Above the vast Yangtze River, a layer of water mist filled the air. In that fog, hundreds of ships are transporting many soldiers and materials to the other side.

Liu Xian sat in the boat, looking at the vast Yangtze River, could not help but play a haircut. There is no surge in his heart, but only a faint feeling of sleepiness. “Did the consigliere not sleep well yesterday?”

At this time, Zhang Xun's voice rang out.

This time by boat to the south, Liu Bei found a building boat, with Liu Xian Zhang Fei and others sat on the boat built with the drawings drawn by Liu Xian. Liu Xian did not want to talk, so he came to the stern of the boat to rest. Zhang Xun did not want to follow all the way up.

Liu Xian heard, smiled and said:

“These days are very worried, so it is difficult to sleep peacefully!”

Zhang Xun heard slightly nodded and said:

“The consigliere has the responsibility of the entire army, and has considered so much that he is even the same as the Lord! It's only natural that you can't sleep well!”

Liu Xian heard a smile and looked at Zhang Xun:

“I wonder how General feels these days? “

Zhang Xun made his way to Liu Xian's side and said.

“Your Excellency treats people as if they are in the spring breeze, and it is really reassuring.”

Liu Xian nodded:

“It's good to get used to it, the Lord is not very organized, very good to get along with.”

Said, will look at the river, no longer say more. Zhang Xun saw this, laughed and said:

“Since I joined the Lord, although I know the wisdom of the consigliere, but there are still a lot of places I do not understand, can I ask the consigliere for some advice?”

Liu Xian turned his head and nodded:

“General Zhang and ask!”

Zhang Xun said with a straight face:

“Last time when I was in Guangling, I heard that it was the consigliere who discovered that there was an ambush in our army, may I ask how the consigliere discovered it? “

Liu Xian heard a smile, and immediately said the reason that day to Liu Bei and others. Once Zhang Xun heard this, he suddenly realized that:

“So that's how it is! Indeed, it is still the consigliere who is powerful!”

He knew that when Yuan Shu heard that he had only repelled Liu Bei's small attack, he was so angry that he scolded all of them, so several of them were very puzzled about this matter, and now it was sort of unraveled.

His elegant face immediately came to the interest, and then asked Liu Xian why he would offer to seize the plan of Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province). Liu Xian although strange, but still will be the day planning to say.

Zhang Xun heard, immediately clapped his hands and laughed:

“Wonderful plan! Wonderful plan ah!”

Liu Xian saw this, could not help but wonder:

“General is not prefer this military strategy thing?”

“Hehehe .....”

Zhang Xun stroked his long beard in embarrassment and said:

“I do not like other things in my life, just like these command tactics. Coincidentally, before under General Yuan's account, there are also two people and I quite talk to!”

Liu Xian heard this, laughed:

“Is it Sun Ce, Zhou Yu?”

Zhang Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this and said:

“The consigliere also knows Sun Ce and Zhou Yu?”

Said he stroked his long beard and said:

“They are all outstanding people, if we can accept them as our army's people, it is a great pleasure in this life!”

......

While they were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard a messenger report from the bow of the ship:

“My lord, there is a battle in the direction of Qu'a (Danyang City, Jiangsu Province)!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xian frowned and got up to walk towards the bow of the ship. He didn't notice that Zhang Xun had the second half of his sentence, which was not very loud:

“However, I have a good friend for Qiao Lei, his brother-in-law, but there are two daughters, good posture...”

But the words did not fall, the military situation has arisen, Zhang Xun also did not have the heart of the conversation, hastily toward the bow of the boat. At the bow of the boat, a messenger holding a small boat, reporting military intelligence said:

“My lord, scouts report that Sun Ce's army is fighting with Liu Cao in Qu'a (present day Danyang City, Jiangsu Province)!”

Liu Bei heard this and looked at Liu Xian and said:

“Liu Xian, what now?”

Liu Xian's heart sank when he heard this, it seems that this is the battle of Qu'a (present day Danyang City, Jiangsu Province) where Sun Ce defeated Liu Cao!

He busily said:

“Lord, quickly dock, first let some soldiers ashore, quickly go to rescue Qu'a (present-day Danyang City, Jiangsu Province), do not let Sun Ce seize Qu'a (present-day Danyang City, Jiangsu Province)!”

“Uh!”

Liu Xian's face sank, Liu Cao was also a Han clan member, he would feel guilty in his heart if he died in battle, so he arranged for it right away. After another half an hour (two hours today), the army docked and hurriedly began the landing. Liu Xian looked at the map and waited for the army to disembark. Seeing that Qu'a is about to be taken, Liu Xian said in a deep voice.

“My Lord, how many troops have landed now?”

Liu Bei looked at the troops ashore and said in a deep voice:

“About four thousand!”

Seeing this, Liu Xian clenched his teeth and said:

“No more waiting! If Qu'a (present-day Danyang City, Jiangsu Province) falls, our army will lose its foothold! Let's go to help quickly!”

Liu Bei looks at Liu Xian's face, and immediately orders him to personally lead the army with Zhang Fei and Liu Xian to go to the rescue, while Jian Yong and the others stay in place and wait for the landing. Four thousand men and horses immediately rushed toward the direction of Qu'a.

After traveling for about two hours, an army appeared on the main road, with a depressed appearance, obviously a defeated army. The two armies met, and the situation became extremely tense. Liu Bei saw this, his heart sank, and he said aloud:

“Isn't it Liu Cao in front of us? “

The words just fell, suddenly heard a thick voice excitedly said:

“ahead is not Liu Bei?”

Liu Bei busy said:

“Exactly Liu Bei!”

As soon as these words came out, the mellow voice in the opposing army immediately rejoiced and said:

“We are saved, Liu Bei is here!”

Said, a tall general galloped out, that tall general all black armor, jaw beard quite long, horse treasure carved bow, back double halberd, hand spear, extremely stout. He came to the front of Liu Bei's army and said:

“I haven't seen you for several years, do you still remember Tai Shi Ci (Liu Cao's subordinate)?”

Liu Bei was overjoyed at his words and said:

“Tai Shi Ci?”

Taishi Ci saw this and rejoiced:

“I am indeed Liu Bei! I wonder why I am here?”

Liu Xian is behind Liu Bei, he heard this and said:

“We heard that Sun Ce attacked Huiji (present-day Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province), and we are here to help Liu Cao! How is Qu'a (present-day Danyang City, Jiangsu Province)? “

Tai Shi Ci listened to the expression of darkness, said:

“Qu'a (present-day Danyang City, Jiangsu Province) has now fallen, we are retreating to Dantu (present-day Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province)!”

Liu Xian heard the heart of a shock, Qu'a (present-day Danyang City, Jiangsu Province) has fallen, this opening can not open a good ah! At this time, behind Taishi Ci, Liu Cao Lang said:

“Liu Bei come forward, can you come forward to talk?!”
