Late autumn has arrived, and everything is bleak.

On the side of the street in Xuchang City, the fallen leaves in the sky are flying with the wind, and finally lonely falls on the ground, paved into a layer, it looks like there is a different taste, fortunately, this is the game world, no one needs to clean it specifically, after a while, the fallen leaves on the ground will be automatically brushed off, leaving only a thin layer, like a decoration left by the gods.

Contrary to the tranquility in the depths of the city, near the edge of the city walls, it was a completely different situation, where the battle had been fought for more than half a year, and inside the city, trebuchets kept throwing boulders outward, and outside the city, there were also boulders and fireballs that crossed the high walls and fell into the city, making a terrifying sound of roaring.

However, this situation obviously did not frighten anyone, and many people hurried past not far from the fall of the boulder, completely ignoring these horrific deadly boulders, and there was no nervousness or fear at all on the flat expressions on their faces. Not far from the battle area, there are still many people setting up stalls and doing business, providing food, drink, supplies, medicines, equipment parts, etc. to the strangers who are fighting, this scene looks extremely strange.

Counting from the city wall, walk 400 steps in the direction of the city, there are no buildings at all in this area, even if there were original, now they have been completely smashed or burned, in this area, there are only a lot of trebuchet positions, and half-buried hidden caves, if they are attacked by enemy fire, those Inhumans who operate trebuchets will hide in the hiding holes, and wait for the attack to pass before coming out to fight back.

When the battle is not fierce, these strangers will run to a nearby place to buy some snacks and snacks to relieve their cravings, and at the same time soothe and adjust the boring and nervous emotions.

In front of a food stall selling fried stinky tofu, a few players are gathering for this bite.

"Oh delicious! I never get tired of eating this thing1

"It would be better if there was chili sauce1

"Hehe, that thing is said to be from South America, right? When will our Han's ship get there? ”

"Who knows, it's only now in the vicinity of Malacca, and it hasn't crossed the Java Islands to the south, South America? It's still far away to say 1

"Hehe, be content, brother, outside, this thing is scared when you eat it, I don't know if it's soaked in fecal water, at least you can eat it here, and you're not afraid of eating bad stomach1

"Well, don't say it's okay, I'm eating1

"Huh"

"Speaking of which, how long do you think this Xuchang can fight, and who will win in the end?"

"There are different opinions on the forum, to be honest, Cao Cao's advantage on the battlefield of Xuchang has become more and more obvious, I agree with a point of view, that is, Xuchang will not be breached, but may be actively abandoned."

"Are you saying that if Dingling is lost, Cao Cao will then besiege Yingyang and Yangzhai, completely cut off Xuchang's back route, and force Liu Bei to retreat without a fight?"

"Well, this possibility is quite big, although Ji Ling suffered a small loss from Guan Yu in Dingling, but there was no big loss, the number of infantry in the Ji Ling Legion is the largest, as many as 120,000 people, including 30,000 heavy infantry, and now with Xu Chu's cavalry escort, it should only be a matter of time before the small Dingling is captured. No matter how powerful Guan Yu is, he is not three-headed and six-armed, and he can't break a few petals of himself to use, besides, has Guan Yu been unfavorable recently? It is not surprising that Dingling was lost again and again in this state1

"It's not about luck! Besides, isn't there still Pang Yuan in Dingling! But the gap in strength is indeed difficult to smooth out with combat power and intelligence, and I also agree that Dingling will not last long, if Dingling changes hands, Yingyang will almost definitely become the next target, so it is not impossible for Liu Bei to give up Xuchang to 1

"Hehe, you may have overlooked one thing, that is, Zhang Liang raided Shiquan and marched towards Hanzhong1

"Huh? Does this have anything to do with the Battle of Xuchang? ”

"Originally, I thought that this matter had nothing to do with the Battle of Xuchang, but if I think about it carefully, Zhang Liang was originally in Bears Ears Mountain to contain Sima Fang of Sanfu and Hongnong, and now that Zhang Liang is advancing westward, who will contain Sima Fang? Is it just Huang Zhong of Ju Yanhai? I don't think it's likely. Therefore, Liu Bei was worried that Sima Fang might be moved into the game by Cao Cao, and it was very possible to give up the head-on stumble between Xuchang and Cao Cao, and choose to preserve his strength. ”

"This can only be a possibility, in fact, Si Li has been surrounded by a group of heroes, if Liu Bei is worried, he shouldn't fight Cao Cao at all."

"It's not that he wants to fight with Cao Cao, but he has to fight, Liu Bei doesn't take the initiative to attack Jiyin, and after Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shao, he will also turn around and slam Liu Bei with the power of victory, and the situation will be even worse at that time. These are already facts that cannot be changed, and it is not interesting to talk about them, so let's talk about the current situation. ”

"That's right, what I said just now is only one aspect, and it's just one possibility, so when you add another possibility, Liu Bei's choice can basically be guessed 1

"Oh? What did you find? ”

"Liu Yan is increasing troops in the direction of Badong and Fuling, have you thought about this representative?"

