But there may also be pieces of iron in it, from a variety of sources, from helmets or armor, from carts, or from broken blades.

There are too many battles, and I don't know when the bowstring will break and the long sword will break.

The soldiers would not be sad, they would only numbly dig out such a piece from their bleeding mouths and continue to devour the rest of the meal.

Not far from them there were tents erected, braziers in tents, and even the smell of salted meat and soup wafting from afar, but it didn't belong to them, so the soldiers wouldn't even lift their heads.

When the strategists arrived, Liu Bei had not yet entered the tent, he squatted at the door, looking at the group of soldiers with deep eyes.

He even came back to his senses after being called a few times by Xu Shu.

"Yuanzhi, Xianhe," he replied, and looked up again, his gaze pausing among the strategists, "Mr. Wenhe is also back. ”

Jia Xu's face was ashed, and he wiped it a few times with his sleeve, but I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was not clean, and there was a shocking trace.

The scribe, who usually seemed to be very calm and relaxed, seemed to be unaware, and when he heard Liu Bei call him, he bowed down and bowed.

"Our remnants are still gradually gathering together," Liu Bei said, "If it weren't for Yun Chang's troops to attack his rear road, Yuan Shao would probably pursue him even more." ”

Xu Shu seemed to want to speak, but Liu Yan spoke first.

"Don't worry, my lord, several righteous armies in Jingzhou are coming, look down, this battle is still promising!"

Xu Shu's brows furrowed suddenly, "I didn't underestimate a few envoys, the previous rebel army had been defeated for a while, and the other army was only a private under Yuan Shao's command, how could I fight Yuan Shao's own troops and horses again this time?" ”

"The sages also have the saying that 'shame is almost brave', not to mention who can be born to know, I have seen a few envoys who are fierce soldiers, which is very different from the state of the past, among which there are brave generals such as Huang Hansheng, how can Yuan Zhi be too much!"

Xu Shu seemed to want to refute, but Liu Bei waved his hand and stopped the dispute.

"I think Weishuo's words are very reasonable," Liu Bei said with a smile, "Let's take Weishuo's strategy, and when the reinforcements come here, we will have another big battle with Yuan Shao!" ”

When he said this, his body got up from behind the handsome case, his arms were hugged in front of his chest, his feet were separated, and he looked heroic.

"The lord can take the next step," he said loudly, "why worry that Yuan Jun will not break!" ”

In the midst of the promises, Jia Xu, who was facing the gray marks, touched his beard.

And Xu Shu frowned and looked at Liu Yan, then at Jia Xu, and then at the calm and relaxed lord, and suddenly realized.

Liu Yan is a capable person.

Although he is not proficient in civil and martial arts, he can follow Liu Bei for so long and be so relied on, which requires considerable ability.

Now that the two armies are fighting, his henchmen can cross the battlefield and send the secret letter to the opposite camp, isn't this a demonstration of strength!

Isn't this strategizing, dominating the situation, and playing the general trend of the world in the palm of your hand!

Isn't this the reincarnation of Zhang Liang!

Guo Tu shook the letter and fell into deep thought.

This letter of credit is silk, and it is very sophisticated, which proves that this person should usually eat and dress extravagantly.

But the handwriting is a little unstable, and the pen is very stiff, and at a glance you can see that the residence is not very warm.

The person who wrote the letter was very embarrassed by the suffering that he had not usually suffered, but the urgency in his heart was almost on the page.

The person who read the letter now had a much better quality of life than he did, living in a warm tent thickened with fur, in which incense burners were lit in addition to charcoal to dispel the flames.

He had hot tea on hand and even a box of preserves.

While reading the letter, Guo Tu reached out and picked out a plum from it, and took a bite, so that the precious sweetness filled his mouth.

But the advisor still felt bitter in his mouth, bitter that even the candied fruit could not suppress.

If he is embarrassed, he feels that he is even worse than Liu Yan!

The lord wins! Not bad! Congratulations!

But why is Xun Chenjin's words! Meritorious service!

How much weight can such a big victory earn for Xun Chen, Guo Tu can't even think about it! Especially thinking about Xun Chen, although he is not clearly estranged from the eldest son, he has a better friendship with the third son!

Yecheng has a trial, and the lord has Xun Chen by his side, and now he is even more powerful, defeating Liu Bei! What the future holds, he can't even imagine!

Guo Tu's full cheeks squirmed slowly, and he squinted his eyes, as if enjoying the sweet taste in his mouth at the moment, and as if he was planning that sweet future.

When he had finally swallowed the preserves, a servant looked at him and handed him a muslin dipped in warm water.

Guo Tu handed his hand over.

"Change my clothes," he smiled, "I'm going to see my lord." ”

Xun Chen's footsteps were not fast when he entered the tent, but after he glanced around the strategists, his heart suddenly hung in the air.

This Yingchuan Xun clan strategist is definitely not as good as his Bingqing Yujie brother when it comes to Anbang's talent, but he is very good at seizing the opportunity, and he is even better at speculating on the subtle expressions on other people's faces.

For example, when he saw Guo Tu holding his hands in his sleeves and standing solemnly, without even looking at Yuan Shao's face, Xun Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Guo Tu is very fond of flattering the lord and speculating on the mind of the lord, Xun Chen often feels that Guo Tu can drill the camp to his current status and find a place among the many strategists in Hebei, this skill is really not to be underestimated, this is not even his strategy, because the Hebei strategists privately feel that if Guo Tu stays with the eldest prince, straightens out the logistics for him, and gives advice, it is very good - but this person is too selfish.

