Chapter 936

It was not until the afternoon of the day after the retreat of the Han army that Zhang Fei received a letter from Xiangping to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei told Zhang Fei that Guan Yu had been defeated, and asked him to lead Gao Xian's troops to Xiangping to join them and defend Xiangping together.

Zhang Fei was shocked when he heard the news, and quickly summoned his soldiers to return to Xiangping to join Liu Bei.

At this moment, Li Mi was still directing the few hundred soldiers around him to load food in the warehouse.

Upon hearing the news, Li Bi hurriedly came to see Zhang Fei.

"General Zhang, what are you doing?" Seeing that Zhang Fei was ready to send troops to Xiangping, Li Bi hurriedly stopped him.

When Zhang Fei saw Li Bi coming, he quickly said: "Military officer, you came just in time. Go down and prepare quickly, and return to Xiangping with me. The second brother was defeated by Chen Qingzhi and Xue Rengui on the Liaohe River. The elder brother sent me a letter to go to Xiangping." Convergence."

Li Biping dissuaded him calmly: "I have no objection to returning to Xiangping, but I must first make proper preparations. Traveling lightly like you, you don't need food and supplies. These 10 people have entered Xiangping, and they will consume a lot of food every day." There is a lot of food and supplies, how long can those stored in Xiangping last?"

Zhang Fei said disapprovingly: "Military officer, you are really..., Xiangping City has several years of accumulation of our army, which is enough to support our army for a year or two. When winter comes, the Han army will definitely not be able to stand the severe cold and retreat."

Li Mi sneered again and again: "Hmph, you idiot, since last year, Liaodong has suffered from wars, and the people near Xiangping dare not go out of the city to work in agriculture. In the past year, the people of Xiangping have also eaten our army's food and grass. Now Xiangping City There are not many grains and grasses in the grain, I am afraid that the lord still expects you to bring grain and grass to supply, but you are lucky, and you also count on the grain and grass in Xiangping City to support you."

Zhang Fei was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "How could this be? There is not much food and grass in Xiangping City? It's just that the situation is critical. If I march with food and grass, I'm afraid the Han army will rush to Xiangping before our army. .”

Li Mi comforted, "Don't worry, Yide. There are now about [-] troops in Xiangping City. Even if the Han army arrives in Xiangping before our army, they will not dare to attack easily."

"If the Han army enters Xiangping ahead of our army, then our army will not be able to enter the city."

Li Mi smiled and said: "If you can't enter the city, you can't enter the city. Our army can set up camp under the city, and form a horn with the master's soldiers and horses in Xiangping City. This is safer than stationing in Xiangping."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei agreed to Li Mi's suggestion, and quickly sent people to continue loading and unloading the food and supplies.

However, the food and supplies in Gaoxian City are really too much, which is enough to feed 10 horses for half a year.And there are all kinds of weapons, 10 people and horses all come to carry them, and three or five people are more than enough to push a carriage.

They only marched for half a day, but they only traveled ten miles.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Fei couldn't help being furious: "According to this situation, I'm afraid it will take ten and a half months to reach Xiangping. I'm afraid that the Han army will attack Xiangping after being escorted by our army to bring food and supplies. Thousands of horses are transporting food and grass in the rear, and I will lead the main force to Xiangping to join my brother."

Li Mi frowned and said: "Don't worry, Yide, you can send scouts to investigate. If the Han army attacks Xiangping, you just lead the cavalry to attack them. Before our army arrives, the Han army will not dare to attack Xiangping easily. You If the troops are divided, the Han army will send cavalry to surprise our grain and grass brigade."

"If the Han army makes a surprise attack, I will come to rescue them, and leave 2 horses for the army division, and I, Zhang Fei, will go first." Zhang Fei learned that Liu Bei had fallen ill a month ago, and he wanted to rush to Xiangping to visit him.

Now that the Han army is besieging Xiangping, he is worried about Liu Bei's safety, so naturally he doesn't care about anything.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Fei rushed to Xiangping with 8 horses.

The remaining 2 people were immediately in a dilemma. With so much food and supplies, how could they escort them?
"Military division, what should I do?" Everyone looked at Li Bi and looked at each other.

"Hey, it's true that nature is hard to change." Li Mi shook his head and sighed as he looked at Zhang Fei's back.

"Now that the lord's fortune is imminent, even if we rush to Xiangping, I'm afraid it will be useless. You are all poor people, so distribute these grains and grass to the nearby people, and take the rest back home to live.

I am a Taoist in the mountains, but the lord was begging for help so I came out of the mountains to help. It is really invincible. I want to find Gongsun Taoist, and ask the immortals together, so I will say goodbye. "

After Li Mi finished speaking, he urged the horse to go north.

Li Bi was originally a hermit, but now that Liu Bei's defeat was imminent and Zhang Fei angered him, he didn't want to be buried with Liu Bei.

The remaining 2 horses saw that Li Mi had run away, and they didn't want to go to Xiangping to help Liu Bei, so they distributed the grain and grass to the nearby people, and the rest each took some and returned home, and didn't care about the war.

Zhang Fei went all the way north, and when he arrived at Xiangping, the Han army did not arrive.

First of all, from Liaohe to Xiangping, it is as far as Gaoxian to Xiangping, and Liu Bian's army has to rush to Liaohe first, and it will take at least five days to reach Xiangping.

Zhang Fei rushed to Xiangping and was relieved to see that the Han army hadn't arrived yet. He led the army into Liaohe to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is sick in bed at the moment. Guan Yu was defeated recently, and his old illness has relapsed, and his complexion is very bad.

Guan Yu looked sad and waited on the side.

"Brother, why did you forget, brother, I'm back." Zhang Fei hurried to Liu Bei's bedroom to visit.

"Third Brother, you're back!" Seeing Zhang Fei's return, Liu Bian's complexion suddenly became much rosier, and he sat up propped up.

"Brother, lie down." Zhang Fei quickly stepped forward to support Liu Bei. Although he was reckless, he was very considerate when facing Liu Bei.

"Where's the military advisor?" Liu Bei looked behind Zhang Fei, but Li Mi was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Fei rubbed his head and said, "I was worried about my brother's safety, so I led the main force back first, and the military division is still escorting food, grass, and luggage at the rear."

Liu Bei's face darkened, and he said, "How many soldiers and horses did you leave for the military division?"

"2 people?" Zhang Fei's face froze, and he stretched out two fingers.

"Nonsense, Gaoxian City has so much food and supplies, how can 2 horses move it? If the Han army arrives and gets the news that the army division led a few people to escort the food and grass, what should we do if we send troops to make a surprise attack? You quickly send people to respond." Liu Bei immediately felt distressed. scolded.

"Brother, don't be angry, I will go to meet you now." Zhang Fei got up quickly and walked outside.

At this time, a general came outside the door.

Zhang Fei looked over and saw the lieutenant general who was staying beside Li Mi, and quickly asked, "Why did you come back but what happened?"

The deputy general yelled: "The general is not good. After you left, the military master was so angry that he wandered away. The soldiers and horses distributed the food and grass around, and went home with the extra. I only brought my own soldiers." Take back a few carts of grain, general, hurry up and lead your troops to ask for it."
