Liu Bei stood in front of the military formation, he looked at the soldiers in the army, and his heart fluctuated.

In this battle, he lost!

However, he was not reconciled, and even if there was a glimmer of hope, he could not give up.

Therefore, Liu Bei adopted the strategy of breaking the wrist of a strong man.

Liu Bei suddenly put his hands together, bowed his head ninety degrees, and saluted all the soldiers. When he landed, Guan Yu's red cheeks immediately turned red.

Liu Bei was not only the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty, but also his eldest brother.

Seeing his eldest brother behaving like this, Guan Yu's heart was very painful.

The soldiers who were talking in the army had already quieted down. But when they saw this, they immediately became noisy.

The sound of discussion continued to sound again.

looked at Liu Bei one by one, with a puzzled look.

Why did Liu Bei do this?

Everyone, is puzzled.

After Liu Bei stood up, he stood up straight, and said loudly: "Soldiers, Nanyang County is in trouble, Xinye County is besieged, it is Liu Bei's incompetence that makes you suffer with me." ”

"Liu Xiu is extremely cunning, he directly won Nanyang County with a trick of 'drawing' salary from the bottom of the kettle. Next, Liu Xiu's target will definitely be this official, and he will definitely attack this official in a big way. So next, there will be a big war, and it will be even more tragic. ”

"All this, it was Liu Bei who dragged everyone down. ”

Liu Bei's eyes were sincere, and he looked even more guilty, and said loudly: "Liu Bei was designed by Liu Xiu, although this battle was defeated, Liu Bei couldn't admit defeat." Once Liu Bei admits defeat, there is no hope of reviving the Han Dynasty. Therefore, as long as Liu Bei still has a breath of air, he will definitely continue to fight. ”

However, Liu Bei didn't want everyone to suffer with Liu anymore. ”

"Therefore, the officer decided that whoever intended to leave the barracks would be given rations and left without hindrance. Those who are willing to stay and resist Liu Xiu together with Liu Bei are welcomed. ”

Liu Bei said loudly: "Liu Bei swears with his honor that everyone wants to leave, and this official will never stop him." Now I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, and after a quarter of an hour, if you want to leave, go to the left. Then, the official distributed the rations one by one. ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the army were even more surprised and talked about it.

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu sighed lightly in his heart, this is already the best way to deal with it.

The strong man broke his wrist to ensure that the next person to follow Liu Bei was 'elite', and he was really willing to follow Liu Bei, not to kill Liu Bei in turn as soon as he encountered a predicament. Otherwise, once it encounters difficulties, I am afraid that the army will mutiny.

At that time, it was Liu Bei who was most affected.

Instead of that, it's better to start choosing now.

One by one, the soldiers in the army discussed, and began to consider whether or not to leave.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Bei waved his hand and ordered, "Those who are leaving now, please go to the left." Please don't have scruples, because when you stand up now, you are responsible for yourself, your own family, and your own officials. Because in the next war, it will definitely be very difficult. ”

"Uncle Liu Huang, I have a 60-year-old mother and a child waiting to be fed. Moreover, I am the only son in the family, so I can no longer follow Uncle Liu Huang to fight, please forgive Uncle Liu. ”

"Uncle Liu Huang, my wife and children are waiting for me to come home, and the villain can't accompany you. ”

"Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous, I should have fought to the death with Uncle Liu Huang, but in the previous battle, I injured my 'legs' and feet, and now my 'legs' and feet are inconvenient, in order to avoid dragging Uncle Liu Huang down, I no longer need to follow urgently. ”

......

When the first soldier stepped forward, it immediately triggered a flurry of reactions.

One by one, the soldiers stood up one after another.

Every soldier had his own reasons, as if he had to quit, and he had to do so. The soldiers who stood up went from small to many, and soon accounted for half of the troops.

This scene made Guan Yu extremely angry.

It's disgusting that this group of soldiers should be so ungrateful.

Liu Bei looked at the soldiers who stood up one by one, and there was a trace of hideousness and pain in the depths of his eyes, but he still had a smile like a 'spring' wind on his face, and he was not affected in the slightest.

