Guo Jia smiled and said to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo. That Gongsun Du is Chen Bing Yu Pass. But when Gongsun Du was defeated, the army of 400,000 was only less than 250,000. Although most of Gongsun Du died or injured were killed or injured.

Joining the troops of foreign tribes, but Gongsun Du had to give an explanation to the leaders of the foreign tribes. What's more, we specially released some soldiers from Yude at the beginning. There is no need to worry about Gongsun Du and the others not being able to compete for the score. Moreover, Gongsun

Although Du has newly acquired the remnants of Gongsun Zan, the Wuhuan tribes are plundering there. Gongsun Du is probably too busy to take care of himself now. How could he send troops to attack us? Especially when we guard the Yucheng town

Although Lu Bu cannot be said to be invincible in the world, there will definitely not be too many people in the world who can fight against him head-on. Moreover, the cavalry commanded by Lu Bu is the elite troops of our Youzhou. As long as Lu Bu is not greedy for merit and advancement,

It is safe to defend Yu Pass. When Yuan Shao was young, he was quite brave and brave, like a strong and ambitious man with a strong personality and ambition. He was ordered by his uncle Yuan Wei to become an official.

Be able to treat the virtuous and humble, respectful and filial. However, Yuan Shao proposed to be righteous and attacked Dong Zhuo, and after becoming the leader of the alliance, his weakness was undoubtedly violent. When I followed my lord to send troops to defeat Dong Zhuo, I looked at Yuan Shao, although he had elite soldiers and generals, he did not want to pursue him and stationed his troops.

There is no need to move forward, and there are cheers at night, and there are constant banquets. It can be seen that this person is willing to do great things and cherishes his body. He is harsh and courageous, has many problems, is good at planning but has no decisions, and is willing to use talents but does not know how to use them. It is difficult to help the world with great difficulties.

The cause of overlords. Therefore, even if the lord is not in Youzhou, Yuan Shao will not dare to send troops to Youzhou. As for the Wuhuan tribes, they did not dare to raise an army to respond when the Nanlou mutiny was in chaos. Then the lord gave an order and

Immediately send troops to western Liaoning. This shows the fear of the lords of the Wuhuan tribes. Therefore, even if the lord is not in Youzhou for the time being, Youzhou will not have any crisis. Now our Youzhou soldiers are in a state of rectification

The troops and horses that stay in Youzhou only need the education of the military academy and the training of the generals. If the army and horses that are sent out are not led by the lord, they may be ineffective in command. Therefore, the lord must follow the army."

However, Guo Jia still said something because he was worried about Liu Ming's benevolence and righteousness. Guo Jia secretly added in his heart: The most important thing is that although Yuan Shao dared not attack Youzhou, Yuan Shao's ambition was quite good

, and he is also located in the Bohai Sea and is under the jurisdiction of Lord Liu Yu. If he wants to develop, he will inevitably have conflicts with Lord Liu Yu. Everyone knows that the lord has a close relationship with Lord Liu Yu. If the lord does not send troops to rescue Lord Liu Yu, then

He will be criticized by the world. After sending troops to rescue Lord Liu Yu, Jizhou will have no excuses. At that time, Youzhou will be enfeoffed outside the Central Plains. When will the lord be able to unify the world?

Although Guo Jia didn't say these words, the obvious evidence from Guo Jiaju was enough to give Liu Ming enough excuse to lead his troops to the war in person.

Although Xun Yu was still a little hesitant, he saw Liu Ming's determination and knew that it was useless to dissuade him, so he stopped saying anything. Moreover, Xun Yu also thought: Even if the lord was not in Youzhou, Youzhou is still about forty soldiers.

Wan, there is nothing to worry about.

Later, Liu Ming asked Xun Yu, Xun You to assist Yang Jun, and Hua Tuo guarded Youzhou. At the same time, he secretly told Yang Jun that if he was not around, he would have any war situation and could not stand it anymore, so he could find Zhang Xiuer.