"Does this Liu Yan want to go out of Jingzhou? No, how can Liu Yan have such courage, it should be to guard against Liu Bei1

"Hehe, that's right, Liu Yan may be to guard against Liu Bei, but what if it's not? Who can guarantee that Liu Yan will not have the idea of leaving Jingzhou? Also, even if Liu Yan was planning to defend at the beginning, but found that Liu Bei's side was empty, do you think he would choose to take the initiative to defend? ”

Everyone stopped the movements in their mouths, looked at each other, and suddenly felt that this possibility was quite large, Si Li was a new territory for Liu Bei, and Jingzhou was Liu Bei's lair, Si Li would not do anything if he lost Liu Bei, but Jingzhou was lost, and Liu Bei would become a lost dog, so once someone started the idea of Jingzhou, Liu Bei might immediately go crazy, even if it was just a possibility, Liu Bei would also think twice and carefully.

Combined with the problem of Sima Fang mentioned earlier, as well as Yuan Shao, who has been increasing his efforts in Chen Liu, Liu Bei is likely to choose to return to Jingzhou.

When the players were talking about it, Liu Bei, who was in Yingyin, was really having a headache about this problem.

Liu Bei has been in a bad mood recently, everyone can see this, Yuan Shao will climb high and look far away if he is in a bad mood, Cao Cao will hide in the house and engage in women if he is in a bad mood, and Liu Bei is in a bad mood and likes to gather the ministers to discuss.

Liu Bei, who had a bitter and hateful face, made everyone's mood a little heavy, although Liu Bei also knew that he was not in a good mood like this, but he really had no way to hide his feelings.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that Liu Yan's purpose of increasing troops in Badong and Fuling is just to prevent our army from cooperating with Zhang Liang to plot Yizhou, and there is no intention of advancing eastward, and with Liu Yan's military strength, he does not have the ability to advance eastward."

Liu Bei also knows Sun Gan's words, but knowing it doesn't mean that he will feel at ease, the northern part of Jingzhou is Liu Bei's forbidden body, and no one else will be allowed to touch it, whoever looks at it from the side, Liu Bei will jump up and wave his fist to drive it away!

Therefore, Sun Gan's words did not convince Liu Bei, he just nodded noncommittally, and the sad expression on his face did not change.

Chen Zhen frowned slightly and said: "What Gongyou said is reasonable, but it cannot completely rule out the possibility of Liu Yan's eastward advancement, Liu Yan's ambition may not be as small as he shows, his subordinates have heard rumors that the reason why Liu Yan did not go to Jiaozhou to be a state pastor back then, but chose Yizhou is because a warlock said that Yizhou has dragon qi and is a blessed land, so he chose Yizhou instead." Some time ago, there was also a rumor in Chengdu that Liu Yan wanted to stand on his own, which may not have been deliberately released by Liu Yan to test everyone's reaction. ”

"This just shows that Liu Yan is ambitious, and it has nothing to do with the current situation.1 Sun Qian retorted a little reluctantly.

"No, it's just related, if Liu Yan has this ambition, then it is not impossible to go east to seize Jingzhou, and then fight for the Central Plains, especially the danger of the mountains and rivers of Lizhou, the fertility of the land in Shuzhong, take Jingzhou as a barrier in Yizhou, and at the same time it is also a bridge to the Central Plains, what's wrong with this?"

"This"

Sun Qian was a little speechless, and Liu Bei's face became even darker.

"Filial piety, even if my cousin has this ambition, he can't succeed if he doesn't have enough military strength.1

"Lord, it is difficult for people to follow reason all the time, otherwise people will not make mistakes! Secondly, Jiangling and the western part of Shangyong are both mountainous areas, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Liu Yan does not plan to make a big move, he can gradually encroach on it1

"It's still possible! This matter is not trivial, and now the combat strength of our army is in Yingchuan Division, even if there are police in Shangyong and Jiangling, it is difficult for our army to respond in time. ”

Liu Bei's words have already shown that his heart is shaken, and it is no wonder, after all, Liu Bei's military strength deployed in Shangyong and Jiangling is really empty, Liu Yan doesn't need many people, there are tens of thousands of troops, he can sweep Jiangling and the west of Shangyong, and if he wants to fight back, the effort is not ordinary.

What's more, once Liu Yan makes a move, will the Inhumans in the south also take the opportunity to expand north? What if Cao Cao took the opportunity to do it from Jiangxia and Geyang? The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more frightened he became, his black face turned a little blue, and a layer of sweat couldn't help but ooze from his forehead.

Chen Zhen didn't seem to see Liu Bei's face getting worse and worse, since he opened his mouth, he had to finish the words in his heart, even if it was an axe and a neck.

"My lord, Zhang Liang's westward advance will bring another consequence, that is, Huaxiong will be liberated, and now our army is also quite weak in the direction of Hangu, isn't this a good time?"

Chen Zhen's final blow seemed to completely shatter Liu Bei's confidence, and Liu Bei hesitated: "This, it seems that it is indeed possible!" Moreover, seeing that Dingling was also difficult to hold, if he did not take advantage of this opportunity to withdraw his troops to Jingzhou, once the incident started, it would be impossible to control it1

"My lord! It's best to discuss this matter with Ziyu and Fuqing.1 Sun Qian is still making the last effort, once Liu Bei decides, the battle of Yingchuan will be defeated undefeated, and Si Li will not be good! rS＃
