Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart when he heard this, he actually didn't blame Liu Bei, seeing that victory was in sight, but he was suddenly slapped in the face, such a feeling would go crazy to anyone, he just blamed himself deeply, he still underestimated Liu He.

"Originally, I thought I was careful enough, but I didn't expect to underestimate this Liu He, he is really a terrible opponent." Zhuge Liang thought silently, and then said to Liu Bei: "All this is Liang's miscalculation, this battle, Liang is fully responsible, he wants to fight and kill, and let the lord deal with it!" ”

Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang like this, but he was embarrassed to say anything more, he helped Zhuge Liang up, and said gently: "You can't be blamed for this matter, it's all because I am anxious for quick success and quick profit, and I have transferred all the troops to Dingjun Mountain, and neglected the defense of Liu He." That's it, since Hanzhong City does not belong to me, I don't have to force it, pass the order to go down and retreat, alas, since Dingjun Mountain has been conquered, presumably the chance of Huang Hansheng being able to escape is not great, we can't just give up like this talent, before retreating, let's go and save him. ”

Zhuge Liang also knows that now is not a matter of whether to be punished, but should look at the overall situation, strive for the greatest interests for his lord, or do everything in his power to reduce losses.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Lord, I'm afraid it's too late now, since Dingjun Mountain has been occupied by the enemy, this proves that Huang Hansheng has been captured or righteous, even if Huang Hansheng is captured, it is very difficult for us to rescue, at this time Liu He will inevitably wait for us at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, they are waiting for work, occupying the right time, place and people, we will inevitably face defeat again, if so, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to return to Chengdu." ”

"But after all, Huang Hansheng is one of the few brave generals under my command, and he is so loyal to me on weekdays, if he just watches him being captured and not rescued, how should I face the people of the world?"

Liu Bei Oh shook his head and sighed softly.

However, Zhuge Liang persuaded: "Even so, the lord can't ignore the expectations of the people of the world, and the people of all the people are still looking forward to the lord being able to lead the loyal and brave people of the world to revive the Han Dynasty. At that time, even if he dies 10,000 times, it will not be enough to atone for his sins, and besides, the gentleman is not under the wall, the son of a daughter, and he does not sit in the hall, and the lord is a nobleman of the Han family, how can he easily get into danger? I hope the lord will think twice. ”

At this time, Xue Zong, the strategist beside Liu Bei, was also persuading, hoping that Liu He would not take risks, "and leave a useful body for the future." ”

After Liu Bei listened, he sighed deeply and said with tears: "I have been fighting the world for so many years, and the reason why I have gathered so many talents under my command is mainly to be able to stay with them, life and death, and now Huang Hansheng is trapped in Dingjun Mountain, but I can't save him, I am really ashamed of him, and I am indebted to my persistence for so many years, and when we go back, we must do our best to find out the news of Huang Hansheng's survival, if he has died, I will return his body, bury it, and let him enjoy the glory after death, if he is still alive, I will definitely do my best to try to rescue them. ”

Liu Bei sighed again, then waved his hand, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, no longer care about the soldiers on Dingjun Mountain, and return directly to Baishui Pass, and then return to Chengdu through Baishui Pass.

Soon after the collection of troops, Liu Bei heard the news that Liu He led the army to arrive, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he led the army to retreat in time, otherwise once he met Liu He's main force, he would inevitably suffer another defeat.

Because of this, Liu Bei's attitude towards Zhuge Liang also changed again, and he apologized to Zhuge Liang for his original behavior.

However, Zhuge Liang deeply reviewed his mistakes, and insisted that Liu Bei demote himself to three levels, but Liu Bei couldn't resist Zhuge Liang, so he could only reluctantly agree.

"Alas, this time the battle for Hanzhong failed, so that my plan to clamp down on the Central Plains in two ways has come to naught, and then I can only go all out to attack Jingzhou, this time I have to learn the lesson of fighting for Hanzhong, and I must not do it easily until the last moment, well, when the time comes, I can unite Cao Cao, or use Cao Cao, take advantage of the time when he is in a full-scale war with Liu He, lead the army to attack Jingzhou from behind, and if necessary, I will also unite Sun Quan in Jiangdong, I don't believe that I have united the princes of the world, and I can't deal with a Liu He?"

Liu Bei's thoughts were continuous, his eyes flashed, imagining that one day in the future, he would defeat Liu He, occupy Chang'an, and look down on the world, and his heart was also full of pride.

However, as soon as Liu Bei came to Baishui Pass, he saw the guard Huo Jun walking anxiously above the Guancheng, and when he saw Liu Bei, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and got off the Guancheng in a hurry, ordered someone to open the city gate, came to Liu Bei, and whispered breathlessly: "Lord, no, it's not good, according to Huang Quan's report, Zhou Yu led the army to attack our Changsha, and General Guan led the army to retreat, but fortunately, Chen Yuanlong led the army to respond, so he saved his life, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save his life......"

This is still Huo Jun is smarter and did not shout loudly, otherwise it will definitely cause a change in the morale of the army again.

"What? Changsha is also lost? This, how is this possible? As soon as Liu Bei heard the news, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't even speak.

However, Liu Bei opened the urgent report in the army handed by Huo Jun, and after opening it, as expected, Guan Yu led the army to attack Liu Biao's Jiangling without Liu Bei's order, and not only did Jiangling not take down, but even Changsha was successfully attacked by Zhou Yu's army, Zhou Yu sneaked into Changsha City, used his own skills, launched a fire attack, and in an instant, he saw that the grain and grass were burned to the ground, and the soldiers defending the city were chaotic, and Tai Shici, who was responsible for receiving the response outside the city, led the army to kill and seize the city.

Zhuge Liang's face was also a little pale, and then he stomped his feet and said: "It must be that General Guan is too careless, underestimated Zhou Yu, and then lost Changsha, among the four counties, Changsha's position is the most critical, and now it is occupied by Sun Quan, and even Jiaozhou has been threatened, my lord, now that our army is newly defeated in Hanzhong, it is really not appropriate to have another dispute, fortunately, General Guan is unharmed, and the grudge between us is not deep, so it is better for us to turn the war into a jade silk, and give Changsha to Sun Poyu, and then unite Jiangdong to fight against Liu He, In this way, we can still seize the counties of Jingbei, and as long as we capture Jingbei, we can march into Chang'an through Wuguan, as long as we win Chang'an, Hanzhong and Yongliang will naturally be broken without attacking, and at that time, the lord is expected to revive the Han family. ”

Liu Bei is not an impulsive person, and now when he heard this, he immediately knew that it was the best countermeasure, but he said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid that Sun Quan will be too greedy and won't let go, and take the opportunity to attack our prefectures and counties." ”

"Liang is willing to go to Changsha in person and persuade Zhou Yu to agree to the alliance." Zhuge Liang looked resolute and solemnly asked.
