Liu Bei's current situation can be said to be extremely miserable. Currently, there are only five people left with him: Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Chen Gong.
Including Liu Bei himself, there were only six people in the group, and the rest didn't even have a single soldier.
When Wancheng was defeated, although Liu Bei was depressed for a while, he finally recovered. But now, he is really desperate.
Make a comeback? Do you still have a chance to make a comeback? Even if Zhuge Liang has the ability to reach heaven and earth, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a plan without rice.
How can we make a comeback without even a single soldier? How can we make a comeback?
There is no hope, no hope at all!
At this moment, Liu Bei even somewhat understood how Xiang Yu felt in his heart when he committed suicide in Wujiang.
Liu Bei began to blame himself. It was precisely because of his incompetence that Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and other old ministers who had been with him for more than ten years died one by one.
Everything must be blamed on my own arrogance. Although I clearly have no ability to compete for the world, I just go against the trend, which leads to such bad results!
"Military advisor, it's better to say goodbye here. You have talents that know the world, and if you find a master to assist you, you will definitely make great achievements." While everyone was riding horses, Liu Bei, who was in an extremely low mood, suddenly said, "Yuan Yuan."
Zhi, Gongtai, Shuzhi, your talents are rare in the world. If you find a master, you will be able to use them to your fullest. There is no need to follow me anymore, lest you miss your talents or even your own life."
When Liu Bei said these words, everyone was shocked.
"My lord, why did you say this!" Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Chen Gong, and Chen Dao all stood up and dismounted from their horses, leaning down to kowtow to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei may have been hypocritical at times, but at this moment, he really wanted Zhuge Liang and others to defect to his master. The successive setbacks and the deaths of his ministers had worn away the ambition of this former hero, and he had lost
Because of his ambition to conquer the world, his heart had completely cooled down. Even if Zhang Fei tried to provoke him by avenging Guan Yu, it would probably have no effect.
There is at least some friendship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and others. Although he is willing to fall, he cannot bear to let others fall with him, let alone what tragedies they will encounter in the future because of him. He can only make others
Switch to another master.
It's just that Liu Bei was able to be ruthless enough to expel Zhuge Liang and others, but only Zhang Fei, the sworn brother who had followed him to death since Taoyuan, Liu Bei couldn't ask him to leave.
Liu Bei wanted Zhuge Liang and others to defect to his master, but how could Zhuge Liang and others abandon Liu Bei and ignore him under such circumstances.
Whether it is Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Chen Gong, or Chen Dao, they are all loyal and righteous people, and it is impossible to abandon Liu Bei when he is in decline.
"Lord, actually we haven't reached the end of the road yet." Zhuge Liang added.
"I have lost everything, so there is no need for the military advisor to comfort me." Liu Bei smiled miserably and said, "Your family members are all in Xinye. Although Liu Biao hates me, it has nothing to do with you. After you leave me, go to Xinye."
Liu Biao's request for family members may be successful."
"Lord..." Listening to Liu Bei's words, everyone couldn't help but choke up.
"My lord, my lord, you can go to Jiangdong and ask Sun Jian for a place to live." Zhuge Liang's eyes were also red, but he would never give up on Liu Bei.
In the beginning, Zhuge Liang may have served Liu Bei because of his sect, but after getting along for a long time, he and Liu Bei also developed a friendship that went beyond being a principal.
Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei an idea, which was to defect to Jiangdong Sun Jian.
Although after defecting to Sun Jian, he still had to continue to live a life of dependence on others, but Liu Bei's days of dependence on others were still too few?
It's just that Sun Jian is different from Liu Biao. Liu Biao is getting old. The struggle for succession has made the seemingly stable Jingzhou have turbulent undercurrents. If Liu Bei stays in Xinye, he will eventually find an opportunity to control Jingzhou.
But Jiangdong is different. Although Sun Jian is nearly fifty years old, he is still full of charm and not old at all. His son Sun Ce is famous for his bravery and is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong. Even if Sun Jian dies immediately, the new master of Jiangdong will still be
He is a hero.
If Liu Bei defected to Sun Jian, he might never get ahead.
I think Chen Gong also advised Liu Bei not to rush to attack Wancheng, but to just wait for the opportunity in Xinye, but that suggestion was eventually rejected. Now that Zhuge Liang thinks about it, it was ultimately because of his own immaturity.
But what has happened cannot be reversed, and the fact that Liu Bei is now in dire straits cannot be changed.
Although the future of defecting to Sun Jian is difficult, what other choice does Liu Bei have? Liu Biao has completely formed a deadly feud with him. If he doesn't cross the river to defect to Sun Jian, how can he cross the mountains and ridges to defect to Liu Zhang in Xishu?
Although defecting to Liu Zhang is a better choice than defecting to Sun Jian, there are only six people in his party, and half of them are scribes. The terrain in the middle of Sichuan is extremely rugged, and one has to go through mountains and ridges all the way.
We are all exhausted.
Moreover, Liu Zhang was secretly weak, and the power in Yizhou was entirely in the hands of the gentry. Those guys definitely didn’t want to see Liu Bei infringe on their interests. If Liu Bei really went all the way to Chengdu, there might be someone among the famous gentry in Yizhou.
Jump out and become the second Cai Hao.
In Jiangdong, Sun Jian's attitude towards the nobles had always been very tough. Liu Bei defected to Sun Jian, and because of his reputation as an imperial uncle, he should at least be treated with superficial courtesy.
