Liu Bei stepped forward to help Liu Pi and said: "You are too polite, I am equivalent to fighting against Cao thief, how can you and I be able to help you, and you are very happy!" ”

Everyone in the Yellow Turban stood up and thanked: "Uncle Huang is benevolent, I can't wait for it!" ”

Liu Bi bowed down again and said: "Uncle Huang is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, and he is a descendant of the Han Queen, and he is a hero in the world!" In the lower talent is shallow, and he is not able to raise Runan County, he is willing to give up the land of this county to the imperial uncle, and also ask the imperial uncle to focus on the great cause of the world, and he must not shirk his kindness! ”

The reason why Liu Bei came to Runan County was to develop this place into his own foothold, after hearing Liu Pi's words, Liu Bei was naturally very moved in his heart, but he didn't know if Liu Pi was testing himself by saying this, and he didn't dare to respond to this matter easily, so he hurriedly refused: "Although I am a Miao descendant of the Han family, but my merit is not commendable, the reason why I came to rescue Runan at the invitation of the two generals is just for righteousness, the general said this, is it not that he suspects that I have the intention of annexation?" If this is the case, Bei is willing to immediately lead the army back to the ancient city to relieve the general's doubts! ”

Liu Pi hurriedly shook his hand to show that he didn't dare, and then said: "Uncle Huang's words are wrong, the reason why we welcomed Uncle Huang into Runan County is to let Uncle Huang preside over major affairs, and I also ask Uncle Huang not to doubt our sincerity and live up to the expectations of millions of soldiers and civilians in Runan County!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his doubts were greatly reduced, and he said: "I led the army to aid Runan, it is for the sake of righteousness, if I take it for myself, wouldn't the people of the world want to say that I Liu Bei is an unrighteous person, this matter must not be!" ”

Liu Pi saw that Liu Bei did not agree, and wanted to continue to persuade, Gong Du stepped forward and said: "Big brother, since the imperial uncle has doubts, this matter will be temporarily suppressed, now that the Cao army is in the city, my Runan is in danger, and after repelling the Cao army, it is not too late to discuss this matter!" ”

Liu Bei's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and he nodded in response: "What General Gong said is very true, now that the Cao army is coming to the city, it is the right policy to repel the Cao army first, and when I led the army to Nanton, I also got a bad news on the road, and you must also prepare early!" ”

Liu Pi saw that this matter was a foregone conclusion, so he stopped mentioning the matter of conceding to Runan for the time being, and said, "Oh? I wonder what news Uncle Huang got from? ”

Liu Bei stretched out his hand and called the Yellow Turban Sentinel who came with him, and said, "Let him talk about this matter." ”

The Yellow Turban Sentinel hurriedly bowed down and said: "Qu Shuai, generals, the villain is the sentry cavalry of General Wang of Xia Cai Shou General, Li Siye, the general under Yuan Yao, led 10,000 troops along Rushui to attack Pingyu City, Xia Cai Defender is only 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, General Wang is worried that the city will be lost and does not dare to send troops to block, and now Li Siye's army has crossed Xia Cai and went straight to Pingyu City. Li Siye's army blocked the road with iron cavalry, and our army's sentry cavalry could not go to Pingyu City to communicate, General Wang specially ordered the villain to come to Nanton to inform the generals of this matter, and asked the generals to send troops to the rescue immediately! ”

"What, Yuan Yao sent troops to attack Pingyu City?"

"Yuan Yao uses soldiers like a god to know people and is good at his duties, and he is a generation of heroes! Li Siye is the first general under Yuan Yao, since he dares to lead the army to attack Pingyu City, I think there should be a strategy to break the city, I only have 3,000 defenders in Pingyu City, in the face of Li Siye's 10,000 tigers are afraid that they are not opponents, Pingyu City is afraid of danger! ”

"All the money and grain in my Runan County are hoarded in Pingyu City, if Pingyu City is lost, and these money and grain are looted and taken away by Li Siye's army, it will be a big deal!"

"Yuan Yao's thief is also a member of the Yuan clan, my Runan and Hebei Yuan Shao have formed an alliance, and he even sent troops to attack my Runan County to loot money and grain, it's really hateful!!"

……

After listening to the report of the sentry horseman, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were suddenly shocked and began to talk about it. After listening to what the scout said, Liu Bi was also in turmoil, and then listened to everyone still talking nonsense there, Liu Bi immediately became upset and shouted: "Okay, don't talk about it!! ”

Liu Bi scolded the generals, turned to look at Liu Bei, and said, "Now the situation is critical, I don't know what good plan Uncle Huang has to solve this crisis?" ”

Liu Bei has already felt the sincerity of Liu Pi and others, they are really going to dedicate the land of Runan County to themselves, Liu Bei can probably think of some of their ideas, in the name of the Yellow Turban, it has become an established fact.

After Zhang Jiao was killed in the battle and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, the Yellow Turban Army had completely declined, and now all the princes were the sworn enemies of the Yellow Turban Army, and they would not allow the Yellow Turban Army to make a comeback.

Liu Bi and others are already known to the world from the Yellow Turban, if they want to divide the place and achieve the cause of a prince, they will be jointly attacked by all the princes, plus their own ability is not enough to achieve the cause of the princes, and now there is only one choice in front of them, that is, to serve under their wings and become a general or a minister!

