Chapter 59 Sun Cao's combined troops to break Liu Bei and Nan Ye's appointment to challenge Sun Quan (15
Liu Bei hasn't received any state news for a long time. It can also be said that since Chen entered the city and Zhou Yu and Sima Yi joined forces to besiege the city, Liu Bei has never received any news about Bingzhou. At this time, Liu Bei was overjoyed to hear that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sent messengers. Although he did not know whether the news brought by the messenger was good or bad, at least it showed that Guan Yu was safe and sound.
As soon as several soldiers went to the hall, Liu Bei was shocked. They were all crooked and tired, and their bodies were still full of dust. Under the loess plaster, there were dark red blood stains, as if they were painted with a layer of red paint, and the original color of the armor could not be seen at all. Fortunately, the soldier washed his face before entering the hall, so that Liu Bei could barely recognize him as his own soldier.
Liu Bei asked nervously, "Are the second and third brothers okay?"
When the leading soldier saw Liu Bei as if he had seen his relatives, he knelt down and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, please help the two generals! If there are no more reinforcements, the state will be lost!"
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the words: "What the hell happened? Take your time!"
Another soldier cried and said, "Zhou Yu is unkind, abandons the alliance, and cooperates with Cao Pi to attack the general. The general was defeated and left. He wanted to return to Yanzhou, but Yanzhou was obtained by Lv Meng. Yanzhou lost and the path was cut off. The second general could not come to see his majesty, so he had to vote for the third general. Now the two generals and General Chen are trapped in Jinyang, and Zhou Yu and Sima Yi are besieged. The food and fodder in the city was about to run out, and the two generals ordered me to risk their lives to get out of the siege and report the news. There were more than a thousand people when the military horses left the city, and now there are only a few left to wait for me. Please ask your majesty to save the two generals. After saying that, I couldn't stop crying.
Liu Beisheng comforted him and asked some questions, so he ordered several soldiers to go down to rest. Then he frowned and asked Jian Yong, "Now that my second brother and third brother are trapped in Jinyang, I want to save all the soldiers in the city. What do you think?"
Jan Yong was shocked and said, "Your Majesty can't! Sun Quan is still under the city. If His Majesty goes to Bingzhou in person, Yuzhou will be lost! In my opinion, it's better to send a soldier and horse into Jinyang, make the two generals break through the siege and go back to Xuchang to guard the city with your majesty to wait for the reinforcements of the national division.
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "At present, we can't have both the two states of Henan. We can only work together to protect one. Although Yuzhou has a foundation for us, if Bingzhou is lost, won't it be dangerous for Mr. Kong Ming's return? What's more, how can Zhou Yu and Sima Yi easily break through the siege? On the other hand, Sun Quan's siege has been exhausted for a long time, and it is not difficult for us to break through.
Only then did Jian Yong remember that Zhuge Liang sent troops from Bingzhou to fight against the Xiongnu. If Bingzhou was lost, Zhuge Liang would be captured by Sima Yi and Zhou Yu. Jian Yong followed Liu Bei east and west since he started his army. He knows some of Liu Bei's ideas well. In Liu Bei's mind, talent is more important than land. If the territory is gone, it can be taken back. If people die, it will be all over. As the saying goes, if people lose their land, people and land will exist. If people lose their land, they will lose their land. Jian Yong recognized Liu Bei's concept very much, but still frowned and said, "If we abandon the city to transport grain, it will be slow. If Sun Quan rises up to pursue it, what can we do?"
Liu Bei had a plan for a long time, so he said, "Constitution and Ke can lead the soldiers to go first. I will falsely insert banners at the top of the city to lure Sun Quan to attack. If Sun Quan wants to break through the city and capture me, he will definitely let you and others. When I delay Sun Quan, I will abandon the city to meet you.
Jian Yong shook his head like a rattle and waved his hand and said, "How can Your Majesty be in danger? This is not a good plan!"
Liu Bei laughed and said, "I have fought all my life, and the crisis I have encountered is ten times better than this. There is a white army on the side. What's the danger?"
