In the council hall, the debate continues.

In the meaning of Liu Ze, let Liu Bei be the state pastor, if it doesn't work, take a step back, let him do the assassin history, in short, hand over all the government affairs of Xuzhou to him, Liu Ze himself concentrates on acting military affairs, firstly, this move is in line with Liu Ze's idea of dividing the civil and military affairs, and secondly, he can spare more energy to preside over military affairs, and prepare for war and Yuan Shu is about to start the battle of Huainan. And after the end of the Battle of Huainan, whether it was westward or southward, Liu Ze's footsteps of military expansion would not stop again. Liu Ze told everyone his thoughts and thoughts, hoping to get everyone's support and understanding.

But as soon as Liu Zegang put it forward, he was immediately unanimously opposed by everyone, and everyone's opinions were also very clear, there are no two days, there are no two masters of the country, and the affairs of Xuzhou are all decided by Liu Ze alone. It's not that Liu Bei can't stay, he just needs to pay for the county and the country, but if he wants to put his position above Liu Ze, it will never work. "This is the way to get into chaos!" Chen Gong pointed out sharply.

Zhang Fei said that he couldn't let others take the position of the eldest brother, and he was indignant all the time, shouting loudly and non-stop.

Liu Ze leaned back on the back of the chair helplessly, feeling that his head hurt so much.

"Lord, Xuande Gong asks to see." Pan Feng came in and reported to Liu Ze softly, Liu Ze nodded, and said to everyone: "Okay, let's discuss it here today, let this matter go first, and then discuss it later." Since he couldn't convince everyone, Liu Ze had no choice but to put this proposal aside and go to the back hall to see Liu Bei.

"Did my brother sleep well last night?" As soon as he came in, Liu Ze took the lead in greeting him.

Liu Bei's face was calm as usual. said with a smile: "There is a second brother Lao to remember, and it is good to be a brother." Last night for my brother also thought about a night, as the second brother said, from Xuzhou to Youzhou, thousands of miles away, the rescue, it is difficult to do, it was for the brother Meng Lang before, not thoughtful, there is something inappropriate between the words. Please bear with me as a second brother. ”

Liu Ze said: "Brother is polite. Between our brothers, we should say everything. Gongsun Boqi and I have a good relationship, but wherever he can, the younger brother will never sit idly by. It's just that Youzhou is a long way away. Even if it was in vain to cost the lives of 100,000 soldiers in Xuzhou. It may not be able to reach the county seat. So let me send a letter to Bo Jue, who may have trouble in the future. But when I come to Xuzhou, I will treat him well. ”

Liu Bei said: "There is no need to bother the second brother to send someone to this matter, and the brother will leave for Youzhou today and personally explain it to Bo Jue." ”

Liu Ze was shocked and said, "Why is my brother in such a hurry to leave?" The situation in Youzhou is critical, and my brother may not be able to protect himself when he goes back. According to the younger brother's opinion, the elder brother is better to stay in Xuzhou, and the younger brother's words yesterday are by no means unbelievable, the elder brother will stay in Xuzhou for the time being, and after a few days, the younger brother will definitely have a way to protect the elder brother's position. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Second brother, your kindness is appreciated by my brother, but your sister-in-law and two nephews are still in Youzhou, how can I ignore them and enjoy wealth alone in Xuzhou." ”

Liu Ze said: "Sister-in-law and nephew, brother, but please rest assured, the younger brother will definitely send someone to escort them to Xuzhou." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "No need, the decision to go for my brother has been decided, and Runde doesn't have to stay." Gongsun Boqi treats me kindly, at this time of crisis, how can I abandon it, and sincerely laugh at the people of the world. Second brother, Xuzhou's foundation is hard-won, and it is cherished, and these loyal and upright people under the second brother should be used better. ”

Liu Ze kept it again and again, but Liu Bei was very determined, and finally had to say: "So brother has to be very careful, if Gongsun Chan is really defeated, Brother Wanwang can't donate his life lightly, or come to Xuzhou." Liu Ze secretly instructed Pan Feng to send Jin Ying Wei Yu Lu to secretly escort Liu Bei back to Youzhou, and at the same time ordered Pan Feng to order Jin Ying Wei Youzhou Branch, asking them to secretly protect the safety of Liu Bei's family, and if Yi County was broken, they should do everything possible to escort them out of Youzhou. Gongsun Zhan's defeat is already doomed, Liu Ze is beyond his reach, even if he wants to redeem it, it is impossible, the only thing that makes him worry is the safety of Liu Bei's family, I believe that with the power of Jin Yingwei, it should not be too difficult to save Liu Bei's family from the chaos.

Ten miles of long pavilion, Liu Ze and Liu Bei said goodbye, to Liu Ze's slight surprise, Liu Bei, who wiped his tears at every turn, did not have red circles in his eyes this time, the brothers said goodbye, Liu Bei's car quickly disappeared into the dust.

Looking at Liu Bei's distant back, Liu Ze suddenly felt a burst of desolation, he couldn't know what would be waiting for a generation of heroes Liu Bei, but he knew that from this moment on, this history would not be reversed again, whether it was for himself, or Liu Bei, or all the princes in the world, a new curtain has been quietly opened, and a new page in history is about to be opened......

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Huainan Shouchun.

