Looking at Fu Kuang in front of him, Liu Bei's horrified eyes revealed a hint of strangeness.
Is this still the heroic rising star in his memory?
Liu Bei vaguely remembered the extraordinary and calmness shown by Fu Kuang when he had just defected.
But now?
Vicissitudes of life, tiredness, disheveled hair, like a refugee!
What kind of wandering is it to deserve this appearance?
"Wonpil?"
Liu Bei still had a skeptical attitude and gave a tentative breath.
Fu Kuang straightened his messy hair a little, and then fell to his knees directly.
"Fu Kuang pays homage to the lord, military advisor!"
After hearing Fu Kuang's voice, Liu Bei no longer had any doubts in his mind.
No matter how much your appearance changes, your voice can’t deceive you!
"Wonbi, why are you like this?"
"Why!"
Fu Kuang is really beyond words!
After receiving Xu Shu's military order and setting off from Huya, Fu Kuang immediately embarked on the road to Nanchang.
Normally, the journey from Huya to Nanchang seems far away, but in fact it is very convenient.
You only need to take a boat to the east in an instant, turn into Poyang Lake at Chaisang, and then follow the Gan River directly to the foot of Nanchang City.
If everything goes well, it can be reached by boating for a day and night.
But the problem arises in that it is extremely unsatisfactory!
First of all, due to the intimidation of the Yufushui Army, Fu Kuang did not dare to take a boat again. He could only ride to Wulin first and then take a boat to Changsha.
Fu Kuang did not dare to stop at all, and still spent several days on the journey.
Fortunately, you can take a boat directly from Wulin to Changsha and Linxiang, which saved Fu Kuang a lot of distance, otherwise he would have been delayed for several days!
There was no waterway from Linxiang to Liling, so Fu Kuang had no choice but to take a detour as much as possible on horseback.
After finally crossing the mountains and ridges, we arrived in Yichun, ready to leave our horses and take a boat to Nanchang.
Unexpectedly, the Yichun garrison told Fu Kuang that the entire Gan River had been cut off by Lu Xun's navy and was completely impassable.
Forced by desperation, Fu Kuang could only follow the grain transport team over the mountains and ridges, hiding and being careful along the way!
Only then, after spending more than ten days, did we enter Nanchang City!
Fu Kuang's sigh really expressed the sadness and helplessness in his heart.
Liu Bei didn't know why, but it frightened Zhuge Liang, and the feather fan that had been shaking froze in mid-air.
Zhuge Liang has different concerns from Liu Bei. He doesn't care why Fu Kuang is in such a mess.
"Yuanbi, what happened? Why are you here?"
Fu Kuang is a talented general, he is calm and can be entrusted with important tasks!
It was Zhuge Liang's idea to leave him with Xu Shu, so that Xu Shu could calmly deal with emergencies in Nanjun.
"My lord, military advisor, Liu Zhang personally led an army of 100,000 people out of Yufu. The former army attacked Zigui and threatened Yiling!"
"What! Liu Zhang is here in person!"
Liu Bei's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and his voice was filled with fear.
Fu Kuang nodded, this was no longer controversial.
Zhuge Liang first helped Fu Kuang up, and then quickly asked him.
"Yuanbi, how is the situation in Nanjun?"
Liu Bei quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and looked at Fu Kuang nervously.
If Fu Kuang is like this, Nan County must be in extreme danger!
"Commander Xu appointed Feng Xi and Zhang Nan as naval generals, and said that more than 10,000 Jingzhou naval forces would be surrendered, and then 30,000 people from Nanjun were mobilized to fight against the enemy."
"After discovering that Liu Zhang relied on the navy to transport soldiers to Yiling, Military Advisor Xu decisively ordered the navy to intercept him."
"Unexpectedly, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan were greedy for power and rushed forward, and fell into an ambush by Liu Zhang's army!"
"The ten thousand sailors were almost completely wiped out!"
Hearing this, Liu Bei staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Ten thousand sailors were wiped out in one battle, how could we still fight this battle?
"Then what? How about Xu Shu? Where did Liu Zhang hit him!"
Liu Bei excitedly grabbed Fu Kuang, shook him, and kept asking him questions.
Fu Kuang was exhausted and haggard mentally, and Liu Bei's shaking almost caused him to die directly.
Fortunately, he was in good health and Zhuge Liang stopped him in time, so Fu Kuang didn't faint.
"Lord...Lord!"
"Commander Xu ordered to guard Yiling, Huya Mountain, and Yidao at three points, and ordered the remaining 3,000 naval troops to be stationed in the water village next to Huya Mountain."
"Under the deployment of Military Advisor Xu, Liu Zhang's army was temporarily blocked."
"However, all roads are besieged by Liu Zhang's army, and Nanjun is in danger!"
Fu Kuang didn't know what was going on in Nanjun, but Xu Shu's order to him to persuade Liu Bei to return was not forgotten at all.
If you want Liu Bei to lead his army back, you can only make the situation worse!
Suddenly, Liu Bei seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Fu Kuang again in horror.
"Yuan Bi, where are the ambush troops deployed between Zigui and Yiling? Have they been withdrawn?"
Fu Kuang was very puzzled. How long had it been since Liu Bei still cared about those one or two thousand people?
"My lord, Liu Zhang suddenly launched an attack, and our navy was almost completely destroyed, so we didn't have time to withdraw from the ambush."
"When the end of the world comes, Liu Zhang has already sent people to block the entrance to Yiling. The two thousand people are probably in danger..."
Liu Bei rolled his eyes when he heard this and fainted immediately.
"Lord!"
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang had quick eyesight and quick hands to support Liu Bei.
The two people quickly helped Liu Bei to his seat and gave him some water before waking him up.
At this time, Liu Bei's eyes were distracted, his eye circles were red, and tears could not help but roll down.
"My white-eared elite soldiers...wuwuwu..."
After Fu Kuang heard Liu Bei's mourning, he was stunned.
"What, those soldiers and horses are the master's white-eared soldiers?"
The White-Er Elite Soldiers are the soldiers who have followed Liu Bei for the longest time.
When Liu Bei arrived at Xiangyang City in despair, almost only the white-eared soldiers were left.
It's a pity that Cai Mao slaughtered them, and not many people were left.
Later, Liu Bei went south to attach himself to Liu Qi, and then he slowly added up to 500 men.
The White-Ear elite soldiers are few in number, and every one of them is the elite among the elite!
Liu Bei covered his forehead with his hands. He was so grief-stricken that he had no strength to speak.
Zhuge Liang also sighed repeatedly, feeling sorry for the loss of these soldiers and horses.
After a while, Zhuge Liang explained to Fu Kuang.
"In order to ambush Pang Tong, we specially dispatched 500 of the most elite White-Eared Soldiers under the lord's command."
"In order to prevent Yufu's Eastern Army from becoming malicious again towards Yiling, these people have been stationed in the mountains and forests."
"Unexpectedly, not only did it not have any effect, but..."
Fu Kuang's doubts were now solved. No wonder Pang Tong almost died in Yiling.
It turned out that the soldiers who ambushed him were white-eared elite soldiers!
"My lord, my condolences..."
Apart from these two words, Fu Kuang didn't know what to say to comfort him.
In fact, Liu Bei was not the only one who needed comfort. Zhuge Liang was not much better at this time.
This time Zhuge Liang miscalculated again!
