In Gushi City, Liu Bei learned that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, he finally held Gushi and was not displaced again. He was really scared, and it was really uncomfortable to live without his own territory.

Cao Cao has retreated now, and he is finally relieved, but this breath is not finished, so he let him hold back.

There's one more person next to it! Although this was here to help him, Liu Bei still couldn't let go.

Liu Bei couldn't see through Zhang Yi at all, he didn't understand what Zhang Yi was going to do. With Zhang Yi's strength, he can completely compete with Cao Cao, but I don't know why he has to support himself?

The cavalry under the city a few days ago, Liu Bei could see it clearly, it was too good, and it wiped out Cao Cao's thousands of people before it even arrived. Liu Bei thought about it, if he encountered such a cavalry, it would not be much better.

Therefore, Liu Bei had some doubts about why Zhang Yihao needed to resist Cao Cao by himself.

Sun Qian walked in and said to Liu Bei Shili: "Lord, Zhang Yuanjun is now stationed outside the city, and the lord still needs to visit. ”

Liu Bei covered his head, "I know, I just don't understand something!" ”

Sun Qian asked, "I don't know what's going on?" Can you tell me? ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, Gongyou, you said that Zhang Yi has such strength, why do you want me to be in Runan?" If he occupies Runan by himself, he may already be able to attack Xuchang, or he may be able to divide the world with Yuan Shao! ”

Sun Qian smiled: "Maybe that's not Zhang Yi's purpose!" ”

Liu Bei seems to have been empowered, that is not Zhang Yi's purpose, so what is Zhang Yi's purpose? Liu Bei didn't believe that he just wanted to die of old age in Yangzhou, he was only in his twenties, and he was officially in the prime of life. If he does not enter Runan, he will not go north, and if he wants to go north, he will attack Runan, which is the place where the Qinling Mountains and Huaishui meet, and is an important strategic point. And there are rich resources and many people, Yuan Shu relied on this place to become the first prince, even more powerful than Yuan Shao.

The Yuan family's family is in Runan, and what they fancy is the richness here, and the accumulation of attack generation after generation has made the Yuan family the largest family in the world. Even if Yuan Shu has been defeated and Yuan Shao is in Hebei, the Yuan clan's power is still there.

As long as he occupies this place, he can be deployed along the Huaishui, so that Cao Cao will not be able to cross the Huaishui at all.

If Zhang Yi doesn't go north, then he only goes west! Westward, what he wants is Jingzhou!

Liu Bei's eyes widened, if he wanted Jingzhou, no wonder! Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Zhang Yi would have any intentions against him! If you think about it, he won't be afraid of him, he will go to Jingzhou if he wants it! As long as I cooperate with Yuan Shao to defeat Cao Cao, I can have my own foothold!

Liu Bei stood up and said in high spirits: "Gongyou, get ready, let's go visit Zhang Ziguo." ”

"No!"

Zhang Yi was processing the military report in the battalion, and Xue Li had just sent back the battle report on the defeat of the Cao army in Xinxi County, which was the second county that Xue Li had defeated.

Wei Wentong walked in quickly: "Lord, Liu Bei is visiting!" ”

When Zhang Yi heard it, this Liu Bei is still very discerning! "Open the door and greet!"

Zhang Yi led the battalion Chinese Wu to the camp gate, saw Liu Bei, and greeted: "Xuande Gong came to visit, there is a loss of welcome, forgive the sin!" ”

Liu Bei said politely: "Zhang Zhendong is polite, Bei can keep Runan, thanks to Zhang Zhendong's help, thank you Zhang Zhendong for your righteous act!" ”

"Xuande Gong is polite, please come into the camp and take a seat!" Zhang Yi took Liu Bei's hand affectionately, welcomed him into the camp, and when he arrived at the camp tent, he said politely: "Duke Xuande, please take a seat!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly pushed back, where did he dare to take a seat? Although this is his territory, it is indeed Zhang Yi's camp. Zhang Yi's strength is much stronger than him, and he also helped him defend Runan, no matter how stupid he is, he won't sit on the seat! What's more, he's not stupid!

After several resignations in succession, Zhang Yi still sat in the upper seat.

At the banquet, the two staggered and chatted happily. After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Yi took out Xue Li's battle report, and the waiter handed it to Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, I will return to Shouchun tomorrow, before I go back, this is my last gift to you!" ”

Liu Bei opened the military newspaper, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and the five counties of Qi Si and others were near Gushi. If there are no people in these five counties, it will be much more difficult for Liu Bei to develop!

Liu Bei said gratefully: "Zhang Zhendong's kindness, there is nothing to repay, but there is a sending, and he is prepared to serve his life with death!" ”

"What did Xuande Gong say!" Zhang Yi said with a smile, he didn't believe it at all, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were a few people who couldn't believe their words, and one of them was Liu Bei!

When they had eaten and drunk, the two groups dispersed. Zhang Yi sent Liu Bei out of the camp and then watched him enter the city.

Wei Wentong asked behind him: "Liu Bei was loyal to the lord just now, why didn't the lord agree?" ”

"Do you really think he's allegiance to me?" Zhang Yi looked at him with a smile, "Then you are too naïve!" ”

"You have to know that Liu Bei is a disaster star, and whoever goes under him will be unlucky! You count the people he took refuge in, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, and now Yuan Shao is left, and the other two are dead. Moreover, Yuan Shao has already fallen, and both sides of the attack can't defeat Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao's defeat is not far away. If I take in Liu Bei, do you think I will follow in the footsteps of the three of them? ”

Wei Wentong was stunned and thought about it, this is really the case!

Di Qing couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Yi teasing Wei Wentong.

Zhang Yi turned his head and asked, "You agree with my words?" ”

Di Qing said: "Gongsun Zan died of tyranny, Tao Qian died of his life, and Yuan Shaozhi was stupid and defeated, not because of Liu Bei!" ”

"You're right, but Liu Bei is in the defeat of the three of them, so you can't talk about it! Why do you say Liu Bei always wants to find a master with shortcomings? Zhang Yi asked.

"Naturally, it's easy to get rid of!"

"That's right!" Zhang Yi said: "So I won't make people think that I am easy to get rid of!" ”

Wei Wentong suddenly asked at this time: "Lord, I remember that Liu Bei seems to have taken refuge in Cao Cao!" ”

Zhang Yi was speechless-

When Liu Bei returned to Gushi, he immediately summoned Guan, Zhang and Zhao and asked them to take over the counties with two thousand people each, and he needed to recover his strength as soon as possible. In the past month or so, he has lost too much. He must take over these county towns as soon as possible and harvest the grain there, otherwise he may run out of food. Although he can still ask Zhang Yi for food, but after all, that person's things still have to be short-handed, and if he hands over his lifeline to Zhang Yi, Liu Bei is not so stupid!
