In the past few days, Liu Zhang's marching speed has not been fast, and it is almost October in Shouchun. The weather in the south is not cold enough, and there is still a feeling of autumn at this time. The situation here in Shouchun is even worse than imagined, although Yuan Shu's army is not much, there are still about forty or fifty thousand left, but the spies have to report that these soldiers are constantly going out to find food. It seems that Yuan Shu doesn't have much food, no wonder he wants to find Yuan Shao after the New Year.

When Liu Zhang was still a few miles away from Shou County, he had already been discovered by Yuan Shu's sentinels. But they didn't dare to come, they just watched from afar. The big Liu character made those soldiers instantly think of Liu Bei, and at this time, it seemed that only Liu Bei, who was very close, had a chance to attack them.

A few sentinels immediately slapped their horses and headed towards the city, and the dense team seemed to have seventy or eighty thousand horses, so many men and horses were going to destroy their puppet emperor. After hurrying back, the soldiers immediately came to report: "Report, Your Majesty is not good, then Liu Bei has led a large army to attack the city." "They have already lost to Liu Bei once before, and this time they are afraid that they will still lose.

Yuan Shu was frightened and hurriedly got up: "The people who weave mats and sell shoes, slaughter pigs and sell wine have come to attack me again?" Then Cao Cao is coming to take my life again? "Yuan Shu has really been bad for years, even if he can't beat Cao Cao, he can't even beat Liu Bei and Lu Bu. This annoyed him, who once thought he was the best in the world......

"The small one just saw the dense soldiers coming towards Shou County, it looks like there are probably hundreds of thousands of troops, Your Majesty." The captain was really scared, this was Cao Cao's soldiers, how could they fight hundreds of thousands?

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, how can the defense of Shou County be captured by Cao Cao in a while?" The two most loyal generals under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling and Li Feng, said that there was no problem at the moment. Although Ji Ling was cheated by Lu Bu, he was really loyal, and he was still a little mighty.

Yuan Shu trembled and got up and said, "The enemy army is strong, and we don't have much food, how can this be good?" Yuan Shu has lost consecutive battles, and he is already a little disheartened at this moment.

Yuan Shu's sigh they all understood, and one by one they were indeed silent. Although Ji Ling, Li Feng and others were brave and loyal, they didn't have many troops under them after all. Although forty or fifty thousand people seem to be a lot, their ordnance, money, and food are basically exhausted, and as long as they start a war, they will inevitably end in consecutive defeats.

Before, Lu Bu's thousands of men and horses were able to kill Yuan Shu, although there was a suspicion of rebellion, but it also showed that Yuan Shu had a big problem here. He is too inflated, who are Yang Feng and Han Xianam? These people don't have the slightest loyalty, and a little money can make their true nature shine. Yuan Shu even uses this kind of person, which is already suitable for destroying the Great Wall. In the case of Liu Zhang, he would rather develop little by little than this so-called growth in strength.

"I'm afraid I'm going to die soon after this defeat, but it's a pity that this jade seal of the country has been handed down." Yuan Shu held the jade seal and felt desolate in his heart, this thing was in Sun Jian's hands at the beginning, but the person died directly. Later, Sun Ce exchanged such a thing for his subordinates, and this time his power was greatly damaged, and it seems that the so-called jade seal is really an unlucky thing.

A group of people were around, but Yuan Shu felt extremely desolate: "Today, I can only go to Yuan Shao." Speaking of this, Yuan Shu was very unwilling in his heart, and in Yuan Shu's heart, he looked down on Yuan Shao. A child born to a concubine, even if it is an elder brother, is just a subordinate in his eyes. But that Yuan Shao actually dominated the land of Sizhou, and there were countless elite soldiers and strong generals under his command. Looking at him Yuan Shu?

When Yuan Shu just had Jizhou, he Yuan Shu was in the Jianghuai region, and he Yuan Shu was from Runan to Nanyang and even Yangzhou. But look at it now, he was actually chased like a lost dog. When the princes of the Eighteenth Route were in the past, only he Yuan Shu was the most powerful, and he could feed the princes of the Eighteenth Route by himself, what kind of courage was that?

"Your Majesty, let's go to Yuan Shao, I'm afraid Xuzhou won't be able to get by. That Liu Bei refers to himself as the authentic Han family, and he will definitely not let us pass. Cao Cao probably won't agree to us passing through Yanzhou and other places...... "Li Feng's generals have already lost to Liu Bei before, and it may be even more difficult to go to Yuan Shao this time."

"The mat weaver is out there now, I'm going to kill him." Yuan Shu thought of the three people who were ridiculed by himself back then, and they actually dared to lead a large army to crusade against him in person? With Yuan Shu's words, the army was immediately reorganized, although it had been defeated several times, but the emaciated camel was still another skin.

Under the banner waving, Yuan Shu led the army to the city wall. From a distance, I saw the military formation in the distance, where the flags were scattered and the military appearance was neat. Yuan Shu looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly realized that the situation was a little wrong. This doesn't seem to be Liu Bei's army? First of all, Liu Bei's army was not so neat, and secondly, Liu Bei did not have so much financial resources to arm such an army.

