Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 650 Liu Bei Escapes

When Liu Qi returned to Linzi City and made arrangements to find Liu Bei's whereabouts.

Far away from the northeast of Linzi City, in a small village near the Bohai Sea.

This small village looks a little dilapidated. The strangest thing is that there are no people in it, as if it was abandoned.

But this time.

Some distance away from the small village, a black line appeared.

It was a soldier and horse, coming towards the small village.

These soldiers and horses looked a little messy, and they also looked tired, wearing blue clothes and black armor.

Blue flags fluttered as the soldiers walked.

Accompanying them were several carriages and more than a dozen flatbed carts, which were also loaded with many items.

And this army.

It was the Qi army led by Liu Bei who escaped from Linzi City. The [-] forbidden army now only has [-] people.

soon…….

Liu Bei led a group of people into the small village to rest.

After a night of fleeing, he was already exhausted. If there was no hope, he might have given up.

Among the small villages.

After getting some food and replenishing my strength.

Liu Bei called everyone to discuss the matter.

"What is the reason for the situation in Linzi?" Liu Bei asked.

After he discovered that there was an accident at the gate of Linzi, he had already made arrangements.

And Xu Shu, who hadn't gone far, rushed back again, had already made arrangements, and waited for the arrival of Guan Yu and others.

however.

After Guan Yu and others rushed to the palace, they heard the news that the city gate had been breached. The city gate was taken down. Facing the Han army who invaded the city and beat them by surprise, they did not have much chance of winning.

When preparing for a decisive battle.

Xu Shu stood up to persuade him, gave up Linzi City, and fled.

After escaping from the west of the city, he fled for a certain distance and then took a detour. At the same time, in the direction of the first escape, he ambushed two soldiers and horses to prevent the pursuit of the Han army, so as to block and disturb the sight of the Han army.

In this way, they will have a lot more time to escape.

Moreover, if the Han army chased them in the direction they started, they would never be able to catch them. Even if they realized it, they would have already run far, far away, and it would be too late to chase them.

However, what puzzled him was how the Han army took down the city gate.

I heard Liu Bei's question.

Xu Shu and the others lowered their heads, a look of confusion flashed in their eyes, they didn't know how to answer, and there were some guesses in his heart.

Seeing the expressions of Xu Shu and others.

Liu Bei couldn't guess, and sighed: "It's Zizhong!"

After all, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are the only people here, and the city gate is opened from the city, otherwise they would not have to flee overnight and abandon Linzi City. !
Although there are spies of the Han army in the city, it is impossible to take down the city gate with just that few people.

Thereby opening the city gate and letting the Han army enter the city.

In this way, there is only one possibility that such a situation will occur, that is, there is an internal response, and it is self-evident who the internal response is.

Hearing Liu Bei's affirmative question.

Everyone's eyes flickered.

They all knew very well that if it were not for their own internal problems, even if they lost to the Han army, it would not mean that the Han army broke through the imperial capital on the night the Han army arrived.

Faced with such a question.

None of them knew how to answer.

Blame?It doesn't have any effect now, after all, it has become a fact.

No matter what, they have already lost, and they can't pursue it if they want to pursue it. You must know that both Mi Zhu and Mi Fang have already joined Liu Qi's command.

As far as people like them are concerned, unless they fight desperately, they have a slight chance, but their final outcome is basically never to return.

It's better to be silent.

Alas~!

Seeing that Xu Shu and the others did not reply.

Liu Bei also sighed, and did not continue to entangle on this issue, and even if it continued, it would be meaningless.

"Yuan Zhi, do you really have to leave?" Liu Bei asked.

heard.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Ping, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others all looked at Xu Shu.

In Linzi, Liu Bei was originally planning to fight the Han army to the death, and his life and death were up to him. The reason why he fled was because of Xu Shu's suggestion.

But Jian Yong and Sun Qian did not refute and supported Xu Shu's suggestion. They both knew that although they were unhappy with Xu Shu, Xu Shu's ability was one of them.

Among them, Xu Shu is the only one who can change it. Except for Xu Shu, none of them have such ability.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is the only way to guarantee the fire of Qi. If we fight against the Han army, we will wait...!"

Speaking of this, Xu Shu didn't continue talking, and what he didn't say at the end, he could understand what was going on after thinking about it.

"But, once you leave, it will be very difficult to set foot in the Central Plains in the future!" Liu Bei said tangled.

Of course he knew the meaning of Xu Shu's unfinished words, which was nothing more than annihilation in the hands of the Han army.

However, when the Han army invaded Linzi City, this is an undeniable thing. Without the support of the city wall, it is not surprising that they were defeated in the face of the Han army who was almost the same.

Otherwise, in the end, because of Xu Shu's persuasion, the defenders in the city would not be used as cannon fodder and only lead the forbidden army to escape from the city.

Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei seriously, and said: "Your Majesty, even though that is the case, as long as we leave, then we still have a chance. In the worst case, we can stay in one place and preserve Qi. Will be buried in the land of the Central Plains!"

"I obey His Majesty's decision, no matter what decision I make, I will follow closely and never leave!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Bei with firm eyes. He was just planning the way out for Liu Bei, but if the battle came to the end, he was also fearless.

heard.

Liu Bei looked at the others and said, "What do you think?"

"Your servants obey the imperial order!" Guan Yu and the others cupped their hands.

There was also a firm look in his eyes, waiting for Liu Bei's decision.

Looking at the determined expressions of everyone.

Hesitation also flashed in Liu Bei's eyes. According to his thinking, he didn't want to escape in such a mess, even if he died in battle in the end.

But now he has figured it out, and the people who didn't want to follow him for a long time were all buried in Qingzhou.

thought here.

He opened his mouth and said: "In this case, I will leave. If there is a chance, I will come back to avenge this arrow. It is not too late to prevent the Han army from reacting and surround them again. After half a stick of incense, I will use the dock to go out to sea." !"

"promise!"

Xu Shu and others responded.

This is the way out that Xu Shu thought of, which is to go to sea, leave the land of Qingzhou, and leave the land of the Central Plains.

And there is a dock not far from here, which is used to build large ships in preparation for war, but they did not expect to use such a place.

This is also the reason why they fled westward from Linzi and then turned around.
