Xu Shu shook his head and said: "No, the current restoration of law and order in the two counties is the top priority, and only by recovering as soon as possible can the losses be reduced." ”

"Now is not the time to start a war, it is better to inform the lord of this matter first, and let the lord move some people to come and restore the livelihood of the people in the two counties."

Xu Shu's approach is safe, because pursuing Liu Bei, who has lost his way out, will be a vicious battle, and if it is not done well, both sides will be defeated.

Even if a little grain is recaptured, it will not be of much effect, not to mention that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao may send troops, then the two counties will be lost.

At Xu Shu's suggestion, Tai Shici began to release the list to calm the people, and allocated a batch of military rations to solve the problem of people's temperature protection and avoid riots.

After the situation settled down temporarily, Tai Shici transferred a large amount of grain from Qi County, and at the same time arranged the army on the Donglai front line to avoid Yuan Shao's sudden attack.

And Yuan Shao learned that Liu Bei had given the two counties to Tai Shi Ci, so he hurriedly deployed on the front line of Lang Evil, and moved the governance office to Pengcheng, for fear that Tai Shi Ci would come in one go.

But Yuan Shao was busy for a while, and found that Tai Shici did not move, so his uneasy heart slowly let go, but he still strictly ordered the defenders in front not to take it lightly.

Compared with Yuan Shao's fear, Cao Cao was indeed much more relaxed, Liu Bei gave 10,000 Jingzhuang, and Liu Xie 5,000, which can be said to have paid a great price for borrowing the way.

Since Liu Bei was in a hurry and wanted to leave, then naturally someone said that he wanted Cao Cao to intercept Liu Bei and occupy all this piece of fat.

But Cao Cao was indeed unusual, and refused with righteous words, without explanation, and left them to guess.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that the 15,000 soldiers and horses given by Liu Bei were all newly recruited, elite in the army, and there was no damage in the slightest.

As long as Liu Bei's retreat is intercepted, then it is conceivable that the two sides will definitely be a vicious battle, and there is no army behind the road, and the combat power is very terrifying for a while.

If you fight like this under the rule, I am afraid that if you want to recover, it will not take a long time, and it will be impossible.

In order to avoid the disobedience of the generals under his rule, Cao Cao also issued a death order, and anyone who innocently intercepted Liu Bei was punished by the three clans.

Cao Cao didn't want to fight with Liu Bei, who had no foundation, and his current focus was to quickly upgrade his strength.

In this way, Liu Bei's seventy or eighty thousand people slowly passed through Cao Cao's rule and went to join Zhang Fei and Chen Deng.

Zhang Fei and Chen Deng also ran into trouble at this time, and the battle between Ben and Yuan Shu had the upper hand, but they thought that Xuzhou would be occupied by Yuan Shao, which made them confused for a while.

Although Chen Deng hid the news in time, after a long time, the paper still couldn't contain the fire, and the news of Xuzhou's occupation began to spread in the army.

Hearing the news, these Xuzhou soldiers began to discuss with each other in private, trying to find out the truth or falsehood, and after a long time, naturally someone went to question.

Although Zhang Fei and Chen Deng tried their best to refute the rumors, there is one fact that cannot be changed, that is, the logistics army that transports grain is gone.

Seeing that it was impossible to hide, after a while, Chen Deng could only say it clearly and inform Liu Bei that he was about to join them.

But they have been deceived once, these people naturally don't believe it, and they shout to go back to Xuzhou, but Xuzhou has been occupied by Yuan Shao and can't go back at all.

Chen Deng's mouth was dry, but he still couldn't persuade these people to stay, so he had no choice but to let them leave.

Chen Deng was afraid that the strict order would trap them, which would backfire and cause chaos in the army, so he let them leave.

But Zhang Fei didn't think so, he couldn't let Liu Bei see that there was not much left of the army when he arrived, and there was Yuan Shu on the side.

The two of them have a lot of trouble over this matter, but Chen Deng has always been deeply valued by Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei also has scruples, so there has been no violence so far, otherwise there will be discord between the civil and military, and I am afraid that the situation will be worse.

With Chen Deng's release, Liu Jun will have hundreds of soldiers leave every day, which makes Zhang Fei's heart rise.

On this day, Zhang Fei drank two taels of wine, and with the help of alcohol, he was ready to go to Chen Deng's theory.

Lifting the curtain and seeing Chen Dengzheng looking at the map with a frown, Zhang Feiqi said loudly: "Strategist, don't look at that map, is there a place for us to live on it, and then we can conjure up territory?" ”

"If you don't stop the release, I'm afraid that in less than half a month, I will have to go to the mountains to be a bandit, and you will become a dog-headed military advisor at that time, and you will have time to come and see."

Looking at Zhang Fei, who was full of alcohol, Chen Deng shook his head helplessly, and decided to resist in silence, so as not to be entangled.

Seeing that Chen Deng ignored it, Zhang Fei was even more angry, and shouted loudly: "Military advisor, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, with the intention of my old Zhang, I should strictly order the soldiers to leave, wait for the eldest brother to arrive, seize the territory of the dog man Yuan Shu, and then kill back to Xuzhou." ”

Shouchun has become surrounded, even if Liu Bei tries his best to take it, it is not a long-term solution, Chen Deng knows it very well in his heart, so these days, he has been looking for a suitable territory for Liu Bei.

If it is temporary, there are many places to go, Liu Beizhizhi will never only look for temporary, he must choose a place where he can develop.

But at present, the various forces have almost occupied the places that can be occupied, except for those who cannot operate for a long time, and will be left to the bandits.

Since this is the case, then there is only one side to take refuge, as for that side, Chen Deng already has a choice, one is Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and the other is Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

Jingzhou is closer, but Liu Biao is a sophisticated person, although he is not enterprising enough, but there is still more than enough to defend the city, if Liu Bei goes to vote, he will definitely have a place to live.

But if you want to grow, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, because Liu Biao won't let an existence appear under his rule that can threaten him.

And Yizhou Liu Zhangxin succeeded to the throne, and his prestige was insufficient, which led to continuous rebellions under his rule, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, who did not listen to orders.

If Liu Bei leads the army to take refuge, he will be able to solve Liu Zhang's urgent needs and gain trust.

Dealing with Liu Zhang, who inherited his father's business, and Liu Biao, who was scheming, Chen Deng naturally preferred the former.

But to Yizhou, the road is far away, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth, so Chen Deng is also distressed, and he is in a dilemma.

"Bang bang." Here Chen Deng fell into thought, and Zhang Fei thought that he was ignoring him, so he stepped forward angrily and slapped the table.

Distracted by his thoughts, Chen Deng simply didn't think about it, sat down, and said unhurriedly: "General Zhang, let them go, staying is just a waste of food." ”。

Zhang Fei took a deep breath and said: "Waste of food, food is gone, you can find another way, but the soldiers are gone, it's gone." ”

"Figured out?" Chen Deng smiled and asked: "Did General Zhang come up with any way to conjure up food, our army now only has less than seven days of food, and the number of personnel has been reduced, maybe it can hold out for a few more days." ”
