Jiujiang County, Yangzhou, on the north shore of Chaohu Lake.

Liu Bei took 3,000 men and horses under his command, plus 2,000 recruits recruited by Chen Deng from Guangling, totaling about 5,000, and penetrated deep into the territory of Yangzhou, with only one purpose, to exterminate the remnants of Yuan Yao's forces entrenched in Chaohu.

At this time, Jiujiang was actually the territory of Gao's army, Tai Shici led 30,000 troops stationed in Shouchun City in the north, and south of the Yangtze River, there were no less than 20,000 horses stationed in Xuancheng in Danyang County, which did not count the 50,000 troops of Sun Ce of Wu County in the east, Liu Bei admired himself a little for having such courage to break into Yangzhou.

Zhang Fei didn't have these worries, in his eyes, there was nothing difficult that the snake spear couldn't solve with a poke, if there was, then swing the snake spear twice.

"Big brother, little brother doesn't quite understand why the second brother didn't come out with us this time, so that the three brothers can go down freely together again?"

Liu Bei looked at the clouds in the sky in the distance, and said to himself, "Yide, don't you understand, Cao Cao has always been not at ease with us, and the second one volunteered to stay, also to be a hostage to Cao Cao."

"What" Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were already big, but now they were even bigger and terrifying, he clenched the snake spear angrily, "How can a person like the second brother stand this bird anger and wait for me to raise troops back and rescue the second brother"

Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei, "Yide can't be impulsive, among the five thousand people brought out this time, there is no lack of Cao Cao's eyeliner, you take them back to Xiapi, aren't you waiting for them all to mutiny?"

"Damn" Zhang Fei hatefully poked the snake spear on the stone beside him, and poked a hole in an instant, "Cao Cao is really bad to the bone, and he always tries his best to blackmail us"

Sun Qian came from afar and answered Zhang Fei's doubts, "Cao Cao is indeed not kind, but this time he also had to do it as a last resort, General Yide, you see, we now have the Gao family army stationed in front and back, and the number is not small, if you change it, I am afraid that the lord will think that the lord defected to the Gao family army in the name of exterminating Yuan Yao."

Liu Bei didn't speak, but his eyes were full of approval, obviously he acquiesced to Sun Gan's explanation.

"So that's the case, when I heard that there was a battle to fight, I really didn't think about it so much, and when I learned that there were Gao Yi's people and horses around, I thought that they wouldn't dare to fight me. Speaking of which, that Tai Shici remembers his skills well, but he never had a chance to fight again" Zhang Fei laughed, since he came out, let's have a good fight.

Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, "Although that Tai Shi Ci is powerful, he has been used by others, not to mention that he is the commander arranged by Gao Yi in Yangzhou, he will definitely not shoot easily, but Yuan Yao, his subordinate Ji Ling cannot be underestimated, the second brother fought with him for twenty rounds that day, although it was because I instructed the second brother not to give his full strength, but it is still visible"

"Hmph, little Ji Ling, I have ridden on my old Zhang's neck many times to, this time my old Zhang told him to die, big brother look at it, I can't take Ji Ling's dog life within ten rounds, and I have no face" After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he strode towards the soldiers who were training.

"Haha, the third brother always has this stinky temper, and I don't know how to change it" Liu Bei shook his head and looked at Zhang Fei's back, his eyes turned to Sun Gan, "Is there anything to be gained from Gongyou's trip?"

"Well, the harvest is not small," Sun Qian sighed, "It really took a little effort to persuade Shouchun's Tai Shi Ci not to send troops to attack us, if it weren't for Yuan Yao, a public enemy, it would be a question of whether I could come back safely."

Liu Bei was also relaxed, "I knew that there must be no problem in leaving this matter to you, and Gao Jiajun is targeting Cao Cao, not us, and Gao Yi has always wanted to fight us back, so he will definitely not kill them all." ”

Sun Gan was a little worried, "It's just that the lord, don't you think we can bring the troops out this time, or is it a little too smooth, I suspect that Cao Cao must be going to do something unseemly, so he deliberately took ours, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and let General Guan stay as a hostage, it seems to be seamless, thinking about it, it is tantamount to covering his ears and stealing the bell"

Liu Bei nodded, "I also thought of it, Cao Cao has always been able to thrive before, all relying on the weight of the imperial court, and now he has been made by Gao Yi from the central court to a thief, so he naturally wants to correct his name, there are many ways to correct his name, the fastest and most effective."

That kind of is another imperial court, although there is a suspicion of splitting the country, but as long as it can unite the forces of the princes from all over the country, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory"

Sun Qian looked at Liu Bei with admiration: "It turns out that the lord understands everything, but he just hides it in his heart and doesn't say it." ”

Liu Bei looked at Sun Gan with a smile, "It's better to say it, it's better to do it, and it's best to do it."

At this time, the Malay newspaper said, "Lord Qiqi, the fine work we sent out discovered the movement of Yuan Yaojun, which is in the area on the east bank of Chaohu Lake, with about more than 10,000 people, but it seems that there has been no food for many days, and there is no combat effectiveness."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, "Notify the whole army and open the east bank of Chaohu Lake"

At this time, in Shouchun City, Tai Shici also received a letter from Gao Yi, and immediately organized a team and ordered him to go to Chaohu Lake on a starry night, with only one task, to bring Yuan Yao back alive.

In response to Liu Bei's request, Tai Shici also lit a thousand men and horses, and slowly marched towards Chaohu Lake.

At the same time, Sun Ce also got the news, his first reaction was Ji Ling's safety, and he didn't have time to inform Zhou Yu, so he only led a few followers towards Chaohu Lake alone.

On the east bank of Chaohu Lake, Yuan Yao had just experienced a mutiny in his army, he still had 30,000 horses, but he had been out of food for many days, and he had no fighting spirit one by one, so he could only take refuge in the old Lei Book and Chen Lan, but Lei Book Chen Lan was originally born as a thief, and he didn't dare to do anything when Yuan Yao's power was strong, and now Yuan Yao has lost power, so he naturally doesn't take it seriously, and sees that Yuan Yao's army has no interests to be gained, and he actually attacks each other, and in the chaos, Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses trample on each other, plus those who were killed and those who escaped, lost most of them in less than a day.

"Oh no, Your Majesty, Liu Beijun has learned where we are, and he has already killed here"

A skinny soldier panicked, his eye sockets sunken, and his whole body looked like a skeleton.

Yuan Yao was shocked, but after learning that it was Liu Bei, he was not so worried, "What is there to be afraid of Liu Bei, his soldiers are not vulnerable at all, where is Ji Ling?"

"Weichen is here" Ji Ling was nearby, he heard Yuan Yao's order, and immediately came with a three-pointed two-edged knife.
