Chapter 68 Immortals help the battle

Since Liu Bei had escaped, there was no need for Liu Yanzhi to stay. He was about to leave, but he couldn't help looking back. The ground was full of miserable misfortunes. The more than 100,000 people who fled south with Liu Bei. They wanted to avoid the war, but were stolen on Changbanpo.

Liu Yanzhi couldn't blame Liu Bei. This emperor's uncle almost lost his wife and children in the chaos, so he had no ability to protect the people. Suddenly he woke up like an enlightenment. Liu Bei had no ability, but he had it himself. He turned over and dismounted, lifted the cold river water to clean the blood on his face, and cleaned the blood stains on the spear. The river water in early winter was cold and made people feel extremely awake.

This time, there was no need to continue to do business under Zhao Zilong's name. Liu Yanzhi simply took off his armor, took out a clean linen robe from the roadside refugee luggage roll, put it on, untied his bun, dressed up as a charlatan, and soared into the air. He found Cao Cao's Qingluo umbrella cover in the air, shouted Cao Mengde and flew straight over.

When Cao Cao heard someone calling his name in the sky, he hurriedly stopped the horse and looked up. He looked up at the awning of the hand tower. He saw a man floating in the air, barefoot in his clothes and hair disheveled, looking like a demon. After all, Cao Cao was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and a hero in the world. He had seen many gods and monsters when he rose up. He could not scare him by the mere floating technique.

Cao Cao has always had a great eye for a great hero like Zhao Zilong, but he had no good color in all the sorcerers of the world. He immediately ordered the archers to shoot into the air and shoot the demon to death. All those who came down to the earth to wear bows and arrows were lit and arrows were shot directly at Liu Yan.

Liu Yanzhi rose calmly. Seeing this move, he could not scare Cao Cao, he whispered loudly: "Cao Mengde, if you commit another murder, you will be defeated in the southern expedition. Today, anyone who slaughtered the people will be killed in the sea of ​​fire." After saying that, he left with the wind.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "The evil words confuse the public, but I am just right." But this is just for his subordinates. In fact, the demon's motto made him feel guilty and panic. He still sent a flag officer, Pegasus, to order the army to not plunder and massacre the people, and those who violate the orders were killed.

...

Liu Yanzhi's method still worked and saved the lives of countless people. He returned to the river and went to Zhao Yun's armor and weapons, and drove the clouds back to the warship in the Yangtze River.

The Ori River Navy warship continued to move westward, and suddenly saw hundreds of ships with the name Liu banner in front of him. It turned out that it was Jiangxia and Liu Qi who led his army to pick up the emperor's uncle Liu Bei. Liu Yanzhi ordered people to ship Zhao Yun's armored weapons in a small boat. Soon, Zhao Yun came to invite Liu Yanzhi to come and meet Liu Huangshu.

Liu Yan changed into a simple battle robe, took a boat to Liu Qi's flagship, and boarded the ship to meet the famous Liu Guanzhang and Zhuge Liang in history.

Liu Bei stood by the side of the boat early and waited. When Liu Yanzhi climbed up from the soft ladder, he even reached out to help him. The respect for the wise and the wise men were indeed well-deserved.

"Sister, please sit down." Liu Bei held Liu Yanzhi's hand and refused to let go, so he insisted on sitting on his own straw mat in the center.

There is no need to introduce the generals behind Liu Bei, and Liu Yanzhi can guess it well. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei have already met him. Then the remaining one with a height of over 1.8 meters and a long beard on his face must be Guan Yu and Guan Yun. The young man dressed in a literati was naturally Zhuge Liang. As for Liu Qi, he can only be considered a supporting role who is not on the table.

"I dare not take it, the emperor is killed." Liu Yan smiled and declined. He had already seen disdain and arrogance in Guan Yunchang's eyes.

Liu Bei said: "What's wrong? If it weren't for the help of the hero, Bei would have almost damaged a general."