He came out to help. Moreover, Liu Ming also specially left behind Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba to train new recruits, guarded the three counties of Fanyang, Guangyang and Yuyang, and guarded Yuan Shao in the Bohai Sea.

Guo Jia also secretly told Yang Jun what he didn't say just now. He told Yang Jun that if he encountered this, he could only delay.

The endless wilderness suddenly blew up the dust in the sky. Amid the dust rolling, 40,000 cavalrymen were advancing rapidly. Liu Ming, who was originally in charge of the central army, could not stand the flying dust in the sky at this time and ran to the team.

Forefront.

Liu Ming secretly cursed the damn dust, and at the same time he secretly vowed to build the road wherever he wanted to fight in the future. At the same time, he planted dense trees on both sides of the road.

Running in front of the queue, there was no need to eat dust anymore. The pleasure of speeding also surged into Liu Ming's heart. Liu Ming couldn't help but think: after he rescued his second brother Guan Yu, he would conquer Bingzhou with the flow. Then, after the reorganization of the army,

This will eliminate Gongsun Du, destroy Dong Zhuo, unify the world, and establish a system of expansion to make China more prosperous and strong, and avoid harassment and invasion by foreign races.

But Liu Ming thought it was good, but can things really go as far as Liu Ming thought, or Guo Jia calculated? At least, a little bit of it happened with Yuan Shao at this time.

After Yuan Shao defeated Liu Yu and refused his support, he once again proposed to Liu Yu that he would take charge of the Secretary of the Republic of China so that he could arrange an official position for himself and others. It was natural that Liu Yu refused again. Yuan Shao was so angry that he was embarrassed.

He immediately ordered troops to attack Liu Yu, but was stopped by Feng Ji, Liu Bei and others.

Na Fengji said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, when we send troops at this time, our reputation is not right and our words are not right. Even if we take the land of Jizhou, the Taiwei took this opportunity to call the heavens to attack us. How can we take over it?

”

Yuan Shao was speechless at that time. Although Yuan Shao was extremely arrogant, during the battle of Hulao, Yuan Shao was also amazed at the strong strength of Liu Ming's army.

Yuan Shao knew that he was not Liu Ming's opponent, so he could only ask for advice.

Feng Ji suggested to Yuan Shao: "Lord, at this time, we can only be perseverance and wait for the opportunity. At the same time, we can reclaim wasteland, gather grass and store grain, recruit soldiers, and train elite soldiers. Only in this way can we be the capital to dominate."

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement at that time.

But not long after, Yuan Shao suddenly received an edict from Dong Zhuo in the name of the court, expressing himself as: the governor of Haizhou. At the same time, he assigned Guangyang and Zhuo County in Youzhou to him. At this time, Yuan Shao had already obtained it.

News: Liu Yu was raising food and grass for Liu Ming and transporting it to Bingzhou. The reason was that Liu Ming led his troops to Bingzhou to fight Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao thought it was a chance that God gave him, and immediately received the order and thanked him with great joy.

Yuan Shao was consciously defeated by Liu Ming when he was the leader of the alliance to attack Dong Zhuo. He had long wanted to retaliate against Liu Ming. He was just afraid of Liu Ming's strength and never dared to act rashly. Now Yuan Shao has received Dong Zhuo from his arrival.

The imperial edict from the court consciously could take advantage of Liu Ming's absence in Youzhou and take advantage of the emperor's title to accept these two places in Youzhou. Even if Liu Ming turned against him afterwards, he would never be able to take these two more times.

I will give Liu Ming a place back. That's it. But once these two places are in and out, you can wash the money, rice and grain from these two places, so that you can have enough funds to grow and grow. And even if it is

I can't accept those two places. But I do it on the order of the emperor. No one can blame me for anything. Instead, I can let Liu Mingluo have a reputation of resisting the order and destroying Liu Mingzhongyi's reputation. And I can do it too.

He took the opportunity to get rid of Liu Yu's rule and became a senior official who was on par with Liu Yu, Liu Ming and others.

