Under the fiasco, Ji Ling was still hesitant to withdraw from the army

Therefore, after fleeing back to the camp, he immediately held the camp, gathered the rout, and responded to the possible counterattack of the enemy.

Guan Yu did chase all the way to Ji Ling's camp, but Ji Ling already had half of the troops in the camp and did not participate in the rescue of Liu Xun, so he could wait for work.

Guan Yu, who was already injured, couldn't take advantage, so he took it away decisively when he saw that it was good.

After stabilizing the camp, the deputy generals Liang Gang and Le were still worried and asked to withdraw from the army:

"General, our army is defeated today, and Liu Xun is the collapse of the whole army, I don't know if I live or die, why don't I return to Xuyi safely?

Taking advantage of the fact that Guan Yu has just been scared away, this is a good time to retreat. If it is delayed for a few more days, when Liu Beijun recovers from his physical strength, it will not be so easy. ”

Ji Ling was still sober and directly vetoed:

"Can't go so fast! Have you forgotten? Liu Bei's Xiapi has been lost. Today, they can still have such courage to fight to the death, mostly because Liu Bei is strict in governing the army and blockade effectively, and the soldiers don't know that their homes are gone!

But after this battle, they will definitely capture a lot of prisoners of our army, and our army will also capture their prisoners. can let these captives fully know the truth, and then release them back into Liu Bei's army, Liu Bei's morale may collapse!

In this way, although our army no longer has an advantage in strength, it may not have a chance to consume Liu Bei! If Liu Bei finally decides to go back and counterattack Xiapi, we can still pick up the empty Huaiyin in vain! Now you must stick to Liu Bei! ”

When Liang Gangle heard this, he all looked at each other, but he didn't expect General Ji to be so ambitious.

In fact, it's not because Ji Ling is calm or resourceful - he has a fart resourcefulness at his level.

Ji Ling was just stunned by the sunk cost these days, he had invested so much blood in order to let Liu Bei know the bad news and break the army's heart, and today he suffered such a big defeat.

All he was thinking about was this, and if he didn't let him play this hole card fully, he would never give up.

This feeling is like a card player holding a pair of king bombs in his hand has not yet come out, even if he knows that this game of cards is going to lose, he has to blow up the king bomb first to be happy.

……

Ji Ling admits his death, defeats and does not retreat, and has to give full play to the theft of his hometown.

After hearing about Guan Yu's report, Liu Bei also looked very solemn:

"You beat Ji Ling's rescue of Liu Xun so badly, but after Ji Ling returned to the camp, he still decided to stick to and stick to us, unwilling to withdraw directly to Xuyi?

It seems that the situation is even more serious than Ziyu thought at the beginning. Caught in this way, how can we go south to storm Guangling? If you leave few troops here, it will not be enough to defend it, and if you leave more soldiers, it will be difficult to go to Guangling. ”

Guan Yu thought for a while, covered his left arm wounded by the arrow and said: "Big brother, it's really not good, let's divide the troops, at the beginning the enemy army of 40,000 people besieged the city, and we could still defend 12,000 people, but now that more than half of the enemy army has been annihilated, we can definitely hold on to another 3,000 or 4,000 people!" Take all the rest of the soldiers with you to storm Guangling.

This matter cannot be delayed, Liu Xun is newly defeated, and the soldiers are scattered, if we chase quickly, and the rout has not been able to regain when we catch up to Guangling, we only need to deal with Liu Xun's guard of the army. One more day of delay, the more the rout will regroup. ”

Liu Bei listened to the persuasion, thought about it quickly, and always felt that he was still unsure.

Before this battle, they had 12,000 troops. In today's decisive battle, although Liu Beijun won, casualties are inevitable.

After the battle, a little count showed that there were at least 2,000 casualties, so there were at most 10,000 people left, and there were some sick and minor wounded who did not get out of the line of fire.

10,000 people left Guan Yu with three or four thousand to defend Ji Ling and guard Huaiyin City, and there were only 6,000 people who could fight back against Guangling.

Even if the troops brought out by Liu Xun all collapsed, would these 6,000 people be able to storm Liu Xun's troops guarding his home?

The situation remains very serious.

