"Big brother!" Zhang Fei just woke up, and before he had time to complain a few words, he saw this kind of scene, and he was angry, but this was his eldest brother, so he immediately got up and rushed over despite vertigo, and at the same time helped him to the couch where he was lying.

This vertigo and lethargy also came interestingly, and it happened to come in turns, one person after another.

Liu Bei fainted, and these civil and military personnel were busy inside and out until the second half of the night, and the medical officer came to check the pulse, gave him a push, and slowly woke up.

"Uncle Huang is in a hurry, I really can't be angry with him anymore, I need to raise it for a while before I can recover."

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Guan Yu clasped his fists and saluted, sent the medical officer out, dispersed the partial generals in the army, and those who had nothing to do with the visit, and ordered the rumors to assign the rest of the soldiers to take care of the garrisons in various places, and not to give Cao Ren the possibility of pursuing the victory.

When I returned to the house, there were only a few people in the house at the moment, and it was very quiet, and even Zhang Fei, who likes to be lively on weekdays, didn't talk much.

With a confused face, he knelt on the futon and sat in a daze, his face was still gray, and after he came back from the fire, he didn't even have time to wash his face and wipe it.

Sighing, Guan Yu walked to Liu Bei's couch, half-squatted and half-knelt at the head of the bed, and said softly: "Brother don't worry. ”

"Although he was defeated before, the plan was seen through, but from this time on, it is nothing more than a fierce battle to defend the city, and there will be no more strategies."

"We are all martial artists, good at leading troops to govern the army, only fate, if Cao Ren comes to attack, relying on the high walls of this city, it can be burned with jade, he wants to cross the new field, it is not easy, big brother although rest assured."

At this moment, these words are reassuring.

Liu Bei was really relieved after hearing this, the second brother has such a mind, which is rare in the world, he is not only a general of ten thousand enemies on the battlefield, but now although he is defeated, he still has such a fighting spirit, and he can even let his soldiers and horses live and die together.

With him, morale will not be so low that it is completely impossible to gather troops, "Thanks to you, Yun Chang." ”

Liu Bei's face was slightly pale, and he stretched out his hand and clasped it tightly with Guan Yu, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Alas...... I really didn't expect that it would be like this in the end, and who would have expected such an ending. ”

"In the battle of Bowangpo, more than 10,000 injuries were made, and my heart was unbearable......"

Liu Bei's eyes were red, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop trembling, he couldn't speak clearly, and his emotions seemed to be excited again.

"Big brother, don't get excited, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't worry too much, although you lose now, you should think about victory the day after tomorrow."

"Do not be bound to this, but be troubled."

"That's not the case, the defeat in the army, our army's heart is not disturbed, it's all your credit, how can I keep confined to this matter, it's just that I, Liu Xuande, am now poor and down, how can these dead sergeants care for their families, I am really ashamed of them......"

"When they joined the army, some of them were sent by their parents, and I also promised it, but now they are in such a situation."

"My lord, Sun and Mi still have family property, and if you take it out this time, you can take out one or two, don't worry."

"Gongyou......" Liu Bei glanced at Sun Qian from a distance, and his expression was quite moved.

"In addition, you can ask Liu Biao for help, if Cao Ren comes to attack, he will definitely have some funding."

"That's right," Guan Yu snorted coldly, "Hmph, this person has no faith and is not worthy of respect." ”

After saying that, he got up and shook his head, stood with his hands in his hands, and turned his back not to let Liu Bei see his expression.

Guan Yu, as the main general, sent people to Xiangyang to investigate the situation after that, and found that there was no grain and grass order at all, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses stationed in Xinye had gradually disappeared in the past two years.

Moreover, in addition to inquiring, I also got a sarcastic remark, saying that it would be good not to ask Xinye for grain and grass to hand in, and to ask for food every month, so I don't dare to be so arrogant when begging for food.

Hearing these words, Guan Yu's temperament was originally arrogant, so naturally he would not ask for it again, but now he heard the eldest brother say that he was looking for help in Xiangyang.

It's not good to express any opinions, for him, not attacking the various cities after Nanyang County at this time is already the greatest respect.

Otherwise, he would have led his troops to start fighting backwards, and within a few days, he would have been able to capture the city, take a lot of cities in hand, and collect land to recruit troops.

At least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be obtained, and training day and night may not be impossible to become elite.

"Yun Chang," Liu Bei called out, in a soft voice, wanting to appease Guan Yu's heart a little.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei replied first, and said with a thunderous roar: "Then Liu Biao, Cai Mao and others are all together, and they have never regarded us as their own people, why do you have to be like this, big brother?" Although there are many soldiers and generals in Jingzhou, it seems that most of them are straw bales. ”

"Instead of letting Cao Jun occupy the territory, it's better for us to do it ourselves, why entrust it to others!?"

