Chapter 141: Yuan Shao's hesitation

Zuo Ci agreed to serve as Liu Bei's military advisor, and at this moment Liu Bei's heart was extremely excited, Zuo Ci used to be a guest or a friend. But at this moment, it is very different, Zuo Ci can show his strength and feet, can help me display my ambitions, and establish a meritorious service for all generations!

Liu Bei said in the palace on this day: "Since the death of Chen Gong, the position of military advisor has been vacant, and recently I have a candidate, which is my friend "Zuo Ci, Yadi", and in the future, his military orders will be like my military orders, and they can be executed even without passing me."

The people on the left and right all looked at a white old man standing next to Liu Bei, with white hair, white eyebrows, and a white beard. This momentum makes people have to look at it differently.

Liu Bei said: "Please speak a few words first, and everyone will listen carefully to what the military teacher says."

Zuo Ci stepped forward and said: "Everyone, I am a priest on the mountain, I only know how to ring the bell and recite the scriptures every day, and I live a dull and slightly hard life, but all the princes compete for hegemony, and even my Taoist temple that is partial to peace has been burned, and I have no place to live as a monk."

At this time, all the officials laughed, why did they laugh, laughed at him for not being original, he didn't even protect his own home, and laughed at Zuo Ci!

At this time, Zuo Ci also smiled, and then said: "Everyone, imagine that if even I, an old Taoist priest, have no place to live, how will the people of this world settle down, how will they live, and spend every day in the flames of war, praying with fear that tomorrow will someone pull their son to join the army, will the enemy army enter the city tomorrow, will the city be slaughtered?" ”

Speaking of this, all the officials became serious, because they misunderstood the meaning of Zuo Cijunshi's words, but more in-depth words to convince them that they could work together for Liu Bei in the future!

After saying this, Zuo Ci waved his hand, and a wine jug on the table flew up, and then flew to the official's kneeling table little by little, poured the wine for everyone, and then flew back to Zuo Ci's hand, this scene made all the officials admire the five-body throw, and then Zuo Ci raised his glass and said: "Everyone, I am here to pour wine for you, and I hope that in the future we will work together, sincerely unite, and toast to the future of our Xuzhou."

All the officials have already regarded Zuo Ci as a god, just a move that Zuo Ci missed, just one move has already overwhelmed the crowd, at first there were still people who were not convinced, why did the lord invite a Taoist priest to serve as a military advisor, at this moment no one will object to Zuo Ci as this military advisor!

After the discussion, Zuo Ci said to Liu Bei: "Lord, how is our special army?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Don't say it, just according to the method taught by Ma Tan, the quality of the army has obviously changed, and its special ability has been enhanced, and it has become more rapid."

"We only used 10,000 troops for experiments, and we don't know what the real combat power will be, training is training, and it's another thing to actually go to the battlefield."

Liu Bei nodded.

Jizhou, Cao Cao has led Dian Wei to repel Yuan Shao at this moment, Yuan Shao happened to be defeated and fled to Jizhou, Jizhou has begun to be besieged by the Xiahou brothers at this moment, the city guards saw no less than 100,000 people, and their own city is less than 20,000 troops, they can't hold it at all, the sweat of the city guards is flowing, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not be able to return to Jizhou at this moment (but Yuan Shao does not know that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan have begun to attack the city)

Yuan Shao led less than 5,000 troops to retreat to Jizhou, and the spies in front rode back and reported: "Lord, Jizhou, Jizhou is besieged by Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun"

Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, his eyes were almost wide open, and he said, "How many people?" ”

The spy said, "No less than 100,000"

Yuan Shao was stunned, and then looked at Fu Yu for a long time and said, "What should we do?" ”

Frustrated and said: "At this moment, we can't go back to Jizhou, we can only go to others."

Yuan Shao was very reluctant to hear this and said: "I am dignified Yuan Shao, I used to be the leader of the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and now I want to defect to others, what can I hide my face, it is better to die on the battlefield."

Frustrated and said: "Lord, you were the leader of the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, that can only be the past, not the present, the current situation is that the enemy army is large, and the siege of the city, we only have 5,000 troops, even if we rush, we can't break through the enemy's outer defense line, and the strength in the city is only 20,000, and in the end, I still hit the stone with an egg."

Yuan Shao was stunned after hearing this, and kept thinking about what he had just said, but he was the former leader of the Eighteen Roads Princes, only in the past, not now.

Frustrated as he watched Yuan Shao's eyes begin to become cloudy, he lost his fighting spirit, and his whole body was as weak as lying on the ground, Yan Liang and Wen Chou next to him said: "Lord, as long as you give an order, I will lead my brothers to kill together."

Yuan Shao shook his hand and said: "The general trend is gone, don't make senseless sacrifices" and then looked at the faces and eyes of the soldiers who lost their armor and fled with him and said: "Let the soldiers live longer"

Yuan Shao looked at Fu Zhu and said, "Then note, where should we retreat?" ”

Frustrated Zhu thought for a while and then said: "Now there are two people who can drink Cao Cao as the enemy, one of them is Liu Bei who robbed Cao Cao Xuzhou, this person is extraordinary, saw the opportunity, decisively took Xuzhou and then quickly deployed, the most incredible problem is that this person has Lu Bu to help, this person can subdue Lu Bu of course has advantages, but this person has few troops, if Cao Cao really swallows Xuzhou, it can be said that it will not be too difficult"

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "The second person is Jing Chu Li Zhe!" ”

Frustration said: "The lord is wise, it is indeed Li Zhe, this person has many generals, generals such as: Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, etc., and there are many first-class strategists under him, such as: Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Jiangdong Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Xu Shu, etc."

Yuan Shao hesitated for a while and then said: "If we go to Li Zhe, I'm afraid that Li Zhe doesn't look down on our soldiers and horses at all, let alone revalue me Yuan Shao, and goes to Liu Bei, I'm afraid it won't be long before Cao Cao attacks Liu Bei, Liu Bei, then we will be the vanguard and preserve our strength."

Frustrated Professor thought to himself, the lord began to be wise, knew the analysis, and began to be confused at the moment, which made Frustrated Professor very happy.

Yuan Shao said: "Note, I can't pay attention to it, please give me a trick"

He said: "Before I give the lord a trick, I want to ask the lord what he plans to do in the future, whether it is to be partial to peace or to fight on the battlefield and break the territory?" ”

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment at this moment and then said: "The eldest husband should bleed, if I knew this truth earlier, I wouldn't let Cao Cao take advantage of my loophole."

Frustrated and smiled: "So I can rest assured, we can defect to Liu Bei, and when there is a chance in the future, we can wait for the opportunity to take Xuzhou and stand on its own, and we can also compete for hegemony in the future if we have Yan Liangwen and Chou." ”
