Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters arrived in five cities
Chapter 997 Arrival at Five Cities
Mrs. Zhu Rong suddenly blinked at Yuan Shu. She used to be wild and pure, but now she was wild and full of explosive charm, and walked towards Yuan Shu.
"Haha, I would like to hear what your last resort is?"
Seeing Mrs. Zhu Rong walking towards him, Yuan Shu did not panic, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now to avenge my dead husband and tribal warriors?"
Zhu Rong came to Yuan Shu step by step and directly picked his chin with his fingers.
"Haha, do you think you have this ability?"
Yuan Shu pinched Zhu Rong's veins with his backhand, then pulled him hard into his arms.
"The last strategy is to give birth to a descendant who belongs to the adults. No one can be more trustworthy than your own descendants. When the time comes, the descendants of your legitimate wives and concubines will rule the Central Plains, and the children of the Southern Barbarians will become the Southern Kings. This way
The big man will have nothing to worry about."
Mrs. Zhu Rong was lying peacefully in Yuan Shu's arms, but her eyes were extremely charming.
"Then I want to see if you have this ability."
As the saying goes, everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk. She is such a wild Southern beauty in the arms of a beautiful woman. Although she was once the wife of the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo, who can care about that now.
"Then I also want to see what you are capable of."
Yuan Shu picked up Mrs. Zhu Rong and walked directly to the back hall.
"General, why on earth does Mrs. Zhu Rong want to see the lord?"
Yan Liang was guarding outside the house, but the personal guard beside him asked him questions with some confusion.
"Why are you meeting my lord?
How do I know, but I probably just want my lord to let the southern barbarians go."
Yan Liang thought for a moment and answered the guard's question.
"Oh, but how can we make the lord let go of the Nanman people?"
The personal guard asked Yan Liang again.
"How to let it go?
How do I know? Don't ask what you should and shouldn't ask. Just stay outside."
"promise."
After a night of silence, Mrs. Zhu Rong left Yuan Shu's house before dawn, and Yuan Shu called Yan Liang in after Mrs. Zhu Rong left.
"Lord."
Yan Liang thought of Yuan Shu, cupping his fists and saluting.
"Zhu Rong is gone?"
Yuan Shu touched his waist and couldn't help but frown. Mrs. Zhu Rong was really not good at it. One person could match the skills of Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
"Leave, leave before dawn."
Yan Liang glanced at Yuan Shu and directly told Zhu Rong's whereabouts without lying.
"Okay, from now on she can come whenever she wants without stopping her. How is the army resting?"
Hearing Zhu Rong leave, Yuan Shu also nodded.
"Yan Liang understands that the army is almost rested now and can set off at any time."
After all this, Yan Liang would be a fool if he didn't understand the relationship between the two, and directly saluted Yuan Shu with cupped fists.
"Then order the army to set off and march south to Chengdu."
"promise."
Yan Liang immediately conveyed Yuan Shu's order, and an army of over 200,000 was ordered to march south to Chengdu.
What Yuan Shu has to do now is to quickly meet Jia Xu and discuss with him Mrs. Zhu Rong's strategy to quell the barbarians, as well as future offensives against ancient Burma and ancient India.
The army went all the way south and came directly to Chengdu, while Liu Bei took thousands of soldiers and horses withdrawn from Mianzhu City, followed Guan Yu all the way through the mountains and forests, and finally arrived at the Five Cities where Zhang Fei was.
What makes them most fortunate is not that Yuan Shu sent people to pursue them but that the five cities have not been conquered by Chen Gong and Xun You so far.
"who?"
In the past few days, the remnants of the army have gradually withdrawn to the five cities. Now Zhang Fei's troops have nearly 20,000 men. When they saw Liu Bei leading his men to kill, they all cocked their crossbows and shouted at him.
"Look clearly, this is the eldest brother of the Third General, Liu Yizhou. Why don't you open the city gate quickly?"
Hearing the sound on the city wall, a school captain immediately shouted back to the top of the city wall.
"Brother, the third general?
Liu Yizhou?"
Now everyone on the city wall was confused. Isn't Liu Bei in Mianzhu?
Why come to this small five cities?
"Hurry and report to the commander of the third general's bodyguard."
They had never seen Liu Bei, but Zhang Fei's bodyguards must have seen him, so they chose to go directly to his bodyguard chief.
"What?
The eldest brother of the Third General is here?
Come with me quickly, and take someone with you to find the third general immediately and ask him to stop drinking."
When he heard that Liu Bei was coming, the captain of the bodyguard did not dare to neglect and took people directly to the city. At the same time, he arranged for people to go to Zhang Fei and tell him the news.
When the captain of the guard came to the city and saw that it was indeed Liu Bei and Guan Yu, he did not dare to neglect and directly ordered the city gate to be opened and Liu Bei was welcomed in.
"Du Yu, why is it you, where is Yide?"
When he saw that the head of the bodyguard came out to greet him, Liu Bei's brows furrowed.
"My lord has arrived and I have already sent people to invite the three generals."
