Hebei Siting Pillar used to be the pride and belief of the Hebei Army.

In fact, the Hebei sergeants all know that the rumored four court pillars in the outside world are just simple statements, and the real five famous generals in Hebei are four courts and one pillar. The real Lord Liang Han Rong's martial arts are definitely better than the other four courts. It's a pity that it was the most staked pillar that was the first to fall.

Immediately, as if a chain reaction had occurred, General Wen Chou was immediately killed. Now, since the afternoon, soldiers who have fled alone outside the camp have been appearing, and the overseers are busy arresting people everywhere. Those deserters seem to belong to General Yan Liang's subordinates. There is a rumor that General Yan Liang was killed in the clash in Wei County, and the whole army collapsed; There is also a rumor that the main force of the Cao army has defeated Yan Liang and is rushing towards the Yuan family's camp at high speed.

"You are the people of the military department, and you should put an end to rumors, not spread rumors." A white-faced, generous general reprimanded a soldier who was whispering and ordered them not to talk nonsense. But when he turned away, his expression became unnatural. Some of them entered Yuan Shaozhong's military tent gloomily, with a sad face.

"Hey, hurry up and tell me, is General Yan Liang really dead?" After the man left, a soldier who had lowered his eyebrows just now hurriedly asked the soldier from the main division of the army.

"Don't spread rumors, don't spread rumors." At this time, the soldier of the military department suddenly changed his attitude, looked at the back of the general just now, and said, "I want to listen to the words of Xuande Gong. This time, it was Xuande Gong who gathered the five thousand Youyan elite horsemen, and confused Cao Jun several times, so that those brothers fled back to the barracks. ”

After saying this, the soldier of the main division of the army, as if in order to strengthen his belief, whispered to himself: "Uncle Liuhuang's words, I must listen. ”

At this time, in the Chinese military tent, all the ministers and generals knelt on both sides in panic. As the sovereign, Yuan Shao was on the top position, playing with a bronze wine lord in his hand, and looked at the seat with a calm gaze.

"That is, our army lost another game on the middle line?" Yuan Shao suddenly spoke, his voice at this time was deep and low, with a condescending majesty.

When everyone heard this, they were speechless and replied, and the whole tent fell into a terrible silence. Everyone knows that in the next moment, Yuan Shao may be furious and angrily accuse them of being incompetent and chaotic with the army!

But after being immersed for a long time, the expression on Yuan Shao's face was still as calm as water, and there was no anger at all. It wasn't until Liu Bei lifted the tent door that the corners of Yuan Shao's eyebrows jumped slightly. Strategists who are familiar with Yuan Shao's mind know that this is Yuan Shao's habitual action - it's just this kind of cautious action, Yuan Shao hasn't shown it for some years.

"Xuande, under the defeat of you and Yan Liang, you can still rectify the soldiers, gather the hearts of the army, and bring five thousand Youyan elite cavalry back to the camp, so you should be a model for our army." Yuan Shao put down the wine lord in his hand and praised Liu Bei in front of everyone.

"Since the ministers were subsumed into the Yuan camp, they have been deeply immersed in the morality of Yuan Gong and the loyalty of all civil and military forces, and this time they can return safely, and they love the soldiers like sons when they are fair, and you govern the army well." Liu Bei hugged his fists and replied, secretly patting Yuan Shao and all the civil and military personnel. There was a lot of slander in the mainland, but for Liu Bei's broad praise, they couldn't afford to refuse at all.

However, when Yuan Shao heard Liu Bei say this, the corners of his mouth were filled with a sneer: "Xuande is really clever, why did I get the news, but it was Xuande Gong's righteous brother Guan Yu who descended to Cao and killed my henchman and favorite general in the battle!" ”

This time, Yan Liang took Liu Bei out on the expedition, which was tacitly approved by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao ridiculed Liu Bei at this time, but because this result was too different from his expectations, he couldn't bear it anymore. As for Liu Bei, at this time, he sent people under the fence, and he couldn't say anything openly about Yuan Shao's acquiescence to Yan Liang's holding him hostage. For a while, Liu Bei was forced into a corner, unable to advance or retreat.

