Liu Bei naturally saw Tai Shici's doubts, but he felt that he didn't need to explain more. And when that day comes, Tai Shici will understand. So do you still have to say it yourself, some things can be clicked.

And Tai Shi Ci of course didn't understand it at this time, which is why Liu Bei is the lord, but Tai Shi Ci can only be a general.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, in the summer of 199 AD, Yuan Shu fled to Xuzhou with the remnants of the army, and was chased by Liu Bei with his troops.

After Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu also died, and at this time there were fewer and fewer famous princes in the world, Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu who was dominant in the four states, Cao Mengde who occupied the three states, and Ma Chao Ma Mengqi, who also owned the three states, the three of them were the three most powerful princes in the world. And Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu of Jiangdong, Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou, and the scholars of Jiaozhou, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were divided into their respective spheres of power by these people-

In the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu's territory was also carved up after the most reluctance, Jiujiang County was occupied by Cao Cao, and Lujiang was naturally occupied by Sun Ce. So far, the entire six counties of Yangzhou, except for Jiujiang, the other five counties, Lujiang, Danyang, Wu, Huiji and Yuzhang have all fallen into the hands of Sun Ce.

It can be said that he has indeed surpassed his father Sun Jian, after all, Sun Jian is a person, not to mention that he is like Sun Ce's age, even before he died, he did not have such a great ability and occupied such a large territory. But what he didn't do, his son did.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat Cao Cao, Sun Ce would definitely have to take Jiujiang back. But now I haven't been in Jiangdong for a few years, so it's not so stable, and it's really not enough to deal with Cao Cao. A small fight may not be a big deal, but if you want to recapture Jiujiang, it's difficult, it's too difficult. And Cao Cao naturally knew the importance of Jiujiang to his side, so he had a heavy army stationed in Jiujiang, and Sun Ce really had no way to start. After all, Cao Cao is not Yuan Shu, or ten Yuan Shu bundled together. That's not as good as Cao Cao-

Liu Bei, who was still in Xuzhou, knew that it was not good for him to return to Xudu. After all, it doesn't taste good to send people under the fence, he Cao Cao Cao Mengde just wants to use himself, but how can he easily let him get his wish? Before, it was nothing more than paralyzing him. As a result, Cao Cao was really careless, or he couldn't let himself lead troops to intercept Yuan Shu now. So their own ideas are successful. It's just a pity that Cao Cao didn't give himself many people. There are less than 10,000 people, but with these people, they can still recapture Xuzhou.

It's just that Liu Bei is actually too simple to think about, first of all, Cao Cao's subordinate Lu Zhao is needless to say, he doesn't have much ability. But will Cao Cao's Yanzhou army really stay in Xuzhou with Liu Bei, at least Liu Bei will not allow the capital. But it is impossible for the soldiers to follow him, just in Xuzhou. After all, the Yanzhou army is Cao Cao's descendant, and he Liu Bei is a green onion-

On the evening of this day, Liu Bei discussed with Tai Shici, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others in the big tent, "Ziyi. Xianhe, Gongyou, we can't go back to Xu Capital now! ”

When a few people heard this, their eyes lit up, after all, no one wants to live this kind of life under the fence. And Cao Cao is "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", they really can't stand it, but there is nothing they can do.

Jian Yong, who has been Liu Bei's friend since childhood, asked, "I wonder if the lord has other plans?" ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly when he heard this, "Now that I am leading the troops, you are all around me, and now Cao Mengde is only a newcomer to Xuzhou, so for us, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" ”

At this time, Sun Qian asked, "I don't know what the lord means?" ”

"Let's go back to Xudu via Xiapi, and now Xuzhou herdsman, he must go out of the city to meet, then, Ziyi's surprise, attack its unpreparedness', the gun picks it under the horse, and the Pi can be obtained! As for the other counties, I think they will slowly fall into my hands! After all, he Cao Mengde is not popular in Xuzhou, but I have some prestige in Xuzhou, which is my advantage over Cao Mengde! ”

When the three of them heard it, their eyes were bright, isn't that what happened? His lord doesn't want to be under Cao Mengde's Xu Du anymore, but how can he be willing to do this? And such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't take advantage of it, it's really a waste.

At this time, I heard Tai Shici say: "Lord, it is not difficult to kill the car, but that Lu Zhao ......"

Liu Bei smiled, "Lu Zhao, mediocre people, just let him go!" When the time comes, let him give the jade seal to Cao Mengde and bring it back to Xudu, and we will also give Cao Mengde an explanation, as for what the result will be in the end, it is not up to us to control! ”

As soon as they heard what their lord said, several people looked at each other and smiled, isn't that what happened? Cao Mengde asked his lord to come to Xuzhou to intercept Yuan Shu, and now that Yuan Shu is dead and the jade seal is in hand, this is already a successful completion of Cao Mengde's entrustment. Then let the jade seal send him back, and see what kind of anger he can become, and whether he will be angry again.

So several people agreed to do so, and then Liu Bei led his troops straight to Xiapi. As for that Lu Zhao, he didn't notice anything. is what Liu Bei said, Lu Zhao is a mediocre person, he has no great ability, and he doesn't know why Cao Cao sent him to follow Liu Bei to Xuzhou.

But I have to say, don't look at this kid's ability, but his heart is not small. He didn't care how Liu Bei ran to Lu Xiapi, anyway, what he knew was that this was also a way back to Xudu, and the rest, what he thought about the most was to return to Xudu, how his lord rewarded him. Now that Yuan Shu is dead, the jade seal has also been obtained by his own side, although it is mainly Liu Xuande's efforts, but when he is rewarded at the end, he will definitely not lose his own benefits.

If you want to say that Lu Zhao thinks the same as Liu Bei, they think. How can such a person be rewarded now that he still thinks about it, and what else can you expect him to do?

