"Caught Xu Chu?" Liu Wei was very surprised, "Quickly send someone to Hanyuan Hall and let me ask!" ”

I think that back then, when I was still the king of Hongnong, I withdrew my troops from Hujiao Pass to Jiangdong, and went to Xu Chu's dock fort to visit through Qiaojun, but unfortunately I missed it, and Xu Chu had already defected to Cao Cao. Later, he repaired the book to recruit Xu Chu, which was like a mud cow entering the sea, but he didn't expect to become his own prisoner three years later.

Xu Chu's injuries were fine after treatment, but they were not light, and he was absolutely unable to get out of bed and walk for 20 months. After Liu Wei gave the order, he was carried to Hanyuan Hall on a stretcher by four brocade guards.

The year before last, when Liu Wei destroyed the Yuan clan and took Wancheng, Cao Cao led a large army to suppress the border, and Xu Chu was in the army at that time, although he did not talk to him, he had met. After three years, Xu Chu has not changed much, he is still as burly and majestic as before, with a simple expression, but he looks a little depressed after being a prisoner.

"Xu Zhongkang, do you remember what I once asked you to repair and solicit?" Liu Wei asked with a smile, and instructed Jinyiwei to open Xu Chu's shackles.

"Thank you for your care!" Xu Chu moved his sore hands, lay on the stretcher and thanked him repeatedly, "The villain naturally remembers His Majesty's love, but he has already defected to Cao Gong in advance, and he has been relied on as a left and right guard, and he treats each other very well, and he can't bear to leave." What's more, Duke Cao is the minister of His Majesty, and serving Duke Cao is serving His Majesty! ”

Unexpectedly, the honest Xu Chu defended himself with a straight head, Liu Wei smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, then you will serve by my side in the future, anyway, you are the same by Cao Cao's side as you are by my side." ”

Xu Chu's head shook like a rattle: "That's not good, then the world will laugh at me Xu Chu is a villain who is greedy for wealth and wealth, and forgets his righteousness." Anyway, I'm a courtier of His Majesty on either side. Or would you like to ask Your Majesty to let me go back to Yecheng? I have too much food, so I can save some food for my majesty! ”

"Xu Zhongkang, I ask you. Since you say that Cao Cao is my courtier, then why did you pretend to be my general and rob Sun Shangxiang? Liu Wei smiled. Shen Sheng asked.

Xu Chu looked wronged: "Your Majesty, don't blame Duke Cao, Duke Cao is deeply favored by His Majesty, how can he betray the court?" The reason why we were sent to infiltrate Xiangyang and assassinate Sun Shangxiang was because Cao Gong hated Liu Bei's ungrateful behavior and the marriage of Sun Ce, the wolf's ambition. There is no other intention, please also ask Your Majesty xià Mingjian! ”

Seeing that Xu Chu was desperate for Cao Cao, Liu Wei also knew that there was no hope of subduing, if it weren't for the kindness he had previously solicited by repairing the book. Maybe he'll be scolding at this moment. And Xu Chu is just a martial artist, he can't command and resourcefulness, and there is no need to make too much effort to solicit, so it is better to keep it as a bargaining chip with Cao Cao.

"Come on, temporarily detain Xu Chu in the post house, be entertained, and I will deal with it after communicating with Cao Cao!"

Liu Wei waved his hand and motioned for Li Yuanfang to escort Xu Chu down; Then he sent a messenger to Yecheng to inform Cao Cao. Xu Chu fell into his own hands, see how Cao Cao reacted?

At this time, it was already the middle of the lunar month, the north and south of the river were cold, and the soldiers and horses of all the princes had entered a dormant period. If you want to use the sword soldiers, you will have to wait at least until the end of the first spring of next year, and the general trend of the world has temporarily stabilized.