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense."

Guan Yu scolded softly, didn't say much, and waited for Liu Bei to finish speaking.

"Second brother, third brother, now after the defeat, the army's heart is floating, the people and scholars in Jingzhou will soon be able to hear the war report and the military situation, and there will naturally be turmoil, if I wait for Liu Jingsheng at this time, it is useless, only by asking for help can I call his heart and help me, even if it is to send food and grass and military salaries, and then send troops to threaten stability, it is also excellent."

"Bowang has a fire, so that Cao Renjun occupies all the key roads, if you want to repel him, how easy is it? I can only hope that he will run out of food and grass, but now that the autumn harvest has just passed, he must have enough money and food in the army, how can he wait for it? ”

Liu Bei sighed in despair, and then said bitterly: "Otherwise, we can only hope that there will be chaos in the north of Cao Cao, but Xu Bowen's army is guarding the north, and the gods are mighty, and Wuhuan and Liaodong have been pacified." ”

"There will be no chaos, except for Liu Biao's help, I can't think of any way, maybe we really need a military advisor, a man who is well versed in the art of war, and knows how to arrange troops, that phoenix chick...... If only it were true. ”

"Still thinking about the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks?!"

Zhang Fei's eyes were about to fall out, and he stared at Liu Bei with helplessness and a little complaint, "Big brother, you're really crazy, right?" Don't you understand how badly that Xu Shu harmed? He is clearly Xu Zhen's internal spy. ”

"What kind of sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, isn't this all made up by Xu Zhen? That Sima Hui must be deceiving you as well. ”

"Ugh...... Don't think about looking for it, isn't it bad enough to be deceived? I found it and was deceived again! Then leak all our arrangements to Xu Zhen! Xu Zhen is sinister and cunning, big brother, you don't really think he's a good type, right?! ”

Zhang Fei's face was full of entanglement, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, he couldn't persuade the eldest brother's heart, he did recruit Xu Zhen at the beginning, and he also expressed kindness, but he didn't have any friendship.

Later, they were all their masters, and they all had calculations, and now they are thinking about how to get rid of him.

"I can't wait to decapitate him and stomp on him a few times!"

Liu Bei's cheeks puffed up, gritted his teeth and said, If you say that there may have been some memories before, now it is completely gone.

There was only endless hatred left, and he felt that Xu Zhen was specially sent by God to torture him.

Of course, the brothers of the Yuan family also think so.

"I also have to write a letter and inform Liu Jingsheng immediately......" Liu Bei sighed, "The words can be sharper, if we are not willing to save us sooner or later, naturally we can't die in Xinye in vain, we must explain this first, otherwise the people in the territory will still say that I Liu Bei does not think about kindness, but I don't know that there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 200,000 people are about to suffer from the disaster of pond fish." ”

"Not bad! That's exactly how it should be! ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei smiled a little at this time, otherwise, according to Liu Bei's temperament before, they would rather be let down by Liu Biao than be afraid of dying here.

However, his own death may be nothing, and he can ignore it, but what about these soldiers under his command? They also have relatives in Shinno Castle, do you want to take them with you to die?

Benevolence and righteousness naturally cannot only be for Liu Jingsheng and the scholars, but also for the common people.

"Big brother, in this way, we can calm people's hearts and let the people, the army and the people follow with peace of mind."

Guan Yu showed a respectful demeanor after a long absence, and bowed to Liu Bei, although he was still sad, but with this sentence, he understood that Liu Bei should have regained his composure and was no longer as groggy as before.

……

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Shinno is defeated......"

"Lord, Cao Ren burned half of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses with a fire, so that he could no longer fight, I think...... Cao Ren didn't lose much troops, he could already defeat Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, and the prestige of the Cao clan was well deserved, and the lord had to think twice. ”

"If you send troops to support Liu Bei at this moment, you may let Cao Ren withdraw from the army, but once you do this, you will definitely offend Cao Cao."

Cai Mao's face was full of anxiety, and he persuaded bitterly, his hands were spread quite hard, in his opinion, he must not fight with Cao Cao at this time, there are not enough soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, if the battle is defeated, all of them will not be good.

These words caused all the civil and military whispers in front of the bed, and even quite panicked, almost the six gods had no master.

"Yes, that's right, it's not that I'm worried about the shortage of food, grass, soldiers and horses now, but that supporting Liu Bei is equivalent to being an enemy of Cao Cao."

"Although Cao Cao fought against Jingzhou in his text, he never said that he would send troops."

"Lord, I got the information, Cao Cao's dispatch of troops this time is aimed at Liu Bei, in order to avenge Liu Bei's previous grudge, Liu Bei abandoned Cao Cao and went away, angering his heart."

"It's not good for us to get involved in such a grudge, why bother for a mere Liu Bei, let me and others suffer from the war?"

