Cao Thief

Chapter 791
Once upon a time, Liu Bei was high-spirited.

After getting acquainted with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he became even more involved in the world.Now, he is very old, over fifty years old, and his belly is even more fat.So much so that when Liu Bei straddled his horse, he had an extremely ridiculous premonition.

Maybe today, he will die here.

Chengdu Zuo's is a well-established tycoon.It is said that the Zuo family had already taken root in Chengdu when Gao Zu had not yet settled down in Hanzhong.Fast forward hundreds of years, although the Zuo family has declined, but its strength still exists.

After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Zuo Hou, the patriarch of the Zuo family, had always been cryptic.

That is, he did not explicitly support Liu Bei, nor did he express his opposition.Even after Liu Bei occupied Chengdu, Zuo Hou didn't have a clear attitude.Of course, there are many powerful families like Zuo Hou.Liu Bei didn't dare to be too tough, and his attitude towards the Zuo family was mostly wooing and soliciting.

Without him, the Zuo family holds Xichuan Salt Industry in their hands, and their strength is not weak.

Even if Xichuan's economy is in chaos, it has little impact on the Zuo family.Holding more than a dozen salt ponds in hand is enough to make him invincible.Since Liu Yan entered Sichuan, after 20 years of turmoil, Chengdu has always been majestic.

Liu Bei didn't dare to go too far with the Zuo family, so he could only use gentle means.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the Zuo family who made the move, ruining Liu Bei's plan.

Liu Bei got on his horse, and as soon as he rushed out of the government office, he saw Zhang Fei, covered in blood, galloping from a distance...

Thick blood was dripping from the Zhangba Snake Spear.

He was covered in armor, even more mottled and tattered, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Brother, hurry up."

"Yide, how's the situation?"

"The north gate has been lost... The Zuo family united with the six great powers in Chengdu, gathered more than [-] people, and colluded with the Cao bandits. The general of the Cao army, Zhang Yun, and Dianman Xu Yi have already occupied the north gate. Wu Yi is leading people to resist, but the army has no morale. It’s already in chaos, so I’m afraid it’s hard to support it for too long. Now the south gate is still in the hands of Lu Ji, brother, break out with me quickly.”

"Oh!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed.

But now he couldn't tolerate any more hesitation, and he didn't even care to bring his family, join Zhang Fei, and head towards the south gate of Chengdu.At this time, Chengdu was already in chaos, and routs could be seen everywhere... These routs had lost control, and the phenomenon of killing innocent people and looting property appeared.Block after block of houses, flames soared into the sky.How could Liu Bei care about these things? Together with Zhang Fei, he desperately broke through to the south of the city.

Along the way, there were countless casualties.

When they arrived at the south gate, the south gate was also in chaos.

Fortunately, Lu Ji was able to stabilize the situation at this time. After seeing Liu Bei, he shouted loudly: "My lord, Chengdu can no longer hold on. Old Yan Yan and his troops are approaching the south gate. If we don't break through, we may not be able to escape."

"Breakout, breakout!"

Liu Bei couldn't figure out where to go at this time, so he could only walk away in embarrassment based on instinct.

How could this Zuo family suddenly rebel?

Liu Bei thought he treated the Zuo family well, but he couldn't figure out why Zuo Hou was like this.

However, the reality could no longer allow him to think about it any longer. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Lu Ji rushed out of Chengdu in the dark.

The night is dark, and the hustle and bustle of Chengdu in the distance has been left behind.

Liu Bei reined in his horse suddenly, "Yide, where are we going?"

He was already confused at this moment, a little at a loss.

I thought winning Chengdu was a new beginning.Unexpectedly, this Chengdu has become the end of the end.

Yan Yan conquered Yueyi and made Nanzhong surrender.

It is impossible to return...Meng Huo and other 36 hole kings were almost wiped out.Although Nanzhong is rich, it has no soldiers to use.Going back to Nanzhong, if it is the same as dying, Liu Bei will definitely not go.

