Chapter 40 Gu An's Assassination
Zou's ability to handle affairs is indeed very strong. The corpses outside the Wubao have been gathered together and burned under the supervision of the Liu clan (in fact, they were taken into the farm to make fertilizer), and the inside of the Wubao is ready. Thousands of people had meals, and the Zou family's ancestral house was a scene of joy in red and colorful decorations.

Although he took concubines himself, Liu Bei asked Liu Ling to lead the Liu clan to keep vigilant, not only to prevent the Yellow Turban rioters from coming again, but also to prevent the Zou family from doing bad things.

Everything is kept simple but a matchmaker is indispensable. Liu Yan offered to protect the matchmaker. The purpose of Liu Yan's stay in Zhuocheng must be to wait for a turnaround. No wonder Zou's attitude has taken a 360-degree turn.

A wedding banquet was insipid, and both the host and the guest were perfunctory. Liu Bei got drunk and entered the bridal chamber. On the marriage bed, she looks like a shy little daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Liu Bei hadn't come over for a long time, Zou Cuier looked up and saw Liu Bei's befuddled appearance, and asked shyly, "My husband, what are you looking at?"

Liu Bei walked up to Zou Cui'er, held her hand and said, "Of course I appreciate Cui'er..."

Liu Bei looked at Zou Cui'er's chapped hands and was so distressed that he couldn't speak. Damn Zou, said guiltily: "Tui'er, I'm sorry, my husband couldn't vent your anger for you, but don't worry, my husband will vent this anger for you sooner or later. "

"Husband, don't be upset. I don't hate the Zou family but thank them. After all, I was raised by the Zou family. This period of time can be regarded as repaying their kindness! From now on, the slave will only belong to the husband."

Zou Cuier's words aroused Liu Bei's guilt, and he hugged her tightly in his arms.

On the second day, Liu Bei asked Liu He, who had sent [-] bamboo arrows, to escort thousands of shi of corn and the women and children left behind by the Yellow Turban rioters back to Liu's Wubao.

Zou Cui'er was also sent back to Liu's Wubao. Zou's exchanged thousands of stones of corn for three hundred mulberry bows, five hundred bamboo spears, and ten thousand bamboo arrows. Zou's purchase of these bamboo weapons was twice as much as Jane's. This made Jian Yong feel much more at ease.

In order to show his sincerity, Zou sent [-] archers and [-] spearmen to Zou Qiao and Zhang Fei to follow Liu Bei to sweep up the surrounding Yellow Turban rioters.

"Duke Ming, is it worth it for us to place such a big bet on Liu Xuande?"

Seeing Liu Yan looking at Liu Bei's disappearing figure, Zou Ren reluctantly asked.

Liu Yanfu sighed: "Is there a better choice?"

Zou Ren was speechless, Liu Yan thought: If I knew this Liu Xuande was so good at hiding his clumsiness, I shouldn't have fallen out with him because of the corpses of hundreds of Xianbei slaves.However, there is chaos in peace, and I still have a chance to take it under my command.

Liu Bei collected all 25 horses and handed them over to Zhang Fei, and asked him to go to Gu'an County to inquire about the news first, and gathered [-] archers (Zhang clan members brought by Zhang Fei) together for use. Of the five hundred youths, Jian Yong led three hundred spearmen from the Jian family, Zou Qiao led three hundred spearmen from the Zou family, Zhang Datong led three hundred spearmen from the Zhang family, and Pang Xi from Henan, recommended by Liu Yan, led hundreds of yellow turban youths who were surrendered. strong.

In the blink of an eye, there were more than [-] people under his command, and Liu Bei headed towards Gu'an County in high spirits for a while.

When Liu Bei led his army to Hanshiwu Fort, there were corpses of women and children outside the fort wall, and occasionally a few young and strong corpses could be seen. Zhang Fei led people out from the gate of the fort: "This fort has been massacred by the Yellow Turban rioters." gone."

"Slaughtered!"

