Running wildly all the way, Lu Bu led his army to withdraw from the Wudu battlefield overnight, and returned to Chang'an in just one day.
Looking at the "Han" banner at the top of Chang'an City, Lu Bu was almost so angry that he fell off his horse.
"Attack! Attack with the whole army! Retake Chang'an and kill the Sima clan!"
Now, Lu Bu doesn't have much hatred for Liu Bei. The only thing he hates in his heart is the betrayal of his Sima clan and his betrayal of his adopted son Sima Yi.
In Lu Bu's view, the Chang'an flag change was just a trick of the Sima clan, who wanted to sell it well to the new master.
Lu Bu still had a good idea of the military strength in Chang'an City.
He originally thought that the Xiliang army could retake Chang'an with a casual charge, but when countless soldiers wearing Han army armor appeared on the city wall, Lu Bu was completely confused.
How is this possible? Aren’t the Han troops still in Wudu?
How could they appear in Chang'an? Looking at the number of people, they are probably no less than the soldiers and horses under his command.
This really made Lu Bu unbelievable.
Lu Bu couldn't believe it, and the Xiliang army couldn't believe it either.
You know, their relatives and family members are also in Chang'an.
Now, as Qin King Lu Bu went out of the city for two days and came back, he found that his home was gone, and the enemy was not even weaker than himself. How could the Xiliang army accept this?
Morale, plummeting like crazy.
"Hahaha! Lu Bu, you have fallen into His Majesty's scheme!"
Standing at the top of the city, Zhang Ren looked at the lost Lu Bu, feeling indescribable joy in his heart.
What King of Qin? What flying general? Aren’t you like a lost dog in front of me, Zhang Ren?
Liu Bei!?
Hearing what Zhang Ren said at the top of the city, Lu Bu understood.
I am afraid that without the betrayal of the Sima clan, Chang'an would not be able to be defended.
Liu Bei clearly divided his forces into three groups and planned to devour him in one go!
It's ridiculous that I went out of the city to fight Liu Bei, turning Chang'an into an empty city.
Damn it, damn it!
"The whole army retreats! We retreat to Huguan!"
Now, Lu Bu has no other choice, either to fight to the death with Liu Bei and then be destroyed in the wilderness of this pass.
Or, surrender to Liu Bei and become his dog.
Lu Bu could not accept the above two points in his heart.
Therefore, Lu Bu chose the third way, retreated to Huguan, and continued to resist stubbornly.
Although this was just drinking poison to quench his thirst, Lu Bu was unwilling to be destroyed by that despicable villain.
Now, what Lu Bu is waiting for is Zhang Liao's 100,000-strong army.
As long as Zhang Liao can lead his army back, then Lu Bu is not without the power to fight Liu Bei.
Regarding the retreat of Lu Bu's army, Zhang Ren, who was guarding Chang'an, could only watch and was unable to interfere.
His family knew his own affairs, and when it came to field battles, Lu Bu, who had more than 10,000 Xiliang cavalry, really abused him.
When Liu Bei arrived with his army, he learned from Zhang Ren that Lu Bu was still resisting and his army had retreated to the front line of Huguan.
In this regard, Liu Bei could only sigh helplessly.
After all, the Han army's field strength was limited, and Liu Bei did not dare to take on Lu Bu head-on, otherwise the losses would be too great and it would break his bones.
"Zhang Ren, I will leave you another 50,000 troops, and I will leave it to you to capture the entire territory of Guanzhong.
Remember, Lu Bu must not be allowed to walk out of Huguan alone!"
Under the current circumstances, it was unrealistic to storm Huguan, so Liu Bei could only choose to leave Lu Bu there for the time being.
Huh, Lu Bu? Don’t you just count on Zhang Liao’s 100,000 troops?
After I kill him, I think you, Lu Bu, can still dance around for a few days.
The soldiers were so fast that Liu Bei and even Chang'an did not even take a step forward. He left behind an army of 50,000 and headed straight towards Xiping with his troops.
But now, only by uniting Zhang Fei's 100,000 troops, can we have a chance to completely retain Qin's last strength, Zhang Liao's 100,000 troops.
Just as Liu Bei joined Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, who had already arrived in Tianshui, also fought with Ma Chao.
"Meng Qi! His Highness has taken you very seriously, why are you doing this?"
Facing his former colleagues, Zhang Liao felt helpless.
Now that the Qin State was already in a state of turmoil after experiencing the great defeat in Hebei, now Ma Chao led the people of Xiliang to rebel and revolt, which made the Qin State even worse.
As the first general to follow Lu Bu to conquer the world, Zhang Liao watched with his own eyes the establishment of Qin, its glory, and its gradual end. It would be a lie to say that he was not sad.
"Not thin? Hahaha! Not thin?
Zhang Wenyuan! I, Ma Chao, respect you as a good man, but you actually said such childish words?
That Lu Bu, that damn Lu Bu, he just listened to the slander and killed my Ma family, you tell me this is not a bad thing? What qualifications does such a thief have to become the lord of my Ma Chao!"
He was not very loyal to Lu Bu, and now he had his whole family killed. Ma Chaozhou hated him deeply.
After hearing Ma Chao's words, Zhang Liao also knew that he was wrong and could only sigh helplessly.
Lu Bu has changed.
After experiencing the great defeat in Hebei, Lu Bu became headstrong, suspicious, and no longer had any ambition to strive for hegemony.
And this is exactly the reason why Lu Bu just heard the rumors about Ma Chao and directly killed Ma Teng's family.
It's because he is too afraid, afraid of betrayal, and afraid of loss.
"General Zhang Liao, you are also a well-known figure in this world, why do you still follow Lu Bu, who brought about his own destruction?
Now that the general trend of the world has become clear, I, Ma Chao, have sworn allegiance to Shu Han.
Now, I am afraid that all the land in Guanzhong has been taken by the Emperor of Han, and it is hard to say whether Lu Bu will live or die.
General Zhang Liao, why don't you come with me to serve the Han Emperor Liu Bei?"
Seeing Zhang Liao look ashamed after what he said, Ma Chao became wise for once.
Now is a great time to recruit and surrender this Liao!
If Zhang Liao and his soldiers could be surrendered, it would be a great achievement.
Although Ma Chao is saddened by the death of his family, the deceased is gone. A living person always has to think about his future, right?
What!?
Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard what Ma Chao said.
Didn't Ma Chao rashly raise an army to rebel?
Liu Bei? Damn it! Is he controlling everything behind his back?
Originally, Zhang Liao only thought that Ma Chao was seeking revenge for his father, so he rashly launched a rebellion.
Now it seems that both Qin King Lu Bu and himself were deceived by Liu Bei.
This Ma Chao is simply a pretense, simply trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Considering that the current military strength in Guanzhong is even less than 100,000, Zhang Liao has no doubts about Ma Chao's words.
If Liu Bei really wants to conquer Guanzhong, I'm afraid Qin King Lu Bu really can't resist it!
"The whole army retreats, we return to Guanzhong!"
Shocked to hear about the changes in Guanzhong, Zhang Liao no longer had the intention to destroy Ma Chao.
