The news of Sun Quan's surrender was still on the way to Liu Xie's hands, and outside Guiyang City at this time, Liu Xie was still under Liu Bei's "assistance" to exterminate the young and strong barbarians in Jiaozhou.

As the saying goes, no matter who you are, there are times when you are dizzy and stupid, and there are also times when you regain your calm. At first, the barbarians did dazzle Liu Bei by the large number of yellow and white things he took out, but as time went by, the barbarians who survived by luck finally realized that something was wrong at this time. The real money that Liu Bei took out was no problem, but Liu Bei's motives were questionable.

Every time the war reached a critical moment, the troops were withdrawn, but Liu Bei turned a blind eye to the price paid by his own side, although the pension was very generous, but the person also died. The 100,000 barbarians came from different tribes, and there were occasional fights with each other, but with the increase in casualties, the living barbarians also began to learn to unite, and began to obey Liu Bei's orders, with the main purpose of preserving their own strength.

Although money is good, net worth and life are more important. If you have a life to earn money that you don't have to spend, you don't have to earn it. If it weren't for Liu Bei not giving the barbarians a chance to fall out with him, the barbarians really wanted to leave. But when he thought of going back, he couldn't explain to his own barbarian king, and those barbarians could only continue to stay under Liu Bei's command and wait for the dispatch.

People are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, rabbits are old and eagles are difficult to take. Liu Bei has been a horse for half his life, and he is naturally aware of the changes in the barbarians. Since he met Liu Xie, Liu Bei has already made up his mind to wrap the body in horse leather and bury him with the ambition that he has fought for almost a lifetime.

Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost. Liu Bei didn't look at some of the aspects he had shown in the past, but in fact, his idea was very correct, and he was very accurate, he knew very well that even if he surrendered to Liu Xie, he would not be able to be reused by Liu Xie like Cao Cao, at most, he would be raised as a pig. That kind of life is better than death, Liu Bei doesn't want to live the days of fear, he is almost sixty years old now, and he doesn't have a few days to live, it is better to give it a go, as a military general, he died on the battlefield, and his experience of fighting horses for half his life is not in vain.

Seeing that the barbarians had learned well and were no longer as stupid as before and fought with the Han army for rewards, Liu Bei also understood that it was time for him to fight to the death with the Han army. "Cooperated" with the Han army before, but Liu Bei fulfilled his last responsibility as a Han Chinese, and it was also the last time to "serve" the court. In the past, it was just a rhetoric, but this time at least there is some real action. But Liu Bei did not intend to use this reason to ask Liu Xie for a way out.

Liu Bei personally went into battle!

Riding his Lu horse, which was said to be a hindrance to the lord, and holding the double-strand sword that he had built with Guan Zhang, Liu Bei, who was nearly sixty years old, took the lead and launched an attack on the Han army. Under his leadership, the Han army tasted the bitter fruit of defeat for the first time, if it weren't for Liu Xie's staff officer Sima Yi who found out in time to send troops to stabilize his own position, the Han army's large array almost asked Liu Bei to lead people to break through.

"Is this Liu Bei beaten with chicken blood?" Liu Xie, who didn't expect Liu Bei to suddenly become powerful, was very puzzled. The two sides cooperated well before, he sent barbarians to the battlefield to die, and he sent troops and horses to exterminate them, why did he suddenly change his routine without even saying hello? Could it be that everything he did before Liu Bei was to confuse himself?

"Holy Lord, it must be that Liu Bei thinks there is no way to coax those barbarians anymore, right?" Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said to Liu Xie.

“…… So, the cooperation between the two sides is over? Liu Xie asked when he heard this.

"It's about the same, our army has wiped out nearly a third of the barbarians in these days, and I'd be surprised if the barbarians hadn't noticed anything unusual. Since Liu Bei personally went into battle today, it was almost time for our army to launch. ”

It seems that Liu Bei can't count on it. Anyway, I didn't expect much from him from the beginning. Ordered Wang Ping and Vulture to start acting according to the previously agreed strategy. ”

With Liu Xie's order, the barbarians hired by Liu Bei finally realized the coming of annihilation. Before, they felt a little ashamed of Liu Bei's example today, and felt that they had misunderstood Liu Bei. But by the time they were attacked by the Han army on the second day, they had no time to think about whether their employers were complicit with their opponents, because they needed to focus on how to avoid the Han army.

In the south and in the north, the barbarians mostly lived in the mountains and forests, and they usually did not even ride their horses a few times, and in the face of the charge of the Han cavalry, they did not even know how to resist effectively. Before, Liu Xie only sent the foot soldiers of the Han army to fight with the barbarians, and the barbarians didn't think that the Han army was invincible, but when they faced the group charge of the Han army, the earth also trembled, and the feeling of shaking their legs made the barbarians timid.

