Chapter 752: Here Comes the Opportunity

Chen Gong sighed all the way and followed Liu Bei to the direction of the camp.

Suddenly, Chen Gong reined in the horse's reins and stopped the horse.

Liu Bei saw Chen Gong stop, and hurriedly asked, "Gongtai, why did you stop suddenly?" Our camp is threatened, and the baggage and grain and grass will also be destroyed by Wang Can's soldiers, so retreat quickly! ”

Chen Gong's brows were deeply locked, and he said: "Xuande Gong, we are constantly retreating, and Lu Meng is also leading the soldiers to rush here, this is a typical siege of Wei to save Zhao." When we returned, once Lu Meng set up an ambush on our way back, wouldn't we just fall for their scheme, and this time we returned to the camp, it was likely that we would be ambushed! ”

After Liu Bei heard this, his face suddenly changed.

Damn, it's all the trouble caused by Yuan Shu's idiot.

Liu Bei's expression was uncertain, and after hesitating, he said: "Gongtai, even if we know that Lu Meng's soldiers may set up an ambush on the road, but our grain and grass and baggage are in the camp, once the grain and grass are destroyed by the soldiers led by Lu Meng, the army will immediately mutiny, no matter whether it is a sword mountain or a sea of fire ahead, we must go back." ”

Liu Bei raised his head slightly, his expression was resolute, revealing a rigid domineering.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.

It's just that Liu Bei has to make such a choice after weighing his interests.

Chen Gong nodded and said, "Xuande is reasonable, continue to hurry." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Gong reached out and patted the horse's back, and galloped on horseback. Liu Bei saw that Chen Gong still had a worried expression on his face, and continued: "Don't worry, Gongtai, I have sent all the scouts to the front to inquire about the news, as long as we find Lu Meng's ambush, we will kill them all, plus Yide is here, we are not afraid of Lu Meng's army." ”

Zhang Fei carried the Zhangba snake spear and said with a grin: "What the eldest brother said is that I Zhang Fei is here to ensure the safety of the eldest brother and Mr. Chen." Alas, it would be nice if the second brother was also there. ”

Zhang Fei mentioned Guan Yu, and Liu Bei suddenly stopped talking.

Based on Liu Bei's experience, it is speculated that Guan Yu was most likely captured or killed, but Guan Yu's body was not revealed, which made Liu Bei still have a little hope in his heart.

Chen Gong was worried about Lu Bu, so he didn't speak, and retreated with his soldiers.

The army rushed to the camp, but found no soldiers of LΓΌ Meng along the way. Not only that, even a scout did not encounter it, such a situation made Liu Bei puzzled, because Yuan Shu said that Lu Meng's army was coming in the direction of the camp, how could no one have encountered it?

After Liu Bei, Chen Gong and Zhang Fei returned to the camp, they immediately ordered the soldiers to strengthen the defense of the camp.

Then, Liu Bei and his party came to Yuan Shu's big tent.

Liu Bei looked serious and asked in a deep voice: "General Yuan, you sent scouts to say that Lu Meng came to the camp with soldiers, but we rushed all the way back, and we didn't even find a single figure, could it be that General Yuan deliberately deceived us." Hmph, didn't General Yuan know that the army attacked Shangyong City, and countless soldiers had been killed and wounded, and the army suddenly withdrew, falling short! ”

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said: "Xuande, the scout has indeed heard the news that Lu Meng's army is coming, there is no falsehood, if there is a falsehood, I, Yuan Shu, would like to be thundered by the sky, and ten thousand arrows pierce my heart." ”

Liu Bei snorted, but did not speak.

The ancients attached great importance to oaths, and Yuan Shu swore with his own life, and Liu Bei immediately believed it.

It's just that the anger in Liu Bei's heart is difficult to eliminate.

Chen Gong thought about it carefully, and said: "Since the news heard by the scouts will not be false, it is possible that Lu Meng pretended to make a noise and deliberately let our army return to the camp, but Lu Meng made a false shot and led the troops back to Shangyong City; However, it is also possible that LΓΌ Meng led the soldiers to arrive, but did not catch up with our army, and was on the way behind. It is difficult to guess what the situation will be. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled helplessly.

