In the second year of Xingping, September 16.

Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 to conquer Xuzhou.

At the same time, Liu Xie led Zhu Jun, Xu Huang, and Chang Yuchun, led 30,000 Baibo troops, and 8,000 Guanning iron cavalry, and cooperated with Cao Cao to fight.

For a time, hundreds of officials saw off at the gate of Xudu.

"Lingjun, the rear of Yanzhou will be handed over to you to take care of, and I don't have to worry about it."

Cao Cao smiled and went to greet Xun Yu.

In this expedition to Xuzhou, Xun Yu was still sitting in the rear as usual.

"The prime minister is polite, it is the duty of a courtier to guard the territory for the Son of Heaven."

Xun Yu replied lukewarmly.

"For the Son of Heaven?"

Cao Cao was not happy in his heart, and when he saw that Xun Yu no longer took care of himself, but walked towards the Son of Heaven, he was even more jealous in his heart.

"My lord, I'm afraid that Ling Jun has fallen to the side of the Son of Heaven."

Cao Ren said.

"Xun Yu, after all, it's Hanchen."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "However, the person who can 'revive the Han family' is me Cao Cao, not that fifteen-year-old baby." ”

"This battle of Xuzhou, we have to fight it no matter what, and let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military see that their so-called Son of Heaven is actually vulnerable."

"Yes!"

Cao Ren hurriedly arched his hand and said: "We will never live up to the trust of the lord, and we will serve the death force!" ”

In this battle, Cao Cao actually has no choice, if he loses, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and even Liu Xie will definitely fight back.

If he wins, he will also pay a huge price if he defeats Lu Bu.

But winning, there may be a glimmer of opportunity to achieve hegemony.

After bidding farewell to their ministers, Liu Xie and Cao Cao marched towards Xuzhou with their troops.

Cao Cao took Cheng Yu as his military advisor, and Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan as the vanguard.

On Liu Xie's side, he handed over the command to Zhu Jun, and he took Jia Xu, Fei Lian, and Evil to Xiaopei lightly.

"Is Your Majesty going to Xiaopei to persuade Liu Bei?"

On the way, Jia Xu asked.

"Wen He thinks, can I succeed?"

Liu Xie asked with a smile.

"It will definitely succeed, but Liu Bei has great ambitions, and he is not a person who is subordinate to others."

Jia Xu thought about it and asked again, "How is Your Majesty going to persuade him?" ”

"What Liu Bei wants is not Xuzhou, but the ambition to live in the court."

"However, I will not be led by the nose by him."

"If you want to be in power, then you have to pay some price."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie laughed, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei said a very famous sentence in order to win people's hearts, "Brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes." ”

Therefore, the price Liu Bei paid must be a woman!

In the evening, in the middle of the city.

"Little sister, I don't know what the eldest brother thinks, you are a yellow flower girl, and Liu Bei is in her forties, the eldest brother actually asked you to marry him, and you are still small!"

In a carriage, Mi Fang complained to the young woman next to her.

"Second brother, I know that you are for my good, but Liu Yuanjun is a hero in the world, and it is my blessing to be able to marry her."

The woman's name is Mi Xiang, and she is the young lady of the Mi family in Xuzhou.

Since the death of Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou, the Mi family supported Liu Bei, and Mi Zhu not only supported him with all his family property, but also asked Mi Fang to marry Liu Bei as the second wife.

"Little sister, you have been brainwashed by your eldest brother!"

Mi Fang was so angry that her chest tightened, it was actually normal for the little sister to think like this, after all, she had always been a big brother.

But the eldest brother Mi Zhu, it is estimated that his brain was kicked by a donkey, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, he didn't support these heroes, he went to support Liu Bei, who was a lot old and had achieved nothing!

To put it mildly, this Xuzhou, Liu Bei was lucky to pick it up.

"Okay, second brother, I'm about to get married, you accompany me to the cloth shop to see if there are any good fabrics, which are easy to wear when you get married."

Mi Xiang comforted.

Mi Fang sighed, he was not the head of the family, and his arm couldn't touch the eldest brother's thigh, so he could only give up.

At that moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?"

Mi Fang got out of the car to check and found that two strong men stopped in front, and immediately became angry and shouted: "Do you know who I am, dare to stop our vehicle!" ”

"It doesn't matter who you are, my master has an order to take away Miss Mi inside!"

It was Fei Lian and Evil Lai who stood in the way, and they were ordered by Liu Xie to take Mi Xiang away.

"Presumptuous, I won't give you a look at the color today, you don't know how powerful my Mi Fang is!"

Mi Fang was furious, drew his sword, and was about to make a move.

But where is he the opponent of these two peerless fierce generals, Fei Lian just pushed lightly, and Mi Fang fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Y-What are you going to do......?"

Mi Xiang was on the carriage, frightened and discolored.

"Miss Mi has been virtuous and virtuous for a long time, my master wants to canonize Miss as a concubine, and please go to see my master."

Fei Lian said.

"Your master?"

Mi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and Mi Fang on the ground also hurriedly asked, "Who is your master?" ”

"Holy today!"

After leaving this sentence, Fei Lian no longer took care of Mi Fang, and drove a carriage with the two of them to see Liu Xie.

Mi Fang was lying on the ground, stunned for a long time and didn't react.

Inside Liu Bei's mansion.

At this time, Liu Bei was in the room talking to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Mi Zhu about retiring Cao.

Suddenly, one of his guards handed him a letter.

After reading it, Liu Bei was shocked.

"Big brother, what's going on?"

Guan Yu, who had a heavy face and a beautiful beard, asked curiously.

You must know that Liu Bei has always been moody and angry, and rarely shows such a surprised expression.

"It is a letter from the Son of Heaven."

"Two virtuous brothers, Zizhong (Mi Zhu's character), please see."

Liu Bei handed the letter to the three of them to read.

"Ah, this!"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Mi Zhu were also shocked at the same time, and in the letter, Liu Xie called Liu Bei "Uncle Huang", telling that he was under Cao Cao and had a very miserable life.

I hope that Liu Bei can help him for the sake of being a member of the Han clan.

"Big brother, is this letter true?"

Guan Yu was very suspicious that Liu Bei was a matter after the Han Dynasty, and he did not make a big deal about it, mainly because there were too many people after the Han Dynasty, and it didn't have any effect.

But how did His Majesty know and be so sure?

"Let's not mention whether it's true or not, Your Majesty must have a very difficult time in the hands of Cao Thief."

Liu Bei sighed and said firmly: "Since Your Majesty calls me the emperor's uncle, then I will go to the soup for this big man." ”

"Big brother is benevolent!"

"Big brother is benevolent!"

"Make the king benevolent and righteous!"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Mi Zhu admired it very much.

But at this time, Liu Bei was thinking in his heart that if he could make friends with the Son of Heaven, then he would be able to become a new star above the court.

With his own ability, coupled with the courage of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, coupled with Mi Zhu's financial resources, why can't he make a difference?

At that time, even if he is on an equal footing with Cao Cao, it will not be difficult.

"Your Majesty said in the letter that tomorrow at noon, you want us to meet on the outskirts of the city."

"Let's go see the authenticity when the time comes."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he said to Mi Zhu again: "I can't go to see Xiang'er tomorrow, Zizhong will help me tell me." ”

"Small things, the big husband should focus on big things, how can he be in love with children all day long."

Mi Zhu responded.

"Squeak!"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and it was Mi Fang who stumbled in.

Seeing that his younger brother was so reckless, Mi Zhu was about to reprimand, but heard Mi Fang shouting: "Big brother, envoy, it's not good, my little sister was snatched away!" ”
