The Qin army broke through Shouchun and soon occupied the Huainan territory north of Shouchun, while Cao Cao's army took fifty miles south of Shouchun as the boundary, attacking the city all the way, and annexed the territory south of Shouchun in a short time.

Knowing that Cao Cao's army was in the south, Lu Bu, who almost died in Cao Cao's hands that day, was a little uncontrollable, and always wanted to lead the army to attack Cao Cao.

But Liu Wei had no intention of attacking Cao Cao, at least in the short term, he had no reason to attack Cao Cao.

Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and issued an order to the world in the name of Liu Xie, if Liu Wei attacked Cao Cao at this time, his only reason was to be the emperor.

The world was already in turmoil, and even though Liu argued that the emperor would have many followers, there were still more speculators who would secretly or even openly make enemies of him.

Dividing the camp too early and becoming the head of the camp still does more harm than good to Liu Wei today.

Stationed in Shouchun City for several days, Liu Wei prepared the Huainan army that had defected to the Qin army.

The old and weak soldiers were all distributed with land and property, so that they could be returned to their families to raise their children, as a candidate military household for temporary conscription in the event of an emergency.

The Huainan Army was strong, except for those who really didn't want to continue to be soldiers, and the remaining officers and soldiers were all incorporated into the Qin Army.

Tens of thousands of Huainan troops were recruited, and the number of Qin troops grew sharply.

Since it was in Shouchun, it was inconvenient to transport the armor, so Liu Wei ordered the soldiers to return to Luoyang, urging the craftsmen to make armor and weapons as much as possible, and to sew more war clothes by tailors.

Before the crusade against Shouchun, Liu Wei had promised the people that once Yuan Shu was captured, he would distribute land and property to the people.

Average land production has always been the foundation for Liu Wei to maintain the stability of his territory, and he naturally will not deceive the people like some heroes, and immediately regret it when he gets the world.

For several days in a row, Luoyang would send officials to Shouchun and the surrounding cities occupied by the Qin army every day, and the Great Qin officials would lead the people to divide the land outside the city into several equal parts according to the barren and fertile land, and distribute them to the people nearby.

The people, who never thought that they would really get the land one day, were in tears of excitement when they were given the land, and almost all the villagers knelt down in front of Shouchun City at the time of the land distribution, and shouted in unison "Long live the King of Qin".

In the newly occupied area around Huainan, Liu Wei did not stay for too long, the land distribution was carried out in an orderly manner, and the surrender of the Huainan Army was completed, and the army left Shouchun under the leadership of Liu Wei and headed towards Luoyang.

At the same time as Liu Wei withdrew his troops, Cao's army also completed the annexation of southern Huainan and retreated to Xudu.

There was nothing else to do with the withdrawal of the two armies, except that the Cao army returned to Xudu.

Liu Bei, who followed Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou and then entered the Huainan War, had just returned to Xudu City and welcomed a guest in the evening.

It was none other than Dong Cheng, the father of Liu Xie's Dong Guiren, who met Liu Bei.

Dong Chengnai is the nephew of Emperor Lingdi of Han Dynasty's mother, Empress Dowager Dong, this person entered Luoyang with Dong Zhuo that year, Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Wei and established Liu Xie, in addition to his own intentions, it is not unrelated to Dong Cheng's secret promotion.

The place where Liu Bei stayed, in the corner of Xudu City, there were very few people on the street in front of the gate on weekdays.

When Dong Chenglai came, it was the end of the curtain, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

Knowing that Dong Cheng was visiting, Liu Bei, who had just returned to his residence, didn't care about changing his clothes, and hurriedly led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei out of the door.

Outside the gate, before Liu Bei could stand firmly, a person walked out of a carriage.

This person is dressed in a crimson official mansion, with a burly figure, more than half a head taller than Liu Bei, and it can be seen from his slightly rough skin face that this person must be a military general belonging to the Xiliang system.

The person who got out of the carriage was none other than Dong Cheng.

Seeing Liu Bei welcome out of the mansion, Dong Cheng walked up with a smile on his face, arched his hand towards Liu Bei and said: "I heard that Uncle Huang went south with Cao Gong to fight, and he had quite a lot of military achievements, and the last general came to congratulate him!" ”

"General Dong!" Although Liu Bei was recognized by Liu Xie as the emperor's uncle, but his identity was not recognized by most Hanchen, in front of Liu Xie's father-in-law, he didn't dare to hold up, seeing Dong Cheng bowing to him, he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed deeply and said: "I don't know if the general is here, I miss the distance, and I still hope that General Haihan!" ”

"Well said! Say! Dong Cheng put down his fists and said to Liu Bei: "The last general came here this time to discuss with the emperor's uncle......

As soon as he said this, Dong Cheng didn't continue, but raised his eyes to look at Liu Bei.

Seeing Dong Cheng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Liu Bei knew that he must have something that he couldn't say on the street, so he hurriedly made a gesture of invitation to him and said, "General, please come in and speak!" ”

As Liu Bei entered the house, Dong Cheng and Liu Bei walked side by side towards the back house, and he just looked left and right along the way, and did not say what his intentions were here.

Finding that Dong Cheng looked nervous, Liu Bei didn't ask much, just walked side by side with him towards the depths of the inner house.