Jian Yong still shook his head and said, "Even if your majesty sacrifices his life to delay for a while, it won't help. Sun Quanda can take the city first and then pursue it, or I's better to be the same!"
Liu Bei said, "We will definitely come after Sun Quan, who left the city together. After leaving the city, Xianhe can first send the grain and fodder to Sili, ask the Dart Bureau to transport it, and then go to Bingzhou. There is no need to worry about Sun Quan to chase them.
Jian Yong knew that Zhenyuan Dart Bureau had a rule not to transport goods in the war zone. This rule was set by Nanye when he created the Dart Bureau, which was worried that the Dart Bureau would be involved in a dispute between the two armies. After all, no matter how powerful the darts are, the number cannot be compared with the army of the princes. The darts are not soldiers, and the task is not war. It is in line with the law of the market to maintain the operation of the darts bureau with a small number of darts. Because of this, as soon as Liu Bei and Sun Quan started the war, the bodyguard bureaus and Qianzhuang in Yanzhou, Bingzhou and Yuzhou were closed, and the personnel also withdrew.
Thinking of these, Jian Yong reminded Liu Bei, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Sili Dart Bureau will not agree to transport grain and fodder to Bingzhou."
Liu Bei also knew the rules of the bodyguard bureau and said, "I can ask the bodyguard bureau to send the grain to the border between Sili and Bingzhou. Wouldn't it be better for me to get the grain when I arrive in Bingzhou?"
Jian Yong's eyes lit up when he heard the words, so that the grain and fodder were transported in the territory of Sili, which did not break the rules of the bodyguard bureau. So Jian Yong smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really a wonderful plan! There is no need for food and grass!"
After the two made a plan, they ordered the city sergeants to pack up their food and fodder. Because Liu Bei bought Yanzhou from Nanye before, Liu Bei has not saved much money and grain, and it only took a day to clean up. Then Jian Yong led the troops out, and Liu Bei planted a flag at the head of the city to lure Sun Quan to attack.
Sun Quan and Lu Su smiled when they saw Jian Yong leading the troops out of the city. They had long known that Zhou Yu's plan was to lure Sun Quan to take Yuzhou. Therefore, Sun Quan did not pursue Jian Yong, but began to attack the city when the army went far away.
When Liu Bei saw that Sun Quan was attacking the city, he knew that he could not defend it, but he just delayed for a period of time and abandoned the city. After entering the city, Sun Quan came out of the list of Anmin and divided his troops to take the rest of the counties in Yuzhou, and only sent a small number of soldiers and horses to chase Liu Bei and Jian Yong. These soldiers and horses are not to capture Liu Bei, but just to conform to common sense and not let Liu Bei see through Zhou Yu's strategy. At the same time, Sun Quan also informed Zhou Yu of Liu Bei's departure from the city.
After entrusting the grain and fodder to the Sili Dart Bureau, he merged with Liu Bei and went to Bingzhou. The two did not know that they had fallen into the calculation of Zhou Yu and Sima Yi when they left the city. When the man and horse were marching, suddenly a rear explored the horse and reported, "A thousand people from Eastern Wu came to chase our army."
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard the newspaper: "Why are there only more than a thousand people? Can you see who is the leader?"
Tan Ma replied, "There is only the Dongwu flag in the enemy, and there is no handsome flag. I don't know who is the general."
Jian Yong said, "Is it that I have been away from the city for a long time, and Sun Quan doesn't know the path to divide the army to chase?"
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Maybe that's it. More than a thousand people are not a problem. We will fight them back and move forward. After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to ambush.
The pursuers of Eastern Wu are just meaning. They are not the opponents of Liu Bei's army. What's more, they were ambushed by Liu Bei and retreated as soon as they fought. Liu Bei had no intention to chase and defeat the soldiers. Seeing that Dongwu's pursuers retreated, he continued to lead the troops, thinking about coming to Bingzhou quickly to meet the customs and Zhang.
