The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 296 Escape Route
"After General Huang lost to Hua Xiong, he handed over all the soldiers and horses to General Zhang Fei. General Zhang Fei lost a bloody battle with Li Yuan's army and fled. Then he joined Liu Bei and Guan Yu's army, and was finally flanked by Li Yuan. Ours The soldiers have no intention of fighting anymore, many of them dropped their weapons and surrendered, finally the three Liu Bei brothers broke through and killed them, and now they are rushing towards the State Shepherd's Mansion, Li Yuan's soldiers and horses are also chasing after them, please give me an order to deal with it."

As soon as the soldiers had finished speaking, the three Liu Bei brothers had already arrived at the gate of the State Shepherd's Mansion. Liu Biao led the crowd out to check, and saw that the three Liu Bei's armor was not in order and they were out of breath. Even the fierce general Zhang Fei was injured a lot. How fierce is the battle.

"How are you Xuande?" Liu Biao asked anxiously.

Before Liu Bei had time to rest, he hurriedly said, "Liu Jingzhou, Li Yuan's army is extremely aggressive. It seems that Xiangyang is going to be difficult to defend. The best strategy is to give up Xiangyang for the time being."

"What? It's impossible for us to give up Xiangyang. Xiangyang is our foundation. If we even give up Xiangyang, how can we deal with Li Yuan? Besides, we still have [-] soldiers here. It's not that there is no chance of turning defeat into victory." Cai Maodi One stood up and disagreed. No one except Liu Biao knew the importance of Xiangyang better than him. All these places in Xinye Jiangxia combined were not as important as Xiangyang.

"Hmph, we're working hard outside. Of course you don't know how powerful Li Yuan is if you rest comfortably here. I have to guard you. I, Mr. Zhang, won't stick around with you." Zhang Fei couldn't help cursing, of course you don't have to charge forward, Cai Mao. I don't know how powerful Li Yuan is, and this Xiangyang is not Liu Bei's territory, so why should Zhang Fei stay and die with you. ,

"Zhang Fei!" Cai Mao glared at Zhang Fei.

"What about me? If you, Cai Hao, are so capable, you will personally lead the soldiers to resist Li Yuan. If you can block Li Yuan's shot, I will lose, and Zhang Fei will bow your head and admit your mistake." Zhang Fei asked the soldiers to deal with it. Said on the injury side.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense, now is not the time for the enemy to quarrel." Guan Yu stood between Zhang Fei and Cai Mao, so as not to cause conflict between the two. Once there was a fight, Guan Yu could guarantee that Cai Mao would not even be able to receive Zhang Fei's punch.

"Liu Jingzhou, I know the importance of Xiangyang, and I also know that there are [-] troops guarding the State Shepherd's Mansion, but the biggest disadvantage of the Jingzhou army is not that it has fewer troops than Li Yuan, but that their morale and fighting spirit are not as good as Li Yuan's army. Now I escaped not because I was completely defeated by Li Yuan, but because the Jingzhou army had become war-weary, which made them choose to surrender. Even if you still have [-] fresh troops here, how much confidence do you have to stop Li Yuan's army? You must know that there are at least tens of thousands of people in Li Yuan who have not yet crossed the river, if they all come over, can you guarantee to stop them?"

What Liu Bei was really worried about was Li Yuan's unarmed troops. Once these soldiers crossed the river, they would definitely be unable to escape.

Liu Biao was still a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that Li Yuan still had tens of thousands of troops not on the battlefield, he made up his mind and said, "Abandon Xiangyang and break out to Jiangling!"

"Master, do you really want to give up Xiangyang?" Cai Mao said unwillingly.

"That's right, but we still have a chance to call back in the future." When Liu Biao said this, everyone knew how slim the chance of calling back to Xiangyang was.

Kuai Liang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally said, "Master, everyone, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Jiangling."

"Can't go to Jiangling? What's the explanation for Zirou's words?" Liu Biao asked because he didn't understand. The others looked at Kuai Liang strangely, thinking that Kuai Liang was talking nonsense because of Li Yuan's fright.

"Maybe Jiangling has already been captured by Gan Ning." Kuai Liang was expressionless. Although he didn't want to think this way, it was very likely to have become a reality.

"Kuai Liang, don't talk nonsense. Why was Jiangling captured by Gan Ning? Although the lord has mobilized half of the soldiers and horses in Jiangling, there are at least 5000 people guarding Jiangling. How could Gan Ning easily take Jiangling? Jiangling is behind Xiangyang, and Xiangyang has not broken through, so how could Jiangling..."

Before Cai Mao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. Didn't Gan Ning come from behind Xiangyang? After thinking about it carefully, he realized what Kuai Liang meant.

"Everyone, I think you all know that the reason why we were attacked by Gan Ning is because no one thought that he would come from the direction of Jiangling. Since he came from Jiangling, it means that Jiangling has been taken by him, otherwise he would How could it be possible to attack Xiangyang without our knowledge? I think he used the method of attacking Xiangyang to attack Jiangling. That's why Jiangling failed to send a distress call to Xiangyang. If we flee to Jiangling now, I'm afraid we will hit Li Yuan's trap, he had already set up an ambush in Jiangling."

Kuai Liang slowly analyzed for the crowd, and everyone felt that it was true when they heard it. With Jiangling's strength, Gan Ning could only use a sneak attack if he wanted to break the city, and only in the case of a sneak attack, Jiangling didn't have time to ask Xiangyang for help. , and the back of Xiangyang can only lead to Jiangling and cannot go to other places, so there is a [-]% chance that Jiangling has been taken by Gan Ning.

"Zi Rou, how did you say Gan Ning attacked Jiangling? Could it be that Gan Ning traveled by water?" Liu Biao guessed.

"That's right," Kuai Liang nodded, "We have always known that Gan Ning trained the navy in Lujiang, so I deployed a lot of troops in Jiangxia and Xiangyang, but I didn't expect that Gan Ning did not attack Jiangxia and Xiangyang first. Going around behind us to attack Jiangling, I think he first crossed the river to attack Wulin, then attacked Jiangling, and finally attacked Xiangyang, because no one could have predicted that Gan Ning would come from behind, so whether it was Wulin and Jiangling, or Xiangyang was easily attacked by Gan Ning, this strategy was very clever."

Even Kuai Liang had to admit that attacking Jiangling from behind was a clever plan. He didn't know whether it was Gan Ning's plan or a strategist under Li Yuan's command. It's so powerful, both civil and military, Wen can give advice, and Wu can charge forward. Even if they can escape successfully, Gan Ning will definitely be a strong enemy of their navy in the future.

"Kai Zirou don't say these are useless, you should think of a way to escape, since you can't go to Jiangling, where should we go?" Cai Mao asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, everyone. Although we can't go to Jiangling, we can go to Jiangling Port. Jiangling Port is located to the south of Jiangling, not in the city. We can go directly to Jiangling Port and cross the river to Jingnan. As long as we reach Jingnan, we will be relatively safe. It's over." Kuai Liang thought that they had only this way of retreat.

"Are you referring to crossing the river directly by boat without attacking Jiangling?" Cai Mao was very clever once in a while.
