"What? Xia Pi has been lost? How is this possible?"

After a night of escape, he finally escaped from the heavens and arrived near Xia Pi. Only a few personal guards were left by Liu Bei. The battle was defeated terrible.

Guan Yu, who led the remaining troops to cut off the rear, disappeared. They were facing Wang Yu's main force, but they were afraid that there would be little danger. The rear was very dangerous, and they were not much stronger after Liu Bei. He Yi was beheaded by Wei Yan and He Man was captured alive by Zhao Yun...

Cao Bao on the other side saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away without even saying hello. Judging from his appearance, he might not even want to go to Xiangcheng, and his old friend Jian Yong disappeared.

Liu Bei was still thinking about reorganizing his team after returning to Xia Pi, and he fought to the death, but who would have thought that the spy who had explored the way first brought back the worst news with a pale face - the flag of the General of the Cavalry was already flying at the top of Xia Pi!

The news of the five thunders thunders was like that. Liu Bei, who had not recovered from the blow of the crushing defeat, was blown to his eyes and his mind buzzed. The cruelty of reality was beyond his imagination. Xia Pi, which had the main force, was lost? Is there anyone in this world who is more miserable than himself?

He was stunned, but the guards did not dare to stare blankly. The pursuers in Qingzhou pursued them relentlessly, and clearly wanted to kill them all. Since Xia Pi City was lost, the danger here would increase exponentially. When the Qingzhou army settled down in the city, they would inevitably clean up the fourth field, and they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

Several people surrounded Liu Bei and fled westward in panic. Pengcheng still had soldiers! Zhang Feitong led 5,000 elite troops to guard Pengcheng. Of course, it was impossible to regain Xia Pi, but it was still possible to ensure safety. Pengcheng's strategic importance is no worse than Xia Pi. With Zhang Fei in charge, it is still very stable.

Halfway through the way, Liu Bei gradually woke up and asked the scout who was exploring the way: "There was a letter from Xia Pi yesterday, why did it happen overnight..." If he couldn't figure out the answer to this question, he would never close his eyes even if he died.

"Report to the lord, actually..." The scout was also a meticulous person. He just looked around from a distance and asked the villagers for a few questions, then touched the whole process.

"Sure enough..." Liu Bei murmured: "I should have thought of it long ago..."

The signal of Wang Yu's request for help last night once made Liu Bei's confidence high. Later, the surprise troops of the Hidden Fog Army emerged and the situation reversed. He only wanted to escape and had no time to think about it. Now, after being reminded by the scout, he finally realized that the signal last night was not asking for help at all, but the horn of the general attack.

It’s too late to think about it now, it’s just a little regretful, regretting one’s own cleverness, and hating Wang Yu’s cunning and deceitfulness.

God seemed not to intend to calm Liu Bei, who was at the end of the road, calmed down. Just as he was regretting, a guard suddenly screamed. Liu Bei looked up in shock and could not blame him. The sight of him was shocked, and his mind was completely occupied by new doubts.

The city of Xia Pi has changed hands and has not even experienced too many battles, wolf smoke has risen!

Liu Bei and others were shocked and came out of the invisible woods. They climbed a small hill and looked into the direction of Xia Pi.

I saw a large crowd of people rushing out of the city gate, passing the suspension bridge on the Yishui River, rolling westward. It looked like there was a turmoil in the city, and troops loyal to Liu Bei and unwilling to surrender were fleeing.

But after Liu Bei suffered so much, he was no longer as naive as before. He didn't believe that a name like Zhang He would not be able to control the city defense when most of the city surrendered, making it so embarrassing.

Even if you don’t consider Wang Yu’s existence, the defeat he suffered in the plains still remembers it vividly.

Therefore, he not only ignored the excited reminders of his personal guards, but also suppressed the restlessness of several people, indicating that everyone should not be impatient and not be impulsive.

His caution made sense. Just after crossing the river, a team of cavalry came out of the city gate. According to the cleaning, they should be pursuers, but seeing that they were not too slow and were leisurely, they could not get along with the pursuers at all.

At the same time as the cavalry, the warships on the Yishui River were launched. The draughts of these ships were relatively deep, but there were no figures on the ships shaking, and it was obvious that the baggage inside was loaded.

Behind the cavalry were the infantrymen, with neat lineups, but their weapons were a little messy. At the front was a young general, carrying a huge caltrop bone on his shoulder, and dozens of strong men in the same outfit followed him, with murderous aura and extremely fierce, and it was obvious that it was not a good way.

Of course it is not a good way. Just when several personal guards began to thank the lord for his foresight, he did not act recklessly, and hit the enemy's ambush, Liu Bei took the lead again and realized what Zhang He was thinking.

A series of plans!

This is a chain of plans!

While completely annihilated his main elite, he ordered Zhang He's main force to move south quickly, relying on prisoners and strategies to deceive the city gate of Xia Pi, and easily took Xia Pi. Finally, relying on Xia Pi's surrendered troops and beacons, he designed Zhang Fei again...

Complete three strategic goals in one day and night, and pacify most of Xuzhou! This is Wang Yu’s plan! It is fake to join forces with Yuan Shu, Que Xuan, and any alliance proposal. From the beginning, his goal was himself, Xuzhou!

While suddenly realizing, Liu Bei had the heart to die after diving.

OK, come and grab Xuzhou! If you don’t come, will Yuan Shu reconcile with Qingzhou? When the two sides fight and come to help the battle, the situation will be too beneficial and too much...

