Chapter 464: Liu Bei's suspicions
After Chen Zhi led the army to withdraw from the encirclement, he left quickly. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะะ. Half an hour later, a young general came to Chen Zhi's side and said, "General, Liu Xiu really didn't send troops to chase after him. We're really out now. โ
Chen Zhi sighed lightly: "But in this battle, we were completely defeated. โ
When the young general heard this, he was also helpless.
Suddenly, the young general said: "General Chen, although Liu Xiu is cunning, I have to say that Liu Xiu is still very trustworthy, and he really released us." Well, this time, it should be Liu Xiu who was impressed by the general's bearing. โ
Chen Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm a general of a defeated army, so what kind of bearing do I have?"
The young general said: "General, let's hurry up." This time he lost to Liu Xiu, although he let us leave, but Liu Xiu will definitely 'force' to approach Guangxin County, maybe, Liu Xiu will be killed soon. โ
"Hmm!"
Chen Zhi nodded, and led the army to continue the retreat.
Along the way, Chen Zhi's mood was quite low, and his mood was very complicated.
If you fight to the death with Liu Xiu, you will die if you die, and you won't be so embarrassed as you are now. Now that he is the general of the defeated army, he has almost lost Liu Bei's troops, how can he face Liu Bei after he goes back?
Thinking of returning to Guangxin County, Chen Zhi had mixed feelings in his heart.
Damn Liu Xiu!
Suddenly, Chen Zhi thought of a possibility.
Liu Xiu deliberately let him go back and deliberately let him face Liu Bei.
In the past, didn't this kind of situation also happen to Zhao Yun? Liu Xiu caused a rift between Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, and in the end, Zhao Yun had to submit to Liu Xiu in order to fulfill Liu Bei.
Now, is he also following in Zhao Yun's footsteps?
"No, never!"
Chen Zhi clenched the big gun in his hand, his eyes firm.
The team hurried quickly, and when they returned to Guangxin County, it was already dark.
On the castle tower, torches burned.
Chen Zhi led the army to the bottom of the Cheng Tower, he looked up at the city tower, and shouted: "I am Chen Dao, open the city 'gate' quickly." โ
On the tower of the city, the guard general saw Chen Dao, and saw that Chen Zhi was extremely embarrassed, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, so he was shocked instantly, and immediately thought of the battle situation on the front line.
Defeated!
This time it's lost again!
The guard ordered: "Open the 'gate' of the city!"
"Crunch, crunch!"
The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate opened, and Chen Zhi led more than 1,000 soldiers into the city.
The guard general had already descended from the city tower and looked at Chen Dao: "General Chen, how is the battle situation on the front line?"
"Defeated!"
Chen Zhi replied and said, "I was going to meet the lord and say goodbye!" He led the exhausted soldiers and continued to march into the city. And the guard guarding the city looked at Chen Zhi's departing back, with thoughtful eyes in his eyes.
Governor's Mansion!
After Chen settled the soldiers, he came directly to the mansion.
In the study, Chen Zhi knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the last general is incompetent, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army." Please punish the Lord. โ
Liu Bei's eyes flashed with anger, but he hid it well, and said, "Uncle Zhi will get up first." โ
"Thank you, my lord!"
Chen Zhi followed his words and sat down in the study.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, and said: "General Chen is leading the 'elite' under the command of the lord, and these soldiers are all brave and good soldiers. General Chen commanded the army to fight and was also a cautious man. How did you lose this battle?"
Liu Bei is also curious, how did he lose the army?
