*****************

Runan Taishou Mansion.

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, looking at the people below with a gloomy face, his face was extremely grim.

On the left and right sides below it, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Gong Du, Liu Bi, Yuan Shang, Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and other generals sat upright, not smiling.

It's no wonder that the soldiers and horses have been prepared, the strategy has been verified, Yuan Liu's combined army is about to start the expedition to Yingchuan, and the war is about to break out, even Yuan Shang, who is leisurely and not panicked on weekdays, can't help but feel a little nervous in his heart at this moment.

Everything is ready, and the order to send troops is about to be issued.

The two armies are united, Yuan Shang and Liu Bei are both considered to be the commanders of the first army, and the status of the two should be equal to each other, but Yuan Shang is troublesome, the second is afraid of responsibility, and the third is selfish, so he insisted on handing over the command of the whole army to Liu Bei.

Regardless of the truth or falsehood, Liu Bei naturally refused to accept it easily, the two of them were like kicking a ball and playing Tai Chi, you pushed me to rub it modestly for a long time, until everyone else was about to vomit, Liu Bei reluctantly accepted the authority to command the whole army under Yuan Shang's insistent request.

And today, the day to prepare for the expedition.

But seeing that Liu Bei coughed lightly, he first said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the past few days, we have been consulting day and night, and we have decided to set the battlefield near Yecheng in the north, where there are two roads, Yingchuan in the north, and Wancheng in the west, which is the only way for Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to attack our Runan, and our army is here, so we can guard against Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren's two lines of soldiers and horses at the same time after sneaking up on our army, in case of accidents, this point, presumably all the princes have no objections, right?" ”

Everyone nodded in deep understanding.

Liu Bei saw that the general strategic direction was correct, so he nodded and began to assign tasks: "Second brother, you lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to camp in the plains of Yebei to block the Xiahou Yuan outpost!" ”

Guan Yu strode forward, stood up and took the token handed out by Liu Bei, and said loudly: "Brother, don't worry!" ”

"Yide, you lead the troops and horses of your headquarters, set up a formation west of Yeyuan, pay careful attention to the movements of Wancheng, and be careful not to take advantage of the chaos when our army fights with Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren takes advantage of the chaos to send troops!"

Zhang Fei got up and responded like rolling thunder: "No! ”

Liu Bei changed hands and took out two more tokens: "Liu Pi, Gong Du!" ”

"In!"

"Order the two of you to lead three thousand foot soldiers, guard Runan, be careful, don't lose the roots, remember to remember!"

Liu Bi and Gong Du bowed their hands together and said, "No." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei turned to the place where Yuan Shang and the others were, and said with a smile: "Zhang Jaw, the two generals of Gao Ran can divide the soldiers and horses under their command into two tuns, left and right, and camp them in the southeast and southeast of Yunchang for five miles each, so that they can support each other if Xiahou Yuan attacks any side." ”

Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran glanced at each other and nodded secretly, obviously having no objection to Liu Bei's orders.

"Xuande Gong rest assured, this matter is on us." opened his jaw but promised, and did not shirk.

Liu Bei touched his short beard and made the most reluctant statement: "Bei and Chen Zhi led the elite of the infantry soldiers, deployed behind the Yun Chang army, and responded to all parties in the center, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others dealt with all matters of money and food, and everyone should keep their duties, remember not to make mistakes!" ”

Hearing this, the three white-faced scholars bowed their hands together and said, "Obey the orders of the lord." ”

Liu Bei looked at everyone back and forth, and said: "The matter of sending troops is roughly like this, what do you think you have forgotten?" If not, go ahead and prepare. ”

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, they all had doubts in their hearts, and in the end, they all went to the same place, and they all set their eyes on Yuan Shang. …,

Obviously, everyone already knew what Liu Bei had forgotten.

He forgot about this third prince of Yuan.

Yuan Shang was slightly stunned when he saw everyone looking at him, and then hurriedly shook his hand and said, "It's okay, don't look at me, I'm still happy and leisurely, I don't care." ”

Liu Bei sighed and looked at Yuan Shang silently for a long time, speechless for a long time.

Seriously, Liu Bei really didn't mean to forget Yuan Shang, but he really didn't know what to let Yuan Shang do.

Yuan Shang's performance in the Battle of Wuchao, Liu Bei is not clear, he knows nothing about Yuan Shang's ability, the only thing he probably knows is that this Yuan Sangongzi likes to steal and play tricks, cause trouble, and he is a top trick in anger, but when it comes to marching and fighting, what kind of material Yuan Shang is, Liu Bei really can't say clearly.

