At sunset, looking at the closed city gate and the Liuzi banner that had been replaced at the head of the city, Gao Shun frowned and looked at Xiong Kuohai: "How could Liu Bei be here?" ”

"The last general doesn't know, but there don't seem to be many defenders in the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiong Kuohai shook his head.

"This Mengjin city defense is also strong, but there are not many defenders, if you want to attack it, I'm afraid it will not be easy." Pang Tong rode his horse to Gao Shun's side, frowned at the Mengjin city wall, shook his head and sighed: "This surprise attack has fallen short. ”

Gao Shun nodded, turned his head to look at Xiong Kuohai and said: "General Xiong doesn't have to blame himself, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, since the surprise attack is not successful, we will return to the army and attack Cai Mao with the generals." ”

In this big battle, to deal with Cai Mao's 80,000 army, the troops are already stretched, and Gao Shun's side naturally does not have many troops that can be used for surprise attacks, and now Meng Jin has been prepared.

There is no way to continue fighting, there are not many troops, and Meng Jin was repaired by Cao Ren like an iron bucket, even if he has some advantage in troops, it is almost impossible to fight down.

Gao Shun and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought in Xuzhou, of course, Gao Shun could not run to fight with others, he believed in the overall combat effectiveness rather than the individual, these three brothers are not bad, and Guan Zhang's two generals are fierce generals who can fight with Lu Bu in terms of force, at this time Gao Shun is already in control, and he doesn't want to waste troops here, so he immediately retreats with his soldiers and horses.

On the city wall, looking at Gao Shun's retreat, Liu Bei was also secretly relieved, he also didn't want to fight, the power of the camp, when he was in Xuzhou, he had already understood, Guan Yu's city was almost broken by these 800 people, now the soldiers are outnumbered, Liu Bei is used to being poor, and he will feel distressed if he loses a little, plus Sima Lang has just died, and he naturally does not want to continue to entangle with Gao Shun at this moment.

As for Cai Mao and the army under his command, without Sima Lang's advice, Liu Bei faintly guessed that something might have happened to Cai Mao, but at this moment, even if he wanted to save it, he was powerless, so he guarded Meng Jin first, and depending on the situation, he would withdraw his troops if he couldn't do it.

Outside Luoyang City, in Cai Mao's camp, more and more soldiers gathered, although this battle was defeated very badly, but after all, the army of 80,000, even if they stood and let Ma Chao and Wei Yan kill them, it was impossible to be killed all at once, from morning to evening, there were forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses who came back one after another, but it did not make Cai Mao's mood improve, because with the return of the defeated soldiers, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning's thinking army gradually gathered over, and with them, there were also three damn monster crossbows.

Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were the last to arrive, and when the sentry came to report that Gao Shun was coming from the northeast, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's hearts were relieved.

The unknown is always terrible, Gao Shun came from the northeast, indicating that Gao Shun should go to attack Mengjin, if the other party really captured Mengjin, there is no need to show up so quickly, just drag it out for a few days, after the grain and grass on his side are cut off, there is no need to fight again, the Jingzhou army will collapse without a fight, Gao Shun will appear here, that is to say, Gao Shun's plan to attack Mengjin failed, which undoubtedly made Kuai Yue and Cai Mao pinch a cold sweat while rejoicing.

"Grand Governor, retire the troops." In the midst of a dreary tent, a general suddenly spoke.

The morale of the army has been dispersed, and as the weather gets colder and colder, the soldiers in the north still don't feel anything, but the soldiers in Jingzhou have obviously begun to be unable to adapt to the climate here, and if they continue to fight, they will only lose even worse.

I want to go too!

Cai Mao shook his head bitterly: "Even if our army retreats at this moment, Mengjin Caoren may not be willing to let me wait, and the tens of thousands of troops outside the camp will let us leave?" ”

People not only have strong infantry, but also a highly mobile cavalry, if Cai Mao chooses to retreat at this time, then from here to Mengjin this way, I am afraid that today's rout will be staged again.

When the generals heard this, they fell silent for a while, and if there was another such rout, would the Jingzhou army be able to afford it? And this time, it is because of the military rations that the Jingzhou army can be gathered here again, but what about the next time? Carrying a baggage to escape the pursuit of the cavalry is tantamount to an idiot's dream, that is, Kuai Yue, and there is nothing to be done at the moment.

At the same time, in the city of Mengjin, after Liu Bei took over Mengjin, he was lucky to usher in a batch of grain and grass transported from Nanyang, which was stuck by Liu Bei, first, there was a shortage of food in the army, and second, there was grain and grass to control the soldiers and horses in front, but for the road ahead, Liu Bei was suddenly a little confused.

In the past, Sima Lang gave him advice and planned the future, Liu Bei has been in Jingzhou for a few days, although he has not been able to grasp the real power, but the invisible power is constantly expanding, but now that Sima Lang is dead, Liu Bei suddenly fell into confusion, where should he go tomorrow? Liu Bei suddenly wanted to return to Jizhou at this moment, no matter what, Sima Lang said before his death that Liu Bei of Lumen naturally heard of it, it was the holy land of Jingxiang Shizi, but unfortunately he had never had the opportunity to visit, this time, Liu Bei wanted to try his luck.

