It was night, the stars were in the sky, and the moon was gone.

Inside the tent, Liu Bei frowned, and the male and female double-strand swords were pinned to his waist, looking like an ordinary sword. In front of Liu Bei, Meng Fang, Sun Qian, Guan Jing, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Guan Ping were all seated separately, and everyone's faces were covered with gloomy clouds, obviously not in a very good mood.

In today's battle, Yuan Shao won a complete victory, and Liu Bei's side was a loss of soldiers, the most tragic is undoubtedly Bai Ma Yicong, who was frustrated and calculated, and lost more than one-third, but fortunately, in the end, Bai Ma Yicong successfully broke out of the encirclement with the world's first speed, otherwise Yuan Shao would have destroyed Bai Ma Yicong here today.

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth at this moment, suddenly came to Liu Bei, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "Lord, this time it was Yun's mistake that led to the defeat of our army, all the reasons are on Yun, and please punish the lord." ”

Zhao Yun's words were powerful, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. And Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun in front of him, but shook his head, and said: "Zilong, it's not your fault, it's all that Yuan Shao has calculated too much, and even the Chixiao Sword in my hand has been counted by him, otherwise even if you are blocked, with the power of the Chixiao Sword, it will be enough to turn the situation around, but who knows······ Alas, it can only be said that God is not willing to let me win here. ”

"Lord!"

Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, Zhao Yun wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Liu Bei with a wave of his hand.

"Zilong, step aside, today's defeat, the reason is not you, I underestimated that Yuan Benchu, I thought he would force us with a large army, how did he calculate so deeply."

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei, a little excitement in the depths of his eyes, and then retreated to his position.

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Meng Fang at this moment and asked: "Military Division, now that our army has been defeated and morale is low, I don't know what to do next?" ”

Meng Fang was bitter, and today's battle also had a little reason for him, how could Yuan Shao be so fierce and directly defeat Liu Bei, and also hit Meng Fang's self-confidence hard. However, Meng Fang quickly adjusted and said to Liu Bei.

"My lord, my subordinates think that we should withdraw from Bohai as soon as possible at this moment, retreat to Qingzhou, step by step, and intercept layer by layer."

"What!" Hearing Meng Fang's words, Liu Bei didn't react, that Zhang Fei was the first to sit still, and Zhang Fei stared at Meng Fang with a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, and said angrily: "Meng Fang, do you mean that we are going to give up Bohai?" Do you know how much effort we put in to win Bohai at the beginning, how many brothers we lost, and now you want us to give up Bohai with a word, what are your intentions? ”

Although Guan Yu didn't speak, Danfeng's eyes, which were originally slightly squinted, were completely open, looking at Meng Fang, and an amazing momentum rose from Guan Yu's body and pressed towards Meng Fang.

After Liu Bei took the Bohai Sea, the Bohai Sea has always been guarded by Guan Yu. In the past few years, Guan Yu has also operated a lot in Bohai, and now Meng Fang wants Liu Bei to give up Bohai with a word, which is undoubtedly to make everything Guan Yu did in the previous years useless, how can Guan Yu not care?

In the face of the oppression of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Meng Fang was not afraid, and said: "The two generals are angry for the time being, listen to me." ”

"Yun Chang, Yide, don't be rude, since Meng Junshi has made such a suggestion, it must be taken into consideration, you might as well listen to Meng Junshi's opinion first." Liu Bei reprimanded Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at this time, and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to retreat, but the two of them were locked on Meng Fang at the moment, as long as Meng Fang couldn't come up with any strong statement, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would definitely let Meng Fang not be able to eat any good fruit.

Meng Fang sorted out his thoughts at this moment, looked at the three Liu Guanzhang brothers in front of him, and sighed in his heart, but his face did not change.

Although Liu Bei's words seem to be relieving himself, it can also be heard that Liu Bei does not want to give up Bohai, but this is also human nature, the land of Bohai is extremely rich, such a good piece of territory, if it is not at the last moment, who is willing to give up? Even Meng Fang himself, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no other way, how could he let Liu Bei give up Bohai and return to Qingzhou?

"My lord, generals, I only ask one question, that is, with our current situation, can we hold the Bohai Sea?"

Listening to Meng Fang's question, Liu Bei and the others' faces suddenly turned gloomy, and the answer to this question was undoubtedly yes, that is, they would definitely not be able to hold the Bohai Sea. Now that Yuan Shao has won a big victory, his morale is high, and his generals are working together, although Liu Bei's strength in Bohai is not weak, it is definitely not Yuan Shao's opponent.

Liu Bei looked at Meng Fang at this time and asked, "Military Division, can we only withdraw from the Bohai Sea?" ”

Meng Fang nodded and said: "If you can't hold it, then retreat, this Yuan Shao is in such a situation this time, I feel that he will not give up if he doesn't defeat us, and the best thing for us now is to retreat to Qingzhou and block it layer by layer, so that it is difficult for Yuan Shao to achieve too many results." You must know that now Gongsun Du and Lu Bu are also leading troops to attack Youzhou and Jizhou, especially Lu Bu, with Lu Bu's strength, Lu Yi and Han Qiong may be able to resist in a short time, but after a long time, it is absolutely unstoppable. So as long as we can hold it, then Yuan Shao will definitely withdraw to Jizhou, and then we can make a comeback when we see the situation. Otherwise, if we continue to stalemate with Yuan Shao in the Bohai Sea, it may be that Lu Bu and Gongsun Du will benefit in the end. ”

"That's right!" Liu Bei also figured it out at this time, they continued to stay in Bohai, and it would definitely not be them who would benefit in the end, but Na Lu Bu and Gongsun Du. Although the three of them were allies before, at this moment, Liu Bei did not hesitate to abandon Lu Bu and Gongsun Du.

"Yun Chang, Yide, go down quickly and light up the troops and horses, we will leave tomorrow, and we can't delay here. Zilong, the task of keeping vigil tonight will be handed over to you, although it should be impossible for Yuan Shao to come to the night attack, but he also has to guard against it, if Yuan Shao orders someone to come to the night attack, it must be discovered early. ”。

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun all got up to receive orders at this time, and Meng Fang didn't feel so gloomy in his heart when he saw the three fierce generals who obeyed Liu Beiyan.

Although Liu Bei lost in the Bohai Sea this time and lost his troops, he did not hurt his muscles and bones, and the most important thing is that Liu Bei still has Qingzhou and half of Xuzhou behind him, which is enough to support Liu Bei to stand up again after this defeat. In this world, it is not possible to decide the ownership after one or two battles, and it will be a long time in the future, although Yuan Sha won this time, he may not be able to have the last laugh.
