Hedong.

Liu Bei successfully withdrew, but he was not happy at all in his heart, he stood in the east of the river, looking at Guanzhong, his expression was very gloomy.

"Any news?"

He's waiting.

Knowing that there was no hope, he still hoped for a miracle.

"Just got the news!"

Lu Boyu arched his hand and said: "The Son of Heaven was forcibly held hostage by Cao Jun!" ”

"I'm asking about Yun Chang!"

"Second general......" Lu Boyu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Captured!" ”

"Not dead?"

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

This may be the most difficult choice in his life, if Guan Yu does not protect the Son of Heaven, who in the world will believe that he Liu Bei is alone to lead the enemy, instead of leaving the Son of Heaven to escape.

"It's true that he didn't die, but he was captured alive!"

"Captured?"

There was a chill in Liu Bei's pupils: "There are people in the world who can capture the clouds!" ”

"Although the second general is brave, he is alone and difficult to beat!" Lu Boyu comforted, and then said: "Lord, we can't stay here, whether it's Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, once we have our hands freed, we will definitely be cleaned up!" ”

"Zilong!"

"In!"

"Prepare to go north!"

Liu Bei is also a resolute person, naturally he knows that he can't be here with the kindness of a woman, Guan Yu is not here, he has given his trust to Zhao Yun, even if he is very worried about Guan Yu, he can't do anything at this time: "On the day I return to Youzhou, I will talk to him Cao Mengde, presumably he will not dare to kill my beloved general!" ”

If on the battlefield, he believed that Cao Cao would definitely kill him, but after being captured, Cao Cao had no need and would not make him a great enemy.

Now, the most important thing for him is to return to Youzhou.

………………………………

Mu Jing couldn't take care of the follow-up things on the battlefield in Guanzhong, so he arranged the affairs of Chang'an, and led the army to enter Wuguan along Lantian, and then went south from Wuguan to Nanyang.

Before, he was just worried.

But after entering Nanyang, he completely felt that the situation in Jingzhou was much more severe than he imagined.

The defeat of the herdsmen in Jingzhou began with the Jiangdong Army, but it did not reach the Jiangdong Army, which attacked the main force of the herdsmen on the Yangtze River, so that the herdsmen were quickly defeated, and the main force of the herdsmen was almost injured.

But as long as the battlefield is contracted, the herdsmen can still bear it.

But the herdsmen were too rampant before.

The layout is too offensive and not defensive.

The Jingzhou army began to exert force.

Changsha suddenly killed a main force of Jingzhou, took Wuling directly, and the soldiers came to the city, killed the Wuling herdsman, and forced back a hundred miles before gaining a firm foothold.

This defeat is considered a defeat.

The successive defeats have made the entire battlefield out of control.

At this time, the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army did not have any intention of stopping, and within a few days, the main force of Jiangdong began to increase its troops, and the Jingzhou Navy continued to move closer to Yiling.

Yiling is the only pass of the herdsmen.

Once this pass is lost.

Then the battlefield on the waterway can only retreat to the White Emperor City.

This is tantamount to returning to Yizhou.

Extending the war back to Yizhou is something that no one wants to see.

………………

Yiling Water Village.

The main force of the herdsman army still remains, stretching the north and south banks of the river, establishing water villages one after another, strengthening the defense, and preparing to fight to the death with the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army here.

In the water village, above a military hall.

Xi Zhicai's expression was a little pale.

Part of it was because he was wounded, he was raided by a straight one, and he kept losing and bruised him, not a serious injury, but for a scholar like him, it was enough for him to bear.

The other part is because his mood at this moment is as pale as his expression.

It's not that Xi Zhicai hasn't been defeated.

It's just never been so defeated.

This battle was definitely a sledgehammer that knocked him out of his pride.

The herdsmen crisscrossed the four fields, killed from Guanzhong, captured Hanzhong, took Yizhou, Zhennanzhong, laid the foundation in the southwest, what a scenery, if there is a very meritorious service, he asked himself to have two points in it.

