Xu You stood at the head of the city and watched the two armies slowly disappear into his field of vision, his face full of struggle and hope.

In the end, Xu You still agreed to Liu Bei's strategy, and used the Guangshu banner to divide the troops into two ways, so that Zhang Niujiao had to let Yu Poison lead the army back to help, and then take the Yu Poison Department in one fell swoop, and then besiege the big city of Xindu and nail this horn to Xindu.

But Xu You was afraid, judging from Liu Bei's dedication, Liu Bei's mind and ability were on par with his lord, to be honest, he really didn't want Liu Bei not to be by his side.

If it weren't for Liu Bei's plan, which could really minimize the damage in Jizhou, Xu You would not have sent Liu Bei out of anything.

Now he can only believe that his soldiers are loyal to himself and loyal to Yuan Shao, otherwise, although there is one less horn in Jizhou, there will be one more Uncle Liu Huang!

Soon the two armies also came to the fork in the road, Yan Liang glanced at Xu Chu and Liu Bei, who were going the opposite way to him, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to have a premonition that he and they would be enemies.

Liu Bei rode on the horse with a slight sideways face, but soon turned back again, and only after Yan Liang walked away did he whisper, "Zhongkang! Who won and who lost the last time you competed with General Yan? ”

After the soldiers who followed Liu Bei and Xu Chu heard Liu Bei's words, although they didn't say anything, they still buried their heads in the road, but their ears had quietly risen.

The last battle was between Xu Chu and Yan Liang in private, so everyone didn't know the result, they only knew that the two of them came back in disgrace, and Yan Liang and Xu Chu didn't say anything, which also made the soldiers in Jizhou more and more curious.

"Big brother! That Yan Liangnai is a good general, especially the kung fu is even more first-class, I can't get half a point from fighting him! Xu Chu is also a meticulous person, and he didn't say anything arrogant and arrogant, but both recognized Yan Liang's bravery and did not put himself very low.

"So you're a draw?" Liu Bei asked with some curiosity, and when he looked up into the distance, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.

"Yes! We ended up drawing but I'm looking forward to playing him again in the future! Xu Chu said, and the momentum of his body rolled even more.

Suddenly, the surrounding soldiers felt like they were pressing a boulder, and their breathing became a little difficult, this is not Xu Chu against them, otherwise, I am afraid that no one around will be able to stand on the ground.

When this aura disappeared, although the surrounding soldiers did not say anything, their dodging eyes were full of awe and worship for Xu Chu, and it was obvious that Fang Cai's words had left a deep imprint on these soldiers.

Liu Bei looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, he knew that his plan had already begun, as long as he gave himself a period of time, these would not be the Jizhou army but the Liu family's army......

With the passage of time, the occupation area of the Jizhou army was based on Anping, and began to quickly plunder towards Xindu in a fan shape, like a swarm of huge and unstoppable locusts, which encroached on and covered most of Xindu County.

And Guo Tu also recruited troops in Zhongshan County, squeezing the poor soldiers in his hands little by little and transporting them towards Xindu County, as long as Xu Yu successfully occupied Xindu and killed Zhang Niujiao, then the danger of Jizhou this time could be dismantled.

If Xu You can't get the letter for a long time, don't say that Yuan Shao's reputation will plummet, and Yuan Shao can't afford to destroy it again and again.

After Zhang Niujiao got the news, he quickly gathered all the soldiers arranged around Xindu to Xindu, and even transported the grain and grass from the surrounding counties to Xindu.

And in order to save his life, Zhang Niujiao even issued an order, if he was not defeated, he could evacuate to Xindu as soon as possible to preserve his strength.

Such an order made those Montenegrin soldiers lose their fighting spirit, there was no grain and grass in the county, and almost all the young and strong were transferred to Xindu.

To put it mildly, the remaining Montenegrin army is not to say that it is defending the city, even the people in the city are a little powerless, so whenever Yan Liang and Liu Bei lead the army before they reach the city, those Montenegrin troops have already heard the wind and fled.

And Zhang Niujiao didn't know that his subordinates really didn't even dare to fight, and the enemy fled before they arrived, and thought that Yuan Shao had really sent a lot of troops, and he was even more nervous in his heart, and even followed by all the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Only the people in it were left, which was also an important factor in the Jizhou army's recovery of the lost territory so quickly, it can be said that this is already a negative reincarnation, even if it is given to Zhang Niujiao, the land of a state is not enough for him to lose.

