Chapter 369: Fighting Xia Pi Again
"Mr. Wenhe, I respect you as a famous person in the world, this conversation should not have happened, and you have to mention what you just said!"
"Hahaha, it seems that Xuan Degong is very dissatisfied with what I just said, but then again, I don't think there is anything wrong with what I just said. You Xuande Gong claims to be a descendant of the Han family, although the Han family has died out now, but are you willing to live in a muddy way, or are you willing to rise up to avenge Emperor Han Xian and revitalize the Han family! β
Liu Bei was silent for a moment, and then looked at Jia Xu and said: "Mr. Wenhe, you may have your reasoning, but I, Liu Bei, also have my principles, so I have to mention this matter again, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!" β
Jia Xu took two steps forward, and his eyes became more shrewd when he looked at Liu Bei, as if he could penetrate people's hearts.
"Xuande Gong, the heavens are entrusted to the Si people, this is the will of heaven, the will of heaven!" After saying this, Jia Xu laughed and left, while Liu Bei, Jian Yong and others watched from behind, Liu Feng looked at Liu Bei with his eyes, and had been waiting for Liu Bei's meeting, as long as Liu Bei nodded, he would lead people to swarm up and tear Jia Xu to pieces, but in the end, Liu Bei sighed helplessly, and no order was given.
A day later, another letter was delivered to Liu Bei, and after reading the letter, Liu Bei looked at the man in black in front of him, and finally sighed.
Soon after, Liu Bei gave up his position on the front line, took all his soldiers, and waved his army north, and his north was Jizhou, but Liu Bei did not lead his troops to fight Jizhou.
When Liu Bei walked to a certain piece of Jizhou territory, Xu You walked out of the darkness with a smile.
"Hehe, Xuande Gong, I really have admired the name for a long time!"
At this moment, Liu Bei had some feeling of congestion, because he couldn't help himself by doing this, what did Jia Xu's last sentence mean that day? How could Liu Bei not know?
Jia Xu is telling Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei does not rebel? But Liu Bei is now on the front line, holding heavy troops, having the ability to rebel, and also having the heart to be the king, and now Liu Bei has met Jia Xu in a daze, so things are even more unclear, if Guo Jia comes here, Liu Bei will definitely be taken to ask for guilt, so Liu Bei thought about it again and again, and finally chose this path.
As for why Liu Bei waved his army north to join Yuan Shao, the reason is actually very simple. It was because Liu Bei had nowhere to go now, and he didn't know what news Xu Yu had gotten, so he came to lobby Liu Bei at the right time, and he told Liu Bei that the benefits of taking refuge in King Zhao were endless.
First of all, among the existing major princes, Zhao has the largest power and the widest territory, and the unification of the world by Zhao has become an inevitable trend, and secondly, the reputation of King Zhao is the largest, which is an era of fame.
Whether it is Cao Cao or Cao Xing, one is after the eunuchs, and the other is the rise of commoners, but the fame of the two of them cannot be compared with Yuan Shao, so if they are called emperors in the future, Yuan Shao is logical, after all, the fame of the fourth and third princes of their family is very great.
In the end, Xu You also summarized Liu Bei, Liu Bei was not trusted in Wei State, and was understood, maybe it won't be long before he was sent to the guillotine, but coming to Zhao State is definitely a huge benefit, and King Zhao will treat people with courtesy.
Liu Bei thought for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed, and took his 20,000 soldiers and horses to take refuge in Zhao directly.
Because this matter has happened, it is inevitable that many people are chewing their tongues there and saying anything, they have long seen that Liu Bei has the intention of rebellion and rebellion, and they have been admonishing Xiahou Yuan to prepare early, but Xiahou Yuan did not listen, and now it has caused a tragedy.
Liu Bei was appointed by Xiahou Yuan, and it was also given by Xiahou Yuan to the military power, for Liu Bei's rebellion, Xiahou Yuan was duty-bound, after solving the matter in Xuzhou, Xiahou Yuan was afraid that he would be summoned back to Xuchang, and then there would be some troublesome things to find his head, but for Liu Bei's rebellion, Xiahou Yuan was also very depressed in his heart, if it wasn't for the unfavorable situation, he really wanted to stand up and defend himself.
