Chapter 251: Grief-stricken Liu Bei and Zhang Fei (II)
Chapter 251 Liu Bei and Zhang Feixia, who were grief-stricken
Liu Bei finally caught up with Zhang Fei, and finally brought him back after a lot of 'lip' talk.
However, the sad atmosphere has been lingering in General Zuo's mansion in Chuyang City, and both Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are immersed in this sadness and can't extricate themselves.
At the beginning, he was so sad just when he heard the news of Guan Yu's death, but now that he has seen Guan Yu's body with his own eyes, Liu Bei's mood can be imagined now.
"Second brother! Second brother! In the past, we agreed to live and die together, but now you forbear to abandon your brother and go? Although Guan Yu's body was now decomposed, Liu Bei didn't care about it at all, and suddenly lay on Guan Yu's body. At this moment, Liu Bei had lost all his manners and demeanor, and he just cried loudly.
Zhang Fei also got the news that Guan Yu's body was transported back, only to see that his eyes were red, and he hurriedly ran in.
"Second brother!" As soon as he saw Guan Yu lying in the coffin, Zhang Fei was sad from his heart, knelt down in front of Guan Yu's body with a "poof", and cried bitterly with Liu Bei.
"Big brother, let's send troops to kill Xuchang and avenge the second brother!" After crying loudly for a while, Zhang Fei choked up and said to Liu Bei.
The revenge of killing my brother is not shared! The previous time he sent troops, he was intercepted by Liu Bei, but this time he saw Guan Yu's corpse with his own eyes, and the anger in Zhang Fei's heart was ignited again.
Although Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei's reckless death last time, at this time he was in a state of pain and not wanting to live, and even his mind was a little unclear, and he vaguely heard Zhang Fei say the word "revenge", and he wanted to agree in a trance.
Chen Gong, who came with him because he was worried about Liu Bei's 'spirit' state, couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly rushed before Liu Bei opened his mouth and said: "General Guan was killed by Cao thief, although it is hateful, but I have few soldiers in Yang City, and rashly sending troops is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car and killing oneself." The matter of revenge has to be considered in the long run. ”
These days, Liu Bei is almost in a state of not eating or sleeping, which makes Chen Gong very worried. Although he knew that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a deep brotherhood, he was an outsider after all, and he never expected Liu Bei to be depressed to such a point because of Guan Yu's death.
Chen Gong also thought of various ways to comfort Liu Bei, but the effect was minimal, and Liu Bei was still depressed.
And now, seeing Guan Yu's corpse with his own eyes, after all, the last trace of clarity in Liu Bei's consciousness no longer exists. Regarding Chen Gong's words, Liu Bei was unconscious.
"Think about it in the long run, stay in such a place where birds don't, you can't develop at all, no matter when you are a few soldiers, what else do you need to think about it in the long run!" Hearing that Chen Gong objected to his idea of sending troops to avenge Guan Yu, Zhang Fei was suddenly furious, if it weren't for the identity of the opponent's military advisor, maybe he would have directly hit someone.
Seeing Zhang Fei's angry and crazy look, Chen Gong sighed helplessly.
However, although Zhang Fei was unreasonable, what he just said was not completely unreasonable. Liu Biao took precautions against Liu Bei, although Liu Bei was arranged in this city, but the supply of various materials was very insufficient, and it was up to Liu Bei to find a way to solve it. Chuyang is only a small city in Jingzhou, and it is too difficult to be self-sufficient, and if you want to recruit soldiers, it will naturally be much more difficult. Although with the joint efforts of Liu Bei and himself over the years, the development of Chuyang City has been quite good, but there are still not many troops. So far, the total number of troops in the city is less than 20,000.
In addition to the problem of money and food, another big reason for the small number of troops in Chuyang City is the friction between Liu Biao and Sun Jian. Jingzhou and Jiangdong sometimes 'engaged' wars, and the city of Chuyang is close to the border of the two forces, once the two sides make any moves, Chuyang will inevitably be involved. Whenever Jingzhou and Jiangdong went to war, Liu Biao would inevitably borrow troops from Liu Bei, on the one hand, because he didn't want to see Liu Bei's strength expand too quickly and deliberately suppressed, and on the other hand, because Liu Biao really needed more troops to deal with the Jiangdong Sun clan. Therefore, Liu Bei finally expanded his forces a little every time, but he had to consume it in the war with Jiangdong, so Liu Bei has not been able to get too good development all the time.
In the face of such a situation, even if he is as resourceful as Chen Gong, there is no good way to change it, after all, with Liu Bei's current conditions, it is really too bad.
The number of troops is insufficient, and the number of generals and ministers under Liu Bei's account is also scarce. The Wenchen who followed Liu Bei's side, in addition to himself, only Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others were left. These people are okay in governance, but their level of strategy is really average, and it doesn't hurt to delegate some small things to them, but it is really difficult to entrust them with important tasks. After coming to Jingzhou, Liu Bei did not visit the famous and hermit in Jingzhou, but who would look down on a down-and-out prince under the fence of Jingzhou with outstanding talents? Liu Bei visited Jingzhou, Corporal Lixian, and in the end only recruited a scribe named Yi. From Chen Gong's point of view, although Yi's strategic ability is better than Jian Yong and others, it is only slightly better, and he is not a great talent.
The number of advisers is insufficient, and as for the generals, Liu Bei's command is even more scarce. After Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei was the only one who took the shot, Liu Bei's adopted son Liu Feng in Jingzhou was a bit brave, but at best he was a second-rate general, and the rest were like Mi Fang's generation, in the eyes of Chen Gong, almost the same as those useless idlers. If it weren't for Mi Fang's identity as Liu Bei's brother-in-law and Mi Zhu's younger brother, it would be impossible for him to 'mix' to his current status with his own ability.
Like Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and other generals who were supposed to follow Liu Bei, because Guan Yu was different from the ending in another time and space, and now they are still in the mountains as bandits. Of course, no matter how smart Chen Gong is, it is impossible to know about this.
In another time and space, Liu Bei was already pitiful enough in the early days, and due to various factors, in this era, Liu Bei's situation is even more tragic than several times.
With less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, relying on a few generals, do you still want to fight to Xuchang? Even if you come out of the nest, people Cao '' wants to kill you, it's just a matter of backlash.
