Chapter 385: Years Ago
When Yuan Shao heard this, the cold light in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
Let Guo Tu on the other side breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Yuan Shao would take him and blame him for this defeat, in that case, he would definitely die.
"Hmph, an alien is an alien, pursuing interests, and doing whatever it takes to achieve the goal, but I like it, haha, pass my order, the army will attack, and the target will be the state border!" Yuan Shao laughed and left.
Guo Tu saw it and hurriedly followed.
After the order was issued, it took three hours for the tens of billions of troops to set off from Luoyang and head towards the border.
The mighty army has made countless forces fearful.
No one expected that Yuan Shao had just been defeated, and he had sent an army of such a scale, which was worthy of being the first family in the sky.
On the Bingzhou side, Cao Cao immediately sent two billion troops to the border and built a military camp to face Yuan Shao's attack
On the 27th of the same month, there were still three days before the New Year, and many forces were gathering their armies to prepare for the New Year.
Even Jingzhou and Yangzhou are the same.
Facing the New Year, Liu Biao and Sun Quan also ended the months-long battle and began to recuperate.
In the past few months, more than 10 billion soldiers have been killed in the battle between the two states, which can even be comparable to the Great War in the north, but the number is the same, and in terms of quality, there is a lot of difference.
Liu Biao made up his mind to fill Yangzhou with cannon fodder, anyway, those cannon fodder are worthless, and they waste grain and grass, as long as these cannon fodder can consume Sun Quan's vital strength, it is not in vain.
As for Sun Quan, he used Liu Biao's cannon fodder army to train soldiers, and as long as there were elite-level soldiers, they would be gathered to the rear, waiting for an emergency.
If there was a crisis at the front, these elites would be the means to turn the tide and be the basis for Sun Quan's rule of Yangzhou.
And to the west of Jingzhou, the three brothers of Liu Bei are still frantically attacking Yizhou, wanting to open the door to Yizhou, but unfortunately, Zhang Lu is not so easy to deal with.
He was originally a Taoist priest, and he had unified Yizhou, and there were countless Taoist priests who worked for him, which made Liu Bei's three brothers miserable.
If you are in the plain area, you don't care if you are a Taoist priest or not, you can kill it directly, but in Yizhou, this mountainous and forested area, the power of Taoism has increased dozens of times.
For example, the battle three days ago.
Originally, Guan Yu was about to break through the city gate, but to the west of the city, countless Taoist priests stood on the top of the mountain, as long as the city was in danger, they launched Taoist techniques, so that the rain filled the road of the party, so that Guan Yu's army could not attack the city.
Or collapse the mountains, roll them over, and block the roads.
Anyway, Guan Yu's army was not allowed to approach, even if Guan Yu broke through the city alone, but without the help of the soldiers, he could only retreat.
"Hmph." Guan Yu snorted coldly and retreated to Liu Bei's camp again.
This is the seventeenth time that they have returned in vain, and in front of this pass, the three brothers have attacked for nearly half a year, but in the face of Zhang Lu, who is cheating generally, there is nothing to be done.
Even the grumpy Zhang Fei looked at Guan Pass, and sighed again and again, and even got angry.
At the gate of the camp, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu who came back with a bitter face, which made Guan Yu's heart twist when he saw it.
In the past six months, they have failed countless times, which has made many people look down on them.
"Second brother, you're back. Didn't get hurt, right? Let me see! When Liu Bei saw Guan Yu, he stepped forward directly to check the wounds on Guan Yu's body.
"Big brother, I'm fine, even if that Zhang Lu appears, he can't hurt me, unless it's a red-grade Taoist, or I'll kill him with one sword!" Guan Yu said calmly.
Guan Yu's words made Liu Bei's face soften a lot, took Guan Yu's hand, and entered the camp.
After they left, countless soldiers fought at the door, whispering, saying bad things about Liu Bei.
"Haha, don't you see that big ear! What is Liu Bei's name? ”
"See, what's wrong?"
"It is said that the big ear is the distant brother of the state pastor, or the emperor's uncle of the current saint, but now when I look at it, it is nothing, whether it is governing the state and county, or attacking the city, it is not successful, I don't think I will be able to take this pass in a few years!"
"I can't say that, the second and third generals are very powerful, and even the main generals of the enemy army fled when they saw them, and they didn't dare to fight."
As they spoke, these soldiers also changed the topic and talked about some New Year's events.
And Guan Yu, who entered the camp, clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead and his flushed face showed that his heart was very complicated.
With his and Liu Bei's ears, they can hear it even if they are far away, not to mention the name of the eldest brother, and they can't escape his ears.
If it weren't for the eldest brother holding on to his arm, he would have stepped forward and killed those tongue-chewing soldiers, let them see, and privately discuss the consequences of the commander of the army.
When the two of them walked into the conference tent, Liu Bei was the hand that loosened the feathers.
"Big brother, why don't you let me teach them a few lessons?" Guan Yu asked puzzled.
"Second brother, now that we send people to the fence, sometimes there is no meritorious service, and it is normal for those soldiers to complain a little! Don't care, as long as we take that pass, they won't have anything to say! Liu Bei shook his head and looked at Guan Yu seriously.
