Chapter 1103: Liu Bei's Withdrawal (I)
When the time was short, the crowd sat still. Liu Bei subconsciously set his eyes on Xu Shu. Xu Shu's face sank, he arched, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, as soon as Tao Gong dies, I am afraid that the power of Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Chen Gongtai." This man has a lot of scheming and should not be underestimated, and he tries his best to believe that the lord is the murderer who sent assassins to kill Tao Gong, I am afraid that this is not as simple as it seems..."
When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly said, "What does Yuan Zhi mean?" ”
"Hmph, don't forget that Chen Gongtai originally belonged to Lu Fengxian, if he has been lurking by Tao Gong's side all these years, just to wait for Lu Fengxian to make a comeback, when the dragon and tiger leap, and then dedicate the land of Xuzhou to it?" As soon as Xu Shu said this, everyone's faces changed drastically.
Zhang Feihuan glared at him and shouted: "I see, no wonder Chen Gongtai wants to splash dirty water on Brother Wang!" Wow, what a cunning traitor, but if this person falls on the third master and me, the third master will definitely want him to try the taste of not being able to survive and not die!! ”
As soon as Zhang Fei's roar fell, many soldiers were indignant and responded one after another. Liu Bei couldn't help but squint his eyes, his expression immediately became solemn, and he said, "Then what should I do now?" ”
Xu Shu's face froze, about Liu Bei's question, since he learned about the accident in Xuzhou, he has been thinking secretly, and then said shockedly: "If Chen Gongtai really wants to dedicate Xuzhou to Lu Bu, then Lu Bu will definitely withdraw his troops to Xuzhou soon." In this way, the crisis in the south of Yanzhou can be alleviated, and Xu Gongming will inevitably rush to the Changfeng River to help his master. And now, I am afraid that our army will also fall into the crisis of attacking from both sides. Zhang Wenyuan and Zhang Junyi are both tiger generals in the world, although the third master has the fierceness of the world, it is okay to deal with one person, if the two of them each lead the army to attack together, I am afraid that they will also be weak. In addition, if Lu Bude's Xuzhou and Qingzhou are empty, they will be available in a moment. And Qingzhou is adjacent to Youzhou, if Lu Bu takes the opportunity to attack Youzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, I still give up the battle of Yanzhou, and take advantage of the fact that there are still many people in Xuzhou who love the lord in their hearts, take Qingzhou first, stabilize Qingzhou, and then fight a decisive battle with Lu Bu! ”
As soon as Xu Shu said this, Liu Bei's face couldn't help but be shocked. At this time, Tian Yu suddenly changed color, and shouted fiercely: "Don't!! ”
saw Tian Yu standing up excitedly. Liu Bei's face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, so he asked, "Doesn't the state have other objections?" ”
"Lord, Yu Dou dares to ask, who is more powerful, Ma Xi or Lu Bu?" Tian Yu bowed his hand and asked in a deep voice.
Liu Bei was obedient and didn't think much about it, so he said: "Ma Xi not only owns the two treasures of Yan and Ji, but also has the courage of ghosts and gods, and is the first person in the world, even Lu Bu was defeated in his hands in the past, and he is also full of talents, such as Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Xu Huang and other generals are all tiger generals in a million, and the internal military strategy also has Wang Lang, Cheng Yu and other generations to support left and right. In comparison, Lu Bu lacks few generals, and the mastermind is only Chen Gongtai, and now he is still under the fence, and he can't be compared with Ma Xi. ”
"In this case, the lord should break the Ma clan with Cao Cao because of his efforts, and after removing it, it is not too late to compete with Lu Bu!" Tian Yu's eyes are bright, he is impressive, and his figure is also loud. When Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help but freeze, as if he was contemplating. However, this time, it was Hetian Yu who sang the opposite stage: "The country makes the public say this wrong. As the appropriate military advisor said, if Lu Bu takes Xuzhou, Youzhou is in danger. We are on the march, and the rear is not protected, how can the soldiers concentrate on fighting? I think it is still in accordance with the construction of the military division, and withdraw and take Qingzhou as soon as possible, at least to obtain a barrier for Youzhou, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong! ”
"Humph!! Qingzhou is empty, if you want to take it down, you can send thousands of people. The lord can order the second master to withdraw his troops from Jizhou and take Qingzhou. The second master is mighty, forgive that Huang Hansheng and don't dare to chase it!! In this way, the lord can devote himself to fighting in Yanzhou!! Tian Yu's eyes were impressive, and when Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised.
