Liu Han stood beside Liu Bei on horseback and asked loudly, "My lord, Wang Can divided his troops. Do you need to pursue another pursuit?"
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "There is no need to pursue, as long as you kill Wang Can, everything will be solved." Then, Liu Bei led the army to continue to chase Wang Can, hoping to kill Wang Can first, and then wipe out the remaining deserters, thereby establishing victory.
The warring parties, one tried their best to escape, and the other tried their best to pursue.
Wang Can looked back at Liu Bei, with a smile on his lips, because he found that Liu Bei had not divided his troops to hunt down some of the soldiers who had been separated. This was what Wang Can wanted to see.
Along the way, Liu Bei and his soldiers kept chasing, while Wang Can kept running away. Xiangyang City was prosperous and prosperous, and although the streets were wide, there were many people on both sides. Liu Bei wanted to kill Wang Can quickly, but he could not expand the area of pursuit.
They could only hang behind. Even if Liu Bei's spearmen killed some backward people, they were only a very small number.
Half an hour later, some of the soldiers led by Wang Can separated again.
Zhang Fei followed up on horseback, and his injuries were simply bandaged.
Liu Bei wanted Zhang Fei to have a good rest, but Zhang Fei wanted to kill Wang Can to avenge Guan Yu, so he persisted. Although Zhang Fei's face was a little pale, his dark eyes were bright and full of energy.
Zhang Fei rode on the horse and frowned and said: "Brother, some soldiers under Wang Can's command have left again. Do you want to send some soldiers to pursue them?"
At this time, Zhang Fei also thought it was time to eliminate the scattered soldiers.
However, although Zhang Fei made suggestions, he himself had no intention of leaving. He wanted to stay and kill Wang Can. This was his first priority.
Liu Han looked forward to it, eager to try.
He just made a suggestion to pursue, but Liu Bei rejected it. But Zhang Fei's words carried more weight. As long as Liu Bei agreed to send troops, it would be a great achievement for him to lead the troops to wipe out the separated soldiers.
Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged as if he had been a statue for ten thousand years, but he still shook his head and said: "Wang Can continued to divide his troops, he did so on purpose. This is Wang Can's conspiracy. Once we divide our troops to pursue, it will reduce the pressure on Wang Can. We must not fall into the trap.
We must continue to pursue Wang Can. As long as we can kill Wang Can, no matter what Wang Can's plan is, it will be in vain. Don't be distracted and continue chasing."
After Liu Bei said these words, Zhang Fei and Liu Han were so calm that they were not distracted.
Wang Can led the people and ran towards the east gate very quickly.
As Wang Can got closer and closer to the east gate, Liu Bei also became excited.
Every gate in the city is heavily guarded by Liu Bei's troops.
The soldiers guarding the city gate are not to deal with Wang Can, but to defend Liu Bei, and they are also a way of escape for himself. Once Lu Meng breaks the city, or something strange happens in the city, Liu Bei cannot hold it.
Xiangyang, when he had to lead his troops to leave, he could easily leave through the city gate. This was the retreat prepared by Liu Bei.
Now Wang Can leads his troops to the city gate, playing into Liu Bei's trap.
It was originally used to cover his way out, but it became the key to killing Wang Can.
When he thought of this, Liu Bei was filled with joy.
Wang Can led his soldiers to escape quickly, and after gradually approaching the east gate, Shi A loudly said: "Lord, we are already within the range of the east gate, when will we turn around?"
Wang Can said: "There are many of us, so we ran towards the south gate immediately to avoid being attacked by the defenders at the east gate."
"promise!"
After Shi A answered, he immediately conveyed the order.
When he was at least five hundred steps away from the east gate, or even further away, Wang Can took the lead and began to change his route. Instead of running directly to the east gate, he ran towards the south gate. All the private soldiers he led seemed to
After knowing some things, they all ran hard, especially when they changed direction and ran towards the south gate, they were in perfect harmony.
Thousands of people quickly turned around and changed routes.
This action immediately attracted Liu Bei's attention.
Liu Bei expected Wang Can to lead his men to break out from the east gate. Once Wang Can attacked the east gate, he could flank Wang Can. But to Liu Bei's surprise, Wang Can had already changed his route without getting close to the east gate.
What's even stranger is that Wang Can actually headed towards the south gate.
At this moment, Liu Bei's mind was a little confused.
Next to him, Liu Han also looked puzzled and asked: "Master, what happened to Wang Can? He ran towards the south gate. Did they find soldiers at the east gate?"
Zhang Fei said in a deep voice: "Every gate in the city is heavily guarded. No matter which gate Wang Can goes to, he will be blocked. Now that Wang Can has abandoned the east gate and ran towards the south gate, he must have done something.
It’s a conspiracy. Otherwise, Wang Can would run from the east gate to the south gate, which would not only waste the soldiers’ physical strength, but would also not be a good thing for Wang Can.”
