Liu Bei, who was in Luoyang, immediately went to see Liu Xie after receiving the news from Tai Shici.

He is now one of the guards of the Nine Qings, responsible for guarding the palace gate, and is regarded as a dependant by Liu Xie.

Liu Bei can see Liu Xie almost at any time.

Even if Liu Xie was sleeping, he would get up immediately when he learned that Liu Bei asked to see him.

Although he lost Xuzhou, Liu Bei is still quite satisfied with the current situation.

First of all, he has achieved his goal of guaranteeing, and he is now listed in the royal family tree and is the imperial uncle of Liu Xie.

And he is now a guard lieutenant, although his status is not as good as Guo Yan, a hussar general.

But as long as Liu Bei is given three months, Liu Bei is confident that he will get rid of Guo Yan and then take over the 30,000 Xiliang army in Guo Yan's hands.

Then he can gain a foothold in Guanzhong.

Losing a Xuzhou, but being able to get a Guanzhong, this deal is obviously more cost-effective for Liu Bei.

But now Cao Cao has broken through the Qingniu Pass.

Liu Bei was confident that he would deal with Guo Yan and the others in the court.

But if Cao Cao arrived, Liu Bei did not have the confidence to compete with Cao Cao for power.

He only has a thousand soldiers in his hands now, even if he adds Guo Yan's 30,000 Xiliang army, but behind Cao Cao is the entire Yanzhou.

If Cao Cao transferred all the tens of thousands of troops in Yanzhou to Luoyang, Liu Bei would not be Cao Cao's opponent.

Now the court in Luoyang is very beneficial to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei doesn't want anyone to get involved.

"Hussar General."

After meeting Liu Xie, Liu Bei came to Guo Yan's military camp in person.

And Zhang Fei, naturally, never left an inch and always followed Liu Bei.

It's just that Zhang Fei's face is not good-looking.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei already knew that Guan Yu had been captured by Cao Cao.

And he also knew that Guan Yu had surrendered to Cao Cao.

There is very little news about Guan Yu's surrender, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei still don't know about the agreement between Guan Yu and Cao Cao.

Guan Yu is arrogant, even if he has three chapters of the law with Cao Cao, even if it is for Liu Bei's wife and concubine, he has to surrender to Cao Cao.

Guan Yu didn't bother to explain to others.

Unless it is explained to Liu Bei in person.

Moreover, with Liu Bei's wife and concubine, Guan Yu is not worried that he will be misunderstood by Liu Bei in the future.

After hearing the news of Guan Yu's surrender to Cao Cao, Liu Bei really didn't say anything.

Although Liu Bei doesn't care much about his wife and concubine, he will entrust his wife and concubine to Guan Yu, and when he leaves, he will hand over Xuzhou to Guan Yu, which is the greatest trust in Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu will betray, who else can Liu Bei trust now?

He didn't care about his wife and concubines, but others didn't. 、

Guan Yu, who is a righteous brother, has lost Xuzhou, so he naturally wants to help Liu Bei protect his wife and concubine.

If Liu Bei's wives and concubines were also in trouble, Guan Yu would really have no face to see Liu Bei.

But Zhang Fei is an acute child.

He didn't think about Guan Yu's last resort.

Zhang Fei wanted to rush to fight Guan Yu now, put the snake spear against Guan Yu's heart, and asked Guan Yu why he surrendered to Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao had sent Guan Yu last night, Tai Shi Ci really wouldn't have been so easy to get away.

Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao didn't want to close Yu so soon.

One is to give Guan Yu time to get used to, and the other is to make Guan Yu feel that no one is available in his hands.

Although Cao Cao now lacks the top generals in his hands, the first-class generals are a big handful.

"Lord Liu, why do you have time to come to me today?"

Guo Yan greeted him with a smile.

Now that he has taken over Li Wei's soldiers and horses, Guo Yan rarely goes to the imperial city again.

After all, he had gone too far with the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials before, and Guo Yan was still worried that someone would assassinate him.

