Xuchang City.

The seven generals led the army back, the morale was very low, of course, more unwilling, the army was placed outside Xuchang, the seven generals returned to the court to resume their lives, the son of heaven Liu Xie in front of many civil and military ministers, appeased the seven generals, said some words, and soon retreated.

Cao Cao, who returned to the house, was summoned to the inner room as soon as possible.

"Have you ever seen Mr. on this trip?" Cao Cao asked.

Hearing this, Yu Ban shook his head, clasped his fists and said: "Hanguguan didn't see Mr. You, I heard the news that it seemed that he was attacked in Chang'an, and he was protected by Xu Zisheng and was not allowed to go out." ”

"Attacked?"

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and then said with some relief: "It is normal to propose this method, it is normal to be attacked, there are always people who are unwilling to gamble with their lives." ”

"What did the gentleman come up with in mind?" Yu Ban asked with some surprise.

"Of course, could it be that Xu Zisheng?"

was asked like this, Yu Ban was a little speechless.

"Do you think that should have been done in advance?" Cao Cao stared at Yu Ban and asked.

Suddenly, Yu Ban's expression was overjoyed, and he arched his hand and said, "The lord really wants to let Mr. come back in advance?" It's good that Mr. won't suffer under Xu Zisheng. ”

"It's that simple."

Cao Cao was not as optimistic as Yu Ban, sighed slightly, and Cao Cao, who was tapping on the bookcase, said softly: "According to what Mr. said, he had to stay in Chang'an for the sake of a woman's life, and now he should not have thought of a way to solve this matter, and he will not be able to come back for a while." ”

"What does my lord need me to do?"

"I need you to strengthen the garrison there, you must find someone you can absolutely trust to guard it, the more you get to this time, the more cautious you must be, and you can't take it lightly." Cao Cao commanded.

"No."

Yu Ban responded, and then said: "When I returned, I heard that Yuan Shu led a large army up the river, making dangerous moves, preparing to raid Chang'an, if he succeeds, the pressure on us is not small, do you want to interfere with it?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Cao Cao shook his head, he didn't care much about this matter, and said very casually: "If they don't listen to the persuasion, they will be sent to death, and we can't help it, so don't fall into the well." ”

"But Lu Bu's army can't go back for a while." Yu Ban said with a little doubt.

"This is a bet, the bet is three days, if you can take Chang'an within three days before Lu Bu arrives in Chang'an, then Yuan Shu will win, if you can't take it, the army that goes deep into it will definitely suffer heavy losses, but don't forget, Chang'an also has an abandoned general Linzhou, not to be underestimated." Cao Cao explained.

"I see, it seems that Yuan Shu has gone through this battle, and there is no need to worry about it." Yu Ban said with a smile.

"Whether Yuan Shu can come back alive is still a question."

Cao Cao stood up and said with a sneer: "Fengji, they will definitely take this opportunity to take Jizhou in one fell swoop, from then on, Yuan Shu is like a lost dog, anyone can step on it, and the princes will have one less." ”

"With their prestige, they can still control Jizhou in the short term, and after a long time, there will be chaos, and they can take the opportunity to take it when the time comes." Yu Ban said in a deep voice.

"It's good to know, some things are better to keep in your heart."

"No."

Xuzhou City.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back in a huff, they didn't remember how many times they were rejected, obviously when they arrived at the Zhuge family, they also saw the little Zhuge boy, and knew that this young man was famous and bright, and the word was Kongming. But no matter what Liu Bei said, Zhuge Liang's father Zhuge Jue did not agree with Liu Bei to take Zhuge Liang away.

At the beginning, Liu Bei and the three of them went, although they were rejected, they could still see people, and when they went later, the Zhuge family closed the door directly, and no longer paid attention to Liu Bei and the others, and was almost so angry that Zhang Fei broke in directly, intending to forcibly take Zhuge Liang away, of course, he was stopped by Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

"It's really infuriating, how many people want to come to the eldest brother's account, but they have been rejected, and now they go to invite it in person, and they have been closed again and again." Zhang Fei was angry and couldn't stop complaining.

Seeing this, Guan Yu on the side immediately persuaded: "Okay, let's say a few words, don't you see that the eldest brother is upset?" ”

"Three years, we can afford to wait, why worry?" Liu Bei regained his composure and said.

For the last time, Zhuge Jue gave Liu Bei a deadline, if it was three years later, Zhuge Liang was willing to assist him, and he would come, if he didn't want to, Liu Bei and others would not come to disturb him, of course Liu Bei agreed.

"I can afford to wait for three years, but now the situation is changing every day, maybe it will hit us one day, do you want to stop?" Zhang Fei said with some deflatment.

"That's what's wrong with you, people are still a teenager, and it's normal to be uneasy."

Guan Yu did not shy away from criticizing Zhang Feilai, "When will you change your temperament, can't you be patient?" ”

"Hmph."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly and did not accept Guan Yu's advice.

"Okay, at least there are eyebrows, that's a good thing, now that there is no Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, can't we move forward? Recuperation was created by Han Taizu, which has a very good effect on the accumulation of troops and material resources. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up slightly, and he continued: "Recuperate for three years, endure humiliation for three years, and after three years, once it breaks out, you will definitely be whipped the world." ”

Huayin County.

Just like the few steps in front of the adults, it took some effort, and it didn't make Yuan Shu's army pay any price, just like that, Yuan Shu led the army through Huayin County and set off towards Weiyu County, which will be the last county before Chang'an.

I thought that it would be like Huayin County, and easily take Weiyu County, but unexpectedly, when Yuan Shu led the army to arrive, he saw that the soldiers and horses were waiting here, and it was Linzhou who led the way.

"Is Xu Zisheng crazy? If you don't defend Chang'an City, send you to lead the troops to Weiyu County to die. Yuan Shulang laughed.

"Is it sent to death, and the subordinates see the truth, why do you need to say more?" Lin Zhou said coldly.

"In this way, it seems that I am delaying time, and since you are in a hurry to die, then I will fulfill you, rush."

As Yuan Shu led the charge and the whole army was demoralized, they rushed towards the soldiers and horses led by Lin Zhou.

"Don't die, don't retreat! War! ”

Lin Zhou shouted angrily, and rushed away with his soldiers.

The two armies rushed together in an instant, and blood splattered and fell on the ground.

Hangu Pass.

Lu Bu finally led the army to come here, after passing the pass, Xu Chu personally led a large army to leave the team, rushed to the direction of Tongguan, the rest of the army, followed by Lu Bu, galloped towards Chang'an, vowing to rush back to Chang'an City before Weiyu lost, you must know that Chang'an's soldiers and horses, almost one in ten, all went to Weiyu County, and could not stop Yuan Shu's army for even a moment.
