Chapter 272

"He didn't look like he was hurt."

In the shadow of Liu's shop, Xu You stared solemnly at Liu Bei dismounting and entering the mansion without hindrance.

"This, this may be a mistake."

Qu Yi said in a bit of embarrassment.

Seeing Qu Yi’s seldom admitting his mistakes, Xu You comforted him, “Brother Xuan Yi is a veteran in the battlefield, so it’s hard for you to assassinate such a trivial matter. He was not injured and he was lucky. There will be more opportunities in the future, so don’t worry about it.”

Liu Bei kept pacing in the study, and Zhang Wen's words today seemed to be a bit threatening. When he finishes recruiting soldiers, will he threaten himself to go to Beijing with soldiers?

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility. Once he entered Beijing, he couldn't get rid of it and was forced by the Emperor Ling to join forces with the ten permanent servants. Once he put on the eunuch hat, it was difficult to take it off.

Cao Cao killed Jian Shuo's uncle with a stick, severely punished the accomplices of the ten permanent servants, and worked with the ten permanent servants to assassinate Dong Zhuo desperately, and then pursued Dong Zhuo to the death, so he was gradually accepted by the gentry.

Cao Cao was only Cao Teng in his ancestors. Cao Jie was also an enlightened ten-time attendant who supported Emperor Huan and recommended Chenliu Yufang, Bian Shao, Nanyang Yangu, Zhang Wen, Hongnong Zhang Huan, Yingchuantang Xi, Zhao Dian, etc. are all famous scholars.

Even so, Cao Cao was still severely squeezed out by the gentry.

I can't follow Cao Cao's old path, otherwise, let alone Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, I'm afraid I will end up in a different place.

"Lord."

Xi Zhicai came in with an arrow shaft.

"Ok!"

Liu Bei nodded, his frown remained on.

Xi Zhicai handed the arrow shaft to Liu Bei and said, "Look, my lord, this arrow shaft comes from the Xiliang Army."

"Oh!"

Liu Bei was attracted by Xi Zhicai, the arrows of the Xiliang Army?
"The arrows used by the Xianbei cavalry who suddenly appeared in that wave came from the Xiliang army?"

Liu Bei looked at Xi Zhi and nodded, his face gradually became serious. In Guangyang City, the only ones who have Xiliang-style arrows are under Zhang Wen's command, but what did Zhang Wen kill him for?
No, there is also Qu Yi, Qu Yi himself was from the Xiliang Army, so it is not surprising that there are arrows in the Xiliang Army.

There was Qu Yi's surprise attack before, and Wang Yue's sword stabbing and company later, plus the abnormality of the Xianbei cavalry under the city today, Liu Bei always felt that there was a dark hand connecting all of these.

"My lord, be careful, this arrow is poisonous."

Xi Zhicai saw that Liu Bei was exerting more and more force.

"poisonous?"

Liu Bei was completely taken aback, and the arrow in his hand fell silently.

The bigger the official, the more he is afraid of death. Liu Bei really understands the true meaning of this sentence. He is already terribly afraid of death before he starts fighting for world hegemony.

"Who is going to kill me?"

It hasn't been long since Xi Zhicai has been in charge of intelligence, let alone in Guangyang City?Liu Bei didn't expect him to have an answer.

Xi Zhicai pondered for a while, and said, "Someone saw Xu You's figure."

"Xu You?"

Liu Bei was startled, this is not the later generation, everyone will know it by taking a photo of Xu You.

Xi Zhicai nodded: "Based on my intuition and the detailed description of what I witnessed, I am [-]% sure that the person is Xu You."

Probably enough, yes, if Xu You came with Zhang Wen, all this would make sense, Qu Yi and Wang Yue both killed themselves.

It seems that the party members do not want to go to Beijing!

Since this is the case, it is better to follow their wishes.

"Sir, spread the news that a certain poisoned arrow has attacked and is bedridden."

"My lord is wise."

As the party members wished, it was fine, but the revenge for assassinating him had to be avenged. Liu Bei and Xi Zhicai had been conspiring for a long time now.

