Liu Bei regretted it.

He was hesitant about whether to move north to Dangyang and Zhijiang. After all, Cao Cao was defeated by the Jiangdong Army on the water and transferred his troops to fight, but the Jiangdong Army might not be able to fight. Maybe turn around and go back to Xiangyang immediately.

However, it has been raining continuously for the past two days, and the wind and waves are high on the river. Even if he stays in Jiangling, he will not be able to cross the river. It seems that God wants him to bring more people to Wuling.

Comparing his painstaking reputation for benevolence with the image of Cao Cao's massacre of the Hannier, there are indeed many people who have brought their families and children to the south with him, but he never thought that these people are far inferior to him Marching is difficult for the elderly, and children are crying, and they can't travel twenty miles a day!

Dangyang is more than [-] miles away from Jiangling, and the light army can reach Jiangling in a day and a night. If you go on like this, it will take ten days to reach Jiangling.In ten days, God knows where Cao Cao's army will be, and God knows what other variables will happen.

Liu Bei returned to his horse and looked at the tens of thousands of people who were scattered, ragged, and crying, and then looked at the dejected soldiers and horses on both sides of the people. The winter rain wet his eyes and made him There was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

"Brother, I have sent scouts to Xiakou to investigate. Zhou Yu is good at using troops. If Cao Cao shows signs of dividing his troops, he will definitely not miss it." Seeing Liu Bei's worry, Zhang Fei rode forward.To be honest, he actually did not approve of migrating people to the north, at least Liu Bei could not come in person.Guan Yu led the army to cross the river with the first convoy, and now they have arrived in Wuling. At this time, Jiangling is empty. No matter what, they have to wait a little longer. When Guan Yu returns, it is safer for them to set off again.

But Liu Bei was very anxious, fearing that he would miss the opportunity, and the matter has come to this point, he can only try his best to persuade him.

It's just that before Liu Bei's worries were calmed down by his persuasion, the scouts in front rushed back and shouted: "My lord, cavalry were found five miles to the south!"

Liu Bei was taken aback. He only had dozens of horses in Jiangling and no decent cavalry at all.There are not many cavalry in Jiangdong, and cavalry can be seen moving five miles away, only Cao Jun!

But how could Cao Jun come from the south when he gathered in the north?

"Jiangling is in danger!" Liu Bei's face suddenly paled. Guan Yu crossed the river and did not return, and he took most of the troops to migrate northward. At this time, Jiangling was almost an empty city!If Cao Cao raided Jiangling, he would have nowhere to go.

At this time, Liu Bei couldn't care less about why Cao Cao dispatched troops to Jiangling, but the Jiangdong Army didn't move at all. He trembled all over and shouted sharply to gather the troops.

"The people go first, the spearmen follow me to meet the enemy, and the elder brother goes first." Zhang Feihu roared, pointed the Zhangba spear in the air, and turned the horse's head.

"Third brother," Liu Bei, who had been a soldier for half his life, faced the most life-and-death situations. He reacted very quickly and grabbed Zhang Fei's horse's head, "If Cao Cao's army is in the army, you must not force it!" Tens of thousands of people, eighty percent of them are old and weak people, and there are only two thousand infantry. If it is Cao Cao's pioneers who come, that's all.

At this time, the earth trembled faintly, and a thunderous rumble sounded from far to near, and a black line appeared within sight to the south.Liu Bei didn't have time to stay any longer, and after leaving half of the spearmen for Zhang Fei, he brought a thousand soldiers and horses with him, and rushed to the east in the direction of Changbanpo.

I have to say that Liu Bei's luck is actually really good.

Cao Ren led [-] tigers and leopards to ride day and night. He really wanted to capture Jiangling first, cut off Liu Bei's retreat, and then turn around to encircle Cao Cao.But I don’t want the rain in the south to continue this winter. There are only two roads leading to Jiangling. No matter how elite one is, it is difficult to move an inch.But there are so many people on the official road, it is almost impossible to surprise Jiangling silently.In desperation, he simply rushed to the official road, abandoned Jiangling and took Liu Bei first-if Liu Bei could be caught, Jiangling would surrender without a fight.

If not, when Liu Bei returned to Jiangling mightily with tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and five thousand tiger and leopard riders rushed out of the city, Liu Bei would have nowhere to escape.

Tigers and leopards rode black armored black horses, and the blackness swept over like a storm. The earth trembled, and tens of thousands of people wailed and wailed, and fled in all directions.

Feathered arrows were like rain, and spears were like a forest. Cavalrymen were constantly shot by arrows and fell off their horses, and horses were constantly pierced by spears.But the cavalry charged up like a stormy wave without stopping. The powerful impact smashed tens of thousands of people to pieces in the blink of an eye, with limbs flying and blood splattering. In reincarnation, it is impossible to restrain the soldiers at this time and withstand such a violent impact.

