The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 864
The soldiers helped Li Cunmao and his party to the mansion, let them sit down and rest, and hurriedly invited Liu Bei to come over.

"General Li, aren't you guarding the front line? Why are you back?" Liu Bei strode to the hall.

Suddenly Liu Bei saw the appearance of Li Cunmao and his party, and his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Cunmao and asked anxiously, "But something happened in Liaodong? How is my second brother?"

Li Cunmao fell to his knees: "I'm sorry, my lord, Changli has fallen!"

"What?" Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the words, staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a chair behind him, Liu Bei sat down slowly while supporting the chair, and muttered: "Changli has fallen? Has it fallen?"

Immediately Liu Bei stood up abruptly, grabbed Li Cunmao and asked again: "What about Liaodong? How is my second brother?"

"There is no news about Liaodong yet. It was the Jurchen who launched a surprise attack on Changli with 20 cavalry. Liaodong has a vast territory, so it must not have fallen. Otherwise, there will always be news that if Liaodong is lost, Jurchen will not make a surprise attack." Li Cunmao replied.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and sat down again. Seeing Li Cunmao and the others looked exhausted and pale, he asked them to sit down, and ordered the servants to bring them food before asking, "What's the matter, there are guards in Changli?" At 20, even if Jurchen led [-] soldiers to attack, they could hold out for a while, and at least they could notify me to send troops to support them, so how could they suddenly fall?"

Li Cunmao's face was full of shame: "It's not good for the last general. Due to the cold weather during this period, the scouts were not sent out. As a result, the Jurchen cavalry arrived in Changli, and our army learned that the Jurchen came to make a surprise attack."

Speaking of this, Li Cunmao gritted his teeth and said: "It's Shi Jingtang, that bastard. Originally, our army had 2000 soldiers, which was more than enough to garrison Changli. But he insisted on going his own way, and wanted to lead his troops to ambush the Jurchens, but he forgot that the weather was cold and cold. He miscalculated the time needed to set up an ambush, and before the ambush was completed, he was chased and killed by the Jurchens. Of the [-] soldiers and horses he took with him, only [-] escaped back.

In this way, my garrison only has more than 5 people, and the layout of the defense is stretched. The Jurchen 20 cavalry attacked Changli day and night.However, in just four days, our army suffered more than 2 casualties, and Shi Jingtang, as the chief general, fled the battle knowing he had made a mistake, regardless of the defense of the city.

I've been fighting for four days in a row, I'm exhausted, Shi Jingtang just came out, but who knows that this bastard...he actually..."

"What happened to Shi Jingtang?" Liu Bei asked sharply.

Li Cunmao gritted his teeth and said, "This dog thief surrendered to the enemy that night! If he hadn't surrendered to the enemy, how could Changli be defeated so easily?"

"This dog thief..." Liu Bei was also furious when he heard the words, he slapped the table case, and knocked the cup cover on the table case to the ground.

"So what's the situation in Changli now?"

"I escaped back here and reported to the lord that when I left, Changli was already under the control of the Jurchen soldiers. The defenses in Liaoxi County were empty, and the Jurchen might take advantage of the victory and pursue them to the west of Liaoxi." Li Cunmao worried.

Liu Bei got up and said to several people: "You have worked hard all the way back, go down and rest first."

Liu Bei turned and left, and told his servants, "Go and invite the military advisor, General Li is here to discuss matters."

Liu Bei returned to the study and waited. Although he was sitting quietly in a high position, his hands were clenched tightly, obviously his heart was not peaceful.

But after a while, Wei Zheng, Tian Yu, and Li Keyong came together. The faces of the three of them were not good, and they obviously knew about the fall of Changli.

"I've seen the lord!" The three of them clasped their hands together.

Liu Bei looked neither sad nor happy, he waved his hands and said, "Sit down!"

The three sat down, and Li Keyong took the lead to say: "My lord, I have sent a large number of Qingqi to inquire about Jurchen's news, maybe the situation is not so bad."