"In such a big world, is there no place for me?"

"Brother, don't be discouraged, let's go to Shu County to belong to the country."

"what?"

"Brother, have you forgotten that Shu County belongs to the country, and there are still some soldiers and horses. Let's go there first, and then make plans after we stabilize our position. At that time, I would like to lead three thousand soldiers to retake Chengdu for my brother and kill all the villains. .”

Is Shu County a vassal state?
It seems that there is only one place to go.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei nodded, regained his spirits, and hurried on the starry night with Zhang Fei and others.

The sky is bright.

Chengdu has disappeared.

Going forward, after crossing the river in front, is Jiangyuan.

After passing Jiangyuan, you can go straight to Linqiong, and you may not be able to take a breath.

Liu Bei's tense mood immediately relaxed.But this relaxation, but suddenly felt sad, and burst into tears.

Chengdu is gone!

Wife and children are gone...

Panic like a bereaved dog is really a true portrayal of him at this time.

The foundation laid down over the years, only Zhang Fei and Lu Ji are left at this time, how can he not feel sad?
At this moment, a rumbling war drum sounded suddenly.

"Yide, where to play the drum?"

Liu Bei quickly stopped his mourning, and raised his eyes to watch.

But seeing the bend in the river ahead, a group of people rushed out.He is the first general, wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown with hair, wearing a treasure armor of Tang Dynasty, and a lion jade belt around his waist.Dressed in a moon-white printed satin battle robe, with a liger and a tiger under his crotch, and a square sky painted halberd in his palm.

Behind that general, there are still two generals.

One is nearly ten feet tall, with big arms and round waists.

With a barbed thorn bone in his palm, red hair and eyes around him, it is Samoko.And the other is a young general with a black horse in his crotch and a golden dragon spear in his palm.Eight hundred flying camel soldiers lined up behind the three of them.

"Cao Peng!"

Liu Bei was taken aback, and quickly clenched the sword in his hand.

Cao Peng smiled slightly on the horse, and shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Xuande, Peng has been waiting for Mr. Xuande here for a long time."

For a moment, Liu Bei was in a daze.

The young man who cut down the banner of his camp gate with a single knife, has now become a demon who wants to take his life.

After years of hard work, it was almost destroyed by Cao Peng.

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward when Zhang Fei yelled, "Zishan, take the king away, and a certain family will fight for cover."

After all, he urged Cao Peng to get off his horse and rushed towards Cao Peng.

Cao Peng sat firmly on the horse without any fear.

Shamoke, on the other hand, walked like flying, dragged the barbed wire and thorns backwards, and rushed towards Zhang Fei.Seeing that he collided with the war horse, Shamoke suddenly roared and stepped into the air.With a gust of wind, the barbed wire thorns smashed towards Zhang Fei.Zhang Fei raised his snake spear to meet him on the horse, only to hear a loud bang, and Ma Xiyuyu screamed from under his crotch, and retreated again and again.As for Zhang Fei himself, his arms were numb...

This barbarian has great strength!

And Sha Moke was not much better. After his feet hit the ground, he stepped back a dozen steps and sat down on the ground.

When Zhang Fei saw it, he rushed forward without saying a word.

The young general behind Cao Peng rode his horse and twisted his gun to stop Zhang Fei.

This young general is none other than Sun Shao!

But seeing the golden gun in his hand flying up and down, turning into thousands of pear blossoms, the shadow of the gun is heavy.Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was not at all chaotic, and fought with Sun Shao with a snake spear.The two confronted for more than ten rounds, and Sun Shao gradually couldn't resist.

After all, Zhang Fei is experienced, and after the initial panic, he quickly stabilized his position.

At this time, Liu Bei and Lu Ji had broken out of the siege under the desperate protection of the Bai Yan soldiers.Cao Peng wanted to rush over several times, but was blocked by those brave white soldiers.Seeing that Liu Bei had fled far away, Cao Peng was furious.

