Chapter 10: The Last Resistance

When Yuan Yun met with the first clan in Chengdu, different people came to ask for a meeting for several days, and there were almost more than a dozen groups of such people before and after, and these people all had one purpose, that is, they chose to take refuge and were willing to help the gunpowder army as an internal agent.

In addition to meeting these people every day, Yuan Yun's other job is to integrate these people, because it can be seen from their separate gunpowder army camp that they are not a whole, if it is just a single action of individual clans, the effect will naturally not be much, once they are integrated, this is a strong force.

After another half a month, these surrender factions in the city were finally integrated by Yuan Yun and Zhuge Liang, and a very good system was made, and the first task given to these people was not to fight, but to let them advise the people in the city not to blindly work for Liu Bei.

The power of the clan was much deeper than that of Liu Bei in Chengdu, so under various advice and explanations, the rumor that the so-called gunpowder army would slaughter the city was finally annihilated, and there were fewer and fewer people who were willing to follow the defenders in the city out of the city to attack the gunpowder army.

By the last day of summer, Chengdu's defenses were almost useless, but Yuan Yun chose to continue to wait, otherwise the Gunpowder Army would have already attacked the inner city.

Fa Zheng seemed to have been prepared for this result for a long time, and the only place where he couldn't put his mind at ease was Liu Bei, who he swore allegiance to, so he hurried to Liu Bei's official residence early this morning.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that Liu Bei had been fully armored, and seemed to be planning to lead his own soldiers out of the house, and after asking a few team members, Fa Zheng confirmed Liu Bei's thoughts, and he was ready to personally attack the gunpowder army.

"Lord, this is not the time to be brave, we should choose to take refuge temporarily, as long as we retreat to the direction of Yunnan, where there are many mountains and forests, and the miasma is swirling, and the military who is not familiar with the local area cannot enter at all, as long as we can retreat there, we will have more choices." After Fa Zheng finished speaking, his mind was full of sweat.

Liu Bei didn't react at all, he was still commanding his own soldiers, making all kinds of preparations, and he didn't have the idea of fleeing to Yunnan, but as a generation of heroes, he understood very well that once Chengdu was lost, even if he survived, he would never be able to make a comeback.

After the world was pacified, with the scarce resources of Yunnan, it would be good to be able to block the invasion of the imperial army, and what to do later might be a joke at all, so he made a very simple decision.

That is to die on the battlefield, at least this will not tarnish his name Liu Bei, cowardice and fear of death has never been his character, even if he has escaped many times, but it is a retreat with hope, now Guan Yu died in battle, Zhang Fei was captured, and the forces that can be relied on at hand are getting weaker and weaker, plus Cao Cao has passed the red cliff to unify Yangzhou and other places, and all opportunities no longer exist.

In this way, it is more comfortable to have a happy duel.

After the sinking of these days, Liu Bei's negative attitude evolved into the idea of death, and as for the past of seeking perfection for his ideals and ambitions, he finally showed his true attitude at this moment, that is, extreme disgust.

"Will Xiaozhi stay in the city and continue to be trapped, or will he go out with me to fight?" Liu Bei asked suddenly, and when he asked, his face was even filled with a smile, and there was no pessimism at all.

Fa Zheng looked at Liu Bei who looked like this, and was shocked, this is the lord he has never seen, in the past, Liu Bei was always courteous in everything, and always showed a gentleman's style when dealing with people, and what he saw at this moment was indeed a hero who was not afraid of death.

"Since the lord has such a heroic bearing, I have a reason to refuse, so let me accompany the lord in this battle, although I have no power to restrain the chicken, but there is still a lot to be done as the lord's pawn." Fa Zheng finally gave up the idea of escaping, because of Liu Bei's influence, his body burned inexplicably.

Five hundred soldiers, plus the remaining 40,000 defenders, Liu Bei stood on the school field in the city, the mask on his face reflected the sun, looking shining, everyone looked at the lord who looked like this, they all felt proud, especially after hearing Liu Bei's impassioned pre-war encouragement, everyone had a desire to sacrifice their lives for it.

In Dongcheng, when Yuan Yun had just finished breakfast, he heard a report from the scout, saying that Liu Bei personally led an army of 40,000 troops to gather at the east gate, and seemed to be planning to launch a surprise attack on the artillery camp of the Gunpowder Army.

When Yuan Yun heard the news, his face was full of doubts, he never thought that Liu Bei would be so bold and did not choose to escape, but to have a decisive battle with him.

