Time flies quickly, Cao Cao's attack on Liu Bei this time only took a few days, it can be said that it was quite smooth, and the army was successful.

What made Cao Cao happiest was that he got Guan Yu.

Of course, after Cao Cao returned to Xudu, on the one hand, he deliberately wooed Guan Yu, and on the other hand, he also prepared his generals to fight with Yuan Shao.

At this time, the ten days that Liu Bei had thought of and asked Sun Qian to persuade Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Cao Cao within ten days had already passed. Until now, Yuan Shao was still grinding, and he hadn't launched an attack on Cao Cao.

And Liu Bei, he has also made a big circle from Qingzhou and fled to Yecheng, where Yuan Shao is now.

The capital of Jizhou was originally in Xindu City, but it was too close to the front line in the north to make it inconvenient for Yuan Shao to rule Ruoda's Jizhou. Especially after years of war with Gongsun Zhan, the people of the counties on the border of Jizhou and Youzhou all migrated to the west of the New Han Dynasty and the southeast of Jizhou, which made the population of the border area of Hebei and Youzhou drop sharply and no longer prosper.

Therefore, Yuan Shao has set Yecheng as his new capital, as the capital of Jizhou.

Liu Bei is really a little fortunate now, when he arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shao has not sent troops until now, and he really has a feeling of being in a different world. You must know that if he didn't flee when Cao Cao's army had not yet reached Xuzhou, then would he still have a chance to escape? If he was surrounded by Cao Cao's army in Xuzhou, and he was killed by Cao Cao because of this, then. There is no point in saying anything more. In everything, we must save our own lives before we can talk about the future.

But. When he came to Yecheng, Liu Bei's heart was also uneasy, because he was worried about what Yuan Shao would do to him.

Now, the people who came to Yecheng with Liu Bei, except for Chen Zhi, Jian Yong, Sun Gan and others, only have less than 5,000 military horses. This point of centaur is not enough to protect his safety. Let alone. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two righteous brothers who can deter the three armies, are not by his side, which makes Liu Bei feel a sense of tension all the time.

This is less than 4,000 people, if Yuan Shao wants to treat him. It's really not enough, Yuan Shao plugged his teeth.

You must know that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao are not friendly relations, and seriously speaking, there is still a relationship of hatred between them.

recalled the past acquaintance with Yuan Shao. Liu Bei discovered. He and Yuan Shao can really only be regarded as friends and foes.

Well, since he crusaded against Dong Zhuo and met Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao looked down on him Liu Bei. Later, he was the prime minister in Pingyuan County, and after Yuan Shao captured Jizhou, he tried to kill him many times. And he Liu Bei. He participated in the dispute between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan many times, and helped Gongsun Chan to resist Yuan Shao. These are the things to say. It's all a grudge between him Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.

Don't talk about these far away, let's just say that not long ago, Liu Bei killed Yuan Shu, which is the revenge of killing his brother. In addition, under the circumstance of saying good things to Yuan Shao, Liu Bei put Yuan Shao together. According to Liu Bei's estimation in his heart, where can Yuan Shao tolerate him? If you don't kill him right away, he's lucky.

Therefore, seeing Yuan Shao, Liu Bei's heart was uneasy.

Moreover, he also knew that he must not stay here for a long time in Yuan Shao, and he needed to provoke a big war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao as soon as possible, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity of the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to find a good place and seek development.

Yuan Shao now met Liu Bei as a hero.

Liu Bei at this moment, in fact, is not in Yuan Shao's eyes at all, if Liu Bei is in Xuzhou, there are still about 100,000 troops in his hands, barely a small prince, but now Liu Bei, like a lost dog, only brought a little soldiers and horses to join him, and there is no Guan Yu and Zhang Fei two fierce generals to help.

Seriously, Yuan Shao will not forget the past when Liu Bei killed his brother and often opposed him. I won't forget that not long ago, I dared to do something that made him feel disgusting. Therefore, now that Liu Bei has come to meet him, Yuan Shao's first thought is to kill Liu Bei. First, he can take revenge on his brother, and second, he can feel at ease by killing this guy who makes him feel that he will never be too peaceful.

However, there are many people who plead for Liu Bei, mainly because Liu Bei's current identity is not the same as in the past.

