The other side of the high wall.

Fu Wei heard Li Yi's voice yelling at Zhuge Liang from inside the wall, and looked at Zhou Mo with a look of enlightenment: "I understand, it turns out you are the prime minister's man."

"No. I'm just a village chief." Zhou Mo denied in an understatement, and pointed to a few soldiers who were pulling bellows beside the earthen kiln, "You guys, stay and guard for the time being, and just delay them for a day or two."

, and then quickly retreat into the mountains and pay attention to your own safety."

"Yes." the soldiers replied.

Fu Wei said again: "Thank you so much for saving me today. If it hadn't been for you, I might have... died for my country."

"You're welcome." Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Let's go quickly. Your Majesty is probably still waiting for us in front."

"Good"

So Zhou Mo and Fu Wei took most of the soldiers and civilians to evacuate and followed Liu Bei along the mountain road.

Zhou Mo had walked this road many times and was very familiar with it. The group quickly caught up with Liu Bei.

Under the shade of a large area of ​​​​cool trees, Liu Bei was lying on his "ergonomic" bamboo chair to enjoy the coolness. He also held a cup of honey tea in his hand and sipped it in small sips.

By.

"Your Majesty!"

Fu Wei saw Liu Bei from a distance, rushed over, and knelt down in front of Liu Bei.

The monarch and his ministers have been sharing weal and woe for many days, and today the danger was finally turned into safety. Fu Wei couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

"Zhou Mo! Come on, come on, come to me!" Liu Bei only saw Zhou Mo from a distance and waved to him excitedly, but he regarded Fu Wei as an airhead.

Zhou Mo walked forward calmly and saluted Liu Bei with a smile on his face. Liu Bei said: "No ceremony."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Mo said, "Your Majesty, how does your Majesty taste the sweet tea prepared by me?"

"Excellent! Refreshing! I will teach the palace people how to prepare it later, and I will give it to all the civil servants and military generals to try it."

"As commanded."

"By the way, Zhou Mo. How old are you this year? Do you have a nickname?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Before he was drafted into the army this year, Mo was crowned, and my uncle gave me the name Si Qian."

"Oh, oh. Good words." Liu Bei said, "Your Majesty..."

"My father has been dead for many years, so my uncle took the name."

"Please have your condolences."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Who is your uncle? Where is his current official residence?"

"My uncle's surname is Zhou, taboo group, and he was once a Confucian scholar. Due to old age and illness, he has now become an official."

"So you are actually Bo Zhi's nephew? You and I are really destined to be kings and ministers." Liu Bei showed a hint of joy and said: "I remember when I moved to Hanzhong, I asked your uncle for advice before leaving. He replied, I deserve the right place, but I can't.

The people are the same. Later, the army went out to fight, and it was as promised."

"Big things have been promised by you all the time. It seems that you, the Langzhong Zhou family, really have unique abilities!"

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. Although the Zhou family in Langzhong is good at making predictions, the secrets are unpredictable and they often make miscalculations."

"Oh? What is it?"

"At that time, someone asked my grandfather that the "Spring and Autumn Prophecy" said that the person who succeeded the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao. What does this mean? My grandfather said, the person who should be Tu Gao was Wei. But now, His Majesty Ji established the Han Dynasty in Bashu, and sooner or later he will defeat the Cao thieves.

Return it to the old capital and enshrine it in the ancestral temple. This shows that my grandfather made a big mistake."

"Hahaha." Liu Bei was accurately flattered and laughed happily.

Suddenly, Liu Bei noticed that Fu Wei was still kneeling beside him. He put away his smile in embarrassment and said hurriedly: "Meng Chang, why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fu Wei rubbed his sore knees and stood up.

Liu Bei said to Zhou Mo: "Si Qian, do you still have this sweet tea? Give Meng Chang a cup to try too!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fu Wei said.

Zhou Mo spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, General Fu, we don't have it for now. Wait a moment and someone will send it over soon."

Before he finished speaking, he saw not far away, a team of more than a hundred people rushing over.

The leader is none other than Zhou Mo’s deputy, Lao Mu.

Another civil servant followed closely behind him, and it was Cheng Ji.

Everyone bowed. Liu Bei was very excited when he saw Cheng Ji and asked quickly: "Ji Ran, why are you here?"

