Chapter 404: Bad News! Still bad news!
"Newspaperβ" a scout horse galloped in, shouting in a hurried voice, dragging his tail note.
Liu Bei wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and looked up at the galloping Tanma. Now Liu Bei is no longer the Liu Bei when he first started, the current Liu Bei no longer wants to live the kind of life that he used to live in and live in exile, the current Liu Bei is already the king of Hanzhong, more than three years of stable life, has made Liu Bei no longer the original tenacity, after leading the army to march for two days and one night, Liu Bei is already physically and mentally exhausted, if he didn't know that the geographical location of Hanzhong is very important, it is the throat of Yizhou, kill him, he will not come so hard, In the consumption of wine, Liu Bei, who is the best at running away, is now even about to be unable to support it.
Wiping off the fine sweat on his forehead, the probe horse had already flown and came to Liu Bei's horse, the spy turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of Liu Bei, and reported the news he heard to Liu Bei: "King Yu, Jingxiang sent a battle report, General Guan's entire army was wiped out, and his whereabouts are unknown, and now most of Jingxiang has fallen into the hands of Sun Ce." β
"What did you say?" Liu Bei was immediately shocked by this news, and instantly forgot about the fatigue in his body, and shouted with wide eyes: "This king's second brother is brave and well-governed, how could he let Sun Ce take Jingzhou?" This can't be, this can't be! β
The spy lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Bei's expression, almost put his head on the ground, and said in a low voice: "King, this is true news, General Guan's eldest son Guan Ping has sent a request for help to the eldest son, and the second son Guan Xing is also on the way back to Chengdu, and will officially report this matter to the king in detail later." "The eldest son in the mouth of the spy is Liu Bei's righteous son Liu Feng, and now Liu Feng is guarding Ba County, which is the closest county in Yizhou to Jingzhou, so Guan Yu will let Guan Ping go to Ba County to ask Liu Feng for help. When Guan Ping arrived in Bajun, Guan Yu had already stepped on the fast boat to Yanjing.
When Liu Bei heard the spy say this, he knew in his heart that Jingzhou must have really fallen, and Liu Bei could even deduce that it must have been Guan Yu's arrogant personality that had attacked, which led to this fiasco, and with it, he lost Jingzhou in the south. This important strategic location was lost.
After taking a few heavy breaths, Liu Bei glared angrily to the east and shouted hysterically: "Sun Ce Xiaoer! You are taking advantage of the fire to rob, Lone and you are incompatible! Liu Bei is a person who is moody, and he rarely shows such crazy hysteria, which shows that he is not angry this time, otherwise he would never be so out of shape.
Fa Zheng, Zhang Song and the others saw that Liu Beiqi's face turned purple, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "King, the big war is coming." Don't be distracted by this, the land of Jingxiang will be recaptured in the future, and our biggest enemy at the moment is still Ao Lie! β
Under the persuasion of Fa Zheng and others. Liu Bei took a lot of effort to calm down his mind, and said with a gloomy face: "That's right, this battle." Lone must defeat Ao Lie! Liu Bei's words were not only said to everyone under his command, but also to himself. He has been suppressed by Ao Lie for too long, and in his heart, he is very eager to defeat Ao Lie once and justify his title of King of Hanzhong.
Liu Bei had just forced himself to adjust his mood to calm, and another probe horse galloped over, knelt down in front of Liu Bei's horse, and continued to report the worries and not the good news: "King Yu, Hanzhong has been lost this morning, the main general Huang Quan was captured, and the deputy generals Ling Bao and Lei Tong were killed by Zhang Liao and Tai Shici respectively, and the 80,000 troops in the city, Tai Ban died in battle. β
Hearing this news, Liu Bei could no longer remain calm, if Liu Bei was hysterical when he heard that Jing Xiang fell into the hands of Sun Ce just now, then now, he has completely fallen into madness, and roared like a peak: "Hanzhong lost? Lone has prepared so many military funds in the city, is it all decoration? Huang Quan: Are these three wastes all feces in their brains? Well dead! Damn it! What's the use of providing these three rice buckets to them?! β
This time, no one dared to come forward to persuade Liu Bei anymore, because Liu Bei was already crazy and incoherent, obviously overly angry, and he was already indiscriminate. And in the hearts of these civil and military officials, shock and loss, also like a tide, is a person knows the important role of Hanzhong in Yizhou, the loss of Hanzhong, is equivalent to the loss of the door of Yizhou, just imagine, who can be in the mood to persuade others after their own door panel is removed? At this time, the first thing that came to mind for many civil and military people in Yizhou was how to save their lives, rather than giving advice to Liu Bei.
After shouting for a while, Liu Bei's roar gradually became lower, but the hatred in his tone became more and more obvious: "Ao Lie! Good for you! Angry and lonely! If you can't break your body into thousands of pieces, you will not be a man! β
Today is destined to be the day when Liu Bei is unlucky to arrive home, and the bad news he has to endure has not ended. The third scout horse galloped from the direction of Hanzhong, and before he ran to Liu Bei's horse, he opened his throat and shouted in panic: "King, it's not good - Bai Yu's elite soldiers, the whole army has been wiped out, General Chen Zhi was captured by Lu Bu, the god of war of the tiger, and now his life and death are unknown......
