Chapter 76: Hebei strikes

"General, may I ask what to do with this city?" At this time, a pair of officials from Shan Jing asked Liu Bei tremblingly.

Liu Bei stared at the Yu County in front of him, pondered for a long time, and said, "Withdraw the army and return to Pingyuan County." ”

"This ...... This is General Shan..... This is what we have worked so hard to do, and we are leaving? At this time, the adjutant was disgruntled, he originally fought with Shan Jing, how chic it was, after breaking the city, everyone could grab money, rob women, and enter Yu County as a winner, with wine, meat and women, happy like a fairy. But now, as soon as Liu Bei came, he inexplicably killed General Shan Jing, and also took away General Lijing's army, which was not enough, and he was not allowed to go into the city to rob money and play with women, the gap between the front and the back is so big.

"Yes, with our current strength to occupy this city, we can't resist Yuan Shao's army, it's better to withdraw, anyway, we have already hit the people." Liu Bei turned his head to look at the adjutant.

"But Yuan Shao is now fighting General Gongsun in the north, what strength does he have to send troops over?" The adjutant continued to be stubborn, and he was trying to see if he could subdue Liu Bei.

At this time, Liu Bei knew that this adjutant was unhappy with him, and now no matter what he did, it would be useless, so he simply didn't do anything, and reprimanded sternly: "This is an order, where are there so many questions!" ”

After being taught a lesson by Liu Bei, the adjutant blushed and reluctantly arched his hand: "Yes, my subordinates are guilty...... General, why don't I go to the city to appease the people, I'll be fine if I stay here anyway! ”

Seeing him like this, Liu Bei also allowed it, and said, "Well, then you can go!" ”

The adjutant got Liu Bei's approval, and ran to the city with several generals.

At this time, seeing that the adjutant had gone away, Jian Yong approached Liu Bei and said: "General, I think this adjutant seems to be quite reasonable, Yuan Shao's main forces are gathered in the north, and now Yuan Shu has connected with the Montenegrin army, at this time Yuan Shao is the time to take care of the head and tail, if we occupy this city and further advance, the main force of the Yuan army will definitely be in turmoil, and when the time comes, we will win, I don't know why you will choose to give up the operation to continue to go deep into Jizhou?" ”

Liu Bei saw Jian Yong asking, it was not good not to speak, after all, Jian Yong was his own cronies, not others, at this time he said: "Xianhe, now we have killed Shan Jing because we organized Shan Jing to slaughter the city, we first disobeyed Gongsun Zhan's orders, and then killed his cronies, do you think Gongsun Chan will let us go at this time, now he is entangled with Yuan Shao, so he will not attack us at present, once he has a chance to breathe, we will definitely die without a place to bury." ”

Being like this by Liu Bei, Jian Yong was suddenly taken aback, and said softly: "The general is wise, I didn't think too much about it...... But where do we go from here? ”

"I don't know yet, but we now have at least a safe period, because everyone is fighting, no one will care too much about us, let's go back and join Deran Yunchang and them first, take these troops, with our current strength, Hetian Kai is already about the same, even if he wants to move us, it is not so easy." Liu Bei tugged on the reins and prepared to turn around.

"Report! General Qiyu, after the adjutant escaped, and brought a lot of soldiers with him. ”

"What, his grandmother's bastard, general, I'll take someone to chase them back!" At this time, Zhang Fei said.

"Forget it, let them go, how many soldiers did he take?" At this time, Liu Bei asked.

"General Hui, about five hundred!"

"Got it, Yide, you bring people into the city and bring the rest of the soldiers over." After finishing it, he turned around and said, "Zilong, you lead someone to gather the soldiers here!"

"Yes, General!" Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun left in response.

"I should have killed that lieutenant just now!" Jian Yong approached Liu Beidao.

"Yes!" Liu Bei glanced at Jian Yong and signaled him not to say such things, Jian Yong immediately realized that there were many old departments around him, understood it, and closed his mouth.

"I wonder what the situation in the North and South is now?" At this time, Liu Bei said to himself.

"There is no news yet, Yuan Shu in the south led the main force to face Cao Cao, I don't know what happened to the result, and there is Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, it stands to reason that Tao Qian and Yuan Shu should not be a problem to deal with Cao Cao in Yanzhou together." Jian Yong thought carefully.

"It's still very difficult now, the soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, although Yuan Shu's power is great, but maybe Cao Cao will die and come back to life, and the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and it is possible to defeat Yuan Shu in the end." Liu Bei looked at the city and found that Yide had already brought the soldiers over.

"In the north, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao are the two rivals, if they don't fight you to the death, I'm afraid they won't stop, general, do you hope that Yuan Shao will win or Gongsun Chan win?"

"I, I wish they had stopped making peace!"

"Why do you think so, it seems that this idea is a bit unrealistic, haha......"

"Xianhe, no matter who wins now, the result will be a dominant situation, I don't want to see this situation appear, once this situation is formed, the Han family is in danger!"

"One big family?"

"Yes, if Gongsun Chan finally wins, he can drive into Jizhou, when he merges the state in the west and Qingzhou in the east, in case he kills Liu Yu again, the vast territory of Hebei will become Gongsun Zhan's, with his current mind, it is not impossible to usurp Han and stand on his own; On the contrary, Yuan Shao is the same. ”

"General Qiyu, the army here has been formed!" Zhao Yun walked over and said.

"Well, stand by!"

"Yes, General!" Zhao Yun left after finishing.

"Xuande, what should we do next?" Jian Yong asked.

