"It's not."

Guan Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Third brother, you are still thinking about it."

Zhang Feihuan's eyes were horizontal, and he said, "What are you worried about?" We have already said it, but he still dares to admit it? Although Lu Zijing took the lead, isn't it okay for Shao'er and other second daughters? ”

"Haha, I probably won't be able to wait."

Liu Bei raised the letter and said with a smile: "According to what Yunqi said in the letter, Mrs. Xiaoqiao gave birth to a son at the beginning of the year, named Long Mo, and the third brother is only afraid that he will have to wait." ”

"Son again?"

Zhang Fei pinched his chin, his big eyes moved, and his expression was happy: "My wife is also about to give birth, what if it is a daughter?" ”

Guan Yu asked curiously: "Didn't you promise your eldest brother to marry your daughter to Adou?" ”

"Uh" Zhang Fei paused for a short time, and immediately came up with countermeasures: "I and my wife are reborn, anyway, this family is decided, you can't rob me." ”

"Hahaha, we won't rob you."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhang Fei suddenly proposed to Liu Bei: "The eldest brother has two daughters, and Long Yunqi also has two sons, you can actually marry a daughter."

"Huh?" Liu Bei quipped curiously and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will rob you?" ”

Zhang Fei scratched his head and replied: "I can't wrap the ball, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot."

"It's fine."

Liu Bei smiled and affirmed: "But the children are too young, it's not too late to talk about it when they are older."

Seeing the brothers talking and laughing, Liu Ye asked: "The Sun brothers have been in Jiangdong for several years, although General Long is very capable, but after all, the foundation is still too thin, he should not have full control of Yangzhou?" ”

"What Zi Yang said is very true."

Liu Bei introduced: "Yunqi currently only occupies a large area of Danyang and Wu County, and the current situation in Yangzhou is still very tight. ”

"General Long is confident, he can make Hefei from scratch, Sun Quan's governance may not be won, and the people will choose it themselves."

Liu Ye had to answer at the end, and suddenly his eyes lit up and remembered something, and he hurriedly asked: "Envoy, I remember that General Long mentioned that Taishi Ziyi has a deputy general, who seems to be the lost brother of Guiyang Taishou, and we are still confronting Cai Mao at the moment, if Zhao Taishou can take the lead in serving the eldest prince, it will be very helpful to recover Jingzhou, I don't know"

"Ziyang can see for himself."

Liu Bei stretched out his hand and handed the silk book to Liu Ye, and said: "Yunqi mentioned it in the letter, but he still doesn't know the situation in Jingzhou, so."

"Oh? I'll have to get back to you as soon as possible. ”

Liu Ye took the silk book, nodded while reading it, and said in his heart that if Long Xiang destroyed Sun Quan, he could directly threaten Jiangxia, and Jingzhou would be at his fingertips at that time.

It's just that it's too difficult for Long Xiang at present, so he can only secretly send Zhao Fan to infiltrate Guiyang, but Sun Quan guards the waterway of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult for Zhao Fan to bypass Guiyang.

Liu Ye pondered after reading it, and finally said: "I have a little friendship with General Zilong and Zhao Taishou, why don't I write a letter to give it a try?" ”

"It's fine."

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, he saw a figure outside the hall and hurriedly broke in.

The person who came was a soldier from Guanzhong, who ran wild for several days and killed two horses, just to report a shocking military situation.

Cao Hong and Cao Xiu led 30,000 troops to Tongguan, Gao Gan sent 20,000 troops from Bingzhou, and arrived at Puban through Hedong, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Liangzhou ten troops combined 70,000, divided into two roads from Longyou and Anding into Kouguan.

Zhuge Liang has been mobilizing troops to fortify, and in view of the overwhelming situation of the coalition forces, he urgently asked Liu Bei to return to the division as soon as possible.

Liu Bei's eyes were black and he almost fell, he left 20,000 soldiers for Zhuge Liang, but the coalition army combined had 120,000.

