Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 196 The end of the road

In the land of Jiangdong, under Lu Su's order, the remaining troops in Jiangdong have retreated hundreds of miles, giving up all the previous defense lines to Cao Cao.

In this case, they could no longer hold the line of defense, so they might as well give up and conserve their troops.

Moreover, Lu Su knew very well that the reason why Cao Cao had not marched straight in until now was because he wanted to steadily encroach on Jiangdong step by step.

In this case, they have a lot of time to prepare and maneuver.

But at this moment, Ma Chao's movements made Lu Su's heart skip a beat.

Everything that happened was also reported to Lu Su.

"What an insidious plan. He actually framed Ma Teng's death on our Jiangdong and Liu Bei. Ye Fan is such a good trick!"

Even though he was very angry, he had to admire Mark's clever methods.

First, they sent people to spread rumors that Jiangdong and Liu Bei coveted the land of Xiliang.

Then he sent people to spread the rumor that Zhuge Liang had been conspiring with Zhou Yu in Jiangdong and killed Ma Teng.

Everyone was talking, even if Ma Chao didn't believe it at first, he had to believe it when so many people were spreading the news.

And Ye Fan's last move was the one he admired the most.

That was to collect Ma Teng's body and return it to Ma Chao. This not only showed their attitude, but also made Ma Chao owe them a favor.

Now Ma Chao has gone to attack Liu Bei and has obviously surrendered to Cao Cao!

Such methods made Lu Su frightened.

But what he was more worried about at the moment was Ma Chao's hostility towards Jiang Dong.

If they and Cao Cao join forces to deal with Jiangdong, how long can Jiangdong last?

"Ugh."

Lu Su sighed helplessly, looked at the generals in the tent, and asked, "I wonder how the generals view this matter?"

At this time, almost all of Jiangdong's generals were injured. Although the Battle of Chibi had passed for a long time, the injuries were not so easy to recover because it was winter.

"Let them fight. Liu Bei is ambitious and Zhuge Liang is a monster. Keeping them here will be a disaster!"

Chen Wu said angrily. Like Zhou Yu, he had no good impressions of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

"That is, what does their life and death have to do with us?"

Gan Ning also rolled his eyes.

Lu Su was full of sorrow at this moment. At this time of life and death, these people did not even realize the seriousness of the matter.

Just like this, how can they fight against Cao Cao?

At this moment, a young general suddenly stood up.

In this life, he has beautiful features and elegant appearance, but he is wearing iron armor and has a sword on his waist, and has a heroic appearance.

He is a rising star in Jiangdong. His surname is Lu Mingxun and his given name is Boyan.

"My lord, I don't think you should leave someone alone."

"Now Ma Chao has misunderstood. We and Liu Bei teamed up to kill Ma Teng. If Liu Bei dies, then we in Jiangdong will never be able to explain this matter."

"And Liu Bei is talented. With a little help, he can grow up quickly and be able to contain Cao's army for us, so Liu Bei cannot die!"

Lu Su's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was very satisfied with Lu Xun's performance.

But some people don't think so.

"Bo Yan, you have never been on the battlefield, so it's better not to talk about some things."

Veteran Cheng Pu glanced at Lu Xun dissatisfied.

It is good for young people to want to get ahead, but he does not want young people to step on them to get ahead.

Lu Xun was not afraid at all and still stood there.

Lu Su was even more heartbroken when he saw this scene. Under such circumstances, there was still internal fighting. Jiangdong was really going to be doomed!

At this time, another person stood up, it was Sima Yi. Although he is a low-key person in Jiangdong, he can be regarded as a staff member, so he will be called here every time we discuss things.

"Lord Lu Su, I also believe that Liu Bei cannot die!"

Seeing what a group of veterans wanted to say, Lu Su immediately made his decision: "Bo Yan and Zhongda are right, even if it is for Jiangdong, Liu Bei cannot die!"

"Once Liu Bei dies, Cao Cao will have no hidden dangers and can deal with Jiangdong wholeheartedly. If Liu Bei doesn't die, Cao Cao's attention can be distracted and Jiangdong can buy more time."

He gave a brief explanation, and the veterans stopped refuting.

After all, Zhou Yu is still seriously ill and has not returned, and Lu Su is temporarily acting as the governor. For Lu Su, the veterans are still convinced.

Lu Su then said: "Lu Xun, I will give you 30,000 elite soldiers to go and rescue Liu Bei. You must not let Liu Bei die. Can you do it?"

Lu Xun immediately held up his hands and said, "I can definitely do it!"

"it is good!"

Lu Su was overjoyed. There were still many talented people in Jiangdong, so he immediately ordered Ling Tong, Lu Meng and others to assist Lu Xun.

……

Under Yiling City, the battle has begun.

Although the Xiliang cavalry is not good at attacking cities, fortunately, their personal combat effectiveness is very strong, so even if they are not good at it, their offensive is very fierce.

The long ladder was hung on the city wall, and the Xiliang army kept climbing up. Many people had already rushed to the city wall, and the river was in danger.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others were fighting fires everywhere at the moment. Wherever the defense line was breached, they would attack, and the battle became extremely fierce.

"Lord, we can't hold on for too long if this continues, so we'd better retreat!"

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei had retreated from the city wall and began to discuss the retreat route.

Now that Ma Chao was guarding the main entrance, trying to break through would be tantamount to death, so he could only escape through the side entrance.

Fortunately, most of Ma Chao's army was attacking the city, and no one was posted to guard the side gate.

"Okay, okay, then give the order quickly!"

Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others were very anxious at this moment.

They knew that the soldiers and horses in their hands could not stop Ma Chao for too long.

If you want to escape, you must do it as soon as possible.

But Zhuge Liang's face was full of sorrow at this moment, and he looked in the direction of the side door.

"If my guess is correct, Cao Cao will definitely send people to help Ma Chao and attack us together. After leaving the city, we will have no danger. If we are surrounded, everything will really be over!"

In this situation, whether to retreat or not has become a dilemma.

Whether you retreat or stay in the city, it is very dangerous.

Hearing that Cao Cao would also send troops, Jian Yong and others immediately fell silent.

"Why are we so unlucky? No matter where we go, Cao Cao refuses to let us go!"

Mi Zhu sighed, feeling helpless and furious, her heart filled with resentment.

Liu Bei also felt solemn at this moment. He knew that one mistake now could put them in ruins.

"It's better to retreat. Staying in the city will only seal off all escape routes. If we rush out of the city, there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Everyone, I can't help you. If I can survive this time, I, Liu Bei, will definitely repay you twice as much in the future!"

Zhang Fei immediately stepped forward and stood beside Liu Bei.

"Don't worry, brother, my second brother and I will definitely protect you to the death!"
