Liu Bei was still in the barracks to appease the soldiers, Zhang Xiu had already entered the county seat, and the panicked soldiers hurriedly came to the barracks to inform Liu Bei, saying that Xiangyang had sent troops and had invaded the city.

The military uniforms worn by Zhang Xiu's subordinates were still old military uniforms, the purpose was to confuse the public and make the people in the city think that they were sent by Liu Qi. After killing Liu Bei, he put on a new military uniform and hung the banner of the Han army.

Everyone, including Liu Bei, was surprised when they heard the news, and the soldiers who had been pacified by Liu Bei had rioted again, and everyone never expected that the soldiers of Xiangyang would come so quickly, and they were caught off guard when they attacked.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers dispersed in a hurry, no one went to the barracks to wear armor and take weapons, but they all rushed to the outside of the barracks, no matter how Liu Bei stopped him at the gate of the barracks, it was to no avail.

Liu Bei frowned, looking at such a scene, he couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart, is this the result of the years he has been fighting for? Unexpectedly, before the arrival of the enemy army, they were scattered in a hurry, and it was simply a plate of scattered sand. What else does he need from such an unorganized and undisciplined army?

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Liu Bei hurriedly rode his horse back to the county office, gathered his two hundred personal soldiers, took off their armor one after another, put on the outfits of ordinary people, and then took the road out, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to kill out of the city.

Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and others entered the city, shouting loudly the slogan of "surrender and not kill", and the people were so frightened that they hid on both sides of the road, hiding in their own homes, and did not dare to come out. And the soldiers who fled. Suddenly, a large number of enemy troops entered the city. They all became earthy. At this time, personal interests became the unanimous interests of everyone, and they all thought about how to survive, and they all wanted to be able to go home and reunite with their families, so when they heard the enemy shouting the slogan of "surrender and not kill", they basically stood obediently on both sides of the road, raised their hands, and signaled to the rushing army that they had no weapons. There was no threat either, surrender for your life.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiu's army did not embarrass the soldiers who surrendered, but rushed directly to the county office, surrounded by three roads, but when Zhang Xiu and they came to the county office, where was Liu Bei's figure, and the county government was even more in a mess.

When the county magistrate saw that the person who came was Zhang Xiu, he was very surprised, and he hurriedly walked to Zhang Xiu's side. Respectfully bowed to Zhang Xiu.

After all, Zhang Xiu was Nanyang Taishou before, and Chaoyang County was under the rule of Nanyang County. The county order naturally knows Zhang Xiu. In this way, the county magistrate was happy and felt that he had a backer.

Zhang Xiu's soldiers searched the entire county office, but did not find Liu Bei's figure, but found a pile of armor on the ground, Zhang Xiu realized that Liu Bei may have fled, so he asked the county order to see if Liu Bei was seen.

The county magistrate shook his head and said that when Liu Bei came here, he never trusted him much, and even when Liu Bei fled, he didn't know what to do. However, he knew that Liu Bei was wearing ordinary people's clothes and fled with 200 relatives, and it was estimated that he had already left the city.

Zhang Xiu sneered and said, "I have blocked the main way out of the city, and it is even more difficult for him to get out of the city than to ascend to the sky." You are the county magistrate of this county, and now I need you to take the county officials to appease the people of the county, let them not go out, stay at home as much as possible, and tell them that the person we want to arrest is Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei is caught, everything will be calm, and I hope that the people will provide clues as much as possible. ”

The county magistrate was immediately happy when he heard Zhang Xiu use the word "we", which showed that Zhang Xiu regarded him as his own person. The county order "snorted", immediately lit up the county officials, and took people to the city to go door-to-door to notice.

Chaoyang County is a small county, there are only more than 4,000 residents in the county, and the county seat is not big, so it is very easy to find someone, and the people all know Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei is in the city, it is impossible to escape.

And Zhang Xiu asked Hu Che'er and himself to take a team of people to start searching for Liu Bei in the city.

Liu Bei took 200 personal soldiers, disguised as ordinary people, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. But when they arrived at the city gate, they found that Zhang Xiu's soldiers had blocked the entire city gate, and they couldn't get out at all, and the search in the city also began, so many people were too big a target, so Liu Bei selected ten people with strong martial arts to protect him, so that the rest of the people scattered and tried to escape from the city by themselves.

Until this time, Liu Bei didn't know that the person who came from Lu Dao was Zhang Xiu, and he had been immersed in the thoughts of hating Chen Zhi, thinking that Chen Zhi had betrayed him.

No one in the city didn't know Liu Bei, so Liu Bei disguised himself again, cut off part of his hair, pasted it on his chin, and disguised himself as a bearded person.

Even so, Liu Bei was still not very relieved, in case someone betrayed him again, it would be over. So, he took ten people and broke into a private house, killed all three people in the room, and threw their bodies in the firewood room, and then they lived here temporarily, hoping to avoid the enemy's search.

Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er searched the whole city, gathered all the soldiers who surrendered, and still rushed back to the barracks, and then took care of them, these soldiers did not resist, they all actively cooperated, after all, they were all from Jingzhou, and they all knew that these people were coming for Liu Bei, as long as Liu Bei was caught, they would be fine.

Therefore, these soldiers did not make trouble, they stayed quietly in the barracks, waiting for Liu Bei to be caught, and many of them were secretly glad that they were fortunate not to follow Liu Bei to resist together, otherwise, there would not have been such an end.

The soldiers were all arranged in the barracks, and then they were investigated one by one, and found that there was no Liu Bei in it, so they directly withdrew the army and searched the whole city.