When Liu Bei successfully 'recovered' Wuqiang County in the northeast of Xindu County, he saw a ragged man.....

"General! We found a man in the prison! I shouldn't have been taken away by the Montenegrin army, and I've been clamoring to see you! Just as Liu Bei was sitting in the lobby and pretending to sleep, a soldier suddenly ran in and said.

"Huh? Want to see me? Bring it on! Liu Bei opened his eyes and thought for a while, then waved his hand and said.

"No!" The soldier replied without hesitation, and then ran out of the house, and in a moment a thin man entered, trembling slightly in his thin clothes.

Liu Bei frowned, and saw that although the man in front of him was shivering because of the cold, he still didn't say a word, so he walked forward quickly and put the cloak on his body over the man's body.

"Sir, don't say too much first, since Mr. has come to see me, he must have something to teach me, but Mr. is now hungry and cold, please ask Mr. to eat first!" After Liu Bei approved the man's cloak, he shouted loudly outside the house.

"Someone! Go get some warm clothes and get some food! As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, the soldiers outside the house immediately took action.

But Liu Bei didn't talk to the man too much, and after giving all this instructions, he sat back on the main hall again, dealing with some government affairs that were squeezed during this period of time.

The man didn't say much after seeing Liu Bei's style, but nodded slightly, his eyes were full of appreciation.

After a while, under the arrangement of the Jizhou soldiers, the man finally had enough to eat and drink, and even went to the backyard to take a bath before appearing in front of Liu Bei again.

Liu Bei looked at the man in front of him and wandered, his face was even more tenacious and resolute, it can be said that he was handsome, and his temperament was also very elegant and calm, like a child of a family.

"Mr. has such a high temperament, it can be seen that he must be a big man! But why did you fall into the hands of the Montenegrin army? Liu Bei nodded appreciatively and said, but there was still some curiosity in his eyes.

"The general laughed, the villain is just a white coat, but a little dull, unexpectedly but he was worried about the Montenegrin army, and wanted me to be their marching military division! If I refused, they put me in jail for a few days! The man said modestly, but the qi on his body was full of confidence.

"I can't imagine that the Montenegrin Army is so hateful! Be ready to seize the opportunity and be sure to kill him! Liu Bei hurriedly said after hearing the middle-aged man's words, and a strong killing intent erupted in his eyes.

"The general doesn't have to be like this, since I think it's okay to pass like this! This Montenegrin Army is the cornerstone of your rise! The man shook his head and said slowly, his eyes were full of gratitude, although the reason in his heart was to tell himself that Liu Bei was lying to himself.

But all the grievances he had received in these days broke out at this moment, which made the man's heart full of gratitude to Liu Bei.

"What does sir, have to teach me?" Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and instantly seemed to understand something, and asked a little earnestly.

"Yes! Dare to ask the general how is the current big man? The man nodded slightly, and a gleam suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was even more sure that he had met a great talent, and he also began to become serious, and said firmly to the man in front of him, "Now that the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, there is Dong Zhuo's hegemony above the court. ”

"That's exactly what the general said! Now the Han Dynasty is not famous, and the mainland of the Central Plains is even more warring among the princes! It's hard to help the Han family! The man shook his head and said.

"Isn't there a good way for you, sir?" Liu Bei said with some worry after hearing this, his heart was also full of loss, he originally thought that the man in front of him could illuminate his future path, but now it seems that he has not ......

"The method is naturally there, as long as the general establishes himself as a prince, controls the military power in the hands of one party, and recruits the heroes of the world to come to take refuge, then this Kuangfu Han family will naturally be insignificant, but this road is very difficult to walk!" The man looked at Liu Bei's expression and said seriously.

"Sir! Don't be afraid of hardship! Bei Ben was born in the people, and he is willing to endure all the hardships of the world for this great Han country! Liu Bei knelt down in front of the man and said in a deep voice, "Please also teach me!" ”

"Why should the general be like this! The general's ambition is so magnificent, and he can help the general in the next way, and he thinks that he will do his best to die! After the man saw Liu Bei's appearance, he quickly helped him up and said seriously.

"Wei Jun has seen the lord in the south!" Man... No, it should be that after the trial helped Liu Bei up, he saluted Liu Bei and said respectfully.

"Hahahaha! I, Liu Bei, don't have an inch of land and horses, but I am so fortunate to have the help of the south! Liu Bei saw that he wanted to recognize himself as the master and said with the surname Gao, and suddenly the entire county government was filled with Liu Bei's cheerful laughter......