Corpses with missing arms and short legs were carried out from the castle, occasionally mixed with half-naked female corpses and headless corpses, most of these were cleanly dressed people who must have been wealthy households in Han's Wubao.

Nearly a thousand corpses were burnt to the ground. The members of the Liu clan set up pots to cook. The corn grown on the farm was far better than the corn grown on the ground. In order to keep this secret, the members of the Liu clan had to work hard. The vigilance was handed over to Liu Ling and Zhang Fei. Jian Yong and Zou Qiao discussed and dealt with the matter.

"Han's Wubao has been broken, should we go back to Zhuo County?"

At dusk, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Zou Qiao and others got together to discuss the next step. Zou Qiao took the lead in saying that after all, half of the young and strong family members were sent out to rescue the Han family. Surrounded by the shadows of Taiping rebels, they will have fun when someone accidentally raided their lair?
Jian Yong sneered: "Since Bo Qi is afraid of losing his lair, why bother to come out?"

"Who said so-and-so! So-and-so is just..."

Without waiting for Zou Qiao's explanation, Jian Yong said again: "Just what, I'm afraid that these boys brought out will never go back?"

Zou Qiao was so choked by Jian Yong, he raised his eyes and saw Liu Bei drinking porridge with sullen head, knowing that he supported Jian Yong, he was so depressed that he couldn't speak.

Zhang Fei didn't want the relationship between his Yue's family and Liu Bei to become tense again just after a slight easing, and persuaded him: "Xianhewu should be suspicious, Boqi didn't mean that, he just acted too cautiously."

Jian Yong raised his eyes, and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, I didn't see the corpses of Han Feng and his family, they must have retreated before the Wubao was broken, and they must have retreated into Gu'an City by now. I must have chased all the way to Gu'an City. Although Gu'an City is not as tall as Zhuocheng, the Taiping rioters have no means of attacking the city. We are already running out of food, and tomorrow we will be able to break through the chaos and the people of Taiping by hitting directly behind them by surprise."

"it is good!"

When Zhang Fei heard that he could fight the Taiping rioters, he immediately agreed.

The four coalition forces and the three families have agreed, but Zou Qiao eats the porridge with a dull head. Although the red dates and corn porridge can make people body and marrow cleansed, it doesn't make people have nothing to do.Liu Bei also didn't want to completely push Zou out of the game, after all, he paid out four hundred cannon fodder?He comforted him: "Bo Qixiu is going to be angry, Xianhe is a hero! Although he is arrogant, he thinks that Zhuocheng will be truly safe only if we wipe out the peaceful and chaotic people around Zhuocheng."

Haoshi, a heroic man, means an arrogant and rebellious person.

Seeing that Liu Bei had spoken in person, Zou Qiao didn't dare to take power, so he hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, there is no need to explain, my father has ordered before leaving: Everything is under the command of brother-in-law, and you can fight wherever you point out!"

Several people discussed the details in detail, and suddenly there was a loud roar from outside: "There are enemies coming in."

"There are enemies coming in!"

Liu Bei and the others hurriedly put down the bowls in their hands and ran out. The ancestral house of the Han family was in chaos. Some ran out with pistols in their mouths, and some came out with bowls in their hands and shouted: "Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy?" ?”

"Peace thief, take your life!"

Liu Bei stood in the courtyard and stopped a young man who was running around and shouted: "What's the mess? Go and organize the team."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a yell from behind, and a gust of evil wind appeared behind his head. Liu Bei didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly came to a donkey, rolled forward and rushed out.

"Dare thieves!"

Seeing that someone dared to assassinate Liu Bei, Zhang Fei let out a loud shout, and Zhang Fei's angry shout echoed throughout the Han family's ancestral house. The assassin's body froze in the air, and Zhang Fei punched the assassin with all his strength. The assassin's body was like a cannonball. Hit the courtyard wall.

There was a loud crash, and a human figure was knocked out of the courtyard wall. Zhang Fei walked to the courtyard wall a few steps and grabbed the assassin out.
