Everyone hurriedly helped Liu Bei up and shouted for a long time, Liu Bei woke up quietly, he was speechless, his eyes were empty, and his expression was depressed.

"Holy Lord, take care of the dragon body! It's just a temporary failure. Chen Zhen cried, Cheng Ji didn't dare to persuade him, but just grinned and cried bitterly.

Alas~ After a while, Liu Bei let out a long sigh, barely took a step, staggered, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help, Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "I am old, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer the battlefield again." ”

"The saint is in the prime of life, why do you say this, gather soldiers and horses in the coming day, and you will definitely be able to pocket Jiangdong!"

Chen Zhen kept comforting Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was listless and couldn't lift his spirits at all. At this moment, another group of more than 100 Shu troops rushed wildly, and in the woods behind them, smoke and dust suddenly rose, and the army of Jiangdong chased after them.

Because Liu Bei never thought about the retreat of failure, the river did not dock the ship in advance at this time, and at the moment, it seemed that he could only run along the river bank.

Liu Bei rubbed his face vigorously with his palms, cheered up, and led everyone to run upstream along the river, running out for about five miles, but suddenly found that a dangerous peak plunged into the river, blocking the road ahead.

The sound of the horse's hooves of the chasing soldiers behind was clearly audible, Liu Bei had no way to enter the ground and no door to the sky, and he was about to be captured by the Jiangdong army, so he was infinitely desolate, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Second brother, third brother, my brother will go to meet you soon!" ”

At this moment, dozens of warships suddenly came upstream, and on the bow stood a young general, with a red face and a large sword, majestic and unstoppable. Liu Bei's eyes were in a trance for a while, and he asked suspiciously: "Shicai is talking about the second brother, he can't wait like this, and he has already come to pick me up?" ”

"Holy Lord, it's General Guan Xing!" Chen Zhen hurriedly reminded happily.

Liu Bei fixed his eyes and saw that it was his nephew Guan Xing, and his heart was full of ecstasy of being reborn in a desperate place. Everyone hurriedly shouted loudly, Guan Xing moored the warship to the shore, Liu Bei didn't care about talking to Guan Xing, and hurriedly led the crowd to get on the boat.

At this time, Lu Xun had already led tens of thousands of horses to chase over, but Guan Xing's warship could not accommodate so many people, and there were still a few hundred people left.

"Holy Lord, please take care of the dragon body! Cheng Ji will tie the grass ring in the next life, and then come to repay the great kindness of the saint! Next to the warship, Cheng Ji, who had not boarded the ship, suddenly kowtowed to Liu Bei a few times, and before Liu Bei could react, he suddenly made an astonishing move, raised the short knife in his hand, beckoned the remaining soldiers around him, and rushed to meet Lu Xun's army.

The river breeze blew away Cheng Ji's gray hair, and his thin body looked so fragile from behind, Liu Bei let out a sad cry: "Ji Ran! ”

"Holy Lord, hurry up and sail, I'm afraid it's too late to hesitate." Guan Xing reminded.

"How can I abandon Ji Ran and go?" Liu Bei said bitterly.

"I can't wait to save him!" Chen Zhen's hatred for Cheng Ji was still unanished, and without waiting for Liu Bei's orders, on the grounds of protecting the saint, he resolutely ordered the big ship to be launched, and Guan Xing did not stop it, and the warship slowly sailed off the shore, getting faster and faster.

Liu Bei crouched on the edge of the boat and stretched out his hand and shouted: "Ji Ran! I'm waiting for you to come back! ”

"With the words of the saint, Cheng Ji died without regrets, so say goodbye!" Cheng Ji turned around and shouted with tears in his eyes, rode his horse and raised his sword, and led hundreds of soldiers to continue forward.

Lu Xun saw Liu Bei boarding the warship from a distance, and hurriedly urged the army to come forward to intercept it, but saw Cheng Ji rushing over with hundreds of people.

Lu Xun didn't want to capture Cheng Ji alive at all, let alone spend time entangling with him, at this time there was only Liu Bei in his eyes, so he unceremoniously ordered the arrows to be released, and rows of arrows immediately flew towards Cheng Ji intensively.

Cheng Ji was not a military general, so he barely flew a few arrows, poof! Dozens of arrows instantly plunged into his chest, and a seven-point exquisite heart was pierced to pieces, and then streams of blood instantly gushed out, soaking through his chest.

Cheng Ji gritted his teeth and pulled the reins and let himself stand on the horse, but his vision was blurred for a while, and he tried to keep it open and didn't want to close it. In front of him, hundreds of thousands of burned soldiers appeared with hideous faces and painful expressions.

Cheng Ji couldn't bear to look at it anymore, his unwilling eyes finally closed, and before he died, he muttered out three words that no one had heard, Mo Qianxun!

The hundreds of people led by Cheng Ji died on the spot, and Lu Xun's army kept passing through. The Jiangdong soldiers admired Cheng Ji's loyalty and avoided him one after another.

Lu Xun was a step too late, and Liu Bei's warship had already berthed far away, beyond the reach of bows and arrows, so he could only watch him leave.

Hey, in the end, it was the fate of the Son of Heaven, and he still escaped at this juncture! Lu Xun felt deeply regretful, and sighed for a while by the river, and then remembered Cheng Ji, who was still standing on the horse after his death.

Lu Xun ordered to go down and bury Cheng Ji Haosheng on the riverbank and set up a stone monument, but he himself did not pay tribute to him personally, perhaps in his opinion, Cheng Ji's strategist is not worth mentioning at all.

When the boat arrived at the center of the river, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and called Guan Xing to inquire about the situation. According to Guan Xing, last night the fire was so fierce that he couldn't fight at all, so he had to lead 5,000 men and horses to leave, running wild in the starry night, and only met Liaohua's navy at dawn.

Zhu Ran activated the navy and launched a fierce attack on Liao Hua, Guan Xing was worried about Liu Bei's safety, so he asked Liao Hua for dozens of warships, went down the river, came to look for Liu Bei, and happened to meet here.

Hearing the situation, Liu Bei knew that he could not go up the river and would encounter Zhu Ran's army, so he had to order the warship to cross the river and go to the south bank.

The warships docked, Liu Bei ordered the burning of these warships, and with nearly 8,000 soldiers and horses, he kept moving westward, hurrying in the starry night.

In Liu Bei's view, only by returning to the north shore and coming to Zigui and other places can he be considered a complete escape.

Sure enough, Zhu Ran tried his best to drag Liaohua's navy, and at the same time sent nearly 200 warships down the river, Lu Xun of course refused to let Liu Bei go like this, so he used these warships to transfer all the troops to the south bank and continued to pursue Liu Bei non-stop.

Liu Bei's army ran all night, but there were endless mountains in front of him, and there was no way to go. As soon as I inquired, behind this group of mountains was the county town of Yidao, which had been under attack for a long time.

Liu Bei hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses to march south, preparing to bypass this mountain range, and then continue to the west, the general Zhang Nan was on the west side of Yidao, but there were still 20,000 garrisons.

In a hurry, Liu Bei did not prepare a map, and his route of marching actually took a long detour, giving Lu Xun a chance to catch up.

Liu Bei marched day and night, the soldiers were tired, and in the middle of the night, they finally came to the plain on the south side of Yidao, and the soldiers were so tired that they could no longer walk.

Liu Bei had to order the soldiers to rest for a while and continue their journey at dawn.
