Liu Yu is dead.

Gongsun Zhan robbed Hu City, killed people and robbed horses, and Hu people asked Liu Yu for help from Youzhou Mu. Liu Yu repeatedly persuaded him, so he gathered 100,000 horses to attack Gongsun Zhan. Unexpectedly, he was defeated in the first battle, and Liu Yu himself was captured. Gongsun Zan coerced Duan Xun, the envoy of the imperial court, to behead Liu Yu on the grounds that Liu Yu and Yuan Shao were united and wanted to abolish the establishment, and passed on the head to Chang'an. Liu Yu's former official Xian Yufu and others gathered the remnants, united with Liu Bei, and are now fighting with Gongsun Zhan.

After reading the letter, Xun Chen felt incredible. 100,000 horses were defeated by Gongsun Chan in a battle, and he was captured? Liu Yu's use of soldiers is not ordinary. Seeing Liu He's marching and fighting, how can his father's Liu Yu be so substandard?

However, looking at Liu He who was crying on the ground, Xun Chen was not in the mood to consider Liu Yu's ability to use troops, as a strategist, he had to analyze the next changes in the situation and provide a plan for Liu He, especially to persuade Liu He at the moment, not to let him come with his temperament. Liu He kowtowed while crying bitterly, his forehead was already broken, and he was dripping with blood, if he continued like this, he would knock himself to death directly.

Xun Chen hurriedly called people and asked them to forcibly hold down Liu He and help him to the hall.

Liu He struggled, scolded endlessly, pointed to the sky and the earth, and swore that he would kill Gongsun Zan and avenge his father. When Xun Chen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh. Youzhou is far away, Liu He can't rush to Youzhou, he will most likely be angry with Sun Ce, let alone let him ask for peace now, he won't agree to make peace. The deadline promised by Sun Ce was approaching, and his subordinates had been assembled and could enter Xiapi at any time. Regardless of whether Sun Ce is bluffing or not, he is now ready to shoot and has to be sent.

This is probably providence. Xun Chen stood under the porch, looked at the blood in the courtyard, and sighed secretly.

Liu He was so sad that he cried so much that he fainted. Xun Chen sits in the Chinese army, commands the overall situation, and never leaves. In the middle of the night, Liu He woke up, and the first thing he saw was Xun Chen's figure leaning on the couch and sleeping on the couch. Seeing that Xun Chen had been by his side, Liu He felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and his dissatisfaction with Xun Chen disappeared. He thought that Xun Chen had been bought by Sun Ce, and he would abandon him at this time.

"Tomoruo."

Liu He shouted twice, Xun Chen was startled, Huo Ran woke up, and hurriedly sat up and rubbed his eyes. Seeing that although Liu He's eyes were red and his face was haggard, his expression was quite calm, and he was relieved. "General, you can't do this again. Great sorrow for the stomach, anger and liver, no good body, whether it is revenge or hatred, you will not be able to continue. ”

"Youruo, I'm going to attack Sun Ce."

"Well, I understand." Xun Chen nodded, reached out to help Liu He up, and reached out to get a manuscript. "I have prepared a plan for the general's reference."

Liu He took the manuscript but didn't read it. He looked at Xun Chen. "You...... Don't you persuade me to ask Sun Ce for peace? ”

Xun Chen looked at Liu He quietly. "General, I still advise you to ask Sun Ce for peace, but I know that I can't persuade you, so I can only retreat and plan an offensive strategy for the general."

Liu He slowly lowered his eyelids and looked at the manuscript in his hand. Xun Chen moved the lamp and turned the wick on a little. Liu He finished reading it slowly, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. Xun Chen's plan was very detailed, and all kinds of data were well listed, even if the giant trebuchets and large ships were not considered, only from the perspective of the troops and food reserves of both sides, Sun Ce also had an overwhelming advantage.

There are many auspicious battles in this battle, and the ideal state is to defend the city. Except for a few important cities, the rest of the city can only be ceded. Even if Sun Ce can't break the city in the end, Xiapi and Guangling will suffer heavy losses and their vitality will be greatly damaged. Not to mention killing Gongsun Zan to avenge his father, it's hard to say whether he can survive or not.

