Chapter 180 Even After Years, I Still Have No Regrets
Chapter 180 After all these years, I still have no regrets (Thanks to many of my family’s leaders for their rewards)
"Liu Jingsheng!"
In the afternoon of the third day, at Liu Bei's military camp in Yanggaoting, 200 kilometers away from Xiangyang, Liu Bei was furious.
The day before yesterday, Liu Biao was so frantic that he sent twelve messenger teams in succession to Yingchuan overnight. Several of the messenger teams' horses were exhausted, just to force him to withdraw his troops.
Although the reason inside was high-sounding, saying that he was afraid that Cao Cao would jump over the wall and endanger the emperor. But everyone knew what he had in mind.
Therefore, Liu Bei was furious. Now that the world is in crisis, Liu Biao is full of treason and disregards the emperor and the people of the world for his own selfish desires. Such selfish people are simply outrageous.
"Lord, calm down."
Xu Shu quickly persuaded: "Everyone in Nanzhou knows Liu Biao's intentions. If he wants to become emperor, he can only let Zhang Yunwenpin attack Xudu and harm the emperor. Therefore, we are not allowed to send troops, which is normal."
Liu Bei said angrily: "In this case, I can't let his conspiracy succeed. I immediately sent troops to attack Xudu and rescue the emperor as soon as possible and go to Nanyang."
"No."
Xu Shu said hurriedly: "If my lord really saves the emperor, not only will we not be able to save the emperor, we will also be unable to save ourselves."
"Why?"
Liu Bei said angrily: "Will Liu Biao risk the disapproval of the world and attack me?"
Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Biao already wants to be emperor. If there is anything he dares not do, then I'm afraid he won't be Cao Cao anymore, and Liu Biao will try his best to annihilate us. As long as the emperor dies in the rebellion, and there is no evidence to prove his death, who can do anything?"
What is he?"
"well."
Liu Bei let out a long sigh and sat down on the table angrily. He felt so sad that he couldn't stop crying: "Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, Liu Jingsheng and others are like beetles in the country. The rise and fall of the country are all at their hands. The great Han Dynasty is destroyed in one day."
ah!"
"Report!"
At this time, the scout came to report: "My lord, Cao Cao defeated General Yuan the day before yesterday and has come south. He can reach Xudu by tomorrow at the earliest and the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
"What?"
Liu Bei ignored his sorrow and stood up in shock: "Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao so quickly?"
Xudu was only more than 170 kilometers away from Cangting, so Liu Bei naturally sent scouts to contact Yuan Shao. In just two days, the scouts brought him back such shocking news, which made him unbelievable for a moment.
The scout rushed back overnight and said very tiredly: "I handed my lord's letter to General Yuan. On the way back, I saw them fighting, so I watched them. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao pretended to retreat south, but actually set up an ambush. General Yuan's vanguard and the front army were defeated.
, the main force retreated to Pingqiu, and I rushed back all night, not daring to stop for even a moment, for fear that Cao's army would come at any time."
"I understand, you go and rest first."
Liu Bei's face darkened.
Now I can't fight even if I want to. Facing the defense of Li Dian and Xia Houyuan, it is difficult to attack. Even if we want to attack, the strong attack may last for a long time.
I originally thought that Yuan Shao could hold Cao Cao back, but I didn't expect that Yuan Shao was defeated again.
If Cao Cao comes back, with his strength, he will definitely be able to defeat Liu Biao's hundreds of thousands of troops.
After all, the reason why Liu Biao sent troops was because he saw that Cao Cao's main force was attracted by Yuan Shao, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation, seize Xudu, and murder the emperor.
Otherwise, he would not have been so stupid as to come to Yingchuan to fight Cao Cao to the death.
So now that Cao Cao is back, Liu Bei has no choice but to evacuate.
Xu Shu quickly said: "Lord, withdraw your troops."
"Oh, I guess I'm done with the old thieves' knot."
Liu Bei sighed, called the guard at the door, and said: "Command the generals to retreat!"
"only!"
The guards immediately went to each camp to convey the order.
After a while, Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and others rushed to the main camp.
"Brother, why are you withdrawing your troops?"
Zhang Fei was yelling at Li Dian outside Xia Houyuan's camp just now. When he heard the news of the retreat, he hurried back and shouted when he came in: "I have almost scolded Xia Houyuan, Li Dian and his ancestors. They are about to fight out and fight with me."
