Zhang Fei asked angrily: "Zi Zhong, we have 70,000 people. No matter how hard we fight, we just retreat blindly?"

Mi Zhu replied: "Report to the third general, our army has no food and clothing now. If we still have to attack the city on hunger, then... soldiers, who would like to die again?"

......

That's it, and so do people.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Bei decided to withdraw his troops for the time being, first and then make a case against the Tibetan army of the later army.

Since he decided to retreat, Liu Bei naturally had to ask when he would retreat, so that it would be appropriate.

Sun Gan analyzed: "The Yuan army has sent a meticulous worker to mix into our camp and burn our army's food and grass. If what I expected is right, the Yuan army will learn the news tomorrow and send people to attack and grab the camp. Time is too late. It is worse than our army. We will withdraw our troops tonight. How about?"

Zhang Fei said angrily: "It's so dark, how can I retreat? If I put a torch on it, will the Yuan army in Pengcheng know the signs of our army?"

Sun Gan replied: "Then don't put on a torch! Go in the dark, Pengcheng is only one or two hundred miles away from Wuyuan County. When you set out, you can arrive at noon tomorrow. Zang Ba's rear army will arrive at Wuyuan at this time. As long as our army and Zang Ba join forces, you can rest assured!"

After thinking for a while, Liu Bei slapped his high-high and said, "What Gongyou said is right. Now that our army's food and grass are burned, this matter cannot be hidden. So why don't our army withdraw before the Yuan army can react? When they realize it, there is nothing wrong. At that time, we have already run away."

After the retreat was finalized, Liu Bei ordered the army to pack up, leave the camp at night, and head eastward.

Even though he had explained in advance, the number of Liu Bei's army was too large, and some noises would inevitably be made when retreating. At first, Liu Bei was worried that the Yuan family in Pengcheng would come to chase him, and during this period, he also asked his brother Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 troops to cut off the rear. However, it seemed that the Yuan army did not notice, which made Liu Bei's army retreat too smoothly.

Just when Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know that he had gradually fallen into the trap that Zhang Xun had already set up.

After listening to the scout's report, Zhang Xun laughed and said, "Yang Situ, Liu Bei is already unable to fly. I will go and go!"

Looking at Zhang Xun's back, Yang Hong seemed to feel that Zhang Xun was even more powerful than Ji Ling. However, all of this view would have to be returned from Zhang Xun's victory before he could draw a conclusion.

As the saying goes, the moon is dark and the murderous night is high and the wind is high. Because there is no torch lighting, and the dark curtains cover the moon, Liu Bei's army walks very slowly.

Originally, I just arrived in Pengcheng today, and before the entire army could rest, Liu Bei ordered the entire army to retreat. This made the soldiers miserable. There were still rumors in the army, "all the food was burned out..." "Yuan army came to kill..." "Liu Bei was seriously injured..." and so on, and in the end, the spread became more and more intense, and there were all things to say.

Liu Bei saw the fluctuation of the army and was anxious in his heart. However, it was a great time to escape, and he could not say too much. In order to prevent the more he was getting darker, Liu Bei simply said nothing. Anyway, he would be able to join forces with Zang Ba tomorrow, and by then, no rumors would be self-defeating.

The mountains are stretched between Pengcheng and Wuyuan, and during this period, you need to pass through a canyon that is more than ten miles long. Because the mountains on both sides are steep, a light will be formed when the sun shines down. Therefore, it is called a ray of sky, which is the only way for Liu Bei to withdraw his troops.

As soon as he walked to the official road here, Liu Bei was worried, pulled Sun Gan beside him and asked anxiously: "Gongyou, look at the official road here, is it too steep? Why not, let's take a detour!"

Sun Gan glanced at Liu Bei, who was suspicious, and explained: "Lord, this place is called a first-line sky, we have only passed by during the day! There is nothing wrong with it! Besides, if we change the route, our army will have to go a hundred miles more. At that time, there will be no food in the army, so that the soldiers will rush to the road hungry, which may cause a mutiny in the army!"

Liu Bei replied embarrassedly: "Aren't I careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship? Why not send someone to inquire first and then make sure that my army is safe, how about it?"

Sun Gan analyzed: "Lord, just a few hours have passed? Can anyone in Yuan's army know whether it is possible to predict whether it is impossible? As soon as our army left, he sent someone to ambush? If there is really such a person here, then we will not be able to escape from Pengcheng tonight! Besides, wasn't Ji Ling seriously injured by General Zhang?"

After hesitating for a while, Liu Bei also felt that Sun Gan was right, so he felt relieved and continued on the road.

In fact, Sun Gan said it right. There is such a person in Yuan’s army. However, he was suppressed by Ji Ling before, but now Ji Ling is seriously injured and unconscious, which allows him to show himself.

Just as Liu Bei and Sun Gan were having a chat, countless huge rocks suddenly rolled down the mountains on both sides of the exit of Yishitian, blocking the exit. For a moment, killing sounds suddenly erupted around and drums were heard.

In a hurry, Liu Bei looked up and saw figures flashing on the cliffs on both sides, and there were countless enemy troops buried.

