Chapter 441: Bingtun Boundary Bridge (4)
Liu Bei's heart turned back and forth, and in the end, he just arched his hand at Yuan Shao and said, "The Tao is different, and we don't conspire with each other." Brother Benchu, between you and me, we still have to do it after all. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded, and said with a smile: "Since Xuande insists on doing so, then just speak with the sword in his hand." After saying that, the two bowed to each other and returned with their horses.
What Yuan Shao said to Liu Bei just now was not something he said on a whim. He had thought it through. If Liu Bei can dismiss the army, he is not unacceptable to take charge of the government with Liu Bei. Yuan and Liu, share the world, this is also a very good choice. After all, if you really fight, the chips on the bright side are still Liu Beiduo, and the winning rate is also big for the other party.
But this is just his wishful thinking, where will Liu Bei be willing to do it. The goal has been clear, the foundation has been solid, Qingzhou Group is moving all the way on the correct and bright road, and he does not allow anyone to suddenly intervene and interrupt the process of progress. In front of him were all enemies of him and the Qingzhou Group. Yuan Shao would be hypocritical and polite, but Liu Bei wouldn't believe even half a word. The old fox who has been trained for many years and is about to become a refiner, throws out a seemingly tempting idea at a time of crisis, doesn't he want to take a break? And then after catching his breath, he turned his face and showed his fangs?
As the two commanders returned to the camp, the drums suddenly sounded, the horns whimpered, and the generals of Jizhou and Qingzhou also led the troops out of the camp, lined up, lined up, and prepared to fight.
The soldiers commanded the soldiers under their command, and the ground was constantly resounding with the crash of armor and the sound of powerful footsteps. Guns and shields marched slowly, followed by archers and cavalry on both sides.
The horses snorted their noses and their front hooves were digging into the ground, and the cavalrymen comforted their companions on horseback, but their eyes were round, and their blades were clenched in their hands, ready to follow orders to attack.
There were black clouds in the sky, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. In the end, it was the cavalry who struck first. Zhang Fei and Tai Shici took the lead, leading their subordinates to rush towards Yuan Shao's front like arrows. Rolling iron hooves stepped on the ground, raising smoke and dust all the way. After Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly remembered that this was behind enemy lines, and anything could happen, and it was not easy for Guan Hai to toss all the way to now, but it was not appropriate to be too harsh. So he waved his hand and said, "If I don't want to blame, the matter of intelligence is very important, and there is no room for error." Remember, remember. ”
The little correction wanted to retreat, but Liu Bei suddenly said: "You remember, quickly pass on my general's order, order Zhang Yan and Guan Hai, attack and merge the state, and respond to the army of Zhao and Lu." Go! ”
Yuan Shao personally brought the army to come, and Liu Bei knew that this war was destined to be a protracted war, and it was not his head-to-head confrontation with Yuan Shao that would determine the outcome of the battle. It's about who has more means and who is more resilient. If his side can end the war in the state ahead of schedule and win, then it can only be Yuan Shao who is in a hurry. Bingzhou is Yuan Shao's solid rear, and once the state is lost, Yuan Shao's back road will be cut off, which will blow the hearts of the Jizhou Group Army and the people, which is not something that can be described at all. When the time comes, Yuan Shao will be attacked head-on on his side, and the armies of Bingzhou will attack from behind, how can Yuan Shao withstand it.
As for the war in Bingzhou, Liu Bei was not worried at all. If Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Tian Yu, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan are added, such a lineup can't take the next merger of the main generals, and he can only buy good tofu and let the generals die headlong.
Here, Yuan Shao saw Liu Bei leading the army, so he led the army out of the camp to see Liu Bei. Yuan Shao was not wearing armor, wearing a brocade robe, wearing a jade belt around his waist, and the crotch was riding on a famous horse of different species in the northwest, and his whole body was snow-white without a trace of variegation. He came out of the battle and said loudly: "Where is Xuande!" ”
Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao riding out of the camp, so free and easy, he said in his heart Let you sass, believe it or not, I let Han Sheng shoot you with an arrow?
However, Liu Bei also has to admit that Yuan Shao is indeed very good-looking, Fengshen Junlang is very charming, and in the future generations, those girls who are obsessed with uncles don't know how crazy they are when they see it.
Yuan Shao invited, Liu Bei naturally did not show weakness, and also rode out of the battle alone, came to see Yuan Shao, and when he walked to the middle of the formation, Liu Bei laughed and said: "At the beginning, Liu Bei is here!" ”
Yuan Shao squinted slightly, staring at the person in front of him. At this time, Liu Bei was in the prime of life, full of energy and high spirits. let Yuan Shao see it, and his heart suddenly felt infinite emotion, the border boy who was not put in his eyes back then has now grown into a character that he dare not ignore. Thinking about Liu Bei's development trajectory over the years, Yuan Shao felt regret and hatred in his heart, and he hated it for thousands of years if he made a mistake. Why did you put such a person in Qingzhou in the first place. The world is so big, even if he is allowed to go to Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Okay now, Liu Bei, the trapped dragon, is about to enter the sea. So he's going to grab the land with himself. Yuan Shao believed that except for Liu Bei, any prince in the world would come here, and he would be able to easily knock the other party down.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't say a word, and the scene suddenly fell silent. Neither of them knew what was going on in their minds. In the end, Liu Bei broke the silence and said to Yuan Shao: "What is the matter with Brother Ben summoning me?" ”
Yuan Shao stabilized his mind, smiled with emotion, and said: "Heaven is impermanent, and the world makes people." If Xuande can join hands with me, why worry about the uncertain world and the unprosperous Han. It's a pity, you and I will eventually have to meet each other. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he was also touched. Indeed, if Yuan Shao had put down his lofty shelf, put on a correct posture, and everyone worked together, what would the eunuch have gained, and what would Dong Zhuo have gained?
It's a pity that Yuan Shao had a ghost in his heart from the beginning, and he didn't say anything else, just said that Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and he made a coalition against Dong for the alliance leader, what was the result? There are so many princes and soldiers in the world, who gather together to eat, drink, sit and talk all day long, and almost consume the grain and grass, so they no longer play soy sauce, and they scatter as birds and beasts.
Since then, the hearts of the people in the world have been scattered, and the princes have their own policies. If it is said that the Han Dynasty can no longer recover its decline, the source of this is from Yuan Shao.
The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, half of the world's scholars and officials are from his subordinates, and then when the country is in danger, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not play an exemplary role, but desperately dug the foundation of the Han Dynasty with small calculations. In this way, how can people with lofty ideals in the world be willing. Therefore, one by one, they followed the same example, and they divided the localities one after another, and no longer obeyed the orders of the imperial court.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, it's too late for you to say anything now, I didn't think about it at first, I just wanted to be a good minister but I couldn't get it, and I could only choose my own way to save the Han Empire. Just like Cao Mengde, no one gave him the opportunity to be the general of Han Zhengxi, and he could only come in his own way. All of this was forced by you. Liu Bei thought in his heart.
