"Sin General Xue Zhou, meet General Liu!"

After defeating Xue Zhou for the third time, Xue Zhou, who had lost nearly 2,000 people, finally gave up resistance.

Seeing that the people under his command began to evacuate in large numbers, and seeing that the soldiers under his command were also demoralized and discouraged because of repeated failures.

Even began to centrifuge from Germany, Xue Zhou finally made the most correct decision.

fell directly in front of Liu Bei, and chose to surrender with the thousands of soldiers and horses involved.

And Liu Bei also accepted it unceremoniously, and gave Xuezhou the official position of "Captain of Pingnan" at Liu Xie's try, and then disrupted all the soldiers and horses that surrendered under his command and merged them into the hands of Xu Huang, Ma Chao and Liu Bei himself.

In the end, 3,000 people were transferred from various armies to Xue Zhou to continue to command.

In this way, even if Xue Zhou still has a little bad intentions, it is difficult to make any waves.

And after getting Xue Zhou's allegiance, Liu Bei suddenly grew a lot.

At this time, in addition to the soldiers and horses brought by Liu Bei himself, he also added Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses that were collected from Chang Nu, as well as more than 1,000 young men recruited from Guangling County, Xuzhou, and thousands of elites in Xuezhou.

At this time, Liu Bei already had more than 20,000 people under his command.

Although the number of people has increased a lot, this combat power has not increased at all, and it can even be said that there is a slight downward trend.

In the end, after Xu Huang and Liu Bei discussed it for a long time, it was decided... Disarmament!

"Although there are many soldiers and horses, they are a rabble, and we are going to attack Huainan in the future, facing the descendants of Yuan Shu, as well as the tall and sturdy Shouchun and other city fortresses.

If there is such a soldier and a horse, if there is a problem, won't it make me wait for the rout and flee?

As the saying goes, the soldiers are fine but not many!

Reduce the number of people from more than 20,000 to 10,000, and then train students well, and you will be invincible.

In the future, attacking Huainan, or going to Nanyang, will be our help..."

Xu Huang's words made Liu Bei nod slightly, although the scale of 10,000 people was reduced in one go, which made Liu Bei's heart inevitably begin to ache.

But as they got to know each other, Liu Bei admired Xu Huang more and more, and his talent was recognized by Liu Bei.

There is even a feeling that if he could have a person like Xu Huang when he was wandering in the Central Plains, maybe he wouldn't be... It's so embarrassing!

But this thought only dissipated in an instant.

At this time, Liu Bei didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't continue to think about it...

Guangling County began to operate in full swing, a large number of people began to resume cultivation and farming, Chen Deng mobilized grain and grass from various places to alleviate the fatigue and embarrassment of the people.

Liu Bei, Xu Huang, Ma Chao and others began to train soldiers day and night, building armor and siege equipment.

At the same time, in Guangling City, he also began to search for people who could be recruited.

Chen Jiao, a native of Dongyang County, Guangling County, was quite famous, and Chen Deng originally wanted to conquer it as his main book, but Liu Bei and Liu Xie took the lead in the name of the imperial court.

Among the two choices of Guangling County and the imperial court, Chen Jiao, who was adopted to his mother's family since he was a child, finally chose a "bigger" stage.

He understands that the Chang'an Imperial Court may not be very good, but the land of Guangling is definitely not a place he is willing to stay for a long time!

Faced with such a choice, although Chen Deng was a little pity, he could only shake his head helplessly and let him go.

After all, even if it is himself, he really wants to keep him by his side without any intention, and this person's talent can have a better choice.

In addition to Chen Jiao in Dongyang County, Guangling County, there is also Xu Xuan, a native of Guangling Haixi, that is, Chen Jiao's sworn enemy, who has also received the expedition.

However, this time, Xu Xuan chose to refuse, and finally entered Guangling County.

And this choice is not that he chose Chen Deng, but the person behind Chen Deng, in the face of Xu Xuan, who made such a choice, although Liu Xie was a little disliked, he could only nod in approval.

In addition to them, there is also Wu Pu, a native of Guangling, who is a disciple of Hua Tuo who is proficient in the five poultry opera and acupuncture, and is very good at health preservation, and was directly requisitioned by Liu Xie.

At the same time, I once again remembered Hua Tuo, who refused to conquer himself, and insulted his fellow villagers like that... Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a pity.

"You ignorant fellow, your fellow will kill you in the future... Ay! ”

In addition to these few people, in fact, Liu Xie also pretended to be Liu Bei's hand, and began a large number of talent hunts in Guangling and even the entire Xuzhou and other places.

Although Liu Xie did not dare to play the banner of "recognizing talent but not virtue" at this time, it was also a lot of strength.

Although many of them chose to refuse in the face of conquest, there were still a few talented people who entered the army.

Among them, Liu Xie was most surprised by Lu Dai, the county magistrate of Guangling County!

When this talented guy heard that Liu Bei was seeking talent on behalf of the imperial court, he couldn't help but want to show his ability.

And Liu Xie, who was in the shadows, also left to pay attention after hearing this name.

