Chapter 565: You Go First

Things were as Liao Li expected, Zhuge Liang sent people to intercept along the way, and adopted a strategy of combining siege and attack, and when he came to Yongchang County, the soldiers under Guan Yu were less than 10,000, and when he came to Jiaozhi, it was sharply reduced to more than 5,000 people, and the morale was extremely low, and someone would flee at any time.

At this time, almost all the local officials in Shu received an order from Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, to be precise, it should be Zhuge Liang's order, to chase and intercept Guan Yu's army, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't do anything to these ordinary soldiers, after all, they were also loyal to their duties and had no fault, they could have killed them with a knife, but who would guard the place? Who will rule the people? There is already a shortage of talents in Shu, and if you kill them, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to support. Therefore, even if he defected, he could only blindly flee, but could not kill them.

Originally, those magistrates were afraid of Guan Yu Zhang Fei's bravery, and they still had some scruples, but now seeing that they just blindly fled and did not resist, they gradually became emboldened and led the army to encircle them many times.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the crowd through a difficult breakthrough, and finally came to Wuling County, as long as they crossed Wuling and came to the riverside, they could cross the Yangtze River and go to Jingzhou, but they didn't expect that at this last moment, Guan Yu was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, and at this time there were only five hundred personal soldiers left around him.

Guan Yu didn't want to fight in the first place, and there was a huge disparity in strength now, and even he felt deep helplessness this time.

"Now that things have developed to this point, we might as well give up, anyway, even if we get to Chang'an, I don't know what to do? Will you unite with strangers to attack my land? If I do, how can I deal with my big brother? But if this is not the case, Zhuge Liang will definitely be in charge of the Shu Kingdom, and Chan'er will become a puppet like today's son. ”

Guan Yu sighed and smiled bitterly.

At this time, he saw Liao Li say loudly: "At this time, how can the general give up easily?" Although the lord is a puppet, after all, Zhuge Liang is afraid of the general outside, and he doesn't dare to go too far with the Son of Heaven, if the general gives up, even if Zhuge Liang replaces him, who can restrain him? Isn't this the same relationship with the King of Qin and the current son? What's more, as I said before, if the general is captured, not only you and me, but even our family members will be difficult to keep, and in addition, those soldiers who are forced to surrender will probably be purged, in this case, how much fighting power is left in our country? At that time, even if the King of Qin does not send troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Shu to last! ”

At this time, Zhang Fei also opened his mouth and said: "Second brother, Liao Li, no, Mr. Liao is right, we can't let Zhuge Village's treacherous plan succeed, and we can't let the foundation that the eldest brother worked so hard to create be handed over to others, not to mention that at that time, not only is the eldest brother's foundation gone, I'm afraid that even Chan'er's life can't be saved, we can not keep the eldest brother's foundation, brother, I'll tell you the truth, anyway, the Duke of Qin is strong, and the destruction of Shu is a matter of time, but if something happens to Chan'er, the eldest brother can't even keep a bloodline, In the future, when we go to Jiuquan, what face do we have to meet the eldest brother? ”

"But it's really difficult for us to escape now, now that the enemy army is heavily surrounded, the number is twenty times that of our army, except for the two of us and Huo Jun, which one can escape? These are all brothers who were born and died with us, so should we just give them up? Guan Yu pointed to Liao Li and the surrounding soldiers, and said with a long sigh.

But I heard Liao Li say loudly: "I have already said before, once there is a critical situation, the generals don't have to care about us as a burden, you can break through, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as the general you can break through, Zhuge Liang will be jealous, and our family will not be in danger of life, in this way, even if we die, it will be worth it, and if the general blindly seeks death, we will really die!" ”

"Mr. Liao is right!" At this time, I saw Guan Yu's personal soldier captain Zhang Heng said: "General, you can still remember our lives at this time, which shows kindness, but we can't drag you down, just like Mr. Liao said, as long as you can escape, even if we die, it's worth it, at least our family still has hope of survival, and if you can't escape, general, even if we can survive, we can only live in guilt in the future, this life will no longer have any meaning, it can only be the walking dead." ”

"In this case, then blame Yu can't live with you, Mr. Liao, the most sorry thing for me Guan is actually you, alas, I obviously said that I wanted to live and die with you, but now I can only leave you, please rest assured, if I return to Shu in the future, I will definitely treat your family well! I will treat your son as if he were my own. ”

Guan Yu arched his hand at Liao Li, and said with a heavy face.

It turned out that after Liao Li "defected" to Liu Bei, in order not to arouse the suspicion of Shu, he also married a wife and had children in Shu, and now his son is eight years old, and he clearly knows that he is about to leave Shu, but in order to be able to realize his father-in-law's plan, so as not to arouse suspicion, but he also hardened his heart to leave his wife and son in Chengdu.

And this is also the most reassuring place for him this time.

However, at this time, Liao Li couldn't care about the safety of his wife and children, he knew that Zhuge Liang would never do anything to his family in order to attract people's hearts now, so he said to Guan Yu: "It's enough to have a general." Hehe, maybe this time the lower official can get away with it, and you shouldn't be so pessimistic, general. ”

Guan Yu only thought that Liao Li was comforting him, smiled bitterly and hugged his fists, and then directly got on the horse and led Zhang Fei, Guan Ping, Huo Jun and others to kill together, but left hundreds of personal soldiers and those civil officials represented by Liao Li.

"Soldiers, in order to ensure that General Guan and them break through, let's not be idle like this, fight our lives to buy time for them, kill!"

At this time, Zhang Heng, the captain of the pro-soldiers, no longer cared about anything else, and directly led the five hundred pro-soldiers to kill the 10,000 troops who surrounded them, while Liao Li smiled faintly, exerted his escape skills, and left calmly, although he knew that this was a bit unrighteous for the five hundred pro-soldiers, but at this time, even if he died with them, it would be a vain death, it was better to escape by himself, and it would be more useful to keep a promising body.
