Chapter 273: Choice

PS: It's the last day of 2014, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, all kinds of begging!

"General, what should I do next?" Beside Sun Gan, a personal guard asked weakly, in the past few days, Sun Gan still has not given up hope of finding the lord Liu Bei, and he has also learned about the news from all sides.

According to the news from the direction of Xuchang City, General Guan and General Zhang had been confirmed to have been captured by Cao's army, among them, General Zhang was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital by Cao's army, and never came out again.

Liu Jun also went to the infirmary to try his luck, but the infirmary was well guarded, and it seemed to be a very important place in Cao's army, especially the inner courtyard of the infirmary, which was even more heavily guarded, and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter the inner courtyard of the infirmary, so everyone didn'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, Sun Qian was somewhat relieved, although the situation of the two generals at this time was not very good, but since it was much better than not having any news.

However, to Sun Gan's disappointment, the soldiers of Liu Jun in Xuchang did not find the figure of the lord Liu Bei, and at the same time, no one inquired about any news about Liu Bei, which made Sun Qian feel disappointed, but this also gave Sun Qian hope.

Since there is no news of the lord Liu Bei from Cao Jun, it proves that Cao Jun did not catch the lord, of course, this does not rule out that Liu Bei has been secretly killed by Cao Jun, of course, this is unlikely. After all, General Guan and General Zhang have always been with the lord, if the lord has any accidents, the two of them will definitely not sit idly by, even if Cao Jun wants to hide it, he can't hide it for so long.

General Guan and General Zhang are brothers and sisters with the lord, and the three are sworn brothers. Therefore, if the lord died, General Guan would never get along so harmoniously with Cao Jun, so the lord Liu Bei must have escaped the pursuit of Cao Jun, but the problem now is that Sun Qian 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 at the critical moment. Someone escorted Liu Bei's family and evacuated Huainan.

The whereabouts of these people also became secret, and Sun Qian sent Ran to Huainan to search for them several times, but he did not find any news about the lord's family.

But it's no wonder that in addition to Sun Qian, Cao Jun is naturally also looking for Liu Bei's family, because this is a good means of coercion, and they can make Guan Yu throw a mouse.

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 only for a short time, but it can't be used for a lifetime, so. In addition to Zhang Fei, Cao Jun naturally needed other people to restrain Guan Yu, and Liu Bei's family naturally became the best means of restraining him.

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

Knowing this news, Cao Jun also changed other methods, in this regard, the people have tasted the bitter fruit, and they all feel ashamed of Liu Bei, so the people after suffering losses are quite vigilant, so it is not surprising that Sun Qian's search for no results is expected.

Unable to find Liu Bei and Liu Bei's family, Sun Qian felt that he was quite useless, and the current situation of Sun Qianjun's army was also quite dangerous, they had no food and grass, and the thousands of soldiers under his command had been hungry for several meals, if they couldn't think of a solution, then their nearly 1,000 soldiers could really only starve to death.

"General, what should I do next?" Sun Gan's personal soldier asked again, he saw that Sun Gan did not reply, and thought that Sun Gan did not hear his words, so he repeated it again.

Sun Gan reacted this time, he looked at the soldiers around him, his face was quite ugly, these days, Sun Gan 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 hands.

At this time, Sun Qian felt how much responsibility he was shouldering, and the heavy responsibility of life and death of thousands of people was on his shoulders, and Sun Qian felt how difficult it was to let these soldiers survive.

Seeing that Sun Gan was silent, the pro-soldiers didn't dare to say anything, the pro-soldiers knew that during this time, the general 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 Cao Jun from finding out, he followed Sun Gan's side, and naturally knew how many days and nights Sun Gan had difficulty sleeping these days.

After being silent for a long time, Sun Qian 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." ”

"After thinking about it, we will wait for the withdrawal of the army to Huainan, and then find a place to occupy the mountain as the king, we can't let the brothers starve to death, so at this time, it can only be like this."

"But general, why did you choose Huainan?" Sun Gan's personal soldiers asked, you know, Huainan is notoriously poor, and it is not a good choice to go to Huainan to be a bandit, why don't you go to Xuzhou or other places.

"Qian knows what you're thinking, but now Huainan is the best choice." Hearing the words of the pro-soldier, Sun Qian replied,

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

"After this defeat, the lord will inevitably suffer heavy losses, otherwise General Guan and General Zhang will not be captured by the Cao army, so we must accumulate strength and continue to follow the assist after the lord returns."

Sun Gan thought about this for a long time, and he thought that Huainan was indeed a good place, without the heavy garrison of Cao's army, it was suitable for his own development.

Hearing Sun Gan's words, the pro-soldiers frowned slightly, thought for a while, and thought that General Sun Gan's statement was good, but as for whether Liu Bei could make a comeback, the pro-soldiers did not dare to guarantee it.

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

If Liu Bei is really allowed to run out of 1,800 people, Cao Jun will never say that he has completely annihilated Liu Bei's troops, so it is absolutely conceivable how many people are around Liu Bei, and he can come back with a few people, which is somewhat of a fool's dream.

Seeing the look of his own soldiers, Sun Qian frowned, and he asked, "What's the matter, what are you thinking?" ”

"Back to the general, it's not very disgusting to go up to the mountain to be a bandit subordinate, but does the lord still have a chance to make a comeback?" The pro-soldier only said that the pro-soldier followed Sun Qian from Xuzhou with Sun Gan, and he had always been a pro-soldier by Sun Gan's side, so the relationship between the two people could naturally be said without anything.

Hearing the words of the pro-soldiers, Sun Gan's expression naturally changed, he glared at the pro-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 Qianqian for so long, Qian's first thing would have been to drag you out and cut you down." ”

Feeling the murderous aura in Sun Gan's words, the soldier shrank back, he knew that Sun Gan 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 firmly believe in this, you don't need to think about the rest." Sun Qian reprimanded.

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

At this time, Sun Gan began to feel a little worried, his own soldiers all thought like this, I am afraid that many Liu Jun soldiers also had such thoughts, after all, Liu Bei has not heard from him for so long, no one knows, whether he is still alive, even Sun Gan himself has no confidence.

However, he can't let this kind of thinking grow, otherwise, before he finds Liu Bei, his army is afraid that it will also disperse, he looked at the guards around 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, and I believe that the lord will be able to revive the action." ”

When it comes to the same, Sun Gan's expression is obviously a little unnatural, where is the difference, it can be said that there is a world of difference, Xuzhou was defeated, Liu Bei is at least about Yu Zhang Fei around him, and Liu Bei is at least a lot of warriors around him, but looking at the present, if there is no food and grass, I am afraid that my thousands of soldiers will disappear.

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

"General, my subordinates are wrong." The pro-soldier bowed his head and apologized,

Sun Qian patted the shoulder of his own soldier, and then said in a deep voice: "What is wrong with you, now is a special period, as long as we survive this period, we will be able to see the lord take off." ”

The pro-soldier nodded fiercely, although he didn't know if what Sun Gan said would come true, but at least it made him think in his heart, he was the elite army of the lord, and he couldn't insult the name of his own army.

Seeing that the eyes of his own soldiers lit up again, Sun Qian nodded slightly, at this time he swore in his heart that he must lead this army well, and he must make them stronger and stronger, so strong that it is difficult for the enemy to look at directly. (To be continued......)
