Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "I still hope that Prime Minister Mingjian, Xiao Pei has experienced a big war, and everything is recuperating." Moreover, although Xiao Pei has thousands of soldiers, they are all recruits recruited after the war, and they don't have much combat ability at all. Moreover, Xiao Pei will be mediocre, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be qualified for the position of raid. ”

For Liu Bei's rhetoric, Du Chen was prepared, he looked up at Liu Bei, and then said: "Xuande is really not honest, the strength of Xiaopei's soldiers, we can see it." Thinking about that day, when Xuande and you were able to resist Lu Bu's tens of thousands of tigers and wolves with thousands of Xiaopei soldiers, Xuande must have hoarded in Xiaopei with absolutely no bad combat effectiveness. ”

"And Xuande, you are the imperial uncle of the Great Han Dynasty, and now there is a person with such a heinous crime as Yuan Shu, can you just sit idly by, uncle? You must know that the sooner these thieves are eliminated, the better it is for the Han, and by Xuchang to send troops, I am afraid that it will delay a lot of time, if Sun Qian and others lead thousands of soldiers to attack Yuan Shu first, and then we wait in the army to press the realm, then Yuan Shu will be broken in a few days. Therefore, it will not take long for such thieves who are in trouble to ambush them. ”

Du Chen's words left Liu Bei with no room for rebuttal. However, this is also very helpless, after all, Du Chen has already understood himself very clearly. In the face of Du Chen's rhetoric, Liu Bei was very helpless. If he had a knife in front of him now, he wouldn't mind picking it up and stabbing it at Du Chen. If it weren't for Du Chen, how could he have been exposed.

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Si Lang's words are very good, presumably Xuande will not refuse, right?" Moreover, Yuan Shu's crime is extremely heinous, and we really can't let him be arrogant for too long. ”

Hearing that the main minister only saw singing and harmonizing, Liu Bei knew that it was useless for him to say anything. Looking at Cao Cao and Du Chen very helplessly, Liu Bei said: "I still don't feel at ease about this matter. If you don't prepare to go out in person, lead thousands of soldiers to attack Yuan Shu. ”

How could Liu Bei's plan succeed, Du Chen shook his head and said: "Xuande and Yun Changyide want to stay and command the three armies, so it's better to let Sun Gan, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others lead the troops, after all, the three of them also have a certain amount of talent, Xuande, you are the lord." They should be believed. Du Chen said this, how else could Liu Bei answer. And depending on the situation, whether it is Du Chen or Cao Cao, they are determined to let Xiao Pei send troops, how can they persuade others to do so.

"In this case, I will write a letter to Gongyou, asking him to immediately recruit troops and attack Yuan Shu." Liu Bei said helplessly. There is no way, this is also a helpless move, after all, with their own ability. He couldn't persuade Du Chen and Cao Cao.

Seeing that Liu Bei finally agreed, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction. But how could Du Chen let Liu Bei go lightly. After all, Du Chen knew that Liu Bei cherished the thousands of soldiers under his command very much. So he will definitely not let his soldiers fight to the death, but there are strategies and countermeasures.

Looking at Liu Bei, Du Chen opened his mouth and said: "Xuande can rest assured that it will be arranged, and Chen will mobilize hundreds of elite scouts to help General Sun." Don't worry, my hundreds of scouts are elite. The best thing is to get information, if they can help you. General Sun will definitely succeed immediately. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei was quite annoyed in his heart. Du Chen's move is called help, but in essence, it is to monitor himself. He was afraid that he would only be able to do his work, so he specially arranged for hundreds of scouts to monitor his army's every move.

Du Chen's move can be described as very vicious, but Liu Bei has no way to refute it at all. If Du Chen asks other soldiers to support. Liu Beida had many reasons to refuse Du Chen. But Du Chen was ingenious, just to fund himself a little scout.

"Uh......" Liu Bei was about to say something, but Du Chen interrupted on the side: "Xuande Mo wants to refuse, these elite scouts were sent by Chen to Huainan to investigate the truth and truth, so to speak." They know Huainan very well, and if they help General Sun, they will definitely be like a tiger with wings. ”

Since Du Chen said so, Liu Bei had no way to excuse himself. After all, on the bright side, Du Chen is indeed well-intentioned. dismissed Du Chen's kindness, then both Du Chen and Cao Cao would doubt themselves.

Du Chen thought of everything he could think of, which made Liu Bei feel powerless. In any case, Du Chen also asked Xiaopei to send troops. But since Du Chen wanted to see it so much, Liu Bei could only obey. After all, if he offended Du Chen at this time, he would have no chance to leave Xuchang.

"In that case, then Bei will thank Lord Taiwei on behalf of Gongyou." Liu Bei Shili said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction. Then, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said: "This is very good, tomorrow morning, this prime minister will ask His Majesty for his life, and let the two of you lead the army to defeat Yuan Shu." ”

The next morning, Cao Cao opened his mouth to ask for the emperor's life. And when Emperor Xian heard that Liu Bei was actually in the crusade against Yuan Shu, he was also very happy. Now, his cronies are dead and wounded. It can be said that there are almost no credible people around Emperor Xian now, and the only one who can still be trusted is his cheap imperial uncle.

Moreover, at this time, Emperor Xian also realized the importance of military power. If you don't have the right to fight, you don't have any right to speak. If you want to confront Cao Cao and avenge the empress, your first goal is to have your own army.

