The envoy sent by Cen Bi had already arrived in Chang'an, but Liu Bei was not in Chang'an, but far away in Ningzhou, so the envoy had to wait for Liu Bei's reply in Ningzhou in Chang'an!

At the same time, in order to prevent Cen Bi from encountering Yuan Shao's army, Jia Xu met Cai Yan in person, and then Cai Yan authorized Cen Bi to cross the river and camp in Xie Liang, and the grain and grass needed for more than 30,000 people and horses brought by Cen Bi were also provided by Chang'an!

It's just that everything hasn't been delayed for too long, although Ningzhou is far away, but the roads between Yongzhou, Liangzhou and even the counties of Xizhou and Shuangzhou have already been repaired, and Liu Bei also has a lot of sweat and blood BMW, so it only took about half a month for the messenger to travel between Ningzhou and Chang'an!

For Cen Bi's refuge, Liu Bei has no joy or sorrow, for Cen Bi, Liu Bei doesn't care very much, but for the righteousness that Cen Bi can occupy in the future to attack and merge the state, Liu Bei is still relatively happy!

As for whether taking Cen Bi will cause Yuan Shao to be angry and attack Sizhou, Liu Bei is not very worried, although Yuan Shao is now like a bamboo, but there is an obstacle from the Yellow River between the state and Sizhou, and at the same time, Yuan Shao will inevitably need to recuperate after conquering the state, and more importantly, Kirby in the north is not easy to match, so in the short term, Yuan Shao should not be stupid enough to attack Sizhou!

Even if the estimation was wrong, Yuan Shao wanted to fight with all his might, Liu Bei was not worried, Liu Bei had deployed no less than 200,000 troops in Sizhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou, and they were all elite, enough to fight with Yuan Shao!

After discussing with Tian Feng and others, Liu Bei officially replied to the Ministry of War and the Government Affairs Office. Accept Cen Bi to take refuge, and at the same time appoint Cen Bi as the Taishou of Xihe County, and allow to keep a thousand personal guards!

As for the remaining 8,000 soldiers under his command, Liu Bei ordered the military department to be directly merged into Sizhou, and at the same time ordered Zhang Haolin to command, and at the same time selected 4,500 soldiers from the surrounding counties and counties to form the Sizhou soldiers, mainly to defend and merge Yuan Shao!

As for the less than 30,000 people who followed Cen Bi, Yu Xie Liang was transformed into a people on the spot, and all treatments, benefits, and rations were the same as those of the original Xie Liang people! And because these people are military households, they all follow the reduction and exemption policy set by Liu Bei in terms of taxes!

And when Zhang Zhao received Liu Bei's letter, and made a big profit to Cen Bi Liu Bei's willingness to surrender, Cen Bi was naturally overjoyed, but when he knew that he could only leave a thousand guards, Cen Bi was still slightly disappointed, but the situation was stronger than people, Cen Bi was helpless to recognize, at least he was still the Taishou of Xihe County, as long as Liu Bei defeated Xihe County, then Xihe County would still be his own!

However, half a year later, Cen Bi's view completely changed, and the people who came with him gradually forgot Cen Bi due to a series of good policies provided by Liu Bei, and those who were willing to follow Cen Bi to the death were only a thousand guards under his current command!

Cen Bi had already surrendered to Liu Bei, and before taking Xihe County, Cen Bi could only live in Chang'an!

For the entire Liu Bei Group, Cen Bi's refuge is just a small wave in the sea, and what the civil and military forces in Chang'an really care about is the travel of the young master Liu Feng!

Liu Feng had already set off from Chang'an ten days ago, and Ma Chao and Huang Xu led 2,000 tigers and leopards to ride, as well as 10,000 war horses, all the way to Wuguan!

And Xun You, who was far away in Yuan Shu's army, met Yuan Shu again after receiving letters from Zhang Zhao, Jia Xu and Cai Yan!

"Duke Ming, my young lord Liu Feng has already brought a dowry to the Ming Gong tent, but my housewife asked for 5,000 war horses in exchange for Wuguan first, and then continue to go south to the Ming Gong tent to get hired!"

"Oh, Liu Bei agreed?" Yuan Shu asked!

"My lord should have agreed, but my lord is not in Chang'an at this time, so I don't know, but my housewife has already agreed to this marriage, so Ming Gong has no worries!

And in order to show sincerity, my housewife also sent several generals to train cavalry for Ming Gong, in order to Ming Gong Dingyang! Xun You said!

"Oh, if that's the case, it's okay to exchange Wuguan first, but I can only promise to let you and the others lead a thousand troops to be stationed in Wuguan first, and only when Liu Feng arrives in my army will he withdraw from Wuguan!" Yuan Shu nodded when he heard this, and he agreed!

