Chapter 272: Goodbye Uncle Liu
Cao Xuan had to sigh, or Xiao Man was empathetic, he gently took Xiao Man's hand, and Xiao Man also blushed, Cao Xuan was about to do something, but at this moment, he suddenly rushed to report it, which startled Cao Xing, and Xiao Man also quickly dodged.
Cao Xuan was immediately deafened, and then the sentry also quickly dismounted and reported to Cao Xing: "Report, the Lord Qinghe County is already fifty miles away, and it has been found that there are a large number of enemy troops with about more than 10,000 people!" ”
"What!" After hearing the news, Cao Xuan did not slack off, and immediately returned to the barracks, although there were only more than 10,000 people and horses, it was not a big deal for Cao Xing, after all, Cao Xuan was still followed by the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, and these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were nothing, but what puzzled Cao Xuan was that it was clear that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses had been almost beaten by him, why did he suddenly drill out more than 10,000 people?
Cao Xuan immediately summoned the generals, and a scout came to report, and the military flag of more than 10,000 people had a big Liu character written on it, Cao Xuan was still thinking about who was playing the Liu character banner, and the scout came back to report again, and the leader was said to be called Liu Bei.
Hearing this name, Cao Xing immediately spread out the map, and after looking at the map, he understood what was going on, in the southernmost part of Jizhou, there was actually a small city called Pingyuan.
This Liu Bei used to be the county lieutenant of Anxi County, but later he was fighting to supervise the post, so he could only flee around with his soldiers and horses, but when he arrived in Xuzhou, he met the Yellow Turban Army again, and Liu Bei also took his remaining soldiers and horses to join the team to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, and as a result, he won the first credit, so Liu Bei's current position is the Minister of the Plains.
Cao Xuan gently tapped the table with his fingers: "Hehe, Uncle Liu Huang, Uncle Liu Huang, I didn't expect to meet you here again!" ”
Liu Bei led an army of more than 10,000 menacing, with Guan Yu as the vanguard, directly took the lead in the charge, and quickly attacked Cao Xing's military camp.
At this moment, Liu Bei was walking behind the Chinese army, only to see his eyes calm, touching his beard, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly at this moment he scouted to report.
"Lord, Cao Xing's military camp in front has been fully assembled, and more than 10,000 cavalry have been lined up in a row, and it seems that they are ready to fight!"
"You can see clearly, they have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in their hands!" Liu Bei asked the scout again.
The scout nodded firmly, and then replied again: "If you return to the lord, I have seen clearly that there are indeed more than 10,000 people, and I have also carefully observed them according to your instructions, and found that their cavalry, as rumored, is equipped with some things that we have never seen before, just like two feet can be smoothly stepped on the war horse, thus greatly improving stability!" ”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and asked again, "Then what is the state of their soldiers and horses!" ”
The scout pondered for a moment, then replied, "Flying the flag, murderous as a rainbow, not like a tired division!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and didn't speak, while the black-faced Zhang Fei next to him couldn't help but shout: "Great, finally there is a battle to fight again, my Zhang Fei is itching my hands now!" Big brother, you just let me go up and follow the second brother and kill him for a while! ”
However, after hearing this, Liu Bei did shake his head resolutely, and then looked at the scout monkey and said, "You go and inform my second brother, let him lead the troops to station in place, and don't act rashly!" ”
Not long after, the scouts on Cao Xuan's side also came to report that Liu Bei's vanguard, Guan Yu, led three thousand cavalry to camp in place, and Cao Xuan smiled when he heard this.
No matter what Liu Bei is here for this time, but Cao Xing can be sure of one thing, since Liu Bei dares to show his weapon in front of him, it means that Liu Bei may have bad intentions, since this is the case, then Liu Bei should be allowed to see his own strength, once Liu Bei is determined, Cao Xing's strength should not be underestimated, he will not dare to act rashly, this is human nature.
For this historical imperial uncle, Cao Xing doesn't have much idea now, after all, he also knows that Liu Bei in the first half of his life is completely displaced and can't become a climate.
Immediately, Cao Xuan asked the scout to write a letter of resignation and handed it to Liu Bei, saying that he wanted to meet with Liu Bei, when Liu Bei received Cao Xing's letter, he obviously had some hesitation on his face, but Zhang Fei Guan Yu was standing aside, looking at him with burning eyes, Liu Bei thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
On the same day, Cao He and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses lined up in formation, while Cao Xing slowly walked out with Chen Hu and walked to the center of the battlefield, while on Liu Bei's side, Liu Bei was accompanied by Guan Yu and walked out slowly, obviously both sides had great precautions against each other.
Cao Xuan couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw this formation, but he didn't think much about it. No matter what Liu Bei says, he is also a famous hero in history, he is always on guard against Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is wary of him, which is also in the past.
