"You mean...Liu Bei is going to break out of the encirclement?" In Lu Bu's commander's tent, looking at Chen Gong and Chu Nan who were leaving and returning, Lu Bu frowned.
"Xiao Pei is no longer able to defend. Liu Bei is the hero of the world. Since he cannot win, he will definitely not defend." Chen Gong nodded and said, Chu Nan's words reminded him.
"The meaning of Gongtai is..." Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong.
"If Liu Bei is not eliminated, he will be harmed in the long run." Chen Gong Surong said: "The matter has come to this, and Marquis Wen should put an end to it."
Lu Bu nodded and looked at Chu Nan: "What do Zi Yan think?"
"If you try your best to keep Liu Bei, how confident is Marquis Wen? Maybe he will be killed?" Chu Nan did not answer, but asked a question.
Lu Bu pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Generals Guan and Zhang are both top-notch in the world. If you really want to leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stay."
If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei join forces, Lu Bu may not be able to win. If Liu Bei is added, Lu Bu will have to retreat. Of course, there are Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, but to prevent Liu Bei from breaking through, they must be separated. Liu Bei is breaking through, not starting a war.
It is easy to defeat them, but it is difficult to completely keep them. Maybe one or two can be kept, but Lu Bu also has to be prepared to lose one of his generals or be injured himself. The price to pay is too high.
"Zi Yan said..." Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan and asked.
"Since we can't force him to stay, it's better to do it as a favor so that we can meet each other in the future." Chu Nan thought, it would be best not to let Liu Bei and Cao Cao merge into one, so that Lu Bu would still have some opportunities, or at least more time.
Since you can't beat him to death, don't offend him to death and leave some room for the future.
"Forget it, let's send an envoy to tell Liu Bei to get out of Xuzhou." Lu Bu thought about it and felt that what Chu Nan said was right. In his heart, he owed Liu Bei something and didn't want to think about it.
Things get done.
"If we follow Zi Yan's plan and turn this into a favor, ordinary messengers may not be able to do it." Chen Gong thought for a while and looked at Lu Bu and said, "We need someone to make a strong statement for Liu Bei, and ordinary messengers may not be able to do it."
It's not that ordinary envoys can't do it, but there aren't many people under Lu Bu who can do it. It's okay for these people under Lu Bu to send a message, but depending on the situation, it may not be possible to persuade Liu Bei to leave Xuzhou. Liu Bei is also asked to remember
I'm afraid it's not something ordinary messengers can do to do this favor.
Lu Bu nodded and couldn't help but look at Chu Nan. Since it was Chu Nan who proposed it, let Chu Nan take care of the matter. Besides, if he wants to be his son-in-law, he must have some merit and reputation.
Chen Gong also looked at Chu Nan.
Chu Nan: "..."
"Shall I go?" Chu Nan looked at the two of them with a bit of luck.
"I'm afraid only Zi Yan is capable of this matter." Chen Gong smiled and nodded.
Chu Nan suddenly wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Why did he pretend that he had nothing to do? He smiled dryly and said: "Now that Liu Bei's army has been defeated, if I go now, am I afraid that I won't be killed to vent my anger?"
Although the possibility is unlikely, what if it happens? Zhang Fei is a fool, and you don't need to guess to know that Liu Bei is in a bad mood now. If he kills himself and leaves, what can Lu Bu do?
"Zi Yan, don't worry. Although Liu Bei is hostile, he still has some magnanimity. If the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed." Chen Gong said with a smile.
"Go." Lu Bu didn't say much, but he settled the matter directly: "If he dares to mess around, I will definitely avenge you."
Everyone is dead, what's the use even if you kill them all? Chu Nan was a little helpless, but he could only nod and agree. If he had known it, he wouldn't have said so much nonsense, but Liu Bei shouldn't know how to kill people, right?
On the other side, Xiaopei.
As Lu Bu's army retreated, Liu Bei was speechless as he looked at the dilapidated city wall and the dejected soldiers.
Gao Shun's trapped camp has not yet taken action, nor have Lu Bu or Zhang Liao, but there are already signs that his side cannot hold on any longer, and there is no chance of victory if he continues to fight.
So what if we keep it for a day or two?
Liu Bei looked at the night sky blankly, with a faint sense of loss lingering in his heart. Where was he going?
"Brother." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Liu Bei. Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Zhang Fei felt inexplicably guilty. If he hadn't been greedy for drinking and causing trouble, how could he be in this situation today? Looking at Liu Bei's disappointed look, at this moment
Zhang Fei felt even more uncomfortable than Liu Bei. He bowed to Liu Bei and said, "I will go out of the city tomorrow to fight against Lu Bu. I will fight to the death to delay my brother for a few days."
Liu Bei turned back to look at his two brothers, shook his head and said, "Yide doesn't have to be like this."
Xiaopei wouldn't be able to hold it for a few more days, and they had no reinforcements.
"Brother, if there are no reinforcements, Xiaopei may not be able to defend it!" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and said helplessly.
"Let's go back first and invite everyone to discuss." Liu Bei sighed.
"Here!"
When the three of them returned to the government office, Sun Qian and Mi Zhu had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the three returning, they quickly stood up to greet them.
"Now Xiaopei's power can no longer be defended. Everyone..." At the end of the sentence, Liu Bei was speechless. His three brothers had started their business since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. After going through many years, they finally got together.
The place to stand is now about to be lost. The ambitious young man in the past is now nearly forty years old and has achieved nothing. Even with Liu Bei's temperament, it is a bit difficult to accept it at this moment.
"Lord." Mi Zhu thought for a while and said, "Since we can't defend it, it's better to make plans early."
"The world is so big, where can we go?" Liu Bei said in confusion.
Sun Qiandao: "The person Cao Cao hates is Lu Bu. In the past, Lu Bu forced Cao Cao to the point of despair. Why not abandon the city and go to Xudu, defect to Cao Cao and borrow an army to defeat Lu Bu?"
That’s all!
Liu Bei thought for a while and nodded silently. Although he was reluctant to give up, he was able to make a decision. He nodded immediately and was about to speak when he saw Xiahou Bo coming in. He saluted Liu Bei and said, "My lord, there is an envoy from Lu Bu outside the city asking for an audience."
"Lü Bu? Are you sending an envoy here just to humiliate us?" Zhang Fei felt a little jealous when he heard Lu Bu's name. He immediately stood up and said, "I'll kill the envoy."
"You can't act recklessly in Yide!" Liu Bei frowned and yelled: "The two armies are fighting and have not killed the envoys. Now that our army is weak, we will kill the envoys. Isn't this the way of benevolence and righteousness?"
"Why are you talking about benevolence and righteousness with Lu Bu!?" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.
"Go and invite the envoy." Liu Bei ignored him and asked Xiahou Bo to bring the envoy.
"Here!" Xiahou Bo agreed, turned around and left, and soon came in with a young man.
"Humph!" The other party had just entered the door and saw Zhang Fei grunting, but he secretly used his magical power.
A cold snort fell in Chu Nan's ears like thunder from the sky, like a heavy hammer. His face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't help but take a step back. His mind was in chaos. He only heard a scolding, but
I didn't hear clearly what was said, and it took me a long time to recover...
