Chapter 2 An Ox Cart

Just half an hour later, more than 12,000 soldiers under Gongdu's troops were killed and injured, and only a few soldiers were able to escape, and the captured civilian soldiers were almost killed in the melee.

The Cao army cavalry seized some of the food and grass, and the rest burned it. Six thousand cavalry turned around and rushed to Ancheng to the south.

It was already dark, and blood was everywhere in the vast wilderness. Groups of wild dogs appeared, eating corpses. It was particularly important to stay away from the battlefield at this time.

Liu Jian ran for more than twenty miles in one breath. He was very smart. After running into the woods, he circled a big circle and ran northwest. There was the way the cavalry came from, so that he could avoid the cavalry.

He ran into a low hill, with lush trees and no longer dangerous here. He found a big rock to sit down, gasping for rest, and the few civilians who escaped with him had all escaped, leaving him alone.

Liu Jian sighed. It has been three days since he arrived in this era. Until this time, he could calm down and think about some questions.

In fact, he could already guess when it was now. He was familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He heard some civilians talk about Runan County, "Runan County, Cao Army, and Yellow Turban Army" and linked these clues together, and he understood a little.

This should be that Liu Bei came out of Yuan Shao, took over Liu Pi from Runan, and the remaining troops of Gongdu's Yellow Turban Army, and was preparing to attack Xudu, but was defeated by Cao Cao.

Yes! It is the sixth year of Jian'an, and Liu Jian suddenly remembered that the next step, Liu Bei should go to Liu Biao, Jingzhou.

So, where should I go? Go to join Liu Biao, or?









To surrender to Cao Cao, of course, should he surrender to Cao Cao, but what is he relying on?

Liu Jian felt a chaotic heart and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

At this time, his stomach was rumbling and he reached out to touch his arms, but unexpectedly found that there was still half a pancake, as if it had not been eaten at noon. He was overjoyed. Having this half pancake would be enough to support it until tomorrow morning.

Liu Jian took out the cake and bite it for a few bites. The Han Dynasty did not understand the fermentation technique and made them all with solid bread. They were very strong and difficult to bite, and even more dry and difficult to swallow. Therefore, this kind of cake is also called water-inducing cake. It must be broken and soaked in water to eat.

The cake was really hard to swallow, and the throat was dry and burning. Liu Jian stood up and looked around. He needed to find a stream.

This is a low and gentle hill, only slightly higher than the plain, but it is more than ten miles in a radius. The entire hill is covered by lush forests. There is an east-west official road in the middle of the forest, which is the only way to go west to Jingxiang.

There were many strange noises in the woods at night, and the shrill screams of the night owls came from time to time, which was creepy. Without self-defense, he did not dare to walk in the woods.

War broke out in Runan County, and killed people were everywhere, and groups of wild dogs were running around in the wilderness. Once they were caught, they would undoubtedly die.

Liu Jian walked west along the official road and walked about two or three miles away. He found a fork in front of him. After listening carefully, he seemed to have a gurgling sound of water flowing in front of the fork.

Liu Jian was overjoyed and ran towards the fork in the road. After about a hundred steps, he saw a small river ten feet wide, winding through the woods. The moonlight shone through the treetops on the riverside, making it a little bit of half-light and half-dark mystery.

But Liu Jian stopped running a dozen steps away, staring at the back of a bush.











Behind the bushes was a ox cart that had overturned. A thick wooden wheel was raised high. Several dead people were lying around. An old man was lying under the wheel and was cut to the point of blood. The coachman hung it on the shaft and was hit by several arrows on his back. A man in white was lying not far away.

There was also a corpse in the car. It was a teenager, about fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as him, quite tall, only a little shorter than him, he was shot several times and covered in blood.

Liu Jian sighed. In troubled times, people are worse than dogs. These people seem to have some identity, but what is the use of identity? In troubled times, you have to run and hide like yourself in order to escape.

At this moment, he suddenly found that the man in white seemed to move. Liu Jian was stunned. Is this person not dead yet?

He quickly stepped forward. This was a middle-aged man. He had a stick in the back of his head, and it was bloody and there seemed to be no injuries elsewhere. He reached out and touched the man's nose, and his breath, and seemed to have just fainted.

He tore off the man's robe, soaked some water in the river, slowly squeezed into the man's mouth, and wiped his forehead.

Perhaps it was water that worked, and the man slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Liu Jian hazyly and said in a low voice: "I met... Cao's cavalry, tell Liu Zhoumu..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted again. Liu Jian scratched his head and felt a headache. He didn't say clearly which Liuzhou master was. He was Liu Bei, Yuzhou master, Liu Biao, or Yizhou master? These three people seemed to be Liuzhou master.

Liu Jian put down the man and looked around in the ox cart. He was a little disappointed with nothing except some broken bamboo slips. Even if he had a knife!

He looked around again and tried to look away as far as possible. Suddenly, he seemed to see something in a bush more than ten steps away?

Liu Jian quickly stepped forward and found a skin in the grass. The skin was heavy, which surprised him. How could he be thrown into the grass?

