After Liu Bei was attacked by Lu Bu in Picheng, he retreated to Xiaopei with the defeated soldiers defeated by Yuan Shu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and Tai Shici wanted to fight together to recapture Xuzhou, but they were stopped by Liu Bei.

"Stop! The three of you can't go! Now we're falling out with Yuan Shu. Moreover, Yuan Shu was newly defeated, and Yuan Shu would definitely plot against Xuzhou. But now that Lu Bu controls Xiapi City, Yuan Shu doesn't dare to mess around. Let's settle down in Xiaopei first. If the three of you have nothing to do, go around and gather the remnants of the army in order to fight later! ”

"Yes! Three generals! What the lord said is very true! You better listen to your lord! A scribe said to Zhao Yun.

"Alas!" Tai Shi Ci sighed and left, and Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi also followed.

After Liu Bei saw the three brothers leaving, he said to the scribe: "Gongyou, what do you say is wrong with us?" How did you end up with a lost dog? Am I doing something wrong? ”

The scribe known as Gongyou was named Sun Qian, and he took refuge with Jian Yong and Yi Yuan around him, because he took a fancy to Liu Bei's benevolence and ambition.

Sun Qian shook his head when he heard this: "Lord, it's not your fault! It's that Lu Bu is too ruthless and unrighteous! We're all too soft-hearted! ”

"So what do we do now?" Liu Bei said with tears in his eyes.

Sun Qian and the three of them all shook their heads when they heard this, they all felt helpless about Liu Bei's current situation, so they had to remain silent. Seeing this, Liu Bei had no choice but to sigh. He sighed at Zhang Bao's opportunity, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's family background, Cao Cao's courage, and he Liu Bei seemed to have nothing but ambition.

"Big brother, big brother: this gentleman said he has something important to look for you! So I brought him back. Zhao Yun's happy voice suddenly came from outside.

Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then looked out the door. saw Zhao Yun walking in quickly with a scribe.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "I have seen Mr. in Xia, I don't know what Mr. is called?" ”

Hearing this, the scribe clenched his fists and replied: "Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi of Yingchuan Academy have seen Liu Gong. ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard that it was from Yingchuan Academy, he immediately came to the spirit! What is Yingchuan Academy? None of the people who came out there were not cow people. Liu Bei didn't know how he won the favor of Xu Yuanzhi in front of him, so he hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Yuanzhi can come here to see me, it's really an honor to prepare for three lives, I don't know why Yuanzhi is here?" ”

Xu Shu smiled when he heard this: "I came here to defect to Liu Gong!" ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Come on, come on!" Prepare for the feast! I'm going to entertain your guests! ”

The guards took the order. Liu Bei first introduced everyone to Xu Shu. Xu Shu then hugged his fists again and said, "Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi has seen you." I hope you will take care of Xu in the future. ”

"Where, where! Yuan Zhi has great talent, I might as well wait! In the future, I hope that Yuan Zhi will take care of it more! Sun Qian and the three of them hurriedly said humbly.

"Hehe, everyone, don't be polite! It's all your own people, there's no need to be like this. Gen Zhi, please take a seat. Liu Bei said to Xu Shu with a smile on his face.

After Xu Shu sat down, he said to Liu Bei: "Lord, I don't know why the lord cried just now?" ”

Liu Bei's expression sank when he heard this: "I rescued Tao Gong and received the Xuzhou pastor." But Yuan Shu sent an army to attack me, I sent troops to resist Yuan Shu, but Lu Bu attacked Xiapi, and now I am driven to Xiaopei to live temporarily. Became a homeless stray dog! Thinking of what happened to me, I cried sadly. Let Moto-Naomi smile. ”

Xu Shu didn't have a trace of sadness when he heard this, but smiled: "Lord, didn't you just lose Xuzhou?" What's the big deal about that! I wonder how much food the lord has now? How many soldiers? ”

Liu Bei blinked when he heard this: "There are still one million beads of money, 500,000 quintals of grain, and 7,000 remnants of the army, all of which were left behind by the failure of the conquest of Yuan Shu." ”

"Hahaha......! Yes, much better than I thought! Xu Shu laughed when he heard this.

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu suspiciously. Xu Shu continued: "Lord, do you know where in Xuzhou the soldiers are the bravest? ”

"Of course it's Danyang elite soldiers!" Liu Bei said directly.

"How many Danyang elite soldiers are there under the lord?" Xu Shu asked.

Liu Bei said embarrassedly when he heard this: "When I led the Xuzhou pastor, I promised not to recruit soldiers or pay food for three years. So at present, there are only 3,000 Danyang elite soldiers. ”

Xu Shu nodded when he heard this: "Lord, my subordinates have a strategy, I don't know if the lord listens or not?" ”

"Sir, please." Liu Bei leaned forward and said.