The next day, Liu's shop invited famous doctors all over Guangyang, and most of Guangyang City knew that Liu Bei's poison arrow attack was in danger.

Zhang Wen and Geng Ji came to visit one after another, Liu Bei was already unconscious, and all the famous doctors were helpless, Xi Zhicai came forward and said that he would send Liu Bei back to Lucheng for treatment.

In the afternoon, Zhang Wen and Geng Ji personally sent Liu Bei out of the city, and Geng Ji specially dispatched hundreds of cavalry to see him off, but Xi Zhicai politely refused.

"Is he dead, or not?"

Among the Guangyang nobles who saw him off, Xu You was not conspicuous, but he was surrounded by famous Guangyang scholars, and one of them said: "I am afraid that he was really hit by a poisonous arrow."

Listening to his gloating tone, Xu You said firmly, "I see that he didn't get poisoned by the arrow."

"Why?"

Guangyang celebrity asked.

Xu You said gloomyly: "The golden cicada's plan to get rid of its shell."

"Then he is not afraid that we will divide up his military achievements?"

"It's not as important as life, what do you think? Qi Changshi."

Xu You looked at Qi Zhou with a smile.

Qi Zhou nodded: "That's right, Liu Ahu is very treacherous, I'm afraid this is really a plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell."

"That's right! To be on the safe side, it's better to kill him again."

There was a hint of insidiousness in Xu You's eyes, he was really worried if he didn't kill Liu Bei again.

Don't say that these military exploits are valuable, even if Liu Bei doesn't want a head?As long as he dedicates himself to Luoyang, Emperor Ling will change his position three times a day.

The party members can't stand the disaster of party imprisonment again, and of course they can't bear the Yellow Turban Rebellion again. For the party's politics, for the sake of the world's gentry, Liu Bei must be killed again.

"The opportunity will never come again. If Liu Bei is not dead, I am afraid that you will have to bear the guilt of this defeat. Only the dead will argue about who wins and who loses?"

Xu You said calmly.

However, Qi Zhou's expression changed drastically. Qi Zhou was the one who was mainly responsible for this war. Was he a hero or a criminal?
Qi Zhou seemed to have no choice, but in fact the Guangyang gentry had no choice either.

"Kill, I have to kill Liu Bei again, if it doesn't work, I will flatten Luchengwu."

A Guangyang gentry roared.

"Humph!"

Although this Guangyang gentry was not ashamed, the reality turned out to be like this. If Liu Bei didn't die, they would have to bear the blame for the defeat.

On the north bank of Shengshui, Liu Bei was lying on a special carriage, and he was a little shaken when he walked all the way without seeing any pursuers. Could it be that he and Xi Zhi really thought too much.

The boats on the shore had stopped, and the troops had loaded the horses onto the boats. Liu Bei heard a slight vibration when they were boarding the boats one after another.

A figure of a scout appeared on the shore, his body was lying on the horse, and it was not until he ran to the shore that everyone saw that he was dead and could not die again.

"coming."

Liu Bei and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, and sure enough they came anyway.

"Meet the enemy!"

Yu Jin let out a loud cry, and the soldiers who hadn't boarded the ship immediately formed a semicircular defensive formation, with swords and shields in front, spears behind, and archers behind.

"Protect the lord on board."

Xi Zhicai gave a loud cry, and Bai Lutun quickly carried Liu Bei onto the boat.

The sound of heavy horseshoes came, and an arrow formation galloped from the shore.

"Block it."

Yu Jin yelled, he didn't expect that the gods would make a move as soon as they came up. Although it was only the power of the gods, the accuracy of the archers was far from the standard.

The opponent threw arrows in a burst, there was a lot of clanging sounds, and there were a few screams. The first round of arrows shot someone, and the opponent was indeed an elite.

"Hold the sword and shield with your hands."

Yu Jin huddled under the shield and shouted loudly, the galloping cavalry hit the shield, immediately knocked several people into the air, and the shield array was knocked away instantly.

The thin spearmen in the back couldn't stop the cavalry from charging, as for the archers, they could only be slaughtered.