Yuan Shao had so many wishful plans, so naturally no one listened to the dissuasion. He immediately ordered his nephew Gao Gan and Xun Chen to go to Youzhou to announce the imperial edict and take over the two places.

On the day when the high rank was leaving, the sky was dark, and the cold wind was mixed with some moisture blew from north to south, but it didn't mean that it was raining.

Yuan Shao's advisers also thought that the senior officials went there and did not know the good or bad luck, and there were many good or bad luck.

At this time, Liu Bei sat in his house in Bohai City. However, Liu Bei's mood was even more gloomy than the weather.

Liu Bei secretly thought: If you want to say that after following Yuan Shao in the past six months, you will be doing well. But although Yuan Shao valued himself very much, he expressed himself as the loyal and brave captain, he would still return except for the five thousand Liu Pi's original troops.

In addition to dispatching me, I also allocated 5,000 troops to myself. Now I have 10,000 troops. Finally, I have some real power in my hands, much better than when I was under Liu Ming's hands.

Why did I feel uneasy? Even Jian Yong found himself not long ago and presented the box crossbow he risked his life to him secretly brought to him from Liu Ming's army. But although he was happy that Jian Yong's return and obtained this treasure.

But why is I just unhappy to offer the powerful box to Yuan Shao to seek greater benefits for myself?

Liu Bei pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized in his heart. Liu Bei thought: So that's it. It turns out that he is because Yuan Shao and Liu Ming's territory are too close. After Liu Ming pacified Youzhou, he wanted to expand outward.

In addition to attacking Bingzhou, only Jizhou is left to attack Jizhou. Liu Yu and Liu Ming of Jizhou are intimate, and Liu Yu himself is extremely upright. If Liu Ming attacks Liu Yu, it is easy to make others complain and even arouse the princes of the world.

Uneasy. Join to resist Liu Ming. On the contrary, Yuan Shao's Bohai is not only close to Youzhou, but also Yuan Shao is not honest and does not obediently hide under Liu Yu's name to develop his own strength. Instead, he provokes Liu Ming.

Judging from the people of Liu Ming in Youzhou, how could Yuan Shao take over those two places? If he angered Liu Ming because of this, with Yuan Shao's military strength, he would definitely not be Liu Ming's opponent. Liu Ming could be because of this.

Yuan Shao no longer hiding under the name of Liu Yu in Jizhou, but was unscrupulous to Yuan Shao. Therefore, the day of Yuan Shao's demise was not far away. He was also worried for this reason.

Liu Bei understood the uneasiness in his heart. He immediately decided to take advantage of the fact that Yuan Shao is still peaceful and he had to leave Yuan Shao immediately and go to another place to develop. However, Liu Bei started to have a headache again. If he was alone, he would go no matter how he left.

Easy. But now I still have more than 10,000 people under my command. This is all my own capital. I will rely on these people to make a fortune in the future, and I can't bear it. But Yuan Shao definitely won't

Maybe he took ten thousand people away. Liu Bei fell into deep thought again.

Liu Bei was pinching his big ears and was upset, but at this time God gave Liu Bei a chance. Liu Bei's servant came to report: "Sir, someone is asking for a visit outside the door."

Liu Bei didn't care how annoyed he was, but as long as there was an outsider, he would definitely be happy and angry. Immediately, Liu Bei asked calmly: "Oh. Who is visiting?"

The servant said respectfully: "Sir, he said he was Taishi Ci from Beihai and came here on the order of Lord Kong Rong from Beihai."

Liu Bei was stunned and thought to himself: Why did Kong Rong send someone to come to him? Moreover, Taishi Ci had never met him. He was just when he was with Kong Rong. He heard that Kong Rong thought Taishi Ci was a good person.

He often helps Taishici's mother.

Although Liu Bei couldn't figure it out, there was definitely something outside Liu Bei. Liu Bei quickly ordered: "Hurry! Open the middle door to greet him." After saying that, Liu Bei sorted out his clothes and came out to greet Taishi Ci in person.

