Seeing that the enemy army in front of him was coming all over the mountains, Zhuge Liang naturally would not be as brave as Guan and Zhang, sighed, and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, the matter has come to this, you can only retreat, the thief army is strong, and it is not appropriate to resist it." ” Liu Bei had no choice but to order a retreat, leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to the south in a hurry.
Before leaving, Zhuge Liang ordered all the flags to be left behind, and lanterns were all over the hillside to confuse the opponent and buy time for his own retreat.
Sure enough, Zhou Cang saw the firelight all over the mountain, and there were blue and red flags, thinking that the enemy army was still there, so he did not dare to rashly attack the mountain directly, but moved forward step by step.
By the time Zhou Cang led the crowd to kill the Quewei Slope, the Jingzhou army was already several miles away, leaving only a few empty camps, as well as flags and lanterns all over the mountain.
At that time, it was already dark, and Zhou Cang was ordered by Zhang Liao to only attack Queweipo, and he was not allowed to pursue, so he had to return in a huff.
By the time the soldiers and horses on the periphery of the three roads returned to Xinye City, the enemy troops in the city had been cleared, Jian Yong had also died in the chaos, and many houses in the city were burned down, but most of the buildings were finally saved.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao led the soldiers into Xinye City, fortified all around, and sent reconnaissance cavalry, while the rest of the soldiers looked for private houses to make fires and cook, and made a decision after Gongsun Bai's Chinese army arrived.
Only then did Zhao Yun let Wen Chou lead the sergeants to block the embankment of the river, let the water of the White River go down, and the water rushed all night and finally returned to its normal state.
At noon the next day, more than 20,000 cavalry of the Chinese army surrounded Gongsun Bai Hao and entered Xinye City.
Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Sima Yi and others couldn't help but admire the five-body throw to the ground when they learned that Zhuge Liang had really arranged the water and fire plan and ambushes from all walks of life as the Son of Heaven expected.
Although the four of them have always been scheming, it is absolutely impossible for Zhuge Liang to hide from the four of them, in fact, Zhuge Liang only dared to set up this plan when he heard that the four-person think tank was in the Chinese army and wanted to make a time difference to earn the former army.
However, when Emperor Yan Gongsun Bai set off from Nanyang, when the army was still hundreds of miles away from Xinye, he was able to know the arrangement of the famous Mr.
Wolong well, and the four-person think tank thought that no one could do this.
Gongsun Bai listened to the praise of the four strategists with an average intelligence of 985, looked at their faces full of respect, and showed an unfathomable and profound smile on their faces, and his heart was already happy.
"Nonsense, if you can know the layout of a strategist with an intelligence of 100 miles from hundreds of miles away, then wouldn't you be a poor little Liangliang with an explosive intelligence, it's not that your strategy is not good enough, but I have read a book that you have never read."
However, when Gongsun Bai heard that the people in Xinye City were indeed coerced by Liu Bei, he couldn't help but be furious: "Liu Bei, how dare you coerce the people of me, my people can live and work in peace and contentment in the city, how can they be displaced and quickly recovered."
At that moment, Gongsun Bering Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Yan Liang led 30,000 iron horsemen to immediately go south and recover the people in Xinye City.
"This battle may be even more difficult than the previous battle, your task is to bring all the people back safely, not to hurt them, to bring more dry food and water, many people run in a hurry without food, do not starve them, old and weak, women and children, and if they can't run, let them ride their horses.
Bring more wound medicine to temporarily treat the wounded.
Those who kill the people without permission and injure the people by mistake should also be deducted from military merits."
This was an unprecedented battle, even an extremely demanding battle, but the soldiers did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
The battle of Jingzhou was very different from before, and the opponents encountered before such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Ma Chao and others did not have a good reputation among the people or scholars, but Liu Bei was different.
Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness are famous in the entire south of the Yangtze River, otherwise the people of Xinye would not listen to him and follow the whole city.
To seize Jingzhou, it is necessary not only to occupy it militarily, but also to occupy it in the hearts of the people, so that this land can be truly governed smoothly, so this war of recovery of the people is very important.
The northern part of Dangyang County.
In the first battle of Xinye, the Jingzhou army lost nearly 10,000 people, and Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others collected more than 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and fled to Fancheng in the south.
Behind them, the mountains were full of the people of Xinye, there were thirty or forty thousand people, following behind the army, hurrying and hurrying, crying all over the field.
Some of these poor people are pushing carts, some are carrying burdens, some are carrying burdens, some are holding children, their faces are covered with dust, their hair is unkempt, and many of them are barefoot.
Fortunately, it was early summer at this time, the weather was warm, and the people slept in the open for two nights last night, so it was not too cold, but there were still many people who had a cold and their faces were pale.
The more important thing is that the people are in a hurry, the people do not have much food, and Fancheng is hundreds of miles away, so it is natural to save food, most of the people have only eaten two meals in the past two days, and some people have only eaten a few mouthfuls of dry food, and they are dizzy with hunger.
That's all, the most frightening thing is the pursuit of the legendary murderous Yan army.
According to Sun Gan's list book, Emperor Yan not only slaughtered the city at every turn, killing people like hemp, but also liked to castrate people's lower bodies.
In order to deter aliens and take revenge on the cruelty of aliens to the Han people, Gongsun Bai made a series of violent acts against aliens.
Sun Gan, who was as cunning as a fox, only described Gongsun Bai's atrocities, but deliberately concealed the fact that Gongsun Bai's atrocities were only aimed at foreign invaders, which made all the people scatter and regard Emperor Yan and the Yan army as demons and monsters.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the cavalry of the Yan army is coming" Several cavalry Jingzhou army scouts galloped over, shouting while running, shocking the people to cry for their fathers and mothers, fleeing for their lives, mourning all over the field for a while, as if the end of the world was coming.
