Luoyang Qinwang Mansion back garden lake.

Liu Biantie blushed, looking at the lake and not speaking for a long time.

Shouchun and Xia Cai were lost one after another, and the Qin army killed countless soldiers in battle, and the results were only given to the Cao army in a few days.

The news spread to Luoyang, and when Liu Wei learned about this, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Perhaps it was because the Qin army had always been too smooth, even if it lost one or two places, it would not be long before it would be recaptured from the enemy, Liu Wei still couldn't believe that in Shouchun and Xia Cai, the Qin army was completely defeated.

When he learned that the two cities had fallen, his first reaction was to ask the messenger who reported the news how the soldiers of the Qin army were guarding the two places.

Knowing that the soldiers of the Qin army had not suffered major losses, they had joined forces near Xudu and would return to Luoyang in a few days, Liu Wei was relieved.

Standing by the lake, looking at the sparkling blue lake, Liu Wei's face became more and more ugly.

Although he did not express his disappointment in the loss of the two places in front of his advisers and generals, after leading Wang Liu and Wang Zhen to the lake, thinking about the complete defeat of the Qin army this time, he still felt a burst of boredom in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness......" has been following Liu Wei for a long time, and he has already been able to have a certain grasp of his feelings, looking at Liu Wei's back, seeing that he has some vicissitudes, Wang Liu gently called him.

Standing by the lake, hearing Wang Liu's call, Liu Wei did not turn around.

His eyes were still looking at the lake, and what came to his mind was still the imaginary scene of the defeat of the Qin army and soldiers.

Without Xia Cai and Shouchun, the Qin army's encirclement of Cao Cao was completely broken, and if the Qin army wanted to advance to Xu Capital in the future, it would be much more difficult than having these two places as the foundation.

Liu Wei didn't say anything, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen glanced at each other, and their expressions showed a trace of worry.

"How happened to Yuan Benchu?" After a long time, Liu Wei finally spoke, but what he asked was not the specific battle situation between Xia Cai and Shouchun, but about Yuan Benchu in Hebei.

Hearing that Liu Wei finally spoke, Wang Liu hurriedly said: "Yuan Benchu has already gathered the three armies and issued a document to crusade against Cao Cao, presumably in less than two days, the Hebei army will move south to attack Cao Cao!" ”

Knowing that Yuan Shao's army would set off from Hebei in a few days, the look on Liu Wei's face became more and more lonely.

The Battle of Guandu is approaching, and Liu Wei, who still has some knowledge of this battle in history, knows that if he doesn't do something, I'm afraid that history will continue to advance as it was.

How easy it is to change the overall situation of history!

Sighing softly, thinking of the recent battles between him and Cao Cao, Liu Wei felt a little dazed in his heart.

The strength of the Qin army is world-famous, and when it came to crusading against Gongsun Zan and breaking Yuan Shu, the Qin army almost did not use any power to wipe out the two heroes.

But since he started a conquest with Cao Cao, this advantage of the Qin army is gone, not only that, but in many cases, the Qin army will even be pressed and beaten by the Cao army.

Maybe Cao Cao shouldn't have been defeated!

Thinking of this, Liu Wei's brows twisted again, and he was also full of worries about the outcome of the battle of Guandu.

Just when Liu Wei was worried about the outcome of the battle of Guandu, Wang Zhen clenched his fists and said to him: "Your Royal Highness, a few days ago, Yuan Shao sent Fu Zhu and Tian Feng to prison!" ”

"Oh?" The imprisonment of Fu Zhu and Tian Feng was a prelude to the battle of Guandu, and when he heard this news, Liu Wei hurriedly turned his face to Wang Zhen and asked, "Do you know why the two of them went to prison?" ”

"The two analyzed the situation and said that our army would be defeated in Xia Cai and Shouchun, and if Yuan Shao waved his troops south, it would definitely be broken by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao was enraged, so he put these two people in prison!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Wang Zhen truthfully answered the reason why the two were imprisoned.

After learning from Wang Zhen that Fu Zhu and Tian Feng were imprisoned by Yuan Shao, Liu Wei knew that if he didn't make a move this time, these two would definitely be killed by Yuan Shao, so he hurriedly shouted to the guards on the side: "Go and summon Xu Shu to see this king!" ”

"No!" One of the guards received Liu Wei's order, bowed with his fists and took two steps back, then turned around and took a big stride towards the front yard of the palace.

"Your Royal Highness, don't you want to ......" Liu Wei asked the guards to invite Xu Shu, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who had been following him for a long time, saw his intentions, and Wang Liu whispered to him: "These two people have no form, but they are cursing my army to defeat Xia Cai!" Your Highness still wants to rescue them? ”

"Curse my army, and my army will fail?" Looking sideways at Wang Liu, Liu Wei's face showed a strange smile, and he said to Wang Liu: "If the army is defeated, there must be a certainty. These two people can see the certainty, if this king wins them, what is the difference between him and 100,000 heroes? ”

I have always known that Liu Wei is generous, but I never thought that he would be so generous.

The words of Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, no matter who they put on them, after listening to them, they will feel unpleasant in their hearts.

But when Liu Wei heard that the two of them said that the Qin army would be defeated in Xia Cai and Shouchun, not only did they not get angry, but they wanted to rescue the two of them very much, which really made Wang Liu and Wang Zhen feel a little confused.

