Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Liu Bei came to the place where Guan Yu was garrisoned, followed by Liu Hui, the political inspector.

"Yun Chang, how was the loss last night?"

The front of the gunpowder smoke was filled, and the corpses were ambushed, and a group of men and horses were killed in the city last night to forcibly open a gap, but they never thought that Guan Yu would take the lead and fight bravely in all directions, but they were forced to strangle it in the encirclement.

"Big brother! We suffered more than 40 casualties, hundreds of arrows, more than 100 enemies, and not a single person escaped. ”

Guan Yu stroked his long hair with his hand and replied indifferently.

"Hmm!"

Liu Bei just agreed, and then remained silent.

This is already the tenth attack, and the soldiers on their side are already exhausted, and the two sides are more patient, and even Liu Bei has rarely had the opportunity to take a nap in the past few days.

It has been more than half a month since Chen Deng set off for Yanjin, and it is time to come back, even if he does not come back, then the news that Cao Thief ordered Xiahou Yuan to retreat should have arrived.

But until now, there is still no news from Cao Thief, could it be that something went wrong? Or would Cao Thief rather abandon his fellow brother Xiahou Yuan than take a step back to open up the sea and the sky?

"Zihui."

Liu Bei turned around and beckoned Liu Hui to step forward: "You personally bring a few elite people and rush to the border of Xuzhou to meet Yuanlong in the starry night." ”

"No."

Liu Hui was about to turn around and leave, but Liu Bei stopped him again: "Let Zizhong go to pick up Yuanlong, Brother Zihui, you go to Jizhou in person, and be sure to see Yuan Shao, so that he can put pressure on Cao Thief." ”

Liu Hui nodded and turned to leave.

*******************************

"My lord! Zizhong is back. ”

Outside the big tent, Zhao Yun broke in, with a hint of joy on his face, and bowed his hand to speak.

"Oh!"

Liu Bei waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "Let's go and have a look." ”

The two came to the gate together, looking around, a long line of 100 people, walking slowly, waving flags in the wind, sending out gusts of wind.

"My lord! Lord! ”

Flying in front of him, he waved and shouted from afar, and it was really the first person to come.

Chen Deng turned over and dismounted, came to Liu Bei, saluted, and said, "Lord! In Xia Xing, he did not disgrace his life and formed an alliance with Cao Cao. ”

"Yuanlong is hard!"

Liu Bei took a step forward, held his hand, stared intently, and said earnestly, then turned to look at the long team of 100 people, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Oh!"

Chen Deng looked back, let out a laugh, and said, "Lord! This is a brigade of envoys specially sent by Cao Cao for this alliance. ”

Messenger brigade?

Liu Bei was taken aback, although it was exciting news to say that the Cao-Liu Alliance, but Cao Cao's move was a little too ostentatious, fortunately this is Xuzhou, not Jizhou, if Yuan Shao knows, he will inevitably be furious, and maybe he will send a large army to exterminate himself.

This long team was led by Cheng Yu, a total of one hundred and eight people, each holding a variety of flags, and saluting the princes. Cao Cao still knew the etiquette, and did not use it to make things difficult for the lord. ”

Chen Deng explained the envoy brigade a little, and then hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and went out to greet the lord with Guo, and Guan Yu and other generals did not reduce their defense against Xiahou Yuan a little because the war was about to end, on the contrary, the intention of resisting the enemy at this time was even stronger.

"Cheng Yu meets General Zuo."

The envoy team came to Liu Bei's military village, Cheng Yu turned over and dismounted, dressed in a black and red official uniform, flicked his sleeves, was dressed properly, and strode forward a few feet away from the gate, bowing and saluting.

The one hundred and eight people behind Cheng Yu also followed closely and saluted.

After Liu Bei responded with a smile, he gave Zhao Yun a look to the side, Zhao Yun nodded in understanding, and took advantage of the chaos in the crowd to inspect the entire marching sequence.

No Warframe! No blades! It seems that this hundred-man brigade really has no bad intentions!

Zhao Yun shook his head and signaled, Liu Bei understood.

Liu Bei returned the salute, took a step back, and waved his hand to make way for a way: "Zhongde!" Please. ”

Cheng Yu took a step back, bowed down, and was humble: "How dare you!" Or Uncle Huang first, please. ”

The two walked hand in hand into the military tent hand in hand.

Cheng Yu represents Cao Cao, and at this time it can be regarded as a real alliance with Liu Bei.

The two of them in the military tent just exchanged a few words of greetings, and the most sensitive topic was just when Liu Bei would be able to open a gap and let Xiahou Yuan lead the army to withdraw from Xiapi, and Liu Bei seemed to have expected it, and he had already prepared for this and could meet this request at any time.

"Uncle Huang! At this time, when we come to Xiapi City, can we send someone to the city to inform General Xiahou first, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Cheng Yu stood up and bowed his hand.

"Well, this one."

Liu Bei hesitated slightly, if Cheng Yu took this opportunity to collude with Xiahou Yuan and attack inside and out, the consequences would be unimaginable, but now that he has formed an alliance, if he doesn't even have this basic trust, wouldn't it be very rude?

Suddenly, a spiritual pass flashed, Liu Bei let out a laugh, and said: "Zhongde came from afar, and he needs to rest today, like this!" Let Zhao Yun, the general under his command, go to Xiapi City to give an order to General Xiahou, what is it? ”

Cheng Yu was stunned and was silent.

Liu Bei said again: "Zhongde is a guest from afar, and the guest is as he pleases, so I think this matter will be done." ”

Cheng Yu pretended to be helpless and arched his hand: "I will obey the emperor's uncle's wishes." This General Zhao went to give an order and told General Xiahou that we would leave for Yanjin tomorrow. ”

Zhao Yun stood up and smiled indifferently: "Hmm! I know. With that, he bowed his hand to Liu Bei, turned around and left the big tent.

Today, Liu Bei's army came to Cheng Yu, although Xiahou Yuan did not go out of the city, but he already knew that he would definitely not doubt that Zhao Yun came to deliver Cheng Yu's letter, so Zhao Yun's trip was quite smooth.

On the one hand, Liu Bei arranged the food and housing problems of these 100 people, and on the other hand, he ordered people to secretly monitor the movements of these people, in a word: If the enemy does not move, I will not move; If the enemy moves, I will move first!

On the other hand, it is still ordered that the officers and men of the three armed forces must not be taken lightly, and they still need to be strictly guarded, and the more they are about to end, the more likely they are to have accidents, because this moment is often the most exhausting moment for people.

This night! Peaceful.

In the early morning of the next day, according to the promise agreed in advance, Liu Bei's army got out of the way, let Xiahou Yuan lead the army to withdraw from Xiapi City, and Cheng Yu Xiahou Yuan left Xuzhou and retreated into the land of Yuzhou, and since then the alliance has been formed forever.

It all seems to be going well!

But Liu Bei definitely didn't expect that when Cheng Yu returned to the front line of Yanjin with Xiahou Yuan, this 100-person envoy brigade would be disbanded!

And this hundred-strong team is composed of Yuan Shao's sergeants who Cao Cao captured from the battlefield and returned, this time they were disbanded, and some people returned to Baima, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's secret alliance was already a well-known secret in Yuan Shao's camp.

And Liu Hui! At this time, I just came to the territory of Jizhou, and I was about to cross the river to rush to the front line of Baima to meet Yuan Shao!