The scouts flew through the heavy people, rushed straight to the front of the army, and bowed down in front of Liu Bei: "Lord Qi, Yan army Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Wen Chou led 30,000 cavalry to pursue, and they are fifty miles away."
Everyone was in an uproar, and Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Guan Zhang and other main generals changed their faces.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Lord, if you go down at this speed, I'm afraid that in less than two hours, you will be caught up by the cavalry of the Yan Army, and I also ask the Lord to give the order to speed up the march."
Liu Bei's face was full of sadness, he looked back at the dense Xinye people behind him, and said bitterly: "The people trust me Liu Bei, and I drag my family with me, how can I bear to abandon it."
Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "The matter is urgent, and I ask the lord to make a decision immediately" Liu Bei shook his head resolutely and said: "The people don't abandon me, I should live and die with the people, otherwise let tens of thousands of people in Xinye fall into the hands of Yan thieves, how can I bear it?"
Zhuge Liang's heart seemed to be completely collapsed, so he had to get close to Liu Bei's Lu Ma and said in a low voice: "Lord, now that it is a matter of life and death, 30,000 iron horsemen are rushing in, and we will inevitably be wiped out."
As for the people, others don't know Gongsun Bai, don't the lord still know that Gongsun Bai couldn't even bear to kill the Yellow Turban Army against him back then, not to mention that the unarmed people quickly ordered to speed up the march, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late. ” Liu Bei was shocked to realize that he was too deep in the play and almost fell into the play, although he was unhappy with what Zhuge Liang said, he had to admit this fact in his heart, the demonization of Gongsun Bai could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive himself after all.
"Let's go, I, Liu Bei, after all, I'm sorry for the tens of thousands of people in Xinye" Liu Bei's face was full of pain, slowly turned the horse's head, bowed respectfully three times behind him, and then drew his sword: "Speed up the march, day and night, be sure to arrive at Fancheng before dawn tomorrow."
As soon as the order sounded, more than 20,000 Jingzhou troops immediately sped up and rushed southward, soon leaving behind the people who were dragging their families behind.
Seeing that the Jingzhou army was gone, the tens of thousands of people behind him cried even more, as if they were mourning, and it seemed that they were about to die under the butcher's knife of the Yan army.

"Envoy, don't abandon us" Regardless of the cries and pleadings of the people, the Jingzhou army had finally disappeared into the sky, leaving only a billowing cloud of smoke and dust.
Thundered After more than an hour, the sound of the horse's hooves finally rolled in, and the people turned back in horror, only to see a silver wave like the roar of the sea, and in the blink of an eye, the whole field of vision was filled.
"Run, Yan Jun is coming" "Those damn devils came on war horses, how could they run, forget it when they die" The people cried and screamed, desperately rushing forward, and a few people gave up directly, simply sitting on the ground and gnawing on dry food, waiting to die.
The 30,000 iron horsemen arrived behind the people in a blink of an eye, and then with Zhao Yun's order, they all stopped.
The few people who fell last, most of them were disabled, simply gave up running, just stunned, looking at the black and oppressive wolf-like cavalry in front of them in horror, and looking at the long knife like a forest shining with cold light.
At this moment, they felt that death was so close to them.
Zhao Yun looked at the people who were desperately fleeing not far ahead, and said in a loud voice: "Get off the horse, lead the horse to run before the people, and be careful not to let the horse step on the people." ” Whew Tens of thousands of troops immediately turned over and dismounted, and one person led the two horses, followed behind Zhao Yun, rolling forward, and rushed towards the frightened people.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a little lame in her left leg, rushed all the way, and could not support it, so she simply gave up her escape, and was looking at the army that was surging like rolling waves with a frightened face, and at the scabbard they hung on their waists.
In her arms, she was still holding a baby girl, because she couldn't run fast with the baby girl, the baby's parents gave up the baby directly when they were dying.
This little guy is also well-behaved, and after being held in her arms, he doesn't cry or make trouble, but just stares at her with a pair of dripping eyes.
"I'm going to die, but it's okay, anyway, I can't get married if I'm lame, my father and mother dislike you, it's just a pity for you, you're so young, you have to die with me" She looked at the lovely baby girl in her arms and thought sadly.
The white-robed general who walked in front of her quickly approached her, and then stopped in front of her.
She reached out to cover the baby girl's eyes, and then slowly closed her eyes, quietly waiting for the arrival of death, with a quiet smile on her face.
"It just hurts," she thought to herself.
However, she didn't wait for the cold blade to hear a very magnetic voice: "Your child is cute" This is not the voice of the demon king, this is the voice of the warm spring, she can hear it.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw a majestic and handsome face, the expression in her eyes was full of concern, full of softness, and there was no hint of violence.
"It's not mine, someone else threw it."
She replied dumbfounded.
The man smiled, warmly, and made a gesture she didn't expect.
He untied his cloak and slowly draped it over her and the baby.
Then he untied a water bladder and a cloth bag from the tall white horse, and handed it to her: "Drink some water and eat something." ” Still in a trance, she reached out from under her cloak and took the water and the bag of dry food.
The man laughed, led the horse and continued to run forward, then suddenly turned back and asked, "Why don't you run?"
She replied truthfully, "My leg is lame and I can't run." ” The man smiled: "It's okay, I can ask Your Majesty to treat your leg, you are a very beautiful girl" She stared blankly at the man's back, and then turned back to the other people who had given up their escapes, and saw that those people were indeed alive and well, no one had fallen, and there was no blood.
She lowered her head, looked at the baby girl in her arms, and smiled lowly: "We won't die, they are not bad people, I dare to guarantee that there is, do you say that my sister is really beautiful" to be continued
