    Ji County.  ¡¾r />

    "Report~~" The soldiers rushed in, "Your Majesty, we are reporting urgently from the south. The Chu army's light cavalry has come out and is heading towards Jixian. The forward has passed Liangxiang.

    Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this urgent report.

    Liangxiang is located in the middle of Zhuoxian County and Jicheng, only a few dozen miles away from Jicheng. If the Chu army dispatches light cavalry, it will only take half a day to reach Jicheng.

    Liu Bei was very aware of the current situation. Yan Liang sent 10,000 cavalry first, not to surround Jicheng, but to block his way of escaping from the city.

    "Prime Minister, I should" As usual, when Liu Bei encountered difficulties, he subconsciously wanted to ask Zhuge Liang for help.

    Before he could finish his words, Liu Bei stopped abruptly and remembered with embarrassment that Zhuge Liang had already become a prisoner of the Chu army.

    "What should I do? What should I do?"

    Liu Bei was so anxious that he had no choice but to summon the remaining civil and military forces to discuss the matter.

    After a while, several civil servants and generals came to pay their respects in a deserted manner.

    Sun Qian¡¯s military skills were inferior to that of Sun Qian, and his only generals were Hao Zhao and Chen Dao. Another military general, Han Meng, had been sent to Dai County to recruit troops.

    Thinking about the glory days when talents were at their peak, now, there are only these three available people left around him. Liu Bei suddenly felt lonely in his heart.

    "The Chu army's light cavalry has come out, and it will take less than half a day to reach Jixian County. Now the Han Dynasty has reached a critical point. How should I deal with it, dear friends, you can speak freely." Liu Bei looked around the crowd and said with a heavy expression.

    "Your Majesty, I think we might as well avoid going to Daijun, which is connected to Bingzhou. We may rely on Sima Yi's troops and fight against the Yan bandits again," Chen Dao added.

    Sima Yi?

    Liu Bei then remembered that Sima Yi still occupied Bingzhou and still had tens of thousands of powerful soldiers under his command.  If we get these tens of thousands of soldiers, we can indeed fight against the danger of annexing the state.

    But Liu Bei¡¯s gloomy face immediately gritted his teeth, full of hatred.

    Sima Yi was named Hanchen, but in fact he had already dominated one side and would not obey Liu Bei's orders. Otherwise, he would not sit back and watch the fight between tigers.  Seeing that he was losing troops and territory, he did not send troops to help.

    "Sima Yi's ambitions and his desire to treason and self-reliance have become obvious. If your Majesty avoids going to Dai County, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to recruit Sima Yi's help, but I will fall into the hands of that Sima Yi, just like Xiandi back then, and become his  puppet."

    Sun Qian spoke in a deep voice and opposed Chen Dao's plan on the spot.

    Liu Bei's liver trembled and he shuddered when he mentioned Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie.  He immediately gave up the idea of ??relying on Sima Yi.

    Thinking about Liu Xie¡¯s life as a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao for more than ten years, Liu Bei would rather go to the grasslands outside the Great Wall to pick up horse manure than become a puppet.

    No need to think too much.  Liu Bei rejected Chen Dao's proposal on the spot.

    Then Sun Qian took advantage of the situation and said: "In my opinion, Your Majesty would rather lead the existing troops, abandon Jixian, and retreat directly to Changli County. Join forces with the Goguryeo people and attack from the east and west. In one fell swoop, Liaodong will be leveled and seize it as a new foundation.  "

    Sun Qian's words lifted Liu Bei's spirits, as if he suddenly saw hope in despair.

    "Liaodong has the danger of the Liao River, and the land is far away and dangerous. If we can capture it and rely on the help of the Goguryeo people, we can indeed achieve something."

    "Moreover, the Chu army's foundation in Liaodong is basically unstable. If he conquers it himself, he may not be able to win it.