"Naturally!" After speaking, he said goodbye and left, and at the same time, Yuan Shu also wrote a warrant for his cronies to send to Wuguan quickly, and Xun You replied to Cai Yan after returning to the camp, and Liu Feng naturally wrote a letter.

And Liu Feng arrived at Wuguan on the second day after receiving Xun You's letter, and then handed over five thousand war horses with Chen Lan, an unrelated guard, and successfully settled in Wuguan, as for Yuan Shu's rule that only one thousand generals are allowed, it cannot restrict Liu Feng, because the two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry led by Liu Feng are not considered Wuguan garrisons!

After Chen Lan obtained 5,000 war horses, he selected 5,000 soldiers who could ride horses from the 30,000 defenders of Wuguan and turned them into cavalry! After that, Chen Lan asked to see Liu Feng according to Yuan Shu's request!

"Gongzi Liu, my lord asked Lan to come to visit Gongzi mainly because he wanted Gongzi to send generals to train cavalry for me, and now the cavalry candidate has been selected!"

"This is natural, but my army only stays for three or five days, and I will set off after my second uncle leads people into Wuguan, such a short time, I will not be able to finish the training, how should this be good?" Liu Feng opened his mouth and said!

"My lord's natural way, Liu Gongzi will not stay for long, so he has already made it clear that these five thousand cavalry will be handed over to Liang Gang, the deputy general of Lanzhi, and will go to Yangzhou with Gongzi!" Chen Lan then said directly!

"That's very good, I'll send the generals to your army to help train later!" Liu Feng thought for a while, and then spoke!

After Chen Lan left, Liu Feng said to Ma Chao and Huang Xu, who were accompanying him: "And for my brother, I don't know who is willing to train a cavalry for my future father-in-law?" ”

However, Ma Chao and Huang Xu glanced at each other, but they didn't speak, and finally Liu Feng had no choice but to order: "Brother Meng Qi, I know that you disdain it, but my father's order, I have to follow, and I will trouble Brother Meng Qi to go for me next time, and at the same time, I will send five hundred tigers and leopards to ride with you!" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he took the order sullenly and left! And Liu Feng also knows why Ma Chao and Huang Xu are unwilling, but now the situation has to be like this!

In this way, Liu Feng ordered the army to wait in Wuguan for three days, and after three days, Zhang Ren led an army of 50,000 from Hangu Pass, and on the same day, Zhang Ren led a thousand guards to enter Tongguan.

When Chen Lan heard this, he specially divided an area from Wuguan to attack Zhang Ren and station!

After that, Liu Feng never stopped, but led two thousand tigers and leopards to ride, five thousand war horses and five thousand Yuan Shu cavalry with Huang Xu, Ma Chao and Liang Gang!

……

At this time, Yuan Shao had already occupied the entire territory of Xihe County, Shangdang County and Taiyuan County, and Yuan Shao had already won half of the entire state!

On this day, when Yuan Shao was complacent, Guo Tu hurriedly came and hurriedly told Yuan Shao: "Lord, my subordinates have found out where Cen Bi is!" On the same day, Cen Bi was defeated and led a part of the elite south to cross the Yellow River to join Liu Bei!

Moreover, Liu Bei accepted Cen Bi's refuge, and still ordered Cen Bi to be the Taishou of Xihe County! In this way, Liu Bei will have an excuse to invade Xihe County in the future! ”

Yuan Shao was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered Guo Tu to call a group of advisers over to discuss the matter! Frustration and judgment are of course on the list!

After listening to Guo Tu's description of this matter, he immediately went out to admonish Yuan Shao: "Lord, Liu Bei is not an ordinary prince, with the strength of the lord at this time, it is not appropriate for the lord to be overly pursued for this matter, and when the strength of the lord surpasses Liu Bei in the future, the lord can use this matter as an excuse to attack Liu Bei!" Therefore, Cen Bi's investment in Liu Bei is also good for the lord! It's just a matter of how the lord treats it! ”

First of all, the lord can send a letter to Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to return Cen Bi, Liu Bei will naturally not agree, so the lord can legitimately garrison troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, so that Liu Bei can be guarded against;

Secondly, at present, there is a trend of union of the six counties in the north of the state, and the north bank of the Yellow River is conducive to confusing the six counties in the north of the state, so it is convenient for the lord to go north! The judge added!!

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he followed the words of the two, and then wrote to Liu Bei!

At the same time, Yuan Shao reorganized soldiers and horses in Xihe County, Shangdang County and Taiyuan County, with a total of 150,000 soldiers. An army of 50,000 led by Zhang He and Dian Wei was stationed in Taiyuan County; Gao Lan ordered 20,000 soldiers to be stationed in Shangdang, and Yuan Shaoqin led an army of 80,000 to garrison Xihe County, and it was not a problem to practice at night!
