Compared with Jiangdong, Liu Bei has no stable territory to recruit soldiers.

Compared with Cao Jun, Liu Bei is not so powerful.

They are all defections. If Liu Bei loses something similar to faith, where would famous officials go to Liu Bei's place? They would definitely find another job.

In this way, Liu Bei really has no choice.

Cao Pi hastily cupped his hands and said:

"Sir, you really have a good plan!"

At this time, Liu Bei was at the office.

Ma Teng and others urged Liu Bei eagerly:

"Brother Xuande! What are you thinking? There must be an attack right now!"

"I am also extremely distressed that these soldiers have fallen into the enemy's hands, but how can there be no casualties in war?"

"It will be good to settle down with their parents at that time!"

Seeing that Liu Bei was still silent, Han Sui was also a little anxious:

"This is our only chance!"

"Once I miss this opportunity, and when Cao Cao returns to defend Xuchang, then we will really be unable to defeat Xuchang!"

Zhuge Liang also advised:

"My lord, General Ma Teng is right! Think twice about my lord!"

Liu Bei thought for a long time.

At this time, Liu Bei didn't know the importance of capturing Xuchang.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei closed his eyes, stopped looking at the soldiers waiting to be slaughtered, and murmured:

"What you said is correct. I am waiting to attack Xuchang this time to fight against the traitors who usurped the country, and to save the emperor and the fire and water."

"Compared with the emperor, what are the gains and losses of Liu Bei alone?"

Hearing this, Ma Teng was suddenly overjoyed.

What Liu Bei meant, obviously agreed to attack!

Without further ado, Ma Teng drew his sword and went straight ahead:

"Brothers, rush to me!"

At this moment, Bai Feng not far away spoke again:

"It's a good one to save the emperor, are you sure you didn't come to kidnap the emperor?"

"In order to protect the emperor from your cruel hands, I have already moved the emperor out of the city when you attacked the city, and he should have arrived in Chang'an by now."

"Even if you capture this Xuchang, you can never hope to get the emperor!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's originally closed eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Bai Feng in disbelief.

The Son of Heaven was withdrawn, when did it happen?

Suddenly, Liu Bei remembered.

When attacking on the second day, all the troops were concentrated at the north gate at the beginning.

At that time, the other three gates of Xuchang were completely unguarded!

In this way, there is indeed a free period to withdraw the emperor!

Miscalculated!

Seeing that Ma Teng was about to rush up, Liu Bei quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"Brother Xuande, what is the meaning of this?!"

Ma Teng was already a little annoyed when Liu Bei stopped him several times and refused to let him attack.

A big man, attack as soon as possible, why are you still hesitating, mother-in-law? !

As a native of Xiliang, Ma Teng, who only knows how to conquer the city and find a home to survive, would think so much like Liu Bei?

Liu Bei understood at this time that Xuchang City might not be able to be attacked.

Xuchang without an emperor is an abandoned city.

Although Xuchang is rich and rich, and it is the place where Cao Cao started his family.

But what good is that?

Without the Son of Heaven, could the fighting spirit of Cao Cao and his soldiers fade away by capturing Cao Cao's hometown?

This time to attack Xuchang, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang originally thought that they would hold the emperor in their hands.

As long as the emperor is in hand, no matter how angry Cao Cao is, he would not dare to attack Xuchang rashly.

Because by then, Cao Cao will truly be an unjust teacher!

Originally, Cao Cao was called a traitor, who coerced the emperor to command the princes. This is why Liu Bei dared to attack Xuchang, where the emperor is located!

So Liu Bei dared to abandon his long-standing reputation. Even if he didn't save these soldiers, as long as he got the emperor, he would be a controversial teacher.

At that time, it will be considered that the great cause will be accomplished!

Without the emperor, no matter how I say it, I can no longer lose my reputation.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei stopped Ma Teng.

"General Shoucheng! This Xuchang cannot be attacked!"

As Liu Bei spoke, he looked at several soldiers, and a few tears fell down impressively.

This time it is for the sake of the emperor, Ma Teng cannot let Ma Teng know this, nor can he let his soldiers know!

These soldiers in front of him are the best excuse.

"Liu Xuande! I really misread you!"

Ma Teng's veins were bulging at this moment, and he shouted angrily:

"These soldiers are my Xiliang sergeants. To die for a great cause is not in vain. None of my Xiliang sergeants is afraid of death!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he didn't have the slightest intention of giving in:

"General Shoucheng, but that is a living human life!"

Ma Teng was so angry that he didn't know what to say. At this moment, Ma Teng wished he could kill Liu Bei.

But looking at the three people beside Liu Bei, Guan, Zhang and Zhao, Ma Teng still couldn't make a move.

This is not something you can do by yourself.

If he really took action against Liu Bei now, the Xiliang Army would inevitably start a war with the 30,000 Liu Bei Army.

Although the Xiliang army is powerful, most of them are recruits, and their actual combat experience is far inferior to Liu Bei's men.

Moreover, Liu Bei still has three generals whose combat strength is almost at the ceiling level. If he kills Liu Bei, how can he withstand the anger of these three people!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ma Teng laughed back angrily, and said with a sneer:

"Liu Xuande, you remember your choice today, from now on we will cut off our friendship! Don't regret it!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Teng turned his head on his horse, gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice:

"withdraw!"

All the Xiliang soldiers were dumbfounded.

What's happening here?

Isn't Xuchang already captured? Why did you suddenly withdraw your troops?

The meat is up to your mouth, let's go?

But since it was Ma Teng's order, these soldiers dared not obey, and hurriedly left the city by the same route.

"Bai Feng, I have withdrawn the troops, you should release these soldiers quickly!"

Liu Bei looked at Bai Feng coldly and shouted in a low voice.

The goal has been achieved, and Bai Feng is not a bloodthirsty person. After all the Xiliang troops who entered Xuchang left, Bai Feng ordered the sergeants to let the soldiers go.

"My lord! Why do you..."

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei helplessly, not knowing what to say.

Although Liu Bei's move ruined his great cause, how could Zhuge Liang not understand what Liu Bei was thinking.

If you can't get the emperor, what's the use of getting Xuchang?

The two Guan and Zhang on the side only sighed slightly, without saying a word.

The eldest brother is benevolent and righteous, and both of them know it. Even if the eldest brother really gave up on Xu Chang, the two can only follow behind.

Is it wrong for people to have a heart of benevolence and righteousness?

"Brother, you are hurting yourself!"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help curling his lips and said.

Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said:

"Sometimes, there are more important things than winning!"

"Brother!"

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei firmly.

Bai Feng, who stood on the city wall and watched the army leave, couldn't help but praise Liu Bei's acting skills, which were really superb.