Now, Liu Bei has the identity of an imperial uncle, and he is the initiator of the emperor's blood edict that has just announced the world's crusade against Cao Cao. At this moment, the entire Han Dynasty knew that Liu Bei was the one who was ordered by the emperor to crusade against Cao Cao. Even if the so-called emperor's blood edict was fake, Yuan Shao couldn't kill him at this moment, because he also took advantage of the emperor's blood edict to send out a letter to Cao Wei. In other words, no matter what his relationship with Liu Bei was in the past, but now, he is already a conventional ally who stands on the same position as Liu Bei. If Cao Cao kills Liu Bei first before he is destroyed, then his compilation of Cao Weiwen will lose a lot of credibility. will make the world misunderstand that he Yuan Shao is not really trying to please Emperor Cao Fu, but for his own personal interests.

An emperor who even initiated a blood edict against Emperor Cao, and ordered the minister Yuan Shao to kill him, so how can you talk about crusading against Cao Cao? Or the Han Dynasty?

In this way, Yuan Shaocai reluctantly suppressed the idea of killing Liu Bei and met Liu Bei with a high profile.

Yuan Shao's first sentence made Liu Bei embarrassed.

As soon as he saw Liu Bei, he didn't salute Liu Bei, looking at Liu Bei, who was a little cramped in front of him and bowed to himself, Yuan Shao Ha said with a smile: "Liu Bei, I didn't expect that you would fall into trouble so quickly, alas, why should you bother?" Before, if you hadn't kept your promise and announced the emperor's blood edict early, then we might have been able to slowly discuss how to discuss Cao Cao's affairs. You see, this is the end of you who didn't cooperate well with Yuan. You didn't wait for me Yuan Shao to get ready, and you were anxious to deal with Cao Cao, can this work? Can't you? The key is to look at my Yuan Shao's army. Now, you can stay with me well, and when Yuan Shao is ready, defeat Cao Cao and show you, who has the ability to destroy the thief and protect the emperor and support the Han family. ”

"Hehe......" Liu Bei had to bear Yuan Shao's sarcasm and ridicule without smiling, and he also had to give himself a step down. He explained to Yuan Shao with a wry smile: "At the beginning, I had an army of millions, so I didn't have to be afraid of Cao Cao at all, and. It can also grasp the initiative in the war. But Liu Bei couldn't. Actually, Liu Bei also knew that he didn't do it very authentically, I'm sorry for you, but at the beginning, please think about it, at that time, no matter what. Cao Cao would lead his army to attack Liu Bei's Xuzhou, and Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao's military horses combined had an army of 300,000. Liu Bei Xinzhi got Xuzhou, but before he had time to govern Xuzhou, Cao Cao's army came to the city. At that time, it was difficult for Bei to get the support of those people in Xuzhou who had been bewitched by Cao Cao. As a last resort. Liu Bei was able to use the appeal of the emperor's blood edict to call on the support of the people of Xuzhou, so that he could fight Cao Cao to the end. ”

"Liu Bei is like this, he is indeed suffering, I hope he can understand at the beginning, and he will not worry about this matter." Liu Bei pretended to be calm at the moment, looked at Yuan Shao and said, "The facts, I believe I saw it at the beginning." Liu Bei took the lead in announcing the emperor's blood edict, which indeed caused Cao Cao's Xu capital to be in turmoil. Cao Cao was forced to lead the army back to Xudu overnight to deal with the chaos in Xudu. In this way, it is indeed a temporary relief of the crisis in my Xuzhou. It's the original ......"

Yuan Shao saw that Liu Bei was so clever that he could say his unauthentic things so high-soundingly, as if it was just a last resort. Now, you still want to hit a rake? What else do you want to say about yourself? Well, let me talk about it and see if I can really talk about it.

Yuan Shao saw that Liu Bei actually seemed to have a whisper about himself, in front of so many people, Yuan Shaohao had no choice but to be patient, and said to Liu Bei with annoyance in his eyes: "Oh? What happened to Yuan? ”

Liu Bei looked at his face, and naturally saw the dissatisfaction and annoyance in Yuan Shao's eyes.

Liu Bei naturally didn't dare to offend Yuan Shao easily in such a situation, and hurriedly said: "At the beginning, Liu Bei didn't say how you were at the beginning, but felt sorry for you at the beginning." ”

"Pity? Hehe, what's so sorry about Yuan? Yuan Shao said disdainfully.

