Although Li Tian had expected this, he could only follow Liu Guan Zhang and chase after the enemy.
After chasing for about fifteen minutes, the sky gradually darkened, and Zhang Chun was already far away.
The wound on Li Tian's thigh started to hurt even more. It was dripping with blood and he couldn't help but slow down.
Liu Bei was concerned about his subordinates and slowed down as well.
He even personally rode alongside Li Tian, occasionally helping him control the reins.
Zhang He was burning with anxiety. Seeing that Liu Bei's men were running slower and slower, he could not help but be anxious.
"Why is County Lieutenant Liu so slow? The pursuit of thieves is like fire. How can we delay? We don't know where Zhang Chun escaped to!”
Liu Bei subconsciously looked around and advised tactfully,"
"Zhang Sima, Zhang Chunbai has rested his strength during the day. We had already run 150 li before the battle, and now we are in hot pursuit. I don't know how to catch up!”
Zhang He, who was still anxious, immediately swung his whip and said,"
"In that case! You're half responsible for not being able to catch up to Zhang Chun!”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were furious when they heard this. They clenched the eighteen feet Snake Spear's shaft so tightly that it made friction sounds. They wanted to stab it fiercely.
Fortunately, Guan Yu knew the big picture and pulled Zhang Fei back.
Li Tian sighed and suggested,"
"Zhang Sima, now is not the time to shirk responsibility. In my opinion, if you want to make up for it, don't expect Zhang Chun to chase after you. You should quickly survey the terrain at the border between Zhongshan and Youzhou.”
"If we can stop these people, it will be considered some merit.”
Zhang He rolled his eyes for a few seconds and said,"
"Forget it, that's the only way!"
"Tomorrow, I will split the 500 cavalry into two groups to block Yishui Crossing and Langshan Pass so that the bandits cannot pass.”
However, when Liu Bei and Zhang Fei heard this arrangement, they were instantly dissatisfied.
Because his hometown was Zhuo County, Zhuo County.
If Zhang He divided his forces like this, the rebel army might be able to go straight to Zhuo County along the Lai River.
Seeing that Liu Bei was not convinced, Zhang He said bluntly,"
"County Officer Liu, to put it bluntly, we have done our best to intercept the rebels.”
"As for how much damage Zhang Chun's remaining party will cause after escaping to Youzhou, it has nothing to do with us!”
"It has nothing to do with Provincial Governor Jia!"
"That's what the Provincial Governor of Youzhou Province, Tao Qian, should worry about!
Liu Bei gritted his teeth.
Seeing that something was wrong, Li Tian quickly grabbed Liu Bei and said,"
"Don't be reckless!"
"After all, Zhang Sima is an ally, not a supervisor. Let's think about it carefully!”
"I definitely have a plan to make both ends meet!"
Liu Bei was worried about his uncles and brothers in his hometown.
"If we delay it and Zhang Chun uses my family to vent his anger, what should we do?”
Li Tian finally realized the urgency of the matter and sighed,"
There was something wrong with the Han Dynasty's KP assessment system!
Liu Bei also sighed at the court's lack of understanding. Then, he forcefully brought the topic back to business.
"Boya, why don't you think about how to protect my family?”
"I really can't bear to see my hometown Zhuo County being ravaged by war!”
"Why don't we give up our official positions!"
"At most, it'll be the same as Ping Huangjin three years ago!”
"Bring the troops of the main force and recruit some local soldiers to guard our homeland!”
Li Tian was shocked.
He did not expect that he had done so many things.
He had helped Liu Bei to atone for killing Du You.
After going around in circles, Liu Bei actually had the thought of abandoning his official position.
"No!" He hurriedly stopped her.
"Abandoning my official position is a matter of great importance, how can I say it lightly…Allow me to think about it carefully.”
Liu Bei immediately grabbed Li Tian's hand.”
Li Tian analyzed," If I were to give up my position without making a sound, I'm afraid I'd lose my position for nothing."”
"Therefore, if you want to give up your official position, you have to make some other preparations first.”
"In my opinion, why don't we split up?”
"Let Yi De stay here and recruit local soldiers!”
"At the same time, send some people to infiltrate Zhuo County and rescue the families of your two families first!”
"Or we can build a fort in Yi De's old village to prevent the rebel army from invading.”
Liu Bei immediately asked,"
"Since we started the army, we have never abandoned anyone. How can we let Yi De bear it alone?”
"Then what should Chief Yun and I do?"
Li Tian quickly explained,"
"I naturally have other arrangements!"
"I didn't ask you to abandon Yi De, I just wanted Yi De to stay here to make preparations and guard for ten days to half a month.”
"Yi De, do you have the confidence to protect your big brother and family for at least half a month? Big brother's soldiers are all yours!"
Zhang Fei's sense of honor was instantly aroused.
"Don't worry, big brother, don't worry, mister! Forget about half a month, even if it's a month, as long as big brother's family is missing a finger, I'll bring my head to see them! If you have other important matters to attend to, you can rest assured and do them!”
Only then did Liu Bei give up and continue asking,"
"Then what arrangements do we have?"
Li Tian: " Right now, the most important thing is to form a tacit understanding with Zhang Sima and let go of our past grudges. Let's first come to a conclusion about all the merits and demerits we have done."”
Then, he could volunteer to be the messenger to the capital.
Then, with the excuse of 'as an official of Jizhou, I can't go to Youzhou to quell the rebel', I will abandon my official position, return to my hometown to recruit local soldiers, and go to Zhuo County to protect the elders of the villagers. I will definitely obtain the reputation of filial piety in the world!”
Li Tian's plan had to be abandoned in a grand fashion, and the world would know about it!
And it would be best if he could move some big shots!
Retreat to advance!
In the Han Dynasty, reputation was very important!
With a reputation, even if he gave up his official position, he would still be conscripted back and directly landed in a high position.
Liu Bei did not understand and asked,"
"In that case, doesn't Brother still support me abandoning my position?”
"What's the difference if we go to the capital and abandon it?”
When Li Tian heard the word " brother ", he was slightly taken aback.
However, it wasn't the time to be particular about titles, so Li Tian replied,"
"Since I've said so, I'll definitely find a way to make a name for myself after entering the capital!”
"Brother, do you know the great name of Liu Yao of Donglai?”
