The book continued with the previous chapter, saying that Zhao Yun had come to Xuzhou alone to ask for reinforcements. This made Liu Bei very embarrassed. Not to mention that Gongsun Zan was his classmate, when he was down and out, he also relied on this person to take him in and recommend him to get the position of Prime Minister of Pingyuan. It was because of the position of Pingyuan Minister that he was able to save Beihai and aid Xuzhou, and finally climb to his current position. It was just that to start a war with Yuan Shao, his heart was really uneasy.
"Big brother, let Zilong go down and wash up first.”Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei was thinking hard and was afraid of neglecting Zhao Yun, so he hurriedly spoke. "Oh, that's right. Zilong, go wash up first. I'll discuss this with everyone." Oh right, and these two generals, please wash up.”Liu Bei came back to his senses and said to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yunzao saw more than a dozen people surrounding the hall and knew that they were Liu Bei's subordinates. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It hadn't been long, and Big Brother Liu Bei already had so many subordinates. It was really unexpected. When he heard Liu Bei say that he needed to discuss with the others, he thought it was only natural. He cupped his hands and followed the soldiers down. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao looked at Guan Yu. Seeing Guan Yu nod slightly, they followed the soldier down.
Turning around, Liu Bei said to everyone,""Gongsun Zan of Youzhou sent someone to ask me for help. What do you think?”"My lord, Youzhou is far from Xuzhou," Sun Qian said."It's thousands of miles away. How can we send troops to rescue them?"”Jian Yong also frowned." Yuan Shao has many soldiers and generals. It will be extremely difficult to save Gongsun Zan."”Zhang Fei said,"Xianhe is so disloyal. Gongsun Zan is my elder brother's friend, and he was once recommended by my elder brother. How can I not save him?" Brother, I am willing to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to cut off Yuan Shao's head and offer it to you.”
Liu Bei frowned." Third Brother, don't be rash. Let's wait for everyone to think of a foolproof plan."”"Big brother," Guan Yu said,"Gongsun Zan is our benefactor, so we have to save him. But if we want to save him, we will have to become enemies with Yuan Shao. Besides, Cao Cao's army has just retreated, and Yuan Shu has occupied Huainan. If the two armies attack at this time, our army will be in danger.”Liu Bei frowned even more.
At this time, Lu Bu also said,"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I am willing to lead 30,000 elite soldiers from Beihai to Le 'an, cross Jishui to the Yellow River, and take the Bohai Sea. Then Yuan Shao's army will certainly retreat. This is to surround Wei and save Zhao.”After saying that, Lu Bu looked at everyone with a smug expression.
Zhang Fei was about to say something when Yang Lei beat him to it and said,""Why don't you write a letter to Cao Cao, stating the gains and losses of Yuan Shao's unification of the north, and persuade him to send troops together? The two allied forces could fight Yuan Shao and save Lord Gongsun.”Liu Bei was delighted to hear this, but he immediately asked,""If Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao colluded with each other and sent troops to attack Xuzhou, what should we do?”
"Yuan Shu claimed to be the Emperor," said Yang Lei with a smile."He did not consult with Yuan Shao and became enemies with him. Moreover, the two of them had long been fighting for the throne, and they had long been like fire and water. If the two of them were in danger, they might be able to communicate. Now that the two of them were in their prime, they were willing to help others. Moreover, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui under Yuan Shu's account were killed in battle, and Ji Ling was the only general left. Your Majesty, if you can send a general to guard Xuzhou, it will naturally be fine.”Liu Bei nodded in agreement.
At this time, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuan Shao had already finished washing up. They changed their clothes and walked in. Everyone's eyes lit up. Zhao Yun was indeed a handsome man. With Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao as the background, he looked even more handsome. Even the anxiety that occasionally appeared between his brows was somewhat charming. Yang Lei admired it and muttered to himself. Fortunately, there were no women here. Otherwise, he would immediately become a crazy fan. Among everyone present, only Lu Bu could compare to him, but Wen Hou was obviously older. As for himself, Yang Lei consciously believed that he was indeed inferior. It was not because of anything else, but because he came from the future.
