Chapter 42: Gongsun Zan Besieged

Chen Meng's worry made Liu Bei a little nervous.

If Gongsun Zan was surrounded by the Wuhuan people, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Fourth brother, what should we do now?"

Chen Meng looked at the hundreds of people standing behind Liu Bei who were exhausted after two battles, and then at the somewhat arrogant Gongsun Yue, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, with our current prestige, if we catch up with the Cavalry Commander, can we stop the Cavalry Commander from pursuing those rebels?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, then shook his head.

"I'm afraid not."

"Brother, with our current strength, we have just caught up with the Cavalry Commander. Can we provide a lot of help to the Cavalry Commander?"

Liu Bei looked at the soldiers behind him and shook his head again.

"I'm afraid not."

"Brother, if we inform Gongsun Yue about this now and then ask him to send troops to support us, do you think he will agree?"

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Yue next to him, and then shook his head.

"I'm afraid not."

After Chen Meng finished speaking, he stopped talking. Because Chen Meng believed that Liu Bei must know what to do now, otherwise he would not be the Emperor Zhaolie in later generations.

Seeing Gongsun Yue leading his troops to pull the captured grain and supplies into Wu Ending City one by one, Liu Bei slowly gave up the idea of ​​​​rescuing Gongsun Zan now.

Moreover, he had just won a great victory. If he told Gongsun Yue now that Gongsun Zan was about to be defeated, not only would Gongsun Yue not believe him, but he might also have other ideas.

After all, this is just their idea, without the slightest evidence.

What if Zhang Ju and others were overtaken by Gongsun Zan before they could escape to the territory of the Wuhuan people?

Even if Zhang Ju and others fled to the territory of the Wuhuan people, what if the Wuhuan people were afraid of Gongsun Zan's reputation and did not dare to take Zhang Ju and others in?

Even if the Wuhuan people took Zhang Ju in and raised troops to fight against Gongsun Zan, what if Gongsun Zan won?

There are too many uncertainties in front of us. It is unreasonable to express your own ideas at this time and ask others to follow your own ideas.

You can be unreasonable if you want, but you must have strong enough strength! Or high prestige! Or high reputation!

But Liu Bei just doesn't have the strength, the prestige is not enough, and the reputation is not obvious. What he says at this time will only be heard by the few hundred people under him. It is not unreasonable for people to speak lightly.

Liu Bei returned to Wu Ending City gloomily. The excitement brought about by the victory had completely dissipated.

Chen Meng didn't care. After all, Gongsun Zan in history did not die because of this incident. Since he couldn't die, it was no big deal.

Guan Yu should also have thought about the possible consequences of Gongsun Zan's pursuit, so the joy brought by the victory was not as great as that of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. With his second brother's fighting skills, Chen Meng was still very relieved. He had to be brave and courageous.

Courage requires planning and planning.

Taking Yan Liang's head out of thousands of troops, Cao Ren not daring to leave the city during the Battle of Xiangfan, flooding seven armies, and beheading Pang De in formation, all these were actually fought by Guan Yu.

The three of them, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yuntian, and Tian Yu, were quite normal at this time. They looked at the seized materials, told interesting stories about the battle, and laughed heartily from time to time among the three of them.

The days when there were no battles to fight were also interesting. Reading the letters every day, tasting the delicacies of this period, and basking in the sun when he was bored became Chen Meng's most important things.

Chen Meng lived a very comfortable life, but others did not live very well. Liu Bei often worried about Gongsun Zan, Zhang Fei often complained that he could not fight, and Guan Yu, Zhao Yuntian and Yu fought for their ability to train soldiers.

The addition of Tian Yu not only gave Liu Bei an additional general who was good at fighting. When Tian Yu returned to Wujing City from Yongqiu again, and when Liu Bei and others saw the two hundred warriors brought by Tian Yu, Liu Bei turned against Tian Yu.

Love it even more.

When Zhao Yuntian Yu and others saw Baima Yicong's performance in killing the enemy on the battlefield of Shimen Mountain, they all expressed envy for him. So during this period, these more than 600 soldiers became Zhao Yuntian

He is an important tester for the training and experimentation of the two men.

After Gongsun Yue put the captured materials into Wu Ending City, he led his troops to kill Fei Ru. When the news that Gongsun Yue had captured Fei Ru without any blood spread to Wu Ending City, Liu Bei became more and more worried.

Much more.

Gongsun Yue captured Feiru without any bloodshed, which showed that there were no rebels in Feiru City. Then Gongsun Zan must have gone deep into the enemy to pursue the rebels. The deeper he pursued, the greater the danger. There was nowhere to gain.

There are too many unfavorable factors in terms of food and grass, lack of backup support, unfamiliarity with the geographical environment.

A month later, Gongsun Yue, who was far away in Feiru, suddenly rushed to Wu Ending City.

"Liu Sima, Liu Sima."

Before Gongsun Yue entered Liu Bei's mansion, he started shouting.

After Liu Bei heard Gongsun Yue's cry, he hurriedly walked out of the house. Before Liu Bei could speak, Gongsun Yue hurriedly shouted:

"Liu Sima, please save my cousin!"

When Liu Bei heard this, his heart tightened. The thing he was most worried about happened.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly."

"My cousin led his troops to pursue the rebels and went deep into the enemy's hinterland. However, I didn't expect that the Wuhuan leader Qiu Liju actually gathered tens of thousands of Wuhuan soldiers and surrounded my cousin and others in Guanzi City. It has been more than a month now.

.”

Gongsun Yue almost burst into tears at the end.

"That being the case, we should quickly go rescue Brother Bogui." Liu Bei said eagerly.

"Yes, yes. We should be able to set off to rescue our cousin. However, my men are all infantry, not good at long-distance attacks, and they do not have an advantage against cavalry. Now Liu Sima has 600 elite cavalry, Yuyang County

, Zhuo County, and Guangyang County can also get a thousand fine cavalry for mobilization, so a total of 1,600 fine cavalry. If you dare, please ask Liu Sima to lead his army to Guanzicheng to save my cousin."

"Brother Bogui is in trouble, so be prepared to save him. I will order people to rush the troops and horses. We will set off immediately after a thousand fine horses from Yuyang County arrive."

"That's very good. Go to Yuyang County now and bring the thousand fine cavalry to Liu Sima."

After Gongsun Yue finished speaking, he immediately left here and went to Yuyang County.

After Gongsun Yue left, Liu Bei hurriedly summoned Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Meng and others.

After Liu Bei informed everyone about the news that Gongsun Zan was besieged by the Wuhuan people, Zhang Fei and others were all shocked. But when Zhang Fei and others saw Chen Meng's reaction, they were surprised again.

"Fourth brother, why don't I see you reacting when you hear this?" Zhang Fei asked.

"When my fourth brother learned that Captain Qi was chasing the rebels, he already guessed that this would be the result." Guan Yu said calmly.

"Second brother, you also know?"

"Yeah. I know, and so does eldest brother."

"Ah! All three of you know it, but I, Zhang Yide, don't know it. The third brother is very hurt and needs to drink more wine."

"Third brother, don't imitate me," Chen Meng said.
