Volume 1 Survival in Death Chapter 71 Lu Bu who is about to withdraw from the battlefield

"You don't need to do this, the old man is just planning for His Majesty, and you... It doesn't matter. ”

At this time, although Jia Xu sat on the main seat, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't want to accept this matter at all.

A few days ago, Yan Xiang sent news that the ferry port in the eastern suburbs of Hefei had been built and could be used to meet the army across the river at any time.

Originally, this news was an extremely fortunate thing for everyone, which meant that they were able to leave this land of four wars, so as to enter Jiangxia and then escape into Nanyang.

After that, whether they stay in Nanyang or turn back to Hongnong, it is a reasonable thing, and they will no longer face danger at any time.

But at this time, Shu Shao was entangled with all the Yuan Shu officials who surrendered to Liu Xie in Huainan and found Liu Bei and Jia Xu, hoping that they would not evacuate for the time being.

"Since we have decided to serve the imperial court, we will naturally not turn our backs on Your Majesty.

But now, if we leave the land of Huainan, what will happen to the people of Huainan?

Cao Jun is eyeing the tiger, not to mention whether they will slaughter and plunder the people of Huainan as they did when they slaughtered Xuzhou and other places.

Let's just say that spring plowing and summer planting are about to begin, and the weather is good today, and the people can obviously have a stable environment, so that they can relax a little.

If we leave, Cao Mengde's army will move south in an instant, and then occupy this place.

At this time, Cao Mengde conquered Xuzhou, and the grain and grass had fallen into embarrassment, if they got Huainan, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not do the same thing as Yuan Shu at the beginning.

Take grain from Huainan for the land of Xuzhou, and even forcibly relocate the people of Huainan for the sake of Xuzhou in the future, so that the people should have no life! ”

Shu Shao found Liu Bei and earnestly asked Liu Bei and Jia Xu to stay for the sake of the people of Huainan for a while longer, to give the people a chance to breathe, and to use the name of the imperial court to deter those soldiers and horses who were about to move.

To be honest, this request is very happy for Liu Bei, and his benevolence is at least not fake at this time.

But he also knew that if he did this, it would undoubtedly put Liu Xie on the fire to roast.

How can the emperor of the Han Dynasty be in this kind of land of four wars all the time?

Therefore, although Liu Bei was a pity, he finally chose to shake his head and refuse, but when everyone was already disappointed, Jia Xu once again awakened everyone's hope with one sentence.

At the same time, everyone was completely surprised.

"Xuande is worried about His Majesty's safety, since this is the case, let Your Majesty choose it personally!"

Such a fluttering sentence made Liu Bei suddenly stunned in place, and also made everyone who didn't know Liu Xie's existence stunned.

I don't know what Jia Xu means by this....

The rest of the matter is very simple, Jia Xu persuaded Liu Xie to reveal his identity in front of these people, so as to capture their minds.

Then in the middle of the discussion, Jia Xu took the initiative to raise the question of staying or leaving, so that Liu Xie now made a choice.

Continue to stay for more than half a year, let the people of Huainan succeed in a bumper harvest, and then leave them with enough grain before leaving.

If you want to follow them away, they are welcome!

If they don't want to, if there is a good harvest this year, they can leave the seeds and hide in the mountains to reclaim the land and cultivate it, although it is painful and difficult.

But... It's better than dead!

Liu Xie's decision made everyone cheer in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show half of it in front of Liu Xie, only when they returned here, everyone bowed down to Jia Xu sincerely.

"The old man deserves to behave like this, the old man is all about self-protection in this life, he is not a good person, let alone a gentleman.

Today's matter, the old man is just planning for His Majesty, not for you, let alone for the people of Huainan.

I hope you understand! ”

Jia Xu reiterated his attitude again, then bowed to everyone, and got up to take his leave.

Before leaving, he also specially informed everyone that this time was urgent, and if he really wanted to do something for the people of Huainan, it was best not to waste any more time.

Huainan will be stable as soon as possible, when will Chen Jian, Lei Bo and the others choose to come out from the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.

And they were able to solve their problems earlier.

These words naturally attracted a burst of echo, and then the group quickly left, began to deal with their own affairs, and went to their own business.

And Liu Xie's decision really surprised Cao Mengde and others.

He originally thought that Yuan Shu was dead, and the next step should be to respectfully "send" Liu Bei and the imperial army under his command, and exchange a part of the grain for a complete Huainan, which he did not lose money on.

For this reason, he also praised Xun Yu as worthy of his ovary, with outstanding vision and extraordinary insight.

But now that Yuan Shu is dead, Liu Bei is still in Huainan and refuses to leave, and Cao Mengde is a little panicked at this time.

Especially at this time, although his attack on Xuzhou was successful, but now the later he goes to the battle of Xuzhou, the more difficult his progress becomes.

In the autumn of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Mengde gathered a large number of soldiers and horses, and on the grounds that LĂź Bu had allied with Yuan Shu, he raised a large army for the court to kill such thieves.

