Dangyang, Changban slope.

The 20,000 remaining soldiers of the Han army were marching non-stop regardless of fatigue.

Liu Bei, who was on the carriage, stuck his head out from time to time and looked north.

Although there were 100,000 people serving as cannon fodder, he was still worried that Cao Cao's cavalry might catch up at any time.

A horse came galloping towards him. It was Liao Hua.

"Report to your Majesty, half of our army has crossed Dangyang Bridge."

"The military advisor is already waiting at the bridge head, asking the king to cross the bridge quickly."

Liao Hua approached the carriage and reported.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

"After crossing Dangyang Bridge, we are not far from Jiangling. Your Majesty, you should feel at ease.~~"

The woman next to her holding the baby smiled and comforted her.

The woman was Cai, who was originally Liu Biao's second wife.

Liu Biao was robbed of Jingzhou and died in grief and anger. In order to win over the Cai family and appease the hearts of Liu Biao's old tribe, Liu Bei married the Cai family and became his queen.

Just a month ago, Cai gave birth to a son for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was naturally very happy when he got a son, and he doted on Cai even more.

"The queen is right. After crossing Dangyang Bridge, we can sit back and relax."

Liu Bei relaxed, so he came over and teased the baby in Cai's arms with a smile.

Seeing that Liu Bei was in a good mood, Cai took advantage of the situation and said,"Adou is the only son of the king. I wonder when the king will make Adou the crown prince? The smile on Liu

Bei's face gradually faded, but he said:"The queen is wrong. Isn't Feng'er the son of this king?""

The Feng'er in his mouth is naturally his adopted son Liu Feng.

According to legal principles, although Liu Feng does not have the blood of the Liu family, as long as the adoption ceremony is carried out, he is Liu Bei's nominal eldest son.

"Feng'er is naturally also the king's son. Cai changed the subject and lowered her voice:"But after all, he is not of the Liu family's blood. Will the foundation that the king has worked so hard to build have to be passed on to a child who does not have the blood of the Liu family in the future?""

Liu Bei's heart was shocked and he fell into deep thought.

After a long time,

Liu Bei sighed:"Adou is still young. We will discuss the matter of establishing a son in the future. Besides, now is the time to employ people. I also need the Jingnan Army under Feng'er.."

The implication of his words was that he was determined to make Adou his heir apparent.

However, Liu Feng still had a use for him, and now he did not want to make Adou prematurely and make Liu Feng feel cold.

Cai understood Liu Bei's hint and was secretly happy. He no longer hesitated.

A smile reappeared on Liu Bei's face and he continued to tease Adou.

However, he was completely unaware that a dust mist was coming from the east direction.

In the dust mist, three thousand red horses followed, galloping like lightning.

"Military advisor Ziyou knew what was going on. Liu Bei's army was indeed going south from Dangyang Bridge to Jiangling!"

Zhao Yun looked at the figure of the Han army in front and sighed in admiration.

Then, with murderous intent in his eyes, he pointed his gentian gun:"I will follow my red horse to cut off the Dangyang Bridge!"

The iron cavalry rolled like countless streams of flames along the north bank of Zhangshui River, heading towards Dangyang Bridge several miles away.

The Han army

"King, no, Wei cavalry is attacking from the east!"

Liao Hua was the first to discover the enemy's situation and shouted in panic.

Liu Bei trembled and hurriedly stuck out his head and looked eastward.

In the dust and mist, the red cavalry silhouette was approaching quickly.

"Red horse Yi Cong!"

Liu Bei exclaimed in surprise, and his face suddenly became as pale as paper.

Cai's face also changed with horror, and said in shock:"Your Majesty, isn't the Wei army blocked in the north by hundreds of thousands of people? How could it appear from the east?"

Liu Bei was confused and had no way to explain.

"Could it be that Cao Cao's thieves took the water route south and then westward along Zhangshui River, relying on the speed of Chi Ma Yi Cong to get ahead of our army and cut off the Dangyang Bridge?"

Liao Hua thought of it first.

Liu Bei suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help but shudder.

It takes a lot of knowledge of Jingzhou's terrain to figure out that when he goes south to Jiangling, he will definitely pass Dangyang Bridge.

You know, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang, Tell me, even he, the lord of Jingzhou, didn’t know that there would be a bridge crossing Zhangshui on Dangyang Changbanpo. But

Cao Cao not only knew about the existence of Dangyang Bridge, he even thought of going south by Han River first, and then by land. Go west and cut off Dangyang Bridge's plan.

This plan easily defeated his plan to coerce the people to cross south!

"Could it be that this was Cao Yuan's work again?"

Liu Bei murmured in shock.

Liao Hua said anxiously:"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whose hand it is, we have to cross the bridge quickly, otherwise Chi Mayi will seize the bridge first and it will be over!"

Liu Bei came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered the horsemen to drive the carriage quickly.

When the Han soldiers on the left and right who had not crossed the bridge saw the Wei cavalry intercepting, they immediately became confused and ran southward.

The carriage had already reached its maximum speed, but The Chima Yicong was too fast. At this speed, the carriage would not be able to get to the bridge in time and would be intercepted by the Chima Yicong.

Liu Bei felt extremely regretful.

He originally wanted to ride a horse, but was stopped by Wei Yan outside Xiangyang City. He was so angry at the betrayal that he vomited blood and was physically weak, so he had no choice but to abandon his horse and ride in a carriage. If he had been riding a horse, he would have already crossed the bridge by now. However, the current situation was urgent and he had no time to abandon his carriage and change horses again.

"what to do?"

"Could it be that I, Liu Bei, am going to die here today?"

Liu Bei's thoughts were racing, and he was in chaos for a moment.

Ms. Cai next to her was also so frightened that her beauty turned pale, and Adou in his arms was so frightened that he burst into tears.

The cry alarmed Liu Bei, and he suddenly turned around to look at Mr. Cai.

A flash in his eyes A cold light flashed across his face.

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and suddenly snatched Adou from Cai's hand.

"King, what do you want to do?"

Ms. Cai panicked, her face as pale as paper.

Liu Bei said in a deep voice:"Queen, you and I are riding in the same car. We are both going to die. I have the heavy responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty, so I can only make sacrifices for you, Queen.!"

Before he finished speaking,

Liu Bei kicked the car door fiercely and pushed Cai out.

Cai screamed and instinctively grabbed the car door, and half of her body was dragged to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please don’t abandon me. Please don’t abandon me.~~"

Cai was extremely sad and begged, refusing to let go until death.

Liu Bei originally felt guilty, but when he saw that Cai refused to let go, his guilt turned into disgust in an instant.

He frowned, his heart thumped, and he stomped hard on Cai's hand again.

"ah~~"

Ms. Cai screamed, her hands couldn't hold on any longer, and she fell out of the carriage.
