Chapter 158
Xu Shu quickly stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army and immediately saluted Liu Bei.
"Lord, I heard that Bowangpo was defeated, so I hurried to Fancheng
!" Liu Bei stepped forward and pulled Xu Shu's arm excitedly: "It's too time for Yuan Zhi to come!" "What's
going on?" Xu Shu asked.
Without waiting for Liu Bei to speak, Zhang Fei shouted: "Then Lu Bu saw through Zhuge Junshi's plan and killed us and threw away his armor, my eldest brother almost died in the fire, I think you bullshit military advisors are not as good as my second brother knows the art of war
!" "Yide, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei loudly.
Compared with Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei trusted Xu Shu more.
Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Lu Bu is a puppet, and he actually saw through Kong Ming's strategy
?" "Yes!" Liu Bei nodded: "This matter makes me puzzled
!" "Hey!" Zhuge Liang sighed: "Everything is beyond my expectations!" Xu
Shu said: "I think the lord and Kong Ming are not defeated by Lu Bu!" "
Who is that?" Liu Bei asked.
Xu Shu hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it's Mr. Crow
Chao Rui!" "What
?" "Chao Rui?" "That little rabbit cub?"
Xu Shu said again: "Chao Rui has the ability to plan and calculate, if he is with the army, he will naturally be able to see Kong Ming's strategy
!" "That's right!" Liu Bei nodded: "If Chao Rui is in Lu Bu's army, everything will be explained!" Zhang
Fei said: " After a long time, our opponent is not Lu Bu, it is Chao Rui's kid!
" "It's us who blame Kong Ming's military division!" Guan Yu lowered his head silently.
With his understanding of Lu Bu and Chao Rui, only Chao Rui could see through Kong Ming's plan on this battlefield.
Xu Shu comforted Zhuge Liang again: "Kong Ming doesn't have to be depressed, it is reasonable to lose to Chao Rui in the first battle
!" "Hey!" Zhuge Liang still sighed, although he understood this truth, but his heart was not happy after all.
Liu Bei shook his head: "Our army was defeated by Bowangpo, and its vitality was greatly damaged, if Chao Rui and Lu Bu came to attack, I am afraid that this Fancheng would not be able
to hold it!" "That's right!" Xu Shu nodded: "This Fancheng must not be able to hold it!"
"Why can't it be held?" Zhang Fei was puzzled.
Xu Shu said: "I got a secret letter yesterday, Liu Biao is sick
and dead!" "What?" Liu Bei was shocked
: "Liu Biao is dead!" "That's right!" Xu Shu nodded: "As soon as Liu Biao dies, Cao Cao will inevitably lead the army south, even if Lu Bu is blocked at this time, Cao Cao can't be stopped, and the only way to retreat to Xinye City is the best policy!"
Zhang Fei was puzzled: "Bowangpo fought a defeated battle, and he still had to give up Fancheng?"
"We must retreat!" Zhuge Liang said firmly: "When we arrive in Xinye City, we can join forces with the eldest son Liu Qi to help him seize the throne, and then use the power of Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao, this is our only way out
!" "The two military advisors are reasonable!" Liu Bei said: "Pass my order, the soldiers and civilians in the city, withdraw from Fancheng tonight
!" Zhang Fei asked: "The army and the people go together, what if Lu Bu comes to pursue?"
"I will not abandon the people!" Liu Bei said firmly.
"Yide, don't say much, the eldest brother is free to decide!" Guan Yu said.
"I listen to my eldest brother!" Zhang Fei nodded.
At the third watch that night, the gate of Fancheng was opened.
The soldiers and civilians left the city together and rushed to Xinye.
The news soon spread to Bowang City.
Lu Bu jumped up from the bed excitedly.
"Liu Bei escaped
?" "Why did he escape
?" "I haven't gone to Fancheng to beat him yet!" "What's
the situation?"
Chao Rui unhurriedly took out a secret letter.
Lu Bu took the secret letter and looked at it: "Liu Biao is dead?" "
Hmm!" Chao Rui nodded.
