Chapter 647: Decisive Battle at Mount Tai
Liu Bei's words were resolute, but when he looked at the Xuzhou Mu Dayin, his eyes revealed this unconcealable greed.
Holding the big seal in both hands, seeing the greed in Liu Bei's eyes, the potter bowed down and said to Liu Bei: "If Uncle Huang refuses to accept this seal, he will not get up today." ”
"So ......" the potter said, it was to give Liu Bei the most suitable step, he stood up, pretended to stroke the beard on his chin, pretended to be silent for a moment, and then said to the potter: "So-and-so will be collected for Gongzi, and will wait until the Cao thief is repulsed, and then return to Gongzi." ”
Holding the big seal of Xuzhou Mu in both hands, the potter did not answer.
Everyone knows that when Xuzhou is in the hands of Liu Bei, where can it return to the hands of the Tao family!
After Liu Bei won Xuzhou for half an hour, several fast horses galloped out of Xuzhou.
Except for the man in the lead, who was wearing a brocade deep coat and riding on horseback, all of them were soldiers wearing red Luoyang Army robes.
Several horses rode out of Xuzhou City, and ran straight to the place where Lu Bu was stationed.
At this time, Cao Cao's army was still stationed on the edge of Xuzhou, and did not launch a real attack on the Xuzhou army, but only confronted the Xuzhou army from afar.
Liu Beibing won Xuzhou City without blood, and a few days later in Luoyang, after Liu Wei got the news, he was speechless for a long time.
"How did Liu Bei get Xuzhou City?" Standing by the lake in the back garden, Liu Wei asked the guards who reported the news lightly.
"It is rumored that Tao Qian is in danger and trusts Gu to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei!" Standing behind Liu Wei with his fists clenched, the guard said to Liu Wei: "The news sent back by Jia Zhonglang is that Liu Bei secretly communicated with the Mi brothers, and after Tao Qian's death, forced the Tao Shang brothers to hand over the Xuzhou Mu Dayin. ”
"I know it!" After listening to the guard's words, Liu Wei raised his hand and waved, and when the guard left, he asked Wang Liu and Wang Zhen who were standing behind him: "What do you two think, how did Liu Bei get Xuzhou?" ”
"Tao Qian let Xuzhou, I'm afraid it may not be big." The two sisters glanced at each other, and Wang Zhencai said to Liu Wei: "Tao Qian has been running Xuzhou for several years, although the pottery merchants and Tao Ying brothers are mediocre, they will not give up the belongings they have purchased for many years to an outsider. ”
"Quite reasonable!" Liu Wei nodded, looked at the lake in front of him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to the two sisters: "This is the true intention of this king why he wants to lead Lu Bu and Cao Cao to Xuzhou, then Liu Bei is treacherous, and pretending to be the emperor, he should have been full of people, but he had contributed to the Han family before, if this king killed him, it would not be in line with the etiquette......"
"Ugh!" As soon as Liu Wei said this, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were stunned for a moment.
Although they have been following Liu Wei all the time, they also know that Liu Wei doesn't like Liu Bei, but they didn't expect that in order to kill a mere Liu Bei, Liu Wei would make such a big move.
"Maybe you think this king is making too much of a fuss!" Looking at the lake, Liu Wei didn't wait for the sisters to speak, and continued: "You don't know that Liu Bei is good at drilling camps and running for his life, even if you want to kill him, I'm afraid it will not be easy." And he is not at fault, and it is difficult to find out the root cause of pretending to be the emperor, after all, King Jing of Zhongshan has been hundreds of years ago......"
It wasn't until Liu Wei said this that Wang Liu frowned and said to Liu Wei: "Such a villain, what did His Highness leave him to do?" This time I got Xuzhou, and I deceived the world on the grounds that Tao Qian gave way, why don't my sisters go and kill him......"
"Kill a Liu Bei, you don't need to do it." Turning around, facing Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said to the two sisters: "There will be more important things in the future, you two must do it, now you two train the palace guards, and wait until we go out in the future, this palace will be protected by the guards, and this king can also rest easy." ”
"No!" Thinking that they had gone to Yangzhou without authorization, if it weren't for Jia Xu's mediation and Deng Zhan's response, the two of them would have died long ago, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen no longer dared to disobey Liu Wei's intentions, and hurriedly hugged their fists in response.
Liu Bei got Xuzhou, and in the territory of Taishan County in Xuzhou, Guo Jia and Xiahou Xuan's Cao army soldiers came to Fenggaocheng and besieged Fenggaocheng.
"Strategist, I'll wait for two days to besiege the city, why don't you fight?" In Guo Jia's tent, Xiahoudun and a group of generals are mostly here, as the main general, the siege has not yet launched an attack for two days, Xiahoudun is also quite puzzled in his heart, in front of the generals, asked Guo Jia about the reason.
"Mi Zhu is good friends with Liu Bei, and in order to seize Xuzhou for Liu Bei, he has already gone to Xuzhou City." Sitting in the tent, looking around at Xiahoudun and the generals, Guo Jia said to everyone: "This Fenggaocheng has already become a certain bag, and it is not Fenggaocheng that will be attacked, but Mi Zhu who came to help!" ”
"What do you mean ......?" Guo Jia said that he was going to fight Mi Zhu, who came to help, and Xiahou was stunned and asked him: "Then Liu Bei still dares to meet our army?" ”
"Liu Bei is good at drilling camps, but his combat is average!" With a smile on his face, Guo Jia looked at Xiahoudun and said to him: "If there are one or two capable people under Liu Bei's command, we may just wait for an empty wait, but unfortunately there are no capable people in Xuzhou, and we will definitely defeat the main force of Xuzhou in one fell swoop, so that they will no longer have the strength to resist Cao Gong!" ”
"The generals will obey!" As he spoke, Guo Jiajiang looked around at the generals in the tent and snorted.
