I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 647, the shamed Yizhou generals

"General, let's retreat to Jingzhou. If it's too late, the Hanzhong army will soon wipe out the entire army!" Yuan Ji said anxiously.

The food and grass of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Hanzhong were all transported to the front line by relying on the middle of Shu in the rear. If Chengdu was breached, it would be equivalent to cutting off the food and grass of the Hanzhong army, and more importantly, half of the army in Hanzhong had military The strength is all the soldiers in the middle of Shu.

Now that Chengdu has been captured by the Dagan Army, and the families of these soldiers have been controlled by the Dagan Army, it is impossible for the soldiers in Central Shu to have the morale of the army at this time. As long as this news spreads, the Hanzhong army may collapse immediately!
The collapse of hundreds of thousands of troops is also what Yuan Ji is most worried about. It will be extremely difficult for them to escape from Hanzhong by then!There is a high probability that they were blocked to death in Hanzhong, and then wiped out by Lei Gong!
Liu Bei was desperate at this time. After fighting for more than ten years, he was still defeated by Lei Gong, and now even the middle of Shu was conquered. It can be said that the big man has entered the countdown. lingering.Even the natural dangers in central Shu could not withstand Dagan's attack, and the land in the south of the Yangtze River was even more impossible.

"It's already too late. We have 20 troops in front of us. They won't see us retreating easily. As long as Lei Gong spreads the news that Shuzhong has been captured to our soldiers, our army will collapse soon!"

Now Liu Bei is so frustrated that he doesn't even want to escape, so he just stays in Hanzhong and is buried with the big man.He can be considered to have devoted all his heart and energy to the great man. He can also say that he has done his best when he meets Emperor Gaozu under the Nine Springs.

But Zhao Yun immediately said: "It's not the time for the general to hold a funeral. The big man has not been completely captured by Lei Gong, and the big man is still waiting for you to rescue him!"

Zhao Yun pointed to the eight counties on the map and said: "General, you can take part of the army to retreat to Berkshire, and then go down the river and return to Jingzhou. There are tens of thousands of elite men in Jingzhou. We may not be incapable of fighting. Bashu The army in the land will be handed over to the subordinates, and the subordinates must try their best to delay the time for Lei Gong to settle in Shuzhong, so as to buy time for the general to defend Jingzhou!"

"Zilong doesn't have to sacrifice like this, the situation in Hanzhong is beyond human power!" Liu Bei said excitedly looking at Zhao Yun, staying in Hanzhong now is a dead end!
But Zhao Yun said: "The big man can lose me, Zhao Yun, but he can't lose you, the general. Although Shuzhong has been captured by the big army, the big man still has Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. The big general may not be able to make a comeback. Now This is not the time to be discouraged. If you give up, the big man is really hopeless!"

Yuan Ji excitedly said: "General Zilong's words are reasonable. The big man can still make a comeback. The general can't give up. Shuzhong can't be kept. We can take Jingzhou's army back! Jingzhou can't be kept, we can retreat to Jiaozhou! As long as With the great general still alive, we still have a chance to take back the world of the great man!"

At this time, Huang Zhong came out and said: "Let the veteran stay here. Zilong is young and promising, and he still needs to protect the general. His subordinates are old. Although they are valued by the general, they have not made any contributions. , now is the time for the subordinates to repay the great general's kindness, so let the subordinates come down and help the general cut off the empress!"

Wenpin immediately said: "This subordinate is good at defensive operations. In the past two years, the front line of Micang Mountain has also been commanded by his subordinates. It is better to let the subordinates come down!"

It was Wenpin and Liu Pan who commanded the defense of the army in Hanzhong, and it was Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong who attacked the rear of Daqian and cut off the road to Daqian. That's why Wenpin said so!
"I'm a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so I should be the one to do it. I think there is no one more suitable for this task than me. I will do my best to drag the big army to Hanzhong!" Liu Pan said out of the line!
Now the big Han has been defeated like a mountain. The nobles in Shuzhong decisively betrayed the big Han, and the current situation in Jingzhou is not much better than that in Shuzhong. Liu Pan is also worried that who among the generals in Jingzhou wants to betray Liu Bei. As far as the emperor is concerned, Liu Bei, a great general of the Han Dynasty, is more important than the emperor!
After Liu Bei thought for a while, he finally decided to let Liu Pan stay on the front line of Micang Mountain, while he led an army of 5 over Micang Mountain to the south of Bajun, and withdrew from Berkshire to Jingzhou.

The generals of the Jingzhou faction were discussing very lively. This scene can be said to be a scene of emphasizing love and righteousness. The emperor regards the ministers as brothers, and the ministers regard the emperor as their confidantes. They all rushed to break Liu Bei's heir.

But the generals of the Yizhou faction were embarrassed. Chengdu was donated by their people, and even Emperor Han was captured and dedicated to Zhang Baiqi by their people. From this perspective, they are Liu Bei's enemies.

But on the other hand, they were also loyal under Liu Bei. They fought bravely in Hanzhong in the past two years and sacrificed their blood for Liu Bei.They also know that their status is embarrassing now, and they are afraid that the generals of the Jingzhou faction are worried that they will sell the army of Hanzhong.So now they dare not speak out, trying to minimize their presence.

Liu Bei understood these Yizhou generals, and said to them: "The general knows that you are involuntary, so I will get together and leave, and I will invite some of you to stay in Micang Mountain for a few days. After Bei's army leaves, you can go back to the city and leave." Let's go home. I hope you all get along well during my time as an official in the same dynasty, and please don't betray the news of the imperial army, and don't chase the imperial army back to Jingzhou!"

Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and others knelt down to Liu Bei in shame and said, "The general's words really make us feel ashamed. If it weren't for the burden of the family, I'm waiting for you to follow the general to go south to Jingzhou!"

Liu Bei's personality charm is still there. Even though Liu Bei searched for food from the aristocrats in central Shu, these people didn't have much opinion, because the aristocrats in central Shu and Hanzhong resisted, and they still felt that the world was stable.

And these frontline generals have seen with their own eyes the strength of the large army and the sharpness of the artillery. They know that if such a large army enters Shu, their family will surely perish. Compared with the rise and fall of the family, a little food and grass are nothing.So not only did Liu Bei's behavior not arouse their dissatisfaction, these generals on the front line also tried to persuade their families!
Liu Bei also trusts them, but it's a pity that this description follows the gentry in central Shu who sacrificed Chengdu and betrayed Emperor Xian to destroy everything. Even if Liu Bei trusts them, they don't have the face to do things under Liu Bei's hands!

Liu Bei said sadly: "Bei understands that if Zhang Baiqi hadn't suddenly appeared in Shuzhong, your families would not have surrendered to the general. After all, it is useless for the general Bei to defend Shuzhong. Everyone is so embarrassing. I hope we will have the opportunity to serve as officials in the same court in the future. You have worked hard for the past two years, generals!"

Liu Bei's words made the generals of the Yizhou faction even more ashamed!
