"My lord, it's not the Xiangyang Navy Army, or Liu Feng's army." Zhuge Liang calmed down and said to Liu Bei.

"How's that to be?" At this time, Liu Bei also lost his square inch and said.

In this campaign, he raised 3,000 elite soldiers, of which Zhao Yun's 300 cavalry were stationed near the water to guard the ships, and only 2,700 elite soldiers really came to Wancheng.

But in a battle with Cao Jun, although Cao Jun was completely defeated. But as the saying goes, if you kill a thousand, you will lose 800 yourself.

Liu Bei raised his head and glanced at Guan Yu, who was cleaning up the battlefield and counting the soldiers. Looking at it again, the number of people was obviously much smaller than when they came.

Liu Bei couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Now that there has been a bloody battle, the soldiers are tired, and there is a strong enemy on the side, how can you resist the enemy?" Liu Bei turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang, and his lips were dry.

In this situation, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Five or six thousand people, his army is also unafraid even if it is intact. After all, Liu Cong and Liu Feng's armies are not very well-known elites.

But his army had just traveled fifty miles, and then there was another fight. The remaining army is probably less than two thousand, and many others are wounded.

How do you spell this?

Facing Liu Bei's gaze, Zhuge Liang also felt embarrassed in his heart. There is too much difference in strength, and there is nothing to be done. Zhuge Liang frowned, racking his brains to think about it, but there was no good way.

"Big brother, whether it's Liu Cong or Liu Feng, Xiangyang is our battle, I'd rather fight than give it up." Just when Liu Bei was anxious and Zhuge Liang was thinking about it, Guan Yu, who was cleaning the battlefield in front, suddenly rode his horse and said angrily.

For Guan Yu, the desire for a real territory is no less than Liu Bei. He has followed Liu Bei for too long, too long, and has wandered the world.

Now, he is desperate for his life, and with the tragedy of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of himself, he has defeated 1,500 Cao troops.

Seeing that Wancheng is empty, as long as the city is destroyed, it will enter. You can occupy Wancheng, use Wancheng as a base, and encroach on more than ten cities in the entire Nanyang County.

This territory is a little small, but for Liu Bei's forces, it is tantamount to nectar in the desert.

If you have a territory, you will have a foundation, and if you have a foundation, you will no longer have to wander the world. There is capital to compete with the world.

How can you give it to others?

Don't look at Guan Yu's usual eyes, as if he doesn't care about external affairs. In fact, it is the most strong.

Don't say that the other party may be Liu Cong's army, even if it is Liu Feng's army, Guan Yu will not let it either. Don't look at him admiring Liu Feng, he also has some opinions about Liu Bei driving Liu Feng away, but he is Liu Bei's second brother after all.

Seeing Guan Yu riding his horse angrily, Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother is angry, now that the enemy army is strong, there is no chance of winning if you fight hard." Let's see what the military advisor has to do. ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei set his eyes on Zhuge Liang.

Hearing this, Guan Yu turned his head with difficulty and glanced at his own soldiers, and in the end he was wailing, and there were not a few who were scarred.

Liu Bei didn't know, but Guan Yu had already counted the number of people, as well as the situation of the wounded. Know that the casualties are huge.

Although the strategy was successful, Cao Jun's dying counterattack was really fierce.

Of the 2,700 men he brought, no less than 1,000 were killed. The remaining 500 were wounded. That is to say, the combat effectiveness that is still intact, only 1,200 people remain. It can be said that more than half of the casualties were killed, and with such a large casualty, they captured Wancheng. Guan Yu clenched his fists, and a pair of Danfeng's eyes burst with strong unwillingness.

After pondering, Zhuge Liang raised his head, looked at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, if the other party is Liu Cong, we can only give up Wancheng and return to Tun Xinye." But if it's Liu Feng, maybe there are still some opportunities. ”

"What chance?" Having already put all his hopes on Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei immediately asked when he heard this.

"Obey soft." Looking at Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang said these two words with great difficulty.

"No." Guan Yu blurted out his debut. Immediately, Guan Yu looked at Zhuge Liang angrily and said, "It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. The important thing is that the eldest brother is the elder, and Liu Feng is the junior. If the eldest brother submits to Liu Feng, how will he control his subordinates in the future? ”

This is indeed a very serious problem, in this world, there are only juniors who admit their mistakes to their elders, and how can there be elders who are soft to their juniors.

If Liu Bei is soft, he will definitely be majestic and sweep the ground.

Guan Yu considered Liu Bei's dignity and majesty.

But Liu Bei thought about it more, he has now reached a dead end, and the future is slim. Having Wancheng is equivalent to a way of life, and without Wancheng is a dead end.

Dignity seems to be insignificant in the face of life. But on the other hand, it's like what Guan Yu said.

Obeying softness is equivalent to sweeping the floor with majesty, how to serve the public in the future?

The current Liu Feng is equivalent to a stinger inserted into his heart, and if he pulls it out, he will die, and if he doesn't pull it out, he can only endure it.

Liu Bei was in a dilemma. But in the end, Liu Bei still felt that the way to survive was more reliable.

