Chapter 16 Military and civilians flee

In 208 AD, Liu Bei's army was attacked by Cao's army. According to the proposal of military advisor Zhuge Kongming, Liu's soldiers fled from Fancheng to Xiangyang.

Hundreds of thousands of people who followed Liu Bei because they were afraid of Cao's army have been following Liu Bei from Xinye, and Fancheng closely followed Liu Bei.

The people support the elderly and the young, drag men and women, take carts and walk, carry loads and carry them, crying all the way

The scene is very miserable!

Liu Ge looked at the crowd that was arranged in a heavy mood for dozens of miles, and said to Kong Ming beside him in a sad place: Military Advisor Kong Ming, what should I do? I feel very difficult. So many people rely on me and trust me, but I can't do anything.

Kong Ming comforted him: Lord, don’t blame yourself too much because the people are afraid of Cao Cao, so they are willing to work hard to tell you that you are deeply loved by the people. Although Cao Cao is in a high position, he is a person who cannot suppress his emotions. Once upon a time, the battle in Xuzhou was caused by the murder of Cao Cao’s father by Tao Qian, the subordinate of Xuzhou, which triggered Cao Cao’s revenge and launched an army to attack!

The murder of his father made Cao Cao lose his rationality. Not only did the soldiers in Xuzhou suffer, but even hundreds of thousands of ordinary people... women, children, and elderly people were not spared from being killed. I believe the lord knows these things, right? He treated his enemies as cold-blooded as a crazy beast, without any sympathy. In that bloody massacre, the people of Jingzhou had already appreciated Cao Cao's ruthless and vicious nature!

After Kong Ming finished speaking, his eyes ejaculated with anger, and his expression was very excited.

Liu Bei stared at Kong Ming in surprise and said in a low voice: I really didn't expect... Military advisor, you, would insult him by name!

When Kong Ming heard this, he said angrily: Because... because, I was also present at that time! Among the people in Xuzhou who escaped Cao Cao's killing, I was also among them!

Liu Bei looked at Kong Ming in surprise... Kong Ming said with deep emotion and grief: At that time, the scene made me still feel scared when I recall it, and I couldn't help but feel scared. It was simply hell on earth! The earth was full of dead bodies, piled up like firewood piles, and the river water was dyed bright red due to blood. Many people's screams, wails, and resentment still linger in my ears! I will never forget the cruel atrocities of Cao Cao who did not regard people as a person and massacre!

Liu Bei listened to Kong Ming's indignant words and said: Kong Ming! This young man who suffered from the suffering of war and was deeply saddened by the atrocities of the Cao army, will fight together for our grand goal of "save the people from the fire and water". 2 Huang Yueying beside Kong Ming thought of what Kong Ming said just now, and couldn't help but secretly say: Cao Cao wanted to unify the world for his own desire for power, not for the benefit of the people. Therefore, Kong Ming's husband refused to serve Cao Cao, but, like Cao's war, would it lead to the sacrifice and bleeding of the people. Can it be said that without sacrifice, a peaceful world cannot be built?

The long escape team was still bustling and constantly walking, and the people looked ahead with worry and blanket!

Among the runaway people, a young woman held a five- or six-year-old child in her right hand with her luggage. The child was handsome and very cute.

Suddenly, the child asked the young woman: Mom, are there many more enemy troops than Lord Xuande?

The young woman glared at her son angrily and said angrily: You... you child! Don’t talk nonsense!

The child pouted his mouth and said angrily: Mom, you said that you said yesterday! Am I wrong?

The people around him stared at the child with their eyes, and the young woman said angrily: Fool! Don’t you be allowed to talk nonsense like that anymore!

The child widened his eyes and asked in confusion: Why? If we were caught by those bad guys, wouldn’t we all beheaded?

The young woman yelled in anger: I told you not to say anything more! Besides, I will spank you!

Seeing that his mother was really angry, the child quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

Suddenly, an eight- or nine-year-old girl in front of them looked at her and her son, and said with a smile: Don't worry, it's okay! Because... because we have Brother Long here! He is very powerful, he will protect us...

Before the young woman could finish her words, she asked in surprise and anxiously: "Brother Long"? Are you talking about that Dragon Military Advisor?

The little girl nodded, waved her hands and said smugly: Zhao: It's him! He is so powerful! Last time, he defeated an enemy general named Xu Chu who was several times larger!

Next to him, there were two middle-aged men, one of the fatter ones, and said excitedly: Zhao! I have heard of this!

Before he finished speaking, the thinner man beside him said hurriedly: I have heard of this news too! I heard that the man named Xu Chu was the most powerful general of the Cao army: the Dragon Military Advisor actually knocked him down with one punch. He is truly the incarnation of the dragon!