This is for Zhao Yun to hear, to show that Zhao Yun's status is more important than Gan and Mi's wife and Adou. Although this move is often used, it works every time, and Zhao Zilong's eyes are reddened.

Then Liu Bei introduced to Guan Yu how Liu Yanzhi covered up Zhao Yun’s heroic deeds of saving the two wives and A Dou, and Guan Yu’s arrogance changed a little.

"I wonder what the navy troops have to do with Mr. Liu?" Zhuge Liang asked, seeing that they had finished speaking on the scene, shaking the goose feather fan.

"This must be the military advisor Zhuge." Liu Yanzhi bowed and bowed, and then introduced himself: "Yanzhi was not talented, so he came to pick up the emperor's uncle on his order. Because the navy was slow in sailing, he first landed on the shore and rode alone in the formation. Fortunately, the emperor's uncle was fine, otherwise Yanzhi would be really guilty of death."

Zhuge Liang wondered, isn't Jinjiang a region under the jurisdiction of the Liu family in Jingzhou? When was it occupied?

Liu Yanzhi told the story, saying that my lord Liu Yugan was the King of Chu of the Western Han Dynasty. He lived in seclusion in Cuiwei Mountain, Jinjiang for many years. Because he could not bear the people being poisoned by Cao's army, he resolutely raised an army to seize Jinjiang. He led the prefect of Jinjiang and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of Jinjiang. He came to help him at night.

Zhuge Liang looked like he suddenly realized and said, "So that's it."

Liu Bei said: "It turns out that he is also a relative of the Han Dynasty. I heard about Mr. Yugan's reputation for a long time when I was young, but I didn't have the chance to see the real person. This time I can finally get what I want."

Liu Yan smiled and said, "The lord is in charge of Jinjiang. If the emperor is interested, it is better to stay in Jinjiang for the time being, so that I can ask for advice sooner or later."

Liu Bei did not comment and asked Zhuge Liang with his eyes.

Zhuge Liang said: "It is too far away from the river, and the money and food in Jiangxia are still sufficient, and it is a junction with Xiakou. It is better for the lord to condemn Yun Chang to lead 5,000 troops to guard Xiakou, and the rest of the people go to Jiangxia together."

Liu Bei said: "What the military advisor said is very true. I wonder what the governor thought?"

Liu Yan said straight: "But rely on the emperor's order."

So the two armies merged and rushed to Jiangxia in a mighty way.

Jiangxia is a military fortress along the river, with 20,000 troops stationed. It was originally Liu Qi's territory. Now Jingzhou has been annexed by Cao Cao. Liu Qi is very self-aware and simply gives up the general's horse, money and grain. The family business accumulated by his son Liu Biao was given to Cao Cao by his second son 70% to 80% of the rest. The eldest son gave to Liu Bei. If you know him in the spring, you will definitely die with your eyes open.

The Omi Navy's warship also docked at the Jiangxia Wharf. Liu Handong and Lei Meng got off the boat to pay homage to Liu Bei. Liu Bei couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it: "I didn't expect that Omi would have such a hero."

Lei Meng was nearly two meters tall and was like a giant in the Han Dynasty. He was comparable to Dian Wei under Cao Cao's command and Xu Chu as powerful as generals, while Liu Handong was simply the young version of Zhao Zilong. The young man was nine feet tall, with a thin waist and a shiny back, a shiny face, and a white robe and silver armor. He was cool and handsome.

For the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, luxury goods such as mellow wine and swords and famous horses and beauties were far inferior to those of excellent generals and strategists. Liu Bei was the same. He wanted to accept the two generals on the spot, but it was difficult to poach directly because of the face.

As everyone knows, Cao Cao has countless famous generals, but Liu Bei only has three generals, Zhang and Zhao. At this time, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were all close to fifty years old, and Zhao Yun was also forty years old, and had already passed his peak state. The task of no successor to support the Han Dynasty was extremely slim.

Liu Bei held a banquet to entertain the three generals of the Jinjiang army, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun accompanied him. After drinking for three rounds, Liu Bei got up to go to the toilet and sighed to Zhuge Liang in private: "Why are you afraid of Cao Cao when you get these three generals?"

