Three days later.

Pan Feng received a report from the whistle cavalry, saying that Cao Cao's army suddenly pulled the camp to the north, as if they were heading towards Taishan County.

Upon hearing this news, Pan Feng knew that Cao Cao wanted to join forces with Zang Ba of Taishan County.

Zang Ba was a brave man. Pan Feng did intend to surrender him at first, but after entering the Xuzhou territory, especially when passing by Taishan County, Zang Ba's actions came to Pan Feng's ears.

This made Pan Feng very disgusted with Zang Ba for a time, and he was even celebrating how to clean up the bandits in Taishan County after seizing Xuzhou.

Pan Feng is not Tao Qian. Tao Qian is weak and incompetent and cannot handle Zang Ba, so he can only let him run rampantly in Xuzhou.

If Pan Feng takes Xuzhou, the first person he has to deal with is Zang Ba!

At present, Cao Cao wants to join forces with Zang Ba, which is not a good thing for Pan Feng, but Pan Feng has more important things to do, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​sending troops to stop him.

In the mansion.

Pan Feng called Zhao Yun and Deng Long to the front.

"Liu Bei is a man who is extremely patient and has great ambitions. If he does not eliminate it today, he will definitely be a great trouble for the lord in the future. So I want you to take more than a hundred cavalry to ambush outside the city. Once Liu, Guan and Zhang pass by, be sure to leave them here!"

"No!" Deng Long responded in a deep voice.

Zhao Yun, who was standing aside, hesitated for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to say.

"General, General Su Su asked Liu Xuande to be a man of kindness and righteousness. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a person was killed? Why didn't the general try to subdue him and let him and his two brothers be used by the lord?"

The lord Liu Bei visited Zhao Yun in the past two days, and it was during the visit that Liu Bei left a very good impression on him. Otherwise, Zhao Yun would not dare to refute the order issued by Pan Feng.

Zhao Yun's words made Pan Feng realize that he had a hint of conspiracy.

"Zilong, have you ever met Liu Xuande?" Pan Feng asked.

Zhao Yun nodded after hesitating.

What a guy, Liu Bei was indeed secretly digging the corner of the Jizhou Army. No wonder he would have had such enthusiastic talks with Zhao Yun and Deng Long at the banquet.

At this time, Zhao Yun continued: "The day before yesterday, Xuande came to our mansion to talk to me for a long time. So I realized that many of Xuande's ideas are good ideas that benefit the country and the people. It's a pity that these ideas are useless."

"If Liu Xuande can surrender to his lord, it will definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the people of Jizhou, which will bring new development to Jizhou!"

Zhao Yun's words made Pan Feng feel a warning.

Liu Bei's ability to poach is indeed very powerful. No wonder Zhao Yun in history was poached by Liu Bei from Gongsun Zan.

"Zilong, don't be deceived by Liu Bei's illusion. Since you don't want to attack him, let me go in person, but I'll ask you for the matter in the city for the time being."

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and finally nodded slowly.

Although he had a good impression of Liu Bei, he was first a general of the Jizhou Army, and secondly, he was a person who had a good impression of Liu Bei.

What's more, Han Fu's kindness to the people was the only one who saw in his life, and Zhao Yun was willing to follow Han Fu.

Seeing Zhao Yun agreeing, Pan Feng didn't say anything more. After reminding him to be optimistic about Tao Qian in the city, he secretly left Xuzhou City with more than a hundred soldiers.

......

On the other hand, everyone in Liu Guanzhang's residence was packing their luggage and preparing to leave.

Leaving Xuzhou was Liu Bei's intention, because since that night's banquet, Liu Bei knew that his idea of ​​seizing Xuzhou was completely out of reach.

Compared with the giants like Jizhou, the power he possesses in Liu Xuande's hands is not worth mentioning at all.

Especially when Pan Feng is very wary of him and is very cautious.

Seeing that Xuzhou had no hope of planning, Liu Bei had to go south again to find other opportunities.

Today is the time for Liu Bei to leave Xuzhou.

What Liu Bei didn't know was that his actions had been betrayed by the servants in the mansion to Pan Feng, so Pan Feng could set up an ambush at the scheduled location before Liu Bei and others set off.

With a serious concern like Liu Bei, Pan Feng naturally would not let him slip away from his nose.

If Liu Bei had not had some reputation now, Pan Feng would not have wanted to be so sneaky. It would have been more reliable to lead a large army to surround Liu Bei's mansion and then capture it with the flow.

However, setting up an ambush outside the city is not very difficult. Just like Kong Rong before, as long as he did it cleaner, no one would know that Liu Xuande died at the hands of him, Pan Feng.

In the mansion, Liu Guan and Zhang, who had packed their luggage, met in the hall.

The three of them all bowed with their own salutes, and there was not even a servant following them.

"Brother, are we really going to leave Xuzhou?" Zhang Fei asked in a deep voice.

Pan Feng, who had crippled Liu Bei's ears, was in Xuzhou City. Zhang Fei wanted to find an opportunity to avenge Pan Feng, but Liu Bei quietly asked them to pack up their greetings and prepare to leave.