A young man carrying a bag of rice on his shoulder heard this, rushed forward two steps, looked at the two of them, and said happily: Yes, with the son of Dragon, we can rest assured: Even if Cao Cao attacks himself, we can escape danger! Don't worry:

Suddenly, someone next to him continued: Humph! What's the use of just talking nonsense?

Everyone turned around and looked, and saw a strong man driving a double carriage coming from behind, full of heavy equipment.

The young man hurriedly glared at him angrily and said angrily: Hello! What's wrong with you? Are you dissatisfied with the Dragon Military Advisor? Brother!

Long Tianyang and Dongmei, not far behind his carriage, stared at the strong man driving the carriage, to see how he answered

The strong man glanced at the young man with contempt and said coldly: Cao's army is a million soldiers! But we have less than 5,000 people! Only one dragon son is here, can he deal with so many people? No matter how we escape, we cannot escape the fate of being killed!

Before he finished speaking, he saw the crowd talking, staring at the strong man in shock

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but exclaim: Ah! What? Hundreds...Millions of soldiers?

When Long Tianyang and the others heard this, they nodded heavily and thought to themselves: This strong man is not exaggerating. Now there are indeed many enemies and we are few. There is a huge gap in the military strength between the two sides. No wonder he said this.

Everyone was talking worriedly and walked forward. When they walked to a wet road on the ground, suddenly the car reel suddenly sank into the ground, more than one foot deep

The strong man hurried over and saw that the carriage had tilted, and the wheel was deep on one side

He pushed forward with all his strength. The carriage moved slightly for a few moments, but instead fell deeper.

The strong man said anxiously: It's over! I have to unload my luggage temporarily and then push the car in front! Damn it! Even this carriage can't get along with me!

The strong man was about to turn to the car and push it harder, and saw a young man wearing armor-piercing clothes placed his arms under the car board and shouted suddenly. The carriage had suddenly started from the pit. Then, as soon as he pressed the carriage, the carriage galloped forward for more than a foot: I don’t know who exclaimed: He...he is the son of the dragon!

When everyone heard this, they all gathered over and exclaimed: Wow! So... So amazing! They pushed up the carriage worth more than a thousand pounds in one hand. It was such a magical power!

Everyone stared at Long Tianyang enviously, and kept applauding

The strong man who drove the car was already shocked and shocked.

Long Tianyang turned his head and looked at him, and said deeply: Brother! Although what you said is correct at all! But despite this, you cannot be too pessimistic. You still have to think about living, otherwise you will be killed by their Cao Bing!

The strong man stammered and stared at Long Tianyang in shock.

The crowd immediately burst into praise: So... So awesome! The Dragon Son raised the carriage full of goods by himself. Also, when he pushed the cart, he pushed the strong mule-filled horse out of the cart several meters away...

This is how he defeated Xu Chu... This is not something that ordinary people like us can do! He is indeed the real son of a dragon!

Yes! As long as the Dragon Son is protected on our way, he will save us from Cao Jun’s murder: we will definitely escape!

Everyone was talking and admiring... Suddenly, an old man in his sixties walked out of the city. He slowly walked to Long Tianyang and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Dragon Son! With you here, we will be fine! Long Tianyang's heart was trembling and grief... He secretly said: These people don't understand anything... According to the future historical development, even if we arrive in Xiangyang, Cai Mao would not let Lord Xuande and our group enter the city. We still have to continue to escape... Then, we were finally caught up by Cao Cao's vanguard. Many soldiers and people were tragically killed. They didn't know about this history of corpses everywhere...

They didn't understand at all that a great tragedy was waiting for them. They just missed the power of the Dragon Son and felt relieved. They missed that as long as the Dragon Son was there, they could be avoided from Cao's army's poison... Suddenly, Dong Mei said enviously: Tianyang! After what happened just now, the people seemed to have loved you even deeper! To Ding, are you just using the technique of "Yun Body and Wind Body"? So powerful! You can pull up the heavy and deep carriage alone!

Long Tianyang shook his head and said in a low voice: However, it is useless to Cao Cao's army at all. It is impossible to rely solely on the "Yun Body and Feng Body" technique to save everyone! However, as the son of the dragon, I cannot express this concern!

Dongmei nodded and said softly: Tianyang, I can understand your feelings, and I can deeply understand your difficulties. However, in the face of these people who deeply respect and trust you, you should do your best! Ah! Xiangyang is coming soon, let’s hurry up!

After more than an hour of rushing, everyone finally arrived in front of Xiangyang City.

The soldiers cheered: Ah──It’s Xiangyang City! We have finally arrived!

Liu Bei, along with Kong Ming, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Long Tianyang, Dongmei and Zhao Yun, rushed in front of the team, and instantly came to the tall and majestic city gate.

The city gate is closed and there are no soldiers guarding it

Liu Bei raised his head and shouted: Liu Xuande, in order to escape Cao Cao's pursuit, he fled here with the people. Please open the city and let us enter!

