I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Chapter 429 Throw away your helmet and armor, where to escape

Xiazhi County is located at the easternmost end of Jiangxia County, bordering Yangzhou.

At this moment, a long line of troops was slowly approaching from a distance.

The soldiers in the team all looked depressed, and their morale was extremely low.

Lu Su took a look and couldn't see the marginal team, sighed, and then walked into the dilapidated county town.

Jiangxia and Jiangdong have been fighting for years, and Xiazhi County has been devastated by the war. The only thing in the city that is considered intact is the county government.

Sun Liu's coalition forces had already occupied the county government office, and after cleaning it up, they provided it to Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and others for use.

In the lobby of the county government office.

A dilapidated map was laid out on a dilapidated desk.

Zhou Yu was talking with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others in a low voice. When he saw Lu Su walking in, he stopped talking and said softly,

"Zijing, how is the army?"

Lu Su shook his head and said with a tired face,
"I'm afraid it will take more than an hour to gather all the troops."

Everyone present couldn't help frowning, and their expressions were a little dignified.

In the raids on Jiangling and Chibi, the coalition forces were all defeated by Cao Jun.

The proud navy was completely destroyed.

There were originally 17 horses, but only [-] remained.

Zhou Yu and his party were forced to abandon the boat and go ashore, heading east along the road.

It's just a thousand miles away from Jiangxia County to Jianye.

Along the way, Cao Jun chased and killed them, and the entire army lacked food and supplies.

How easy is it to return to Jianye safely?
I don't know what happened to the master in Jianye?

Zhou Yu sighed, and suddenly coughed violently.

Ling Tong, who was at the side, paled in shock, hurried forward, and lightly beat his back,

"Captain, are you alright!"

After much difficulty, Zhou Yu stopped coughing, waved his hands, and pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile,

"I...it's fine!"

Although he said he was fine, his pale face cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

The naval forces were destroyed and decades of painstaking efforts were wasted. How could Zhou Yu feel better?

Back then, he was so angry by Cao Mao that he vomited blood, and the old disease caused by him also relapsed.

However, even the food and grass in the army were extremely short, so where did they go to find medicine to treat Zhou Yu's illness?
"The most important thing right now is to come up with a charter."

Zhou Yu took a sip of water and said in a deep voice.

The atmosphere in the lobby was dull.

Everyone looked at the map on the case table and said nothing.

Cao's army was in full swing, and the Yangtze River defense line operated by his own side was also easily destroyed.

Now that his men and horses are trapped in Xiazhi County, what rules can there be?
Those who can attend the military meeting are not fools.

Anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before Cao Mao dominates the world.

Liu Bei only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and sadness emerged from the bottom of his heart.

When Cao Mao attacked Xuzhou, he used gunpowder to blow up the city wall and captured himself, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The second brother Guan Yu was forced to seek refuge with Cao Mao for his own sake.

In the Battle of Runan, he and Yuan Shu were beaten to the ground by Cao Mao.

If it wasn't for the second younger brother Guan Yu who let him go because of his brother's affection, he might have been torn apart with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Cao is fighting for hegemony, and he wants to help Yuan Shao.

But it was Cao Mao again who sent troops from Hanoi to defeat Yuan Shao.

As for myself, I had no choice but to flee to Jingzhou in a hurry.

After finally recuperating and accumulating enough strength, he attacked all the way to the north, only a stone's throw away from Xudu.

But it was Cao Mao who appeared again, mercilessly smashing his dream to pieces!
Battle of Xiangyang, surprise attack on Jiangling, water battle in Chibi...

In this series of wars, anyone who faced Cao Mao was a disastrous defeat!

Liu Bei suddenly remembered the time when he joined Cao Cao to conquer Yuan Shu and faced Qiao Rui.

That can be regarded as Liu Bei, seeing Cao Mao for the first time.

At that time, he had an inexplicable feeling that Cao Mao would be his lifelong rival.

Unexpectedly, his premonition actually became a reality!

"Mr. Xuande? What do you think?"

Zhou Yu's soft question interrupted Liu Bei's recollection.

He collected himself, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart,
"What did the governor just say?"

"We intend to leave most of the troops here. We will only lead some elites to return to Jianye."

Zhou Yu repeated again,
"How do you feel?"

With a thought in his heart, Liu Bei understood Zhou Yu's intention.

Now that they lack food and grass, and have no horses and warships, it is unrealistic to bring all the horses back to Jianye!
The ideal is to gather the elite soldiers and drive them back quickly.

One can save food and grass.

Second, the remaining troops stayed in Xiazhi County, which could delay Cao Jun's pursuit.

Only in this way, the strength of the coalition forces will be weakened again.

Those soldiers who were abandoned could only wait to die.

But for now, this is the only way to go!

Liu Bei nodded and sighed,

"I agree."

"That's good!"

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he was still afraid that Liu Bei would come back to his hypocrisy.

He said in a low voice,

"Then everyone, go on your own, and set off in an hour!"

……

During the Chibi water battle, Huang Zu and his son Huang She sank into the river with the warship before they could escape.

Most of the troops in Jiangxia County also died on the river.

The remaining small part was incorporated into the Sun Liu coalition army.

After simple incorporation, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Liu Feng and others only left 5000 people.

Zhou Yu brought 1 people with him.

The rest of the troops were all thrown in Xiazhi County.

Not long after, Cao Jun, who was chasing him, rushed over.

Facing the pursuing enemy army, lacking in weapons, food and grass, the soldiers of the coalition army with low morale expressed their surrender one after another.

……

"Damn it, it was a step too late and let them run away again!"

Gan Ning hammered down the city wall bitterly.

"Xingba don't need to be depressed. According to the words of the lord, no matter how hard Liu Bei and Zhou Yu can escape, where can they escape?"

Zhao Yun said with a smile.

As soon as the Yangtze River defense line was broken by Cao Jun, the prefects of Wuling Jin Xuan, Changsha Prefect Han Xuan, Guiyang Prefect Zhao Fan, Lingling Prefect Liu Du, and the prefects of the four Jingnan counties all expressed their willingness to surrender.

Now the entire territory of Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Cao Jun.

Pang Tong also took advantage of the opportunity to send troops from Jiujiang County, all the way south, and took Lujiang County into his pocket.

Even if Zhou Yu and Liu Bei join Sun Quan smoothly, they will only be left with Wu County and Kuaiji County at most!

"What Zilong said is not bad."

Gan Ning nodded and said with a smile,
"Then let's hurry up and try to rendezvous with the lord as soon as possible!"

……

Wu County.

Sun Quan's old house.

"Jianye City was destroyed, General Lu Meng died in battle, and General Zhou Tai was captured..."

"Cao Jun attacked from inside and outside, and Ruxukou was destroyed. General Pan Zhang died in battle, and General Xu Sheng was captured..."

"Cao's army was victorious in the Chibi water battle, and the coalition fleet was wiped out. Governor Gongjin, Mr. Zijing, Duke Xuande and others have not heard from them..."

A series of bad news was read out from the mouth of the messenger, and Sun Quan was upset to hear it.

He slammed the water glass in his hand on the ground and roared,
"Get out, get out of here!"
