Chapter 140: Liu Bei has arrived in Xuzhou
"Is there any news from Hefei in the public station?" Xu Shu asked towards Chen Gong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chen Gong said: "I heard that Yuan Shu sent his advisor Yan Xiang to lead troops into Hefei. All the soldiers in Hefei City were taken away by us, and Yan Xiang took Hefei without waste. ”
"Now that Chaohu Lake has been decided, I think Tu Tang's grain and grass should be transferred, what does Gongtai think?"
"Not bad. Tu Tang was too close to Guangling, and there was no way before, so he had to hoard in Tu Tang. In order not to have a long dream at night, it would be a bad thing to let Sun Ce or Chen Deng cross the river and rob him, and it would be very feasible to transfer to Chaohu Lake. However, there are still many bandits around, and they have to be exterminated. Chen Gong said.
"In this battle against Yuan Shu, Wen Yuan and Ji Da are indispensable, how about leaving General Sun Kang to lead the troops to suppress the thieves?" Xu Shu asked.
"General Sun Kang is loyal to his lord, but also." Chen Gong replied.
Chen Gong said again: "I have collected a lot of people from the south of Yingshang County, I heard that Xu Xuan, the Taishou of Runan, has occupied An Fengjin, what does he mean by this?" Do you want to flank Yuan Shu with our army or take the opportunity to pick up the cheap? ”
"There may be both, let's first observe what Xu Xuan's attitude is." Xu Shu asked, "Is there any news about the lord of Tuzhong?" ”
"Not yet. The lord's cavalry came and went without a trace, and I sent a messenger to find out if the lord was found. If there is any news from the lord's side, it should have been transmitted back to Tu Tang. The Tu Tang messenger should be coming to Chao County soon. Yuan Zhi doesn't have to worry, there should be news of the lord in two or three days. ”
————————————————————
Liu Bei led his troops to Xuzhou, Huai'an's military situation was urgent, and it was too late to return to Xiaopei, so the army rushed to Huai'an in a straight line. As soon as Liu Bei's army arrived in Lingbi, Sun Gan, Mi Zhu and other staff members had already received the news that Xiao Pei had rushed to join Liu Bei.
Liu Bei stayed in Lingbi for a day and set up a banquet to entertain Sun Qian and others.
During the banquet, Liu Bei asked Sun Qian about the current situation in Xuzhou. Lu Bu has now been driven out of Xuzhou, Xuzhou assassin Shi Che has no ambitions, Liu Bei wants to replace him, retake Xuzhou as the foundation of his life.
Sun Qian replied: "Xu Xuan, the minister of the East China Sea, sent people to the East China Sea to recruit more than 1,000 soldiers, and he has just passed Huaiyin and is about to arrive in Xuyi." In addition, Che Assassin Shi fled back to Huai'an, and Sun Ce was fortified in the Huai'an area. ”
Liu Bei had long known that Che Zhou had fled back to Huai'an, and he was a little sorry that he did not die in the chaos, Che Zhou was Cao Cao's cronies, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had not torn their faces, and he secretly planned to kill Che Zhou for any reason in his heart.
When he heard that Xu Xuan sent someone to the East China Sea to recruit troops, Liu Bei was a little annoyed, as if the crops in his field were stolen: "Xu Xuan did not come to take office with the official position of the East China Sea Minister, but stayed in Runan, why did he come to my Xuzhou to recruit troops now?" ”
"I heard that Yuan Shu's army attacked Lu Bu in the east, and Shouchun was empty. Xu Xuan's whole army wanted to seize the jade seal of the country and hand it over to the Son of Heaven. Jian Yong said.
"That's fine. How long will it take for Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to tell the winner? Liu Bei asked. Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are not easy people to get along with, if the two decide the winner, it is very likely that they will force Xuzhou, Liu Bei needs to pacify the army of Sun Ce in Guangling as soon as possible, so as to free up his hands to deal with Shouchun's attack.
"It's impossible to speculate. Only found that Lu Butun's army was in Tutang, and the movements of the army were unknown. Lu Bu led the cavalry to cut off the grain route of Tuzhong Jiling's army, thinking that he wanted to slowly drag down Yuan Shu. Sun Qian and Jian Yong glanced at each other and said. Because of the difficulty in transmitting information, they have not yet received the news of the surrender of Ji Ling's army.