After a while, the barbarian army hired by Liu Bei collapsed, and countless timid barbarians turned their heads and ran, not even caring about the rewards they put in the camp, they just wanted to get into the familiar mountains and forests at this time, and the farther away from those Han troops was the better.

Liu Bei's army was defeated on a large scale, but only one group of men and horses was marching in the opposite direction of the crowd, and Liu Bei led his Bai Yu soldiers upstream, like a stubborn stone in the torrent, advancing in the direction of the Han army.

As an important person, Liu Bei's head is an existence that can be encountered but cannot be sought in the eyes of many Han army generals. Ben was also worried that Liu Bei would turn around and run away when he saw that the situation was not good, but he didn't want Liu Bei to be dizzy, so he didn't retreat at this time. The generals of Shuzhong led by Zhang Wei and Ma Zhong led their troops to approach Liu Bei, trying to grab this first credit.

But after Wang Ping and Liu Bei fought one after another, they discovered something that they ignored, Liu Bei's martial arts were not weak at all. Thinking about it, Liu Bei was able to interact with tens of thousands of enemies like Guan Zhang on an equal footing when he was young, and I believe that he was not just relying on the name of a Han clan. I am afraid that the only person who can be friends with the tiger is the same fierce lion, and even if Liu Bei's martial arts are not as good as Guan Zhang, I am afraid that they cannot be easily defeated. Thinking that Liu Bei has been wandering around for half his life, if he didn't have a strong ability as the foundation to save his life, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to live today.

However, the old does not take the muscles and bones as the ability, Liu Bei is old after all, with a moment of blood and courage to kill for a while, he is a little weak, in the face of the strict phalanx laid by the Han army, Liu Bei feels that it is difficult for him to survive. Just when Liu Bei was considering whether he wanted to end his life by committing suicide, a person suddenly walked out of the Han army formation that blocked Liu Bei's advance, and shouted to Liu Bei loudly: "Liu Yuanjun, today, the Holy Lord remembers that you are old, and you are allowed to lay down your weapons and lead the people to surrender." ”

"Hmph, thank you for the good intentions of the saint, it's just that Liu Bei disdains to be a Hanchen anymore." Speaking of this, Liu Bei glanced back at the generals behind him, and said warmly: "If you don't want to die, you can surrender, and I will never stop you." ”

"May I live and die with the lord!" The white soldiers, who numbered no more than three hundred, shouted in unison.

"Okay, okay, then let the world see, my son under Liu Bei is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Liu Bei also felt arrogant for a while, and shouted loudly.

……

There were eight battalions under Liu Xie's command, except for Wang Ping and Wutu Gu who led their troops to stop the barbarians from escaping, the remaining six battalions of men and horses had been rebuilt after the imperial court ended the war in the northern grasslands. Liu Xie, who had long expected that Liu Bei would not surrender, did not take advantage of Liu Bei, and seeing that Liu Bei now only had 300 people in his hands, he ordered the six battalion masters to take 300 elites from their headquarters to take turns to fight with Liu Bei.

Although this is not in line with Liu Xie's usual style of acting, no one thinks that Liu Xie is acting rashly at this time. But anyone with a little brain has already seen that Liu Bei is determined to die today, and he is holding back to die on the battlefield. And for a veteran on the battlefield who doesn't count gains and losses just to prove himself, the necessary respect is still there. The soldiers and horses chasing the barbarians had already left, and those who remained with Liu Xie at this time wanted to send Liu Bei on his last journey.

At the same time that Liu Bei was fighting with the Han army, at the head of Guiyang, Huo Jun, who was tied up by Jian Yong's people, was extremely angry and scolded Jian Yong. Jian Yong, who was scolded, ignored Huo Jun's insults, but just looked at Liu Bei, who was fighting fiercely with the Han army outside the city, and his eyes were in tears.

As Liu Bei's most trusted old acquaintance, Jian Yong is undoubtedly the last person Liu Bei can entrust to big things. Long before Jian Yong was ordered to return to the city, Liu Bei had a long conversation with Jian Yong, although Jian Yong strongly opposed Liu Bei doing this, how could Liu Bei have made up his mind, even if Jian Yong was clever and clever, it was difficult for Liu Bei to change his mind.

"Zhong Miao, don't scold, this is the lord's decision." Fu Tong, who captured Huo Jun with his own hands, persuaded Huo Jun softly.

"Nonsense! I don't believe it! Huo Jun shouted without hesitation.

