Longle City, the main hall.

The night was dark, but Liu Bei Junchen had no intention of sleeping, gathered in the lobby, and sighed together.

Liu Bei sat on the top, holding his forehead with his hand, and his old face was full of helplessness and weakness.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals under the stairs are all speechless and depressed, where are they still half a famous general.

"Your Majesty, now that we have lost our skills, the last moment has come, and it is time to give up."

In the deathly silence, Zhuge Liang was the first to speak, and his tone was naturally full of helplessness and bitterness.

The word "give up" pierced Liu Bei's heart like a knife.

Of course, he could hear what Zhuge Liang said about giving up.

That means that he will give up this Longle City, give up the entire Middle Earth, and escape from the Yumen Pass to the west, and escape to the barren land of the Western Regions to eat sand.

Everyone's eyes focused on Liu Bei, their eyes were full of worry, for fear that Liu Bei would be too nostalgic for Middle-earth, and his brain would rather die than withdraw.

"That's it, pass the order, tonight, while the enemy army has not yet besieged the city, immediately leave the city and go to Yumen Pass." Liu Bei waved his hand weakly and made a decision.

His decision made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, but they were also quite surprised.

They didn't expect that Liu Bei would think so openly this time, and without too much persuasion, he happily ordered the city to be abandoned.

Zhuge Liang sighed softly, he knew Liu Bei best, and he could naturally see that after today's defeat, Liu Bei was completely disheartened and lost his courage, which is why he was so happy.

At this moment, in Liu Bei's heart, all the ambitions were gone, and only the idea of surviving and finding a way to live was left.

At night, the West Gate of Longle quietly opened, and Liu Bei led the remnants of less than 3,000 people to leave Longle City at night and silently fled in the direction of Yumen Pass.

At this time, the Wei army had just finished its retreat outside the east gate, and failed to complete the siege of the four gates of Longle City, and the number of Wei troops was also limited, so there was no way to achieve strict monitoring.

Under the cover of night, the 3,000 Han troops hurriedly went west.

The Longle City behind him was getting farther and farther away, and at the last moment, Liu Bei couldn't help but glance back, looking at the Longle City that disappeared into the night, and let out a helpless sigh.

……

The next day, it was bright and bright.

After a full meal, the Wei army began to move, camping along all sides of Longle City, preparing to complete the siege.

Su Zhe rode his horse and traveled between the camps to comfort the soldiers of yesterday's bloody battle and boost morale.

The sun rose in the east, illuminating the head of Longle City, Su Zhe inadvertently glanced at the head of the city, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There seemed to be twice as many flags on the city's head.

"Liu Bei lost half of his soldiers and horses, it stands to reason that there should be fewer flags, why are there more than that, could it be ......"

Suddenly, Su Zhe's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Where is Xu Gongming!" ”

"The minister is here." Xu Huang, who was following closely, stepped forward in a hurry.

Su Zhe pointed to Longle City and said, "I expect that Liu Bei is very likely to have escaped from the city at night, and you will immediately attack the city with your infantry army." ”

Xu Huang was stunned and said curiously: "How can Your Majesty tell that Liu Bei has fled?" ”

"Do you see the flags in the city?" Su Zhe's horsewhip pointed to the city of Longle.

Xu Huang is also a wise and brave general, looking up at the city a few times, his eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly realized.

Without saying a word, he immediately rushed away.

Less than half an hour later, nearly 10,000 infantry troops had all left the camp and launched an attack on Longle City in formation.

Su Zhe ordered the rest of the soldiers and horses to stop repairing the camp again, gathered all the soldiers and horses, and then rushed to the battlefield at the east gate.

When the follow-up army arrived in front of the battle, the siege battle had already ended, and the battle flag of Great Wei had been replaced on the city.

Ma Chao and the other generals were all surprised, they never expected that Xu Huang would be able to capture Longle so easily.

Su Zhe was not surprised at all, and led the rest of the soldiers and horses to enter Longle City in a mighty manner.

Ascending the city tower and looking down on the entire city, the building was already empty, and the remnants of the Han army fled completely.

And along the line of the city, there are indeed flags, and as for the Han soldiers on duty, they are all straw men in armor and pretend.

"Your Majesty is really like a god, and the big-eared thief really escaped." Xu Huang said excitedly.

Ma Chao kicked over a dummy and scolded: "Liu Bei escaped really fast, he was just defeated during the day yesterday, and he fled at night." ”

"However, Longle City is already the last city in Liangzhou, Liu Bei has abandoned this city, where else can he flee to?" Ma Yunlu was puzzled.

Su Zhe sneered: "Yunlu, you are wrong, Longle City is not the last, have you forgotten, in the westernmost part of it, there is also a Jade Gate Pass." ”

"Yumen Pass?" Ma Yunlu was shocked, but said: "Yumen Pass is said to be a closed city, but it is not even strong Longle City, I heard that it has been abandoned for many years, what else can Liu Bei do if he escapes there?" ”

At this time, Deng Ai suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister remembers that there was a detailed intelligence mentioned before, Liu Bei sent many young generals out of the Yumen West and went to the Western Regions, could it be that Liu Bei wanted to escape from the Yumen Pass to the Western Regions?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Ma Chao said disdainfully: "Although the Western Regions are vast, they are full of small countries, all of them are a gang of rabble, even if Liu Bei escapes there, what kind of climate can he become, is it possible that he still wants to unify the Western Regions, and then counterattack Middle-earth?" ”

"That's right!" Su Zhe nodded, "Although the Western Regions are small countries, there are at least one million people in total, if Liu Bei can integrate them, he may not be able to pull out a considerable army, you remember, you can never underestimate Liu Bei's ability to resurrect." ”

These words made the generals nervous again.

They originally wanted to capture Longle City, and Liu Bei's destruction was a foregone conclusion, and from then on, the western region of Great Wei would never be troubled, but who would have thought that Liu Bei would still have the intention of fleeing to the Western Regions.

For a time, the generals were talking and had their own opinions.

Su Zhe said sharply: "Now is not the time to discuss, pass the order, the army will immediately set off in pursuit, be sure to intercept and kill Liu Bei before he escapes from Yumen Pass, and cut off future troubles!" ”

The order was handed down, and Su Zhe left more than 10,000 infantry to guard Longle, and he led all the cavalry to the west to pursue Liu Bei who fled.

……

East of Yumen Pass.

It was almost dusk, and the team that had been lonely appeared to the east of Guancheng.

The banners were crooked, the soldiers were tired and languishing, everyone's faces were written with anxiety and anxiety, and under the dim sun, it was extremely desolate.

Liu Bei sat on the red horse on his crotch, marching silently, with the word "dignified" written on his gray face at all times.

"Your Majesty, the Jade Gate has closed." Zhao Yun's voice sounded beside him.

Liu Bei's heart was shocked, his thoughts came back from the solemnity, and when he looked up, he saw the end of the horizon and vaguely saw the outline of a closed city.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind him, the thousands of remnants of the Han army were in a sluggish spirit, and their faces were filled with joy in escaping and ascending to heaven.
