Zhang Zhang Lu didn't have any strong generals at all, so he couldn't stand such a fierce attack, and he was in utter misery.

Finally, Bashu reinforcements came.

However, Cao Cao attached great importance to Zhang Ren's first battle, and directly gave up attacking Hanzhong City, and turned his entire army to encircle and suppress Hanzhong's 300,000 troops.

Although the soldiers of Bashu were brave, most of them had never participated in the war.

Of the 300,000 miles, it would be great if there are [-] to [-] elites under Liu Yan's command.

As for the rest, they are ordinary soldiers, whose combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Cao Jun's soldiers who have experienced many battles.

Although Zhang Ren is superb in archery, how can he resist the simultaneous charge of 500,000 troops?

Moreover, although the tiger and leopard riders only have five thousand, they are like swimming dragons in the army, and there is nothing they can do about them.

"It's over, it's over!"

Liu Zhang looked at the battle report of the defeat in the first battle, and suddenly his face became extremely ugly, saying:

"I sent 300,000 people, why are they like paper?"

"These 300,000 people can't even restrain the [-] tiger and leopard riders!"

"What's wrong with Zhang Ren? He lost [-] people in the first battle!"

Now, no matter how salty Liu Zhang is, he can't sit still.

Who can withstand this kind of battle damage?

Originally, there were not many troops, and they lost [-] in the first battle.

Although it is said that because of the arrival of Zhang Ren and Wu Yi, Cao Jun's troops directly gave up attacking Hanzhong.

Hanzhong was saved.

But a total of [-] soldiers were killed in battle!

How could Liu Zhang not feel distressed by this?

These soldiers are the painstaking efforts left by his father, and they are also the foundation of Bashu.

Now that Lao Ben has dispatched more than half of it, not only did he not take advantage of it, but he was also generalized by others.

Fazheng stood up, frowning tightly, and said:

"My lord, I think that since we want to resist Cao Jun, it is better to send all the soldiers and horses together."

"Although Cao's army is fierce, the continuous battle will cause a considerable loss in both food supplies and soldiers' morale."

"Since a direct confrontation is unmatched, why not fight guerrilla warfare directly with Cao Jun."

Hearing this, Liu Zhang had no choice but to agree.

"My lord can't do it!"

At this time, Liu Ba stepped forward abruptly, and said eagerly:

"Although Xiaozhi's words are true, if all the Bashu soldiers are transferred to fight, if Bashu is attacked by surprise, we have no intention of resisting at all!"

Liu Zhang didn't have a backbone in the first place, and he listened to whoever had reason.

After hearing what Fazheng said just now, Liu Zhang thought it was reasonable, so he readily agreed.

However, what Liu Ba said now has some truth.

If it was really attacked by someone, Bashu has no troops, how can it resist?

Fazheng shook his head and said:

"My lord, I'm afraid this matter cannot be delayed."

"Bashu is helpless, my lord can go to Jingzhou to borrow troops from Liu Bei."

"If you don't send troops, there are only 300,000 left in the 23 army. How can you compete with Cao Jun?"

"Liu Bei?"

Liu Zhang was stunned when he heard the words.

Looking for Liu Bei?

Although Liu Bei's Jingzhou is relatively close to Bashu, Liu Bei's ambition is well known.

If he led the army here because of this, wouldn't he let himself hand over Bashu?

Seeing this, Fazheng continued:

"Liu Bei prides himself on being an uncle of the Great Han Emperor, and he cares about the hearts of the people, and now that he holds Jingzhou in his hands, he will definitely not do such treacherous things."

"If he does, even if he stays in Bashu, the soldiers and the people of Bashu will not have a good impression of him."

"Lost the hearts of the people, Liu Bei is no different from dead!"

"My lord, you can imagine that when Tao Qian surrendered Xuzhou, Liu Biao surrendered Jingzhou, and the matter of conquering Xuchang with Xiliang!"

Hearing Fazheng's strong persuasion, Liu Zhang finally agreed, and sent Fazheng and Zhang Song to Jingzhou to ask Liu Bei for help.

After all, the common enemy of Liu Zhang and Liu Bei is now Cao Cao.
