Chapter 278: Good luck, there are always noble people to help you!

"Brother!" Zhang Fei just woke up and saw this scene before he could complain a few words. He was very angry. But this was his elder brother. He immediately got up and rushed over regardless of dizziness. At the same time, he helped him to the place where he had just been lying down.

On the sleeping couch.

This dizziness and drowsiness are also interesting. They happen to come in turns, and one person comes to lie down one after another.

Liu Bei passed out and the civil and military personnel were busy inside and outside until late at night. The medical officer came to check his pulse and gave him some breathing, and he slowly regained consciousness.

"The emperor's uncle is so anxious that he can't be angry with him any more. It will take some time to recover."

"Okay, thank you sir."

Guan Yu clasped his fists and saluted, sent the medical officer out, dispersed the generals in the army and those who came to visit, and ordered the remaining generals to take care of the garrison and defense in various places, so that Cao Ren could not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

I just returned to the house. There were only a few people in the house now, and it was very quiet. Even Zhang Fei, who usually likes to be lively, didn't talk much.

With a confused look on his face, he knelt on the futon and sat in a daze. His face was still gray. After coming back from the fire, he didn't even have time to wash his face.

Sighing, Guan Yu walked to Liu Bei's bed, squatted and knelt on the bedside, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry."

"My lord, Sun, and Mi still have family property. If we use it all this time, we can provide some compensation, so there is no need to worry."

Of course, Yuan's brothers also think so.

"I wish I could chop off his head and stomp on him a few times!"

Cai Mao bowed quickly with a bitter look on his face, "My lord, please don't tell you this matter carelessly. The general originally planned to report it slowly after your health improves. Who knew that now... Liu Bei's defeat would be so quick!"

"That's not the case. The army was defeated, but our army's morale was not in chaos. It's all your fault. How can I stay stuck in this matter? It's just that I, Liu Xuande, am now poor and impoverished. How can these dead sergeants care for their families? When

I really feel sorry for them..."

Cai Mao's eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly took a few steps back, then knelt on the ground with his head bowed to the ground in fear. Liu Biao had been gentle and humble over the years, and it had been a long time since he had become so angry.

These words caused all the civil and military personnel in front of the bed to whisper, and even became quite flustered, almost in a state of confusion.

Liu Bei looked slightly pale, stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Guan Yu, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense."

At this moment, these words are reassuring.

"Liu Xuande is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He said personally that the emperor is just a prisoner in Xudu. Cao Cao is called the Han Prime Minister, but he is actually a traitor to the Han!"

"Don't limit your mind to this, or you will suffer disaster."

"How come we are in such a situation again today?! How famous is Liu Xuande in recent years? Don't you all have a good idea in your heart? He is indeed dedicated to serving the people!"

Guan Yu scolded him softly without saying much, waiting for Liu Bei to finish his words.

"That's right," Guan Yu snorted coldly, "Huh, this person is sentimental and has no faith, so he is not worthy of respect."

"When they joined the army, some of them were sent off by their parents. I promised them, but now they are in this situation."

"Brother, please don't get excited. Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. There is no need to worry too much. Although you are defeated today, you should think about victory in the future."

"No, it's not!"

At least tens of thousands more soldiers and horses can be obtained, and training day and night may not mean that they will not be able to become elites.

The chatter and countless comments made Liu Biao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly start coughing, and his originally pale face turned rosy, but this was not a red color caused by blood, it was because he was so angry with these civil and military officials.

"There won't be any chaos. I can't think of any way except Liu Biao to come to the rescue. Maybe we really need a military advisor, a wise man who is well versed in the art of war and knows how to organize troops. Then Feng Chu...if it's true

Enough."

"My lord, please don't be impatient. Don't be impatient and aggravate your condition!"

Liu Bei's cheeks puffed up and he gritted his teeth and said, if there might have been some memories before, they are gone now.

"No! You dare to say no, why don't you show me Liu Xuande's letters! Hand over all the letters now!"

Otherwise, he would have led his troops and started fighting backwards. Within a few days, he would be able to capture the city and seize the territory. He would have many cities in hand, and he would be able to collect the land and recruit troops.

"What about Crouching Dragon and Phoenix? Wasn't this all made up by Xu Zhen? That Sima Hui must be deceiving you too."

Later, each of them had their own masters and had their own plans. Now I just think about how to get rid of him.

However, his own death may be nothing and can be ignored, but what about these soldiers under his command? They also have relatives in Xinye City, do they want to take them to die with them?

Naturally, benevolence and righteousness should not be limited to Liu Jingsheng and the nobles, but also should truly take into account the common people.

"Liu Xuande, hasn't he come here to ask for help? Or maybe he can solve it on his own and resist the invasion of Cao Ren's troops without our help?!"

"That's not true. Liu Bei has already sent three letters. Last night, a fourth letter came, asking us to send troops to support him. Otherwise, Cao Ren will definitely attack Nanyang. In order to save his life, he has no choice but to take it upon himself. You wait.

Listen to this..."

With him here, morale will not be so low that it is impossible to gather troops at all. "Thanks to you, Yun Chang."

"My lord, Cao Ren burned half of Liu Bei's troops and horses with a fire, so that he could no longer fight. I think... Cao Ren was able to defeat Liu Bei's troops without losing much troops. Cao's reputation is well-deserved.