He needed a good advisor like Sima Lang to show him the way.

With a light sigh, Liu Bei pushed the door out, but saw that under the light of the fire, a majestic figure stood in the courtyard, with a sense of loneliness.

"Yun Chang, how are your injuries?" Liu Bei stepped forward and asked.

"Out of the way." Guan Yu shook his head, looked up at the night sky obscured by dark clouds, and turned his head to look at Liu Bei: "Big brother, today, I suddenly have a feeling of old age. ”

Old?

Liu Bei was slightly stunned, silent, nearly half a hundred years old, but there is still no place to stand, that kind of feeling, he has more real experience than Guan Yu, but in the past, he rarely thought about it, or forced himself not to think about it, at this time, Guan Yu suddenly brought it up, and he didn't feel a little twitch in his heart.

Guan Yu didn't seem to feel Liu Bei's silence, looked at the sky, and muttered: "Lu Buhu's power is still there, but the young generals under his tent are endless, Ma Chao, Pang De, Wei Yan, Xu Sheng...... Today, a young general dares to make a move on me, it's really ......"

In the end, he didn't say it, Lu Buhu was still there, and the younger generation under his command had begun to emerge, he didn't say Zhao Yun, for fear that Liu Bei would be stimulated, but what about his own side? Under Guan Zhang, maybe only Chen Zhi can be called a general, and his son Guan Ping's martial arts are not bad, but under Lu Bu, I am afraid it is only Xu Sheng's level, which makes Guan Yu, who wants to help Liu Bei achieve a great cause, has a sense of frustration in his heart.

The frustration on Liu Bei's body quickly dissipated, and he stood beside Guan Yu, shook his head and looked at the sky and said, "Yun Chang, three years ago, did you ever think that Lu Bu would have today?" ”

Unconsciously, Lu Bu seemed to have gradually replaced Cao Cao, and in the hearts of the three brothers, he became the biggest rival.

"Never!" Guan Yu shook his head, three years ago, Lu Bu defeated Xuzhou, was almost captured alive by Cao Cao, and fled in embarrassment with only more than 500 soldiers and went into exile in the Central Plains, even if he met once in Runan later, Lu Bu looked more like a bandit leader at that time, how could he have thought that in just three years, Lu Bu would have today's momentum?

"In that case, why be frustrated?" Liu Bei stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the sky, with a hint of tenacity in his faint tone: "I never thought that Lu Bu would have where I am today three years ago, but I don't know what kind of situation I Liu Bei will be in three years?" ”

Guan Yu looked at his brother and nodded silently, Liu Bei has such magic power, no matter what the situation, he can ignite the yearning of the people around him for the future.

"Now that my husband has passed away, you and my brother will work together." patted Guan Yu's uninjured shoulder, Liu Bei said with a smile: "Although I don't know what the battle situation is, but Cai Mao is afraid that it will not be able to do it, no matter what, this army must be rescued, Yun Chang will think about it for me, what should I do?" ”

Although Sima Lang is dead, Liu Bei's goal of this trip must be achieved, and he must have a force of his own in his hands, one to help Liu Biao compete with the family, and on the other hand, Liu Bei also needs a force to help him gain a firm foothold in the Jingzhou army.

"Big brother, how about I personally go to the barracks to check the situation and bring them back?" Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

"No, the second brother is alone, he is alone, I'm afraid that Cai Mao will be plotting." Liu Bei shook his head, saving is to save, but to catch Guan Yu for this, but the gain outweighs the loss, if Guan Yu really goes alone, I am afraid that most of them will be used by Cai Mao to break the queen, a majestic sea plus Wei Yan, Ma Chao and other fierce generals under Lu Bu, don't say a Guan Yu, even with Zhang Fei, I'm afraid I can't fight these people together.

"In this matter, try to send someone to inform Cai Mao and inform him that Mengjin has been occupied by our army, let him come to meet by himself, and we can pick him up along the way." Liu Bei thought about it, the notice must be notified, and the destruction of the army in front will not do him any good.

"The second brother fought hard today and was injured again, let's go and rest early." Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and smiled.

"Big brother also rests early." Guan Yu nodded, and was about to turn his head back to the house, when he suddenly felt something fall on his face, and a coldness spread rapidly, and he subconsciously looked up, but saw that in the sky, I don't know when the snowflakes began to fall.

"Snow?"

Guan Yu and Liu Bei were slightly stunned, and then the two of them glanced at each other: "Come on, quickly send a fast horse to the camp of the Metropolitan Governor, inform the Metropolitan Governor that Mengjin has been occupied by our army, let him quickly return to Mengjin and join our army, and I will send someone to meet him along the way." ”

Snow, it also means that the mobility of the cavalry will be greatly weakened on such days, and once the snow falls, it is also quite unfavorable for the march, and more importantly, the combat power of the troops will be reduced a lot, this snow is too timely, if Cai Mao wants to retreat, this heavy snow will be his best cover, and it is also his only chance, for Liu Bei, it is also an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to grasp the military power.
