Chen Deng said angrily: "Lord, you are not merciful, even if you hold Xuzhou, the lord still only has Xinye Town, and he still looks at the eyes of others, since this is the case, why should he die for Yuan Shao." ”

"Besides, even if the lord agrees, the three generals will not agree, and the three armies who follow the lord will not agree, please think twice."

Listening to these righteous words, Yuan Shao's envoy's face felt hot, if it weren't for the order, he would have left long ago.

When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly aggravated his voice and scolded: "Enough, in this new field, I, Liu Bei, can still call the shots, I have made up my mind, and I will do my best to help with 5,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Seeing Liu Bei like this, Chen Deng was frightened and didn't dare to say more, and Yuan Shao's envoy, seeing that the goal was achieved, immediately got up and thanked him, wanting to say goodbye and leave, so as not to be embarrassed here.

"Uncle Liu Huang pays so much attention to the overall situation, and he has thanked my lord in advance in the next generation, and when the war is over, he will give him a generous gift."

Liu Bei's face was still angry, and he looked at Yuan Shao's envoy and said: "It's just a trivial matter, there is no need to thank you, but the mobilization of the army will take time, and I hope that the envoy will rest in the mansion for a few days, and when the time is set, I will go back to Qiqi." ”

Yuan Shao's envoy arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then I will disturb for a few days." ”

"It doesn't matter." Liu Bei said politely, called out to the people outside the door, and led Yuan Shao's envoy to rest.

As soon as Yuan Shao's envoy left, Liu Bei and Chen Deng glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

The scene just now was deliberately shown by them, just to show Yuan Shao's envoy, and he Liu Bei sent troops to resist everyone's opposition, so as to make some demands to Yuan Shao.

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" laughed wildly, Chen Deng couldn't help coughing, and his face turned red.

Seeing Chen Deng like this, Liu Bei asked nervously, "Yuanlong is fine, right?" ”

Chen Deng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, maybe I feel the wind chill occasionally, which makes the lord worried." ”

In the past few days, Chen Deng has always felt unwell, and the doctor he saw couldn't check anything, but it got worse day by day, and he even coughed up blood recently.

In order not to worry Liu Bei, Chen Deng did not tell the matter, and even the subordinates in the house had an explanation that could not be leaked.

But Liu Bei is not a fool, he has one or two chess pieces in the homes of his subordinates, which is a precaution.

Seeing that Chen Deng was concealing, Liu Bei said: "Yuanlong, you are unwell, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible, if there is no good doctor, I will help you find it." ”

Chen Deng shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, it may be fine in a few days, and there is no need to make such a big move." ”

In fact, Liu Bei had been secretly looking for a famous doctor, but this Jingzhou, and even all the famous doctors in the vicinity, were rare and difficult to find.

Because they all went to the north, since Li Huiyi asked Zhang Zhongjing to conduct medical exchanges in the north, the medical skills of major doctors in the north flew in for a while.

At the exchange meeting that was gathered for the first time, because of the lack of personnel, Li Huiyi recruited many walking langzhong, and these people benefited a lot after participating, and their medical skills were also further improved.

When they left the north to travel the world, they also added fuel and vinegar to the publicity of this special experience, and naturally, those doctors were itchy and wanted to participate.

Nowadays, the medical exchange conference has become more and more formal, and everyone who participates must take the exam in advance and pass the invitation.

And as the leader is Zhang Zhongjing, who has become a highly respected chairman of the people, and he is busy every day.

As for the doctors, they have all been handed over to a few closed disciples, who are concentrating on these and studying some good medicines for the army.

Getting back to the point, Liu Bei saw that Chen Deng was hiding and didn't say anything, so he opened the topic and said, "Yuanlong, what do you want from Yuan Shao?" ”

Hearing the inquiry, Chen Deng thought for a while and said, "Lord, what do you say is the most precious thing now?" ”

Liu Bei looked curious, but still replied: "Of course, it is all military supplies such as soldiers and horses, city pools, grain and grass." ”

"Hmm." Chen Deng nodded and said: "Yes, but the lord has forgotten the origin, all of this is based on the population." ”

"Xuzhou City, that's a piece of hot taro, don't do it, as for military supplies such as grain and grass, presumably Yuan Shao can't take it out, it's better to ask for some people."

"Hmm." Liu Bei's eyes rolled slightly, nodded and said, "Reasonable, what Yuanlong means, how many people should I ask Yuan Shao?" ”

Chen Deng replied without thinking: "Five thousand households, since our army sent five thousand troops, it should not be too much to ask for these, presumably Yuan Shao will also agree." ”

5,000 households, no more, no less, Liu Bei will not suffer, Yuan Shao can also take it out, after all, if Xuzhou is lost, no matter how many people there are, it will be in vain.

"Okay." Liu Bei thought for a while, and said in agreement: "Then where is Liu Biao, do you want to give a signal, after all, the army is mobilized, and there is a lot of grain and grass needed." ”

Liu Bei meant that he wanted to take some benefits from Liu Biao, after all, he is still a member of Liu Biao now.

Moreover, supporting Xuzhou is also beneficial for Jingzhou, and it doesn't make much sense for Liu Bei, but it's not a bad thing, it's dispensable.

Liu Bei can use this to train those invisible armies, let them experience actual combat, improve their combat power, but they can also find a new place to stay temporarily, anyway, it is not that they have not experienced the days of wandering.

Chen Deng followed Liu Bei overnight, so he naturally understood the meaning of this, and immediately replied: "It's okay, presumably Yuan Shao also asked him for help." ”

"The lord gave him a gift in advance, and he also gave Liu Mianzi, presumably he would give some grain and grass."

"Hmm." Now that it has been decided, Liu Bei began to ask who to send to lead the troops. "Everything is ready, and there is a lack of a leading general, in the opinion of Mr., who can lead the army?"

Under Liu Bei, now that talents are scarce, there are few people who can take a shot, if Zhang Fei is allowed to go, no one will restrain him, I am afraid that he will miss a big thing.

After thinking about it, Chen Deng suggested: "How about the two Mizhu brothers, these two have been following the lord for a long time, and they are from Xuzhou, so they must be able to act conveniently." ”

Ermi is from the Xuzhou clan, and he can be said to know Xuzhou very well, so that they can lead the troops and prevent some hidden dangers, Chen Deng can be described as well-intentioned.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "It's okay, let them lead the army and accumulate some experience, which will be of great use in the future." ”

After some discussion, the two sent people to Nanyang to ask Liu Biao, on the other hand, they began to prepare for military affairs, so as not to let Yuan Shaoduo wait.

In the lobby of Liu Biao's office in Nanyang, at this time, all the officials gathered, and you and I were arguing word by word, and I knew that something big had happened at a glance.

"Knock knock knock......" Liu Biao, the upper position, looked at the people with different opinions, and knocked on the dark table in front of him helplessly. Okay, okay, it's noisy, what's the use, the problem can't be solved. ”