After a fight to the death, why did you withdraw your troops?"
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Cao Cao's army is heading south and will arrive soon. Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian are locked up and cannot come out. If we can't defeat them, we can't go to Xudu. Now they won't fight us, so they can only withdraw their troops."
"But." Zhang Fei wanted to say something else.
"Retreat."
Liu Bei propped his hands on the table with a bitter expression on his face: "Why do I want to retreat? Unfortunately, Liu Biao is holding back, and Cao Cao's army is behind. We are attacked from both sides, and it is difficult to maintain our strength."
"Oh, I know."
Zhang Fei sighed, looked at each other with Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun, and had no choice but to go back to his base camp to prepare for the withdrawal of troops.
At noon that day, all the battalions began to retreat in an orderly manner. Under Xu Shu's arrangement, Liu Bei's generals at all levels followed the order.
For example, when Zhang Fei breaks camp, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shi Ci will lead the troops to cover him first. When Zhao Yun breaks camp, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shi Ci will cover him, and so on.
At the end, Liu Bei, the leader, pulled out the camp, and the generals led the troops to protect the left and right sides.
At this time, Liu Bei himself was outside the camp, with soldiers and horses coming and going behind him, pulling supplies, grain, and carriages.
About three miles away on the opposite side is the camp of Xia Houyuan and Li Dian.
This kind of camp is located all over the traffic arteries around Xudu, just to prevent the situation like last time from happening again.
At this moment, the gate of the village is closed, and the wall above the wooden fence is crowded with people. You can vaguely see a general wearing a dark armor on a watchtower above, watching.
And further away, Liu Bei seemed to be able to vaguely see the shadow of the ancient city behind the camp, more than ten kilometers away, standing on the horizon!
Xudu.
"Lord."
Xu Shu came up and persuaded: "Let's go."
By evening, the soldiers and horses behind them had gradually emptied the camp, and the soldiers coming and going were also carrying weapons and driving carriages, leaving towards the south.
The sun set in the west and dyed half of the clouds red.
Upon hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei turned his horse's head and prepared to leave.
But for some reason, he patted Luma's head again to signal it to stop.
The horse stands sideways very spiritually, facing the northeast and its tail to the southwest.
The Lu horse that Liu Bei was riding turned sideways and silently looked back at Xudu City in the northwest.
In the dark.
He always has a feeling.
Maybe once I leave, I will never come back again.
Just like when I left Youzhou, I could never go back to my hometown in Zhuoxian.
Liu Bei's eyes were filled with confusion.
He doesn't know why he has reached this point.
I don’t know how I can save this dilapidated Han Dynasty.
That city in the distance.
The emperor of Han Dynasty is there.
Imprisoned in the so-called "Royal Palace".
But he couldn't help much, and he couldn't rescue the emperor.
What he wanted to protect.
It has never been about power, desire, or wealth.
It’s about the Han Dynasty, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, the people of Li, and the people around me who care about the most.
pity.
He can't do anything.
We can't save our ancestors' country, we can't save the emperor of Han Dynasty, we can't save the common people.
Even the brothers and sisters around him who he cares about most have followed him around for many years and achieved nothing.
There is always so much helplessness and helplessness in this world.
It's regrettable.
Looking at that city, a deep sense of powerlessness surged into Liu Bei's heart.
The soldiers behind him slowly left along the southern road.
He turned his horse's head and silently urged it away.
All that is left to this world is that generous back and long shadow under the setting sun.
His Majesty.
I went first.
Waiting for Chen to die in the south to build a foundation for himself.
If I am lucky enough to survive.
With troops and horses in hand, I will come north to meet you.
Even if it takes years.
Even if you are seventy or eighty years old.
Even if you die in a foreign country.
I still have no regrets.
Thanks to the leader for the reward, I worked hard to update 10 chapters. To be honest, I didn’t expect that there are already three leaders, but the subscriptions are still not many, the average subscription is only 1800 now, it is worse than conquest, it is quite bleak. To be honest, I
The book you write may not be very good and has many problems, but you still have to keep writing. Create the characters well and conceive the plot well. Some friends said that I haven’t started the main plot yet, but my main plot is actually quite short. I basically write it.
After finishing the main plot, the book is also finished, so the 700,000 words in the early stage can be regarded as some kind of foreshadowing. I will work hard to update the rest, hoping to write a better and more satisfying work. Thank you for your support.