    "The Goguryeo people have been coveting Liaodong for a long time, and they may not sincerely cooperate with us. Moreover, Lu Meng is very resourceful. With the current strength of our army, even if we join forces with Goguryeo, we may not be able to win Liaodong. In my opinion, it is better to defend Jixian.  Waiting for the time to change.¡±

    Hao Zhao opposed withdrawing eastward and insisted on sticking to Jixian County.

    "Liyang, Yecheng, and even Yijing cannot be defended. How can a mere Jicheng withstand Chu's siege from all sides? General Hao, stop kidding." Sun Qian said sarcastically.

    Hao Zhao said boldly: "The previous cities were lost because of their inability to defend them. If your majesty can give me the full responsibility to defend the city, let alone Chu's army of more than 200,000 troops. Even if he has a million troops, I will definitely be able to defend the city."  Keep the city intact."

    Hao Zhao was extremely confident, patting his chest and boasting about Haikou.

    Hao Zhao is young, energetic and courageous, but Liu Bei does not have the courage to put all his wealth and life on this young general.

    Regarding Hao Zhao¡¯s proposal, Liu Bei was silent and did not express his position for a long time.

    After a long time, Liu Bei sighed, "It is too risky to hold on to Jicheng. Once we fail, the Han Dynasty will be destroyed. It is better to retreat eastward to Changli, seize Liaodong as our home, and make a comeback."Come be more prudent.  "

    "Your Majesty"

    "No need to say any more, let's just make this decision. Let's prepare quickly and leave the city in an hour. We must leave the city before the Chu cavalry arrives." Liu Bei made a decisive decision to abandon the city and retreat eastward.

    Hao Zhao had no choice but to sigh secretly.

    At this moment, a soldier rushed into the hall and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. A Chu army cavalry appeared in the southeast, only a few miles away from Jicheng."

    "What!" Liu Bei was shocked and almost fell down from the couch, "Didn't the Chu army just pass through Liangxiang? How could they reach Jicheng so quickly? How is this possible?"

    After asking about it, I found out that the Chu army was divided into two groups, one taking the Liangxiang Avenue and the other taking the Northeast Road.

    Liu Bei then realized with horror that Yan Liang had expected that he might abandon Jicheng and flee, so he divided his troops into two groups to intercept him.

    The arrival of the Chu army immediately plunged Jicheng into an unprecedented panic.

    Liu Bei didn't even have time to issue the decree to abandon the city, and he didn't even care about his wife and children. He immediately rode out of the city and ran towards the northeast.

    Before leaving, Liu Bei ordered Hao Zhao to lead 20,000 troops to defend Jicheng.

    Chen Dao and Sun Qian led 20,000 troops and horses, hurriedly left the city, and followed Liu Bei to escape in embarrassment.

    Not long after Liu Bei left the city, Wen Chou led 10,000 cavalry and killed the Han army who had just escaped from the city, killing nearly 10,000 people.

    Liu Bei did not look back and ran away. Since there was no family to drag him down, Liu Bei escaped very quickly this time. He ran for more than fifty miles and fled to Yuyang in one breath.

    Wen Chou didn't know that Liu Bei had abandoned his wife and children and fled. Because Yan Liang's order was only to cut off Jicheng, he retreated his troops after chasing him for more than thirty miles.

    Not long.  Zhao Yun's 10,000 light cavalry also rushed to Jicheng with the army and joined forces with Wen Chou.

    Although the 20,000 light cavalry regiment failed to completely encircle Jixian, they patrolled around the city and immediately intercepted and killed anyone who wanted to leave Jixian.

    With the isolation of Jicheng completed, Wen Chou ordered his scout Pegasus to go south to report the news to Yan Liang.

    At this time, Yan Liang had already moved from Liangxiang to the city.  More than 200,000 troops marched towards Jicheng in a mighty manner. The army stretching north and south could not be seen to the end.

    At dusk that day, Yan Liang's army advanced to the foot of Jicheng, and an army of 200,000 troops marched down the stronghold from all sides.  Jicheng was completely surrounded.

    At this time, by capturing enemy soldiers, Yan Liang learned that Liu Bei had abandoned his wife and children and left the city in a hurry. Before leaving, he left a message, ordering Hao Zhao to lead 10,000 troops to defend Jicheng.

