Chapter 230: Liu Bei is in the fire
Of course, Liu Bei knows that it is comfortable to be the king of the mountain when he goes back to Luoyang, and he has to ask the Son of Heaven if he has nothing to do in Luoyang, and of course he is comfortable to be the boss outside. But he has a good reputation, so he is afraid that the Son of Heaven will summon him to go back, and if he doesn't go back, he is afraid that the world will say that he is also a chaotic minister and thief.
Zhang Feidao: What is the eldest brother going back to Luoyang, it's good here, why go back to Luoyang to be angry with that bird.
Gongyou, do you think Yuan Benchu can hold Xuzhou?
Liu Bei asked.
It's hard to say, I heard that Cao Cao besieged Pengcheng for half a month. In the eyes of his subordinates, he will lose if he keeps it for a long time! If there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't be able to hold Xuzhou.
Then do you think we can go back to Xuzhou?
Liu Bei has always been obsessed with Xuzhou, he has been in Xuzhou for a long time, Tao Qian also gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and the people of Xuzhou have a good impression of Liu Bei. Then there is the wealth of Xuzhou. Money and food are abundant, much stronger than Runanke.
Of course, Sun Qian knew Liu Bei's thoughts, but it was not easy to take Xuzhou. Picking chestnuts from the fire is not something that Liu Bei's thousands of people can do.
It is difficult for the lord to take Xuzhou, and now Cao Cao has 100,000 horses, and if he takes Pengcheng, he will definitely enter the army. If the lord wants to recapture Xuzhou, Cao Cao will definitely turn his back. Some time ago, the lord united with him to defeat Yuan Shu and take the four counties of Runan, but Cao Cao was unwilling. It's just that Yuan Shao is here, so he just turns a blind eye. If the lord also wants to take Xuzhou, he will definitely send troops to attack. With our current strength, we can't threaten Cao Cao. Sun Qiandao.
What about United Lu Bu? Liu Bei asked?
United Lu Bu? Sun Qian exclaimed!
Zhang Fei said loudly: What? Unite the three surnames of domestic slaves? We are in Xuzhou, it is he who colluded with Cao Bao. I lost Xuzhou. Now that you are still uniting him, are you dizzy, big brother?
Yide, this time and that time. At the beginning, Lu Bu was not convinced that we had to attack Xuzhou. Now that Xuzhou is occupied by Yuan Shao, Lu Bu must also hold a grudge. Now that Yuan Cao is in the war, there must be emptiness in Xuzhou, and I don't believe that Lu Bu will not be moved.
Now we have few soldiers. And Lu Bu is no better. If we take the initiative to unite. With the two virtuous brothers and Lu Bu's bravery, he will definitely be able to fight a piece of the world.
Sun Gandao: But will Lu Bu agree? Besides, Lu Bu has no credibility at all. If we unite. How to divide the territory after the war?
Liu Bei said: Cao Cao is strong, if he defeats Yuan Shao, he will definitely occupy Pengcheng State (the same level as the county), and Yuan Shao will definitely retreat to Qingzhou after defeat. In this way, Guangling, Donghai, Langya, and the three counties are left.
Lu Bu should take the initiative to ask for Guangling, because he has been in Guangling for a long time. Then let's take Donghai County. There are thirteen counties in Donghai County, and they are rich in salt and iron. If you can get the East China Sea, you can recruit tens of thousands of troops.
Sun Qiandao: At present, Yuan Shao's main forces are in Pengcheng and Xiapi. If you unite with Lu Bu to take the East China Sea, it is not impossible for the two counties of Guangling to arrive. It's just that if Yuan Shao is defeated and Cao Cao comes to attack, how can we hold it?
Liu Beidao: Cao Cao and Yuan Shao must have suffered heavy casualties after the battle, such as taking Pengcheng and going down to Pi, they will definitely rest. By then, we will see that we have already taken the East China Sea. Maybe they won't attack us.
Even if he sends heavy troops to attack, we can maneuver.
Moreover, it is estimated that Cao Cao did not dare to put heavy troops in Xuzhou. He still has to guard against Zhang Jie! That's his big problem!
As long as we can stay in the East China Sea for a year or two, we can pull up 20,000 horses. Let's decide on the next step! It's better than spending it in this Runan!
