"Quick, hurry, hurry!" Liu Mang's army was already whipping up. He didn't even have time to reorganize the thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so he got on the warship and prepared to arrange them to Ganning first. These Xiliang Iron Cavalry were on war horses, which were the world's first-class heavy armored cavalry, but when they got off the war horses, or on the water, they would really become lambs to be slaughtered. Liu Mang's main army was heading towards Shouchun on the water route. Shouchun must not be lost. There are too many important things about Liu Mang in Shouchun. Once Shouchun is lost, it can be said that the whole of Yangzhou will be gone, Yangzhou is gone, and all Liu Mang's efforts will become the wedding dress for others. Not only are they invented in Shouchun, but the sweet potatoes that have been buried in the Yangzhou land will also become Liu Bei's spoils, so Shouchun cannot be lost.

The speed of walking along the Huaihe River is very fast! It takes nearly three days for the cavalry to go from Shouchun to Guangzhou, but the water route only takes half of it. If it weren't for passing Lujiang County, they might have been faster and they would have arrived in Shouchun within two days.

...

The time of a day passes very quickly, soon, the sun sets, and then the moon becomes deeper, and it is difficult for the moon to set again. This is the law of all things in the world. He will not stop his steps because of a certain person.

"Military advisor!" Zhao Yun came to Shouchun's prefect's mansion at the third update. He came to the city wall with Xu Shu at this time every morning. When he saw Xu Shu in the hall, Xu Shu just sat on the desk, motionless and silent.

Zhao Yun looked at Xu Shu, he remembered that when he left last night, Xu Shu was wearing this outfit, and it is still the same now. This shows that his military advisor never left the conference hall this night, and he has been here forever, never sleeping all night!

"Military advisor!" Zhao Yun shouted again. At this time, Xu Shu heard Zhao Yun's voice and turned around.

"Zilong is here!" Xu Shu's voice was very hoarse. When he turned around, Zhao Yun was stunned because the military advisor in front of him was still the same as Xu Shu who was wielding and sternly commanding Xu Yuanzhi, but became extremely vicissitudes. You must know that although Xu Shu was older than Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, he was only a few years older. Xu Shu was in a prime age, but now Xu Shu was extremely haggard, his eyes were covered with blood. The corners of his mouth were very dry, and he looked like he was in a prime age. Even Zhao Yun saw that Xu Shu's temples had turned gray. Xu Shu was still black in hair one day ago! His head was so sad, sorrowful, sorrowful.

"Military advisor. You!" Zhao Yun didn't know what to say. His words were blocked in his throat, but he wanted to say it but couldn't say it.

"Sit, sit!" Compared to Zhao Yun's not knowing what to say, Xu Shu felt a little free and easy. Although he was very haggard, Xu Shu's free and easy freedom was still there. He even invited Zhao Yun to sit down and even wanted to pour tea for Zhao Yun, but the tea had already been cold and had been left overnight.

"Zilong, are you willing to bear this Shouchun City?!" Xu Shu seemed a little out of shape.

"Shouchun?" Zhao Yun didn't know how to answer. Do you have any feelings for Shouchun? He, Zhao Yun, has only been in Shouchun City for several months. If it weren't for Hefei, Shouchun might have been just a passerby to him, Zhao Yun, but now he has fought for him for half a month, and protected the ancient capital with his spear on the Shouchun City Wall.

"I can't bear to let go, I can't bear to let go!" Xu Shu replied by himself, and his words were full of desolation. "My lord, give these five counties of Yangzhou to me, Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi. I, Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, swear to guarantee that I, Xu Shu, will surely protect Yangzhou. But now! Haha, Gushi Hefei was broken, and Anfeng even fell in sight. Now only Lujiang County and Shouchun are still in our hands, Lujiang is just a village! But this Shouchun is the key to Yangzhou, but now, I, Xu Shu, is incompetent, and I can't even protect such a last city!" Everyone is drunk without being drunk. Xu Shu drank tea, but it seemed like it was a fine wine, which made him completely lost.