Others are selfish, but they still talk about a little ideal, whether it is the ideal between monarchs and ministers, the ideal of making meritorious contributions, or the ideal that will go down in history, anyway, it is somewhat idealistic and a little face-saving.

But Guo Tu has nothing but selfishness in his heart.

…… It's not right, Xun Chen thought about it again, and felt that in addition to his own one-third of an acre of land, Guo Tu must have a fierce beast in his heart.

Judging from his jealousy and jealousy, hatred of his colleagues like hatred, maybe he has to ask himself every day, is there anyone in Hebei who can beat him and sit in the first seat of the sovereign?

If there is, it must not be left and bitten to death! Bite to death immediately!

…… This determines that his goal is not to kill his colleagues, but to kill his colleagues.

The strategists were almost there, and the lord at the top coughed lightly.

When everyone saluted, Guo Tu suddenly tilted his head slightly and glanced at the handsome young strategist beside him.

Xun Chen suddenly saw that the beast poked out two green eyes from Guo Tu's arms.

When the fluttering flags arrived in the small city where Liu Bei was staying, the city was already crowded with people inside and outside.

There are soldiers who are gradually returning to the team, there are also powerful families who come to help, and even the messenger of the Son of Heaven, although the brocade robe is quite bright and gorgeous among a group of gray-faced people, but the uneasiness on his face still betrays the heart of the court.

But Liu Bei looked much more confident.

He even entertained the crowd with food and wine brought by them, and he even announced his plans loudly during the three rounds of drinking.

"The first time I met Yuan Benchu, I didn't notice it for a while, and I was defeated, but I don't use the benefits of the military revolution in the world, but also the help of the people! Now with the help of all the kings, why worry about the great cause! He staggered to his feet, raised his glass and shouted, "Gentlemen, drink this cup, and I will destroy this country thief tomorrow!" ”

"Ming Gong is right!" Someone shouted, "I'll wait for the good news!" ”

The lights were bright, and there was cheering, and there were also people who exchanged heads and ears with concern.

Liu Bei was defeated before, and this time he fought again, but the army did not hear it, only arrogant and arrogant, this is not like he can win this game.

…… Do you want to write a letter to Yuan Gong again?

…… But General Xiao Lu has not heard of a defeat from Rong for ten years, and there was a great victory on the white horse before, if she went south to rescue the lord, and surrounded the front and back, maybe she would win Yuan Benchu?

…… Alas, alas, how could a famous general like General Xiao Lu follow such a lord? Won't you want to be like the Marquis of Huaiyin in the future?

…… She doesn't seem to be like the Marquis of Huaiyin, what do we have to do! Let's take the letter first, and then we'll see the outcome tomorrow.

The guests and hosts were so happy that even the panicked soldiers gradually settled down after eating the hot broth, and even believed the words of the commander, thinking that tomorrow there must be some certainty of victory.

The guests gradually dispersed, and the host drank enough wine, and when he went back to the back tent to rest drunk, suddenly a pro-army ran and said that Zhang Xiu wanted to see him.

The lord was sitting on the couch and taking off his socks and rubbing the frostbite on his feet, but he did not show any surprise when he heard it.

"Just let him in."

Zhang Xiu entered the account.

When this Xiliang man saw Liu Bei stepping on the ground with his bare feet and reaching out to grab his hand very enthusiastically, he couldn't hold back his panic and emotion anymore.

"Ming Gong believes me! Quickly ask General Xiaolu to go south, and then join forces with the second general to help, it is the right way! ”

The warm big hands were tightly clasped in his hands, "Zisu and I have the same temperament, I naturally believe in Zisu!" ”

Zhang Xiu wanted to bow down, but he couldn't salute because he was grabbed by Liu Bei's hand, so he was also moved to shake Liu Bei's hand.

"Ming Gong, tomorrow's decisive battle is deceitful! There's a deception! ”

Liu Bei looked at him with wide eyes, Zhang Xiu was even more distressed, and he was about to shout in one breath!

"Ming Gong doesn't know, Liu Yan's thief-"

Ming Gong let go of his hand, covered his mouth, and smiled affectionately and secretly.

"Although it is better for me to march and fight," Liu Bei said, "I can't wait for her to come thousands of miles to save me like rotten wood and rotten grass." ”

So Zhang Xiu understood everything.

Chapter 531

When Liu Beijun was full of confidence and the news of the re-battle reached the Jizhou military camp, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing.

"Liu Xuande is called a hero in vain, but he can't distinguish between the true and the false, and he will eventually be mistaken by the villain!"

"Turbidity is the most difficult thing in the world to distinguish." Xin Ping said a word lightly, and Guo Tu immediately picked up again.

"What's more, Liu Bei came from a humble background, and he was in the company of the reckless generation, it was rare to go smoothly, so he naturally forgot about it, he couldn't be virtuous, and he didn't measure his strength."

Clearly belittled Liu Bei, secretly praised the lord, very skillful, and very decent, looking at Yuan Shao's smile and slightly nodding his appearance, he knew that he was very comfortable with this sentence.

But someone is uncomfortable.

"What weight can Liu Yan have in the army, how can he convince everyone if he can persuade Liu Bei?"

Guo Tu glanced at Tian Feng and then at Xin Ping.

"He has followed Liu Bei for more than ten years since Youzhou, and he is very lucky," Xin Ping, who received the hint, said with a smile, "Everyone disagrees with him, do they dare to disobey Liu Bei?" ”

A strange and mocking smile appeared on Tian Feng's face.

"What, does Liu Yan also have the ability to be two?"

Outcry!

"Tian Feng!"

Yuan Shao's angry shout did not shut up this strategist who was used to committing crimes, not only did he stand out, but as soon as he knelt down in his robe, his forehead slammed on the ground!
