Chapter 318 Liu Bei vomits blood, Xiangyang City is broken

One couldn't hold back, and a mouthful of old blood was sprayed out directly. Holding the city wall with one hand, Liu Bei roared angrily in a low voice.

"A [-] army! Where did the [-] army come from!"

Then he directly pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at the casual civil servants and generals, and yelled loudly.

"Which army is this! I don't know why the enemy army is under the city wall! Where are the defenders along the way? Why don't you stop them!"

Looking at the dark enemy army below, even Guan Yu's heart sank to the bottom of the valley at this moment.

"Brother, according to my opinion, the lineup of soldiers here should be the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou nobles. According to reports from the spies, the Jingzhou nobles have not encountered any resistance along the way, and the defenders may have rebelled long ago."

Hearing what Guan Yu said, Liu Bei suddenly felt dizzy, and after staggering back two steps, his heart was also filled with endless resentment.

"Why is this! Who did they believe in the rumors and dare to rebel! Don't they know that Jingzhou Mu is in the city right now! Who is spreading the rumors?"

Taking a deep breath, looking at the banners of the powerful families below, he was able to see so many wealthy Jingzhou families gathered together in a short period of time, with such a powerful and famous person, Liu Bei thought of someone at that time.

It was the hermit Lord Pang De who he had visited countless times and wanted him to be an official to assist him, but he was always unwilling!

Only he can have such a great reputation in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's heart was filled with endless anger.

Thinking that I respected him so much back then, and wanted to let him serve as an assistant to me, but was directly rejected by this person, but until now, I have treated him with courtesy and never treated him badly.

But he never thought that this old man would organize the wealthy clan of Jingzhou to pull him down?At this moment, Liu Bei's heart was filled with deep anger.

He wished he could hold his sword now, come to Lord Pound and ask him why he did this, and then chop him to death with his sword.

Seeing that the eldest brother was so sad, Zhang Fei suddenly became unhappy, and holding the Zhangba Snake Spear, he asked Liu Bei:

"Brother, don't worry! These thieves are just a bunch of mobs. Wait for Brother to give me a team and watch me rush down. I'll kill them all in no time!"

Seeing that Zhang Fei wanted to mobilize his men to charge forward after finishing speaking, Ma Liang stood in front of Zhang Fei and tried to dissuade him:
"No general!"

Xu Shu was not with him in this matter in Xiangyang City. Ma Liang was the one who advised Xu Shu on his behalf, and he was also the calmest person in Xiangyang City.

Seeing Zhang Fei stop, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Liu Bei;
"My lord, there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops under Xiangyang City, but my Xiangyang City has only [-] defenders at this time. If we want to fight hard, our army will not have the slightest advantage."

"At the moment, our army can only hold on to Xiangyang City. It is best to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Taking advantage of the danger of Xiangyang City, it is not easy for the enemy to capture Xiangyang City. Our army can hold on to Xiangyang City. At that time, an order was issued to the rest of the places to gather troops to rescue Xiangyang City."

After listening to what Ma Liang said, Liu Bei also reacted. Liu Bei has fought for many years, and he still has the thoughts and vigilance he should have. It was just because he was so angry that he lost his mind for a while.

Now that he is awake again, he immediately understands the stakes. The most important thing is that Liu Bei believes that the soldiers under the city are also his soldiers in Jingzhou, but they opposed him because of the bewitching of those rebels.
In the end, these soldiers still have to return to his hands, and he still needs them to work hard for him to guard this Jingzhou for him.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei left the city wall and went straight to Liu Qi's bedroom before he could explain anything.

After dismissing the servants who took care of Liu Qi, Liu Bei held Liu Qi's hand and wrote a letter from Liu Qi himself.

Then, it was taken to the city tower and handed over to the soldiers guarding the city to read,

The general content of this handwritten letter is to tell the soldiers under the city wall that the wealthy families they follow are all traitors, and they have all become rebels.

But he, Liu Bei, is kind, as long as the soldiers under the city wall put down their weapons and raise their hands to surrender, they can forget the past.

