He took a bath, changed into a brand new shirt, and was escorted into a prisoner car by the soldiers of the Qin army who followed Xu Shu to Yecheng.

With this team of Qin soldiers, escorting Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, Xu Shu did not delay at all and hurriedly left Yecheng.

Yuan Shao's subordinates are also quite capable, if he stays here for a long time, someone will definitely see the real purpose of his coming to Yecheng.

Once Yuan Shao really killed Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and just gave his head to Liu Bian, Liu Bian's intention was to make a soup, and he couldn't express his dissatisfaction with what Yuan Shao did.

After all, Xu Shu came to Yecheng and told Yuan Shao that he would escort Tian Feng and Fu Zhu to Luoyang and wait for Liu Wei to fall.

With the team, escorted Tian Feng and Fu Zhi along the streets of Yecheng to the city gate.

As he was on the way, a few people came in front of him.

The first person saw Xu Shu from a distance, was stunned for a moment, and then urged him to step forward, arched his fist at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "How did Brother Yuan come to Yecheng?" ”

It was none other than Liu Bei, who lost Xuzhou and came to Hebei to seek refuge with Yuan Shao.

Because Liu Bei lost Xuzhou, and he was not a subordinate under Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao convened everyone to discuss sending troops, and did not invite Liu Bei to go.

Seeing that it was Liu Bei who blocked the way, Xu Shu hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted him back and said, "Xuande Gong!" A certain person came here on the orders of His Royal Highness to escort Tian Feng and frustrated to Luoyang! ”

Chaotian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at it, and Liu Bei's face showed a hint of abruptness, but then he said to Xu Shu: "Brother Yuan is here, so you should invite your brother to your home to drink!" ”

Xu Shu had something in his heart, and he was only in a hurry to leave Yecheng immediately, where would he eat Liu Bei's invitation, when he hugged his fists and said to Liu Bei: "Duke Xuande is too polite, he has been strictly ordered by His Royal Highness, and he does not dare to delay the time. ”

Seeing that Xu Shu refused to stay, Liu Bei didn't want to say anything, so he hugged his fists and said to Xu Shu: "That is the case, don't dare to delay Brother Yuan, I hope that Brother Yuan will go all the way!" ”

"Thank you!" Arching towards Liu Bei, Xu Shu shouted to the soldiers of the Qin army behind him: "Go!" ”

A group of Qin soldiers escorted Tian Feng and Fu Zhi's prisoner cart and went towards the city gate.

Looking back at the backs of Xu Shu and the others, it was not until they walked away that Liu Bei whispered to Zhang Fei: "You and I will go to see Yuan Gong immediately!" ”

"What is my brother doing when he goes to see Yuan Shao at this time?" didn't understand why Liu Bei suddenly wanted to see Yuan Shao, Zhang Feiwen asked angrily.

"It's quite strange!" Looking at Xu Shu and the others who had already gone away, Liu Bei lowered his voice and said to Zhang Fei: "Xu Shu has always been in Luoyang, and the King of Qin actually sent him to Yecheng at this time, and just to mention two criminals, there must be a plan, I will remind Yuan Gong first!" ”

"Even if there are any intentions, what does it have to do with my brother?" Liu Bei's words really made Zhang Fei full of confusion, he frowned, looked at Liu Bei and asked, "I'm waiting for someone to send people under the fence, what do you do with these things?" ”

From Xu Shu hurriedly leaving Yecheng, Liu Bei saw something strange, and the reason why he wanted to remind Yuan Shao was only for two purposes.

One purpose is that he wants to take the opportunity to curry favor with Yuan Shao and get more benefits from Yuan Shao; Another purpose is to take the opportunity to let Yuan Shao have a little bit of mustard for Liu Wei, only in this way can he survive in the cracks of this troubled world.

At this time, Liu Bei was like a loach mixed in a small river.

The water is too clear, not only will it not be good for him, but it will make it more difficult for him to survive, on the contrary, if the mud in the water is muddy, he will be like a fish in water and profit from it.

Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't understand his intentions, and it was not good to tell Zhang Fei bluntly about this matter, Liu Bei just said to Zhang Fei very depressedly: "Don't ask so much, hurry up and go with Brother Wei to see Yuan Gong!" ”

met Liu Bei in the market, but Xu Shu didn't think about it so much.

For a long time, Liu Wei has not had a good impression of Liu Bei, but as a military advisor before Liu Wei's account, Xu Shu has a good impression of Liu Bei.

After all, Liu Bei's reputation in the world is still good since the rebels assisted the official army in suppressing the Yellow Turban.

led the team out of Yecheng, and it was already a little late.

Riding a horse to the front, Xu Shu raised his head and looked at the sky red by the sunset, and then looked back at the Yecheng city wall that had gradually faded away, and ordered the soldiers in the team: "Release the two of you from the prisoner car, and I will find a place to stay tonight!" ”

Several soldiers of the Qin army responded, and were about to step forward to open the prisoner car for Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, but Tian Feng hurriedly shouted: "Wait! ”

was stopped by Tian Feng, and the soldiers didn't dare to continue to move, and they all turned their heads to look at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was also puzzled, looked at Tian Feng and asked, "What does Yuan Hao mean?" ”

"Brother Yuan!" Standing on the prisoner car, Tian Feng looked at Xu Shu and said: "If we go straight out of the city, it doesn't matter, but Brother Yuan met Liu Xuande on the road, so he can't let the two of me go!" ”

Tian Feng's words really surprised Xu Shu.