Zhuge Liang said: "This incident happened strangely. Liu Yanzhi's words were full of flaws. Liang had never heard of the descendants of the King of Chu hidden in the Anjiang River."

Liu Bei said: "There are many people who claim to be relatives of the Han Dynasty, which is not surprising."

Zhuge Liang said: "According to Liu Yanzhi's words, he originally led the navy to advance west along the river, but he was afraid of missing the opportunity to fight and then landed on the shore and rode alone in the formation. However, from a distance from the near river, the most convenient thing was the waterway. How could he take a shortcut to land? Besides, he surrounded the Cao army behind Zhao Zilong's palace and should have fought fiercely on Changbanpo, but how did he get on the warship again and walk ahead of us."

Liu Bei was shocked: "Military advisor, what do you think?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "Unless he can fly with wings."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Only the gods can drive the clouds. Could it be that Yanzhi is a god? That's fine. If the gods help each other, why worry about the injustice in the world?"

Zhuge Liang did not laugh and looked serious: "The one who can fly is not necessarily a god, but a demon. When Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong, he had the chance to meet an immortal. He had seen the magic of flying in the wind. He heard from the immortals that there are not only people, ghosts and gods in the world, but also various monsters. He has practiced for thousands of years, and can transform into human forms, go to heaven and earth, and can collect things from the sky."

Liu Bei put away his smile and said, "Since the military advisor, is Yanzhi a demon or an immortal?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed and said, "Yanzhi assisted the lord to resist Cao's thief. Even if he was a demon, he would be a good demon. If he helped Cao Cao work hard, even if he was an immortal, he would be a scum among the immortals."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and no longer doubted. He returned to the table and repeatedly persuaded him to drink. During the meal, he gave Liu Yanzhi a chain mail from the Western Regions. The chain mail was made of iron rings made of fine iron, which was more than half lighter than ordinary armor. Moreover, the chain mail was flexible and could move with the body. It was a rare treasure armor.

Liu Yanzhi refused to give up. He knew the preciousness of chain mail. The popular iron mail was still the one in the Han Dynasty. The Han craftsmanship could not make complex chain mail. Each chain mail came to the Central Plains through various channels and chances from thousands of miles away from the Western Regions. Ordinary people have never heard of it.

The earliest written record of chain mail in history was the "Preface to the Armor of the Ministers of the Last Emperor" written by Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi. More than a hundred years later, during the period of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, a general of the Former Qin Dynasty saw chain mail when he conquered the Kucha Kingdom in the Western Regions. He was still surprised that his armor was "like a chain of armor and could not be shot in." It can be seen how precious it is.

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the Mongols went to West Asia and brought back the technology to make chain mails. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that chain mails were equipped with large-scale troops and became popular products.

In short, the chain mail in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was definitely a treasure with no market value. It can be given to others, which is enough to ensure the sincerity of the donor.

So Liu Yanzhi didn't dare to accept it. Liu Bei's attitude was very firm and he became a stalemate.

Zhuge Liang said: "Governor Liu, this mail is worn by the Lord on a fair day. He is so heartless that he can accept it with a smile."

Liu Yanzhi had no choice but to accept it with a tough bullet and immediately asked Liu Handong to give him a gift.

After Omi Army brought out the gift, everyone on Liu Bei was stunned. He actually had a chain mail, and the exquisiteness of the craftsmanship was far superior to the old product given by Liu Bei. Omi's chain mail was more delicate and light, even including a pair of iron gloves woven chain mail, which were shining silver and exquisite. All the generals present were salivating.

Zhuge Liang was also secretly shocked. Such fine armor was rare in the world!

But they didn't know that this chain mail was a rough product commissioned by the mechanical processing factory overnight before leaving. The amazing iron gloves were just labor protection supplies for pig slaughterers in the meat joint factory. They paid 200 yuan to get a pair on Taobao.