As for these bastards under him, they talk nonsense there every day, and even if Liu Bei doesn't want to be opposed, they will be said against them, but it is already a little late to say anything at this moment, and the person who is in charge here is no longer Xiahou Yuan, but Guo Jia from Xuchang.
Anyway, Liu Bei's rebellion has become a fact, and Xiahou Yuan also consciously handed over the military power and the rest of the power, and handed it all over to Guo Jia. After all, Guo Jia is also a person who understands military affairs, but what Xiahou Yuan didn't expect was that Guo Jia did what he thought at the beginning, and quickly took over all the power of Xiahou Yuan in Xuzhou, and then Xiahou Yuan would think that Guo Jia would take responsibility for himself, after all, Liu Bei's rebellion, Xiahou Yuan couldn't wash it away, but what Xiahou Yuan didn't expect was that after Guo Jia took full power, he was not in a hurry to ask him for the blame.
Not only did he not ask Xiahou Yuan to blame, but he also appointed Xiahou Yuan as the forward general and listened to him at any time.
At a certain military meeting, all the generals sat upright, listening to Guo Jia's deployment, Guo Jia looked at the map, and all the troops were deployed in an orderly manner. Everything was explained clearly, and all the generals present admired it.
However, looking at Guo Jia's arrangement, Xiahou Yuan still felt a little strange in his heart, so before the meeting ended, he couldn't help but ask Guo Jia.
"Commander Guo, with all due respect, your layout doesn't look like it's aimed at Liu Bei, nor is it aimed at Zhao Guo, so who are you targeting!"
Guo Jia did smile, glanced at all the generals present, and then said loudly: "Haven't you figured it out yet?" Our real enemy is not the mutinous Liu Bei, nor the troublemaker Yuan Shao, but the person who has been lurking in our Xuzhou, I must find him out this time, as long as he is killed, it can be said that he is in a big trouble! β
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Xiahou Yuan and the others instantly understood, and at the same time, they had to admire Guo Jia's courage.
The rebellion of the generals, or the rebellion of the generals in front, this kind of thing is a big thing, and now it has spread, it is said that Cao Cao's side has exerted a lot of pressure on Guo Jia, but Guo Jia withstood the pressure, abandoned everything that was in the way and hit the point, he only thought that all this, the mastermind behind the manipulation was Cao Xing. He actually wanted to find out Cao Xing today.
Therefore, after Guo Jia took power, he did not spend time and energy to do other things, but deployed the whole thing to defend against Cao Xing, but Guo Jia wanted to target Cao Xing, but Cao Xing has been hiding in Xuzhou and not coming out, Guo Jia Cao Cao has been looking for so long, but he has not found Cao Xing, and now where does Guo Jia get the confidence to turn Cao Xuan out?
Facing everyone's questions, Guo Jia smiled sassy, he pointed to the map and said.
"That guy Cao Xuan is not a simple person, he knows more and more Qimen techniques than me, I do have some doubts about where he is hiding now, but I am sure of one thing, if we aim here, he Cao Xuan will not sit idly by!"
Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and everyone looked at it, the place Guo Jia was pointing at was not the place, and the other place was Xiapi.
In this way, all of Guo Jia's plans have basically been made clear, even if Liu Bei rebelled, but this matter could not affect Guo Jia's mind at all, Guo Jia's ultimate goal was only one, that is, Cao Xing, since Cao Xuan didn't want to come out, then Guo Jia would lead the snake out of the hole and attack Lu Bu, I don't believe it, Cao Xing can still cat.
Therefore, at the first time, Guo Jia took Xiahou Yuan as the vanguard, led all the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and launched an attack on LΓΌ Bu again.
At the first time, Lu Bu originally thought that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief after driving away Liu Bei, but he did not expect that Liu Bei was gone, and someone who was even more difficult to deal with than Liu Bei came, and Guo Jia's hand really caught him off guard.
Guo Jia directly beat Lu Bu back to Xiapi again, looking at the dense Wei army outside, Lu Bu had no choice but to adopt the original tactics, that is, behind the high wall of Xiapi, continue to hold on, and have been consuming Guo Jia and them.
Looking at this Xiapi City, Guo Jia couldn't help but show a smile, thinking that he had been here once, but the record of that battle was not too brilliant, at least in the eyes of a top strategist like Guo Jia, it was a failure for him, but this time it was different.
