Baidi Chunshen

Turn over, or just move a little, and he'll wake up in no time.

After the fire, more than ten days of hasty fleeing and bloody fighting have been a nightmare for Chen until now. In the end, they only saved Liu Bei and hundreds of soldiers. More than half of the [-] army suffered casualties, and the rest were surrendered to Wu. They followed Liu Bei for more than ten years Most of the white feathers in the forest were also killed and injured. The rest of them were also haggard. The snow-white battle robe and helmet fringe were either stained with blood or scorched black by the fire. It was no longer possible to see that the original feathers were in full swing.

Wu Jun is approaching, and the sound of killing is only separated by a hill. Bai Mu's Yulin brothers have all woken up and disturbed each other. And he fought during the day, and after nightfall, he was very tired and fell into a deep sleep. He just woke up---

Your Majesty! Where is Your Majesty!???

"ah------!"

He roared loudly, and suddenly sat up and drew his sword. But he found that there was no sword beside him. He was so frightened that his heart almost burst out of his chest--!

The next moment he opened his eyes, he saw darkness in front of him, and the sound of rain in his ears.

The Yong'an Palace was quiet, and the emperor was lying beside him. There was no Wu army there.

so far so good.

He sat still in shock, and Liu Bei beside him had also woken up, and sat up slowly: "Uncle Zhi, are you having a nightmare again?"

***

Nightmare? It was a real nightmare. And the worst nightmare was the night in Ma'anshan a few months ago.

After the company camp was set on fire, the Han army was in chaos. Liu Bei’s camp also caught fire and burned to the ground. Feng Xi and Zhang Nan defended the camp, and died in battle one after another. After Liu Bei finally regrouped, he should have retreated immediately. But he Regardless of Liu Ba's dissuasion, he made a decision to completely defeat the Han army—raise Ma'anshan, and Chen Bing circled around himself, trying to hold on to the last dangerous point. The reason was that if the army retreated back to Baidi immediately, Ma Liang would not be able to react in Wuling, and he would be trapped alone. .That is tantamount to directly killing Ma Liang.

As a result, the Wu army surrounded Ma'anshan like an iron barrel. The water source of the Han army was cut off, and most of them were killed or injured.

As for Liu Bei, he changed from Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to Xiang Yu, who was surrounded by enemies overnight. He was defeated by Emperor Bai not long after, and he had to change from Emperor Guangwu to Gongsun Shu.

At this time, not only Liu Ba, but even Chen Dao knew that Ma Anshan would not be able to tie Ma Liang, but would trap the True Dragon Emperor to death!

Liu Ba knelt down and wept on the ground, persuading the king. At that moment, he wished that he was Fazheng... If Fazheng died admonishing him, Liu Bei'an would have no reason to refuse!

"You want me to abandon Ji Chang's life!" Liu Bei yelled angrily. His battle armor was shining with golden light, making him look like an angry, old five-clawed golden dragon. And Liu Ba, who was only wearing single clothes, looked so Pale and thin. He suddenly smiled, stood up and raised his head to look directly at Liu Bei.

"If Your Majesty dies in battle, his head is in a different place, and he is humiliated by the enemy, where will he put the prime minister and the great Han people!!"

In ancient times, dragons have reversed scales. However, Liu Bei's close ministers are not afraid of his reversed scales. Because he is a bright master that is rarely seen in a hundred years.

Liu Bei drew his sword and pointed at Liu Ba angrily: "I have fought in the battlefield all my life, and I am afraid of death!"

"Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated! What's more, Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme! Today, if you want to be Ji Chang alone, you will humiliate yourself and put all the troops to death. You are really a sage! If the prime minister is here, he will not abandon all the people in the world for one person." !"

"Heh...Zi Chuxiu used aggressive tactics. He made it sound like Ji Chang's life was insignificant." Liu Bei sneered.

"Yes. Compared with His Majesty's life, Ji Chang's life is insignificant compared to the Great Han Dynasty." Liu Ba smiled lightly, with blood dripping from the corners of his lips, and said softly, "Just like a minister."

He couldn't hold on any longer, and fell down. Liu Bei stepped forward to support him, and looked at the unconscious Shang Shuling in his arms: "Well said, Zichu. Death is as heavy as a mountain, but as light as a feather. Without me, you would not be as heavy as Mount Tai and as light as a feather. If it hadn’t been for me visiting the thatched hut three times, how could the crouching dragon soar to the nine heavens. If Ji Chang hadn’t heard my bosom friend with a phoenix begging for the phoenix, how could he have had his Ma Liang’s sound shaking Jingchu!”

He gritted his teeth and said every word: "Your life and death are decided by me! It's not up to you!"

***

In the Battle of Ma'anshan, the Han army was defeated by Lu Xun again and was completely disintegrated. Liu Bei broke out and was chased by the Wu army day and night, only to save his life. The [-] army lost all their vehicles, horses and equipment, and went down the river. However, they entered Bai After the Emperor City, the first thing Liu Bei did was not to rest, but to reorganize the Baidi City and the surrounding counties and counties gathered to escort the thousands of soldiers and horses, to return to Wuling!

Outside Baidi City, tens of thousands of Wu troops screamed to kill the sky. Fortunately, Baidi City was impenetrable, and Zhuge Liang left behind the formation of 64 bases above.

This is tantamount to death. Not only to die, but also to open the last gate of Ji Han to the enemy.

