Chapter 586: Finally to Jingzhou
Even if Liu Bei shouted to cut his throat, it was useless, his previous tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were a joke in front of Cao Cao, and they didn't play a role at all.
Now Cao Cao is chasing Liu Bei behind, and Cao Cao has the urge to kill Liu Bei for the first time.
Cao Cao has always regarded Liu Yu as his competitor. Liu Bei, who doesn't pay much attention to him now, actually dares to calculate him, if he is not more cautious, once Liu Bei leaves with tens of thousands of troops, then he will definitely become a big trouble in the future.
"Liu Da'er! I'm going to kill you today! Cao Cao shouted angrily.
Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's angry shouts, and the whip in his hand kept whipping the horses, speeding up and fleeing for his life.
It may be that God did not let Liu Bei be caught by Cao Cao at this time. A boulder on the top of the mountain, due to resonance, suddenly slipped down from the top of the mountain, and happened to fall in the middle of Liu Bei and Cao Cao's team, blocking Cao Cao's continued pursuit.
"God help me! Cao Aman, goodbye! Liu Bei was overjoyed, and he escaped again.
Cao Cao said angrily: "Go around and continue the pursuit!" ”
Cao Cao's troops began to make a detour. Liu Bei knew that this boulder could only block for a while, and he had to run away first when Cao Cao came around, so he ordered everyone to speed up their pace and not let Cao Cao catch up.
By the time Cao Cao made a detour, Liu Bei's troops had already run away and had not seen a trace.
"Damn! Actually let him run away! Cao Cao was furious.
"Lord, do we want to chase it!" Xu Chu asked.
Cao Cao knew that it was useless to chase any longer, and said, "Count him Liu Da'er running fast!" Let's retreat to Runan first, there are still tens of thousands of troops in Runan, don't have any accidents. ”
Cao Cao returned to Runan with his soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses in Runan were still squatting there with their heads in their hands. Without Cao Cao's order, they would not dare to move, and Cao Cao would not be soft when he killed people.
Cao Cao shook his head secretly, these soldiers had no courage, and they were not even willing to resist basically. It seems that this tens of thousands of troops are also embarrassed.
Cao Cao's troops were limited, and even if these soldiers were overwhelmed, they were better than those strong men who had not held weapons. Cao Cao finally pardoned the sins of these soldiers, organized them into an army, and brought them to Shouchun together, and finally distributed them to make up for the lack of his own troops.
As for the defense of Runan, Cao Cao could arrange for a new Taishou to come over. After all, the chaotic situation in Runan County was pacified by Liu Bei, and Cao Cao just picked this peach. Liu Bei still worked for Cao Cao for nothing.
After Liu Bei and his party escaped, for the sake of safety, they still ran for dozens of miles, until they were exhausted, and Liu Bei and the others chose to rest.
Liu Bei counted the number of people, and the core personnel did not fall behind, but more than half of the five thousand soldiers and horses were lost, and most of the soldiers lost their will to fight. Liu Bei made a loss-making deal this time.
Originally, I wanted to take the team to Jingzhou to turn over the clouds, but I didn't expect that there would be so many troops left. The expectations were so big, but there was such a big gap. When Liu Bei saw such a situation, he couldn't help but feel sad, and his eyes were red.
"Lord, let's not stay, let's go to Jingzhou." Jian Yong suggested.
As soon as Jian Yong said this, Liu Bei's pain in his heart could no longer be controlled, and he cried bitterly: "What's the use of going to Jingzhou now." Whining. ”
Liu Bei cried like this, and his other moods also became depressed. The current situation is very different from the plan, I was ready to help Liu Biao before, at least I still have the right to speak, but if I go like this now, I can only say that I have taken refuge, and whether Liu Biao is willing or not is another matter.
"Big brother, now is not the time to cry. We only have the only way to Jingzhou now. Otherwise, there would be nowhere else to go. Zhang Fei said directly.
Liu Bei was told by Zhang Fei, and his tears were stopped, and he ordered the whole army to set off for Jingzhou.
But after walking a long way, Liu Bei and his party had problems again. They didn't have any food or grass, and because they had just traveled, they were hungry now. Liu Bei could only let Zhang Fei and other generals go hunting beasts to satisfy hunger. But the prey is limited, and the soldiers only get a small piece of meat in their hands.
When many soldiers saw that there was not enough meat to stuff their teeth, they felt that it would definitely be unlucky to follow Liu Bei, and they would definitely starve to death if they followed Liu Bei. So they quietly left Liu Bei behind the team, and by the time Liu Bei found out, almost five hundred people had already left.
"Liu Bei is incompetent! If you have an idea, you can do it yourself. "Liu Bei doesn't want to care about it, let's leave if they want to.
So another 500 people left Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's heart was like a cold winter.
After a long period of travel, Liu Bei finally entered the boundary of Jingzhou. Because Liu Bei took care of his reputation and did not allow soldiers to plunder the people and other things, so all the way over, Liu Bei and the others had a very bad time, and they were all yellow and thin. Even the fattest Zhang Fei has lost a lot of weight.
As soon as he arrived in Bingxian County, Nanyang County, Jingzhou, Liu Bei immediately revealed his identity as a relative of the Han family, King Jing of Zhongshan, and the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and expressed to the general of Bingxian County and the magistrate that he wanted to take refuge in Liu Biao.
The guard general didn't believe that a group of guys like homeless people would be relatives of the Han family, and thought that they were rogues attacking Bingxian, and they were all ready to organize their troops and horses to attack Liu Bei.
Fortunately, the magistrate has some eyesight, and he also heard of Liu Bei's name, and although Liu Bei is now down, the temperament on his body is still retained. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, the county order still invited Liu Bei into the city, Liu Biao takes good care of the Han clan relatives, if the person in front of him is really the Han clan clan, the county doesn't want to fall into the name of a poor worker. Of course, at the insistence of the guards, Liu Bei's troops remained outside the city. The defender doesn't dare to take risks, in case the other party takes the opportunity to attack the county seat, then he, the guard, will be a sinner for the ages.
After some exchanges, the magistrate and the guard finally believed that this down-and-out person was Liu Bei, the Taishou of Runan County near Jingzhou, and Liu Bei even took out his previous Runan County Taishou Great Seal to prove his identity. It's just that the county commander and the guard general are very strange why Liu Bei has fallen into this, but they heard that Runan County has become stable, is there any story in this?
Liu Bei also knew that he was embarrassed to look like this, but he didn't want to say more.
The magistrate and the guard general knew that Liu Bei must have encountered humiliation, otherwise it would not have happened.
After confirming the identity, the magistrate and the guard immediately brought the troops brought by Liu Bei into the county seat, and arranged shelter and food.
Liu Bei and his troops finally had a stable meal, and finally they didn't have to sleep in the open.
Liu Bei felt that his whole body was alive.
The magistrate reported Liu Bei's matter to Xiangyang, and asked Liu Bei to take a break in Bingxian County and wait for a reply from Xiangyang Jingzhou Thorn History.
Liu Bei doesn't care, as long as it's not like sleeping in the open like before, it's okay to wait here for a while.
So Liu Bei finally settled in Bingxian County, Jingzhou, and waited for Liu Biao to summon Jingzhou.