Mu Jing personally led the army to the north to participate in the battle of Guanzhong, he was alone in charge of the battle of Jingzhou, he was high-spirited, the battle of Guanzhong absorbed the attention of too many people, if at this time, take Jingzhou in chaos, it is enough to make the Ming Marquis Mansion the strongest prince in the world.

But it was this pride that made him a little out of control.

Please enter the Jiangdong Army.

This is a lot of thought, and there is no regret, but because Mu Jun thinks he is too strong, he will not guard against the Jiangdong Army, and at this time, the Jiangdong Army suddenly stabbed him, and the injury can be imagined.

"Koto Sun!"

Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed slightly, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a gloomy killing intent, he had never suffered such a big loss, this was his shame, he had to sweep Jiangdong in person before he could die of this shame: "I won't wait too long, even if I lose today, one day, I will step on Jiangdong!" ”

Hatred is not going to solve the current situation.

Now that the main forces of Jiangdong and Jingzhou have approached Yiling, Yiling is lost, which is equivalent to the loss of the Yangtze River waterway, and even the Jiangdong Jingzhou coalition army will break into Yizhou, if they are a little more ruthless, it is not impossible to directly enter Jiangzhou City.

Therefore, this battle cannot be lost.

"Report to the drama Sima, the Jiangdong warship has approached my water village for twenty miles!"

"Probe!"

Xi Zhi did not become decadent because of this battle, although he was defeated, he was able to bear the defeat, and he is still very stable, which also made the military spirit below stable.

"No!"

Scouts give up their hands.

"Xi Sima, please attack!" Chen Zhi surrendered his hand and asked for his life: "The active attack is the best defense, at this time, we can't rely on defense to defend Yiling, we must attack!" ”

"Rest easy, it's not the time yet!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head.

His eyes fell on a young man in Tsing Yi, if he wants to say that his life can be picked up, there are many more people who have it, but it's a pity that this person's layout.

This is Zhuge Liang.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Cang, ambushed Huarong Dao, what the intention was, it was too clear.

In fact, there is hope for this battle.

Once he can force Cai Mao to give up Jingzhou City, Zhuge Liang's plan will be considered a success.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven.

Who didn't expect that Jiangdong would give the pastoral army a fatal blow at this time, which pushed the pastoral army directly into a desperate situation, Zhou Cang and Zhuge Liang took the risk to kill from Huarong Dao, so that the main force of the pastoral army escaped from this battle.

Otherwise, if he plays Zhicai, he will really be wiped out and the army will be defeated and die on the Yangtze River.

"Little Zhuge , what are you thinking?" Xi Zhicai spoke.

"Report to the drama Sima, I'm thinking, can't I jump out of the battlefield!"

Zhuge Liang was not apprehensive, he had a good impression of Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai was older than him, he learned above him, his ability was above him, he was a person he wanted to learn very much, and he even imitated the rhythm of Xi Zhicai when he did things.

He is not the Zhuge Kongming who has been cultivating his qi in Longzhong for more than ten years, is not shocked by honor and disgrace, and has learned five cars, but he is just a young man who has not been able to calm down and learn more knowledge, and some young people are just pulling seedlings to help him.

"Jumping out of the field?"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

The authorities are confused.

He felt that he didn't see this more clearly than Zhuge Liang.

"How?"

Xi Zhicai was as calm as a mountain, his face remained unchanged at all, as if everything was insignificant, and he continued to ask indifferently, he just wanted to know how many talents this young man had.

"Don't they want to Yiling, and what about giving them to?"

Zhuge Liang was a little apprehensive, in front of Xi Zhicai, he was somewhat unable to let go, but he still calmly thought about himself: "Yiling is difficult to defend, it is nothing more than a battle of attrition, we can give up Yiling, and then find a way to take the initiative again, otherwise this battle will not be able to continue!" ”