Xu Shu nodded when he heard this: "Lord, you take all the remaining money to recruit Danyang soldiers, and then go south with the army and food." Let's go directly to Gaoyou County, a border city in the south of Xuzhou. Then the army was reorganized, preparing to capture Yangzhou and Jiaozhou. After the lord took Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, he would take Jingnan, so that the lord would occupy a large territory in the south of the Yangtze River. This is the capital to compete with the Central Plains. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately got up and frowned and thought about it. After a while, Liu Bei came to Xu Shu and bowed to Xu Shu and said, "Bei is willing to ask Mr. to serve as a military advisor, I don't know if Mr. agrees?" ”

"I am willing to serve the Lord and serve the dog Malao!" Xu Shu bowed and saluted.

"Strategist, please get up! Zilong, go and call Shu Zhi and Ziyi, and say that we are about to have a big operation. Liu Bei said to Zhao Yun excitedly.

Zhao Yun quickly left after receiving the order.

……

After discussing with Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, Cao Cao decided to act immediately after the summer harvest ended. Because this spring's wheat is indeed growing well, Cao Cao must be fully prepared if he wants to achieve his strategic intentions. At the same time, Xi Zhicai also accelerated his penetration into Jingzhou and Yizhou. More than 10,000 guards disguised themselves as civilians and blended into the counties and cities of Jingzhou and Yizhou.

When Cao Cao was preparing intensively, Xi Zhicai brought a piece of news that shocked Cao Cao: "Lord, the spies have reported that Liu Bei left Jingzhou and went south. ”

Cao Cao not only didn't get angry when he heard this, but smiled: "Liu Xuande, what kind of immortal assistance did you get?" How could such a wise choice be made all of a sudden, and one step ahead of us. ”

Guo Jia said with a straight face when he heard this: "Hui is also a senior under him, his name is Xu Shu, the character is straight, and the small list is Fu." He is also a very scheming being. The lord should not be underestimated! ”

Cao Cao no longer laughed when he heard this, but frowned and said, "So Liu Xuande is also fledgling now." However, even if Liu Bei had the decision to go to Jiangnan, he would not succeed so quickly, and even if he took the Yangzhou area, he would have to spend time consolidating his territory. We still have plenty of time to act. ”

"Indeed it is! The subordinates just told the lord: Our previous intention to buy time for Liu Bei has also been achieved. But the subordinates now feel: It is not a good thing for us to let Liu Bei rise so quickly! Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

Cao Cao smiled slightly when he heard this: "It's a good thing!" Definitely a good thing! Let's not expect Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and the like to stop Zhang Bao. When we leave Yanzhou, Zhang Bao will definitely have a decisive battle with Er Yuan. At that time, it will definitely be Zhang Bao's victory, and Eryuan's defeat. We can also take the opportunity to seek Yuzhou. ”

"The lord is clear, and his subordinates also have this intention! So we can't give up on Yanzhou easily. Zhang Bao can't easily connect Chang'an and Qingzhou into one. In this way, we also have the opportunity to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Zhang Bao, and it will be more conducive to our pursuit of the Central Plains. Guo Jia hugged Cao Cao with a fist.

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this: "Yanzhou, I'm afraid we have to give up part of it." Even if we send generals to stay, we can only fight with Yuan Shu and defend Chen County, Yingchuan County and Runan County in Yuzhou as a buffer zone. Yanzhou really can't stay. No matter who I leave behind, I don't feel at ease. Zhang Bao's method of night attack is too clever, which makes people unguardable! ”

Guo Jia nodded slightly when he heard this, and stopped talking. Xi Zhicai didn't have anything to say.

After Zhang Bao got the news that Liu Bei left Xuzhou and went to Yangzhou, he couldn't help frowning when he was looking at the talent list: "Liu Bei went to Yangzhou? Who gave him this strategy? ”

Chen Gong hugged his fists when he heard this: "Lord, according to Wen You's spies: it is a person named Xu Shu. ”

"Xu Shu? I really know this guy! Alas! Forget it, we don't have so much energy to Gu Jiangnan now. What will happen in the future depends on Liu Bei's own life. But we've got a lot of talent this time! Gong Jin, especially your water army. I've found three of your subordinates with absolute strength. I also found you a talent to help you govern. Zhang Bao looked at Zhou Yu and smiled.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu clenched his fists brightly and said: "Lord, his subordinates will always be his subordinates, and the generals of Qingzhou will always be the lord's generals." The subordinates are just doing things for the lord. ”

Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "Gongjin doesn't need to explain, I understand!" Come, let's meet these great talents together. ”

After Zhang Bao finished speaking, Chen Gong, Zhou Yu and Jia Xu all looked forward to it one by one, and they wanted to know what kind of existence Zhang Bao had found from this group of poor talents.