Cheng Yanjin grabbed Sun Shangxiang and brought him back to his Yiting camp, looking at the heroic little beauty. I was very fond of it, and I begged with a hippie smile: "Miss Shangxiang." I Cheng Zhijie is only thirty-three in his twenties this year, and he has not yet married a wife. How about you make me a wife? I, Lao Cheng, am willing to save your brother's life! ”

"Bah,, shameless!" Sun Shangxiang, who was tied hand and foot behind his back, spat at Cheng Biting Jin and foamed at the face, "My father and brother are both heroes in the world, what are you?" You're just a miscellaneous general, what are you going to do to save my brother's life? ”

Cheng Yanjin was not angry, slowly wiped off the foam on his face, and said with a smile: "Let your brother surrender to me, I will give the Son of Heaven a letter, and I will definitely spare your brother's life." ”

Sun Shangxiang looked disdainful: "Although my brother is at a disadvantage, he still has more than 100,000 horses in his hands, and he can poke you into a hole with one shot!" Even if you want to surrender, you will vote for Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, or even Zhuge Liang, why do you want to vote for an unknown general? Kill me quickly, and my brother will avenge me sooner or later! ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly let out a wicked laugh: "Do you believe that this general overlord made a bow and forcibly married you?" Raw rice is cooked and cooked, I see if your brother is willing to kill my brother-in-law? ”

Cheng Biting Jin was about to tear Sun Shangxiang's clothes as he spoke, Sun Shangxiang was anxious and angry, and begged with a whim: "If you really like me, then you will lead your troops to surrender to my brother and marry me in a beautiful way." ”

"Sister Xiangxiang, I don't read much, don't tease me! I led my troops to surrender to your brother, and it's no wonder that Sun Ce's brother-in-law didn't dismantle me! No matter what you say today, you can't change the result, and after today, you will be Mrs. Cheng! Cheng Yanjin pounced on him with a wicked smile, and pressed Sun Shangxiang on the bed, about to be rude.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and someone broke into Cheng Yanjin's handsome tent.

Cheng Yanjin was furious, got up and turned his head: "Didn't Lao Tzu say that no one is allowed to trespass without instructions?" Who would dare to disobey the general's orders? ”

"What are you doing Cheng teasing?" It was not Cheng Biting Jin's subordinates who entered the handsome tent, but Yang Qilang with a frosty face.

When he saw a girl about thirteen years old tied to Cheng Biting Jin's bed, Yang Qilang, who was jealous and hateful, was furious. An arrow stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Biting Jin's shirt and lifted it up, and the punch of "Bang" bit Jinmian in the middle of the way, and two nosebleeds suddenly flowed out.

"Okay, you became a goblin, you actually learned the king of the mountain, and did the act of robbing the people's daughters, and ruined the reputation of my Han army, believe it or not, I wrote a book to impeach you? Let you go to the prison of the Criminal Department for a few years? ”

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly covered his nosebleed, and muttered rhetorically: "Yang Qiwolf, why did you come to the Pavilion?" ”

"Sun Shangxiang was robbed, Liu Bei's military movements were abnormal, Kong Ming was afraid that the Shu army would go down the river, so he specially ordered me to assist you in defending the Yaoting, I didn't expect to see you doing this kind of thing just after I came!" Yang Qilang reprimanded with residual anger.

Cheng Yanjin covered his nose and pointed to Sun Shangxiang on the bed: "Isn't this Sun Shangxiang?" ”

"What? Sun Shangxiang was actually arrested by you? Yang Qilang couldn't cry or laugh, "Liu Bei is looking for it, Sun Ce is looking for it, His Majesty is also looking for it, and everyone in the world is guessing Sun Shangxiang's whereabouts." was actually hidden by your handsome tent, and you want the overlord to bow hard, how many heads do you have? ”

Cheng Biting Jin was startled, and his lust heart suddenly dispersed, so he could only send someone to load Sun Shangxiang on a boat, take advantage of the night to go down the river, and escort him to Jinling to be handed over to the Son of Heaven for disposal.

In Chengdu, which is thousands of miles away, the temperature is much warmer than in the north.

