"General, what should I do next?" Chen came to his side, and a guard asked weakly. In the past few days, Chen Zhi still has not given up hope of finding Liu Bei, and he has also learned a rough idea of the news from all sides.

Through the news from the direction of Xuchang City, General Guan and General Zhang have been confirmed to have been captured by Cao's army. Among them, General Zhang was injured and never came out after being sent to the hospital by Cao Jun.

Liu Jun also went to the infirmary to try his luck, but the infirmary was well guarded, and it seemed to be an important place in Cao's army. Especially the inner courtyard of the infirmary, which is even more heavily guarded, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the inner courtyard of the infirmary, so everyone doesn't know what happened to General Zhang.

The situation of General Guan is much better, but General Guan is now under house arrest by Cao Jun, and Liu Jun once thought of trying to get close to General Guan, but they were all discovered by Cao Jun, so in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Liu Jun did not act rashly.

Knowing the news of General Guan and General Zhang, Chen Zhi was somewhat relieved. Although, although the situation of the two generals at this time is not very good, it is much better than not having any news.

However, to Chen Zhi's disappointment, Liu Jun's soldiers in Xuchang did not find Liu Bei's figure, and no one inquired about any news about Liu Bei. This disappointed Chen Zhi, but it also gave Chen Zhi hope.

Cao Jun did not have any news of Liu Bei, which proved that Cao Jun did not catch the lord. Of course, this does not send Liu Bei to be secretly killed by Cao Jun. Of course, this is unlikely, after all, General Guan and General Zhang have always been with the lord, and if the lord has any accidents, the two will definitely not sit idly by. Even if Cao Jun wanted to hide it, it was impossible for him to hide it for so long.

General Guan General Zhang and the lord are brothers and sisters, and the three of them are righteous brothers, so if the lord is out of the army, General Guan will definitely not get along with Cao Jun so harmoniously. Therefore, the lord Liu Bei must have escaped the pursuit of Cao Jun, but the problem now is that Chen Zhi still doesn't know where Liu Bei is.

In addition to Liu Bei, whose whereabouts are unknown, Liu Bei's family members and Liu Jun's other strategists in Huainan did not appear in Xuchang City, which proves that someone evacuated Huainan with Liu Bei's family at the last moment.

The whereabouts of these people have also become secret, and Chen Zhi sent Ran to Huainan to look for it several times, but he did not find any news about the lord's family.

But it's no wonder that in addition to Chen Dao, Cao Jun is naturally also looking for Liu Bei's family. Because this is a good means of coercion, they can make Guan Yu throw a rat trap.

Zhang Fei's condition is unknown, and God knows if he will suddenly die one day. If Zhang Fei really died, then Guan Yu would definitely go crazy. Therefore, when Zhang Fei's situation was unknown, Cao Jun could only put Guan Yu under house arrest to prevent Guan Yu from suddenly breaking out.

Of course, house arrest is a method that is only for a short time, but it cannot be used for a lifetime. Therefore, in addition to Zhang Fei, Cao Jun naturally needs other people to restrain Guan Yu, and Liu Bei's family members have naturally become the best means of restraining.

So for Cao Jun, Liu Bei's family is determined to win. So they tried their best to find Liu Bei's family. Fortunately, Liu Bei's reputation in Huainan is good, and the people learned that Cao Jun was looking for Liu Bei's family, but no one said where Liu Bei's family had gone.

Upon learning of this news, Cao Jun also changed other methods, and the people sang bitter fruits about this. They are absolutely ashamed of Liu Bei, so the people after suffering losses are quite vigilant. Therefore, it is not surprising that Chen has been searching for no results.

Unable to find Liu Bei and Liu Bei's family, Chen Zhi felt that he was quite useless. Moreover, the current situation of Chen Zhijun is also quite dangerous. They had no more food and grass, and the thousands of soldiers under his command had been hungry for several meals. If you can't think of a solution, then your nearly 1,000 soldiers can really only starve to death.

"General, what should I do next?" Chen Dao's personal soldier asked again. Seeing that Chen Zhi didn't reply, he thought that Chen Zhi hadn't heard his words, so he repeated it again.

Chen Zhi reflected this time, he looked at the soldiers around him, and his face was quite ugly. These days, Chen Zhi has been thinking about what to do next, and he can't find Liu Bei at present, so the life and death of these thousands of soldiers are all in his own hands.

At this time, Chen Zhi felt how much responsibility he was carrying on his shoulders, and the heavy responsibility of life and death of thousands of people was on his shoulders, and Chen Zhi felt how difficult it was to let these soldiers live.

Seeing that Chen Zhi was silent, the soldiers didn't dare to say anything. The soldiers knew that during this time, Chen Zhi was more tired than anyone else. On the one hand, he had to find the lord, and on the other hand, he had to lead the troops to prevent the Cao army from discovering it. He followed Chen Zhi's side, and naturally knew how many days and nights Chen Zhi had difficulty sleeping.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Zhi finally spoke. He looked at the soldiers around him, and then said: "We should find the lord, but now that I am in a crisis, I can't find food and grass, and I am afraid that we will all starve to death." ”

"I thought about it, I will wait for the withdrawal of the army to Huainan, and then find a place to occupy the mountain as the king. I can't wait for my brothers to starve to death, so at this time, that's all I can do. ”

"But general, why did you choose Huainan?" Chen Dao's pro-soldier asked. You know, Huainan is notoriously poor, and it is not a good choice to go to Huainan to be a bandit, so you have to go to Xuzhou or other places.

