Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 522 Liu Paopao wants to be a nomad



In the court hall of the Luoyang Palace, Cao Shuo summoned several counselors and generals to discuss the matter of attacking Hanzhong.

Zhao Yun's battle report had already been delivered, and after reading it, Cao Shuo felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Yun's arrangement.

Now that Guan Yu has arrived in Xicheng, he can attack Hanzhong directly from Sanguan in Yongzhou.

"Feng Xiao, how many soldiers and horses are there in Luoyang?"

Guo Jia replied: "Nearly 30 troops have been transferred from Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou. Including the original garrison, there are nearly 50 troops."

Cao Shuo thought for a while, 50 people are enough.

Of course, these troops were not prepared for Liu Bei. With Liu Bei's strength, he would not need 5 people at all.

After conquering Hanzhong, they had to find ways to defend against the Kingdom of Shu, and then send a large army to attack Liangzhou, and then expedition to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

The army of the Xianbei Protectorate's Mansion has reached Langjuxu Mountain, and can support Bingzhou's soldiers and horses to attack Liangzhou at any time.

"Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang."

"Chen is here!"

"I will give you an army of one hundred thousand. Together with Xiahou Dun of Bingzhou, you will attack Liangzhou from Bingzhou. You must take Wuwei for me within a month."

"promise!"

"Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Yue, Le Jin, Hua Xiong, Guo Jia, you lead an army of [-] troops to station in Youfufeng, ready to attack Liangzhou at any time."

"promise!"

"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, follow me and lead an army of 20 troops to Sanguan."

He wants to make Liu Bei feel desperate. Even if the soldiers and horses in Nanyang County don't attack, Liu Bei can't defend Hanzhong.

Liu Bei and Zhang Ren fought back and forth for five or six days at Sword Pavilion, Zhang Ren did not capture Jiange, and Liu Bei did not repel Zhang Ren, let alone take down Jiameng Pass.

Liu Bei is very anxious now, if he doesn't think of a way to take Jiameng Pass down, he may be trapped to death in Hanzhong.

"Report!"

A small soldier hurriedly came to Liu Bei's big tent, Liu Bei became inexplicably flustered, could it be that something happened in Hanzhong?
"whats the matter?"

"Cao Shuo personally led an army of 20 to Sanguan, and went down to Dazhai on the south side of Sanguan."

Sanguan south?

Isn't that your own territory?
Liu Bei panicked.

Sun Qian said, "Your Majesty, why don't we go back to Hanzhong?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, and now it doesn't make much sense to go back, he can't hold Hanzhong.

Cao Shuo's 20 army is not Liu Zhang's 20 army. With the power of Cao Shuo's cavalry and siege equipment, let alone 20, even [-], he can't hold it.

Going back by yourself now is tantamount to sending yourself to death.

But if you don't go back, where can you go?

Staying in Jiange can only wait for death, he must find a way out for himself.

Liu Bei stared at the map in a daze. Did he go to Yizhou to attach himself to Liu Zhang?

I don't know if Liu Zhang will take him in. If he doesn't take him in, he may lose his life.

Go to Xiliang?Ma Teng probably didn't want to see him.

Liu Bei looked around, and he could only go to the territory of the Qiang people, but if he went to the Qiang people, he would have to give up a lot of things, and the civilians could not take them away.

"Sun Qian, go and inform Yun Chang to lead the army to withdraw to Hanzhong, and then assist Zhao Yan and Du Xi to transport all the food, weapons, and money to Jiange."

Sun Qian asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Do you want to give up Hanzhong?"

"The people of Hanzhong have followed me since Yuzhou. I can't bring them a stable life, so let them stay in Hanzhong. As long as I leave Hanzhong, Cao Shuo will not treat them badly."

"My lord, where are we going?"

Jian Yong asked with a puzzled face.

Are you going to the Kingdom of Shu?

But they have fought with Shu for so long and killed so many soldiers, how could they take us in?
"Go to the land of the Qiang people!"

"Be careful, Your Majesty, the living conditions there are extremely harsh."

"I have already figured it out. The Xiongnu and Xianbei can rely on nomadic life and survive on the prairie for hundreds of years. We can also deal with Cao Shuo according to this method. When we grow stronger, we will come back to take the Central Plains." .”

Liu Bei did what he said, and he had already seen clearly that defending the city was not Cao Shuo's opponent at all, and he could only fight guerrilla with him.

Qiang is the best choice. When he has a million cavalry, he will fight Cao Shuo again.

Wei Yan, who was patrolling the Jiange, saw Liu Bei's Chinese army packing their bags, hurried to Liu Bei's tent, and asked, "My lord, are you going to retreat?"

Liu Bei explained: "Cao Shuo's 20 troops stationed in Sanguan, our army is impossible to resist, rather than let the people of Hanzhong suffer, we should withdraw from Hanzhong, leaving a way for the people to survive."

"Where is my lord going?"

"Qiang!"

Qiang?

Wei Yan was stunned.

Liu Bei would actually choose a territory of a foreign race, so why not go to the Kingdom of Shu?
Or take refuge with Cao Shuo. After all, he has the habit of treating prisoners preferentially, and he rarely kills soldiers.

"My lord, the Qiang people are a barren land, isn't it inappropriate for us to go there?"

Liu Bei explained: "Only by becoming a nomad can we deal with Cao Shuo."

Wei Yan felt a little uneasy about going to the barren land of the Qiang people, what kind of future would he have.

Since Liu Bei wants to go to the Qiang people, there is no need for him to accompany him.

"My lord, the general doesn't want to go to the Qiang tribe!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and persuaded: "Master Wen, we will come back."

Wei Yan sighed: "The final general doesn't want to be chased back and forth like a bereaved dog."

"You really don't want to go?" Liu Bei frowned and stared at Wei Yan.

"The final general will no longer be able to follow the lord to conquer the north and south."

"Then where are you going?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. If my lord really wants to go, I can enter the Guanghan vassal state from the Jiange. I will help my lord stop the pursuers here."

Wei Yan believes that many soldiers in the army will definitely choose to stay. After all, the living conditions of the Qiang people are too harsh, and they may not be used to it.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Chief Wen to take care of me. I won't blame you whether you say you're going to join Cao Shuo, Liu Zhang, or Ma Teng."

Du Xi and Zhao Yan in Hanzhong were stunned when they received Liu Bei's order.

They didn't even touch Cao Shuo, and they chose to retreat directly. Hanzhong, which they have been running for almost two years, is really a bit reluctant to let it go to others like this.

"Old Du, are you going with me?"

"how about you?"

The two were silent, do you want to follow Liu Bei?
The Qiang people are not something ordinary people can bear.

Zhao Yan sighed and said, "My lord treats me well, so I'd better go along and treat it as an exotic experience."

Du Xi said: "Then you go, I wish you all the best in the Qiang people."

Two days later, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Liao Hua, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Zhao Yan, Fu Shiren, Liu Pi, and [-] soldiers from Jiange into the Guanghan vassal state.
