Liu Zhang was stunned.
There was an uproar in the tent, and all the officials were shocked and discolored.
Zhang Ren, in particular, was so shocked that his expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost.
Even Huang Quan, who advocated withdrawing troops, looked incredulous.
"Cao Cao lost... lost Hebei so quickly?"
Huang Quan's voice trembled and he asked in disbelief.
In the big tent, a pot immediately exploded.
"It's not surprising that Cao Cao proclaimed himself emperor, but it was really strange that he lost Yecheng and even Hebei in just two months!"
"Although the Wei army lost the Yellow River defense line, it still had more than 100,000 troops. How could it be defeated so quickly?"
Zhang Ren jumped up and asked the guards excitedly.
His shout also represented the doubts of Liu Zhang and everyone present.
In their eyes, Cao Cao was an insurmountable, almost terrifying, strong man.
This It was a battle of Guandu, where the weak defeated the strong and defeated the strong Yuan Shao.
Even if he was defeated by Liu Bei repeatedly, he would not be so vulnerable, right?
The personal guards did not dare to say anything, and were busy presenting detailed information.
Liu Zhang has not yet Before he could see it, Zhang Ren snatched it and read it loudly in public: 930.
The grain robbery failed, Wen Chou died, Cao Ang was killed, 400,000 grains and grass were taken away, Xun Yu and Sun Li rebelled, Cao Xiu was killed, Yecheng fell... the whole The story of the Battle of Hebei was written clearly.
Zhang Ren read it, his voice became weaker and trembling, and the doubts on his face twisted into shock.
Liu Zhang also opened his mouth wide, as if he was listening to Tian Fang Yi Tan. Normal.
There was silence in the big tent.
All the doubts disappeared.
The word"shock" was written on every face of Liu Zhang and his ministers.
"This Liu Bei is so strong?"
"He actually used such incredible means to easily capture Yecheng and force Cao Cao to flee westward in embarrassment?"
Liu Zhang murmured to himself, with deep fear already welling up in his eyes.
It was the fear of Liu Bei, a fellow sect member.
"well!"
"I have long said that with the help of divine men like Deng Mu, King Yan, no one in the world can compete with him."
"Lord Shu, you refused to listen to my ministers’ advice and insisted on leading an army to attack Jingzhou, thus falling out with King Yan."
"It's good now, Jingzhou was not captured, (afeh) Cao Cao has lost Hebei, and we have offended King Yan again"
"If King Yan gets angry and leads his army south to Jingzhou to fight, what should we do?"
Huang Quan no longer concealed his blame for Liu Zhang in his words.
Liu Zhang shivered and shuddered violently behind his back. He was suddenly startled by Huang Quan's words and broke into a cold sweat.
Huang Quan's words really scared him.. No matter how strong Cao Cao is, he is no match for Liu Bei. He was defeated by others. Let alone him. Now that Liu Bei has gained the territory of Jiuzhou, if he raises an army that overwhelms the country and rushes to Jingzhou, he will only have 70,000 soldiers and horses. I'm afraid it's not even enough to block the gap between people's teeth.
To attack one state against nine states, isn't this the same as throwing an egg at a stone and bringing about self-destruction?
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"If you have any good ideas, please tell me."
Liu Zhang was in a hurry and hurriedly asked the ministers for advice.
Zhang Ren was now wilted and lost his temper. He stopped shouting and continued to attack Yiling and lowered his head silently.
The most famous general in Shu seemed to be the same. I'm scared.
No wonder.
Zhang Ren is arrogant, but he is not stupid. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
When Liu Bei's main force was in Hebei, he was confident that he could defeat Guan Yu's army with his military superiority, and for Liu Zhang captured Jingzhou.
But now the situation has changed.
Liu Bei captured Hebei and could lead an army of 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers southward at any time.
No matter how conceited Zhang Ren was, he was not so conceited as to think that with their 70,000 Shu troops, they could defeat 400,000 Yan troops..At this moment, he, who was originally the main battler, could only choose to remain silent.
"Duke Shu, the only plan is to retreat to Yizhou as soon as possible. We must not stay for another day!"
Huang Quan straightened his back this time and confidently advised Liu Zhang to withdraw his troops.
Liu Zhang nodded heavily and said without even thinking about it:
"Okay, okay, just follow what Gong Heng said, withdraw your troops and return to Yizhou immediately!"
"Send an order to retreat immediately and return to Yizhou~~"
Liu Zhang's voice was hoarse and his expression was urgent. He just wanted to fly back to Yizhou with his army as soon as possible.
Huang Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought, my lord, why are you doing this? You should have listened to my advice and not led the army out of Sichuan. Isn't Liu Bei very good?
In that case, it wouldn't be so embarrassing, right?
"Lord Shu, it is a fact that we have offended King Yan."
"Does Duke Shu really think that if we just withdraw our troops and go back, King Yan will let us go?"[]
Zhang Song, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
There is a hint of sarcasm in the words.
Liu Zhang was stunned and asked hurriedly:
"In Yongnian's opinion, what can I do to calm the anger of King Yan?"
Zhang Song stepped forward slowly, stroking his short beard and said calmly:
"King Yan has the ambition to swallow up the world. I predict that after he regains Hebei this time, he will definitely ascend to the throne and become emperor."
"I think that in addition to retreating, the Duke of Shu should immediately send envoys north to see the King of Yan with your invitation to advance, Duke of Shu."
"With this effort of persuading people to advance, we can temporarily calm the anger of King Yan and exchange for the temporary peace of Yizhou."
Liu Bei wants to proclaim himself emperor?
Do you want the superiors to persuade him to join?
Liu Zhang was shocked, and a question flashed in his eyes, but he said:
"Liu Bei was only a mat weaver and shoe seller, so he dared to overstep his bounds and proclaim himself emperor?"
Although Liu Zhang was afraid of Liu Bei, he obviously still had contempt for Liu Bei's background.
"The Emperor of Heaven has been killed by Cao Cao, and the line of Emperor Ling's orthodoxy has been cut off. Anyone with strength among the Liu family can claim the title of emperor and inherit the Han Dynasty."
"Now the King of Yan dominates Jiuzhou and is the strongest in the world"
"I would like to ask, in this world, which Liu family member is more confident than Liu Bei to proclaim himself emperor?"
"What's more, Emperor Gao was only the head of a pavilion back then. Didn't he also create our 400-year-old foundation in Lianghe?"
"Lord Shu, in a time of peace, whoever becomes emperor depends on who is more orthodox."
"In these troubled times, whoever becomes the emperor must first see who has the strongest fist."
Zhang Song analyzed it eloquently, as if giving a lesson to a child, and taught Liu Zhang a lesson.
Liu Zhang suddenly realized and couldn't help but fell silent.
Obviously, he, who was born in a noble family, sincerely looked down on Liu Bei, a distant and poor relative.
Forced by the current situation, this poor relative of his has become a phoenix by flying on a branch, but he has to humbly please others and persuade them to become emperor. He can't lose face...