A moment later, Liu Bei saw a big man being led in by a servant. Although this man was covered in dust, he exuded a heroic spirit. It should be that Taishi Ci.

Sure enough, after seeing Liu Bei, this person immediately folded his fists and said, "Beihai Taishici, I have met Lord Liu."

Liu Bei looked at Taishi Ci and cherished her heart. He quickly raised his hand to greet him: "No need to be polite. Come and follow me into the house and talk."

After entering the hall, he divided the guest and the host and the host fell. Taishi Ci was not polite to Liu Bei, and said to Liu Bei hurriedly: "Mr. Liu is in trouble in Beihai. Master Kong ordered Ci to come here to ask for help from Lord Liu."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei asked hurriedly: "What's the problem with Kong Beihai? You actually need to come to Bohai for help?"

Taishici took out a letter from his arms and said, "Mr. Liu, this is what Master Kong asked me to pass it to you."

Liu Bei took the letter and took a closer look, but it turned out that it was Guan Hai, the Yellow Turban Party, who led 50,000 Yellow Turban thieves to attack Beihai for food. When Kong Rong was trapped in the city, he had to help from Taishici on his mother's order. Kong Rong saw that the thieves were in great power.

Afraid that Beihai would not be protected, Taishi Ci broke out of the encirclement and brought troops out for help.

Originally, Kong Rong was in trouble in Beihai, so he shouldn't have been looking for Liu Bei far away. But the government forces around Beihai are very weak. No one can save Beihai. And the two courts today are all frugal.

.Kong Rong had no choice but to remember Liu Bei's arrival. After all, Liu Bei was in the most dangerous time, Kong Rong covered up Liu Bei, and the two of them were very good at talking, and they asked for help this time. Kong Rong thought Liu Bei would definitely

Come on. And Liu Bei is now here in Yuan Shao. It would be better for Liu Bei to say that Yuan Shao sent troops to rescue him.

Originally, Liu Bei would find an excuse to turn it off such things that damage his strength. But now Liu Bei was just thinking about running away, and Liu Bei immediately thought about it and thought: "Good opportunity, the opportunity to run away."

arrive……"

Immediately, Liu Bei asked Taishi Ci in detail about the battle situation.

Taishi Ci said a little bit and said to Liu Bei: "Sir, when Ci left Beihai, the Yellow Turban thief had been besieging Beihai for two days. Lord Kong refused to go out to fight and defended the city. Although there were only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers in the city,

The whole person is united, and the thief has no choice but to do anything. But now Ci is coming all the way, and he will rush it up. After four days, I don’t know what’s going on in Beihai these days.”

Liu Bei's face relaxed and then asked, "How about the food and grass and military preparations in Beihai City?"

"Mr. Kong has been managing the Beihai for many years, and the people have always been rich. Beihai has always hoarded a lot of food, and food and grass are not a problem. The rest of the city-guarding materials are sufficiently prepared, and I guess I can hold on for many days without worry." Taishi Ci thought for a while and said,

.

"Okay. Now I'm much more at ease. In the battle of siege, I often have to three times the troops defending the city before I can break the city. Now Kong Beihai has a lot of troops and food. Beihai will not easily break it. I only

You must ask Lord Yuan to send troops to rescue Beihai. You can rest in my mansion first, and after I meet Benchu ​​Gong, report on this matter and get a token. You can go with you." Liu Bei comforted Taishi

Ci said.

After Taishi Ci went down, Liu Bei rushed to Yuan Shao's mansion.

Yuan Shao was also in the mansion at this time. What? It turned out that Yuan Shao thought that as the commander of the Allied Army, he had not won many battles, and all the glory was occupied by Liu Ming, and Liu Ming's army quality was obviously stronger than his.

The equipment is also better, I have been unbalanced for a long time! Later, Liu Ming caught fire in the backyard and rebelled against Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan. He had not been secretly happy for a few days. When Liu Ming returned to Youzhou, he had no trouble.
To be continued...