The gentle-looking commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry cursed a curse on his horse. A silver spear was like a pear blossom, and every shot picked up a soldier who was fleeing with his head in his arms.The cavalry rushed into the unarmed civilians. He didn't want to see such an ending, but he also hated these foolish people who were easily incited by Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao... In the end, it was the big-eared thief who caused trouble!

"Whoever gets the big-eared thief will be rewarded ten catties, and ten thousand households will be made marquis!"

Cao Ren shouted loudly, and the murderous Tiger and Leopard Cavalry immediately shifted their attention from the fleeing soldiers and civilians to Liu Bei. Following his spear, they rushed back and forth several times, and chased the defeated army in the direction of Liu Bei's escape.

Zhao Yun has followed Liu Bei's adoptive son Liu Feng to train troops in Zigui Jiancheng for the past year.He knew that Liu Bei was dissatisfied with his relationship with Li Mu, so he sent Xu Li to warn Li Mu, saying that Zigui was located at the throat of the Yangtze River into Yizhou, and the city was built here to prepare for the capture of Yizhou in the future.But in fact... Liu Feng never mentioned a single word about the city wall construction of Zigui City and the drainage direction of the moat in front of him.He only stayed in the barracks, and groups of soldiers came and went. He had no chance to fight, nor did he have the right to command the army.

This time, before Zhuge Liang's envoy to Jiangxia, he made a plan for Liu Bei to retreat southward to Wuling. Because Guan Yu went first and Zhang Fei was cut off, he wrote a letter to call Zhao Yun back.Liu Bei was not a jealous person, but this thorn in his heart seemed to be sore, even Zhuge Liang persuaded him several times, but he turned the subject lightly.

It's just that Liu Bei was worried about Zhao Yun's staying in Zigui when he withdrew south this time.He didn't think that Zhao Yun would betray him, but Zigui is too close to Yizhou and is on the Yangtze River. Given the relationship between Zhao Yun and Li Mu, if Li Mu came across the river and wanted to take Yizhou by way of Zigui, he didn't believe Zhao Yun. will refuse.

So this time Zhuge Liang recalled Zhao Yun, Liu Bei did not object.

Zhao Yun only thought that Liu Bei had finally got rid of his knots, and led his [-] soldiers to rush all the way, but he didn't expect to encounter deserters who were killed by Cao Jun before he reached Jiangling.The deserter narrowly escaped death, and his knowledge was very limited. He didn't even know that Liu Bei had fled eastward before Cao Jun killed him. He only knew that they were hunted down by Cao Cao's army. The face is ferocious, as if choosing someone to devour.

Zhao Yun was very anxious, but Jiangling is full of water, hills, and vast mountains and rivers, where can he find Liu Bei?I can only find it slowly along the route the deserter came from, but I don't want to teach him to meet the main force of Cao Jun.

The handsome man inlaid with gold was flying in the wind. Cao Cao, wearing a gold helmet, was listening to scouts reporting that Liu Bei had fled eastward for more than ten miles and was stopped by Cao Ren. He smiled with joy, and Zhao Yun rushed out from behind.

"Kill Cao thief!"

An army of 500 people, with Zhao Yun's silver spear, was like an arrow breaking through the water, tearing apart the soldiers and horses behind Cao Jun.Cao Cao only thought that Liu Bei was exhausted, but he never expected that an army would suddenly come out from behind him.There is no battle flag waving, and no golden drum or horn. Wherever he goes, the only cry of "kill the Cao thief" goes straight into the sky. The first general has no armor, but a white horse and silver spear. He Lianchao was the first to react, commanding troops and horses to fight against the four generals who responded, opening a gap in the quick-response rear army, and galloping his horse towards Cao Cao's direction.

Kill Cao Cao, and the siege of Liu Bei will be resolved by itself!

In an instant, the arrows flew like locusts, Zhao Yun danced with his spear, and knocked down a bunch of arrows that shot in front of him. The horse under him galloped like lightning, and rushed twenty steps in front of Cao Cao without stopping. , Not daring to shoot any more arrows, Cao Cao's personal guards immediately went up to meet him, and surrounded Zhao Yun in all directions.

Zhao Yun showed no fear, and swept his long spear, picking up several of Cao Cao's personal guards, and the tip of the spear brought up a puff of blood mist, rushing from left to right, and there was no enemy in his path.These are two generals leading the troops and rushing forward, holding two iron axes, they are Xu Huang and Lu Kuang.

Xu Huang's battle ax had a long handle and a wide blade. When he swung it, the whistling wind sounded like a storm, while Lu Kuang rotated his axes and danced a silver arc. The two of them came forward and back, flanking Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun handed over the gun to his left hand, turned back the gun sideways, passed the blade of Xu Huang's axe, stretched out his right hand, and snatched the long knife from a soldier who was about to take advantage of the chaos, and threw it in front of Lu Kuang's axe. Kuang Shuangaxe was blocked, and the moment he hesitated for a moment, Zhao Yun's spear tip burst into a flower of blood at his throat.The long knife in his hand exerted force, and there was a crisp sound, the blade snapped, and the huge force brought by it brought the ax that had lost its strength to spin out.

