Outside the city of Xuchang, more than 30 miles away, the army camped.

In the military tent, Liu Bei leaned in front of the map, but he didn't know the next destination.

At the court meeting, Cao Cao thought about it left and right, and with the help of some ministers, he finally agreed that Liu Bei on the right would lead his troops to Yuan Shu.

After the dispersal of the dynasty in the afternoon, Liu Bei took the military talisman and the letter of appointment, went to the camp in the south of Xuchang City to light up 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then regardless of the late day, he hurriedly hurried the horse and whipped south, until nightfall, and then camped more than 30 miles away for the night.

Those who rush to send troops may change later.

Liu Bei was worried, in case Cao Cao came back to his senses, he was afraid that he Liu Bei would have to stay in Xuchang City.

Now, having finally escaped from the cage of Xuchang, Liu Bei is relaxed.

It's just that Liu Bei hesitated about the next line.

At the beginning, Mr. Kong Ming said that when he Liu Bei was trapped in Xuchang, he could get two things, one was to obtain the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the other was to obtain the secret edict of the Son of Heaven. Now, these two things have been done, and he has also found an opportunity to escape from Xuchang City.

Next, according to Mr. Kong Ming's arrangement, he Liu Bei should go directly to Yuan Shao, Hebei.

Or lead troops to serve, or just a few of them go to serve, or they can do it.

It's not to participate in the decisive battle of Yuan Cao, but mainly to see who defeated Yuan Shao in this decisive battle.

Yes, Liu Bei was already half sure at this time that Yuan Shao might be defeated.

Several things that Mr. Kong Ming said have basically been fulfilled now.

He said that Gongsun Chan would be defeated, wouldn't Gongsun Chan die?

He said that there must be a decisive battle between Yuan and Cao, and now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are really holding back the signs of fighting.

He said that when Yuan Cao fought a decisive battle, Yuan Shao would be defeated, and Yuan Shao might really be defeated, right?

It's just that Liu Bei didn't want to go to Yuan Shao at this time.

Even if he pretended to take refuge, Liu Bei didn't want to go.

With 30,000 troops in hand, he Liu Bei can go anywhere in the world, so why bother to go to serve Yuan Shao?

As for interviewing the masterminds behind the decisive battle of Yuan Cao, when the war ends, there will always be clues, right?

……

"Big brother, but hesitating?"

In front of the map, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were also there, watching the eldest brother looking around on the map, Guan Yu asked.

"Not bad!" Liu Bei put down the oil lamp and said, "This time, Yuan Shu must be extinguished." ”

"But, what about after Yuan Shu is destroyed, where should we go?"

According to Liu Bei's original intention, after destroying Yuan Shu, why not take advantage of the situation to grab a piece of land and continue to fight against Cao Cao?

At this time, Zhao Zilong arched his hand and said: "My lord, Mr. Kong Ming said at the beginning, why don't we directly take the army to Yuan Shao?" ”

"In this way, the Cao thief's army will also be reduced by 30,000!"

In Zhao Yun's mind, the few things that Mr. Kong Ming said at the beginning were fulfilled one by one, and now he only needs to continue to follow Mr. Kong Ming's arrangement. Go to Hebei to defect to Yuan Shao, wait for Yuan Cao's decisive battle, and then go to Longzhong to ask Mr. Kong Ming to go out of the mountain.

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said with a smile: "Zilong's words are wrong! ”

"Now, we have an army of 30,000 in hand, even if we turn around and attack Xuchang immediately, we can scare Cao Cao's fight, the world can go to get it, why go to Hebei to send people under the fence?"

"Kong Ming's words, scholars' opinions."

"According to what I mean, big brother, after we destroyed Yuan Shu, we directly robbed Xuzhou. Then, let's wait for Cao Cao's decisive battle in Xuzhou. Now, Yuan Shao's troops are flourishing in Hebei, and we are henchmen in Xuzhou, see how he Cao Cao moves his troops! ”

Zhang Fei echoed: "What the second brother said is extremely true. ”

"Big brother, we have a foundation in Xuzhou!"