Liu Bei scratched his head, unable to guess what Wang Can was thinking.
He looked back at the direction of Zhuge Liang and said to himself that it would be great if the military advisor was here.
However, it was clear that Liu Bei had to make his own decision at this time. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about so much. Our target is Wang Can. As long as we follow Wang Can closely, we will not go wrong."
Zhang Fei and Liu Han thought it was reasonable and continued to follow.
As long as Wang Can does not leave the city and is still in the city, and they hang tightly behind Wang Can, there will always be a chance to kill Wang Can. Once Wang Can is killed, everything will be solved, and the remaining soldiers in the city are not worth killing.
carry.
In this way, Liu Bei led his men to continue chasing Wang Can's Shu army.
Liu Bei wanted to catch up quickly, but his soldiers also spread their legs and ran wildly, but they still couldn't catch up.
Even if the people hanging behind are killed, they are very few and not worth mentioning.
In fact, Liu Bei was chasing, and the private soldiers following Wang Can were also running for their lives. For the chasing soldiers, it would not matter if they were a little slower, but for the fleeing soldiers,
If they ran slower, they would probably be killed. They didn't dare to slack off at all, and their running speed was absolutely top-notch.
On the way, Zhang Fei suggested again: "Brother, this is not our solution. I think we can divide our troops and go straight to the south gate, and let some soldiers take a small path and wait at the south gate to block Wang Can's way."
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "First of all, our spearmen are limited, and the real main force is ordinary soldiers. After the division of troops, the strength will definitely be weakened, and they may be counterattacked by Wang Can; secondly, we think Wang Can ran towards the south gate. If he changed his route midway,
This goes back and forth, but we keep dividing our troops, and in the end Wang Can can easily destroy us."
After a pause, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Third brother, chase him! Anyway, Wang Can is still in the city, and we have plenty of time. As long as Lu Meng doesn't come in, we have a chance to kill Wang Can."
Zhang Fei had no choice but to continue to follow Liu Bei.
Halfway through, Wang Can's command lost some soldiers, and three groups of soldiers were already separated.
When Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Liu Han saw this, they seemed to take it for granted and did not say anything.
Seeing this situation, Liu Bei's mind was already in a state of confusion. He couldn't guess what Wang Can was thinking, but he felt something was vaguely wrong in his heart. Wang Can had spent so much effort, but there were soldiers leaving halfway. It was obviously wrong.
! Logically speaking, Wang Can wanted him to divide his troops, but now that Liu Bei has not divided his troops, Wang Can should not continue.
Everything is full of weirdness.
Liu Bei scratched his head and ears, unable to figure out the key.
When approaching the south gate, Wang Can's soldiers lost another group, already missing four parts. However, after Wang Can's men approached the south gate, they still had a tacit understanding not to approach the south gate, but ran towards the west gate. In this way
Come, almost continuously running around Xiangyang City, not only the chasing soldiers are tired, but the running soldiers are also tired.
But those who chase can stop, but those who run dare not stop.
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Something's wrong, something seems wrong everywhere."
Liu Han scratched his messy bun, doubts appeared on his face and eyes, and he was very confused.
As for Liu Bei, his heart was even more muddled. He had already been knocked out. He couldn't figure out whether Wang Can was epileptic or not, but he was walking around the city without any problems. Liu Bei even planned to stop and see what happened to Wang Can.
What did he want to do? But when he thought of Guan Yu's hatred and the scene of Sun Qian and Jian Yong being killed, he couldn't stop.
Besides, he has a large army by his side and is not afraid of Wang Can.
Chase Wang Can and kill him again!
Liu Bei yelled: "No matter what tricks Wang Can plays, we just need to catch up and kill him."
The two armies were in front and behind, one was escaping and the other was chasing.
On the way to chase, Wang Can divided his troops for the fifth time, and another team left and ran towards the rest of the place. Liu Han and Zhang Fei were used to it, but their eyes were a little eager to try, and their doubtful looks turned into anticipation. Because if
If Wang Can is divided several times and they use spears to shoot, they may be able to kill a large number of people. Maybe there will be a chance to kill Wang Can?
Unfortunately, Wang Can didn't let Zhang Fei and Liu Han get what they wanted.
Halfway through, Wang Can changed his escape direction before reaching the north gate.
He no longer ran towards the north gate, but led the people to run towards the city. A large group of people suddenly changed their route, which made Liu Bei more confused. At the same time, the bad premonition in Liu Bei's heart became more intense. Liu Bei was bypassed by Wang Can
In such a large circle, it’s still hard to figure out what Wang Can’s plan is?
Liu Han asked again: "My lord, Wang Can ran towards the city, what should we do?"
Liu Bei rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What else can I do? Keep chasing!"
