[Three Kingdoms] Your nemesis is online

On the second day, Sima Yi and Sima Lang saluted themselves on the road early and made preparations.

On the other hand, Zhang Liang was empty-handed, and even the horses were bought temporarily, so he didn't look like someone who was going to travel far away.

"Haven't you ever ridden a horse before traveling in Shaofu?"

Sima Yi was very puzzled. Zhang Liang rarely had any money on him. He didn't ride a horse and didn't eat or drink. He was really a weirdo.

Sima Yi's question was not easy for Zhang Liang to answer, so he avoided answering it completely.

"This time there is no special need to rush on the road. Cao Sikong is still some time away from returning to Xuzhou. Going too early is just waiting."

Zhang Liang hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and Zhang Liang was still not used to it. After leaving Guangling, Zhang Liang would often look back. Sima Yi once asked him if he was waiting for someone, but Zhang Liang just shook his head and didn't say anything.

The three stopped and walked along the way, Zhang Liang paid special attention to the situation of the people and some officials in various places, and only sighed after asking each time.

Sima Yi didn't quite understand, Zhang Liang clearly knew the result, even though he was disappointed again and again, but still had to run into a wall again, what was the reason for this.

Sima Yi still doesn't understand Si Yi's explanation, won't he be shocked by every disappointment?

Knowing that he can't do it, he does it, but the current Sima Yi doesn't understand.

A huge city can be vaguely seen in the distance, the official roads below the city are full of people coming and going, and the towering towers are patrolled by officers and soldiers on ten steps and one post.

As he approached, Zhang Liang got off his horse and looked at Xiapi with the plaque on the top of his head. He revisited his hometown after hundreds of years, and his emotions were either agitated or reluctant, and even more mixed feelings for a while.

Sometimes there are many memories of being here in my mind, but when I think about it carefully, I don't have that strong sense of nostalgia.

It was because of Qin Huang's east tour, he led the assassination and failed, so he hid in Xiapi City. At that time, he was troubled by the revival.

"Young Mansion, Young Mansion!"

Sima Yi didn't reach out to pull Zhang Liang's sleeve this time, but lowered his voice to call out to Zhang Liang who was still dazed on the road, but there were people coming and going nearby, so it didn't help much.

It even caused a lot of people to look sideways at Zhang Liang, Sima Lang hurriedly pulled him over, and there were some Sima Yi who didn't even know about it.

She shook her head at him, motioning to stop shouting.

Sima Yi smiled apologetically, and then reached out and tugged at Zhang Liang's sleeve, "Now it's on the official road at the gate of the city. If it's the first time we come to the city, we can take a stroll."

"Ah."

To be honest, Zhang Liang is still very interested in the current Xiapi City.

After being interrogated at the gate of the city, nothing unusual was found, so they let it go.

In Xiapi City, Zhang Liang glanced around to determine some situations in the city.

Among them, there are a lot of restaurants, and the sound of vendors hawking is also one after another. Along the way, the situation in the farmland after the disaster is more appropriate in Xuzhou.

Walking through the crowds, Zhang Liang's eyes have been attracted by the people and things nearby since he entered the city.

The noise of hawking and hawking can be heard endlessly, which will form a sharp contrast with the massacre of the city in the near future. Between the ruler and the common people, Zhang Liang has to make a choice again.

No one is right or wrong in all this, but no matter which party will bear the unaffordable consequences.

After entering Xiapi City, Zhang Liang lost his mind more and more often.

Sima Lang went to find an inn first, Sima Yi accompanied Zhang Liang for a stroll, and then they walked back.

When night fell, Zhang Liang left the inn again and drifted all the way to the governor's residence in Xuzhou.

Tao Qian's life expectancy is approaching, and now he is only a stranger, and soon there will be three things that Xuzhou will say.

Zhang Liang in the Fuchu finally stopped outside a brightly lit room, and if he listened carefully, he could still hear slight voices.

A slightly old voice came suddenly, as if asking something, "Cao Cao fought Yuan Shu, how is the battle going?"

The young voice was interspersed with a few sobs, and the words were not confident, "Go back to father, Cao Cao has already returned to the imperial court, and the place he passed was heading for Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou, Xuzhou again, where is Mr. Liu?"

"Rushing back, Liu Bei seems to have left Cao Cao after the war."

"That's good, what about the soldiers and horses in the city?"

There was one last glimmer of hope, and the old voice was a little more relaxed than before.

"Soldiers and horses are still sufficient, but there is no general in the army who can compete with Cao Cao's men." Maybe it is not enough for others to slash through.

"Send an eyeliner out to look out for the wind. Be sure to wait until Liu Shijun enters the city, and don't confront Cao Cao's men head-on."

"No, my son understands, let's go down and prepare now, father should rest more and take care of his body."

Then there was a slight movement in the room, followed by a series of footsteps coming towards the door, and after a 'chih' sound, the door was opened from the inside.

Zhang Liang hurriedly made way for the young man who came out, so as not to mislead others.

After the young man left, several long sighs came from the room again, as if there were a thousand kinds of melancholy in his heart, and he continued to cut and reason and remained chaotic.

He couldn't save Tao Qian, but he wanted to save the people in the next place, but it was not he who could persuade Cao Cao, but Guo Jia. How could he ask Guo Jia to help?

After floating out of Tao Qian's mansion again, what Zhang Liang thought was no longer what would happen to Xuzhou.

