Chapter 1054 - Someone Takes the Blame

On the way, Liu Bei said with great relief: "Without you and the other three, Uncle Huang will be at rest." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

He cried again: "Although Uncle Benhuang escaped, what can the soldiers do? ”

Wang Tixin said that it was not all Pang Tong's fire plan that was discovered that led to such a fiasco? However, he was silent on the surface, and said: "The enemy army is behind, you can't stay, the lord can go all the way west to Zigui City to rest." There are still 20,000 horses stationed there in the hands of the Fazheng army division, which should be able to resist the northern Xinjiang army for a while. ”

Only then did Liu Bei remember that his other military advisor was in Zigui City at the moment.

It turned out that Fa Zheng did not follow Liu Bei's order and led the entire army to Xiangyang for reinforcements, which made him very annoyed and thought that he had been disobeyed.

Although what happened later proved that Fa Zheng's move of not fully supporting Xiangyang City was correct, otherwise the Yizhou Army would definitely be cut off by the outflanked Guan Yu after Jiangling City was taken by the Northern Xinjiang Army, and maybe the whole army would be wiped out on the way back from Xiangyang to Yiling. However, Liu Bei, who was furious at the time, almost killed Fa Zheng, and finally spared Fa Zheng's life under the persuasion of the generals in Yizhou, but he sent him to the rear and asked him to return to Zigui with 20,000 horses to supervise the transportation of grain and grass for the army.

At this time, Liu Bei actually didn't want to meet Fa Zheng, because he had the current results, all because he didn't listen to Fa Zheng's advice and insisted on a decisive battle with Li Yi's Northern Xinjiang Army.

It's just that now he has no choice but to flee back to Zigui, so he has no choice but to retreat in the direction of Zigui.

The next day, Liu Bei led the rout into Zigui City, and the generals of the Yizhou Army fled back.

Liu Bei counted it, and lost a total of 2340,000 soldiers and horses, and now Zigui City, plus Fa Zheng's 20,000 horses, there are only 50,000 people left.

In the conference hall, Liu Bei had a sad face, the hall was full of generals from the local forces in Yizhou, and Zhou Cang and the others went to recuperate from their injuries. Thinking of the high spirits when he led an army of 300,000 out of Sichuan a few months ago, but in a blink of an eye, there were only so many people left, Liu Bei no longer had the original ambition, only afraid that Li Yi would chase and kill all the way.

Zhang Song said with relief: "Don't worry, my lord, Li Yi and Jingzhou have not been recovered." And I am in danger everywhere in Yizhou, he will never give up on the easy risk, he will definitely hit Jingzhou first. After the lord retreated to Xichuan, he could send a general to garrison in the Wushan area to guard against the Northern Xinjiang Army. ”

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and it made sense to say this in his heart, Li Yi will definitely pacify Jingzhou first, and I still have time to arrange defense. The hateful Pang Tong caused me to lose 300,000 horses, and I don't know if this kid is dead.

Zhang Song observed his words, twisted his waist violently, immediately shed tears in pain, and suddenly cried loudly: "Lord, I and other Yizhou soldiers are loyal to the lord, 400,000 people from Shu Yizhou have left Sichuan, and now only 50,000 have returned. Lord...... Woo woo, we Yizhou people are bitter. ”

As a result, Meng Da, Li Yan, Wu Yi, Lei and other generals of the Yizhou Army were all sad and indignant.

Liu Bei was greatly embarrassed, in this Jingzhou battle, his men lost more than 300,000 people before and after. Looking at these Yizhou generals under his command, they were all unhappy in their hearts, and they were a little apprehensive in their hearts.

This time to enter Jingzhou, if it is a big victory, it will naturally be able to convince the people of Yizhou. But now that it's a big defeat, it's going to be troublesome this time. If you want to calm the anger of these Yizhou army generals, you definitely need a black pot.

But this pot is too big and heavy, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to carry it himself, so who should he find to carry this pot?

Just when Liu Bei was muttering in his heart, the person who carried the black pot came. I saw Pang Tong running in with a disgraced face, and his left hand shook subconsciously, but unfortunately the pu fan had already been thrown away.

After entering, Pang Tong saw that the faces of the generals of the Yizhou Army were not good, and Liu Bei was also gloomy. He suddenly felt a stir in his heart, and his heart said that it was broken, this was to take advantage of my absence to encourage Liu Bei to take me under the knife.

When Liu Bei saw Pang Tong, he thought that his dream had flown away, and the army of more than 300,000 was gone, and this dream might not be able to come back again. So he was furious, slapped the case, pointed at Pang Tong and said angrily: "Pang Shiyuan, you mountain and wild villager, you ruined my 300,000 army in one fell swoop, can you be guilty?!" ”

Pang Tong was heartbroken, and said that Liu Bei was too anxious, and he was going to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Pang Tong's face is constantly changing, and there is no doubt that he has failed in his strategy, so it is certain that he is responsible, and it is useless to quibble. So, Pang Tong bowed deeply and said loudly: "Lord, the fire is monstrous, and the Northern Frontier Army has no losses, this matter is strange and needs to be investigated in detail." ”

Wang Lei was furious, came out and pointed his nose and scolded: "Pang Shiyuan, all my more than 300,000 Yizhou people were destroyed by your hands, you don't say that you are guilty, but you shirk responsibility in every way." Something is wrong, it's just your lack of planning. I, the people of Yizhou, have asked for war many times, but you have blocked it. You didn't succeed in your plan, so you had such a fiasco......"

