Liu Bei occupied Wancheng. The situation inside the city was excellent, but the situation outside the city was bleak.
After Ma Chao and Ma Xiu escaped, all the Han soldiers followed and dispersed.
Dian Wei, Lu Meng, Huang Xu, Zhou Cang and others led soldiers to quickly encircle and suppress the Han soldiers outside the city. Liu Bei sent a total of 6,000 soldiers. After a fight, more than 4,000 soldiers were left. Now they dispersed in a rush.
, being chased by Lu Meng and others, Zhancha Shi lost more than 2,000 people, and the remaining more than 1,000 people all fled.
Liu Bei looked at the scene outside the city and stamped his feet in anger.
At this time, Liu Bei also felt a little regretful and felt that he should not have done everything.
If he had not allowed Ma Chao to enter the city, Ma Chao and Ma Xiu would not have left.
After Chen Gong saw Liu Bei's expression, he guessed Liu Bei's thoughts and said: "My lord, it is useless to regret now. What we need to do now is to eliminate the hidden dangers in the city and kill all the soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command. Only in this way can we ensure that
The city is safe, otherwise Wang Can’s army will come, and we will have to face not only foreign enemies, but also internal troubles, and the situation will be very dangerous."
Liu Bei took a deep breath, raised his hands and said, "What you said on the public platform makes sense!"
"Tap! Tread!"
While Chen Gong and Liu Bei were having a close conversation, steady footsteps came from behind.
Liu Bei looked back, but Zhang Fei was back. He looked puzzled and said in confusion: "Third brother, you led the soldiers to destroy Zhang Xiu's soldiers, why did you come back so soon? Did you kill Zhang Xiu?"
Embroidered?"
When speaking, Liu Bei had a look of expectation in his eyes.
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Zhang Xiu led his troops to escape from Wancheng, but he couldn't be caught."
Liu Bei asked: "You led the troops to pursue and fight fiercely, but even Zhang Xiu escaped?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "When I led the army to catch up, Zhang Xiu led his soldiers to break out from the north gate and killed them directly. I thought we still had to garrison Wancheng, so I didn't continue the pursuit."
Liu Bei led his troops to attack the south gate of Wancheng, but did not seal the east gate, west gate and north gate of Wancheng.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren retreated with their troops, and after reuniting with Lei Xu's soldiers, they withdrew directly.
Chen Gong thought for a while and said: "Lord, we occupy Wancheng. Although we can defend Wancheng and wait for reinforcements from Jingzhou and Runan to attack Wang Can, the current problem is whether we can support them until they arrive. This is the most urgent
The problem. Furthermore, after all the soldiers looted for three days, the city was in chaos, which was not conducive to garrisoning!"
A cold light flashed in Liu Bei's eyes and he asked: "Gongtai, do you mean to withdraw your troops and leave?"
Chen Gong nodded solemnly and said nothing.
Zhang Fei waved his hand and said immediately: "Brother, we cannot retreat in the decisive battle with Wang Can. I have always kept my second brother's hatred in my heart and vividly remembered it. Now that we have captured Wancheng, as long as the reinforcements arrive, we can fight out and fight with him."
Wang Can has a decisive battle."
Liu Bei said: "Third brother, don't worry, we will definitely defeat Wang Can."
Zhang Fei looked at Chen Gong and said: "Commander, our brothers want revenge, you don't need to interfere!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei turned around and left to rectify the soldiers.
Chen Gong had a wry smile on his face, Zhang Fei was thinking about avenging Guan Yu, and Liu Bei was thinking about defeating Wang Can. How could he do this without considering the actual situation?
The battlefield situation is changing all the time.
If you can easily capture Wancheng, restrain the soldiers from looting the people, and prevent the soldiers from committing any crimes, then you will have a chance to compete with Wang Can.
However, if soldiers go around robbing women and money, there will definitely be chaos in the city.
The people also resented Liu Bei and would not support Liu Bei.