Before he finished speaking, many people had emerged on the city tower, and a general was surrounded by stars like the moon.

Liu Bei looked at it and said softly: Cai Mao!

Cai Mao held the city wall with his hand and said sinisterly: Xuande, you traitor, are you calling out loud below! Get out of here! I will never open the door to welcome the thief!

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was furious and said: You...what were you saying? Brother, since that's the case, we will use force to attack the city! Catch Cai Mo's mistress and cut it into pieces!

Liu Bei looked at him sideways and stopped him: Slowly, Zhang Fei!

He raised his head and looked at Cai Mao, and thought for a moment, and said deeply: Cai Mao, if you think I am in trouble, I am willing to leave, but these other people are the people of Jingzhou. Can you please open the door and take them in!

Cai Mao heard this and sneered: Haha... Xuande, they are the ones who followed you, not the people of Jingzhou! If I shelter them, I will be punished by the Prime Minister!

Liu Bei looked at Cai Mao in shock. He never expected that Cai Mao would say such unreasonable words and human feelings, and said in surprise: You...what were you saying? Cai Mao! This is the people of Jingzhou...

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Cai Mao said fiercely: Don’t pay attention to them and drive them all away!

Said nothing, with a wave of his right hand, several archers immediately emerged on the city tower, each of whom pulled his bow and picked up arrows, aiming at everyone under the city.

Little...

Thousands of arrows were shot at the crowd like raindrops

Everyone was so scared that they screamed: Ah! Escape quickly!

The shouting was accompanied by the howling of bows and arrows, and the screams mixed with screams, which sounded like a lotus... Liu Bei used his sword to draw the arrows as dense as rain and locusts, while angrily staring at Cai Mao and others who were shooting arrows constantly.

Long Tianyang's eyes were wide open, and he was extremely angry with his sword to block the arrow that was shooting.

Suddenly, he heard a child shouting: Mom, mom... don't die!

Hearing the sound, he suddenly saw a young woman being hit by five or six arrows on her body, and she was dying.

The child cried and shook his mother, and the scene was very sad.

Seeing this, Long Tianyang was not feeling sad. He hurried over and blocked the arrow that shot towards the mother and son with his sword.

The young woman saw Long Tianyang standing beside her and said with difficulty: Lord Long Zhi Military Advisor! Please... take this child...

Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and remained silent

Long Tianyang hurriedly exclaimed: This sister-in-law, wake up...

But the young woman didn't move at all... Long Tianyang was extremely sad... The child lay on his mother, and Hu Tao cried endlessly

Suddenly, the trusted words and expressions of the people just now came into his mind and lingered in his ears.

The tragic sounds kept coming, and more and more people were lying down.

Cai Mao looked down at the soldiers and civilians who were suffering from casualties from below on the city tower. He couldn't help but smile and said viciously: Those who support Xuande should be killed! You kill me hard!

Long Tianyang stared at Cai Mao like a ghost, and couldn't help but feel angry. His eyes widened, and his horns were about to break and stared at the extremely proud Cai Mao. He casually grabbed the spear of a soldier beside him, and said hatefully: Only you... only your life is worthy of love, is it cherished? In order to curry favor with Cao Cao, do you even kill innocent people?

Suddenly, he shouted loudly: Cai Mao!

Before he finished speaking, he threw the spear in his hand towards Cai Mao like lightning!

Cai Mao suddenly heard someone shouting at him from the downstairs. When he was busy looking at him, he saw a long spear shooting at him like a rainbow, which was so scared that he was completely out of his mind!

There was no time to hide, and the spear had penetrated the right shoulder and nailed to the pillar behind him.

Cai Mao was in unbearable pain and shouted: Wow! Who should help me pull out the gun! It hurts so much!

The soldiers who came forward were about to draw their guns for him, but Long Tianyang held the spear in his hand and shouted: Don’t move! Cai Mao, please stop shooting the soldiers! Otherwise, I will aim at your head!

Seeing this, Huang Yueying exclaimed: Mr. Tianyang!

Long Tianyang's eyes ejaculated with hatred and said loudly: Cai Mao, to the end, it was because of your attempt to kill Lord Xuande that Feng Xiáng was captured by Sima Yi! The source of all this sin is caused by you. Therefore, I will kill you without any hesitation!

Cai Mao grinned in pain and said anxiously: Son of Dragon, this...that assassination of Lord Xuande was not my own...

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Feiji gritted his teeth and said angrily with wide eyes: Cai Mao, you are still cunning! It’s all because of you, the damn guy, that I can’t drink with the Dragon Girl anymore!

Guan Yu also continued: Moreover, Tian Yang almost died because of this!

