Chapter 476: Liu Bei's death

Yuzhang

Gu Yi's Grand Camp.

The civil and military officials gathered here, discussing the pre-battle deployment to eliminate Liu Bei.

Looking at the civil and military officials arguing heatedly, Gu Yi stretched and smiled:

"Everyone, it looks like you all have different ideas for this battle."

"But actually, it doesn't matter how this battle is fought."

"This Prime Minister only has one requirement."

"Capture Liu Bei alive or kill him!"

"If, because of someone's negligence, Liu Bei is allowed to escape with his life, this Prime Minister will definitely punish you without leniency!"

Gu Yi's tone was very calm,

but the civil and military officials heard the faint murderous intent within it.

They could not help but lower their heads in fear.

Although Gu Yi was approachable on ordinary days,

no one among the civil and military officials in the army dared not take what Prime Minister Gu said to heart.

After all,

if one did not listen to what Prime Minister Gu said,

the outcome would be very miserable!

And for Gu Yi, who knew Liu Bei's ability to run away very well,

if Liu Bei were to escape, all the efforts made in the southern campaign up to now would be declared in vain.

For such a result, Gu Yi naturally could not accept it.

Therefore,

no matter how the generals intended to fight this battle, the core was just one: absolutely do not allow Liu Bei to escape with his life!

However,

something unexpected by everyone soon appeared.

Two scouts rushed from outside the camp and reported:

"Reporting to all lords,"

"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are leading approximately thirty thousand soldiers and are currently attacking in the direction of our army's grand camp!"

As the words fell,

everyone's faces showed surprise.

Under the circumstances where the military strength of both sides was so disparate, Liu Bei actually dared to lead the army to take the initiative and attack.

Was this not seeking death?

Subsequently, Fa Zheng was the first to stand out and analyze:

"Everyone, it looks like this scoundrel Liu Bei intends to jump over the wall like a dog in desperation."

"With the thirty thousand troops under his command, it is fundamentally impossible to defeat our army."

"But he still chose to do so."

"The reason is nothing more than wanting to forcibly break through our army's encirclement to escape this place."

"Or, taking advantage of the chaos of war, lead the elite troops to break out of the encirclement."

Hearing this, the military generals in the tent all revealed looks of disdain.

Want to escape?

Don't even look at how much you weigh!

From the moment Yuzhang was captured by Gu Yi's army, it had completely declared Liu Bei's end of the road.

The six commanderies of Jiangdong, although connected to each other,

if one wanted to leave the six commanderies of Jiangdong to head to the outside world, only two options remained.

The first option was to head north and capture Niuzhu.

The second option was to head south and break through Yuzhang.

These two, no matter which one, were already impossible tasks for the current Liu Bei army.

The four words "end of the road" were the best summary of the situation Liu Bei was currently facing.

"My lord, this general requests to go to battle; I will definitely take Liu Bei's head for you!"

The naturally forthright Gan Ning was the first to request to go.

Following closely behind, great generals like Gao Shun, Su Fei, Pang De, Zhang He, and Zhang Ren all took the initiative to stand out and request battle.

Looking at this scene of the generals actively requesting battle,

Gu Yi smiled and raised his hand, saying:

"Since you all have the heart to go to battle, you may lead your troops to meet the enemy yourselves."

"But this Prime Minister still says the same thing."

"If you let Liu Bei run away and make the handsome reader lords who read this book unhappy, this Prime Minister will hold you accountable!"

The generals hurriedly lowered their heads, promising Gu Yi that they would definitely capture Liu Bei alive or kill him on the spot!

And after the generals left the tent one after another,

Gu Yi also brought Fa Zheng, Chen Gong, and others outside.

Today, this net cast against Liu Bei,

Gu Yi naturally would not allow even a tiny bit of error to appear.

He would not be like Cao Cao in original history, who, for the sake of some so-called bullshit reputation, hesitated and dared not make up his mind to kill Liu Bei.

As the person with the hardest fist in the world,

Gu Yi did not need to fear problems regarding reputation.

In any case, history books are written by the victors.

And Gu Yi firmly believed that he would be the one to laugh last.

Before that, he would eliminate all hostile forces one by one.
