Chapter 271: Heart Death
However, Du Chen was not in a hurry, after all, Cai Yan did not say that Zhang Fei had died and had Hua Tuo to take care of him, which proved that Zhang Fei still had a glimmer of life, and what was Zhang Fei's specific situation, it seemed that he still needed to ask Hua Tuo in person.
Ignoring Zhang Fei's matter, Du Chen comforted his wife with peace of mind, so that Du Chen persuaded Cai Yan to retire, which made Du Chen feel that after a few words, his body would be consumed unconsciously.
At this time, Du Chen reluctantly realized that facing a woman was such a painful thing, compared with facing Cai Yan's questioning and sadness, Du Chen preferred to play on the battlefield, because the game on the battlefield was much easier than facing a woman.
When Du Chen sighed on the bed, Liu Bei was in dire straits, and now he was considered to have no strength at all, looking at a few soldiers around him, Liu Bei's depression in his heart can be imagined.
At this time, Liu Bei had already learned that Cao Cao had easily taken Huainan, in addition to Cao Cao, Sun Ce also went to take advantage of the fire to rob, and Huainan was devastated after being robbed by Sun Ce, even if Cao Cao did not take Huainan, he was absolutely injured.
In addition to the territory being breached, his own battalion was also submerged in the front of the Cao army, and all the actions of the Cao army proved that his actions were under the control of the Cao army, whether it was his own sneak attack plan or his own empty camp.
He planned so thoroughly, but he was still understood so clearly by Cao Jun, if it wasn't for the fact that there was a mole around him, it would be really difficult to explain how things happened.
I didn't expect Du Chen to be so powerful, he could be regarded as a last resort. Liu Bei would think in his heart from time to time, and he admitted that Du Chen was indeed very wise, but only this time there was a confrontation. let himself suffer such a big loss.
He had been very careful to deal with Du Chen, but things were beyond his expectations, and it was obvious that Liu Bei did not expect that he would be defeated so completely.
For Xu Shu, Liu Bei did not have doubts in his heart, but it didn't take long for Liu Bei to dispel the doubts in his heart. Because if Xu Shu was really a traitor, he could have led Cao Junsheng to capture himself.
Now that he has no use value, the two sworn brothers have disappeared, there are two possibilities, one is that the two have been captured by Cao Jun, and the other is that the two of them have suffered an accident.
No matter what the possibility is, this is undoubtedly bad news for Liu Bei, there are so few generals around him, he is all counting on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to fight for him. For Liu Bei, the two righteous brothers are his sharp minions, and he relies on the two of them to hurt others.
Losing the two of them, he is a tiger who has lost his teeth and claws, he no longer has any strength, Xu Shu has absolutely no reason to continue to follow him, if he is really a traitor, he would have betrayed himself a long time ago. Why suffer with yourself.
During this period of time, Liu Bei's life can be described as an inhuman life. Now several of them are in Cao Jun's territory, and Cao Cao also issued a list to arrest him, so his form is very dangerous.
Now Liu Bei and the others can only go out day and night, and they don't dare to approach the official road, and they don't dare to enter the city. Except for Xu Shu, who could enter the city in disguise, Liu Bei and the others could only wait outside the city.
Moreover, there is another problem that cannot be ignored, that is, there is no longer a coil on his body, that is. Now Uncle Liu Huang has run out of food, and they don't have anything to buy food.
It's no wonder that Liu Bei came out to fight instead of fleeing, how could he come out to fight with a lot of money, not to mention, he was in order to raid Cao's army, so he naturally traveled lightly, how could he bring a lot of things.
Now he only has a double-strand sword on his body, and the rest of his belongings can be sold and sold, and he can be exchanged for it, in addition to the weapons in his hand, Liu Bei can be described as a poor jingle, and now he is at the end of his rope, Liu Bei really doesn't know what to do.
In addition to the end of the road, Liu Bei didn't know how to describe his situation, he was very desperate now, thinking that his life had come to an end, Liu Bei had not failed, but this time, he had no chance to turn over.
In the past, if he failed, at least Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were by his side, and there were at least a few hundred soldiers who could make him turn the book, but now, looking at the few soldiers around him, Liu Bei really felt that he didn't know what to do.
Liu Bei's lost eyes naturally did not escape Xu Shu's eyes, he knew that the defeat in this battle was a huge blow to Liu Bei, and thinking of this, Xu Shu blamed himself even more, the defeat in this battle was all because he offered advice to the lord Liu Bei, if it was not for himself, how could the lord Liu Bei fail so completely.
These days, Xu Shu has also been constantly reflecting, at this time Xu Shu realized that the defeat in this battle was indeed because he was not thoughtful, and he thought too simply, he really underestimated Du Chen and Cao Jun.
