Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

He wants to make Liu Bei feel desperate. Even if the soldiers and horses in Nanyang County don't attack, Liu Bei can't defend Hanzhong.

Liu Bei and Zhang Ren fought back and forth for five or six days at Sword Pavilion, Zhang Ren did not capture Jiange, and Liu Bei did not repel Zhang Ren, let alone take down Jiameng Pass.

Liu Bei is very anxious now, if he doesn't think of a way to take Jiameng Pass down, he may be trapped to death in Hanzhong.

"Report!"

A small soldier hurriedly came to Liu Bei's big tent, Liu Bei became inexplicably flustered, could it be that something happened in Hanzhong?

"whats the matter?"

"Cao Shuo personally led an army of 20 to Sanguan, and went down to Dazhai on the south side of Sanguan."

Sanguan south?

Isn't that your own territory?

Liu Bei panicked.

Sun Qian said, "Your Majesty, why don't we go back to Hanzhong?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, and now it doesn't make much sense to go back, he can't hold Hanzhong.

Cao Shuo's 20 army is not Liu Zhang's 20 army. With the power of Cao Shuo's cavalry and siege equipment, let alone 20, even [-], he can't hold it.

Going back by yourself now is tantamount to sending yourself to death.

But if you don't go back, where can you go?

Staying in Jiange can only wait for death, he must find a way out for himself.

Liu Bei stared at the map in a daze. Did he go to Yizhou to attach himself to Liu Zhang?

I don't know if Liu Zhang will take him in. If he doesn't take him in, he may lose his life.

Go to Xiliang?Ma Teng probably didn't want to see him.

Liu Bei looked around, and he could only go to the territory of the Qiang people, but if he went to the Qiang people, he would have to give up a lot of things, and the civilians could not take them away.

"Sun Qian, go and inform Yun Chang to lead the army to withdraw to Hanzhong, and then assist Zhao Yan and Du Xi to transport all the food, weapons, and money to Jiange."

Sun Qian asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Do you want to give up Hanzhong?"

"The people of Hanzhong have followed me since Yuzhou. I can't bring them a stable life, so let them stay in Hanzhong. As long as I leave Hanzhong, Cao Shuo will not treat them badly."

"My lord, where are we going?"

Jian Yong asked with a puzzled face.

Are you going to the Kingdom of Shu?

But they have fought with Shu for so long and killed so many soldiers, how could they take us in?

"Go to the land of the Qiang people!"

"Be careful, Your Majesty, the living conditions there are extremely harsh."

"I have already figured it out. The Xiongnu and Xianbei can rely on nomadic life and survive on the prairie for hundreds of years. We can also deal with Cao Shuo according to this method. When we grow stronger, we will come back to take the Central Plains." .”

Liu Bei did what he said, and he had already seen clearly that defending the city was not Cao Shuo's opponent at all, and he could only fight guerrilla with him.

Qiang is the best choice. When he has a million cavalry, he will fight Cao Shuo again.

Wei Yan, who was patrolling the Jiange, saw Liu Bei's Chinese army packing their bags, hurried to Liu Bei's tent, and asked, "My lord, are you going to retreat?"

Liu Bei explained: "Cao Shuo's 20 troops stationed in Sanguan, our army is impossible to resist, rather than let the people of Hanzhong suffer, we should withdraw from Hanzhong, leaving a way for the people to survive."

"Where is my lord going?"

"Qiang!"

Qiang?

Wei Yan was stunned.

Liu Bei would actually choose a territory of a foreign race, so why not go to the Kingdom of Shu?

Or take refuge with Cao Shuo. After all, he has the habit of treating prisoners preferentially, and he rarely kills soldiers.

"My lord, the Qiang people are a barren land, isn't it inappropriate for us to go there?"

Liu Bei explained: "Only by becoming a nomad can we deal with Cao Shuo."

Wei Yan felt a little uneasy about going to the barren land of the Qiang people, what kind of future would he have.

Since Liu Bei wants to go to the Qiang people, there is no need for him to accompany him.

"My lord, the general doesn't want to go to the Qiang tribe!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and persuaded: "Master Wen, we will come back."

Wei Yan sighed: "The final general doesn't want to be chased back and forth like a bereaved dog."

"You really don't want to go?" Liu Bei frowned and stared at Wei Yan.

"The final general will no longer be able to follow the lord to conquer the north and south."

"Then where are you going?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. If my lord really wants to go, I can enter the Guanghan vassal state from the Jiange. I will help my lord stop the pursuers here."

Wei Yan believes that many soldiers in the army will definitely choose to stay. After all, the living conditions of the Qiang people are too harsh, and they may not be used to it.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Chief Wen to take care of me. I won't blame you whether you say you're going to join Cao Shuo, Liu Zhang, or Ma Teng."

Du Xi and Zhao Yan in Hanzhong were stunned when they received Liu Bei's order.

They didn't even touch Cao Shuo, and they chose to retreat directly. Hanzhong, which they have been running for almost two years, is really a bit reluctant to let it go to others like this.

"Old Du, are you going with me?"

"how about you?"

The two were silent, do you want to follow Liu Bei?

The Qiang people are not something ordinary people can bear.

Zhao Yan sighed and said, "My lord treats me well, so I'd better go along and treat it as an exotic experience."