Guo Jia himself doesn't like being restrained, maybe this can be Zhang Liang's breakthrough.

Guo Jia had already been targeted by Zhang Liang before he came this time, but liking and willingness were two different things.

In the following time, Zhang Liang occasionally went to Tao Qian's mansion to see the progress here, and at the same time, he always paid attention to the situation of Cao Cao and Guo Jia on the horoscope.

After waiting for nearly half a month, Zhang Liang went out once at night and ran into Liu Bei who sneaked into the city.

"Father is here to invite, let Mr. Liu enter the mansion first!"

"Hey, we waited outside for so long before you ordered someone to open the door. I, Zhang Fei, didn't see how anxious you are! What kind of hospitality is this!"

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense, the eldest son forgive me."

Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, was beckoning Liu Bei to go to the city as soon as possible. They were looking forward to it day and night, but they waited for him to come back.

Looking over from Zhang Liangyuan, he could see three people standing in front of a young man who had just dismounted from their horses, traveling day and night, all the way full of dust.

He has a kind face and a friendly face, and he bowed his hands to the young man almost after dismounting from his horse. His behavior is quite self-possessed, although he can still see his fatigue between his brows, but he doesn't let others worry about him in the slightest.

The two warriors who followed closely behind him, after Liu Bei saluted, they also saluted the pottery merchant habitually despite their helplessness.

The red-faced man with red phoenix eyes has been holding his horse with one hand, stroking his long beard with the other hand from time to time, so contented, he completely ignores other things, and just waits for Liu Bei to finish his greetings, and then he can lead the horse and follow .

Afterwards, one person kept yelling non-stop after dismounting, even louder than thunder, with a swallow and a tiger beard, and his temper seemed a little impatient, as if he didn't want to wait for a moment, he just wanted to take a rest and drink a jar of wine in peace , in order to alleviate the fatigue of traveling for a few days.

"It's okay, Shang has already ordered people to prepare the accommodation, the two of you can lead the way, and go down to rest first."

The pottery merchant didn't dare to lose his temper to these people, and without changing his face, he ordered the people behind him to lead the way for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

As long as Xuzhou's problem is solved, he can bear it.

Tao Qian's life was at stake, and he took over a stable Xuzhou, which was much better than Xuzhou, which was hated by Cao Cao.

"Young Master Lao, please worry."

Liu Bei was not moved by the fact that the potter didn't mind, and still returned the gift with courtesy, apologizing on his behalf.

Guan Yu, who had few words, also added a sentence when Liu Bei saluted, not to embarrass Liu Bei, "Thank you!"

"Hurry up and lead the way! Fortunately, we rushed back first, and Cao Cao was not far behind. If the door is not opened, it will really delay. No matter how good the opportunity is, it will be delayed."

"Second brother, third brother go down to rest first, and prepare to accompany the eldest son to meet Tao Cishi."

"promise."

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei followed the potter to Tao Qian's mansion. The two were walking side by side, but Liu Bei paused for a moment, one step behind Tao Qian, before following up again.

"How is Tao Cishi's health recently?"

When asked about Tao Qian's situation, the potter's eyes turned red, and his mood sank again.

"As always, when Shang visited famous doctors in Xuzhou, everyone shook his head and said that his father had a heart disease, but isn't his father's heart disease caused by Cao Cao?"

"The war has not yet started, and everything is unknown. Although it is good to be nervous, don't be too anxious."

Liu Bei was still a good person and reminded the potter, but the worry in his eyes did not feel wrong, but was a little touching, feeling that he and others cared so much about Xuzhou.

Zhang Liang floated out of the shadowy dark place after several people had all left. He couldn't help but secretly sigh in admiration for this Liu Bei's behavior.

Everything is just right, if the leader is helping Xuzhou again, instead of letting the potters stand on the tip of the knife, it seems understandable for Tao Qian to give Xuzhou a place three times!

Zhang Liang didn't follow, he knew what they would talk about, the situation of the war, whether they won or lost, Zhang Liang didn't care about it.

Zhang Liang has witnessed countless wars in the merger between territories. He only cares about the situation of the people in Xuzhou, and he may not be able to help if he wants to.

Guo Jia should be coming to Xiapi soon. Even if he doesn't know whether Zhang Liang will come here, but Cao Cao will come.

I only hope that Guo Jia can still make it in time!Zhang Liang looked in the direction of the city gate again. After Liu Guanzhang came in, the city gate was closed, and there was no one patrolling the guards at night.

Looking away, Zhang Liang drifted back to his residence, and saw a good show tonight.

After another few days, after coming out of the inn, Zhang Liang obviously found that there were much fewer pedestrians on the street than a few days ago, and the whole city entered the stage of war preparation.

Sima Yi looked at the hurrying people on the street, but he didn't realize it for a while, "Is there going to be a war? Why is it so deserted outside today?"

Zhang Liang didn't know what to think of, so he replied casually, "Liu Bei has already entered the city last night, Cao Sikong should be there soon, but Xuzhou has a lot of soldiers and still needs to rely on the three brothers Liu Bei to take the lead to boost morale."

"It's an embarrassing situation with too many soldiers and few generals. Will the Shaofu provide Cao Sikong with information about the city?"

Zhang Liang shook his head, civil servants should not be involved in military affairs unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Someone has already sneaked in, and we don't need our help."