Two to one, not to mention, Liu Bei didn't think so.

So, Liu Bei said: "Okay, let's take Xuzhou!" ”

"After taking Xuzhou, we will send someone to Longzhong and invite Mr. Kong Ming to come out of the mountain to help."

Today, Liu Bei has not experienced many setbacks in history, so he has not thought of the importance of a mastermind. In his mind, it was already a courtesy to send a general to invite Mr. Kong Ming, so why should he Liu Bei go in person?

Besides, when the time comes, won't he Uncle Liu Huang still have to defend Xuzhou?

……

The ideas are very full, but the reality must be very skinny.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, including Zhao Yun, didn't think that the 30,000 troops they are leading now are all Cao Army, and they are all recruits, and the deputy generals Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao who are in charge of the army are not fuel-efficient lamps

Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao are just that, and they can be relieved of their military power by design, but will the 30,000 Cao Army recruits listen to them?

Use Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to fight against Cao Cao, it is enough to choke when defending the city, and it will be even more of a joke if you go out of the city for a decisive battle!

……

In the evening of the next day, Xihua County left, Zhoukou.

As soon as the army marched through Zhoukou, Zhang Fei flew to report after the break, and about ten miles behind, there was a large stream of dust and smoke, and it was suspected that Cao Cao's chasing soldiers were coming. When Liu Bei heard this, he looked back, and sure enough, there was a large puff of dust and smoke, coming straight to Zhoukou.

"Cao Cao's pursuers came quite quickly!" Liu Bei knew it in his heart.

looked left and right, although the army was led by Lu Zhao and Zhu Ling, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun still divided their troops by 5,000.

"Zilong, you go to the Chinese army, watch Lu Zhao and Zhu Ling, and make sure that the two of them don't dare to act rashly!"

Liu Bei assigned to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Zilong's martial arts, Liu Bei is well aware, let him get to Lu Zhao and Zhu Ling's side, and he can hold these two hostage. In this way, the whole army will not dare to act rashly. Zhao Yun understood, and with only a few personal soldiers, he quickly controlled Lu Zhao and Zhu Ling. Even, when these two lieutenants were controlled, the whole army did not know what was happening.

"Yun Chang, set up a formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Although the whole army is under control, it is only under control, and if you want them to fight reflexively, it will definitely not work.

Fortunately, the 5,000 troops under their control barely laid a position to meet the enemy, and it was no problem.

Guan Yu received the order and went down to arrange a formation to meet the enemy, and at this time, the chasing soldiers were also from far and near.

I saw that hundreds of iron horsemen, led by two tiger generals, quickly killed in front of them.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that there were only five or six hundred chasing soldiers.

"General Wenyuan, General Xu Chu, why did you two bring troops here?"

Under Zhang Fei's escort, Liu Bei walked forward more than ten steps and asked. Of course, this is also a pretense of confusion.

Zhang Liao raised his knife and arched his hand: "I have come to chase Uncle Liu's court, and the court has another appointment." ”

Liu Bei smiled: "I am under the will of the imperial court, and now that I have led the soldiers, I will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted." ”

"The two generals went back and told Cao Sikong that Liu Bei would definitely not fail the court and Cao Sikong!"

"Big-eared thief, how dare you disobey the orders of the lord?"

Xu Chu raised his knife, shouted, and prepared to rush to kill directly. He didn't care whether five or six hundred horsemen could defeat it, he only knew that the task given to him by the main bus was to take Liu Bei to Xuchang; Now, Liu Bei actually didn't listen to the lord's orders, so he could only fight.

Zhang Fei shouted: "If you want to fight, how can I, Zhang Fei, shoot you?" ”

Saying that, Zhang Fei was also ready to shoot out.

"Winged, and slow,"

"General Xu, wait!"

Liu Bei and Zhang Liao stopped drinking almost at the same time.
