Chapter 329: After the Great War (I)
?
Liu Bei was defeated, and he was defeated so completely that the total number of defeated soldiers collected in the end was less than three hundred.
In the past few years, the family foundation that Xinye has worked hard to save has been defeated overnight.
Faced with such a situation, Liu Bei's face was like ashes. He couldn't believe that he had nothing left of himself after just one night's work.
At this moment, he even had the heart to die.
After 20 years of hard work, the final result is the loss of everything, and no matter who else it is, I am afraid that this fact cannot be accepted.
While Liu Bei was depressed, he also had unprecedented doubts about himself. Is his ability really poor, and whether he has the qualifications to become a prince. I am bent on thinking that one day I will be able to rule the world, is it a fool's dream, self-indulgence, and whimsy?
"Lord, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, in the past, Gaozu was repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu, and was 'forced' into a desperate situation several times, and finally succeeded in the next battle and established the foundation of the Han Dynasty for 400 years. Although the lord is now frustrated by Cao's '', he will have a chance to turn defeat into victory in the future. Zhuge Liang comforted Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang's face at the moment is also very bad, the plan to attack Wancheng can be said to have been planned by him, but in the end, he fell short, but instead folded all the troops into it, in this case, Zhuge Liang's mood could not be good anyway. However, Zhuge Liang also saw Liu Bei's decline, and as a military advisor, it was necessary for him to persuade Liu Bei to regain his strength.
Although the current situation is extremely bad, it has not yet reached the end of the mountain, but if Liu Bei, as the monarch, loses his fighting spirit first, then there is really no hope for this force.
It's just that now Liu Bei is really frustrated to the extreme, and he didn't listen much to Zhuge Liang's persuasion.
"In the past, Gao Zu was majestic and strategic, how can I compare with me, a weaver and a shoe seller? And Xiang Yu is cruel and unkind, mean and unkind, how can he compare to Cao Cao's '' 'traitor' in this life? Gao Zu can defeat Xiang Yu, it doesn't mean that I can defeat Cao Thief. Liu Bei's face was ashen, and he said slowly.
Zhuge Liang felt a little troubled at this time, Liu Bei was so low that he even called himself a mat weaver and a peddler. You must know that since Liu Bei became the emperor's uncle, in order to show his bearing, although the title of "weaving mat and selling shoes" is not taboo, he is somewhat disgusted.
But now, this title actually came out of Liu Bei's own mouth, which shows how bad his mood is at the moment.
Zhuge Liang thought that his mouth was like a river and his eloquence was unparalleled, but in the face of Liu Bei, who was so depressed to such an extent, Zhuge Liang was choked for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Zhuge Liang didn't know how to persuade him, he had a hunch that no matter what inspiring words he said, he couldn't immediately cheer up Liu Bei in front of him.
Could it be that he could only rely on time to wash away the depression in Liu Bei's heart?
"Big brother, don't you even want to avenge the second brother's revenge!" Just when Zhuge Liang was at a loss for Liu Bei's low 'fan', Zhang Fei suddenly shouted.
Liu Bei was drunk by Zhang Fei like this, and the embarrassed expression on his face suddenly decreased a lot, although his eyes were far from firm, but they were much clearer.
"Yes, the revenge of the second brother has to be avenged." Liu Bei is very ambitious, but for him, the great cause is not as important as his brother. Liu Bei is determined to be in the world and has fought for it so far, but if he really doesn't have the luck to win the world, then he may not really be too forceful. However, the revenge of the second brother Guan Yu must be avenged no matter what, no matter what despicable means are used, those enemies who killed the second brother must die!
Until then, you must not be discouraged!
Zhuge Liang was also relieved when he saw that Liu Bei had recovered a little, and he couldn't help but admire Zhang Fei a little more. Although he is Liu Bei's military advisor, some things are not clear after all, not to mention that before he joined Liu Bei's camp, Guan Yu was killed a long time ago, Zhuge Liang had no way of understanding Liu Bei's feelings for Guan Yu, so he didn't expect to use Guan Yu's matter to 'provoke' Liu Bei.
————————————————————————————————
Gao Shun's side won the victory, and the battle between Xu Huang and Cai Mao also ended in victory.
However, although it was a victory, it was also a very tragic victory, and less than 2,000 people survived in the end.
After Gao Shun led his troops to leave, the number of Cao's army was already less than that of the Jingzhou army, although the Cao army was slightly superior in terms of combat strength, it was not easy to make up for the numerical gap with these advantages in combat effectiveness. It is also a loss that the person who commanded the army is Xu Huang, who was called one of the good generals of Wei Wuzi by later generations, if he is replaced by a general of a slightly inferior level, I am afraid that Cao Jun has been defeated by the Jingzhou army at this time.
successfully defended Wancheng, Gao Shun, Xu Huang and Guo Jia were promoted. Gao Shun's performance in this battle was particularly prominent, not to mention defeating Liu Bei's ambush, he even repelled Zhang Fei, and was named the general of Zhendong by Cao 'Cao' on the table for his merits, and he was like the first general in Cao's army in terms of status.
Gao Shun's deputy general, Hao Zhao, was also crowned as the general of the tooth 'gate' because of his meritorious service in defending the city, and capturing Jian Yong and Mi Fang.
Defending Wancheng is extremely important, but this skill alone is not enough to make Hao Zhao promote so quickly. Mi Fang and Jian Yong are both extremely important tasks in Liu Bei's army, and it is a great credit to be able to capture the two of them, so no one has any objections to Hao Zhao's promotion. ~
