One didn't hold back, a mouthful of old blood was sprayed out directly, holding the city wall with one hand, Liu Bei roared angrily in a low voice.

"An army of 100,000! Where the hell did the 100,000 army come from! ”

Then he directly pulled out the sword at his waist, and pointed at the casual Wenchen military generals and shouted angrily.

"Whose army is this! Why the enemy has reached the city walls, I know! Where are the defenders along the way? Why not stop! ”

Looking at the oppressive enemy army below, even if it was Guan Yu, his heart sank to the bottom at this moment.

"Big brother, according to my opinion, the soldiers and soldiers at the bottom should be the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou Hao clan, and according to the report of the spies, the Jingzhou Hao clan has not encountered a trace of resistance along the way, and those defenders may have already rebelled."

Hearing what Guan Yu said, Liu Bei suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and after staggering back two steps, his heart was also full of endless resentment.

"Why is that? Who did they believe in the rumors that they dared to rebel! Don't they know that Jingzhou Mu is in the city at the moment! Who is spreading the rumors? ”

Taking a deep breath, looking at the banners of the wealthy families below, being able to see so many wealthy families in Jingzhou gathered in a short period of time, and people with such a strong reputation, Liu Bei thought of someone in his heart at that time.

It was the hermit Pang Degong whom he had visited countless times and wanted him to assist him, but he had been unwilling!

He is the only one who can have such fame in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's heart was filled with endless anger.

I wanted to respect him so much back then, and I wanted to let him assist him, but he was directly rejected by this person, but until now, he has never treated him badly.

But he never thought that this old horseman would organize the Jingzhou Hao clan to pull himself off the horse? At this moment, Liu Bei's heart was filled with deep anger.

He couldn't wait to take his sword now, come to Pang Degong and ask him why he did this, and then slash him to death with a sword.

Seeing that the eldest brother was so sad, Zhang Fei suddenly became unhappy, and he asked Liu Bei to carry the Zhangba snake spear:

"Big brother, don't worry! These thieves are just a rabble, wait for the eldest brother to give me a team of men, watch me rush to kill, and kill them in a moment! ”

Seeing that Zhang Fei wanted to pick up the people and horses to rush down after speaking, Ma Liang directly blocked in front of Zhang Fei and hurriedly dissuaded him:

"General, no!"

In this matter, Xu Shu in Xiangyang City is not in him, Ma Liang is the one who makes suggestions on behalf of Xu Shu, and he is also the calmest person in Xiangyang City.

Seeing Zhang Fei stop, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said to Liu Bei;

"Lord, there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops under this Xiangyang City now, and my Xiangyang City only has 30,000 defenders at this time, and our army will not have a slight advantage if we want to fight hard."

"At present, our army can only stick to Xiangyang City, waiting for reinforcements to arrive as the best policy, with the danger of Xiangyang City to consolidate this enemy army to capture Xiangyang City is not an easy thing, our army can stick to Xiangyang City, when it is holding Xiangyang City, issue orders to the rest of the places, order them to gather troops to rescue Xiangyang City."

After listening to what Ma Liang said, Liu Bei also reacted, Liu Bei has been fighting for many years, and he still has the thoughts and vigilance he should have, but just because he was angry, he lost his mind for a while.

Now that he is sober again, he also understands the stakes, and the most important thing is that Liu Bei thinks that the soldiers under this city are also his soldiers in Jingzhou, but they oppose him because of the demagogy of those rebels.

In the end, these soldiers still have to return to his hands, and he still needs them to work hard for themselves to defend this Jingzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei didn't have time to explain what he did, so he left the city wall and went straight to Liu Qi's bedroom.

After dispersing the subordinates who took care of Liu Qi, Liu Bei held Liu Qi's hand and wrote a letter from Liu Qi.

Then he took it to the top of the tower and handed it to the soldiers who defended it.

The general content of this handwritten letter is to tell the soldiers under the city wall that the wealthy families they are following now are all traitors, and they have all become rebels.

But he Liu Bei was merciful, as long as the soldiers under the city wall put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender, they could not be blamed for the past.