"Military advisor, Shouchun will not be lost!" Zhao Yun said resolutely. "As long as I, Zhao Yun, are still here, I will not let Liu Bei's army step into this Shouchun!"

"Haha, Zilong, useless, useless!" Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "If Shouchun is not lost, the life of the mistress will not be guaranteed!" Pang Tong gave the condition to exchange Shouchun City for Lu Qiling's life.

As a minister, Xu Shu could not ignore the life of his mistress, just like Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong were in and out in seven times. They were loyal and righteous, so they decided that some things they had to do. In other words, even if Shouchun City was broken, as long as Lu Qiling was still alive, then Liu Mang had a way out to retreat and could force him to retreat to Lujiang County, and planned to make a comeback. If Miss Lu died and died under Shouchun, then Liu Mang's army would really have no way out. He would not be able to get through Lu Bu's place.

.Because the relationship between Liu Mang's army and Lu Bu's army was completely cut off. In this way, his master Liu Mang would have to bear the infatuation of ungratefulness, because everything in Yangzhou could be said to be developed with the support of Lu Bu. Even if Liu Mang was plotted by others, Lu Bu gave all the Lu Bu to support him. If Miss Lu died in Shouchun, Liu Mang would not be blamed. Xu Shu could not let his lord bear the infatuation, so he could only resist!

Xu Shu had long said that Shouchun City was in his place, Xu Shu was in his place, and Shouchun City was destroyed and Xu Shu was destroyed, and the mistress had to be saved, and the price of saving was to exchange this thousand-year-old ancient city for Shouchun.

"Zilong, if Shouchun City is broken, Zilong, I will teach you everything about the mistress! You must send the mistress to the lord safely!" Xu Shu looked at Zhao Yun and said, as if he was giving his last words.

"Military advisor, you!" Zhao Yun also heard this and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Military advisor, although Zilong has some martial arts skills, he does not have the plan of a military advisor, and he may not be competent! He also asked the military advisor to take back the entrustment."

Xu Shu did not reply to Zhao Yun directly, but looked at the sky outside the hall, which was getting darker. "Let's go, Zilong, it's time for us to welcome the mistress back!"

...

Outside Shouchun City, Liu Bei’s army camp, Pang Tong walked to a quiet night sky on a flat ground. He also looked at the thousand-year-old ancient city in front of him.

"Shi Yuan, you can't sleep either!" A voice interrupted when Pang Tong was thinking. Pang Tong turned around and saw the visitor clasping his fists at the visitor.

"Lord!" The person who came was Liu Bei's army's commander, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

Liu Bei couldn't sleep either. When he thought that the Shouchun City would be his, Liu Bei, how could he sleep? "Shi Yuan, with Shi Yuan, I, Liu Bei, would be really lucky in three lives. If I take this Shouchun and win the Central Plains, Shi Yuan should be my greatest hero!" Liu Bei was not stingy with his praise. It was not the plan to win the Central Plains set by Pang Tong for him. Maybe Liu Bei would really be in the development of Yuzhou and missed a lot of opportunities. In the end, Lao Cao was driven around. Now, there was Pang Tong. Liu Bei's army really had a direction. Now he took Yangzhou and then plotted against Zhang Xiu, then Liu Bei's territory could span three states, plus tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses, and he had heavy armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry. When he went to Xuzhou and Yangzhou in Yangzhou, he could dominate the Central Plains and the world, and Yangzhou was the first step in his great cause.

"Thank you, lord!" Pang Tong was very calm this time, because he couldn't sleep tonight, not because of the joy of Shouchun City being taken down. On the contrary, he was a little worried, because he knew that after Shouchun City was taken down, he was afraid that one of Pang Tong's friends would leave forever, Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, you are just straight but not round, ah! Pang Tong shook his head with a sigh.

It was getting bright soon, and both forces inside and outside the city began to make preparations.

At the fifth hour, Liu Bei's army had already gathered. Yesterday they negotiated with Xu Shu when the food was approaching Si Shi, so it was at this time of day. Liu Bei's army was waiting for Xu Shu to open the city gate.

