Chapter 103: Liu Bei's defeat, brotherhood
The world is out of my generation, and the years of entering the rivers and lakes are urging. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Huangtu hegemony talks and laughs, and it is better than a drunk in life.
The battle outside was in full swing, and Liu Bei was drinking alone. I inadvertently thought that back then, Taoyuan was three righteous and energetic, young and frivolous. The horse holds the knife, and the righteousness is unparalleled. But now, the second brother has passed away, and the third brother is uncertain, and his eyes are full of tears. I couldn't let go for a long time, and in the blink of an eye it was a sleepless night, and people were melancholy in middle age, calling friends and companions. Raise a glass without admiration, the world is alone, and then look back at everything unbearable!
And Cui Zhouping, who was outside the tent, stood silently at the door. Looking at Liu Bei, the lord who borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, he sighed a little. originally thought that with Liu Qi's reinforcements, how could he barely protect himself. It's a pity that the sky is not as good as the people, and Lu Xun'er repeatedly resorted to desperate tactics, which made Liu Qi's reinforcements lose more than half, and he had to retreat to avoid the edge for a while. In the end, it was Pang Tong who made a move, and this improved, but unfortunately the general trend has gone, Liu Qi only lost some soldiers and horses, and he has not broken his muscles and bones. But Liu Bei, the head of his family, can be regarded as a loss of capital. The territory is lost, the soldiers are gone, and more importantly, the hearts of the people are scattered.
In the past few days, the number of deserters in Liu Bei's army has exceeded the number of dead in battle. I had no choice but to mortgage the land to Liu Qi in exchange for a trace of respite. When it dawns tomorrow, I will go north and fight Zhang Fei. When the time comes, it's the end of the world. Or go to one side of the hero, and then make plans.
At this time, Cui Zhouping had the heart to retreat, he was originally an outsider, if it weren't for his friends begging hard, it is estimated that he would not be ready to go out of the mountain. Cui Zhouping's talent lies in politics, if he is peaceful in the world, he is definitely a prime minister who governs the country. But now is a troubled time, leading troops to fight, to put it bluntly, Cui Zhouping is just a layman. Although under Cui Zhouping's strategy, Liu Bei's armament and everything have been improved, but in terms of leading troops to fight in the actual world, Cui Zhouping does not have any particularly useful suggestions. In the final analysis, Cui Zhouping has used the materials of a top civil official to assist Liu Bei so far, and he can be regarded as having both talents.
On the Cao army's side, he was a little caught off guard because of the surprise attack of Liu Xuewu's army. Cao Pi hurriedly recalled Sima and his son, and ordered him to lead an army to resist Liu Xuewu. And Cao Shuang's army is also encroaching on Liu Bei's remaining territory step by step, and Zhang Fei is facing Cao Shuang's pressure step by step, and his soldiers and horses are getting fewer and fewer.
Just when Liu Bei successfully fought Zhang Fei, they also fell into an ambush carefully prepared by Cao Shuang. Surrounded on all sides, surrounded by 30,000 troops, only Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, who were less than 2,000 men remained. In the battle, Cui Zhouping used a life-saving technique, and the golden cicada came out of its shell. disguised as the illusion of dying in battle in the chaotic army, deceived Liu Bei, and left in disguise. However, their ally Liu Qi took this opportunity to take over the territory abandoned by Liu Bei with the assistance of Pang Tong, but he resisted Sun Quan's attack and stabilized the situation. It was only at this time that Liu Bei woke up and was calculated by Liu Qi and Pang Tong. What resisted Sun Quan's attack, it was just that Huang Shan was ordered to attack Changsha and forced Sun Quan to be in a hurry, so he was transferred back to Lu Xun and Lu Su! Poor Liu Bei I Xiaoxiong is making wedding dresses for others, and now Guan Yu is killed in battle, Zhang Fei is seriously injured, and the remnants of the army will be surrounded by Cao Shuang, almost on a desperate road. However, when it came to the dead end, Liu Bei suddenly remembered a trick that Cui Zhouping had given him before, saying that if he had any accidents, this was the last way to retreat, and it was also a way to survive.