Lu Bu said, "Liu Bei went back to the funeral?" "
Are you stupid?" Chao Rui said.
Lu Bu: "Uh..."
Lao Mo said: "It's really stupid, Liu Bei must want to occupy Liu Biao's wife, the prime minister has said that girls are not as good as wives
!" "I think you two are brothers!" Chao Rui glanced at the two fiercely.
Lu Bu hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, tell me the truth in this
!" Chao Rui explained: "Liu Bei retreats to Xinye, and he will definitely support Liu Qi to succeed him as the son, which means that Liu Bei and Jingzhou are bound together
!" "It makes sense!" Lu Bu said.
Chao Rui said again: "Liu Bei has a better chance of winning against the imperial army with the power of Jingzhou?" "
Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Bu still nodded again and again.
Chao Rui said: "What kind of loss is it that lost a small Fancheng?" "
That's right!" Lu Bu nodded again.
Chao Rui said: "The army will rush to Fancheng immediately, looking for an opportunity to fight Xinye again!" "
Okay!" Lu Bu nodded and ordered the transfer of troops overnight.
The next night, the army entered Fancheng.
After the army stabilized, Lu Bu asked Chao Rui.
"I heard that Liu Bei, a fool, fled with the people, the speed is particularly slow, our army can go after him
!" Chao Rui smiled: "Do you know how many people escaped?"
"Hundreds of thousands!" Lu Bu said.
Chao Rui said: "Liu Bei is no more than 10,000 troops, if you escape alone, you go to chase and chase one accurately, if these 10,000 people are mixed in the ranks of the people, how
can you kill them?" "Kill them all!" Lu Bu said: "It's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go!" Chao Rui said: "It's easy to kill them all
, but are you sure you can find Liu Bei
?" "Huh?" Lu Bu was stunned.
Chao Rui said again: "The people are stupid, how does Jingzhou view the prime minister, how does it view the imperial army?"
"Understood!" Lu Bu said: "Liu Bei, this bastard, is playing with us again
!" "Let him go!" Chao Rui said: "The prime minister intends to be in Jingzhou, not Liu Bei!" "
Okay, I'll listen to you!" Lu Bu nodded.
Chao Rui got up and looked in the direction of Xu Du: "Perhaps, the prime minister has already raised troops at this time!"
At this time, Cao Cao immediately sent troops from Xu Du after learning that Liu Biao had died.
The Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Weinan were two major battles, with countless captured horses and countless elite cavalry.
Cao Cao selected 10,000 of them to be adapted into tiger and leopard rides.
And this tiger and leopard rider is the vanguard of the south, led by Cao Cao himself.
The main army of 500,000 was led by Cao Ren.
The army rushed to Jingzhou non-stop.
Jingzhou, in the city of Xiangyang.
At Liu Biao's funeral, Cai Mao announced the lord's suicide note in public.
The content is not complicated, the eldest son Liu Qi has no virtue, and the second son Liu Cong is ordered to succeed him as the pastor of Jingzhou.
Behind Liu Cong are Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao, who controls military power, as well as the entire Xiangyang faction.
The whole thing went very smoothly and almost no one objected.
Liu Cong, who is not very old, became the new lord of Jingzhou in a daze.
But after Liu Cong became the lord, he said to Cai Mao: "General, I am not as good as my eldest brother, how can I succeed Jingzhou at this time? It is better to welcome my eldest brother back and make him the lord of Jingzhou!"
"Lord, what are you talking about?" Cai Mao was unhappy.
Mrs. Cai also said: "Cong'er, this is your father's last order, do you still want to disobey
?" Liu Cong: "Then can't my eldest brother come back to mourn
?" "No!" Cai Mao said: "Cao Cao has led the army south, Jiangdong is eyeing the tiger, and the eldest son should guard Jiangxia and resist the Jiangdong thieves!"
"Okay!" Liu Cong nodded: "My eldest brother may be able to block Jiangdong, but how can Jingzhou stop Cao Cao?"
