Linzi City The imperial capital of Qi State is located.
Although it is an imperial capital, there are no more people coming and going in the past, and it looks a bit depressed.
There are still people walking around on the streets, but there is no joy on their faces.
Moreover, on the street, from time to time, a soldier holding a spear would pass by.
There were not many people, but it gave people a feeling that a storm was coming.
What's more, the city gates that used to go in and out are now very strictly inspected.
Every citizen who comes in and out must be inspected several times before they can pass.
Anyone with suspicious signs will be arrested.
Because of this.
The number of people entering and leaving the city gate has also decreased a lot.
If there is nothing to do, they will not go to the city gate. caused this scene.
That's because the Han army attacking Qingzhou is gradually approaching Linzi.
After Liu Bei fled and returned to Linzi.
He then strengthened the security in the city and mobilized all the surrounding garrisons to guard Linzi, preparing for a decisive battle with the Han army in Linzi.
It's said to be a fight to the death.
That is just to prepare to defend Linzi and wait for the right time to counterattack.
After losing several battles, and having an army of 500,000 in Xuzhou, all of which were defeated by the Han army, Liu Bei no longer had the confidence to confront Liu Qi head-on.
Coupled with low morale, there was even less desire to fight.
He still had hope in his heart, waiting for news from both sides of Wei and Wu. , As long as the war on both sides changes and puts the Han army in a tight spot, then it will be their opportunity to counterattack.
At the same time, they will have a great chance to regain their lost territory.
If Liu Qi cannot hold on, then it is still possible to expand his territory.
Because there is still such hope.
Liu Bei was not willing to give up resistance.
He only needed to hold on until the situation changed, and he was not ready to give up his ambitions.
What's more, there are now 200,000 defenders gathered in the city.
Although they are just temporarily put together and commanded together, they are just for a tight defense, which is enough.
If you go out of the city to fight, you will have no confidence.
After all, Xuzhou's defeat made him no longer willing to confront the Han army head-on, so he could only deal with it in a roundabout way.
Just defend, not prepare to attack.
The huge palace is brightly lit in the dark.
Moreover, the defense was also very tight.
There were many soldiers standing upright everywhere, holding spears in their hands, and they looked very energetic.
From time to time, a team of more than ten people, holding spears in hand, would pass by and patrol.
In the palaces and pavilions, there were many maids and eunuchs walking around.
In the imperial study room.
Liu Bei was now wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, with an angry look on his face and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
And below.
There were people standing on the left and right sides, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Shu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Guan Ping, Mi Fang, Mi Zhu and others.
Those gathered here are all the backbone figures of Qi State today.
"First Xuzhou City, then Taishan City, and now even Kong Rong, the governor of Donghai, is on Liu Qi's side.
Why do I feel sorry for them?
Why do they want to betray me?"
Liu Bei shouted angrily.
To the end.
Liu Bei angrily picked up the teacup on the table in front of him and threw it down.

There was a bang.
The teacup shattered in response, being thrown into pieces.
The people standing on the left and right below looked intently and ignored the teacup that Liu Bei broke.
They all knew why Liu Bei was so angry.
Because I received the message before.
Kong Rong, who mobilized 50,000 troops from the East China Sea to support him, was stopped by Liu Qi when he arrived at the North Sea.
Finally, Kong Rong led his army to retreat without a fight and retreated towards the East China Sea.
Just as Liu Bei said.
First, Chen Deng, the governor of Xuzhou City who was stationed in Xuzhou City, surrendered without a fight.
Later, Chen Deng persuaded the general of Taishan City to surrender without a fight.
Surrenders in two places.
It made people in the army panic.
Now, although Kong Rong did not announce that he would join Liu Qi's army, he withdrew because of Liu Qi's persuasion, which is no different from joining Liu Qi's team.
It's just that they didn't follow Liu Qi to attack Linzi like Chen Deng and the Taishan City defender.
Regarding Liu Bei's question.
They simply don't know how to answer.
Look at the people who lowered their heads.
Liu Bei's mood became even worse and he shouted: "Tell me why, maybe I can't compare to Liu Qi?"
Hear the words.
There was also a flash of light in the eyes of everyone who lowered their heads, which was fleeting.
As for why this is the case, they know it very well, and Liu Bei himself does not know it, but they can also understand that Liu Bei will not carry this one on his back, then.
This question is an unsolvable one.
Silence is the most suitable.
Because of this problem, I don’t know how to answer it at all.
Look at everyone's performance.
Liu Bei didn't know what everyone was thinking, but he didn't have any solution.
After all, he knew very well in his heart, but he didn't think it was his fault.
That was all the fault of Chen Deng and others.
There must have been some dissatisfaction early on, which led to what happened now.
You must know that Chen Deng did not make any suggestions for him except in Xuzhou City when he joined his army.
However, when he joined Liu Qi's army, he made suggestions for Liu Qi and personally went to Taishan City to persuade him to surrender.
This also shows that Chen Deng did not really work for him.
He scanned the crowd.
Liu Bei also felt a little tired.
After receiving the news that Kong Rong led the army to withdraw to the East China Sea, he couldn't help but thought of gathering everyone to vent his anger.
I don't think it can solve the problem at hand.
The matter has become a foregone conclusion and there is no way to save it.
Moreover, he understood that Liu Qi personally led 30,000 troops to intercept Kong Rong, and the army led by Kong Rong would not have a chance to come to support.
He didn't think that Kong Rong could defeat Liu Qi with these 50,000 troops.
Otherwise, he wouldn't feel so powerless now.
What he cared about was what Liu Qi discussed with Kong Rong, which would allow Kong Rong to lead his troops to withdraw without fighting.
You must know that Kong Rong and Chen Deng, as well as the generals of Taishan City, are very different.
If there is not enough reason, even if they cannot win, they will not leave so easily.
Liu Bei rubbed his head and said: "Everyone, go down.
From tomorrow onwards, the city gates will be closed and no one will be allowed in or out until the Han army retreats."

Vent your emotions.
Then he ordered everyone.
Now that the Han army is coming, the city gate can no longer be opened.
After all, he was ready to wait for the opportunity.
"promise" Everyone also bowed their hands and retreated one after another.
Facing the current situation, they don't know how to persuade, and staying there will have no effect
