The person sitting was none other than Cao Cao.

Hearing this voice, he slowly raised his head, looked at Liu Bei, and suddenly said with a smile:

"Xuande, I never thought of it."

Seeing that Liu Bei was still wearing shackles, Cao Cao didn't care, and beckoned:

"Come on, open these shackles, since you have arrived in Chang'an, there is no need to be so restrained."

Liu Bei was dumbfounded, but he also understood in his heart.

He can't run at all now.

Even if he leaves this mansion, as long as Cao Cao has a wanted warrant, it won't take long to arrest him back.

As the shackles were untied, Liu Bei suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

The previous arrow wound has recovered.

He glanced at Cao Cao, and with the idea of having no scruples, he sat directly beside him, and said loudly:

"Cao Mengde, won't you kill me?"

Cao Cao looked at him, shook his head and said:

"Kill you? Why kill you, it seems that Xuande has a deep misunderstanding, if I kill you today, I am afraid that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will all avenge you with all their strength.

Now that Liu Qi is already strong, with the help of the heroes under your command, his strength will definitely reach a higher level. If you are left here, they will not dare to be presumptuous. ”

Although he has been reduced to a prisoner.

But Liu Bei broke the jar and broke it, not caring about Cao Cao's thoughts at all, he said with great certainty:

"Cao Cao, don't be delusional, the military advisor knows my heart very well, even if I am captured by you, he will only try to save me, but he will not take refuge in you, the army will definitely attack in the future."

"Haha!"

Cao Cao laughed presumptuously, he looked at Liu Bei and said:

"Xuande, it's really still you, you are in such a situation, but you are still not surprised. Now the happiest thing is to take you down, and there will be one less fierce opponent in the future.

After pacifying Xiliang, a certain can go south with all his strength and solve Liu Qi, and a certain will ask you to look at the day when you dominate the world, how exciting and generous it will be. ”

In terms of the relationship between the two, they are rivals and friends.

At least Cao Cao admired Liu Bei very much.

But they took a completely different path.

Now the two are secretly competing, no one is convinced, although Cao Cao knows very well that it is not so easy to solve Liu Qi, but in front of Liu Bei, he must not admit it.

Liu Bei said with disdain:

"Ridiculous, Cao *** is too arrogant! Liu Qixian's nephew is full of talents, you are a fool's dream. ”

Cao Cao didn't dwell on this, he saw Liu Bei, his goal had been achieved, and then he stood up and said:

"Previously, Xuande, you and Ma Teng joined forces to occupy Xiliang Hanzhong, which really scared a certain person, but now Hanzhong is calm, and Xiliang is also in the palm of his hand.

Now that more than 100,000 troops have arrived, a certain general will go to the front line, as for Xuande, you are waiting for the good news of a certain one! ”

No matter what Liu Bei said, Cao Cao turned around and left.

In order to wait for Liu Bei, he has been delayed for a few days, as the commander of the three armies, he can't always stay in Chang'an City, and now Ma Tengtun is already determined to fight.

Either way, Ma Teng is a fierce opponent.

Cao Cao never ignored him.

It was precisely because of the existence of Ma Teng that Cao Cao did not dare to go all out in the south before, and he was even more hesitant.

Only by solving Ma Teng can he have no worries.

This vital battle is about to begin.

Looking at Cao Cao's departing figure, Liu Bei fell into silence, not knowing what to say.

He is probably just a toy for Cao Cao when he is bored.

If he achieved merit, he would run to show off, and seeing his reaction was probably Cao Cao's greatest pleasure.

After being captured.

Liu Bei also thought about whether he wanted to cut himself off.

But in the end, it didn't happen.

There are many reasons, but in the final analysis, it is seven words, it is better to die than to live.

The situation in the world is undecided.

Although he has lost his freedom and cannot continue to dominate the world, as long as he lives, he may leave this place and take a look at the country's society of this great man.

If there really is that day, let Cao Cao usurp it

World.

Liu Bei was martyred and loyal.

He is not a prince, and there is no way to inherit the throne.

Or or.

One day, Liu Qi will lead troops to Chang'an, which is not unacceptable. Although he is unwilling to be subordinate, he is even more unwilling to see the Han family's world occupied by others, Liu Qi is a member of the Han family after all.

All thoughts drifted away, and Liu Bei let out a long sigh.

For a long time to come, he had to stay in this mansion, what a life is really impermanent!

The other side.

Wang Lei went north from Chengdu City, wanting to win over Xu Shu and them.

But before Wang Ti arrived.

After hearing the news, Xu Shu and his entourage led the troops to directly occupy Zitong, and then went south to capture Fuxian.

In a short period of time, it is already approaching Mianzhu.

This moment.

Wang Lei was already confused.

But he didn't dare to delay, judging from the actions of Xu Shu and others, there was only one possibility. They have already taken refuge in Liu Qi, so they will go directly south and attack all the way.

However, now, Yizhou is defenseless against Xu Shu and his party.

If Xu Shu is really allowed to fight all the way to Ruoxian County and cooperate with the Xiangyang Navy that came to kill, the Yizhou defense line will completely collapse.

So, Wang Lei hurriedly contacted Li Yan and Zhang Yi in Ruxian County.

Let the second general send people to garrison Mianzhu Pass.

After guarding Mianzhu Pass, Xu Shu and his entourage could not drive straight in.

At the same time, someone was sent to inform Liu Zhang.

It is necessary to mobilize troops and horses, otherwise the situation will be unpredictable.

The current Li Yan and Zhang Yi, of course, will not surrender directly, so it is unreasonable to be on face.

After hearing the news, he immediately sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to Mianzhu.

In the city of Chengdu.

Liu Zhang, who learned of this, instantly changed his expression.

This is an unfolding that he has not thought of.

In the end, it was not the menacing Jingzhou army that disrupted the Yizhou plan, but the remnants of Liu Bei who retreated in Hanzhong.

Among them, many of them are Yizhou soldiers.

Liu Zhang, who was in a panic, couldn't even shout "Xu Shu bullied me too much!" That is, to gather the people in a hurry.

After explaining the situation, Huang Quan also reacted:

"Lord, this matter is ill-conceived, most of Liu Bei's subordinates are from Jingzhou, if you want to take them for your own use, it is extremely difficult, and now they must have taken refuge in Liu Qi."

Liu Zhang's brows furrowed, and he shouted anxiously:

"Gongheng, what should I do now?"

Huang Quan is also distressed, Yizhou is already very uncomfortable facing Liu Qi now, and now Xu Shu is coming to join in the fun, it is really a headache, after thinking about it, he said:

"Lord, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu now, so Leng Bao and Deng Xian can lead troops to support. Although most of Liu Bei's subordinates were fierce generals, they suffered heavy defeats from Hanzhong and suffered many losses of soldiers and horses.

As long as people are sent to guard Mianzhu Pass and guard against Ruxian and other places, Chengdu will naturally sit back and relax. What the lord has to do now is to delay time, and in the long run, Jingzhou's supply will be unfavorable, and the only way to do so is to retreat.

If you force a battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win. ”

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "QS."

"It's all as Gong Heng said, immediately send Leng Bao and Deng Xian to lead 20,000 troops to Mianzhu Pass to stop the enemy!"

Someone took the order and left.
