"Liu Yuanjun, why are you doing this? If you don't join forces with my lord to fight against Cao, you won't be able to keep Xuzhou sooner or later. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Testing"

Several soldiers armed with weapons came up to push Yan Xiang, and Yan Xiang struggled and tried to persuade him endlessly.

It's just that he is a literati, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, so he was naturally quickly pushed outside the door of the Assassin's Mansion by the soldiers.

After the soldiers left, Yan Xiang sorted out his clothes, shook his sleeves, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and led his horse from the tethered horse stake, and walked away.

Yan Xiang and other smart people could naturally see that judging from Yuan Shu's various actions, the destruction was probably imminent.

The reason why he proposed to unite with Liu Bei and send Xuzhou so happily was his plan to get out......

……

At this time, Xuzhou Thorn Mansion, there were only four people left in the public house: Liu Bei, Mi Zhu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

"Lord, what Yan Xiang said also makes sense," Mi Zhu stepped forward and closed the door, turned back to Liu Bei and said, "Cao's extermination of Yuan is inevitable."

Even if these 3,000 military horses can't break Yuan, they will inevitably send more soldiers over, and with Yuan Shu's current strength, sooner or later they will be wiped out by the Cao clan.

If Yuan Shu perishes, my Xuzhou will fall into the encirclement of Cao's forces, and the city will be in danger.

At this time, only Lian Yuan to resist Cao is the most beneficial to our side. ”

"What Mi Zizhong said is extremely true," Zhang Fei also echoed beside him: "It's about whether I can keep Xuzhou or not, and it's about my life and death, so don't care what he Yuan Shu has done." ”

"Shut up!" Liu Bei reprimanded sharply: "I am the head of the imperial family, and since the incident, I have always taken it as my responsibility to support the Han family and save the people of Li from hanging upside down.

That Yuan Shu is rebellious and claims to be the emperor in vain, if we unite with him, how should the people of the world think of me Liu Bei? ”

Regardless of whether Liu Bei's identity after King Jing of Zhongshan is true or false, he has gained a lot of benefits from this identity after all.

Whether it was when he was fighting Dong Zhuo or when he was defeated and surrendered to Yuan Shao, all the princes respected him, precisely because he had the title of the emperor on his head.

The reason why Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to him at the beginning, Mi Zhu, Chen Qi and others took the initiative to welcome him, also stemmed from this identity.

If he chooses to unite with Yuan Shu, it is equivalent to admitting Yuan Shu's pseudo-imperial court, which will also shake the foundation of his world.

"Yuan Shu was rebellious before, I never sent troops to conscript, and I have been criticized by the world, how can I be in cahoots with him?

Now I want to raise up an uprising, fight for rebellion, and serve the court," Liu Bei stared ahead, saying with righteousness and awe.

As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhu and the other three were stunned, and they stood there dumbfounded.

They never imagined that Liu Bei would not unite with Yuan Shu, and would send troops to recruit Yuan Shu.

In this way, Yuan Shu will definitely die, but what benefits can they get, is it just for the sake of righteousness?

But even if they get the reputation of loyal ministers of the Han family, it will be their turn to die next.

"It's a big matter to send troops to Shouchun, whether the lord will think about it again," Mi Zhu said confusedly: "Or, convene all the civil and military forces in Xuzhou to discuss together." ”

In Mi Zhu's view, Liu Bei's move is no different from giving Xuzhou to Cao Cao, although Liu Bei is a assassin, but the gentry in Xuzhou are not completely speechless, if they take it out for discussion, they will inevitably oppose it collectively.

"Who said that if you conquer Yuan Shu, you must send troops to Shouchun?" Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu with doubts on his face.

"No, if you don't send troops to Shouchun, where will you fight?" Mi Zhu was completely confused, and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

After all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei slept with Liu Bei every day, and at this time they understood Liu Bei's intentions a little.

The two glanced at each other, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.

"Go and exterminate Lei Bo Chen Lan," Liu Bei said solemnly: "Although these two thieves have fled, after all, they followed Yuan Shu to rebel, and their crimes should be punished. ”

"The lord is wise!" Mi Zhu was stunned, and then couldn't help but let out a sigh, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Liu Bei's thoughts.

The place where Lei Bo Chen Lan and the two thieves fell into the grass was in the Songshan area, and at this time, Cao Jun had already left Runan and marched towards Shouchun.

If they attacked Lei Bo Chen Lan, although it was called to exterminate the remnants, but in fact they just cut off the back road of the Cao army, how could the Cao army not retreat?

In this way, they not only gained the reputation of serving the imperial court, but in fact, they helped Yuan Shu, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Mi Zhu couldn't help but stroke his beard and glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, with a smile on his face.

"We are waiting to exterminate the remnants of Yuan Shu, all to serve the imperial court, what's ridiculous?" Liu Bei said with a calm face.

"Yes, yes, yes, all of them are to serve the court, to serve the court, the lord is taught," Mi Zhu hurriedly restrained his smile and bowed down to admit his mistake.

Obviously, it is not enough to deceive the world, but also to make yourself believe, which is indeed difficult to do.

……

Liu Ping, Cao Ang and others led the army to attack for a long time, and soon arrived at a place fifty miles away from Shouchun and set up camp.

They were all cavalry, and they could reach this fifty miles in an hour.

At this time, the imperial court had already passed the edict of appointing Cao Ang as the general of the expedition to the south, and Cao Ang felt even more high-spirited.

However, after all, Shouchun is the base camp of Yuan Shu, the soldiers are full of food, and there are a lot of cavalry, whether these 3,000 military horses can be conquered, he has no bottom in his heart.

It's just that Liu Ping told him that he would definitely be able to capture it, so he had no doubt and immediately ordered all his troops and horses to kill him.

"Gather the army and horses tomorrow, and call the battle under the city," in the big tent, Cao Angchang stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the direction of Shouchun, and said angrily: "Brother Xian continues to sit in the Chinese army for me, and I will lead the army to charge." ”

When they are killed under Shouchun City, Yuan Shu will definitely not be a turtle with a shrunken head like Lei Bo, and it will be a bitter battle at that time.

"Ang'er, you still sit in the Chinese army with Ping'er, it's enough for me to lead the army to battle."

Xiahou Yuan remembered the crisis that Cao Ang encountered in the battle under Runan City, and hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"What Miaocai said is," Cao Chun also said: "Ang'er, you are the boss, how can there be a reason for the boss to take the lead in fighting every battle, you should still sit in the Chinese army with Ping'er."

Even if Yuan Shu comes out of the nest tomorrow, with so many generals waiting for me in the array, and all the elite cavalry they are bringing, they will definitely be able to crush the Yuan army, and there is no need for Ang'er to come out and take risks with your identity. ”

At this time, a herald suddenly came to report: "The eldest prince, it's not good, Liu Bei of Xuzhou took advantage of the order of Lei Bo to lead an army of 30,000 and cut off the rear road of our army." ”

"What?" When Cao Ang heard this, his lungs were about to explode, and he said angrily: "Liu Bei, that hypocritical person, actually came up with such a trick?

Let's go back with me, and fight off the hypocrite first. ”

When the back road is cut off, their army will be alone, and they will not be able to deliver food and grass, and if the front is not smooth, they will have no way to retreat, and it will be very dangerous.

At this time, the best way is to return to the army, and first open up the retreat.

"Doesn't the eldest brother want the big work at his fingertips?" Liu Ping stood up and asked.
