Chapter 92: Tian Kai goes south
"It's finally here, and I'm going to see that puppet again!" Zhang Fei saw Tian Kai's military camp and cursed unconsciously.
"I didn't expect to see you for a year, Tian Kai's army is already so huge!" Liu Bei looked at the barracks in front of him, the shouts of the soldiers' slogans spread all over the place, the patrolling soldiers, and the neighing horses, this formation was quite the style of Gongsun Zhan back then.
"If it weren't for our repeated help, he Tian Kai would have died on the battlefield a long time ago, how can he have his current majesty!" Guan Yu stroked his beard in his hands, and his eyes kept looking around at the environment here: "The environment here is not bad, it is very suitable for people like Tian Kai who are about to retire!" β
"This pension also has to be blessed people can, not everyone can, you are like Dong Zhuo and others, Gongsun Zhan's generation, how can people who are merciful to the country and the people deserve to be old-aged, Tian Kai in front of us, although he didn't do anything to hurt reason, at least we haven't heard of it, but he is too blind, blind and arrogant, so happy, not suitable for the Central Plains with people like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, if he stops now, it's still too late, if he continues to be obsessed, I don't know where he will be in the future!" Jian Yong said disdainfully.
"Hehe~ It's not bad at all!" Liu Bei said with a smile, then he looked around and asked, "What about the Deran people?" I saw him behind me just now, why is he gone now! β
"He and Tian'er went to the back to check the grain and grass!" Zhang Fei said casually.
"Oh, I see!" Liu Bei thought thoughtfully.
"Look, it's like someone has been dragged out!" Jian Yong pointed ahead, only to see two soldiers forcibly dragging a person out of the barracks.
"It won't be the soldier punished by Tian Kai!"
"Go over and take a look, it doesn't seem to be like it, I didn't see the punished soldier still rushing in one by one, and it's good to look at him up and down!" Liu Bei deliberately sped up his speed, and as the distance narrowed, the crying became clearer and clearer.
"Tian Kai, you can't be like this, Xuzhou is in trouble, you can't see death without help!" The young man suddenly stood up and tried to rush in, but was immediately stopped by the guards guarding the door.
Liu Bei got off the horse and walked to the gate of the barracks, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others also dismounted and followed behind Liu Bei.
"Two brothers, I don't know what's going on?" Liu Bei looked at this scene and asked the doorman in surprise.
"Hey~ This person is from Xuzhou, and he wants to come for help, but my family is in trouble, so he shirks it!" After the doorman finished, he glanced at Liu Bei, looked at the people behind him, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" β
"Oh, that's the case, I'm Liu Bei, Zi Xuande, it's your family's Tian Darao's old friend, please report to your family, and Liu Bei will ask to see you!"
"You wait outside the door, I'll go and talk to Lord Thorn Shi!" The doorman turned and went in.
At this time, Liu Bei saw the young man who was dragged out sitting outside the barracks with a dead face, sobbing from time to time, so he stepped forward, squatted down and asked, "What is your name, why do you want to ask Lord Tian for help!" β
Cao Bao glanced at Liu Bei, then looked at the soldiers and horses behind him, sighed heavily and said: "My name is Cao Bao, I am the general of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Cao Cao Xing is an unrighteous soldier, conquering Xuzhou, intending to seize Xuzhou, the six counties of Xuzhou, the upper and lower soldiers and civilians, all of them are sad for Cao Cao, but my family is weak and invincible to Cao Cao, so let me come here to ask for help, if I can't borrow soldiers, my family will live and die with Xuzhou!" β
"It's really unreasonable, how can the territory of the Han Dynasty be robbed, is there still a king law in his Cao Cao's eyes!" Liu Bei stood up and said resentfully: "I always thought that Cao Cao was a benevolent and righteous gentleman, but I didn't expect that he was a hypocrite, and in this world, hypocrites are more terrible than real people!" β
"Brother, hurry up, I am Liu Bei, the minister of the plains, after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, I am willing to go to Xuzhou with you to exterminate the Cao thief and rescue the people of Xuzhou!" Liu Bei stretched out his hand and helped Cao Bao up.
"That's true!" Cao Bao asked in surprise.
"His grandmother's, my eldest brother has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, and when he sees your family in trouble today, he will naturally come to the rescue, what should he really be!" Zhang Fei saw him crying and crying as a big man, and said with a disdainful expression.
Cao Bao didn't pay attention to Zhang Fei, and immediately knelt down and said: "Liu Yuanjun, if you are really a benevolent and righteous person, then let's go now, otherwise I'm afraid that my family won't last long!" β
"Wait a minute, I want to persuade Tian Kai to go together, I only have a thousand soldiers and horses here, even if I go, it won't play a substantive role, Tian Kai is different, he has strong troops, persuade him to go together, maybe you can change the situation of the war!" Liu Bei held Cao Bao's hand and said.
"He won't go, he will collect the plains first, and then go back to the army to save my family, by then, the daylilies will be cold, how can there be time to save people!"
Liu Bei frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "I have my own way!" β
"That, Liu Bei, my family asked you to go in alone, and the others stood outside!" At this moment, the doorman walked out of the inside.
"What, why did you only ask my eldest brother to go in alone, are you trying to make trouble?" Zhang Fei grabbed the doorman's collar and said.