    "We were still a step too late. We let Liu Bei escape again." Fazheng sighed.

    Yan Liang snorted coldly: "Liu Bei's escape skills are unmatched by anyone in the world. It's expected that he won't be caught this time."

    "However, being able to capture Liu Bei's wife and children is a big gain." Yan Liang changed the topic, and a sinister sneer quietly passed through the corner of his mouth.

    I heard that Liu Bei¡¯s queen, Liu Shi, was born with a beautiful face.  Bu Dai fascinated Yuan Shao, and even Liu Bei was fascinated by him.

    Yan Liang wanted to take a look.  What kind of seductive skills does this Liu have?

    "Liu Bei left Hao Zhao to defend the city. He was obviously afraid of being pursued by our army, so he used Hao Zhao as an abandoned son to delay our army." Pang Tongyi saw through Liu Bei's intentions.

    Everyone nodded one after another, feeling ashamed of Liu Bei's insidious methods.

    At this time, Wen Chou said with emotion: "Your Majesty, Hao Zhao is just a yellow-haired boy with no reputation. I ask your Majesty to order the city to be surrounded on all sides. I will capture Jicheng in three days."

    All the generals looked down on Hao Zhao, and they all asked for a battle passionately.

    Yan Liang was not in a hurry to order an attack on the city, and he did not despise Hao Zhao at all.

    In the past, Hao Zhao once defended Chencang with more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and withstood the attack of Zhuge Liang's 60,000 troops. This man's ability to defend the city is really extraordinary.

    Yan Liang admired Hao Zhao's ability to defend the city, but this did not mean that he was afraid of Hao Zhao, but that he admired such a good general and wanted to take him under his command.

    Therefore, Yan Liang was not in a hurry to attack the city, but wrote a letter and sent people to Jicheng to recruit Hao Zhao.

    At this time, there was panic in Jicheng.

    When the Han people in the city heard that the Chu army was coming, they were so frightened that they closed their doors. Everyone was terrified, fearing that if the Chu army besieged the city for a long time, they would encounter the tragic experience of Yecheng and the Li people.

    There was even more chaos in the palace.

    Until the Chu army¡¯s siege was completed?, Liu and Chen found out that Liu Bei had abandoned them and escaped alone.

    The two girls were frightened, in pain, and in a state of confusion. The other concubines and maids in the palace were also so frightened that they hugged each other and cried, fearing that after the city was broken, they would be ravaged by the Chu army.

    Faced with such panic, Hao Zhao sent troops to defend the city, while panicking that the emperor was not abandoning Jixian, but was going to Wuhuan to mobilize reinforcements.

    At the same time, Hao Zhao also used thunderous means to kill many people in a row to suppress the chaotic situation in the city.

    Hao Zhao relied on his outstanding abilities to finally control the situation.

    At this time, Queen Liu and Concubine Chen in the palace kept sending people to ask where Liu Bei had gone, and asked him to send troops to the palace to strengthen the defense.

    "It's not enough to defend the city, how can we divide our troops to protect you women." Hao Zhao snorted coldly, turning a blind eye to the wishes of the two empresses.

    Climbing to the south gate, Hao Zhaoyuan looked at the dark Chu camp, frowning deeply, and the confidence in his heart had quietly been compromised.

    "If the emperor doesn't leave, I still have full confidence in holding on with 40,000 troops and horses. It's a pity that the emperor is so panicked. Now I only have 10,000 troops and horses left. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight." Hao Zhao secretly said  He clenched his fists and sighed.

    Just when Hao Zhao was in a heavy mood, he saw a horseman from the Chu camp galloping towards the city. He arrived in front of the city moat and shouted loudly: "Hao Zhao, the Han general in the city, listen, I am under the orders of the Emperor of Chu. This is unique."  The letter is to be delivered to you."

    Yan Liang has a letter for me?

    Hao Zhao¡¯s heart suddenly shook slightly.
