Liu Bei's side was fighting fiercely, and Chen arrived in the rear, and at this time, he also met Cai Mao's army unexpectedly, and the two sides were forced to be helpless and strangled together.

In this way, Liu Bei supported the army, but all of them were blocked, which bought favorable time for Wei Yan to occupy the west gate.

As more and more Li troops joined the battlefield, Liu Bei's 3,000 elite casualties began to increase rapidly, constantly retreating.

Every time one of these soldiers died, Liu Bei's heart was dripping blood, and seeing that Chen Zhi had not yet appeared, Liu Bei knew that there must have been some accident, so he decided to withdraw to the confluence first.

As soon as Liu Bei led the army to retreat, Li Jun immediately chased after him and was entangled to death.

Halfway through the retreat, Liu Bei learned that Chen Zhi was stopped by someone, and hurriedly led his troops forward.

When he came to the battlefield, he saw that the enemy Cai Mao was in command, and he suddenly realized in his heart, and roared viciously: "Kill all these people!" ”

The remnants of the army who got the order were defeated, and hurriedly went to the battlefield and cooperated with Chen Zhi's army to flank the attack.

Cai Mao's department, which was already struggling to support, was rushed by Liu Bei's remnants, and the formation quickly collapsed, fleeing in all directions.

Seeing this, Cai Mao didn't dare to stay longer, and wanted to retreat with the army, but Liu Bei had already noticed him, how could he let the culprit escape.

"Chase, the one who dismounted just now is the head of the thief, capture him at all costs!"

When Liu Jun heard the order, he chased in the direction of Cai Mao, and Chen Zhi immediately rushed to Liu Bei's side.

"Lord, how is the battle of Simon?"

Hearing about the battle situation at Ximen, Liu Bei's face turned cold, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid Nanyang won't be able to hold it." ”

"Then why don't you kill the lord as soon as possible, lest you ......"

"Kill? Where to retreat? Wuling, Lingling, Changsha, or more remote Jiaozhi? ”

was asked by Liu Bei, Chen Zhi had nothing to say for a while, because in these places, as long as the powerful Li Jun made a move, it was a matter of time before he was broken, and he had no development ability.

"So, what does the lord mean?"

"Hmph, kill Cai Mao first, and then find a chance to kill."

Liu Bei's meaning is already very obvious, anyway, there is no hope, it is better to break the jar, vent to your heart's content, and no longer wronged yourself.

When Chen Zhi heard this, his face did not change, but a trace of strangeness had risen in his heart, after all, following Liu Bei, what he wanted was to get ahead, if he couldn't, then what was the point, it was better to live in seclusion in the mountains and live a stable life, why take the risk of fighting.

Liu Bei was angry at this time, and he didn't pay attention to Chen Dao's faint changes. "Uncle Zhi, you lead the army to block the chasing Li army."

"Yes." was named by Liu Bei, Chen Zhi put away his mind and led a division to form a defensive line.

As Liu Bei desperately pursued, there were fewer and fewer people beside Cai Mao, which made him hesitate, not knowing whether to join Pang Tong and them.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cai Mao finally decided to attract it alone, so as not to put Pang Tong and Mrs. Cai in danger.

A few hours later, Cai Mao had no escape, and was seriously injured in a hard battle, captured, and escorted to Liu Bei.

After wasting so much time to catch Cai Mao, Liu Bei asked with a cold face: "Say, who instructed you?" ”

Regarding Liu Bei's words, Cai Mao chose to be silent and did not answer, he had already made up his mind in his heart, as long as his life was not threatened, he would never answer more.

"Okay, the backbone is quite hard, I want to take a look, this sword is up to the neck, you Cai Mao still don't say a word?"

Looking at the sword in Liu Bei's hand, Cai Mao replied: "Liu Biao's order, Mao doesn't want to, if Uncle Huang wants to take Mao's life, he can do it." ”

"But in this Jingzhou, the Cai family has been in business for several generations, and it is somewhat powerful."

"Hmph." Seeing Cai Mao explain the pros and cons and wanted to threaten him, Liu Bei snorted coldly and said slowly: "Nanyang is about to be lost, what is the Cai family afraid of." ”

Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, it is really possible to do it to himself, after all, when the two sides were in Jingzhou, the conflict has been a long time, and now they must find an excuse to save their lives.

Just as Cai Mao was thinking quickly, Chen Zhi led the remnants to retreat. "Lord, there are too many enemy troops, they can't stop it, most of the city is lost, let's break through quickly."

With such a fast speed, it seems that if you don't go, you really can't go, Liu Bei's eyes rolled slightly, and he ordered: "Behead Cai Mao, and the whole army is ready to break through." ”

Hearing that Liu Bei was going to kill himself, Cai Mao shouted: "Liu Bei, my sister is Mrs. Li Huiyi, if you kill me, you will have no way out, why do you have to block the back road?" ”

Liu Bei sneered: "The people abandoned women, do you think Li Huiyi will care about her, and when it comes to his position, there are many women." ”

Cai Mao was unwilling to roar: "My nephew is Li Huiyi's own son, doesn't Li Huiyi care about him?" ”

Well?

Although Liu Bei had heard about this kind of rumors, Cai Mao admitted it in person, and he was still a little shocked.

"Okay, then you hand over Liu Cong, and I can spare your life."

Handing over Liu Cong is equivalent to handing over Mrs. Cai, although Cai Mao is afraid of death, she will not exchange her sister's life for it.

The reason why Cai Yao said this was just to let Liu Bei sanitize his thoughts. "This is impossible, hand over Liu Cong, will you still have scruples?"

Liu Bei looked at it carefully, and from Cai Mao's expression, he had vaguely guessed something. "Don't say it, it's a big deal to find it yourself, presumably they should still be in the city."

Hearing this, Cai Mao's face changed slightly, her mouth moved, and she didn't say the last word.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was very sure, and immediately had an adventurous idea in his heart. "Uncle Zhi, can Liu's Mansion be captured by the enemy?"

"There shouldn't be yet, and someone has not been sent to pick up Mr. Zhuge yet." Seeing Liu Bei asking about the situation in Liu's mansion, Chen Zhi thought that he was worried about Zhuge Liang's safety.

was misinterpreted, and Liu Bei didn't explain, so he immediately led a large army to escort Cai Mao and rushed to Liu's mansion.

When he arrived at Liu's Mansion, Liu Bei asked Chen Zhi to occupy all the important streets outside Liu's Mansion and let him command the army to defend it.

Seeing that Liu Bei wanted to defend to the death, Chen Zhi hurriedly persuaded him, but Liu Bei refused, so he had no choice but to accept his order.

Liu Bei entered the mansion and ordered someone to invite Zhuge Liang to prepare to discuss the plan in his heart.

Being summoned suddenly, Zhuge Liang was not surprised, because he had long known that Liu Bei would not abandon the city easily.

When he came to the lobby, seeing Liu Bei closing his eyes and looking calm, Zhuge Liang asked, "Does Uncle Huang have any plans?" ”

"Sir is here, sit down." Liu Bei greeted with a smile and said: "In tonight's battle, I have captured Cai Mao, and I have learned some privacy, and I want to make some articles about this." ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang knew what he meant, although he was young back then, he knew more about some of these things than ordinary people.

"Liang Ruo didn't guess wrong, what Uncle Huang said, but Liu Cong is the son of Li Huiyi?"

"Oh? How does the sir know? ”

"Uncle Huang, there have been rumors in this Jingzhou for a long time, but I am afraid that Li Huiyi's generals will not throw a mouse, after all, this matter has not spread in the north."
