Just after Liu Bei made his decision, a piece of news that shocked the people of Xinye came out. There was news that Cao Jun was preparing to attack in a large scale, and this time it was really fierce, because many people were rumoring that Cao Jun If we capture Xinye this time, we will order a massacre of the city.
When they first heard the news, the people of Xinye City were shocked. They obviously did not expect that Cao Jun would actually issue an order to massacre the city. Regarding the news, some people in Xinye City believed it, and some did not believe it. After all, although we are in troubled times now, , but there has almost never been a massacre of a city,
Of course, everything has two sides. Some people do not believe this, but some people believe it. After all, Cao Jun had the idea of massacre of the city. During the Battle of Xuzhou, although Cao Jun did not massacre the city, he also Killed many people in Xuzhou,
Furthermore, the rumors are very conclusive, saying that Cao Jun could not bear the shame of defeat in the last battle, so he ordered the massacre of the city to avenge the shame. Gradually, this news was believed by the people of Xinye City. After all, it seemed true. Yeah, I can't tolerate others not believing this,
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. Such rumors are getting more and more intense. In addition, Liu Beijun in Xinye City is already preparing to withdraw. This makes the people in Xinye City restless. Liu Beijun actually wants to escape without fighting. This makes the people in the city uneasy. It’s messed up and I don’t know how to change it, [
Through Liu Bei's army's actions, the people in the city knew that Cao's army was indeed preparing to attack, and Liu Bei obviously knew that his army was no match for him, so he planned to flee without a fight. The people in Xinye City were quite shocked, but they firmly believed that Cao Cao, who was famous for his kindness, Liu Bei and Uncle Liu will never leave the people of Xinye City alone.
Sure enough, just when the news of Cao Jun's massacre intensified, Liu Bei's soldiers finally came out to explain that Cao Jun was attacking in large numbers. Liu Bei's army knew that it would be difficult to resist Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops, so he planned to withdraw his troops towards Xiangyang. Considering the ferocity of Cao Jun's army, , so Liu Bei hopes that the people of Xinye City will withdraw together with Liu Bei's army,
When they first heard the news, the people of Xinye City were somewhat unimaginable. The withdrawal of Liu Bei's army was different from confirming the news that Cao's army was preparing to attack the city. As for the news that Cao's army was going to massacre the city, although Liu Bei's army did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that the people did. Do you know that this news is true?
If this is just a rumor, why does Liu Beijun hope that the people of Xinye City will evacuate to Xiangyang with Liu Bei? The people of Xinye City still trust the kind Liu Bei. After all, after Liu Bei came to Xinye City, he actually became the people of Xinye City. We have done a lot of good things, and the people are very grateful for them.
But then they evacuated Xinye City like this, which made the people of Xinye City somewhat intolerable. You must know that Xinye City has everything for them. For the people, they have no requirements at all. As long as there is a place to stay, as long as they have a place to stay. It is enough to have food for consumption.
Xiangyang is indeed a good place, and it is also the place that most people long for. Jingzhou is far away from wars, especially Xiangyang, which is the most important city in Jingxiang. If you really go there, you will definitely be safer. It's much better than a small city like Xinye.
But Xiangyang is indeed good, but it is not as good as my own home. After all, my home has a house that can protect me from wind and rain. Although it is simple but comfortable, if I go to Xiangyang, everything will have to start from scratch. This is terrible This is not something the people of Xinye City want to see.
But even though the people of Xinye City couldn't bear it, when they thought about the menacing Cao Jun, the people of Xinye City had to flee. After all, compared with houses and fields, life is the most precious thing, whether it is a house or a land, These are all earned through hard work, but if your life is lost, you can never get it back. Therefore, if the two are compared with each other, life is more important. Therefore, although the people of Xinye City cannot bear it, they still start get ready,
Hearing that the people were willing to leave with him, Liu Bei was obviously relieved. Soon, Liu Bei ordered the soldiers of Liu Bei's army in Xinye City to help the people of Xinye City pack their things and prepare to evacuate. At the same time, Liu Bei also personally reported to the people of Xinye City. The people promised that the army would buy time for the people to evacuate.
Although Xinye City is small, there are actually a lot of people in the city. Especially in the past few years under Liu Bei's rule, the number of people in Xinye City has increased a lot. So many people have to evacuate Xinye City, which is obviously not something that can be completed in a day and a half. However, Liu Bei had already prepared for this.
It has been some time before Cao Jun's attack. After all, Cao Jun mobilized tens of thousands of troops for this expedition. Although the troops were powerful, it also greatly restricted Cao Jun's actions. The mobilization of tens of thousands of troops, if not anything else, was about food and grass. The transfer cannot be completed in a short time.