For this, there is no way to offer the emperor in the inner courtyard of the palace. And what he can do is cultivate his cronies. And now, only his imperial uncle is the most worthy of his trust, and letting him crusade against Yuan Shu can allow Liu Bei to gather some prestige.

Emperor Xian happily agreed to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao began to get busy. After all, the crusade against Yuan Shu is a big deal. Although Yuan Shu has lost the support of the people because of the emperor, there are still many soldiers under his command.

However, the most troublesome thing for Cao Cao is that because of the battle of Xuzhou that the Yanzhou soldiers have just experienced, the current troops are not very sufficient. After all, now that he has two states, there are too many places to defend.

The soldiers who had just been recruited had not yet completed their basic training, and they could be said to have no combat effectiveness at all, so Cao Cao also had a headache when it came to sending troops to fight against Yuan Shu.

But in any case, since he has decided, no matter what the problem, Cao Cao can only face it up.

At the same time, Xiao Pei guarded the mansion too much, and Mi Zhu and Sun Qian were also having a headache about the things in front of them. Because the two of them had just received Liu Bei's order. Let Sun Qian raise his troops and prepare to defeat Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu occupies Huainan and is strong, far from being able to shake it with thousands of soldiers and horses. And the lord actually let himself be the striker, and the soldiers and horses immediately set out to fight at the beginning of the day, which made Sun Qian very headache. I don't know what to do.

Sun Qian has been following Liu Bei for a long time, so he naturally understands Liu Bei's personality. He knew that the current lord had reached the point of exhaustion, and at this time, these soldiers of Xiao Pei were already the last family of the lord, and the lord would definitely not use his family funds until the last resort.

But now, the lord has no reason, so he let himself go out with his whole army, how can this not give Sun Qian a headache. He didn't know. How should this matter be resolved, because this matter is full of doubts, the letter was written by the lord, and it is definitely not bad, but the content in the heart is definitely not what the lord can write.

"What do you think about this?" Sun Qian took Liu Bei's letter and said. In front of him at this time were the most powerful strategists under Liu Bei.

"This ......" the few people didn't know how to answer. This is indeed a difficult issue, after all, this is related to Liu Bei's foundation, if it is not handled well. It may have ruined the hard work of the lord.

"Report!" Just as a few people were hesitating, the voice of the soldier came from outside the door.

"Biography!" Sun Qian said in a deep voice. He frowned. The report was so impatient, it was clear that something was going on again. Things really went one after the other, and I didn't have any free time at all.

After the soldier came in, he came to Sun Gan, he reached out and took out a secret document in his arms, and then said, "General." Secret documents of the main public! ”

Hearing this, Sun Qian's eyes finally lit up, he had been worried for so long, and the lord finally had a letter. With the news of the lord, there is no need to be so impatient.

As a result, Sun Qian immediately read the secret letter in the soldier's hand. But after reading it. Sun Gan's expression became more and more worried. Because it has been clearly stated in the secret letter that he will lead his troops to Yuan Shu, and the battle must be fought beautifully.

However, Sun Qian finally understood why the lord was like this, it turned out that it was Du Chen's conspiracy. However, Du Chen occupies the righteousness, if he does not implement it, then the reputation of the next chaotic minister and thief may be detained on the lord's body.

handed over Liu Bei's secret letter to the others, and after Mi Zhu and the others read it, they all frowned. Since Liu Bei, who is the lord, has already said so, he can only act according to the plan and lead his troops to attack Yuan Shu.

The letter has already stated that he is a striker, and he is determined to fight the first battle in order to boost morale. But it's easy to say, but it's hard to actually do. There are indeed thousands of soldiers in the entire Xiaopei, but except for a thousand white-eared elite soldiers, the rest of the soldiers can't form much combat power, and it is not easy to expect them to fight with Yuan Shu's regular soldiers.

"Everyone expresses their opinions, how will this battle be fought?" Sun Qian asked. Now that Liu Guanzhang and the three of them are not in Xiaopei, only he can support this burden.

"Cao Cao Du Chen is so calculating, such a conspiracy, this battle will not work. Moreover, this battle can only be won, not defeated, otherwise Du Chen and Cao Cao will definitely punish us. It's not a pity for me to die, but it's not good to burden the lord. Mi Zhu said in a deep voice.

And after Mi Zhu finished speaking, Jian Yong and the others also had a headache. Fighting against the powerful Yuan Shu with a few thousand soldiers is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. But if you don't, you'll be left behind.

"In any case, we can only go out as a whole army. Passing on my order, the three armies are ready to go, and when they are fully prepared, they will go straight to the spring. At the same time, let the white-eared elite soldiers prepare for battle, and if you want to win this battle, you can only rely on the elite of the white-eared elite soldiers. Sun Qian said in a deep voice. At this time, he has the style of a general.

Hearing Sun Qian say this, Jian Yongmizhu didn't say anything. After all, he is a civil official, and only Sun Qian here is quite martial arts, so what he says, then he can only do it.

Xiao Pei is only a few thousand soldiers and horses, so he is mobilized very quickly. The only thing that gave Sun Qian a headache was that Xiao Pei's grain and grass reserves were insufficient. For this, Sun Qian was very troubled, after all, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and his own grain and grass were not sufficient, and he lost half of the battle before it began.

However, there is still good news, that is, Cao Cao supported him with a lot of grain and grass, which made Sun Qian's headache quickly solved. When the grain and grass reserves were sufficient, Sun Qian waved his army south, led thousands of Xiaopei soldiers, and killed Huainan Jianchun. (To be continued......)
