Chenggao.

Jia Xu quickly sealed a letter and handed it to the secret guard beside him, asking him to hand over the letter to Liu Xie as soon as possible. Now that Liu Xie has left Chang'an for one month, he has calculated the journey. He should have been about to pass Hongnong and arrived at Hangu Pass.

The coalition forces came faster than expected. Not to mention the three princes of the Central Plains, the main army of Jizhou is already on the verge of Hanoi and wars may occur at any time. Mengjin has sent several urgent documents, and Zhu Jun has sent people to ask many times whether to recruit civilians from the public?

The war potential in Heluo is not low now. More than 1.5 million people are migrating in. If you really want to recruit, you can recruit 100,000 people from all over the country at any time. However, the people's hearts are not stable. At this moment, recruiting people from all over the country can only cause trouble. Therefore, Jia Xu hopes that Liu Xie can send troops to support him first.

I hope you can get there!

Seeing the secret guard leave, Jia Xu sighed. Liu Bei's troops were not in place yet. The guards on Ao Cang and Xingyang were empty. It was difficult to take care of the three cities with just the few thousand troops in Chenggao. Now, we are waiting for Liu Bei's 30,000 troops to come and enrich the defense line.

"Sir." Gao Shun walked in from the door with a serious look on his face, bowed to Jia Xu and said, "The news about Liu Bei has been found."

"Oh?" Jia Xu's eyes lit up: "Where are they?"

"In Yuanling, Jizhou pioneer Yan Liang and Huainan pioneer Sun Ce fought one after another, and they all won. However, according to local information, Cao Cao's main force should be nearby. If he collided with Cao Cao, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Gao Shun said suang.

"General Gao, please lead 3,000 elite troops to respond immediately!" Jia Xu's expression turned solemn when he heard this. This time it was not the time to start a war with Cao Cao. According to Jia Xu's analysis, Cao Cao should not take the initiative to be an enemy of the court. This time, it is probably just a formality. Liu Bei's 30,000 troops are of great use. It is best not to have a head-on conflict with Cao Cao.

"Then Chenggao..." Gao Shun couldn't help frowning when he heard this. There were only 5,000 soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass, and 3,000 were pulled out, and the remaining 2,000 people were not easy to defend.

"I have ordered the Yanshiwei to send Yanshi troops to support him, and this time it is just a response. Once Liu Bei meets Liu Bei, he will immediately lead his troops to Ao Cang. Xingyang can ignore it for the time being, but the land of Ao Cang is crucial and there must be no mistakes!" Jia Xu shook his head and said, "The coalition has not arrived yet, even if there are a small group of troops attacking, with the defensive power of Hulao Pass, two thousand soldiers are enough to deal with it."

"What's more, there are the latest equipment sent by the Ministry of Works, even if it is thousands of troops, it may not be possible to attack the Hulao." Thinking of the latest equipment sent by the Ministry of Works, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile. With these giant city-guarding equipment, it may not be enough to make progress, but if it is defending, Hulao will be as safe as Mount Tai.

"Here! Let's go here." Gao Shun intervened and took the military talisman to mobilize troops.

The Yanshi's troops were transferred to Hulao, which had been decided before. At present, there were many people in Heluo, and the Huben Guard had begun to recruit troops in various cities and replace the troops of each county. The three passes were not broken. For the time being, the Heluo Pass was relatively stable. As the main attack point of the princes of Guandong, Hulao Pass must focus on defense. Not only was it equipped with the latest weapons developed by the Ministry of Works, but it could not relax its strength.

Soon, Gao Shun and the three thousand elite soldiers of the Huzhu came out of the gate and followed the Meishan area to Yuanling. He hoped that he could find Liu Bei and take them back to Ao Cang before Cao Cao and Liu Bei met.

Two days later, when Gao Shun and three thousand elite troops arrived at Meishan, he received a war report from the front line. Liu Bei and Cao Cao had already started a war, and the winner had already been decided. Liu Bei was defeated and now he led the remnants of the army to station in the Wulin area.

"How about the casualties?" Gao Shun couldn't help frowning after hearing the news, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to lose so quickly.

"The 30,000 army is now less than 10,000. As for the specific casualties, it is not known." The scout bowed and said.

"Where is Cao Cao's troops stationed now?" Gao Shun's mind sank. The 30,000 troops were less than 10,000, which was a great defeat!

"I have retreated to the Wei family, and it seems that I have no intention of continuing to march." The scout leader said.

Gao Shun thought for a while and said, "Tell the three armies to set up camps and camps, and go to the Linlin!"

Lilin.

Liu Bei's camp, after the treatment of military doctors, Liu Bei was out of danger of life and woke up. He was dragging his body and looking dazed to the southeast. His originally clean face had not been washed for two days and had already accumulated a lot of stubble. He looked not only decadent, but also a little sloppy. However, Liu Bei, who usually pays great attention to appearance, did not care about these things at this moment.

Not far away from him, Guan Yu knelt silently on the ground without explaining anything. The news of Zhang Fei's death had already been heard. No matter how he explained it, it was irreversible. Although Liu Bei did not blame him, his inner self-blame bit him like a knife. After Cao Cao woke up, he did not make things difficult for Zhang Fei's body, and left him in place. He just restrained Xiahou Dun's body and retreated back to Weishi.

