Five hundred and eighty-eighth chapter virtual and the snake
Chapter 588: Hypocrisy and compromise
"Haha, I also know why Yuan Shu waited so long to launch his attack. At first, I was thinking that they were afraid of casualties and wanted to slowly kill us. Now I finally understand.
We are Yuan Shu's bait in Yanzhou. He has only one purpose, to lure Liu Biao and Yuan Shao from Jingzhou to send troops. Now that they have been fished out, Yuan Shu will take care of us and make every effort to deal with the threat from the south."
It has to be said that Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, who was able to create the three-legged power, was not a light-hearted man. Chen Gong could not completely guess what was going on, but he could see that this was the pattern, the top pattern of the Three Kingdoms monarchs.
"Yeah, but."
Guan Yu wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Liu Bei.
"Needless to say, what did we rely on when we first gained momentum? It wasn't the three brothers working together. Now the third brother is seriously injured, and you are also injured a lot. What will happen if Yanzhou is abandoned?
As long as the three of us are still there, I will still be Liu Bei. The worst we can do is start over from scratch. If the city is gone, we can still occupy it, and if the land is gone, we can fight again, but if the people are gone, everything will be lost."
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and then at Zhang Fei who was lying there. It was rare for him to show a trace of true feelings in his eyes, and after the true feelings there was a trace of ruthlessness.
"I see."
Liu Bei's words deeply touched Guan Yu's heart, and he had no other words to say.
"Well, you immediately send someone to recruit Ying Shao and make arrangements here. If anything happens after leaving the city, you can protect me, my third brother, Cheng Yu, and Chen Gong, and go directly south to Jingzhou."
But now Liu Bei also thinks about it. Liu Bei completely lost the Yanzhou game. He lost not because of anything else, but because of his overall strength.
If he had 200,000 soldiers and horses, no, 150,000 soldiers and horses, he could really give Yuan Shu a good fight, but it was a pity that he didn't, so Zhang Fei was seriously injured and he was completely defeated.
"I see."
Guan Yu nodded and walked directly out the door.
"Ying Zhongyuan, Ying Zhongyuan, I hope you won't disappoint me, otherwise I, Liu Bei, will really have to start all over again."
After Guan Yu left, Liu Bei looked outside the door and was silent for a long time.
"De Gao, Liu Bei asked me to meet with him."
Ying Shao received Liu Bei's notice and directly called Wang Xuan over.
"My lord, Liu Bei has suffered heavy losses this time. Lu County must not be able to defend it any longer. He is asking you to go now because he is probably going to force you to bear it while he wants to run away."
Wang Xuan was not a fool, and he immediately understood what Liu Bei meant.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
When Ying Shao heard Wang Xuan's words, he knew he wanted to work with him, and the corners of his mouth curved.
"What should I do? My lord, I already have an idea. Now if he wants us to resist him, then we will resist him. When he moves forward, we will sacrifice the city and then hunt him down with Yuan Shu."
Wang Xuan also raised the corner of his mouth. Although they were here to respond internally, Liu Bei wanted to run away now and they had many soldiers and horses. If they launched the attack themselves, they would most likely not be able to keep Liu Bei behind, and would be attacked again by him.
At that time, it will be easy to steal the chicken but lose the rice. Instead of hardening the steel, it is better to let Liu Bei go now and follow Yuan Shu to pursue him.
"Well, let's do it like this. Just prepare yourself and I'll go see Liu Bei right away."
Ying Shao nodded to Wang Xuan and walked directly out.
"Brother Zhongyuan, come quickly."
Liu Bei went out and welcomed Ying Shao into the house.
"I wonder why Xuande invited me here?"
Ying Shao looked at the attentive Liu Bei, with a smile flashing in his eyes. The more he acted like this, the more he proved that his original guess was correct.
"Brother Zhongyuan, I really have something to ask for when I come to you this time."
Liu Bei looked at Ying Shao, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
“Mr.
Ying Shao looked at Liu Bei and frowned in response.
"Brother Zhong Yuan, to be honest, you have seen the situation in Lu County now. We suffered heavy losses in the battle outside the city. I am afraid that Lu County cannot be defended. I am going to lead people to evacuate.
Originally, the most suitable candidates were Yide or Yun Chang, but you have seen their current situation, one is seriously injured and unconscious, and the other is temporarily unable to move, so now I can only leave this task to you, brother,"
Ying Shao deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and his brows were twisted into the character "Chuan" to show his embarrassment.
"Xuande, do you know that if you leave me here to defend the city now, you will let me and the Taishan Army under my command die."
After hearing Ying Shao's words, Liu Bei also understood Ying Shao's current mood. Yes, Lu County has now become a dead situation. Anyone who stays will be dead. There is no other way out.
"I also know that this decision is very difficult. It only takes three days. No matter what brother Zhong Yuan decides after three days, Liu Bei will definitely be grateful.
At the same time, I won’t take any of the gold and silver in the treasury, leaving all of it to my brother and the Taishan Army.
I don’t know if I agree or not. If not, I will stay and defend the city while I take everyone to evacuate. As long as you can keep my two brothers and Liu Bei’s wife and children safe, that’s all.”
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, he immediately bowed deeply to Ying Zhongyuan, and at the same time, the tears that had been brewing in his eyes could not stop flowing down.
"Hey, Mr. Xuande, there is no need for this. Since you have said so, I have nothing to say. I will accept this job. Even if the Taishan Army is finished, I will buy you three days, but three days
After heaven, we will each be his own master."
Ying Shao let out a long sigh and confessed directly to Liu Bei, I only promise to help you guard for three days, and I will surrender after three days. Only in this way can Liu Bei feel that he is sincerely helping him and there will be no doubts.
"Okay, no matter what identity we meet, Brother Zhongyuan will be remembered by Liu Bei."
Sure enough, Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard what Ying Shao said. If Ying Shao really agreed without thinking, it would be strange for Liu Bei not to be suspicious.
After all, his place has collapsed now. He wants to go and use others to block the gun. If Ying Shao is not careful, he will believe that he can kill Liu Bei.
"Well, then I will go back now to reorganize my troops and prepare to take over the city wall. You can also make arrangements and leave quickly."
After Ying Shao finished saying this, he slumped down on the chair, closing his eyes and looking helpless.
"Um."
Liu Bei had no ink marks and walked out directly, leaving only Ying Shao in the room.
Not long after Liu Bei left, Ying Shao let out a sigh of relief. Although his face was still depressed, the glint in his eyes from time to time showed that he was not like that at all in his heart.
When Ying Shao returned to the Taishan military camp, Wang Xuan immediately surrounded him.
"Lord, how are you doing?"
Looking at Wang Xuan, Ying Shao's face was covered with red clouds and he felt refreshed.
"Liu Bei is leaving soon, please let our people take over the defense of the city wall."
