Hearing this, Liu Bei was very unwilling, "Wouldn't this be cheaper than Ma Teng's horseman?" ”

"The king of Wei is angry, the big husband can bend and stretch, everything needs to know and forbear, take a step back at this time, let Ma Teng get some benefits, he defeated Wu Ming every day, and it is easy to get it back from him; But if you let Wu Ming become bigger, and want to take back a little bit from Wu Ming in the future, it will be difficult to reach the sky! ”

Liu Bei naturally understands this truth, but he is unwilling in his heart, how can he ever put Ma Teng in his eyes. But now, it is very difficult for him to accept that he wants to tolerate Ma Teng like this.

But Liu Bei's forbearance is what he has relied on to get to the present, and he has endured under Yuan Shao for many years, and finally found an opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest.

"In that case, let's let Ma Teng be proud for a few more days! The order went down, let Guan Zhang Er General and Liu Feng withdraw all the soldiers and horses, and at the same time have a seal, so that the envoy could give him the generous gift given to him by the king, so that he could understand it. ”

It's just that at this time, he saw Sima Yi looking at him a little embarrassed, and Liu Bei reacted, "Oh...... The messenger has been killed by this king, hasn't he? Forget it, if he sends another person over and gives Ma Teng such a big gift, he won't mind a person's life, he dared to do this, and he was not ready to let this messenger go back alive, right? ”

"King Wei is wise!"

"Hey, this king still has to write a letter to Yun Chang and Yide, otherwise with their temper, they will definitely not be obedient and withdraw their troops easily!"

Sure enough, as Liu Bei expected, when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were about to give Gao Xianzhi another counterattack at this time, the news of Liu Bei's withdrawal arrived, and Liu Xiu's heart also wanted to attack. It's just that at this time, Liu Xiu didn't take the initiative to express any views on Zhang Zai, but he also had a little pity for giving up and merging the state.

"What the hell does Big Brother think? This horse is so hateful, we still have to give up the merger? No, I don't want to say anything! ”

Guan Yu also frowned, because he was reading Liu Bei's letter at this time.

"Third brother, don't be angry! Now that Wu Ming is pressing too hard, the eldest brother has no way to come up with an expedient measure, if he can't bear the momentary anger, the eldest brother may not be able to stop Wu Ming! ”

At this time, Zhang Fei couldn't listen to it at all, and his dark face looked even more gloomy at this time, "Bear with me!" The eldest brother knows how to endure, he has endured it for so many years, and now he still has to endure it! I can't bear it anymore, I have to have a good time with the Naxi Liang rats! ”

Guan Yu grabbed Zhang Fei, who wanted to go out, and shouted: "Third brother! If you are so willful again, do you want to see your big brother in the future! The eldest brother's situation at this time is already very difficult, if you let the eldest brother be so uneasy again......"

These words finally made Zhang Fei stop, he sighed, shook his head and said, "Okay, for the sake of the great brother's cause, swallow this breath for the time being!" It's just that Ma Teng is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all, he was given a merger today, and he will want Jizhou tomorrow! ”

Although Zhang Fei was angry, his words were not unreasonable, if Ma Teng really asked for this, Liu Bei would have no way at all. Liu Bei did this just in the hope that Ma Teng could see the current situation clearly, even if it was given to him and annexed to the state, if he didn't take any measures against Wu Liren, it would be Wu Liren's in the end.

"The third uncle extinguished the fire, and the third uncle must have considered his father, so this decision must have been made after the father weighed the pros and cons of all aspects, and the nephew was actually very unwilling, and all the hard work for so long was handed over. But the nephew believes that this renunciation is for the sake of gaining greater benefits in the future. ”

Liu Xiu's words made Zhang Fei feel a little more comfortable, and he didn't say anything, and went out to pack his things directly.

Guan Yu asked people to write a letter and shoot it into Gao Xianzhi's formation - to make Liu Bei's meaning clear, and at the same time persuade Ma Teng to think twice.

After Gao Xianzhi saw Guan Yu's letter, he still didn't believe it, he was in Guan Zhang's ambush in Lin County because of his carelessness before, and he suffered a lot of losses. This time, he was naturally skeptical, so even if he heard that the Wei army had retreated, Gao Xianzhi still didn't dare to advance, so he asked people to investigate carefully for a few days, and after making sure that the Wei army had completely withdrawn at this time, he began to march.

When Gao Xianzhi occupied the West River and came to Taiyuan, he found that Li Jing's army had also arrived in Taiyuan at this time. As allies, the two sides discussed meeting the alliance outside Jinyang City, and the focus of the alliance was to discuss the matter of handing over and merging states.

The two sides each lined up with their own soldiers, Li Jing and Gao Xianzhi each brought a few generals to follow, came to the center, and after a pleasantry, Gao Xianzhi got straight to the point: "Li Dudu, before the king of Zhou sent people to discuss with my king to take the matter of annexing the state for my king, and now the brothers have taken the counties for us, and I will be ordered by my king to thank the soldiers of your army, I don't know when the governor will hand over these counties to me?" ”

At this time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly laughed loudly, then took two steps forward and shouted loudly: "What is your identity when I said you?" My family has managed to knock down the place, so I'll hand it over to you? Did you dream or did I hear it wrong? ”

Gao Xianzhi's face changed, he didn't expect Li Jing's people to disagree, and he naturally had a countermeasure in his heart, "What does Du Du mean by this?" Don't you plan to hand over the captured counties to me? ”

Li Jing smiled and said, "General Gao is angry!" As my General Cheng said, I have not received such an order yet, the previous order was just for me to help the Xiliang army to attack and merge the state, if the two really reached such an agreement, then Li will not dare to hinder my king's plan, but also ask General Gao to give me a little time, I will send someone to Xiapi, ask my king's opinion, I don't know what the general wants? ”

However, at this time, Luo Cheng, who was beside Gao Xianzhi, took two steps forward and snorted, "Such a big event, how could King Zhou not inform him in advance?" Isn't King Zhou wanting to backtrack? If that's the case, then don't blame my Xiliang army for breaking the covenant. ”

Cheng Biting Jin's temper came up, raised the axe in his hand, and shouted: "I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Let your grandfather Cheng teach you how to be a man! ”

Luo Cheng was naturally angry, "Piff, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

Looking at the tense atmosphere, Li Jing hurriedly drank Cheng Biting Jin, and said to Gao Xianzhi: "General Gao, please give Li Jing a month, if my king really wants me to transfer the state to the Xiliang Army, then Li will never dare to delay!" It's just that I really haven't received such an order now, if you do it without permission, Li will be guilty of death! ”
