Chapter 50 9. Go straight to Xiakou City!

On the embankment of Hanjinkou Wharf, Liu Bei hugged the only son Liu Chan who was rescued by Zhao Yun desperately. Liu Chan was lying in the swaddle and sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, as if he ignored all the disturbances and noises from the outside world. Unbelievably leisurely and comfortable. "Liang congratulates the lord, A Dou came back safe and sound among the tigers and wolves, it can be called 'auspicious people have their own appearance'!" Zhuge Liang arched his hands, his face full of joy. "Where is the Zhuge military master?" Liu Bei hugged Liu Chan tightly, tears in his eyes, and looked at the very eye-catching white figure in the front array, and murmured, "For this idiot, A Dou, I almost fell for it." Zilong's life, Bei Bei is really terrified..."

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, looked at Zhao Yun's figure from afar, and said leisurely: "My lord, you don't have to worry about this matter so much. If it wasn't for your lord's generosity and benevolence, how could you get Zilong and others to sacrifice their lives for righteousness? My lord, just continue Forge ahead, accumulate virtue and benevolence, such great national warriors as Zilong will come from all directions like fireflies chasing torches." "Thank you, Zhuge Junshi, for your advice." Liu Bei nodded deeply, and looked up, only to see Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry swarming from the west, like heavy dark clouds sweeping over, crowding out the troops he had set up on the flat ground under the embankment. Gradually flinched under the pressure, and couldn't help sighing, "Cao Mengde's iron cavalry is really fierce, so don't take it lightly——If Yun Chang and Qi'er's boat soldiers don't arrive, we will be in danger!"

Zhuge Liang slowly shook the goose feather fan in his hand, with a peaceful expression on his face: "My lord, don't worry, as long as Liang is still alive, I will never let the Cao thief hurt a single hair of your hair." Liu Bei glanced sideways at Zhuge Liang's calm, calm and peaceful style, and couldn't help but feel moved secretly. He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Being lucky to be able to laugh and talk with Mr. Wolong before the 100,000 soldiers are staring at you is also a great joy in your life! What joy! What joy is this!" When he was laughing, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others had already led thousands of elite soldiers on the flat ground in front of the embankment to fight the Cao Jun tiger and leopard cavalry who were rushing towards them.This vicious fight was really shocking and weeping ghosts and gods.Liu Jun's soldiers were knocked down in pieces by Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riders like straws; Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riders were also divided and slaughtered by Liu Jun's soldiers like struggling calves.However, no matter how bravely and tenaciously Liu Jun resisted, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry still came forward one foot at a time relying on the sharpness of their horses.

Although Liu Bei's face was still as solid as a stone and motionless, there were beads of sweat on his temples, and his hand that was holding the rein of the horse tightly almost broke the rein... Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and looked at the direction of the upper reaches of the Han River, as if he was always so unhurried and said: "Hey, the navy reinforcements of Yun Chang and Mr. Liu Qi should have arrived..." He was talking to himself when Liu Nuo looked at the river and blurted out, "Boat! Boat!" With the sound of his shouting, in the misty white mist on the river, the outline of a warship suddenly appeared and gradually became clearer.One, two, three, and suddenly the number increased to a hundred, as if rising straight from the bottom of the river.The flag fluttering on the warship's bow was clearly written with a big word "Guan"—as expected, the water army led by Guan Yu arrived at this critical moment.

"Military division—is Yun Chang's boat division arrived?" Liu Bei stared at the sail shadows, his voice hoarse with excitement. The happy look on Zhuge Liang's face was flashing and then disappearing, calmly waving the goose feather fan in his hand, and said slowly: "Yes, General Yun Chang has indeed arrived in time. My lord, you can have no worries from now on." Liu Bei turned his head and stared at him deeply: "Military Master, you are truly a brilliant and infallible genius! All the current events are as you expected! It is a great fortune to have you come out of the mountains to help you. !"

Zhuge Liang hastily and humbly thanked him, waved the goose feather fan in his hand, and ordered to the messengers standing aside: "You wait to send orders to General Zhang, General Zhao, and Little General Liu Feng, and let them gather everyone immediately. , with the cavalry arrayed at the rear, all the troops straighten out the order of priority and prepare to retreat and board the ship!" A flagship led by Jiang Shang threw its anchor and stopped firmly in the middle of the river.The main door of the cabin was wide open, and a burly red-faced man came up from the bow, holding a red rabbit horse in his left hand, and a Qinglong Yanyue knife in his right hand, with his beautiful beard fluttering in the wind, he was staring at the river embankment. Come - it is Liu Bei's number one fierce general Guan Yu.

Behind the fleet behind him, there are one after another warships sailing straight out through the heavy morning fog. The white sails on the top of the ships are fluttering, and the character "Liu" is written in seal script one by one-needless to say, It was the fleet sent by Liu Qi from Xiakou City to help. Cao Cao saw the boats on the river from a distance in the Tiger and Leopard Camp, and he already secretly felt that something was wrong. Now seeing Guan Yu standing on the bow of the boat, he immediately understood that Liu Bei's naval reinforcements had arrived.For a split second, a vague feeling of being cheated floated in his heart - he led the eight thousand tigers and leopards to hunt down all the way regardless of the cost, and in the end it seemed that he was being led by the nose and ran around. At the last moment, Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, was too coincidental to slip away.Wouldn't this result make him lose face?He hastily issued three killing orders in a row, asking Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and others to assemble all the elite tiger and leopard cavalry main forces to break through Liu Jun's defenses and capture Liu Bei directly in the shortest possible time.However, everything seems a bit too late.At this time, many warships on the river had already approached the bank and the embankment, and stretched out their planks one after another. on the ground.Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Mrs. Gan, Liu Nuo, Sun Qian and other shogunate officials boarded the ship in an orderly manner with teams of infantry.Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Liu Feng and others led 700 or 800 cavalrymen to block the approaching tiger and leopard cavalry while boarding the ship one after another.

By the time Cao Chun, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others fought their way up to the embankment of Hanjinkou River, those warships had already sailed three or four zhang away from the river bank.