Although this reason sounds very unreliable, under Cao Mengde's rapid attack, no one jumped out at this time to criticize Cao Mengde.

In just a few months, Lu Bu's command lost most of it.

Cao Ren took the lead in attacking, storming Juyang and capturing Liu He, the subordinate general under Lu Bu.

At the same time, Cao Mengde's general Le Jin first ascended the camp to attack Xiao Pass, blocked the gate of Xuzhou, took down the guards Zhao Shu and Li Zou, and forced them to surrender.

Immediately after, the officials who followed from Yanzhou, Xu Yan, who had been a Zhonglang under Cao Cao, fled directly with a large number of Yanzhou scholars without saying a word, and disappeared from the path.

made Lu Bu's subordinates panic again.

Pengcheng Prime Minister Hou Harmony defended Pengcheng, but was broken by Cao Mengde in a battle, slaughtered Pengcheng again, and killed Hou Harmony to deter Xuzhou.

Mao Hui and Xu Xi, who responded to LĂź Bu's rebellion together during the Yanzhou Rebellion, directly took the opportunity to surrender, causing LĂź Bu to lose a flank again, which directly led to the Cao army's encirclement of Xiapi.

And the most important thing is that Chen Deng, who he has always trusted immensely, actually raised nearly 10,000 troops in Guangling to attack Xiapi, and won successive battles along the way, so that his last retreat was gone.

Lu Bu was furious and immediately asked people to take all the old and young people of the Chen family in Xiapi, and wanted to use this to exchange with Chen Deng.

But at the critical moment, Lu Bu assassinated the traitorous official, and Zhang Hong, who was not a person in Donglai, betrayed Lu Bu at the critical moment and let all the Chen family's family go.

All hope for Lu Bu was cut off at once.

As the head of the spy under Lu Bu, he turned out to be a spy of others, how funny this matter is.

But such a funny thing is placed on Lu Bu's body, but it seems to be full of reasonableness, this is the late Han Dynasty flying general, Lu Bu!

But Cao Mengde's attack officially ended here, when Cao Mengde led many generals under his command to attack the city all the way and win successive battles, forcing Zang Ba to defend Kaiyang.

The army finally closed the siege of Xiapi.

But at this time, Lu Bu had already taken back his army of "cronies" to Xiapi City.

The former Beidi Taishou, the cavalry captain, Zhang Liao, the prime minister of the Lu State, the invincible commander of the camp Gao Shun, and dozens of cavalry swept Zhang Yan's personal general Wei Yue and became Lian.

Veteran of Bingzhou, Hou Cheng, who was born as a horse dealer, Lu Bu's younger brother, Wei Xu, the commander of the camp, Song Xian, Cao Xing...

There is also the resourceful military advisor Chen Gong.

These people gathered in Xiapi City, plus Lu Bu's pro-army and the elite of Danyang under Cao Bao Xu Tan, they guarded this Xiapi like an iron bucket.

From the autumn of the second year of Jian'an to the current summer of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Mengde does not know how many times he has attacked Xiapi, nor how many soldiers have fallen under Xiapi City.

However, the banner of the word "Lu" stood tall above the city, which made him furious, but he was helpless.

Under this situation, Cao Mengde's grain and grass, which was not rich, is now even worse, but Liu Bei in Huainan is not leaving, and he has no choice today.

"General Cao..."Just when Cao Mengde was worried about the affairs of Xuzhou and Huainan, Chen Deng came to Cao Cao, "The last general is responsible for supervising the army Guangling, and now he has specially sent grain and military supplies for use!" ”

Chen Deng's arrival was like giving Cao Cao a shot in the arm, and after relying on the lack of food and military supplies from slaughtering Pengcheng and digging graves, he finally got relief from Chen Deng again.

And after getting the grain, coupled with the desperate advice of Guo Jia and Xun You, he finally dispelled the idea of collecting troops.

Then he continued to besiege Xiapi, and took advantage of the opportunity of the rainstorm to directly dig the upper reaches of the Huai River, and a big flood directly flooded half of Xuzhou.

As the focus of the care, Xiapi was even more affected by the impact of this flood and almost collapsed.

Lu Bu, who had just seen hope and the dawn, saw despair come again.

"Help... Call for help now... Gotta call for help! ”

The crazy Lu Bu now felt that he had no choice, so when he found that the water was beginning to submerge Xiapi, he finally panicked.

Yuan Shu is gone, and his only chance now is to find Liu Bei.

Look for Liu Bei, who was once captured by him and turned into a lost dog wandering outside.

"Wang Kai, Qin Yilu... The two of you left Xiapi at night, and then went to Nashouchun to look for Liu Bei.

Tell him that I am in danger in Xuzhou, let him see that he will save his life for the sake of shooting halberds in Yuanmen back then, and let him send troops...

As long as he is willing to send troops, Ben can agree to any request! Either way! ”

At this time, Lu Bu had completely given up the last shred of his sanity, and panic and fear completely occupied his heart.

At the same time, it also completely made him crazy and eccentric....
