In June, the news of the Xianbei people's withdrawal spread, and the people of the world naturally had a heated discussion, but this heat did not last for a few days. On the one hand, it is naturally because of Li Yi's strength and record against the Hu people, and he is also playing a defensive battle, all kinds of reasons add up, so that people in the world are very optimistic that Li Yi can win.

On the other hand, it is because the eyes of the people of the world are more focused on Yuzhou at this time. Because here, there is an incomparably tragic battle going on, although the number of participants is not as good as the battlefield in Chang'an, but the impact on the situation in the world is not inferior to that side.

However, although it is said to be tragic, strictly speaking, this war is completely one-sided. Emperor Chen Yuan Shu faced the attack of Liu Bei, the king of Qi and Liu Biao, the king of Chu, although he wisely chose to hold on, but he still lost most of Yuzhou in less than two months.

In the west, the 80,000-strong army of Liu Biao, the king of Chu, took advantage of Yingchuan County under the rule of Cao Cao, the Duke of Zheng, and swept all the way east to the western cities of Runan County. Now, it is surrounded by the public opinion group of Runan County.

In the east, the 90,000-strong army of Liu Bei, the king of Qi, was even more unstoppable, especially Tai Shici, who was the vanguard army, took six cities in twenty days, and then captured Xiangcheng, the important town of Peiguo, the day before Liu Bei arrived.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xiangcheng.

When Xun Di, who was guarding Xiangcheng, was brought up, Liu Bei quickly stepped forward to loosen his ties, and at the same time said apologetically with a remorseful expression, "Bei was negligent, but he made Mr. Gongfu suffer." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi doesn't have to be like this, Fei is just a prisoner of the lower ranks, I just hope that His Royal Highness the King of Qi can give Fei a happy ......," Xun Di said in a deep voice with a low expression.

"Sir, why do you say that?! Nowadays, anti-thieves are in turmoil and rebellious ministers are rampant, resulting in chaos in the world and people living in poverty, and it is precisely when Mr. and other great talents need to come forward to stabilize the world! With his own luck and the help of many talents, he sat in this position today. Every time I think about it, I always feel uneasy, if I can get help from Mr. ......" Liu Bei said with Xun Di's hand in his hand.

"This ...... The sinner follows ...... plotted against usurpation, and had already committed the great crime of punishing the nine clans......" Xun Di obviously didn't expect Liu Bei to say this, but for a while, he was embarrassed and insisted on begging for death. Or...... His desire to die was not so strong.

And hearing Xun Di's words, Liu Bei couldn't guess what he meant, and hurriedly smiled, "Mr. said that he was joking, Mr. Yuan Highway used to be the only one because he was the queen of the Yuan family who was full of loyalty and righteousness in the fourth world." But now that he has gone astray and cannot be recovered, why should Mr. die for him? And hasn't the gentleman ever heard that a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to do things? ”

"This ...... This ......" Xun Di heard this, and seemed to not know what to do for a while. And at this moment, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others on the side got up to persuade, and after a long while, they finally made Xun Di nod and agree.

"My subordinates will definitely do their best for His Highness in the future to help His Highness pacify the world and help the Han Dynasty!" Xun Di said a little excitedly, his face flushed, but he didn't know whether he was excited or ashamed.

At the same time, he leaned over and was about to bow down in front of Liu Bei, but how could Liu Bei let him kneel? As soon as he grabbed it, he held Xun Di up, "Mr. is willing to help, it is a blessing to be prepared, and the luck of all the people!" You deserve to be prepared! As he spoke, Liu Bei made a gesture and prepared to bow down.

However, obviously, it is impossible for Xun Di to let Liu Bei bow down, otherwise, let alone others, Xun Di himself can go straight to the outer city wall from here and jump directly. With both hands, he easily stopped Liu Bei's movements, "Your Highness, is this going to torment your subordinates?" Xun Di said in a trembling tone.

After some politeness, Liu Bei introduced Xun Di to the crowd again, and then pulled Xun Di and prepared to let him sit beside him. However, in this regard, Xun Di naturally didn't dare to do anything, shirked for a while, and finally chose to sit next to Zhang Zhao.

