The mighty team began to evacuate Fancheng, and Ge Rang asked people to shout to everyone at the city gate: "Folks, everyone remember to bring firewood knives and hoes, and we will have to chop firewood and farm to live at that time." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After crossing the Han River, Liu Bei said goodbye to Guan Yu: "Second brother, remember to keep in touch from time to time all the way, and strive for everyone to arrive in Jiangling at the same time." "He wasn't sure in his heart that the guards of Gangneung City would open the gates of the city and let him enter smoothly.

Under the city of Xiangyang, Liu Bei shouted to the defenders on the city tower: "Liu Bei has asked the new Jingzhou pastor of the virtuous nephew to come out and answer." "He is still angry in his heart, he used to guard against Lao Tzu tightly, and as soon as Cao Cao came, you gave Jingzhou to others, and you hid it from me! Are you surnamed Cao or Liu?

Liu Cong had no face to see anyone, and he hid at home and drank water to suppress the shock, for fear that Liu Bei would bring troops in to settle accounts with him. Cai Mao and others guarded the city gate to prevent Liu Bei from causing trouble, but the city gate could not be guarded, and some officials and generals in the city, such as Yi Yuan, Huo Jun and others, were not willing to surrender, and rushed open the city gate from the inside to defect to Liu Bei.

Many people in the city have also been prepared for a long time, and they are just keeping up at this time, I heard that Cao Cao used to kill people in Xuzhou but the chickens and dogs were not left, and now that guy has come here again, it is better to flee quickly.

Ge Liang watched quietly from the side, thinking to himself that I would never persuade Liu Bei to attack Xiangyang City as recorded in the history books, the people in this city are all big clans who hold the real power in Jingzhou, not to mention whether they can fight or not, even if they are defeated, they will not be able to kill all those surrendering factions when the time comes, thus causing panic, and keeping them must always be on guard against them taking the opportunity to make trouble, I am afraid that they will not be able to prevent it. Since they could all persuade Liu Cong to surrender, they must not underestimate their influence in this city.

Liu Bei didn't plan to make trouble in Xiangyang, and continued to go south with everyone as planned, but the people along the way continued to join, and Xiang Lang also led the army and civilians to defect, which made the team quickly increase to nearly 100,000 people, and all kinds of vehicles, cattle and horses filled the road, and the forward speed dropped from the initial 30 miles a day to almost 10 miles.

Ge Liang finally reminded Liu Bei: "Lord, if you want to guard against Cao's army chasing after you, let's leave the people behind and rush to Jiangling first." ”

Of course, Liu Bei was reluctant to do this: "So many people have abandoned their families and lives to follow me, how can I leave them alone?" Look at these old and young people, I have to ask the sergeants to help them. ”

Ge Liang said: "It's because the sergeants and the people are mixed together, in case the Cao army suddenly catches up, it will not be able to quickly organize a defense." ”

Liu Bei touched the sparse mustache on his chin, thought for a while and said: "I calculated, when we set off, Cao Cao should be almost four hundred miles away from us, according to the normal marching speed of the army thirty miles a day, although we are walking slowly, but after all, we have already walked so far, it will take more than ten days for him to catch up with us, and we should have arrived in Jiangling City by then." ”

I know you think so! Ge Liang pretended to have a suddenly awakened expression: "Lord, but we can't forget that Cao Cao has a lot of cavalry, if he ignores the army and sends a cavalry of 10,000 to chase us first, can we outrun them?" ”

Liu Bei was suddenly struck by lightning, slapped his head, and understood that he was stupid again, he had already suffered the loss of Cao Cao's overnight attack before, and was caught off guard by others in Xuzhou, so that his wife, daughter and brothers were all scattered, if he did it again, he would really die unjustly, it was purely stupid!

"Strategist, it's true that I was negligent, what should I do now?" Liu Bei was a little panicked, and the Wenwu who followed him was also stunned.

"Don't panic, let's all think about it, there must be a way to avoid it." Ge Liang closed his eyes and made a meditative look, he knew that there was not much outstanding place in front of Liu Bei in the past half a year, so let him be anxious at this time, so that he could agree to give him carte blanche to command.

"Don't think about it, let's hurry up and go to Gangneung to occupy the city first." "Let's go first, if we are really caught up, as long as we are not there, the people may be able to be killed less." Everyone talked about it, and they all thought that the first run was the best.

"There it is!" Ge Liang suddenly opened his eyes and said to Liu Bei, "My lord, since we have guessed that Cao Cao might send cavalry to chase us, as long as we prepare first, we can still repel them, I think we can ...... like this."

After listening to Ge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei suddenly calmed down, hugged his fists at him and said: "The military advisor is very intelligent, and I have thought of a countermeasure so quickly, and I, Liu Bei, can get the help of the military advisor, and I will definitely be able to achieve a great cause." ”

Ge Liang took the opportunity to say: "My lord, it's just that the Cao army has a lot of chasing soldiers, and most of the generals and sergeants need to be called, and the lord needs to decide." ”

Liu Bei was very arrogant: "You say, which generals need to be used, just ask." ”

"I need the support of General Zhao Zilong." Since Zhao Yun made a great contribution to saving the lives of Ganfu and Adou in the chaos of Nagasaka, Ge Liang could not bury him.

Liu Bei looked at his side, Zhao Yun and Chen Dao are gone, and besides, I, Liu Bei, am not vegetarians! Nodding in agreement: "Yes, Zilong obeys the orders of the military advisor!" ”

Zhao Yun stepped forward: "Obey!" ”

Speaking of the second person, Ge Liang paused for a moment before speaking, and said slowly: "I need the three generals to lead the troops to respond." ”

Zhang Fei had been letting his wife and the child's carriage follow him, and when he heard Ge Liang mention that he instinctively leaned back into the carriage, but as soon as he saw Liu Bei's gaze, he immediately came over and rode to his side.

That's right, my third master, if you don't break it, you won't have the story of the mighty Nagasaka Bridge, that is your most admired and enviable life!

Now that the people are in hand, Ge Liang did not forget to remind Liu Bei: "For the sake of safety, the lord also needs to quickly organize the team and accelerate the retreat to Jiangling, and at the same time pay attention to it from time to time, if the situation is not right, it is better to withdraw first." After finishing speaking, I felt that this was pure nonsense, could it be that Liu Bei would not run for his life?

Liu Bei nodded in thanks: "It's all up to the military advisor's clever plan." When he turned around, he instructed Xu Shu, Mi Fang, Huo Jun and others to urge the people to speed up their march and throw away some of the things that could be thrown first.

Ge Liang came to Huang Yue's car and stretched out his hand to her: "Attention, follow the lord's car closely, don't run away." ”

Huang Yue understood, stretched out his right hand to hold Ge Liang's hand and shook it: "You have to pay attention too, take care." At the same time, he put his left arm around Xiaobao and nodded heavily to Ge Liang.

Ge Liang turned around and asked the sergeants to borrow more firewood knives and hoes from the people: "Uncle and aunt, we will carry these bulky things for you first, so you can hurry up and hurry." ”

In Xiangyang City, Cao Cao, who had just completed the reception work with Liu Cong, learned that Liu Bei had just run for a long time, and that he had fled with a large number of people, stretched out his fingers and pinched a few handfuls, judging that he could not have the speed and formation of a normal march, and immediately ordered the general Wen Ping to lead the way, and Cao Chun led 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride lightly and pursue overnight, at least to occupy Jiangling City before Liu Bei.
