The appearance of Liu Bei's name really surprised everyone in the big tent. If it is said that in the first battle of Huainan, there were two people whose names are known to the world, one is Cao Ang, who captured Yuan Shu and obtained the jade seal, and the other is Liu Bei, who conspired to rebel but was defeated by Cao Ang. It's just that in this story, Liu Bei played an inglorious role.

Therefore, Yuan Shao frowned at this time and said, "Liu Bei? This person has been missing since the first battle in Huainan, why, now he has surrendered to my command? Moreover, this person betrayed Cao Cao, and he was not a loyal person, and even Cao Ang, a junior, couldn't calculate. Such a major event as attacking Puyang, can he Liu Bei? ”

Frustrated on the side, he arched his hand and said: "Lord, I have seen Liu Bei and his person, he once told me that the reason why he rebelled against Cao Cao was also under the orders of His Majesty." Although this man is not a faithful person, he is already desperate at this time, and the lord has taken him under his command, and as long as he is more vigilant, he can also use it. Moreover, this person was ordered by His Majesty to crusade against Cao Cao, and we can also occupy the righteousness and become famous. When he came, he told me that he would be able to help the lord take Puyang, why didn't the lord summon him into the big tent and ask him carefully? ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "There is some truth in this. Someone, please Liu Bei into the account to speak. ”

Not long after, Liu Bei followed the guards into the big tent. Seeing Yuan Shao, who was at the top, sitting upright, he hurriedly bowed his hand, bowed and saluted: "I've seen the general." ”

Yuan Shao received this gift in his first life, and then his face changed, he walked down with a big laugh, grabbed Liu Bei's arm, pulled him up and said, "Xuande, don't be polite, don't be polite!" I think that when we worked together to defeat Dong Zhuo, what a majestic and heroic man we were at that time. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he said humbly: "At that time, I couldn't prepare a plain Ling'er, how could I dare to compare with the general." The general personally led the 19 soldiers and horses, cut down the water all the way from the sour jujube, attacked the tiger prison, and occupied Luoyang, which is famous all over the world! When the Dong thief heard this, he fled in a hurry. Now His Majesty is trapped in Yingdu, Cao Thief is just like Dong Thief back then, and now the general is for the righteousness of the world, personally conquering Cao Thief, preparing to be a saddle before and after the horse, and sharing worries for the general. ”

Yuan Shao immediately laughed when he heard this, speaking of which, Liu Bei and him are also old acquaintances, and they know a little about Yuan Shao's touted temperament, so as soon as he enters the big tent, his posture is extremely low. After all, if you want to gain Yuan Shao's trust and reuse, there are some things that you have to do. Yuan Shao smiled, and then asked Liu Bei to show his seat, and he himself returned to his seat. The two sat down, and Yuan Shao immediately asked: "Xuande, I heard Gonghe say that you have a plan to help me take Puyang, but is it true?" ”

"Exactly. It is difficult to come to Huainan, there are few people around, there is only Jian Yong, and Wu is not passing. I wanted to rush to Hebei immediately to serve the general, but unfortunately after arriving in Puyang, it was difficult to cross the river, so I had to hide temporarily in Puyang. But Bei always thinks about how to crusade against Cao Cao's old thief, and now Nadong County is guarding Liu Yan and the white horse at the moment, Puyang City is only guarded by two generals, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Now my two righteous brothers are still in Puyang City, and they have more than 100 personal guards. As long as the general's soldiers and horses arrive, there is no general in Puyang City, and he will inevitably panic. When the time comes, with the courage of my two righteous brothers, I will seize the city gate and enlarge the army into the city. At that time, although there were many Cao soldiers and the city wall was high, Puyang was the same thing as the general's bag. As soon as Puyang is over, the general can order a general to lead the army into Yanzhou, and the Cao thief army will collapse without a fight! ”

"Brother Ling, but the Tiger Prison is in front of the Tiger Prison and the warm wine is the Guan Yun of Huaxiong?"

"Yun Chang is my second brother. My third brother was in Huainan back then, and he killed Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu, and his bravery was no less than Yun Chang. ”

Yuan Shao immediately laughed when he heard this, and his joy may be the most correct word to describe Yuan Shao at this moment. I only heard Yuan Shao laugh, and said loudly: "With Xuande and your two righteous brothers, our army is even more powerful this time, and it is easy to take Puyang." I ordered Sima He Mao and Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Mo to lead 20,000 troops, led by Xuande, to take Puyang for me, Xuande can be confident? ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed down and said, "The general has a life, and he dares not to do his best!" ”

In Yuan Shao's big tent, it can be said that there are smiles and laughter, although Yuan Shao doesn't look down on Liu Bei's identity as a weaver and a mat seller, but his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been famous for a long time. Liu Bei wants to fight Puyang, there is still an internal response in the city, and it is not a big problem to take the city. Although Liu Bei is a newcomer, he and Cao Cao are incompatible at this time. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and he can rest assured that he will let him go to Puyang. What's more, there are Wang Mo and He Mao in the army, and Liu Bei has to weigh it if he wants to rebel. Therefore, Yuan Shao at this time can be said to be extremely capable of wooing Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is also interesting, and he is humble from beginning to end.

