Chapter [329] Liu Bei Was Defeated And Took Xuzhou Lightly
Xuzhou.
Liu Bei walked in the fields with a sad face, and the fertile cultivated land was overgrown with weeds.
Originally, the golden autumn season was approaching, and the land was supposed to be full of crops waiting for a mature harvest.
But at this time, on the land of Xuzhou, there are only weeds and weeds, which are still withered and yellow.
Xuzhou is doomed to have no harvest this year, and when the autumn harvest comes, the weeds in the fields will be completely withered and yellow, and there will be no chance to eat grass to satisfy our hunger.
Originally, this season should be the busiest time and the happiest time for the people.
But at the moment, the fields are empty, and the whole Xuzhou is lifeless, giving people a sense of loneliness.
Even Liu Bei at this moment has white beard and hair, and Liu Bei, who is over half a century old, looks like an old man who is dying at this moment.
Before Lu Bu attacked Jiangdong, Liu Bei had just married Jiangdong and was going to be the groom's official. At that time, Liu Bei was in a very good state of mind. Although he was fifty years old, he looked like he was about forty years old.
However, in just one year, Liu Bei seemed to have aged twenty years. He looked like a person buried up to his neck in loess, and he was still as vigorous as before.
Despair can speed up aging.
Since the defeat at Poyang Lake, Liu Bei has been shrouded in despair.
No matter how deceitful he is, Liu Bei knows he has no chance.
With the fall of Sun Ce, Jiangdong and Jingnan were successively occupied by Lu Bu, and the general situation of the world has been irreversible.
Even if Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang for advice, Zhuge Liang was speechless and silent.
No matter how wise Zhuge is, he is helpless in the current situation, and he can't think of any way to break the situation.
There is the Yellow River in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, the East China Sea in the east, and the iron walls of the Great Qin Dynasty and millions of soldiers in the west.
The Cao and Liu families have been framed to death. If you fight north, they will not have enough troops. If you fight south, they will have no navy. To the east is the endless sea, and to the west are Hangu Pass, Tongguan, and Wuguan.
More importantly, the Cao and Liu families have no more troops, and each has only 30,000 troops left to guard the house, and the total is only 60,000 troops.
Among them, Cao Cao is okay, at least there is still food to eat, but Liu Bei will soon face the dilemma of running out of food throughout the territory.
It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how powerful Zhuge Liang is, he can't make food out of thin air.
Looking for Cao Cao to borrow? This is the rations of the soldiers and civilians of a state. Cao Cao's family has no surplus food to help. It is okay to help Liu Bei and his army, but the people of Xuzhou are powerless
Sitting powerlessly on the ground, Liu Bei grabbed a handful of loess and held it tightly in his hands.
Since the crops in the field had been destroyed long ago, no one had irrigated the cultivated land, and the soil was extremely dry, slipping from Liu Bei's hands like quicksand.
"After all, I can't catch anything`〃." Liu Bei sighed.
Guan Yu, who was on the side, followed Liu Bei all the time. Guan Yu, who had the title of "beautiful bearded man", also had a one-foot-long beard under his jaw turned gray, not the original black and shiny state.
In fact, since Zhang Fei's death, no matter Liu Bei or Guan Yu, both of them are aging rapidly, but it was not obvious before, and now it has become particularly conspicuous.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu sat on the ground and stood aside, neither of them wanted to speak.
This silence lasted not long before it was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Sun Gan came from a distance in a hurry, holding a military newspaper in his hand.
"My lord! Something is wrong, and the Qin army from the direction of Qingzhou is attacking again."
Before Liu Bei could digest the news, Jian Yong followed closely behind.
"My lord! Things are going wrong. The Qin army's navy is heading north, headed for Huainan."
The first one didn't react, Liu Bei went numb, sitting on the ground without any movement, neither happy nor sad.
Sun Qian and Jian Yong were more anxious than the other, seeing Liu Bei's appearance couldn't help getting angrier, and urged: "My lord, hurry up and make up your mind."
