When the Hanzhong army entered Shangyong City, Liu Ba looked at those ferocious and evil beings until he could not get out.

But he also knew that he could never reveal his identity to join Prime Minister Cao.

It was not that he insisted on meeting Cao Mengde in person, but mainly because he saw Jian Yong who personally welcomed the Hanzhong army into the city...

"Jian Xianhe is Liu Bei's confidant, even though he is not talented and capable.

But he will never betray Liu Xuande!

This matter...is a fraud!"

Liu Ba only made a brief calculation in his mind and realized that this place of mediocrity was not a good place.

He had no connection with Hanzhong, so he could not tell the Hanzhong generals that they had fallen into the trap.

And when he looked at Jian Yong's appearance, he knew that this guy must have used some means to gain his trust so much.

He can't compare, so he won't take risks.

After Liu Ba confirmed the situation, he immediately changed his plan.

"Since Shangyong is Liu Xuande's strategy, then this place must have a back-up plan!

Shangyong cannot stay for a long time. Nanyang is still controlled by Liu Bei, so it seems that we can only temporarily return to Jingzhou to make plans.

It won't be too late to pay homage to Prime Minister Cao once his army is victorious..."

At this moment, Liu Ba deeply understood the meaning of "one step is slow, each step is slow", if it were not for the fact that he wasted some time in Jingnan.

At this time, he and Kuai Yue must have met Cao Mengde and offered their own good strategies.

Where can we still be in the same dilemma as now?

However, it is useless to say more. At this time, Liu Ba can only look for opportunities to escape from Shangyong, and then continue to hide in Jingzhou to observe the situation.

In order to ensure that he would have a way back at any time, Liu Ba directly chose to stay in Yiling....

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]

If nothing else, if there really was no way out, and Liu Xuande was lucky enough to win the Battle of Jingzhou, he might still be able to hide in Xichuan.

This idea made him feel that there was no problem, until that day, he saw the Xichuan army sending troops from Badi to kill him...

At that moment, Liu Ba looked at the Xichuan soldiers and horses who were chasing and killing him wantonly, and he even felt the danger of destruction.

The soldiers and horses coming from Xichuan had the order to destroy Jingzhou, so they naturally didn't care about famous people or not.

They don’t care who Liu Ba is or what he wants to do. As long as they are around them, they are all their enemies.

Therefore, Liu Ba, who wanted to protect his retreat, was chased by his own retreat and fled directly back to the land of Shangyong.

Because at that moment, Xiangyang also began to recruit a large number of civilian laborers and intensify the corvee labor. If he went to Xiangyang, he would most likely be treated as a refugee and directly put on the carriage....

Escape into Shangyong has become the only way out for him...

However, the danger of Shangyong prevented him from entering the city. He could only eat dry food, pick wild fruits and catch river fish to live a half-hiding and half-hermit life.

"As long as you avoid the city, you can stay away from the war, and if you encounter Duke Cao's army on the road, you can join directly.

And remind them that there is a big problem with this mediocrity!"

In order to make his plan more feasible, Liu Ba chose the bank of Mianshui River...

Just because he knew that if the army entered Shangyong, they would not be able to avoid Mianshui, a water source.

Therefore, as long as he holds Mianshui, he will surely be able to wait for Duke Cao, whom he longs for!

There was nothing wrong with Liu Ba's idea, and his guess was also very accurate. Not only did he see the long-lost banner with the word "Cao".

I even saw the most elite of Cao’s army, the tiger and leopard cavalry.

When he saw the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, led by Cao Chun, was constantly chasing and killing the bearded Guan Yu.

At that moment, Liu Ba felt deeply honored!

"How could Guan Yunchang be Cao Gong's opponent? Now the great situation is indeed in Cao Gong's hands!"

Looking at the majestic tiger and leopard cavalry, Liu Ba hid cautiously, only waiting for him to visit him after the war was over.

Then...

When Liu Ba woke up again, he had become one of the refugees, and the breach of Mianshui River led to the destruction of Shangyong.

As one of the people swept away by the flood, he was lucky enough to survive because of God's mercy and blessing from his ancestors.

As for other things...the flood also brought diseases, and of course took away all his luggage.

Including his household registration, his name, his dry food....

Liu Ba, who is fascinated by the lake, doesn't know who is dragging him around. He wants to say something or do something, but he can't even open his mouth.

He spent more than a month in a daze.

After he finally got over it, he no longer had any relationship with the former Jingzhou celebrity.

Unkempt, ragged, hungry... He is now a real refugee!

However, he still did not give up to pay homage to Prime Minister Cao, whom he longed for, because he was already very close to success.

He became a member of Cao Chun's migrating army... and successfully left Jingzhou and entered the land of Guanzhong in a way that he never dreamed of!

Liu Ba who looked like this would naturally not meet Cao Chun, nor did he intend to meet Cao Chun.

But Cao Mengde has not yet won the victory, and he is penniless. If he breaks away from the migrating team, his survival may become a problem.

In order to survive better, he must make necessary changes!

"You can't pay homage to Prime Minister Cao if you look like this, but... you can temporarily serve someone else and get a recommendation!"

Just do it, and the opportunity will come in no time!

Wei Duan, the servant of the Han Dynasty, was transferred to Chang'an again due to some matters, and his team happened to cross with the team migrating to Liu Ba.

Looking at the team with only three or five guards and one old servant following him, Liu Ba knew that his chance had finally come.

Wei Duan is a famous person in the world, and his persuasion to Xiliang made him famous all over the world.

Now Liu Ba knows nothing about this situation, but he still has enough knowledge. The land of Yongliang has experienced hundreds of years of war.

The dilapidated city needs talents like him to bring Yongliang back to life...

Liu Ba feels that the opportunity has come for him to show off his talent!

Then he directly stopped Wei Duan's carriage, impressed Wei Duan with his talents, and after several twists and turns, he finally followed Wei Duan to Jicheng, Hanyang County...

He even proposed the idea of ​​uniting with Zhang Lu to kill Liu Bei, so that he could even directly say that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong surrendered to the imperial court...

For this reason, Wei Duan also sent a special document to Prime Minister Cao, hoping to let him enter Hanzhong as an envoy to meet Zhang Lu.