"After the Jurchens succeed in raiding Changli, they will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it. The defense of the west of Liaoning is empty. I'm afraid that the troops will come to the hinterland of the west of Liaoning now?" Liu Bei murmured.

The three were silent, and after a while, Liu Bei looked up at the sky, beat his chest and said, "Is it possible that the sky will kill me?"

Wei Zheng stood up, cupped his hands and advised, "My lord, don't underestimate yourself, this defeat is not a natural disaster, not a disadvantage in war, but a traitor in our army, this is a man-made disaster.

Today, General Guan still has 15 fighting men, and 20 soldiers on the endless front.Liaodong has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people.The lord only needs to go to Liaodong to join the two generals, and there are more than [-] soldiers and horses, so the subordinates ask the lord to retreat to Liaodong in order to make a comeback! "

A glimmer of hope flashed in Liu Bei's eyes: "Is it possible to make a comeback?"

"Why not? Liaodong has Liaoshan as a barrier to the east, Liaohe River to the west, and Lelang County in the rear. Sanhan has not yet been occupied by Jurchen. The vastness of these places is comparable to the land of two states. My lord retreated to Liaodong and sent water The army is stationed in Liaohe, and the troops stationed in the north are high-profile, guarding the dangerous points in Liaoshan. In this way, we can be as stable as Mount Tai, and conquer Sanhan in the east, and use this as a foundation to expand our strength. Wouldn't it be easy to make a comeback?"

"Although people are harmonious and the location is favorable, but when there is no time, how can we make a comeback?" Liu Bei was a little moved.

"The time of day is just around the corner. My lord can give up Youbeiping and retreat to Liaodong. In this way, the Jurchens will definitely attack Youbeiping. And Liu Bian is bound to attack, so let Liu Bian and Jurchens fight. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one will be injured. My lord can Watch from the sidelines and wait for the right time!" Wei Zheng said with a smile.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words: "The military division's words made Bei Maosai suddenly realize that You Beiping can't stay any longer. If Liu Bian knows that Changli has made a mistake, he will come to attack. Then the frontline army will not be able to get away, and the Jurchen cavalry will be gone soon. We will arrive, we must retreat as soon as possible."

Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said: "Our army has built a large number of warships in the coastal area. My lord can take the officials to the coastal area first, leaving only the warships that can accommodate [-] troops. The rest of the warships can be taken with you. Common people, go to Liaodong, and your subordinates are responsible for notifying General Zhang and arranging his retreat."

Liu Bei did not refuse, and said: "Then I will take people to the coastal area first, and the military adviser must be careful."

"My lord, don't worry!" Wei Zheng nodded and said.

After the three left, Liu Bei immediately summoned the officials in You Beiping, and Li Keyong led an army of [-] to mobilize the peasants to transport the grain, money, and luggage hoarded by You Beiping to the water lanes along the coast.

Liu Bei led the civil and military officials one step ahead and called on the people along the coast to go to Liaodong together.

Although Liu Bei was diligent in government and loved the people, there were people in Xinye who followed him to the death in history.But that's because Cao Cao's cruelty was spread, and the people didn't want to live under Cao Cao's rule.But now the people in Younan live better than the people under Liu Bei's rule. Moreover, in the eyes of the people, Liaodong is in danger. Liu Bian spread rumors these days, and the people have lost confidence in Liu Bei.

Moreover, the sea is an unknown fear for the people of this era. Some people even want to go to Liaodong with Liu Bei.But when they learned that they were going to cross the sea by boat, most of them gave up the idea of ​​following Liu Bei.

After a few days, Liu Bei only summoned more than ten thousand people, which made Liu Bei very discouraged.

Wei Zheng was still in Xuwu, and on the one hand, he sent people to inquire about Jurchen's whereabouts, and on the other hand, he notified Zhang Fei to retreat to the coast to join Liu Bei.