It's okay if he comes, but he is fascinated by the vision that Xu You made. He actually wants to fight with Wang Yu in Xia Pi, and also think about what kind of surprise weapon to launch.

Now, I finally realized what a surprise soldier is. Liu Bei smiled and cried with tears. He fought three times a day to conquer Xuzhou. He was a foil that was not ordinary competent.

"Lord, my subordinates are willing to risk their lives to report to the third general so that he will not be trapped by the enemy." The very clever scout clasped his fists and asked for his orders.

"It's too late..." Liu Bei shook his head dejectedly.

Pengcheng is more than 100 miles away from Xia Pi, not too close. If you march step by step, it will take at least two days. However, the Qingzhou army is sure to win now, so you don’t have to think about the way out of the way, just advance with all your strength. In addition, they have a fleet to transport baggage, so they can advance lightly. A hundred miles away can be completed in less than the evening.

Liu Bei suspected that the other party's plan to take Pengcheng was probably different from that of taking Xia Pi. Although there were many defenders in Xia Pi, they were mainly recruited by the Yellow Turbans. Pengcheng was his own stronghold as the backbone. There were not many defenders, but the components were relatively simple. He was Zhou Ang's subordinates and the most complete and combat-capable force among Yuan Shao's old subordinates.

Such an army, led by a powerful general like Zhang Fei, even if the Qingzhou army can trick the city gate, it will have to go through hard battles and pay a heavy price to seize Pengcheng.

Thinking of Wang Yu's habit of leaving the most difficult tasks to himself, Liu Bei was very suspicious. Whether Zhang Fei could get the opportunity to show his courage.

As for the news, the chance of the messenger reaching Pengcheng in front of Zhang He was very low. Zhang Hejun's marching speed was not slow, and the arrangement was very well-organized. The cordons and scouts were spread very well. From Liu Bei's position, there were only two ways to reach Pengcheng, either forcing one's force or making a big circle.

As time went by, the southern city gate of Xia Pi was opened, and hundreds of soldiers formed a team and came out in a row. They ran in different directions, like a large net, sprinkled on the southern bank of Sishui.

"Let's go!" Liu Bei didn't know that this was a hunting net against him. At that moment, he didn't hesitate and rushed down the hillside first. He rushed towards the continuous mountains in the southwest direction.

"Lord, those three generals..."

"It's too late, I just hope that Yide is the guitar of the human beings and heavenly beings, and escape this disaster." Liu Bei smiled and shook his head. The second brother might have been dead, but Wang Yu should not kill the third brother. After all, the war had not yet been settled at that time, and there was still a possibility of repeated recurrence. If the third brother fell into a trap, there would be basically no suspense in the war.

With the friendship between Wang Yu and his third brother, he probably won’t die. The third brother is loyal and should not betray him. As long as he is alive, he will have a chance to meet again in the future!

...

While Liu Bei comforted himself and fled, Zhang Fei was looking at the beacon fire in the distance in amazement.

According to the prior agreement, the three cities of Pengcheng, Xiapi and Xiaxiang will form a horn together. One city will ignite the beacon, which means that the city is attacked, and the other two parties should rescue them as appropriate.

Now Xia Pi has been attacked, and the war is endless and it is endless. It is obviously in a very critical situation. It is reasonable and I should try to rescue me.

But Zhang Fei had seen the city defense in Xia Pi and Chen Dao's defense, and felt that no matter how strong the Qingzhou army was, he should not fall into danger so quickly.

On one hand, there was brotherhood and on the other hand, there was the overall situation. Zhang Fei was extremely confused. He did not rush to send troops, but sent a large number of scouts to spy on the east. He waited anxiously for more than two hours, and around noon, someone finally came to repay him.

"Three...Three Generals, big things are not good! Xia Pi City has been captured, Gong Du rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. The two generals Liu and Huang died when the city was broken. General He Man gathered more than a thousand remaining troops and was escaping towards Pengcheng!"

"What?" Zhang Fei's scalp exploded, his beard stood up like an angry hedgehog. He picked up the scout who reported the news and roared loudly: "Brother, where are the second brother and the others? Where are they now? He Man can escape. With the courage of his second brother, there is no reason not to be able to kill him?"

The scout couldn't breathe smoothly and replied with difficulty: "Envoy Liu and General Guan went to ambush Wang Pengju, but the result..."

"What......" Zhang Fei let go of his hand blankly, almost unable to believe his ears. After a long time, he suddenly woke up, stood up with a sensation and shouted: "Come on! Take my ward and send troops immediately. I want to save the two brothers!"

"The Third General, Liu Envoy and others don't know where to go. Where are you going to save people?"

"It can always be found. Even if it can't be found, Pengju can't pursue it unscrupulously!" Zhang Fei obviously had no feasible plan, just to send troops to send troops.

"Then... Pengcheng."

"I'll take He Man first and let him defend the city!" As he spoke, the personal guard had already offered a snake spear and led the black horse. Zhang Fei did not hesitate, picked up the spear and put the horse on the horse, and pointed the troops out of the city. He faced the Qingzhou army storming towards Pengcheng like a moth that was blowing fire.

Two hours later, He Man brought the remaining soldiers into the city. After a moment, the big flag with the word "Liu" at the top of the city was overturned, and the four big characters "General Cavalry" were written on it. The general flag with fire rose slowly.
