Liu Bei sat on an old tree lying beside the tree, shaved the mud on the soles of his boots with a horse whip, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jian Yong stood aside with his hands, looking at the sky on the south side from time to time. Knights kept coming from the official road to the south, sending the battle situation ahead to Liu Bei. Tian Yu was bitten by Ju Hu, and both sides were entangled. However, Liu Bei was not concerned about the war between them. Although Tian Yu had only more than a thousand people under his command, he was more than enough to deal with Ju Hu. What he cared about was Tuo Yi who was following Ju Hu.

Tuo Yi was the first general under Yuan Shao's command. He became famous in Jieqiao. In recent years, he has been fighting with the Heishan Army in Xishan. He has rich experience and elite subordinates are good at fighting. Because of this, he won the favor of Yuan Shao as a stranger, took on the task of a vanguard general, and commanded more than 10,000 people to pursue him.

The situation is very clear. Yuan Shao wanted to use the quick knife of Kuo Yi to smear the morale of the Youzhou army and win the lead.

Zhang Ze saw this, so he wanted to do the opposite and let Liu Bei fight against Tuo Yi, damaging the morale of the Jizhou army and laying the foundation for the subsequent battle to defend the city. During the military discussion, this task was originally planned to be handed over to Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Ce was strong, not only with 5,000 cavalrymen, but also with 20,000 infantrymen, and had the experience of fighting with Tuo Yi many times. It was reasonable for him to fight Tuo Yi. However, Gongsun Zan pretended to be deaf and mute, ignoring Zhang Ze's repeated hints, and finally the task fell on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei accepted the task, but he was very uneasy. The Youzhou Army seemed to have a lot of troops, but each had its own ulterior motives. Not only could it be said that there was no cooperation, but it was necessary to guard against someone who was behind the scenes. It was not easy to win this battle. Tian Chou, Yan Rou and others were eyeing Gongsun Zan, so Gongsun Zan was also careful about those people. Even if he was against him, Gongsun Zan was not at ease. It was just that the situation was forced and he needed his support, so he had a little fake color. By the time Yuan Shao was defeated, there would be wars within Youzhou, so no one would want to lose too much at this time.

Of course he didn't want to, but he had his plans. Strong strength is not just about the number of people, but also about whether he is well-trained and whether he has practical experience. Those who have not been trained are just a group of mobs, and those who have not been tested in practice can never be called elites. The real elites are all produced. Sun Ce was like this at the beginning. He not only focused on training, but also on actual combat. The summary of experience after actual combat is the top priority, especially the experience of failure and frustration. Without practical experience, no matter how well he trains, he is still a fancy.

He has been practicing soldiers in Youzhou for a year, and it is time to use actual combat to test it.

"Chang Yun, Yide has been ambushed?"

"Amnesty is ready," said Jian Yong.

"What did Yun Chang say?"

Jian Yong smiled. "It's nothing, I just asked why I didn't let him take the lead."

"What did you say?"

"I said that Qingdao Yanyue is a famous sword in the world. It is a tiger and bear, Juhu and a child, and the country will give it a try."

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing out loud and said to his clan brother Liu Xiu, "Deran, listen, Xianhe's eloquence is getting better and better. His mouth is much sharper than the knife in Yun Chang's hand."

Liu Xiu was Liu Bei's cousin. His father Liu Yuanqi once sponsored Liu Bei's schooling. When Liu Bei was not at home, he also took care of Liu Bei's widowed mother. The two families had a good relationship. After Liu Bei returned to Youzhou, he brought him out and served as a personal guard Sima by his side, responsible for daily life and personal protection.

"Yes, Xianhe went to Central Plains and had better eloquence."

Jian Yong smiled but said nothing. Liu Bei shook his horse whip, stood up, and looked south. "Tell me the order, let the country go and fight and retreat, and lead the Ju sw into the turtle."

"Here." Liu Xiu responded and turned to make arrangements. After a moment, a knight ran away.