However, when Liu Bei heard Yuan Shao's words, his face was not shocked or sad, but he arched his hand to Yuan Shao and said, "Congratulations to Yuan Gong!" ”

In the plan of being frustrated in the long battle and the death of the general, Liu Bei actually said such a bastard thing, which really shook the entire big tent. All the staff generals looked at Liu Bei in surprise, and said in their hearts, could this guy be impatient?

Yuan Shao was already moved at this time, and was about to call the guards to drag Liu Bei out. But Liu Bei looked calm again, and said unhurriedly: "Duke Yuan, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. Although the vanguard suffered a small defeat, it can be seen that this is a sign of a great victory for our army. Shouldn't the general be congratulated in this case? ”

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, glanced at Liu Bei, and said angrily: "Xuande Gong, I would like to hear about it." Having said that, Yuan Shao's hand approached the bronze wine lord again, and it could be seen that Liu Beiruo had a wrong mind about Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is likely to smash the wine lord in his hand at Liu Bei.

"Duke Yuan, Cao Cao is cunning with soldiers, if you are Cao Cao this time, why don't you sit firmly in Diaoyutai in Yecheng, but risk your death to go out of the city to find General Yan Liang to fight? And after the battle, they did not dare to attack in a big way, but then fled into the city? ”

Yuan Shao's subordinates are not stupid, especially in the military quite talented trial, after listening to Liu Bei's words, he directly took the case and said: "Xuande Gong said that Cao Cao deliberately hit our morale and covered up his predicament of lack of soldiers and food?!" ”

"Exactly!" Speaking of this, Liu Bei saw the emotion on Yuan Shao's face, and turned his mouth at the right time: "Moreover, there is also a good thing, that is, although General Yan Liang died, my second brother and I have secretly made an agreement. ”

"Oh? But General Guan wants to come to me to pay for Yan Liang's crime? Yuan Shao's face finally had a happy face, now the four court pillars are falling apart, if Guan Yu can come, the army's spirit is expected to be revived.

"No," Liu Bei shook his head and said, "The second brother is going north now, and he will be killed by Cao Cao." ”

Yuan Shao was disappointed in his heart after hearing this, but then Liu Bei spoke again: "However, there is no hope of going north, but it is okay to go south." What's more, the third brother Zhang Fei is also in the south, if the three of my brothers can get together in Runan. ....... then"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei deliberately stopped and didn't say more, but Yuan Shao's mind was already a lot more active at this time: Runan is the ancestral land of the Yuan family, and his protégés and former officials are everywhere. Moreover, that place is adjacent to Ma Chao and Cao Cao, and when Liu Bei said there at this time, he obviously had the intention of inciting the two families to separate each other.

But at this time, Guo Tu said gloomily on one side: "Not only is the third brother of Xuande Gong in Runan, but where are the civil and military generals?" ”

After Liu Bei heard this, he didn't explain, just looked at Yuan Shao without blinking. And Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and then asked: "Runan is now strictly guarded by Li Tong, and there were incidents before, all of which were cracked by Li Tong. Xuande Gong this time, after converging the civil and military generals, does he really have a clever plan? ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "Li Tong can protect the city, but the outer field is a world of bandits, among which Liu Pi and Gong Du, who have the largest troops, have an old relationship with me and can be used." At that time, I will build momentum for Yuan Gong in Runan, Cao Cao will be difficult to take care of, and the general will slowly try to do it, why worry about Cao's immortality? And as soon as Cao Cao was destroyed, Ma Mengqi fought alone, how could he be Yuan Gong's opponent? ”

Liu Bei's news can be regarded as a big accident, both happy and dangerous, and it is difficult to choose for a while. Everyone present turned their heads to each other and whispered discussions. But before everyone could put forward their opinions, Yuan Shao directly said: "Just according to what Xuande Gong said!" ”

"Lord!" Everyone was very surprised when they heard this-Yuan Shao hadn't made such a decisive decision for a long time.

But Yuan Shao directly stretched his right arm forward to block everyone, and his voice was high-spirited, as if the high-spirited eldest son of the Wang clan ten years ago had returned to him: "Pass my order, the armies should not go deep easily, and slowly oppress the past." Cao Cao used soldiers like a god, but it was impossible for him to make a god soldier descend from the sky! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled slightly, and promised in unison with everyone. And Yuan Shao also took a sip of the fine wine in the bronze wine jue. After the two ended, they glanced at each other, as if they understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
