"Lin Hai, how much time do you need to renovate the team?"

After Ma Qiang and Yu Zheng left, he immediately asked Lin Hai.

"Our army has not suffered much losses, it is enough for one night!"

"Okay, since Ji Ling has escaped Weishui, I think he will get along with Liu Bei soon.

The army will set off tomorrow morning, and I don’t know if this Liu Xuande still recognizes me as the leader.”

"Don't worry, if he dares not admit it, I will beat him until he thinks it!"

Ma Qiang and Lin Hai looked at each other and smiled.

Finally reached the last step.

——Pingshou

Liu Bei, who had quickly withdrawn his troops, had already passed Ju County and arrived in Pingshou.

He was resting in the city before he fell asleep, he received news that Ji Ling had been defeated and fled outside the city.

"Thirty thousand troops...you're going to lose them?"

Liu Bei prayed along the way that Ji Ling could support him and protect his way out. At this time, he saw Ji Ling in a mess, and his heart was almost cold.

"What's the use of losing your troops to lose your land?" Chen Gong bowed and said to Liu Bei, "Ji Ling should be killed!"

Liu Bei waved his hand and sighed, "This battle is not the fault of Ji Ling...

Two gentlemen, Chief Yun, Oh, General Ji, let’s get up and sit down, let’s discuss together, what should we do next?

Hebei soldiers will arrive within two days, and our army is in danger..."

Chen Deng and others could almost kill the flies with their eyebrows.

The current situation is no different from the desperate situation for the Xuzhou army.

Huang Zhong's First Legion came from the west, Ma Qiang's Guard Legion came from the east, and the sea was in the north, and the only way out seemed to be in the south.

But Ma Qiang came from Langya County in the south. Needless to think about it, Langya County must have been lost.

Liu Bei and others sat like this all night. When the sky turned white, Chen Deng finally said, "Ming Gong, there are only two strategies to do now."

"Oh? Mr. Yuanlong, say it!"

“Or fight until the last moment.

Or surrender to Ma Ziyu..."

surrender?

"Bold! My brother is a relative of the Han Dynasty. How can he surrender the rebels?" Guan Yu stood up and shouted in anger.

"Ma Ziyu is a general after all, and she is not considered a traitor..."

"You! Chen Yuanlong, you dare to say this again. Don't blame Guan for being ruthless under the knife!"

"Yun Chang Shuo! Mr. Chen is just thinking of a solution... Didn't Mr. Chen just say that he had reached the last moment of the battle?"

Guan Yu snorted and sat down again with his sword.

Liu Bei sighed to the sky and said, "Everyone, I, Liu Bei, have been naughty since I was a child. Although I was fortunate to be under the clan of Mr. Lu, I don't like to study.

But even so, Liu Bei knew one truth.

That is, the thief is incompatible!

Although our Xuzhou was defeated, there was still Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, Liu Jiyu in Yizhou, and Liu Zhengli in Yangzhou.

Even if I cannot save the emperor from water and fire, I will never surrender, which will make the benevolent and righteous people in the Han Dynasty despair!”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked at Chen Dao and asked, "How much food and grass are there in the army?"

"The retreat was in a hurry, and the remaining grain in the army was less than five days."

Liu Bei nodded, touched his male and female swords and said, "Tell the soldiers of the army that our army's retreat has been cut off, and I want to fight for the Han Dynasty until the last moment!

As I wish, I fought to the end with Liu Bei, and stayed.

If you don't want to, give three-day rations and let them escape...

By the way, half of the remaining money in the army was distributed to them as a way to deal with money on the road.”

"Brother, our army is short of troops, think twice!"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Listen to me, brother!"

Guan Yu lowered his head and sighed, and sat down again.

Liu Bei said again, "Even so, I, Liu Bei, are not ready to sit and wait for death!

Although Langya is likely to fall, there must be not many soldiers and horses left there.

I am going to take Zhuxu and pass the Wenshui River to enter Langya. As long as I go well, I will be able to get rid of Hebei's troops.

It's just... in order to delay time, one person needs to stay here..."

Ji Ling immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Eunuch, let the Mo be left behind!"

"General Ji? This battle is a life-threatening death, have you thought about it?"

Ji Ling smiled and said, "The last general should have died in Huainan as early as possible. Fortunately, the envoy took him in and survived to this day.

The last general worked for Yuan’s family all his life, but when he died, he still hoped to die as a Han general!!”

"General Ji, please accept Guan's worship!"

Guan Yu stood up and bowed deeply to Ji Ling, and Ji Ling was flattered.

After joining the Xuzhou Army for so long, Guan Yu has never given him any good face.

"General Guan is not allowed!"

"What Guan worships is your loyalty and courage, what's wrong?"

Liu Bei also bowed deeply to Ji Ling. Ji Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and he bowed back to Guan Yu and Liu Bei.

——

When they learned that the retreat was cut off, the Xuzhou army was in chaos. When they learned that Liu Bei was willing to let them go, the soldiers were grateful, but they ran away with money and food, for fear that Liu Bei would regret it.

After the soldiers who chose to leave were gone, there were less than seven or eight thousand left in Liu Bei's army.

Although there are few people, they are united and are mostly elite guards of each general, otherwise they would not have stayed.

Liu Bei left three thousand soldiers and horses for Ji Ling, and took less than five thousand left out of the city and walked south.

In addition, Liu Bei also asked the five thousand people to be divided into five teams, more than a mile away from each other, so as to mix in the already scattered Xuzhou army everywhere in order to cover up the eyes.

And in this way, if the Hebei army is really caught up, the Hebei army doesn't know where Liu Bei is hiding, which also increases the chance of Liu Bei's escape.

I have to say that Liu Bei is still full of talent when it comes to escaping...

——

"Catched the deserters of Xuzhou Army?"

Ma Qiang, who had just crossed the Weishui River, did not expect to get in touch with Liu Beijun so soon.

"In fact, it was a bit reluctant to say that it was a deserter. These people were let go by Liu Bei. According to the instructions of the captured soldiers, Liu Bei gave them two days of rations and some money, informing them that we had cut off their retreat, and then let them choose whether they would like to stick to Pingshou City."

Ma Qiang frowned when he heard this.

What is the operation?

"General! If these soldiers only had two days of food rations, they would definitely rob and harass the place!" Lin Hai thought of so many Xuzhou troops running around on the ground of Qingzhou, and even turned into bandits, and his head began to grow bigger.

"Immediately generate electricity from all counties in Qingzhou to make them more vigilant.

First deal with Liu Bei, then deal with these scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers!"

"promise!"

"Trust the troops to speed up the marching and target - Pingshou County!"

Chunyu arrived in Pingshou for only more than fifty miles, and after passing Weishui, it was less than forty miles. Taishici's cavalry scouts quickly spread news about Pingshou City.

Pingshou City was very lively at this time. You could smell the aroma of meat and rice from the city outside the city, as if a banquet was being held in the city.

"Hmph, I dare to do this for only five days of food rations. It seems that Liu Bei wants to sit and wait for death!"
