Chapter 1061: Retreat early tomorrow morning

Not to mention that Liu Bei was already secretly preparing to escape Jiangxia and go to Yizhou.

In Yangzhou, Zhou Yu didn't have Pang Tong's luck, but he kept competing with Pang Tong to see who could get the gunpowder first.

That huge explosion attracted many soldiers, and it was naturally discovered by the spies in Yangzhou.

I don't know how Pang Tong came up with it, but Zhou Yu immediately sent someone to inquire directly.

In addition, Cao Cao, who was also in Jiangxia, also came directly to the door.

But Liu Bei covered the formula and didn't give it to anyone.

Zhao Hui was only three days away from Jiangxia, and he also received the news, which was indeed very unexpected.

"It doesn't matter. They can't hold Jiangxia. Now it is even more important to guard against Liu Bei's escape. Zhao Hui said.

"If Jiang Xia can't hold it, where will Liu Bei flee?" Xu Shu said.

"Liu Bei is nothing more than Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou now, and these three places can be visited." Guo Jiadao: "But there is Sun Ce in Yangzhou, it is unlikely." Shi Xie has been in Jiaozhou for decades, and Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, and Liu Bei is most likely to flee to Yizhou. ”

"All roads into Yizhou are blocked, and all water and land routes are set up to set up posts and ambushes." Zhao Hui said.

He won't let Liu Bei escape to Yizhou.

Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a weak Liu Zhang is not to worry.

But if Liu Bei really escaped to Yizhou, especially since Liu Bei now also mastered the manufacture of gunpowder.

If Liu Bei is really allowed to escape into Yizhou, Zhao Hui wants to sweep the world, and this time may really have to be pushed back a few years, or even more than ten years.

The original history, even if Liu Bei died, Adou, who was assisted by Zhuge Liang, persisted for decades before being eliminated.

Liu Bei is now forty years old, and there are at least twenty years left, and Pang Tong is assisting him for decades.

Even if Zhao Hui is a few years younger than Liu Bei, he can't stay up for this time.

Cheng Yuanzhi, Pei Yuanshao, Gao Ran, and others were all sent out by Zhao Hui.

By water and land, all roads leading to Yizhou were guarded by Zhao Jun.

Zhao Hui was not afraid that Liu Bei would go to Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, these two states were not difficult for Zhao Hui to conquer.

He had warships and sailors, and he could land directly on the coast of Yangzhou Jiaozhou.

Zhao Hui's army is still fifty miles away from Jiangxia, a day's journey.

After noon tomorrow, we will almost be able to reach the city of Jiangxia.

In Jiangxia City, Cao Cao would come to see Liu Bei every day for the past two days, and the purpose was naturally to get the formula of gunpowder from Liu Bei's hands.

Even though Liu Bei kept saying that it had not been developed yet, Cao Cao and the people sent by Zhou Yu did not believe it.

Liu Bei still wants to rely on the formula of this gunpowder to turn over, and he naturally won't reveal it.

Moreover, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are all allies who are ready to be abandoned, and they will not share the gunpowder formula with them at this time.

On the one hand, to deal with Cao Cao and Zhou Yu, Sun Ce's envoys, Liu Bei on the other side was also secretly ready.

Wife and concubine or anything, Liu Bei doesn't plan to bring it.

In addition to Pang Tong, Liu Bei was only ready to take away a few people such as Jian Yongmizhu who had been following him all along.

Guan Zhang has become a prisoner of Zhao Hui, and Liu Bei now has no fierce generals in his hands.

However, this time he went to Yizhou, and Liu Bei didn't think about taking Yizhou by force.

Slowly infiltrated, and finally Li Dai was stiff, which has always been Liu Bei's forte.

"Zhao Jun will be in the city tomorrow, can Prime Minister Cao Cheng have a way?" Liu Bei said.

In order to be able to abandon Cao Cao, Liu Bei will not leave until the last moment.

"What else can I do, Xuande, you already know the formula of gunpowder, whether you can hold Jiangxia this time depends on you." Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao's prime minister has long been dismissed by Zhao Hui, but in the mouths of Liu Bei and Sun Ce, Cao Cao is still called prime minister.

"It was just an accident that day, and I tried it a few times later, and although it could make a loud noise, I still haven't figured out the reason for the time being." Liu Bei said.

"If the prime minister has no choice, you and I will prepare well today, and go down the river early tomorrow morning to Yangzhou to join Sun Ce." Liu Bei said.

He would not reveal his purpose to Yizhou to Cao Cao.

"I'll go get ready." Cao Cao said.

Jiang Xia couldn't hold it, if it weren't for Zhao Jun's land route, they should have run away ten days ago.

Sun Ce's army is not in Chibi now, and the 100,000 sailors are still under the command of Zhou Yu, all of them are in Panyang Lake.

The other infantry are now also stationed in Jianye.

After Cao Cao left, he immediately recruited Xun Yu Chengyu and others.

Liu Bei has Pang Tong, but the resourcefulness of Xun You and others is no worse than Pang Tong.

"Liu Bei said that he will leave Jiangxia by boat early tomorrow morning and go to Chaisang." Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu said: "Liu Bei must already have the formula for gunpowder in his hands. ”

"But he said no."

The current Liu Bei is not something that Cao Cao can knead at will.

Although they fled to Jiangxia together, it is still Liu Bei who dominates now.

Even if he was sure in his heart, Liu Bei must have known the gunpowder formula, but Cao Cao had no way to get it.

He couldn't force Liu Bei now.

"Going to Chaisang may not be Liu Bei's real purpose." Xun Yu Dao.

"Gongda has thought of something." Cao Cao said.

"Liu Bei already has the gunpowder formula in his hand, and he doesn't want to share it with us, what will he do next?"

"Leave us behind and flee alone." Cao Cao exclaimed.

If it weren't for Xun You's reminder, Cao Cao really didn't think of this layer.

They are people in the same boat, and when they join forces, they have little chance of surviving, let alone abandoning one of them.

However, Liu Bei already has gunpowder in his hand, and if he goes to Chaisang, that is Sun Ce's territory, Liu Bei will definitely not be able to keep the gunpowder formula.

Therefore, Liu Bei will definitely not go to Chaisang.

As soon as Xun Yu mentioned it, Cao Cao thought of a lot.

If Liu Bei really wanted to go to Chaisang, he should be friendly with Sun Ce now, and he should take the initiative to hand over the formula of gunpowder, instead of cherishing himself with a broom.

"Then you say, where will Liu Bei go?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun You said: "Yangzhou is eliminated, and only Jiaozhou and Yizhou are left." ”

Guo Jiajia said that they could guess where Liu Bei would flee, and Xun You and they could naturally guess it.

And with their wisdom, after identifying these three places, it is easy to rule out the other two.

"It seems that Liu Bei wants to go to Yizhou."

"Cao Gong, Liu Bei is going to Yizhou, what should we do?" Cheng Yu said.

If Liu Bei didn't have the formula for gunpowder in his hand, no matter where Liu Bei went, Cao Cao wouldn't care.

But now, he needs to get the formula of gunpowder from Liu Bei, and he can't let Liu Bei leave him.

"Let people keep an eye on Liu Bei, don't let him escape." Cao Cao said.

Early tomorrow morning, he will always follow Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei wanted to escape, he would force Liu Bei to go to Chaisang.

At least unite with Sun Ce and ask for the formula of gunpowder from Liu Bei.
