Chapter 161: Liu Zhibing was defeated and surrendered to Yuan Shao

"Cao's army is strong, run quickly, !!"

The soldiers are not stupid, even the lord Liu Bei has run away, they will naturally not resist, the soldiers shouted and then scattered and fled, but at this time Li Dian had already led the army to rush out, Li Dian looked at the battlefield in front of him, and understood what the situation was, Li Dian hurriedly shouted: "Abandon the weapon and surrender without killing, and those who flee everywhere will not be killed!! ”

Li Dian led his guards to rush to the front, killing more than a dozen sergeants who took the lead in escaping, these Liu Beijun infantry immediately reacted, how could a two-legged one run more than a four-legged one, and the soldiers hurriedly threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt down to surrender.

The three generals Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and Yu Ban finally led the army to the battlefield, and Li Dian used the power of others to force Liu Bei to surrender these soldiers and horses, and at this time he naturally could no longer compete with others for the credit of capturing Liu Bei. Li Dian stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Liu Bei's escape, and shouted loudly: "Three generals, Liu Bei fled in this direction, I wish the three generals a great contribution to capturing and killing Liu Bei!" ”

"Thank you Mancheng for telling me!"

Xu Huang and Li Dian said hello, and hurriedly bypassed the battlefield and led the iron cavalry under their command to gallop in the direction of Liu Bei's escape, while Li Dian escorted the thousands of soldiers back to Xiapi City, and continued to garrison Xiapi to protect the city.

Xu Huang's three people and his iron cavalry are all from Xiao Pei all the way galloping, although Liu Beijun light cavalry also experienced a bitter battle in the middle of the night, but the horsepower of the war horse is better than Cao Jun's war horse after all, Xu Huang and the three of them pursued all the way Although they won a lot of Liu Beijun light cavalry, but in the end they still failed to catch up with Liu Bei, and the three of them led the army to pursue twenty or thirty miles, and saw that it was impossible to catch up with Liu Bei anymore, and they could only lead the army back.

Liu Bei led the army to flee all the way out of a distance of hundreds of miles, until he fled to the vicinity of Lanling County, and then stopped, Liu Bei and his party were tired and tired, and the war horses were out of breath and couldn't run at all.

Lu Zhu looked at the surrounding terrain and stepped forward and said, "Lord, we have run a distance of hundreds of miles overnight, and Cao Jun will definitely not be able to catch up in a short time." Now that the soldiers and horses are tired, the horses and the sergeants also need to rest, and there is a small river over there, so we might as well trim for a while and eat something before we go. ”

Liu Bei was also extremely hungry and cold at this time, he turned around and glanced at the embarrassed sergeant, sighed, and said, "Hey! In Zizhong's opinion, "

Liu Bei and the others ran all the way and lost all the things that should have been lost, but fortunately, at this time, Liu Bei was surrounded by light horses, and the knight's horse bag brought some dry food to some extent, so that everyone would not even have anything to eat. The people came to a river, and while eating dry food to regain their strength, they let the horses drink water and eat some hay to rest for a while.

After everyone rested for a while, they all recovered some strength, Liu Bei looked at the elk beside him and said, "Zizhong, how many sergeants do we have left?" ”

Lu Zhu smiled bitterly twice and said, "Back to the lord, there are still thirty-five horsemen left in our army!" ”

When Liu Bei heard that his 100,000 army had only 35 horsemen left, he was overwhelmed with grief in his heart, and tears flowed out at once, crying and crying, "My 100,000 army and 100 generals are now only 35 horsemen, it's really painful for me!" My second brother, third brother, wife and children don't know what the situation is now, but what can I do! ”

Liu Bei drew his sword and shouted: "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to crusade against Cao Thief, and now that the army is defeated, what face do I have to face the people of the world, it is better to die!! ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he raised the sword in his hand and wiped it straight towards his neck!

Lu Zhu has already made a heavy bet on Liu Bei, not only dedicating his foundation to Liu Bei so that he can recruit troops, but even his own sister is also dedicated to Liu Bei!