The whole handbook was extremely full of justice, but the powerful armies from all walks of life had made preparations well before they came, and they all read the anti-thief text written by Pang Degong to the soldiers.

Therefore, when they heard what Liu Bei said at this moment, the soldiers present felt ridiculous.

After Liu Bei's soldiers finished reading the handwriting, Kuai Liang rode slowly to the city wall.

"Big-eared thief! You claim to be benevolent on the surface, but in fact you are a sinister and cunning person, and now Jingzhou Mu has long been killed by you, what face do you have to do things in the name of Jingzhou Mu? ”

Looking at Liu Bei on the city wall, Kuai Liang's eyes were full of deep disdain.

"Liu Bei! After you became the king of Zhongshan Jing, you should have been a treacherous and wicked person who was disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust! What is the face of the ancestors under the nine springs! If there is still a trace of conscience, then we should tie our hands and mouth with jasper to open the city and surrender, if not, when our volunteers invade Xiangyang, you will be dead without a place to be buried! ”

When the words fell, Kuai Liang directly turned his head and ran.

And Liu Bei listened to Kuai Liang's reading of the text drafted by Pang Degong to suppress thieves, and a fire of anger suddenly rose in his heart, a pain in his chest, and a mouthful of old blood gushed out directly.

But although he was very angry, he didn't have any way to refute it, after all, what Kuai Liang said was true, which made him unable to say anything back.

Panting heavily, Liu Bei's eyes were filled with endless angry flames.

Seeing Kuai Liang leaving, he directly pulled out the sword on his waist, and as he spoke, he wanted to rush down and kill him on the spot.

"Big brother is not necessary, there is no need for big brother, there is no need!"

Seeing that Liu Bei was so angry, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly pulled him from left to right, for fear that he would do something stupid on impulse.

As soon as Liu Bei was pacified, Guan Yu directly picked up the bow and arrow beside him, and the bow and arrow were sharp, and the arrow flew towards Kuai Liang in an instant.

At this moment, Kuai Liang, who was about to arrive at the camp, suddenly heard a sound of breaking the sky, and when he looked back, he saw sharp arrows flying towards him.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang hurriedly bowed his head, and then the flying arrow directly grazed Kuai Liang's scalp and plunged straight into the pillar in front of him.

Looking at the flying arrows tightly inserted on the pillar, Kuai Liang instantly broke into a cold sweat, knowing that he was now far away from the range of the bow and arrow.

But this guy can still have such terrifying strength, this Liu Bei's generals are really fierce people.

Although the number of rebels united by this wealthy clan far exceeds the number of troops under Liu Bei, the biggest problem now is that

Liu Bei's subordinates have Zhang Fei, two first-class generals in the world, but there is no one who can handle it on the side of the righteous army.

Moreover, today's Xiangyang City has already been built by Liu Bei as solid as an iron bucket, if they attack them, even if they come with another 100,000 people, they will not be able to capture this city.

So from the very beginning, the entire rebel army has determined the strategic goal of encircling but not fighting, although this Xiangyang City is large, but its grain and grass reserves are limited after all, and when they have no food to eat,

At that time, no matter how brave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were, they would eventually lose to their 100,000 army.

And at the same time,

The Cai brothers also spread rumors in the city, telling the people that Liu Bei was bound to fail, and hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city would soon be able to attack Xiangyang City.

All of a sudden, rumors spread throughout Xiangyang City, and countless people also lost the will to resist and did not want to die for Liu Bei.

And in the continuous exploration, the Cai family's family also figured out the location of the granary in Xiangyang City, as well as the time of the daily change of guard life.

After doing all this, the Cai brothers quietly waited for the time to come.

On the other side of the moment, seeing Liu Bei, who was not in a very good situation, his mind couldn't help but become active, and at this moment he wanted to wander again.

In the chaotic times of the entire late Han Dynasty, if Liu Bei was a rookie in the war, then he Liu Bei had nothing to say, but if you said that he Liu Bei couldn't run away, then he would have to fight with you.