"The Ma clan is strong, if I don't get rid of it, I will be trapped in the northern secluded land, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything. If that's the case, it's better to fight with all your strength to get rid of this evil tiger that stands in the way!! Liu Bei secretly shouted in his heart, and after thinking about it, he shouted in shock: "The country makes this statement very much in line with my wishes!" Ma's minions are sharp, if you don't get rid of them as soon as possible, you will inevitably harm the community in the future! ”
As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, Yi nationality could not help but change color. Xu Shu looked calm, but he didn't know what he was thinking. At this moment, someone outside the tent suddenly came to report, saying that Chen Deng and Mi Fang had brought a group of remnants to the tent and were asking to see them outside the tent. When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed out of the tent to greet him. When Liu Bei walked out, he saw Chen Deng, who was personable and handsome on weekdays, but now he was gray-faced, untidy, his helmet was gone, and his cloak was scattered, which was quite wolf. Mi Fang, who was beside her, was even more injured, and was hit by an arrow in her arm. When Mi Fang saw Liu Bei, she immediately burst into tears, knelt down and said, "Uncle Huang, you must be the master for us!" That Cao Bao had no plan and mistrusted traitors, so that tens of thousands of troops were broken by Zhang Junyi with a mere 2,000 troops, and Cao Bao was even beheaded on the spot!! At present, we still have a few brothers who are desperate, and we only hope that we can wait for the transfer under the command of the emperor's uncle, and make meritorious contributions to appease the anger of the old master. ”
Liu Bei and his subordinates listened to Mi Fang's words, and their faces couldn't help but become a little unbearable. Chen Deng had a keen eye, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, what happened in Xuzhou?" ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed lightly, and said with a little loneliness and sadness: "I can't hide it, I just got the news, Tao Gong has lost his life soon, and I won't hide it from you, under the hard work of Chen Gongtai, now almost everyone in Xuzhou thinks that I sent an assassin to assassinate Tao Gong!" ”
As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, Mi Fang, Chen Deng, and the others all changed their complexions. Chen Deng was even more expressionless in an instant, as if he had lost his soul. Mi Fang on the side was also stunned, although he knew that his old master would die soon, but he never thought that his old master would die so suddenly.
Among them, several Xuzhou soldiers couldn't suppress their grief and anger for a while, and one of them shouted: "Whoa, you hypocrite of hypocrisy, my lord loves you so much, and he can't wait to transfer Qing and Xu to you, why do you want to put him to death~!! ”
As soon as these words came out, many Xuzhou soldiers were angry, and their faces were sad and angry, and they rushed towards Liu Bei.
"With me Zhang Yide here, I see who dares to make a time~~!!" At this time, Zhang Fei took a step forward violently, roaring angrily, a terrifying roar, like the roar of a lion and a tiger, and the people around him felt that their ears were ringing, and under the impact of the sound waves, the soul and body seemed to be washed apart.
In the face of such a terrible Zhang Fei, everyone's courage was greatly reduced, and many people were even more frightened to retreat.
Liu Bei also took a step forward and shouted: "I, Liu Xuande, have always been upright and upright, I don't do anything wrong, I just want to help the Han family, do the right way, punish the traitors, level the world, and benefit the people!" ”
only listened to Liu Bei's sonorous and powerful shouting, which shocked people's hearts, and everyone present listened to it, and couldn't help but be frightened by his righteous appearance. At this time, Chen Deng's face turned solemn, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "I believe that Uncle Liu Huang will not do this to the old master!" ”
As soon as Chen Deng's words came out, the remnants of Xuzhou changed color, and then calmed down. Mi Fang seemed to be afraid of being left behind, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Liu Huang is both benevolent and virtuous, he is a virtuous lord, and the old master also appreciated Uncle Liu Huang when he was alive, if it weren't for this, how would he be willing to give up Xuzhou, which he had spent his whole life taking care of, to Uncle Liu Huang." I think this must be Chen Gongtai secretly playing ghosts and slandering Uncle Liuhuang!! In the future, if I see that traitor, I will definitely break him into pieces and avenge the old master~~!! ”
only heard Mi Fang shouting excitedly, and everyone really heard it, so they also believed it and responded one after another. Liu Bei then asked Chen Deng and Mi Fang to enter the account to discuss.
When the time was short, the crowd sat still. Chen Deng's face sank, and he first asked Liu Bei what he was going to do. Liu Bei pondered for a while, but still truthfully said his thoughts. Chen Deng was obedient, shook his head, and arched his hand: "Uncle Huang is taking care of one thing and losing the other!" ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What does Yuanlong mean by this?" ”
Chen Deng was shocked and said in a loud voice: "The Ma family can have today's grandeur because it is often able to unite and fight to the death to overcome the tribulation. Although Ma Xi has a unique ability, he has never been arrogant to his subordinates, on the contrary, he treats him like a brother of flesh and blood, likes to delegate power, let it be played, and often can put everyone in the most suitable position, so that everyone's ability can be brought into full play. For example, Yuan Shao was powerful, had many soldiers, and was like a cloud, but because Yuan Shao was indecisive by nature, he was often unable to be decisive in danger, and he lacked consideration in employing people, and he did whatever he wanted, and his subordinates fought with each other, like a plate of scattered sand, so Ma was able to win more with less, and finally annihilated Yuan Shao's Hebei army and took Jizhou.
But now our Quartet Alliance, with Cao Bao being beheaded, my lord lost his life, and the Xuzhou army was officially destroyed. Looking at Lu Bu's wolf ambitions, he secretly covets Xuzhou, but if Xuzhou is really taken down by him, it will have an impact on the morale of the emperor's uncle and Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army. At that time, it is even inevitable that the two sides of Uncle Huang and Prime Minister Cao Cheng will doubt each other and lose trust. On the other hand, the Ma clan is facing a catastrophe, and the upper and lower levels are working together to resist the enemy, and at that time, with the two armies of the emperor uncle and Cao Cheng, I am afraid that it is not the enemy of the Ma clan! ”
But I listened to Chen Deng's sharp analysis. Xu Shu listened, secretly frightened, and couldn't help but say: "This person's talent is by no means inferior to me!" ”
As soon as Xu Shu's thoughts turned, Chen Deng's eyes turned around, and the two of them looked at each other, it seems that there is really no need for verbal communication between this smart person and a smart person, and he can understand each other's minds with his eyes alone.