"Lord, and think twice, the letter sent by Liu Bei should no longer be replied to, and the neighbors should be too guarded, not to let him take advantage of the opportunity, this person is definitely not a good type, come to my Jingzhou must have a plan!"

"Think twice!"

"Please also think twice, don't be disturbed by Liu Bei and fight with the Cao family!"

"Cao's text, on the contrary, should respond, the tributary son of heaven to calm his heart, so return to the Han court, is the way to survive Jingzhou, so that the people will not suffer from war!"

Talking and talking and making countless remarks, Liu Biao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly coughed, and his originally pale face became ruddy, but this was not the ruddy color of blood, it was he who was so angry with these civil and military forces.

"You, you ......"

Liu Biao knew that it was difficult for the public to be angry, and the civil and military were all people elected by various families, and these people occupied the main roads of various counties and counties in Jingzhou.

They respect Liu Biao as the lord, but the grace of recommendation comes from the major families, and when the Cai and Kuai clans have the intention of being close to Cao, the rest of the families naturally choose to be silent.

And Liu Biao transferred his henchmen to Jiangxia for his son Liu Qi, but now he has no help in Xiangyang.

"Liu Xuande is the uncle of the Han Emperor, he said it himself, the Son of Heaven is just a cage in Xudu, and Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief!"

"If I also surrender to him, how can I go to my fathers and fathers, and how can you say such things? I, Liu Jingsheng, although I want to put Liu Bei in Xinye, for my Jingzhou to resist the enemy in the north, you agreed to it at the beginning! ”

"Why are you in such a situation today?! Over the years, what is Liu Xuande's reputation abroad, don't you have a scale in your hearts? ! He was truly devoted to the people! ”

Liu Biao was excited, and sat on the bed with a wave of dizziness, his face suddenly turned pale again, so that the surrounding civil and military forces immediately surrounded him.

"Don't worry, lord!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry to aggravate your condition!"

"Liu Xuande, hasn't he come to ask for help yet, or does he have his own way to solve it, resist the invasion of Cao Ren's soldiers and horses, and don't need our help?!"

"Really not, Liu Bei has already sent three letters, and a fourth letter came last night, asking us to send troops to support, otherwise Cao Ren will definitely attack Nanyang, and he is also in order to preserve, only to take a place for himself, you wait to hear this......"

A general in the army immediately said bitterly that the matter had been reported to Cai Mao, but he didn't seem to have informed Liu Biao yet.

Yes, after saying this, he was glared at fiercely by Cai Mao, of course, the general couldn't stand it, and deliberately said it at this moment, so that Liu Biao could order to uphold justice.

Otherwise, it won't be good for them to spread it in the future.

Perhaps others have to say that Jingzhou Wenwu treats outsiders like this, and he is also Uncle Liu Huang, whose reputation for benevolence and righteousness is full of north and south.

In the future, it seems that the reputation of everyone in Jingzhou is not good, and sooner or later there will be one more strong rival.

When Liu Biao heard this, he looked at Cai Mao in amazement, slapped the bed angrily and got up, pushed away his support, and immediately shouted: "Why didn't you tell me?!" ”

Cai Mao hurriedly bowed down with a bitter face, "Lord, don't tell you about this matter indiscriminately, the last general originally planned to report it slowly after your health improves, who knows now...... Liu Bei's defeat was so fast! ”

"He is really incompetent, if we send more soldiers and horses to support him, we will lose more troops in the future!"

"Presumptuous! To go or not to go, is it up to you to decide?! Cai Mao! I'm not dead yet, are you already the lord of Jingzhou?! ”

"No, it's not!"

Cai Mao's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and then knelt on the ground, bowing his head to the ground with a panicked face, Liu Biao has been gentle and humble all these years, and he has not been so angry for a long time.

Moreover, of course, his current residual power is still there, if he wants to kill Cai Mao, he will be in this hall, and there will be guards to do it immediately, and Cai Mao will not be able to resist at all.

angered the lord like this, how could Cai Mao not be afraid in her heart.

"It's not! You dare to say no, why don't you show me Liu Xuande's letter! Hand in all your letters now! ”

"Now that the enemy is present, Cao Ren will besiege Xinye at any time, if he is defeated and killed, I will bear the infamy of ignoring the same sect! Who of you can afford it! ”

Liu Biao shouted angrily, the hall was full of civil and military personnel who didn't dare to speak, and Cai Mao was even more sweaty, crawling on the ground and shivering.

Immediately sent someone to pick up Liu Bei's letter here, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart, so it seemed that he could no longer stop the lord.

Liu Bei should really be able to get military support, but if he is really an enemy of Cao Cao, once Jingzhou is breached in the future, how can they still have good merits?!

It's already good if you don't get killed, but how should you admonish at this time?!

Liu Bei is really lucky, and there are always nobles to help him......
