In Linzi City, Qingzhou, in the state pastor's mansion, Liu Bei sat on the main seat, and in front of him were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Yan Gang, Shan Jing, Sun Qian, Guan Jing and other civil and military personnel.

Yuan Shao gathered 100,000 troops in Jizhou, intending to attack Qingzhou, such a big momentum naturally could not hide from Liu Bei, or Yuan Shao did not want to hide from Liu Bei, what Yuan Shao wanted to do was to crush Liu Bei with a large army and defeat Liu Bei in a dignified manner, so as to show the world the strength of Yuan Shao's northern overlord.

Liu Bei looked worried, looked at the people in front of him, and said: "This Yuan Shao's overall situation is attacking, what should we do, the 100,000 army is approaching, and my Qingzhou is in danger." ”

As soon as Liu Bei's voice fell, Zhang Fei said loudly: "Big brother, what is there to worry about, although Yuan Shao's strength is strong, but we are not weak, I don't believe that Yuan Shao's 100,000 people can take my Qingzhou land." ”

Liu Bei was not as confident as Zhang Fei, looked around left and right, and finally focused on Guan Jing and Sun Gan, the others were all military generals, and it was okay to let them march and fight, but if they wanted to give advice, Zhao Yun still had some potential in this area, and the others were not very good.

Sun Qian and Guan Jing also knew that the two of them were the most relied on strategists under Liu Bei today, but the two of them could only be regarded as second-rate at most in their ability to tell the truth and give advice, and they couldn't squeeze into the first-class ranks at all.

Liu Bei also felt a headache because of this, this Yuan Shao's army was approaching Qingzhou, and it was impossible to make Liu Bei surrender. Whether it is Liu Bei's identity at this time or Liu Bei's heart now, he is not allowed to surrender. So, you can only fight.

However, if you want to fight, you can't rush forward to fight recklessly. Last time, Liu Bei and Gongsun Chan joined forces to attack Jizhou, but the result was because of Yuan Shao's strategy, which led to a big defeat in the end, and even Gongsun Chan folded in Jizhou, which also made Liu Bei become a little cautious.

Although Liu Bei now occupies Qingzhou, he can barely pull out an army of 100,000, but Liu Bei knows that Yuan Shao's strength is stronger than himself now, if there is no good strategy, this Qingzhou is not easy to defend.

Looking at the people in front of him, Liu Bei shook his head, waved his hand, and let these people go down, but Liu Bei also ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, and Zhao Yun to gather their troops and horses, if there is really no strategy to retreat from the enemy, then Liu Bei doesn't mind a hard battle with that Yuan Shao.

Now, although Yuan Shao's overall strength is stronger than Liu Bei, Liu Bei knows very well that Yuan Shao cannot set his sights on himself, and the 100,000 army in this news is estimated to be the limit that Yuan Shao can take out to deal with himself. With an army of 100,000, Liu Bei estimated that if he was a battalion step by step, he should be able to hold Qingzhou, but the loss might be a little bigger, which would slow down his development.

And an hour after Sun Gan, Guan Jing and others left, the waiter outside the door suddenly came to report, saying that Sun Qian was visiting.

When Liu Bei saw Sun Gan again, he found that Sun Gan's face was full of joy at this time, and he couldn't help but make Liu Bei curious, this Qingzhou has encountered a crisis, but Sun Gan showed joy at this time, could it be that he thought of some clever plan?

"Gongyou, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Qian saluted Liu Bei respectfully, and then said: "Lord, when my subordinates just left, I met an old friend on the road, this person is a disciple of the old master Yue and a person from the school palace, and the most important thing is that this person came to join the lord with the strategy of retreating from the enemy. ”

"The person from the Jixia Academy, or the disciple of the old master? Who is this person? Liu Bei asked eagerly when he heard this.

Sun Qian also knew that Liu Bei had been worried about Yuan Shao's attack on Qingzhou during this time, and at this moment, he was naturally overjoyed to hear that someone from Jixia School Palace had come to vote.

"Gongyou, quickly invite him in, no, I'll invite him personally."

Liu Bei didn't care about any demeanor at this time, and asked Sun Gan to lead the way in front, and he wanted to meet this person from the Jixia School Palace in person. Outside the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, Meng Fang looked at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and there was a strange light flashing in his eyes.

At this time, although Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops in Jizhou were approaching Qingzhou, but under Meng Fang's secret technique of looking at qi, Liu Bei's qi not only did not decline, but had a tendency to increase, indicating that Liu Bei should not have any problems with Yuan Shao this time, even if he Meng Fang did not come, Liu Bei would have a chance to turn the danger into a disaster.

However, this theory of fate is too mysterious, and even Old Master Yue has not studied it thoroughly, let alone Meng Fang, Meng Fang did not dare to say that what he saw was right at this time.

And when he saw Sun Gan again, Meng Fang saw the person next to Sun Gan, and when he saw Liu Bei's face clearly, Meng Fang didn't know what to say. No matter what Liu Bei said, he was also a prince, but now he came to greet him in person, which had to make Meng Fang feel excited.

When Liu Bei welcomed Meng Fang into the mansion, he had a lot of respect for Meng Fang between words, which made Meng Fang very satisfied, and he did not regret his choice. Although he didn't know how the other princes would treat his defection, just looking at the current Liu Bei, Meng Fang felt that it was worth coming to Zi.

There are three disciples under the old master Yue, Li Ye took refuge with Yuan Yao, Yue Xi also went to Cao Cao's command, and although Meng Fang chose the lord at this moment, he chose Liu Bei.

After a pleasantry, Liu Bei also asked directly: "Mr. Meng, I heard Gongyou say that you have a plan to retreat from the enemy, I don't know if you can teach me?" ”

Meng Fang also smiled at this moment, and said: "Xuande Gong, although Yuan Shao led an army of 100,000 to approach Qingzhou, but he Yuan Shao around Jizhou is not the only enemy of Xuande Gong, and Lu Bu of Jizhou, Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and Cao Cao of Yanzhou are not very good relations with Yuan Shao, and among these three, Lu Bu and Gongsun Du will inevitably use troops in Jizhou once they know that Yuan Shao and Jizhou are empty, and this is the opportunity for Xuande Gong." ”

Liu Bei felt that he seemed to have caught something, but it was not particularly clear, and in the end he could only look at Meng Fang, hoping that Meng Fang could solve his doubts.

Meng Fang said: "Duke Xuande can send an envoy to Liaodong and the second brother of Bingzhou, contact Gongsun Du and Lu Bu, and let them send troops to disturb Yuan Shao's rear. ”

Listening to Meng Fang's words, Liu Bei's eyes lit up. Indeed, with the strength of Liu Bei alone, it is indeed a bit difficult to resist Yuan Shao's army, but if Lu Bu and Gongsun Du are willing to send troops, then the pressure that Liu Bei needs to face will be greatly reduced.
