NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5
That winter, Xuzhou changed hands.
Liu Bei led 20,000 troops and horses, marched northward along the Surabaya River at starry night, and headed straight for Xiapi.
Deng Mu and his party headed east along the Huai River to Haixi County, which belongs to Guangling County.
Three days later, ten miles west of Haixi County.
Deng Mu rode his horse over a mound, and the outline of a city was vaguely visible in front of him.
"Brother, I still don’t understand. Liu Xuande went north to capture Xia Pi, but why do we have to go east to this Haixi area?"
"This is completely the opposite."
Deng Ai, who followed, couldn't help but feel confused and asked again.
Deng Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This child has a hundred thousand reasons. Do you have to break the casserole and ask the truth?…
"Liu Xuande will definitely lose in a battle with Lu Bu, and there is absolutely no way he can recapture Xiapi"
"After the defeat of this battle, all the north of Xiapi belonged to Lu Bu. He could only change his route to the south, hoping to capture Guangling County."
"How could Yuan Shu let such a piece of fat go? He would definitely mobilize an army to fight for it."
"With his army defeated so miserably, he was naturally no match for Yuan Shu, and it was certain that he would suffer another disastrous defeat."
"Looking at Xuzhou during the introduction, there was only one place to stay in Haixi, so he would lead his defeated army to come"
"We are just waiting for him in Haixi City."
Deng Mu couldn't stand Deng Ai's repeated questioning, so he had to judge between
"I see."
Deng Airuo had some realization, but was confused and said:
"But why is Haixi County the only place for Liu Xuande to stay?"
"Haixi is the territory of the Mi family, and Mi Zhu is Liu Xuande's loyal supporter. Who do you think Liu Xuande would choose to rely on when he is desperate?"
Deng Mu clarified the mystery.
Deng Mu suddenly realized it, and his childish face could not help but show wonder.
"Brother, you are really a worm in Liu Xuande’s belly!"
"You know every move he makes, including which leg he takes first when he takes a step!"
Deng Mu curled his lips and glared at him.
Are you so flattering?
Deng Ai realized that he had flattered the horse's leg, coughed a few times, and wanted to correct it.
At this time, dust and mist suddenly rose in front of him..Two teams of people and horses, one behind the other, came from the northwest.
In front was a team of carriages and horses, under the banner of the"Mi" family, running wildly.
Behind them were more than thirty cavalrymen, under the banner of"Mi" family. The flag with the word"Wei" is in pursuit.
It should be Lu Bu's general Wei Xu, who is chasing the Mi family.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Deng Ai clenched his sword and looked at Deng Mu anxiously.
Mi was a die-hard fan of Lao Liu. Since he wanted to assist Liu Bei, how could he sit back and ignore Mi when he saw him in trouble?
"Zhou Zifeng obeys the order!"
"You lead your brothers to attack from the flank and defeat the pursuers by surprise!"
Deng Mu glanced at the stern general behind him.
Zhou Cang, Zhou Zifeng.
They were originally Yellow Turban bandits, who gathered in the mountains and forests, and became bandits in the Funiu Mountain area.
After Deng Mu learned about it, he privately donated a sum of food and grass. , in order to make a good win.
This time the fake envoy came to Jingzhou, and considering that someone had to be a guard on the way, he asked Zhou Cang to go down the mountain to accompany him. Zhou Cang was a big fan of the second master of Guan, and after learning that Deng Mu intended to assist Liu Bei, he He decisively abandoned the stronghold and selected dozens of capable brothers who were willing to serve as his personal bodyguards.
"You guys, stay and protect the young master."
"The rest of you, follow me to defeat the enemy!"
Zhou Cang was also unambiguous. He slapped his horse, raised his sword, and led a group of brothers to kill him.
On the road, two brothers, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, were scolding his soldiers, crowding two carriages, heading towards Haixi County. He was running quickly in the direction.
The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.
Sharp arrows roared in, knocking his servants to the ground one after another.
"If he continues like this, Wei Xu will definitely catch up!"
"When the time comes when my mistress and young master are lost, how will I respond to the master?"
Mi Zhu secretly gritted his teeth, with a sad look on his face.
When Xiapi fell, he was on his way to the Prefecture Mufu to greet his mistress, Mrs. Xu.
Under the urgent situation, he protected the Xu family and their infant son and escaped from Xiapi City.
Originally, he was afraid that Lu Bu would pursue him south, so he did not dare to go south to join Zhang Fei, and took Xu's mother and son to the east to avoid Haixi.
Unexpectedly, after Lu Bu found out the whereabouts of Liu Bei's family, he decisively sent Wei Xu and his light cavalry to pursue and capture them. The group of people fled for three days at night and night. They were about to reach Haixi, but they were overtaken by Wei Xu.
A loud neighing sound sounded, interrupting Mi Zhu's thoughts.
When he turned around, he was surprised to see one of them. The horses of a carriage were struck by arrows and fell to the ground.
The carriage lost control and fell to the ground.
"No, the mistress's carriage has overturned. Brother, what should I do?"
Mi Fang was shocked and turned pale.
Mi Zhu shouted without thinking:"There's no need to ask, hurry up and rescue the mistress and the young master."
The two brothers turned their horses and were about to turn back.
It was too late.
Dozens of cavalry pursuers came and killed the Mi family soldiers with low combat power with a single chop.
The fallen carriage was about to be destroyed. Lu Jun surrounded him.
Mi Zhu clenched his fists, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
Turn around and save him. He has no chance of being an opponent with his few troops. He is afraid that his brother's life will be at stake here.
If he doesn't save, he will lose his mistress. How to explain to Liu Bei the guilt of the young master and the young master?
Suddenly.
A burst of killing sounds sounded from the side.
Hundreds of men and horses, like magic soldiers descending from the sky, rolled down the slope and entered the battle group.
Zhou Cang led the army. Killed.
He took the lead and charged into the rebel army, waving the long knife in his hand, chopping vegetables and melons, and taking several heads in a row. A hundred elite guards behind him surged up and pounced on the confused Lu Jun cavalry.
This sudden A group of people and horses rushed out in time, and Lu Jun was stunned and killed by surprise.
The situation was reversed!
"Whose troops are these?"
"It's really a timely help and saved us!"
Mi Fang was ecstatic and shouted excitedly.
Mi Zhu was also full of surprise and looked towards the south anxiously.
Dozens of steps away
, a young master in a green shirt and holding a sword immediately came into view.
"That young man must be the leader of this team."
"I wonder where he comes from? Mi
Zhu's thoughts were racing and she was guessing.
At this moment,
Mi Fang's expression changed and she exclaimed:"Brother, no, Wei Xu is going after our little sister!""
Mi Zhu's heart was shaken, and she looked back anxiously.
She saw Wei Xu rushing towards another carriage alone, and killed the soldiers guarding the carriage with a few swords. He raised a knife in his hand and chopped it down in the air.
"Click!"
The car curtain was chopped into pieces.
A stunningly beautiful woman with a face full of panic appeared inside.