When Du Yu heard Liu Bei asking Zhang Fei, he frowned and explained to Zhang Fei.
"Did he drink again?
snort."
Seeing Du Yu's expression, Liu Bei immediately guessed that Zhang Fei must have relapsed into his old habit, so he took Guan Yu directly to Zhang Fei's residence.
As soon as he arrived at Zhang Fei's door, he heard a clanking sound inside.
"Go away, you dare to trick my eldest brother into coming, you are really tired of living."
Zhang Fei's voice directly reached the ears of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
"Brother, maybe the third brother feels uncomfortable because he lost Yanting. That's why he is like this."
Guan Yu looked at the livid-faced Liu Bei and quickly opened his mouth to explain to Zhang Fei.
"Humph, I told him a long time ago that you must not drink alcohol while marching. He turned a deaf ear to my words and followed me in."
Liu Bei directly pushed open the door in front of him and walked inside with long strides.
"Lord."
The guards who came to report the news to Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei approaching and saluted him directly with clasped fists.
"Okay, you go down."
Liu Bei waved his hand at the man.
"promise."
After sending away the personal guards, Liu Bei and Guan Yu came to the front of the house together, then raised their feet and kicked the door in front of them into pieces.
"who?"
Hearing the movement outside the house, a cold light suddenly appeared and touched Liu Bei's neck.
"It's time to make a career,"
Looking at the sword on his neck, Liu Bei couldn't help but sneer.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Zhang Fei was startled, and the drunkenness in his body was immediately clear, and he immediately withdrew the steel sword in his hand.
"Whether I come or not, you will drink yourself to death."
Seeing that Zhang Fei was still on guard, Liu Bei, who was about to die of anger, became less angry.
"How can you, brother?"
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei's face turned from black to red, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Okay, what's the matter? I heard that after the defeat at Yanting, it turned out like this when you came back?
How can you become an immortal if you live on wine all day long?"
Liu Bei circled around Zhang Fei and started teasing him directly.
"Brother, please don't talk about me anymore. Indeed, the battle at Yanting made me feel unwilling. Losing Yanting made me feel unworthy of my brother's hope, so I did such a stupid thing."
Zhang Fei was suddenly startled as he spoke.
"Brother, why did you come to my five cities?"
When Liu Bei heard Zhang Fei's question, he was stunned for a moment, then showed a trace of sadness on his face.
"Second brother, we were defeated. We were completely defeated by Yuan Shu. The eldest brother didn't want to defect to the Qiang people, so he brought the remaining army to the five cities to fight with you."
Seeing that Liu Bei didn't want to speak, Guan Yu could only shake his head and spoke about Mianzhu's situation.
“Mianzhu was defeated?
How is it possible that there are more than 100,000 Southern Barbarian soldiers and nearly 100,000 Han soldiers there?"
Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei was immediately confused. In his opinion, his failure here was because the enemy was so powerful that he had to risk a decisive battle. You, Liu Bei, have strong troops and horses, how could you lose?
"Third brother, don't ask. It's hard to explain in one sentence. If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to say."
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei. This idiot had already said he was a complete failure. You still have to ask, isn't this just adding salt to their wounds?
"Okay, I understand. Someone is here to prepare a banquet. I want to support the eldest and second brothers."
Although Zhang Fei was naive, he was not stupid. Seeing that Liu Bei was not very interested, he knew that he should not ask this question, so he directly asked his subordinates to prepare a banquet.
"Come on, there's no need for a banquet. Just arrange for someone to bring two bowls of porridge. I'm tired."
Liu Bei refused Zhang Fei's reception banquet, and only asked him to prepare two bowls of porridge, which he ate and then rested.
"Second brother, eldest brother is very tired."
Seeing Liu Bei's tired look, Zhang Fei also felt depressed. He hadn't seen his elder brother like this for a long time.
"Third brother, the eldest brother is not only tired, but also physically and mentally exhausted. Let him rest for a while."
Guan Yu shook his head slightly. Yes, since he and Liu Bei started fighting, they have fought all over the Han Dynasty, from Youzhou in the north to Jingzhou in the south and Yizhou in the west. It can be said that he has traveled all over the Han Dynasty.
For so many years, Liu Bei has been losing more and winning less. It can be said that he has been defeated and defeated again and again. But no matter when, even after the defeat of Yanzhou, his eldest brother has not lost hope and has always been full of energy.
,
This time was different. After running around for the past few days, what he saw in Liu Bei's eyes was no longer hope, but deep exhaustion. It was obvious that this failure was too painful for Liu Bei, so painful that he had already
Can't stand up anymore.
"Is the situation difficult now?"
After hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei also understood the seriousness of the matter. Now they may have really reached the end of their rope, otherwise Liu Bei's tenacity would not be like this.
"Now that the Han Dynasty has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu, Chengdu has been plotted by Yuan Shu, and Military Advisor Cheng Yu and Chengdu have fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu. Now that Mianzhu has been conquered, we can only bring these remnants here. Now the five cities should be occupied by the eldest brother
