Chapter 201: Liu Bei leaves
The two armies engaged in a fierce battle in the overgrown hills.
Flesh and blood splattered, countless blood sprayed on the weeds, dyeing the green grass red, and these weeds were also trampled to the ground because of the trampling of soldiers and war horses.
But because Sun Jian was shot to the ground by a rain of arrows, his life and death are unknown.
It also made the Jiangdong Army weaker in morale.
Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu, riding war horses, wielding weapons in their hands, desperately killed the place where Sun Jian fell.
Saw.
Sun Jian was spitting blood, but he was unconscious, with three arrows stuck in his chest, blood gushing out of the wound, and the weapon was also dropped to the side.
"Demou, help the lord to get on the horse, you hold the lord, and I will break off with the lord!" Han Dang shouted.
"Good!"
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai didn't hesitate and responded.
Huang Gai and Han Dang were on the left and right, killing the Jingzhou army that was about to rush up, blocking the falling arrows, and Cheng Pu jumped off the war horse and helped Sun Jian, who had been unconscious, onto the war horse, before sitting on it again, holding Sun Jian with both hands, pulling the reins of the horse, and rushing to one place.
Seeing this, Huang Gai and Han Dang did not love to fight, and followed directly behind them, protecting them on the left and right.
Now that Sun Jian is injured and in critical condition, and this is the boundary of Jingzhou, the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army can only break through and rush out.
After a fierce fight.
Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Cheng Pu also escorted Sun Jian to break out.
As soon as he broke through, he directly led the soldiers and horses that broke through without looking back, and galloped away without making contact with the Jingzhou army.
See unable to catch up.
Kuai Yue also made the soldiers stop, no longer continuing the pursuit, cleaning the battlefield, and taking prisoners.
Liu Bei also had some regrets, after all, he didn't confirm whether Sun Jian was dead or alive, but what could be confirmed was that Sun Jian was shot and the injury was not light.
This battle can also be said to be a big victory.
At least two-thirds of the Jiangdong Army remained here, and only one-third fled.
In the mouth of the captive.
Liu Bei and others also learned that the jade seal of the country was not here, as early as when he was in Luoyang, Sun Jian had already asked people to leave secretly, pretending to be ordinary people, leaving directly from the official road, and returning to Jiangdong directly with the jade seal of the country.
And they're just a decoy.
Walking on the trail, it also makes people think that the heirloom jade seal is still here, and take the opportunity to let the people who really escort the heirloom jade seal be able to reach the land of Jiangdong safely.
Hear the words of the people in the know among the captives.
Liu Bei and the others felt a little regretful.
After all, in an ambush, except for defeating the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, he couldn't get any benefits, and even Sun Jian's life and death could not be confirmed.
However, this is a normal thing.
Sun Jian got the heirloom jade seal, and he knew that this was a heavy treasure, but it was also a hot item, and there would definitely be other arrangements, which was not a strange thing.
Now they didn't continue to think about intercepting and escorting people with heirloom jade seals on official roads, because there was no need for that.
According to the time and distance, those who walked the official road had already left the land of Jingzhou and could not be stopped.
I have no choice but to give up.
"Lord Kuai, General Cai, since this matter is over, then I will no longer bother, and I am ready to set off immediately and rush back to the plains!" Liu Bei arched his hand.
The reason why he came to help Yuan Shao deliver the letter also persuaded Liu Biao to send troops to intercept Sun Jian.
That's because he has his own plans, on the surface, he sold Yuan Shao's favor and showed himself, but the main purpose is to get the jade seal of the country.
That's right.
He came with the intention of getting the jade seal of the country, you know, after he is a relative of the Han family, if he gets the jade seal of the country, it will be very different.
If there is no such purpose.
How could he do such a thing that offended Jiangdong, it was not in his interests.
Now that there are no benefits, there is no desire to stay.
"Oh, Lord Liu is leaving, why don't you go back to Xiangyang to rest?" Kuai Yue asked.
For Liu Bei, he was wary, this was reminded by his brother Kuai Liang, it was obvious that Liu Bei came to Jingzhou this time with bad intentions.
It sounds so good, it is for the imperial court to recover the jade seal of the country, if this is really the case, why not lead the army to pursue it yourself, but let them send troops to Jingzhou?
It's all just an excuse.
But they also have a purpose, that is, to get rid of Sun Jian, so that they don't know Liu Bei's plans and use each other.
"No, after all, the matter is over, and the plain also needs me to go back to deal with affairs, so I won't stay for a long time, and I ask Lord Kuai to greet Lord Thorn Shi for me!" Liu Bei said.
Although he has his own plans, he still wants to be good friends with Liu Biao.
Having one more friend is always beneficial.
Not to mention, the land of Jingzhou controlled by Liu Biao is still a rich place.
Kuai Yue was not ready to continue to persuade, and arched his hand: "In this way, I will no longer keep Lord Liu, I wish Lord Liu a smooth journey!" ”
Hear the words.
Liu Bei also gave up his hand to Kuai Yue, of course, he didn't forget Cai Mao, after all, Cai Mao still has some connections with him.
Without Cai Mao's persuasion, maybe Liu Biao would not have agreed to send troops to intercept Sun Jian so easily.
In the end, he didn't stay any longer, and directly took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the cronies who followed him, and went in the direction of the plain.
His foundation is in the plains.
Moreover, the soldiers and horses under his command also followed Gongsun Zhan's large army and rushed back.
Now he still maintains a very good relationship with Gongsun Chan, and Gongsun Chan will not refuse this trivial matter.
Wait for Liu Bei to take people away.
Kuai Yue and Cai Mao did not stay here for a long time, took soldiers and horses, escorted the prisoners, and rushed back in the direction of Xiangyang City.
They also need to go back to Liu Biao to report the development of the matter.
And they didn't really confirm Sun Jian's situation, they still needed to go back to report and prepare accordingly.
If Sun Jian died, it would be better to say; If he didn't die, then next, Sun Jian would definitely have revenge, prepare first, there would be no such harm after all.
Of course, they didn't think that Sun Jian would still be alive, but seeing three arrows inserted into Sun Jian's chest, even if he didn't die in the battle, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
What the real situation is, we still need to send secret agents to Jiangdong to inquire about the situation before we can find out.
As for how the situation will develop, it depends on Sun Jian's real situation.
And the fact that Liu Biao sent troops to intercept Sun Jian also spread quickly and was known to the world.
