A few days later, Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an. Liu Dai, the prefect of Yanzhou, asked Qiao Mao to borrow grain, but Qiao Mao refused. Liu Dai led his troops into Qiao Mao's camp and surrendered his troops.
The princes from all walks of life had no intention of continuing the pursuit. They dispersed and led their troops to break out of the stronghold. They left Luoyang and prepared to return to their own territories.
"Brother, that boy Yuan Shao really wants to kill us?" Zhang Fei asked Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei came out of Yuan Shao's camp, he immediately rushed towards Qingzhou Pingyuan County with a few soldiers and horses.
"Third brother, since Yuan Shao knows that he will lose to Cao Cao in the future, he now wants to tie us together to increase his chances of winning. You said that in order to defeat Cao Cao in the future, Yuan Shao will let his brother go. A fairy?" Liu Bei explained to Zhang Fei while riding his horse.
"Third brother, what the eldest brother said is true. It's not like you don't know Yuan Shao. Before, he even tried to covet our eldest brother's immortal things without spending any money." Guan Yu said immediately.
"Hey! I guess Yuan Shao, the birdman, doesn't have any good intentions. I asked him why he suddenly became respectful of his elder brother. It turns out that he was thinking about his immortal creature and asked me to slap him a few times when I met him. A slap in the face won't do it." Zhang Fei said angrily, luckily he had a good impression of Yuan Shao when he praised his eldest brother.
"Hey." When the three Liu Bei brothers saw soldiers and horses blocking them in front of them, they immediately reined in their horses and stopped them.
The visitor was none other than Yan Liangwen, Chou Chunyu and Qiong Gaogan, one of Yuan Shao's four major generals.
"Come here, bring my brother's weapons!" Guan Yu was unkind and immediately asked people to bring his and Zhang Fei's weapons.
After a while, four people came out from the back of the army, two in pairs carrying Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword and Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear.
"Liu Bei, hand over the immortal object, and we can let you go!" Yan Liangxiang put his long knife on the ground and shouted to Liu Bei.
"The little Yanliang who put in a bid to sell his life dares to speak nonsense. Third brother, please protect your elder brother, and come and go as long as you want for your brother's sake."
"drive!"
With that said, Guan Yu rushed towards Yan Liang with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
"Let me go meet him!" Yan Liang shouted and galloped towards Guan Yu.
"Qiang!"
The two clashed, and Guan Yu's powerful force almost knocked Yan Liang off the horse. Yan Liang was caught off guard and was stabbed under the horse by Guan Yu!
"Who else are you waiting for?" Guan Yu, who was riding on Dawan, raised his head and stroked his two-foot-long beard with one hand. With the other hand, he held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword horizontally on the ground and asked Wen Chou and the others coldly.
Wen Chou and others were frightened by Guan Yu after seeing Yan Liang for less than two rounds. They did not dare to challenge alone. They looked at each other.
"Charge!" Wen Chou gave the order and Chunyu Qiong Gaogan led 2,000 elite soldiers to kill Guan Yu!
"Damn it, you want three people to bully my second brother and kill him!" Zhang Fei and Liu Bei also led their men to kill Wen Chou.
Nine hundred versus two thousand, they met in close combat. Guan Yu moved his horse forward and killed several of Wen Chou's soldiers with a single stroke of his sword. He was then surrounded by Wen Chou, Chunyu Qiong, and Gao Gan.
"Second brother, let me help you!" When Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu being beaten by a group of people, he immediately rushed towards Guan Yu and resolved the dilemma of Guan Yu being beaten by three people.
Although Liu Bei's military strength was higher than that of ordinary soldiers, he was not like the first-rate generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who could move freely among the enemy troops and soon fell into the siege of the enemy troops.
"Third brother, go and protect your eldest brother and cover his retreat. Leave this to me!" Guan Yu immediately asked Zhang Fei to protect Liu Bei while he stayed here to break up the rear.
"Hey, hey!" Zhang Fei glanced around and then rode his horse to support Liu Bei!
Even though Guan and Zhang had the courage to defeat ten thousand people, the disparity in numbers still put Liu Bei at a disadvantage.
"Brother, please leave quickly, I will break the rear!" Guan Yu stopped the three generals alone and asked Liu Bei to retreat.
"I won't leave. The three of us brothers have to go together and die together!" Liu Bei said that he was unwilling to come and continued to kill the enemy with his two swords. He also added many wounds to his body. Fortunately, no vital parts were hurt!
"Brother, you are holding a fairy in your hand. Please think of the people of Qingzhou and put the overall situation of the world first!"
"Da da da!" At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from not far away, and a puff of smoke and dust rose up from behind Wen Chou's troops. Everyone looked in the direction of the smoke and dust, and saw a handsome flag with the character "hole" in front of them.
"I am Zong Bao, a subordinate of Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai. I have been specifically ordered to come to rescue General Liu!" Zong Bao led Kong Rong's troops to kill Wen Chou.
"Reinforcements are coming, big brother, reinforcements are coming!" Zhang Fei pointed at Zong Bao who came to rescue and shouted excitedly.
But Liu Bei didn't show the slightest excitement. Kong Rong's men didn't come early or late, but they came at this time. Who knows whether they might have just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fallen into the wolf's den again.
"Retreat, retreat!" Wen Chou looked at Zong Bao who came to support and immediately retreated without saying a word.
Guan and Zhang did not order a hunt. More than half of the nine hundred soldiers were killed or injured in one battle. Half of the family fortune that they had finally accumulated was lost in an instant. Liu Bei's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother!" Guan Yu rode to Liu Bei's side, patted Liu Bei's shoulder and comforted Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei, who was usually very chatty, also remained silent.
"General Liu, my rescue is late." Zong Bao gave Liu Bei a simple salute.
Liu Bei controlled his inner emotions, cupped his hands and said to Zong Bao: "Liu Bei is very grateful that the general can come to rescue me. How can he blame the general? I just don't know why the general knew that Liu Bei would be killed here."
"Haha, I don't know this either. It was my lord who asked me to come here. I didn't expect to see General Liu in danger as soon as I got here. Fortunately, I didn't arrive too late to hurt General Liu, otherwise my lord would probably blame me. "Zong Bao explained.
"My lord also asked me to escort the general back to Pingyuan County." Zong Bao continued.
Liu Bei became even more confused when he heard this. Could it be that Kong Rong was so kind and asked people to come to rescue him without asking for anything in return?
"In that case, let's trouble General." Liu Bei didn't refuse. If Zong Bao wanted to do something to them, he could wait until Wen Chou defeated them before coming out. There was no need to wait until now.
At the same time, Jizhou on the other side.
"Let's take a look, what should we do now?" Han Fu asked his wise men Xun Chen and Xin Ping.
Not long ago, he received a secret letter from Yuan Shao, asking him to form an alliance with him. Han Fu didn't know what to do, so he called his wisdom group to discuss it together.
"Back to my lord, Yuan Benchu is very wise and brave, and he is good-looking and ugly. He has many famous generals. Moreover, the immortal reminds that in the future, Yecheng will belong to Yuan Shao's son. This means that the lord has defeated Yuan Shao. He can take advantage of the opportunity to invite Yuan Shao to rule the state affairs. Yuan Shao I will definitely not treat my lord badly."
Han Fu thought about it and it seemed like this was the case. Since he would be defeated in the future, why not directly invite Yuan Shao to govern the state affairs now? If he couldn't defeat him, then he would join.
"I will write a letter now and deliver it to Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao to work with me to manage the affairs of Jizhou."
