Guiyang.
Zhao Yun and Fan Juan have renewed their relationship. They only need to report to Liu Bei before they can get married.
"Uncle Zhao, do you still want to ask my father when you get married?"
"Sir, as Yun is a general under the lord's command, it is natural that the marriage will be repaid to the lord."
Zhao Yun said worriedly: "Now our army has captured two of the four counties in Jingnan. I don't know where my lord and the others have gone."
Xia Houlan looked sad and sighed: "My lord Renyi, if you come with a group of people, you will definitely not be able to move quickly! Let's see how long Sun Quan's men can resist in Jiangling!"
Deng Ai suggested: "Young Master...Young Master! Ai thinks we should return to help pick up the Lord!"
While everyone was talking, they saw their scouts coming to report.
"Master! Something bad has happened!"
"My lord and his party originally wanted to go to Jiangxia, but when they passed through Dangyang, the Jiangdong Army abandoned Jiangling!"
"Now my lord is being pursued by Cao's army! My lord does not want to abandon the people, so he can only fight and retreat with Cao's army!"
"I hope the young master will come to support us!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Liu Mang.
Zhao Yun was even more impatient and uneasy. Liu Bei was his beloved master and nothing would happen to him.
"Now Lingling and Guiyang still need to be guarded."
Liu Mang was not polite and gave the order directly: "Li Yan, Xia Houlan! You two work together to guard Guiyang, with Li Yan as the main one and Xia Houlan as the assistant!"
The two of them clasped their fists and said, "Yes, sir!"
"Uncle Zhao! Xing Daorong! Deng Ai! Huangshan! Follow me and lead three thousand elite soldiers to support my father!"
"The last general takes command!"
In Liu Mang's mind, he recalled Mrs. Mi's kind face, Liu Bei's strict father's scolding, and Zhuge Liang's role as a role model.
"Don't let anything happen to you!"
…
Jiangling.
Cheng Pu originally wanted to lead his army into a fierce battle with Cao Cao so that the friendly forces could retreat safely, but unexpectedly Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai presented Zhou Yu's secret letter.
The content of the letter was clear, asking Cheng Pu to show off and withdraw from Jiangling as soon as possible.
Liu Bei, who has many soldiers and generals, is not the ally Jiangdong most hopes for.
It would be better to be defeated like a mountain, like a bereaved dog, and can only wag its tail and beg for mercy from Jiangdong. This is the ally he hopes to get from Zhou Yu.
Although Cheng Pu felt that this move was unjust, Zhou Yu was the governor, and even though he was very senior, he could not disobey orders.
"Liu Xuande! You can only ask for happiness!"
"The princess's marriage may be interfered by Gong Jin and it will be difficult to deal with the consequences!"
Cheng Pu sighed, no matter how Cao Jun scolded him outside the city, or how Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin tried to persuade him, he decided to fight for one more day for Liu Bei!
The next day.
Everyone in Jiangdong got up early and left. Jiangling was empty. Cao Jun successfully captured the city!
"Brother! Zi Lian's revenge must be avenged."
Cao Chun's eyes were cold. He originally wanted to massacre the city of Jiangling to vent his resentment, but the people had been taken away by Liu Bei long ago.
"Sima Yi! You told Tongque that there is an An Zi in Jingzhou! Why is there no news about that An Zi yet?"
Cao Ren's eyes flashed and he looked at the scribe in black.
Nowadays, Sima Yi serves as a literary advisor. Not long after he became an official, Cao Cao was highly regarded.
The Sima family in Hanoi is an example of military commanders transforming noble families.
When Cao Cao was young, he once received advice from the Sima family, and he remembered this kindness deeply.
"General, the chess pieces must be used in the most critical places."
"Liu Bei led the people across the river, pretending to be benevolent and righteous, and I will make him pay the price for it!"
"I have a plan that will kill Liu Bei's wife and daughter!"
Cao Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, and Cao Chun sneered: "Very good! His son killed my brother! We will kill his wife and children to vent our anger!"