In the center of the city, is the palace of Yuan Shu, the emperor of the Zhongjia family of the Great Chen Dynasty, this palace is expanded on the scale of the original official office, but it is definitely not called the splendid and magnificent, this is not that Yuan Shu does not want to talk about pomp, on the contrary, Yuan Shu is extremely poor and luxurious, and has deducted the food and salary that should be given to the soldiers and the officials' money to expand his palace. But with the financial resources of the two counties of Huainan, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must not be able to squander Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu wants to build a palace of the scale of Changle Palace in Weiyang Palace, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

The new monarch ascended the throne, which should have been a day for all the people to celebrate with Heputian, but Huainan was starving all over the wilderness, there were countless hungry people, and a meter was sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, Yuan Shu is used to being arrogant, there are hundreds of concubines in the harem, singing every night, and caring about the life and death of the people.

The news of Liu Ze's dispatch to Huainan soon spread to Shouchun, Yuan Shu was drinking and having fun in the palace, the drums in front of the palace were playing sheng strings, and the palace maids were singing and dancing. As soon as Yuan Shu heard that Liu Ze had come to ask for help, he was furious, smashed the wine glass in his hand, and said angrily: "Liu Ze, dare to bully!" The former Xuyi's enmity has not snowed, I originally wanted to drive the expedition in person, this erector dared to plot to invade Huainan, it is tolerable or unbearable, I will personally ask for it, in order to vent the hatred in my heart! ”

At this time, Ji Ling, the general of the cavalry, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is angry, kill chickens with a knife, and the minister is willing to lead an army to reject Liu Ze!" ”

Guanglu Doctor Yan Xiang said: "General Ji led an army of 100,000 to attack Xuyi before, but returned in vain, it can be seen that Liu Ze is well versed in strategy and must not be taken lightly. ”

Yan Xiang's words were already very polite, only saying that Ji Ling returned in vain, and did not say that he lost and returned in defeat, but in Ji Ling's ears, it was clear that Yan Xiang intended to mock him, relying on himself to be the general of the Yuan family. This time he dared to attack, and he must have no return! ”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed, so he ordered Ji Ling to command 50,000 troops to Huaibei to defend the enemy, and ordered Zhang Xun to command 50,000 troops to guard the Yin Tomb, and Sili Captain Qiao Rui to guard Shouchun.

After Ji Ling received the order, he ordered 50,000 horses, together with the left general Lei Bo and the right general Chen Lan, to cross the Huaishui non-stop and march in the direction of Yicheng.

In Ji Ling's heart, he was holding his breath, in the last battle of Xuyi, he originally led an army of 100,000 to go out and occupied an absolute advantage, but because the strategist Yang Hong came up with two bad ideas one after another, one attacked the camp at night, and as a result, he mistakenly hit the people's anti-robbery camp plan, and lost the general. But this doesn't matter, Ji Ling still has fifty or sixty thousand men and horses in his hands, and he is fully capable of holding Zhunling City and fighting to the death with Liu Ze, but unfortunately, Chen Ji, who was guarding the East City, was attacked by Liu Ze's strange soldiers The grain and grass camp was burned, and tens of thousands of Hu grains and grass were burned, which also made Ji Ling's hope of holding on to a decisive battle with Liu Ze completely disappointed, and he had to withdraw back to Huainan. In Ji Ling's heart, he didn't lose at all, if it wasn't for the mediocre Yang Hong and the waste Chen Ji, why would he lose? So this time he made up his mind to have a real contest with Liu Ze, not to mention that the battlefield this time was not in Xuzhou but in Jiujiang, Ji Ling occupied the right time and place, and was naturally full of confidence.

Ji Ling did not refuse to defend along the river, but chose to fight a decisive battle with Liu Ze in Yicheng. Yicheng is the northernmost county of Jiujiang County, adjacent to Peiguo's Xiang County, Ji Ling chose to fight a decisive battle with Liu Ze in Yicheng, which is quite a bit of a defense against the enemy outside the country.

And Yicheng is the gateway to Huainan, and to attack Huainan from the north road, it is necessary to go down to Yicheng, so after Liu Ze sent troops from Xiaqiu, the first attack target was locked on Yicheng.

The attack on Yicheng was the First Army of the Xuzhou Army, with a total of three divisions, Xu Rong's First Infantry Division, Chen Zhi's Second Infantry Division and Guan Hai's First Cavalry Division, totaling 30,000 horses, under the personal command of Governor Liu Ze, and Jia Xu, who joined the army, and Zhao Yun, the deputy governor, were also in the Chinese Army. The First Army Corps was Liu Ze's old army on the plains, following Liu Ze's southern expedition to the north, and its combat effectiveness ranked first among all the legions.

According to the plan, Liu Ze's first corps mainly attacked the northern road, and Zhang Liao's fourth corps mainly attacked the southern road, marched west along the Huai River, captured the important town of Yinling in Huainan, and then surrounded Shouchun together with the first corps. The decision-making at the strategic level is made by Liu Ze, specific to the use of tactics, Liu Ze did not interfere anymore, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the test is the ability of the main general to change the right to change, since Liu Ze dares to hand over the Fourth Army to Zhang Liao, it means that he fully believes that Zhang Liao can be qualified for the position of Governor of the Legion, and the offensive tactical arrangements of the entire southern front, Liu Ze handed them over to Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, Tai Shi Ci, and them.
