"Regardless of the lord, the three generals and General Guan Taoyuan have formed a righteous relationship, and General Guan has been sitting in Yuzhou for more than a year. Why did the rumors not rise sooner or later, but only when we and Cao Ying joined forces to defeat the traitor Yuan Shu? And together it is spreading rapidly, if it is not deliberately done by someone with a heart, it is hard to believe. Lu Su said first.

When Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng heard this, they all felt that it made sense, and the three of them nodded in unison. The difference is that Zhang Fei and Liu Bei felt that Lu Su was reasonable, and Zhao Feng admired Lu Su more.

Lu Su then said: "Although General Guan is sitting in Yuzhou, the young general is General Guan's intention to let him serve in Xuzhou, and General Guan's family is in Xuzhou, which is also to show his heart and show the world!" ”

"That's right!" Zhao Feng is also the head of the chin, he suddenly remembered that Guan Yu was in Jingzhou in history, but at least one of his two sons Guan Ping and Guan Xing stayed in Chengdu. Although Liu Bei is a very righteous person in history, in order to avenge his two brothers, he can go into battle in person. But can his weight in Lao Liu's heart be compared to them? Of course, in his previous life, Zhao Feng also scoffed at the statement that some experts believed that Guan Yu was deliberately killed by Liu Bei. Liu Bei is not so stupid, even if he wants to get rid of Guan Yu, how can he be guilty of catching Jingzhou? And Guan Yu's prosperity and decline speed is amazing, if Liu Bei even counts this, then he is more divine than Zhuge Liang.

"In the end, Su Zeng sent someone to investigate the source of these rumors, but there was a shocking discovery." Lu Su paused for a moment before saying, "Most of these rumors came to Xuzhou from Taishan County. ”

"Tarzan County?" At this time, Liu Bei and the others suddenly realized in their hearts: the rumors did not come from Yuzhou, where Guan Yu was located, but from Yanzhou, where Cao Yu was located, and everyone naturally understood the mystery with their intelligence. Zhao Feng also secretly sighed in his heart that Cao Ying was powerful: he was still crusading against Yuan Shu, and he also took the time to separate Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

"In that case, do you want to mention the second brother?" Liu Bei groaned. "The lord doesn't need to worry too much, the second general has Xu Yuanzhi by his side. With its wisdom, there should be a way to deal with it! Lu Su said with a smile. As soon as the words fell, he saw an urgent letter from the attendant outside the door.

After Liu Bei flipped through it, he smiled and said: "The second brother intends to move the Yuzhou administrative office to Qian County, but Ruyin and Xiangcheng two counties are included in Runan, and Wei Yan takes over Wenpin as Runan Taishou, and Wenpin is reappointed as Yuzhou Bing Cao. ”

"This is the second general's expression of his heart, it must be Xu Yuanzhi's plan." Lu Su smiled when he heard this. Zhao Feng also sighed, this is really a brother's account. However, Wei Yan should be more than enough to be the Taishou of Runan, and he was the Taishou of Hanzhong in history. At that time, he claimed that Cao Ying's 100,000 people would be annexed, and more than 100,000 would retreat from the enemy, Liu Bei didn't think he was bragging. You must know that Liu Bei's ability to recognize people is well known, and since he trusts Wei Yan so much, it means that the latter does have this ability. Now that he is guarding Runan, and there is Li Yan, a person who is both civil and military, he should not be a problem to deal with Cao Ying. As for Liu Biao in the west, ignore it automatically.

"What about the two generals, Hou Cheng and Hao Meng?" Zhao Feng asked at this time, you must know that after merging Xiangcheng and Ruyin, these two Taishou who had been in office for less than a year would come to an end. Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "These two generals wrote to ask for a merger, and the two of them have been guards for a year, and they both feel that they are not the talents of the town guard, and there is no person who is proficient in civil affairs to assist, so they are miserable, so they ask to be returned to the general." ”

"That's great!" Zhao Feng also nodded, people are self-aware, and it is good for these two people to have this idea. However, Liu Bei's luck seems to be particularly good today, and at this time, someone came to report that it was under the order of Xia Cai County to come and surrender in person.

"Hurry up, please!" Liu Bei said urgently. After a while, a civil official in his twenties bowed down to the account with a large number of things, and when he saw Liu Bei, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The criminal minister ordered Li Tong from Cai County, meet Taiwei Liu!" ”

"Li County Order doesn't have to be polite!" Liu Bei motioned for him to speak flat. Only then did Li Tong stand up, and at the same time, the attendants beside Liu Bei also took over the pile of things he was holding. Only then did Zhao Feng see clearly, it turned out that Li Tong was not holding anything else, but several official seals and some account books.

"I heard that Taiwei Liu, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and General Sun were together to crusade against the rebel thief of Yuan Shu, and we knew that this thief was exhausted. As Hanchen, we have to endure until now because we are in danger. Recently, it was heard that Taiwei's army had gone south to Huainan, but the eight counties had already been pacified in the twentieth day. I have been waiting for the county orders of the five counties to discuss for a long time, and I am willing to return to Taiwei Liu and fight against the traitors together! Li Tong pointed to the pile of things and said: "This is the official seal of the county order of the five counties of our five counties, as well as the tax-paying population, which is now brought by Tong. ”

"Li County's order to abandon the dark and turn to the light, congratulations!" Liu Bei first encouraged two sentences. Zhao Feng on the side thought and asked, "I don't know the words of Li County's order?" ”

"A certain word Wenda, dare to ask the general?" Li Tong asked as he gave a salute. He is not stupid, seeing that Zhao Feng is still so comfortable in Liu Bei's account, he can know that Zhao Feng is a high-level in Xuzhou, and he does not dare to slack off at the moment.