For this reason, Liu Bei hid this bag close to his body, and now it is Liu Bei's life-saving straw. I saw a strip of white cloth in the bag, with the book "Yizhou." ”
Liu Bei suddenly realized, that's right, when there is still a person who thinks of the bloodline of the Han family, it is only Liu Yan of Yizhou. Moreover, Liu Yan is in a high position and has been in Yizhou, Shuzhong and Hanzhong for decades. Under his rule, no one interfered with his beard. He has four sons, and he is even more talented. If Liu Bei is cheeky enough to take refuge, the other party will definitely look at the same Han clan relatives and give him a place to stay. As early as before Liu Bei defeated Xuzhou and defected to Liu Biao, he had considered this person. It's a pity that this person is a descendant of the royal family, and his identity is completely different from Liu Bei's random recognition. Moreover, they have millions of male soldiers, and their descendants are famous, if they defect to him, presumably he Liu Bei will not be able to do anything.
As a hero, Liu Bei wants to live under others forever, so when there are other options, Liu Bei just gives up. Looking back now, if he Liu Bei had chosen Liu Yan in Yizhou, his second brother would not have died on the battlefield. Compared with others, Liu Bei's brotherly love for decades is deep-rooted.
But in the current crisis, Liu Bei can only save his life. Fortunately, after Liu Qi occupied Yangzhou, he did not abandon Liu Bei. Knowing that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were trapped in Cao's army, they also sent an army to relieve the siege. Taking this opportunity, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and fled in the direction of Yizhou without looking back.
"Shi Yuan, you see I'm still too merciful, I shouldn't have saved Liu Bei, but now it's okay, people have run away, not only have I lost thousands of soldiers, but also disrupted our overall chance." Liu Qi panted and said to Pang Tong.
"Don't worry, my lord, although the wood is already in the boat, it is useless to say more. I heard the report of the spies, Liu Bei went all the way west, and nine times out of ten he went to Yizhou. But it's okay that a few thousand soldiers have also regained the reputation of the lord's benevolence and righteousness, and with this fame, we can seek great things again. Pang Tong said confidently.
"But without the entanglement of Liu Bei and Cao Shuang, it will be disadvantageous for you and me to face Sun Quan and Cao Shuang in the face of a war on both sides." Liu Qi said with some concern.
"Haha, the lord must not know, I expect him Cao Shuang to retire within three days?" Pang said in a uniform outfit of thirteen.
"Well, there's a war in the north." Liu Qi suddenly thought of something and said.
"That's right, Liu Xuewu, the king of the clouds, sent 200,000 troops to attack Xuzhou, presumably Cao Pi Xiao'er will definitely let Cao Shuang return to defense." Pang Tong shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile.
"It seems that my brother Yi wants to help me this time, and the military advisor is far-sighted, and I don't know how to move this chess next." When Liu Qi heard Liu Xuewu send troops, he couldn't help but ask with some excitement.
"Don't worry, with the friendship between the lord and the king of the clouds, you can protect the northwest without worry, and now the plan is to quickly stabilize Yangzhou, and then send an elite team of men and horses to assist Jingzhou to contain Sun Quan. Pang has a bad sentence, but he still has to say it. The lord and Jingzhou are both brothers, the so-called father-son soldiers who go into battle, and brothers who fight tigers. Sun Quan and Sun Ce are nothing more than the lord and Jingzhou, this time they must not be rash, and the overall situation is important. Pang Tong was afraid that Liu Qi would not save him when he saw death regardless of his brotherly feelings, so he said the truth that his lips were cold and his teeth died.
Liu Qi is also a smart person, and he also knows the current situation. But after hearing this sentence at the moment, he couldn't help but cry and laugh. Brotherly love, is there anyone in this world who misses brotherly love more than him Liu Qi? A good family business, a good Jingzhou was within reach, but he chose to give up for his younger brother. He led people to fight the world and grab territory, he was easy for me. However, Liu Qi still couldn't help but not get mad, looked at Pang Tong's eyes strangely, and muttered to himself: "Okay, I have my own measure." ”
