Chapter 6 Did I run into the boss lady? Saved!
Liu Bei became anxious.
Emotionally, he was determined to retake Xia Pi, but rationally, he told him that the young man in front of him was a rare genius of the time.
A man with the ability to assist him and realize his ambition to support the Han Dynasty!
If you miss this, won’t you regret it?
"In that case, I will ask Jian Xianhe to accompany Mr. Xiao, which will be considered as the hospitality of the host."
"What do you think, Master Xiao?"
Liu Bei had to settle for the second best and arrange for his trusted advisers to follow Xiao Fang so as not to lose any news of Xiao Fang and miss the opportunity.
Xiao Fang naturally knew what Lao Liu was thinking, so he saw through it but did not say anything, and gladly accepted his kindness.
The two said goodbye.
Liu Bei even personally escorted Xiao Fang out of the city and watched his carriage go away.
"This person is truly a genius of the time."
"If I had met him earlier, I wouldn't be in this predicament today."
"Ah~~"
Liu Bei stroked his thin beard and sighed with emotion.
The carriage and horses gradually went away and disappeared at the end of the horizon.
He then put away his sigh, and a hint of murderous intent appeared on his face.
"Pass on my order. Abandon Xu and Taipei tonight and retreat northward along the Sishui River to Xiapi."
"I'm going to give it my all and fight that treacherous villain!"
...
On the road, a line of carriages and horses moved slowly.
"Master Jinglue, where are we going?"
Jian Yong outside the carriage asked loudly.
"Let's go to Haixi County."
"Haisi?"
There was a hint of suspicion in Jian Yong's eyes.
Isn’t Xiao Jinglue’s brother-in-law from the Zhuge clan of Langya?
If you want to worship your ancestors, you should go north to Langya. Why do you want to go east to Haixi?
Jian Yong was puzzled, but he didn't ask too much.
"Brother-in-law, are we leaving just like this?"
"You traveled thousands of miles back to Xuzhou, wasn't it just to be Liu Xuande's adviser?"
"Are you just going to give up so easily?"
"If Liu Xuande really takes back Xia Pi, how can we lead him to seize Jingzhou?"
Zhuge Liang in the carriage finally couldn't bear it anymore and poured out all his confusion.
Xiao Fang smiled meaningfully and asked:
"Aliang, if you were Chen Gong, how would you let Lu Bu deal with Liu Xuande if he led his army back to Xiapi?"
Zhuge Liang understood that his brother-in-law was testing him.
His thoughts raced, and after a moment's silence, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"My brother-in-law said before that most of Liu Xuande's soldiers are from Xuzhou, and the majority are from Xiapi."
"If I were Chen Gong, I would only need to offer advice to Lu Bu and invite the families of these soldiers to the top of the city walls, crying and calling for their husbands and nephews, and Liu Xuande's army would naturally collapse."
"In this way, Liu Xuande will be defeated without a fight!"
Xiao Fang nodded slightly, his eyes approving.
He is worthy of the potential of Wolong. The fact that he can come up with such a strategy at this age shows that he has extraordinary talent.
"So you also know that Liu Xuande will definitely fail when he goes to Xia Pi."
"I think he is still unwilling to lose Xuzhou, and will most likely gather his defeated troops and head south across the Huai River in an attempt to retake Guangling County."
"Then we will use Guangling as our base and slowly try to recover Xuzhou."
"Unfortunately, Yuan Shu is not a pushover. He can't be defeated by his defeated army. He is doomed to suffer another disastrous defeat."
"After these two disastrous defeats, he completely lost hope of retaking Xuzhou."
"By that time, will you still be afraid of this Liu Shijun and not honestly follow us to seize Jingzhou?"
Xiao Fang released another wave of spoilers.
In history, Liu Bei did fail in his attempt to retake Xia Pi, and then he went south to take Guangling but was defeated by Yuan Shu.
The changes to the timeline caused by his flapping wings have not yet appeared, and Lao Liu will probably continue to step into the traps he is bound to step into.
Zhuge Liang suddenly understood and couldn't help but sigh:
"It turns out that my brother-in-law had already figured out exactly what Liu Xuande was going to do."
"I wonder when I can reach this level of wisdom..."
Zhuge Liang's tone of admiration was filled with a hint of envy.
