The anger of Liu Beijun's men was still unquenched. Guan Yu's active attack this time gained a lot, which exceeded Zhuge Liang's expectations.
So at this moment, the generals in Liu Bei's camp are discussing whether to continue the fight.
Obviously Zhuge Liang meant not to continue fighting:
"Although our army has basically figured out Xiangfan Cao Ren's attitude in the past six months. If it were not for an obvious victory, this person would never attack easily, but... if the fight continues like this, let's not say whether Cao Ren will really
When dispatched, the food and grass alone can no longer support the long-distance consumption."
Zhuge Liang explained the decision to retreat from the perspective of food and grass.
At this time, there was another person who agreed with him, but the words were on his lips, but they didn't sound like that when he said them.
This man was the central figure in the rebellion in Chengdu at the end of the 14th year of Jian'an. Compared with the miserable Zhang Song, he was lucky enough to escape from Shu and was punished by Guan Yu.
During the fifteen years of Jian'an, Fazheng stayed in Liu Bei's camp, including Meng Da, Li Yan and others, who were originally Liu Zhang's subordinates in Yizhou, but they took the initiative to break away from Liu Zhang's group of capable people and formed Liu Bei's forces in the future.
A huge bureaucratic group known as the Dongzhou Group.
They are a group of talents that cannot be underestimated.
Among them, Fazheng was the most trusted by Liu Bei.
How to put it? If Liu Bei respects or fears Zhuge Liang - Zhuge Liang is as high as a strict teacher and a cornerstone, then Fa Zheng is Liu Bei's close adviser.
A pure counselor, like a considerate secretary, who knows Liu Bei's character, understands Liu Bei's thoughts, and can use this to designate short-term and effective strategies, is Fa Zheng.
Fazheng and Zhuge Liang had the same attitude, but he used another method of persuasion:
"My lord must know this, but now the soldiers in the camp are all concerned about the safety of General Zilong. Thinking about it no matter what, even if the soldiers persist a little longer, they will have to survive this period of time... What if it really happens?
Have you found General Zilong?"
Fazheng's words touched Liu Bei's heart. Of course he knew it was time to retreat at this time, but in terms of friendship, no matter what his attitude towards Zhao Yun was in his heart, as the lord he could not remain indifferent.
What if he didn't rescue Zhao Yun and the soldiers felt cold?
Now that he has become the lord, Liu Bei has too many things to consider. Whether you say he is a villain or a hypocrite, he has finally found his place in the world - based on this alone, his character and character are already insufficient.
For the Tao.
And Fazheng gave Liu Bei a step, and he also saw that many people were actually unwilling to continue fighting - the military was too exhausted, there was Cao Cao in the north, and Liu Zhang in the west. If they were at odds with Sun Quan,
Being hostile on three sides is like three big mountains lying in front of their eyes for their development.
Who would want to climb mountains and ridges when they can walk on flat ground?
"Zilong...my Zilong..."
"But... we can no longer let the soldiers die in vain. The second brother is under too much pressure in Jiangling. Now I want him to supervise the battle in Jiangxia. I really don't want to - withdraw the troops. Go and tell the second brother to let him withdraw...
"
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that Liu Bei would insist on his own way - since he failed to recover in the battle of Hanzhong last year, his health has been deteriorating since he recovered.
During this period, he entrusted the power of commanding the army to Liu Bei's hands, no longer doing anything personally, and devoted himself to recuperating from illness.
And just when he was most worried about making a mistake, Fazheng's appearance relieved Zhuge Liang's great pressure.
Fa Zheng's appearance is not false, but he and Liu Bei have similar interests and are essentially the same type of people. They are both more lively people than Zhuge Liang.
That's why Zhuge Liang was able to recover so quickly. Now Zhuge Liang's body has returned to its best condition. With the cooperation of Fa Zheng, both planning and decision-making can be done with twice the result with half the effort. It can be said that Liu Bei's army is in a good state as a whole.
It happened that such a big event happened at this time. Zhuge Liang was worried that because of this incident, their development momentum would be hit head-on. He really didn't know how long it would take to take Yizhou away.
"That's very good - about Zilong, we will send someone to look for it. Lord, don't worry. Zilong is a lieutenant. In the battle at Changbanpo that year, nothing happened to Zilong. He will definitely do the same this time.
Someone who can save the day from danger!"
Zhuge Liang comforted like this, not only to comfort Liu Bei, but also to comfort Zhang Fei, Huo Jun and other generals.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with the idea, but many people actually believed that Zhao Yun might not be saved, but there were some things that they still couldn't clarify.
However - just when everyone thought that today's discussion was about to end, the sound of galloping horse hooves suddenly came from outside the camp.
Hearing the chaos of the horses' hooves, before seeing anyone, someone shouted towards the camp:
"My lord! My lord! It's a letter! It's a letter! Found it!!"
"What's the letter? Tell me clearly!"
Before anyone could react, a knight rushed in from outside the tent. He staggered and fell to the ground, but this did not affect his excitement at all.
He quickly got up from the ground, and in response to Liu Bei's inquiry, he held up a letter tremblingly. Looking at the mist in his eyes, such a big man was about to cry.
"It's...it's a letter from General Zilong! It came from Baqiu Port this morning. A letter from General Zilong!!"
"What did you say!!?"
Hearing this, everyone looked stunned in the same way. Everyone exclaimed in unison, and their eyes involuntarily focused on the letter that was held tightly in the hand of the cavalry general.
"Fortunately...really lucky...Zilong is really the deputy general——"
Zhuge Liang also murmured and sighed.
In short, with the arrival of this scene, the dark clouds that had been plaguing everyone in Liu Bei's camp for a long time gradually dispersed, and suddenly, the situation seemed to become clearer.
——
On the same day, Liu Bei and others were unaware of the incident.
A brisk ship was sailing along the river from Pengze Port near Chaisang, heading towards the general.
It stands to reason that in such a tense time, if a Soochow ship sails towards Liu Bei's territory, it will generally be treated as an enemy attack.
However, this ship was extremely light and it obviously did not carry many troops, let alone an attack.
At this time, there was a Soochow general standing on the bow of the ship. He looked northwest with complex eyes, looking at the enemy troops who were about to arrive. Behind him was a follower holding a wooden box.
"Prefect Zhao, you can't blame me for this, and I couldn't help myself. But for the sake of the reconciliation between the Sun and Liu families, I have no choice but to accept your head."
Jiang Qin said this - after sighing, he returned to the cabin.
This... is not a warship, but a diplomatic ship carrying the sincerity of Soochow envoys Jiang Qin and Sun Quan.
What happened? To make the attitude of Soochow people change so quickly?
In fact, this is about a game that Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Lu Su set up again after Zhou Yu returned to Jianye to take charge of the overall situation a few days ago...
