Chapter 371 Liu Bei Leaves
Under the protection of Tai Shici, Liu Bei and his party finally returned to the Shangji army without any danger.
"I have met the general, thank you general for your help!"
Seeing Shang Ji, Liu Bei was in a state of embarrassment all over his body, and his face was exhausted from the relief of Wen Chengwu's virtues, but he still insisted on bowing to Shang Ji and thanking Shang Ji for his help.
Upon hearing this, Shang Ji got off his horse and helped Liu Bei up.
"Hey, I have a general understanding of what happened. This battle is not the fault of the war. The yellow scarf thief is really too cunning!" Shang Ji expressed emotion and comforted Liu Bei at the same time.
Liu Bei sighed, but didn't say anything, just a look of loneliness on his face.
Seeing Liu Bei's gloomy face, Shang Ji's heart moved, and he asked quickly: "As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. I don't know what Xuande's plan is next."
"Bei is ashamed. Because of Bei's incompetence, the three armies have been implicated. Yun Chang, who also killed him, is still unconscious. Bei is really shameless to lead the army again."
"Brother!"
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, before Shang Ji could speak, Zhang Fei shouted anxiously.
"Brother's words are wrong! The elder brother is able to bend and stretch, and the second brother is still unconscious. Could it be that the elder brother has left behind the vow of helping the world, helping the world and eliminating thieves made by our three brothers?" Zhang Fei didn't care whether he was rude or not. He ran to Liu Bei in three steps at a time, grabbed his shoulder and shook violently.
Liu Bei looked for a while, with a slight guilty look on his face, he opened his mouth, and was about to answer.
"Cough cough cough!"
At this moment, there was a light coughing sound from the carriage next to it. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were shocked and flew over to check.
It turned out that Guan Yu, who was unconscious, had a new movement.
"water"
A weak murmur came from Guan Yu's mouth.
"Water! Get water, get water!" Zhang Fei shouted to the surroundings.
But here is Shang Ji's central army, surrounded by Shang Ji's personal guards, many soldiers have set their sights on Shang Ji.
Shang Ji nodded,
Immediately a guard went to fetch water.
After a while of busy work by everyone, Guan Yu finally woke up, but at this time, Guan Yu's body was sore and limp, his limbs were weak, and he couldn't even do the simplest standing, let alone regain his former supernatural power.
But even so, Guan Yu's awakening is equivalent to giving Liu Note a shot in the arm. The depression and loneliness just now were swept away, and his fighting spirit was once again high.
Shang Ji secretly sighed in his heart, although he knew that Emperor Han Zhaolie could not lose his fighting spirit so easily, but seeing Liu Bei recover so quickly, Shang Ji still felt a little regretful.
If Liu Bei really sinks down at this point, loses his fighting spirit and extinguishes his ambition, then it might be possible to take him under his command. However, the most prominent advantage of Liu Bei in history is his extremely tenacious personality. His perseverance and repeated defeats are the best explanations for his life. This is also reflected in the beacon fire. Although the defeat in this battle was miserable, Liu Bei recovered quickly under the stimulation of the two sworn brothers from Guan and Zhang.
"General Guan is safe and sound, congratulations to Xuande!"
Although he felt a little regretful in his heart, he congratulated Liu Bei with joy on the surface.
"General Liu suffered this catastrophe to rescue Wuji. I, Zhen, are not ungrateful people. Later, I will send you some supplements to help General Guan recover as soon as possible. Once the siege of Wuji is untied, what will happen to Liu The general must also thank you!"
Li Cai finally interjected, and promised Liu Bei swearingly.
"Thank you, General Shang, and shopkeeper Li!" Liu Bei bowed to thank the two.
"As the general said, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. This defeat was caused by Bei's negligence. You must remember this lesson, regroup as soon as possible, and report this revenge as soon as possible!" Liu Bei, who had recovered, never mentioned it. Just now the topic of leading the army was no longer mentioned, but the matter of fighting again.
"I don't know what specific plans Xuande has," Shang Ji asked.
"To tell you the truth, generals, in this war the troops will be lost, so there is no way to rescue Wuji. I plan to go back to Changshan County for the time being, where the Yellow Turbans are relatively weak, so it's just right for me to regroup!"
"When Bei's strength has recovered, he will go south to Zhao County to support Master Lu. It is ashamed to say that Bei received His Majesty's order to support Master Lu quickly, but now he has missed his schedule!"
Liu Bei said with a face of shame.
"Xuande might as well wait for a while. This general was also entrusted by shopkeeper Li to go to Wuji to rescue the Zhen family. Otherwise, Xuande will go with this general to relieve the siege of the Zhen family and then go south to Handan together." Shang Ji also put away his contempt for the horror of the Yellow Turban Army and the senior Yellow Turban historical generals, and invited Liu Bei to go with him.
Although Liu Bei was defeated this time, it was not because Liu Bei's army was too weak, it was purely because the Yellow Turban Army in the state of fortune was too powerful and terrifying.
"The general is very kind and ready to accept it, but now there are only a thousand remnants left in the reserve, which is really not enough to cooperate with the general. The general has a large army, and it is easy for the general to break the siege of Wuji, and there is no need to prepare for it!" Liu Bei said. He was determined to leave, and refused Shang Ji's solicitation.
"Hey, since Xuande's intention to go has been decided, I can't force him to stay. How about this, I have collected a lot of spoils from the battle these days. Xuande's troops have lost all their armor and food, so I will support Xuande first. Twenty thousand shi of grain, a thousand horses, and a thousand sets of weapons and armor will help Xuande make a comeback!"
For the sake of past affection, Shang Ji took out some supplies and food and donated them to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Great kindness, General, I feel grateful for five!" Although this amount is not worth mentioning, Liu Bei is still very happy. After all, Liu Bei is now back to the pre-liberation after a defeat. Without any support, even the thousand soldiers could not support them.
Seeing this, Li Cai immediately took out a lot of property and donated it to Liu Bei to help him make a comeback.
Liu Bei seemed impatient to fight the Yellow Turban again. After receiving the gifts from Shang Ji and Li Cai, he immediately left with the remnants and Guan Zhang. Of course, Guan Yu left lying down on the carriage.
"General Shang is really a hero! With such a pillar, the Yellow Turban will definitely not be able to become a great climate!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he watched the barracks gradually disappearing.
Liu Bei's face trembled unnaturally, and then Zhang Fei said: "Of course, General Shang is naturally a great hero."
"With the support of General Shang, we can regroup again. When the second brother recovers, we will put down the Zhongshan Yellow Turban Bandits as soon as possible, and then go south to Handan to seek revenge from Zhang Liang!"
Mentioning Zhang Liang, Zhang Fei gritted his teeth with hatred, wanting to eat his flesh raw.
"No rush, no rush, revenge will come!" Liu Bei chuckled, but his eyes flashed coldly. For the first defeat since his debut, Liu Bei can be said to be unforgettable, and he has unprecedented hatred for the Yellow Turban Army.