Sure enough, it was him! Zhao Feng was also suddenly aware in his heart, in history, Cao Ying appointed Shouchun Taishou, the general Li Tong Li Wenda, and later the war horse on the bank of the Weishui River overtime and was killed by the other party. Although this person is not a top talent, he can be regarded as both civil and military. "I'm Pengcheng, Zhao Feng, Zhao Botao!" Zhao Feng's heart instantly turned a few times, but he didn't forget to answer, and Li Tong was polite again when he heard this.

"I heard that the army of Yangzhou Musun Ce has arrived in Lujiang, but I don't know why Li Xianling didn't go to him, but he came to join us and others?" Liu Bei asked slowly.

"The name of Lord Liu's benevolence is known to the world. When we are close to Xiapi, we have admired it for a long time, how can we be willing to seek the near and far? Li Tong patted his ass sincerely. However, this sycophant did make Liu Bei more comfortable, and he accepted the five official seals with a smile, but ordered Zhang Fei to transfer military horses to take over the defense of the five counties, and at the same time brought back four of the official seals to the four county commanders who did not come, and appointed them to continue to be officials here. As for Li Tong, Liu Bei first named him a lieutenant and left him to obey orders in the army.

"Thank you, Lord Liu, for your appreciation!" Li Tong was also secretly glad that he had made the right bet. In fact, when they first discussed, someone once proposed to defect to Sun Ce, and the reason was also very good: Sun Ce was the Yangzhou pastor canonized by the imperial court, and he was still his top boss in name. However, Li Tong still tried his best to persuade them to defect to Liu Bei, the reason was that Sun Ce killed a lot of people when he pacified Jiangdong a few years ago, and it may not be very safe to defect by himself; Moreover, the Jiangdong family is very xenophobic, and Sun Ce's official position is only Yangzhou Mu, and the five of them went to the past like this, and it would be good to maintain the current official position. However, Liu Bei is known for his eclectic use of people, and he is benevolent and righteous, and his official position is to be a lieutenant of the court, so he can appoint an official position higher, and secondly, he is more flexible. Everyone was moved by him, so they entrusted him to explore the limelight.

Zhao Feng didn't think of all these things, but he also knew that Li Tong should be sincere now. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Feng smiled at Liu Bei and said: "Lord, in the past, it was said that the fourteen counties of Jiujiang County were left, and now there is Shouchun that has not been taken, and the remaining thirteen counties are already my Xuzhou territory." ”

"That's right!" Liu Bei was also delighted by this unexpected joy. Originally, after everyone conquered the eight counties in the east, some people also proposed to attack the five counties west of Shouchun, but considering that Shouchun Yuan Shu still had an army of 150,000, it would be difficult to attack back and forth. Now Li Tong and others took the initiative to surrender, and there was only one lonely city left in Shouchun in the entire Jiujiang County, just waiting for Cao Ying and Sun Ce's army to arrive here, they could besiege the city, and at the moment Liu Bei also sent more horses to the west to find out the news of the two people.

Under Lujiang City, "Zhang Xun is Yuan Shu's confidant, this guy is defending Lujiang City, this time my Jiangdong sergeant really suffered heavy casualties!" Looking at the fierce battle on the head of Lujiang City, a ** Jiangdong army climbed up the ladder, but was turned into corpses and thrown down, Sun Ce was in pain and emotional.

"There's no way, we have to take Lujiang as soon as possible!" Zhou Yu only said half of what he said, but Sun Ce also understood the second half of the sentence: If you don't take Lujiang, how can you talk about Shouchun and Huainan? At this moment, there was a sudden chaos at the head of Lujiang City, although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not know what was happening, but the experience of many years of conquest told them that now was the opportunity to take advantage of. At that moment, Sun Ce organized a wave of commandos and took advantage of the chaos to kill the head of Lujiang City. The panicked defenders could not organize much effective resistance for a while, and only held out for a moment before collapsing. Then more and more Jiangdong troops climbed to the top of the city, and some people opened the drawbridge, and killed the city to open the city gate, this time Sun Ce led the army to drive straight in, and the Lujiang City was officially and successfully broken.

"Why is Lujiang City in chaos?" Sun Ce asked a probe who had just returned from inquiring about the news. "Lord, it seems that the east gate of Lujiang has been attacked, and it is rumored that even Zhang Xun has been killed!" The tanma replied.

"Keep exploring!" After Sun Ce gave the order, he and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and both of them invariably saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes: The reinforcements from the east gate should be Liu Bei's people without accident. Could it be that he has already taken Shouchun and Huainan? Then it won't be much fun for me to raise troops this time.

"Lord, it looks like someone is coming!" A sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the distance. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked from afar, but saw that the two big flags were "Zhang" and "Gao". It turned out that Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to send men and horses to take over the defense of the five counties, but Zhang Fei was really idle if he didn't go into battle for a long time, so he asked Liu Bei for orders to help Sun Ce solve Zhang Xun in Lujiang, Liu Bei also agreed, and sent Gao Shun to lead the trapped camp to help.

The next one is even simpler, Gao Shun's trapping camp is simply a demonic existence for Zhang Xun, and they were on the top of the city in an instant, and Zhang Xun himself was hacked to death by Gao Shun, and it was precisely because of this that it caused that turmoil and fulfilled the Jiangdong people who attacked the city in the south.

At this point, Lujiang, the last gateway of Shouchun, had been captured, and soon the combined forces of Guan Yu and Cao Ying also took Yiyang. Yuan Shu's territory, only Shouchun Lonely City remains. And the armies of the three families are gradually encircling here.
