Qin He's hunch was right.

Five days, just five days, the new emperor who succeeded to the throne made Li Chuang feel deeply powerless.

And this is without spending a single soldier.

The starting point was Liu Biao's 150,000 troops who had defected from the Shun army and were entrenched in the Tianjin Guard, where they were unable to advance or retreat.

Originally, Li Chuang had nearly 600,000 troops near Gyeonggi, which was a mighty and arrogant force.

However, the death of Liu Zongmin triggered the defection of Liu Biao from Beijing with an army of 150,000 capable soldiers.

Then Li Chuang was tricked by Cao's uncle and nephew, and he destroyed the 200,000 soldiers and horses besieging Bazhou.

After all this trouble, Li Chuang only had 200,000 people left in his hands.

The situation is even more ugly. The three directions of north, south and east are either enemies, or there is no distinction between friend and foe.

In front of him is a fortified city defended by hundreds of thousands of people with all their might. The former prince even ascended the throne as emperor in the city.

Let alone being aggressive at this time, self-protection is almost becoming a problem.

But at this time, something worse happened.

A piece of news came back from Xi Zuo, who was lurking in Liu Biao's army.

The little Emperor Huang Mao, who had just ascended the throne a few days ago, actually sent a team of eunuchs to secretly arrive at Liu Biao's military camp. Liu Biao was named the Commander-in-Chief of the Shaanxi-Gansu Army, the Right Commander-in-Chief, and a first-rank official. All the generals under Liu Biao were also rewarded.

The most important thing is not that the young emperor gave Liu Biao any official title, but that Liu Biao and others accepted the imperial edict, and the team of eunuchs safely left Liu Biao's military camp and returned to the capital.

Good guy.

For Li Chuang, the most terrifying thing happened.

Liu Biao surrendered to Li, and the color of the 150,000-strong army changed!

The situation suddenly became precarious, and it couldn't be worse.

Li Chuang could no longer sit still, and Song Xiance kept blowing cold wind on the side. That night, Li Chuang hurriedly ordered the entire army to withdraw from camp and go west.

He ran away immediately.

If we don't escape, Gyeonggi will become an iron barrel.

The three directions of northeast and south are full of enemies. The only direction for his withdrawal is the west, which is blocked by the Taihang Mountains. To retreat to the Shanxi-Shaanxi Passage, he must pass through the Juyong Pass.

What's terrible is that the general at this pass is a surrendered general from the Li Dynasty.

If the news reaches Juyong Pass and the Li Dynasty surrenders its generals but then rebels again, he will really become a turtle in the urn.

There was no reason why Li Chuang was not in a hurry.

As long as the green hills remain, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood.

Li Chuang has seen too many strong winds and waves. He was beaten so many times that he almost ran away alone. What happened?

No matter how miserable the defeat is, Li Chuang can make a comeback.

And now, he still has 200,000 soldiers and horses.

There are more than 200,000 troops in the southern expedition, including half of the country in the east.

It is still unclear who will win and who will lose.

So with this plan in mind, it only took Li Chuang two days to cross Juyong Pass and return to the land of Shanxi and Shaanxi where he made his fortune.

…

The view returns to Liu Biao's side.

Liu Biao was actually confused. When he got up from the beauty's nest early in the morning, one of his subordinates said that he had captured a group of eunuchs and that they were envoys sent by Dali. M.

Liu Biao ran over and took a look. They were really a group of eunuchs. Not only did they come, but they also came with an imperial edict, directly making him the commander-in-chief, regardless of whether Liu Biao wanted to or not.

Liu Biao almost went crazy at that time.

By the way, you don't have to do any foreplay when you're trying to surrender, just let me breathe, wink or something like that.

I don’t even know you, so you come up when you come?

Isn't that too rough?

Liu Biao wanted to resist at that time. I don’t want to lose face, so I will come on as soon as I come?

But when he thought of his situation, he hesitated again.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Chuang to accept him. To the north is the Dali border army, to the south is Shen Lian, and to the east is the vast ocean.

In a word, it is difficult to advance and it is difficult to retreat, and nothing will happen.

Unable to make up his mind, he accepted the imperial edict and summoned his generals to discuss it.

As a result, this discussion almost ended in a fight.

There were great differences among the generals. Some thought this was an opportunity and could take advantage of it.

Some thought it was a trap. Their side had a blood feud with Dali, and those who first broke into the palace and forced Chongzheng to death were their own troops.

Dali's surrender was absolutely not sincere and he will be liquidated in the future.

As a result, while they were discussing, the eunuch team ran away.

At first, everyone thought they were timid and scared, and laughed at them for being eggless castrates, without thinking much about it.

Two days later, jaw-dropping news came.

Emperor Shun actually led his people to evacuate the capital overnight!

He not only withdrew, but also sent a letter to denounce their eighteen generations of ancestors angrily: "You and other rebellious ministers and traitors would rather defect to Dali than to me. You are really the scum of the rebel army. When I return to Shaanxi and Gansu, I will definitely hunt you down."

Ancestral graves.”

When Liu Biao and others saw this, they suddenly realized.

Something bad happened, I fell into a trap.

Divorce plan!!

When that team of eunuchs entered their military camp with the imperial edict and escaped unscathed, whether they surrendered or not, it was just like mud falling into their crotches, which was either shit or shit.

Good guy.

Emperor Shun's run was complete.

There isn't even a safe point on the flank.

Li troops were present on all sides, and all the cities that had surrendered to Dashun were all surrendered anyway. The only pass that retreated to Shanxi and Shaanxi was now firmly in the hands of Shun troops.

If Emperor Shun could let himself go, he would be seeing a ghost.

So the situation became: either surrender to Dali, fight to the death and fight their way out of the siege, or go to the sea to feed the fish.

Liu Biao hesitated for a few days and then gritted his teeth.
Chapter completed!