Seeing Zhao Yun arrive, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her back,""Don't worry, Zilong. However, I need to write a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to march with me in two directions. Only in this way can I save Brother Bogui.”When Zhao Yun heard this, she immediately bowed down and said,"Thank you, Envoy."”Liu Bei pulled him back, not letting him bow down. Instead, he laughed and said,""Zilong, you don't have to do this. I've already treated you as a brother. It's my duty for a big brother to help a little brother. Besides, Brother Bogui and I have a feeling of recommendation. Come, come, Zilong, let me introduce you to everyone.”As he spoke, he pulled everyone along and introduced them to Zhao Yun.
When Lu Bu was introduced, he only nodded slightly as a form of greeting. Liu Bei's expression did not change. When he introduced Yang Lei, Yang Lei smiled and said,""Lei has long heard of Fourth Brother's great name. Now that I've seen you today, I know that meeting you is better than hearing about you.”As he spoke, he was about to bow down.
Zhao Yun was stunned. She hurriedly grabbed Yang Lei's arm and stopped him from bowing. "Yuting is too polite." Zilong, this is my newly appointed fifth brother, Yang Lei and Yang Yuting. I also counted you in when I paid my respects. You are the fourth brother, and he is the fifth brother. How is it?" "Big brother, what should we do?" Zhao Yun was very excited.”
"Why are you so distant, Zilong?" Zhang Fei asked with a smile. But it's not what a real man should do." When Zhao Yun heard this, a smile appeared on her originally worried face. She pulled Yang Lei up and said,"Fifth brother, we must get closer in the future.”"You and I are brothers, so this is how it should be," said Yang Lei with a smile.”
When everyone saw this, they knew that regardless of whether they could save Gongsun Zan or not, Xuzhou would have another four generals in the future. Seeing this, Liu Bei was delighted and said,""I'm very happy to be reunited with Zilong today. Let's hold a banquet to celebrate. I hope everyone will accompany me." Everyone nodded in agreement. Even Lu Bu nodded slightly because of the change in Zhao Yun's status. Liu Bei personally wrote a letter to Cao Cao, and then held a banquet to celebrate.
Cao Cao's residence in Xu City. Cao Cao held the letter in his hand and smiled at everyone."Liu Bei wrote to me, asking me to march with him into Jizhou to attack Yuan Shao and rescue Gongsun Zan. What do you think?"
Xun Yu laughed and said,"Gongsun Zan is besieged in Yijing. He will soon be defeated by Yuan Shao. Liu Bei wanted to save Gongsun Zan, but he was afraid that Ming Gong would attack Xuzhou in vain, so he wrote this letter. If you don't send troops, Liu Bei won't dare to send troops. If the lord sends troops, Liu Bei's army will dare to move. However, Yanzhou is adjacent to Jizhou, and it is easy for your army to enter Jizhou. If Liu Bei wanted to attack Yuan Shao, he had to first capture Qingzhou. You might as well write a letter to Liu Bei first, pretending to send troops together with him to calm his heart. When Liu Bei's army enters Qingzhou, he will return to attack Xuzhou again and defeat it. After you break Xuzhou, Liu Bei will only have the North Sea. You can break it with a drum. Later, he defeated Yuan Shu again and occupied Yongzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou. At this time, Yuan Shao will occupy Jizhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou. In this way, our army will have a great victory.”
"Oh, Wen Ruo is right. However, Liu Bei was a hero. At this time, he had more than 100,000 troops and dozens of generals. Even if he led his troops to rescue Gongsun Zan, there would be generals left behind. In this way, Xuzhou is really difficult to conquer.”Cao Cao thought about the battle of Xu Prefecture that had just ended and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Xun Yu smiled and said,"If you don't take Xuzhou now, my lord, then Yuan Shao will unify Hebei in the future. He will inevitably compete with Yuan Shao for supremacy." At that time, Qingxu will be occupied by Liu Bei. If the lord wants to win, he will have to ally with Liu Bei.”
" Oh," Cao Cao frowned and looked at Guo Jia thoughtfully."Fengxiao, do you have any good ideas?"