Sure enough, in the face of the assessment set by Liu Bei and Jia Xu, Lu Dai successfully demonstrated what Yunwen Yunwu is!

In terms of handling government affairs, he has the ability to deal with various situations, and he has reasonable ways to deal with various situations, and his talent is not like ordinary people.

And when facing things in the army, he is even more at ease, from the deployment of military resources to the command of soldiers and horses behind, it is eye-catching, plus quite good bravery.

He was directly appointed as a lieutenant colonel in the army, and asked him to recruit thousands of elites in Guangling County, and then train them.

After Lu Dai, the second thing that surprised and even shocked Liu Xie was Yuan Lian...

The Yuan Lian who traveled all over the mountains and rivers in order to find Liu Bei.

From Yuan Shu to Lu Bu, on the road to find Liu Bei, he was cut off again and again, and in the end, he did not change his original intention, that is, to find Liu Bei.

This feeling: So that every time Liu Xie saw him, he couldn't help but think of Liu Bei and Chen Deng.

Good guys, this big drama is not nonsense!

And Yuan Jian and Lu Dai don't understand, he almost doesn't know anything about military affairs, but he is a real genius in governing the place.

Yuan Lian, who was born in the Yuan family of Chen County, what does his family background say?

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were preparing to dig their ancestral graves, Liu Bei was a street slurch, and Sun Jian was also exterminating the bandits, Yuan Lian's own father was already the commander of Situ plus an army of 50,000.

Of course, in the end, his father let the enemy chase the same as the third grandson, which is also a fact...

But in any case, Yuan Lian's family background is definitely not comparable to ordinary people, and he himself did not become a gentleman because of the willingness of his family background.

The moral character is high, not to mention that in today's history books, it is a strong stroke!

got Lu Dai and Yuan Lian, plus Liu Xie, who also had Chen Jiao and Wu Pu, it can be said that they have gained a lot in Guangling County, not to mention sufficient grain and straw, and they have been repaired enough.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses have been rectified.

At this time, news from all over the world also came at the same time.

First of all, half of Liu Xie's neighbors are now the people Liu Xie pays the most attention to, and Cao Mengde, who is stationed in Yuzhou, has also completed his campaign.

Just when Liu Xie went to Guangling to fight Guangling, Yuan Shu also encountered great trouble.

In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu encountered a drought in his eyes, and then a large-scale famine broke out, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people, which can be described as corpses all over the field.

The miserable scene of cannibalism can be seen everywhere between the Jianghuai and Huai.

And Cao Mengde took advantage of this opportunity to directly rectify the soldiers and horses, and played the banner of consulting the national thieves for the Han Dynasty and chasing down the thief army that attacked King Chen and Liu Pet.

rushed all the way into the land of Qichun, killed four generals under Yuan Shu's command, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le Qiang, and killed Yuan Shu, who personally commanded the army, back to Huainan.

He didn't dare to continue to act recklessly.

After that, Sun Ce also took back Wu Jing and others, and after capturing a large number of soldiers and horses, he directly entered Danyang County, and included the entire Danyang County in his pocket.

At the same time, Bing Feng was directly at the door of Liu Xun's house in Lujiang.

Even if Liu Xun at this time has publicly stated that he has nothing to do with Yuan Shu, he can't stop the little Jiangdong overlord Sun Ce from eyeing him.

The trilogy Chen Lan and Lei Bo also directly rebelled at this time, and fled directly into the mountains to hide with a large amount of grain and grass that Yuan Shu had accumulated with great difficulty, which could be regarded as a complete collapse of Yuan Shu.

The seriousness of the situation can no longer be described as a simple aggravation.

These things were the reason why Yuan Shuming knew that Liu Bei had taken the Guangling that he had in mind, but in the end he could only be indifferent, because he really couldn't take care of it.

At this time, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were close to collapse, and Liu Xie and Liu Bei were already ready, and the opportunity they were waiting for finally came.

"Yuan Highway is now betrayed and separated, and the only people available to his command are the so-called general Zhang Xun and his henchman Ji Ling.

At the same time, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and other resourceful people have been disappointed in him, and now they are unwilling to give him another plan.

In this way, the right time, place and people are all in our hands, and if you want to defeat Yuan Shu, it will be today! ”

With Liu Bei's roar, tens of thousands of troops had already gathered a large amount of grain and baggage, and then rushed directly into the land of Huainan from the southwest of Guangling.

On the one hand, the army crossed the border to attack the city and kill the rebels, and on the other hand, it directly pacified the people, strangled the thieves, and raised the prestige of the Han!

And Chen Deng, who watched the army leave, couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart at this time.

Until the last moment, he was persuading Liu Bei to join him in attacking Xuzhou and exterminating Lu Bu.

Even after failing in the end, Chen Deng did not say that Liu Bei was bad, but prepared all the burdens such as grain, money, and silk they needed.

Watching the army go away, he finally took a deep breath and muttered in the direction of the army.

"Xuande Gong... Life... I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again... Take care!

Take care..."