Everyone rushed to Xiapi, but when Xiapi's chariot learned that Liu Bei and they were going to pass by Xiapi to return to Xudu, he did make a decision to go out of the city to meet them in person, even if Liu Bei didn't enter Xiapi, he had to send him off.

If you want to say that Che Xuan is definitely not giving Liu Bei any face, but the face of his own lord. In any case, Liu Bei was sent by his lord to intercept Yuan's highway, and he is now passing through Xiapi to return to Xudu. If you don't express yourself, you may leave a bad impression on your father-in-law.

For Che Zhou, he knows better than anyone else that he can have today's status and become a pastor in Xuzhou. Thanks to the trust of his lord. It can be said that if you don't have your own lord, then you are nothing. may still be a general in the army. Therefore, I can't repay the kindness of my lord.

And now he ordered Liu Xuande and them to lead troops to intercept Yuan Highway, and now Yuan Highway is dead, and Liu Xuande wants to return to Xudu through Xiapi, if he can't see it, then his lord's face is not easy to explain. Although he doesn't look down on that imperial uncle Liu Xuande. But he can't help but give face to his lord, after all, he is sent by his lord, so Che Zhou has already made up his mind, how can he have to go to the city to welcome him Liu Xuande.

Che Xuan thought about it very well. But he didn't know that he was sent directly to the ghost gate like this-

On this day, Liu Bei finally led his troops to Xiapi City. Looking at Xiapi who had been lost for a long time, Liu Bei couldn't tell what it was like. Xiapi is the seat of Xuzhou, which was relocated here by itself, but unfortunately it was occupied by Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, and now Lu Bu is dead in Jiangdong, which is occupied by Cao Mengde. But it won't be too long, Xiapi will return to his own hands, Xiapi City, Xuzhou, it's been a long time!

Seeing that Che Zhou was leading some people to wait for him under the city, Liu Bei and the others laughed secretly in their hearts. I'm not afraid that you will go out of the city, but I am afraid that you will not go out of the city. In fact, in Liu Bei's thoughts, even if Che Zhou does not go out of the city, in fact, Xia Pi City will be won very smoothly. After all, they all worked under Cao Mengde, so Xiapi had no defense against himself at all. Therefore, if he is "taken by surprise and unprepared" and leads his troops to kill Xiapi and kill Che Guan, then Xiapi will naturally fall into his own hands.

After all, Xiapi knew that he was coming, so it was impossible for the city gate to be closed, so he would naturally be able to drive straight in with his own troops.

Liu Bei took Tai Shici and others to Che Zhou, after all, Che Zhou is also Xuzhou Mu, so Liu Bei can be regarded as giving him face, and he stepped forward directly, in fact, it was just to kill him better.

And Che Xuan looked at Liu Bei to save face, he smiled slightly, "Xuande Gong, don't come to harm!" ”

Liu Beixin said, you just laugh, you will laugh in this life, and then this life will be over.

Liu Bei also said with a smile: "Everything is fine, everything is fine!" ”

Suddenly, Liu Bei hurriedly pointed to the back of the car and said, "Zhou Mu, what is that?" ”

Che Zhou was like a fool, he didn't have any defense against Liu Bei at all, he didn't have any defense against people, he just looked back, and it wasn't just him, the people brought by Che Zhou basically turned over.

As a result, Tai Shi Ci had already stabbed out of the car with one shot, and when Che Zhou saw that there was no abnormality behind him, he knew that he had already been tricked. But at this time, it was too late, he was shot by Tai Shici, and he was picked off the horse, and he didn't even make a sound when he died.

Don't look at Che Xuan is also a second-rate inferior martial art, but to be honest, Liu Bei is taking great pains to be foolproof, and he also deceived Che Xuan to be distracted, so it would be strange if he didn't die.

In addition to Jian Yong and Sun Qian beside Liu Bei, the others, whether it was Lu Zhao, the soldiers on Liu Bei's side, or the people brought by Che Xuan, were all surprised. Why did the state pastor die like this and was killed by Liu Xuande's subordinates?

Before everyone understood what was going on, Liu Bei shouted: "Xuzhou Muchexuan is dead, those who are willing to follow me Liu Xuande, I welcome them, those who are unwilling, Ziyi, don't worry about killing!" ”

Liu Bei is definitely a ruthless person, he will never show any mercy to the real enemy, or can he share the world with Cao Cao and Sun Quan. As for letting go of Yuan Shu's dozens of soldiers before, it was because in Liu Bei's view, not only was it not a threat, but it could also be a help. The so-called "no profit can't afford to be early", Liu Bei naturally let them go generously.

But not at this time, and many people here are not soldiers, but officials in Xuzhou. It's fine if they really take refuge in themselves, but if they don't have that mind, or even play tricks with themselves, then they can't help it.

Sure enough, there are still idiots, and right next to the car, one person reacted, "Liu Xuande, you dare to do this, I ......"

As a result, before he finished speaking, he went directly to see Lord Yama, just like the car. Tai Shi Ci was not used to his problem, so he heard him shout at everyone, "If there are those who do not obey, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

Seeing Tai Shi Ci like this, everyone really didn't move for the time being at this time, after all, if they can live, who still wants to die. is mainly from Xuzhou, and not all of them are Cao Cao's henchmen. Yes, yes, but one chariot died before, and then another one died, and there are others, but they are already hidden, for fear of being discovered by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also understands this, but he also knows that this is not the time to think about this. Now at this time, it is right to stabilize himself and then slowly occupy the entire Xuzhou, as for Cao Mengde's henchmen, he can only deal with it slowly, but he can't be in a hurry. Some things are by no means overnight, and Liu Bei naturally understands them. (To be continued......)