Xu Chu came to report, "Zihe! The Prime Minister asked you to personally lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue Liu Bei! I swear to take his head!"
Cao Chun laughed and said: "Tell the Prime Minister! Cao Chun takes the order!"
…
Liu Bei had tried his best to seek refuge in Jiangxia, but there were so many people with him. He only took care of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and only walked more than ten miles a day before resting.
After Zhang Fei's death, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang went to Jiangxia to mobilize reinforcements.
Mi Fang took the initiative to ask for help in matters concerning the aftermath, with Liu Feng assisting him.
"Uncle Ji! Fortunately, you listened to Mang'er's blunt words and let Cong'er take the generals and their families to take refuge in Jiangxia and Lingling."
"It's a hardship for the people! If you walk with me, you'll suffer a lot."
Liu Bei sighed: "With the speed of Cao's cavalry, I'm afraid they can catch up with our army in one day and one night, under the stars!"
Yiji said angrily: "It's all those Jiangdong rats who don't keep their word! They promised to hold off Cao's army for us, but they only held for one day and then retreated at night!"
Recall Liu Mang's evaluation of Jiang Dong - a prostitute!
Liu Bei once again lamented that Nizi had a unique vision, but he just didn't take it seriously, so he was tricked by Jiang Dong!
Now Cheng Pu and others have long returned to Jiangdong by water, but Liu Bei and the more than 100,000 people who followed him have become a shield!
"Brother!"
Zhang Fei rode over and said anxiously: "The scouts are here to report! Cao Cao's elite tiger and leopard cavalry are already chasing us!"
"Why don't you, eldest brother, abandon the people, go ahead with your sister-in-law and nephew, and resist Cao's army on your own?"
Liu Bei shook his head, "Although Yide is brave, he is no match for millions of Cao's troops! The people appreciate my benevolence and righteousness, and many of them follow me here from the new countryside. How can I bear to abandon them?"
Brother!
Zhang Fei sighed: "If you love and never give up, disaster is not far away."
Liu Bei was still stubborn, and then asked Jian Yong: "Where is this place?"
Jian Yong helplessly replied: "In front of us is Dangyang County, and there is a mountain named Jingshan."
Liu Bei ordered everyone to set up camp and rest for the time being.
At this time, it is late autumn and early winter, and the cool breeze is bone-chilling!
Many people had no time to pack up their belongings and set off from Jiangling in a hurry.
If it weren't for Liu Mang's previous arrangements, most of the people would have moved to Jiangxia and Lingling, and the losses would probably be even greater!
Dusk is approaching and cries are heard all over the place.
Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, their cries are annoying.
"Bird Crow, ask your third grandfather to roast you again!"
Zhang Fei cursed angrily, but saw all the crows flying away from the branch.
Jian Yong knew Yin and Yang quite well, so he sighed with emotion: "This is a sign of great misfortune! It should be tonight!"
Just as Zhang Fei was about to scold him for his crow's mouth, he heard a murderous cry from the northwest that shook the ground!
Cao Jun is here!
In order to protect the people, Liu Bei ignored the dissuasion and personally held a double sword and led his two thousand elite troops to face the enemy!
Cao Jun is full of food and drink, and is full of momentum!
On the other hand, Liu Bei's army was in low morale and stopped and went. Once the two sides fought, the gap was revealed!
The ordinary soldiers of Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are hundreds of generals, and their combat effectiveness is quite tyrannical!
"Big-eared thief! I will capture you and take you to Xuchang today!"
Cao Chun roared, and his tiger and leopard cavalry charged forward!
Even though Liu Bei's troops are elite soldiers, the infantry will not have an advantage against the cavalry!
As soon as they met, the tiger and leopard cavalry broke up the army formation, and then surrounded and killed him!
"Lord, retreat quickly!"
Chen arrived and attacked suddenly to protect Liu Bei, but Cao Chun rushed over.
"Lord, let me stop this person! Move quickly!"
"Today, none of you can escape!"
Cao Chun couldn't stop laughing, and all the cavalry of Cao's army came behind him!
