"Strategist, what should we do? If there is an ambush outside the West City Gate, we will be like trapped beasts, just waiting for the enemy to come for their lives. Just after Fa Zheng's words, everyone suddenly felt a voice of grief, I don't know if it was because Shu was about to face the death of the country this time, or because the Zhao army invaded the city, and everyone learned that their lives were not guaranteed, so they complained in mourning.

Just when the generals thought they were cornered, they suddenly heard that Fa Zheng spoke again: "Rush out from the east city gate." ”

After hearing Fa Zheng's words, Fei Yi hurriedly persuaded him: "The East City Gate is that Zhao Yu personally led the soldiers and horses, and there are generals Zhao Zilong and ghost talent Guo Fengxiao under his command, I am afraid it will not be easy for us to rush out from the East City Gate." ”

At that moment, I saw Fa Zhengzheng and said: "Although the East City Gate is personally guarded by Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is much less than the nearly 200,000 troops at the North City Gate." Now there is an ambush at the West City Gate, even if we rush out of the West City Gate, once we go out of the West City Gate, there is nowhere to go. The south gate has been lost, not to mention, only the east gate has only tens of thousands of troops. ”

"As long as we gather the soldiers and horses at the North City Gate, escort Your Majesty to the East City Gate, and jointly charge out with the Wei army at the East City Gate. All the way to the east, according to the expected agreement, our Shu and Wei have already made contact with that Eastern Wu, and Eastern Wu is willing to send a support army to support. Although we have not reached Chengdu at this moment, we must already be on the way, if we can rush out of the east gate and go all the way to the east, maybe we will meet the reinforcements of Dongwu. ”

"When the time comes, the soldiers and horses of our Shu State, Wei State and Wu State will gather together, presumably even if the Zhao army has a large number of people attacking the city this time, in addition to staying behind to occupy and pacify Chengdu. The rest of the remaining men and horses did not dare to take the liberty of fighting with our three-way army, after all, these Zhao troops had been attacking the city non-stop this time, and the soldiers under their command were already tired. That Zhao Yu is definitely not, a person who is good at taking risks and attacking, as long as we can be lucky, we can seize a glimmer of life. ”

After Fa Zheng's voice was spoken, Zhuge Liang on the side immediately nodded again and again, and without waiting for the other people to object, he immediately spoke: "What Fa Zheng said is right, this time to rush out from the East City Gate is our only chance, and all the soldiers must work together to protect Your Majesty and rush out." ”

Immediately, Zhuge Liang said to Guan Yu and Chen Zhi on the side: "Guan Yu, Chen Dao, the two of you immediately lead your soldiers and horses to the palace, protect Your Majesty, the royal family and the jade seal, and immediately go to the East City Gate to meet General Zhang Fei." Wei Yan, Fa Zheng, and I immediately led our men and horses to the East City Gate to join forces with the Wei army, preparing to carry out a plan to rush out of the city gate. The rest of the people, half of whom stayed to resist the Zhao army at the north gate for the time being, made all the men and horses go to the south gate to resist those southern barbarian soldiers, and attack the city to block our retreat. You must do the last insistence, once you give up those enemy troops will swarm in, if the east gate is occupied by the enemy army, those Wei troops will not be able to support it at all, and then we will have no chance to survive. ”

When Zhuge Liang's military order was issued, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi immediately led their Feiyu cavalry and Bai Yu soldiers to attack the city to protect Yuxi and Liu Bei's family to leave. As for Zhuge Liang, he also hurriedly went straight to the East City Gate with Fa Zheng and Wei Yan, with a team of 10,000 soldiers and horses, planning to prepare a plan to kill from the East City Gate with Wei soldiers and horses in advance.

The remaining generals Wang Ping, Jufu, E Huan and other generals galloped to the south gate with 10,000 soldiers and horses to resist the entry of the Southern Barbarian army into the city, while the remaining Guan Suo, Feng Xi, Fei Yi and others led more than 10,000 people to continue to stay at the north gate to temporarily block the Zhao army outside the city gate from entering the city. You must know that this is the most life-threatening moment, once the Shu army withdraws all the soldiers and horses from the North City Gate, the more than 100,000 Zhao troops outside will definitely break through the city in an instant. At that time, more than 100,000 Zhao troops will directly attack the city, I am afraid that before these people can run out of the east city gate, the entire Chengdu will already be controlled by the Zhao army, so someone must stay to buy time.

Let's say that Guan Yu and Chen Zhi are the second generals, leading the soldiers and horses all the way to the palace, and it is a time of 100,000 urgency at this moment. Even before the army arrived at the palace, the two had no intention of dismounting, and directly rode their war horses all the way into the palace and went to Liu Bei's bedroom. Seeing Liu Bei talking to his wife and the crown prince Liu Chan in the courtyard, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi immediately turned over and dismounted and bowed: "Your Majesty, the southern gate of Chengdu is broken, Your Majesty hurry up and follow me to kill together, it's too late." ”

In the face of the actions of the two, Liu Bei naturally saw the seriousness of the situation at a glance, and without saying a word, he hurriedly pulled his wife and the prince, and went directly to the horses that Guan Yu and Chen had prepared for the two of them in advance. Directly followed the two of them to the east city gate, although Liu Bei had a lot of words in his heart along the way, he didn't dare to say more, after all, the moment was critical, and it was important to escape.