"Yide, let go!" Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei was so weak that he immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei scolding, so he had to give up, and the doorman saw Zhang Fei's violent, rubbed his neck with his hand, and immediately took two steps back, saying: "These are all my family's adults, what are you angry with me!" β
"His grandmother's! Do you want to die? Just as Zhang Fei was about to raise his fist and slam it over, Cao Bao next to him couldn't look at it, and reprimanded: "Reckless man, what kind of ability is a big bully, you only know how to solve things by force, and there is no difference between Cao and the thief!" β
Zhang Fei was stunned at this time, withdrew his hand, stared at Cao Bao and turned his head to look at Cao Bao, and sneered: "Okay, you stinky man, otherwise, let's try to compete, I only know what kind of man is crying and crying in front of others, you can't even beat Cao Cao, and you dare to be majestic here!" β
"It's better than it, you think I'm afraid of you when you look big!" Cao Bao was Zhang Feiyi, and the anger in his heart spontaneously appeared.
"Enough for the two of you, Yide, you stand down!" Liu Bei saw that if he didn't stop it, they would really fight, and his younger brother Zhang Fei understood that if he missed and killed someone, it would be okay.
"Big brother, he was rude first!" Zhang Fei said unconvinced.
"Third brother, restrain yourself and listen to the eldest brother!" Guan Yu stood up at this time and dissuaded Zhang Feidao.
"Yes, we are not enemies, we will become comrades on the battlefield in a few years, don't hurt the harmony now!" Jian Yong said with a smile.
"Yun Chang, I'll go in first!" Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu and signaled him to control the atmosphere outside, so as not to get out of control at that time.
"Okay, big brother, you go, leave it to me here!" Guan Yu put one hand on Zhang Fei's shoulder and said to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei, led by the soldiers, walked into Tian Kai's camp.
"Oh, Brother Xuande is here, I haven't seen you for a long time!" As soon as Tian Kai saw Liu Bei, he got up and greeted him.
"Lord Tian, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much!" Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "Here I congratulate Lord Tian on his joy in Qi County!" β
"Hehe~ I still have to rely on your blessing, without your help, it is still a question whether Zang Hong's hard bone can be gnawed down, let alone Qi Jun!" Tian Kai pointed to the empty seat and said, "Come, sit down!" β
"Thank you, Lord Tian!" Liu Bei bent down to thank him, and then sat down in his seat.
"Xuande, I also know what you did in the plains, it's a pity!"
Liu Bei listened to Tian Kai's words, stood up again, lowered his head and said: "Liu Bei is here to ask Lord Tian for his guilt this time, Liu Bei's ability is insufficient, and he can't rule the plain well, causing damage to you, Lord Tian, and causing trouble, it's really my sin!" β
"Look at you, what are you talking about, sit down, sit down!" Tian Kai pretended to be polite.
"The great families of the plains are ferocious, even Xuande, your 4,000 army suppressed there, he can make waves, it seems that he is also a difficult bone to gnaw!" Tian Kai said deliberately.
"Lord Tian doesn't know, Liu Bei only has 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining 3,000 are lent to Kong Beihai to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thief for him!"
"Oh? There is such a thing! Tian Kai pretended to be confused and said: "I see, my brother Xuande, you have a good plan and are familiar with military books, how can you not even take down these ruffians!" β
Liu Bei couldn't hold it on his face when he heard it, and he didn't feel good listening to it in his heart, so he said: "I really have few soldiers and horses, and the ruffians are not strong, but Yuan Shao's intervention is like this!" β
"What? Yuan Shao? Tian Kai was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, hurry!" β
"The plain family colluded with Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and the inside and outside should be together, I was negligent and was driven out!" Liu Bei said expressionlessly.
"How is it possible, isn't Yuan Shao fighting with Lord Gongsun in the north?" Tian Kai suddenly said with a hippie smile: "Brother Xuande, don't make this kind of joke!" β
"It's not Yuan Shao himself, it's Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan!" Liu Bei said nonsense.
"Yuan Tan?" Tian Kai smacked his mouth at this time, frowned and said, "So, Yuan Shao intends to go east?" But the situation in the north is still deadlocked! β
"No, the situation in the north is now very clear, and General Gongsun's forces are no longer able to match Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao can see farther, because it is a matter of time before he advances eastward!"
"I see, I originally planned to let you go with me to recover the plains, this Yuan Shao intervened in it, this matter is much more difficult to do!"
"My lord, Yuan Shao in the north is strong, and he is the fourth and third dukes, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials are all over the place, and we really can't match it, since the north has lost the opportunity for development, why not develop in the south?"
"To the south?"
"Yes, Cao Cao in the south, after the eunuch, has a bad reputation, and his strength is not as strong as Yuan Shao, and now he is confronting Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, if Tian Daren leads the army to go out and join forces with Tao Qian, he can defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and then Tian Daren can take advantage of the victory to pursue and seize Yanzhou, so that he has the capital to confront Yuan Shao!"
"What do you think?" Tian Kai asked the others under the phosphorus.
"This ...... It seems like you can! β
"Well, Yuan Shao is too strong after all!"
......
The people below discussed a lot, and finally agreed with Liu Bei's proposal.
Tian Kai sighed and said, "Okay, let's stop the plains, let's go south!" β
