Chapter 13: Bad News

"At the beginning, I waited to defend Zhuo County, and the two sides were normal at the beginning, and although the war was deadlocked, there was no big problem on the whole.

The soldiers and horses in Zhuo County were badly damaged, but the rebels of the Yellow Turbans were also uncomfortable.

Originally, what we wanted was that as long as we could persevere, the Yellow Turban Army would be powerless and would always be able to be dragged down by us.

Even if the other party uses some... Some not-so-good means, we also have the envoys of the land in the thistle behind us and the reinforcements from various counties.

Ultimately... We can still win! ”

Liu Bei, who has been refreshed, is also talking about his experience during this time.

At the same time, there was a painful look between his eyebrows and eyes, and he could see that this battle really made him a little sad.

And Gongsun Zhu on the side, while handing him his water bladder, was also comforting softly.

"Brother Xuande doesn't need to be like this, I will know about the rest of the matter.

No one thought that the biggest problem in Youzhou was not in Jizhou, but in Youzhou.

We all thought that the Yellow Turban rebels from Jizhou were coming, and even the envoy felt so, so I asked Captain Zou Jing to come to Zhuojun to support and prepare for the war.

When the time comes, let Captain Zou Jing bring reinforcements, plus the righteous army recruited by Zhuojun himself, there will be no problem in guarding the gateway of Youzhou.

But... On the way, we knew that the interior of Youzhou had already been sneaked into by the other party.

Captain Zou Jing was ambushed halfway, although his life was unhindered, and the damage to his soldiers and horses was not serious, he could not come to the land of Zhuojun in a short time.

And Guangping County is even more so, many officials have secretly taken refuge in the Yellow Turban Army, not only to help the Yellow Turban Army hide, but also to open the city gate to let the rebel army enter.

For a time, the situation in Guangping County may be even more serious than that in Zhuo County.

Now that Guo Xun envoy is not afraid of sending troops to support, it should be difficult for him to protect himself now. ”

Gongsun Zhu's words made Liu Bei even more silent, he had been fighting to the death in Zhuo County all this time, and he knew almost nothing about the outside world.

He didn't even know why the reinforcements that were supposed to be there didn't come.

It wasn't until he heard this that he understood a little.

But in the face of this fact, Liu Bei couldn't say anything except sighing.

"Yun Chang, what about Yide and Xian and them?" Gongsun Zhu had already asked people to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies of the war dead.

During this process, Gongsun Zhu saw the corpses of many familiar people, but none of the three people in his memory were found.

At the very least, it means that they survived, and they survived on this battlefield.

Liu Bei's expression also became a little loose after hearing this, and then he looked in a certain direction, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes again.

"Hey... After the city was broken, we could only fight in the streets, but in the face of those Yellow Turban rebels, we couldn't contain the other side in the street fighting.

In desperation, the prince and Bei discussed that they should escort the people out first, otherwise who knows what will happen after the rebellious army enters the city.

Therefore, the rebel army was organized by Hefujun to continue to garrison in the city, and used the city to limit and resist the Yellow Turban rebellion.

And Yun Chang is escorting the families of Beihe Fujun and others, and Yide is escorting the people with Xianhe.

If nothing else, they must have entered a nearby mountain.

Although it is not precipitous, there is always a way to live in the mountains and forests.

And the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack... The Yellow Turbans are also not easy to rush directly to kill. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, the worry in his expression increased even more.

It had already been agreed that as long as they safely escorted the people into the mountains and forests, they would immediately bring their troops back, and then join themselves and break through again.

Although he didn't last three days, it has come to this... They also have no intention of coming back.

Liu Bei wasn't worried that they would leave him, he knew very well the feelings of these people for him, as long as they didn't die, they would definitely come back to find him.

What Liu Bei is really worried about, where are these people now.... Did there be some accident on the road?

It seemed that he could see the worried look on Liu Bei's face, and Gongsun Zhu didn't say anything, and immediately ordered the scouts in the army to ride their horses in that direction.

Find out what the hell is going on along the way.

Although there is a dead silence around Zhuo County now, for those experienced scouts in the army, even some corpses and battlefield relics are there.

They were also able to roughly deduce what was going on.

Time passed bit by bit, and it took most of the day just to clean up the battlefield in Zhuo County.

It wasn't until late in the night that the scouts who had gone out ran back again exhausted.

Also brought back was one of Liu Bei's staff, who was also his confidant Jian Yong.

And in the mouth of the scout, this person who pretended to be dead was much more like Liu Bei, and they were stunned to go back and forth several times, but they didn't find that this guy was pretending to be dead.

In the end, it was Jian Yong who confirmed their identities before he took the initiative to stand up.

Hearing these words, Gongsun Zhu's cheeks twitched, but when he saw the embarrassed Jian Yong, he couldn't say anything teasing.

It can be seen that as an expert who pretends to be dead, Jian Yong is not only much stronger than Liu Bei, but the injuries on his body are much more serious than Liu Bei.

Even Gongsun Zhu had a hunch that this Jian Yong didn't dare to show his head just in case.

This guy may have really passed out halfway through, and he didn't notice it at all....

"What about the others? Yun Chang and Yide! On the one hand, Gongsun Zhu arranged for the sergeant to clean his wounds and bandage the wounds on his body, and on the other hand, he also asked a little impatiently, "Didn't Xuande say that you are all together?" ”

"Scattered...."Jian Yong is now visibly weak, and when he saw Liu Bei, who was also stumbling over, he couldn't help but show a wry smile towards Liu Bei, "Xuande... I'm sorry for you..."

"Don't speak first, you will be wounded first..."

"I haven't been able to protect your family, sister-in-law and little nephew... They were all scattered in the midst of the chaos.

Now I'm afraid that something has happened! ”

“.....”

Gongsun Zhu looked at Liu Bei, who was silent, and seemed to be able to feel the grief in his heart, and slowly stepped forward to comfort the other party, but before he could speak.

Liu Bei had already shown a smile again, and that relaxed smile seemed to be hearing not his wife's bad news, but something inconsequential.

"This is their fate, you don't have to say anything, take care of your injuries.

Yun Chang and Yide are categorically fine.

You're all right... As long as you're okay, that's for the best! ”
