He was discussing with Cheng Yu how to deal with Yuan Shao in the battle of Xia Pi.

Cheng Yu was also a famous scholar recruited by Liu Bei in Yanzhou. Cheng Yu was originally a strategist under Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. Unfortunately, Liu Dai died at the hands of Zhang Miao. Cheng Yu, as a strategist, escaped. After returning to Yanzhou, Liu Bei took over Yanzhou.

Cheng Yu had a good impression of Liu Bei. In addition, Liu Bei was short of talents at this time. After learning about Cheng Yu's ability, Liu Bei naturally regarded it as a guest of honor and was naturally treated very well with Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was moved by Liu Bei's appearance as a polite person, so he naturally joined Liu Bei's subordinates to assist Liu Bei.

After a while, the relationship between the two became more and more intimate.

"Lord, General Zhao Yun just sent a message back, saying that in the battle of Xia Pi City, our army had repelled Yuan's army. Now he has been resting for a night. General Guan Yu decided to go to Tan County to pursue Yuan's army. According to their statement, he may have a duel with Yuan's army again in Tan County and completely defeat Yuan's army."

When Guan Yu led Zhao Yun to Tan County, he naturally sent someone to Xuzhou to inform Liu Bei of the news.

First of all, Guan Yu must let Liu Bei know their action plan, and whether to attack Yuan Jun still has to wait for Liu Bei's decision.

Secondly, I hope that after Liu Bei knew that they would be able to send some troops to support them after they attacked Tan County, and at the worst he had to transport the food and grass.

After learning the news, Liu Bei was surprised on the one hand, but also worried on the other hand.

The surprise was because of Zhao Yun's help. In the battle of Xiajiu City, Guan Yu actually repelled Yuan's army and killed tens of thousands of Yuan's troops. Such a record could undoubtedly be used to show off, and it would also make Liu Bei feel surprised and unexpected.

But what Liu Bei did not expect was that Guan Yu dared to lead 20,000 troops to pursue Yuan Shao's army at this time.

If only 20,000 people were fighting against Yuan Shao's army in the field, they might not be able to defeat Yuan Shao. After all, the cavalry under Yuan Shao was still extremely fierce, and Liu Bei was not sure that he could fight Yuan Shao head-on in the field.

So this is what Liu Bei is worried about. Guan Yu has made a decision and seems to have no intention. If Liu Bei helps him, Liu Bei can only acknowledge the result.

"Captain Yun is a bit reckless. He should be temporarily resting in Xiapi City to fight back. He is waiting for the main force of our army to come and support. Now he can't wait to pursue Yuan Shao's army. If he falls into a trap, the entire army will be wiped out..."

Liu Bei didn't finish his words, but he looked a little nervous when he thought about it.

Cheng Yu, who was beside him, immediately comforted Liu Bei.

"My lord can rest assured. According to the information we have, Yuan Shao had only 60,000 troops in Xuzhou City at this time, and the battle of Xia Pi City suffered heavy losses. Yuan Shao should not have more troops to mobilize and could only defend Tan County in a short period of time. In this way, General Guan's initiative can take the lead in turning our disadvantages into advantages, and even bring back all the territory seized by Yuan Shao in one fell swoop."

Cheng Yu's words really comforted Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei's frown brow relieve a little.

Liu Bei got up and walked around the room.

Although the sadness on his face was much less, his face was still solemn.

"Military advisor, although Yun Chang's attack on Tan County was a good plan, why did I feel that it was too smooth? I had some doubts in my heart."

"Suspicious? What is the lord worried about?"

"Is it that Liu Zheng from Guangling?"

When Cheng Yu saw Liu Bei's solemn expression, he thought for a moment and guessed roughly what was in Liu Bei's heart.

Liu Bei nodded and said slowly.

"Well. It's that Liu Zheng. At this time, our army fought with Yuan's army. Most of the troops defending Guangling were taken away by me to support Yun Chang. Now the troops defending Guangling line are weak. Once Liu Zheng has ideas about our Xuzhou, we will be terrible."

Liu Bei's concern has always been not Yuan Shao, but Liu Zheng.

However, in Cheng Yu's opinion, Liu Bei's words were not threatening. At this moment, he immediately smiled and comforted Liu Bei again.

"The lord is worried. Didn't our spies pass on the news of Liu Zheng to us before? At this moment, Liu Zheng should be leading the army to fight with Liu Biao and General Ding Yuan in Jingzhou. Liu Biao and General Ding Yuan have strong troops and are in charge of Jingzhou, joining forces with more than 100,000 troops, which is not so easy to deal with."

"At this time, Liu Zheng was too busy to take care of himself, so how could he be able to take care of our Xuzhou affairs?"

The war in Jingzhou has lasted for a while, and the news naturally spread to Xuzhou. So Liu Bei has always known that Liu Zheng was fighting with Liu Biao at Xuzhou at this time. As for the specific situation in Jingzhou, Liu Bei's spies have not yet fully found out.

However, it is impossible for such a huge Jingzhou to end the battle in a short time. This kind of battle involving more than 100,000 people will inevitably last for several months.

Even if the troops under Liu Zheng are powerful, Liu Biao and Ding Yuan are not vegetarians, so they can't be defeated by Liu Zheng in one or two months.

After Cheng Yu said this, Liu Bei, who was still a little worried, was really not worried.

"What the military advisor said is that I was too worried and was a little over-concerned."

Liu Bei answered to Cheng Yu.

But at this moment, Liu Bei and Cheng Yu had just finished discussing.

At this moment, footsteps were heard hurriedly outside the house.

Jian Yong walked over with a serious face with a roll of military orders.

"Not good, something big is wrong!"

"The lord is urgent military information!"

Liu Bei, who was talking to Cheng Yu in the house, heard Jian Yong's voice outside, and his face immediately turned a little wrong.

Liu Bei hurriedly got up and walked a few steps outside the house. He happened to meet Jian Yong walking in. When he saw Jian Yong, he immediately asked.

"Xianhe (Jian Yongbiao), what's wrong? What happened?"

Liu Bei's tone was quick, and when he saw the look on Jian Yong's face, he knew that something was wrong.

Jian Yong did not hesitate. As soon as he saw Liu Bei, he immediately told him the emergency military information in the letter.

"Lord, something is not good. Liu Zheng's army in Guangling came straight to our army's Xuzhou the day before yesterday."

As soon as the news was said, Liu Bei and Cheng Yu in the house immediately turned apart. They were just saying that Liu Zheng would not have sent troops to attack Xuzhou at this moment, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

"Liu... Liu Zheng really attacked him. How many people did he send?"