"Shi Yuan, do you think Xu Shu will regret it?! He is ready to defend Shouchun City to the death, what should he do?" Liu Bei was still a little worried.

Pang Tong didn't say anything at first, and waited for him to look at the Shouchun City Wall, and then he calmly said to Liu Bei, "Don't worry, lord, we have settled down in Shouchun City today!" Pang Tong's words were very firm.

"Well? Why is Shiyuan?!" Liu Bei didn't understand why Pang Tong could get such a positive answer after looking around the city wall.

"Lord, look at this city wall! Is there anything missing compared to usual?" Pang Tong pointed to the wall of Shouchun City and asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei followed Pang Tong's pointing to look at the ancient city wall in Shouchun. What was missing? Flags, soldiers, and war drums were all missing. There were no war generals on inspection. Liu Bei suddenly reacted, "The war generals are missing!"

"Yes, lord!" Pang Tong explained calmly that in the past, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun would appear on the city wall at the fifth day of the day. Their arrival was not only to command the battle, but also to calm people's hearts. However, none of these two people appeared today. If Xu Shu made up his mind to defend Shouchun to the death, then he would definitely come to the city wall early today to cheer up his soldiers, so that he could resist the next crazy attack of Liu Bei's army, but Xu Shu did not, and even Zhao Yun was not there, which only means that these two people no longer had the will to fight to the death.

"Wait for peace of mind! Shouchun City will be ours soon!" Before Pang Tong's words could be done, a scout rushed over with a horse, got off the horse and knelt down in front of Liu Bei and others.

"Report to the lord, yes, yes, and heavy armored cavalry, who rushed from Hefei!" The scout said it was very difficult because he had traveled a long distance and came to report it urgently.

"Heavy Armored Cavalry?" Liu Bei and his group were stunned on the spot. Now in Yangzhou, who has the heavy Armored Cavalry? The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry has been destroyed and should be still resting. The only ones are the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is here. Where is there a second heavy Armored Cavalry?

"The direction of Hefei is really Bingzhou wolf cavalry!" Pang Tong asserted that the only one who can gallop from Hefei is Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Now the cavalry that can be established in this Central Plains area is Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

"He Lu Bu Lu Feng really wanted to destroy the Bingzhou wolf cavalry first!" Zhang Xiu, who was beside him, grinned open his mouth, revealing a hint of ferociousness. Logically speaking, half of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry died last time, and now the Bingzhou wolf cavalry should be resting, not moving. When he was full, he was not an opponent, and now only half of the troops are not even worse.

Pang Tong couldn't understand it either. You should know that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry still has great strength. Although Liu Mang killed a group of people in Guangzhou, there are nearly 10,000 people in his hands now. Lu Bu is really tired of living such a Xiliang Iron Cavalry! Pang Tong shook his head. He was not the time to consider this now. No matter what Lu Bu thought, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would never allow him to reach the city of Shouchun, because the Miss Lu in their hands was fake. If the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry shouted like this under the city, the Shouchun City would definitely not be able to take it down. Pang Tong would ask the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Zhang Xiu to intercept the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Who knew that Pang Tong hadn't said anything yet, Zhang Xiu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Duke Xuande, let me leave this Bingzhou wolf cavalry!" Because Pang Tong's plan could not use him to take Shouchun, he might as well intercept Bingzhou wolf cavalry. And there was another reason. His thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry were killed by Liu Mang in Guangzhou. He wanted to regain his face. Since Guangzhou could not be gone, he would destroy the thousands of Bingzhou wolf cavalry first. If he could not find any small trouble, he would first find trouble for his father-in-law. Zhang Xiu would have to regain this face no matter what.

"Then I'll ask you to do everything!" Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's relationship has increased greatly now, and they have begun to call each other brothers. Some people are willing to help send troops to Liu Bei and are happy that if he tells it himself, he will inevitably owe favors again.

"General Zhang Xiu, be careful, just drive away the Bingzhou wolf cavalry!" I don't know why Pang Tong always had a bad premonition, so he instructed Zhang Xiu before going separately.