Entering the depths of the inner house, Liu Bei did not lead Dong Cheng to the main hall of the back garden, but accompanied by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he entered a wing room with him.

When they arrived at the door of the wing room, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not follow up, but stood on both sides of the door with long swords on their waists.

invited Dong Cheng into the wing, and Liu Bei personally closed the door.

"General, please take a seat!" Closing the door, Liu Bei made a gesture of invitation to Dong Cheng and invited him to take a seat.

In terms of identity, Dong Cheng is Liu Xie's father-in-law, and his official position in the court is much higher than Liu Bei's, but today he came here to ask for something, where will he sit down on the upper seat.

"Uncle Huang is the royal family, there are no outsiders today, Uncle Huang should be invited to take a seat!" invited Liu Bei, Dong Cheng said: "The last general is a foreign minister, and the imperial uncle is His Majesty's closest relative, and the imperial uncle should not be too humble!" ”

Dong Cheng said this, Liu Bei was not easy to refuse, but let him sit down on the top with a grin, but he refused, so he said to Dong Cheng: "Since the general refuses to take a seat, Bei and the general will sit opposite each other, how about it?" ”

"That's great!" Knowing that Liu Bei was cautious, Dong Cheng did not force him, so he answered, and sat casually in the house with Liu Bei.

"The general must have something important to do when he comes at dusk!" When he sat down, Liu Bei said to Dong Cheng: "Please let the general just say clearly, if you can do it, you will definitely relieve the general's worries!" ”

"Alas!" As soon as Liu Bei's words fell, Dong Cheng let out a long sigh, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

Seeing that Dong Cheng's eyes were red, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Why is the general like this?" ”

"Uncle Huang!" With both hands clenched into fists, Dong Cheng made a five-body bow to Liu Bei, and said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty is like a tired egg, if you are not the emperor's uncle, you can't save it, and I hope that the emperor's uncle will save your majesty from fire and water!" ”

Dong Cheng suddenly said such a sentence, Liu Bei was stunned, he hurriedly stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, and whispered to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were guarding the door: "The two virtuous brothers are guarding here, don't let anyone approach." ”

"Big brother, don't worry!" Knowing that Liu Bei and Dong Cheng were definitely discussing the news that could not be known to outsiders, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei clasped their fists and said to him: "With the two of us here, no one wants to get close!" ”

Nodding to the two, Liu Bei closed the door again, returned to the house, and asked Dong Cheng in a low voice, "What does the general mean?" Why is this suddenly said? ”

"This is not the place to talk!" Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were guarding the door, Dong Cheng still felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said to Liu Bei: "Please Uncle Huang go to the palace early tomorrow morning to meet Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will talk to Uncle Huang in detail!" ”

It was already seen that Dong Cheng's words were aimed at Cao Cao, Liu Bei hesitated, frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment before nodding his head and saying: "General Lao has come to inform him that he will go to meet His Majesty early tomorrow morning!" ”

"It is inconvenient for the last general to stay in the emperor's uncle's mansion for a long time, so retire first!" Liu Bei promised to meet Liu Xie early tomorrow morning, Dong Cheng stood up, bowed to him with his fists, said goodbye, and walked towards the door.

The door opened, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were guarding the door and thought that Liu Bei and Dong Cheng would talk a lot, were stunned for a moment when they saw Dong Cheng leaving the room, and watched Dong Cheng walk quickly towards the outer courtyard with doubts.

"Someone!" Dong Cheng walked away, and Liu Bei, who followed him out of the door, shouted loudly.

A soldier who was standing a little farther away heard Liu Bei's shout, hurriedly ran over, arrived in front of Liu Bei, clenched his fists and bowed down to wait for his instructions.

Looking at the soldier, Liu Bei's brows tightened, and he said to the soldier: "Hurry up and invite Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers, there is something important to discuss!" ”

"No!" The soldier answered, ran quickly to the outer courtyard, and invited the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to go.

Looking at the back of the soldier gradually moving away, Liu Bei frowned, and it was not until the soldier ran away that he clenched his fist with one hand and gently slapped the palm of the other hand and said, "If you want to be loyal, you will die, so what?" ”

Hearing Liu Bei say such a sentence inexplicably, Zhang Fei was stunned, but he didn't ask, Guan Yu asked on the side: "Why did my brother say such a thing?" ”

"Dong Cheng is here to ask my brothers to cut off their heads and send them to Cao Cao!" Glancing at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei sighed and said, "A certain is a Miao descendant of the Han family, even if he dies for the Han family, it doesn't matter!" Poor two brothers, they are going to go on the road with the foolish brother! ”

Liu Bei's words were even more clueless, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were confused, and they didn't know what he wanted to express.

"I'm waiting for Taoyuan to get righteous, it's a brother with a different surname!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei in a rough voice: "Brother has something to say, how can he be like this?" ”

"Third brother...... Zhang Fei said more heavily, Guan Yu frowned at him, and said to him: "How can you talk to your brother like this!" ”

After being reprimanded by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, but when he looked at Liu Bei, his eyes were still full of questions.

"That's it, I'll tell the two virtuous brothers in the future!" Looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment before saying to them: "Foolish brother acts, the two virtuous brothers only need to know that it must be reasonable!" ”