Guo Jia personally commanded the whole army, and now Guo Jia can not be hindered by anything, so Guo Jia immediately ordered to besiege the city on all sides and dig canals on all sides, and he will repeat the scene of flooding Xiapi this time.
Listening to the rumbling sound of water outside the city, Lu Bu, who was sitting in the city, only felt a burst of discomfort. He has been fighting all his life, and he has been fighting for so long, he is already a little tired, during this period, Chen Gong, the general Zhang Liao and others to his adviser kept coming in to report the situation to him, but Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently, let them all go down.
Lu Bu felt that he needed to be quiet and think about it, in his life, he originally thought that he had a world-class martial arts, so he could be afraid of anyone, but at this moment, he found that this was a troubled era and an era of heroes.
You have super high martial arts, at most it is only the courage of a horseman, even if you are the best in the three armies, but you can only be alone, and others beat you in a group, it is not easy.
At this moment, Lu Bu sighed a little in his heart, he couldn't help but think of a person, that person was his father-in-law Ding Yuan, remembering that when he followed Ding Yuan to conquer the state, Ding Yuan had given him advice to let him read a little more, but at that time, Lu Bu was young and frivolous, how could he think about so many things, and only now did he feel a sense of crisis, Lu Bu couldn't help but tremble with his hand and took out a book from under his seat, this is the art of war that Cao Xing gave to his grandson, Lu Bu's heart was a little bitter, He didn't know if it would be too late to make amends at this time.
β¦β¦
Guo Jia's action is very high, under his command, only half a month, Xiapi has a feeling that all sides are flooded, Guo Jia ordered people to open the gate to release water, boom, boom, boom, and wave after wave of torrents hit the city wall of Xiapi, splashing a thousand waves.
After being hit by this current for a few days, Xiapi City has begun to become panicked, and everyone is afraid in their hearts.
In the face of this crisis, Lu Bu also couldn't sit still, as the head coach of the city, he couldn't stay in his mansion all the time and not go out, so it would only contain the hearts of the soldiers. Therefore, Lu Bu finally climbed to the top of the city and personally commanded the soldiers to defend, using the sacks that had been piled up long ago to constantly resist the impact of the water.
On this day, all the cities under Xiapi were flooded, Lu Bu on the city was exhausted, and the surrounding soldiers were all listless, but fortunately, they escaped for a day again.
Zhang Liao came in a hurry with his soldiers and horses, Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and didn't speak, just nodded indifferently, and then waved his hand, let the soldiers of the city defense go down to rest today, Zhang Liao took over, he also needs to take a good rest.
Lu Bu carried his Fang Tian painting halberd, stepped on his red rabbit horse, and walked slowly into the distance, but what Lu Bu didn't notice was that in the process of returning to the mansion, several pairs of eyes had already stared at him.
Lu Bu had returned to the mansion, and immediately a beautiful woman greeted him and helped Lu Bu untie his clothes, in fact, this woman was none other than Lu Bu's wife Yan.
"Husband, I've worked hard today, I'll go get a handful of water now and help you wash your face!" Yan said.
However, Lu Bu waved his hand to Yan, although his wife was very virtuous, but Lu Bu didn't have this mind now, he was too sleepy and had to sleep well, so Lu Bu just said hello to Yan, and then went back and fell asleep.
Seeing that Lu Bu was so tired, Yan could only sigh helplessly, and then went back to prepare for the affairs of the house, and at night, the door of Lu Bu's house was suddenly knocked, and Lu Bu was still sleeping groggyly, and Yan, as the wife of the family, did not seem to want to disturb Lu Bu's sweet dream.
So he went to open the door in person, but as soon as Yan opened the door, he saw a few people covered in blood, which frightened Yan so much that he covered his mouth, but he also took a closer look and found that these people seemed to be familiar, and Lu Bu often brought them to his home as guests in the past.
"You are ......," Yan said with some surprise.
However, a general didn't have time to say so much, so he pushed it away, looked at Yan Shi and said eagerly: "Madam, there is no time to say so much, the Wei army has a new operation, and now we must see the lord to inform him immediately, so that we can make the next defense plan, otherwise what awaits us is destruction!" β
Yan also remembered now that these people were none other than Lu Bu's eight strong generals, Hao Meng, Song Xian and others.
