"It seems that we are still one step slower than Yuan Shu!" Liu Bei took the information from the front line in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu had already led an army of 20,000 to invade Xuzhou, set off in Jiujiang County, occupied Dongcheng County in Xiapi County, and then marched along the northeast direction to attack Gaoshan County, and then the troops were divided into two roads, and the army pointed directly at Xutai and Huaiyin counties.

"We should make arrangements quickly, otherwise Yuan Shu's army will be approaching layer by layer!" Sun Qian stood in front of Liu Bei and said.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, their next target is Xutai and Huaiyin counties, in this case, Yun Chang, you lead an army of 10,000 to Huaiyin County, where the leader is Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling!" Liu Bei closed the intelligence document and said to Guan Yu.

"Yes, General!"

"I personally led an army of 10,000 and arrived at Xutai, where I rejected Yuan Shu's troops, and the commander of the army was Yuan Shu himself!" Liu Bei looked at the people present: "Yun Chang asked Xianhe to go with you, if there is anything to discuss with Xianhe, Mr. Zizhong and Gongyou will come with me!" ”

"Yes, General!"

"Yide, Xiapi City will be handed over to you, take care of the family members and people in the city!"

"Yes, big brother, you can go with confidence, sister-in-law, I will protect them!" Zhang Fei smiled and patted his chest and said confidently.

"Didn't Mr. Yuanlong come?" Liu Bei asked the people present and said, "Didn't you inform him?" ”

"I called, he is deploying the surveillance work of Cao Bao and them, I thought that the expedition had nothing to do with him anyway, so I told him not to come if he was too busy!" Zhang Fei explained.

"He doesn't need to be so nervous, me!" Liu Deran said in surprise.

"Don't rush them then, the dog is in a hurry to jump off the wall, we're going to have a big fight!" Guan Yu said.

"Yide, I let you stay in Xiapi City, not only to cooperate with Mr. Yuanlong's work, but also to restrain Mr. Yuanlong when necessary, and when he sees his sword going sideways, remind him a little that he can't let him go too far, you know?" Liu Bei stared at Zhang Fei, who was full of "I know, I know", and he always felt unsteady in his heart.

"Yide, when we go out, you must protect the safety of your sister-in-law and other family members, don't be careless, you know?" Guan Yu reminded Zhang Fei again.

"Oh, eldest brother, second brother, if you say anything, I Zhang Fei will remember that I will not let the family members in the city be harmed, I Zhang Fei...... I Zhang Fei assures you that Mr. Yuanlong will spy on him! ”

"Who asked you to spy on Mr. Yuanlong, it's cooperation!" Liu Bei glanced at Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, and hurriedly said.

Liu Bei thought to himself, his third brother's heart is really big, and he doesn't look at what to say or what to do, and now that Chen Deng's old colleagues such as Mi Zhu and Sun Qian are present, he actually said such words as "surveillance", which made people break out in a cold sweat when they heard it.

"Oh, yes, yes, cooperate, I will cooperate with him!" Zhang Fei hurriedly corrected.

"That's it, everyone, Xuzhou, please!" Liu Bei was like Tao Qian to Tian Kai and himself that day.

Long line, 10,000 people, this is the first time Liu Bei has such a strong army, like a long dragon, walking on the earth, once himself, the army has been about 1,000 people, no own territory, no own source of food and grass, the whole with a few brothers running around, now to rely on Zhang San, Ming to rely on Li Si, this situation is still good, if you meet which one of yourself no one wants, then it will be reduced to hiding in Tibet.

The first time I went out with so many teams, there were indeed some people who were not used to it, in the past, a thousand soldiers and horses, they could fight if they wanted, they could run if they wanted to, they came and went quickly; But this 10,000 army, you have to pay attention to the way to fight, in fact, I am quite envious of Cao Cao, I can lead an army of 50,000 to crusade against the opponent, and the battle is still orderly, orderly, like a fist smashed into the opponent, what a capable person, if not born in troubled times, I am still very willing to take the initiative to make friends with Cao Mengde.

When you come into contact with many people with big businessmen such as Mi Zhu and Su Shuang, you will find that in fact, the essence of a general who leads troops to fight and a businessman who goes out to do business is actually the same, the stronger a general's ability, the more soldiers he can command, and the stronger a businessman's ability, the more assets he can operate. If a general who is not good at fighting is allowed to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, he will be wiped out by the enemy second, even if he is given 1 million, it is the same, and the same is true for Shang Rao.

"General, a letter from a messenger sent by Yuan Shao!" Sun Qian rode a horse and caught up with Liu Bei, who was walking in front.