Liu He put away the manuscript, closed his eyes, and took a few heavy breaths. He pointed to the side of the couch and motioned for Xun Chen to sit down. "Youruo, let's hear it, why did you suggest that I sue for peace with Sun Ce, is there any other reason besides trebuchets and big ships?"

Xun Chen glanced at Liu He in surprise. Liu He was furious when he heard the word "peace" before, but now he wants to hear his opinion, which is really unexpected. He quickly organized his words and said softly: "General, do you think Sun Ce and Gongsun Chan are allies?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. As the saying goes, those who make friends with profit will be cut off from all interests. Sun Ce and Gongsun Zan are not related, but they have a common enemy, so they are connected. Even so, Gongsun Chan is unruly, ignorant of the general situation, and difficult to cooperate, Sun Ce will only use him for a while, and as soon as the situation changes, they will inevitably turn against each other. ”

"Will the situation change?" Liu He slowly opened his eyes. "You mean, Yuan Alliance Master will be defeated?"

Xun Chen looked at Liu He, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Liu He's eyes flashed, and he understood what Xun Chen meant. He himself has little confidence in Yuan Shao, otherwise he would not want to set up his own door in Xuzhou. But at this time, at that time, Liu Yu served as the pastor of Youzhou, and Yuan Shao could not directly control Youzhou, but asked Liu Yu for a chance to break away from Yuan Shao. Now that Liu Yu is dead, the possibility of Youzhou falling into the hands of Yuan Shao has greatly increased, but he has lost strong reinforcements, and it is undoubtedly an extremely unwise decision to fight against Yuan Shao again.

He must kill Gongsun Zan to avenge his father, his own strength is insufficient, so he needs reinforcements, and now the difference is to ask Yuan Shao for help or Sun Ce for help. Xun Chen said that Yuan Shao would lose, but he felt that Yuan Shao had a better chance of winning, especially if he contained Sun Ce.

However, he and Xun Chen have differences on this point, and I am afraid it will be difficult to reach an agreement. The brothers and uncles of the Xun family voted for the four masters, and since Xun Chen had left Yecheng, he would no longer support Yuan Shao. He certainly wouldn't want Yuan Shao to win.

"I'll think again."

Xun Chen didn't argue either. "The general has a good rest, whether it is war or peace, he needs a good body." Xun Chen took a brocade box from the side, brought a bowl of water, opened the brocade box, and the fragrance of medicine overflowed. Xun Chen took out a pill, melted it in water, and then took a sip of it himself, and sent the rest to Liu He. "General, this is a tranquilizing pill made by Nanyang Materia Medica, given by Guo Jia, and the effect is good. Take a pill on the general's uniform and get a good night's sleep. ”

Liu He lowered his face and glared at Xun Chen. "Okay, you Xun Youruo, there is such a good medicine, why don't you give me some earlier, and only take it out now." As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and drank it all. picked up the brocade box again, leaned to the end of his nose, sniffed it, and praised it: "Nanyang is a medicine town, and its name is well deserved." I had heard that the wound medicine made by the Materia Medica had a wonderful effect, and Sun Ce always had it in the army, but he didn't expect that there was such a good medicine. Youruo, you usually study and plan, it hurts your nerves, can you ask Guo Jia to buy some of these tranquilizing pills. ”

Xun Chen smiled. "Thank you, General, for your kindness. However, this tranquilizer pill is not sold to the outside world, and at the moment, it is only rationed by various military strategies. Even Cai Bojiao, who wrote a book in Xiangyang, wanted to ask for some, but he also wanted to save face for his son-in-law Zhou Gongjin. ”

Liu He was surprised. "So precious?"

"Although Guo Jia didn't say it explicitly, I estimate that this medicine is no different from a giant trebuchet and a 10,000-stone ship for Sun Ce, both of them are sharp weapons."

Liu He's heart darkened, he was silent for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "Then I'll try it." ”