If before today's victory, Liu Bei's victory was one percent, then now after fighting to the death, that is, this probability has been increased to about three percent, and it is far from the crisis.

Liu Bei finally sighed: "Well, there is really no better choice, I will leave you 3,000 foot soldiers, and then leave the wounded soldiers to recuperate, and bring 6,000 infantry to attack Guangling, and the only way to win or lose is to resign yourself to fate." If it drags on any longer, the morale inspired by today's victory will still collapse. ”

Guan Yu thought for a while and begged: "Big brother, leave the 1,000 cavalry for me, at least half of them, and you can take some scouts with you."

I want to put on a posture of feint to counterattack Xuyi these days, but I will never fall in love, maybe I can scare off Ji Ling and return to protect Xuyi. Anyway, you won't need cavalry to attack the city. ”

Liu Bei felt that it made sense, so he agreed, and the 1,000 cavalry lost two or three hundred in today's battle, and he left five hundred for Guan Yu, and he only brought two hundred for himself, as personal guards and sentry spies.

However, at the end of the morning, this side had just been hastily deployed, and Liu Bei was still preparing the military rations needed for the siege troops to the troops, when a general suddenly rushed into the shogunate with a few messenger scouts to report the emergency military situation to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei raised his eyes and was shocked to see that it was Chen Zhi who came to visit with Mi Zhu's son Mi Wei, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Mi Wei is only a teenager now, still a teenager, and has not taken a word, nor has he officially appeared.

But Liu Bei took good care of Mi Zhu's family, so he knew each other, and he knew that Mi Wei was also in Haixi County before, with his uncle Mi Fang, but he didn't know why he came to this.

Fortunately, Chen Zhi opened his mouth and immediately solved his doubts: "Lord, the third general sent Mi Shaojun as a messenger, and there is an important military report. ”

Liu Bei immediately lowered the step and pulled the other party to the side to sit down, asked solemnly, and Mi Wei also said:

"My lord, the boy was appointed by his father, and he followed the three generals from Haixi to Huaipu County two days ago, where he monitored the recent situation of the Huaiyin battlefield.

Then the three generals brought 1,000 soldiers and horses and went out to Sheyang County. He listened to Mr. Zhuge 's plan, saying that once he found out that Liu Xun was defeated in Huaiyin, he would immediately set off from Sheyang and disguise himself as Liu Xun's defeated cavalry to attack Guangling......"

Before Mi Wei finished speaking, Liu Bei was shocked when he heard it: How dare the third brother? A thousand people dare to disguise themselves as enemies to sneak attack?

Although the intentions are very good and the purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to share his worries and help everyone break the desperate situation, but Liu Bei soon realized that this plan was absolutely wrong!

He only felt a burst of blood rushing to his brain, so he interrupted Mi Wei's report with a gesture and shouted: "Take the map!" ”

Immediately, an attendant presented a cloth map, Liu Bei quickly spread it out on the table, and then looked at the map carefully. Because Natu's movements were too rough, there was even a sound of cracking, but Liu Bei couldn't care about it.

Judging from the map, Sheyang County is indeed located on the halfway road between Huaiyin County and Guangling County, where it is located on the east bank of Hangou, and now it is indeed an area controlled by Liu Beijun.

It's just that because the geographical location is not important, Liu Xun didn't specially divide his troops to cross the ditch east to get it when he went north, so he kept it, and there were originally hundreds of Liu Beijun guards in the city.

If you attack from Sheyang County, you can indeed shorten the journey to Guangling County - it can save about 100 miles than attacking directly from Huaiyin, and you only need to walk 160 miles to get there.

But here's the thing is that Sheyang County is not on the verge of Hangou, and it is east of Hangou.

Liu Bei felt that Zhang Fei was simply messing around, and he shot the case painfully:

"Impossible! When pigs fly! Even if Yide is reckless, but Ziyu is very intelligent, how could he give him such an idea?

Sheyang is not near Hangou, and it is east of Hangou, and there is no ferry in the local area! Guangling County is west of Hangou.

Yide used cavalry to disguise the enemy's sneak attack, how did he finally cross the ditch to Hexi to attack the city? How can a cavalry rout carry a ship with an army?