However, Liu Bei obviously did not expect that Zhao Fei knew that the mobilization of tens of thousands of troops could not escape Liu Bei's scouts, so there was no sign of cover-up at all. The real trump card was the five thousand tigers that Zhao Fei sent to Cao Cao for help. Leopard Cavalry soldiers, with these five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers, Zhao Fei is not afraid of Liu Bei escaping.
Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops were just to cover up the five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers. Just when Xiahoudun Group's tens of thousands of troops began to mobilize, Cao Chun led the five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers who had already quietly left the army station and went straight to Leaving Xinye City, Zhao Fei's purpose is to use the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to entangle Liu Jun. Of course, if Liu Bei can be annihilated in one fell swoop, then Zhao Fei will naturally be even more anxious and happy.
But this is obviously impossible to happen. Zhao Fei has already learned from Xu Shu that Liu Bei has probably invited Zhuge Liang to come out. If this is true, let alone destroying the thousands of soldiers of Liu Bei's army, Cao Chun Thousands of tigers and leopards may be threatened by Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, before setting off for the expedition, Zhao Fei told Cao Chun to be careful and cautious. The purpose of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was to contain Liu Bei's army. In addition to containing Liu Bei's army, Zhao Fei asked Cao Chun to avoid confrontation with Liu Bei's army as much as possible. Liu Beijun's soldiers were consumed in the battle,
This combat plan gave Cao Chun a headache. He tried to avoid a head-on confrontation with Liu Bei's army, and also tried his best to consume Liu Bei's soldiers. Such a combat mission was not suitable for the tiger and leopard cavalry at all. If the white horse followed, he might be able to adapt, but the tiger The soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry are better at frontal breakthroughs and defeating the enemy in the front. Only in this way can the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry feel honored and are not allowed to fight head-on. This is obviously not in line with the fighting method of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
However, Zhao Fei gave the order. Even though Cao Chun was very helpless, he must obey Zhao Fei's orders and obey the orders and prohibitions. Moreover, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was trained by Zhao Fei himself. The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would naturally understand Zhao Fei's orders. Comply, and since Zhao Fei has handed over such a difficult task to the Hubao Cavalry, it proves that Zhao Fei has great trust in the Hubao Cavalry. Since the Taiwei Lord trusts the soldiers of the Hubao Cavalry so much, then naturally Cao Chun will not Let the Lord Taiwei down,
The migration of people in Xinye City is in full swing. The migration of tens of thousands of people involves too many things. For the people, it is difficult to choose anything. In their view, if anything is thrown away, it will create a mess. kind of loss,
However, the actions of the people gave Liu Bei a headache. If he continued at this rate, it would be difficult for all the people in Xinye City to leave Xinye City if Cao Jun's army came to the city. At this moment, Liu Bei seemed to have no idea what he should do. ,[
At this time, Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei a plan. The reason why the people acted like this was because they expected that they were still some distance away from Cao Jun's army, so they took their time. If the people knew that Cao Jun, who was demanding their lives, would soon attack Come on, I'm afraid no one will care about these things anymore.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's advice, Liu Bei immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to get ready for action. Then, a news quickly spread in Xinye City. Cao Jun's army was very close to Xinye. Now Uncle Liu's troops were ready to attack. ,
After hearing the news, the people of Xinye City who had been slow to swallow finally understood the preciousness of life. Under the threat of life, the people of Xinye City quickly prepared to evacuate the city and headed towards Xiangyang.
But everything has two sides. The speed of people packing their bags has indeed accelerated, but this has also brought unexpected chaos to the originally peaceful Xinye City. Hundreds of people want to leave the city as soon as possible, but Xinye City is a small city, and the city gate is only that big.
The people brought their families and all their daily necessities with them. Such a huge flow of people had already overwhelmed the small gate of Xinye City, so people wanted to squeeze out of the city, and a stampede was naturally inevitable. ,
Of course, it would be fine if there was only this trouble. The most hateful thing is that at this time when everyone is united, someone actually takes advantage of the situation and robs him. Liu Bei naturally cannot tolerate this. Normally, it would be fine. But in this situation, who knows? Those who cause trouble must be severely punished without mercy.
Under such strong military pressure from Liu Beijun, the security of Xinye City has obviously improved a lot. The people of Xinye City all applauded this. Uncle Liu has indeed forgotten the people, and the emperor is indeed kind and fraternal. Under such circumstances, Instead of running away on their own, the soldiers of Liu Bei's army had to stay and delay Cao's attack. The people of Xinye City felt very relieved about this. If Uncle Liu Huang could stop the enemy's pursuit, the people would naturally be able to reach Xiangyang safely.
After most of the people in Xinye City had evacuated, Zhuge Liang began to persuade Liu Bei, and then quickly led the army to evacuate, while he led a thousand soldiers to block the pursuit. This seemed to have been discussed in advance, so Liu Bei naturally had no objection.