With tears in his eyes, Cheng Ji said with emotion: "If it hadn't been for the clever plan of Commander Zhou, I would have been killed by Wu Gou right now. I never thought that I would see your Majesty again in this life!"

"Don't be impatient, just tell me in detail."

……

It is said that early that morning, before dawn, Cheng Ji retreated on the river in a large boat.

He has been on the river for several days, but he has been wandering along at an extremely slow speed, not in any hurry to return to Shu.

Because he wanted to fulfill his promise to Liu Bei and use himself as bait to seduce Wu Jun.

He has made up his mind to die.

He is not afraid of being overtaken by Wu Jun. On the contrary, he is waiting for Wu Jun.

Arriving near Guandu Port, we were finally pursued by a warship led by Sun Huan of the Wu army.

……

On the night when the Wu army conquered Zigui City, Sun Huan did not rest for a moment. He directly led hundreds of his most elite naval officers up the river to intercept Liu Bei.

There were many scattered fleeing boats of the Shu army along the road, and Sun Huan ordered his men to avoid them.

The two groups of sailors took turns rocking the oars at full power without stopping, planning to arrive at Guandu Port before dawn and force a landing.

The ship traveled all night, and when it was about to reach its destination, a soldier suddenly reported: "A large Shu army ship was found ahead, flying Liu Bei's flag, and it was sailing slowly."

Sun Huan did not hesitate to issue the order: "Crash into it! The soldiers are ready to board the ship and capture Liu Bei alive!"

The lieutenant general said: "General, be careful of fraud. Since Liu Bei is on the run, how can he hang out a flag in such a grand manner?"

"Don't be afraid. Hit it!"

"Yes!"

During the Battle of Yiling, Sun Huan was pinned down by Liu Bei and attacked Yidao for more than half a month. However, Lu Xun never came to rescue him. It was all thanks to the desperate resistance of his soldiers to prevent the city from falling.

When the fire broke out in Xiaoting, Sun Huan hurriedly led his troops to attack Liu Bei's camp, hoping to avenge him, but he found only an empty barracks, discarded equipment, and not a single person.

One can imagine his anger.

Now he finally had the opportunity to capture Liu Bei alive, how could he let it go?

"General, what do you see on the mountains to the left and right?"

At this moment, a crew member discovered something strange on the mountains on both sides of the river.

Sun Huan looked up and saw rows of fire moving quickly between the left and right mountains. They seemed to be groups of people holding torches.

After a while, the firelight became more and more numerous, jumping and flickering among the mountains and forests.

The deputy general said: "There are many people in the woods on the mountain, general, we are surrounded!"

Sun Huan said: "What are you afraid of? Even if you can't fight, is it not easy to run away? Let's wait and see what happens."

As a result, the Soochow warship slowed down, but with its inertia, it was already very close to the Shu army ship.

On the bow deck of the Shu ship, a middle-aged scribe was standing in the wind, brandishing a long sword. When he saw the Wu army warship approaching, he shouted: "The Han Emperor Liu Bei is here, Wu Gou is coming to fight to the death!"

Sun Huan was silent.

Such an obvious strategy to lure the enemy is simply to treat him as a fool.

When Liu Bei came to Soochow to marry his wife, although he was still a child, he still vaguely remembered Liu Bei's appearance.

Anyway, it is definitely not the person in front of me.

Cheng Ji shouted again: "Liu Bei is here, Wu Gou is coming to fight to the death!"

Still no one responded.

"Fight but not fight, retreat but not retreat, but why?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dull horn sounded from the mountains, and hundreds of rockets were fired towards the warship where Sun Huan was.

The mountain was high and windy, so it was not easy to shoot, but some of the arrows seemed to have been shot by powerful crossbows, and their aim was quite high. Although most of them fell into the water, one of the arrows was shot directly on the sail of the ship, igniting fire.

"Retreat, General. We are ambushed!"

"Alas!" Sun Huan saw the sail on fire and angrily tore off his helmet and threw it on the ground.

"Withdraw!"

The Wu army's warships evacuated very quickly, and within a short time they had disappeared into the mist.

On the other side of the Shu army's ship, Cheng Ji was already stunned. He gritted his teeth, pulled out his long sword, and prepared to die generously.

Who would have expected that Wu Jun would turn around and run away?
