Qinghe City.

Outside the city, there were victims of the disaster, and the cries of grief stretched between heaven and earth.

At the head of the city, Liu Bei looked at all this outside, and the pain in his heart was already the most serious in his life.

He was also a man who had a foundation, and becoming a prince was just around the corner.

And this big water poured a cold heart.

How did Qin Mengjie know that there would be a big flood this year?

Liu Bei simply couldn't understand.

At the beginning, when Qin Ye repaired the river embankment, Liu Bei was still shocked. After all, Qin Ye is already strong, not to mention expanding his territory, but he is going to repair the river embankment.

Will there be a lot of water?

At that time, Liu Bei preferred to believe that this was a ploy by Qin Ye.

If he also followed the embankment, the little money and food would be consumed. At that time, Qin Ye came to beat him, as simple as pinching an ant to death.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not repair the river embankment.

The flood is coming.

Since Qin Ye and Cao Cao in the upper reaches had built river embankments, the water that should have spread to them all reached Liu Bei's territory.

Liu Bei's territory became the only place to receive the flood, and it was already the first in history to suffer so badly.

At this moment, Liu Bei grabbed his hair and kept greeting Qin Ye.

"Big brother, hurry up and open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief. If not, I don't know how many people will die in one day. Zhang Fei glared at the copper bell.

Following his words, everyone looked to the northwest and saw black smoke billowing out, and there was a faint smell of burning.

Liu Bei has been hesitant to open a warehouse and release grain.

Because he didn't have much food and herbs, if it was a disaster, his army's food reserves would be insufficient.

What's even worse is that the entire plain county has become a pool of water, and the grain must be harvested.

In other words, even if he is a disaster relief, he can only survive for a few months. Subsequently, even if Qin Ye didn't come to attack him, he himself would collapse because of the lack of food.

Both the people and the army will collapse.

Liu Bei found himself too difficult.

Why, why does God treat himself like this when it comes to improvement?

He is in his thirties, but he has never given up, because he always thinks that even if his fate is not good, it should not be worse than Liu Bang, the ancestor who only improved at the age of forty, right?

But it doesn't seem to be strong at all.

After all, although the old man Gaozu only began to improve at the age of forty, he had not suffered so many blows before the age of forty.

It's all because of Qin Mengjie.

Liu Bei needed a reason very much, and that reason was the appearance of Qin Ye. He felt that if Qin Ye hadn't appeared, he would have been able to step into the regular process as early as the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Disaster relief is tantamount to chronic suicide.

How does this make Liu Bei choose?

Everyone looked at him, including his second and third brothers.

They believe that Liu Bei will definitely help the disaster.

Liu Bei's face twitched, unable to face these gazes.

"Report ......."

Liu Bei hurriedly turned around and saw a spy coming, "What's the matter?" ”

"Qin Ye's Jieqiao battalion has continuously increased its troops."

"Qin Ye's soldiers and horses are being mobilized."

Liu Bei lost his color, but he also avoided disaster relief, he hurriedly said to Guan Yu Zhang Fei: "Qin Ye is here, my heart is clearly revealed, and disaster relief needs to be retreated from the enemy." ”

So, Liu Bei and others hurried to the Jieqiao camp.

Moreover, Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to Gongsun Zhan for help.

Three days later.

East of Jieqiao, Liu Beijun's camp.

"The size of the Qin army has exceeded 30,000, but it seems that the increase in troops has ended." Guan Yu touched his beard with a grim face.

Liu Bei's troops have 20,000 people, and it seems that the gap in strength is not too big.

But they all knew that the combat effectiveness of their own troops was far from that of the Qin army. This mainly comes from the gap in weapons and equipment.

The Qin army, which owns the Pu family, the first blacksmith family, is by no means comparable to the army of small princes like Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has been standing still, waiting for news from Gongsun Zhan.

"Lord!"

Liu Bei hurriedly looked over and went down to greet him, "Xianhe, can General Gongsun send reinforcements?" ”

Jian Yong was very difficult, "My lord, General Gongsun is also quite difficult. The Qin army, Zhang Liao, had already entered the Nanpi region, which made General Gongsun have to send troops to the enemy. Therefore, only three thousand reinforcements were sent. ”

Liu Bei was very worried about the need to face Qin Ye alone.

"How is this good, how is this good?" He looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong.

Guan Yu touched his beard, twisted his face forty-five degrees upward, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I am afraid that the field battle is not Qin Ye's opponent." ”

Liu Bei nodded, and said in his heart that what you said was right, but what can you do?

"It's better to give up the Jieqiao camp and retreat to Qinghe City." Guan Yu said again.

Everyone looked at each other, and although they knew that it was not appropriate, there was no better way.

Just when Liu Bei couldn't help but agree.

Guan Yu spoke again, he was tall, and he looked down at everyone, "It's not appropriate to just blindly defend." It is better to retreat and lure the enemy into ambushing Qin Ye. Frustrate its sharpness, so as to defend the city. ”

Liu Bei was worried, "Second brother, the Qin army has more than 30,000 troops, if our army is ambushed, won't it be forced to fight a decisive battle?" ”

Obviously, he is not optimistic about ambushing superior enemies.

Guan Yu smiled slightly, "Big brother, then Qin Mengjie will definitely send a vanguard to chase after me when he hears that I have abandoned the Boundary Bridge Camp, and he is just in ambush." The first is to weaken the enemy's forces, and the second is to discourage the enemy. ”

"Thanks to my second brother." Liu Bei relied on a look and asked, "Who led the troops to lure the enemy?" ”

Zhang Fei immediately bumped into Gong Yu and looked over with big eyes, "Big brother, I'll go." ”

Liu Bei's heart trembled.

Guan Yu skimmed Zhang Fei and raised his eyes to look at it at forty-five degrees.

"The third brother can ambush with me, and your second brother needs to go to this matter in person." Liu Bei took Zhang Fei's hand and said.

Zhang Fei's face twitched a few times, and then he was silent.

Guan Yu said proudly: "Big brother, don't worry about ambushing." ”

By the next day.

The Qin army battalion.

"Report ......, Liu Bei withdrew from the Jieqiao camp."

Qin Ye was discussing with the think tanks about attacking the Boundary Bridge Camp now, and he got such news.

Xu Shu immediately said: "Lord, this must be Liu Bei's feeling that he is invincible to our army, this is to return to Qinghe to resist the city and resist." ”

Xun You came out and said: "Don't let the enemy retreat so easily, you need to send troops and horses to chase after you." If you can break through the enemy's palace troops and plunder the enemy's baggage, it will be extremely beneficial for the lord's next siege. ”

Liu Bei built the Jieqiao camp for a long time and gathered a lot of materials. Soldiers and horses can be withdrawn quickly, and these supplies go slowly. Therefore, the enemy will definitely send the troops of the Royal Highness.

If it can be broken, it will undoubtedly be a big victory.

"Who wants to chase the enemy?" Qin Ye looked at everyone humanely.

"I'll go!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly walked out.

"The last will go!" Zhao Yun walked out and said.

Qin Ye was very optimistic about the combination of Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, so he handed over 5,000 soldiers and horses and asked them to go after the enemy.

And tell them that he will then take the army with him, and answer it.