Du Xi said: "Then you go, I wish you all the best in the Qiang people."

Two days later, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Liao Hua, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Zhao Yan, Fu Shiren, Liu Pi, and [-] soldiers from Jiange into the Guanghan vassal state.

Chapter 523 Zhao Yun defeated Wei Yan with a three-way drum

Cao Shuo led the army all the way to the city of Hanzhong without hindrance, wondering why the Hanzhong soldiers were so cowardly and did not resist.

His army is completely useless, and the soldiers in Hanzhong are not as bloody as Yuan Shu's soldiers.

However, when he saw a group of cavalry rushing from the east, he was even more surprised.

Isn't Zhao Yun confronting Guan Yu?How come here?

"See Your Majesty!"

Together with Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan, Zhao Yun came to Cao Shuo's tent.

Cao Shuo asked suspiciously, "Zilong, where is Guan Yu?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Guan Yu has escaped!"

"what?"

Cao Shuo was surprised that Guan Yu escaped. This is not in line with Guan Yu's character. How could Guan Yu be a deserter?

"Report, Du Xi, the guard of Hanzhong City, asks to see you!"

Du attack?Liu Bei's dog-headed military division?

Cao Shuo did not expect that Du Xijin would come out to negotiate with him in person.

"Let him in!"

After a while, a young man was brought in.

Cao Shuo asked, "What are you doing here, where is Liu Bei?"

Du Xi said: "The King of Hanzhong left Hanzhong with his cronies. At present, there are less than [-] soldiers left in Hanzhong. I would like to lead the army and people of Hanzhong to join His Majesty."

Cao Shuo was dumbfounded!

What's going on.

How could Liu Bei escape without a fight?

"Where did Liu Bei go?"

"The King of Hanzhong and General Guan Yu led [-] soldiers and escorted the family to the Qiang people!"

Qiang?

Everyone was surprised, what did Liu Bei do in that barren land?

Do you think there is no future in becoming king in the Central Plains, and then go to be a local emperor?

In desperation, Cao Shuo had no choice but to accept Hanzhong. Is it so difficult for this spineless Liu Bei to rely on himself?

Originally, I wanted to find someone who could talk to Cao Cao, but this guy actually went to Tibet.

Just go, I don't believe that you can escape for a lifetime, and when I destroy Shu, I will let you know that even if you run to Rome, I have to catch you.

When Cao Shuo came to Hanzhong City, he immediately issued a notice telling Liu Bei to send all the new recruits back home to farm. Hanzhong is rich in products and can be used as a granary in the northwest. There is no need to transport grain and grass from Qingzhou and Xuzhou in the future. .

Cao Shuo called Du Xi over and asked, "Is the Jiange in Zhang Ren's hands now, or is it unattended?"

Du Xi replied: "Currently in Wei Yan's hands, he doesn't want to follow Liu Bei to the Qiang land, and he hasn't made a statement about who he wants to take refuge in."

Cao Shuo frowned, was he waiting for him?

"Zilong, go to Jiange with Du Xi and persuade Wei Yan to surrender!"

"promise!"

Zhao Yun led his [-] White Dragon Legion to the Jiange Pass. Seeing that the size of the Jiange was not inferior to Hulao Pass, Zhao Yun was amazed.

A few days ago, Liu Bei captured Jiange, what price did he pay.

"General Wei Yan, please come out and answer!"

Wei Yan saw that the army outside the city was fighting the flag of Cao Zi, so he led hundreds of cavalry out of the pass.

Zhao Yun shouted loudly: "General Wei, please come here unharmed!"

He and Wei Yan knew each other, so there was no need for the two of them to announce their names.

Wei Yan said respectfully: "General Zhao, this is already a land without an owner. I plan to compete with General Zhao. If General Zhao can defeat me at the Santong Drum, I will lead the army to join Wei. If General Zhao If you can't win me at Santong Drumba, I will abandon this Jiange and join the Kingdom of Shu."

Zhao Yun looked at Wei Yan in surprise. The three-way drum is equivalent to half a quarter of an hour. Is this Wei Yan testing himself?

It was a bit difficult to defeat Wei Yan within half a quarter of an hour.

For Zhao Yun, this is not a small difficulty. If it is just to defeat Wei Yan, he has this confidence, but defeating him in such a short period of time is not certain.

He had to think of a perfect strategy. He had also heard of Wei Yan's abilities. He was a good general.

"Since General Wei thinks highly of Zhao so much, I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Zhao Yun took off his armor, threw away his helmet, and rode to Wei Yan's side.

If he wanted to win, he couldn't charge forward on horseback, otherwise it would only be a waste of time, and he had to fight Wei Yan in close combat.

"Drumming!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"kill!"

Zhao Yun yelled, and stabbed at Wei Yan fiercely. Wei Yan was not to be outdone, raised the big knife in his hand, and went up to meet him.

The spear in Zhao Yun's hand suddenly changed its attack route. If he wanted to win, he had to use his housekeeping skills. As for the warm-up action, he didn't need it at all.

At the moment when Wei Yan raised his sword to block, Zhao Yun directly used his self-created skill, the Seven Detecting Pan Snake Spear.

"Swipe!"

The gentian gun was like a spirit snake in Zhao Yun's hands, changing more than a dozen moves in an instant.
