The Pension Plan Expands from the Three Kingdoms to the Heavens

Chapter 475 Liu Bei’s Midlife Crisis (Fourth update, thanks to Han Pengyu)
After explaining to his slaves, Mephisto's figure immediately flashed away and headed straight to the west. Sun Quan also refused to mention the military order to continue the attack on Wulin City.

After all, the reason why he has such confidence to defy the sky, the earth, and the air is because of Mephisto, a great supporter in the military camp.

Although he is somewhat moderately ambitious now, he is still quite capable!

But I gave myself a lot of excuses, such as:

"Our army has been fighting for days, so it's okay to let the soldiers rest for a few days! Anyway, Wulin City's defenses are loose now, even if there are reinforcements, it's nothing but grasshoppers after autumn!" and other excuses, and then stood still.

At this time, in an army more than 100 miles away on the side of Wulin, Liu Bei, who was marching, and Sima Yi, who was helping to transport grain and grass in the rear camp, both had a cold war, and felt a chill in their backs!
Liu Bei glanced around inexplicably, and the biting cold was still lingering on his body.

But he didn't take it too seriously. Winter was coming soon. Even though Jingzhou was located in the south, the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly.

He thought he had caught a cold during the recent march!
So I just stretched my hand to the fire house in the camp to grill!

The two brothers next to him looked a little strange when they saw him.

The attentive Guan Yu quickly asked:
"Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhang Fei also stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took the warm cup, took a sip of hot water, and shook his head.

"Maybe it's because I've had some cold weather recently. It doesn't matter!"

These three brothers are now in a huge military camp.

After hearing that Cai Mao had defeated Zhou Yu, Liu Biao formally surrendered to Gongsun Lu, and then ordered Wang Wei, who had been stationed on the front line of Wancheng, to lead his army to surrender to Zhao Yun there.

He surrendered, and Liu Bei, who had been attached to him, naturally surrendered to Zhao Yun as well.

Later, Cai Mao was trapped in Wulin and asked for help from the north, so Zhao Yun led [-] Huobian camp, [-] Baima Yicong and [-] Beishan camp, together with [-] Jingzhou surrender troops under Wang Wei, rushed to Wulin to relieve the siege.

In order to save time, Zhao Yun led the Huobian camp cavalry to rush to the aid of Wulin first, and asked his apprentice Sun Li to lead [-] white horse Yi followers, as well as the commanders of the mountain-backing army, Zhou Tai and Gongsun Wu, to lead the infantry behind. ,
Looking at this posture, in addition to rescuing Cai Mao, the troops are also preparing to push back the Jiangdong army's front line to prepare for the pacification of Yangzhou in the future!

As for Liu Bei, Liu Biao recommended him to Zhao Yun to assist Wang Wei in commanding the remaining Jingzhou soldiers.

Zhao Yun also knew the abilities of this old friend, not to mention the abilities of the two brothers beside him. If he had not left the command of General Bogui back then, he might have become the right-hand man of his lord like himself now!
He was still willing to help this old friend who was down on his luck, and even planned to introduce Liu Bei to Gongsun Lu after this battle.

So he also simply agreed to let Liu Bei serve as the deputy general of the Jingzhou Army!

Liu Bei was also very happy for the support of Liu Biao and Zhao Yun, but he just didn't know why he always felt a little sour in his heart.

To be honest, he actually doesn't have any bad feelings towards Gongsun Lu. After all, they all knew each other back then and their relationship is quite familiar!

But if he really had to serve a former nephew, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

If nothing else, let's talk about Zhao Yun. In the past, the two of them served together under Gongsun Zan, but now they are already world-famous generals.

And myself!

I have wasted half my life, and now I am still dependent on others, and now I don't even have a small foothold.

It's like a class reunion in later generations. The old classmates of the past are either big bosses or successful scientists, but I am still alone in the remote countryside, stuck in the same place!
Liu Bei, who is now almost in his 40s, cannot help but fall into a mid-life crisis like men of the same age in later generations!
Although the ambition in his heart has not diminished, and he does not lack the energy to fight and fight, the world of Han Dynasty has become unified.

Anyone with eyes can see that the unification of the world is the general trend!