But after all, the other party is the leader of Yuan Jun, and he just left him aside, which is really a bit inappropriate in the final analysis.

But what should he do? Liu Bei was a little troubled.

This battle is very important, it is related to the future strategic development of Liu Bei's army, we must be cautious, the other side is Cao's famous generals, we must be cautious and cautious in employing people, and there can be no omissions, otherwise if there is a stubble in a link, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The defeat of the army and the fall of the city came second, but it is not impossible for a bad person to die unexpectedly.

What to do? Liu Bei began to play Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

Liu Bei pondered for a while, and really asked him to come up with a way for Yuan Shangzhuo.

But seeing Liu Bei coughing lightly, he said: "Virtuous nephew, this expedition, there is really a most important task, I want you to handle it, this matter is very important, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will not shirk." ”

Yuan Shang's expression was slightly correct when he heard this, and he said, "What does Xuande Gong command?" In the next is sure to live up to the trust. ”

Liu Bei touched his beard and said: "Now our army has laid down elite soldiers in the land of Yeyuan, and wants to compete with Xiahou Yuan, but the premise is to let Xiahou Yuan send troops from Yingchuan, and now we have his niece, but Xiahou Yuan has not yet fully understood, after the virtuous nephew is a famous family in Hebei, the writing must be good, there is a letter from Lao Xian's nephew to Xiahou Yuan, stating the interests and disadvantages to him, writing that his niece is in the hands of our army, and there are many methods of agitation in the words to force him to send troops to attack!" ”

Xiushu gave Xiahou Yuan to force him to fight, and Liu Bei had already decided to hand it over to Sun Gan to do, but at this time, the inspiration was moved, but it turned to Yuan Shang's body.

A revised book states that Xiahou Juan was taken by his own side, and Xiahou Yuan sent troops to Yingchuan, this matter is indeed the most important thing, otherwise, his own formation in Yeyuan will be all in vain, and it is appropriate to hand over this matter to Yuan Shang.

Second, there is no risk in this matter, and it is not very difficult, as long as you have a little writing skills, let Xiahou Yuan know the whereabouts of his niece, to put it bluntly, anyone who can speak human words can do it, of course, if by the way, if you quote a few ancient texts to fold Xiahou Yuan's dough, it will be even more icing on the cake.

In Liu Bei's heart, after Yuan Shang is a famous family, this little thing on the pen should not be difficult for him.

I don't want Yuan Shang's face to sink when he heard this, and he seemed to be a little depressed and said: "Xuande Gong, you actually asked me to write an article?" It's very tiring and hard to write! ”

To tell the truth, Yuan Shang is not afraid of anything else, what he is afraid of is really to use his pen.

It's no wonder that writing things is indeed a very boring, very hard, very painstaking chore, just like the stupid author of this book, busy writing materials during the day, staying up late at night to write novels, the already small hair is bald all day long, people in their twenties are like little old men, walking on the street, middle-aged women in their forties want to ask for directions, and they have to call me a big brother first, worrying about it...,

Liu Bei didn't care, and said to Yuan Shang with a smile: "Yuan Sangongzi is joking, the virtuous nephew is a famous family, he has been worshipping famous teachers since he was a child, and he has read poetry and books, how can it be difficult to get you with a simple letter?" In order to be prepared, this matter is really none other than the virtuous nephew, it is a matter of military affairs, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will not shirk too much. ”

Yuan Shang was stunned for a long time, and finally couldn't withstand everyone's meaningful gaze, sighed loudly, lowered his head and said helplessly: "Obey the general's order"

***********************

Out of the Taishou Mansion, there was no one else around, Gao Ran snorted heavily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Liu Bei's weaving mat sellers actually looked down on our son-in-law, and didn't let the son-in-law lead a division to go on the expedition, but instead went to do those things of the knife and pen officials, and he really looked down on people!" ”

Yuan Shang waved his hand lightly and said: "This is not to blame him, after all, it is a major event of the military family, I am a young boy, I have never had a good name, the first time others look at me, they must call me "Yuan Shao's son", not my own name, Liu Bei does not dare to use me, it is also reasonable." ”

Zhang Jaw frowned when he heard this, and said: "Liu Bei refuses to see Gongzi, is it difficult for that Gongzi to succeed and really plan to live in Runan?" ”

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this: "Of course not, didn't we say it before, this battle, we want to invite Lu Lingqi to attack Yingchuan as a strange army, since there is no business for me on the battlefield, then I will go to Jiuli Mountain privately, and I will capture Xiahou Yuan's rear position with Lu Lingqi, come to him to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and give Xiahou Yuan a good taste." ”

Gao Ran laughed loudly and said, "It's so good, when the time comes, look at Liu Da's ears and he won't be ashamed!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jaw said: "Since this is the case, I will allocate a hundred elites from the army to secretly protect Gongzi to go to Jiuli Mountain." ”

Yuan Shang nodded, then sighed again, and said helplessly: "But before that, I have to write a letter to Xiahou Yuan first, to provoke him to send troops to Liu Da'er, who has no long heart, is he blind, I look like a general who can provoke the general."

