Chapter 965 - Depressed to the point of collapse
Liangqiu City!
The night of the siege of Chengwu City.
"Lord Qiqi, the third general is back......"
"Where is Wing D now?"
But listening to what the guards said, Liu Bei was shocked, and his face had already changed greatly.
Cao Cao, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Tai Shici, Xu Chu and others in the hall were also shocked.
"The three generals are waiting outside the hall."
Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and strode towards the outside of the hall. Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and others also followed in stride.
Outside the hall, Zhang Fei knelt at the foot of the steps, his head hung down, and he looked embarrassed, without his previous fierce momentum.
"Third brother...... Third brother! ”
Liu Bei, who ran out in stride, didn't have time to take a look, and he was already crying out in grief.
"Big brother! Zhang Fei is ashamed of his big brother! ”
Looking up at Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, whose eyes were red, lowered his head with shame, emotion and self-blame, and his dull tone was full of sadness and depression.
"The third brother blames himself...... Don't blame yourself!
As long as the third brother returns safely! ”
Liu Bei, whose eyes were already moist, hurriedly stepped down the steps, picked up his brother with both hands, patted the dust on Zhang Fei's body, wiped the dirt on his brother's face, and his voice was already a little choked......
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! I'm waiting, and it's not like I've never been defeated!
If the third brother blames himself again, how can the foolish brother be at ease...... How can you have peace of mind? ”
Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Tai Shici and others present saw Liu Zhang Errao's sincere brotherhood, and they all felt a lot and were moved!
"The 50,000 soldiers and horses on the front line of Gaotang and Tatecheng all died at the hands of the Liangzhou army; The 40,000 reinforcements in Linjiang City were defeated by the enemy......
In order to cover me, Yuanba died after breaking off; Bo Yan's life and death are unknown, and he may have died at the hands of the Liangzhou army; I am afraid that the country has been killed......"
Zhang Fei's eyes were red, his eyes were already sparkling, and the guilt in his heart became more and more intense; The guilt in my heart became more and more intense......
"Just because of Zhang Fei's incompetence, not only did he not defeat the enemy army for his eldest brother, but also caused Bo Yan, Yuan Ba, Guo Rang and others to be killed...... As a result, tens of thousands of soldiers died at the hands of the enemy......
Zhang Fei is ashamed of his eldest brother and the trust of the soldiers, what face does he have to live in the world? ”
Hearing that Guan Hai died on the battlefield, Lu Xun and Tian Yu were mostly dead and chatting about bad news, Liu Bei's heart became more and more sad, these three people are his important ministers!
Everyone present, hearing this bad news, thought of the current situation, and their hearts were also sad!
"The third brother is going to talk nonsense!
There are many soldiers in Liangzhou, and our army was defeated by the enemy, but it is really a foolish brother's poor consideration and wrong command and scheduling, what does it have to do with the third brother? ”
Liu Bei, who was fluctuating in tears, the sadness and sadness in his heart were indescribable, he could only comfort Zhang Fei with good words, he couldn't let his brother find a short-sighted!
"Yuanba died on the battlefield, Bo Yan and Guorang are not clear about life and death, they are all the fault of the foolish brother, and they have nothing to do with the third brother!
The so-called ...... 'stay in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood', if the third brother has three long and two short, for the brother and the cloud chief, how can he be at ease in the world? ”
Seeing this situation, everyone present was sad in their hearts, sighed in their hearts, and their eyes were moist.
"Yide, what the lord said is very true! If there is something wrong with Yide, how can he make the Lord feel at ease? ”
Striding down the steps, Tai Shici came to Zhang Fei, his expression was full of solemnity, and his tone was full of solemn relief: "The matter has come to this, we should regain our strength and avenge the Yuanba and their dead soldiers!"
Everyone also expressed their words of relief.
The more kind words everyone reassured, the more guilty Zhang Fei felt in his heart, and the more he sighed in his heart! Fortunately, Zhang Fei's desire to apologize for his crimes was finally dispelled.
Half an hour later......
Everyone was seated in the hall......
"Alliance leader, Liu Gong, the scouts of our army who went to the front line of Puyang and Xiapi are back......"
"Quick!"
But listening to what the guards said, and seeing the looks on the faces of the guards, all kinds of uneasy and panicked emotions lingered in the hearts of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Xun You, and Cheng Yu.
After a dozen breaths, two scouts, covered in wounds and blood, with the support of four personal guards, came to the door of the hall with great difficulty.
"It's what military intelligence, come quickly!"
The scene in front of him confirmed that everyone in the hall was uneasy, and Cao Cao's heart was broken, and he hurriedly asked in a deep voice.
"The three cities of Puyang, Juancheng, and Dong'e were all broken by the Liangzhou army, and General Xiahou and General Cao were ...... Life and death are unknown, and among the dozens of scouts who traveled with him, there was only one person left......"
After that, before Cao Cao could ask in detail, the Yanzhou army scout lowered his head.
"Yuan Rang...... Zidan ...... Boren ......"
"My lord! Man is dead......"
Probing the scout's breath, the guards reported respectfully.
A few years ago, Cao Cao and Liu Bei each sent dozens of scouts to Puyang and Xiapi to inquire about the news.
Unexpectedly, out of more than a hundred scouts, only these two people came back.
The other side!
"Xiapi and Pengcheng were lost, and the two generals of Guan and Wei were ...... Life and death are not ......"
Before it was over, the Qingzhou Army scout struggled violently and moved a few times, and hung his head violently.
"Quick...... What's wrong with my second brother? ”
When he was stunned, Zhang Fei, who had already stepped forward, shook his hands and shook the already dead scout, and his round eyes were already scarlet, and tears were already rolling.
At the same time!
But listening to what the scout said, all of a sudden, Liu Bei, who was in a dark position and frightened in his heart, felt a cold air rising from the soles of his feet, sweeping his whole body, rushing to his forehead, and condensing in his heart, and the person also fell backwards.
"Lord...... Lord! ”
Tai Shici, who has quick eyes and hands, flew up and was busy supporting his own father-in-law; Cheng Yu and Wu Anguo stepped forward in a panic.
"Big brother...... Eldest brother! ”
Hearing Tai Shici's exclamation, Zhang Fei hurriedly turned around, stepped forward again, and knelt in front of Liu Bei, his heart was already in a mess.
At this time, Cao Cao, who was in a panic, had no intention of taking care of Liu Bei, he only wanted to know the exact news of Xiahoudun, Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Shang.
After a long time......
"Cloud Chief...... Where is it now? ”
Liu Bei woke up slowly, and the tears in his eyes rolled down the corners of his eyes; In the eyes of the sparkling waves, there is endless grief and sadness; His hoarse voice was full of indescribable longing and heartache!
"Big Brother ......"
sighed again and again in his heart, Zhang Fei, whose heart was like a knife, cried and worshiped on the ground, he also wanted to know the whereabouts of his second brother!
"Alas...... Alas......"
Tai Shici, Wu Anguo, Cheng Yu and others, whose eyes were moist, sighed again and again, unable to answer their lord's questions.
'I hope that Yun Chang, Wen Chang, Zi Yang, Gongyou, and Tan Zhi can return to Liangqiu City safe and sound! ’
The atmosphere in the government is so depressing that it makes people collapse!