Liu Ba was sick and held his sword, and guarded the gate of the city.

"If Your Majesty wants to go out of the city, let the horses step over the subject!" He shouted angrily with bloodshot eyes.

Lu stood upright, hissing and making a long cry, as if trying to dissuade his master. All the civil and military generals knelt down to dissuade him.

"Don't your Majesty know that with these thousands of troops, it is impossible to kill the Wu army under the city at this moment, how can we go to Wuling!?"

In fact, Liu Bei knew it too, but he couldn't bear to do nothing. Just like when Jingzhou was lost and Guan Yu died, he also vaguely knew that the Eastern Expedition was inappropriate, and the officials were adamant. However, he wanted revenge for the dead Guan Yu, What's more, let him watch Ma Liang trapped to death!?

"Back then you put him in danger, and you assured me that he would be fine, what do you say now!" Liu Bei yelled angrily.

As if Liu Ba didn't hear it, he only ordered the three armies loudly: "Anyone who asks His Majesty to go out will kill me!"

After saying that, he vomited blood and passed out. The generals defending the city refused to open the door to the emperor, and no one dared to follow him out. The three armies had no choice. The ministers far away in Jingzhou, the strong men cut off their wrists and regarded death as home.

Liu Ba didn't wake up after being in a coma this time. Seven days later, after the Wu army withdrew from the siege, he swallowed his last breath and passed away. It was the end of summer in the second year of Zhang Wu. Seeing this, Liu Bei felt sad and ashamed Decoction, vomiting blood at the moment can not afford to be ill.

Since then, in February, Wuling has been besieged by the Wu army, and there is no news of Ma Liang. During this period, there is news that Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Cheng Ji, Fu Tong and others died in battle and died. In a different place. The head was sent to the north by Sun Quan to be dedicated to Cao Pi. This only made Liu Beizhi resentful and guilty, and his condition deteriorated rapidly.

Chen Dao was deeply worried that if Ma Liang ended up in the same way, the news would completely overwhelm this loving emperor.

Liu Bei regards the relationship with the heroes of the world as more important than anything else. More important than his wife and children, more important than the country.

After Liu Ba’s death in Baidi City, Liu Bei lost all thoughts. Although he gave up the idea of ​​returning to rescue Ma Liang, he still wrote several imperial edicts ordering Ma Liang to surrender to Wu. It was known that Ma Liang’s army was besieged alone, and Wuling was surrounded by Wu Jun can't go north to Wei like Huang Quan did. If he wants to save his life, he can only do this.

But even Chen Dao knew that with Ma Liang's temperament, he would rather die than surrender to Wu.

During these two long months, Baidi City lived like a year. I only hoped that Ma Liang would have a chance to survive, or break out of the encirclement and escape to Baidi.

"Uncle Zhi, are you having nightmares again?"

In the dark, Chen Dao didn't answer, didn't nod or shake his head, just slowly buried his head on his knees guiltily. This was the countless times he retreated back to Baidi City after being defeated. He couldn't control himself, Always woke up the emperor in the middle of the night. For this reason, he once asked Liu Bei to let him go back to the camp to sleep. But Liu Bei did not agree.

"You didn't wake me up." Liu Bei said, "When you woke up from a nightmare, I probably didn't fall asleep either."

This made Chen Dao frowned and became even more worried. He asked Liu Bei if he was sleepless every night, but he always got the emperor's denial: "I only wake up when I am ugly. So do you. The rest of the time I will sleep."

-- A blatant lie.

Chen Daohui was angry and helpless because of this. The old emperor was so stubborn that he was almost childish, and he lied without blushing, so that the straightforward man didn't know how to expose it. But so what? He couldn't stop the endless grief and guilt Devouring the health of this real dragon emperor -- nonstop day and night. He also worries about this day and night, hating his useless self so much.

"Your Majesty, have you been up all this time?" Chen Dao asked.

"What do you mean you haven't slept?" Liu Bei said, "I just woke up not long ago."

"Your Majesty, tell me the truth." Chen Dao said in a deep voice.

"I have told you the truth."

"Your Majesty must listen to the real truth."

"What do you want me to say?"

They were repeating the conversations of countless nights in the past. The final result was either that the two had a quarrel, or each of them sulked and lay back to back and continued to sleep. There was no result. The next night, the exact same thing happened again.

"Your Majesty, let me go." Chen Dao lifted the quilt and gestured to get out of bed. Liu Bei slept on the outside, so he couldn't directly step over Liu Bei and get out of bed.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Bei asked.

"Go to the latrine." Chen Dao lied without hesitation. If he said that he went to the imperial physician to give the injection, Liu Bei would definitely be angry. A few times before he got out of bed to ask Fan A to boil the medicine, Liu Bei knocked over the medicine bowl three times and resolutely Don't drink this decoction that calms the nerves and calms the mind. Then Chen Dao simply asked Fan Ah to administer the needles in person. The result was naturally that Liu Bei refused to cooperate, and even got angry at Chen Dao. Fan Ah's year has passed a hundred years. If he was angry with him, he would only treat him with courtesy. So the emperor directed all his anger on Chen Dao. Fan A, who had white beard and hair, stood aside and watched the two of them quarreling, as silent as a statue. Quietly retreated, his eyes were helpless and desolate.

"I won't allow it." Liu
