Chapter 160: The Current Pattern of Forces (Ask for Recommendation)

In the following time, Liu Bei and Qin Yue chatted all the way, and from the conversation between the two, Zhou Yukun gradually learned about the recent changes in power.

First of all, starting from two months ago, after Cao Cao was escaped by Liu Bei in Xinye, he learned from the pain and has been recuperating in Xuchang, while digesting the territory and soldiers he took from Yuan Shao. Until a month ago, Xiliang Ma Teng's forces seemed to have begun to break with Cao Cao, and there were often some small-scale encounters between the two sides on the border of power, but most of them were defeated by Cao Cao's side, which made Liu Bei very puzzled.

No matter how much Cao Cao recuperates recently, he won't be defeated by Ma Teng so many times, you must know that Cao Cao has hundreds of thousands of troops, even if he is not elite enough, but with this number, he can crush the other party.

Regarding this, Qin Yue smiled faintly, and then explained to Liu Bei that this was Cao Cao's plan to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, because although Ma Teng's cavalry was not many, they were all elite, and it would take a lot of troops to completely swallow Ma Teng. What's more, Cao Cao's recent target is us, and there is no way to allocate too many troops to fight Ma Teng. Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to retreat as an advance, intending to bring Ma Teng into the interior and annihilate him in one fell swoop.

After that, the two talked about the princes in other places, and on the whole, there was not much change, Liu Zhang sat on Yizhou as stable as Mount Tai, Zhang Lu was entrenched in Hanzhong and developed rapidly, but Sun Ce's side has made a big move recently, and most of the territory of Jiaozhou was taken away in a short period of time. And Liu Bei's Liu Biao power has changed the most, because now even Jingzhou is no longer surnamed Liu!

Speaking of this matter, we have to mention the letter that Zhou Yukun got before, from which it can be seen that Cao Cao seems to have bought Cai Mao and asked him to take the opportunity to take Liu Bei in secret. But unfortunately, this plan was destroyed by Zhou Yukun by accident, and he also got the letter.

Not long after, Liu Bei received this letter from Qin Yue, and in a panic, he hurried to find Liu Biao and asked him to be careful, after all, the two are still in a cooperative relationship. But Liu Bei didn't expect that the conversation he came to find Liu Biao was overheard by Mrs. Cai.

Speaking of which, this Mrs. Cai is indeed a beauty, but she is also a beauty with good acting skills. She has nothing to do with Liu Biao in reality, but in a dream, she took the initiative to seduce him, haunted the soul of Liu Biaogou, and married this Mrs. Cai back not long after.

Who knew that on the night of the eavesdropping, Mrs. Cai secretly assassinated Liu Biao, and took over his power, becoming the largest authority in Jingzhou. So, Mrs. Cai quickly sent soldiers to chase down Liu Bei, who remained in Jingzhou City. Fortunately, with the hard protection of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, with the full strength of the two, they quickly escaped from the encirclement and fled back to Jiangxia City, which has also become Liu Bei's only stronghold now.

Hearing this, even Zhou Yukun had already understood that Mrs. Cai was probably also bought by Cao Cao, and then saw that Cai Mao's matter was exposed, so she hurriedly took the opportunity to attack Liu Biao and Liu Bei. Alas, this woman is really hard enough, in order to win the trust of Liu Biao, she did not hesitate to sell her body to do things for Cao Cao, I really don't understand how Cao Cao made this person die?

Finally, after chatting about other people's affairs, the two began to discuss their own path from now on. And now what is lost to Qin Yue is not a mess, there is Cao Cao, who dominates the side, in the north, and there is the Jingzhou army that is constantly chasing and killing in the west. Then, the only good news now is that Liu Bei has never had a grudge with Eastern Wu before, which means that the most reliable thing now is Sun Ce's forces in the east!

Speaking of which, the faces of both of them gradually showed emotional expressions, and the current situation is so similar to history, Liu Bei will eventually unite with Eastern Wu to resist Cao Cao, is it possible to say that an earth-shattering Chibi battle will be staged in the end?

However, all this must be based on the agreement of Eastern Wu to unite, and if Sun Ce does not agree, then all this is empty talk. Speaking of this, Liu Bei sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Alas, it's just a pity that I don't have any acquaintances in the generals of Dongwu, and I don't know Sun Ce, how can I persuade him to agree to our union!" ”

Zhang Fei scratched his head and looked at Liu Bei with some incomprehension: "Big brother, why are you so worried, I think Sun Ce has no reason not to agree." You see, in history, we can defeat Cao Cao's million-strong army, and it shouldn't be difficult now! ”

Who knew that Liu Bei became even more frustrated: "Third brother, you don't understand, it is precisely because we won the Battle of Chibi so beautifully in history that Cao Cao will be more vigilant." Besides, it is too thrilling for us to win in history, and if one of them goes wrong, it will lead to the loss of everything. If the probability of our victory was only 1 percent at that time, then the probability of winning now is probably less than 1 in 1,000. ”

Qin Yue also smiled and looked at this honest strong man: "Your eldest brother is right, but I don't think we are completely hopeless, because we now have a very important role for Sun Ce in our hands." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yukun, who was silently "listening to the play" on the side.

Soon, the day's hurried journey was spent in the conversation of several people. And Zhou Yukun was woken up by a noisy ringtone, frowned and opened his eyes, and saw that the mobile phone showed that it was Steward Li.

Steward Lee? What did he call me for...... Well, wait, is it because of what happened to Hu Yueyue yesterday? Thinking of this, Zhou Yukun instantly came to his senses and immediately connected the phone: "Hey? Steward Li, is there something wrong with calling so early? ”

Steward Li's voice came from the phone: "That...... Mr. Zhou Yukun, do you have time now? ”

Zhou Yukun replied in amazement: "Today and Sunday, I have nothing to do, what's wrong?" ”

"Ahem, it's a little unclear on the phone, can you please come to the master's house now? If I could, then I'd pick you up right now! ”

"Oh, okay, I'm fine, you can come over now." After speaking, Zhou Yukun heard Steward Li hang up the phone. With a question mark full of questions, Zhou Yukun hurriedly got up and washed up, then got dressed and ran to the school gate.

It didn't take long for Zhou Yukun to see Steward Li personally driving to pick him up. Along the way, Steward Li just drove the car without saying a word, but looking at his strange expression, it must be that something happened to Hu Yueyue again.

Since it is not yet the rush hour, the traffic flow is not very large, and Steward Li's driving skills are indeed first-class, and soon the two came to the gate of Hu Yueyue's house.

After getting out of the car, Steward Li didn't even bother to lock the door, so he took Zhou Yukun and hurriedly walked towards the door. But before Steward Li came to the door, the door suddenly opened by itself, almost startling Zhou Yukun, could it be that Hu Yueyue began to get sick again and threw things around?

I saw a flower in front of me, and with a "poof", a pink figure rushed into Zhou Yukun's arms, almost knocking him into vomiting blood, judging from the impact here, it must be Hu Yueyue.

Just as Zhou Yukun was about to hurriedly withdraw and leave, he didn't want to be slammed by Hu Yueyue again! When he suddenly saw Hu Yueyue in his arms raise his head, his eyes revealed deep longing and dependence, where were there any signs of illness. But then Hu Yueyue's words almost didn't scorch Zhou Yukun's rays and their inside, because she said such a paragraph in a coquettish tone.

"Mom, you're finally back, Yueyue misses you so much!"
