Liu Bei went all the way north and fled back to Huai'an, but the scene of the city gate closed in front of him made him a little surprised, and gave the soldiers beside him a look, who walked quickly to the city gate with understanding, and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, Liu Zhoumu is back." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

On the tower of the city gate, a sergeant flashed out from the female wall where he was hiding, and shouted loudly: "Liu Zhoumu, my son-in-law has sent me to take this city, you should go back and forth from where." ”

"Hmph, brethren, come with me and break through the gates!"

Guan Yu snorted angrily, dragging the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to attack the city, not wanting many archers to suddenly appear in the city, all of them were tense, and there was a momentum of starting a fight without saying a word.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly called Guan Yu, "Yun Chang, don't be impulsive, our army has only been hit hard, and most of the soldiers have no intention of fighting again, so this Huai'an City will give him Yuan Jiang." ”

Glancing at the demoralized troops, Guan Yu sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Walking on the thorny path, Liu Bei has never felt so sad, Huaiyin City has not been taken, he has lost thousands of people in vain, not to mention, even the gateway to Xuzhou - Huai'an City has also been lost, it is really a waste of chickens and rice.

"Alas!" With a long sigh, Liu Bei turned around and instructed the herald: "You go to herald and let everyone rest in place!" ”

"Whoa!" The herald agreed, led the order, Guan Yu, who had been broken, after hearing the order, walked quickly to the head of the row, at this time, Liu Bei was sitting on a big rock, sighing for a long time, seeing Guan Yu walking towards him, he barely squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, he said: "Yun Chang, this time we lost a mess, it is really unexpected." ”

"Yes, who would have thought that this son of Yuan Shu would become so alert, not only knowing to ambush us at the Huaiyin Ferry, but also making the fire plan stop us and take advantage of the situation to take Huai'an!"

Guan Yu nodded in agreement, opened the lid of the wine jug hanging from his waist, and handed it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took the wine jug and poured a big sip on his back, the wine in the mouth was like a snake spitting letters, burrowing into his internal organs, and suddenly a spicy feeling swept through his heart, he settled down and sighed.

"I used to really underestimate this kid, thinking that he was just like his father, an ambitious and self-righteous reckless man, but now it seems that my idea is very wrong!"

"This son is well versed in the art of war, brave and strategic, and there are a few fierce generals under his command who are one hundred and hundred, and over time, he will become a great weapon!"

Guan Yu pinched his long hair with his right hand, and his sharp gaze shifted to Chen Zhen's body.

Chen Zhen, who had an injury on his shoulder, endured the pain, and with the support of the two soldiers, he slowly walked in front of the two of them, grinning, "What Yun Chang said is true, just Chen Zhi, who patted the horse with his bare hands, has the courage to be unstoppable; There is also the fisherman who fought with Yun Chang before, I think it should also be Yuan Jiang's subordinate, judging by his martial arts, it should be no less than Yun Chang! ”

Guan Yu stomped the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand and sneered, "If Guan didn't know how to fight water, I'm afraid he would have slashed that guy with one knife and removed a big disaster for the eldest brother!" ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's think about our plans for the future! Come, filial piety, you sit here and talk to us. ”

Liu Bei stood up and helped Chen Zhen sit down without saying anything.

"Thank you, Lord." Chen Zhen was not pretentious, after sitting down, he pondered for a while before saying: "For today's plan, I can only go back to Yinling first, recuperate, and then send a messenger to make peace with Yuan Shu, and return to Xuzhou through Huai'an." ”

"Humph!" Guan Yu's nostrils turned to the sky, and he snorted heavily, "Even he Yuan Shu deserves to let us make peace?" ”

Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu and scolded: "Yun Chang stopped talking, and listened to Xiaoqi finish speaking." ”

Guan Yu walked aside angrily and ignored the two of them, while Liu Bei smiled and said, "Filial piety, Yun Chang has this temperament, don't be angry, continue." ”

Chen Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lord, although you have been canonized by the imperial court and raised the Xuzhou pastor, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and your strength is too small. Yuan Highway is different, he has been entrenched in Huainan for a long time, not to mention the famous family, there are dozens of fierce generals under him alone, no less than 200,000 soldiers, and Huainan is rich, food is not worried, and waterway transportation is smooth; Looking at the world, there are few opponents, and it is really unwise for us to be enemies. ”

Liu Bei sighed and sat down next to Chen Zhen, "Filial piety, why do I want to be an enemy of Yuan Highway?" You also know that this time he attacked me Xuzhou first, and I was forced to fight with him as a last resort. ”

"Just like the lord said before, Yuan Highway is indeed a person with no ambitions, since this is the case, we should grasp his flaw, make use of it, turn enemies into friends, and turn passivity into initiative."

"What if?"

"We might as well give him Yinling City, give him some food brocade, and send an envoy to repair it with all his might, then Xuzhou can be guaranteed, and we can have many powerful allies. In this way, the lord no longer needs to worry about Cao Cao and his people attacking. ”

Liu Bei thought about it and clapped his hands in praise, "What Xiaoqi said is a good strategy, but this Huai'an City is still lost, so can this Yinling City still be in our hands?" ”

Chen Zhen smiled and waved his hand, "The lord's words are wrong, if I am not wrong, this Yinling City still belongs to the lord." ”

"Why is that?" Liu Bei looked puzzled.

Chen Zhen explained to him with a smile, "If Yinling City is also captured by him, then we will definitely fall into an embattled situation, with nowhere to go, and we can only choose a breakthrough when the time comes, and this breakthrough point will naturally be placed in Huai'an." ”

Liu Bei thought so, "A certain person has this idea." ”

"If we fight against the water and take Huai'an City by luck, then won't he Yuan Jiang regret dying? Because the importance of this Huai'an City and Yinling City is well known, I dare to guarantee that this Yinling City will definitely not be captured. ”

After listening to Chen Zhen's explanation, Liu Bei suddenly realized, "So that's the case." ”

"Da-da-da-da." While the two were talking, there was a low sound of horses' hooves like thunder in the distance, Chen Zhen pointed to the front, and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, you see that General Mi is here, and you will know that what I said is true when you ask later." ”

When Mi Fang turned over and dismounted, Liu Bei stood up and asked tentatively, "General Mi, why are you here?" Could it be that Yuan Jun has already taken Yinling City? ”

"Nope." Mi Fang shook his head, "Don't worry, my lord, I have sent people to build a high city wall to guard against the enemy army day and night, and the entire Yinling City can be said to be impregnable, and it will definitely not be captured." It's just that I heard that Huai'an has been lost, and the lord has also suffered heavy losses in the front, so I specially brought a part of the soldiers and horses to rush to help. ”

Liu Bei patted him on the shoulder with relief, "It's rare that you have a heart." ”

Mi Fang arched his hand and said: "This is the duty of the last general. ”

Chen Zhen smiled bitterly on the side: "General Mi, I'm afraid that the Yinling City that you have worked so hard to garrison will be handed over." ”

Mi Fang was confused, "Filial piety, what does this mean?" ”