"Originally, you should have started early, taking advantage of Cao Cao's Xu Capital self-chaos, you are launching a campaign to send troops to attack Cao Cao, so, Cao Cao has no time to take care of Yanzhou, and the land of Yanzhou is not ready for you to capture at the beginning? At that time, at the beginning, you can directly direct the army to Xu Du, and Bei can also respond to the original in Xuzhou, so Cao Cao will be destroyed. At that time, you can have Yanzhou and Qingzhou at the beginning, and you can also get Cao Cao's Yingchuan area, Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Most of the Han Dynasty belong to you at the beginning, and even Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty can't match your power, and then the world can be determined. Don't ask for anything, but ask for a place where you can settle down. But...... Now there is no point in talking about these anymore, Liu Bei just feels a little sorry for the loss of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and now, Liu Bei is in trouble here, thank you for taking it in. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Yuan Shao.

"Uh......" Yuan Shao saw that Liu Bei was not angry at his ridicule, but also cleverly said the past, Yuan Shao was not good at losing Liu Bei's face anymore, so he had to smile at Liu Bei with a sneer: "Hehe, indeed, if you lose the missed opportunity, you will lose it, and there is no way, but it is not that Yuan intends to let this opportunity slip away from his hands, but to control the million army, and it is not an easy task to mobilize a million army, and it is definitely not a matter of time and a half." You came from Xuzhou via Qingzhou, you should have also seen that Yuan's army was still gathering, right? I was not prepared, and I couldn't send troops right away for a while. Well, Xuande, then you can stay in Yecheng first and recuperate. Come here, set up a banquet, and let Yuan and Uncle Liu Huang take care of the wind and wash the dust! ”

Liu Bei couldn't be killed, and Yuan Shao had no choice but to take Liu Bei in for the time being.

However, during the banquet, Yuan Shao saw that Liu Bei was still not happy because he had escaped a disaster and was contained by himself, and when he talked to himself, he also looked sad and absent-minded.

He pretended to be concerned and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, the matter has come to this, what else are you depressed about?" Cao Cao, I Yuan Shao will deal with it, and you will wait for my good news in Yecheng. ”

Liu Bei Zhengchou did not have the opportunity to persuade Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Cao Cao quickly, so that he could have the opportunity to seek another development, listening to Yuan Shao's inquiry, his face was even more bitter, and he said to Yuan Shao: "I don't know at the beginning, I am not worried about whether Cao Cao is destroyed, this matter has already been borne by the original force, and a certain will also send the emperor's blood edict to the original, Liu Bei has 10,000 hearts on the original, and knows that the Taoist will definitely eradicate the national thieves and correct the Han Dynasty." ”

Liu Bei was worried. It's just that the second brother and third brother who are worried about Bei, and the wife who is prepared are trapped in Cao thief, and the brother doesn't know where to go. His wife is in prison again. In this way, Liu Bei can't serve the country, can't protect his family, and is not worried? Liu Bei pretended to be a relative.

Yuan Shao's army was actually ready and could attack Cao Cao at any time. The reason for the delay in moving is that the opinions of the generals and ministers under his account have not been unified. There are words and words. After Zheng Xuan came, Yuan Shao was ready to attack Cao Cao. Two. It was Liu Bei's unauthorized announcement of the emperor's blood edict that made Yuan Shao feel heartwarmed, so he decided not to send troops immediately, until Liu Bei was destroyed by Cao Cao. Yuan Shao plans to send troops again.

Right now. Liu Bei had been defeated, and Yuan Shao felt that it was time to fight Cao Cao.

Although Yuan Shao didn't have a good impression of Liu Bei, now, he wanted to show his demeanor of winning a decisive victory, and show that he was also a wise man who was worried about the country and the people. Well, I'm going to send troops anyway, so it's better to sell Liu Bei. Comforted Liu Bei verbally and let others see. He also has the heart to help thieves.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao saw Liu Bei like this, he said to Liu Bei: "Xuande don't worry, Yuan is almost ready to attack Cao Cao now." Well, we can't just say no, right? Cao Cao coerced the emperor, and it was a great rebellion, and Yuan sent troops to fight against thieves, but he was a righteous soldier and would definitely destroy Cao Cao. Don't worry, when Cao Cao is destroyed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will be found for you, and your wife and children will be found, and they will be returned to you. ”