Seeing this, Sun Gan also looked pale. He just swears and said with certainty that Yuan Jun would not ambush here, but in just a few breaths, reality hit him hard.

Liu Bei scolded anxiously: "Gongyou, you mist me! You mist me!"

Before Liu Bei could do anything, arrows were falling like rain on the cliffs on both sides. Liu Bei's army was in trouble and his morale was unstable, but they were hit by a rain of arrows. In an instant, the entire canyon was filled with people roaring and neighing, and they were extremely chaotic.

Mi Zhu came to Liu Bei with a dirt look and said anxiously: "Lord, the road ahead is blocked. Please order the entire army to withdraw from the front line! It's too late!"

In one day, Mi Zhu experienced two terrifying dangers, which made him, the rich man in Xuzhou, almost cursed. However, it was too late to say anything now, and he could only withdraw from the first ray of heaven for the time being to have that real chance of life.

However, the width of a single line is about two meters wide and about ten miles long. It is easy to get in, but it is not that easy to get out.

The cliffs on both sides either rolled down rocks or shot feather arrows. In addition, the darkness was also bright, and the morale of the army was naturally turbulent. In order to avoid death, the soldiers would inevitably trample on each other. For a moment, in the canyon, Liu Bei's army could not find soldiers, and the soldiers could not find generals, which was even more chaotic than before.

Not to mention the ordinary soldiers' minds, even the head coach Liu Bei was very panicked at this moment, and it was hard to say the inexplicable horror in his heart.

Sun Gan avoided the flying arrows from time to time and said anxiously: "Lord, retreat quickly, retreat quickly, it will be too late!"

"Retreat, soldiers, please retreat with me!" Liu Bei, who was in shock, suddenly woke up and then rode his horse back. At that moment, he didn't care about his mount and hit someone, just to save his life first.

As soon as the commander fled, the other Xuzhou soldiers retreated in panic, but in this narrow corridor, there were slow movements in line, let alone at this chaotic moment.

When Liu Bei escaped from the front line of the queen, his 60,000 troops were almost gone, and he happened to meet Zhang Fei who came later.

Zhang Fei was shocked when he saw this and asked quickly: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Bei pulled Zhang Fei and replied cryingly: "Third brother, it's all your fault, it's all your fault! If it's not for your brother's words, it wouldn't have been destroyed by the army. We were ambushed in the first ray of heaven!"

"What?" Zhang Fei said sternly: "Is it because Sun Gan can't collude with the enemy? I'll catch him now and kill him to vent my anger!"

After hearing this, Sun Gan felt a chill in his heart. He didn't blame Liu Bei for making such a mistake. As a strategist, he naturally had to take responsibility for it.

Just as Sun Gan was about to come forward to take these responsibilities, Mi Zhu, who was standing aside, grabbed Sun Gan tightly, shook his head slightly, then stepped forward and said, "Lord, the third general, Gong You have some responsibility, but he will not be punished until he dies! Besides, our army has just been ambushed and the morale of the army is in turmoil, so it is better to evacuate here quickly!"

After hearing Mi Zhu's words, Liu Bei realized that he felt that his words were biased just now, so he quickly accused Sun Gan and said, "Fortunately, Zi Zhong gave a message to remind him that if not, Bei would definitely have harmed Gongyou. If our army had such a disaster, we should blame me Liu Bei alone. Regardless of Gongyou's affairs! Zi Zhong was right, we should withdraw our troops quickly!"

Zhang Fei asked angrily: "Where should I retreat?"

At this time, everyone looked at Sun Gan. Sun Gan thought for a while and said anxiously: "Xia Pi City is surrounded by rivers on three sides, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our army might as well retreat to Xia Pi City for a while. What do you think?"

Liu Bei nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, our army will retreat to Xia Pi, and it will be safe to retreat to Xia Pi!"

But before Liu Bei could rest for a while, another army came from afar. Seeing the torches surging, there must be a large number of people. At the time of crisis, Zhang Fei immediately volunteered to take five thousand soldiers to cut off the rear for Liu Bei.

Seeing Zhang Fei bringing people to face the enemy's back, Liu Bei did not dare to neglect and rushed to Xia Pi in the south with 20,000 defeated generals.

On the way, Liu Bei encountered several attacks from Yuan's army. Every time Liu Bei had to send thousands of people to resist. When he arrived at the banks of the Yishui River, there were less than 500 soldiers around Liu Bei.

Looking at the rolling river water, Liu Bei's lips were pursed tightly. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I was so energetic that I was under the command of 150,000 troops and horses, under the emperor's order, to attack the rebellious officials. Now... only a few hundred people followed me and escaped back, alas!"

Looking at the sentimental Liu Bei, Sun Gan hurriedly advised: "Lord, there are 80,000 General Zang Ba's troops, we still have the opportunity to make a comeback. Now, it's important to cross the river first!"

Mi Zhu sneered: "Since the enemy can ambush us, can't they still ambush Zang Ba? In my opinion, Zang Ba is in danger this time!"