When everyone arrived at the East City Gate, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zhengzheng were discussing something with Cao Rui and Sima Yi, the sons of the Wei army. As for why Cao Rui was on the battlefield guarding the city gate, it was actually arranged by Sima Yi in advance, it turned out that Sima Yi watched the sky at night last night, and suddenly saw that the wind direction in the sky was originally coming from the east, but suddenly changed to the south wind direction, Sima Yi suddenly felt bad, and knew that there must be an accident in the south. However, the Zhao army is all in the north and east, why is there an abnormality in the south, and then Sima Yi thinks of a question, that is, the land of the Southern Barbarians.

Although Sima Yi didn't know much about Nanban, he also knew a little about it, especially knowing that Nanban people were fickle and liked to admire the strong. Now that Shu is down, the Nanban will definitely jump out to make trouble, and if the Nanban leads the army to join the war, it will inevitably enter from the south gate. The Shu Wei army was all gathered at the east city gate and the north city gate, and the south city gate and the west city gate were not guarded by many soldiers and horses. If the south city gate is broken, there will be chaos in the city at that time, and the lifeblood of the Wei State is in danger, so Sima Yi ordered the generals to take His Majesty Cao Rui to the east city gate early this morning.

Although many people have objections to Sima Yi's approach, after all, the battlefield is a dangerous place, and the so-called daughter does not sit down. And His Majesty is a body of gold that is more noble than the body of a thousand gold, but because of Sima Yi's power and the identity of the prime minister, no one dares to ask.

However, it was not until today, when Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and Wei Yan of the Shu army led the men and horses to come, that everyone agreed that Sima Yi's move this time was a move to gain insight into the heavens in advance. I also feel admiration for Sima Yi to bring His Majesty here, and even some people in the Wei army who were suspicious of Sima Yi before are deeply admired by him at this moment.

From Zhuge Liang's words, Sima Yi was sure that he guessed correctly this time, but Sima Yi did not show any pride. Instead, he looked at the Zhao army gathered outside the city, and said: "According to Sima Yi, the Zhao army outside is trying to gather troops and horses at this moment and prepare to attack the city again. The outside must open the city gate and rush out in one fell swoop before it attacks, otherwise it will be difficult for us to rush out once the Zhao army is attacking the city. ”

As soon as Sima Yi's voice fell, Wei Yan on the side spoke: "Wait, the two generals of our army, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi, are going to the palace with men and horses to greet Your Majesty." We must wait until Your Majesty arrives before we can rush out through the East Gate together, and we must not leave Your Majesty and flee for our lives alone. ”

Sima Yi frowned suddenly, and then said: "From the time the South City Gate broke through to the time you learned the news, the entire South City Gate must have been occupied at this moment. If the enemy army attacking the southern gate at this moment directly leads the troops and horses to come, then we will be sealed here. At that time, even if you want to rush out of this east city gate, it will be impossible, plus the Zhao army outside who is always ready to attack, it will be difficult to fly even if you have wings. ”

When Sima Yi finished speaking, the Shu army commander Fa Zheng couldn't help but speak: "Lord Sima Yi, don't worry, long before I came, our army had already arranged for 10,000 people to go to the south gate to resist, trying to buy time for my majesty. Presumably, under the resistance of 10,000 people, even if the enemy army at the south gate broke through the city gate, it would be difficult to reach here for a while. ”

After hearing Fa Zheng's words, Sima Yi couldn't help but nod again and again and said: "I didn't expect that there were such loyal people in the Shu army, and the southern city gate was broken at this moment. If anyone leads troops and horses to arrive, it is undoubtedly a dead end, and the general who can go must be a man, Sima Yi admires. However, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhao army are all gathered at the North City Gate, and you have come here this time, but you don't know what the battle situation is at the North City Gate? If the north city gate is also breached at this time, then we must immediately run out of the east city gate, otherwise we will inevitably be besieged by the Zhao army and die. ”

Zhuge Liang immediately replied: "Lord Sima Yi, please rest assured that when we came to meet, we had already given the manpower to the people, and we must buy time to hold on to the north city gate, and we must not leave without permission unless we have to." With the bravery and loyalty of the soldiers of our Shu army, those soldiers who remain will definitely stick to the city gate with all their might, and will definitely not evacuate until the last moment. ”

"Report, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi, the two generals, have escorted His Majesty and his family to arrive, and asked the prime minister to give instructions on the next step." Just as everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a shout, but saw a team of people rushing here, led by Guan Yu and Chen Zhi. The carriage behind him was naturally Liu Bei's car, and at the critical moment, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi even protected Liu Bei and the others to arrive smoothly.

As soon as he arrived at the East City Gate, Liu Bei in the carriage couldn't help but jump off the car directly, which immediately caused the soldiers next to the carriage to panic. Before everyone stepped forward to help, I saw Liu Bei go straight to Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng and said: "Prime Minister, military advisor, at this moment, the enemy army has broken through the gate of Chengdu, and my Shu Kingdom is dead, how can I wait?" ”