And Zhang Xiu also knew that Liu Bei had lost the trust of the army, and his subordinates were only a few hundred at best, so he boldly transferred the army into the city, blocked the city gate, began to search door to door, and asked the county order to send officials to assist in the search.

The large-scale search began, and there were so many people in Chaoyang County, and more than 10,000 people searched together, which was still very fast. Half an hour. Nearly half of the houses were searched.

Liu Bei hid in a private house. Ants in one's pants. He kept pacing, only to know that there were soldiers everywhere outside the road, but he didn't know what the situation was. So, Liu Bei sent someone out of Lu to inquire about the news, and it didn't take long for the person to come back and tell Liu Bei that the army was conducting a big search in the city. Door-to-door searches.

Liu Bei was also nervous, but pretended to be calm, and suddenly came up with a bad idea, he let the ten henchmen around him flee in different directions, let them carry weapons, kill the army that was searching, attract his attention, and then he took the opportunity to sneak out of the city.

These ten people are all Liu Bei's henchmen. Liu Bei's orders were also obeyed, and after receiving Liu Bei's orders. immediately did what Liu Bei said and acted separately.

When Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and others were searching the houses, many people suddenly came to report that there was a riot in the city, and it was Liu Bei's subordinates who were killing people.

Zhang Xiu immediately made arrangements, sent people to various places to support, and asked Hu Che'er to continue to lead people to search, so as not to prevent Liu Bei from escaping from the chaos.

Zhang Xiu personally led people to a place where Liu Bei's subordinates appeared in the northeast, he had just left, an old man wearing ordinary people's clothes, and he staggered out of an alley, a little difficult, but his sharp eyes looked around everything.

After Zhang Xiu caught a glimpse of the old man, his brows suddenly furrowed, and the old man seemed to feel Zhang Xiu's gaze, and when he looked at each other, there was a trace of panic in the old man's eyes.

After a short period of eye contact, Zhang Xiu discovered the clue, he was riding a horse, suddenly reined in the horse, turned the horse's head, and directly pointed at the old man and shouted to his subordinates: "He is Liu Bei, catch him!" ”

Hu Che'er and the others were all stunned, looking at the old man in front of him with a white beard, no matter what, he couldn't get in touch with Liu Bei.

But Zhang Xiu said that he was Liu Bei, and he would never come out of nowhere, Hu Che'er was about to reach forward and grab the old man, only to see the old man's body flash back, and the cloak he was wearing suddenly showed cold light, and two sharp long swords staggered towards Hu Che'er's big hand.

Seeing this, Hu Che'er was taken aback, and hurriedly retracted his hand, the tip of the sword quickly slashed through his fingertips, and cut off the nail of one finger, which was really dangerous, and couldn't help but make him break out in a cold sweat, if he was a step late, this hand would leave his body.

This old man was none other than Liu Bei, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but who knew that Lu Dao would actually bump into Zhang Xiu, and he was surprised, but also let Zhang Xiu discover his flaws.

Zhang Xiu and others immediately surrounded Liu Bei, and the water in the encirclement was impassable, and the moment many soldiers saw Liu Bei, their eyes suddenly turned red, as if they had seen wealth.

Before entering the city, Zhang Xiu had threatened to say that anyone who could cut off Liu Bei's head would be rewarded heavily, and he didn't say how much the reward was.

Liu Bei saw that he was surrounded by a group of people in the heart of Kanxin, and all around him were eyeing each other, he glanced at Zhang Xiu, who was riding on horseback and squeezing out the crowd, and asked, "It turns out that you are playing ghosts all this!" How did you find out about me? ”

"Although your appearance has changed, your eyes can't be changed, an old person shouldn't have that kind of eyes, so I guess you're pretending. In addition, I have issued martial law, and all the people in the city are not allowed to move around at will, but you are better to appear in the streets with a swagger, can you not arouse my suspicions? Zhang Xiu said.

Liu Bei saw that he was completely exposed, so he took off his disguise, revealed his true face, looked around, and already knew that it was impossible for him to come up with it, so he said to Zhang Xiu: "Are you Liu Qi's subordinate now, or Zhang Yan's subordinate?" ”

"I surrendered to the Han army, so I am naturally a subordinate of His Royal Highness King Yan." Zhang Xiu replied.

"I see. It seems that His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't just want this city, it should be the whole of Jingzhou, right? Liu Bei said, "I don't think it's better to do this, I surrender to His Royal Highness King Yan, I can help His Royal Highness King Yan seize the entire Jingzhou ......."

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly and said to Liu Bei: "If His Royal Highness King Yan wants to seize the entire Jingzhou, it is so easy, how can he rely on you?" Besides, His Royal Highness King Yan has already given me a death order, he wants your head, as long as you bring your head back, I will do a great job. ”

After Liu Bei listened, he was silent anymore, his face was pale, he didn't expect King Yan to give such a death order to Zhang Xiu, it seems that even if he wants to live, he can't live.

But Liu Bei is unwilling, he has worked hard for so many years, and he is still a member of the Han family, so in the end, he is not as good as Zhang Yan, who started as a county lieutenant.

Liu Bei was thinking about how his fate was so unfair, and he had struggled for many years, but in the end he still couldn't escape the doom of being in a different place.

He was not reconciled, but what could he do? In the face of heavy surroundment, he is outnumbered, and no matter what, he will become a ghost under the knife.

The left and right are dead, so it's better to pull a few cushions before you die.

Liu Bei picked up his double-strand sword, let out a hysterical cry, and rushed towards Zhang Xiu.

"Kill!" Zhang Xiu gave an order, and the soldiers surrounding Liu Bei all rushed up...... (To be continued......)
