Chapter 369: Liu Bei's Calculations
Kong Rong saw that it was Tai Shici and Qin Jun who came.
He hurried out of the city to welcome him.
After Tai Shici entered the city, he found that he was not wrong in the city before, and it was indeed Liu Bei's three brothers here.
He really didn't expect to see Liu Bei here.
"Hehe, General Ziyi." Liu Bei saluted first.
When Liu Bei was in Jizhou, he was the biggest spoiler for Qin Jun. One will run here, the other will run there, doing things everywhere.
Tai Shici remained silent, as if he hadn't seen Liu Bei, and greeted Kong Rong.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both changed their faces when they dared to ignore their eldest brother, and Liu Bei hurriedly blocked them with his body and looked at the past.
Seeing Kong Rong very happy and said to Tai Shici: "It's great that the general can come to Beihai." ”
Tai Shici said: "The last general heard that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was resurrected, so he said that he would pick up his mother. When my lord found out, he gave me a thousand soldiers and horses. After coming to Qingzhou, I learned that my mother had been picked up by Master Kong to Beihai, and I was grateful. ”
Kong Rong said: "The general doesn't have to say thank you, I was afraid that the yellow scarf would hurt the old lady, so I sent someone to take it over, don't blame the general." ”
Sun Guan and other Beihai generals were all looking at Tai Shici at the moment, and they were secretly communicating.
"Then Qin Mengjie is really as benevolent as rumored."
"You see Tai Shi Ci picked up the old mother, and the lord of the family gave back a thousand elites."
"It's the first time I've seen anything like this."
After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard this conversation, their anger disappeared slightly.
At this time, the news of the Yellow Turban's withdrawal came from outside.
Zhang Fei immediately shouted, "It must be my second brother who hit Guan Hai hard, so he retreated." ”
Sun Guan and other generals also heard that this was Zhang Fei's move to invite merit.
Kong Rong was a gentleman who adhered to Zhou etiquette and the words and deeds of the sage, and when he heard Zhang Fei shouting like this, he thanked Liu Bei and Tai Shici again, and ordered a banquet to be set up.
"Thank him for what he did, he only came later." Zhang Fei shouted.
Dinner.
Although the Yellow Turbans retreated, Beihai was saved.
But after all, the Yellow Turban was temporarily retreating, and Kong Rong was still sad, so he asked Liu Bei and Tai Shici how to break the enemy.
Tai Shi Ci put down his wine glass, "Before I came, I originally thought that it was just the remnants of the Yellow Turban, but I didn't expect it to be so huge. When I came, my father-in-law told me that if Kong Beihai was in trouble, my father-in-law could come to help. ”
Kong Rong stood up excitedly, "If Qin makes Jun willing to help, my Qingzhou will be saved!" ”
Sun Guan and they were all very excited.
And Liu Bei's three brothers suddenly changed color. Speaking of which, they had just escaped from Qin Ye's hands, and they originally said that they had come to settle in Beihai. If Qin Ye comes, will he tolerate himself?
"My son, if you can rescue Master Kong, you must do your best."
At this time, Tai Shici's mother came.
Tai Shi Ci knelt down to greet him, and when he saw that his mother was very safe, his heart was completely relaxed. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Kong Rong taking his mother to take refuge in Beihai. At this time, my mother was afraid that she would suffer.
Therefore, Tai Shici was still very grateful to Kong Rong for his righteous deeds, and when he came, Qin Ye ordered him.
So he said: "Master Kong, don't worry, the thousand soldiers and horses I brought will stay." I rode out of the city alone and went to Jizhou to see my lord. ”
Tai Shi Ci's mother did not stop her, but told Tai Shi Ci to go quickly.
Kong Rong said gratefully: "That's great, please also ask the general to quickly lead the soldiers and horses to help." ”
Tai Shi Ci went at that time.
Kong Rong stopped the banquet, on the one hand, arranged Tai Shici's mother, and on the other hand, personally sent Tai Shici out of the city.
Since the Yellow Turban Army had withdrawn, Tai Shi Ci calmly left.