Zhang Fei waved the snake spear and roared: Cai Mao, why don’t you tell them to retreat quickly! Otherwise, don’t blame our Qinglong sword and snake spear for piercing through your five internal organs! Send you to the West!

When Cai Mao heard this, he couldn't help but tremble in horror: Ah! It's Guan Yu... Zhang Fei and the others!

Suddenly, a general rushed out of the city, and saw that he was eight feet tall and had a heavy date. He led hundreds of soldiers to the city tower and shouted: Cai Mao, I can no longer bear it! You cruel and unkind guy! You who offered to Cao Cao, you who sell your country and seek honor are the real traitor!

With a chorus, the man pulled out his sword, glared at Cai Mao angrily, and roared: Cai Mao, if you dare to order an arrow to Duke Xuande again, I will never forgive you! Duke Xuande is a kind and destined person. Now he is here to save the people, why do you reject him? Moreover, he also kills the military and civilians!

Cai Mao looked at the man and roared: Wei Yan! Are you crazy? Idiot! How dare you yell at me like this!

When Zhang Fei, who was under the city, saw this man called Wei Yan, he happily said to Guan Yu: Second brother, it turns out that there is such a brave 'man' in Jingzhou City!

Suddenly, Kong Ming said to Liu Bei in a low voice: Lord, let’s leave here as soon as possible!

Liu Bei nodded and the military and civilians quickly left here.

The military and civilians helped the elderly and the young, and seized the road to the outside of the city

Seeing that Liu Bei and others took the opportunity to withdraw, Cai Mao was so angry that he roared like thunder: Ah, the cunning Liu Bei! Yes! It was all you damn Wei Yan, after you made such a fuss, Xuande and the others took the opportunity to escape! Come on, arrest this traitor for me!

When the soldiers surrounded Wei Yan like wolves and tigers

Suddenly, a sound of wind breaking through the air sounded, and with a strong wind, flew over from the city wall - a long spear, stabbing four soldiers holding spears in their hands and were about to stab Wei Yan.

The four soldiers screamed in pain, all of whom were stabbed in from the front of the chest and burst out from the back of the chest.

Wei Yan hurriedly looked downstairs in surprise and saw Zhang Fei wave at him and shouting loudly: Brother, run away now! If you are not dead, we will have a date later!

After hearing this, Wei Yan looked at the gradually distant Zhang Fei and shouted: Zhang Fei! I see, you have to be careful not to be slaughtered by Cao Cao! Otherwise, it will be in no time in the future!

Wei Yan glanced at the soldiers surrounding him, shouted angrily, swung his sword and slashed and stabbed, and killed everyone.

The powerful general - Wei Yan, after a fierce battle, finally broke out and escaped

Because Liu Bei was not found, he went to Changsha alone to join Han Yun, the prefect of Changsha.

Liu Bei led the military and civilians to run all the way. Liu Bei glanced at the exhausted and slow-moving crowd behind him, and asked Kong Ming beside him in a low voice: Military advisor, where should we take these people in the future?

When Kong Ming heard this, he pondered and said deeply: Lord, I think we will go to Jiangling! Jiangling is the number one key rush in Jingzhou, and the military and food are also rich... Just...

Seeing that Kong Ming wanted to speak but stopped, Liu Ge hurriedly asked: Military advisor, what is it?

Kongming paused and said heavily: It is impossible to move forward as expected by bringing hundreds of thousands of people like us! I am afraid that if we continue like this, we will only be caught by the Cao army and become their pocket... I know that this is a bit cruel, but we really have to separate from the people as soon as possible and go to Jiangling quickly, otherwise we will be caught by the Cao army in a short time!

When Liu Bei heard this, he said excitedly: I can't do this!

Kong Ming looked at Liu Bei with an excited expression and said anxiously: Lord! You...

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei was excited and said hoarsely: Military advisor, have you told me just now? You said you can't forget Cao Cao's atrocities in his life! If I abandon these people now and let them be killed by Cao's army, what is the difference between this and Cao Cao's atrocities in massacre of the people? Let me let go of the people and just run for my own life. I will never agree with this practice of being a foolish general who would die with the people in this troubled times, even if I am the only one!

Kong Ming was deeply shocked and moved by Liu Bei's sincere words!

The pain of war I experienced in my childhood

The sad scene is vivid in my mind

He thought to himself: In this chaotic era, those who died because of war were not always in power, but some civilians who were unable to resist!

Liu Gezhuan said firmly to him: Let's go, Military Advisor Kong Ming! I have decided that as long as I live for one day, the road will be endless!

When Kong Ming heard this, he looked happy and said to Yueying beside him with relief: Yueying! I can finally be convinced that the image of my ideal master when I was a teenager... The master who I am willing to do my whole life to assist is the kind-hearted and kind person in front of me - Liu Xuande!

Liu Bei, Kong Ming and others led the people to move forward slowly...
