As soon as Zulang fell, the thieves in several counties south of Danyang gradually subsided, and only the Qian family in Chungu, because of its proximity to Jiujiang and the support of Yuan Shu, refused to give in. Sun Ce was furious www.biquge.info attacked Spring Valley, and wiped out the Qian family after the city was broken.

Before Sun Ce came to attack, the Qian family sent a letter of help to Yuan Shu, and until the Qian family was destroyed, they did not see Yuan Shu's army coming to help. Since then, the Danyang clan and Haoqiang have completely seen through Yuan Shu's intentions, and they no longer dare to confront the Sun family.

After this battle, Jiangdong was peaceful, only some mountains, depending on the mountains and dangerous peaks, often came down to plunder, Sun Ce accepted Yu Turn, Zhang Hong's suggestion, and adopted the strategy of soothing or blocking to slowly subdue. Regarding his attitude towards the court, Sun Ce listened to Zhang Zhao's advice and adopted the same attitude as Liu Shi, listening to the tone and not listening to the announcement.

The tributes and taxes of the court were paid on time, and in the event of natural disasters, they were reduced or exempted in the name of the court. Treat Yuzhang County by squeezing the method, and after the three counties are stable and their strength is improved, they will drive Hua Xin away in one fell swoop, peep west into Jingzhou, and avenge their father.

Cao Cao conspired with Liu Bei to exterminate Lü Bu and put Lü Bu to death, the class returned to the dynasty and wanted to bring Liu Bei back to Xu County.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face, and said: "Liu Yuzhou's extermination of Lu Buqi this time is not a small achievement. I wonder if Liu Yuzhou is willing to join me on the pilgrimage to see His Majesty and listen to His Majesty's reward, or stay in Yuzhou as a hegemon? ”

Liu Bei was stunned and was thinking about how to answer.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "In the past, Shang Guogong was fortunate to be recruited by the first emperor because of his superior knowledge, and asked about the genealogy, after being confirmed, the first emperor issued a decree to include the Liu Zhuang Liu family in Zhuoxian County into the royal genealogy, and called the emperor's younger brother after the genealogy, Liu Yuzhou, as the cousin of the Shang Guogong, wants to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, and will not be like Lu Bu, vainly trying to divide one side, split the territory, and be a rebel of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Liu Bei was silent for a while.

Zhang Fei said angrily: "You coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes, monopolized the government, and threatened the Son of Heaven, which is known to the whole world, and now you want to hold my eldest brother hostage in the name of the Son of Heaven?" I, Zhang Fei, were the first to disagree. With that, the spear glared at Cao Cao angrily, and Guan Yu also stepped forward.

The generals who were surrounding Cao Cao were taken aback, and Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward to stand in front of Cao Cao, holding the big knife with both hands.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said, "Liu Yuzhou, what's going on? Are you worried that someone is trying to harm you? You also underestimate me Cao someone! I, Cao Cao, greeted the Son of Heaven, saved the Son of Heaven from hardship, and wanted to declare the loyalty of the Han Dynasty and make heroes all over the world. Shall you ruin my reputation because of you? Besides, I Cao Cao really wants to harm you, how can you stop more than 10,000 people? Even if the three of you are heroes, what about Lu Fengxian? Isn't it still the soul of someone under my rope? That being the case, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not! If you don't listen to the court's orders, I will destroy them! After speaking, he looked at Liu Bei with blazing eyes.

Seeing Cao Cao coming, Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "I, Liu Bei, am originally a relative of the Han family, and it is my Liu Bei's responsibility to maintain the majesty of the Son of Heaven!" Besides, Liu Bei is not worth Cao Situ's hands. If this is the case, isn't it just as Cao Gong said, defiling Cao Gong's hand has fulfilled my name Liu Bei? Let Liu Bei also leave a name in history! ”

Cao Cao stepped forward, Zhang Fei was about to stop him, Liu Bei stopped him with his eyes, Cao Cao grabbed Liu Bei's hand and smiled: "Those who know me!" Xuande Gongya! The two laughed.

Then Cao Cao said: "If Xuande Gong has something to arrange, you can arrange it first, and I am equal here." If there is nothing, how about we return to the court and report to the Son of Heaven? ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "I, Liu Bei, are frank and open, and I have nothing to avoid Cao Situ." In order to guard against Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, a force of more than 10,000 people was formed. Now that he has entered the court with Cao Gong, this part is not needed! But these troops have followed Liu for a few years, and they have to make some arrangements, not to mention that Yuan Shuguo's thieves are still there, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Runan and Chenjun is continuous, so they have to be guarded against, so how about letting these people who are willing to join the army go to Runan and Chenjun respectively? Only bring a hundred guards with them to enter the court for listening. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "This matter is mastered by Xuande Gong, how can I, Cao, not believe in Xuande's loyalty to the court?" ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Big brother! ”

Guan Yu also looked at Liu Bei with his eyes.

