Zhang Fei held a knife in both hands, frantically fighting in the crowd, he didn't know how many people he had killed, how many injuries had been added to his body, blood infected his whole body, his hair was glued together, and his clothes and armor were full of blood stains, he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own, there was only one thought left in his mind, if he killed, the camp could not be broken!

But with the opening of the gate, the Guanzhong soldiers are constantly killing in, the Jingzhou army around is getting fewer and fewer, but the Guanzhong army seems to be endless, constantly coming, although Zhang Fei is brave, can fight ten people, can block a hundred people, but can not stop a thousand people, ten thousand people, although the endless Guanzhong soldiers aroused his ferocity, but failed to save the rout.

In the crowd, a group of centaurs killed Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei's instinctive backhand was a knife.

"Bang~"

The person who came swung Zhang Fei's knife with a shot and shouted: "Yide, it's me!" The camp has been broken, don't fall in love with the battle, break through with me! ”

Seeing that the Guanzhong army had entered the camp, the situation was difficult to recover again, Chen Zhi could only choose to retreat, but seeing that Zhang Fei was under siege, he hurriedly waved his troops to rescue!

"It's still stopping!" Zhang Fei slashed a Guanzhong soldier to death with a knife and roared angrily.

"If you can't stop it, even if you and I die here, we can't stop it, break through quickly, report to the lord, and the lord will decide!" While commanding the soldiers to fight and retreat, Chen Zhi asked Zhang Fei's weapons to pull over the horses.

Zhang Fei roared unwillingly, grabbed the Zhangba snake spear, turned over on the black horse, and together with Chen Zhi, led the army to break through and go straight to Wancheng.

Although the surrounding soldiers wanted to stop it, but in the face of Zhang Fei, who was crazy at the moment, and the Jingzhou elite who was in a desperate situation and desperately wanted to kill a way out, where could they stop it without proper deployment, they could only watch them rush out, but for Zhang Liao, Xi'e has been broken and the overall situation has been decided.

"Wei Yan!" After Zhang Liao reorganized the army a little, he recruited Wei Yan.

"The last general!" Wei Yan described it as a little embarrassed, in today's battle, he almost died in the chaos at least three times, and he felt that it was a miracle that he could survive.

"How's the injury?" Zhang Liao glanced at the wound on Wei Yan's body and asked.

"Skin trauma, out of the way." Wei Yan shook his head and said.

"Immediately lead 5,000 men and horses into Wancheng first, help defend the city, and I will lead the army to come later." Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

This time to save Wancheng, as long as Wancheng is not lost, other lost cities can be slowly taken back, Wei Yan is the hero of this battle to break the enemy, and just experienced a tragic battle, covered with injuries, should not let him continue to attack, but there is no milk to drink, Zhang Liao wants to preside over the overall situation, can not leave, the people available around him, only Wei Yan, let him go back to Wancheng first, one can boost the morale of the city, come can also let Wei Yan first cultivate, Zhang Liao to preside over the army, it is impossible to bring all the troops into the city, and then to fight with Liu Bei.

"Whoa!" Wei Yan happily agreed, and immediately ordered the troops and horses, and went straight to Wancheng, after Zhang Liao reorganized the army, it was past noon, and then he began to wave his army to Wancheng.

On the other side, Liu Bei was still commanding the army to attack the city, and suddenly learned the news that Chen Zhi and Zhang Fei had returned, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked Wen Ping and Wang Wei to continue to command the battle, and he took Chen Gong back to the camp, and saw Chen Zhi and Zhang Fei covered in blood.

Although he already knew the result when he saw the two of them, Liu Bei still said with the last trace of luck: "Yide, Shuzhi, how is the war?" ”

Zhang Fei lowered his head in shame, and Chen Zhi said ashamedly: "With the trust of the lord, today's Xi'e camp was broken, and our army returned defeated." ”

Even though he had expected this result, when Chen Zhi said it, Liu Bei still felt that his eyes were dark.

"Brother, it's the younger brother who is incompetent, and he is so tired that the army fell for that Zhang Liao's tricks, which caused our army to suffer heavy losses, so that we have today's defeat, please punish my brother!" Zhang Fei pouted, knelt down in front of Liu Bei, and said hoarsely.

"Lord, this matter can't be blamed entirely on Yide, I also agree with the dispatch of troops, but the Chinese army in that pass is too brave, and our army can't change its formation, so it was taken advantage of by the thief army!" Chen Zhi arched his hand.

Looking at Zhang Fei, who was kneeling on the ground and covered in blood, what could Liu Bei do even if he was disappointed in his heart? Could it be that he really killed him? Stretching out his hand to help Zhang Fei up, Liu Bei closed his eyes painfully: "No wonder you wait for this matter, the Jingzhou soldiers surrendered not long ago, and it is inevitable that the command will be jerky, the Guanzhong army is a hundred battles of heroes, and you can't blame Yide if you can't beat it, hurry up!" ”

"Brother~" Zhang Fei said unwillingly: "It's hateful that I failed to kill the thief, otherwise today's victory or defeat is unknown." ”

If Wei Yan had been killed with a knife in Yuanmen at that time, maybe Yuanmen would not have been broken, and the Guanzhong Army would not have been able to kill it, Zhang Fei was on the Yuanmen at that time, and Zhang Fei was very clear about how the Guanzhong Army broke the door.