"Got it, big brother. I'll be patient. Guan Yu looked at it and said so.
"That's right, it's about to be the New Year, these soldiers are also not high-spirited, anyway, our attack on Yizhou is just training, as long as our own soldiers have no losses, nothing else matters!" Liu Bei said happily.
Thinking of those armies that belonged to him, Liu Bei was very excited.
This is the result of his half a year, a million elite army, which the three brothers have finally accumulated.
And these soldiers only obey the orders of their three brothers, and the others do not say that they will be attacked, even if they get close.
"Yes, this is our team, right, third brother?" Guan Yu said and suddenly asked.
As he asked, he looked into the tent and found that there was no one in it except the two of them.
In the past, when he came back, the third brother would either wait with the eldest brother at the door, or wait in the big tent, why didn't he see anyone today.
"Ah, I almost forgot, we're a guest, let's go, second brother, I'll take you there." Liu Bei patted his head and pulled Guan Yu out.
Walking towards the place where the three brothers were resting, they told as they went.
"Second brother, no matter what happens for a while, don't get excited"
Guan Yu was even more puzzled, but there were people nearby, that is, he didn't ask, otherwise he would definitely have to ask clearly.
After a while, the road was very deserted, and even the soldiers couldn't see it, and finally arrived at the place where the three brothers rested, which was a specially built palace for the three of them.
In front of them, an elegant courtyard appeared, which was different from the tents in the camp, it was a house made of solid wood, which had a different flavor compared with the rest of the camp.
This is the privilege of the three brothers, only the three of them can enter, and if outsiders enter, they will be killed directly.
"My lord." The guards at the door immediately knelt down to welcome Liu Bei and the others in.
After Liu Bei and the others entered, they stood up and continued to guard the gate.
Pushing open the gate, although the interior decoration is very simple, it can be seen that the builder has put great care.
The materials inside are all woodwork, and as soon as you enter the hall, the aroma of wood comes to your face, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which is very comfortable.
"Big brother, second brother, you're back!"
At the moment when the door closed, Zhang Fei's huge voice sounded, which made the nearby furniture tremble, listening to the voice of the third brother, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were angry.
"Third brother, shut up, how many pieces of furniture have been changed in the past six months, and you have been shocked!" Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei angrily, making Zhang Fei embarrassed.
I want to say something, but the thought of opening my mouth makes it easy to break the furniture, so just keep your mouth shut.
"Okay, three generals, I came this time, but I came on the orders of my lord, I wonder if General Liu Bei accepts the assistance of my lord?" Shia's voice rang out.
Let Liu Bei and the three of them all look over.
When he saw Shi Ah dressed in black, Guan Yu was silent.
In the past few years in Youzhou, he knew that the man in front of him was the hand of Youzhou Mu, and he was a rare strong man in his account, and even a single round of force could rank in the top five.
"I don't know what is the purpose of Lord Shi's arrival?" Squinting his eyes, he looked at Shi A.
"Hehe, I'm here this time, because my lord wants to make friends with the three generals, and by the way, help the three Nayizhou, but you also know the principles of my lord, it's not profitable to be early, hehe" As he spoke, Shi Ah laughed.
This evil smile made the three brothers' faces change abruptly, and reminded them of the days when they were captured.
"I don't know if Lord Youzhou has a request, you must know that now we are just miscellaneous generals, and one day Lord is a state pastor, how can you need our help?" Liu Bei suddenly asked at this time.
Guan Yu beside him was very confused, looking at the third brother's face, he found that it was very normal, and he knew that Shi A had been here for a while.
It is estimated that he came when he attacked the pass, and discussed with the eldest brother and the third brother for a while, while the eldest brother wanted to wait for himself to come back and make a decision together.
Thinking of this, he didn't say anything, just waited for Shi A's answer.
"It's nothing, my lord needs materials, you also know this, my lord's meaning is to let General Liu Bei be the pastor of Yizhou!" Shi Ah said Li Yi's purpose in one word.
wants to make Liu Bei the master of Yizhou, as soon as these words came out, Liu Bei was stunned.
Originally, Liu Bei's life in Liu Biao's account was quite satisfactory, but his hope of rising was very slim, and this expedition to Yizhou was to let him see the opportunity.
As long as he seizes this opportunity and allows himself to master a large army, he will have the qualifications to compete for hegemony.
But Shi A's words were like thunder, and his mind was dizzy with shock.
"Big brother, big brother"
Hearing the voices of the two brothers, Liu Bei came to his senses.
"Lord Shia, I don't know when to act? When will I become a Yizhou pastor! Liu Bei looked at Shi A with shiny eyes.
That look made Shi Adu shudder, this look was so amazing that he was almost frightened to draw his sword and attack.
"Ahem, after the New Year, at the beginning of February, my lord's guild sent someone to help the three of them to take all the passes in Yizhou, but in terms of governance, it still depends on the three of them, and some of the regulations still need to be discussed in detail, anyway, it's still early, you can take your time" Shi A said slowly.
Clearly saying Li Yi's meaning made Liu Bei's eyes light up.
