Just as Wei Chu reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage, he saw Zhou Cang riding up with a panic expression on his face.

"Brother, the army is here, about 500 people."

Zhou Cang stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead and asked with a hint of trembling: "Brother, what should we do now? Fight or run away."

Wei Chu jumped off the carriage and waved his hand towards Zhou Cang to signal Zhou Cang not to panic. Then Wei Chu asked in a low voice, "Have you ever fought against the army?"

"no!"

Zhou Cang shook his head heavily.

"After we saw the officers and soldiers from a distance, we turned around and ran away. The officers and soldiers are now following us, and they are not far from here."

Wei Chu's mind was running rapidly, and after a moment, Wei Chu took out twenty sets of divine arm crossbows and a thousand crossbow arrows and said: "Let the brothers hide the weapons in their hands, and each person will be given a set of crossbows and fifty crossbow arrows. "

"Crossbow arrows?"

Zhou Cang's eyes widened immediately.

The status of crossbows in ancient times was not much worse than shields and heavy armor.

Even if Zhou Cang thought about it with his buttocks, he would never have imagined that Wei Chu would be able to take out the crossbow with a flip of his wrist.

And judging from the quality, these crossbows are not bad.

"Brother, although crossbows are very good, we don't know how to use them yet."

Wei Chu waved his hand to Zhou Cang, "I am giving these crossbows to you, not for you to use for a while, but for you to show off for a while. Also tell the brothers that everyone will gather near the carriage in a while, and no one is allowed to do it without my order. Move your hands, but don't talk."

Five hundred officers and soldiers were not far away.

At this time, Wei Chu and others, whether fighting or escaping, would die at the hands of the officers and soldiers.

For the current plan, we can only use fake power to scare off the officers and soldiers.

Wei Chu and others have already put on Mingguang armor.

After being equipped with crossbows, they only need to hide the original broken knives and bent spears. When the officers and soldiers see Wei Chu and others, they will never take Wei Chu and others with their equipment and dress. Associated with the Yellow Turban Army.

Although Zhou Cang and others were frightened, they still followed Wei Chu's instructions, held their crossbows, and all rode horses to gather near the carriage.

Just when everyone was feeling the most anxious, there was a sudden burst of chaotic horse hooves in the forest.

After a while, cavalry came out of the forest on horseback.

Upon seeing this, Wei Chu walked to the front of his team openly.

After seeing clearly the approaching officers and soldiers, Wei Chu couldn't help but frown slightly.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers, led by three generals.

Among these three generals, one of them has his hands above his knees, has big earlobes, and has a double sword on his waist.

The other person has a beautiful beard two feet tall and a face as thick as a jujube. He holds a Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand.

The last person has a leopard head with eyes and a long snake spear in his hand.

The characteristics of these three people are too obvious.

Wei Chu was sure that the three of them were Liu Guanzhang.

As Wei Chu had guessed, the three generals were indeed Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers.

The five hundred cavalry are all the trump cards in the hands of Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers, and they are also their biggest support.

Not long ago, when the army was about to arrive in Xiaquyang, Liu Bei spent a lot of effort and finally got a task from Huangfu Song to lead the army alone.

Huangfu Song ordered Liu Bei to lead his cavalry to take a small road, bypass Xiaquyang City, and raid the granary arranged by the Yellow Turban Army in Jinyang City.

After receiving the mission, Liu Bei was full of confidence and wanted to make great achievements.

Unexpectedly, it was a bad start.

Not long after Liu Bei and others entered the mountain trail, the guide responsible for leading the way was accidentally killed by Zhang Fei because he contradicted him.

Without their guide, Liu Bei and others wandered around the mountains and forests for a few more days. Now they had completely lost their direction.

But okay.

Today, Liu Bei and others finally met a group of living people.

Liu Bei raised his head towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei understood and rode out on his war horse.

Seeing Wei Chu, Zhang Fei directly raised the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Who are you? Are you a yellow turban bandit or an ordinary bandit?"

Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder, making Zhou Cang and others who were already nervous become even more nervous.

Everyone couldn't help but squeeze the divine arm crossbow in their hands.

"Who is your general?"

Not only did Wei Chu not answer Zhang Fei's question, but he raised his head and asked Zhang Fei loudly.

"You guys, it's obvious that I'm asking you questions?"

"Hmph, how can a mere young general have the right to talk to me?"

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Liu Bei's brows froze slightly.

He took a closer look at the armors of Wei Chu and others, and saw that their armors were emitting a charming light.

Liu Bei suddenly felt that the origins of Wei Chu and others were a bit extraordinary.

At exactly this time, Guan Yu's voice sounded in Liu Bei's ears.

"Brother, these people's armors and crossbows are very sophisticated, and the styles have never been seen before. Although their horses and carriages look a bit ordinary, it must be that after a long journey, the horses are tired and the carriages are old."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and rode out with the crowd.

"My Excellency, Liu Bei, whose courtesy name is Xuande, is the Queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan. I don't know what your surname is!"

"My surname is Wei, and my courtesy name is Risheng. I am from Hedong."