In the first few battles with Cao Jun, he did taste some sweetness, but it was all because of surprise, which would defeat Cao Jun, if you talk about strength and ability, Xun Yu is definitely much stronger than Xu Shu, and Cao Jun's failure is careless.
After tasting the sweetness of the battle, Xu Shu was somewhat fluttering, because Cao Jun was invincible to others, and he was able to defeat the powerful Cao Jun in his first battle, which made Xu Shu, who had just debuted, somewhat complacent, and it was precisely because of this self-satisfaction that the final result was indeed a fiasco.
After the battle, Xu Shu realized his own shortcomings more and more, whether it was experience or strength, Xu Shu was much worse than Du Chen, and the things he learned were compared with Du Chen, which was simply a world of difference, so these days Xu Shu was also thinking about what he should do, he knew that Du Chen had learned from Cai Xijiu and Wang Situ for a long time, so did he also go to learn art.
After this idea grew in Xu Shu's mind, it was difficult to rule it out, but God knows how long it will take him to learn from his teacher Sima Hui, if this is the case, then he will inevitably leave his lord Liu Bei for a while.
Now Liu Bei is at the end of his rope, and at this time he is even more depressed and unhappy, Liu Bei values himself very much, Xu Shu knows this very well, if he chooses to leave the lord Liu Bei at this time, then on the surface, he will stab the lord Liu Bei in the chest.
Liu Bei's chest is already full of sharp knives, if he stabs this knife again, God knows if he will kill Liu Bei, but if you think about it, you can know that at such an important moment, your own knife will definitely make Liu Bei collapse from now on.
Xu Shu is very optimistic about Liu Bei, otherwise he would not take the initiative to show up to help Liu Bei, his various good deeds in Huainan, Xu Shu clearly saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, for Xu Shu, such a person is definitely worthy of the name of the benevolent lord.
Such a person will definitely have achievements, but if this battle makes Liu Bei depressed, then Liu Bei's next voice is absolutely inactive, at this time it is a hurdle for Liu Bei, if Liu Bei crosses this hurdle, his future achievements are absolutely limitless, but if Liu Bei is depressed since then, then his next life will be absolutely useless, and such a lord will not follow.
With a decision in his heart, Xu Shu appeared in front of Liu Bei, this is definitely a trial for Liu Bei, I hope he can survive the past, otherwise, a generation of benevolent lords may disappear like this.
Regarding Xu Shu's appearance, Liu Bei faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and seeing Xu Shu's expression was very solemn, it meant that he must have something to tell himself, and now that he is at the end of his rope, what can he say to himself.
Xu Shu is a talent, what he lacks is experience, what he lacks is experience, of course, Xu Shu became a monk halfway, before the text, he was a generation of chivalrous, so fundamentally, Xu Shu is worse than the orthodox strategist.
But Xu Shu is smart and persevering, as long as he is given time, Xu Shu will definitely be able to grow to an unimaginable level, so for such a talent, how could Liu Bei let him go,
But now, he has nothing left, whether it is land or family background, he has nothing, and with his current situation, Liu Bei naturally knows that he can't keep Xu Shu.
He was worried about this matter, but looking at the current situation, this matter is really going to happen, Liu Bei doesn't know how to solve it, for him, he definitely doesn't want Xu Shu to leave, but now he still has the ability to keep Xu Shu, Liu Bei asked secretly in his heart,
"Lord, this failure is all because of the great joy of the Shu, a little victory and complacent, the Shu clearly realized his shortcomings, so I want to resign from the lord, continue to study, and one day when the maturity comes, and then do my best under the lord." Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei, and then spoke.
Although Xu Shu said very sincerely, but for Liu Bei, it was very bitter to listen to, in Liu Bei's opinion, these are just Xu Shu's words, he is using these to cover up his true intentions, to be honest, he really can't keep Xu Shu in this situation.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei's face, which was already a lot darker, became even more gray, and this was not what Xu Shu wanted to see, he looked at Liu Bei, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Shu knows that the lord is reluctant, but he has made up his mind, and I hope that the lord can fulfill it." ”
Xu Shu's words were all said on this, Liu Bei shook his head secretly, since Xu Shu wants to seek higher development, he continues to block it, I am afraid that it will make Xu Shu feel cold, now his own situation, he can leave alone, the reason why Xu Shu came to think about his own trip, it can be seen that he still has his own lord in his heart.
"Yuan Zhi wants to leave, and it is useful to block it, since Yuan Zhi has made up his mind, then I wish Yuan Zhi you success in your studies." Liu Bei said incorrectly, at this time, he felt that his heart was dead. (To be continued......)