After sighing, he became confused again and asked hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, I understand. We have to wait until Liu Xuande is at the end of his rope before persuading him to seize Jingzhou."
"But why don't we follow him with the army, but go to Haixi instead?"
Xiao Fang curled his lips.
It is recorded in history that after Liu Bei was defeated in Guangling, his army was so destitute of ammunition and food that their soldiers almost ate each other.
"If you follow Liu Xuande, you will flee with him."
"After all, I am not his strategist, brother-in-law. We can share the good times, but let's not share the bad times."
After saying that, Xiao pointed to the east:
"After he was defeated in Guangling, his soldiers fled and their food and grass were cut off. He must have first looked for a place to stay."
"The Mi family is the richest in Xuzhou, and Haixi is the Mi family's base. They have plenty of food and slaves."
"Mi Zhu has staked the future of his family on Liu Xuande, so he will naturally persuade him to move his troops to Haixi for food."
"Why don't we go to Haixi in advance, enjoy the sea breeze, bask in the sun, and wait for him to come to us?"
Xiao Fang did not hide anything from his brother-in-law and told him the reason.
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized and finally understood Xiao Fang's motive for going to Haixi. He couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Xiao Fang deeply.
It was calculated that Liu Bei would defeat Lu Bu first and then Yuan Shu.
Even after Liu Bei's two defeats, he would go to Haixi to rely on the Mi family, which was all under control!
"This is a very calculated move. My brother-in-law's wisdom is truly unfathomable."
"I'm afraid that my teacher Shui Jing is slightly inferior to my brother-in-law..."
Zhuge Liang secretly felt emotional.
The carriage headed east, all the way to Haixi City.
At this time, Yuan Shu had not yet crossed the Huai River, Lu Bu had just captured Xia Pi and had not yet had time to extend his hand to the east of Xia Pi, and Liu Bei's prestige was still there.
Therefore, Jian Yong accompanied him and he passed through several cities without any obstruction.
The group first traveled by land, then boarded a boat and sailed north along the river to Haixi.
Before I knew it, four days had passed.
At dusk, the boat arrived at a ferry and prepared to dock for supplies.
Just as the boat was about to dock, they discovered a fight taking place at the ferry.
Hundreds of soldiers under the "Lü" flag were fighting fiercely with more than a hundred Liu Bei's Xuzhou soldiers at the ferry.
Lu's army was large in numbers and had the upper hand.
Xiao Fang didn't want to get involved in the fight, so he ordered the boat to leave and continue north along the river.
"It's Mi Fang, Sun Gongyou and the others!"
Jian Yong's face suddenly changed, and he pointed at the shore and exclaimed:
"Mi Zizhong said that the two of them were protecting the mistress and fleeing to Haixi. It must be that Lu Bu sent his troops here to take the mistress back as a hostage!"
"The enemy general leading the troops is the traitor Xu Dan!"
"In that carriage, there must be my mistress!"
Xiao Fang's heart trembled, and he turned to look at the shore again.
Sure enough, there were two men in armor among the Xuzhou soldiers. They must be Mi Fang and Sun Qian mentioned by Jian Yong.
The two were shouting at the few soldiers who were desperately protecting a carriage.
The person in the carriage should be Liu Bei's wife, Su.
"It's really a coincidence that I can encounter this..."
Xiao Fang sighed in his heart and immediately ordered the boats to sail into the ferry.
It would have been fine if he hadn't hit her, but since he had hit the boss lady in trouble, how would he explain to Lao Liu in the future if he didn't help her?
This man is saved.
"Madam, we will be rescued, but the enemy has hundreds of men, and there are only fifty or sixty of us on the ship."
"The enemy outnumbers us, Master Xiao needs to stay calm."
Jian Yong wanted to save Madam Su, but was also afraid that something might happen to Xiao Fang, so he was in a dilemma.
"Although we are outnumbered, we have the advantage of being able to attack halfway and catch the enemy by surprise."
"As long as we capture the leader first, we will not be afraid of the enemy even if they are numerous!"
Xiao Fang was calm and unhurried. He glanced at the young guard leader beside him, pointed to the shore and said:
"Wen Chang, did you see that enemy general in armor? He must be the enemy leader Xu Dan."
"Don't you want to follow me and become a marquis and a general, and become famous all over the world?"
"Then let's start by taking Xu Dan's head from the chaotic army!"