"Hedong Wei family?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The Hedong Wei family was the top wealthy family in the Han Dynasty and was quite prestigious among the scholars in both the government and the public.

Even Huangfu Song has to give the Wei family a bit of a thumbs-down.

After coughing lightly and briefly adjusting his armor, Liu Bei then asked Wei Chu: "I wonder what General Wei's mission is during this trip?"

"Protect my wife to return to Hedong."

"Who is your wife?"

"All you need to know is that my wife's surname is Liu?"

"Your surname is Liu? Are you from the royal family?"

Liu Bei stared at the carriage and then asked, "I wonder if I can meet your lady."

Before Liu Bei could finish his words, Wei Chu shouted angrily at Liu Bei: "My wife's status is so noble, how can she show her face in the wilderness? By making such a request, are you looking down on our Hedong Wei family?"

"General Wei, don't get me wrong!"

Liu Bei did not dare to offend the Hedong Wei family and quickly apologized.

"I just want..."

This time, before Liu Bei could finish his words, Wei Chu waved his hand at Liu Bei.

"It doesn't matter what you think. What matters is when you plan to leave. This valley is so quiet. We have come all the way. Madam is a little tired and is going to rest here for a day."

"I don't want to disturb my wife because of your recklessness."

Wei Chu's words were obviously not very polite.

When Zhang Fei heard the sound, he frowned and prepared to ride out.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei quickly stretched out his hand to block Zhang Fei.

"I apologize for causing you so much trouble."

Liu Bei hugged Wei Chu's fists.

The attitude seems very sincere.

When Wei Chu saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Liu Bei, just like Kiba, is really a flexible and flexible person.

When Wei Chu nodded slightly, Liu Bei then continued: "General Wei, I have one more thing to ask."

"You said."

"I would like to ask, General Wei, is he familiar with this area?"

"Does it matter to you?"

"To be fair to General Wei, the reason why the three of us brothers showed up here with our troops was to follow General Huangfu Song's order to raid the Jinyang City occupied by the Yellow Turban Army through a trail and destroy the Yellow Turban Army's granary."

Liu Bei glanced at Wei Chu, and then said: "Not long after we set off, the guide had an accident. The vegetation in the mountains and forests was dense. Unfortunately, we got lost and came here. If General Wei is familiar with this area, I hope General Wei can Give me some pointers."

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Wei Chu couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

But on the surface, Wei Chu still said seriously: "I am leading a team through this mountain forest, so naturally I am very familiar with this mountain forest. I know where Jinyang City is, but why should I help you."

Zhang Fei had long been unhappy with Wei Chu.

Hearing Wei Chu's words at this time, Zhang Fei couldn't hold back his anger and became furious instantly.

"you this……"

"Third brother, shut up!"

Guan Yu scolded Zhang Fei in time.

After Zhang Fei closed his mouth, Guan Yu whispered to Zhang Fei: "The children of the aristocratic family are so unreasonable, you don't need to argue with him."

Liu Bei was silent for a moment, and finally said in a loud voice: "The Yellow Turban Army is very poisonous. It is the unshirkable responsibility of every Han citizen to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army. The Wei family in Hedong has been bathed in the emperor's favor for generations. I think you must also have the heart to serve the country." "

"Your Excellency, help me today. When I take Jinyang City and return to General Huangfu, I will definitely let General Huangfu record your merits."

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Wei Chu burst out laughing.

"You leave thirty fine war horses, and I will tell you how to get to Jinyang City. In addition, when I escort my wife back to the Wei family, I will tell the owner truthfully that General Liu once sent horses to help my wife return to Hedong."

War horses are a relatively scarce resource in this era.

Thirty fine war horses are a huge fortune.

Zhang Fei didn't like Wei Chu at all. When he heard Wei Chu's words, Zhang Fei would habitually refuse.

However, before Zhang Fei could speak, Liu Bei smiled and nodded.

"Second brother, go and select thirty high-quality war horses yourself."

Thirty war horses are certainly important.

But it is far inferior to the mission of Jinyang City.

In addition, using thirty war horses to befriend the Hedong Wei family is also a very cost-effective deal.

"General Liu is so refreshing!"

Wei Chu cupped his hands towards Liu Bei, then pointed in a random direction and said to Liu Bei: "General Liu leads his troops forward in the direction of my finger. If we keep walking for about three days, we will see a long river. "

"You can see Jinyang City by walking along the bank of the long river and in the direction of the rising sun for about five days."

Liu Bei carefully wrote down Wei Chu's words.

"Thank you, General Wei, for your advice."

Wei Chu waved his hand gently, "Everyone helps each other, General Liu doesn't need to be so polite."

"General Wei, I..."

This time, before Liu Bei could finish his words, Wei Chu said loudly: "General Liu, I wish you success in advance. It's getting late. You can leave after leaving your horses."

Liu Bei smiled awkwardly, hugged his fists towards Wei Chu, and finally turned to look at the carriage. Then Liu Bei passed Wei Chu and walked away.

Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei, and when he was about to pass Wei Chu, Zhang Fei suddenly stopped and said, "Huh, I've already taken note of you. If we meet again in the future, you'd better be careful."
