At the end of June of the third year of Yong'an, Wang Li assumed the post of general, and urgently transferred Tai Shici, Zhang He, Xu Rong, Gong Du and Liu Pi to the east to march eastward to assist Hanoi Taishou Mao Jue to prevent Yuan Shao's Jizhou military horses from invading Sizhou.

He personally led an army of 80,000 and a cadre of Wenchen such as Xun You, Guo Jia, Fu Zhu and Xu Shu, and a number of generals such as Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun went south to Nanyang to prepare to use troops in Yuzhou.

In the same month, after Cao Cao left Cao Chun and Liu Ye to guard Yanzhou, he also personally led Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Yu Ban and Cheng Yu and others, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses to take Chen Di and march to Yuzhou County.

Sun Jian was divided by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu into Jiangdong Yuzhang and Linhai counties, and he also led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Ling Cao to unite Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang to wave 30,000 troops to Hefei County, Huainan County.

The three-way army, with a total of 160,000 people, besieged Yuan Shu from Runan, Qianjun and Huainan.

However, what the princes of the world did not expect was that the first battle of the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Shu was actually fought in a lesser-known county called Huaiyuan (now Bengbu).

And this shot, uh no, it should be said that it is this knife and this sword that is the new imperial uncle Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Xuzhou Assassin History.

……

The clock is back to 10 days ago.

"Brother!"

On this day, Liu Bei was dealing with daily affairs in the Assassin's Mansion, when a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the mansion, and Zhang Fei's loud voice had broken through the air and shocked Liu Bei's ears.

Liu Bei reluctantly put down the file in his hand, rubbed his forehead, and raised his head: "Third brother, what is the so-called thing about being in such a hurry?" But there were fighters in the market, or was it whose cattle were stolen again? ”

Zhang Fei stepped forward, grabbed the file on the desk and put it aside, and said impatiently: "Brother, Zhang Fei is just a reckless rough man, who likes to fight and battlefield, where is the patience to take care of the trivial matters of Zhang's family, Li Jiaxiao?"

Brother, you are the head of a state, and you are also a hero-like character, the male husband should be a three-foot dragon spring rampant in the world, these chicken feathers and fragments of the short things in the family, Gongyou and Zizhong are the two gentlemen are the best at it, why do you bother to bow down to everything. ”

"Yide, Gongyou and Zizhong are very kind to me, and you must not talk nonsense behind my back!" Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei fiercely, and then said, "Moreover, this Xuzhou is under the jurisdiction of Taozhou Mu, Fang Xingzhengai, a clear and clear country, where is there so much blood on the battlefield?"

The three of my brothers have been running around for more than ten years, but the result is that there is no place for heroes, and their lives are lost. The foolish brother has just sat on the position of Xuzhou Thorn History, and he has some foundation, how can he not be conscientious and conscientious? Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Taozhou Mu's kindness?

It's not that the foolish brother said you, you are determined to serve your family and country and become famous in battle, since you have so much time to hang out, why not learn from your second brother to watch more Spring and Autumn at home and master a few more art of war? lest when the war comes in the future, you will still only be reckless and murderous! ”

"Now the war is coming." Zhang Fei touched his head in a daze, muttering in his mouth, the sound was like a mosquito and a fly, inaudible, Zhang Fei's loud voice should have been reprimanded by Liu Bei like a daughter-in-law with bound feet.

"What did you say?" Even if Zhang Fei lowered his voice, Liu Bei was still clearly recognizable, and he stood up suddenly, his eyes shot at Zhang Fei like lightning, "But Cao Mengde has come to my Xuzhou again?" ”

Zhang Fei took out a newspaper from his arms and handed it to Liu Bei: "This is the newspaper sent by the imperial court in an urgent manner for 800 miles just now, Cao Cao did not go to Xuzhou, but Yuan Shu, a thief, rebelled!" ”

Yuan Shu is reversed? It seems that there is no need to hide in the dragon Xuzhou as a state!

Liu Bei was suddenly startled, opened the newspaper and hurriedly read it, a trace of joy and ambition flashed in his eyes, and he shouted at the guards: "Quickly pass on Zizhong, Gongyou, Yuanlong, Yun Chang and Uncle Zhi to come to the mansion to discuss matters!" ”

Soon, several people had already arrived at the Assassin's Mansion.

