One day before the outbreak of the offensive and defensive battle of Bajun City, the gates of Bajun City were closed on all sides, and the people in the city were panicked, and the soldiers of the Shu army in the city patrolled back and forth, carefully imposing martial law.

The county warden's mansion in Ba County.

A spacious lobby above.

Liu Bei sat in the first place, with white hair growing between his temples, as if he had become old overnight, as if he was in his twilight years, and the spirit and spirit of his body had been dispersed.

The battle of Pujia Pass, for him Liu Bei, lost not only a battle, but also a breath.

He Liu Bei has fought on the battlefield since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, from Youzhou to Xuzhou, from Xuzhou to Jingzhou, from Jingzhou to Yizhou, repeatedly defeated, defeated again and again, and has come to this day, relying on an undefeated breath in his chest.

However, in the battle of Pujia Pass, he thought that he had a strong pass, a strong army, and was full of confidence, but he was broken through by the Wu army with the mythical tactics of the heavenly soldiers.

This battle completely broke up the breath in his chest.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the lobby of the county guard mansion was a little silent, and the few remaining generals of the Shu army were silent, staring at this wooden box.

The wooden box contained a bloody head.

The military advisor Chen Deng was captured by the Wu army in the first battle of Pujia Pass, and was finally beheaded by the Wu army to sacrifice the flag, and the head was actually Liu Bei's confidant and favorite general, and Chen Zhi, who was captured by the Wu army, personally brought it back.

Looking at this wooden box, the generals couldn't help but look at Chen Zhi who was kneeling in the center of the hall again, Chen Zhi's face was very pale, and he knew that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Yuanlong, I'm sorry for you!" Looking at a head placed in the wooden box in front of him, Liu Bei's face turned even paler, he was angry, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Chen Deng followed him for many years, for his Liu Bei's hegemony. The family was wiped out, and he became a cripple, and he still followed him loyally.

Now that he was beheaded for public display, he died without a place to be buried, which really made him feel guilty in his heart, adding the accumulated stasis of the battle of Pujiaguan. The whole person has weakened a lot.

"Take care, King!"

Chen Zhi knelt under His Royal Highness, watching Liu Bei's body shake a little and stand unsteadily, and stepped forward to help Liu Bei.

"Get out!"

Guan Yu, the red-faced man behind Liu Bei, strode out directly, kicked him over, his narrow phoenix eyes flashed with a cold murderous aura, and said: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, exchange Chen Junshi for their lives, and such ruthless and unrighteous things have also been done." A certain family used to misunderstand you! ”

"I didn't!"

When Chen Zhi heard this, he raised his head, stiffened his neck, looked at Guan Yu with a red face, and shouted: "The military advisor was not killed by me, I Chen Zhi is worthy of the king!" ”

Sun Quan found a very reasonable reason for him to return to Shuying, and now the entire Bajun City knows that it was he who was able to come back. It was to cut off Chen Deng's head and take Chen Deng's life. In exchange for their own way of living.

There are some illogical and absurd reasons, many generals of the Shu army believe it, and the eyes that look at him are somewhat contemptuous.

"Uncle Zhi, Lone has trusted you all these years, why did you betray Lone?" Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head slightly. Looking at the young man Chen Zhi who was kneeling in front of the hall, he said in a cold voice.

"King, Chen Zhi's loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the heavens and the earth are the proof. There is no intention of betrayal, this is Sun Zhongmou's ruthless strategy, I have never killed the military division, he imposed this charge on me, just to want the king to be jealous of me, and want us to have internal strife, please believe that Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi will never betray the king! ”

Chen Zhi's head slammed heavily on the bluestone brick and said loudly.

"You personally brought back the head of the military division, and you still want to quibble, Wu Jun can let you go, it must be that you have surrendered to them, they want you to do something for them, just open the gate of the city for us, brother, let me cut off his head with a knife!" Guan Yu drank.

When Chen Zhi heard the words, he turned a deaf ear, he prostrate on the ground, waiting for Liu Bei's voice, he only cared about Liu Bei's opinion.

"Chen Dao, Lone asks you again, why do you want to betray Lone?" Liu Bei stood up, stretched out his hand and gently pressed Guan Yu, his eyes were full of meaning, and he looked at Chen Zhi deadly.

"The king, I don't, I am loyal to the king, and I will never dare to betray!"

Chen Zhi raised his head and said word by word.

"But Chen Deng's head was brought back by you!" Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, he thought for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you have to say!" ”

"The military advisor has done his best for the king, and now before he is beheaded by Wu Jun, I can't bear his head being trampled on!" Chen Zhi said calmly.

"You are Lone's love general, and you were captured because of Lone, but Sun Zhongmou can put you back safe and sound, how can you let Lone believe in you!"

Liu Bei looked at him, his heart throbbed slightly, and asked: "If you say that Sun Quan loves talent and turns talent, the military advisor will not lose to you, but he killed the military advisor, but only let you go!" ”

"The last general has nothing to say, I am willing to die to make my will clear!"

Chen Zhi's heart sank, this is a knot that cannot be untied, trust is trust, disbelief is disbelief, what he says is useless.

"Do you think Lone won't dare kill you?"

Liu Bei shouted, drew his sword and came out, pointing at Chen Zhi's head, with a fierce killing intent.

"There will be no complaints!" Chen's words are simple.

"Really?"

"No complaints!"

"Lone believes in you once!"

