Liu Bei roughly explained Ge Liang's original plan to Xu Shu, but it was Cao Cao's five thousand tigers and leopards who chased after him, and he also began to worry: "The combat power of this tiger and leopard cavalry is extraordinary, although the military advisor has come up with an effective way to hinder the enemy's army, but if you really want to eliminate them, it seems to be more difficult to rely on that bit of infantry." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Xu Shu reminded: "In case the two armies are in a state of stalemate, and they are bitten by the enemy and can't get out, how can we occupy Jiangling City?" ”

Liu Bei was anxious: "But, but we can't send troops now, we were careless at the beginning, I didn't expect to be caught up by the Cao army, so I only brought less than 5,000 troops, and now 3,000 have gone with the army division, and the remaining more than 1,000 are not enough to organize the people to retreat, or, quickly send someone to Hanjin to contact Guan Yu and ask him to draw troops to help the war?" ”

Xu Shu looked at the dense crowd of people on the road, and thought to himself how good it would be if this was 100,000 armor soldiers, so what kind of tiger and leopard riders would not dare to lean over! But now these 100,000 are all people who need to be protected, not the available military strength but the drag of the army! In desperation, I looked up and saw the sunset hanging on the distant mountains, and it was almost dark on this day.

It's getting dark, and the team of refugees will soon be moving forward with torches, and in the dark night, these tens of thousands of torches are only spectacular, right? Xu Shu had an idea and proposed to Liu Bei: "Lord, you see that in this dark night, we only recognize torches and not people, can we organize some people to use torches to support Zhuge and scare the enemy away?" ”

Liu Bei thinks this idea is feasible, but here they are all helping the old and the young, will they agree to take the young and middle-aged away? Do they reassure their families?

Huang Yue's carriage has been following closely behind Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's family, she heard the conversation between the two outside, and was worried about Ge Liang and them, Xu Shu's suggestion reminded her, so she lifted the curtain and stood up: "I'm willing to go!" ”

"You—?" Liu Bei and Xu Shu were stunned, and they couldn't believe their ears for a long time.

Huang Yue nodded firmly: "Yes, me!" ”

Although he admired Huang Yue's courage, Liu Bei still didn't dare to imagine: "You are a weak woman, isn't it when you go to the battlefield?" He felt that it was better not to say the word "death".

Huang Yue has long been unhappy with the inferiority of men and women in this era, and it doesn't matter if it is rude or not, he didn't answer Liu Bei's question, but went directly to the people who fled, raised his arms and shouted: "Folks, let me ask you a word!" Why did you abandon your family and business, drag your family and follow General Liu Zuo of Liu Yuzhou for refuge, and why were you unwilling to stay at home and accept Cao Cao's rule? Is it because our lord is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, is it because Cao Cao is cruel and harsh, and his life under his rule is hanging by a thread and the day is precarious? ”

The people replied in unison, "Yes!" "Of course, they ran out because they were afraid that Cao Cao wanted to play the slaughter of the city again, but they didn't run out to play.

Zhuge Jun hurriedly followed his sister-in-law, and Jingjing pulled Xiaobao to follow, but was stopped by him.

"Yes, our lord General Liu Zuo is indeed the lord of benevolence and righteousness, these days, in order to take care of everyone, he has always been with everyone, never abandoned, this is what everyone has seen and experienced! But you know what? Just to take care of everyone, our southbound speed is getting slower and slower, and we can only walk ten miles a day! This is dangerous, Cao Cao has already sent his cavalry to catch up from behind! The more Huang Yue spoke, the more excited he became.

"Huh?" When the people heard the news, they couldn't help but exclaim, and everyone immediately argued with each other, "What can I do about this?" ”

Huang Yue waved his hand desperately: "Everyone be quiet!" Everyone, be quiet! Don't be afraid! Our generals Zhang and Zhao, and mine, my husband, Zhuge Liang, have already led their troops to stop them twenty miles away, and they will not be able to pass! ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the argument gradually became quieter.

Huang Yue continued to mobilize: "Yes, our lord has tied his fate tightly to everyone!" We will live and die with the people! But we are now in trouble, the enemy has 5,000 cavalry, and we have only 4,000 infantry, although we have stopped them for the time being, but we cannot drive the enemy away! Therefore, we need all of us to work together and ask our young men to stand up and support them with us! We need to be in this togetherness now, and if our army is defeated, we will also be caught up by Cao's army and slaughtered by them! If we work together to drive the enemy away, we can reach Gangneung safely together! ”

Xu Shu followed behind and hurriedly added: "Don't worry, we don't need everyone to work hard!" It's night, we just need to light more torches, make more noise, plus our generals Zhang and Zhao lead the army to attack, we can definitely scare Cao's army back, and everyone can safely withdraw to Jiangling! Cao's army doesn't have many chasing soldiers, it's these 5,000 cavalry, and their army can't catch up with us! Turning his head and stretching out his thumb to Huang Yue—why didn't this woman see it for so many years before?

The people were talking, and after a while, someone stood up and responded: "I'm willing to go!" "I'm willing to go!"

Liu Bei was already so excited that his eyes were full of tears, and he stood up and spoke to everyone at this time: "Folks, it's me Liu Bei who is incompetent, and I have too few troops, which has affected everyone!" If everyone suffers a great calamity, I Liu Bei will have no shame to see the ancestors and ancestors. After speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone.

"Defeat Cao Jun and defend your family!" Huang Yue immediately shouted the slogan, in the end, he was a cadre on duty.

The people had long been instigated, and immediately responded to the slogan: "Defeat Cao's army, defend your family!" ”

"The army and the people are united to protect my Jingzhou!" Huang Yue continued to raise his arms and shout, in the end, it was the battalion commander's daughter, and she had the momentum of a soldier.

The people responded: "The army and the people are united to protect my Jingzhou!" ”

"Swear to live and die with General Liu, advance and retreat together!" Huang Yue looked back, eager to find a carriage stop to go to the roof of the car. Alas, if it weren't for the crossing, she would be a good material for being a political commissar.

"Swear to live and die with General Liu, advance and retreat together!" The people's cries rose higher and higher.

Liu Bei kept bowing to everyone there: "Thank you for your trust in me Liu Bei!" I, Liu Bei, also swear to live and die with everyone, advance and retreat together! Live and die together, advance and retreat together! ”

After some selection and arrangement, a total of nearly 20,000 old and young men were organized, and many women were unwilling and wanted to go with their men: "Why can Mrs. Zhuge go just now, but we can't go?" ”

The 20,000 people's army led by Xu Shu, Mi Fang and Huo Jun was about to set off, and Chen Zhi was responsible for protecting Liu Bei and Madame Gan and holding Adou to appease the remaining people.

Huang Yue insisted on going to the front line, and Liu Bei gave her his horse: "Madame is really a rare strange woman in the world, I Liu Bei can get the help of your couple, I am really fortunate to have three lives." ”

Huang Yue stepped on the horse and climbed a few times without going up, and suddenly his face turned red: "I, I haven't ridden a horse yet." ”