You must know that when it comes to running away, he Liu Bei said second, and no one dared to say first in the entire late Han Dynasty, after all, he is the descendant of Gaozu, and there are still Gaozu's genes flowing in his body.

Seeing that Liu Bei wanted to run away again, Guan Yu frowned slightly and admonished him:

"Big brother, don't worry, now this Xiangyang City is as solid as a rock, and our training soldiers are all elite soldiers of the first rank in the world, and there is enough food and grass in the city, so we can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city, if the war is not good, the eldest brother can mobilize the people to defend the city."

"As long as we can hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements from the four counties of Jingnan, when the time comes, we will be able to turn the rebels into powder in an instant, not to mention that there are still 20,000 recruits under Xu Yuanzhi, and the situation is far from being as bad as the eldest brother imagined."

In fact, after figuring out that the army under this city was actually composed of the families of the wealthy clan and some miscellaneous people, Guan Yu felt that the 100,000 people under the city wall were all people who sold their heads, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Although he knew that there was a lot of truth in what Guan Yu said, Liu Bei's eyes were still full of deep anxiety.

"What the second brother said is correct, but now we don't know whether the rest of the counties have fallen, whether there are reinforcements for us to use, if there are only 30,000 defenders of Xiangyang City, what should the second brother do?"

Although he knew that Liu Bei's worries were right, Guan Yu at this moment still said extremely arrogantly:

"It doesn't matter, the Kuai brothers and Zhang Yun's disciples are all a group of incompetent people, and their troops are just a group of grass robbers, if the rest of the counties really have no reinforcements, my third brother and I can also escort the eldest brother to Jingnan, and then the eldest brother can bring the old troops to lead the Jingnan army back to Xiangyang!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei also nodded lightly, although it has reached this point now, as long as there is a way out, everything is fine.

After all, Jing Nan at this moment is already his Liu Bei's last hole card.

After that, he ordered his subordinates to quickly send people to find Xu Yuanzhi, let him lead the army to return as soon as possible, and let the Jingnan defenders organize the army to cross the river to aid Xiangyang as soon as possible.

After anxiously waiting for nearly three days, Liu Bei did not wait for the good news from his own horse.

On the contrary, there were a lot of messengers who came, and the rest of the places sent out to explore the horses.

Of course, these tanma were also deliberately put in by the army of the Shi Alliance, in order to reduce the popularity of Liu Bei and others.

After getting the rebellion of the Hao clan of the four counties of Jingnan, the Taishou of the four counties was killed, and the four counties of Jingnan all fell into the hands of the Hao army.

Most of the local troops have also surrendered to the Hao clan, and the Hao clan in Jingnan counties have sent troops to defend the Yangtze River crossing to prevent Liu Bei's army from returning to Jingnan.

Hearing the news, Liu Bei's eyes were black and he was about to lie on the ground, but fortunately, Zhang Feiyan quickly supported Liu Bei.

At this moment, Liu Bei's eyes were full of endless resentment, and his heart was also full of a trace of sadness.

He didn't understand, how long had it been since almost everyone in the whole world began to target him? Why did even the four counties of Jingnan, which were their most loyal, start to rebel against themselves?

In an instant, Liu Bei stood up straight, pulled out the sword in his hand and drove it to his neck, at this moment Liu Bei already wanted to be like Xiang Yu back then, come to a Wujiang to kill himself.

Seeing Liu Bei's condition, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu hurriedly stopped him.

"Big brother, there's no need, there's no need big brother."

After snatching the sword from Liu Bei's hand, Zhang Fei handed over the secret letter sent by Xu Shu to Liu Bei.

"Big brother, there's no need, there is still news of Xu Yuanzhi, maybe there will be some good news."

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei was also deeply relieved, yes, although all parts of Jingnan were occupied at this moment, the 20,000 recruits in Xu Shu's hands were still there.

But when Liu Bei opened Xu Shu's secret letter and saw the contents inside, Liu Bei felt dizzy for a while.

