Chapter 51: True Feelings
Kong Rong hurriedly persuaded Guan Yu to dissipate his anger first.
Liu Bei persuaded: "In the past, when you and I were brothers, when we were righteous, we swore together: 'Work together to save the needy, report to the country, and go to Anlishu.'" Although Tao Gongzu's previous actions were negligent, the people of Xuzhou were not at fault. No matter what, we must save the people of Xuzhou from fire and water. ”
Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's true feelings, and he snorted coldly: "Tao Qian just fought with Cao Cao before, and then asked people to protect his father to go to Yanzhou. It's hard to tell the difference between right and wrong. But I don't know what trouble this Tao Qian will cause next time. Let's take the people of Xuzhou again, and instruct our brothers to contribute to him plainly! ”
After Liu Bei finished speaking, Liu Bei hurriedly persuaded him, and Kong Rong also helped him.
Then Guan Yu's anger eased slightly, and he just sat there and didn't talk to others.
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Although I have the heart to help. But that Cao Mengde really has no grudge against me. If I lead troops to attack them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the mouths of the people in the world. Why don't I fix a book first, send someone to Cao Cao, and talk about peace first. If Cao Cao doesn't comply, I will help again. ”
Mi Zhu hurriedly said: "That Cao Cao's plan is very big, and this time he relies on the strength of the army, and he is completely rushing to Xuzhou." If he can't take Xuzhou this time, he will definitely refuse to quit! ”
Kong Rong also helped: "This Cao manipulated the Rong army to loot, and ordered the slaughter of innocent people. If Xuande goes a little late, I'm afraid that hundreds of people will die tragically. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed and said: "How dare Liu Bei refuse, but he has few soldiers and does not dare to move lightly." “
Liu Bei is not unintelligent, Cao Cao's 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers are not vegetarians, not to mention that when the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao had a very good attitude towards Liu Bei, so Liu Bei hesitated.
Kong Rong heard this: "Kong Rong wants to relieve the siege of Tao Gongzu, although it is because of the old friendship, it is also for the righteousness. How can the public not have the heart to uphold justice? ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he knew that he couldn't push it: "We are loyal to the country, and we just want to be worthy of our hearts." This Tao Gongzu is a benevolent gentleman and should not be wronged by this innocent. Although I don't measure myself, I also want to declare righteousness in the world and save the people from fire and water! If the second brother doesn't want to, I'll lead the troops myself this time! ”
Guan Yu hurriedly said: "Since the eldest brother is going, how can I not follow!" ”
"In that case, please Wenju first, Rong Bei will go to Gongsun Chan to borrow three or five thousand men and horses first, and then come."
After all, Kong Rong and Liu Bei don't get along much more and hard, and they only hear of his name, but since Liu Bei has said so, it's not good to say anything else, so he has to say; "Don't break your promise."
Liu Bei nodded yes, Kong Rong saw that Liu Bei agreed, and hurriedly asked Mi Zhu to go back to Xuzhou quickly to tell Tao Qian about the matter.
After Mi Zhu knew what happened, he was greatly moved and couldn't help but thank Liu Bei for his kindness.
Everyone was drinking wine, and Tai Shici came to pay his respects. Kong Rong knew that this Tai Shi Ci was a tiger general, and he wanted to stay gracefully, but Tai Shi Ci did not agree, although Tai Shi Ci also belonged to Confucian disciples, but he came to cultivate great merits.
Tai Shi Ci thanked him: "Ci came to help him on the orders of his family, and he is fortunate to be safe, Ci has a heart here, there is still a heart to do, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Liu Xuan has a great grace with Ci, this book is called, I have to go, if there is a fate, there will be a face to meet in the future." ”
Kong Rong knew that persuasion was useless, so he gave gold and silk as a gift, but who knew that Tai Shi Ci would not accept it, so he drifted away and went to Liu Xuan. Liu Miao once said in his book, but he said it briefly, and this person was later buried in Jiangdong by Sun Ce.
