"Big brother! I'll leave first! Let's retreat to the next pass!"
They had been ambushed without any warning. Just as Zhang Fei's vanguard unit was halfway through the pass, a rain of arrows suddenly fell from the sky, instantly killing hundreds of soldiers.
Then, countless boulders rolled down from the mountains, wrapped in kerosene vines and grass. They suddenly burned and blocked the road ahead and behind.
This made the front troops in a dilemma.
If he wanted to rush out now, he didn't know how many ambushes were waiting ahead. If he retreated, he would probably suffer countless losses.
Thus, the army panicked.
These soldiers had followed Liu Bei and his brothers for many years, and most of them were veterans with more than three years of military experience. There were also some new recruits who had just been recruited along the way.
After a thousand people were killed or injured, they were all scattered by the Snow Dragon Cavalry. The leader was extremely brave and extraordinary, killing several of Liu Bei's veterans.
This made Liu Bei envious.
"Such a valiant general, yet he can't be used by me. Could it be that I, Liu Bei, didn't do a good job?”
"My Lord, I'll leave first. I can't stay any longer!”
Beside Liu Bei, a scholar pulled on his reins, preventing Liu Bei from moving forward. This scholar had an arrogant expression on his face, and even in this situation, he looked lazy.
He narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. He could only sigh.
This person was called Jian Yong.
He had followed Liu Bei for many years, ever since he came from Ji County. He had been Liu Bei's advisor from the beginning to the end, and was now ranked fifty-third on the Advisor Board.
Because of this, Jian Yong, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu had been together for many years. At least they would listen to what they said. When Xu Zhen was still around, he would not listen to a word they said.
He was even mocking her.
Finally, the last place was revealed. Zhang Fei sat up in shock and quickly sent him away.
He even pushed the blame of many failed attempts on Xu Zhen.
"Zijing, do you think that I…suffered because I watched Yi De chase Bo Wen away? I didn't get any benefits from Big Brother Bo Gui, and now I'm in Xu Prefecture. I thought I could help the loyal officials of Great Han seek justice, but in the end, I was ambushed!”
"Looks like we're going to lose more than half!”
" My lord, Bo Wen is a mediocre person. He is only at the bottom of the ranking. We can't afford to lose…"
Those who had a large family and business could support this family, but now that the family was in such a precarious situation, it was impossible.
"Don't think about it. If you go, you go. Xu Zhen is a useless person.”
Liu Bei smiled and nodded at Jian Yong." That's right. I have Zi Jing with me. He is better than ten Xu Zhens. This person has harmed me a lot. Back then, I was in danger a few times because of his poor strategy.”
" Mm, not bad." Jian Yong nodded bitterly.
However, he knew very well that it was not the case.
It was because General Guan and General Zhang didn't listen to orders, Zhang Fei was drinking in front of the battle, and Guan Yu was too arrogant and didn't believe in the bandits that Gaotang was occupied by the bandits and finally seized a county city.
He let Liu Bei and his brothers escape with a hundred cavalry.
"Second Brother, Third Brother!"
At this moment, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu charged out from the fire, but there were not many troops following them. There were only a few hundred cavalry. The rest of the soldiers and infantry were still surrounded by the fire and soldiers.
"Big brother!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both covered in dust. Zhang Fei's shoulder was pierced by a spear, leaving a bloody hole.
"That thief general is so powerful, his spear technique is amazing!”
"Third brother, the black-faced general I encountered was even more ferocious than you. I almost fell for it!”
Guan Yu's beard was cut off a little, and his heart ached.
In an instant, the two of them gathered in front of Liu Bei. They had rushed over in a panic, and after exchanging a few words, they could not help but feel frightened.
"Hurry up and run. Don't drag it out!"
Liu Bei patted the back of his horse and turned his horse around, leading the army away from the pass. The pursuers did not chase after him.
They hurried all the way to the river, and counting again, there were less than eight hundred riders following them.
The infantrymen were gone.
These 800 people were the core followers of Liu Bei, the local soldiers who had followed him from Gaotang for many years.
There were even dozens of people who were brought out from Ji County.
At this moment, Liu Bei was completely disheartened.
His face turned green.
"How could this be…"
Liu Bei squatted down by the river and washed his face. After waking up for a moment, his heart still ached.
Although it was only late autumn, it felt like winter had already arrived. It was like drinking snow water in winter. Even his heart felt cold.
"Yi De, Yun Chang, do you know whose army they are? Which general's subordinate?"
"I don't know, big brother. I only know that the flag has the word Xu.”
"The soldiers and horses are all wearing snow-white armor and riding snow-white cavalry. They are probably similar to General Gongsun's white horse.”
"Wait, what did you say? The flag is Xu?"
" It's Xu?!"
"None of Cao Cao's generals or Xu generals have the surname Xu!!!”Liu Bei suddenly became excited, and an indescribable sadness rose from the bottom of his heart.
No, impossible, absolutely impossible!
"What? Big Brother, you don't think it's that Xu Zhen, right?”
Zhang Fei panted, but he still said contemptuously,"Haha, just based on the fact that that general was able to stab a hole in my arm, it's absolutely impossible for him to be Xu Zhen's subordinate!”
"If it really is him, then wouldn't the fifty yuan I gave you back then be a slap to your face? Impossible, impossible! How could a mere last place be him!”
Liu Bei felt bitter.
"Third brother, don't say anymore…"
I don't know why, but the more you say it, the more likely it is…
Often, things did not go according to one's wishes!
Xu, Xu's banner…
Was there a famous general surnamed Xu in the world?
Was it really not him?