"Yuzhou Yuan Shu usurped the throne and called the emperor, built the name Zhongshi, and set the capital Shouchun!" Liu Bei said lightly, handed the report to everyone and continued, "Benzhou sent someone to invite you to come here, just to invite you to negotiate together and see what I should do in Xuzhou at this moment?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Sanye, who was still angry just now, immediately resurrected with all his blood: "What else is there to discuss?" My brother is a rare hero in the world, how do you always do things as a mother-in-law? Why don't my brother light up the soldiers and horses now, and my second brother and I will go straight to Shouchun to catch that Yuan Shu'er under the horse, and also teach my brother to become famous in the world? ”

"Third brother, shut up!" Guan Yu tried his best to restrain the excitement on his face, and shouted at Zhang Fei with a flushed face, "This matter has my brother and a few gentlemen to discuss, what are you talking about here?" ”

These two brothers really deserve to be my siblings Liu, one directly told my thoughts to the public, and the other covered up for me.

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction, arched his hand to Sun Gan and the three of them, and said: "Let you gentlemen laugh, the third brother has always been impatient, and he doesn't know how important he is, please don't worry about the third brother in terms of face in Benzhou, or please discuss the current situation in Xuzhou!" ”

Although this Zhang Fei is reckless, he is not straightforward, and he respects the scholar quite a lot, but this Guan Yu usually looks arrogant when he sees us, but at this time, he wants to show the expression of Corporal Lixian, which is really ridiculous.

Chen Deng laughed secretly, got up and saluted Liu Bei: "Lord, the three generals' temperament is straightforward and true, Chen is extremely envious, how can you blame him?" It was the words of the three generals, but Chen felt that it was in line with the current situation.

Preemptively, then preemptively. I Xuzhou Langya, East Pengcheng and Xiapi are bordered by Yuzhou and Yangzhou, now Yuan Shu has 200,000 troops, sitting in Henan, Yang two states, rebellion, if you sit and watch its momentum, my Xuzhou will inevitably become the food in its mouth.

Yuan Shu's treason is well known to the world, and it is impossible for the imperial court to sit idly by and let it cause trouble in the Central Plains. And the generals Wang Deyu and Yanzhou Assassin Cao Mengde will also not let go of such opportunities to weaken Yuan Shu's territory and power, and Yuan Shu will inevitably send heavy troops north to fight against the two.

According to Chen's intentions, why not take this opportunity to order the two generals Guan and Zhang to send troops to Yangzhou Huaiyuan from Xiapi Huailing. One is to take advantage of Yuan's unpreparedness to go down to several cities first, and the other is to strengthen his own power and become famous all over the world and stand out among the princes of the Central Plains? ”

This is indeed a great time for fame and fortune!

However, if it is only because he is eager to expand his power and raise troops to resist Yuan, I am afraid that this will also cause criticism from others, although Yuan Shu's reputation as a thief is now stinky, but after all, the name is not right, it is not good to say!

Liu Bei nodded, but his heart turned a hundred times, turned to Mi Zhu on the side and asked: "Yuanlong's words are comprehensive, which is very in line with the meaning of Benzhou, Zizhong, what do you think?" ”

Mi Zhu got up and bowed his head to Chen Deng, and then saluted Liu Bei and said: "My lord, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are deeply favored by the emperor, and they should serve the family and the country and be loyal to Your Majesty." Yuan Shao hijacked the king of Chenliujun in the east of Jizhou, and Yuan Shu raised an army in Shouchun to commit treason, which is really a heinous crime.

As the imperial uncle of His Majesty today, the governor of Xuzhou, I have been upholding the righteousness of the world and attacking the unrighteous and sending troops to resist Yuan, leading a brigade of elite soldiers to suppress the rebels in Shouchun, capturing Yuan Shu in the puppet monarch's capital, and also the magnificent atmosphere of my world! ”

Uphold the righteousness of the world and attack the injustice without a way, this is what I want!

Liu Bei was suddenly refreshed, his heart seemed to be as sweet as honey, he couldn't wait to hold Mi Zhu and kiss him twice, and was about to get up and divide the troops to arrange, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the Assassin Mansion, and a guard broke into the hall with a blue nose and swollen face: "Qi Yu Lord, there is a strong man outside the door with dozens of athletes asking to see the Lord, I can't stop it!" ”

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, and before the guard could get up, he had already rushed outside the mansion with a snake spear in his hand.

