The army advanced.
Xinye was about three hundred miles away from Jiangxia.
It would take a few days for an army to move forward, and now that they were bringing the hundreds of thousands of people in Xinye City, it was even slower.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who had been walking at the front, had ugly expressions on their faces.
Because Guan, Zhang, and Zhao had not returned yet!
They had been gone for two and a half days. According to the time, Guan Yu and the others should have returned last night!
Even Zhuge Liang had a bad feeling in his heart. Liu Bei's face was ashen and he did not say a word!
"Report, report, report!"
A hurried shout came from behind,
Then,
An armored soldier rushed up from behind and knelt in front of Liu Bei.
"My lord!"
"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have already returned.”
The armored soldier's expression was extremely ugly. Thinking of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's battle armor that was dyed red, cold sweat continuously dripped down his face.
"What?!"
"Where are they? Quickly bring me there!"
When Liu Bei heard this, his heart was originally at ease, but when he saw the armorer's expression, his heart instantly became tense.
A very bad feeling rose in his heart.
Just as Liu Bei finished speaking,
The sound of hurried horse hooves came from behind. Looking back, he saw his two younger brothers slowly rushing towards him.
The two of them were pale, and their armor was dyed red with blood. Blood kept dripping down from their armor, and it was impossible to tell if it was their blood.
"Second Brother, Third Brother!"
Seeing this, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment. He shouted and quickly rode forward.
Even Zhuge Liang's expression changed.
He stood rooted to the ground and looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in disbelief. The feather fan in his hand immediately stopped.
He was stunned for a moment before he spurred his horse to follow!
"Big brother…"
"Brother, you're back…Big brother."
Seeing the nervous expression on Liu Bei's face, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei laughed bitterly and said with a trembling voice.
At this moment,
Their mounts had already run out of strength.
Even Guan Yu's Red Hare horse had collapsed to the ground, letting out waves of sorrowful cries.
An Lin was ambushed.
The two of them had only managed to kill their way out after a night of bloody fighting, and then they had rushed for a hundred miles. What strength could this mount have?
"Second brother, third brother?"
"What exactly happened? How did the two of you end up like this?"
With one hand holding Guan Yu and the other holding Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's eyes were red and his expression was sorrowful.
"Big brother…"
"Cao Cao's army released fire arrows outside Xinye City and ignited the coal and kerosene in the city. Xinye City was engulfed in a fire and General Zhao was surrounded!”
"The two generals waited bitterly at the ambush point. When the Cao army did not retreat, they brought people to investigate."
"In the end, we were ambushed by the Cao army on the way…"
"Our 5,000 men have been completely lost. Even Zilong…He's missing."
Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Zhang Fei could no longer hold it in and started crying.
Five thousand brothers, a whole five thousand men!
These people had followed them for many years and had followed them everywhere until now.
But who knew?
All of them had died in this battle.
The huge disadvantage in numbers had already determined their fate the moment they were surrounded.
"Zhuge Liang! Zhuge Liang!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
Speaking of sadness, Zhang Fei could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He immediately tried to stand up and cut Zhuge Liang.
But…
At this moment, what strength did the two of them have? He struggled for a long time but could not stand up.
"What is it? My chain plan has been broken?"
" Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
However, Zhuge Liang did not care about Zhang Fei at all. He kept thinking about what Zhang Fei had said, his face full of disbelief.
"The Cao army must have found some clues about you.”
"Otherwise, this plan would never have been broken!”
He couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out at all.
His plan had taken advantage of all the geographical and psychological advantages. How could this be?
Upon hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Zhang Fei could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He tried to stand up again but was stopped by Guan Yu.
Unlike Zhang Fei's impetuous personality, Guan Yu was arrogant but he knew how to use his brain.
Furthermore, Guan Yu also studied the art of war!
Zhuge Liang's plan was not a problem in terms of military strategy. He also felt that this was the case. However, he could not figure out the outcome.
After a few seconds of silence, Guan Yu recalled what had happened. Suddenly, he recalled what Cao Ren had said at the beginning!
"Your plan has been seen through by Mr. Jiang!”
The situation had been grim just now. Now that it was safe, Guan Yu naturally thought of this. Who was this Mister Jiang?
Thinking of this, Guan Yu frowned and looked at Liu Bei.
"Big brother,"
"Cao Ren said that a Mr. Jiang saw through this plan.”
Hearing this, Liu Bei turned to look at Zhuge Liang,""Mr. Jiang? Have you ever heard of Mr. Yijiang in the Cao army?”
However, Zhuge Liang's expression remained unchanged. His face was filled with disbelief. However, he frowned and shook his head.
"My lord…"
"No matter what, this is my fault.”
"Lord, please punish me."
After thinking for a long time, Zhuge Liang really couldn't figure out who this Mr. Jiang was. However, the current situation showed that his plan had been foiled.
Zhuge Liang was not a person who did not dare to face failure. After thinking about it, he knelt on the ground with an apologetic expression.
The plan was defeated and 5,000 men were lost.
One had to know that Liu Bei only had a total of 10,000 soldiers. These 5,000 people did not sound like a lot, but they were already considered Liu Bei's small centaurs!
Moreover, Zhao Yun had not returned yet, so he did not know if she was alive or dead.
Now that he had calmed down, Zhuge Liang naturally blamed himself.
"Advisor Jun, what are you saying? Quickly get up."
"Victory and defeat are common in a soldier,"
"I, Liu Bei, have been wandering for half my life until I met you. I only won once.”
"As for Zilong,"
"I believe in his ability. He will definitely return safely!”
Seeing Zhuge Liang kneel down, Liu Bei quickly reached out and pulled him up. There were even tears in his eyes as he spoke.
"My lord…"
"This subject will definitely be loyal to the lord in this life and will do my best until I die!”
Looking at Liu Bei in front of him, Zhuge Liang's eyes reddened in an instant. He was very touched.
But…
Although Liu Bei did not want to blame Zhuge Liang now, with Zhuge Liang's character, how could he not think about this?
Who was this Mister Jiang who had suddenly appeared? Why had he never heard of it?
For some reason, Zhuge Liang, who had always been confident but cautious, suddenly felt a sense of danger.
This person has just appeared and he has already broken my chain of plans? Could it be that this person is my destined enemy?
This thought grew stronger as soon as it was born.
Zhuge Liang also turned around and looked in the direction of Xinye, his brows tightly knitted!