Chen Zhi explained: "Returning to the lord, the reason for the failure of this battle is that the last general is greedy for merit. When fighting against Liu Xiu, after the last general saved Shi Yi's army, he never sent troops again, and always adopted a defensive strategy to confront Liu Xiu. โ
"In the course of the confrontation, the last general discovered the good news that there was an epidemic in Liu Xiu's army. โ
At that time, the general thought to himself that he only needed to wait for the epidemic to worsen, and Liu Xiu would definitely be defeated. โ
But halfway through, Huang Hu, the general under Liu Xiu, came to fight, and while fighting, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. At that time, through the Yellow Tiger, the last general judged that the epidemic in Liu Xiu's army began to spread, and it became more serious. โ
"At that time, the number of people in Liu Xiujun's army who were carried out every day to throw away the sparks was also gradually increasing. โ
So, the last general was moved. โ
In order to determine Liu Xiu's situation, the last general took the initiative to fight. In this battle, Shamoko fought and was defeated by the last general. Then the last general provoked and asked Liu Xiu or Huang Hu to fight, but Huang Hu did not appear, and Liu Xiu 'shot' the arrow 'chaotic' and retired the last general. โ
Therefore, the last general concluded that the epidemic in Liu Xiujun's epidemic was real. โ
Chen Zhi's expression was solemn, and he continued: "At that time, the last general launched an attack, and when he attacked fiercely, he found that Liu Xiu's army's combat effectiveness had indeed weakened, so he was even more determined, so he launched a fierce attack. โ
The next day, Liu Xiu withdrew his army, and the last general led the army to chase after him, and the troops pursued him in three ways. โ
"It was this pursuit that was broken by Liu Xiu. After the defeat of the Three-Way Army, the soldiers led by the last general were finally surrounded. โ
Chen Zhishen was helpless, full of sorrow and sorrow.
This battle was lost too quickly.
After defending for a long time, in the end it was like a mountain of defeat.
Zhuge Liang thought about the whole process, and after a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "In my opinion, Liu Xiu's camp is indeed plagued. It's just that at that time, General Chen didn't find out. Wait for Liu Xiu to control the epidemic, and then let Huang Hu cheat you. The yellow tiger is an introduction, and after you pursue, you fall into a trap step by step. Liu Xiu's plan has always been one link after another. It is already good that General Chen was able to escape back. I think that at the beginning, General Guan did not escape at all. โ
Chen Zhi glanced at Liu Bei and said, "Actually, the last general didn't flee back. โ
Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Zhi replied: "At that time, Liu Xiu led tens of thousands of troops to surround us, and in that case, the last general would have no way to escape. In particular, Liu Xiu shook the morale of the only remaining soldiers under the command of the last general, making the morale of the army unstable. โ
"When the last general decided to fight to the death, he ordered the soldiers, those who were willing to surrender to stand up directly, and those who were unwilling to surrender fought to the death with me. โ
"In the end, more than a thousand soldiers fought to the death with me. โ
Chen Zhi said: "The last general has already decided to fight to the death, Liu Xiu actually released the last general at this time, and let the last general come back with the only remaining more than 1,000 soldiers." โ
Liu Bei's eyes were strange, and he glanced at Chen Zhi again.
Chen Zhi immediately understood Liu Bei's eyes and assured: "The last general is loyal to the lord, heaven and earth can be learned, and there is no second heart." โ
Liu Bei smiled: "I believe in you!"
Having said that, Liu Bei had doubts in his heart.
Zhuge Liang saw it in his eyes, he didn't doubt Chen Dao in his heart, but he just had a bad premonition. Liu Xiu will never do useless work when doing things, and Liu Xiu must have his purpose in doing this.
After thinking for a while, Zhuge Liang didn't 'feel' the clue, he changed his words and said, "Lord, there is no point in thinking about the previous things now. What we have to consider now is the question of how we can resist Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu defeated Chen Zhi's army, and he will definitely lead the army to kill him next. Once Liu Xiu's troops come to the city, we will be in danger. โ
Liu Bei nodded and said: "The military advisor is reasonable, but if you want to defend Guangxin County, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Because in Guangxin County, there are still scholars. When Shi Yi came back, although Shi Yi swore that he said, the official didn't believe him. โ
Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "The Shi family is indeed a problem, if the Shi family is not solved, then Guangxin County may change at any time." โ
Liu Bei said: "Does the military advisor have any clever plans?"
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "Lord, we can test the Shi family." Send someone to the Shijia to ask for someone, and if they are willing to come to the state governor's house, the Shijia can believe it. If the people from the Shi family don't come, hmph, then there must be a problem. โ
Liu Bei said: "If there is a problem with the Shi family, what should I do?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Kill!"
After a pause, Zhuge said: "I know that the lord is worried that killing the Shi family will consume strength, but we don't kill the Shi family. Once Liu Xiubing comes to the city, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even, once the Shi family has two hearts and kills the Shi family, it can also get rid of Liu Xiu's stable 'handover' of the state. So, a must give it a try. โ
Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it." โ