The sharp battle ax drew a sharp arc in the air, spinning rapidly and slashing towards Cao Cao.

All the personal guards surrounded Zhao Yun. Seeing the tomahawk flying over Cao Cao's head, and the rescue was too late, Cao Hong cried out in alarm.

The tail of the long lance swung and struck together with the tomahawk in the air. The trajectory of the tomahawk changed, from vertical to horizontal. Cao Cao lowered his head suddenly, and with a "click", a corner of the golden helmet on his head was chopped off. His face turned pale, and he got on his horse amidst the guards who were slowly covering him up, turned around and retreated.

Zhao Yun laughed loudly, and was about to chase again, but was blocked by Cao Hong who was catching up. Immediately afterwards, General Zhang Yun also charged up.

After passing Changbanpo, there are continuous and low hills, sparse forests everywhere, and there is no danger to defend in the terrain.

Zhang Fei was scattered by Cao Jun and the defeated soldiers, and he had no idea where Liu Bei was, let alone rescue him.Liu Bei was constantly surrounded by the chasing Cao Jun along the way, and then he broke through the siege quickly with his horses. The soldiers and horses around him became less and less, but the Cao Jun behind him was getting closer and closer. At this time, he could not care about Jiangling at all. At the end of the road, all kinds of ambitions are superfluous, and his situation is extremely dangerous, so he can only run eastward desperately.

But at this moment, the horse under him suddenly stepped into a mud pit with entangled roots, the horse's hooves sank, and the huge momentum of galloping forward could not be restrained. Vigorously overturned out.

"My lord..." Several veterans who followed Liu Bei quickly jumped off their horses to help him up, "My lord, quickly change horses..."

However, Cao Jun behind him was within [-] paces. Cao Ren rode in the lead, and the tigers and leopards rode more than a thousand forwards to rise and fall. The momentum was astonishing, and the splashed mud could even be thrown directly on Liu Bei's face.

"Liu Bei is dead to me!" Liu Bei knew that it would be difficult to escape this time, he closed his eyes and sighed, tears streaming down his clothes.

However, at this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly broke out in the sparse forest. Cao Ren shouted loudly, his horse neighed sharply, and amidst the wailing, rows of cavalrymen fell from their horses with arrows.

After the rain of arrows was shot, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the forest, shouting like thunder, the cavalry were high-spirited, and the infantry lined up. At a glance, the sparse forests were full of troops hiding everywhere, with soldiers everywhere, and the cold light was cold. The banners were flying, with a huge "Sun" character on it, waving in all directions.

The first general, with sculpted eyebrows and bright eyes, white horse and silver armor, fierce battle robe, and a cluster of red tassels flying around on the silver spear, is Zhou Yu.

"Is the emperor okay?" Li Muce immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands to Liu Bei.If Liu Bei does not relocate the people of Nanjun, at least she will block the river and escort them all the way to keep at least 10 people safe.But if Liu Bei really made such a stupid mistake and set his mind on the people of Nanjun, it would be no wonder that she deliberately let Cao Cao go south to Jiangling.

Originally, he wanted to ambush Cao Jun here, which happened to save Liu Bei's life.Li Mu hated Liu Bei, but he also knew that at this time, the big-eared thief was more useful alive than dead.After this battle, Liu Bei's entire army was wiped out, and he would not be able to recover for at least a few years, but he still has the name of an emperor's uncle. Cao Cao has the emperor of Han in his hands, and only Liu Bei is alive. The Sun family will fight against it with a corner in the future. Cao Jun is justified.

This is a chaotic world full of wars and chaos, but it is also an era of righteousness and reason in everything and "saving face". Li Mu has been in this era for several years and knows the importance of a status.That's why when she saw Liu Bei this time, she said "Uncle Emperor" first, and immediately buckled him up.

It doesn't matter how much moisture his uncle has, as long as he is reasonable.

Liu Bei narrowly escaped from the dead, and seeing the neatly lined up Jiangdong army in front of him, full of emotion, bowed deeply to Li Mu: "It is really hard to repay the kindness that Bei received from Marquis Wucheng."

Li Mu got off his horse and smiled slightly: "It's not difficult to report. I have a matter. If the emperor can answer, you and I will settle the grievances. I will stop the army in Nanjun for another fifteen days and help the emperor take Yizhou in the west. How about it?"

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and smiled calmly at Li Mu: "Now that Bei is here, Marquis Wu Cheng doesn't need to try anymore, just speak up if you have something to say."

Li Mu touched the bridge of his nose, if it weren't for the sly smile in his eyes, the slightly pursed corners of his lips would have looked a bit like Zhou Yu.

"I want Zhao Zilong to be my Jiangdong general, and I will have nothing to do with you from now on."
