Plains, Luoyin County.

In the night, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were ready to go, and the target was Jinan in the east of the plain.

Like Cao Cao, during this period of time, Liu Bei also received a letter from Gongsun Zan in three days, ordering him to send troops to the Bohai Sea to resist Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei, although his strength is not strong, his political acumen is enough. Of course, he did not want to get involved in the battle to the Bohai Sea, but he, like Cao Cao, needed a reason not to send troops.

And just when Liu Bei was worried about this, the news came - Liu Kang, the king of Jinan, Xu!

That's great news!

For the first time, Liu Bei was excited because someone had died.

……

Jinan (now Jinan City), one of the vassal states of the Han Dynasty.

Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, Zhongxing Han Dynasty, established the Eastern Han Dynasty, followed the example of the Western Han Dynasty, and divided the princes surnamed Liu. The Kingdom of Jinan was established in 39 A.D. and expelled from the country in 153 A.D. due to the lack of heirs.

In the third year of Xiping (174 AD), Emperor Ling sealed Liu Kang, the son of Liu Li, the king of Hejian, as the lord of Jinan.

At this time, the influence of the vassal states was not as good as before, and the military and political power were all under the control of the local powers.

The country of Jinan is small and weak. It was also when the Yellow Turban remnants were raging in Qingzhou, and Liu Kang, the king of Jinan, was exhausted and died......

……

Liu Kang's death is a godsend!

Xu Shu immediately offered a strategy, in the name of protecting the vassal states and eliminating the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and marched into Jinan. And use this as an excuse to avoid the muddy waters of the Bohai Sea.

After Liu Bei's overjoy, he was still a little hesitant. "This ......"

Needless to say, Xu Shu also knew Liu Bei's worries.

Jinan is a vassal state enshrined by the emperor, and Liu Bei takes the identity of the plain minister and takes it as his own, which is inappropriate.

"Don't worry about it, lord. Jinan Wang Xu, his son Liu Yun is young. When our army pacifies Jinan, goes to the imperial court, and establishes Liu Yun as the lord of the country, Jinan will be within my control. ”

Puppets! Good idea!

Liu Bei no longer had any worries. Ordered Xu Shu and Jian Yong to guard the plain, divided the troops into two roads, ordered Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang to take all the soldiers and horses to take Licheng, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to take all the way. Directly take the capital of Jinan Dongpingling.

Liu Guanzhang and the three of them got acquainted because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Taoyuan formed a righteous relationship, and they were like brothers.

In the eight years since Liu Bei raised his army, he fought in the south and in the north. Although there were many battles, most of them were petty battles. Most of them are commanded by others and obey orders by themselves; Others take the main attack, and they feint; When others eat meat, they drink some soup with them.

Now, at last, there is no need to obey the orders of others, and it is still a battle to attack the city and seize the territory, and the brothers can't help but be a little excited when they think about it!

And the third master, Zhang Fei, is the youngest. The most straightforward temperament, in today's words, is Too young, too simple.

Holding the Zhangba snake spear in one hand and the reins in the other, his body shook and shouted with the equally excited mount: "Big brother, go quickly, don't be robbed by others when it's too late." ”

Liu Bei was also anxious and a little excited. However, Liu Bei is the eldest brother and the lord. Naturally, it is more calm. That mother-in-law's mouth inevitably nagged a few more words.

"Second brother, you lead the troops all the way alone, be careful in everything."

Second Master Guan Yu. His temperament is as calm as his stature. The Qinglong Yanyue Knife crossed the saddle bridge, hugged his fists and saluted: "Big brother, don't worry, just a thief, what can I do." ”

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction. "The second brother is mighty, I am naturally relieved. It's just, this ......"

Guan Yu waited patiently for the eldest brother to grind. Oh. No, it's an order.

"This ...... It's not easy for our brothers to follow us, so the second brother takes care of them more......"

Guan Yu understands that the eldest brother Liu Bei's family is thin and has few soldiers and horses, so he can't bear it.

"Also, this ...... Most of the thieves over there in Licheng are from poor backgrounds, if they have a heart of repentance, the second brother will be merciful......"

"Guan Yu understands!" It's that you have fewer casualties, more prisoners and fewer kills.