He drove Liu Feng away, and his original intention was to let his biological son Liu Chan inherit his status and power in the future. If Liu Feng was forced to a dead end, wouldn't it have become a joke in the first place?

To survive, wait for the future to lay a territory. Destroy Liu Feng again and get back the shame he received.

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he clenched his fists. Immediately, Liu Bei suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhuge Liang with dead eyes, and said, "How many chances are there?" ”

Zhuge Liang pondered in his heart when he heard this, and said: "Wancheng is located at the top of Jingzhou, if Cao's army goes south, it will definitely bear the brunt." It is very important to us, but for Liu Feng, it is a burden. It is very unwise to occupy it with soldiers. This is one of them. ”

"Go on." Liu Bei thought for a moment when he heard this, nodded and said.

"Back then, the lord did not personally order and cut off relations with Liu Feng. It was Liu Feng who was forced by Tang to send him, so he had to leave Xinye. When he ran away, he was saddled with the notoriety of having an affair with his adoptive mother, and this reputation Liu Feng must not be happy. If the lord can clarify the rumors and restore Liu Feng's reputation. This is beneficial to both parties, and Liu Fengdang will not refuse. This is the second one. ”

Zhuge Liang thought hard about this, and there were only these two reasons. After finishing speaking, he looked up at Liu Bei, and it was he who gave his opinion, but it was Liu Bei who made the final decision.

Liu Bei frowned deeply when he heard this, these two reasons seemed quite big, but the initiative was in Liu Feng's hands.

The former reason is the problem of Wancheng. It is Liu Feng's problem to defeat Wancheng, and it is also Liu Feng's problem to defend it after defeating it.

The latter reason is even more like his unilateral begging Liu Feng to repair the relationship, and he has no confidence.

There is not the slightest initiative. If the time came, he chose to be soft and talked to Liu Feng in a low voice.

Liu Feng still refuses to agree, don't they want to return to Xinye in the same way?

Liu Bei feels that he is like a beggar who needs alms, and the only person who can give him alms is the enemy he offended before. Therefore, he should be kind and even grovel to his enemies.

What a humiliation, how unspeakable.

But in front of Liu Bei, there seemed to be no other choice than groveling, except for whispering. Could it really be that after paying a huge price, he eliminated the living force of Wancheng, and then gave the city to Liu Feng.

Liu Bei felt that such a result was even more unacceptable.

"Big brother." Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's expression change, and couldn't help but speak.

He definitely didn't want to see Liu Bei give in to Liu Feng.

"Second brother, I did something wrong at the beginning. But now, I can't be wrong again and again. For the sake of this city, I can lay down my dignity. Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief and looked at Guan Yudao bitterly.

This is the first time that Liu Bei has admitted in public that he did something wrong to drive Liu Feng away. It can be seen how much Liu Bei regrets it in his heart now, and what things have not happened.

But now he can only taste the bitter fruits of what he has sown.

"Big brother." Looking at Liu Bei's eyes that flashed unwillingly, but had to lower his noble head, Guan Yu's eyes were moist.

Liu Bei has fought all his life, full of pride, and has never really bowed to anyone. Even if he was trapped in Xu Du and was with Cao Ying, it was only a false and wrongful snake.

And now, Liu Bei actually wants to bow his head to Liu Feng, a hairy boy, a man in his twenties.

Guan Yu's heart suddenly cramped, and a wave of remorse rose from his heart, at the beginning, he should have stopped his eldest brother.

When Liu Feng left, only Zhang Fei reacted violently, and although Guan Yu had an opinion on Liu Bei's actions, he did not stop it.

If he had known that he had known that he would have done it with Zhang Fei, he would have stopped Liu Bei from doing that. It will not produce the bitter fruit of today.

As strong as Guan Yu, at this moment, looking at Liu Bei, who was in despair and had to bow his head, he was also full of remorse in his heart.

The two of them are like this, and Zhuge Liang is not like this.

Zhuge Liang can be said to be the fuse that directly caused Liu Bei to drive away Liu Feng, and the Longzhong countermeasures he offered made Liu Bei ambitious and determined to lay a foundation for his son.

This son is, of course, Liu Chan. Because of this, Liu Feng became a stumbling block.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang not only did not stop it, but also persuaded Xu Shu to give up Liu Feng. In this position, Zhuge Liang did the right thing.

The unstable factors that exist in Liu Feng will definitely break out after accumulating to a certain extent. When the time comes, the degree of the outbreak is unacceptable, and it is better to take advantage of Liu Feng's weakness to eradicate it in one fell swoop.

But he, like a mortal, didn't expect Liu Feng's growth to be so rapid. Attacked Jiangxia, occupied Jiujiang, and now got Changsha.

And it is still developing at a rapid pace. It can be said that the power is steaming. One is better than another.

Wait for the news of Liu Feng's defeat of Cao Ren to spread all over the world, and wait for Liu Feng to marry Cai's woman, the Huang family's woman.

What would that look like? So Zhuge Liang also regretted it.

With a heart, the three of them let out a sigh in unison. They were all stunned again, and then they glanced at each other, and they both noticed the bitterness in each other's eyes.

Ay. Man is a sword, I am a fish. Nai, nay.