In Xu Shu's letter, Xu Shu first admitted his mistake, although he is now going to Xiangyang quickly, but because some recent rumors have been introduced to the army,

Many soldiers were also affected by rumors, and some other ideas were born in their hearts, and there were even army mutinies.

At present, he has controlled the troops, but due to a series of reasons, he still can't rush to Xiangyang soon.

Xu Shu said in the letter that after integrating the troops, he would immediately go to Xiangyang.

After reading the letter sent by Xu Shu, Liu Bei knew that now all he could rely on was the 30,000 soldiers in Xiangyang City.

It is impossible for everyone else to come to support him, and now he is even more pathetic than the Chu Overlord back then.

For a while, Liu Bei's heart was filled with endless resentment,

Obviously, he has mastered Jingzhou, and it is clear that Liu Qi is about to burp and become a real Jingzhou pastor.

But only one night has passed, and just one night has reached the point where everyone is shouting and beating on all sides.

Suddenly, Liu Bei felt a cramping pain in his heart, and he fell straight down while holding his heart.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei falling, and hurriedly supported him, Guan Yu frowned and looked at Zhang Fei, and reprimanded him in a low voice.

"Third brother, what are you trying to do? I want to be honest and angry, and the big brother can't do it! ”

Listening to Guan Yu's reprimand, Zhang Fei was also confused.

"I don't know what the situation is, I haven't read Xu Yuanzhi's letter yet, but I handed it over directly to the eldest brother."

"! Scoundrel! Blame the rebels outside the city! ”

Looking at Liu Bei, who was lying unconscious on the bed, a nameless fire instantly surged into Zhang Fei's heart,

With a low and angry voice, Zhang Fei shouted with the Zhangba snake spear that he wanted to rush out of the city and stab the one hundred and eight holes of those rebels!

"Stop!"

However, before he could take two steps, he was scolded by Guan Yu.

"After many years of fighting, why are you still so reckless? If you rush out of the city now, it will create an opportunity for those rebels to attack Xiangyang City! ”

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei also stopped, but looking at Liu Bei lying on the bed, he was still very angry in his heart.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw a small soldier running in in a panic.

"Two generals! The two generals are not good, the granary in the south of the city is on fire, and the north and south gates are opened by someone who doesn't know who opened them, and at this moment the rebels have already rushed into the city! ”

This fire, of course, was put by the Cai family brothers, and this city gate, of course, was also opened by the Cai family's family after killing the city gate guards.

After learning that the Shi Clan Alliance Army had put many scouts into the city, the Cai brothers guessed that Liu Bei would definitely be in chaos when he saw the news, and this time was a good time for them to take the opportunity to make trouble in the city and let the Alliance Army enter the city.

So there is the news that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have heard now.

And after hearing the news that the city gate was opened and the army of the warriors had entered the city at this moment,

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also shocked instantly,

The two thought that Liu Bei's fainting at this critical moment was already a big deal, but they never expected that there were more exciting things waiting for them.

"These thieves! This group of moles! ”

Guan Yu knew that with the strength of Xiangyang City, there would be no problems at all in the first two or three months, and that group of alliance troops would definitely not be able to break through Xiangyang City.

But he never expected that there would be a traitor in this Xiangyang City, but at this moment, Guan Yu couldn't control so much, so he could only arrange someone to send Liu Bei out first.

"Third brother, you quickly lead the eldest brother to escape from Xiangyang!"

As he spoke, Guan Yu looked directly at Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei was obviously shrouded in anger, and he said to Guan Yu with his Zhangba snake spear:

"Second brother, what are you doing? You and my brothers have already made it clear that they do not want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day, how can I abandon you and run for my life alone? ”

Looking at Zhang Fei who was full of murderous intent in front of him, Guan Yu's eyes were indeed full of deep disappointment, and when he raised his hand, he slapped Zhang Fei's face.

"You idiot! Don't waste too much time here, your and my lives are not important, the most important thing is the life of the eldest brother, as long as the eldest brother is still there, sooner or later, with the talent of the eldest brother, he will re-open the world and avenge you and me! ”

"Quickly break through with my eldest brother and go to Xichuan, and I will follow you later!"
