Chapter 489
"Don't believe it, it's all fake!"
Liu Bei shouted anxiously.
But no one responded.
The soldiers in the camp had long lost any fighting spirit, let alone any reason to fight.
The soldiers now wanted to join the new government in Xia Pi City.
"I'm not going to Tang Hai, why would I mess around with a big-eared thief like you!"
Some soldiers couldn't help but curse.
"Tang Hai?" Liu Bei froze on the spot.
The shouting voice suddenly fell silent.
A huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.
"How could it be..."
"How could it be?"
Liu Bei looked at the wall of Xia Pi City with wide eyes, and he couldn't believe the news spread by the soldiers no matter what.
While he was stunned, the soldiers in the camp ran out frantically.
The generals of Xuzhou didn't dare to stop them.
The soldiers ran in groups, their eyes red.
It seemed that if the general said no, he would be chopped into meat paste by the soldiers who rushed over.
"It's over."
Guan Chun looked at the large number of soldiers who ran out of the camp and rushed towards Xiapi City, and a feeling of collapse emerged in his heart.
"Lord, Lord!"
After shouting several times in a row and pulling hard, Liu Bei was finally brought back from his daze.
"The soldiers collapsed, and there is no way now."
"Hurry up and find a way to retreat!"
"Don't sink, Lord!"
Guan Chun advised strongly.
Liu Bei took a deep breath.
The reality in front of him forced him to accept it.
He once again raised his estimate of Tang Hai's strength.
He actually took Xuzhou without making a sound.
While being in Luoyang, he was able to send troops to Xuzhou.
Such a cognition made Liu Bei once again deeply feel the gap between him and Liu Yu.
Like a chasm, it made him feel his own insignificance.
Originally, he thought that he became the governor of a state, and the gap with the other party was narrowed to the difference of military preparation.
But now Liu Bei suddenly realized.
It turned out that he was not the opponent of the other party at all.
And Liu Yu never took him seriously.
With a little arrangement, he easily captured Xuzhou.
Such a result made Liu Bei extremely uncomfortable.
"... Retreat first."
Liu Bei spoke the order with difficulty.
His voice became hoarse, and it seemed that a huge stone was blocking his chest.
It made him feel heavy.
After retreating a long distance, Liu Bei found that there were only a few military generals and some personal soldiers around him.
Not even a hundred people could be gathered.
From the governor of a state who led tens of thousands of soldiers, he suddenly fell to such a situation, which made Liu Bei difficult to accept for a while.
Sitting on a big rock in the wilderness, his nose was sore and tears fell like rain.
"My lord, don't be discouraged." Guan Chun stood up and comforted him.
"Tang Hai is so cunning that it is hard to guard against him."
"The people are too stupid to be deceived by Tang Hai."
"There will be a time for regret."
"My lord, you should work harder now!"
Liu Bei felt better after Guan Chun's persuasion.
Looking around, he found that the eyes of several generals and personal soldiers were all focused on him.
Liu Bei raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
Standing up from the big rock, he said firmly: "Don't worry."
"I, Liu Xuande, was just feeling emotional for a moment."
"I will never sink into despair."
"What Tang Hai can do, why can't I, Liu Xuande, do it?"
"From now on, we must also improve our strength in the corresponding way."
Several generals were relieved to see that Liu Bei was not defeated.
Guan Chun asked: "Lord, what should we do now?"
"We can't go back to Xuzhou anymore."
"Lord, you need to make a quick decision on where to go."
Liu Bei lowered his head and pondered under the gaze of everyone.
The world is so big, but there are only two better places to go.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
These two are the strongest and have the best prospects among the many princes nowadays.
Yuan Shao?
Liu Bei shook his head.
After some contact outside Luoyang, he thought Yuan Shao was good at making plans but not making decisions.
He was very arrogant, but too vague when it came to doing things.
A typical case of high expectations and low skills.
He is indeed a rare master in court struggles.
But Yuan Shao is not good enough to compete with the princes with force.
What's more, he heard that Yuan Shao had a group of advisers and two extremely powerful generals.
Even if he went there, it would be difficult for him to get the status of helping in times of need.
He might not even be able to add icing on the cake.
Yuan Shu?
Liu Bei suddenly remembered that Yuan Shu had tried to win him over before.
Although Yuan Shu was a son of an aristocratic family, he was very arrogant.
But he had one advantage over Yuan Shao.
He was willing to delegate power.
As long as his subordinates could do things well, Yuan Shu would not ask for too much.
This was much better than Yuan Shao, who was suspicious and indecisive but wanted to interfere in everything.
Liu Bei made up his mind and said:"Let's go to Nanyang."
"With our strength and close unity, we will surely be able to regroup in Nanyang."
Several generals expressed their loyalty, which made Liu Bei regain some confidence.
As he led the team to move quickly westward, Liu Bei was always thinking about why he, who started from a similar point to Liu Yu, was always suppressed by the other party.
What ability did the other party have to develop Tanghai so well?
System.
Liu Bei thought of the first point.
The soldiers of Tanghai bravely moved forward and were fearless of death.
Although weapons and armor contributed to this, people's spirit was more important.
A strong body comes from sufficient food.
Liu Bei believed that spirit came more from high salaries.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards.
Such words emerged from Liu Bei's heart.
Let Liu Bei realize the necessary conditions for obtaining elite soldiers.
Another thing is that there are few people.
Although there are many soldiers from other princes.
But in terms of quality, it is not comparable to Tanghai.
Tanghai has few soldiers but they are extremely elite.
The small number can provide these soldiers with enough rations and pay.
A training strategy different from other princes quietly emerged in Liu Bei's heart.
Liu Bei, riding on a warhorse, turned around and looked.
The land of Xuzhou gradually disappeared from his sight.
He squinted his eyes and muttered in his heart.
I, Liu Xuande, will come back one day!
I will compete with you, Liu Yu!
…
The gates of Xiapi, Xuzhou, were wide open.
Liu Bei's soldiers were dispersed under the recruitment of Jia Xu and his men.
After breaking up with the Xuzhou soldiers who were originally left in the city, they were reorganized.
After eating a meal of Tanghai rations, Liu Bei completely disappeared from the hearts of the Xuzhou soldiers.
The two words Tanghai are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and can never be erased.
When the soldiers returned home, they learned that their families had been allocated land.
The rations issued by the government were enough for them to eat for a while.
With land, there is hope for the future.
The soldiers in Xuzhou deeply felt the kindness of Tang Hai's government.
They clamored to serve Tang Hai.
Jia Xu struck while the iron was hot.
According to Liu Yu's previous instructions, the military system of the entire Xuzhou was reformed.
A small number of soldiers were retained to train more elite professional soldiers.
The rest were implemented as soldiers for all.
They were divided into different levels such as middle-aged men, female soldiers, veterans, and child soldiers.
Different training was carried out accordingly.
With the blessing of various crossbows made by Tang Hai.
Even ordinary women still have considerable combat power.
The whole Xuzhou is full of vitality, and great progress is made every day.