The entire handwriting was extremely full of justice, but the powerful troops from all walks of life had made preparations long before they arrived, and they all read the thief-suppressing proclamation written by Lord Pang De to the soldiers.

Therefore, hearing what Liu Bei said at this moment, the soldiers present felt ridiculous.

After Liu Bei's soldiers finished reading the manuscript, Kuai Liang rode slowly to the city wall.

"Big-eared thief! You pretend to be benevolent on the surface, but you are actually a sinister and cunning person. Now that Jingzhou Mu has been killed by you, how can you have the face to do things in the name of Jingzhou Mu?"

Looking at Liu Bei on the city wall, Kuai Liang's eyes were full of deep disdain.

"Liu Bei! As the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, you are supposed to be an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, treacherous villain! What kind of face do you have to see your ancestors under the nine springs! Our righteous soldiers are here to fetch you Dog life, if you still have a sliver of conscience, you should bind your hands and hold the jasper in your mouth to open the city and surrender, if not, when our righteous soldiers invade Xiangyang, you will die without a place to bury you!"

After saying that, Kuai Liang turned his horse and ran away.

When Liu Bei listened to Kuai Liang's read out of the thieves-suppressing document drafted by Mr. Pang De, a fire of anger rose in his heart, a pain in his chest, and a mouthful of old blood gushed out directly.

But although he was very angry, he had no way to refute. After all, what Kuai Liang said was true, which made it impossible for him to retaliate.

Panting heavily, Liu Bei's eyes were filled with flames of endless anger.

Seeing Kuai Liang leave, he directly pulled out the sword from his waist, wanting to rush down and kill him on the spot while speaking.

"It's not necessary, big brother, it's not necessary, big brother, it's not necessary!"

Seeing that Liu Bei was so angry, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly pulled him back from left to right, for fear that he would do something stupid on impulse.

As soon as Liu Bei was appeased, Guan Yu directly picked up the bow and arrow beside him, bent the bow and set the arrow, and shot straight at Kuai Liang in an instant.

At this moment, Kuai Liang, who was about to reach the camp, suddenly heard a sound of piercing through the air, and when he looked back, he saw a sharp arrow flying towards him.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang quickly bowed his head, and then the flying arrow directly brushed Kuai Liang's scalp and inserted it directly into the pillar in front of him.

Seeing the flying arrows stuck tightly on the pillar, Kuai Liang was in a cold sweat instantly, knowing that he was already far away from the range of the bow and arrow.

But this guy can still have such terrifying strength, the generals under Liu Bei are really tough people.

Although the number of rebels united by the wealthy clan far exceeds the number of troops under Liu Bei, the biggest problem now is,
Liu Bei's subordinates have Zhang Fei, two first-class generals in the world, but there is no general in the rebel army who can do it.

What's more, Xiangyang City has already been built by Liu Bei to be as stable as an iron barrel. If they attack them by force, even 10 people will not be able to capture this city.
So from the very beginning, the entire rebel army has determined the strategic goal of encircling and not fighting. Although Xiangyang City is large, its food and grass reserves are limited after all. When they have no food to eat,
At that time, no matter how brave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are, they will eventually lose to their [-] troops.

and at the same time,
The Cai brothers also spread rumors wantonly in the city, telling the people that Liu Bei was bound to fail, and hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city would soon be able to attack Xiangyang City.

For a while, rumors spread throughout Xiangyang City, and countless people also lost the will to resist and did not want to work for Liu Bei.

And in the process of continuous exploration, the servants of the Cai family also found out the location of the granary in Xiangyang City and the time when the guards changed their guards every day.

After doing all this, the Cai brothers quietly waited for the time to come.

On the other side at this moment, seeing Liu Bei who is not in a good situation, his mind can't help but become active. At this moment, he wants to wander again.

In the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, if Liu Bei was a rookie in war, then Liu Bei has nothing to say, but if you say that Liu Bei can't run away, then he will break up with you.