Pang Tong glared at Wang Lei angrily and was speechless.

Meng Da, Li Yan and other generals of the Yizhou Army also stood up one after another, accusing Pang Tong of holding power and respecting himself, not listening to others, and being stubborn and self-serving, which led to this defeat.

"If the lord doesn't kill this person, it's not enough to calm the resentment of the Shu people!" The generals said together.

When Pang Tong heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, so he knelt on the ground straight, shook his empty left hand lightly, and looked at Liu Bei with his head high.

"You're a defeated general, and you're still so arrogant?"

"This person is really hateful, and not killing him is not enough to calm his anger!"

……

Seeing this, the Yizhou generals became even more angry.

Liu Bei thought that he could have won the victory, so as to sweep the world and become the lord of the Han Dynasty, so that he could have the glory of Emperor Guangwu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. No matter how hard you work and carry it forward, it is the glory of Emperor Wu of Han, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it will be bleak in front of you. But all this was wiped out with the destruction of more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.

"Come on, pull Pang Tong out and cut it down!" Liu Bei shouted.

There were soldiers of the Yizhou Army on the left and right, all of them were uneven, rushed forward, and dragged Pang Tong out.

At this time, Fa Zheng suddenly stood up and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, victory and defeat have been a common thing in soldiers since ancient times. In this defeat, Shi Yuan did make mistakes, but for the sake of his hard work in Shu, he also asked the main public network to open up. ”

Although Liu Bei hated Pang Tong, this person was talented, and he was a little reluctant to kill him. Now Fa Zheng opened his mouth to intercede for him, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said, "Wait! ”

Zhang Song and the others originally saw that Pang Tong was dead, and secretly gloated, but they didn't expect Fa Zheng to stand up and dissuade them, and they were taken aback when they saw this, and hurriedly bowed: "The lord can't!" Pang Shiyuan's crime is extremely evil, and not killing is not enough to calm the anger of the public! ”

Liu Bei ignored it and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, so you don't need to say more." However, the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and he will be punished for thirty boards, and then escorted back to the CD to find a house and shut it up and think about it behind closed doors. Without the order of Uncle Ben, it is forbidden to come out, and no one is allowed to see it. ”

Seeing this, the generals and strategists of Yizhou did not dare to say anything more.

After dealing with Pang Tong, the scouts came to report, and the pursuing forward cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army was about to arrive at Zigui City.

"Lord, now our army ......" Fa Zheng hesitated for a moment and did not continue. He really couldn't figure out what Liu Bei was thinking now, but now that his army was newly defeated, his morale was completely gone, and his troops were at an absolute disadvantage, he could no longer confront the Northern Xinjiang Army head-on.

"Withdraw." Liu Bei said lightly, "By the way, find an opportunity to kill Li Yi." ”

………………

Wuxia starts from the salt water of Wushan County, ends at Ziguiguan Ferry, with a total length of more than 100 miles, and is called the Great Gorge. Along the way, it is beautiful and deep, and it is famous for its handsomeness.

Wuxia Gorge is long and deep, the strange peaks are abrupt, the mountains are stacked, the clouds and mist are around, the river is tortuous, a hundred turns and a thousand times, the boat travels in the meantime, it is like entering a wonderful gallery, full of poetry and picturesqueness. "Wanfeng is majestic and a river, and the key is magnificent" is a true portrayal of it.

On both sides of the gorge river, the green mountains are continuous, the peaks are like a screen, the boat travels in the gorge, sometimes the mountains are current, and the stone plug is doubtful; Suddenly, the peaks and loops turn, and the clouds open a different sky, like a gallery with twists and turns.

Looking at the billowing smoke and dust brought up by the retreat of the Yizhou army in the west, Mu Guiying asked Li Yi: "Husband, can we fight?" ”

"Fight, we must fight, and we must wipe out Liu Bei's troops east of Yanshui at all costs." Li Yi said with a smile, "Liu Bei still has more than 50,000 people left, and if you count the army left behind in Yizhou, it will reach 100,000." If he returns to Yizhou safely, it will be very unfavorable for us to enter Yizhou in the future. Therefore, we must defeat Liu Bei before they return to Yizhou. ”

"Eat Liu Bei, the strength of the Yizhou army will be drastically reduced, and we can take back Wushan and Yufu City without blood. Otherwise, we won't be able to reclaim these two counties this winter. Without tens of thousands of troops, it simply could not be defeated. ”

Zhai Ya looked at Li Yi and asked worriedly: "But now Liu Bei still has more than 50,000 people in his hands, and it is difficult to fight." It can't be Liu Bei's tricks, right? ”

Li Yi laughed, he gave Zhai Ya a thumbs up, and said, "Ya'er Gao, Liu Bei really has tricks, he wants to eat us." He's playing this trick well. ”

Zhai Ya asked strangely, "Why did the husband say that?" ”

"If his troops are held together and always guard against our cavalry raids, we really can't do anything about it. It's like a pack of wild wolves surrounding a herd of bison, and the bison are all facing the wild wolves, and the wild wolves have to walk with their butts in a stupid way. ”

"But now Liu Bei wants to take revenge and dig a trap to eat us, and the opportunity has come."

"Husband, are you sure?" Although Mu Guiying admired her husband's talent very much, she couldn't help but be a little suspicious when she saw him sitting by the fire for a long time, chatting casually with herself and Zhai Ya, as if he was joking.

Li Yi laughed, laughed very happily.