Then, after Liu Bei said some righteous Ling Ran's words, he got up again and walked to Tai Shici on the side, patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Haha, Ziyi's martial arts, even if it is compared to Jia Junwen, the general under the command of Emperor Guangwu, it is not inferior at all." With Ziyi helping each other, why worry about the injustice of the world and the unhappiness of the Han family!! ”

"His Royal Highness has a good reputation, and it is an honor for his subordinates to share his worries for His Highness!" When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he immediately responded excitedly and loudly.

"Haha~" Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and then walked in front of Zhang Zhao and said with a smile, "Mr. Zibu, in the past, I failed to discover Mr. Zibu's talent in the first place, so that Mr. Zibu was dusted for two years, and I hope Mr. Zibu is not ......"

"Your Highness is serious." Zhang Zhao replied respectfully, but although his tone was calm, there was still a trace of excitement hidden in his eyes.

is the so-called acquisition of literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, whether it is a person who studies and practices martial arts in the world, who does not want to work for a master who values himself? Obviously, now in Zhang Zhao's eyes, Liu Bei is such a master.

"Uncle Zhi, well done, I won't let your talent be buried!" Liu Bei then patted Chen Zhi's shoulder and smiled.

Of course, Liu Bei did not just praise the three of Tai Shici, and all the others followed the expedition, and all the people who made military exploits on this expedition were all praised by Liu Bei. I have to say that Liu Bei does have a unique talent in praising people, and after a round, not only did he repeat a sentence, but even said that everyone was smiling and happy.

Immediately, Liu Bei held a simple cocktail party, not only to celebrate everyone's achievements, but also to welcome Xun Di to join. Just as he had passed the three rounds of drinking, suddenly a soldier hurried over and whispered to Jian Yong on the side. Immediately, I saw Jian Yong walking up to Liu Bei's side with a somewhat ugly face and muttering.

Looking at everyone's gaze, Liu Bei's face did not change at all, and he was still full of smiles, or rather, the smile on his face became even worse. "Good news, everyone! Chen Guo, Liang Guo, and Lu Guo have fallen to Zheng Gong! This also means that Zheng Gong has recovered a little and is ready to join the ranks of the crusade against the puppet emperor! Liu Bei raised his glass and smiled at everyone.

It's just that after listening to Liu Bei's words, everyone didn't hear any response, they looked at Liu Bei with different expressions, but they didn't know what they were thinking.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang, who was sitting next to Liu Bei, raised his glass and said with a smile, "In this way, the road to the pacification of the world and the support of the Han family is getting closer and closer~ Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my great Han ......"

Hearing this, Jian Yong quickly raised his glass and echoed, seeing the words of the two, and then looking at Liu Bei's smiling expression, everyone finally reacted and raised their glasses to celebrate.

After a long time, everyone dispersed, but Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Zhuge Liang stayed.

At this time, the smile on Liu Bei's face finally disappeared, and after glancing at the three of them, Liu Bei said in a low tone, "What does Gong Zheng mean this time?" If it was planned to crusade against the puppet emperor Yuan Shu together, then why didn't you even say hello? ”

"Father, the son thinks that Gong Zheng has only one plan for this action, and that is to prepare for the future!" Zhuge Liang said respectfully when he heard this.

"I'm afraid that's true!" Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "It seems that after so many years, Zheng Gong also has some bad thoughts in his heart...... Alas! It's all Zhang Ning's demon woman......"

"Your Royal Highness, although Zhang Ning's demon woman was crowned a prince and established the Taiping Kingdom, it did attract many people with obvious ambitions. But when it comes down to the source, they themselves have bad intentions......" Jian Yong said lightly.

"Exactly!" Mi Zhu opened his mouth and agreed.

"Alas, since this is the case, then send an order down and strengthen the defense of the border with the territory of the Duke of Zheng." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again, "I'm afraid that the Duke of Yan in Jizhou can't believe it anymore, and now the Duke of Zheng in Yanzhou is the same......"

Hearing this, the three of them didn't say much, because this was not the time for them to speak. However, Liu Bei didn't seem to plan to continue to sigh anything. Therefore, he quickly sorted out his mood and discussed many matters with the three of them.

On the other side, Chen Liucheng, Chenliu County, Yanzhou.

"Father, is it really good to do this?" A young man in his early twenties asked respectfully, with a hint of concern in his tone.

"Oh? Can't the son see why the father did this? Or do you knowingly ask? Hearing this, Cao Cao took his gaze back from the map in front of him, looked up at Cao Ang who was on the side, and replied with a smile.

