A Passionate Backstab from an Ally! (Evaluation votes)
Yuzhou, Huaibei, Xiangxian County.
Many temporary military camps stood outside the city.
The number of tents alone was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers.
On the flag fluttering in the camp, the word 'Liu' was written.
In the commander's tent of the main camp, Uncle Liu, who was almost forty years old.
He was sitting on the main seat, his second brother Guan Yu, Mi Fang and the other generals were beside him.
On the right were Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Mi Zhu.
He stroked his beard and looked a little proud.
After wandering for half his life, he had finally made a comeback in Xuzhou.
After accepting Tao Qian's position as Xu Prefecture Overseer, he had the support of Chen Deng, Chen Qun, and the others.
The number of soldiers under his command had also increased by leaps and bounds. It could be said to be the proudest moment of his life.
The only flaw was that there were too few capable people under him.
Chen Deng, Chen Qun, and the like were all famous families in Xu Prefecture and had long been deeply rooted.
To put it bluntly, even if a pig ascended to the position of Xu Prefecture Overseer.
The few of them would also assist him wholeheartedly and not be loyal to someone.
The goal of their loyalty would always be their own family and Xu Prefecture.
Regarding this, Liu Bei had no other way.
On the contrary, after Lu Bu's arrival, the situation in Xu Prefecture became even stranger.
This time, Yuan Shu overstepped his authority and proclaimed himself emperor, and sent his own troops to attack.
He had specially left his third brother, Zhang Fei, to lead the army to guard Xiapi.
Meanwhile, Lu Bu and Ji Ling, who was under Yuan Shu's command, were engaged in a fierce battle in the direction of the spirit wall.
He expected that there would not be too much of a mistake. Although his third brother usually drank as much as his life,
However, he was still quite calm when faced with major events.
"My lord, Zhang Xun, the general under Yuan Shu, has already led two hundred thousand soldiers into seven directions.”
"They attacked the surrounding towns of Xu Prefecture with the intention of conquering Xu Prefecture.”
"Xiang County is also within our attack range. At this moment, Han Xian and Yang Feng are leading 50,000 troops towards Xiang County.”
"We have to make preparations in advance to prevent any accidents.”
Jian Yong's words interrupted Liu Bei's train of thought.
He slowly collected his thoughts and pondered for a moment before asking,
"Lu Bu only has 20,000 Bing Province Wolf Cavalry under his command. I wonder if they can stop Zhang Xun's army.”
"Ai, I'm not worried about Han Xian and Yang Feng. Oh right, when will Cao Sikong's army arrive?”
"Humph."
Hearing Liu Bei's question, Guan Yu, who was sitting in the lower seat, couldn't help but grunt arrogantly.
"We fought with Yuan Shu outside Xu Prefecture for several months.”
"After conquering Wan City, you sent troops to attack.”
Hearing his second brother say this, Liu Bei frowned.
However, he didn't blame her. Instead, he said earnestly,
"Chief Yun, don't say that!"
"Sikong Cao was summoned by the emperor to exterminate Zhang Xiu. It is understandable.”
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu could only nod his head lightly.
Then, he stood up and cupped his fists. He said righteously,
"Don't worry, Big Brother. Those Han Xian, Yang Feng, and the like are just people who put up bids and sell their heads.”
"As long as they arrive at Xiang County, our army will wait for them and we will definitely be able to win.”
"As for these two thieves, they are just the souls of my subordinates!”
No one doubted Guan Yu's ability.
Hearing such arrogant words, they only nodded lightly, as if they were already used to it.
At this moment.
Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the tent, and then a scout rushed in.
His expression was slightly flustered as he said anxiously.
"Lord, bad news, bad news!”
"Hmm?"
Liu Bei asked in confusion.
"Why are you so flustered? Could it be that Han Xian and Yang Feng's army had already reached the outskirts of Xiang County?”
Guan Yu slowly stroked his beautiful beard and narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes.
"Oh, you came just in time. I was getting impatient.”
“........”
"No, it isn't."
At this moment, the scout panted heavily and calmed his breathing.
"No, it's, it's the rations in the rear of our army that were robbed!”
Hearing this news, Liu Bei couldn't help but be surprised.
He revealed a suspicious expression and turned to look at Mei Fang.
After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice,
"Oh, could it be the work of the bandits near Xu Prefecture?”
Guan Yu furrowed his brows and thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"Big brother's guess is very likely. Yuan Shu's army is gathered in the north of the Huai River.”
"If they were behind us, it's impossible for us to not have any news at all.”
On the other hand, Mei Zhu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The transportation of military rations was handled by his younger brother, Mi Fang.
Although Liu Bei said so, he knew in his heart,
Liu Bei just wanted to find a reason to cover it up and did not want to blame Mi Fang.
His face twitched slightly. He coughed twice and asked the scout,
"Did you see the clothes of the people who robbed the grain?”
Hearing Mei Zhu's question, the scout thought for a moment and replied hesitantly,
"This, I can see it clearly. It seems, seems to be.”
Seeing the hesitant look on the scout's face, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Hurry up and tell me, don't hesitate.”
"Yes, General Guan."
"From afar, this lowly one saw that they were dressed like Cao Cao's army. Moreover, they came from the direction of Qiao County. I believe that they should be Cao Cao's subordinates.”
"Cao Cao?"
Hearing this news, Liu Bei almost jumped up from his seat.
He clenched his fists and exclaimed in disbelief,
"How is that possible? Did you see wrongly?”
"This time, I responded to the emperor's call and sent troops to attack Yuan Shu together. How could he cut off my food supply behind my back?”
Everyone looked puzzled when they heard this. No one could understand.
Why would Cao Cao choose to switch sides with Yuan Shu, who was already on the verge of death?
Wasn't he afraid of angering all the vassals in the world and being attacked by them?
Before everyone could recover from their shock, another scout quickly ran in from outside the tent.
"My lord, Yongcheng has been attacked by the Cao army."”
"The city has already been breached. General Chen Dao was stabbed under his horse in three moves and has been captured.”
"What? Chen Dao has been captured! Cao thief, you dare to sneak attack my granary!"
After hearing this news, Liu Bei could no longer sit still.
He quickly stood up and shouted,"Chief Yun, gather your men and follow me to Yong City immediately."”
"I want to see what Cao Cao is planning. He actually dares to bully me like this!”