"Shusha, Bowen, you two are chasing the big-eared thief, and the three generals will be entrusted to me."

While speaking, the liger roared, carrying Cao Peng on its back like lightning, and rushed towards Zhang Fei.Under the joint efforts of Sha Moke and Sun Shao, Zhang Fei is evenly matched.Now that Cao Peng came to kill him suddenly, it made him very upset.

Sha Moke and Sun Shao stepped back, and Cao Peng came to Zhang Fei.

The painting pole and halberd are hung with a strong wind, whistling.Zhang Fei raised his spear to meet him, but saw that the moment the painting pole halberd was attached to the snake spear, it suddenly trembled and wiped horizontally along the snake spear, almost cutting off Zhang Fei's arm.Zhang Fei was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, and he pulled his horse to dodge.I was secretly horrified in my heart: this Cao Peng is really a hero under the command of the Cao thief.

"Third general, you and I fought a battle ten years ago. At that time, someone used a trick to beat you once." Cao Peng's voice was cold and cold, reaching Zhang Fei's ears.Zhang Fei didn't open his mouth, he just nodded his head, wielding the snake spear, fighting desperately.Cao Peng sat on the liger, seemingly indifferent, with a halberd to the left and a halberd to the right, blocking Zhang Fei's stormy attack.

"At that time, I made an oath that one day, I would fight with you in a dignified manner.

But now I know that the so-called fairness does not exist at all.When I was young, the three generals were at their peak.But now, I am at the peak, but the three generals are already old.This reminds me of a saying: 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi!Under the current situation, do the three generals still have to resist? "

Zhang Fei knew what Cao Peng was talking about!
However, his naturally stubborn temper made it impossible for him to bow his head.

"Little thief, don't make noise, you and I will never die today."

While speaking, Zhang Fei's snake spear became more fierce.

And Cao Peng's face changed, and he shouted sharply: "And as the three generals wish."

The painting pole halberd changed from the previous slow and leisurely moves, and suddenly became violent and ruthless.Like a raging fire, it moves fiercely.Zhang Fei was able to resist at the beginning, but after more than 30 rounds, he was out of breath.

As Cao Peng said: He is old!

Seeing that Zhang Fei's reaction was not very sensitive, Cao Peng suddenly pulled a big sword from the horse's back with his backhand.A cold light flashed, and the two had already passed by.When Cao Peng reined in his horse and looked down at the knife edge, he saw a stream of blood slowly dripping down the ground along the knife edge.

Behind him, Zhang Fei planted twice on the horse, swayed twice, and plunged into the ground.

The iron armor on his body was broken, and blood flowed out from his chest, staining the ground red...

"There are talents from generation to generation in the country, each leading the coquettish for hundreds of years... Three generals, 20 years ago was the era when you galloped the world. 20 years later, this era has changed. Today you are shrouded in horse leather. It is better than in other years, when you were killed in your sleep. Cut off the head."

Cao Peng sighed quietly, waved his hand, and ordered people to gather up Zhang Fei's body.

"Keep chasing Liu Bei, Hugh let the big-eared thief go."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Under the protection of Lu Ji, Liu Bei left in a hurry.

The sound of shouting and killing gradually disappeared behind him, Liu Bei reined in his horse and looked back, tears streaming down his face.

"Yide, stop!"

Cao Peng is really frightening, to be able to calculate his escape route so accurately... If I knew this guy was so powerful, when I was in Xiapi, I tried my best to fight against Cao Cao, so I should have killed him first.It's a pity that there were too many worries at the time, so that raising tigers was a problem.Thinking about it now, Liu Bei can't help but regret it.

"My lord, just go through the forest ahead, there is a bridge.