Liu Bei's hand holding the long sword was slightly pale, Chen Zhi was his favorite general, and he trusted Chen Zhi more than Zhuge Liang Chen Deng.

He didn't believe that Chen Zhi would betray, but he had to give him a try.

He was very satisfied with the result.

"Get up!" Liu Bei swung his sword back into the scabbard, sat down again, and his complexion regained a lot of blood.

"Thank you for your trust!"

Chen Zhi's eyes were full of tears, he stood up and said with a cry.

"Big brother?"

Guan Yu looked at Chen Zhi's gaze that was still fierce and killing, and he still didn't believe it.

"Lone believes in him!"

Liu Bei said lightly: "Uncle Chen's character, Gu Xin understands it very well, he is by no means a betrayal, Sun Zhongmou thinks that he can use this little discord to make Gu Ziduan have an arm, he thinks too neatly, of course!" ”

"King Shengming!"

The generals looked at Liu Bei's face and immediately understood that Liu Bei was just a temptation before.

"Uncle Zhi, Lone has a task that you need to do immediately!" Liu Bei said in a harmonious voice.

"Please, the king's command!"

"You have five thousand troops. Return to Chengdu City immediately, at this time, Chengdu City must not be chaotic, Kong Ming alone, there are not many troops in his hands, it is difficult to stabilize Zhao Wei and these people! Liu Bei said softly.

"But the King. Now that the city of Bajun is in danger, how can I leave the king's side? Chen Zhi frowned, he was a guard, and he shouldn't leave Liu Bei at this time.

"It's okay, Bajun City can't hold it here, we have to give up after all, Chengdu City is our final battlefield!" Liu Bei's eyes burst out with a cold light: "He Sun Zhongmou wants to kill them all, and Lone will fight him to the death in Chengdu City!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Chen Zhi suddenly understood something, and glanced at Liu Bei with a somewhat gloomy gaze. Finally nodded, and then took the order.

"Big brother, do you really believe him?" Guan Yu looked at Chen Zhi's back with a little coldness, and said, "He can be put back in Wuying unharmed, it is impossible that there are no conditions at all!" ”

"I believe, I always believe that Uncle Chen will not betray Gu!"

Liu Bei's eyes had a deep meaning: "But Gu can't do it now, and he didn't have any vigilance against him in the past, and he didn't dare to leave him in Ba County, but I was afraid that he would ruin my battle situation if there was a chance of one in 10,000!" ”

"In case he has really surrendered to Wu Jun. When he returns to Chengdu, will it break the strategy of the military advisor? ”

"Rest assured. If he really betrayed the Shu Kingdom, even if he could hide Lone's eyes, he wouldn't be able to hide the shrewd Kong Ming, and in the current situation, Lone trusted him, but he didn't dare to use him. But Kong Ming can use him! Liu Bei said.

"Big brother, we really have to retreat!" Guan Yu's face was solemn: "Now we still have tens of thousands of troops in our hands, and the White Emperor City has not been breached, we still have a chance!" ”

"There's no chance, White Emperor City? I'm afraid it's already changed hands by this time. Zhang Ren and we are never of the same mind, as soon as the Pujia Pass is broken, he will fall to us, I don't know what happened to the third brother now! ”

Liu Bei stood at the door, his hands behind his back, looking at the sky, his expression was a little gloomy: "I don't want to die here, as long as we can return to Chengdu City safely, we still have a trace of life!" ”

As he spoke, he spread out his palm, and on it was a letter sent from Chengdu City: "Kong Ming has laid out the overall situation in Chengdu, just waiting for us to put it back!" ”

"What if Chengdu can't hold it?" Guan Yu said suddenly.

"Take a look, take a step!"

He has gone through many dangers over the years, but this time is the most desperate time for him Liu Bei, and he can't see the road ahead: "Maybe there is another way, we can go to Cao Wei, but we have to send people to the fence again!" ”

"Where my brother is, Guan Yu is there!" Guan Yu said persistently.

Liu Bei was slightly moved, his biggest achievement in his life was the Taoyuan Righteousness of the year, and the two righteous younger brothers accompanied him to fight all his life.

"Thunder Copper!" Liu Bei cleaned up his emotions and shouted.

"King!" Dahan Lei Tong walked out.

In the first battle of Pujiaguan, the more famous generals were either killed or captured by the Wu army, and none of the generals at the level of generals such as Pang Xi and Yan Yan were spared, but Lei Tong, these generals, were saved a lot.

"The defensive battle of Bajun City, Lone will be handed over to you!" Liu Bei looked at this general and said: "Lonely, you will defend the city with you, I don't want to be able to defend the city, but I have to resist for at least three days, you can be confident!" ”

"The last general commands!" Lei Tong nodded.

"Cloud Chief!" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu.

"Big brother!"

"Now the Bajun City has been surrounded, our only way out is Linjiang, Linjiang can go straight into Chengdu, you take the soldiers and horses to take the Linjiang ferry, hold the ferry, and then collect the ships of all parties on the spot, within three days, you must collect enough ships, and then wait for the lone leader to come, go up the river, and go straight into Chengdu City!"

Liu Bei thought for a while and added: "If it's three days, you can't wait for Lone to break through, go north by yourself!" ”

"Brother, don't say that!"

Guan Yu said firmly: "If my brother doesn't come, Yu will never go north, and if you don't see it, you won't leave!" (To be continued.) )