You know, in terms of running, Liu Bei said he was the second, and no one in the late Han Dynasty dared to say that he was the first. After all, he was a descendant of Gaozu, and the genes of Gaozu still flowed in his body.

Seeing that Liu Bei wanted to run away again, Guan Yu frowned slightly and advised him:

"Brother, don't worry. Now the city of Xiangyang is as solid as a rock, and the soldiers under my training are all first-class elite soldiers in the world. There is enough food and grass in the city, so I can hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Besides, there are still dozens of soldiers in the city. Tens of thousands of people, if the battle is not good, brother can mobilize the people to defend the city."

"As long as I can hold on to the city and wait for the reinforcements from the four counties in Jingnan, I can attack back and forth and turn the rebel army into powder in an instant. What's more, Xu Yuanzhi still has [-] new recruits under his command. The situation is far from perfect." It's as bad as Big Brother imagined."

In fact, after figuring out that the army under the city wall is actually composed of servants of wealthy families and some miscellaneous people, Guan Yu felt that the 10 people under the city wall were all prostitutes. fear.

Although he knew that there was a lot of truth in what Guan Yu said, Liu Bei's eyes were still full of deep anxiety.

"What the second brother said is correct, but now we don't know whether the other counties have fallen, and whether there are reinforcements available for us. If there are only [-] defenders in Xiangyang City, what should the second brother do?"

Although he knew that Liu Bei's worries were right, Guan Yu at this moment still said with extreme arrogance:
"It doesn't matter, the Kuai brothers and Zhang Yun's disciples are all incompetent people, and their army is just a bunch of gangsters. If the other counties really have no reinforcements, my third brother and I can also escort the eldest brother to Jingnan. At that time, the elder brother can bring the old troops from Jingnan to make a comeback and fight back to Xiangyang!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei also nodded lightly. Although he has reached this point now, as long as there is still a way out, everything is fine.

After all, Jingnan at this moment is already Liu Bei's last hole card.

After all, he ordered his subordinates to quickly send people to find Xu Yuanzhi, let him lead the army back to help as soon as possible, and let the Jingnan defenders organize troops to cross the river to assist Xiangyang as soon as possible.

After waiting anxiously for nearly three days, Liu Bei did not wait for the good news from his visit.

On the contrary, a lot of people came to pass on the news, and scouts from other places were sent.

Of course, these probing horses were also deliberately put in by the gentry alliance army, the purpose was to lower the morale of Liu Bei and others.

After getting the rebellion of the powerful families in the four counties of Jingnan, the prefects of the four counties were killed, and all the four counties in Jingnan fell into the hands of the powerful troops.
Most of the local troops also surrendered to the nobles. The nobles in Jingnan counties have sent troops to guard the Yangtze River ferry to prevent Liu Bei's army from returning to Jingnan.

Hearing the news, Liu Bei's eyes turned black and he was about to lie down on the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Fei quickly supported Liu Bei with his sharp eyes and hands.

At this moment, Liu Bei's eyes are full of endless resentment, and his heart is also full of sadness.

He didn't understand, how long has it been since almost everyone in the whole world started targeting him?Why did even the four Jingnan counties, who were the most loyal to him, start to rebel against him?

In an instant, Liu Bei straightened his body, drew out the sword in his hand, and drove it to his neck. At this moment, Liu Bei already wanted to be like Xiang Yu back then, to come to Wujiang to kill himself.

Seeing Liu Bei's situation, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu hurriedly stopped him.

"Brother, there's no need, there's no need, brother."

After taking the sword from Liu Bei's hand, Zhang Fei handed over the secret letter that Xu Shu had sent to Liu Bei.

"Brother, there is no need. There is still news about Xu Yuanzhi. Maybe there will be some good news."

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief. It is true that although all parts of Jingnan are occupied at this moment, at least the [-] recruits in Xu Shu's hands are still there.

But when Liu Bei opened Xu Shu's secret letter and saw the contents inside, Liu Bei felt dizzy for a while.

