Chapter 2 An ox cart

,,,,,,,,,,,,

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 was already heaven to come to 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 Kingdom. He heard some civilians talk about Runan County, Runan County, Cao Army, and Yellow Turban Army, 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.

Regarding the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Jian suddenly remembered that the next step, Liu Bei should go to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

So, where should I go to surrender to Liu Biao, or... to surrender to Cao Cao, of course, it should be to 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 reached out to touch it, but unexpectedly he found that there was still half a pancake, as if it had not been eaten at noon. He was overjoyed that having half a 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 technique of fermentation, and made them all solid cakes, which 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 cakes, which 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 a must-pass 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. Groups of wild dogs were running around in the wilderness. Once they were caught by them, they would undoubtedly die.

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

Liu Jian was overjoyed and ran to the fork. He ran about to go out. He saw a 10-meter-wide river 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 noticed 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. 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, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Biao, or the governor of Jingzhou, or Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, seemed to be both Liuzhou masters.

Liu Jian put down the man and looked around in the ox cart. He was a little disappointed, even if there was 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.

There was a sound of whizzing through the air, and two arrows shot forward and backward, shooting at the position just now.

Liu Jian then saw 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 were picked up, which made them angry.

"Small, put down the things," a soldier roared fiercely.

Liu Jian put down his skin, but pulled out his short sword, staring at the other party with sharp eyes. The two of them blocked him from running away. What was it that they were not going to kill him?

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

"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. These two cavalrymen belonged to Cao Cao's most elite tiger and leopard cavalry, commanded by Cao Chun, with excellent training and strong fighting ability. Especially when they were slashing immediately, they were invincible.

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.