Moreover, Liu Xun's main force was defeated west of Hangou, and if the 'routed cavalry' appeared east of Hangou, it would also be directly recognized! ”

Liu Bei only felt dizzy and anxious, and almost saw in his mind the tragic situation of the third brother being besieged by the regiments after being recognized, and finally exhausted.

However, he doesn't seem to have a choice. The third brother took risks, and that was also to break the game.

He was going to fight back against Guangling, but he had to speed up with all his strength and clean up this mess for the third brother.

Just when Liu Bei was almost crying and ready to fight to death.

Mi Wei seized the opportunity to continue to speak:

"Don't worry, my lord, and listen to my explanation! Mr. Zhuge 's strategy, of course, will not be so rough, he was interrupted before he finished speaking......"

Listening to Mi Wei's follow-up explanation, Liu Bei's frightened mood finally calmed down a little, and reason reoccupied his brain.

Indeed, he sent a genius like Ziyu to follow the third brother! With Ziyu's talent, how could he make such a low-level mistake!

The co-author is Mi Wei, this kid is panting when he speaks?

Liu Bei rubbed his chest and let out a sigh: "Why didn't you finish it at first?!" Quickly explain Ziyu's plan clearly! ”

Mi Wei was also helpless: it was obviously you who interrupted by interjecting......

But now is not the time to worry about this, Mi Wei took a deep breath, sorted out his words and said in an orderly manner: "Of course, the third general's move is relied on, and my father has already prepared a merchant fleet from Haixi to the south along the coast five days in advance according to Mr. Zhuge 's strategy, and flows into the mouth of the Yangtze River five days in advance.

disguised as the merchant fleet of Danyang Sun Ce, and then went to Guangling County to enter the ditch, providing siege equipment and military rations for the sneak attack troops of the three generals, and by the way, they could also help the cavalry of the three generals cross the ditch from Sheyang West at night.

The order given by the three generals to the boy was that once he found that the lord had broken through the enemy besieging Huaiyin, he would immediately enter the city to inform the lord of this action, and the lord would quickly rush to the aid with the main force of the infantry army. The three generals should wait for Lu Bu to wait for Lu Bu in the White Gate Tower, and wait for the lord to help him take the whole city. ”

After listening to these explanations, Liu Bei was stunned for a while, and then made up for the map, and finally came back to his senses.

Ziyu's talent is really a ghost and god!

In a hurry, he could even think of letting Zizhong cross the river in white clothes, disguise Sun Ce as a businessman, and actually provide logistics and river crossing convenience for the sneak attack troops!

That being the case, the third brother's sneak attack should have a good chance of success. Although there is certainly a danger, at least I see an opportunity.

The only thing that needs to work hard now is himself, and he can't live up to the city gate that the third brother fought hard to steal!

How did Lu Bu let Xu Tan defend the White Gate Tower and drag it until Lu Bu's main force captured Pi. Today, I want to let my third brother seize the East Water Gate of Guangling, and then he will seize Guangling!

Heaven is a good cycle, and retribution is really unpleasant.

"This day I will give Ziyu to help Han get rid of thieves!" The nasolabial folds on Liu Bei's cheeks twitched rarely, gritted his teeth and roared out:

"Immediately pick up 6,000 people and follow me straight down the river to Guangling County! Don't prepare military rations, just bring them for five days! Travel light! Rescue Yide! In this battle, the remnants of Liu Xun must be completely annihilated! ”

PS: I originally thought that this chapter would be 2,000 words, after all, there are three changes today. But in the end, it still failed out of context, so let's send you more than a thousand words.

For the sake of my sincerity, I beg for a count.

There is a change of 3,000 words after 12 o'clock in the evening, which is considered tomorrow (Tuesday).

Tomorrow during the day will still be 8 in the morning and 5 in the evening, each with 2,000 words, so tomorrow will be a total of 7 or 8,000 words.

It's only so hard to hit the list on Monday and Tuesday.

From Wednesday to Sunday, two shifts per day will be resumed (in the future, only one more will be sent to everyone when the recommended position is changed on Monday and Tuesday, and the remaining five days will remain the same, all for the effect of the recommended position.) In order to prove to the editor that I still have a value to use. ）