************************

After a lapse of ten days, a fast horse as Liu Beijun's envoy, hurriedly set off from Runan, hurried to Yangzhai County, Yingchuan, and sent a letter to Xiahou Yuan's mansion.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan had a serious illness because his niece was kidnapped, and he was bedridden, and he heard that Liu Bei's messenger from Runan County sent a letter to him, and his heart was suddenly surprised, and he didn't know what Liu Bei, who had always been incompatible with Cao Sikong, wrote to him for what his intentions were.

So, Xiahou Yuan supported his sick body, and gathered all the generals of Yingchuan in Taishou Mansion, and then summoned Liu Beijun's envoy to meet.

Liu Beijun's envoy didn't say much, but after presenting the letter to Xiahou Yuan, he stood quietly to the side, not speaking.

Xiahou Yuan's illness had not healed, and his mind was still a little dizzy, so he was too lazy to look at it, and then beckoned to the deputy general beside him, and said: "Take it, unfold it and read it out loud, let all the generals listen to it, and see what Liu Bei has to say to the general, and the future of the province is not clear, and someone went to the lord to sue the general." ”

Hearing this, the deputy immediately picked up the bamboo slip, pulled it with both hands, and gently unfolded it, before he was about to open his mouth to read it, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he was stunned on the spot.

After a while

"General Xiahou, I can't read this." The lieutenant was sweating and stumbling a little panicked.

Xiahou Yuan glared at him, and said angrily: "Bastard, what can't you read?" Could it be that the cost general could really collude with Liu Bei? If you want to read it, you can read it, what do you say! ”

The general's face twitched, and he glanced at Xiahou Yuan, who was full of anger, swallowed heavily and spat heavily, and said carefully: "Xiahou barbarian"

Before the words fell, he saw that Xiahou Yuan was suddenly furious, grabbed the wine cup on the table and threw it at the head of the deputy general, and roared angrily: "Bastard thing! It's back to you! What did you just call Ben Jiang! ”…,

The deputy general was hit with a wine cup on his head for no reason, and suddenly cried with a sad face, and said: "The general is angry, it's not that the last general calls you that, it's written in this book!" ”

Xiahou Yuan's face froze when he heard this, and his face collapsed stupidly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "I can't make it clear, the good ones are bad and the generals are a cup." ”

The lieutenant wanted to cry without tears.

Xiahou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, continue to read." ”

"General Xiahou Wang, I really can't read this thing."

"If you want to read it, you will read it!" Xiahou Yuan's tone was obviously a little impatient.

The lieutenant shuddered for a moment, and continued to read with a sad face: "It turns out that your niece is a mute. ”

Xiahou Yuan was seriously ill because of the loss of his niece, and the most disturbing thing in the past few days was that others mentioned this matter in front of him, and when he heard the words at this moment, his eyes couldn't help but open suddenly, and he pounced like a fierce tiger, grabbed the placket of the general's clothes, and gritted his teeth and said: "What are you talking about!" Do you dare to say it again to Ben? Your niece is dumb!! ”

"General, it's not me, it's not me! It's the epistle, the epistle! ”

Xiahou Yuan shook off the deputy general, turned his head and roared at Liu Beijun's envoy: "What is the purpose of Liu Bei's letter? Mo is not deliberately humiliating the general! ”

The envoy listened to two sentences, and was already sweating profusely, and hurriedly said when he heard the words: "General Xiahou is angry, he is just an envoy below, and I don't know the content of the letter." ”

Xiahou Yuan glared at the messenger angrily, and the sickness was long gone, and after a long time, he spat out word by word: "Continue, continue, read!" ”

The deputy almost didn't kneel on the ground when he heard this, and he had the heart to cry.

"General, you can't read it anymore!"

Xiahou Yuan said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't read it, you will die!" ”

The adjutant snorted aggrievedly, and continued to read in a trembling voice: "I heard that mute is a congenital disease, and one of the cases is because the parents are too close by blood, is your niece's father and mother brother and sister married?" Why don't you persuade."

Reading this, he saw that the guard threw the letter in his hand, knelt down directly at Xiahou Yuan, and wept: "General, you should kill me!" ”