Liu Bei shook his hand and said, "The third brother doesn't need to say much, the eldest brother has already made up his mind." It's just that the third brother and the second brother have followed me for so many years, so let's go to the court and enjoy it! No more running and toiling for wars and killings. But this arrangement, let Xianhe do it for you! ”

Jian Yong glanced at Liu Bei and said with a grin: "Big ears!" Then you must not scold me and distribute all these soldiers according to their own wishes! ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said to Cao Cao: "This person is my hair small, he has called me like this since I was a child, and he doesn't care about the number of people, but people do things really well." ”

He turned his head to Jian Yong and said, "You let it go!" You have been with me for so many years, just stay in Yuzhou and do a different job! It's kind of a home. My guard was collected in Yuzhou, and you know him. I'll send you to be a guard! The situation is still unstable, so you should pay more attention to safety when walking outside. Also, let my wife and daughter go back to live at home! Tell them: Rest assured! I made meritorious contributions with Cao Gong, went to the court to receive merit, and was entitled! They will be back soon so that they can live in peace. After speaking, he glanced at Jian Yong meaningfully.

Jian Yong understood in his heart, but instead grinned and said, "Don't worry, big ears!" I am a man who has neither power nor ambition. It's another rotten life, and no one wants to take it. Unless this person is crazy and wants to invite me to drink and let me drink to death. However, this is also what I brought on myself, no strangers! As for my sister-in-law, I will definitely bring your words! ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "You! You! It's up to you! If I drink to death, I must have someone bring me a letter. We've known each other for more than 30 years, and let me go to see you for the last time. ”

He said to Cao Cao again: "Brother Meng De! Let's go! ”

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei deeply, and raised his whip, "Return to the dynasty!" ”

Jian Yong and Chen Zhi stood on the side of the road, watching Cao Cao's army gradually move away, Chen Zhi asked Jian Yong worriedly: "Will it be dangerous for the lord to go to Xudu with Cao Situ this time?" ”

Jian Yong said with a smile: "Brother Xuande has experienced countless dangers, and he can turn danger into relief, and he can still survive this catastrophe this time." In less than three years, Brother Xuande will definitely walk out of Xudu and return to Yuzhou. But we should help him firmly control Yuzhou! Cao Mengde will definitely think of arresting Yuzhou into his hands.

Of course, as long as Yuan Benchu's strength is still there, and he has not completely turned his face with Yuan Benchu, he will not dare to touch Runan, as long as Runan is in hand, he will be helpless. Let's go! The soldiers were streamlined first. This Cao Mengde must have sent someone to hide in the dark and watch? ”

Jian Yong and Chen Zhi streamlined the troops left behind, leaving less than 8,000 of the nearly 20,000 people: 5,000 to Wu Anguo, 3,000 to Zhang Xiang, and 50 people to be led by Chen Zhi to inspect Yuzhou.

As soon as I walked to Rencheng that day, I saw several people on the road in a hurry, one of whom was a little familiar and couldn't remember it for a while. frowned, a smile in his eyes, it turned out to be this person, and immediately shouted: "The person in front of you stops, and you don't say hello when you see the old man?" Is it too contemptuous of me? ”

The few people who were hurrying in front of them were stunned, showing a panicked look, and one of them said secretly: "That's it! If it's a blessing, you don't have to hide, but you can't hide from it. ”

He turned around and saluted Jian Yong and said, "Xingmao, please see Brother Xianhe!" ”

Jian Yong smiled and said: "Don't you dare to let Brother Xu call him a brother, according to his age, Brother Xu will be a few years older." According to the official position, Brother Xu is also higher, Yong is just a Yuzhou don't drive to do it now, and Brother Xu should not be polite. said that just now, just deliberately provoked Brother Xu, so that Brother Xu could stay and meet Jian and talk. Brother Xu was in a hurry, but he went north? ”

"Brother Jian is not knowingly asking? When we were friendly with Liu Yuzhou at the beginning, Xu was also a villager because he and Brother Jian were both border people and had a lot of contacts. Now that he is in trouble, does Brother Jian also want to take advantage of the fire to rob and send Xu to receive the reward? Xu Rong replied a little unhappily.

Jian Yong said: "Is this the kind of person that I, Jian Yong?" Besides, we are villagers, not villagers! I watched Brother Xu walk like this, and it was difficult to go far, so I had the heart to help, so I stopped Brother Xu. Now Cao Cao has taken Liu Yuzhou to Xu County, leaving me here to wait for Yuzhou, if Brother Xu believes in Yong, can you be willing to stay by Yong's side, and when Liu Yuzhou returns, then plan for great things? ”

Xu Rong smiled bitterly: "What qualifications do down-and-out people have to talk about conditions, but they can be content as soon as they settle down." It's just that I didn't expect that heroes such as Liu Yuzhou were also taken to Xudu by Cao Cao. ”

Jian Yong said with a smile: "Liu Yuzhou's ability, although he is in a dangerous place, he will definitely be fine, I am sure of this!" ”