Lu Zhu has invested so much, but now he has lost even a pair of pants, he must not be able to watch Liu Bei, the 'creditor', kill himself, Lu Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to grab Liu Bei, and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, you are the uncle of the Han Emperor, the Son of Heaven is still waiting for you to rescue you, the Han Foundation is still waiting for you to revive, the lord can abandon the world and ignore it?" ”

"As the saying goes, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! In the past, Gaozu was also defeated by Xiang Yu several times, but Gaozu was indomitable and repeatedly raised troops, and finally defeated Xiang Yu, which gave rise to the foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years! Now that the lord is only defeated once at the hands of Cao thieves, is he going to do this thing that makes his relatives painful and his enemies happy? ”

When Lu Zhu said this, he bowed down and said: "The king humiliates the ministers to death, the king dies and the ministers obey, if the lord dies, the ministers will not live in the world!" If the lord really wants to kill himself with a horizontal sword, please use this sword to cut off my head first! ”

When all the soldiers heard Lu Zhu's words, they all bowed to the ground and shouted: "If the lord is so, I will not live in the world, and please behead us first!! ”

Liu Bei is ambitious, how could he die so easily, the reason why he is like this is just that he is worried that these last sergeants will also abandon him, if so, he will not even have any capital. After seeing the soldiers return to his heart, Liu Bei sighed and said: "I, Liu Bei, have fallen to Si, and I can still have such a loyal person as you to follow, this is a blessing from heaven!" Regardless of the people in the world for the time being, even if it is for you, I Liu Bei will definitely make some achievements so that I can share the wealth with you!! ”

Everyone bowed one after another: "The lord is wise, and he will definitely be able to make a comeback and achieve great things!! ”

Liu Bei appeased the soldiers, and then sat down under a tree with Lu Zhu, and said: "Now that Xuzhou has been lost, our army has been defeated and the generals are scattered, and we have no place to stand. ”

Lu Zhu pondered for a moment and said: "Lord, Cao Cao has just captured Xiapi, he will not immediately lead the army back, we have cut off the road to the south, and now we can only continue to go north." Yuan Shao occupies the land of Sizhou, has millions of soldiers and thousands of generals, and his strength far exceeds that of Cao Cao. This place is Lanling County, and we have two roads to choose from, one is to go to the northeast, and go to Qingzhou to seek refuge with Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan; One road is to go to the northwest and go to Yecheng to join Yuan Shao, I don't know how the lord decides? ”

Liu Bei already had an idea in his heart, and said: "I am waiting for the defeat to Si, it seems that we can only take refuge in Yuan Shao first, so as to rely on his strength to deal with Cao Cao." Now we can only go to Hebei, and how can we abandon his father and serve his son, so we will go to the northwest and go to Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao, it just so happens that Sun Qian is also in Yuan Shao's place, and we can also go to meet him. Yuan Shao had already allied with me before, and now that I have been defeated and surrendered, he will no longer embarrass us. ”

Lu Zhu bowed his hand and said: "The lord is wise, from this place to the northwest, more than a hundred miles is the plain county, the lord has been in charge of the plains of the people before, we can also cross the Yellow River from this place!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and replied: "Without further ado, the soldiers have rested for a while, let's continue to hurry!" ”

"No!"

Liu Bei beckoned the soldiers to get up, and everyone beat their horses and went straight to Pingyuan County, preparing to go to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao.

……

Let's not talk about Liu Bei's going to seek refuge with Yuan Shao for the time being, and say that after Liu Bei left last night, Liu Bei's soldiers on the battlefield were immediately defeated and began to flee in all directions. Cao Cao saw that the general situation had been decided, so he ordered the army to surrender, and for a while, Liu Bei's army surrendered to countless people, and there were few who continued to resist!

Chen to fight Cao Hong, so as to delay the time for Liu Bei to evacuate, Chen to be brave and good at fighting, Cao Hong is also good at martial arts, the two fought for nearly 100 rounds without winning or losing, Cao Hong saw that Chen was excellent in martial arts, and his heart was full of love, and said: "Your lord Liu Bei has abandoned you and left, why should you work for him again?" When the general trend is gone, you better get off your horse and surrender quickly! My lord Cao Cheng is thirsty for love, and I recommend it for you, and the prime minister will definitely use it for you! ”

Chen Zhi sneered a few times, and replied loudly: "Loyal ministers don't care about the second master, how can I, Chen Zhi, be a thief who betrays the master?" If you want to fight, you will fight, why should I be afraid of traitors and thieves!! ”

"What a thief! I persuaded you so much, and you insulted me like this! Since you don't know the times, then don't blame my men for being ruthless!!! ”

Cao Hong shouted loudly and continued to attack Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi estimated that the time was almost up, the lord should have gone far, and he also began to think about a way to get out, but Cao Hong's offensive was very urgent, and his few remaining sergeants were also entangled by Cao Jun, he tried several times, but did not find a chance to escape.

