There were only more than two hundred people left around Liu Bei.
More than a hundred of them stayed outside the city to protect Jian Yong and Sun Qian, and no soldiers entered the city.
The remaining dozens of people are Zhao Yun's personal soldiers and can follow him out.
After leaving the city, they ran wildly.
Under the leadership of Chen Gong, they did not go north, but ran south, towards Xiangyang.
They waited until daybreak to ensure that no one could catch up behind them. Then they took a breath and stopped to rest, but they were exhausted and panting.
"Brother, there is no one behind you."
When Guan Yu came back, he was also a little out of breath.
Just a little bit away, they might not be able to live without Pingyu and they would all die inside.
"Gongtai, what should I do?"
Liu Bei was completely confused now.
From Xuzhou to now, I have been defeated at the hands of the Cao family. Especially last night, I couldn't stop him. I wonder if the people around Cao Cao are really that powerful?
You can calculate their actions step by step to the end.
Everything was planned by Chen Zhou, and they didn't even have a chance to breathe.
Chen Gong was also confused. He felt that his hair had turned a lot gray overnight, and he felt extremely depressed, as if he would always live in Chen Zhou's shadow.
After listening to Liu Bei asking himself, Chen Gong took a while to calm down.
"Go to Jingzhou!"
Chen Gong said: "It is no longer possible to go back north to Yecheng, and there is absolutely no way to go back. I conclude that Yuan Shao is no match for Cao Cao, and returning to Yecheng is also seeking death."
"Cao Cao is not that strong, and Yuan Shao is not that weak."
Jian Yong disagreed with Chen Gong's judgment.
"No, you are all wrong!"
Chen Gong explained: "Firstly, Chen Zhou beside Cao Cao is a monster. He is very scheming. He must be scheming against Yuan Shao now. Secondly, Cao Cao's weapons are far better than ours. General Zhao, don't you think so?"
Zhao Yun solemnly nodded and said: "That's right! Cao Jun's weapons are much sharper and harder than ours. Our swords will break with one strike. In addition, Cao Jun has a very hard armor. Even my gun It can’t be pierced, General Guan and General Zhang should feel the same way, right?”
They closed Zhang and nodded at the same time.
Guan Yu just cut down many soldiers of Cao's army, but with one slash, he could only drive them back. If he didn't cut his neck, he couldn't kill them.
"Cao Cao didn't have this kind of weapon when we left Xudu."
Chen Dao agreed.
That said, it was recently built.
Liu Bei then thought that before leaving Xudu, he had heard that people from the Cao family were forging weapons outside the city, and it might be these weapons.
"Then what do we do?"
Gong Du asked in panic.
I originally thought that by joining Liu Bei, I could get ahead and create a world.
I never thought that I might as well continue to be a bandit. After I took refuge, everyone around me died and no one was left.
Chen Gong was still frightened by Cao Jun. He remained silent for a long time and said: "Go to Xiangyang and join Liu Jingzhou. This is our only choice. As for how to decide, it depends on what the lord thinks."
The choice now lies before Liu Bei.
"Go to Xiangyang."
Liu Bei decided: "Let's go to Xiangyang."
Liu Biao was still a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If he went to Xiangyang, he might be taken seriously.
If he had no other choice, he wouldn't want to seek refuge everywhere, but would grab a territory and develop slowly.
But the structure of the world has been decided, and how to divide the territory is almost certain. If he dares to rob others, it will not be good for the reputation of benevolence and righteousness. Secondly, he may just grab it, but he will be beaten away again.
There are only a few hundred of them now, so they can't grab any territory, and no one can defeat them.
The only option is to find someone to take refuge with.
They rested for half an hour, reorganized themselves, and headed south, no longer caring about Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's affairs.
As Chen Gong judged, Yuan Shao was very likely to be unable to defeat Cao Cao.
Nowadays, Cao Cao is developing so fast that Yuan Shao cannot defeat him. It seems normal. At the same time, Liu Bei feels that Alexander cannot see where his future lies.
——
white horse.
Cao Cao ordered the people to be relocated.
Before Yuan Shao crossed the river for the second time, he completed the migration of the people. At this time, the migration was almost complete.
But at this time, Cao Cao received the news from Cao Ang and immediately called Chen Zhou and others over.
"Watatsuki, you are right again!"
After reading all the news, Liu Ye first sighed.
After Sun Ce was assassinated, he survived for almost a month and finally died.
In addition, Zhang Xian in Jingzhou rebelled, and Liu Biao had to lead troops to suppress it. In addition, the wealthy families in Jingzhou did not support Liu Biao's war.
The south was safe and sound, nothing happened at all.
All of them were predicted by Chen Zhou.
"Coincidences are all coincidences."
Chen Zhou said: "I never imagined that I could hit the mark even if I just talked casually at that time."
Hearing this, they definitely didn’t believe it.
If it's a coincidence once or twice, if it happens many times, then it has nothing to do with coincidence. Chen Zhou has this ability to predict.
"Don't be humble anymore, Watanabe."
Cao Cao laughed, patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder, and asked, "What do you think our next step should be, Du Zhi?"
The other counselors around him all looked at Chen Zhou.
Maybe Chen Zhou's ability to make suggestions was not necessarily better than theirs, but there had never been any problems with the direction Chen Zhou pointed out or the things he proposed.
Even if there is a small accident occasionally, it can be ignored.
But before Chen Zhou could speak, Cao Peng came in from outside.
"Uncle, eldest brother has news again."
"The person who delivered the news this time outran two fast horses. He came in a hurry, just a little slower than the news just now."
Cao Peng said.
After hearing this, Cao Cao took it, opened it, looked at it, and laughed: "Liu Bei really wanted to open a second battlefield for Yuan Shao and attack Pingyu in Runan, but Zixiu and the others killed him and ran away."
Another thing that Chen Zhou predicted.
Having just finished being surprised, they have become accustomed to it and will no longer feel anything.
Chen Zhou said: "If Liu Bei wants to escape now, he can only flee to the south, either to the Sun family or to Jingzhou. But the Sun family must be internally unstable now, and there is a high possibility of going to Jingzhou."
Although he knew that Liu Bei would definitely go to Jingzhou.
But let’s pretend to analyze it.
"As for Yuan Shao's next plan, it is probably to attack Yanjin."
"My lord should be prepared to retreat from White Horse."
"If Yuan Shao really attacks Yanjin, he will definitely come to Baima, and most of our troops will go south to send the migrating people away."
"There are not many troops left at this time."
Chen Zhou said.
There are only more than 5,000 troops left in Baima now.
The guards on the Yanjin side also retreated almost as much.
Cao Cao had long since retreated to the defense line of Guandu according to Chen Zhou's arrangement, preparing to compete with Yuan Shao. Therefore, from the beginning, he was not prepared to defend Yanjin and Baima.
The purpose of this is to lengthen Yuan Shao's front, which will be more conducive to defeating the enemy.
"uncle."
As soon as Chen Zhou finished speaking, Xia Houjie hurriedly ran in and said: "Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou attacked Yanjin. Now Yanjin has been lost, and Wen Chou is leading his troops towards our Baima!"