"Yuan Shao?" Liu Bei took the letter handed over by Sun Qian, and muttered, "Why did he send me a letter at this time?" ”

Spreading out the letter, Liu Bei browsed it: "Yuan Shao wants to send us an army to support us at this time, so that we can rest assured that we can fight back against Yuan Shu?" ”

"Really? What kind of heart does Yuan Shao have? Sun Qian said casually: "I remember that Yuan Shao is now trying to merge the states in the west while solving the northern Gongsun Zhan, where did he get the troops to support us!" ”

"I guess it's hanging, maybe it's just an empty paperwork, I guess he asked us to fight hard, there will be reinforcements, it's nothing more than to let us improve our morale, don't let his younger brother take advantage, I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will fight unfavorably, and if we lose Xuzhou, his Qingzhou will be dangerous!"

"So what are we going to do? How do you reply to them? Sun Qian took the letter handed over by Liu Bei and said.

"Ask him directly, when will the soldiers arrive? He wrote this kind of empty document to us, and we can't be polite to him! ”

"Then will he take advantage of this to control Xuzhou in the name of sending troops to help?" Sun Qian was worried about this, Yuan Shao was notoriously insidious, he cunningly defrauded the entire Jizhou from Han Fu, and this stain on his political career was known to the world.

"I judge that he will not do this, he has not been able to completely solve the affairs in the north now, and he plans to merge the state in the west, and he has not occupied Qingzhou in the east, how can he send troops to control Xuzhou from near and far, he needs us now, and he needs us the most!" Liu Bei said the last sentence twice.

"Why is the lord like this, are we really so important to Yuan Shaolai?" Sun Qian looked at Liu Bei and always felt that Liu Bei was too confident.

"Yuan Shao's goal now is to unify Hebei, successfully take Youzhou, Merge Prefecture and Qingzhou, and other places can be stable, how can he deliberately create chaos, besides, we have already taken refuge in name before!"

"That's right!"

"Moreover, Cao Cao has developed rapidly in his south, and now he has Yanzhou and Yuzhou, you, he is not panicking, is he afraid, the purpose of this letter he is sending now is to win us over, so that he can join forces with him to restrain Cao Cao in the future, how can he attack us, after all, we are not qualified yet!"

"Listening to you, it does make sense, so Yuan Shao sent us this letter to show us goodwill, then I will reply to him later, and ask him to give us some supplies and send some troops!"

"Well, that's it, but whether he actually sends it over is another matter!"

"Whatever, I wrote it again, didn't he take the initiative to give it to us, it's not too much for us to do this, besides, let's fight Yuan Shu now, it's not to help him fight, if we didn't stand on Yuan Shao's team, we wouldn't have clashed with Yuan Shu so soon!"

"Hehe, go write it, and I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Poof, phew!" Liu Bei, who was sitting on horseback, felt something in his mouth, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that there was a sudden strong wind in the air, and the leaves and sand and dust swept in, and the army and war horses behind him were constantly shaking in the wind, the war horses were neighing, and the soldiers covered their eyes with their hands.

Liu Bei squinted, not knowing why he encountered such anger, he shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Get off the horse, get off the horse!" He realized that the horses were easily frightened in such an environment, and that if a wild gallop came and the people on the horse would die.

"Where did the ghost come from, I can't even open my eyes!" Liu Bei directly put his face on the mount, using the mount to shield it from the wind and sand, he didn't dare to look at other things with his eyes, only the roar of the wind in his ears.

"Yes!" Su Xue, who was asleep, seemed to hear the roar of the wind, and was awakened instantly: "It turns out that I am asleep!" She said to herself.

She kept her eyes open and kept taking deep breaths, trying to wake her body from her sleep, and the short answer was to ease up. Outside, there was the sound of rain, "It's raining outside!" She said to herself.

After a long time, she dragged her tired body, stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, and a cool breeze swept in from the window in an instant, and the cool Su Xue couldn't help but shiver.

She opened the door and walked out, her breath turned cold, she looked into the distance alone, this is what she often does, she is in Songshan, always like this, alone quietly, standing there, as if always thinking about something.

"I really didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who looks exactly like me!" Su Xue said to herself: "Is this what it means, I left Xuande, but I let another person who looks exactly like myself walk into Liu Bei's heart, how cruel this is to herself!" ”

She sat down on the stone in front of the door, the wind blew on Su Xue's face, and the rain splashed on her dress, there have been such scenes before, but now that no one is there, Xuande and Deran are always together, Bo Gui is now doing a trapped beast fight, the teacher was angry with Bo Gui, it should be an end, and Gongsun Chan should also be over.