Tian Yu held the reins and looked at the soldiers who were fighting with a light brow. Ju Hu chased him very hard and attacked very cautiously. He only sent a single infantry to conduct a tentative attack. The main force kept guarding from a safe distance and did not give him a chance to attack.

"Although this kid is young, he is not greedy for me. He is worthy of being Ju Su's son." Tian Yu sighed lightly and ordered the guard Qu to attack. He kicked the war horse hard and ran out. The guard Qu followed closely and rushed out of the formation.

A song of the Jizhou soldiers who were fighting against Tian Yu's subordinates saw Tian Yu attacking, and they might go around behind him, cut off his own way, and immediately ordered a change of formation. From an assault formation to a defensive camp, defending and waiting for support. They are the Ju family's army. As long as they can hold on, Ju Hu will come to take over soon.

Seeing Tian Yu's battle flag shaking and attacking himself, Ju Hu did respond. He arranged two songs to surround him and face Tian Yu, and to win more than less, and to try to capture Tian Yu. Even if he couldn't do it, he would trap Tian Yu and wait for the robes behind to arrive for reinforcements. Tian Yu is a general under Liu Bei's command. If he could catch him, it would be a small achievement, and he might even force Liu Bei to return to the rescue.

Ju Hu led the Ju family's troops, and their equipment was better than ordinary soldiers. Under the guidance of Qu Yi, he trained strictly, and his combat effectiveness was not as good as Qu Yi's 800-sword shield soldiers, but was stronger than other troops. At this moment, he was full of confidence with more and more determined to capture Tian Yu alive.

But he soon realized that the situation was not very good. Tian Yu led the guards to come, and did not attack the companions who were changing formations, nor did he face the people surrounding the left and right. Instead, he came to him. After more than two hundred steps of running, their speed not only did not decrease, but was faster, especially Tian Yu and the dozen knights around him rode their horses and ran wildly. Before he could react, Tian Yu had already rushed to him.

"Kill!" Tian Yu let out a long roar, and the spear in his hand broke out from the wind, and picked two guards who came to meet and blocked them, and killed them in front of Ju Hu. Ju Hu was shocked. While calling the guards to come forward to protect them, he took off the steel round shield from the saddle, protected his face and chest, and at the same time pulled out the sword at his waist and prepared to fight back.

With a crisp sound, Tian Yu's spear stabbed the round shield. Although it did not penetrate, it knocked Juhu down from the horse's back. Juhu caught him off guard and fell to the ground on his back, causing his internal organs to move, making his head dizzy. He watched Tian Yu jump over from above him, subconsciously curled up to protect his face.

Tian Yu succeeded with a blow and immediately rushed into the Juhu formation. His spear flew over and killed two more, passing through the formation. Taking advantage of the circling horses, he looked at the distance. The smoke and dust rolled on the official road in the distance, and the flags were vaguely visible. Tian Yu secretly shouted in his heart that there was a sign of cavalry approaching quickly. He led infantrymen, and only thirty knights around him could be used. If he met a built-in cavalry, there would be more danger.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Tian Yu stopped hesitating and rode his horse back.

Seeing this, Juhu's subordinates instinctively avoided everywhere. No matter how strong the infantry was, they could not fight the rushing knights head-on, let alone Tian Yu came from behind. As soon as they made a move, they exposed Juhu who was still sitting on the ground and not getting up. Tian Yu was overjoyed and ran wildly. When he passed by Juhu, he leaned over and grabbed Juhu's arm, lifted him on the back of the horse, and threw it to the personal guards of the knights beside him.

"Quickly, give it to the Lord of the Mansion."

"Now" The knight of the personal guard took Ju Hu and kicked the horse out of the formation. One person took the lead. Two people covered him. Three horses left the formation and ran northward. Tian Yu broke through Ju Hu's main formation, and bypassed the Naqu soldiers who were guarding the formation, and shouted to his subordinates to retreat. The credit for catching Ju Hu was much greater than that of killing. He no longer cared about killing a few more people, but just wanted to withdraw his subordinates as much as possible before the opponent's cavalry arrived.