"Hehe." Liu Bei smiled expressionlessly, and said, "Don't worry...don't worry, we'll talk about it when Kong Ming comes."
Sure enough, Liu Bei did not wait in vain, Zhuge Liang came in a hurry, followed by Zhao Yun.
"Kong Ming, what else can I do?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with an apologetic face.
He personally invited this virtuous person to come out of the mountain, but Liu Bei has never been able to provide Zhuge Liang with a platform for Zhuge Liang to display his talents. Instead, Zhuge Liang has been sewing and mending to solve various troubles for Liu Bei.
Make the best use of things and make the best use of people's talents. Liu Bei failed to let Zhuge Liang show his talents. This is something Liu Bei feels very guilty about.
"Let's retreat, my lord." Zhuge Liang said, "Take the army to Xu County and join Cao Cao."
What can Zhuge Liang do? Xuzhou is almost out of food, and if the Qin army does not come in a few days, the army left behind will have to run out of food and collapse.
Not to mention that now that the Qin army is coming, and the north and south are encircled by hundreds of thousands of troops, Liu Bei cannot stop either side.
If you don't run away quickly, once you are surrounded by the Qin army, you will have no chance to escape.
"Alas~" Liu Bei sighed, "I, Liu Bei, have been wandering all my life. I have fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly, and I have been defeated repeatedly. In the end, I still have nothing to achieve. I need to rely on others. How unfair the heavens are! The thief Lu can't do anything!"
No matter how strong the adverse quotient is, there will always be times when it will be crushed.
Liu Bei survived for a lifetime, and failed to defeat him countless times, but this time he escaped from Xuzhou, which made Liu Bei lose his composure.
This run will not only lose the foundation, but also the run is not very useful, so what if we join forces with Cao Cao? There is still no hope in sight, and there is no possibility of defeating Lu Bu at all.
Although he ran from Xuzhou to Yuzhou and temporarily escaped with his life, he just sat and waited in another place. Apart from being able to survive for a while, the ending will not change in any way.
Therefore, Liu Bei suddenly gave up on himself and didn't want to play anymore. He planned to lay down on the spot and let the Qin army's cavalry step over him.
"`~My lord, let's go." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice, "Maybe there is still hope?"
"There is no hope..." Liu Bei shook his head.
"Even for the sake of the Han family, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you should not give up." Zhuge Liang said, "Has the lord forgotten what he said in Longzhong?"
"If you want to believe in righteousness in the world!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but think of the rhetoric at the beginning. After so many years, Liu Bei himself almost forgot it. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang still remembered it.
Liu Bei, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't help looking at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's eyes were filled with encouragement, and he said, "My lord, even if we fail, we, the monarch and his ministers, must join hands to complete the final journey, and finally we must stand up and leave the stage instead of giving up on ourselves."
After speaking, Zhuge Liang stretched out his palm to Liu Bei.
"Crack!" (Get Qian Zhao)
Liu Bei stretched out his palm and clenched his hands tightly. Zhuge Liang pulled hard and pulled Liu Bei up from the ground.
At this moment, Liu Bei's face was relieved, and his high spirits recovered again.
Although Liu Bei knew that he would fail in the end, as Zhuge Liang said, he should not give up on himself, even if he was going to die in the end, he had to stand up and die, and he had to bite off a piece of Lu Bu when he was dying.
Before the Qin army entered the country, Liu Bei led an army of 30,000 troops and headed west to Xu County to join Cao Cao.
The Xuzhou people went to Loukong, and Qin Jun naturally took over Xuzhou in Huainan with ease.
The navy fleet began to transport food and grass from Jiangdong, and then transferred it to Xuzhou, and started disaster relief in the name of Lu Bu and Daqin.
When doing bad things, it is in the name of Cao Cao; when doing good things, it is in the name of Lu Bu and Qin Jun.
A large amount of food was sent to the victims, and the effect of this wave of invitations to buy people's hearts was directly full, and the people of Xuzhou began to regard themselves as Qin people in an instant. .