The Jurchen soldiers and horses continued to march westward after Lin Yu rested for a day. However, in the southwestern part of Liaoning Province, there were many cities, rivers, and mountains emerging one after another. Therefore, the marching speed was greatly reduced, and it took four or five days to reach Lingzhi County in the western part of Liaoning Province.

Lingzhi County is located on the border of western Liaoning, bordering Youbeiping County, and the former Gongsun Zan was from Lingzhi.

Knowing that the Jurchen soldiers and horses had arrived in Lingzhi, Wei Zheng didn't dare to wait any longer in the clan, so he ordered Zhang Fei to retreat as soon as possible and come to join Liu Bei.

As for the retreat, there is no need to use any tactics. Wei Zheng knew that Liu Bian always put the overall situation first. If he knew that Jurchen had arrived in Lingzhi, he would soon enter Youbeiping.They should immediately march into Youbeiping to defend against Jurchen, instead of chasing Zhang Fei's troops.

Wu Mo, Zhang Fei's camp, Zhang Fei was furious when he learned that Shi Jingtang had defected to the enemy and Changli had fallen. He wanted to go back and fight Jurchen to the death, but Liu Bei had already retreated early.He could only follow Liu Bei's order and lead the army to retreat to join Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei's retreat route was to go directly south to the coastal area, and there was no need to return to Xu Wu. Xu Wu couldn't take it away except the people, and Liu Bei also took away everything he should have taken.

In the main camp, Zhang Fei took Wei Zheng's letter and said: "The military adviser asked me to retreat directly. When I retreated, I informed Liu Bian of the news of the Jurchen invasion. He said that once Liu Bian learned of the news of the Jurchen invasion, he would not pursue our army. .”

The generals under the account did not have any resistance, because Liu Bei had already taken their family away in advance, and they had no choice but to leave if they didn't want to retreat.

"General Luo Yi, you are ready to retreat immediately and lead the main force to go first, leaving a cavalry for me to kill. Luo Cheng, you come with me to support the Han army!" Zhang Fei got up and carried his feet. Eight snake spears said to Luo Cheng.

"No!" Luo Cheng followed Zhang Fei out of the camp, and the two rode their horses to the direction of the Han army's camp.

Inside Youbeiping, Liu Bei was trying to hide it. Liu Bian knew about his retreat, and within a few days, the news of the Jurchen soldiers entering Lingzhi had been carefully pryed and informed to Liu Bian.

"Shi Jingtang, a traitorous traitor, actually surrendered to Jurchen and betrayed the country. If I catch him, I will cut him to pieces!" Liu Bian said angrily in the Han army camp.

On weekdays, he hated traitors the most. Historically, Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to Khitan, willing to be the Khitan emperor.As a result, there was no barrier between the Song Dynasty and the North, and the land for raising horses was lost. It was weak for hundreds of years and was bullied by foreigners.

Liu Bian had previously worried that the Jurchens would enter the country because he was worried about not handling Liu Bei's affairs properly, so he used this trick to force Liu Bei to surrender.However, there are thousands of calculations, but it is impossible to calculate that Shi Jingtang actually embarked on the path of history and surrendered to foreigners, which also caused Liu Bian's heart attack to fail, and now Liu Bei fled to Liaodong.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Now that Liu Bei has fled to Liaodong, You Beiping is empty. Our army should quickly advance to occupy You Beiping. Don't let Jurchen take advantage of the vacancy to occupy You Beiping." Wei Xiaokuan said immediately, cupping his hands.

Liu Bian nodded and said: "The military adviser is right, pass on my order! Order the army to immediately regroup and prepare for the expedition, send an order to the rear Yuwen Chengdu, let it use all the cavalry to come to help, send the order to the rear, and lead [-] troops in Zhuojun The soldiers and horses go to the north to replace Yuwen Chengdu soldiers and horses, guard Shanggu, the northern part of Daijun, and guard against Mongolia!"
