The southwest corner of Peiguo is in the city of Longkang, and Liu Bei led the defeated army to die here. Xiapi City was broken, in order to "leave it for a useful body", Liu Bei saw the opportunity and escaped, and when Cao Cao's main attention was not on himself, he desperately broke out of the encirclement.

But behind Cao Chun and Le Jin Er Cao will not give up, and they will chase after each other, and Liu Xun, the prime minister of Peiguo, will also lead the county soldiers to chase and intercept, entangled in several battles, and finally get rid of it. Up to now, there are only 2,000 soldiers who have fled with Liu Bei.

"My lord! To the west, it is the territory of Runan, and the Cao army should not chase after it. Sun Gan, a strategist who was subdued in Xuzhou, pointed to the west and said to Liu Bei

After fleeing for days, Liu Yuan was a little embarrassed, but there was not much frustration on his face. Since the first year of Zhongping, after a long time on the battlefield, the will and belief have long been as solid as iron and stone. Previously defeated by the Yellow Turban, Zang Hong, and Yuan Jun, and now defeated by Cao Cao, it is not too much to lose.

Liu Bei knew that it was not that his ability was insufficient, but that there was no other soil for survival in the Central Plains of Hebei. Princes like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have fame, status, clan support, and countless talents to use, and he can almost only rely on himself. After the defeat of Xiapi, even though the belief is still the same, Liu Bei still can't help but put a question mark in his heart, where to go.

Thinking about the battle of Xuzhou, many talented generals under Cao Cao, Liu Bei was really envious. He has managed to raise thousands of elite soldiers over the years, and now he has only remnants.

"Cross the river!" Liu Bei sighed and ordered: "Order Yide to come back, and after the whole army crosses the water, rest again!" ”

"No!" Although it has been freed from the pursuit of Cao's army, this place is still in Cao Cao's sphere of influence, and only after passing the Huaishui tributary in front of him can it be truly safe.

Near the water, a simple station was built, Guan Yu Guan Ping and his son led people to inspect the surroundings, Zhang Fei comforted the soldiers, and Liu Yuan sat on the shore, staring at the water and pondering.

"Husband! Let's take a sip of water! Gan got out of the car, walked to Liu Bei's side, and handed him a bag of water.

Liu Bei came back to his senses and turned his head to look at this concubine who had not been in a short time. Liu Bei seems to have a wife's life, married several wives, and died early. I don't know how long this will last.

took a sip: "Go back to the car and rest, it's about to march again!" ”

"Lord!" Seeing that Liu Bei's interest was not very high, Sun Qian and Jian Yong came to the side and called softly: "You still need to muster up your fighting spirit!" ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, it seems that his performance has misunderstood several people.

"Defeat is defeat! It's not that he has never been defeated, the battle of Xiapi is not a crime of war! Liu Bei smiled casually, glanced around, and said loudly: "Miss me Liu Bei, since the beginning of the army, I have traveled to many places and have been defeated repeatedly. Now, I still have all of you loyally by my side, and so many soldiers willing to follow me! Thank you very much for being prepared! ”

Liu Bei bowed to the surrounding soldiers and said firmly: "The world is so big, there is always a place for us!" And all of you are with you, Kuang Fu Dahan, the ambition of Jingping the world, there will always be a day to achieve! ”

The morale of the newly defeated army is not high, and the surrounding soldiers are all drooping. Hearing Liu Bei's words, many people were in good spirits. At this point, those who are still following Liu Bei are all real old men, and they are loyal to Liu Bei.

"Swear to follow the lord to the death and achieve great things!" Guan Yu, who had returned from the inspection, heard this and immediately shouted.

It immediately resonated, and the morale of the army was restored.

All the way to the west into Runan, at this time Runan under the management of Yuan Shu, has long since lost the weather of the Central Plains County. The county is full of displaced people, and bandits are rampant, and it is very chaotic. It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei is so easily transferred to it.

As the center of gravity of Yuan Shu's forces shifted to Jiujiang, Huainan, the rule of Runan was somewhat lax, and Liu Bei led the army into Runan, but there was no Yuan army to stop it. All counties are guarding the city, ignoring Liu Bei's remnant army.

As for Ruyin, Liu Bei also received the news from Chang'an, and he was also surprised. However, his situation is not good, where can he care about the Son of Heaven who is thousands of miles away. just led the whole army to worship the west and lament the misfortune of the Han Dynasty.

"Ming Gong! I can't run with you anymore! "Gather cronies to discuss the next move, and before it starts, I saw Tian Yuyu.

Liu Bei immediately frowned, looked at Tian Yu with a serious face, he valued this talent who was subdued in Youzhou very much, and asked, "Where did the country say this?" ”

"There is an old mother in the family who needs to be raised, and she has been away for a long time, and she really can't bear it in her heart!" Tian Yu said in a deep voice.

Liu Bei refused to accept Tian Yu's resignation, and persuaded him several times, but his intention was decided, and in the end he could only sigh "I can't hate to share the great cause with you"!

Liu Bei's army lacked horses, so he found the best one, sent it to Tian Yu, and saw him off in person.

"Lord, Tian Guo let Youcai, he is going, either Yuan Shao, or for Cao Cao's use, just let him go?" Looking at Tian Yu, who was about to ride his horse away, Sun Qian asked in a low voice beside him.

A grim color flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, his expression was a little cold, Tian Yu walked around, staring at his back, Liu Bei clenched his fists.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei next to him raised his bow to string it, pulled it full, and aimed at Tian Yu's vest. Fang wanted to cast it, but Liu Bei pressed it hard, and sighed: "That's it!" What good is it to kill them? ”

On Tian Yu's side, his face was tense all the time, and he kept glancing behind him, but when he saw Zhang Fei's movements, he was nervous. Until he walked away, he didn't see the movement behind him, and he knew that Liu Bei really let himself go. Secretly said to take care, and galloped away north.

Liu Bei was a little melancholy here, and soon before he said that he was surrounded by loyal people, this Tian Yu left himself and returned to his hometown, and his mood couldn't be better.

"My lord! Where should we go next, Runan is collapsing, why don't we occupy this place and use it as a base? Jian Yong asked.

"Runan is Yuan Shu's territory, if we really stay here, Yuan Shu will definitely not rest there!" Liu Bei thought about it and said decisively: "Let's go to Jingzhou and vote for Liu Biao!" ”

decided to go south to Jingzhou, Liu Bei was also decisive, and immediately led the army westward. However, in Runan, there is still a need to search for it. recruited a lot of soldiers, and by the way, he subdued Liu Pigong and other Yellow Turban remnants who had fallen into the grass, and excavated Chen Zhi's talent, and then went to Jingzhou with satisfaction.

Liu Biao's side, the top and bottom were busy talking about Chang'an, and after discussing for a long time, they didn't come up with any results. However, some people proposed to send troops to the west, but they were directly vetoed, and at this time, it was better to see how the other princes reacted.

Perhaps Liu Bei came south too early, unlike another life that made a great name in the north, and the situation in Jingzhou was not the same as in the "previous life", Liu Biao did not show special "attention" to Liu Bei's coming.

But since people take the initiative to vote, they must always show something. Let him be the general, lead his subordinates under the command of Cai Mao, go to Jingnan, and join the army of barbarians.

Liu Bei, since then, has been dormant in Jingzhou.
