Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 385: I admit defeat! (Thanks to brother Zhang Quance for his two monthly tickets~)
The sudden shock came quickly and went away quickly.

After Lu Bu felt dizzy for a few seconds, the surroundings had calmed down!

He immediately realized that the long-lost feeling he had just felt was an earthquake!
It is no different from the movement I felt in my previous life.

An earthquake of at least magnitude 3.5 can be felt clearly by people!

At this moment, Guo Jia hurried over to him, with a look of shock and admiration on his face:

"Just as my lord expected, an earthquake actually happened!"

Lu Bu looked at the dark sky where red and blue lights were flickering faintly.

Based on the information learned in the previous life, this is definitely a sign of a major earthquake!

The little tremor just now was just foreplay!
Lu Bu immediately said to Guo Jia:
"Order the soldiers of the three armies to withdraw from Chen County immediately and move quickly towards the border of Pei State in the east!
"Since Zhuge Liang ordered all the people and soldiers of Chen to retreat to Pei, it is highly likely that they will not be affected too much!"

Looking at Lu Bu's nervous expression, Guo Jia, who originally thought that the crisis had been resolved, immediately realized that the crisis had just begun!
He immediately conveyed Lu Bu's order to the soldiers of the three armies.

Ding Feng, who had just built two camps, was confused.

Why are they suddenly withdrawing their troops?!

However, he soon received the message that he should not worry about the camp and should evacuate immediately with food and supplies.

Ding Feng was confused.

Just a small shock like that just now scared the world's most powerful general like this?
But as a soldier, obeying orders is your duty, and this is an eternal concept.

Although most of the soldiers of the three armies were confused and dissatisfied, they still gave up Chencheng and quickly evacuated towards Pei State!

Along the way, Lu Bu and the 50,000 troops behind him repeatedly felt the earth shaking, and the frequency and intensity of the tremors were getting higher and higher!
At this moment, the 50,000 troops realized that their lord's decision was correct.

It turns out that Chencheng is not a place to stay for long!
Just as they were about to reach the border of Pei State, suddenly, the entire earth began to shake violently!
The duration and intensity of this time are hundreds of times stronger than any previous time!
All the soldiers instinctively squatted down and held their heads.

Even though there was nothing above my head, it felt like the sky was about to shatter and collapse!

At this moment, Lu Bu was still riding on Red Hare.

Red Hare is indeed the best horse in the world.

Compared to other ordinary war horses that were panting, neighing, and kicking constantly, there was not even a trace of fear in this one.

Relying on his height advantage, Lu Bu glanced into the distance, especially in the direction of Chencheng, where he could faintly hear the sound of buildings collapsing.

The intensity of this earthquake is probably over magnitude seven, enough to destroy most of the buildings of this period!

The seismic waves continue and show no signs of abating.

Even the Red Hare was finding it a little unsteady on its feet.

Lu Bu immediately jumped off his horse and squatted on the ground with his Red Hare.

The strong earthquake lasted for a full half hour before gradually subsiding.

Just when Lu Bu thought that the strongest shock was about to pass, suddenly, the whole earth shook violently!

The ground seemed to surge like waves!
Then Lu Bu saw the ground beneath his feet suddenly crack open into a crack as thick as his arm!

Lu Bu's face changed and he quickly shouted to the soldiers around him:

"Watch your step!"

Before he could finish his words, a soldier in the distance suddenly let out a shrill scream, and fell directly into a crack in the ground that was half a meter wide!

Those who were lucky enough were pulled up in time by their comrades around them.

For those who were unlucky, all that was left was the increasingly distant howling sound that gradually faded away...

Lu Bu knew that it was not a good idea to stay here for long, so he shouted to everyone:

"Don't panic! Maintain your camp and continue to crawl eastward!" As Lu Bu's order spread, the soldiers also hurriedly marched eastward, as far away from Chen County as possible.

Lu Bu was half-squatting, holding Red Hare in his left hand and supporting his body with his right hand.

He looked back in the direction of Chen County and felt a little scared.

As expected, Chen County was the epicenter of this earthquake.

Fortunately, he responded in advance, otherwise it would not just be the soldiers falling into the crack in the ground.

The collapse of the buildings in the city alone was enough to devastate most of the soldiers.

Moreover, this place is close to the border of Pei State, but there are still cracks that can trap people.

It is hard to imagine how terrifying the cracks in the ground will be as you get closer to Chen County.

Even the possibility of depression cannot be ruled out...

Logically speaking, there had never been such a horrible earthquake in the history of the Chen State.

Is it because he changed the course of history, thus causing a chain reaction?
Lu Bu didn't know the reason, but he thought it had something to do with him.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

He immediately led the army towards the border of Pei State, and finally entered the territory of Pei State after an hour.

And at this moment, the great earthquake finally showed signs of subsiding.

Although there are still aftershocks, they are not as destructive as before...

Lu Bu immediately ordered the army to stop and rest, and asked each unit to count the damage.

It was finally discovered that a total of more than 1,200 people were missing and 200 people were slightly injured.

The severe order in the village has also disappeared...

Such a result still shocked Lu Bu.

We had clearly reached an open and safe area, yet so much damage had occurred.

If they still stayed in Chencheng, the consequences would be unimaginable!

What shocked Lu Bu the most was that Zhuge Liang actually predicted that a major earthquake would occur in the State of Chen!
No wonder he ordered the military and civilians to evacuate in advance, leaving them with an empty city.

It turns out that they want to use natural disasters to weaken their military strength!
It was the familiar formula that suffocated him...

But in terms of results, the loss of more than a thousand people is already the best result.

Lu Bu and his army sat there for a long time before they gradually came to their senses.

At this time, Lu Bu saw Guo Jia dragging his weak body towards him, and a bitter smile appeared on his tired face:
"My lord, you are truly a god... If you hadn't made the right decision in time, I'm afraid that only one out of ten of our fifty thousand soldiers would have survived..."

Lu Bu twisted his sore joints, making a "crackling" sound, and replied with a sigh:

"I am not a god, Zhuge Liang is the real god..."

Guo Jia nodded with emotion:
"Yeah... Being able to accurately predict a major earthquake and lure our army to the center of the earthquake, this is too exaggerated..."

Lu Bu showed a tired expression, but said something that made Guo Jia's scalp tingle:

"Do you think it is possible that Zhuge Liang deliberately let Yan Liang and his men come here to ask for help from our army?"

Guo Jia's emotions suddenly collapsed:
"If that's the case, Feng Xiao can only bow down to him..."

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed and smiled:
"But even if he planned everything, I still managed to resolve this crisis.

"If Zhuge Liang knew about this, he would be shocked!"