"Yide doesn't have to blame himself, there is still a chance to be ashamed in the future." Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei's hand stained with blood, turned his head to look at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, I'm afraid that the reinforcements of the thief army will arrive soon, this Wancheng is already difficult to break, but there is still a clever plan?" ”

Chen Gong was a little helpless when he heard this, so far, how could he have any clever plan, the thirty elites sent into the city have no news until now, it should have been noticed by Cui Geng, and the details in the city have now been cut off, and it is already extremely difficult to break the city, and now that the other party's reinforcements have arrived, even if they attack the city with all their strength now, there is no way to break it.

"Lord, we can retreat to Yuyang first, the lord has already begun to move the people, we can redeploy the front, drive the people on the north bank to the south bank as much as possible, write to Kong Ming, prepare ships, and send these people to Jingnan for resettlement, so as to consolidate the foundation of our army." Chen Gong said with a wry smile, it is impossible to break through Wancheng now, but it is not without gain.

The population of Jingzhou is mostly concentrated in the area of Xiangyang and Jiangling, and the population of Jingbei is full, but Jingnan is vast and sparsely populated, which is just enough to move the people in several cities to Jingnan, which can also be regarded as strengthening the population of Jingxiang, but Nanyang is not available, and the next days will not be easy.

After Chen Mo killed Cao Cao, he would definitely turn his attention to the south, and if they failed to win Nanyang in this battle, they would have to actively prepare for the battle and prepare for a decisive battle with Chen Mo.

Liu Bei nodded, he also felt that there was not much hope for continuing to attack the city, so it was better to take advantage of the fact that he still had some strength and take all the benefits in his hands.

At the same time, Liu Pan and Liu Hu were responsible for driving all the people of Yuyang, Nieyang, Anzhong, Nanxiang and other counties to Hanshui, and wrote to Zhuge Liang, asking Xiangfan to prepare ships and send all these people to Jingnan, so as to enrich the population of Wuling and Lingling counties.

When Zhang Liao led the army to Wancheng, Liu Bei's army had all withdrawn, Zhang Liao arranged for the army to go down outside Wancheng, and sent a large number of scouts to monitor Liu Bei's movements, and then brought his own guards into the city, ready to understand the situation in Wancheng during this time.

However, to Zhang Liao's surprise, it was not Cui Geng who presided over the war in Wancheng, but Zhu Sheng, Huang Li and others.

"Why is that?" Getting this result, Zhang Liao's face sank, looking at Zhu Sheng and the others, although he is not a general, Chen Mo really values Zhang Liao, but Chen Mo sent Cui Geng to Nanyang to preside over the battle this time, but he was overturned by his own people, if this matter reaches Chen Mo's ears, what will people think?

"General, this is General Cui's own intention, not our embarrassment." Zhu Sheng hurriedly explained the cause and effect.

Hearing that it was a family matter, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, if this is the case, it is normal, Zhang Liao is also from a wealthy family, and he knows very well what people in this class think.

They are not from a high background, but they are single-handedly covered by the characters in the local area, they want to drill up, but they can't find a way, and their vision is not enough, they only want to strengthen themselves, and now there is such a character as Cui Geng in the clan, they naturally want to climb up through Cui Geng, but unfortunately they use the wrong method, in fact, this kind of promotion is sometimes more difficult than the promotion in the officialdom, and if a family wants to grow, there are many things involved, and it is not that a high-ranking official can climb up immediately.

As for how to deal with Cui Geng, Zhang Liao didn't ask, he believed that Cui Geng knew what to do, at least the crime of collaborating with the enemy, no matter where it was placed, could not be pardoned, even if Cui Geng was Chen Mo's confidant, if Cui Geng insisted on protecting that Cui Quan, he might also lose Chen Mo's trust.

"The power of Wancheng is temporarily relieved, but the thief has not been eliminated!" After sending someone to invite Cui Geng, Zhang Liao looked at Cui Geng and said: "Although the general's family affairs are important now, please also ask the general to focus on the overall situation and re-take the order. ”

"Everything is according to the general's will." Cui Geng saluted slightly: "The last general is willing to listen to the general's dispatch." ”

"Chamberen doesn't have to be like this!" Zhang Liao waved his hand and said: "You and I are not subordinates, you can discuss each other in case of trouble, Bolun thinks, then Liu Bei failed to break through Wancheng, what will happen next?" ”

Cui Geng groaned: "Although Liu Bei failed to break through Wanxian, Yuyang, Anzhong, and Nieyang have all broken through for it, and now although they are defeated, these cities still need to be recaptured, I don't think he will give up easily." ”

Zhang Liao nodded: "I also see it this way, but I see that the Jingzhou army and the generals under Liu Bei have not yet joined forces, this time the defeat of Western Hubei is not yet in unison, I am afraid that it will not confront our army head-on, I have sent someone to investigate Liu Bei's movements, I want to ask the general and the chief of Wen to lead all the way to the troops and horses, and our Chinese army is at a wrestle to put pressure on Liu Bei, waiting for the opportunity to recapture the counties, what does the general think?" ”

"Obey your fate!" Cui Geng bowed down and said, dragged down by the family, he is now considered to be a guilty body, even if Cui Quan has been imprisoned by him and waiting for the execution of the imperial court, but the family can do these things because of him, so Cui Geng now also wants to make up for his own mistakes.

"The three armies are tired, I will wait for a few days to recuperate, and when the news comes back from the front, it will not be too late to send troops." Zhang Liao said with a smile.

"So, the last general will take his leave!" Cui Geng got up and agreed.

"Walk slowly."
