Chapter 4 Getting into trouble again
"How do you know that I am not the nephew of the emperor?" Liu Jing was not afraid and looked into Liu Pi's eyes.
Since Liu Pi participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping, he has been fighting in the north and south for more than ten years. He has known countless people and has rich life experience. Although he doesn't know if Liu Bei has any nephews, he can look at people. From Liu Jing's eyes, he sees a kind of self-confidence and a calm calmness that is different from ordinary people. This is a calm expression that ordinary impostors cannot do.
"Why do you prove that you are the emperor's nephew?"
"The emperor's uncle followed Lu Zhi and was friends with Gongsun Zan. In the early years of Zhongping, the emperor's uncle and Guan Zhang raised an army to fight against the Yellow Turban in Zhuo County. They made many military achievements, but were hated by the Zhongguan, so they had no reward for their contributions and wandered around. They occupied the plains, rescued Xuzhou, and fought against Cao's thieves. They were appointed as the emperor's uncle by the Emperor of Han. General Zuo, and they conspired with Dong Cheng and others to eliminate the traitors. Can these be used as evidence?"
Liu Pi stared at Liu Jing for a long time, slowly withdrew his sword, and said coldly: "If you dare to pretend, I will cut you into pieces."
Liu Jing smiled faintly, "The emperor's uncle was forced by Cao's army and was surrounded by enemies. What are the benefits of pretending to be his nephew at this time?"
"Of course there will be benefits"
Seeing that they were exhausted, Liu Pi waved his hand and said, "Prepare a small tent for them and give them another portion of meat rice."
.........
"Young master, you still have a way to coax them. If they are suspected of being a spy from Cao's army, they will suffer, and there will be no meat rice." Wu Xiu was hungry and cold, while eating meat rice with big mouthfuls, praising Liu Jing vaguely.
Liu Jing seemed a little worried. He pretended to be Liu Bei's nephew for a while. On the one hand, he wanted to make a living, but on the other hand, he did not want to be treated as a spy from Cao's army and was tortured. In the end, he had to be tied up. He needed to remain free and escape at any time.
He lowered his voice and said, "I'm full, let's run away in the dark."
"Why" Wu Xiu was stunned.
"We probably entered the war zone. They were obviously defeated soldiers. They were likely to be surrounded and suppressed by Cao's army again. It is extremely dangerous to be with them. We must escape as soon as possible."
Wu Xiu suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, "Young Master Gao Jian"
"No matter what, fill your stomach first."
Liu Jing was really hungry and picked up the bowl and started eating. This was the first meat rice he had eaten in the Three Kingdoms era, but unexpectedly it was horse meat rice.
.........
At the third update, Liu Jing tied his skin to his body, kicked Wu Xiu to wake him up, "left."
Before Wu Xiu could wake up, he got up in a daze and walked out of the tent with him. Liu Jing leaned his head and looked at the left corner. The man who was monitoring them fell asleep curled under a tree.
"Go away quickly"
Liu Jing waved his hand and quickly ran towards the edge of the camp with Wu Xiu who had just woken up. When he came in, he noticed that there was a gap in the northeast corner of the camp, and it seemed that there was not much defense force.
The two rushed to the gap, and their defenses were indeed relaxed. Dozens of guards hid in the corner and went to sleep. The two were overjoyed and ran towards the gap. Suddenly, Liu Jing pressed Wu Xiu and squatted him down.
"What's wrong"
Liu Jing rubbed his eyes and stared outside the camp. Under the dim moonlight, a group of black shadows were slowly approaching the gap in the camp. It had reached dozens of steps away. Liu Jing was so shocked that he was about to jump out of his chest. This was Cao's army going to attack the camp.
He pulled Wu Xiu up and ran back, shouting: "Cao army is here, Cao army is here."
The shouts woke up the sleeping defenders. They also noticed movement outside and immediately beat the gongs and drums.
Dangdangdang's harsh gong echoed in the camp, and the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos. The Cao army, who were preparing to attack outside, rushed over with shouts and defenders fought back, arrows were like rain, and wooden and stones were smashed down.
Liu Pi rushed out of the tent with a knife and shouted loudly: "All brothers have risen up to fight, but Cao's army has broken through the camp, and no one can survive."
More than 4,000 Yellow Turban soldiers rushed to the front of the camp. The camp was built against the mountain. The terrain was dangerous. As long as the defense was properly done, the Cao army would not attack for a while.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army had no way out and had to fight with its back. The morale was gradually aroused. They fought to kill the enemy. The Cao army attacked the enemy with great casualties. They left more than 200 bodies and retreated down the mountain in a panic.
At this time, drums sounded loudly at the foot of the mountain, and fires shot up from all sides. A army of Cao from thousands of people rushed over to the north. This was the army of general Gao Lan, and an army in the south was also coming. The leader was Yu Jin, who was the commander of this army of more than 10,000 Cao.
Yu Jin heard that the sneak attack failed and was furious, "The Yellow Turban Thief dared to bully me and attack me from three sides."
The Cao army made a loud drum sound, and ten thousand Cao army launched an attack on the camp from three directions north and south at the same time. The soldiers rushed towards the camp like a tide, and the fire arrows were covered with the sky and shot towards the camp...
"Young Master, let's run from the back mountain." Wu Xiu had never experienced such a battle situation. He was so scared that he trembled and held Liu Jing tightly, for fear that he would leave him and run away.
Liu Jing had no intention of running away from the back mountain at this time. He had just experienced a speed of escape two days ago, but unexpectedly he was in a melee again.
Although he had no experience in fighting, he knew very well that their Cao army must have sealed the back mountain, and escaping would be a dead end.
