Chapter 1582: It's better to give it to the Cao family than to get it yourself

The gates fell, and the flames burned.

There was chaos in Shinno City.

Everywhere were people fleeing for their lives and Liu Bei's soldiers.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others escorted Liu Bei to the south gate of the city.

When they reached the gate, they found it closed, and the hole in the gate was crowded with people who wanted to leave the city.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Zhang Fei shouted loudly and led a group of soldiers to rush forward.

"What's going on?" Rushing to the front, Zhang Fei shouted at an officer who had no six gods and no masters, "Why don't you open the city gate?" ”

"Back to the general, the city gate has been blocked from the outside." The officer shouted: "We can't open it." ”

"Rubbish, smash me." Zhang Fei shouted loudly.

The flames in the city grew stronger, and the people near the city gates could already feel the scorching heat.

The people and soldiers who failed to escape in time, many of them were swallowed by the flames, and the firewood and grass prepared by Liu Beijun earlier actually became a talisman to claim their own lives.

Zhang Fei led a group of people to carry wooden stakes and beat the city gate hard.

The gates trembled, but they never opened.

"Damn." Zhang Fei scolded: "If you do anything, you can block the city gate from the outside." ”

"General, the enemy has built a barrier outside the city gate." No matter how strong the city gate was, it was still knocked out of a gap, and a sharp-eyed officer shouted.

"Bump again!" Zhang Fei shouted: "When you are enough to go out alone, go out first, and break the hands and feet that the enemy has done outside." ”

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and people were slamming into the city gates in order to flee for their lives.

Finally, the gates were slammed open enough for a man to go out.

The crowd of black crushed people went out through this opening, not knowing how long it would go.

Zhang Fei asked people to block the people and soldiers who came up from behind, and first let a team of people go out of the city with hoes and shovels.

After the team left the city, they brandished tools to destroy the earthen ridge built by Cao Shuo's spies at the city gate.

They had only swung a few times when a rain of arrows flew from a dark corner not far away.

The rain of arrows fell, and the group fell to the ground.

Of course, those who are dead lie there quietly, and those who are not dead are rolling and wailing on the ground.

"Go out one more team and set up a shield formation for me." Zhang Fei shouted: "No matter what, open the city gate for me." ”

More soldiers poured out of the open gap.

At first, there were arrows flying in the distance, but as the gap in the gate grew larger, the arrows stopped.

The city gate finally opened, and the disgraced Liu Bei led the army out of the city.

didn't care about Xinye at all, Liu Bei shouted: "Soldiers, protect the people, follow me!" ”

The people of Xinye, who escaped from the city, refused to follow Liu Bei at all.

But Liu Bei's soldiers raised their swords against the people who resisted the most.

Forced by the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, the people reluctantly followed the army away.

The flames in Shinno Castle were burning brighter and brighter, and the departing procession was sad, and many women and children howled as they walked.

The people were upset when they cried, but the order to evacuate with the people was given by himself, and Liu Bei didn't say anything, but he looked back very dissatisfied.

"Brother, do you want to kill all those who are crying?" Zhang Fei asked in a low voice.

"So many people are crying, how can they be killed?" Liu Bei said: "Let them first, and wait until we find a place to stay." ”

He then asked Zhuge Liang, "Where should we go?" ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and replied: "Earlier, the lord also had a lot of kind people in Jingzhou, and there were also many in Xiangyang City. I heard that Liu Cong planned to dedicate Jingzhou to the Cao family, and there must be people who refused to agree. In my opinion, we might as well go to Xiangyang first, if we can take Xiangyang, we can mobilize Jingzhou soldiers and horses to fight to the death with the Cao family. ”

"Liu Jingsheng is my fellow clansman, and he gave me a place to stay when I was in trouble." Liu Bei said: "Now that I want to seize Xiangyang, how can I bear it? ”

"If the lord can't get Xiangyang, he will be won by the Cao family." Zhuge Liang said: "Jingsheng Gong is also surnamed Liu, and the lord is also surnamed Liu. If it falls into the hands of the Cao family, it is better to be taken by the lord. ”

"When is it that my brother is still interacting with a dead man?" Zhang Fei said on the side: "I think what Mr. Kong Ming said is right, Liu Jingsheng's surname is Liu, and his brother's surname is also Liu." Instead of asking Liu Cong to dedicate Jingzhou to the Cao family, it is better for his brother to take it. ”

"Is this really safe?" Liu Bei still asked Zhuge Liang with some hesitation.

"Nothing unsafe." Zhuge Liang said: "The Cao family's army came to attack, and it was supposed to destroy Jingzhou. The lord won Jingzhou, and Liu Jingsheng has to thank you for Jiuquan. ”

With his brows furrowed, Liu Bei pretended to think for a moment, and said to Zhuge Liang: "How to get Xiangyang depends on Kong Ming." ”

"Don't worry, my lord." Zhuge Liang said: "I will order people to enter Xiangyang first, find Neiying in the city, and welcome the lord into the city." ”

Liu Bei planned to capture Xiangyang, and Cai Mao was also on his way back to Xiangyang.

Along the way, he was galloping on horseback.

The officer who followed him immediately said: "The general doesn't need to be in such a hurry, Cao Zirong still has a few days to rush to Xinye......"

"Cao Zirong's siege of the city will never delay for too long." Cai Mao said: "And Liu Xuande is cunning, and it is difficult to say whether he will defend the city or not." Since Cao Zirong reminded us to guard Xiangyang, there must be something in Xiangyang, so it is safe to go back quickly. ”

The officer didn't say much, and escorted Cai Mao with a group of guards all the way to Xiangyang.

Xinye was burned, and Cao Shuo didn't get the news until the next morning.

After receiving the news, Cao Shuo continued to lead the army to Xinye.

Lu Bu, who was following him, said: "Childe, do you want me to take a detachment of soldiers and horses to Xinye first?" ”

"Don't look at it." Cao Shuo said: "There should be nothing left in Xinye City at this time, since Liu Xuande wants to take the people away, everyone who can leave must follow him." We go there, just to take a look and leave. ”

Lu Bu didn't say anything more.

Among the generals under Cao Shuo, he is the one who wants to kill Liu Bei the most.

But every time he saw the opportunity come, he was run away by Liu Bei.

"Does General Lu really want to kill Liu Xuande?" Cao Shuo asked with a grin at him.

"The big-eared thief is treacherous, and if I capture him, I will definitely break him into pieces." Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said.

"If I can really capture Liu Xuande, I will hand him over to General Lu." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Anyway, it's impossible for me to let him live, let anyone kill him." If it falls into the hands of my father, maybe he won't die, and I won't take such a risk. ”

"Thank you, Childe!" Cao Shuo promised to hand Liu Bei over to him for disposal, and Lu Bu hurriedly thanked him.

Pointing ahead, Cao Shuo said: "Pass the order, speed up the march, and go to Xinye first." ”