"Mr. Xianhe is only acting on orders, and I am also sent into the city to assist Mr. Xianhe because the lord is worried that you will not obey the order. If it weren't for the lord's insistence on this, with Mr. Xianhe's friendship with the lord, do you think Mr. Xianhe would do such a thing that betrays the lord to seek glory? ”

"......" Huo Jun is not an unreasonable person, he was just carried away by anger, and at this time, he was reminded by Fu Tong that Huo Jun had already believed seven or eight points. Jian Yong's qualifications can be regarded as the person who has followed Liu Bei the longest, and generally people like this usually do not look for another master. And Liu Bei has always been not thin on Jian Yong, and Jian Yong is not the kind of villain character who is towards Qin and Twilight. At this time, he suddenly turned his face, and nine times out of ten he was entrusted by Liu Bei.

"Why?" Huo Jun asked in a muffled voice.

Fu Tong knew what Huo Jun meant, and said softly: "Zhong Miao, you are not a stupid person, and today, I am afraid that you yourself have already thought that the great cause of the lord is difficult to achieve, and in the face of the pressure of the imperial army, you and I are just doing our best and obeying the destiny of heaven." As for why the lord is bent on death, I am afraid it is also for the sake of the young lord's future. ”

Liu Bei has only one son under his knees, surnamed Liu Mingchan and nicknamed Adou. Before Liu Chan, Liu Bei also had children, but because Liu Bei would wander around, those children were also lost because of the war. Liu Bei attaches great importance to Liu Chan, the ancients were very concerned about the inheritance of incense, and it is normal to retreat to keep a little incense under the premise of knowing that it is difficult for him to realize his ambitions.

Liu Bei didn't want to live in captivity, and he didn't want to be unlucky because of himself. So Liu Bei chose to die in battle, wanting to end his life in the most desired way as a general, and at the same time use his death to make the last contribution to the stability of his children in the future.

Huo Jun and Fu Tong are both military generals with good abilities, Liu Bei intends to let these two surrender to the imperial court, believing that with the ability of these two people, they can occupy a place even in the strong Han army, and at that time, the two can take care of their child Liu Chan a little.

Regarding his own plans, Liu Bei did not hide Fu Tong, since he wanted the family to take care of his heirs, it was best to make his words clear directly, so as not to give people a reason to stand by. And Huo Jun was speechless for a long time after listening to Fu Tong's explanation, until Fu Tong couldn't help but want to ask, Huo Jun said, "Loosen the tie for me." ”

"Zhong Miao, ...... you" Fu Tong looked at Huo Jun worriedly, but Jian Yong on the side opened his mouth and ordered: "General Fu, loosen the tie for Zhong Miao." ”

With Jian Yong's instructions, Fu Tong personally stepped forward to untie the rope for Huo Jun, and Huo Jun, who had regained his freedom, walked to the city wall while moving his wrist, and looked in the direction of the Han army camp outside the city, but before he could find Liu Bei's location, he heard a burst of cheers suddenly erupt in the Han army, and Huo Jun understood in his heart that his lord was killed.

"Zhong Miao, prepare to open the city and surrender, the rest ......" Before Jian Yong finished speaking, Huo Jun had already dragged Jian Yong back from the city, and scolded while dragging: "Want to follow the lord?" There are no doors either! Mr. Xianhe, I have understood what the lord means, and I have to entrust you with the heavy responsibility of taking care of the young master. ”

Jian Yong is not a few years younger than Liu Bei, and he is still a literati, Huo Jun, a person who was born as a military general, can take him as easily as catching chickens. Jian Yong did have the idea of following Liu Bei, but when he heard Huo Jun mention Liu Chan, his desire to die was immediately reduced by half. Huo Jun and Fu Tong want to work hard in the army for Liu Chan's future, and the task of taking care of Liu Chan's adulthood can only fall on his own head, and Jian Yong is not at ease when he entrusts it to others.

"Zhong Miao, thank you for the reminder, let go." Jian Yong thanked Huo Jun in a deep voice.

Huo Jun let go of Jian Yong when he heard this, and then hugged his fist and said to Jian Yong: "Mr. Xianhe, now that the lord is no longer here, your status is the highest in our army, and I also ask you to temporarily take charge of the matter and give orders." ”

“…… Well, I'll do that. Huo Jun and Fu Tong obeyed the order. ”

"The end will be." Huo Jun and Fu Tong replied in unison.

"Order the two of you to restrain your subordinates, and wait for a certain person to go to the Han camp in person."

"Mr. Kenhe is going to go in person?"

"Well, if I don't make this trip, I won't get a personal promise from the saint today, and this heart will always be uneasy."

"If the Holy Lord orders someone to detain Mr., what shall we do?" Huo Jun asked out loud.

"If I don't return it for a long time, it's up to you to decide whether to surrender or fight." Jian Yong thought for a while and said to Huo Jun.