In the end, Liu Bei still took the soldiers and horses, and went straight to Puyang, and after marching for a long time, he had already mingled with Wang Mo and He Mao. However, Yuan Xi, who was far away in the plains, was as big as a bucket at the moment. Originally, he received a report from the scouts, saying that all parts of Jinan had increased troops and horses at night to consolidate the city's defense. He and Xin Bi also secretly laughed in their hearts that Gao Ye had fallen into this false and real plan. After all, he came all the way from Youzhou, and he was not familiar with the affairs in Qingzhou, and his soldiers and horses were a large army of miscellaneous people. With such a large army, crossing the Yellow River to fight against Gao Ye, let alone himself, even Xinbi has no confidence. Only then did they come up with such a virtual and real plan, so that Gao Ye couldn't figure out where he was going to cross the river from, after all, he didn't think about crossing the river at all. As long as he can hold Gao Ye back and prevent him from threatening the flanks of his father's army, he will be considered to have completed his mission.

Half a month has passed, and Gao Ye has no reaction except for increasing troops to strengthen the city defense, and even he is a little strange in his heart, is it possible that Gao Ye doesn't want to cross the river, and just wants to help Cao Cao stabilize the right flank? But today's war report really shocked me. Not only himself, but also Xinbi, who is now sitting in front of him, is also full of sadness. As the military newspaper was read, his face became even more ugly little by little.

Xin Bi, who read the military report, had already set off a monstrous wave in his heart at this moment, Yuan Xi's scouts were almost all over the north bank of the Yellow River, but how did Cao Jun quietly cross the river, and how did he quietly attack Yangxin behind the army on the land where the scouts were all over the place. If it weren't for the report of the rout, he and the others would still be complacent, and a suspicious plan would make Gao Ye no longer move. Unexpectedly, people had already dug their ancestral graves.

Yuan Xi, who had a disgraced face, asked astringently: "Mr. George, how did you say that this Cao army went around the back of our army?" This is not a small army, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses. There are so many scouts in our army, but I didn't find out! Now that Yangxin has fallen into the hands of Cao Jun, Leling is also being attacked by Yu Ban, sir, what do you say I should do now? ”

Hearing this, Xin Bi shook his head and said, "I really can't think of how Yu Ban's soldiers and horses got behind our army." But now that the letter is broken and Leling is besieged, we can't let it go. Once Leling also falls into the hands of Cao Jun, we will inevitably suffer from the enemy in the plains! ”

"What does the gentleman mean, we should send troops as soon as possible to rescue Leling?"

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. It's just that even if you want to send troops to save Leling, you need to think carefully. After all, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yu Ban's hands, and we still have 50,000 troops in front of Gao Ye. Once we divide our troops, it is very likely that Gao Ye will cross the river, and if we can't arrange it properly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist. Alas, this high night, this plan is really ruthless and accurate. In order to cope with the high night, our army was all gathered along the Yellow River, and the rear was empty. Who knew that he could actually let such a team of soldiers and horses go around without realizing it. I thought I had a plan, but I didn't expect that I still won the plan of the high night. ”

"Mr. George, now is not the time to sigh. Gao Ye's hand played with both of you and me in applause, and now it's better to think of a way to deal with the situation in front of you. ”

When Xin Bi heard this, he saw Yuan Xi, who was quite angry, and sighed slightly in his heart. This Yuan Xi has only faced a little setback, so he is so upset and irritable, he is really not a person who can achieve great things. Compared with his brother Yuan Tan, it can be said that he is heaven and earth, and even his younger brother Yuan Shang is inferior, so it is no wonder that Yuan Shao is quite dislike this son. It's just that although Xin Bi was slanderous in his heart, he didn't show the slightest flaw on his face, but contemplated: "Now there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yu Ban's hands, and there are still 2,000 soldiers and horses in Leling City." Yu Ban was able to lay down Yangxin so quickly, or because Yu Ban came suddenly, and the people guarding the city were too careless. Now that Leling is on guard, it is not easy to be attacked. The second son can personally lead an army of 30,000 people, and take Jiao Touch as a general to go to help. When the time comes, the internal and external attacks will be flanked, and the forbidden soldiers and horses will return to Yangxin. His surprise attack on the army, the grain route is difficult to guarantee, and it will retreat after a long time. ”

Yuan Xi nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Sir's words are reasonable, even if Yu Ban can lead the army to raid the back of our army, how can his grain, grass and ordnance be guaranteed?" In this way, the road can be broken. But what should we do about the high night on the front? ”

"If you want to cross the river on that high night, the plain city is a place where you must fight. As long as he wants to go west and help Cao Cao, he will not let our army occupy Pingyuan City. Our suspicious tactics have long been useless, so it is better to gather all the soldiers and horses on the plain. There is abundant grain and grass in the city, there are 50,000 troops to defend it, and there are Zai Xia and General Zhang Nan, and Gao Ye only has 50,000 horses in his hands, how can he easily take it? Just wait for the second prince to retreat from the forbidden army, and the city will not be attacked at night, and the army will be exhausted, so it is just right for me to wait to break the enemy. ”

Yuan Xi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Sir, this plan is really clever!" Okay, okay, that's it! I immediately asked Jiao Touch and Zhang Naner to come to my big account. If this battle can be won, Mr. should be the first to take the lead! ”[.]