Seeing Cao Cao's playful gaze, Cao Ang's face couldn't help but turn red, but he still replied quickly, "The child does understand the reason why his father did this, but the child thinks that it will be better to send someone to inform the King of Qi and the King of Chu......"

"In that case, how do you think Yan Gong's side will react?" Cao Cao chuckled when he heard this.

"This ......" Cao Ang's lips moved when he heard this, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

"Alas, Zixuan, you are very satisfied with your treatment of people and things, but for this kind of big thing, it is still too shallow." Cao Cao sighed lightly when he saw this.

"The child knows his mistake, he will definitely ...... in the future" Cao Ang hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake when he heard this, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Cao.

"Haha, you don't have to be like this, in my early years, I was even worse than you!" Cao Cao laughed, but as the laughter disappeared, it was replaced by a trace of nostalgia and sadness, "My father is forty-two this year, but he has made wrong decisions in many major matters in this half of his life. In the past, he impulsively chose to pursue Dong Zhuo, but suffered a big defeat. despised the yellow scarf, and as a result, Yuncheng was broken. I trusted the public station too much, and I almost lost the Yanzhou ......"

"Father......" Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips.

"I've made too many bad decisions in my life, and I'm sure they will continue to happen. However, I hope you don't ...... like your father," Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang and smiled.

"Please rest assured that when the child makes any decisions in the future, he will definitely think twice." Cao Ang hurriedly replied when he heard this.

"Well, when it's okay, it will be of great benefit to you to study more of Kang's deeds." Cao Cao nodded and said, as he spoke, he suddenly sighed, "In this world, Zikang is the only person I Cao Mengde has to obey and admire!" Every step he took was extremely steady, as if no one or anything could stop him......"

Subsequently, Cao Cao seemed to enter the memory mode, and kept talking about Li Yi. In this regard, Cao Ang just listened respectfully, but looking at his expression, there was no impatience. On the contrary, his expression was still very serious, maybe he was already looking for something he could learn from Li Yi's deeds according to what Cao Cao said just now?

On the other side, Shouchun, Jiujiang County, Yangzhou.

"Rubbish! It's all a bunch of rubbish! Yuan Shu scolded, he couldn't help but be angry, after all, not only did he lose most of the territory of Yuzhou, but even his cousin Yuan Yin was killed.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yuan led the army to support the general!" Seeing this, Ji Ling said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, Taiwei Yang Hong opened his mouth to object, "The minister is against it!" Now the enemy is attacking too fiercely, and Cao Cao seems to have plans to send troops. In this way, even if our army sends troops to support, I am afraid that it may not be able to block the joint attack of the three families. ”

"What Gongguang Gong said is extremely true, besides, Jiangxia still has tens of thousands of troops of Huang Zu, if our army sends too many troops to Runan to support, I am afraid that that there will also take the opportunity to attack Lujiang......" Situ Yanxiang echoed.

"What then?! Do you want to watch the enemy take Runan?! Yuan Shu asked anxiously and loudly.

"This ......" Hearing this, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong glanced at each other, and they both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu's anger became even stronger, but he had to endure it, because he also knew that he could be angry at this time, but he must not lose his mind.

At this moment, a soldier rushed in, "Your Majesty, a letter from His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”

"Oh? The Epistle of Birfürth? Hurry up! Yuan Shu hurriedly said when he heard this, but this is an excellent step, and Yuan Shu naturally won't miss it.

took the letter and read it quickly, and without looking at it twice, Yuan Shu's expression began to soften. "Sure enough! In the end, my son Bo Fu can be relied on! In such a short period of time, he is already about to take the entire Jiangdong! ”

Yuan Shu said as he looked down. However, it didn't take long for Yuan Shu's expression to become gloomy again, and his whole face suddenly turned red, looking really scary.

Seeing this, Yang Hong and the others looked at each other, wanting to ask but not daring to ask. But fortunately, Yuan Shu did not hold everyone's questions for too long.

"Humph! Gong Jin, this kid, actually raised the enemy's morale so much, destroyed his own prestige, and even wrote to me to give up the north of the Yangtze River and lead the army to retreat to Yuzhang?! Yuan Shu said angrily, if Zhou Yu was not his righteous son, and he was very favored, I am afraid that Yuan Shu would have been directly punished.

However, just when Yuan Shu was secretly unhappy, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong below glanced at each other again, and then said respectfully, "The ministers think that His Royal Highness King Yue's words are not unreasonable. ”