With the passage of time, the number of soldiers who left has already surpassed the number of those who remained.

This situation drove the soldiers who left.

After half an hour, the formation in the barracks no longer changed. The number of soldiers who left accounted for about sixty percent, and the number of soldiers left behind was only about forty percent.

At the beginning, after Liu Bei divided his troops, he commanded more than 15,000 soldiers, and only more than 8,000 were left after the loss. Of the 10,000 soldiers who went to Yicheng County, after continuous battles, only more than 6,000 remained.

The combined strength is around 15,000 people. Only forty percent of the troops remained, which meant that Liu Bei's side lost nearly 9,000 troops at once, leaving only 6,000 soldiers.

Such a loss is not insignificant.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, he looked at the soldiers standing still under his command, and asked again, "Is there anything else you want to change your mind?"

In the barracks, the military formation never changed again.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and ordered, "Guan Yu obeys the order!"

"The last general!"

Guan Yu was dressed in armor, stepped forward, and saluted with fists.

Liu Bei instructed: "You immediately prepare food, and prepare three days' rations for each soldier who is about to leave." Then, let them leave the barracks. ”

"Yes!"

Guan Yu received the order and immediately led the soldiers to the granary.

Liu Bei looked at the more than 6,000 soldiers who remained, bowed his hand again, and said loudly: "Thank you, brothers, thank you for your trust." Liu Bei thanked him here. ”

There can still be 6,000 soldiers, Liu Bei's heart is full of relief.

At least, there is such a 'elite' sharp.

In Liu Bei's barracks, groups of soldiers left, and this news was quickly detected by Jinyiwei's sentinels, and then spread to Deng Zhan's desk. Deng Zhan read the news and went directly to Wangzhou Mufu.

Den!

Deng Zhanyu reported: "Lord, Liu Bei learned the news of the fall of Nanyang County, and he actually let the soldiers in the army who were about to leave leave. It is speculated that more than half of the soldiers under Liu Bei's command left, leaving thousands of soldiers behind. ”

Liu Xiujian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei is so bold that he broke his wrist as a strong man." ”

Deng Zhan said: "My lord, although Liu Bei broke his wrist, he ensured that the soldiers under his command were loyal to him and ensured the combat effectiveness of this army. However, there are only a few thousand people. Now, once General Wenpin is ordered to go north, Liu Bei will definitely be defeated. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes also 'revealed' a look of approval.

Deng Zhan's suggestion is the plan he will carry out next.

After greatly weakening Liu Bei's strength, Liu Bei's forces in Xinye were trapped, and now his forces in Xiangyang have been weakened, which can be said to be in trouble at both ends.

Attacking Liu Bei now is naturally the best opportunity.

Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan, immediately send an order to Jiangling County, and let Wen Ping mobilize troops and go north to attack Liu Bei." At the same time, Huang Hu and Shamoke were invited. ”

"No!"

Deng Zhan got the order and turned around to convey the order.

Soon, Huang Hu and Shamoke came to the study.

Huang Hu and Shamoko knew that war was coming, and they were all smiling.

Liu Xiu looked at the four of them and said, "Given the current situation, Liu Bei is likely to withdraw to Xinye and join Zhuge Liang." At the same time, Zhuge Liang could not hold Xinye, and would also go south to Xiangyang, intending to join Liu Bei. Now, each of you will lead 3,000 soldiers and go to the border between Xiangyang and Nanyang County to station. ”

Among them, the Yellow Tiger was stationed on the front line of Wanshan to block Zhuge Liang's army moving south. ”

Shamoke led his army to garrison Liuzi Pass to prevent Liu Bei from escaping north. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he said: "Whether Liu Bei can be completely annihilated in this battle depends on whether he can be surrounded and intercepted in Xiangyang." Therefore, your defense is extremely important. ”

Huang Hu hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the last general will definitely not let Zhuge Liang take half a step south." ”

Shamoke also said: "My lord, if Liu Bei arrives at Liuzi Pass, the last general will definitely capture this thief alive, 'hand' Liu Bei into the hands of the lord, and let the lord fall." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, asked again, and let the two go down.
