Chapter 992 Intercepting the Han Army(1/2)
"Third brother, no."
Liu Bei waved his hand and sighed and said to Zhang Fei:
"Although fighting with the Chu army can make a quick move, our Han Dynasty will be in a state of irreversible destruction.
The Han Dynasty has not yet prospered, so Bei cannot die yet!"
"Brother!"
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei excitedly and held Liu Bei's hand tightly.
"No matter what decision my brother makes, I will sacrifice my life to follow you!"
Guan Yu thought about it and said to Liu Bei:
"While the Chu army has not yet attacked, brother, think about how we should deal with it.
Is it a fight or a retreat?"
Liu Bei asked Guan Yu:
"What if Yun Chang thought he was alone?"
Guan Yu responded to Liu Bei:
"The military advisor was defeated by Shangfanggu, and our army had lost the opportunity to win.
In my opinion, our army should quickly withdraw to Chang'an and station a large army in Tongguan to resist strong Chu.
As for the two states of Yongliang... we can only slowly draw on it."
"At this point, that's all."
Liu Bei said to Guan Erjiang:
"Let the soldiers set out and withdraw back to Chang'an immediately!"
Liu Bei deserves the reputation of Liu Paopao, and he is not vague at all when he runs away.
When Yuan Shu was consolidating his army, Liu Bei had already led his army to Chang'an.
Upon receiving the news from the Anmen, Yuan Shu smiled at the counselors and generals around him:
"Liu Da'er is a decisive person. He should not do anything and immediately withdrew his troops.
However, it was not that easy for him to escape back to Chang'an.
All the generals obeyed the order and followed the will of their own way to block the Han army in three ways. They must capture Liu Bei alive!"
"Capture Liu Bei alive!"
"Capture Liu Bei alive!!"
Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Sun Ce, Ma Chao, Bai Xin, Chen Qingzhi and other generals all responded excitedly.
Even Zhou Yu and Lu Xun had the idea of leading their troops to capture Liu Bei.
Liu Bei is the King of Han, one of the few people in the world who can be called his king's opponent.
If Liu Bei could be captured, the Han Dynasty would collapse in an instant, which would be more than the many generals he had captured.
At this time, the disadvantages of Liu Bei's follow-up were highlighted.
If he did not lead his army to the rear of the Chu army, he could retreat to Tongguan calmly when he saw that things were not done. Yuan Shu couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
But if you want to go back at this time, you can't avoid the interception of the Chu army.
Although all the roads lead to Tongguan, Liu Bei's route to return to the army was far less dangerous than Jieting.
However, under the surround of the 300,000 Chu army, the 100,000 elite soldiers under his command would have to be skinned even if they did not die.
Liu Bei is now like a frightened bird, and he has to let the scouts investigate wherever he goes.
Only after confirming that there was no ambush ahead did Liu Bei dare to lead his army.
When the army reached a jungle, Liu Bei ordered his soldiers to stop advancing.
Zhang Fei asked Liu Bei with a bitter face:
"Brother, what's wrong?"
As they walked and stopped along the way, when they encountered valleys and jungles, Liu Bei would stop and ask someone to investigate.
Zhang Fei can still bear it once or twice, but he feels bored after a long time.
Liu Bei's eyes turned red, tears fell, and he said sadly:
"This forest is so dangerous. If the Chu army set up an ambush here, what can we do?"
Zhang Fei was most afraid of Liu Bei's tears.
Every time Liu Bei cried, Zhang Fei felt deeply distressed.
He quickly comforted Liu Bei with kind words:
"Brother, stop crying, you have investigated five or six times along the way.
How could Yuan Shu be so amazing?
How could he know even what path we go?
Let me say this place must be safe.”
Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei in a deep voice:
"It is right for brother to be cautious, be careful and there is no big mistake.
So he asked the soldiers to go to the forest to explore it so that the elder brother could feel at ease."
More than ten Han army scouts entered the forest to explore according to Guan Yu's order.
Waited for a quarter of an hour, but no one returned.
Liu Bei couldn't even wipe his tears, and exclaimed in silence:
"There must be an ambush in this forest, withdraw the troops quickly!"
Liu Bei hurriedly ordered the army to retreat, but found smoke and dust rolling behind him.
A general holding a Fangtian Painted Gaul led his Bingzhou wolf cavalry and tens of thousands of infantrymen to rush from afar.
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei with shock and said:
"Brother, Chu Jun is really crying by you!"
Lu Bu waved his Fangtian Painting Ji in his hand, asking his soldiers to line up to wait for the enemy, ready to attack Liu Bei's army at any time.
His eyes were red and he stared at Liu Bei and said:
"Liu Bei's common man, can he still know Lu Fengxian?"
The grudge between Liu Bei and Lu Bu cannot be explained clearly in one sentence.
The two of them were both officials under Dong Zhuo's command and also planned to kill the old thief.
In the end, he turned against him and became enemies. Lu Bu lost to Liu Bei and was driven out of Chang'an by him.
Even Gan Yuer, her beloved woman at that time, fell into Liu Bei's hands.
It can be said that Liu Bei and Lu Bu had a grudge against killing their father and a grudge against taking their wife.
Lu Bu led his army today, one to capture Liu Bei alive and make contributions, and the other to avenge his personal revenge.
Liu Bei was shocked when he saw Lu Bu and knew that Lu Bu was not good at coming.
But there was no good idea at this time, so I could only face Lu Bu with a tough bullet.
Liu Bei pressed the double-stranded sword in his hand, took two steps forward, and bowed to Lu Bu:
"It turned out to be Wen Hou.
After not seeing each other for several years, Wen Hou’s style remains the same.”
Lu Bu looked at Liu Bei and said with a grim smile:
"Big ear thief!
You don't have to get close to me.
Today I will come to capture you by the order of the king.
If you know the truth and wait honestly, you can still suffer less flesh and blood.
Otherwise, the Fang Tian Hua Ji in my hand would not recognize anyone!"
Speaking of this, Lu Bu shouted:
"All the generals obeyed the orders and followed me to rush to the enemy formation and captured Liu Bei alive!"
"Catch Liu Bei alive!!"
Under the leadership of the head wolf Lu Bu, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry waved the sharp blade in his hand and launched a charge towards the Han army.
The Chu army infantry also followed and fought with Liu Bei's army.