Guan Yu took the order, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads took advantage of the night to go to Jinan......

……

Licheng, located in the southwest corner of Jinan, is named after Lishan (Thousand Buddha Mountain).

Licheng is located at the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and is located at the intersection of four counties of Qingzhou, Jinan, Pingyuan, Yanzhou and Taishan. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was a typical four-regardless boundary.

Lishan, belongs to the remnants of Mount Tai, and the thieves are entrenched here.

The country of Jinan, which has no strength, is dead, and for the Lishan bandits, it is a good opportunity to plunder and make a windfall.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the thieves!

The thief chief sat on his horse, looked at his men who were busy and robbed, and laughed.

"Roar hahaha......"

It's been a long time since I've robbed so happily, and the thief chief laughs happily and arrogantly.

"Big brother, it's not good, there are officers and soldiers!"

The minions came to report in a panic, and the thief chief was stunned, what serious officials and soldiers can there be here?

"Let the brothers be quick, you guys, come with me to slaughter these officers and soldiers who don't know whether they are alive or dead." The thief chief greeted and led a team of men and horses to meet the enemy......

……

Guan Yu had already found out the situation of the thieves in Licheng, and ordered 1,000 soldiers in the headquarters to divide into two roads, with 500 people each, to outflank them from both sides and block the way for the thieves to retreat.

Guan Yu only took dozens of people with his relatives, carried knives and urged horses, and rushed to the city from the main road.

Facing it, hundreds of thieves swarmed in.

The first thief chieftain is burly and bearded. He wears a big felt hat and carries a mountain knife. On the body, there is a waist knife on the left and two copper hammers on the right. I don't know how to do martial arts, but the guy has everything.

The thief chief led the crowd to the front and shouted and asked, "Who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and dares to be a grandfather?!" ”

Guan Yufeng's eyes narrowed slightly, his mouth opened slightly under his five locks of long hair. "Plains, Guan Yu."

The thief chieftain is arrogant himself, and he is most unaccustomed to the arrogance of others. Guan Yu's careless appearance was a great humiliation for him.

"Wow! Nameless junior, suffer death! ”

The thief screamed, hurriedly urged the mount, danced the mountain knife, and slashed Guan Yu!

Guan Yu didn't open his eyes for a moment, his body was as stable as Mount Tai, and when the thief chief's big sword was chopped, he suddenly lifted the Qinglong Yanyue Knife.

"Dang!"

The thief chief's sword flew out in an instant.

"Oops!"

The thief chief exclaimed, and before he could react, he felt a chill in his neck......

"Go down!"

Guan Yu let out a low snort and shook his wrist......

"Puff ......"

The Thief Chief fell from his horse......

The sky, so blue; The ground is so cool; The opponent is condescending and majestic like a god......

"Get up!"

"Uh...... Yes...... Am I not dead yet? ”

The thief chief himself didn't believe that he was still alive, and touched his neck, as if it hadn't been broken......

The eldest brother Liu Bei instructed Guan Yu to surrender the thief, but he did not make a killing move, but only dismounted the thief chief with the back of the knife.

The thief chief was fierce, and when he learned the good news that he was not dead, he got up with a grunt, pulled out his waist knife, and jumped up again!

"Dang!"

The waist knife is missing......

"Ahh

The thief chief rolled on the spot, turned over and got up again. Relying on the guy's troubles, he stretched out his hand and took off two copper hammers!

"When! While! ”

Like two kicks, two sounds, two copper hammers each fly something.

The thief chief froze in place, looking at his empty hands in disbelief, and then at the opponent in front of him. Is this Nima human? Is this Nima a man or a god? This Nima is God!

"You have no weapons, and if you fight again, I can only take your head!"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and shot out two cold lights, which made the thief chief shudder.

"Kill!"

On both sides, the roundabout Plains Army has surrounded the bandits.

"Kneel, don't die!"

The Plains Army is mighty!

The thief is gone, and the thief chief has been shocked and knelt down unconsciously......

Looking up at the god-like Guan Yu, the thief chief knelt on the ground......

"Zhou Cang, willing to descend ......" (to be continued.) )
