Although Liu Beiren was in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, his subordinates were stationed in Xiaopei, southwest of Pengcheng.

Xiaopei's position is a very important strategic location, and its distance from Pengcheng not only gives Pengcheng a certain strategic depth, but also can form a barrier for Pengcheng.

Whether it is Qingzhou in the north, Yuzhou in the west, or even Yangzhou in the south, no matter which direction the enemy army is coming, Xiaopei can send troops to form support at the fastest speed.

The two armies were at war, and there were many factors that affected the outcome of the war.

If someone sends troops to Pengcheng, as long as Pengcheng sticks to it, Xiao Pei's position can not only attack and harass behind him, cut off the enemy's supplies, but also directly rush to help.

If someone attacks Xiaopei, Pengcheng can send troops to rescue, prepare for the enemy in advance, Xiaopei and Pengcheng are each other's horns, Liu Bei's troops can see that their strategic vision is by no means ordinary.

In fact, with Liu Bei's thoughts, he is ready to leave Pengcheng and stay in Xiaopei, after all, with his own presence, his heart will be more steady.

However, some time ago, not only Mi Zhu came to visit him, but even Chen Deng of the Chen family of the Xuzhou clan also looked for him, which made Liu Bei notice a lot of unusualness.

From Mi Zhu and Chen Deng's words, a very important message was revealed, and Xuzhou Tao Qian wanted to give way.

Among them, Mi Zhu's attitude is more clear, and he is almost ready to say, "We are willing to serve Xuande Gong as the master." "That's it.

Of course, Mi Zhu didn't say this, but Mi Zhu privately gave Liu Bei a lot of money on behalf of the Mi family, which made Liu Bei, who had always been poor, overjoyed.

sighed in my heart, worthy of being from a big family, this shot is really generous.

Today, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were originally leading the army in Xiaopei, were also summoned to Pengcheng by Liu Bei.

"Big brother."

"Big brother." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly saluted when they saw Liu Bei.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth hooked up with a smile, and he greeted, "Two virtuous brothers, sit, sit." ”

"I don't know if my eldest brother called me to come, but there is something important?!" After taking a seat, Zhang Fei took the lead in speaking, and Guan Yu on the side also moved his eyes to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded and explained: "Originally, the eldest brother was going to go to Xiaopei to train with the two virtuous brothers, but now Peng Chengzhongwu feels that something may happen. Therefore, he did not leave for the time being. ”

After that, Liu Bei told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei what he had seen and heard before.

After Zhang Fei heard this, his face showed joy, "Big brother, this is a good thing, if you don't come forward as expected, this Xuzhou family has begun to seek a way back, and the eldest brother is the best candidate in their hearts." ”

"If you can get their support, the eldest brother is very likely to become the new Xuzhou pastor."

Liu Bei nodded first, and then sighed lightly, "What the third brother wants coincides with me, but this Xuzhou is the land of tigers and wolves." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou before, and his back road to Yanzhou was taken by Dong Zhuo, and now he has fled to Yuan Shao. ”

"Yuzhou Yuan Shu, it seems that he is also very jealous of Dong Zhuo, I heard that he has sent someone to Yangzhou."

"Dong Zhuo, who is worried about his brother, if Dong Zhuo's family also wants Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou before, then what should I do?"

"Before, no one cared about us, if I became the pastor of Xuzhou, I am afraid it would be difficult to get out."

Liu Bei explained, Zhang Fei, who was originally warm-hearted, fell silent, and Guan Yu's team of lying silkworms on the side were tightly locked, and they seemed to come to life.

In the hall, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were silent like this, and Dong Zhuo's two sons were like a mountain, overwhelming them.

After a long time, the silence in the hall was broken by Guan Yu, and he only heard him say slowly: "Big brother called my two brothers to come here for this matter, I must have a countermeasure in my heart?!" ”

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and said softly: "If you want to talk about this countermeasure......

Liu Bei smiled bitterly, and continued, "There is something to say, and there is nothing to say." ”

"Oh?!" Zhang Fei asked, "I wonder what the eldest brother thinks in his heart?" Why don't you say it, I'll wait for the total?! ”

Liu Bei nodded and responded: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

"I waited to enter Xuzhou from Qingzhou, first of all, of course, to help Tao Gongzu, and secondly, for the sake of the soldiers, to see if Xuzhou has no chance."

"Now this opportunity is in front of us, but it is difficult to grasp it, thinking that my brother's intention, if my brother can really take over Xuzhou, I will step up the training of soldiers This is one of them."

"As for the second, Brother Wei thinks that when contacting Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu, including Gongsun Bogui, especially the grievances between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Bogui, it is best to mediate one or two."

"Gongsun Zan is based on Youzhou, Yuan Benchu is based on Jizhou, Yuan Highway is based on Yuzhou, Yangzhou, plus Xuzhou, if they can fight Dong Zhuo together, they should have a few chances of winning."

"If not, I'm afraid it will only be broken by Dong Zhuo in the end."

When Zhang Fei heard this, he interjected, "Big brother, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are quite incompatible, and it may be very difficult to say that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are united. ”

At this time, Guan Yu on the side also spoke, "Not only the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but the grudge between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan is not so easy to resolve. ”

Liu Bei chuckled lightly and explained: "What the two virtuous brothers said is reasonable, but this time is different from the past, if you want to persuade them to quit the army, there is still a chance. ”

Zhang Fei shook his head, "Big brother, these people are all smart people, but it's the most unreasonable that these smart people are dizzy." ”

"If the eldest brother wants them to work together, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, no, not to mention working together, even if it is a boycott of the army, it will be very difficult."

"Tell them that Dong Zhuo is accumulating strength now? These people don't know which one in their hearts, which one doesn't know in their hearts, but now that everything has not fallen on them, they will naturally not be in a hurry. ”

"Why were the Six Kingdoms destroyed by Qin? It's not like that, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. ”

After Zhang Fei made a long speech, he sighed and was very unoptimistic about Liu Bei's countermeasures.

Liu Bei listened to Zhang Fei's words, shook his head, and said with a smile: "The third brother is reasonable. ”

"However, what Brother Wei said is different from the past, but it does not mean that Dong Zhuo is now big and others are invincible."

"Oh?!" Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Bei, "What does the big brother mean?" ”

Liu Bei chuckled and explained: "What Brother means is that there is now a key person between these parties who can mediate. ”

"Key person?!"

"Key person?!"

At this time, Guan Yu swept his long hair and said in a deep voice: "What the eldest brother said, but Cao Cao, Cao Mengde?!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed, "Second brother knows me!" ”

"I'm talking about Cao Cao!"

"Cao Cao was born in the family of the eunuch, and he already had old friends with Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway, and now Cao Cao fled to Yuan Shao, if this person can be used as a lobbyist, wouldn't it be good?!"
