Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Killed the defenders and generals in the city, and then captured Donglai City with the cooperation of the navy. "

Liu Bei was deeply saddened when he heard this. Donglai City was a city that Liu Bei occupied at great cost, but now it was attacked by Cao Jun. This was something Liu Bei could not tolerate.

Huang Zhong said: "My lord, after Cao Ang captured Donglai, he should have rested in the city, so our army still has a chance."

Huang Zhong was very confident in Liu Bei's strength and believed that as long as Cao Ang could be held back and Liu Xie arrived with his army, everything could be saved.

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said: "There is news from Bo Kang that Cao Ang's strength is extremely strong. Even Zhao Yun was defeated on the battlefield. I am afraid our army cannot withstand it."

Huang Zhong's expression changed slightly. What Liu Bei said was true. He had personally experienced Zhao Yun's bravery. Even Zhao Yun was defeated. They really couldn't resist it.

Liu Bei continued: "If our army retreats, then Cao Ang will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue us. Then our army may be in danger."

"But what if we don't retreat?" Huang Zhong asked worriedly.

“If our army retreats, Yanzhou will be lost.

Yanzhou is an important town. If Yanzhou is lost, the north will be in chaos. Then Yuan Benchu ​​will have the opportunity to reap the benefits.

If our army retreats, Yanzhou will fall.

No matter which road we take, our army will not succeed. Liu Bei said firmly.

Huang Zhong was silent after listening. Liu Bei considered the matter more thoughtfully than him, and he could not find a more suitable solution.

"Report!" A scout rushed in from outside.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bei asked.

The scout knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Majesty, Cao Jun has sent an envoy to Yecheng."

Liu Bei's face was uncertain. He sent someone over so quickly. Cao Ang was clearly demonstrating.

"How do you think we should respond?" Liu Bei asked Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei were silent. They were caught off guard by Cao Ang's movement so quickly and had no idea of ​​Cao Ang's details.

"My lord, Cao Ang is well prepared this time. Our army may not be able to match him. If my lord is willing to abandon the city and leave, he can still escape Cao Ang's pursuit." Huang Zhong suggested after pondering for a while.

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "If I abandon the city and leave, what will the people in the world think of me, Liu Bei?

How can I command the heroes in the future? Besides, Yanzhou is the hometown of the Han Dynasty, how can I abandon it? "

Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei looked at each other. They also knew that Yanzhou was the hometown of the Han Dynasty and could not just give up, so they all persuaded Liu Beidao.

"My Lord, you are a member of the royal family. If you die, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will be furious, and Cao Ang will be severely punished."

Huang Zhong continued: "Moreover, Cao Ang has been coveting the north over the years and wants to replace him.

If he occupied Yanzhou, he would definitely clash with Yuan Benchu, and Yuan Benchu ​​would definitely take the opportunity to eradicate Cao Ang.

If the lord stays in Yanzhou, not only will he not be able to help Yuan Shao, but he will allow Cao Ang to become powerful. "

Liu Bei was silent. What Huang Zhong said was not unreasonable. Yanzhou was the hometown of the Han Dynasty and must not fall into Cao Ang's hands.

But Liu Bei couldn't bear to leave Yanzhou. After all, this was his hometown and the place where he once struggled.

"My lord, I will ask you to lead troops to the battlefield, recapture the front line, and buy more time for your lord." Huang Zhong suggested.

Liu Bei looked at Huang Zhong and he knew this was the best solution.

But Huang Zhong was his old subordinate, and Liu Bei couldn't bear Huang Zhong's risk, so he refused.

"The front line is very dangerous. If you go, it will be difficult to come back. If you really want to share my worries, then protect this place for me."

"My lord, the front line is the ancestral property of the Liu family, how could I just sit back and do nothing." Huang Zhongyi said angrily. "Then General Bogui will personally lead the army to the front line. If anything unexpected happens, ask Zilong for help." Liu Bei finally compromised.

"I will obey your orders." Huang Zhong saluted respectfully. Huang Zhong was very grateful for Liu Bei's trust in him.

"My lord, my subordinates are also willing to accompany General Huang." Zhang Fei also stepped forward to ask for a fight.

After Liu Bei thought for a while, he nodded and said, "Yide, I'll trouble you."

As a fierce general, with Zhang Fei around, Huang Zhong would have less trouble.

When others saw this, they all said: "My lord, I am willing to go to the front line with General Zhang."

Liu Bei looked at everyone and finally said: "Okay, then you will follow Yide to the front line."

Liu Bei secretly cursed Liu Biao for being a loser for actually slipping up at this time, otherwise they wouldn't have been passive.

"Yide, be careful." Liu Bei warned.

"My lord, you can rest here with peace of mind. When our army returns, we will be able to kill Cao Ang and avenge our lord." Huang Zhong promised.

Liu Bei nodded, then looked at Liu Chan, and then said: "My child, dad is leaving Xuchang."

"Father!" Liu Chan cried, he didn't want Liu Bei to leave.

Liu Bei touched Liu Chan's head and said, "You have to take care of yourself when my father is away."

Liu Chan nodded vigorously, knowing that he could not become a burden to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei turned to look at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and said: "You follow Yide to the front line. Once you encounter difficulties, you must obey Yide's command and don't show off."

"Here!" several people replied.

"Yide, I hope I won't regret it." Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei solemnly.

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do my best."

Liu Bei took a deep breath and finally said: "In that case, you can set off now.

Remember, never show off your strength. If you encounter an unbeatable enemy, retreat immediately. "

"Remember this, general!" Huang Zhong and others said with clasped fists.

Huang Zhong then led an elite group and left the city on horseback.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others followed closely behind. They were wearing armor and holding weapons, and they looked heroic.

Huang Zhong led a group of soldiers all the way south. They did not conceal their whereabouts because Huang Zhong believed that Cao Ang would definitely send someone to monitor him.

Sure enough, not long after Huang Zhong and others left, spies from the Yanzhou Governor's Office discovered Huang Zhong's whereabouts and quickly passed the news to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang laughed loudly after seeing the secret report and said: "Come here, send an order and let Cao Hong be prepared. As long as Huang Zhong dares to appear, he will be captured. Remember, capture Huang Zhong alive."

"No!" the herald took the order and left.

On the other side, Huang Zhong led 500 people all the way south, but when passing through Pingyuan County, he met Cao Ang's general Xia Houyuan.

Huang Zhong snorted coldly and led his soldiers to face him.

"Who is here? How dare you stop a certain military force." Xia Houyuan said coldly.

"This is Huang Zhong! I came here to take your dog's head on my lord's order!" Huang Zhong shouted. (End of chapter)