A strong heart, suddenly pulled out the cold, he was worried that the foundation that had been laid with great difficulty would change hands now.

The news was so shocking that it made the lobby instantly quiet.

After a while, Guan Yu took the lead in comforting: "Big brother, don't worry, I'll go with you, whether it's Cao Hong, Gao Gan, or Ma Teng, Han Sui, the Qinglong knife will cut everything." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhang Fei echoed continuously: "Second brother will join us and kill him in the dark." ”

Although Liu Bei was moved in his heart, he had to consider the reality, shook his head and sighed: "If we all go to Guanzhong, who will guard Nanyang?" I'm afraid that this multi-way siege of Guanzhong will be led by Cai Mao asking for help and Cao Cao, so we must not be impulsive and reckless. ”

"What the envoy said is very true."

Liu Ye affirmed Liu Bei and added: "Although Guanzhong is the old capital of the old capital, in terms of population and fertile land, it may not be as good as Nanyang at this time.

Those officials and ordinary people who have their hearts set on the eldest prince can only passively throw themselves into Cai Kuai's arms, and Jingzhou will completely fall into the hands of traitors."

"What does Ziyang think?"

Although Liu Bei agreed with Liu Ye's words, he had no bottom in his heart about the rescue of Guanzhong, Fancheng only had 20,000 soldiers and horses at this time, and they all went back with him, and it was still a huge disparity in strength, and it was impossible to withdraw them all.

Liu Ye said to him: "In my opinion, it is better to let General Guan guard Fancheng, so that Jun Ke and the three generals can return to Chang'an first, and I will immediately return to Xicheng to see if I can draw some soldiers and horses to Guanzhong."

"There are only a few thousand garrisons in Xicheng, if we go to Guanzhong to rescue again, I am worried that Zhang Lu will take advantage of the situation and not lose Handong because of supporting Guanzhong."

Liu Beiyan shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "According to what Ziyang said, the second brother will stay in Fancheng to contain Cai Mao, and the soldiers and horses in Xicheng don't need to move, and Yide and I will take the original people back to Guanzhong." ”

Liu Ye exclaimed: "The original people? Isn't that just 10,000? ”

Guan Yu also echoed: "If the eldest brother wants me to stay, take my 8,000 soldiers away, there are the eldest prince's Xicheng soldiers and horses, and 2,000 troops from Fancheng, which is enough for me to hold Fancheng." ”

"Second brother, why are you like this?"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and shook his head lightly, and said in a deep voice: "You have to face the enemy of Xiangyang, but also beware of the attack of the Cao soldiers in the Central Plains, you bring 8,000 elite soldiers this time, Yuanzhi's side must be tense, Yunqi can rely on 20,000 soldiers and horses to repel Sun Quan's 100,000, and there are more than 30,000 people for his brother and military division, and he can also repel the 120,000 coalition troops." ”

Guan Yu looked bitter, "The situation in Guanzhong is different from Hefei, the eldest brother doesn't bring more soldiers and horses back, how can I feel at ease"

"Second brother, I already will"

Liu Bei was about to say something ruthless, but was interrupted by Liu Ye in time: "Envoy, General Guan, and listen to me, first of all, General Guan is right, the situation in Hefei is different from Guanzhong, and Envoy Jun should bring more soldiers and horses back;

Secondly, the situation in Guanzhong may not be so bad, have you forgotten Kong Ming's ability? He compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, can't he deal with this group of rabble? ”

"This"

"Ziyang."

After listening to Liu Ye's peace on both sides, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were speechless.

Although Zhuge Liang had a good military performance when he attacked Handong, the opponent was the unknown Zhang Wei after all, and the difference in strength was not so exaggerated.

So when Liu Ye said Guan Zhong and Le Yi, the two brothers looked very dignified.

In the end, Liu Bei chose to believe Zhuge Liang, and also agreed with Liu Ye's suggestion, took 5,000 elite soldiers from Fancheng, and led 15,000 troops with Zhang Fei, and returned to Guanzhong day and night.