In the end, Cao He and Liu Bei walked to the middle of the two military formations, and the two were about ten steps apart.
Both sides all stood still, Cao Xinggang wanted to give up his fist to say hello, but he found that although Liu Bei was smiling at him at the moment, Guan Yu behind Liu Bei was not so friendly, and he saw Guan Yu with a red face and his gaze approaching Cao Xing.
Although Guan Yu has not done anything now, to put it bluntly, everyone is a military general, and since they are military generals, there is an invisible momentum on their bodies.
As soon as the momentum on Guan Yu's body came out, Cao Xing, who was directly pressed, felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, Cao Xing had to sigh in his heart, Guan Yu deserved to be a martial saint in history, he just exuded a little breath, which made Cao Xuan feel a little frightened, Cao Xing even felt that the momentum on Guan Yu's body seemed to be able to fight with Lu Bu.
But at this moment, it is obviously not the time to shoot others about sycophants, Cao Xuan also came back to his senses immediately, Liu Bei looked smiling, but Guan Yu was not good, this is obviously a red face and a white face, ready to give Cao Xuan a dismount.
In fact, this is also a normal means of negotiation, but this Guan Yu's dismount, is it a little too big, Chen Hu beside Cao Xing, the hand holding the axe is a little trembling, and the green tendons on his hand are exposed, it seems that Chen Hu also feels that something is wrong, but at this moment, Cao Xuan glanced at Chen Hu, and Chen Hu's irritable heart immediately quieted down.
Chen Hu relaxed his hand holding the axe, touched his back, and saw that there was already a crossbow machine hanging there, this kind of crossbow machine was personally handled by Ma Bo, the latest crossbow machine built for Cao Xing and others, this kind of crossbow machine can shoot a distance of about seventy steps, extremely powerful, the arrow is not missing, and even Cao Xing has a handful hanging behind him at all times.
Cao Xian touched his back casually, and then showed a pleasant smile to Liu Bei, Liu Bei seemed to have some doubts in his heart when he saw this, but in the depths of his eyes, he was deeply vigilant.
No matter how fast Guan Yu's knife technique is, he can only kill one person in an instant, but Liu Bei is not as good as Guan Yu's kung fu, whether it is Cao Xing or Chen Hu, as long as he is willing to take out the crossbow machine, the person who will be killed in the next moment will definitely be Liu Bei.
Both sides are prepared, so the negotiation can be regarded as finding a good balance.
Liu Bei coughed twice, regained his previous smile, and then arched his hand and said to Cao Xing: "General Cao, it's been a long time, since the last time the princes of the Nineteenth Road said goodbye, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" ”
"Hehe, yes, Uncle Liu Huang is okay when he comes......"
Hearing Cao Xuan call himself Uncle Huang, Liu Bei's eyes also flashed with a look of joy, Cao Xuan gave face like this, but it was a little unexpected for him, the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then entered the topic.
"Uncle Liuhuang, to tell you the truth, the reason why I, Cao Xing, have not left this place at the moment is because there has been a large-scale plague in several county towns, and I have stayed here for a long time in order to control the spread of the people's disease!"
Hearing that Cao Xing had lived so many people, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a different color, while Guan Yu's eyes had a look of admiration, after all, Cao Xing's move can be regarded as the righteousness of the world. Guan Yu is a person who values affection and righteousness, so at this moment, he also has a touch of admiration for Cao Xing in his heart.
"But now that I have something over there, I have to hurry back, I was still a little hesitant, but it just so happens that now that Uncle Huang is here, I think I should be able to leave, I don't know if Uncle Liu is willing to take over this burden!"
Cao Xing asked with a smile, and even the last sentence Cao Xing used a questioning tone, Liu Bei's answer seems to be only two, one is one and the other is not answered, if you take it, everything is easy to say, if you don't answer, Liu Bei has always regarded himself as a man of benevolence and righteousness, and this time he will lose a lot of money.
Therefore, Cao Xing clearly saw that after Liu Bei heard his words, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"Hehe, what, Uncle Liu Huang, I heard that you have always regarded yourself as benevolent and righteous, and this time you are unwilling to help these people who are plagued by the plague!" Cao Xingcai didn't care so much, he was directly aggressive.
And at this moment, Liu Bei also reflected, only to see that his expression was a little flustered, and he hurriedly nodded in response: "Cao, where did General Cao say, for the well-being of the common people in the world, how could I Liu Bei refuse, it's just, it's just ......" Liu Bei pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "It's just that I, Liu Bei, am a vulgar person, and my second and third brothers are also people who practice martial arts, and they don't know anything about medical skills, and we can't control these plagues at all!" ”
"But since this is a matter for the people, I, Liu Bei, must be the one to do, and ask General Cao to stay here for a few days first, teach us how to treat the people, and then leave!"