Now there is only a corner of Jiangdong left in the world, and the remnants of the Sun family are still stubbornly resisting.

There is still territory for him to fight for, but where can he go now?

Even when he was at his lowest, Liu Bei never gave up hope, but now, for the first time in his life, Liu Bei found that he was a little confused!
Rejecting the company of his two brothers, Liu Bei walked out of the military camp alone with his two swords.

Now the military camp is full of soldiers gathering together and making noise!
These Jingzhou soldiers have been marching intensively for more than three days. Although there is no shortage of food, drink and supplies, many Jingzhou soldiers are still a little sleepy.

For this reason, the infantry general Zhou Tai ordered to camp here and let the soldiers repair for one night before continuing to march to Wulin. Anyway, they were only more than 100 miles away from their destination and could arrive in a day or two!
Liu Bei frowned and walked through the Jingzhou Army's camp. These soldiers were considered the most elite soldiers in Jingzhou, otherwise they would not have been sent by Liu Biao to fight against Cao Cao!

It goes without saying that their combat prowess is great, but their military discipline is not very good.

There is nothing that can be done about it, as the so-called arrogant soldiers and powerful generals, coupled with the fact that Chu people have a tough and loose character.

After more than half a month of rapid march, I am now even more tired and scattered.

Although under the constraints of military regulations, they did not do anything extraordinary, but now they are not a queue. They gather together to brag, to fight, and even many people shout. Xiao Ming was playing a game of fighting.

Wang Wei's generals didn't stop him at all. The soldiers and horses had been fighting for days and were nervous. Isn't it okay to let these soldiers relax now?
It's just that the whole camp is now in a mess like a vegetable market, quite messy,

But when he walked to the other side of the military camp, the scene in front of him was refreshing and bright!
This is already where one of the Yan Army's soldiers and horses is stationed. Not only are the camps extremely tightly arranged, with one post for every five steps and one floor for every ten steps, but the only sound that can be heard here is that of the soldiers' neat drills. Despite the shouts, the soldiers inside did not gather indiscriminately, but were actually practicing and patrolling on the side very seriously!

Although the two camps are only a few dozen steps apart, they are like two worlds apart!
Such a huge contrast made Liu Bei sigh secretly.

"It is indeed a powerful army that can dominate the world. This military discipline alone is enough to spy on the enemy!"

Liu Bei was just about to take a few more steps to observe this army up close, but it might be unfamiliar to him. Before he could take a few steps, he was directly stopped by a team responsible for patrolling the camp. !

"Stop and tell me the command!"

He looked at the three or four spears pointing directly at him in front of him.

Liu Bei's claws are a little numb. He usually only works in the Jingzhou army. How can he know the password among the Yan army?

Just when Uncle Liu Huang was about to experience the most embarrassing moment in his life, a young general discovered him.

"But General Liu Xuande?"

Liu Bei was startled when he heard this, and found that the speaker was a very familiar Yingwu Colonel. At this moment, he was standing in the distance and looking at him.

"Are you Mi Zi Fang?"

When she heard the other party calling out her cousin's name, Mi Fang's face suddenly showed joy.

"It's really Mr. Xuande!"

He immediately came over and informed the leader of the team of the secret signal, thus relieving Liu Bei from the siege!

Accompanied by Mi Fang, Liu Bei was welcomed into the Yan Army's military stronghold. Taking a closer look, it opened his eyes even more. Originally, he thought that the military stronghold was only tight on the outside and loose on the inside, but he didn't expect that The outside is heavily guarded, and the inside is even more so.

After taking only a few steps, Liu Bei felt a dozen hidden gazes scanning his body!
"I didn't expect that I could meet my old friend today. Brother Zifang, you have changed a lot compared to before!"

"Yes, Mi Fang used to be frivolous and impetuous, but Xuande made a joke of it. If she hadn't rolled around in the army for a while, I'm afraid I would still be a short-sighted playboy!"

After listening to the words, Liu Bei nodded in agreement.

Indeed, compared with the former rich man who relied on his strength and was frivolous and frivolous, the Mi Fang in front of him was calm and measured, and his behavior was measured. If he didn't look familiar, he would have thought that he had recognized the wrong person!