This battle, regardless of the outcome, is not a happy thing for Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

"Lord, Junhou, you haven't eaten for two days. Before you recover from your injuries, it's not too late to eat something first and then make a decision." Chen Dao and Guan Ping came over with two pots of pottery, and a burst of meat fragrance came from inside, but they couldn't attract the two of them at this moment.

Seeing this, Chen Dao couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, a fast horse rushed over. The scout immediately turned over and fell off the horse, knelt beside Liu Bei, and said hoarsely: "Lord, the body of the third general has been sent back."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu suddenly looked up, their eyes shining a little. Liu Bei swallowed and looked at the scout and said, "Where is the third brother now?"

"Being outside the camp, General Zhou Cang is guarding him." The scout bowed.

"Let's go!" Liu Bei didn't care about saying anything more when he heard this, and ran away from the camp with the pain. Behind him, Guan Yu got up with Guan Ping's support and walked out of the camp with a little staggering pace. He had been kneeling for two days, and suddenly stood up, his legs were already numb, but he urged Guan Ping to help him walk out of the camp quickly.

Although he had received the news of his death, when he saw Zhang Fei's body, Liu Bei couldn't help but shed tears. Zhang Fei's body was carried onto a stretcher and was carried up together. Zhang Fei's beloved horse, the black horse, was already dying at this moment, but he refused to leave his master for a moment.

When Liu Bei and Guan Yu came, BMW was psychic and recognized these two as the closest people of the masters, and let out a weak cry.

"Yide" looked at Zhang Fei's body that was glaring until his death. Liu Bei felt sad and fainted from crying.

Guan Yu's heart was as if he was shattered at the moment. He was kneeling down in Zhang Fei in advance. He had never shed a single tear since the rebellion in Taoyuan. At this moment, he couldn't help but burst into tears. The man did not cry easily, because he had not reached the sad place. At this moment, Zhang Fei's death was completely broken for the three people who were used to relying on each other.

It took a long time to wait until Liu Bei was forced to drink a few bites of the broth by Chen Dao and others, and then he woke up slowly. Looking at Zhang Fei's body, he felt sad again.

Guan Yu took a deep breath and looked at the dying black horse next to Zhang Fei's body. Zhou Cang, who was beside him, hurried forward and said, "When we found the third master's body, the horse's legs were broken and crawled beside the third master's body. Someone got close to him and bit him. We were waiting for it to lose strength before lifting the third master up, but the horse was unwilling to leave and insisted on following him and refused to eat it. We saw that it was pitiful, and it was the third master's beloved horse, so we asked it to come up together and carry it back with the third master."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu looked at Wu Zhi with a hint of pity. When Gongsun Zan sent this horse, he was supposed to give it to Guan Yu, but Zhang Fei had a special liking for it. He asked Guan Yu to come over with a silent look. Now Zhang Fei is dead. Looking at the horse's silence, he is obviously ready to die for the master. But how could Guan Yu watch his third brother's love riding starve to death like this?

He asked Guan Ping to pick up a bundle of fodder himself, sprinkle some fine salt, and Guan Yu sent the fodder to Wu Ge's mouth.

Wu Qi looked at the forage, then looked at Guan Yu again, rubbed Guan Yu's arm intimately, and pushed the forage aside with his head, refusing to eat it.

Many soldiers around him felt an inexplicable feeling of sorrow in their hearts. Such a spiritual horse was only seen in their life. When Liu Bei saw this, tears in his eyes poured out again, and he hugged the black horse and cried bitterly.

Guan Yu sighed, silently pulled out the sword from his waist, and looked at Liu Bei: "Brother... let it do it."

Liu Bei shook his head, grabbed a handful of hay, and sent it to Wu Zhi's mouth. Seeing Wu Zhi turn his head and send it to the other side. Guan Yu couldn't bear to watch this back and forth. Amid Liu Bei's cry of pain, he pulled Liu Bei away and pierced Wu Zhi's head with a sword.

"Three Brothers"

Guan Yu raised his head and prevented his tears from shedding again.

"Lord, lord, let the third generals be buried as soon as possible." After Liu Bei's mood stabilized, Chen Dao came to Liu Bei silently and bowed.

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded sadly, glanced at the already angry Wu Zhi, and said sadly: "This horse is the third brother who loved horses during his lifetime. He was very loyal to his third brother, so he buried him with his third brother, so that he would not be lonely in the dark."

"Here!" Chen Dao bowed and replied.

"Report"

A scout came over and came to everyone in a moment, turned over and dismounted, bowed and said, "Lord, Lord, I found a soldier in the distance, approaching here."

"But Cao Jun!?" Guan Yu pressed the sword suddenly, and a horrified murderous intent flashed in Danfeng's eyes.

"It should be no sign, it's the imperial army." The scout was startled by the murderous aura that burst out from Guan Yu's body at that moment, and quickly shook his head.

"The army of the court?" Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "I regret not listening to Mr. Wenhe's words. After such a defeat, I even lost my third brother!"

Thinking of Zhang Fei's death, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel heartbroken again.

"Brother, let's go and meet with the people from the court first." Guan Yu sighed. Since Chen Gong left, there has been a missing person who gave advice by Liu Bei. He didn't think anything before, but now he thinks that if Chen Gong is still there, they wouldn't be so passive.