This puzzled Zhang Fei, but he had to listen to his elder brother's words.

Although Guan Yu, who was standing beside him, had a hint of doubt on his face.

Before the arrival of the Jizhou army, they had been in Xuzhou for a while and showed their faces in front of the important civil and military officials of Xuzhou. The three of them were also well-known in Xuzhou.

This situation will inevitably lead to a failure of all previous efforts.

And all this is just because of one person: Pan Feng!

With Guan Yu's pride, he could not accept this shame of almost running away, but the elder brother's words were the most harsh orders for him, and he had to obey them.

But now seeing Zhang Fei speak, he also wants to hear why his elder brother is so hasty.

Is Pan Feng really that scary?

How did Liu Bei not understand his two brothers? When Zhang Fei asked, he also said bluntly: "Pan Feng is now in control of the situation in Xuzhou. The reason why he didn't attack us this time is not that he didn't want to deal with us, but that he just didn't know how to do it."

"The most important thing for Pan Feng at the moment is to stabilize Mr. Tao, and the driver will seize Xuzhou. Once Pan Feng takes Xuzhou, the next step to deal with us who oppose him will be us who oppose him. Instead of being surrounded by Pan Feng's army, it is better to leave now while Pan Feng has not taken control of Xuzhou."

"After leaving Xuzhou, I planned to surrender to Liu Jingsheng in the south. In my opinion, no one of the princes in the Central Plains can threaten Jizhou. Only the southern region can compete with the Jizhou army with the help of waters. So if we want to defeat Pan Feng, the only way out is the south!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu stopped talking.

Although Liu Bei's words made the people on their side as humble as a dog with a broken family, the facts were not much different from what Liu Bei said.

Facing Pan Feng's army, the force of the three brothers is really no different from the stray dog.

"Since we are about to go south, I wonder how our brother and Zhao Yun are talking about?" Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei sighed when he heard this: "Zilong is indeed a kind and righteous man. If possible, I really want to create a great cause with him. Unfortunately, Zilong has a good impression of the Korean Festival. He said bluntly that the Korean Festival is one of the few wise rulers in the world. With Pan Feng's assistance, the lives of the people in the entire Jizhou territory are changing with each passing day and thriving."

"What a pity, it's too late to meet Zilong."

When Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei praise Zhao Yun like this, he was upset: "Hmph! Zhao Yun is just ungrateful. The eldest brother can't impress him. Look, he is just greedy for the military post given to him by Jizhou. What's the use of such a profit-oriented villain? We might as well go south by ourselves."

Liu Bei was not stopped by Zhang Fei's abuse. Zhao Yun was not here anyway. So what if Zhao Fei scolded him a few times?

"The time is almost over, let's set off." Liu Bei said and walked out of the mansion.

......

On a highway thirty miles south of Xuzhou City.

A team of about twenty people was protecting three carriages and slowly heading south.

This group of people was Liu Guanzhang and others who left the city.

Although all the soldiers and horses in their hands were broken in the battle with Cao's army, the few personal guards who followed were not dead. As they headed south, they just asked their personal guards to escort their family's carriage.

In front of the team, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rode a tall horse with calm expressions.

Behind the rear, the voices of several women were vaguely heard from the swaying carriage.

After leaving the city, Liu Bei and others were not blocked, so they quickly followed the official road and left the territory of Xuzhou City.

It was already a little dark in this matter. Liu Bei thought about his family in the carriage and said, "There is a valley not far ahead, and I will spend the night in the valley today."

"promise!"

The group walked forward for a while and finally arrived at the location of the valley where Liu Bei mentioned.

It was already dark for this matter, and Liu Bei asked to camp and prepare for the night.

It was obviously not the first time the guards in the convoy set up camp in the wild. They started working quickly without Liu Bei's mouth. In just a moment, a simple tent was erected.

After hiding into the warm tent, Liu Bei felt a little more comfortable.

"The weather outside is so cold. Please prepare more firewood and don't turn it off at night."

"promise!"

Liu Bei and others simply ate a meal and then retreated back to the camp to prepare for rest.

The camp gradually became quiet, with only the occasional rapid cold wind whistling.

Just as Liu Bei and others were relaxing their vigilance, a team of soldiers wearing thick armor approached the outside of the camp in the dark.

In the darkness, the fire in the camp seemed particularly obvious, providing the most intuitive goal for all the soldiers lying on the road.

At this time, only Pan Feng and his party who set out in advance would be ambushed Liu Bei.

After waiting for a day, Pan Feng finally waited for Liu Bei and the others.

Seeing that Liu Bei's camp had calmed down, Pan Feng then led his soldiers to approach him slowly.

Pan Feng dared not be careless about Liu Bei, who had the strongest vitality in the Romance, even if the hundred soldiers he brought were all good soldiers in the army, he would not dare to be careless!

"Zi Ju, take half of your brothers to the other side to block the road. You must never let any of Liu, Guan and Zhang escape. The remaining people follow me to attack the camp." Pan Feng said in a suppressed voice.
