The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 297
"That's right. We still have [-] soldiers here. We left half of the soldiers behind the lord's palace, and then the lord led [-] soldiers to break through to Jiangling Port. Although Gan Ning broke through Jiangling, there must not be many soldiers in Jiangling City. Seeing our soldiers and horses, most of them dare not chase them out, as long as they reach Jiangling Port, they can cross the river."

"Okay, just do what Zirou said." Liu Biao made a decision without any hesitation.

"But who should be the rear guard to stop Li Yuan's pursuit?" Cai Mao asked a question, since he said this question proved that it was impossible for him to stay.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. They glanced at each other. It was obvious that no one wanted to stay, even Liu Bei. It is impossible for Liu Biao to stay and stop Li Yuan. Everyone present knows that staying in the palace is said to be close to death, so no one wants to stay.

After being silent for a while, Wenpin finally stood up and said, "Everyone, please let me, Wenpin, stay at the rear of the palace. My lord has treated me with great kindness, and today is the time for me to repay it."

Liu Biao was filled with emotion. At the most critical moment, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, who were closest to him and trusted by him, did not stand up. All the civil servants and military generals under his command also avoided looking at him. Only Wen Pin voluntarily stayed. Made him feel very sad.

"Zhongye, you must come back alive!" Liu Biao patted Wenpin on the shoulder. Although Wenpin was a famous general in Jingzhou, his relationship with Wenpin was actually very ordinary, because Wenpin was never a flatterer, so I seldom come to see him, and usually I only talk about official business, and never involve personal matters, but it is such a strange and familiar person who is willing to sacrifice his life for him.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern!" Wen Pin clasped his fists and said.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Wei stood up and said, "My lord, I am also willing to stay and assist General Wenpin."

"Zhongye, Wang Wei, you are all role models for our army. I can't do without you in Jingzhou. You must live well for me!" The corners of Liu Biao's eyes were a little moist. As the saying goes, a friend in adversity sees the truth. After this experience, Liu Biao knows who is the real one. People worthy of his trust, if Wenpin and Wang Wei can come back alive, he decided to make good use of these two people.

"Okay, my lord, let's retreat early. Li Yuan is about to kill him, and we won't be able to leave any later." Cai Mao saw that someone had volunteered to be the queen, and he urged the retreat impatiently.

So Liu Biao left five thousand soldiers to Wenpin and Wang Wei, and he took the rest of the civil servants and generals to leave Xiangyang under the escort of five thousand soldiers. Liu Biao led the people to escape from the south gate, and Li Yuan chased from the north.

When Li Yuan's army came after him, he saw that Liu Biao was about to set off, so he immediately led the army to catch up, but the soldiers led by Wen Pin came out and blocked the way of Li Yuan's army.

"Wenpin, you are also a famous general in Jingzhou. Liu Biao abandoned you. Is it worth it for you to stay and die for him?" Li Yuan said while charging, hoping to shake Wenpin's heart, because this street is a bit narrow. It was really impossible to kill him if he was blocked, so he could only watch Liu Biao run away.

"Li Yuan, you don't need to waste your words. I, Wenpin, voluntarily left behind the queen. My lord has treated me with great kindness. Even if you die for him, so what. If you want to kill him today, you have to step over my Wenpin's body! "Wen Pin's face was determined, without any hesitation. Although he had a wound on his shoulder, he still led the soldiers to fight in person, and he didn't care about the wound at all.

Wang Wei is closely guarding Wenpin. He knows how much influence Wenpin has on the Jingzhou army. If Wenpin falls, these soldiers will lose quickly, so Wenpin must not fall.

Li Yuan knew that Wenpin was a loyal man, and he knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he stopped talking nonsense and concentrated on fighting. Li Yuan had more troops and stronger combat power, so the Jingzhou army was soon defeated. No matter how brave Wenpin is, he cannot resist defeat.

Seeing this, Hua Xiong rode his horse to the front and challenged Wen Pin, "Wen Pin, do you dare to fight me Hua Xiong again?"

Wen Pin was injured by Hua Xiong when he fought with Hua Xiong before. He knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as Hua Xiong's. Facing Hua Xiong's challenge, he pretended not to hear or answer Hua Xiong's words, and continued to fight hard.

"Hmph, coward!" Hua Xiong said loudly on purpose, but Wenpin still didn't respond at all.

Finally, the two sides fought for half an hour. The Jingzhou army lost a full 3000 people, and the remaining 2000 people chose to surrender. Only Wenpin and Wang Wei still held their weapons and watched closely. Li Yuan didn't have the slightest intention of surrendering. Countless soldiers surrounded the two of them tightly. As long as Li Yuan gave an order, they would be completely torn apart.

Li Yuan looked at Wenpin and Wang Wei's stubborn eyes, which made him suddenly feel that life in this era is so fragile and cheap. As long as he gives an order, Wenpin and Wang Wei will die in front of his eyes, but the loyalty of the two And desperately, it made him reluctant to act cruelly. After all, they didn't have any hatred, they were just their own masters.

Seeing Li Yuan's hesitation, Hua Xiong walked up to him and said, "My lord, give me an order, either kill them or capture them alive."

Li Yuan looked at Wen Pin and Wang Wei who were covered in scars, and finally said: "Capture them and tie them up!"

A group of soldiers rushed forward to suppress Wenpin and Wang Wei, and tied them with ropes. The two were exhausted, even too tired to hold their weapons, let alone resist, so they were easily taken down. It may be a better choice for them not to resist.

"Is my lord trying to persuade them to surrender?" Gan Ning came over and asked, he thought Li Yuan had developed a love for talents.

"Maybe, maybe not." Li Yuan said something casually, which made Gan Ning and Hua Xiong a little puzzled, feeling that Li Yuan was too inscrutable, and they couldn't guess Li Yuan's inner thoughts with their realm.

Although Wenpin is a good general, it is dispensable to Li Yuan now. He already has many generals under his command, and Lumen Academy is also constantly training talents for him, so Wenpin and Wang Wei are not too important What really softened his heart was Wenpin's stubborn look.

Although Li Yuan has traveled here for a long time, he is still easy to soften his heart. I am afraid that no one would think that Li Yuan, who is invincible on the battlefield, would be a person who is easy to soften his heart. If he could choose, he would rather not kill someone. But this world is like this, many things are involuntary, people who lived in ancient times were like this, and people who live in modern times are not like this.