"That's not Liu Bei's army, but who will be Liu's army?" Because of the remote location, and secondly, the war here and the news blockage, Yuan Shu really couldn't recognize that this was Liu Zhang. In his impression, wasn't Liu Zhang attacking Jingzhou? That was Jingzhou, and he didn't necessarily have the ability to take that place when he was strong.

After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see whose troops it was, so Yuan Shu ordered Ji Ling to fight: "Fuyi, you go and call the battle, I want to see who came to pick up the bargain when I was down." Yuan Shu under the anger still has some taste of the master, but the confidence of these words is insufficient.

"Oh" followed Ji Ling's order, but the people on the city wall were ready to see who was taking advantage of the fire to rob. The city gate opened, and Ji Ling rushed out: "Who is coming?" He scolded before the battle, looking at the generals in the other party's row, and felt that they were all tall and tall. Whether it is the brightness of the armor or the strength of the horses, it shows that the people who come are by no means idle.

Liu Zhang changed to a white horse, and he felt that he was also a prince charming. It's a pity that I can't marry a princess back, and the charm is still a little worse. However, although Yuan Shu's is called the emperor, it is a joke, not to mention his daughter? Liu Zhang said that he really couldn't look down on it, I heard that Sun Quan married Yuan Shu's daughter?

Liu Zhang looked at the bearded man but shouted, "Who are you?" Liu Zhang remembered that Yuan Shu had a very cute general, who seemed to be Ji Ling.

The bearded man roared directly: "Slack, I'll ask you ......" Ji Ling was embarrassed to say the name of Emperor Yuan Shu, he was too much of an emperor.

Liu Zhang thought for a moment and said directly: "Let me guess, you are Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu, right?" "So dumbfounded, I feel like he fits. This person is still brave, and he was killed by Zhang Fei after fighting Guan Yu for dozens of rounds.

Ji Ling felt a little stunned, he didn't know Liu Zhang at all, but others said his name in one bite. strain

Reins: "Who are you?" Why did you come to attack Shou County? Ji Ling felt a little empty in his heart, and he felt unconfident when he spoke.

Liu Zhang smiled: "I'm Hussar General Liu Zhang, as for why I came here, don't you really understand?" What good deeds did your master do? ”

Ji Ling's expression suddenly became exciting, and he pointed at Liu Zhang and said, "Aren't you attacking Jingzhou?" Why is it here? "It's so easy for a state to be taken there, but how long has it been? Liu Zhang actually led a large army to attack Jiujiang? Could it be that Liu Pi and others in Runan have been defeated? The world is changing so fast that they already have a bit of an incomprehensible taste.

"Jingzhou? When was that? It was a year ago, and Jingzhou had already fallen into my hands. But what was your master doing when I attacked Jingzhou? He actually became the emperor? Liu Zhang looked at what this big stupid cow would say.

Ji Ling looked at Liu Zhang and snorted coldly and said: "The great man's qi is exhausted, my lord has obtained the jade seal to inherit the mandate of heaven, why can't he be the son of heaven?" This was said by the fortune teller, and it was also said by those hundred officials when Yuan Shu was the son of heaven.

Liu Zhang clapped his hands and said: "Well said, once a son of heaven and a courtier, everyone in the world can be the emperor, why can't Yuan Shu?" It's okay to be an emperor, but have you thought about the consequences of being an emperor? I think you're not bad, why don't you come and be a general under my account? "Liu Zhang likes to seduce the enemy's subordinates in person, especially this kind of loyal and capable men.

Ji Ling had never seen such a person talking like this in front of the two armies, if he wanted the enemy's subordinates, at least he had to send lobbyists privately, right? How did you get to Liu Zhang, so directly? At this time, for the sake of reputation and face, he could only snort coldly and said: "I, Ji Ling, am worthy of my lord, how can I be that treacherous?" The words are awe-inspiring, but the confidence feels a little empty.

Liu Zhang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's a man." You go back and tell Yuan Shu that I will attack the city in three days. Saying that, Liu Zhang rode back to the camp, as for why he told them, it was to make them afraid. They could indeed be ready in three days, but the feeling of being overwhelmed by the army could also demoralize them.

Ji Ling watched Liu Zhang go back, and hurriedly rode back to the camp. The enemy who came now is no longer a small person, and this is after the emperor of the Eight Classics. This is much more terrifying than that Liu Bei, and what is even more excessive is that others have strong forces.

Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Shou County, and Liu Zhang didn't know how the people here should live. Many of these soldiers went out to work as bandits, which only made the hardships of the local people even worse. Liu Zhang didn't need to look to know that it was not only Chen Lan and others who had gone up the mountain, but also many small forces.

For these forces, Liu Zhang had no way to govern them for a while, and even if it was his own place, it was impossible to govern them so quickly. There are too few people in their own way, even if the territory is beaten down, it can only become the situation of Xuzhou, today is their own, tomorrow is someone else's day after tomorrow or their own.