In Xu Shu's letter, Xu Shu first admitted his mistake. Although he has already rushed to Xiangyang now, because some recent rumors spread to the army,

Many soldiers were also affected by the rumors, and some other thoughts arose in their minds, and there was even a collective mutiny in the army.

At present, I have controlled the troops, but due to a series of reasons, I still cannot rush to Xiangyang soon.

Xu Shu stated in the letter that after integrating the troops, he would immediately go to Xiangyang.

After reading the letter from Xu Shu, Liu Bei knew that all he could rely on now was the [-] soldiers in Xiangyang City.

It is impossible for everyone else to come to support him, and now he is even more pathetic than the King of Chu back then.

For a moment, Liu Bei's heart was filled with endless resentment,
Obviously he has mastered Jingzhou, and Liu Qi is about to burp, and he is about to become the real Jingzhou shepherd,

But it was only one night, and in just one night, he was already besieged on all sides and everyone was beating him.

For a moment, Liu Bei felt a colic in his heart, clutching his heart and fell straight down.

Seeing Liu Bei fell down, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly supported him. Guan Yu frowned and looked at Zhang Fei, and reprimanded him in a low voice.

"Third Brother, what are you trying to do? You want to be sincere and mad at Big Brother!"

Hearing Guan Yu's reprimand, Zhang Fei was also stunned.

"I don't know what's going on here. I didn't even read Xu Yuanzhi's letter before handing it to my elder brother."

"Bastard! You bastard! It's all due to the group of rebels outside the city!"

Looking at Liu Bei lying unconscious on the bed, a nameless fire surged into Zhang Fei's heart in an instant.
With a low voice and angrily, Zhang Fei yelled with the Zhangba Snake Spear that he wanted to rush out of the city and poke those rebels [-] holes!

"stop!"

However, before taking two steps, he was scolded by Guan Yu.

"After many years of fighting, why are you still so reckless? If you rush out of the city now, it will create an opportunity for those rebels to attack Xiangyang City!"

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei also stopped in his tracks, but seeing Liu Bei lying on the bed, he was still very angry.
Just as I was about to say something, I saw a soldier running in in a panic.

"Two generals! The two generals are not well. The granary in the south of the city is on fire, and the north and south gates were opened by someone. At this moment, the rebels have already rushed into the city!"

The fire, of course, was set by the Cai family brothers, and the city gate, of course, was opened by the Cai family servants after beheading the city gate guards.

After learning that the gentry coalition forces had put many scouts into the city, the Cai brothers guessed that Liu Bei would be in chaos when he saw the news, and at this time they took the opportunity to make trouble in the city and let the coalition troops enter the city. opportunity.

So there is the news that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have heard now.

And after hearing the news that the city gate was opened and the gentry army had entered the city at this moment,

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also shocked instantly,

The two thought that Liu Bei's fainting at this critical moment was already a big deal, but they never expected that there were more exciting things waiting for them.

"This group of traitors! This group of traitors!"

Guan Yu knew that with the strength of Xiangyang City, there would be no problems at all in the first two or three months, and the group of allied troops would definitely not be able to break through Xiangyang City.

But I never expected that there would be traitors in Xiangyang City, but at this moment, Guan Yu couldn't control so much, he could only arrange for someone to send Liu Bei out first.

"Third brother, quickly lead elder brother out of Xiangyang!"

While speaking, Guan Yu looked directly at Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei was obviously enveloped in anger, and holding his Zhangba Snake Spear, he said to Guan Yu:

"Second brother, what are you doing? You and I have already made it clear that we don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. How can I abandon you and run for my life alone?"

Looking at Zhang Fei who was full of killing intent in front of him, Guan Yu's eyes were indeed filled with deep disappointment, and he raised his hand and slapped Zhang Fei's face.

"You idiot! Don't waste too much time here, your and my lives are not important, the most important thing is the life of the eldest brother, as long as the eldest brother is still there, sooner or later, with the ability of the eldest brother, he will start a new world, for you I take revenge!"

"Hurry up and take big brother to break through and go to Xichuan, and I will follow you later!"