After standing by the lake for a long time, Xu Shu, who was summoned by Liu Wei, hurriedly came to Liu Wei's side under the guidance of a guard.

Before Liu Wei approached, Xu Shu just clenched his fists with both hands, and before he had time to salute Liu Bian, Liu Wei raised his hand towards him and said: "The military advisor doesn't need to be polite, this time the king has something to worry about the military division, please go to Yecheng to take a walk!" ”

Liu Wei said that he wanted him to go to Yecheng for a walk, and Xu Shu, who had just bowed down, stood up straight and asked him: "Didn't Your Highness ask your subordinates to go and take Tian Feng and Fu Zhi to Luoyang?" ”

"The military advisor is really clear-minded!" Yuan Shao was sending troops, and at this time, Liu Wei asked Xu Shu to go to Yecheng, and there were many things worth doing, but as soon as Xu Shu opened his mouth, he guessed that Liu Wei wanted him to bring Tian Feng and Fu Zhu back to Luoyang, which made Liu Wei also a little happy.

"Your Highness!" Standing in front of Liu Bian, Xu Shu's expression showed a trace of hesitation, and he pondered a little before he said to Liu Bian: "That Tian Feng and Fu Zhu collided with Yuan Shao in court, which has offended Yuan Shao tightly, His Royal Highness thinks, what kind of reason should Yuan Shao go to ask for it, and Yuan Shao will let these two come to Luoyang?" ”

When he asked Liu Wei these words, Xu Shu actually had a plan in his heart, and the reason why he didn't say it was because Xu Shu didn't want to show too much in front of Liu Wei.

In any case, Liu Wei is a master after all.

Although most of the time, the Ming Lord will listen to the advice of the people around him, but they also need to show their talents and abilities in some things.

If everything steals the limelight from Liu Wei, Xu Shu will feel that his current position will one day be unstable.

Liu Wei did not suspect that Xu Shu had something in his heart, and bowed his head and muttered for a moment before saying to Xu Shu: "Didn't these two say that my Great Qin soldiers will definitely lose in the battle of Shouchun and Xia Cai?" You went to Yecheng this time, putting on a posture of asking for guilt, but you were clamoring that you wanted to send these two people to Luoyang and be convicted by this king, and Yuan Shao would not refuse! ”

"Your Highness is wise! Your Majesty will act according to His Highness's plan! Clenched his fists and bowed, and praised Liu Wei, Xu Shu said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty retires!" ”

Nodding to Xu Shu, Liu Wei watched him turn around and leave quickly.

It wasn't until Xu Shu's back disappeared into Liu Wei's field of vision that Liu Wei's eyes narrowed, as if he was talking to himself: "The Hebei army is going south, and this king doesn't know how many talents he can get this time!" ”

Liu Wei's words were an understatement, and it didn't seem like he was saying to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen at all.

Standing beside him, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen didn't interject, the two of them were not like Liu Bian, who knew the general process of many things, and they wouldn't understand why Liu Biao suddenly came up with such a sentence.

On the day Xu Shu set off for Yecheng, Jia Xu, Tai Shici, and Zhang Liao had already led a large army to join Lu Bu in Yuzhou.

When the army converged, the Cao army under Xiahoudun had also arrived at the boundary of Xudu.

There was a great contrast between the two sides in terms of military strength, and the Qin army led by Jia Xu and others almost fell into a situation where there was no logistical supply and a lone army went deep, and the Cao army gradually formed a situation of encirclement against them.

If you delay here for too long, you will definitely be annihilated by Cao's army.

Jia Xu and the others briefly summed it up and decided to return to Luoyang immediately through Xuanyuan Pass.

The Qin army near Xudu withdrew, and Cao Cao in the city did not feel anything to be surprised about, and the final result of this battle with the Qin army had long been expected by Guo Jia and others.

Once the Qin army retreats to Luoyang, the Qingzhou army will immediately defend Xuanyuan Pass, and when the Hebei army goes south, Cao Cao will be able to transfer all the elites to fight Yuan Shao to the death!

All of them were under Cao Cao's control, but Cao Cao was still somewhat afraid of the Hebei army going south.

After all, Yuan Shao had an army of 300,000, while Cao Cao's available troops were only 70,000.

Although the combat strength of the Hebei army is not as good as that of the Qin army, it is not a straggler like the Qingzhou army that can be stopped, and Cao Cao can only rely on the elite main force under his command.

In the city of Xudu, in the mansion of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sat in the front hall, and in the front hall, apart from him, there was only Guo Jia.

Sitting opposite Cao Cao, the look on Guo Jia's face was always indifferent, but between Cao Cao's eyebrows, there was a faint worry.

"Our army has already occupied Xia Cai and Shouchun, as long as the Qingzhou army guards the Xuanyuan Pass, the Qin army will be difficult to advance for a while!" Sighing lightly, Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia, and said to Guo Jia with a little uncertainty in his tone: "But that Yuan Shao, with an army of 300,000 under his command, is going south together, and a certain army is insufficient, how to resist?" ”

"Ming Gong doesn't need to worry!" Smiling slightly, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Yuan Shao's army is going south, and it is the time when Ming Gong seized Hebei!" Once Hebei is pacified, in the Central Plains, in addition to the King of Qin, who else has the strength to compete with the Ming Duke in the world? ”
