Chapter 85: Gambling

"Boqi surrendered so easily? Did Liu Yuan ask you to lobby Boyo? ”

"Yes, I think that it is the right way for a few of us to surrender to the lord and become officials and soldiers."

"However, Ehuan is dead, and he was invited out by me. I killed him, I can't avenge him, I have to surrender, I'm so sorry for him. ”

"The two armies were fighting, and there were casualties among each other. The lord is broad-minded and does not care. With your and my minds, can't you let go? ”

"What Boqi means, I know, I'll think about it again, and give you and Taishou an answer tomorrow." Xiahou Ba thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, Zhongquan, but you have to think twice. You are not afraid of death, I admire you, but it is worth dying to die. I'm looking forward to playing alongside you again. ”

After speaking, Zhang Wei left accompanied by Han soldiers.

Xiahou Ba is not a person who hesitates. The next morning, he met Liu Yuan and promised to return to Shun.

"Congratulations to the protagonist for subduing Xiahou Ba, whose initial loyalty is 75." The system message came.

I was subdued! This time it's not a scam. Liu Yuan was very excited, stepped forward to help Xiahou Ba, and said, "With Zhongquan's joining, I am like a tiger!" ”

Xiahou Ba said "don't dare".

However, Xiahou Ba was sincerely obedient, but Liu Yuan was in trouble.

After motioning for Xiahou Ba to sit down, he paced and thought at the same time.

Xiahou Ba's loyalty is not high, and if he is let go, it is not impossible for him to return to Jiang Wei's arms.

Moreover, Zhang Wei is a fraud, but others don't know. If you only let Xiahou Ba and not Zhang Wei, it really can't be justified. A bowl of water is uneven, how to convince the public?

Xiahou Ba must also think that Liu Yuan wants to use Zhang Wei to hold him hostage, and his loyalty will be greatly affected.

After careful consideration, Liu Yuan made up his mind. Isn't it Xiahouba and Zhang Wei, I saved the gamble! What if you lose? There is a system, and there is no worry about not getting such generals.

Until the moment of life and death, Liu Yuan will not be desperate. But since the bet is completely affordable, why not gamble?

Zhu Wu's high loyalty, wasn't it Liu Yuan's gamble?

Kill them, and you will get nothing. It's better to let them go and expect a better outcome.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan ordered his subordinates to call Zhang Wei.

While waiting for Zhang Wei, Liu Yuan chatted with Xiahouba while writing something on a blank piece of paper.

After writing, he put the paper into a bag and handed it to Xiahou and said, "Zhongquan, I will give you and Boqi a bag each, but the content is not the same. If you're hesitating, or before making an important decision, you might want to take a look at the letter I wrote to you. It doesn't matter if this trip is successful or not, it's good that you can come back. ”

Xiahou Ba accepted the bag in doubt.

After that, Liu Yuan prepared a second tip.

After a while, Zhang Wei arrived. Liu Yuan didn't say anything to him alone, and after giving him the tips, he directly ordered them to set off, and did not send anyone to follow.

So, the two set off. At first, the two of them had their own concerns and didn't say much. After leaving Wu County for a certain distance, Zhang Wei suddenly said: "Did Liu Yuan have a problem with his brain and let us go like this?" ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Ba was stunned: "What did you say?" ”

"What kind of medicine is sold in Liu Yuan's gourd? Did he really think that we would help him lobby for Boyo? Zhang Wei said again.

"We're just going to lobby Boyo, what other plans does Bo Qi have?"

"Zhongquan, what's wrong with you. We've long been out of the confines of Wu County. When we leave Wu County, we can gallop freely, Liu Yuan, a little Taishou, can still control us? ”

"Boqi, why do you say that? You persuaded me to submit to my lord, but now you have reversed your word? ”

"What is called backsliding, this is called soldiers are not tired of cheating! We defeated Liu Yuan this time, and of course we will get it back in the future. The so-called revenge is not a gentleman, can Zhongquan forget the grudge so much? Didn't you mention before that you want to avenge Ehuan? ”

"A gentleman must do what he says. You and I don't promise to be obedient, but if you agree but regret it, what face is based on the world? The lord trusts us so much, but do you want to fail like this? ”

"To a friend, naturally you can't live up to his trust; To the enemy, it is necessary to do everything necessary. Zhongquan, don't be too pedantic. ”

"Zhang Wei, I can't imagine that I won't see you clearly until today! You don't need to say more, since I promised the lord, there is no reason to go back. The Tao is different, and we don't conspire with each other, so you and I will part ways. ”

"Hey, I'm in a hurry when I'm talking about it, I don't know as much as you. Let's go. After seeing Boyo, I will talk about it. ”

Hmph, when I met Boyo, I don't believe you are still so ruthless. If it's really for the sake of outsiders, you don't even care about the old friendship, and you can't tolerate it! Zhang Wei said in his heart.

Xiahou Ba is a brave and resourceful person, and he will not act rashly. After all, they have been in a relationship for many years, and the two quickly repaired their relationship.

So, the two continued on their way.

Not surprisingly, Zhu Wu's mission to Fuchun County ended in failure, and Deng Ai still had to gnaw down. Liu Yuan joined forces with Qin Liangyu and continued to take Qin Liangyu as the commander.

The next day, the army marched towards Fuchun County, which Deng Ai occupied. Liu Yuan was not in a hurry and ordered the whole army to control the speed.

Since the county commander of Qu'a was dead, Liu Yuan temporarily left Wang Jun to lead 5,000 soldiers to defend Qu'a, including more than 1,000 soldiers.

Since then, only more than 8,000 soldiers have gone on the expedition. And Deng Ai's strength must have grown again after these days of development.

Liu Yuan and his generals agreed. This time against Deng Ai is different from the previous game against Jiang Wei, it is a close match. If Deng Ai defended it, Liu Yuan didn't even dare to forcibly attack the city. When the forces are equal, the losses of the besieging side are bound to be greater.

Of course, if Deng Ai avoided and did not fight, Liu Yuan was not afraid of dragging it out. With the power of one county against the power of one county, the more it drags on, the more favorable the battle situation will be. Just keep putting pressure on him.

Fuchun County Ya, Deng Ai is discussing with his subordinates.

"We still underestimate Liu Yuan. Unexpectedly, he defeated Jiang Wei with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Moreover, according to my observation, Jiang Wei's response did not make any mistakes, and he lost because of his lack of strength. Now, Liu Yuan's army has opened to my Fuchun, what do you think? Deng Ai said.

"Liu Yuan is indeed extraordinary, but Qu Acheng dispersed his forces. Today, he has only 8,000 troops, about the same number as we do. Shall we be afraid of him, if we can defend the city? Wen Yang said.

"But a few days ago, we routed the army sent by Zhang Wen. The remaining more than 2,000 people may join forces with Liu Yuan. Zhuge said.

"Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, what are you afraid of?" Wang Shuang said disdainfully.