He didn't have much contact with Liu Bei, but most of what he heard were Liu Bei's good words, only Liu Wei had always had the attitude of preferring to be separated by Liu Bei for 108,000 miles rather than recognize him as a relative.

In the past, when Liu Wei mentioned Liu Bei, he always said something unhappy in his heart, but Xu Shu didn't think so, thinking that Liu Wei might be because his family was an authentic Han dynasty, and Liu Bei was just a distant relative and refused to recognize him.

Hearing that Tian Feng said that he couldn't let go of the two of them, Xu Shu's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Tian Feng: "Then Liu Xuande is famous and is also a kind person, could it be that Yuan Hao has something to do with him?" ”

"There has never been a festival!" Tian Feng, who was standing in the prisoner car, shook his head and smiled, and said to Xu Shu: "Brother Yuan Zhi is very wise, but how can he not recognize people clearly? ”

Looking at Tian Feng, Xu Shu was full of doubts.

He really never thought too badly about Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei repeatedly abandoned his family, he didn't despise him from the bottom of his heart.

In the troubled times, if you want to achieve a great cause, joining Liu Bei and abandoning his family and ignoring his family, in Xu Shu's opinion, is just a way to do it.

"Liu Xuande lost Xuzhou, like a lost dog!" Looking at each other with Xu Shu, Tian Feng said to him: "What he wants to do most now is not to defeat Cao Cao, but to gain some benefits from it when Yuan Gong and Cao Cao fight each other." Brother Yuan Zhi was ordered by His Royal Highness to escort the two of us, although Yuan Gong didn't say it, he already had doubts in his heart! If Brother Yuan let go of the two of us, and the people sent by Yuan Gong to chase after him saw it, I am afraid that they will immediately feel that something is wrong, and the lives of the two of us will be fine, but between Yuan Gong and King Qin, I am afraid that there will be a lot of mustard! ”

After listening to Tian Feng's words, Xu Shu still didn't believe it.

Seeing that Xu Shu didn't believe it, Tian Feng had no choice but to shake his head and say to him: "If Brother Yuan doesn't believe it, he will first lock the two of us in the prison car and stay until the evening to see if Yuan Gong can let people come to chase him!" ”

I didn't believe Tian Feng's words very much in my heart, but Xu Shu didn't say anything, but he didn't let the soldiers put the two off the prisoner car.

He led the team forward for some distance, and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Riding on horseback, raising his eyes and looking ahead, Xu Shu found that at the end of the horizon ahead, the shadow of a small village loomed.

Seeing the small village, Xu Shu raised his hand and pointed forward, and shouted to the soldiers of the Qin army in the team: "There is a village ahead, I will spend the night in the village tonight!" ”

The soldiers did not respond, but just escorted the prisoner cart and followed Xu Shu towards the small village that appeared at the end of the horizon.

From a distance, the village is not very far away, but when you really walk, the road is not close.

As he was marching, Xu Shu heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him.

At first, the sound of horses' hooves was so soft that you couldn't hear anything unless you listened carefully, but later on, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Xu Shu hurriedly turned his head and looked back.

What appeared in his field of vision was a group of hoplites.

Because it was night, Xu Shu couldn't see what kind of armor the cavalry was wearing, but now it was near Yecheng, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be under Yuan Shao's command.

The soldiers of the Qin army who followed behind Xu Shu found a group of cavalry rushing up, and they all turned around one by one and drew their long swords from their waists.

The one who led the cavalry to chase Xu Shu and others was Zhang He, one of the four court pillars in Hebei under Yuan Shao.

Riding a horse and rushing in front of Xu Shu and the others, Zhang He waved his hand behind him, and a group of cavalry restrained the war horses, and Zhang He went around to Xu Shu's side.

"Xu Junshi!" Restraining the war horse, Zhang He arched his fist at Xu Shu and said: "Yuan Gong was worried that there was a prisoner on the road, so he specially ordered a certain person to come to escort him!" ”

"Yuan Gong has a heart!" When Zhang He and the others came, Xu Shu subconsciously glanced at Tian Feng, and then he arched his fist to Zhang He and said, "There is General Lao!" ”

After meeting Xu Shu, Zhang He glanced at Tian Feng and Fu Zhu on the prisoner car, and saw that the restraints on the two had not been loosened, so it was determined that Xu Shu was not here to rescue the two as Liu Bei said.

"Where do you intend to rest tonight?" Seeing that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were not untied, let alone leaving the prisoner car, Zhang He asked Xu Shu a question.

Raising his eyes to look at the village that was already closer, Xu Shu raised his hand and pointed forward, and said to Zhang He: "There is a village ahead, tonight should be a rest!" ”

Chasing Xu Shu and the others all the way, Zhang He didn't pay attention to the village in front of him, and when he heard Xu Shu say this, he turned his head and looked forward.

Sure enough, seeing a village in front of him, Zhang He said to Xu Shu: "Although there is a village, there are many of us, so it is better to camp in the field at night, so it is safer!" ”

Turning around and glancing at the cavalry brought by Zhang He, seeing that there were a lot of cavalry, Xu Shu nodded and said to Zhang He: "What the general said is also reasonable, I will camp in the field tonight!" ”