"Hehe, so even, then there is a beginning. Liu Bei was grateful. Liu Bei pretended to be moved, stood up in a hurry, toasted Yuan Shao, and after putting down the cup and sitting down, Liu Bei suddenly asked: "Then I don't know when Yuan Benchu will send troops?" Now Emperor Xian must be having a hard time, maybe he is looking through the autumn water, looking forward to you going to rescue him at the beginning, but I hate Liu Bei, and now I can't do anything. ”

"Ha Luha, look at Xuande, you are in a hurry." Yuan Shao stood up and waved his hand to his group of generals and strategists: "Everyone, can you hear what Uncle Liu Huang said?" Emperor Xian is now, living under Cao Cao's obscenity, waiting for us to save us, everyone said, are you ready? Are you ready to go on the expedition? ”

"My lord! As long as you give an order, I will wait for a million troops, and then we can set off, like a bamboo, wave the army to kill the thief, and take Cao Cao's head back to see the lord. ”

A group of generals, bold words.

"Hmph, a group of unscrupulous husbands, still dare to say that they will destroy Cao?"

Just when everyone was vowing, a voice that didn't quite fit the line sounded.

The hall was silent, and they all looked at the place where the voice started, but it was a place for literati and strategists.

"Oh? And now there are people who disagree? Who? "Yuan Shao is now waiting for him, and he is determined to send troops to fight against Cao Cao, if he doesn't send troops, then the campaign he initiated before against Cao Cao will only become a joke for the Han people. Moreover, if he doesn't say or do it, it will also make the world think that he Yuan Shao was afraid of Cao Cao and did not dare to declare war on Cao Cao.

What's more, Yuan Shao is still on the rise, and he wants to show his general demeanor in front of Liu Bei and his ministers, but there are still people who say these cool words, saying that he can't win against Cao Cao? Yuan Shao's heart was furious, and his eyes looked coldly at the place where the voice came from.

At those seats, they were all literati and strategists, and there were some literati with good relations, who would sit together for a banquet to facilitate their secret conversations.

Among them, Tian Feng is sharing a seat with Fu Zhu.

The speech just now is exactly what Fu Zhu said, and Tian Feng, because he has been here with Yuan Shao for so long, does not seem to have any intention of leaving and returning to the New Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao has also allowed Tian Feng to participate in some of his banquets, so Tian Feng will be here.

For the real wise men, they can see that Yuan Shao has missed the best opportunity to attack Cao Cao, and at this moment sent troops to fight Cao Cao, although Yuan Shao has the advantage in troops, but he is also worried about Yuan Shao's troops, and feels that Yuan Shao may not be able to defeat Cao Cao.

Fang Cai, Fu Zhi and Tian Feng whispered in a whisper, just discussing the question of how much chance Yuan Shao had of sending troops now.

In Tian Feng's heart, he naturally hoped that Yuan Shao would have a decisive battle with Cao Cao as soon as possible, so that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would lose both. However, together with the frustration that he talked to, the upright Tian Feng still truthfully discussed his thoughts with frustration.

However, the opinions of the two are very consistent, and they both think that Yuan Shao may not be able to defeat Cao Cao if he sends troops now.

Therefore, Yuan Shao's ministers, seeing that Yuan Shao and the generals didn't seem to take Cao Cao in their eyes, thinking that they would win, they would ridicule each other, wanting Yuan Shao and the generals to calm down.

Well, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have similar temperaments, and they are both loyal and outspoken. However, after all, Tian Feng has been an official in the court, and has been banned by Yuan Shao in Jizhou for so long, how much he knows how to observe his face and look at his face more than Fu Zhu, Tian Feng has already seen that Yuan Shao can no longer tolerate different opinions, and now, if anyone dares to disagree with Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops, it is tantamount to deeply offending Yuan Shao.

Frustrated was about to stand up and speak, Tian Feng knew that he was going to suffer, so he quickly pulled Frustrated Teach, stood up and said, "Hehe, it was Tian who said it." ”

"Oh?" Seeing that it was Tian Feng, Yuan Shao barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "Mr. Tian Feng, do you mean that Yuan's million-strong army can't defeat Cao Cao?" ”

"No, Tian just thinks that he can't underestimate the enemy in the first place." Tian Feng shook his head and said. (To be continued......)
