Xuzhou - Xiapi

The group waited outside the city gate, and the first person was nine feet long and two feet long! If the face is heavy jujube, if the lips are greased, the red phoenix eyes, the silkworm eyebrows, the appearance is dignified, and the style is majestic! It is Liu Bei's sworn brother, Guan Yu, who ranks second, Guan Yunchang.

Behind him, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Cao Bao, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and other civil and military officials were neatly lined up in a team!

At this moment, there was a loud and loud sound in the distance, like thunder, which overshadowed the sound of horses' hooves galloping.

Soon everyone saw a horse galloping not far away, this person was eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, and a swallow's jaw and tiger whiskers! It is Liu Bei's other sworn brother, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who are stationed in Pei County!

When he came to the front, Zhang Fei pulled the reins of the horse, turned sideways, dismounted and came to Guan Yu, and said excitedly: "Second brother! Big Brother is finally back! ”

Hearing this, everyone smiled.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed loudly!

"Cao Cao's thief is shameless, unexpectedly..."

"Shut up! Don't talk about government affairs in vain! You black guy, why don't you come to Pei County, why do you come to Xiapi? Guan Yu's eyes widened, and he was quite helpless about this third brother in his heart, not to mention his bravery, and he was also quite bold in dealing with people, but this character was too upright!

"How long has it been since our three brothers have been reunited? Didn't I miss you and my big brother? Besides, Pei County has Zhang Min and Zheng [zé] Rong in charge of guarding, so what is there to worry about? Zhang Fei said indifferently.

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, the rest of the people didn't take it seriously, but Chen Deng in the team frowned slightly, but at this moment, everyone's attention was on Zhang Fei, and no one noticed.

As he spoke, everyone felt that the ground trembled, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and hundreds of horsemen rushed towards this side, and everyone was stunned.

"Enemy attack?!"

This thought couldn't help but flash through everyone's minds, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu directly drew their respective blades and waited for the battle.

"Don't panic! We are Liu Yuanjun's men! I am Zhang Chao, the brother of Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao! I'll wait for the envoy to return!" ”

I saw a horse rushing forward, shouting loudly.

Seeing that the other party did not have any blades in his hands, Guan Yu already believed most of them, but out of caution, he still ordered the civil officials to enter the city temporarily, while he and Zhang Fei led more than 100 soldiers to wait for them.

"Second brother! Third brother! ”

After a while, the group came to the front, the leader of the person was seven feet five inches long, his face was like a crown of jade, his lips were greased, and the most eye-catching thing was that this person had two ears and shoulders, and his arms were extremely long!

If He Si'an is here, he will definitely sigh with emotion, this figure, if it is a little higher, is properly carved out of the same mold as the star who likes to drink bath water in the beautiful country.

"Big brother!" Guan Yu and the others spoke out in unison, directly threw the blade aside, ran two steps closely, and the three of them hugged each other, crying bitterly!

After a long time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took two steps back and clasped their fists together.

"Welcome home!"

"Welcome Lord Liu Bei back to Xuzhou!"

As Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's words fell, the officials who had already landed at the top of the city also shouted in unison!

When the people inside and outside the city heard the movement here, they stopped what they were doing and looked at the place where the sound came, and they were all happy?

"Welcome Liu Zhijun back to Xuzhou!"

A cheer resounded throughout Xiapi City, and the sound gathered in one place, soaring into the sky!

The people who came with Liu Bei were also stunned by the scene in front of them, and their faces showed a look of pride.

An hour later, the group came to the supervision courtyard, and Liu Bei introduced them one by one.

"This is Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao!

This is Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao, engaged in Zhonglang Xu Yan, this is Zhang Miao's friend, the former Dongjun garrison Chen Palace! ”

Several people saluted each other, Liu Bei looked at Chen Deng, and hugged his fists deeply: "Thank you Yuanlong for secretly sending someone to report the news, so that you can hide from Cao Cao, gain his trust, and return to Xuzhou smoothly!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Deng's expression froze, and he asked in astonishment: "Why did you say this?" ”

Seeing that Chen Deng didn't seem to be a fake, Liu Bei couldn't help but look at the rest of the people, and when he saw that no one answered, he couldn't help but be confused.

"In short, it is a gratifying thing to enable you to return smoothly, if it is convenient, can you tell what Xuchang has experienced and what happened on the road? Deng and Gongtai (Chen Deng's words), Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao's words) help to refer to one or two. ”

Seeing Chen Deng's solemn expression, Liu Bei didn't dare to slack off, and told all the things Xuchang had experienced one by one!

After a stick of incense...

"According to what the envoy said, a few days before leaving Xuchang, the dancing girl secretly informed the envoy..."

Even though Chen Deng was conceited and wise, he didn't have any clue for a while.

Liu Bei saw that Chen Deng did not continue to speak, so he opened his mouth and continued to speak.

"Since Sikong Mansion came out, the feeling of uneasiness has become more and more intense, and I dare not delay more, so I took advantage of the city gate to drive out of Xuchang! However, on the way, it seems that he met Guo Jia, who is known as a ghost genius under Cao Cao, and his direction should be to return to Xuchang!

And the reserve continued to hurry, until the sky was dark, only to find a farmer surnamed Lu to spend a night, happened to meet Brother Gongtai at his home, we had a few sides of the relationship when Chen Liu, today reunion, are very embarrassed!