After receiving Liu Feng's report, Liu Bei immediately summoned his subordinates and said impassionedly: "I regarded Liu Wei as the emperor, I thought he was a Ming monarch with both ability and political integrity, but who knew that the imperial aunt who robbed him by force was unbearable?" I married Sun Ce, and I wanted to use Huairou's strategy to persuade Sun Ce and save the people of Jingxiang from the suffering of swords. In any case, Sun Shangxiang is also my wife and concubine, and this Liu Wei sent someone to forcibly take him away, which really chilled Bei's heart! ”

Zhang Song came out and said: "Since Liu Biao has no way, the lord does not need to assist him anymore, Song is willing to repair a letter and crusade against the faint monarch Liu Bian!" ”

"The lord can serve Luoyang Liu Xie as the emperor, echo the north and south, and then try a good strategy after occupying Jingzhou." Pang Tong also came out of the list and put forward his own construction.

Liu Bei immediately ordered Zhang Song to write a letter to inform the world to crusade against Liu Wei.

first added fuel and vinegar to the smear of Liu Bian's robbery of his imperial aunt, and then brought about Liu Bian's lack of learning and skill when he was a teenager, and was reprimanded by Emperor Ling for "frivolous and unprestigious, not to be the master", and said that Empress Dowager He killed Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren, mother and son are people without talent and virtue, and they are not worthy of being emperors. He should act for heaven and lead the righteous army to fight.

After the text was issued, Liu Bei sent Qin Mi to Luoyang to visit Liu Xie, offer gifts, express his intention to get married, and jointly crusade against Liu Wei, a lawless and faint king. Under the instruction of Yang Jian, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and others, Liu Xie issued an edict, rewarding Liu Bei with the title of "King of Hanzhong", and ordering him to lead the Bashu soldiers to the south to crusade against Liu Wei.

After making friends with the Luoyang court, Liu Beixiu ordered the Guan Yu army stationed in Shangyong to attack Yue Fei's rear Wancheng after the beginning of spring, and used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao to relieve the siege of Xiangyang. He also ordered Zhang Fei to be the main general, Fu Youde to be the deputy general, with Pang Tong and Fa Zheng as military advisors, and led Wu Sangui, Wu Ban, Lei Tong, Yan Yan, Chen Shi and other generals to lead 50,000 troops down the river, out of Ba County, through Zigui, until Xiling, when the spring flowers bloomed, "take over Jiangling", and then relieve the siege of Changsha.

When the news reached Jinling, Liu Wei also ordered Chen Lin to draft a letter and scolded Liu Bei for being bloody, saying that he was loyal on the outside, but treacherous on the inside. was originally a mat weaver and peddler, and he was not posthumously regarded as a descendant of the royal family because of his humility, but he colluded with the traitor Sun Ce to commit rebellion, and the wolf's ambition was clearly revealed. Sooner or later, a large army will be raised, break through Bashu, and hang its head outside the gate of Chengdu to set an example.

Both sides say that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, but everyone in the world understands that it is nothing more than because the shape and power have reached the point of meeting each other, and it doesn't matter what they say, and it is the royal way to win the war with military strength. After all, if you win, you will represent justice, and if you lose, you will be stinking for 10,000 years!

Since Liu Bei's reaction was so rapid, after discussing with the Manchu civil and military, Liu Wei believed that the relationship with Cao Cao had to be maintained for the time being. Ran Min and Gongsun Zan were expelled from Jizhou by Cao Cao, Cao Cao had completely occupied Jizhou, and his strength was getting stronger day by day, and if he went to war with Cao Cao again, the situation would inevitably deteriorate.

The current strategy should let Li Jing and Qin Qiong stick to the north, and order Yue Fei, Wei Qing, Han Shizhong, and Huo Qubing to carry Liu Bei's reinforcements at the same time, and strive to eliminate Sun Ce within half a year, and then fight Liu Bei head-on and march into Bashu.
