Looking at Mrs. Cai with lingering anger on her face, Xu Sheng was still extremely embarrassed despite the urgent situation.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Cai would be so...so shameless?
You know, there were at least several thousand soldiers besieging them, but she just directly announced her relationship with the Overlord?
Well, Xu Sheng also knew that this was the smartest thing to do, otherwise he might be knocked to the ground like Cai He, which would really ruin his majesty.
After simple negotiations, Xu Sheng finally figured out everything.
It turned out that the Cai family was also a victim, and even the Cai family's biggest supporter, the young emperor Liu Zong, was directly hanged in the palace.
For this, Xu Sheng could not blame the Cai family. After all, all this was caused by his and General Yu Jin's greed for merit and rash advancement.
It’s just a pity that General Yu Jin was killed!
Xu Sheng knew that Yu Jin, who had gone to provoke the Xichuan Army, might not have a chance to withdraw based on the current situation.
"General! Please general, please take all my Cai family members with you when you retreat. I will thank you very much when my wife can see the overlord later!"
Mrs. Cai on the side saw that Xu Sheng had understood everything, and immediately asked him to take her and others to retreat together.
After Xu Sheng complained just now, everyone in the Cai family also knew that the current situation was that the Jingzhou army was about to encircle the Chu army.
And the exit of the Cai family's secret passage happened to be right here. If he didn't retreat with the Chu army, he would have died inexplicably.
Mrs. Cai's words brought Xu Sheng back.
Looking at the Cai family members with eager faces, Xu Sheng suddenly saw hope again in his heart.
Under the current situation, although it is unrealistic for the entire army to retreat, it is still possible for a small number of troops to break through.
But Xu Sheng didn’t dare!
The defeat of the general Jin and tens of thousands of soldiers and armors left Yangzhou's military strength empty. From then on, it was no longer possible to interfere with Liu Bei's plot to capture Jingzhou.
This is such a serious sin.
Xu Sheng was really scared. He was afraid that after seeing the Overlord, he would pull him out and chop him down in anger.
Do you want to say betray the Overlord and surrender to Liu Bei or Jingzhou Army?
Xu Sheng had never thought about this.
The ancients valued loyalty, and the so-called scholar died for his confidant.
Although Xu Sheng was a surrendered general, what did he mean when he surrendered from the Wu State to the Chu State? A general sounds good, but he is not much higher than a big-headed soldier.
His current status was all promoted by the Overlord.
How could Xu Sheng not be grateful for this?
Xu Sheng was not Yu Jin, he did not have a mind that was higher than the sky, and he did not have any trouble with Jia Xu, so he only had a heart of gratitude and loyalty to the Chu State and to the overlord Xiang Ji.
Surrender was impossible, and Xu Sheng was unwilling to go back and die, which completely stumped him.
Now, the appearance of Mrs. Cai has brought hope to Xu Sheng.
No matter how you say it, this person is also the person who slept with the overlord!
No matter how you say it, this person, who was also the former Queen Mother of Jingzhou, is quite impressive, isn't she?
Thinking about it, as long as you take this person safely away from Jingzhou, some of your own sins will be offset to some extent, right?
With the decision made in his heart, Xu Sheng no longer hesitated.
"The whole army listens to the order, gathers and reorganizes, we break out!
Mrs. Cai, you Cai family members should follow our army to break out of the encirclement, Xu Sheng will do his best to protect you, Mrs. Cai."
The rest of the Cai family? Xu Sheng doesn't care.
So what if everyone dies?
As long as Mrs. Cai can be safely taken away from Jingzhou, Xu Sheng will have fulfilled his expectations.
"Thank you so much, General Gaoyi. This kindness will never be forgotten by our Cai family!"
Seeing that Xu Sheng agreed to lead him and others to break out of the encirclement, everyone in the Cai family, headed by Mrs. Cai, was overjoyed.
Cai Mao couldn't help but feel happy about this.
Fortunately, fortunately, I made a decisive decision and returned to the palace to take my little sister away. Otherwise, I am afraid that all of us in the Cai family would have become dead souls under the sword of the Chu Army.
"kill!"
"Come on!"
Under the leadership of Xu Shengshen, the Chu army no longer waited, and immediately launched a charge towards the Jingzhou army from the rear who was still furiously attacking the camp.
Similarly, except for Mrs. Cai, who was firmly protected by the Central Army, the rest of the Cai family also took out their weapons and waved their weapons at the Jingzhou soldiers who once wanted to look up to these former colleagues.
.
After all, you know your own situation.
If it were not for Mrs. Cai, then the Cai family would be nothing in Xu Sheng's eyes. If they did not work hard to assist the Chu army at this time, even if they were really in danger, Xu Sheng would never delay for them for even one second.
"Damn it! Stop them, we can't let them break through!"
Su Fei, who was responsible for storming the east gate of the Chu army's camp, was shocked when he saw that the Chu army chose to break out of his defense area.
You must know that his commander-in-chief, General Gan Ning, gave a death order. As a former soldier, he must hold back the Chu army and wait for the Jingzhou army to completely encircle it.
Now, how long has it passed before the Chu army has already reacted?
Damn it! Where is the Xichuan army? Didn’t they attack the Chu army?
Obviously, because they were more than ten miles apart, Chen Ju didn't know that the Xichuan army was still busy chasing the 30,000 Chu troops brought out by Yu Jinsuo.
And this just gave the Chu army a glimmer of hope to break through.
Otherwise, according to the plan of the Xichuan Army, they should have attacked the Chu Army's camp first to divert its attention, and then the Jingzhou Army launched a fatal blow from the Chu Army's rear wing.
This can be regarded as Yu Jin's final contribution to the Chu army.
At the very least, his goal was achieved, and he really captured the attention of the Xichuan army.
However, Chen was determined to stop the enemy, but his own strength was limited.
Although the number of soldiers he led was no less than that of the Chu army, their combat effectiveness was far inferior.
You know, Jiang Xia's army was massacred by Xiang Ji once before.
Most of today's Jiangxia Army is just a new army, and its combat power can naturally be imagined.
Facing the Chu army who was bent on breaking through, it was really not enough for these new Jiangxia troops to stand up to them head-on.
"Jiang Xia Su Fei is here!"
Seeing that his soldiers were unable to stop the Chu army, Su Fei was so anxious that he had no choice but to go to war himself.
Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng was immediately overjoyed when he appeared.
You must know that although the Jingzhou army is not as powerful as the Chu army, it will still delay its breakout time.
It is still unknown how many Jingzhou troops came to encircle and suppress the Chu army. How could Xu Sheng dare to delay with this Jingzhou army for too long?
Now that he saw his general fighting in person, Xu Sheng said nothing, swung the sword in his hand, and rushed towards Su Fei who was still calling for formation.
"Kill me!"
A loud shout came out, and Xu Sheng's knife came out from the diagonal stab and was already in front of Su Fei.
"Xu Sheng!?"
These were the last words Su Fei left in this world.