The Yellow Turban Army was based on plundering the Quartet, and the princes around Runan County had been enemies of them before, and Cao Cao was powerful and respected the Han court, so he would not and disdained to accept the remnants of the Yellow Turbans; Liu Biao of Jingzhou is the representative of the Jingzhou Shi clan, and the Yellow Turban Army and the Shi clan are enemies of life and death, and Liu Biao will not accept the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army either; As for Yuan Yao, Runan County is subordinate to Yanzhou, if the Runan Yellow Turban does not serve Cao Cao, it is Cao Cao's life and death enemy, Yuan Yao is Cao Cao's son-in-law in name, and the Runan Yellow Turban does not dare to go to connect with Yuan Yao.

Liu Bei's identity is the uncle of the Han Emperor, his reputation is spread all over the world, he is very benevolent and righteous, and he has the capital to achieve great things, Liu Pi and others will not lose money when they invest in Liu Bei; Compared with other princes, Liu Bei's foundation is still shallow, and there is a lack of available people around him, if Liu Pi and others serve Liu Bei, they can still be reused, and they can also rest assured.

After Liu Bei figured this out, he no longer doubted the sincerity of Liu Pi and others, and with the help of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and others, he was not afraid that he would not be able to swallow the land of Runan District and a county, and now he only waited for Cao Jun and Yuan Yao's army to be repulsed, and Liu Bei was going to take over Runan County.

Before, Runan County was still Runan County of the Yellow Turban Army, but now in Liu Bei's heart, Runan County is already his Liu Bei's Runan County, so the countless money and grain in Pingyu City are his Liu Bei's money and food, and the mountains of money, food and materials are the capital of his Liu Bei's recruitment, buying horses, and training the army!!

Now that his old book, he himself has not seen it, and he is about to be looted by others, Liu Bei immediately exploded a little nervously.

"Generals, don't worry, after getting the news, I have already sent my second brother Guan Yu and the general Zhao Yun to lead a group of elite cavalry to Pingyu City to support, if you calculate the time, by the time dawn, they should be about to arrive. Although there are not many soldiers and horses in the iron cavalry that went to support first, it should be able to delay some time for the support of our army, and it will take at least a day for Li Siye's army to carry the money and food in Pingyu City, if you send reinforcements to Pingyu City to rescue now, you should still be able to have time! ”

After listening to Liu Bei's suggestion, Liu Bi thought for a moment and said: "Li Siye's Tiger Ben Army is Yuan Yao's starting soldiers, and the elite of its army is second only to Yuan Yao's personal guards, if you want to defeat Li Siye's 10,000 Tiger Ben Army, you need to send at least 20,000 soldiers and horses to support." In the previous war, our army suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, if 20,000 soldiers and horses are transferred to rescue Pingyu City, there will only be more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Nanton City. ”

After listening to Liu Bi's words, Liu Bei was slightly stunned in his heart, this Liu Bi is really too timid, how can such a person who was afraid of wolves and tigers achieve great things?

"The two sides of this battle are evenly divided, Cao's army is also suffering heavy casualties, its army has lost its spirit, and in a short period of time, it is not to take Nanton City. Yuan Shao's army garrisoned Hebei will definitely go south again soon after, as long as our army sticks to the city, Cao's army will inevitably withdraw and return if it cannot be attacked for a long time, and the city of Nanton is strong, only 20,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in it, it is enough. Although he is not talented, he is willing to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Pingyu to repel Li Siye's troops and horses, as for Nanton City, I will bother the generals to continue to garrison, I don't know what you think? ”

According to the reason, the city of Nanton is strong, with 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in it, it will be difficult for the Cao army to break through the city in a short period of time, but after this battle, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army have been somewhat frightened by Yu Ban and Le Jin, after hearing Liu Bei's words, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army are silent.

Seeing this, Liu Bei's evaluation of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army was even lower.

Liu Bei beckoned Zhang Fei to step forward, and then said: "My third brother Zhang Yide's martial arts are not under Yun Chang, and he also has the courage of ten thousand people, Yu Ban and Le Jin are definitely the opponents of my third brother, I will let my third brother stay in the city to help the monarchs defend the city, supplemented by 20,000 soldiers and horses, this Nantun City must be as solid as Mount Tai, I don't know what the monarchs think?" ”

Guan Yu has been famous all over the world since he beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and his reputation has been widely spread all over the world, Liu Bi and others heard that Zhang Fei's martial arts were not under Guan Yu, and they were immediately overjoyed, Liu Bei was willing to leave Zhang Fei to help garrison Nanton City, and they were relieved, "If this can be the case, it would be great, I will thank the imperial uncle for his great kindness!" ”。

Liu Bei replied with a smile: "In this case, please also ask you to allocate 10,000 soldiers and horses to me, the military situation is urgent, I will immediately lead the army to Pingyu City, Li Siye's army has 3,000 iron cavalry, Nanton only needs to stick to the city, and there is no need for cavalry to contribute, and please ask you to allocate the iron cavalry in the general to me, only in this way, we can repel Li Siye's army!" ”

Liu Pi and others also knew the importance of money and food in Pingyu City, and hurriedly nodded their heads to deal with the matter, but after several defeats, there were only more than 1,000 light cavalry left in the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army transferred a foot armor to Liu Bei to gather 10,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei ordered the generals to take over the army and then led the army out of the city and went straight to the direction of Pingyu City.
