Chapter 327: Unlucky Liu Bei
Zhang Yu and the others rested for the night, and then continued north.
Not long after Zhang Yu left Chang'an, the princes also sent troops.
It is not surprising that the princes sent troops, they thought that after more than ten days, Zhang Yu should have died a long time ago, and at this time they sent troops just for show, picking up cheap if they could, and retreating if they couldn't.
Cao Cao and Guo Jia were still looking for Xu Rong's flaws and planned to attack them, but Xu Rong's defense was very good and he never succeeded.
And Liu Bei also led the army to march slowly in the direction of Chang'an, in Liu Bei's estimation, it has been delayed for so many days, and the news of Zhang Yu's defeat should be received on the way, and it is not too late to retreat.
All the princes made their own ideas and killed them in the direction of Chang'an.
Two days later, Guo Jia received the news.
"Brother Meng De, my lord has been out of trouble, we are about to retreat, Brother Meng De, let's go together, Dong Zhuo's strength is still very strong, and the princes are not aligned, so they can't succeed at all." Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao fell into deep thought and did not answer.
After saying that, Guo Jia went back, he still had to arrange his own affairs, and he had to give Cao Cao time.
However, Guo Jia believes that Cao Cao is a smart man and will make the right choice.
Guo Jia will go to persuade Cao Cao, firstly, Zhang Yu instructed him, and Zhang Yu gave him the opportunity to pit the princes, and secondly, Cao Cao fought side by side with him in the past few days, and he did help them a lot.
After Guo Jia left, several of Cao Cao's generals surrounded him.
"Meng De, it's incredible that Zhang Yu is out of trouble."
"Zhang Yu is a true hero, he is under siege, and he can still get out of trouble."
"Mengde, so it doesn't make much sense for us to continue to attack, and besides, we can't beat it."
The crowd began to ask what Cao Cao meant.
Cao Cao was silent, and it took a long time before he said: "If you don't fight, there is no point in fighting again, now these Han officials have become princes, and even Sun Jian has begun to plan for himself, fleeing south with the jade seal, and the others are only for their own personal interests." ”
Cao Cao also understood that now no one is really crusading against Dong Zhuo, it is nothing more than accumulating capital for himself.
Cao Cao planned to retreat, and he also didn't want to tell those princes that his losses were so big, and these princes still wanted to take advantage.
So Cao Cao and Guo Jia reached a tacit understanding, and they planned to leave by detour and not return the same way.
Zhang Yu retreated, Dong Zhuo suffered such a big loss, so naturally he wouldn't go around talking about it, and Guo Jia and Cao Cao didn't plan to say it.
The princes continued to move forward, and the one who ran to the front was of course Liu Bei, who was the first to set off before.
Although Liu Bei's speed on the road was relatively slow, he set off a few days early, and he was relatively close to the battlefield at this time.
Overnight, both Guo Jia and Cao Cao retreated and disappeared into the battlefield, and they would make a detour to leave.
Liu Bei didn't know it, and plunged into the battlefield.
"Second brother, third brother, there are a lot of people on the roadside here, it's really uncomfortable to see them suffering, it's really uncomfortable for my brother." Liu Bei stopped and said.
"Big brother, can we do anything for them?" Guan Yu said sadly.
"When the war is over, as long as I, Liu Bei, am still alive, I must settle them down." Liu Bei said bitterly.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very moved, but they didn't realize that now that they had stopped, their marching speed was very slow.
Liu Bei is good at calculating, how can he be a person who has done business and sold straw mats, so he naturally calculates the approximate itinerary and time.
After walking for another three days, that is, close to the place where Cao Cao and Xu Rong were fighting.
However, they never encountered any news of the battle between the two sides, and Liu Bei thought that Dong Zhuo's army had retreated, and he was very happy.
"Second brother, third brother, these people are really miserable, we must defeat Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, let them settle down again, and plan to attack quickly for my brother." Liu Bei said to the two.
"It's all up to big brother." Guan Yu said.
Zhang Fei also said: "Kill him a grandma bear." ”
Liu Bei was secretly happy, and immediately led the army to advance quickly.
Along the way, he didn't encounter Dong Zhuo's army.
After walking for two days, no trace of Dong Zhuo's army was found, which made Liu Bei think that his guess was completely correct.
"Kill."
Suddenly, a shout of killing disrupted Liu Bei's thoughts.
An army rushed out from both sides of the road and slew at them.
"Impossible, how could you encounter Dong Zhuo's army first." Liu Bei was stunned, and suddenly encountered Dong Zhuo's army, and he was not prepared at all.
It should have been Cao Cao or Zhang Yu's army first, but I didn't expect it to be Dong Zhuo's army.
"Quick, retreat, retreat." Liu Bei shouted in panic.
Xu Rong's army immediately surrounded it semi-surrounded, and then rushed to kill.
Although Liu Bei's army was in the middle of Zhang Fei, the enemy was several times that of them, and they couldn't parry it for a while.
You can only fight and retreat.
With the efforts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's army was not surrounded, and a bloody road was killed.
It's just that when they come out, Liu Bei is about to cry.
The army, which was originally nearly 10,000, now has just over 2,000.
Liu Bei's heart is dripping blood, this is all his hard work.
Liu Bei hated Zhang Yu to death, without him to do things, without him to occupy Chang'an, the allies would have been able to retreat a long time ago, and there would not be so many things.
But Liu Bei's hatred could not be expressed.
Liu Bei didn't know if he would be suffocated from internal injuries.
"Big brother, what should we do? How can there be a Xiliang army here. Zhang Fei asked.
Liu Bei's head was galloping with thousands of horses, where did he know why.
"The enemy is strong, let's retreat one after another, and then make plans."
How could Liu Bei still care about Zhang Yu at this time, he didn't want to care about it, and he couldn't wait for Zhang Yu to die in Chang'an City immediately.
You must know that Zhang Yu is powerful, if he knows that he is a traitor in the Allied camp, he doesn't know how Zhang Yu will retaliate.
You must know that the Yuan family offended Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu still went to retaliate, what is he a Liu Bei.
Liu Bei led his people to retreat in a hurry, and retreated for dozens of miles in a row.
Xu Rong did not pursue, he had gathered 200,000 troops, and he was originally going to ambush Guo Jia and Cao Cao, but he didn't expect them to retreat long ago, and at this time the unlucky Liu Bei crashed in.
After running for dozens of miles, Liu Bei and others dared to stop and rest.
"Big brother, Dong Zhuo's army is ambushed there, has something happened to Zhang Yu's army?" Guan Yu said worriedly.
"Damn Dong Zhuo, kill so many people." Zhang Fei also said angrily.
Liu Bei almost vomited blood, his two younger brothers didn't care about him losing so many soldiers and horses at this time, but they cared about Zhang Yu.
Liu Bei held his breath and hadn't set off yet.
"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, are you really my nightmare, I hope you die in Chang'an." Liu Bei thought in his heart.
Liu Bei and the others found a hidden place to hide first, and a day later, Liu Bei found that Yuan Shao and the allied army also set off to Chang'an, preparing to continue to attack Dong Zhuo.
"Hmph, let you suffer a loss." Liu Bei thought, so he didn't inform the allies that there was an ambush ahead.