However, for Liu Bei, Guo Yan still trusts him very much.

After all, during the contact with Liu Bei, the two sides have always been very harmonious, and Guo Yan did not feel Liu Bei's hostility towards him.

The point is that Liu Bei helped him get rid of Li Dao.

Although they are all Xiliang Army, in Guo Yan's heart, Li Dao is his big trouble.

Whether it is Li Dao or Guo Yan, they have always wanted to control the Xiliang Army alone.

They all think that the weakening of the Xiliang army is because of the other party.

If there is no other party, the Xiliang Army is only one person in charge, with unified opinions, and no internal friction, so why not.

"Hussar general, there is a battle report from the front, and Qingniu Pass has been lost." Liu Bei said.

"Ah, how could it be? With the support of Dong Cheng's 5,000 soldiers and horses, even if Cao Cao's strength is strong, how could he be broken in one day? Guo Yan couldn't believe it.

"Dong Cheng and Cao Cao were colluded, and they were discovered in advance by Tai Shi Ci, who first put Dong Cheng under house arrest, and then forced Dong Cheng to write a secret letter and send it to Cao Cao, wanting to lure Cao Cao into the customs."

"Then he ambushed in the pass, but the battle was unexpected, Cao Cao saw through it, and Tai Shi Ci was defeated." Liu Bei explained.

Tai Shici didn't hide it from him, and Liu Bei didn't hide it from Guo Yan now.

Cao Cao was their common enemy.

Liu Bei didn't want Cao Cao to enter Luoyang, and Guo Yan didn't want to either.

The more forces that enter Luoyang, the more chaotic the situation becomes.

There is no guarantee who will benefit in the end.

"Lord Liu, is there a way to repel Cao Cao?" Guo Yan asked.

"Tai Shi Ci has been defeated, if you want to block Cao Cao, I'm afraid you still need the power of a general, and now in this Luoyang City, only a general can stop Cao Cao." Liu Bei said.

A few days ago, he wanted to take 5,000 people from Guo Yan to Qingniu Pass to resist Cao Cao.

But now that Qingniu Pass has been lost, Liu Bei doesn't want to resist Cao Cao in person.

Cao Cao still has more than 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and if Liu Bei wants to block Cao Cao, he can't do it with a few thousand people.

And Guo Yan will definitely not give Liu Bei tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Even if he trusts Liu Bei very much now, the 30,000 Xiliang army in his hand is the foundation of Guo Yan's life, and it is impossible for him to hand it over and let Liu Bei decide his life and death.

It may even be that on his side, he handed over the 30,000 Xiliang army to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei only left on the front foot, and he was killed on the back foot.

Guo Yan would not hand over the military power to Liu Bei, but he also did not want to face Cao Cao himself.

It's easy to say that there is a Qingniu Pass, but the Qingniu Pass has been breached.

Even if Guo Yan and 30,000 Xiliang troops can block Cao Cao, the casualties will definitely not be small.

According to Guo Yan's estimate, if he collided with Cao Cao, even if he won, the 30,000 Xiliang army would be at least half lost.

And there is also the possibility of losing, then there is nothing.

Although Liu Bei didn't say it explicitly, Guo Yan had already understood, but he really didn't want to resist Cao Cao.

Liu Bei also saw Guo Yan's hesitation, and continued: "Hussar general, Your Majesty has issued several edicts to Cao Cao to return to Yanzhou, but Cao Cao ignored it, and now he has played the slogan of the Qing monarch, if Cao Cao is allowed to enter Luoyang, you and I may all die at the hands of Cao Cao." ”

"This ......" Guo Yan still hesitated, if he couldn't do anything, he actually wanted to return to Chang'an with soldiers and horses.

Although he took over the Xiliang Army, Guo Yan is not Dong Zhuo in the end, and he is far inferior to Dong Zhuo in terms of courage and ability.

There is ambition in the heart, but when it encounters difficulties and dangers, it will be shaken and want to retreat.
