As soon as Liu Bei's three brothers returned to the county office, Jian Yong greeted them.

"Lord!"

Liu Biao asked: "Xianhe, I heard that the war between Qin Wuyi and Cao Cao is over, how is the victory?" ”

Jian Yong reported in a low voice: "Cao Cao's 50,000 army was almost wiped out, and only 2,000 people fled back, the generals Li Dian and Zhu Ling were captured, Le Jin was seriously injured, and Li Tong was killed in battle!" ”

Liu Bei's eyes widened when he heard this, and he gasped, he thought that this time Qin Feng was only afraid of being in a catastrophe, Qin Feng was able to fight, and even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were afraid that they would not be able to gain the upper hand if they fought alone, but it was a battle of tens of thousands of people, and the role that personal force could play was minimal.

How powerful Cao Cao's troops are, Liu Bei is clear, he has suffered many losses in Cao Cao's hands, and Qin Feng actually defeated Cao Cao, which is a bit unbelievable.

"This ······ How can it be? Liu Bei couldn't help muttering to himself.

Jian Yong said in a low voice: "This matter is absolutely true! ”

Several people were talking as they walked towards the county office.

Liu Bei asked: "In terms of strength, Qin Feng is definitely inferior to Cao Cao, and there are few capable generals under his command, how did he defeat Cao Cao?" Could it be that he has the help of superior people? ”

Jian Yong reminded: "Has the lord forgotten Xu Shu? ”

"Mr. Yuanzhi?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he was now sure that Qin Feng had defeated Cao Cao under Xu Shu's plan.

Thinking of Xu Shu, Liu Bei regretted it, if he knew that Xu Shu was so resourceful, he would have left Xu Shu no matter what, just because of his own negligence, he let such a good person be snatched away by Qin Feng, he really regretted not being at the beginning.

Liu Bei thought about it, Qin Feng defeated Cao Cao, Cao Cao lost 50,000 horses, presumably he would not dare to go south easily in a few years, such a big loss, Cao Cao also needs time to recuperate, and there is Yuan Shao in the north!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I heard that Liu Jingsheng sent someone?"

Jian Yong said: "Yes, Liu Jingsheng sent someone to invite the lord to go to the state pastor's mansion, and left a message and left!" ”

Early the next morning, Liu Bei's three brothers rushed to Xiangyang City, leaving Zhao Yun, Mi Fang, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others to train in Xinye.

"Liu Bei has seen Brother Shi!" After arriving at the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to greet Liu Biao.

Liu Biao smiled and walked down the steps to greet Liu Bei, taking Liu Bei's hand, "Xuande, you are here, go, enter the inner hall to serve tea!" ”

When they arrived at the inner hall, the guests and hosts were seated, and the maidservant girl withdrew after making tea.

Liu Biao poured tea for Liu Bei, and Liu Bei hurriedly got up to thank him.

"You and my brother, Xuande doesn't have to be so polite, sit, sit!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Liu Biao raised his hand to invite Liu Bei to drink tea, and asked, "News from the north, Cao Cao defeated the Qin Feng Flame Army, Xuande heard about it, right?" ”

It is said that Xinye is in the north of Xiangyang City, Liu Bei should have received the news earlier than Liu Biao, but Liu Bei's strength is weak and he can't afford to raise a special fine work, and Liu Biao's side is different, he received the news earlier than Liu Bei, if it weren't for a businessman from the north, I'm afraid that Liu Bei would have to wait a few days to receive the news.

Liu Bei said: "I heard about it, and the junior brother didn't expect that Cao Mengde would be defeated by Qin Feng, which is too surprising!" ”

Liu Biao asked: "Now that Cao Mengde is defeated, I am afraid that he will not dare to attack the south in a short time, but his defeat has achieved Qin Feng's prestige, it is rumored that Qin Feng has captured tens of thousands of Cao troops, if he absorbs all these people, this is a lot of strength!" Xuande, in your opinion, will Qin Feng peek at my Jingzhou? ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head: "Brother Shi is too worried, how can Qin Feng peep into Jingzhou?" Although Cao Cao was defeated, he was still the number one force in the world, although Qin Feng won a game and captured tens of thousands of people, but his own strength was not strong, there were few generals and strategists under his account, and only half of Nanyang's territory could raise troops, and he suddenly had tens of thousands more, I was afraid that this bit of territory was not enough for him to raise troops! ”

Liu Biao sighed: "This is what I am most worried about, Qin Feng can't support these many soldiers and horses, he will definitely think of expanding his territory, this person is born as a thief, burning, killing, and plundering all kinds of evil, can you guarantee that he will not fight Jingzhou's idea?" ”

"This ······" Liu Bei really didn't dare to guarantee that although he had gotten along with Qin Feng for a while, Qin Feng was still very reliable in looking at the mountains, but after all, people's hearts were separated from their stomachs.

"Brother, I don't think this Qin Feng is a person who can stay in Nanyang with peace of mind, he will definitely hit me Jingzhou, you can't help my brother!" Liu Biao took Liu Bei's hand and said.

In the past, Liu Bei held other people's hands to perform to his heart's content, but now he was being held by Liu Biao for help, and for a while he couldn't tell whether Liu Biao was acting or revealing his true feelings.

"Uh······ Brother Shi doesn't have to be like this, even if he has commands, speak out! ”

Liu Biao immediately said: "The county commander of Sui County is afraid of the might of the Flame Army, and is worried about being attacked by Qin Fengxing's troops, so he hangs the seal and leaves, I want to ask Xuande to be the commander of Sui County!" ”

"This ······" Liu Bei hesitated, where did he not know what Liu Biao meant, didn't he make it clear that he wanted him to fight against Qin Feng?

Liu Biao asked, "Xuande is unwilling?" ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly, "That's not it, it's just ······"

Liu Biao added: "I know that Xuande does not have many troops, so how about transferring 1,000 elite soldiers to Xuande for my brother, and distributing 500 sets of armor, bows and crossbows, and 10,000 arrows?" ”

Liu Bei heard that Liu Biao gave both soldiers and equipment, and his heart was immediately moved, he thought that going to defend the county was only closer to the territory actually controlled by the Flame Army, and the two sides were bounded by the county, and the county and the city to the south belonged to Liu Biao, and the north belonged to Qin Feng, as long as he stayed in the county and did not take the initiative to provoke Qin Feng, presumably Qin Feng would not take the initiative to fight him.

"Since the world brother said so, the younger brother should only share the worries of the world brother!"

When Liu Biao saw Liu Bei agree, he immediately laughed: "Haha, good, Brother Xian is really a hero!" ”

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to Xinye to tell Sun Gan, Jian Yong and others about the matter, and Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others all looked depressed.

"Lord, this Liu Biao clearly wants the lord to deal with Qin Feng and the Flame Army, I'm afraid it's not bad!" Mi Zhu said.

Jian Yong also nodded: "Yes, I am still some distance between Xinye and Wancheng, but if we move to Sui County, the situation will be different, it is equivalent to garrisoning troops under the nose of the Flame Army, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?" How could Qin Feng give up? ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It's okay, when I get to Sui County, when I personally go to Wancheng to catch up with General Qin, I guess he won't be embarrassed by me!" ”
