System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Haha, since you are so sensible about current affairs, this general will approve your request."

"You will lead the army and follow me to pursue Liu Bei. When we encounter the enemy, I will lead the troops and you won't have to take action."

"On the way, tell me what Liu Bei's next plan is."

Lu Bu nodded slightly and then spoke to the two of them.

"promise!"

Chen Lan and Lei Bo breathed a sigh of relief and responded quickly.

On the road to Xinye.

Since there were a large number of civilians accompanying them, the army's marching speed was not fast at all.

At the end of the day, I only walked less than twenty miles.

Late at night, you can even see the faint glow of fire from Wancheng behind you.

"It seems that Chen Lan and the others have succeeded."

Liu Bei looked back and saw a faint red light in the north.

"Isn't it... a little early?"

Compared with Liu Bei's optimism, Zhuge Liang became worried instead.

It’s too early. It’s just getting dark.

It didn't match the time he expected at all.

If the enemy enters the city at this time, it is impossible for them to prepare to rest immediately.

"Military Advisor, are you worrying too much?"

"We are so well prepared, and there is indeed a glow of fire in the direction of Wancheng."

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile.

Clearly, the plan had been successful.

Otherwise, why would Chen Lan and the others set the fire?

Tap——

Tap——

"Minato!"

"grass!"

"drive!"

Thousands of horses were galloping, and in the dim light, one could actually see the dust sweeping up from the north.

It was obvious that the enemy had dispatched a large number of cavalry.

"The enemy is coming!"

"Run away!"

"Where is Envoy Liu?"

"Hurry up and inform Envoy Liu to resist the enemy!"

"Run for your life, the thief Dong is coming!"

The people in the rear, who were already exhausted, suddenly started a large-scale commotion.

There was widespread unrest among hundreds of thousands of people, and the consequences were predictable.

Trampling and crowding soon led to bloodshed.

"How to do?"

"Military Advisor, what should we do now?"

Liu Bei asked with a look of panic on his face.

With such a large scale of momentum, someone like Liu Bei who had been in the north for so many years could tell at a glance how many cavalry there were.

You have to know that Liu Bei used to follow Gongsun Zan.

It was impossible for him not to know how much momentum a certain number of cavalrymen could create.

There must be at least six or seven thousand cavalrymen.

"Abandoning the people, the army immediately set off with light equipment."

Zhuge Liang made the decision without hesitation.

The people can be both livelihood resources and strategic resources.

Abandoning these people at this time can help them buy a lot of time.

After all, with so many people stuck on the road, it was impossible for the cavalry to charge all the way over, otherwise the Dong family would completely lose the support of the people of Jingzhou.

The result is no different from what Cao Cao did to Xuzhou.

仁？

Stop it, even the rich are unkind!

What’s more, when it comes to playing politics, how many of them are not ruthless?

A kind-hearted person is not suitable to be an official.

There have been no good politicians since ancient times.

"no!"

"Absolutely not!"

"I promised them that I would take them to Xiangyang."

“A man without faith cannot stand!”

"Besides, if we abandon them now, the enemy will surely plunder all their property."

"What's the difference between that and me personally killing these hundreds of thousands of people?"

Liu Bei's expression turned serious and he immediately denied it.

Although gangsters are cruel and ruthless, they are quite loyal and virtuous.

No matter what, Liu Ge's posthumous title is Zhaolie.

If he does not have the corresponding virtues, he would not deserve this temple name.

You can criticize Brother Liu's ability, criticize Brother Liu for awakening late, and criticize Brother Liu for holding many people back.

However, the reason he was able to survive in troubled times, achieve great things, and have so many people follow him wholeheartedly was not only because of his succubus physique, but also because of his personal charm.

"Lord!"

Zhuge Liang was moved.

Abandoning the people at this time is undoubtedly the best choice.

Zhuge Liang even believed that if Cao Cao, Sun Ce or any other prince were in Liu Bei's position, they would choose to abandon the people in order to preserve the army.

"Please teach me, military advisor!"

"Otherwise, Liu Bei would rather die before the people."

Liu Bei was moved and asked Zhuge Liang for advice sincerely.

"Please teach me, military advisor!"

After consulting Zhuge Liang, he looked at Xu Shu again.

His IQ is limited and he can't think of a good solution.

The only two advisers he could rely on were these two.

I just hope I can help him get through his current predicament.

"it is good!"

"If the Lord still trusts me."

"My lord, please abandon half of the army's baggage and leave it on the road. It would be best if you could distribute some of the food and fodder."

Zhuge Liang said the word "good" heavily, and then said.

"Yunchang, Yide, listen to my orders."

"Order that half of the general's baggage be dumped in the middle of the road. Use swords and spears to pierce the sacks, revealing the rations, armor, and arrows inside."

Liu Bei did not hesitate at all and immediately gave orders to Guan and Zhang.

"Big Brother!!"

"Oh, yes!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt a little painful, but they still agreed.

The Liu Bei who called them second brother and third brother was not scary, but the Liu Bei who called them by their courtesy names was what they feared the most.