My lord, you must think twice."

"Sigh... I really didn't expect that it would turn out like this in the end. Who could have imagined such an ending."

"I also need to write a letter and inform Liu Jingsheng immediately..." Liu Bei sighed, "The words can be sharper. If we don't agree to our protection sooner or later, naturally we will not die in vain in Xinye. We must explain this first, otherwise, within the territory

The people will also say that I, Liu Bei, don't care about kindness, but I don't know that there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 200,000 people are about to suffer the disaster of Chiyu."

"Instead of letting Cao's army come and take over the territory, why don't we do it ourselves? Why leave it to others!?"

Moreover, while inquiring, I also got a sarcastic comment, saying that it would be good if I didn't ask Xinye for food and grass, but I also asked for food every month, so I didn't dare to beg so confidently.

It is not easy to express any opinions. For him, it is the greatest respect for him not to attack the cities after Nanyang County at this time.

"Gongyou..." Liu Bei glanced at Sun Qian from a distance, his expression was quite touched.

Perhaps others would say that Jingzhou civil and military officials treated foreign guests this way, and that Uncle Liu was famous for his benevolence and righteousness.

…

After saying that, he stood up, shook his head, stood with his hands behind his back, and turned his back, not wanting Liu Bei to see his expression.

"If we send troops to support Liu Bei at this moment, it may make Cao Ren retreat, but if this happens, we will definitely offend Cao Cao."

"My lord, please think twice. There should be no reply to the letter sent by Liu Bei, and the neighboring prefects should be on guard to prevent him from taking advantage of it. This person is definitely not a kind person, and he must have some agenda in coming to Jingzhou!"

Liu Biao knew that public anger is hard to offend, and the civil and military forces were elected by each family. These people occupied the key roads of various counties and counties in Jingzhou.

"In addition, you can ask Liu Biao for help. If Cao Ren comes to attack, he will definitely help."

"Cao's appeal should be responded to by paying tribute to the emperor to calm his mind. Returning to the Han court in this way is the way for Jingzhou to survive and save the people from the suffering of war!"

"Xinye was defeated..."

Liu Bei's eyes were red, his mouth was trembling, he was speechless, and his emotions seemed to be getting excited again.

Zhang Fei's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he stared at Liu Bei with a helpless and slightly complaining face, "Brother, are you really out of your mind and crazy? Don't you understand how badly that Xu Shu hurt you? He is clearly Xu Shu.

Zhen's inside spy."

"He is really extremely incompetent. If we send more soldiers and horses to support him, we will lose more troops in the future!"

Liu Bei sighed in despair, and then said bitterly: "Otherwise, we can only hope that there will be chaos in the north of Cao Cao, but Xu Bowen's army guards the north with great power. Wuhuan and Liaodong have been pacified and surrendered."

"Yes, that's right. Now we are not worried about the shortage of food, grass, soldiers and horses, but supporting Liu Bei is tantamount to being an enemy of Cao Cao."

"Although Cao Cao expressed his views on Jingzhou, he never mentioned that he would send troops."

"Although we were defeated before and the plan was discovered, from now on, we will just defend the city and fight fiercely. There will be no more plans."

"Brother, only in this way can we calm people's hearts and allow the people, soldiers and civilians to follow us with peace of mind."

Zhang Fei's face was full of tangles, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't persuade his elder brother. He did recruit Xu Zhen at the beginning, and he also expressed goodwill, but there was no friendship.

"We can't get involved in such hatred, so why bother letting us suffer from war for a mere Liu Bei?"

A military general immediately said bitterly that the matter had been reported to Cai Mao, but it seemed that he had not informed Liu Biao yet.

"If I also surrender to him, how can I go to see my ancestors? How can you say such things when you are all living in Han Dynasty? I, Liu Jingsheng, although I want to put Liu Bei in Xinye, I will keep Jingzhou away from the north.

Enemy, you all agreed at the beginning!"

"The battle at Bowangpo resulted in over 10,000 casualties, and I was heartbroken..."

Guan Yu showed respect for Liu Bei for the first time in a long time and bowed to Liu Bei. Although he was still worried, with this sentence, he understood that Liu Bei should have regained his composure and was no longer as groggy as before.

"A fire in Bowang allowed Cao Ren's army to occupy all the important roads. How easy is it to repel him? We can only hope that he will run out of food and grass. But now that the autumn harvest has just happened, his army must be extremely well equipped with money and food. What can we do?

Can you wait?"

"That's right! That's exactly what it should be!"

Therefore, after saying this, he was glared hard by Cai Mao. Of course, the general couldn't stand it anymore and deliberately said it at this moment, so that Liu Biao could order justice.

"Second brother, third brother, after the defeat, the morale of the army is unstable. The people and nobles in Jingzhou will soon hear the battle report and military situation. Naturally, there will be turmoil. It is useless for us to threaten Liu Jingsheng at this time. We can only ask for help.

Only then can I appeal to his heart and help me, even if it means sending food, grass, military pay, and sending troops to garrison to threaten the stability, that would be great."

"Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, Cao Ren will besiege Xinye at any time. If he is defeated and dies, I will bear the infamy of disregarding my fellow sects! Which of you can afford it?"

Moreover, of course, his remaining power is still there. If he wants to kill Cai Hao, the guards will immediately take action in this hall, and Cai Hao will not be able to resist at all.
