Guan Yu said, "It's a matter of confidentiality, it can't be casually let outsiders know, but my brother is still willing to trust you, as soon as Zhao Yun is in trouble, you won't ignore it, just rely on your desperate use of troops against Guangling, it is enough to prove that General Sun is righteous and affectionate, if you want to force Cao Cao to withdraw from the army, what else can make Cao Cao panic more than the loss of Xu Du, and I hope General Sun will consider it carefully." ”

Let Guan Yu send an envoy to see Sun Ce, Liu Bei was thoughtful, because Guan Yu was loyal to the Han family, and when Cao Cao Xu Tian was hunting, he was extremely rude to the Han Emperor, Guan Yu was so angry that he almost killed Cao Cao with a knife.

Guan Yu was very worried about the situation of Emperor Han, and he didn't want to rescue Emperor Han from Xudu all the time.

In addition, the matter of the edict cannot be easily known by outsiders, and once this secret is known, all those who participate in it will have to raid their homes and destroy their homes, and they will die without a place to be buried.

As long as he told Sun Ce this secret, Sun Ce would definitely believe in Liu Bei's sincerity.

Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu also frowned and fell into deep thought.

Guan Yu persuaded, "General Sun, the matter of the edict is very important, although my brother wrote his name on it, and is willing to help them and act as foreign aid when they get into trouble, but our strength is really limited, this time there is no room for loss, even if we put our lives on the line, but if we can't rescue Your Majesty from Xudu, then our death still has no meaning, now we can only ask for help from you, the Sun family has been loyal to the martyrs for generations, before Sun Jian led the army to defeat Yuan Shu, the world praised it, General Sun inherited his father's will, and naturally knew the severity, What's more, Zhao Yun, like you, is also committed to supporting the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yun is now dragging Cao Cao's troops, and with Dong Cheng's cooperation from within, I believe that as long as General Sun sends troops, this matter will be successful. ”

"Is what you're saying true or false?" Sun Ce still had some concerns in his heart.

Fighting Xudu and attacking Guangling are two completely different things, Guangling is under Sun Ce's nose, whether he wins or loses, he can easily withdraw, but if he goes to Xudu, it is equivalent to going deep alone, the situation is unfavorable, he was ambushed by Cao Cao's army, and he wanted to get out of Cao Cao's territory, but it was not so simple.

"General Sun is scared?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.

"I'm afraid?" Sun Ce glared at him, "There is nothing I am afraid of in this world, you said that Liu Bei participated in the edict of the cloth belt, this is just your words, whether it is true or not, how do I know." ”

Guan Yu's face turned cold: "Do you think I will joke with you about this kind of thing?" As soon as you try this matter, you can only tell Cao Cao's subordinates what I just told you, send someone to Xu Du, and they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, but if you do this, you will also bear a notoriety that can never be washed away, because you betrayed the Han family and betrayed those loyal people who were willing to risk their lives to save the Han family. ”

Guan Yu looked at Sun Ce coldly, his eyes were like lightning, exuding amazing power.

Sun Ce hesitated, and Zhou Yu couldn't make up his mind for a while, although the method was good, it was too risky after all.

After thinking for a while, Sun Ce clenched his fists hard, "Okay, for my eldest brother, for the sake of the Han family, I will believe you once." ”

Seeing that Sun Ce agreed to send troops, Guan Yu was greatly excited, immediately stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed deeply to Sun Ce, "General Sun can understand the righteousness, Guan is deeply grateful." ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Guan Yu, as far as he knew, Guan Yu had always been arrogant and easily refused to bow to others, and he could be so honest at this time, which showed that the edict was not nonsense.

Next, Guan Yu told Sun Ce Dong Cheng's specific plan, "It should be these few days, Dong Cheng and they will act, without further ado, I hope General Sun will send troops quickly." ”

"Okay." Sun Ce nodded vigorously.

When Guan Yu returned to Guangling, Liu Bei had been waiting for a long time, and when Guan Yu arrived, Liu Bei hurriedly stood up, "Second brother, how is it?" ”

"Sun Ce has already agreed."

"Great."

Liu Bei clenched his fists excitedly, Guan Yu thought that Liu Bei was happy for Emperor Han, but who knew that Liu Bei was happy for his plan.

First of all, Sun Ce will not continue to attack Guangling, nor will he fight Xuzhou's idea again, which is tantamount to helping Liu Bei.

If Sun Ce continued to attack Guangling, Liu Bei would be in a dilemma, Cao Cao asked him to support Chen Deng, if Sun Ce did not stop fighting, Liu Bei would also be unlucky, with his little strength, he would not be able to stop Sun Ce at all.

Of course, Liu Bei had a choice, ignoring Cao Cao's orders and taking the opportunity to seize Xuzhou.

But if he does this, not only will he have to deal with Chen Deng and Che Zhou, Sun Ce will still pose a threat to Xuzhou, and once Liu Bei rebels, Xuzhou will fall into chaos, which is equivalent to giving up Xuzhou to Sun Ce.

But Sun Ce now agreed to a truce and turned his forces to Xudu, so Liu Bei could calmly lay out and gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou step by step, and he also relieved Chen Deng of the siege this time, which was also convenient for him to use for him.

Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to tell Sun Ce that he was short of troops and could not guarantee that he would be able to rescue Emperor Han, in fact, Liu Bei did not dare to send troops by himself, in case Emperor Han was rescued, he did not know how to treat Liu Xie in the future. So he simply gave this opportunity to Sun Ce.

If Sun Ce's things go well and Liu Xie is rescued, Liu Bei's credit will naturally be indispensable, and he can also throw the hot potato of Emperor Han to Sun Ce.

If things don't go well with Sun Ce, Liu Bei still doesn't have any losses, and he can still take Xuzhou into his hands, and Sun Ce and Cao Cao's people will fight, and it will inevitably be a vicious battle, which can weaken the strength of the two strong neighbors, which is not harmful to Liu Bei as long as it is good.

No matter what, Liu Bei is sure to make a profit.

The experience of selling straw sandals in the early years made Liu Bei's experienced mind very flexible, and the business was handy and perfect.

…………

Yecheng, Jizhou.

Outside the city, the armor was like a mountain, and the air was filled with a tense and murderous atmosphere.

Zhang Fang led 50,000 Montenegrin troops, densely packed, surrounded layer by layer, and blocked the water in the siege of Yecheng, trapped like an iron bucket.

The Yuan soldiers defending the city were only 5,000 people, and the army besieged the city, and the defenders were all restless and panicked.

It stands to reason that relying on the strong city, it is not so easy for Zhang Fang to kill in, but no one expected that no less than three hundred elite dead soldiers suddenly appeared in Xu You's mansion, Xu You led them to raid the south gate, and it didn't take long to open the city gate.

The city gate opened, Zhang Fang's face showed irrepressible pride, he raised the spear in his hand, and gave an order, from the south gate into the city, someone secretly handed him a list that had been prepared a long time ago, Zhang Fang according to the name on the list, burned and looted in the city, and launched a crazy bloodbath.