All the generals turned their eyes to Guo Jia's face, quietly waiting for Guo Jia to convey the order to them.
"Li Dian led two thousand soldiers and horses to Zhushui, intercepted the Xuzhou army on the shore, remembered that Xu was defeated and not allowed to win, and led the Xuzhou army to the area of Liangfu Mountain." first looked at Li Dian, Guo Jia gave an order, and then said to Le Jin, who was sitting next to Li Dian: "Le Jin led the army to ambush in the valley of Youlai Mountain, and when the Xuzhou army chased after him, there was no need to meet the enemy, just prepare the rolling stones, wait for the Xuzhou army to be defeated and turn back, and then stop and intercept the killing." ”
"No!" Li Dian and Le Jin got the order, quickly stood up, and responded with fists clenched.
"Xiahou Yuan listens to orders!" Xiahoudun and Guo Jia went on the expedition, Cao Cao almost transferred most of the generals under his command to the front of the two-person tent to listen to the use, it was Xiahouyuan who was also in the two-person army at this time, Guo Jia ordered Li Dian and Le Jin to lure the enemy and intercept the enemy, and said to Xiahouyuan who was sitting in the tent: "Lead the main force of soldiers and horses, at the exit of Youlai Mountain, meet the Xuzhou army, and be sure to win with one blow!" ”
"Don't worry!" Knowing that he was going to lead the main force of soldiers and horses, Xiahou Yuan was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and responded with his fists hugged.
At the same time as Guo Jia dispatched troops, in Xuzhou City, Liu Bei was also deploying troops and horses, preparing to meet Cao Cao.
The territory of Xuzhou is quite extensive, hundreds of miles from north to south, if only the soldiers and horses are compressed to Xuzhou City, the periphery will be broken by Cao's army soon.
After receiving the news that Cao's army was besieging Fenggao, Liu Bei immediately made the decision to send troops to meet the enemy.
Xuzhou was once Tao Qian's territory, and many officials were loyal to Tao Qian, although Liu Bei claimed that it was Tao Qian who entrusted him with danger and gave Xuzhou to him, but most officials did not believe it, and many Xuzhou officials left with their seals.
The entire Xuzhou Thorn History Department is unavailable in many places.
In this situation, as long as the Cao army advances, many cities in Xuzhou will soon fall into the hands of the Cao army.
But Guo Jia did not order Cao's army to advance, but besieged Fenggao City without fighting, as if he wanted to use the siege to make the defenders in the city cut off food and water, and finally had to open the city and surrender.
Mi Zhu and the others are not in Taishan County at the moment, but in Xuzhou City, and Fenggao has no owner to assume the responsibility of defending the city. If no reinforcements were sent, it wouldn't be long before the defenders of the city would be disheartened and open the city gates to welcome Cao's army into the city.
In the Xuzhou conference hall, Liu Bei knelt in the first seat and looked around at the people in the hall.
Although many people in Xuzhou were dissatisfied with him, he was a little complacent at this time.
Compared with Xuzhou, the plain he controlled at the beginning was just a small county town, not to mention soldiers and horses, even the council hall was not as grand as Xuzhou.
"Cao Cao's army divided into two routes and headed for Xuzhou." Looking around at the people in the hall, Liu Bei asked everyone present: "Right now, Xiahou Xuan's department is besieging Fenggao, if our army does not go to the rescue, Fenggao will definitely fall into the hands of Cao thieves, what can I do?" ”
Speaking of Fenggao, Mi Zhu, who was sitting in the hall, looked a little difficult to look at.
Mount Tai is a place, guarded by Mi Zhu, and now others are in Xuzhou, but Cao Jun is already a soldier in Mount Tai, how can he not be bored.
When Liu Bei asked what to do when Fenggao was surrounded, Mi Zhu stood up, hugged his fists and said to Liu Bei: "The last general is willing to lead the army to fight to the death with Cao Thief in Mount Tai!" ”
Looking at Mi Zhu, Liu Bei pondered for a moment before nodding and saying to him: "There are not many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, General Mi can lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to gallop to help Fenggao!" ”
"20,000?" When Liu Bei said this, Mi Fang on the side hurriedly stood up and said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, Xiahou Xuan's troops and horses have attacked more than 50,000, and my brother has led 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can I match them?" ”
"What the general said is very true!" After listening to Mi Fang's words, Liu Bei sighed and said to Mi Fang: "But there are few soldiers in Xuzhou, and now Cao Cao's thief army is also advancing towards Xuzhou." The enemy army is advancing in two directions, and if our army goes all out to fight with the Cao thief in Mount Tai, I am afraid that it will ......."
Liu Bei's words silenced everyone in the hall.
Tao Qian had a brain fever at the beginning, which provoked Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao's troops are coming, if he does not compress his forces to stabilize the defense of Xuzhou, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Cao Cao.
Just when Mi Zhu had no choice but to receive the military order and was about to leave the hall, a soldier outside the hall ran to the door, bowed with his fists, and said to Liu Bei who was sitting in the hall: "Uncle Qiqi, Lu Bu Lu Wen waited for the leader to come outside the city, saying that he was here to serve!" ”
"Lu Wenhou?" Knowing that Lu Bu was coming, Liu Bei remembered the incident of the suppression of Lu Bu's army that he participated in in Luoyang City that day, and muttered for a while before standing up and saying, "Hurry up and go with a certain person to meet Wen Hou!" ”