At this moment, suddenly another shout came, "Zilian, don't worry, I'll come!! ”

Chen Zhi turned his head to look, only to see Cao Ren, the general of the Cao army, leading an iron cavalry to roll and kill, Chen Zhi's face suddenly changed, his martial arts are in line with Cao Hong, if Cao Ren intervenes again, he will definitely not be the opponent of the second general of the Cao family, is it really heaven and earth himself!!

Chen Zhi's personal guards saw that Cao Jun was killing again, and their faces changed, and the rest of the guards glanced at each other, and everyone broke out together to block as many Cao soldiers as possible, and several guards were able to get out, shouting, and rushed towards Cao Hong, shouting: "The general leaves quickly, I will wait for the general to drag the enemy general!" ”

After these guards arrived, they immediately rushed into the battle circle to block Chen Zhi and stood with Cao Hongda, Chen Zhi saw this, his heart was shocked, and he shouted: "You must not wait like this, you wait to retreat quickly, I will wait for you to retreat!" ”

These guards hurriedly replied: "Our army has been defeated like a mountain, this place has become a dangerous situation, with our martial arts, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of Cao's army, and please let the general leave quickly, don't let me wait for death to be worthless!! ”

As soon as the guard's voice fell, Cao Hong found a gap and killed a guard, seeing that Chen's eyes were red, and he raised his spear to kill back to the battlefield, and the remaining guards saw this, and they all shouted: "The general leaves quickly, if you don't leave, we will kill ourselves immediately!" Please also ask the general to leave quickly, and take care of my family in the future, otherwise I will die blindly!! ”

"Good, good! I'll go, rest assured, in the future, your family urine will be my relatives, if you live up to the thunder and thunder of the sky!! ”

Chen Zhi shouted, and then hit the horse and rushed out to kill the past, the Cao army soldiers were difficult to resist Chen Dao, and soon he rushed out, Cao Hong killed Chen Zhi's personal guard after the break, Cao Ren finally hit the horse and rushed over, Cao Hong shouted angrily: "The thief will not go far, quickly pursue with me!" ”

Cao Ren and Cao Hong immediately led the army to kill the remaining Chen Zhi's guards, and then chased Chen Zhi in the direction of breaking through, at this time Liu Bei's army had been defeated, and the battlefield was full of Cao soldiers. After the soldiers of the Cao army saw Chen Dao again, they all intercepted it, Chen Zhi had to kill the soldiers of the Cao army to break through, and the speed was inevitably slower, Cao Hong and Cao Ren both had Cao soldiers to guide them along the way, and the two soon saw Chen Zhi's figure again and chased him behind.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi hurriedly accelerated his speed and continued to break through, Director Chen worked hard all the way, and finally arrived at the place where Liu Bei met Guan Yu, Chen Zhi saw that Guan Yu was fighting with Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, and hurriedly shouted: "General Guan, I'll help you, let's break through together!" ”

Guan Yu had already fought with the Xiahou brothers for more than 100 rounds at this time, and when he heard Chen Zhi's voice, he was immediately overjoyed, but after he saw that Chen Zhi was also being chased and killed, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly said in his heart: Even if Chen Zhi helps, it will be difficult for the two of them to kill Cao Jun in a short time, it is better for him to block Cao Jun himself, and then let Chen Zhi go to protect Liu Bei!

Guan Yu thought of this, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't come, uncle, I'll block the chasing army for you!" The lord took people to the direction of Pi, you hurry up to protect the lord, there is no general around the lord to escort the situation is critical, you go to help quickly! ”

Chen Zhi hurriedly replied: "General Guan's martial arts are far stronger than mine, it is better for me to drag the enemy army after the break, and let the general go to help the lord!" ”

Guan Yu saw that Chen Zhi was still hesitating there, and said sharply: "It is my martial arts that are higher than you, so I can only break the back, you can not drag the enemy general, why don't you retreat quickly!" If you are a big brother but there is a difference, I will take advantage of you and not spare you!! ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he could only reply in a loud voice: "General Guan is very careful, I will go to protect the lord, if the lord is injured, I don't need the general to do it, I will sacrifice the head myself!! ”

Chen Zhi shouted, hit the horse and went straight to the direction of Xiapi, Chen Zhi rode alone at a very fast speed, and soon came to the vicinity of Xiapi, just when he was about to go to Xiapi, suddenly there were several eager shouts: "Someone is General Chen Zhi?" ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he hurriedly reined in the war horse, he looked for prestige, and saw several Xuzhou Army sergeants hiding in the woods, Chen Zhi saw this, and shouted: "Where is the lord, why are you hiding here?" ”

"It's all Cao Jun here, please go into the forest quickly!"