"Is there any news of Yuanlong?" Liu Bei only knew that Che Zhou was defeated and fled back to Huai'an, and the battle report sent to Xuchang did not contain any information about Chen Deng's whereabouts. Liu Bei and Chen Deng are good friends and are worried about Chen Deng's safety.
Mi Zhu said: "I heard that Yuanlong occupied Lu Bu's Huailing City, and is fighting against Sun Ce's army in Huailing. ”
When Liu Bei heard that Chen Deng was unharmed, he was relieved and worried: "How is the war?" ”
"The situation is critical. The strength of Huailing City is only two or three thousand, and it is difficult to defend it for a long time. Huai'an did not send troops to rescue, and there were many bad lucks. ”
As soon as he heard that Chen Deng was unharmed, Liu Bei didn't have time to be happy, and asked worriedly again: "Is there a way to rescue?" ”
Sun Qian said confidently: "I know that the lord is worried about Yuanlong's safety, so I have already thought of countermeasures, and we just wait for the lord's approval." ”
"What's the solution?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
"Knowing that the lord wants to fight with Sun Ce, how can the generals not know the time and place, Jian Xianhe and I visited the area of White Horse Lake when we had nothing to do, and found that the lake is deep and wide, it is better to break the embankment and flood Sun Ce's army." Sun Qian told the story of the strategy.
These third-rate strategists could think of this poisonous plan at a glance, but Xu Shu, Chen Gong, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu and others were too worried about it because they instinctively thought about things more than ordinary people, but ignored the potential danger.
Liu Bei's expression froze when he heard this, and he said to Sun Qian in a cold voice: "If the embankment is broken, the flooding of both sides of the Huai River will affect tens of thousands of people, and you want to discredit me?" ”
"The subordinates are derelict in their duties, please calm the anger of the lord." Sun Qian hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"That's it. You are not guilty. Liu Bei quickly opened the map, watched the trend of the waters of Baima Lake, and sighed: "If the embankment of Baima Lake is broken, the lake water can not only submerge Sun Ce's army under Guangling, but also submerge Lu Bu's Tu Tang, which is really a good plan." Alas, it was detrimental to my reputation. ”
Jian Yong said suddenly: "Che Xuan Pifuer, why don't you inform Che Xuan of the strategy and use his hand to break the embankment, so that it has nothing to do with the lord." ”
"No." Liu Bei said pretendedly: "In this way, the people in Guangling and Huainan will be ruined, and they can't bear it." ”
When the generals under his command saw that Liu Bei did not allow it, they no longer discussed this issue. Only the two generals sent by Cao Cao, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, looked at each other eagerly, and Liu Bei saw all this in his eyes.
The crowd dispersed, and only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood beside Liu Bei. Zhang Fei complained: "If the eldest brother hadn't stopped me when Lu Bu was resurrected in Xiapi that day, I would have cut off Lu Bu's head a long time ago, and there would have been today's incident." ”
As soon as Guan Yu put away the military book in his hand, the momentum of the whole person was much more restrained than before, and there was a sense of being ready to start, and on the surface, his martial arts had greatly regressed. He said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother Hugh wants to mention it again." The situation was urgent that day, and the eldest brother had no choice but to do it. ”
Guan Yu turned his head and asked Liu Bei: "Big brother really wants to get rid of Lu Bu too?" Sooner or later, the matter of the secret edict will be exposed, it is better to use it as foreign aid, and if he is Cao Cheng's prime minister in Xuzhou, he can retreat from the enemy together with Lu Bu. ”
"The second brother also thinks that Uncle Dong Guo is difficult to succeed? Lu Bu is afraid that he hates me so much that I am unwilling to help him relieve the siege when I watch him be tortured, if Cao Cao comes to commit it, he will clap his hands and applaud, it is better to let the chariot drown him. ”
"In the past, His Majesty returned to the east, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other leading troops chased after the public opinion, His Majesty dived across the river at night, and the six palaces all walked out of the camp. Queen Fu held a few horses, Dong Cheng was greedy, so that people killed the waiters to seize the ropes, and blood splashed Queen Fu's clothes. It can be seen that Uncle Dong Guo is really not a good person, and this anti-Cao is just to compete for power. If his heart is not right, can An become a big thing? Guan Yu used Dong Cheng to advise Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was silent, Lu Bu's wolf ambition, and uniting with Lu Bu was like seeking skin with a tiger.