"I know what you're thinking, but Huainan is the best choice right now." Hearing the words of the pro-soldiers, Chen Zhi replied.

"Huainan is the weak area of Cao's defense, and Huainan has experienced Sun Ce's raids, basically ten rooms and nine emptiness. It's more suitable for us to hide. Moreover, the lord has a good reputation in Huainan, and we can also use this to accumulate strength. ”

"After this great defeat, the lord will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Otherwise, General Guan and General Zhang would not have been captured by Cao's army. Therefore, we have to accumulate strength and continue to follow the assist after the lord has paid. ”

Chen Zhi thought about this for a long time, and he thought that Huainan was indeed a good place. Without Cao's heavy guards, it is suitable for its own development.

Hearing Chen Dao's words, the pro-soldier frowned slightly. After thinking about it for a while, I think General Chen Zhi's statement is good. But as for whether Liu Bei can make a comeback, the soldiers dare not guarantee it.

Liu Bei was defeated in this battle, and even General Guan and General Zhang were captured by Cao's army, but the soldiers were very optimistic that Liu Bei would be able to come back. The soldiers also knew that Cao Jun had completely annihilated Liu Jun, and presumably there were still a few soldiers around Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei was really allowed to run out of 1,800 people, Cao Jun would never say that he had completely annihilated Liu Bei's troops. Therefore, it is absolutely conceivable how many people are around Liu Bei. It is a bit of a fool's dream to be able to make a comeback with a few people.

Seeing the look of the pro-soldier, Chen Zhi frowned. He asked, "What's the matter, what are you thinking?" ”

"Back to the general, I'm not very disgusted to go up to the mountain to be a bandit, but does the lord still have a chance to make a comeback?" The pro-soldier said resignedly. The pro-soldier followed Chen Zhi from Xuzhou together, and he has always been a pro-soldier by Chen Zhi's side, so the relationship between the two can naturally be said without anything.

Hearing the words of the soldiers, Chen Zhi's expression naturally changed. He glared at the soldiers beside him fiercely, and then said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about, if it weren't for the fact that you have been following me for so long, I would have dragged you out and cut you down first." ”

Feeling the murderous aura in Chen Zhi's words, the pro-soldier shrank back obediently. He knew that Chen Zhi was not joking with himself. He said that it was possible to drag it out and cut it, then it was really possible to cut himself.

"The lord is a hero, although this battle was a fiasco, but I believe that the lord can still stand up, you just need to believe in this, you don't need to think about anything else." Chen Zhi reprimanded.

The pro-soldier nodded, although he was obedient to Chen Zhi on the surface, he was still very optimistic about Liu Bei in his heart. And Chen Zhi obviously knew the thoughts of the pro-soldiers, after all, the pro-soldiers had been with him for so long, and he could still see some small movements.

At this time, Chen Zhi began to feel a little worried, his own soldiers all thought like this, and I am afraid that many Liu Jun soldiers also thought like this. After all, Liu Bei has not heard from him for so long, and no one knows if he is still alive, and even Chen Zhi himself has no confidence.

However, he couldn't let this kind of thinking grow, otherwise, before he found Liu Bei, his army would probably disperse. He looked at the guards beside him, and then said in a deep voice: "I think that when the lord was in Xuzhou, he also experienced a big defeat and lost his territory, and now it is almost the same as when he was in Xuzhou, I believe that the lord will be able to revive his actions." ”

When he said that it was almost the same, Chen Zhi's expression was obviously a little unnatural. There is not much difference between them, and it can be said that there is a world of difference. Xuzhou was defeated, Liu Bei was at least feathered Zhang Fei by his side, and Liu Bei was at least surrounded by a lot of warriors, but looking at the present, if there is no grain and grass, I am afraid that my thousands of soldiers will disappear.

However, Chen Zhi's rather affirmative tone was still very convincing, and when the guards saw that General Chen Zhi was so sure that Liu Bei could make a comeback, he was somewhat comforted in his heart. After all, Liu Bei didn't have any news, and everyone would be impetuous.

"General, I was wrong." The pro-soldier bowed his head and apologized.

Chen Zhi patted his own soldier on the shoulder, and then said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with you, now is a special period, as long as we get through this period, we will be able to see the lord take off." ”

The soldier nodded fiercely, although he didn't know if what Chen Zhi said would come true, but at least it made him think about it. I am the elite army of the lord, and I can't insult the name of my own army.

Seeing that the eyes of the soldiers lit up again, Chen Zhi nodded slightly. At this time, he swore in his heart that he must lead this army well and make them stronger and stronger. Powerful enough to be seen directly by enemies.
