However, it was said that Yuan Shao led the army to Yecheng in the starry night, and when he saw Han Juzi who was released by Liu Bei, he asked him about Chen Liu's battle situation.

Han Juzi said with a look of fear on his face: "Liu Bei's scheming is full of tricks, and the two people under his command, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are even more brave and abnormal, General Chun Yuqiong and General Zhao Rong were all beheaded by Guan Yu twice. ”

The more Yuan Shao listened, the darker his face became, and he shouted: "No matter how scheming Liu Bei is, can he compare to the many strategists under my command?" No matter how brave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are, can they compare to Yan Liang and Wen Chou? ”

Han Juzi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to speak again.

Yuan Shao looked at Han Juzi who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "The big-eared thief let you come back, did you say anything?" ”

Han Juzi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The big-eared thief said that he only raised troops this time to rescue Gongsun Zhan, and he had no intention of being an enemy of the lord. If the lord can withdraw his troops from Liaodong, he will definitely return the captured Chen Liu. ”

Speaking of this, Han Juzi said cautiously: "He also said, he also said......"

Yuan Shao saw Han Juzi spitting and spitting, and immediately said angrily: "What else did he say? ”

Han Juzi gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Bei also said that if the lord is still obsessed and wantonly kills other princes, he will definitely directly lead the troops into Yecheng and capture the lord alive. ”

"The big-eared thief deceives people too much!"

Yuan Shao was furious, and immediately stood up as soon as he took the case. He looked at Han Juzi, who was kneeling on the ground with a panicked face, and the more he looked at it, the more disgusted he felt in his heart.

"Chun Yuqiong, the main general, died on the battlefield, but you, the general of the defeated army, are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you have survived so far. Now he still dares to bewitch the public, and the thieves are determined to destroy their own prestige. ”

"If I don't kill you today, who will be willing to fight to the death in the future? Where are you left and right, drag this person down and behead him! ”

Han Juzi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord, lord......"

However, Yuan Shao, who was angry in his heart, didn't pay any attention to Han Juzi at all. Naturally, the soldiers who received the order would not pay attention to his shouts.

It didn't take long for Han Juzi to be beheaded for public display.

Feng Ji was about to come over to intercede for Han Juzi, but found that it was too late, and immediately sighed secretly in his heart. Speaking of which, the defeat of Chen Liu's army this time also has something to do with Feng Ji.

If it weren't for his unclear use of people, there would not have been such a big defeat. Until now, he didn't know how to explain it to Yuan Shao.

Although he came to meet Yuan Shao this time, it was mainly to intercede for Han Juzi. However, now that Han Juzi has been beheaded, he will not continue to do such a thankless thing.

Yuan Shao, who was furious, looked at Feng Ji coming over, and immediately snorted coldly. He didn't discuss with Feng Ji, and said directly: "Ke Ri soldiers, attack the big-eared thief!" ”

However, it is said that Liu Bei adopted Sima Yi's strategy, captured Chenliu, and eliminated the Yuan soldiers led by Chun Yuqiong, so he recruited soldiers and horses on the one hand, and divided the troops into two ways to take Dongjun and Jiyin County.

Although there are a lot of soldiers and horses in these two counties, they are much less than Chen Liu. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led a group of men and horses, and they won successive battles.

At this point, the entire Jiyin County and the East County on the south bank of the Yellow River have been occupied by Liu Bei. Liu Jun's troops also fought more and more, and now they have actually expanded to 50,000 people.

On this day, after Liu Bei received the news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat and death, he immediately stood on the spot.

He said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, I raised troops to attack Yanzhou this time, but I just wanted to relieve the siege for Bogui, but I didn't expect that Bogui still couldn't escape this catastrophe." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei's expression was a little lonely, and there was a hint of retreat in his heart.

In the past, Gongsun Zan contained most of Yuan Shao's troops, so that Liu Bei was able to occupy the three counties of Yanzhou in a short period of time.

Rao is like this, if there is no Sima Yi to help, I am afraid that Liu Bei will still be blocked from Chen Liumen.

Now that Gongsun Zhan has been defeated and died, there is no point in Liu Bei fighting Yuan Shao again. What's more, if you wait until Yuan Shao leads the army over, according to the little strength under Liu Bei's command, you can't resist it no matter what.

Looking at Sima Yi, whose face was still a little immature, Liu Bei said: "Zhongda, I intend to lead the troops back to Yuzhou and return the land of Yanzhou to Yuan Benchu, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Sima Yi secretly thought: "I came this time to help Liu Xuande drag Yuan Benchu's army, how can I let him withdraw his troops at this time?" ”

Thinking of this, Sima Yi immediately shook his head and said, "The war has begun, how can you get out easily?" Even if Jun returned Chen Liu, Jiyin, and Dongjun to Yuan Benchu, he would definitely not give up. ”

For what Sima Yi said, how could Liu Bei not know? Now he is really in a dilemma, and he doesn't know what to do.

"How can I not know what Zhong Da said, but how can I compete with Yuan Benchu when I have few soldiers and few generals? I wonder if the general will lead the troops to help? ”

Liu Bei also has his own careful thoughts, this time he led the troops to attack Yuan Shao to rescue Gongsun Zhan, he was just for fame. Even if he lost the land of Yuzhou like chicken ribs for this, he did not hesitate to do it.

However, Yuzhou is Liu Bei's foundation after all, and if it is possible, he still does not want to become a lost dog from now on.

But with Liu Bei's strength alone, he can't compete with Yuan Shao at all. Only then did he hit Chen Xu with his idea, hoping to let Chen Xu help him out of the siege like he did last time.

Sima Yi knew Liu Bei's thoughts, he pretended to think for a long time, and said with some embarrassment: "Now that there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, even if the lord has the heart to send troops to rescue, he is more than enough but not enough." ”

Liu Bei's face darkened when he heard this, and he said: "If Yuan Benchu really wants to seize Yuzhou, he can't even let the people in the territory suffer from the disaster of war, so he can only give up Yuzhou." ”

Sima Yi's heart suddenly suddenly, and he still said quietly on the surface: "Why should you grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? Although Yuan Benchu's strength was strong, it was not difficult for Jun to hold on for three months. ”

"As long as we wait until the autumn harvest is over, and the grain and grass in Guanzhong are ripe, my lord will definitely raise troops to help make Jun repel Yuan Benchu."

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "After the autumn harvest, will the general really send troops to help?" ”

Sima Yi nodded firmly and said, "The lord personally admits it, how can it be fake?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei's heart suddenly settled down.

Although he did love the people under his rule very much, it was a little unrealistic to say that he would give up Yuzhou directly in order to save them from the suffering of war.

If it is really possible to repel Yuan Shao and hold the foundation of Yuzhou, he will not hesitate to fight even if he fights. Even if Liu Bei didn't think he could defeat Yuan Shao, he believed that he could hold it for three months.
