Chapter 9-Liu Bei Was A Little Dumbfounded! (New book!)
After Cao Cao gave the order, the Yuyang Camp set off.
Cao Chun led the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and headed straight for Xinye. He met up with Cao Ren's cavalry in Xinye and began to pursue Liu Bei.
Five thousand tigers and leopards rode across the plains, stirring up dust like a rolling earth dragon.
Among the earth dragons, spears were like a forest, and horses neighed.
Zhuge Yi could feel the indomitable aura from afar.
"The Tiger Leopard Cavalry is indeed the elites of the world!”
.........
Yichang was about a day's journey from Xinye.
At this moment, on the way to Yi Chang, countless people were supporting each other on the plains.
A few days ago, they heard that Cao Cao's army was about to attack Xinye, and the people panicked.
This was because Cao Cao had a history of massacring cities many times.
This caused the commoners to panic.
Back then, in order to quickly unify the world, Cao Cao had said that those who surrendered after being surrounded would be killed.
What did this mean?
Those who surrendered after being surrounded were killed.
This sentence was very bloody at that time.
Whether it was the civilians or the soldiers, as long as they resisted and did not surrender, they would be killed.
Many people died because of this.
But similarly, under the threat of this sentence, the Cao army was often unstoppable.
A few days ago, there were rumors in the city that Cao Cao's army was coming.
When the commoners were panicking, Liu Bei shouted from the top, saying that he would bring the commoners to hide from the Cao army.
Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is known all over the world.
Therefore, the commoners rushed to stand up and follow Liu Bei out of Xinye to flee to Jiangling.
Hundreds of thousands of people were packed on the plains like ants moving their houses.
At the front of the commoners, there was a disorganized army. Their armor was not neat and they did not have many weapons.
At the very front was a pair of cavalrymen that numbered only a hundred or so.
More than half of them were riding white horses, while the rest were old horses.
The person in the lead had long arms, a pair of large ears, and thick earlobes. He was wearing armor and a white cloak. He was middle-aged and looked a little tired.
This person looked very ordinary, but he gave off a feeling that made people want to get close to him.
He was the Imperial Uncle of the Emperor, the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.
People called him Uncle Liu, and the common people called him Envoy Liu.
Because he loved the people like his own children, he was loved by the people.
Beside Liu Bei, there was another person holding a feather fan and wearing a white square hat. His face was as white as jade and his eyes were bright.
The sky was already dark, and the troops were holding torches in front of them.
"Military Advisor, I believe that your arrangements have been successful. Cao Ren must have led his army into the city without knowing that there was a trap. This time, the Cao army will definitely know how powerful you are!”
Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was riding beside him and holding a feather fan.
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly as if he had everything under control."As long as Cao Cao's army enters Xinye, my lord will have nothing to worry about on this journey.”
When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's words, a smile finally appeared on his face.
This was the best news he had heard recently.
Liu Biao suddenly died, and Liu Qi intended to surrender to Cao Cao under the persuasion of Cai Mao and others.
This was something Liu Bei did not want to see.
If Liu Qi surrendered, he would have no way out.
Therefore, Liu Bei immediately listened to Zhuge Liang's suggestion and went to Jiangling.
Jiang Ling was an important town in Jing Province, with abundant troops and food. Moreover, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack with the help of the waterway.
Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to lead a small number of ships south to Jiangling.
Then, he went from Xinye to Dangyang and headed to Jiangling.
Before leaving, Zhuge Liang offered a plan.
He left an empty city in Xinye and hid kerosene in the city. When the Cao army entered Xinye, he lit the kerosene.
Thus, they could stop the Cao army from pursuing them.
Liu Bei was overjoyed.
At the beginning of the year, the fire at Bowang Slope had already eliminated Cao Jun once.
If he was burned again, Cao Cao would know how powerful he was.
"With the help of the military counselor, it is only a matter of time before the Han Dynasty is restored. I admire the military counselor's divine foresight. Please accept my bow!”Liu Bei's expression was sincere as he sat on his horse and cupped his hands towards Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang quickly shook his head.
"What is my lord doing? This is my duty. How can I let my lord thank me? Helping my lord to support the Han Dynasty is my blessing!”Zhuge Liang was touched.
"Military Advisor!"
"My lord!"
Liu Bei's eyes were filled with tears.
"I have been wandering for half my life and devoted myself to the great cause of the Han Dynasty. However, the giant thief is in power and has done nothing for half my life. Fortunately, I have the military counselor.”Liu Bei's eyes were filled with tears, and his words were sincere.
"It is my honor to meet my lord."
"My lord, bad news, bad news!”
A hurried shout interrupted Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's 'facial expressions'.
"Ah?"
Liu Bei was shocked." What's wrong? What's the matter?"”
A small officer riding on a yellow horse caught up to Liu Bei and cupped his hands while panting,""Lord, it's Xinye!"
Xinye?
Liu Bei was stunned.
"What's wrong with Xinye? Tell me quickly!”Liu Bei urged.
"My lord, the military counselor's arrangements in Xinye were discovered by the Cao army. When the Cao army was halfway into Xinye, they suddenly withdrew!”The colonel's expression was ugly.
"This…"
Liu Bei turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang.”