"Apart from expecting the Yellow Turban Army to persevere, we have no way out."
Liu Jing smiled bitterly, and he found that the situation was even more serious than he thought. In the melee, not to mention Liu Bei's nephew, even pretending to be Cao Cao's father would be useless.
"What should we do? Are we going to die here?" Wu Xiu almost cried out in a sad voice.
Liu Jing looked at him with contempt. He originally thought that this Shujiao was good, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and dared to pretend to be Liu Biao's nephew, and had some courage to do great things.
But when death came, his timid and fearful side of death was fully exposed. Liu Jing saw through this person. He asked himself to pretend to be Liu Biao's nephew just to give Liu Biao an explanation, and was afraid that Liu Biao would punish him. In fact, he had no courage at all. He was just a cowardly villain at heart.
Liu Jing was really bored. He broke free from Wu Xiu's hand and said coldly: "No one wants to die now, but it's God's will that is, what's so scary?"
He ignored Wu Xiu and walked towards the camp. The battle in front of the camp was extremely fierce. The Yellow Turban Army occupied the territory, and wood and stones fell like hail, repelling Cao's army again and again. Hundreds of soldiers were holding cloth soaked in water. When Cao's rockets were shot in, they immediately rushed up to extinguish them.
Although the Yellow Turban Army fought bravely and had high morale, Liu Pi was worried and stood under a tree and stared blankly into the distance.
"What are the general worried about?" Liu Jing walked up and asked with a smile.
Liu Pi sighed, "I'm afraid that Cao's army will be besieged, and the food in the army will be cut off. I can only kill horses to fill the hunger. If Cao's army sieges for five days, we will be completely finished."
"Didn't the general think about surrendering?"
Liu Pi shook his head, "I heard that Cao Cao issued a killing order this time, and all the Runan Yellow Turban Army were killed. If he surrendered, he would also die."
Speaking of this, Liu Pi patted Liu Jing's shoulder heavily and said with a smile: "No matter whether you are the emperor's nephew or not, I still want to thank you tonight. If you hadn't discovered Cao Jun in time, we would have been done."
Liu Jing's face turned hot. He knew that Liu Pi had actually seen through him. If he were Liu Bei's nephew, he would not have thought of running away in the middle of the night.
"What are the plans for the general?"
"I want to break through and go back to Ancheng County first. If I really can't do it, then go south."
Liu Jing shook his head, "Ancheng County has been defeated by Xiahou Yuan's iron cavalry, General Gong's entire army is wiped out. I met on the road. It is impossible for the general to go south. I advise the general to defend the camp to the death and wait for Uncle Liu to come to rescue him."
When Liu Pi heard that Ancheng County had been destroyed, Gongdu's entire army was wiped out, his face turned pale. This was his last glimmer of hope, but it was also shattered.
"Uncle Liu can't take care of himself, so how can he take care of me?"
Liu Bi was completely indifferent and turned around and walked towards the camp tiredly. Liu Jing followed him and said, "General, Uncle Liu will definitely come to save us."
Liu Pi's mouth showed a hint of mocking, "Is it because his nephew is here?"
"no"
Liu Jing said anxiously: "If he doesn't come to save us, he will not be the Uncle Liu. General, defending the camp to the death is our only way to live."
Liu Pi stopped and thought for a moment: "Maybe you are right. Uncle Liu is trustworthy in the world. If he doesn't come to save me, he will break his trust in the world."
Liu Pi's spirit was revived again and bowed to Liu Jing gratefully, "Thank you, young master, for resolving the doubts, Liu Pi almost missed the big thing."
He yelled, "Preserve the camp for me. If the camp is broken, no one can survive."
.........
Cao's five attacks were all repelled by the Yellow Turban Army using the right time and place, and more than a thousand people were killed or injured. Although Yu Jin was so angry that his eyes were full of fire, he had no choice but to order the attacking army to be withdrawn and attack the camp at night, which was indeed very unfavorable to them.
At this time, Gao Lan came hurriedly with two Yellow Turban prisoners of war, "General, this is the enemy patrol we caught, there is good news."
"What good news?" Yu Jin asked glared at the two prisoners of war.
Gao Lan kicked two Yellow Turban prisoners of war to kneel on the ground, "Speak quickly"
A Yellow Turban Army prisoner said tremblingly: "The food in the camp has been cut off, and you can only survive by killing horses, and you can hold on for up to five days."
This news made Yu Jin narrow his eyes. He pondered for a moment. Gao Lan stepped forward and said, "Since the enemy's food is cut off, it's better to surround them."
Yu Jin shook his head, "Liu Bei has fled west, the Prime Minister only gives us two days, I don't want to wait any longer."
He resolutely issued an order, "Tell me my order, the army will evacuate immediately."
............
At dawn, the Yellow Turban Army unexpectedly discovered that Cao's army had evacuated. The camp was cheering. Liu Pi was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "The army went down the mountain and evacuated eastward."
Liu Jing heard the order to go down the mountain and was anxious. He rushed to Liu Pi and shouted: "General, this is Cao's army's plan to lure troops. The entire army will be wiped out when going down the mountain and cannot be evacuated. People should be sent to send a letter to the emperor's uncle for help."
Liu Bi's food was cut off and he didn't want to kill the horse anymore. At this time, he could not listen to Liu Jing's advice. He looked angrily and said, "Who are you? How dare you disrupt our morale? I dare to say something more, I will kill you."
Liu Jing didn't expect him to turn against him so quickly. After a while, he could only sigh and said, "Okay, I wish the general a smooth journey."
Liu Pi sneered, "You pretend to be the emperor's nephew, do you want to run away now?"
He ordered, "Tie these two people together and bring them to the emperor's uncle."
