"Report! Your Majesty, please let the Qiang and Nanman reinforcements enter our territory.
Calculating the distance, the Qiang people can reach Hanzhong in two days at most, and the Nanman people can reach Hanzhong in five days at most!"
Zhang Fei was killed, Tongguan was captured, and Liu Bei fell into a coma.
This plunged Chang'an into chaos.
In desperation, Zhuge Liang could only order the Han officials to take Liu Bei to move the capital.
Yes, it means moving the capital.
You know, the power of the giant ballista cart that Xiang Ji used to conquer Tongguan also reached Zhuge Liang's ears.
Xiang Ji knew that Wanying was a one-time product and could only conquer one Tong Pass.
But the problem is that Zhuge Liang doesn’t know!
Frightened by the threat of the giant ballista cart, Zhuge Liang had no confidence in being able to defend Chang'an.
Instead of fighting the Chu army in Chang'an, it is better to retreat to Hanzhong and rely on the dangerous terrain of Hanzhong to block the Chu army.
You know, that kind of heavy ballista vehicle can't go up mountain roads like Hanzhong anyway, right?
Zhuge Liang was still very confident about this.
Under Zhuge Liang's order, Chang'an Civil and Military began to move.
Just after his army left Chang'an, the comatose Liu Bei slowly woke up.
When he saw himself in the military formation, he immediately understood everything.
Liu Bei didn't say much about this.
Zhang Fei is dead, otherwise it would be a lie if he didn’t want to avenge him.
But this is the reality. Liu Bei would not have any confidence if he fought with Xiang Ji's army in Chang'an.
Therefore, with Liu Bei's tacit approval, the Han army came to Hanzhong.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the army arrived in Hanzhong, Liu Bei received a piece of exciting news.
Reinforcements are finally here!
You know, Liu Bei's million-strong army was defeated by Ma Chao in the north, and Zhang Liao took away 100,000 cavalry. In the south, Guan Yu led an army of 300,000 men in Jingzhou, defended Yuzhou with a 100,000-man army, and Gan-Ning navy had a 100,000-man army.
This is already a full 600,000 troops.
Previously, when Tongguan was lost, Liu Bei lost 200,000 troops.
Liu Bei's men in front of him only had 200,000 men.
This is why Liu Bei didn't have the courage to fight with Xiang Ji in Chang'an.
There are not enough troops!
But now! The time has finally come for Liu Bei to turn around.
The Qiang people sent a total of 150,000 cavalry to help, and the Nanman army sent 200,000 troops to help.
In this way, the number of soldiers under Liu Bei's command once again reached 500,000.
Facing Xiang Ji, who had only about 200,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei completely regained all his confidence.
Hum hum, little Xiang Ji, wait for me!
When my army is assembled, I will make sure you never come back this time!
"Prime Minister! Now we have a large army to reinforce us. We only need to stay for a few days and we can launch a counterattack against that country after it is assembled.
But I wonder how the war between Yangzhou and Hebei is going?
Do I want to continue to wait to cooperate with the other two armies?"
Now, all Liu Bei wants to do is to complete the battle.
As long as my three armies advance together, the Chu State of this country will surely perish overnight!
But before Zhuge Liang could answer him, a messenger soldier who was sweating profusely came over again.
"Report! Your Majesty, urgent report from Jingzhou front line!"
Just when he asked the question, the report had already arrived, and Liu Bei was immediately overjoyed!
Hahaha, today is really a good day for me!
"Tell me! Has my second brother already occupied Yangzhou in Chu State?
Where is Pengcheng? Didn’t my second brother attack Pengcheng?
Where is his army now?"
When he saw the envoy from Jingzhou, Liu Bei instinctively thought that Guan Yu's army had made a breakthrough.
After all, if you include Yuzhou’s defensive army and Ganning’s 100,000 navy troops in Jingzhou, that’s a full army of 500,000!
When Liu Bei thought about it, it was impossible for Guan Yu to fail with an army of 500,000.
But Liu Bei thought too much...
Upon hearing Liu Bei's question, the orderly soldier glanced at Liu Bei vaguely, looking like an idiot.
"Your Majesty... the entire territory of Yuzhou has been lost, and Lü Meng's army has entered Jingzhou.
General Gan Ning's navy was completely wiped out, and General Gan Ning was also killed...
As for the general's headquarters...
Now we have been defeated and are retreating to Jingzhou."
Because the messenger set out before Guan Yu fought with Lu Meng, the messenger did not know that Guan Yu had already been defeated in Jiangxia and was now in a desperate situation.
But even so, Liu Bei was stunned.
How is it possible? Failed?
Five hundred thousand troops! Defeated?
How many troops does Chu have in total in the south?
Liu Bei knew that Yuzhou was attacked by Lu Meng, but Liu Bei didn't know that Yuzhou, which had a hundred thousand defenders, was lost so quickly!
Even Gan Ning died?
This is one of the five tiger generals of Shu Han!
After Zhang Fei, Gan Ning became the second Five Tiger general killed in the Shu Han Dynasty.
Shocked by the bad news, Liu Bei almost fainted again.
Similarly, not only Liu Bei was shocked, but Zhuge Liang and all the Shu Han officials present were also shocked.
The focus of Shu Han's strategy is Liu Bei's army in the middle, and Guan Yu's army in the south!
Unexpectedly, the two main Shu Han armies failed one after another?
So...what about the north? What about the war in the north?
"Report! Urgent report from Hebei!"
Just when the ministers were worried about the war in the north, the third messenger rushed in.
Seeing the sweaty messenger, everyone present, including Liu Bei, looked expectantly at the messenger who brought information about the war in the north.
Now, the Shu and Han armies have been defeated one after another, and the northern army has become the last hope in the hearts of the Shu Han monarchs and ministers.
Being stared at by countless pairs of scorching eyes, the messenger was startled.
Damn, what's going on?
However, his mission is to convey the battle situation on the front line. Even if the messenger has many questions in his mind, he does not have the courage to ask these big bosses.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Hebei!
The Chu army suddenly sent out a cavalry to attack the Xiongnu royal court. The Xiongnu royal court was captured by the Chu army, and the Xiongnu chief chanyu died in the battle.
As for our Han-Hungarian coalition forces... they were also defeated under the attack of the Chu army.
The Xiongnu army was completely destroyed, General Zhang Liao surrendered to Chu, and General Ma Chao also died for his country."
Because the distance to the north was relatively close, the messenger's arrival this time brought quite detailed frontline news to Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei heard that the Northern Army had been destroyed, his allies the Huns were annihilated, Zhang Liao surrendered, and Ma Chao was killed, he was completely unable to resist the fear in his heart and decisively passed out again.
But this time, Liu Bei had no loyal ministers to help him when he fainted.
Everyone present heard such bad news one after another, and their legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
Shu Han was defeated in three battles!?
The offensive and defensive momentum of the Chu-Han War is about to be completely reversed!