This scout horse was just sent by Liu Bei last night, he after a night of wild galloping, just in time to catch up with the duel between the Long Xiang heavy cavalry and the white Yu elite soldiers, at that time he hid on a mountain a few miles away, witnessed the whole process of the Long Xiang heavy cavalry from the ambush to the sweep of the Bai Yu elite soldiers, when the Long Xiang heavy cavalry in the attitude of the winner, after the victory over the white Yu elite soldiers, this Tan Ma has been scared to the point of urine, he is just a horse pawn, how have you ever seen such a fight? Both sides are elite, although the process of confrontation did not last long, but the intensity is only seen in his life, what impressed him the most, or the killing intent of the dragon cavalry that rose to the sky, across the distance of several miles, he was so frightened that his legs trembled, he swore that he would never want to see the dragon cavalry in this life again, if he was allowed to confront the dragon cavalry, he would rather draw a knife and kill himself, so that he could die happily. Therefore, the scout horse has not recovered from the panic until now, and as soon as he saw his own army, he subconsciously shouted out what he saw in a tone full of horror.
White Soldier ...... Annihilated?! Liu Bei was stunned as if struck by lightning, Bai Yu's elite soldiers were his personal guards, he had taken an army around him since more than 20 years ago, when he raised troops in Zhuo County, after more than 20 years of baptism of blood and fire, this army gradually grew into the most elite troops under Liu Bei, and slowly grew to 7,000 people, these people were originally Liu Bei's killer weapon to compete for the world, but now, the whole army was wiped out! Even Chen Dao, who is outstanding in martial arts, good at training, and is relied on by Liu Bei as his right-hand man, is trapped in the enemy camp and his life and death are unknown, which makes Liu Bei really feel unacceptable, just like a farmer's family raised a cow with all their savings, and fed it carefully when he was a calf, until it grew into a majestic bull, but before the bull went to the field to farm, he suddenly fell ill and died, which is equivalent to cutting off the hope of this family to continue to live!
News! Still bad news! After the bad news, it's still bad news!
Liu Bei didn't shout or hysterize this time, his face was filled with endless sorrow and fell into a long silence. After a long time, Liu Bei suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, instantly wetting the clothes on his chest, and then dropped to the ground on the back of the little Lu's horse. The continuous bad news crushed Liu Bei, leaving this immortal hero full of anger and nowhere to vent, and finally fainted.
"King!" "King!"
When Fa Zheng and the others saw Liu Bei fall off the horse, they hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Liu Bei's side, helped Liu Bei up from the cold ground, pinched the person again, beat his chest again, and it took half a day of strength to revive Liu Bei, who had fainted.
Liu Bei slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were already full of tears, this time he was not acting, but really crying. However, he didn't cry for Guan Yu and Chen Zhi, who had followed him for many years and are now missing, nor for the change of ownership in Jingzhou, nor for the fall of Hanzhong, nor for the annihilation of the entire army of Bai Yu's elite soldiers, the reason for his tears was because he had a premonition that he had been forced into a desperate situation by Ao Lie, and he had just enjoyed a good life for more than three years, maybe he would never be able to enjoy it again. It is for the sake of losing the power that is admired by all people.
Seeing Liu Bei crying, Fa Zheng didn't think of Liu Bei's true thoughts in his heart, and thought that he was sad for the soldiers who died in battle, after all, Liu Bei's public image in front of people has always been virtuous and benevolent. Therefore, Fa Zheng opened his mouth to comfort: "The king doesn't have to be sad, those soldiers who died for the country are all good, and their blood will not be shed in vain." β
Liu Bei turned his head with difficulty, like a drowning man who had grabbed the last straw to save his life, and asked Xiang Fazheng in a choked voice: "Filial piety, lonely Shu Han, is there any salvation?" β
Fa Zheng knelt on his knees and said seriously: "King, our army still has hundreds of thousands of people, on the way to Chengdu, there are also natural dangers such as Sword Pavilion and Jiameng Pass, Ao Lie wants to invade Chengdu, it is not so easy, the king still needs to cheer up as soon as possible, and the ministers are willing to follow the king and swear to defend Yizhou!" β
Liu Bei put away his tears and said with emotion: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, you are all Lone's humerus ministers, if Lone can keep Yizhou this time, it depends on your strength, and Lone will definitely reward you heavily afterwards." β
Seeing that Liu Bei had begun to cheer up, a group of Yizhou civil and military officers knelt down beside Liu Bei and said loudly: "The ministers are willing to defend Yizhou with the king!" "For these Yizhou officials, they have been transferred from Liu Zhang's command to Liu Bei's command, and now it is absolutely impossible to surrender Ao Lie, after all, some things can no longer be done, in this era, people still attach great importance to honor.
However, no one noticed that among the kneeling people, there was a person whose gaze was quite wandering, as if in his heart, there was another plan. (To be continued......)