Chen Zhi saw that there were only a few sergeants, these people were definitely not his opponents, so he hit his horse and entered the woods, these sergeants were none other than Liu Beijun's soldiers who had just escaped from the situation under Xiapi City, they saw that Cao Jun's iron cavalry went straight to the north to pursue, they didn't dare to run in that direction again, so they could only secretly touch it back, but they didn't expect to meet Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi's love for soldiers was very prestigious in the army, and these sergeants saw that Chen Zhi was just going down, and they were worried that he would fall into the ambush of Cao's army, so they warned him to stop.

After Chen Zhi entered the woods, he saw that these sergeants were all veterans who had followed Liu Bei for many years, and they were not the previous Cao Jun's soldiers, so he was relieved, and hurriedly asked Liu Bei about the situation. These sergeants ambushed them in Xiapi, and were chased and killed by Cao's iron cavalry, and Liu Bei had already led the light cavalry to flee to the north and told Chen Zhi about it.

Chen Zhi heard that Cao Jun's iron cavalry was going to the north to pursue, and he didn't dare to continue to go north, he pondered for a moment, and said: "The lord will definitely go to Yuan Shao all the way to the north, and now there are Cao troops everywhere, I can't wait to pursue the lord immediately, Cao Jun still needs to resist Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will not garrison in Xuzhou for a long time, why don't I hide in the mountains and forests first, wait until the Cao army retreats, and then go to Hebei to find the lord, I don't know what to do?" ”

These sergeants were panicked, where else did they have any ideas, hearing Chen Dao's words were very reasonable, plus they also trusted Chen Zhi very much, and they bowed down and responded: "We are willing to obey the general's orders!" ”

……

Let's say that after Chen Zhi retreated, Cao Ren and Cao Hong also chased after him, and the Xiahou brothers were overjoyed when they saw Cao Ren and Cao Hong coming, and shouted loudly: "Zixiao, Zilian, Guan Yu is here, as long as he captures it, it will be a great achievement!" Guan Yu is brave, it is difficult for the two of us to capture him alive, you two come to help in the battle! There is still an ambush in front of us, and the enemy will definitely not be able to escape, so you don't have to worry about that person anymore! ”

Cao Ren and Cao Hong were also overjoyed when they saw Guan Yu here, you must know that Guan Yu is a world-famous general, he is not only Liu Bei's righteous brother, but also Liu Bei's right-hand man, if Guan Yu can be captured, this merit is second only to the capture of Liu Bei!

Cao Ren and Cao Hong shouted in unison, and both joined the battlefield, and the four brothers Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan began to fight Guan Yu in groups!!

Cao Rensi beat the horse and beat Guan Yu in a circle, Guan Yu felt the threat of the four, and also used his martial arts to the peak; Guan Yu read the Spring and Autumn Period at night and created his own Spring and Autumn Knife Technique, his knife is thick and steady and there is no lack of sharp killing moves, which can be described as both offensive and defensive, terrifying! Guan Yu exerted his whole body ability, and the Qinglong Glaive Knife in his hand was wielded by him as if it were a living real dragon, not only taking all the attacks in all directions, but even occasionally attacking for one or two rounds, bringing some trouble to Cao Rensi.

Cao Ren's four generals fought Guan Yu's moves were sharp and fast, and the five of them soon fought again for dozens of rounds, Guan Yu was outnumbered, his physical strength and energy were very consumed, and he began to pant when he wielded the long knife; Cao Rensi's generals were determined to capture Guan Yu alive, so they never used their killing moves, which also allowed Guan Yu to barely continue to maintain his defensive position.

Guan Yu saw that the situation was not good, while defending with all his might, while accumulating physical strength to prepare for the final blow, Xiahoudun was blind in one eye, his eyes were a little bad, and when he shot, he finally revealed a flaw, Guan Yu waited for a long time, and took the opportunity to slash straight at Xiahoudun's head with all his strength!
