I was the emperor in the Three Kingdoms

Most of Liu Bei's advisers and generals escaped, but some were killed, captured or missing. Liu Pi was killed, Gong Du was captured, Zhang Xiu and Zhou Cang were missing, and the rest escaped with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's words were very pitiful and his tone was miserable, which made everyone around him cry. They were moved by Liu Bei.

Zhu Huan knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Bei and said:"My lord, you must never despise yourself like this. In the past, the emperor of the Han Dynasty defeated the overlord several times, and finally won a battle, creating the 400-year foundation of the Han Dynasty. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, and lord Why be discouraged?"

Zhu Huan met Liu Bei when he was traveling in Runan. After being deceived by Liu Bei's sweet words, he went to Liu Bei to review the match and persuaded him:"My lord, although this battle is defeated, it has been seen clearly by the world. Although Cao Cao looks like a thief, my lord has won the sympathy of the people in the world. As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. By doing this, Cao Cao has lost the hearts of the people and will definitely lose at the hands of the lord in the future."

Liu Bei's words when he was judged made his heart itch. , it really sounded like that, so he was moved.

However, after Liu Bei looked around, he said with a sad face:"Bei wished he could take revenge on Cao Cao, but Runan has been lost. The world is so big, but there is no place for Bei."

He had two or three kittens, and he wanted to attack. The territory is difficult. When he thought of this, he hated Cao Cao even more. He actually chased them all for hundreds of miles, causing his men to be killed continuously and scattered, so that only so many people were left.

Sun Qian suggested:"My lord, success or failure is a common thing, don't be discouraged. We are not far from Jingzhou. Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, is sitting in the nine counties of Jingzhou. He has strong soldiers and horses, sufficient food and grass, and is strong. Moreover, he and my lord are both from the Han Dynasty. Dear, my lord might as well go to him and wait for the opportunity."

Liu Bei heard this and his heart suddenly moved, but he was worried and said:"I'm afraid he won't take me in."

Shen Pei offered his advice and said:"My lord, Now that Wancheng is in Cao Cao's hands and is very close to Xinye, Liu Jingzhou must also be worried about whether Cao Cao will attack Jingzhou. The lord may as well send someone to lobby and get Liu Jingzhou to agree to the lord stationing in Xinye to help him defend Cao Cao."

Liu Biaoyi. Listen, this is a good thing to pay attention to, so that you can have a piece of territory that he can freely decide on. This is undoubtedly the best start for Liu Bei.

Liu Biao believed that if Liu Biao really agreed to his stationing in Xinye, he was confident that after a period of time, he would be able to regain some of his strength and rise again.

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to go to persuade Liu Jingzhou."Sun Qian then recommended himself and was willing to go to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biao

"Thank you Gongyou (zi of Sun Qian) for your hard work."

Liu Bei's words contained expectations, hoping that Sun Qian's trip would go well.......

Pingyu, the seat of Runan County, Cao Cao stood on the city wall, looking to the west.

It had been two days since Pingyu City was captured, and the clearing work was still in progress. Countless soldiers loyal to Liu Bei below were tied up and pushed out. They lined up and were killed by swordsmen and axemen.

Also executed together with them were their family members. These people were loyal to Liu Bei and could not stay.

There were endless cries and curses, and the nauseating smell of blood floated in the air. These were mixed together and spread to the city wall, but Cao Cao turned a blind eye and listened without any change in his expression.

Liu Bei was extremely good at buying people's hearts. During his several years in Runan, the hearts of the entire Runan people were bought by him. Countless people thought about his kindness and respectfully called him Uncle Liu Huang.

This time Cao Cao attacked Runan. If he hadn't successfully attacked Pingyu City, Cao Cao was not even sure how long it would take to capture Pingyu City. However, even if Pingyu City is conquered, after entering Pingyu City, the resistance encountered is no less than that of siege.

Liu Bei led most of his soldiers on the expedition, but only 30,000 soldiers defended Pingyu City. After the city was broken, most of the 30,000 soldiers died in the battle, except for a few who escaped. They stayed to stop Cao Cao's army. After being defeated in the front, they spread out and joined forces with the people in the city, constantly harassing and attacking Cao Cao's soldiers, causing huge casualties to Cao Cao's soldiers.

In the battle of Pingyu City alone, Cao Cao suffered more than 40,000 casualties, half of which were lost after the city was broken. Cao Cao felt very distressed and resented Liu Bei and these prisoners even more.

Therefore, even if he was stigmatized, Cao Cao would still go on a killing spree. Anyway, he had already massacred the city in Xuzhou, so he didn't care about it. No matter how many people he killed, he still had to completely remove the imprint of Liu Bei's stay in Runan. Only by completely eliminating Liu Bei's imprint can Runan be in his hands with peace of mind.

At the same time, Cao Cao was also happy. Fortunately, he listened to Cheng Yu and attacked Runan instead of attacking Xuzhou. Although Gongsun Zan's territory in Xuzhou is larger than Liu Bei's, his foundation is not stable and there is nothing to fear. On the contrary, it is Liu Bei who governs Runan County like this. The people and families under his rule are devoted to him and support him loyally. Compared with Gongsun Zan, , I don’t know how much higher it is.

Cao Cao was even more fortunate that Liu Bei only had one county, Runan. Although Liu Bei was the governor of Yuzhou, Yingchuan County was in his hands. There were four remaining feudal states, and only Runan County was the one Liu Bei could make the decision on.