After Zhuge Liang on the other side of the table heard the news, he admired it, waved off the scout, and then smiled at Yuan Yun: "Liu Bei is not a loser, but he is a hero among the people, after the fall of Chengdu this time, he has already guessed that there is no chance of a comeback, so he came out very quickly to fight, such a person should call him a hero." ”

Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, but his face was full of unhappiness, and after swallowing a bun, he continued unhappily: "Liu Bei is just stupid, at this time, people will choose to run away, the so-called stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, although Shi Yuan has blocked his back road, but as long as he really wants to escape, on the huge land of Chengdu, it is still very difficult for us to capture it, and it is not the first time he has chosen to escape, when he faced Lu Bu, he didn't even want a wife in order to survive, but now he is pretending to be a hero?" ”

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, and said: "The problem is not this, Liang means that Liu Bei has already thought clearly, the reason why he chose to escape in the past, because there was still hope at that time, this time the imperial court has recovered Yangzhou, and Yizhou has also been completely broken by our Luoyang, Liu Bei, who has no hope, is naturally unwilling to continue to escape, but chooses to fight with us for the last time, Liang calls him a hero because of this." ”

Xiao Liu also stood on Zhuge Liang's side at this time, and said: "What Kong Ming said is that because most people will choose to run away at this time of crisis, this Liu Bei's choice can be called a hero." ”

Yuan Yun looked at Xiao Liu very unpleasantly, this product is now very familiar with Zhuge Liang, so some rules in the army are not exquisite, it stands to reason where he has the right to interject at this time.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun flew out of his leg in an instant, but he didn't kick it, so he could only continue to gnaw on a bun angrily, and then said: "A hero is a hero, no matter what he is, since he dares to come out for a decisive battle today, then he will be crushed and scattered, and from then on the world will be unified, and I will go home to retire." ”

"The lord doesn't go to the front of the battle in person? Since Liu Bei chose to go into battle in person, as the commander of the gunpowder army, he should naturally have a certain amount of courtesy. Zhuge Liang suggested again.

Yuan Yun thought for a while when he heard this, and finally shook his head and said: "Lao Tzu never thought that Liu Bei was a hero, you also saw it on the way when he came, the rich Yizhou is now made like a ghost domain, how can such a person call him a hero?" As for the number of etiquette, don't pay attention to it, isn't Liu Bei lined up to attack? Then let the artillery battalion and rifle battalion be ready, Lao Tzu wants his men to not even reach our position, this is the number of gifts I give to Liu Bei. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Yun seemed to remember something again, so he looked at Xiao Liu and said: "If Liu Bei can be captured alive, then bring him to me, I said a long time ago that the next time we meet, he Liu Bei can only be used as a prisoner." ”

Zhuge Liang saw that Yuan Yun had made a decision very surely, and he no longer persuaded anything, and quickly released Yuan Yun's order, so the gunpowder army immediately began to operate, Huang Zhong felt particularly relieved this time, because in this battle, their rifle battalion will be the absolute main force, and Zhao Yun and Wei Yan can only serve as two wing supports.

Seeing that everyone had left their tents, Yuan Yun had already kicked his boots aside, and then just lay on the bed with his hands on the back of his head, today always has to set a result for everything, if Liu Bei can be captured alive, I am afraid there are many questions to ask him.

It's just that when he thought of what to ask, Yuan Yun was at a loss again, for a hypocritical pervert, he really didn't know where to start, the past in Xu Du, Liu Bei at that time seemed very kind, and once made Yuan Yun regard him as a very good friend, but the result was that this so-called friend was calculating himself all the time, and he almost took his own life.

And what is there to ask about these things, for Liu Bei, if he wants to obtain the gunpowder technique brought by Yuan Yun, it is a natural thing, and his ambition is not to be the master of this world.

From this point of view, Cao Cao is even more admirable, at least this old man has made it clear that he will never replace Han, even if he takes all the rights in the world, at most he is just a king.

But according to the history books, Liu Bei is indeed the emperor of Yizhou, among the earliest heroes of the Three Kingdoms, only he Liu Bei did this, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are just kings.

In this way, it can also be seen that Liu Bei is a hypocrite, such a master who harbors evil intentions, where do he have any questions that need to be asked?

"Someone! Go and tell the front that Liu Bei doesn't need to leave a living mouth, and the person who cuts off his head will have a bounty of 10,000 yuan, and 10,000 stones of grain, rice, and rice! ”

With Yuan Yun's new order issued, there was a sudden sound of artillery at the east gate, Liu Bei's suicide charge seemed to have finally begun, according to the past battles, such a charge could last for half an hour at most, and then it would be a large-scale rout, and then it would be killed by Zhao Yun who was ambushed on the side.
