Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 268
After rushing back to the camp, Chen Dao looked back at the unwilling enemy soldiers on the water, holding their legs with their hands and panting heavily, and both legs were trembling.

It wasn't that he was frightened by the enemy, but by what he had done.

He already had a rough idea of ​​what kind of reaction this defeat would cause. Thinking about his actions, he was too stupid and eager for quick success. Although this battle was not a disastrous defeat for him, But it is very unfavorable for Chen Dao himself.

It was hard for him to gain trust in front of Liu Bei, and his prestige in the army was gradually rising. However, after tonight's battle, he might be beaten back to the original point.

"Grandma, you run really fast." On the enemy warship, the enemy general stomped his feet angrily and cursed.

"General, what should we do now, withdraw?" A sergeant behind him stepped forward and asked with fists clasped.

The general didn't speak, but took a deep breath and thought about something in his mind. The current situation is certain to retreat. In front of him is Liu Bei's camp. It will be dangerous to pursue him further, but he still feels unwilling and thinks about retreating. Was it possible to do something before? After a while, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Go, let the archers prepare the rockets." General Liu Peng ordered.

This Liu Peng is a deputy general of the navy in Jingzhou. He has never had any status in the army. Although he has a talent, he can't use it. Finally, he has the opportunity to show it today, but he still let Chen Dao run away. up.

Soon, under the preparation of the archers, a large number of rockets were ready, and then under Liu Peng's shout, countless rockets pierced the night sky and shot directly at Liu Bei's camp.

"Quick, defend!" Chen Dao ordered hastily.

He didn't notice that the distance between the enemy army and his camp is very close, completely within the range of their bows and arrows.

"Retreat!" After the chaos in Liu Bei's camp, Liu Peng smiled triumphantly, and then ordered to retreat.

The reason why he chooses to shoot arrows is to show an attitude, that is, he chases your captain all the way, shoots you after chasing you home, and leaves safely and comfortably after everything is over. A chic gesture.

As he expected, after Liu Bei's camp quieted down, many soldiers looked unsightly and worried.

There was a lot of movement here, and Liu Bei, who was already sound asleep, was awakened. Just as he learned the details of the incident from the soldiers, Chen Dao came in dragging his heavy armor, knelt down on one knee and began to plead guilty.

"My lord, Chen Dao was too eager for quick success, and originally wanted to test the combat power of the navy, but who knew that something like this would happen." Before Liu Bei could speak, Chen Dao looked remorseful and was about to cry.

Liu Bei looked at him and took a deep breath, and said weakly, "Get up, go and have a good rest, it's nothing."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei turned around and went into the inner room to continue resting. As for the outside affairs, he left them to other people to deal with.

Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Chen Dao felt a thump in his heart. Although he had already prepared in his heart, it was still a little difficult to accept.

It seemed that Liu Bei was really disappointed with him. Although he didn't show it too obviously, the sigh and the powerlessness he showed just now are enough to explain this.

Chen Dao walked out of Liu Bei's camp worriedly, stood at the door and looked around for a long time, feeling more and more annoyed, and gradually he began to hate Zhao Yun a little bit.

All of these things were chosen because of Liu Bei's distrust of Zhao Yun. That is to say, Zhao Yun is his biggest competitor now. Fortunately for him, Zhao Yun is not here now. It just gave him a good opportunity to take the opportunity to develop.

"Governor, are you okay?" At this moment, a man in commoner clothes came over and said respectfully with his fists cupped.

Everyone in this big camp is wearing thick armor, and there is a lot of noise when they walk, only the guy in front of him is dressed in civilian clothes, so he looks very conspicuous.

If you can recognize him, the person in front of you is one of Liu Bei's military strategists. He usually only provides strategic advice and doesn't go to the battlefield, so he doesn't wear armor.

It's just that the person in front of him doesn't seem to be popular among Liu Bei's army, or he's just a low-level person, and it's hard for anyone to listen to his words.

"So it's Mr. Xu, why don't you take a break at this late hour?" Chen Dao said after collecting his thoughts.

"Oh, I was just passing by here, and seeing the governor seems to be in a bad mood, I wonder if the governor has time to chat with me?" Xu Zhi said with a bow.

What he said made Chen Dao sneer in his heart, just you?Still passing by?He obviously came here for himself, and he said it so naturally, but he didn't say anything, but responded with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Xu, then please come to my water army camp."

The reason why he was able to agree to chat with Xu Zhi was because he knew that Xu Zhi and Zhao Yun were not friendly on weekdays. His so-called chat was definitely meant to tell him about Zhao Yun.

Under the leadership of Chen Dao, the two quickly came to the cabin of one of the warships on the water and sat opposite each other.

"Mr. Xu, what do you want to tell me?" Chen Dao sat there straight, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, feeling very upset. As for the reason, of course, it was because he just lost the battle .

"Hehe, the governor looked very unhappy in today's battle." Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Chen Dao glanced at him, and said angrily, "Yes, Mr. Xu, if you lost the battle, would you be happy?"

Xu Zhi smiled softly again, looking very inscrutable, "Commander, you shouldn't be upset. As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Do you know the difference between you and Zhao Yun, Commander?"

"Go ahead." Chen Dao didn't interrupt.

Xu Zhi continued, "Maybe you haven't noticed, Commander. Since Zhao Yun's debut, he has gone through countless battles and battles with the lord, and has never been defeated."

"You!" Xu Zhi's words made him furious.

What do you mean by raising Zhao Yun's ambition and destroying his prestige?This is too outrageous, what else to talk about, maybe it's possible to talk about this.

Xu Zhi, however, smiled lightly and remained calm, "Captain Moji, please listen to me speak slowly."

Chen Dao snorted coldly and sat down angrily again, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"The governor doesn't know. Although Zhao Yun is a brave general, and the personnel in the army are also very good, the problem lies here. His personnel are so good that many times even the lord finds it embarrassing. .”