Liu Bei promised Kong Rong, and went to Gongsun Zhan to borrow troops. When he arrived at Gongsun Zhan and explained his intentions, Gongsun Zhan patted Liu Bei on the shoulder and said: "I know that Xuande is not a thing in the pool, but Cao Cao is now prosperous, and Xuande has a grudge against him for Tao Qian, is it worth it?" ”
Who Liu Bei is, although he doesn't want to, but this kind of thing can only be known in his own heart, how other people say it, only listen to Liu Bei said: "I have promised people, I dare not break my promise." ”
This is true, Gongsun Chan patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, and said: "Since my brother said so, I won't say much for my brother, so I will borrow you three thousand soldiers and horses, what else does Xuande need, just say it." ”
Liu Bei said solemnly: "I also hope to borrow Zhao Yun, a subordinate of the eldest brother." ”
When Gongsun Chan heard this, his brows furrowed, Liu Bei was suddenly a little disappointed, and only listened to Gongsun Chan say: "Brother Xian, this person is not my confidant, I dare not use it deeply, if you want to borrow, it is okay to borrow it for my brother, but if you have any mistakes, don't blame my brother for not reminding you." ”
Liu Bei was sad when he heard this, Liu Bei thought that Gongsun Zhan would not borrow it, but now that he said this, he was overjoyed.
In fact, Gongsun Chan was good to Liu Bei, and he kept it in mind, so although Liu Bei wanted to develop, he never dared to fight Gongsun Zhan's idea, let alone dig into the corner of Gongsun Chan.
So although he was familiar with Zhao Yun at first sight, he didn't dare to accept this person.
Now that Gongsun Chan said this, Liu Bei's mind was slightly relieved, and on the second day, he led 3,000 men and horses from his headquarters and took these two righteous brothers straight to Xuzhou, while Zhao Yun led Gongsun Chan with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and then followed.
Mi Zhu returned to Xuzhou and told him about it, and Tao Qian was overjoyed. Hearing Liu Bei again, his heart was a little calm, and on the other side, Chen Deng also came back to report that Tian Kai also sent troops to come, and Tao Qian was relieved.
Sure enough, Cao Cao's 50,000 troops on the other side did not dare to move lightly when they saw that someone was coming to the rescue.
At this time, Cao Cao sat in Yanzhou, assisted by clever strategists, and various schemes were frequent; Wu Youmeng is like a cloud, and all of them are winged guards. There are also 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and they are powerful in Shandong.
Seeing that Cao Cao was powerful, the soldiers and horses on the two roads of Kongtian did not dare to move lightly, and went down to the village according to the mountain.
On the other hand, Tian Kai sat on the upper seat early, and nodded yes when he heard the words. When Liu Bei heard this, he knew that these two people had no brave generals, and their troops were sparse, so he rolled his eyes and said: "It's okay for us to arrive, but I'm afraid there will be a lack of food in the city, and it will be difficult to support." As soon as these words came out, Kong Tian and the others didn't know what to do for a while.
Among the three, Liu Bei was the weakest, but now both of them looked at him together.
Liu Bei saw that the effect had arrived, and said bluntly: "If Xuande leads Zhang Fei into Xuzhou with the help of the two, and then thinks about it in the long run, what do the two think." ”
Kong Rong and Tian Kai also had no good plans, they were all happy when they heard the words, nodded yes, Kong Rong continued, "This is very good, but I don't have any good generals under me, and I hope that Xuande can recommend a good general to lead the troops." ”
Liu Bei heard this and said: "In this way, I will let Yun Chang and Zilong stay, and wait for the headquarters of four thousand to help Kong Beihai." Kong Rong nodded yes. So he met with Tian Kai, thinking that it was a corner, and Yun Changzilong led the troops to help each other.
On the same day, Xuande led Zhang Fei, led a thousand soldiers, and killed Cao Bing's village.
In the middle of the line, a drum sounded in the village, and a general stopped the two in the middle of the road, this person was not a bystander, it was Cao Cao's subordinate Liang Jiang.
He ignored the yellow flag with the red edge, and the big black Liu characters on it. Showing off his might, Le Ma shouted: "Where are the madmen! Go there! ”
Yu Ban is a general under Cao Cao, although he is one of the five good generals, but he is the most trusted of the five good generals by Cao Cao.
Zhang Fei was angry and rude, and he didn't talk, and he patted the horse and took it straight to the ban.
After all, Yu Ban is a Confucian general, and this black man is born without saying hello, and he doesn't understand the rules. Yu Ban couldn't help but feel disgusted, angry, and raised his gun to block.
The two horses intersected, and just after a round, Yu Ban felt a huge shock in the joints, and his whole body was sore.
Yu Ban usually has few opponents, but after a few battles, he will not be able to catch it.
Zhang Fei is calm, although the snake spear in his hand is not heavy, he can lift it lightly, and he is full of true energy. Seeing that Cao soldiers were surrounded by him, Zhang Fei was fierce, and Yu Ban suddenly felt pressured, knowing that he was not an opponent, and took advantage of the situation to lose.
As soon as Liu Bei's double-strand sword came out, all the soldiers rushed up, rushed over, and killed directly in front of the gate of Xuzhou.