"Go back first, inquire about the news, and then make plans!" Liu Bei said: "Yide is here, we are ready to go back to Pingyuan County!" ”

"Report! General Qiyu, General Tian Kai sent someone to ask to see! A soldier came at this time.

When Liu Bei heard that it was Tian Kai's messenger coming, he immediately raised his vigilance and said, "Let him come over!" ”

"General Liu, General Tian and Zang Hong fought inseparably, and now both sides are in a stalemate, General Tian hopes that you can send troops over to support!" The unkempt, embarrassed soldiers panted and tunneled, which showed that the battle ahead was not optimistic.

Listening to the words of the messenger, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, now Tian Kai is in danger, if I send troops to save him, this is another favor, besides, the personal grievances between Tian Kai and Shan Jing are not, neither of them looks down on anyone, it really helps me.

At this time, Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei had come, so he said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, please make a trip, and order you to lead 2,000 cavalry to support General Tian." After that, he turned around and whispered a few words to Jian Yong, Jian Yong understood and smiled, so he prepared to go with Zhang Fei.

"General, what have you and Xianhe whispered, mysterious and secretive, what I can't know Zhang Fei, you might as well let me hear it!"

Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei was so curious, so he smiled and came to him: "I'll know when the time comes, haha......"

"This ...... Oops, I'm so anxious! ”

Liu Bei didn't pay attention to it at this time, and said to Zhang Fei: "Yide, you go to support General Tian quickly, it's not good if it's late!" ”

"Well, I know, then I'll go first!" After Zhang Fei finished, he led his troops and set off with Jian Yong.

"General, I have arranged our old department in the front, and the old department of Shan Jing in the back, let's go to the front!" Zhao Yun said softly at this time.

"Yes, good!" Liu Bei was very relieved to see that Zhao Yun was so careful.

......

"Deran, Yun Chang, I'm back!" Liu Bei ordered Zhao Yun to take the soldiers to resettle, and dismounted himself and walked into the barracks.

"Oh, General, you're finally back!"

"What's wrong, what's the matter?" Liu Bei said with a puzzled expression.

Liu Deran said: "News from the front front, Gongsun Zhan seems to have ceased war with Yuan Shao!" ”

"What, what's going on, come and hear it!" Liu Bei said in surprise at this time, he walked into the camp tent, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in one go.

"Before Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought, once defeated by Koyi Yi, has been beaten back to Youzhou, fled to Jixian County, in the southeast of the county to build another city to defend itself, later Yuan Shao sent the general Cui Juye to lead the troops to attack Gongsun Zhan's hometown, but the city defense was strong, did not attack down, so the army returned to the south, when passing through the giant horse water was caught up by Gongsun Zhan's army, Cui Juye was beaten and fled, there were seven or eight thousand people killed in the army, so Gongsun Chan wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but was defeated by Yuan Shao in Longcuo, and the two sides then fought into a balance of power."

"And then?" Liu Bei sat down and motioned for Guan Yu and Deran to sit down as well.

"Later, Zi saw that the Kwantung Army had been in a melee, so he sent Taifu Ma Riyan and Taifu Zhao Qi to reconcile the dispute between the Kwantung princes, and the Taifu Zhao Qi went north and persuaded Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, and the two of them ceased fighting."

"It's that simple?" Liu Bei asked suspiciously.

"I don't think it's that simple, but I can't figure out why." Guan Yu said.

"General, in my opinion, Yuan Shao is indeed in a hurry to stop the army and make peace now, because the Montenegrin army inside Jizhou is arrogant, if Yuan Shao's main force has been held by Gongsun Zan on the border of Youji, this is not a good thing for Yuan Shaolai, who has just gained a foothold in Jizhou." At this time, Liu Deran said.

"Well, Deran is good, and Gongsun Chan must have his own troubles now, in my opinion, there must be something wrong with his rear, and the eight or nine are not far from ten is related to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Liu Yu has a gentle personality, and he doesn't like Gongsun Chan such a poor soldier, so when he fought with Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, he must have put pressure on Gongsun Chan in the rear, which led to Gongsun Chan's eagerness to stop the army and make peace, the arrival of the servant Zhao Qi this time undoubtedly gave both sides a step, so he was so smooth." Liu Bei said thoughtfully.

"General, I also understand when I hear you like this, Taifu Ma Riyan went south to persuade Cao Cao and Yuan Shu to fight the war, but he didn't have the luck of the servant Zhao Qi, Yuan Shu he didn't have Yuan Shao's predicament, although there was a Liu Biao in the south who was restraining him, but he had Sun Jian there to resist, so he and Cao Cao could be said to win this battle, this time I saw Taifu Ma Riyan to persuade peace, Cao Cao may be nectar, but to Yuan Shu he is here to make trouble, therefore, Yuan Shu imprisoned Taifu Ma Riyan, Don't let him go. At this time, Guan Yu talked eloquently.

"What, this Yuan Shu is too bold, even the emperor's people dare to imprison him, does he want to rebel?" Liu Bei slapped the table heavily and scolded angrily.

"Now that you have soldiers, you have the right, and having soldiers in your hands is the king, and this kind of thing is estimated to happen often in the future!" Liu Deran sighed.

At this time, Liu Bei clenched his fists, but finally let go helplessly, he knew in his heart that the Han Dynasty had fallen apart, and if he wanted to revitalize the Han Dynasty, the first thing to do was to eradicate people like Yuan Shu, as many as he wanted, as many as he wanted, thinking of this, Liu Bei's eyes became firm again.
