Chapter 72 Crying into Guangling

It was Ji Ling who led the cavalry to rush over.

There is still a long way from Liu Bei, Ji Ling shouted: "Liu Bei stops leaving and leave the head!"

Seeing Ji Ling, Liu Bei didn't care about crying anymore, and he didn't expect to go to Xiaopei to find Guan Yu, Zhang Fei urged the war horse to run away.

Mi Fang followed behind him with a few remaining guards.

Ji Ling came from the north, Xiaopei was in the east, and there was also a trumpet of love coming from the west.

Liu Bei had to flee south.

Without Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Mi Fang around him, he could not stop Ji Ling, and Liu Bei had to escape without his life.

But Ji Ling chased after him.

Both sides chased and fled, and actually went south for more than two hundred miles.

There was no chance to catch a breath on the road. When Ji Ling stopped chasing him, the exhausted Liu Bei fell down.

Although Mi Fang and several guards were equally exhausted, they hurried forward.

Holding Liu Bei's neck, Mi Fang lifted him up and shouted: "Uncle Emperor! Uncle Emperor!"

After calling for more than ten times, Liu Bei opened his eyes slowly.

"Water..." He licked his dry lips and asked Mi Fang and others for water to drink.

"Send water here quickly." Mi Fang shouted.

A guard hurried to the horse, untied the water bag and handed it over.

After taking the water bag, Mi Fang approached Liu Bei's lips: "Uncle Emperor, the water is coming."

After drinking some water in a big mouthful, Liu Bei recovered a lot of energy.

"Where have we been?" he asked weakly in Mi Fang's arms.

"It seems to be in Guangling's territory." Mi Fang asked, "Uncle, what should I do?"

"Is the prefect of Guangling Chen Deng?" Liu Bei asked.

"That's right." Mi Fang replied: "Chen Deng first joined Cao Cao, but now the emperor's uncle betrays the Cao family, so he is afraid of him..."

"Chen Deng is a kind and righteous gentleman. Although he has served Cao Cao, he will definitely not harm me." Liu Bei said: "We might as well go and vote for him first."

Struggling to sit up, he said to Mi Fang: "Let's go to Guangling County Government."

When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, Chen Deng did serve as an official under him.

Later, Lu Bu drove Liu Bei away, while Chen Deng secretly contacted Cao Cao to launch the battle in Xia Pi, almost destroying Lu Bu.

Lu Bu and Chen Deng had a grudge, but Liu Bei had some friendship with him.

In addition to abandoning his wife and escaping, Liu Bei also has a special skill that is to win people's hearts.

Every time he is like a dog with a broken family, there are always people who are willing to take him in.

Chen Deng was the queen mother in Guangling, so Liu Bei would of course vote for him.

After joining the Cao family to guard Guangling, Chen Deng did not receive any news that Liu Bei rebelled and Lu Bu surrendered.

When he heard that Liu Bei was coming, Chen Deng went out of the city to greet him.

Seeing Liu Bei from afar, he bowed and said, "I have seen the envoy!"

"Yuanlong!" There were more than ten steps before Chen Deng. Liu Bei turned over and ran over, and then he started to speak and cried loudly: "Save me quickly!"

He burst into tears and bowed.

Chen Deng hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "I heard that the envoy was in Xudu and was named the governor of Yuzhou by Cao Gong. He led his troops to Xia Pi a few days ago. Why did he fall into such a situation now?"

After being helped up by Chen Deng, Liu Bei said with tears on his face: "Duke Cao ordered me to attack Huainan. I led my army to Xiapi. I planned to stay for a few days before leaving. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's guy actually attacked and killed the soldiers while our army was sleeping soundly at night!"

The one who suddenly attacked that night was Liu Bei.

But after he said this, Chen Deng frowned without any doubt and said, "I heard that Lu Bu became a follower of Cao Gong. I have long said that he was unreliable. He really did such a thing."

Liu Bei next talked about his defeat and retreating to Xiaopei.

When he said that Lu Bu was sieging the city, he specifically mentioned the siege tower that appeared outside the city.

"I seemed to have seen that kind of weapon for the first time." When talking about the siege tower, Liu Bei said, "But no matter what, I can't remember where I have seen it..."

"The envoy is so forgetful." Chen Deng said: "At the time in Xuzhou, a merchant from Qin sent a picture, which included a siege tower. The envoy also saw it at that time. It was only because Cao Gong attacked Xuzhou that he could not build it with the pattern."

Liu Bei slapped his forehead and said in annoyance: "Why didn't I expect it?"

"When the envoy threw away Xuzhou, could it be Lu Bu who could get the picture?" Chen Deng asked.

"It's very likely." Liu Bei replied: "In his hands, what can I hide from Xuzhou?"

"Lu Bu first made a statement to Cao Gong, and then he did this after returning to Xia Pi." Chen Deng looked solemn: "We have to tell Cao Gong as soon as possible."

"Yuan Long, don't tell Mr. Cao." Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him.

Chen Deng asked in confusion: "Lu Bu rebelled, and Cao Gong must send troops to attack him. Why should the envoy stop me?"

"Mr. Cao gave me troops and wanted me to attack Huainan." Liu Bei said: "The army was destroyed by Lu Bu in Xia Pi before he even arrived in Huainan. Once Mr. Cao knew about it, how could I not be asked for any crime?"

"The thing has happened. Could it be that the envoy has other ways?" Liu Bei refused to report to Cao Cao, and Chen Deng was immediately confused.

Staring into Liu Bei's eyes, he seemed to want to see through something.

Since Liu Bei claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan, he has long been able to hide his eyes.

From his eyes, what Chen Deng saw was a strong sadness.

"Lu Bu's troops are not many, but Guangling has some men." Liu Bei said: "If Yuan Long is willing to lend me, I will definitely get rid of this serious problem for Duke Cao."

"Use Guangling's troops to deal with Lu Bu alone..." Chen Deng frowned and did not agree immediately.

Although Guangling has some troops, Lu Bu is the most powerful general in the world after all.

It would be as difficult as the sky to defeat Lu Bu with the military strength of the land.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Deng said, "Don't be anxious. Since you can't tell Cao, we will think of other ways. Guangling alone is indeed not a match for Lu Bu. I have to contact some people and fight Lu Bu together to achieve success."

"I have no choice but to Yuanlong." Although he still felt that it was not reliable, Liu Bei dared not stop him anymore.

"We should not talk here, either." Chen Deng took a step back: "Please, please."

Liu Bei and Chen Deng entered Guangling City.

Hundreds of steps away from Guangling City Gate, two strong men watched them enter the city, nodded at each other, and ran away quickly.

They rushed to the two horses tied a little far away, and they untied their reins and turned over the horses.

The two riders quickly left, and pieces of smoke and dust rose behind them.

Chasing Liu Bei into Guangling, Ji Ling stopped at the border.

He did not return to Xia Pi immediately, but sent a scout to follow Liu Bei.

The low-high hills are full of green trees.

Ji Ling sat on a large stone and looked into the direction of Guangling County Mansion.

At the end of the road at the foot of the mountain, two fast horses came to speed.

He suddenly stood up and stared at two galloping figures.