I saw the soldiers outside the gate of the mansion lying on the ground, among which there were several elite soldiers under Chen Zhi's command, but in front of everyone

There are dozens of strong men standing, and the person headed by him is nearly seven feet old and weak, and he is bare-handed, but he was born with an ape arm and a wolf's waist, and he is fierce.

"Bold thief, dare to come to my mansion to make trouble, you are impatient with the old birthday star hanging himself, right? Let me give you a taste of your grandfather's fist today! ”

Although Zhang Fei was reckless, he saw that the man actually knocked his brother's guards and Bai Wei soldiers to the ground with his bare hands, except for a few punches in the face and couldn't get up for the time being, there were no other external injuries on his body, how could he not know that this person was a martial arts person, and he was not an ordinary trouble-making figure?

Of course, as the saying goes, "heroes value heroes, heroes cherish heroes". However, whether this person is a hero or not has to wait for himself to verify.

It was too late, it was too fast, Zhang Fei shouted angrily, threw the snake spear in his hand to the ground, and ravaged himself to fight with the man.

But see:

The man punched with his bare hands, the size of a pair of fist bowls, and when he punched, it was like punching a tiger in Nanshan, and the tiger was full of wind; Zhang Fei is defenseless, a pair of big feet are as hard as iron, and the kicking is like kicking the North Sea Jiaolong, and he is mighty. The man punched back and forth, specializing in Zhang Fei's heart and mouth; Zhang Fei got up and down, kicking the man in front of him and in the back.

The two of them fought for only a dozen times, and suddenly heard a scream, only to see Zhang Fei's big foot hit the man's chest, and the man spurted out a mouthful of blood, flying upside down like a tired bird returning to the forest and crashing into the flagpole outside the door.

"Here comes the knife!"

The flagpole was broken head-on, the man got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shouted behind him, threw an iron chain knife in front of the man, and steadily caught the knife with one hand and dragged it to the ground: "General Jiuwen is strong in martial arts, and he is one of the best warriors in the world, Xu Sheng is not talented, and he is willing to fight with the general today!" ”

"Good man, Zhang likes it!"

Zhang Fei nodded approvingly and picked up the snake spear, and as soon as he took a pose, he heard a "stop" behind him, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu had already come to the gate.

"Third brother, don't be rude!" Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei reproachfully, hurriedly walked in front of Xu Sheng, and gently brushed the footprints on Xu Sheng's chest, "Liu's third brother is straightforward, and he doesn't care about the severity of his shots, and he is offended, please don't blame the strong man!" Can the strong man go to Liu's house to rest for a while? ”

"Third brother? Only you are the world-famous Liu Xuzhou? Seeing that the person was in his early thirties, speaking like a spring breeze, Xu Sheng's eyes were full of suspicion.

Liu Bei nodded: "Isn't it Liu Bei, who is the strong man?" What is the reason for coming to the state capital? ”

Xu Sheng slammed to the ground, and clenched his fists with both hands over the top: "My surname is Xu Mingsheng, and I am a native of Langxiju County under the rule of Fujun, and I have played a pair of fists and feet since I was a child." Xu has a cousin who is a soldier in Beijing, and yesterday Xu received a letter from his cousin informing him that Yuan Shu in Yuzhou had rebelled and that the war in the Central Plains was about to break out, and he hoped that Xu could move to Jiangdong to avoid chaos temporarily.

But Xu deeply felt the kindness of the prince of the house to my Xuzhou, so he specially led a group of brothers to come to the king. Fujun, since the Yuan thief has already raised troops, and the land of Yuzhou and Yangzhou is on the verge of Xuzhou, please also ask the Fujun to preemptively point up the military horse to fight the Yuan thief, otherwise once the Yuan thief sits big, the border of Xuzhou will never be peaceful. ”

Hearing Xu Sheng's words, his head was reasonable, and seeing that he and Zhang Fei could also fight for more than ten rounds, Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and helped Xu Sheng with both hands, and his eyes were burning: "Benzhou has just received a report from the imperial court, and decided to send troops to Huaiyuan in a few days, Wen Xiang, do you dare to be the vanguard with my third brother to crusade against Yuan thief?" ”

Xu Shenglang laughed and stood with his fists clenched: "I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to, but the lord is a little bad, and my command will go straight to Shouchun to take down the Yuan Shu dog thief!" ”

……

The three armies did not move, and Xuande went first. On June 29 of the third year of Yong'an, Liu Bei, the assassin of Xuzhou, sent Zhang Fei and Xu Sheng as the vanguard, and waved 20,000 troops to Huaiyuan.
