"What you said is true?"

Liu Bei's face was ugly and excited.

"What the villain said is true, and there is also a letter from Master Jian Yong here."

The man took the letter and said excitedly,

Zhang Fei snatched the letter and read it carefully, for fear of missing a place.

"Damn Guanhai!"

A moment later, Zhang Fei was furious, and at this time Liu Bei also read the letter.

"Oooo

Liu Bei took three steps back, and his face showed despair.

"Why is this so-and-so, why?"

He couldn't believe that Guan Hai, whom he trusted so much, would betray him and become a traitor who lured the wolf into the house.

"I have already said that I can't believe it, and the military advisor has also persuaded it, but it's a pity, alas!"

Guan Yu's face was heavy.

"My lord, now is not the time to be sad and sluggish, but to find a way to deal with the current predicament."

Kou Zhun on the side persuaded him, only he is still calm now, don't look at Guan Yu's face is just heavy, but in fact, his heart is already angry.

"Kill! Guan Hai must die! ”

Sure enough, as soon as Kou Zhun's words fell, Guan Yu's murderous voice sounded.

"Yes, such a villain, it must be killed!"

Zhang Fei was also angry.

"Lord, judging from the current situation, our army still has a chance to recapture Qingzhou, and his subordinates think that the lord should immediately lead the troops north to stabilize the situation in Qingzhou, I believe that in the name of the lord, there are still many people under Guan Hai who are willing to follow the lord."

Kou Zhun persuaded him.

"Okay, immediately lead the troops back to Qingzhou!"

Liu Bei decisively ordered that although the army had not yet recuperated, the current situation could not allow him to recuperate too much.

"No!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are high-spirited.

"There are two brothers and a military advisor!"

Liu Bei said solemnly to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Kou Zhun.

"The Lord is serious!"

Kou Zhun hurriedly replied.

"Brother, don't worry, Guan Yu will not disappoint my brother!"

Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

"Big brother, you are optimistic, Zhang Fei will definitely kill the Jizhou thief and bring the traitor Guan Hai over."

Zhang Fei also spoke.

"Good!"

Liu Bei nodded solemnly.

After giving an order to Guan Yu and others, Liu Bei went to Tao Qian's Assassin's Mansion.

"Brother Gongzu!"

"Xuande suddenly visited, I don't know what the important thing is?"

Tao Qian asked curiously.

"Alas, something happened in Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban Guan Hai rebelled, leading the soldiers and horses of Jizhou into Qingzhou, Liu Bei must immediately lead the troops back to Qingzhou, so he came to resign to Brother Gongzu."

Liu Bei sighed, in fact, in Liu Bei's heart, Guan Hai still did not enter his circle, did not attract his attention, the four words of Yellow Turban Guan Hai represent his attitude, he has always regarded Guan Hai as a yellow scarf, as a descendant.

"I need some help!"

Tao Qian hurriedly spoke, for Liu Bei, Tao Qian was appreciative and grateful from the bottom of his heart, at first he felt that Liu Bei had other ideas, but with the battle of about a month, he felt that Liu Bei could be a friend.

More importantly, Liu Bei is different from Sun Ce, until now Liu Bei has not negotiated conditions, remuneration, or compensation with him, you must know that Liu Bei has lost nearly 30,000 troops.

"Bows and arrows, grain and grass, horses, these things, Liu Bei needs to borrow some from Brother Gongzu."

Liu Bei was very smart, he said that he borrowed instead of asking, which made Tao Qian appreciate him even more.

"Don't say a word between you and me, since you need a certain must give full support, it's a pity that the soldiers and horses can't give support."

Tao Qian was very generous, but at the same time he was also very disappointed, because the damage in Xuzhou was too heavy in this war, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, hundreds of thousands of people were guilty, and countless fertile fields and mountains and forests were destroyed.

However, fortunately, after this battle, Xuzhou not only the soldiers but also the people have achieved unprecedented unity and unity. At the same time, it also made Tao Qian aware of the shortcomings of Xuzhou, and Tao Qian has set up sufficient plans recently, he needs to strengthen the construction of the army, strengthen the recruitment of talents, especially the recruitment of military generals.

"Thank you, Brother Gongzu, Liu Bei will definitely thank you again in the future!"

Liu Bei said solemnly that Tao Qian could lend a helping hand at this time, so that Liu Bei felt that he still had something to gain from sending troops this time.

"Xuande is careful, if you really can't do it, then come to Xuzhou."

Tao Qian said heavily, Tao Qian is not optimistic about Liu Bei's current state, since Yuan Shao has done it, he must be sure, in Tao Qian's opinion, even if Liu Bei kills back, most of it will be useless.

"Thank you, Brother Gong!"

Liu Bei thanked Tao Qian again,

Soon after, Liu Bei left Tao Qian's mansion and joined Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

In just two days, Liu Bei led the preserved army of 20,000 on the road back to Qingzhou.

……

"Do you think that this time you will be able to recapture Qingzhou?"

On the way, Liu Bei asked about Kou Zhun.

"I don't know if I can take it back, but my subordinates think that the lord should have confidence."

Kou Zhun replied calmly.

"It's hard! It's hard! ”

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, he has no foundation in Qingzhou, although the people of Qingzhou agree with him, but they have never reached the point where they will sacrifice their lives for him Liu Bei, not to mention that the Qingzhou family is not convinced by him, compared to Yuan Shao, he has no popular advantage in Qingzhou.

The second is the troops, although Yuan Shao was restrained by Gongsun Zhan, there are still tens of thousands of elite troops, plus Guan Hai's troops and horses, they are already several times his strength in terms of troops.

Although after the first battle of Xuzhou, his Liu Bei's men are no longer a rabble, but Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are not weak, and the battle in Xuzhou this month has also turned his soldiers and horses into a tired division.

Liu Bei is not afraid of the gap, but he is afraid that he knows how big the gap is.

"Lord, no matter how difficult this battle will be, no matter what the outcome is, this battle must be fought by the lord, because this battle represents the dignity of the lord, if the lord does not go to Qingzhou, but stays in Xuzhou, it will only become the laughing stock of the world, rather than so, it is better to kill in Qingzhou, fight a battle, and then retreat There is nothing to do."

Kou Zhun persuaded that Qingzhou was Liu Bei's territory, and if Liu Bei allowed the traitors and others to jointly take away Qingzhou, not only did not return, but evaded and retreated, it would inevitably become a laughing stock in the world.

"How can Liu Bei let someone take away something that belongs to something, this battle must be fought!"

For a while, Liu Bei's confidence soared.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou were even more unimpeded in Qingzhou, and in a short period of time, they took several counties, and the forces of resistance were almost invisible.

A few days later, Liu Bei finally stepped into the boundary of Qingzhou, and it was on this day that Liu Bei met Jian Yong and his party who fled south.

"The subordinates are worthy of the trust of the lord!"

Jian Yong knelt in front of Liu Bei, his face full of self-blame and guilt.

"Shi Xiu?"

Liu Bei did not blame Jian Yong, but asked about Shi Xiu's whereabouts.

"After Shi Xiu learned of Guan Hai's rebellion, he went to find Guan Hai, and his subordinates heard that he was chopped to death by Guan Hai."

Jian Yong hesitated.

"Guan Hai is really bold!"

Guan Yu was instantly furious.

"Why don't you stop him!"

Liu Bei reproached.

"My subordinates can't stop it!"

Jian Yong was extremely helpless.

Kou Zhun on the side shook his head and smiled bitterly, whether it was Jian Yong or Shi Xiu, he was not at ease, because both of them were mediocre, although Jian Yong was talented, he was just a small talent, Xiao Zhi.