Sun Qiandao: The Lord is reasonable. Now that we have this little manpower, even if we can't get the East China Sea, how far can we go? It's a big deal to go back to Runan. It's just that I'm afraid that Lu Bu doesn't want to unite with us!
Liu Bei said with a smile: Lu Bu disagrees, but Chen Gong will definitely agree, Lu Bu and us are almost the same, both are weak in power, if we can form an alliance, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Chen Gongnai is a wise man who will definitely understand this truth. Lu Bu trusted Chen Gong very much and obeyed him. With Chen Gong here, the alliance will be successful.
Sun Gandao: In this case, my subordinates will go to Lu Bu for a trip. We must persuade Chen Gong to form an alliance with us.
I have to say that Liu Bei can endure it, and Lu Bu robbed his new wife. took his Xuzhou again, and he can still take the initiative to unite with Lu Bu. I have to say that Liu Bei's heroic temperament. Absolutely no one can do it. In history, Liu Bei kindly took in Lu Bu, and after Lu Bu sneak attacked and occupied Xuzhou, Liu Bei also held back, and finally was willing to stay in Xiaopei.
At that moment, Sun Qian went to see Lu Bu, and when Lu Bu heard that Liu Bei's envoy Sun Qian came to see him. It's also strange that the two of them were enemies once, how could they send an envoy to ask for a meeting.
Lu Bu called Chen Gong to meet Sun Qian. Lu Budao: Liu Bei and I are enemies, and Mr. is not afraid that I will kill you when I come here?
Haha, Wen Hou is a great hero who stands up to the sky, how can he be a weak book for me. Besides, the two armies are not fighting and not being killed. Besides, your and my family are not at war now. Wen Hou will not be killed.
Lu Bu likes people to say that he is a hero. Sun Qian's ass patted him, and he said politely at the moment: What is the matter with Mr. coming here.
Our lord hopes to form an alliance with Wen Hou and take Xuzhou together.
Sun Qiandao.
What? Aligned with me? Capture Xuzhou?
Did I hear me right? Lu Budao.
Wen Hou heard me right. Now the main forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are in Pengcheng.
Xuzhou is very empty inside. As long as you and I form an alliance and unite, we can seize the two counties of Xuzhou and Guangling in the East China Sea.
Chen Gongdao: I don't know how many soldiers and horses Xuande Gong has now?
Sun Qiandao: There are 8,000 people. In fact, it's only five thousand. Of course, Sun Qian will not tell the truth.
Lu Budao: Where did Liu Bei get so many people? I heard that when he went to Luoyang, there were less than two hundred people.
Yes, it is true that my lord has just arrived in Luoyang, and there are less than 200 people.
It's just that after Yuan Shu became emperor, the Son of Heaven sent my lord to quell the rebellion. Fifteen hundred centaurs were given. Plus recruited in Runan. There are currently 8,000 people. It's just mostly recruits. Sun Qiandao.
Chen Gong was somewhat convinced.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought a decisive battle in Pengcheng, and no matter who won or lost, they would suffer heavy casualties. Judging from the current situation, Cao Cao should win. But even if Cao Cao wins, he will take Pengcheng and go down. He was no longer able to attack elsewhere. Soldiers need to rest. Grain and grass are also unsustainable. This gives us both the opportunity to expand our armies. Good strength.
Lu Budao: Guanglingbu can go and get it himself, why do you need Liu Bei.
Sun Gandao: Wen Hou can take down Guangling, but if Cao Cao comes to attack us? If you form an alliance with our lord, then the two sides will advance and retreat together, if Cao Cao comes to attack either side, wouldn't it be better for the other party to help each other?
If Wen Hou doesn't like Guangling, then it's okay to go to Donghai County. My lord takes Guangling.
Chen Gongdao: Mr. Gongyou go down and take a rest, how about I discuss with the lord and then reply to you?
Sun Qiandao: It's better to go down first.
After Sun Qian went down, Chen Gong said: Feng Xian, Gong feels that the advantages of forming an alliance with Liu Bei outweigh the disadvantages.
Although Cao Cao promised us to jointly attack Yuan Shao, he would give up Guangling to us. But what if Cao Cao repented? If you unite with Liu Bei, you will first take Guangling to create a fact. If Cao Cao repents and comes to attack, we don't have many helpers.