At the head of the city, he saw Tai Shi Ci go away.
Kong Rong and the others still looked better.
But the appearance of Liu Bei's three brothers is too bad, as if they look like they have stayed up late and worked as coolies.
"How's that okay?" Guan Yu touched the five strands of long hair, losing his former calmness.
Liu Bei's heart moved, and he said to Kong Rong: "The Yellow Turban is so huge, I'm afraid there are three or five hundred thousand troops, plus many people follow the rebellion, I'm afraid there are millions of people." Qin made Jun benevolent, but his soldiers and horses still needed to cross the Yellow River, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to quench his thirst in the distant waters. ”
Kong Rong was still quite worried, so although Tai Shici went to ask for reinforcements, he still didn't smile.
After hearing Liu Bei's words at this moment, his face changed considerably.
Liu Bei observed his words, and felt that his words had entered Kong Rong's heart, and further said: "Why don't you invite Cao Mengde to come and crusade against the Yellow Turban Thief together?" Cao Mengde was on land, and his troops were immediately able to attack Jinan. Jinan is an important place leading to Beihai and Donglai, and it is also the rear of the Yellow Turban, Guan Hai will definitely withdraw his troops to resist, and the siege of Beihai will be lifted. ”
Kong Rong's face changed again, and he felt that what Liu Bei said was too reasonable.
It's just that Kong Rong is quite worried, "Will Cao Mengde agree?" ”
"General Cao is a famous family, a pillar of the Han family, and now Qingzhou has suffered from the Yellow Turban Thieves, and it is Lord Yan Shenggong who invited him, he will definitely come."
Kong Rong remembered Cao Cao's prestige and nodded frequently.
And Sun Guan and other generals also felt that what Liu Bei said made sense. You must know that Kong Rong is a descendant of a saint, which is equivalent to a saint to invite Cao Cao, how can there be no reason not to come.
"Who is willing to go to ask General Cao for the help of the envoy?" Kong Rong looked at the people under his command.
Sun Guan and the others were eager to try, but soon their faces were embarrassed.
You must know that to go to Yanzhou, you need a fast one the most, but because of this, the Qingzhou territory you pass through is all the territory of the Yellow Turban thieves.
Passing through enemy-occupied areas, you have to ride horses, the goal is obvious, but it is dangerous.
Sun Guan said: "My lord, it's not that we don't want to go, but I'm afraid that something will happen on the road, but it will delay the lord's major event." ”
Liu Bei immediately said, "Master Kong, my second brother can go." ”
Kong Rong was overjoyed, "It's best that the general goes." ”
He didn't embarrass these people under his command, after all, as Sun Guan said, it was too difficult to go, and if he didn't have the ability to go, he would delay things.
"Do you need help?" Kong Rong asked.
The second master touched his beard and looked at the sky at forty-five degrees, "You can do it alone, but there are too many people, but it will delay the trip." ”
Kong Rong thanked again.
After Liu Bei's three brothers came out.
Guan Yu was very puzzled, "A Qin Ye is already difficult to deal with. Why did my brother go to Cao Gong? Could it be that the eldest brother plans to settle down at Cao Gong's? ”
Zhang Fei glared at his eldest brother.
His brothers didn't want to see Qin Ye, but they were disgusted people.
And for Cao Cao, who warmed the wine, he had a good impression.
Liu Bei sighed and said, "It seems that Qin Ye has taken a fancy to Qingzhou's timing. What kind of kindness did he have to help Kong Rong, he must have taken advantage of the weakness. also came to the rescue with a pretense, and only a gentleman as polite as Kong Rong would believe Qin Mengjie's nonsense. ”
"With him coming here, there is a chance for our brothers, and Cao Cao needs to be invited to come, and Qin Ye can't be allowed to be as he wishes."
"Big brother has a point!" Zhang Fei nodded fiercely.
Guan Yu nodded in favor, so he followed Tai Shici's example, went out of the city single-handedly, went to Yanzhou, and went to find Cao Cao.