In this case, it is obviously unwise to just defend an isolated city. Without the advantage of time, people and people, it is too risky to just rely on an empty fortified city. Chen Gong opened his mouth and wanted to persuade
Liu Bei, but when he saw Liu Bei's unmoved expression, he gave up the idea of persuading him.
As Liu Bei occupied Wancheng, the city was completely in chaos.
In the city, soldiers could be seen laughing and robbing women everywhere, and soldiers could be seen running around carrying gold and silver money. Scenes like this were common, and fires were burning in many places in the city.
Everything was caused by Han soldiers.
Chen Gong got off the tower and walked slowly in the city.
He saw that the city had turned into hell, and his face became extremely pale. Chen Gong's hands and feet were cold and his steps were stumbling. He seemed to have aged much at this moment, and his whole person's energy and spirit suddenly disappeared. The soldiers coming and going saluted Chen Gong, but
Chen Gong, however, seemed to be a demented puppet, moving forward bit by bit.
Ideal and reality are so cruel.
Everything is his fault!
Suddenly, Chen Gong squatted down suddenly, choking silently, and muddy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and wet his clothes.
…
Outside the city, Lu Meng and Dian Wei were arranging their troops to prepare for war, and gathered their soldiers again.
Dian Wei looked at the devastated city wall and said in a deep voice: "Amon, we brought five thousand soldiers, but now we have lost more than a thousand soldiers. We lack the strength and it is impossible to attack the city. What should we do?"
Lu Meng's expression was stern, and his eyes also showed a dignified look.
Huang Xu said: "General Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu are both in the city, what should we do?"
Zhou Cang continued: "If their brothers and sisters are trapped in the city, they will definitely not survive tonight. If we don't take the initiative to attack the city, we will not be able to attract the Han soldiers in the city and relieve the pressure on Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren. Little General,
I think no matter how many of our soldiers are left, we should launch an attack, otherwise Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu may be in danger."
Lu Meng looked at the bloodstained city wall and fell into a difficult decision.
After a long time, Lu Meng said: "Okay, prepare to attack the city!"
As Zhou Cang said, if he did not send troops to attack the city, Liu Bei's soldiers would all go to surround Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren, and they would definitely be in great danger. Therefore, only attacking the city can relieve the pressure on Zhang Ren and his brothers.
Lu Meng slowly raised his long sword and pointed it at the tower in the air, preparing to attack.
At this time, the sound of messy footsteps and the roar of soldiers suddenly came from the south of Wancheng.
Lu Meng was stunned, and when he looked around, he found that it was Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu who led the soldiers to run over. Lu Meng looked happy, immediately put down his long sword, and breathed a long sigh of relief. It is really not appropriate to attack Wancheng now, because of the strength of the troops.
There are not enough, there are no equipment, if we attack by force, the remaining 3,000 soldiers will definitely be lost.
Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu escaped, so he wouldn't have to face such great pressure.
When the two armies met, Zhang Ren asked: "Little general, what should we do now?"
Zhang Xiu looked at Lü Meng, knowing that Lü Meng was Wang Can's disciple and that Lü Meng had made great military exploits, but Zhang Xiu only nodded to Lü Meng and did not address him directly.
Lu Meng did not argue with Zhang Xiu and said: "Retract the troops and wait until the teacher comes with his troops."
Dian Wei said: "In that case, let's retreat first!"
Dian Wei's voice fell, and another rumbling sound came from behind the army.
Wang Can's army finally arrived.
Lu Meng's face showed a hint of joy and he immediately said: "Let's go to meet the teacher." As he spoke, Lu Meng turned his horse's head and rushed to the rear of the army. Wherever Lu Meng passed, the soldiers made way for him.
Lu Meng and others passed through.
Zhang Ren glanced at Zhang Xiu, saw Zhang Xiu's expression flickering, and said, "Brother, don't be nervous!"
Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "The King of Shu and I met a few years ago. It's okay!" As he spoke, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren followed Lu Meng and quickly rushed towards Wang Can's position.