Jiangyuan is just across the bridge, we should rush there as soon as possible to avoid further mistakes. "

Lu Ji saw that Liu Bei was a little lost, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Only then did Liu Bei come back to his senses, nodded, shook the reins, and was about to gallop the horse.But there was a burst of bells ringing in the forest.A group of people came out from the forest and blocked Liu Bei's way.Under the moonlight, Liu Bei recognized at a glance that the leading general was Zhao Yun, and his expression changed drastically.

"Zilong, do you want to kill me?"

Zhao Yun looked calm, but looked at Liu Bei with extremely complicated eyes.

"Mr. Xuande, please stay safe."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Zilong, when you surrendered to Cao Peng, I knew you had no choice but to do so. Today I have come to this point...rather than dying in the hands of Cao Peng, it would be better to be killed by you, so as to honor the friendship of the past. .”

How could Liu Bei not know what happened in Changbanpo?

Zhao Yun entered and exited seven times in Changbanpo, beheading countless Cao soldiers and generals.In the end, Cao Peng took his family and threatened Zhao Yun to surrender.Zhao Yun had no choice but to surrender to Cao Peng, and there has been no news since then.

Xiang Lang came back to Tiao and said that Zhao Yun rebelled.

Liu Beiming knew it was a lie, but he was helpless.

"How are you two ladies?"

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then said quietly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xuande, the two ladies are well.

The young master didn't embarrass them, but sent them to the Western Regions... Now the second uncle is doing business in Rile, and the eldest uncle is starting a new business in the Western Regions, and they are gradually improving.The eldest son, he... is very good and very happy.When I returned to the province with my wife two years ago, I visited the Western Regions.The eldest son has been renamed Mi Chan, very strong.But neither the wife nor the two uncles told him their identities.

The uncle said that they would never tell the eldest son the truth in this lifetime.

I only hope that he can be happy, grow up in the Western Regions, and take over his career in the future... he will not be allowed to return to the Central Plains. "

Hearing this, Liu Bei burst into tears.

This time, he really cried, but with some joy.

As soon as he bowed his hands on the horse, Liu Bei suddenly threw away the sword in his hand, "Zilong, take my head, go and claim the credit."

Zhao Yun stomped on the ground under his crotch.

The gentian gun in his palm was also tightly held in his hand...

He looked at Liu Bei, gritted his teeth, but still couldn't make up his mind.

After a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh, "My lord, this is the last time Yun calls your lord, you can go."

"what?"

Zhao Yundao: "Don't mention what happened back then.

I was originally a pawn, and I was valued by Duke Xuande, so I should have been devastated.But on Changban slope, the son treats Zilong more seriously.He committed crimes several times and should have died early, but the young master forgave them all.It is inhumane and unrighteous for me to kill Duke Xuande today, but it is disloyal to let him go.Please go, Mr. Xuande, Yunzi should be the son of the son to plead guilty. "

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun raised his big gun and ordered the soldiers to get out of the way.

Liu Bei was startled for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

He didn't bother to thank Zhao Yun, so he urged his horse to leave.

Lu Ji followed closely behind Liu Bei, and the moment he passed Zhao Yun, he secretly took a look at Zhao Yun.

To be honest, he was desperate just now, and he didn't want to escape from death.

What a fool!
If it were me, I would take his life...

Thinking of this, Lu Ji suddenly felt a murderous intent in his heart.

What if I kill Liu Bei?

But thinking about it again, when he abandoned Lu Bu, it was tantamount to forming a deep hatred with Cao Peng.You know, Cao Peng has a close relationship with the Lu family, and now the Lu family has gained a firm foothold overseas, established a country, and belonged to Cao Cao.

Even if he killed Liu Bei now, he was afraid that it would be in Cao Cao's hands, and he would not be able to do well.

I really regret that I missed it at the beginning...

Zhao Yun watched Liu Bei and others leave, and sighed faintly.

"From today onwards, Yun and Xuan Degong will cut off their friendship and justice.

If he charges on the battlefield in the future, Yun will never be merciful again... But, Mr. Xuande, do you still have a chance? "
