Under Jingzhou City, soldiers have gathered, and the sea of people stretches to the skyline.
Li Yuguo was at the bottom of the city. He was wearing a silver light armor. He sat down and the Red Rabbit horse plowed its front hooves and made a loud neigh. Li Yuguo waved and a number of prison carts had been pushed over. Inside were all disheveled people. , among these people, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and a group of counselors, with a total of thirty-nine vehicles, containing forty people.
Because one of the prison vans broke down on the way, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were locked up together. The two were locked up face to face, their lips almost touching. The two gentlemen were blushing and very embarrassed.
Li Huguo said: "Uncle Liu Huang, long time no see."
With that said, Li Huguo dismounted and raised his fist towards Liu Bei on the top of the city with a smile on his face.
Liu Bei remained silent and looked at Li Yuguo.
Li Yuguo said: "Mr. Zhuge, Uncle Liu, in fact, you two are people I admire very much. It is because of the kindness of the emperor that my sister did not suffer any disaster. I heard that she left Jingzhou City , you also sent a few school swordsmen to escort Baili, this kindness moved me very much."
"Li Bolong, since you know my lord's benevolence and righteousness, why do you want to attack Jingzhou?" Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and pointed at Li Hugo.
Li Yuguo said: "The military advisor is serious, this is not an attack, this is just a return. I have lived in Jingzhou for more than a year, and the tomb of Master Liu Qi is also here. Liu Qi and I are brothers, how could I be so far away from him?" , living in Chengdu? Besides, it was precisely because Uncle Liu Huang let go of my sister and spared my sister's life that I showed mercy and asked all the brothers around me to spare their hands. Look at Uncle Liu's two brothers, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, And uncle Liu’s generals and counselors, aren’t they all living a good life under my arrangement? This is all to repay Uncle Liu!”
Li Yuguo's words were as if he was turning against the guest, which made Zhuge Liang very angry. However, what Li Yuguo said did make sense. After all, Li Yuguo did not kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If Li Yuguo touched any of them, I am afraid things would be out of control. .
Under the jurisdiction of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, everyone in the world knows that they are brothers of life and death who came from Taoyuan. Everyone knows this bond of life and death.
Liu Bei has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were above his benevolence and righteousness, so Li Hugo knew very well that if anything happened to either Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, Liu Bei would go crazy.
If a person who believes in benevolence and righteousness his whole life falls into madness, it will have terrible consequences.
Now Liu Bei has no chance to launch the "Battle of Yiling". Later generations can regard this Battle of Yiling as a turning point in the fate of the entire Shu Kingdom. This war led to the complete formation of the Three Kingdoms. Ruined Liu Bei's best chance to dominate the Central Plains.
At that time, there were not many generals under Liu Bei that could be dispatched. When Liu Bei was at the Battle of Yiling, Guan Yu had been killed, Zhang Fei was also killed by his men for randomly beating his men, and Huang Zhong died.
At this time, Liu Bei's five tiger generals only have Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, and there is also a general Wei Yan. Among them, Ma Chao will be in charge of Xiqiang because only he can control Xiqiang. Zhao Yun has repeatedly discouraged Liu Bei from attacking Soochow. , so Liu Bei didn't like him at this time and asked him to go to the rear to support him.
As for another general, Wei Yan, he was sent to guard the Hanzhong territory, which means that at this time Liu Bei was attacking Wu and he did not have any powerful generals.
Under such circumstances, Liu Bei gave up his benevolence and only avenged his brothers. It can be said that he was desperate. If Li Hugo had killed Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, he would probably have completely inherited the irresolvable hatred from Liu Bei.
Having said that, the Battle of Yiling launched by Liu Bei was actually the most important during the Three Kingdoms period and one of the three important battles that changed the overall situation and direction of the Three Kingdoms. The first was the Battle of Guandu. Through this battle, Cao Cao defeated the powerful enemy Yuan Shao. , and achieved the unification of the north; the second was the Battle of Chibi, where Shu Han and Soochow effectively blocked Cao Wei, leaving Cao Wei with no absolute advantage in attacking Shu Han and Soochow, thus establishing the situation of the Three Kingdoms; third The first is the Battle of Yiling. This battle basically changed the Shu Han Dynasty from a strategic offensive to a strategic defensive.
In other words, after the failure of the Battle of Yiling, it was basically destined that the Shu Han Dynasty would never be able to unify the world. The reason why Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei's multiple Northern Expeditions were ultimately safe and in vain was actually determined by the defeat of Yiling. .
At this time, Li Hugo sent these generals and counselors, and Liu Bei's expression was very complicated, because he was defeated, and Li Hugo was very kind by not killing these generals and counselors.
Liu Bei looked at the sky and said to Zhuge Liang: "The sky has turned sunny. It has rained for several days in the past few days."
"Rain is not necessarily a bad thing, and sunny days... are not necessarily a good thing." Zhuge Liang frowned, holding the feather fan tightly in his hand, but did not wave it anymore. He came to the top of the city and said to Pang Tong: "Brother, look Come to this game of chess, you win.”
Pang Tong stroked his beard and said: "There is no winner or lose in this game of chess, and you and I are not enemies by any means. The enemy of the array now should be Sima Yi from the north. Do you know what he did to the corner of his mouth?"
"You know, how can you not know? He asked Zhou Yu to instigate Sun Quan to attack Lu Bu, and then sent many spies to invade our Jingzhou territory, and also invaded Yizhou, causing discord between my lord and General Li Bolong. He is provoking a war!" Zhuge Liang said.
"Now Sima Yi has usurped the throne and became prime minister, but he is more dangerous than Cao Mengde... Junior brother, are you willing to put down these city constructions and let the four southern families allied themselves to deal with the Sima family in the north?" Pang Tong said again.
Zhuge Liang did not speak, but looked at Liu Bei beside him.
Liu Bei looked at his two brothers. He was holding on to the bricks at the top of the city. His eyes were too bloodshot. He almost squeezed out the words: "Open the city gate... accept the surrender and welcome General Li!"
How unwilling and frustrated he was. You must know that Liu Bei originally established the world, which started from Jingzhou, and then gained the whole world step by step, but now... he has failed in such a situation.
Success is benevolence and righteousness, failure is also benevolence and righteousness.
Li Huguo said: "Invite all the generals in. They will follow my orders and enter the city with me. The others will camp at the gate of the city."
"Yes!" All the soldiers agreed.
"Bo Long." Guan Yu in the cage spoke at this time.
Li Huguo stopped: "Brother Yun."
"Do you want to be emperor?" Guan Yunchang said.
Li Yuguo was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "What's so good about the Emperor? Look at the Emperor Ling, the Young Emperor, and the Emperor Xian... they don't live as smartly as I do?"