He quickly opened the skin and jumped into his eyes. The scabbard was decorated with luxurious decoration, wrapped in gold and silver threads, and inlaid with a few gems. He drew out the scabbard. The white blade was extremely sharp, and it was obvious that it was a precious sword.

At this moment, if he was alert, he had an instinct to avoid danger that he had learned from countless hunting trips. This instinct made him turn to the left and get out one foot away.

‘Swoosh! Swoosh!’ There was a sound of breaking through the air, and two arrows shot back and forth, shooting right at the position just now.

Only then did Liu Jian realize that two Cao army soldiers appeared one after another, holding spears and crossbows in their hands, and surrounded him silently.

These were two Cao army cavalry, and they hid the skin in the grass. When they came back quietly to get it, they found that they had been picked up, which made them angry.

"Boy, put down the things!" a soldier roared fiercely.

Liu Jian put down his skin, but pulled out his short sword and stared at the other party with sharp eyes. The two blocked his way to escape. What wasn't they going to kill him?

He has already made his promise. Even if he dies, he will kill one and earn back his original purpose.

"Boy, I really don't want to live anymore."

A soldier threw down his bow and arrow, shouted and rushed forward, and stabbed Liu Jian with a fierce spear. The two soldiers were Xiahou Yuan's cavalry patrol patrols. They were originally from the Qingzhou Army, well-trained and very strong fighting ability. However, their military discipline was relatively poor, and it was common for them to kill and rob.

If they hadn't been afraid that the sound of horse hooves would alarm Liu Jian and were swam and fleeing, the two would have been riding horses and slashed. Although they were not riding horses at this time, they were still extremely fierce.

Liu Jian dodged the thorn, rolled forward, and rushed to the soldiers with great speed, slashing at the opponent's calves with a fierce sword.

Although his thoughts come from later generations, his body is a young hunter with rich hunting experience. This experience accumulates deep in the mind like a subconscious mind. Whenever he encounters danger, he is naturally aroused.

He could see at a glance that these two were cavalrymen, with their legs swaying and running on their legs, and they were definitely not very flexible enough. He remembered that this was a common weakness of cavalrymen.

His speed was as fast as lightning, which made the soldier not wary. More importantly, he looked just a young man, and both cavalrymen were a little contemptuous.

With a shrill scream, the soldier's right calf was cut off by a sword. Even Liu Jian did not realize that the short sword was sharp. His astonishment flashed by, and then he rushed towards the tiger, overturned the soldier to the ground, raised his sword and penetrated it into the soldier's chest with a fierce sword.

He turned around suddenly, stared at another soldier like a leopard, and slowly wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand. This was his experience in killing wild beasts. After killing one prey, he could not have any nostalgia, otherwise he would die in the mouth of the other beast.

Another soldier was more than ten steps away, and he also realized that it was too late to save him. Liu Jian killed someone too quickly and did not give him any chance.

The two confronted each other, staring at each other without blinking, and no one dared to attack easily. The Cao army soldiers had drawn out their swords, one spear and the other, taking into account both length and length.

Liu Jian suddenly bent down to pick up the spears of the dead soldiers. The two of them were like tense strings. As long as one person changes slightly, the other person's offensive will be immediately triggered.

The sergeant roared, threw a spear out, stabbed Liu Jian directly, and then rushed up and slashed his head.

Liu Jian bent down to pick up the spear, just a false move, just to trigger the other party to take action first, just like triggering a beast to pounce on him. He pretended to pick up the spear, but his body rolled forward, avoiding the other party's spear in the air, jumped, and stabbed the other party's thigh from the side.

This Cao army soldier is a soldier with a height of eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He is much more powerful than the soldiers who were killed just now. He knew something was wrong with his sword.

But he was not panicked. He flashed the light of the sword and slashed it horizontally, just slashing the short sword in Liu Jian's hand, but Liu Jian threw it to the ground.

Liu Jian pressed him to the ground, pressed one of his hands with his knees, grabbed his ears, and pressed his head tightly on the grass. The other hand of the two competed in the air.

As time passed little by little, Liu Jian suddenly heard a neighing sound of war horses coming from a distance. He was very anxious and his eyes slanted to find that the man in white had sat up and stared at them blankly more than twenty steps away.

"You idiot, why don't you come and help me!" Liu Jian shouted in a hurry.

The moment he was distracted, Cao Junshi roared and grabbed his neck, and the huge force almost suffocated him to faint.

At the same time, Liu Jian also grabbed an arrow on the ground and inserted it into the other person's face with a fierce arrow. Cao Junshi screamed and tried his best to break his throat. The two of them were comparing who could kill the other person first.

Liu Jian was madly pointing his eyes and forehead and poking it with arrows. Cao Junshi choked and his hands gradually loosened. At this time, someone shouted dozens of steps behind him: "Where is it!"

Liu Jian jumped up from Cao Junshi Chang, grabbed the skin on the ground, picked up the short sword, stumbled forward for a few steps, jumped into the river, swam several times across the other side, and ran to the depths of the woods with no chance.

The man in white was also frightened and got up and ran with him, "Young Master, wait for me!"