As Chen Gong said, there are too many possibilities for Lu Meng's army to deduce.

At this point, the only way to determine the outcome was to send scouts to find out the news and strengthen the defense of the camp.

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and said slowly: "General Yuan's soldiers suffered heavy losses, so they rested in the camp, and Gongtai and General Yuan were responsible for handling the military affairs of the camp, settling the soldiers, and at the same time trying to strengthen the defense of the camp as much as possible." Well, I immediately sent my scouts to inquire about the news, and always keep an eye on the situation of LΓΌmeng's army, lest they lead a large army to attack the camp. ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he immediately agreed.

He didn't complete the task, he was in a loss in his heart, and he didn't have the confidence to speak.

Now that Liu Bei is magnanimous and has not held him accountable for this matter, Yuan Shu has felt a lot better in his heart, and he is very willing to cooperate with Chen Gong to deal with the affairs of the army.

Chen Gong listened to Liu Bei's words, nodded, and then got up and returned to his camp.

When LΓΌ Bu and Yuan Shu fought with Wang Can, they lost so many soldiers that Liu Bei had the right to speak. Now that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's army is dead and wounded, only Liu Bei and soldiers are left, and Chen Gong still has to appease the soldiers under Lu Bu, and the matter of sending to inquire about the news can only rely on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei returned to the camp, and the two guests sat down.

Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, I thought about it carefully, the second brother may have an accident. ”

Zhang Fei has a short temper and looks like a fool, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Fei is like a fool. When he and Liu Bei attacked the city together, Guan Yu did not appear; When the city gate was opened, Guan Yu still did not appear; Now that the war is over, Guan Yu still hasn't returned.

In such a situation, Zhang Fei was very worried.

Liu Bei sighed and said: "It's all my fault for this matter, if it weren't for the greed in my heart, thinking of entering the city first, thinking of occupying the mediocre first, I wouldn't let the second brother take risks." Now that the second brother has entered the city with soldiers, but there is no news, he must have encountered danger, otherwise there would be no news! ”

Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei's sad expression, and hurriedly comforted: "Big brother, the second brother has excellent martial arts, and it is rare to meet opponents, there will be no danger, I just talk about it, just talk about it." ”

Liu Beiqiang smiled to himself and said: "Alas, I can only wait for news now, I hope the second brother is fine!" After a pause, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "If something happens to the second brother, I will definitely wash the city of Yongcheng in blood and avenge the second brother!" ”

Zhang Fei nodded solemnly, his expression a little heavy.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, but there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent.

A scout commander lifted the curtain of the camp tent, ran in quickly, saluted Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and then clasped his fists and said: "Lord, the last general has discovered Lu Meng's army, and they are chasing in the direction of the camp, but the soldiers gathered by Lu Bu are also returning to the camp, and the two sides are likely to meet one after the other, and then a big battle will occur." ”

After Liu Bei heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

As Chen Gong guessed, Lu Meng did not catch up with them, but was left behind.

However, this shows one point, that is, when Liu Bei and Chen Gong were still outside Shangyong City, the soldiers led by Lu Meng had not yet arrived in Shangyong City, and there was still a long distance from their camp, and Lu Meng only made the idea of attacking the camp, but Yuan Shu was timid and afraid that the camp would be lost, so he asked Liu Bei to lead the soldiers back to help.

In this way, Liu Bei lost the opportunity to attack Shangyong City.

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more angry he became, he slapped the table and scolded: "Stupid, stupid!" ”

He scolded twice in a row, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he felt that the opportunity he was waiting for had come. Liu Bei raised his head, looked at the scout who reported the news, and asked in a deep voice, "You have found out the news that Lu Meng and Lu Bu may have met together, how many people do you know?" Is there any news out? ”

The commander of the scout immediately said: "Back to the lord, the news has not come out, and we are the only people who know. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he stood up suddenly.

The opportunity has really come.