During the conversation, I learned that Brother Gongtai resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown because he didn't like Cao Cao's actions of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he told what happened to him, but Brother Gongtai was shocked when he heard it..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, looked at Chen Gong with a look of amazement, and continued: "Brother Gongtai, Cao Cao is capricious and ruthless, and when he comes to his senses, he will definitely send someone to secretly hunt me down!"

During the discussion, the two of us heard the sound of sharpening knives outside the window, and Brother Gongtai reacted that the chairman of this farmer was named Lu Bohao, who seemed to be familiar with Cao Cao, and it was likely that he secretly heard the conversation between the two of us, and was ready to tie us up and hand it over to Cao Cao to receive the reward!

Gongtai and I didn't dare to delay, and after killing Lu Bohao first, I was afraid that Cao Cao's pursuers would come, so we fled to Chenliu overnight, looking for Brother Meng Zhuo, a friend of Gongtai, to take refuge for a while!

On the second day, after arriving in Chenliu, he learned that Meng Zhuo had already rebelled, so he called like-minded people to return to Xiapi with Bei! That's the whole process! ”

(ps: If our protagonist hears this dialogue, he will be speechless, does this Lu Boyao have to sharpen his knife when he comes to the guest?) This may be the legendary unattainable passive skill - sharpening the knife will be killed? ）

After listening to Liu Bei's story, Chen Deng pondered for a moment and said, "Now the envoy has two ways to choose..."

"I want to hear about it!" Liu Bei still trusted Chen Deng's strategy, and asked solemnly.

"First, form an alliance with Yuan Shu!"

"What? Never! Liu Bei exclaimed, and even Chen Gong and the others on the side were surprised!

"And listen to what I say, forming an alliance with Yuan Shu does not mean supporting Yuan Shu, but forming a situation! Liu Miao and Liu Biao have no ambitions, and they are too busy to take care of themselves with Sun Jian in Changsha.

King Hongnong is beyond the reach of the whip, Kong Rong, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang don't need to mention, and once we form an alliance with Yuan Shu, it will also mean that Cao Cao is surrounded by Eryuan, Ma Chao and the envoys, and there is no power to turn over! ”

Everyone thought about it separately, but they also felt that this was a way out.

At this time, Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Gong feels that this road is not advisable, after all, the road to the king should be the right road, if according to what Yuanlong said, the king is likely to lose his biggest advantage, the people's heart!" ”

"The public station is really thoughtful, but it is reckless."

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Deng realized the drawbacks of what he said, but he was not annoyed by Chen Gong's denial of his opinion, but accepted it humbly, which made everyone look down on this Xuzhou No. 1 strategist again!

"Brother Yuanlong, where can he come up with a countermeasure in such a short period of time, the palace thinks that it is difficult to do it, I wish to hear Brother Yuanlong's second way!"

Seeing Chen Deng's attitude, Chen Gong was also quite impressed, and said with his fists clenched.

"Quickly take Guangling, and form a horn with Xiapi and Peixian, and Cao Cao does not dare to move troops easily!"

After a long time, Chen Gong nodded in agreement: "Yuanlong's plan is very clever, so that the king can also announce to the world, cooperate with the imperial court, and unite Liu Biao, Liu Xuan, and Sun Jian to jointly exterminate Yuan Shu!" In this way, not only the three internal counties mentioned by Yuan Long are horns of each other, but even the envoy can form a force with Liu Biao and Liu Xuan, the two Han clan relatives, so that even compared to the forces of King Hongnong and Yuan Shao, it is not much better! ”

Everyone looked at the two people surnamed Chen, and they knew that the top strategists in this world were very accessible, and it was clear that Xuzhou was slaughtered like fish and meat on the board, and under the analysis of the two strategists, it seemed that the fourth force after Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and King Hongnong had been formed!

Just when everyone was rejoicing, suddenly a herald ran into the council hall in a panic, shouting as he ran: "100,000 urgent, urgent military situation!" ”

Seeing the other party's sweaty anxious expression, everyone's hearts tightened, and most of the momentum just now was suddenly unloaded!

Liu Bei also knew that something big must have happened, so he hurriedly ordered someone to hand over a glass of warm water.

The herald thanked him, and only after taking a big sip did he pant and spoke: "The big thing is not good, Cao Cao used the reason that his father Cao Song was killed in my Xuzhou, and the soldiers attacked Xuzhou, and Zhang Min and Zhenrong, who stayed in Pei County, saw that things were not good, so they simply fled south after looting in the city, and the direction should be to go to Yuan Shu!"

Then the dragons in the city were leaderless, and Cao Cao's soldiers directly took Pei County without blood!

"What about Cao Cao's reason? Why do you dare to raise troops rashly? Aren't you afraid that Yuan Shao will take this opportunity to attack Xuchang in the south? ”

At this time, Liu Bei was also a little flustered, looked at Chen Deng and Chen Gong and asked three questions in a row!

The two were silent for a long time, but Chen Deng took the lead in speaking: "Cao Cao really can't be underestimated, he reacted so quickly, I'm afraid it was the strategy of that ghost talent, fast as the wind, making it difficult to resist!" ”

After sighing, Chen Deng glanced at Chen Gong, and seeing that the other party didn't mean to speak, he turned his head to look at Liu Bei again, and arched his hand and said, "Envoy... It seems that the fate of you and me has ended, but now you can get the public platform, which is really a blessing for you! ”