" My lord," Guo Jia hurriedly replied when he saw Cao Cao's question,""I think Wen Ruo is right. If he pretended to send troops together with Liu Bei and returned to attack, it was very likely that he could break Xuzhou. In this way, once again sweep the southeast, the world has been more than half pacified. If he fought with Yuan Shao again, he would be able to gain the upper hand. However, if things didn't work out, Liu Bei would definitely bite back, and it would be a situation where both sides would suffer. If we fight with Yuan Shao again, our situation will be unfavorable. However, Guo Jia was a little hesitant.
"If Fengxiao has any good ideas, just say it.”Cao Cao was in high spirits when he heard this. Seeing Guo Jia hesitating, he hurriedly urged. "Yes, my lord. Liu Jia thought that if the Lord and Liu Bei made peace, he would be able to make peace. Then Yuan Shao will occupy Jizhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou, Liu Bei will occupy Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and you will occupy Yongzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou. In this way, the lord and Liu Bei would be able to defeat Yuan Shao. However, after defeating Yuan Shao, the situation would be extremely difficult to control. At that time, Liu Bei would definitely become a huge threat to the lord.”Cao Cao frowned.
"My lord," said one of them,"it would be better not to allow Liu Bei to write. At the same time, he issued an edict appointing one of his subordinates as the prefect of Shouchun and sent Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu. He also appointed Sun Ce as the herdsman of Yangzhou and ordered him to attack Yuan Shu. Look at the three sides fighting, the lord from the middle to take advantage of. How is it?" Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Looking over, it was Mao Jie, Mao Xiaoxian.
"My lord," said Xun You,"this plan is feasible. However, Sun Ce was ordered by the imperial edict, fearing that Liu Bei would not obey the edict.”Hearing this, Cao Cao hesitated for a long time before sighing,""If Yuan Shao unified Hebei, he would definitely lead his army south. That would be the time to decide who would be the king of the north. Before that, either we wipe out all the dukes near our army. Or we can turn all these dukes into allies of our army. This is really difficult."
Seeing Cao Cao sigh, Xu Chu stood up and said,"My lord, what's so difficult about this? Chu Yuan led 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Ye City and take Yuan Shao's head to present to the Lord.”"I know that Zhongkang is brave. Zhongkang, please sit down and calm down." Cao Cao smiled and comforted Xu Chu. "We'll use the plan of Emperor Xiaoxian. The emperor issued an edict to Liu Bei's grandson Sun Ce, ordering him to attack Yuan Shu. I wrote to Liu Bei again, saying that there was no food in the army and that it was impossible to attack Jizhou. In addition, Yuan Shu's rebels have not been eliminated, and the rear is difficult to stabilize. It is really difficult to march north of the Yellow River.”
Xuzhou Tancheng Cishi Mansion. Liu Bei held the letter in his hand, his heart filled with sorrow.
What was this? Yang Lei was a little confused. Could Cao Cao not see the disadvantage he would have after Yuan Shao unified Hebei? Even if he could not see it, could his second son, Cheng Yu, and Guo Jia not see it? Also, who came up with this stupid idea to attack Yuan Shu? Last time, she didn't kill him with a stick, and this time, she used him as an excuse. Are you here to watch us fight?
If he didn't, Cao Cao would have an excuse. If he did, Gongsun Zan would really be finished, even though he didn't have many days to live. The generals and civil officials were also at a loss, not knowing what Cao Cao meant. Without food, were Cao Cao's troops just for show? Afraid of Yuan Shu? Bah, Yuan Shu was like a mouse that saw a cat when he saw Cao Cao. He couldn't even hide. What was he planning? Oh right, he even made Guan Yu the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion and the prefect of Shouchun. He was trying to drive a duck away.
He still lacked a strategist. Yang Lei paced back and forth in the courtyard in annoyance. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, he didn't know which one could be used now. He couldn't help but raise his head and let out a long sigh. At this moment, he felt a chill on his face. The sky was white, and it was snowing. Forget it, there was no need to send out this army.
