Chapter 327 Unlucky Liu Bei
Zhang Yu and the others rested overnight, and then continued northward.
Not long after Zhang Yu left Chang'an, the princes also sent troops.
It was not surprising that the princes sent troops. They believed that after more than ten days, Zhang Yu should have died long ago. At this time, they sent troops just for show.
Cao Cao and Guo Jia were still looking for Xu Rong's flaws and planned to attack, but Xu Rong defended well and failed.
And Liu Bei also led the army to slowly march towards Chang'an. In Liu Bei's estimation, it has been delayed for so many days, and he should be able to receive the news of Zhang Yu's defeat on the road, and it will not be too late to retreat by then.
All the princes made their own ideas and killed in the direction of Chang'an.
Two days later, Guo Jia received the news.
"Brother Meng De, my lord is out of trouble, and we are about to retreat. Brother Meng De, let's go together. Dong Zhuo is still very powerful, and the princes are not in harmony, so we can't do anything at all." Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao fell into deep thought and did not answer.
After Guo Jia finished talking, he went back. He still had to arrange his own affairs, and he had to give Cao Cao time.
However, Guo Jia believes that Cao Cao is a smart man and will make the right choice.
Guo Jiahui went to persuade Cao Cao. First, Zhang Yu instructed him to trick the princes if he had the opportunity. Second, Cao Cao fought side by side with him these days, and he really helped them a lot.
After Guo Jia left, several generals of Cao Cao surrounded him.
"Meng De, it's unbelievable that Zhang Yu is out of trouble."
"Zhang Yu is a true hero. He was trapped in a tight siege, but he managed to get out of it."
"Meng De, it doesn't make much sense for us to continue to attack, and we can't beat it either."
Everyone began to ask Cao Cao what he meant.
Cao Cao was silent for a long time before he said: "Stop fighting, and it's meaningless to continue fighting. Now these big Han officials have become princes. Even Sun Jian has started to plan for himself and fled south with Yuxi. For your own benefit."
Cao Cao also understood that no one really wants to attack Dong Zhuo now, it's nothing more than accumulating capital for himself.
Cao Cao planned to retreat, and he also didn't want to tell those princes that he had lost so much, and these princes still wanted to take advantage of it.
So Cao Cao reached a tacit agreement with Guo Jia, and they planned to take a detour and not return the same way.
Zhang Yu retreated, and Dong Zhuo suffered such a big loss, so he naturally wouldn't talk about it, and Guo Jia and Cao Cao didn't plan to talk about it.
The princes continued to move forward, and the one who ran in the front was of course Liu Bei, who was the first to set off before.
Although Liu Bei's speed was relatively slow on the road, he set off a few days earlier and was relatively close to the battlefield at this time.
Overnight, Guo Jia and Cao Cao both retreated and disappeared on the battlefield, and they will take a detour to leave.
Liu Bei didn't know, and plunged into the battlefield.
"Second brother, third brother, there are so many people on the side of the road here, seeing them suffer, it's really hard for a brother." Liu Bei stopped and said.
"Brother, can we do anything for them?" Guan Yu said sadly.
"When the war is over, as long as I, Liu Bei, are still alive, I must settle them down." Liu Bei said sadly.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very moved, but they didn't realize that their marching speed was very slow when they stopped now.
Liu Bei is good at calculation, no matter who has done business and sold straw mats, he can naturally calculate the approximate itinerary and time.
After walking for another three days, it was close to the place where Cao Cao and Xu Rong fought.
But there was no news of the battle between the two sides. Liu Bei thought Dong Zhuo's army had retreated and was very happy.
"Second brother, third brother, these people are suffering too much, we must drive Dong Zhuo back as soon as possible, let them settle down again, and plan to attack quickly for brother." Liu Bei said to the two.
"It's all up to Big Brother." Guan Yu said.
Zhang Fei also said: "Kill him a grandma bear."
Liu Bei was secretly happy, and immediately led the army forward quickly.
Along the way, they did not encounter Dong Zhuo's army.
After walking for two days, no trace of Dong Zhuo's army was found.
Let Liu Bei think that his guess is completely correct.
"kill."
A sudden shout of killing disrupted Liu Bei's thoughts.
An army rushed out from both sides of the road and killed them.
"Impossible, how could I meet Dong Zhuo's army first." Liu Bei was stunned, he was not prepared for the sudden encounter with Dong Zhuo's army.
It should have been Cao Cao's or Zhang Yu's army first, but I didn't expect to meet Dong Zhuo's army.
"Quick, retreat, retreat." Liu Bei shouted in panic.
Xu Rong's army immediately surrounded them halfway, and then rushed to kill them.
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in Liu Bei's army, the enemy was several times their number, and they couldn't stand it for a while.
You can only fight and retreat.
Thanks to the efforts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's army was not surrounded and fought a bloody road.
Just waiting for them to kill, Liu Bei was about to cry.
There were nearly 10,000 troops, but now there are only more than 2,000.
Liu Bei's heart is bleeding, it's all his hard work.
Liu Bei hated Zhang Yu to death, without him doing things, without him occupying Chang'an, the Allied forces could have retreated long ago, and there would not be so many things.
But Liu Bei's hatred could not be shown.
Liu Bei didn't know if he would suffer internal injuries.
"Brother, what should we do? Why is there a Xiliang Army here?" Zhang Fei asked.
There are thousands of horses galloping on Liu Bei's head, and he doesn't know why.
"The enemy is powerful, let's retreat first and then make plans."
How could Liu Bei still care about Zhang Yu at this time, he didn't want to care about it at first, and wished that Zhang Yu would die in Chang'an City immediately.
You know, Zhang Yu is powerful, if he knows that he called him a treacherous and evil person in the allied army camp, he still doesn't know how Zhang Yu will retaliate.
You know, if the Yuan family offended Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu would still take revenge, so Liu Bei is nothing.
Liu Bei led his men to retreat in a hurry, and retreated for dozens of miles in a row.
Xu Rong didn't pursue him, he had gathered 200,000 troops, and he was going to ambush Guo Jia and Cao Cao, but they retreated long ago, when the unlucky Liu Bei rushed in.
After running for dozens of miles, Liu Bei and others dared to stop and rest.
"Brother, Dong Zhuo's army is in ambush there, has something happened to Zhang Yu's army?" Guan Yu said worriedly.
"Damn Dong Zhuo, you killed so many people." Zhang Fei also said angrily.
Liu Bei almost vomited blood, and his two younger brothers didn't care about his heartache for losing so many soldiers and horses, but cared about Zhang Yu instead.
Liu Bei held his breath and hadn't set off yet.
"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, are you really my nightmare, I hope you die in Chang'an." Liu Bei thought to himself.
Liu Bei and the others found a hidden place to hide first. One day later, Liu Bei discovered that Yuan Shao and his allied forces were also heading towards Chang'an, planning to continue attacking Dong Zhuo.
"Hmph, I'll let you guys suffer too." Liu Bei thought, so he didn't inform the allies about the ambush ahead.
