Liu Bei knew that Xun Yan's sudden request for a meeting must be a small matter.

Especially Xun Yan's expression was serious at this moment, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

This made Liu Bei feel a little more thoughtful.

"What's important about the sir?"

Xun Yan spoke to Liu Bei and told him that something was important.

This made Liu Bei even more interested and he hurriedly asked.

Xun Yan didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and spoke to Liu Bei about the matter he had discussed with Guo Jia and his group a few days ago.

"General, a few days ago, all the major families in Yingchuan received invitations from Guo Jia and asked us to meet in Yangdi County. However, Guo Jia was uneasy and wanted to lobby the major families in Yingchuan to join Liu Zheng."

"At that time, the people from other families had already agreed to Guo Jia, only our Xun family, delayed it and immediately returned to Xuchang to inform the general."

Xun Yan told Liu Bei in detail what happened to Guo Jia's mansion that day.

Liu Bei's face gradually dimmed when Xun Yan said that.

He could have heard the danger from the previous words Xun Yan said.

When Xun Yan finished speaking, Liu Bei was still a little unbelievable.

"Mr. Xun Yan, is this matter serious?"

"It's true!"

Xun Yan knew Liu Bei’s concerns, and when Liu Bei asked this, he quickly answered Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was stunned at this time.

Before, he was just worried that Yingchuan County Governor could not hold back. Now that he learned the news that Xun Yan brought back, Liu Bei was not worried, but afraid.

With the assistance of more than a dozen families of Yingchuan County, the entire twelve counties of Yingchuan would definitely have no flaws. Liu Zheng's army would soon fall. At that time, relying solely on these defenders under Liu Bei, it would be almost impossible to defend the huge Yingchuan.

"No, no, let's take people immediately and arrest all the people from the twelve families of Yingchuan County!"

Liu Bei is now thinking about making up for the loss and seeing if there is still a chance. Before Liu Zheng's army arrives, they will arrest all these people, so that they will not be able to cooperate with Liu Zheng's troops to raise the matter.

As long as you arrest these twelve families in advance, even if they will anger these people, you must protect Yingchuan.

When Xun Yan heard Liu Bei's words, he nodded and immediately expressed his opinion.

"General, our Xun family decided that the entire clan would support the general! Follow the general's arrangements in everything!"

After Xun Yan expressed his thoughts, Liu Bei finally squeezed a smile from his worried face.

Fortunately, the Xun family is the largest family in Yingchuan. With the support of the Xun family, at least Yingchuan County has not been completely lost. Liu Bei thought that as long as he could control all the heads of Yingchuan as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, he had just gotten up and planned to arrest those who were there, but he heard an urgent report from the soldiers outside.

"Report, general, urgent report on the front line!"

The messenger below rushed over and disturbed Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stopped and could only call these messengers first.

"What happened again?"

The soldiers did not dare to neglect and hurriedly answered at Liu Bei.

"Lord, Yangdi and Yingyang reported urgently that Liu Zheng's army had reached these two places. As soon as the army arrived, the aristocratic families in the city opened the city gate and welcomed Liu Zheng's troops into the city. There was no obstacle at all in the two cities."

"Our army stationed in Yingyang County was also forced to withdraw from Yingyang because the city gate was opened. The army that had not yet been pursued by Ganning on the way, and lost a lot of troops."

The news was sent back, which made Liu Bei, who was already ugly, even more ugly.

"This... Liu Zheng's army has already begun to attack?"

Liu Bei was stunned. He never expected that Liu Zheng's action was so fast, and it took only how long before the army had already started to attack.

However, what surprised Liu Bei even more was that the aristocratic families of those counties and counties actually cooperated with Liu Zheng's troops and directly surrendered to the city.

At this time, Liu Bei was already a little panicked. Now the people from various major families in Yingchuan County have cooperated with Liu Zheng's army to surrender.

Then if Liu Bei arrested those people again, the chance of success would be less high.

Jian Yong, who was standing beside him, immediately advised Liu Bei.

"Lord, the situation is not good, Yingchuan is in danger."

"what to do?"

Liu Bei had already looked solemn at this time and began to think about his next plan.

He stayed in Yingchuan, but his bigger idea was to support Guan Yu and wait for Guan Yu's men to come, but now Guan Yu's men have never returned to Yingchuan to support him.

But he couldn't defend Yingchuan anymore, and Liu Bei was extremely worried.

But no matter how worried he is, if he doesn't retreat, Liu Bei is likely to be trapped by the enemy and die in Yingchuan. At that time, he will be surrounded by the enemy, which will be a big problem.

"Lord, for the sake of our current plan, we can only withdraw from Hulao Pass and embrace the capital."

Jian Yong had no good idea at this moment. This was a good cook who could not cook without rice. Liu Bei had not had many soldiers in Yingchuan, and the noble families in Yingchuan had already defected to Liu Zheng.

This means that the right time, place and people are not occupied. Isn’t it like staying here and fighting Liu Zheng’s troops is equivalent to dying?

After all, Liu Bei is a general and his status is noble. As long as Liu Bei is still there, they still have room for room for them to wait for other battlefields to pass on the news and find another way.

Jian Yong's opinions made Liu Bei hesitate a little.

For a moment, I didn’t know whether to stay in Yingchuan or temporarily retreat to Huzhuo.

But time waits for no one. Now the Liu Zheng army attacked by Yingchuan is not too far from Xuchang.

If you are still hesitating here now, I am afraid that Liu Zheng's army will come in.

"General, let's withdraw. All counties and counties in Yingchuan have already defected to Liu Zheng and continue to garrison. I am afraid that there is only one Xuchang City left. Leave as soon as possible. Our Xun family is willing to cooperate with the general to retreat together."

After hearing the news, Xun Yan quickly made a decision. He knew how terrifying the aristocratic families gathered here in Guo Jia's mansion that day.

Once they are united, Yingchuan has no chance of winning at all.

Because of this, Xun Yan wanted to take Liu Bei and others to set out together and withdraw from Yingchuan.

"Mr. Xun Yan, also decided to retreat? It seems that Yingchuan really can't defend it."

"Retreat, let's retreat to Hulao Pass first!"

Liu Bei made this plan.

Start acting immediately.
