Yuan Shu was captured. Yang Hong's bad idea not only failed, but also injured both Ji Ling and Zhang Xun. Although it was not an injury, they still needed to recuperate if they wanted to be like before. What Yuan Shu was worried about was not just himself and the two of them.
The general's injury was his own life. Looking at his posture last night, Long Fei's words about letting him go were just words. It was really not certain whether he would be able to survive Shouchun.
"It was all your good idea! It almost killed us all!" Yuan Shu got angry when he saw Yang Hong: "What should we do now?"
"My lord, don't be anxious!" Yang Hong said: "Long Fei's strength is more than enough to kill us. Since he didn't kill us, it means that he still has some concerns. My lord, please rest assured."
Yang Hong really guessed it right. Based on Long Fei's original plan, Yuan Shu going against him would definitely not make things easier for him. But these recent events gave him a new perspective on things. First of all, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu
Four people divided the Central Plains, with Yuan Shu being the strongest. However, Yuan Shu was deceived by Sun Ce and lost the opportunity to develop to the south of the Yangtze River. Followed by Cao Cao, Cao Cao was ambitious and had occupied most of Yanzhou and Qingzhou. The next step was to attack Xuzhou.
If Xuzhou is captured, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to recover. Although Liu Bei eliminates Xuzhou, he has the help of Chen Gui and Mi Zhu. With the strength of Hei Bing to repay Liu Bei's ambition, it is not impossible to succeed in a short time. Although the weakest one is Lu Bu, but
Lu Bu had a unique advantage. On his left and right were Cao Cao and Long Fei. Both of them wanted to win over him, and with Chen Gong's plan, if Cao Cao moved eastward, Lu Bu would suddenly attack Cao Cao, and he would have a chance of winning.
These four families originally restricted each other and reached a strange balance. No one dared to move, so the four of them lived in peace. The original purpose of Long Fei's trip to Yanzhou was to muddy the water in the pool, but because he behaved too much,
It was too eye-catching and offended almost every prince. So he decided to cultivate a buffer zone. Runan was a good choice.
By making Runan independent from Yuan Shu, even if the entire Central Plains was out of control, and with Yuzhou acting as a buffer, Long Fei had the opportunity to readjust. That's why he was willing to live in both Liu Pi and Gong. It turned the original four families into
Now that we have become the five families, we have the basis for disputes. With the foundation, we should take action. Only when everyone is staring at each other, no one will look at him.
A teacher in the sniper course once said that being an excellent sniper does not mean how accurate your marksmanship is or how superb your shooting skills are, but your concealment skills. If the enemy can never find you, even if he is a marksman, he will not be able to detect you.
Lost the target. This is the situation Long Fei is in now. He is not good at marksmanship and fighting. Facing a powerful enemy, it is best to hide and hide again.
Long Fei asked Liu Pi to send Yuan Shu to him, actually to scare him. What Li Ru said about Liu Bei's attack on Shouchun was not true. They wanted to use this to lure Yuan Shu. As long as Yuan Shu made a slight mistake, he could immediately hand it over to Liu.
If Yuan Shu makes a slight mistake, the balance of the four families in the Central Plains will be broken. If the four families fight in a melee, he will be safe.
Liu Pi was also smart, and he would never give up his hard-won victory in Runan. He was also extremely careful in a place surrounded by powerful enemies, and he could not afford to offend anyone. Therefore, Long Fei handed over Yuan Shu.
When he gave it to himself, he did not embarrass Yuan Shu and still tried to persuade him. But Long Fei couldn't leave, and he didn't dare to be too submissive to Yuan Shu.
"Fengxiao! When do you think we will leave Runan?" Long Fei missed Wancheng a little. He had been away for almost a year, so it was time to go back and visit.
Guo Jia fanned twice: "Cao Cao was defeated in the battle of Panlongxi. He will not look west in the short term. The most likely thing is to use troops against Xuzhou. But I don't know if Xuzhou is ready. According to the intelligence report,
Liu Bei is recruiting troops recently, and Zang Ba and others in Xiapi seem to have loosened their control. If Liu Bei controls Xuzhou, Cao Cao may not be able to win."
"you mean……?"
Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Yuan Shu has long wanted to station troops in Xuzhou, why not give Yuan Shu a chance?"
"Can he capture Xuzhou?"
Guo Jia shook his head: "I don't know. If Yuan Shu joins forces with Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou, there may be hope!"
"So, we can go back now?"
Guo Jia shook his head again: "There are many excuses for attacking Xuzhou and Cao Cao, but Yuan Shu has no excuses. Without excuses, it is unfair to start a war. This battle has already been defeated by three points. It is best to find an attacker for Yuan Shu."
Xuzhou's reason." Long Fei nodded, turned to look at Chengdao and Meng Shuo, called them over, and after a few words of instruction, they agreed and turned around to go out.
Boring days are always difficult. Although his Runan is treated like a distinguished guest, it is still not his place, and he does not speak and act so confidently. This afternoon, Long Fei invited Liu Pi and Yuan Shu to go outside the city to enjoy the flowers.
Spring has begun, and the winter that has been frozen for several months has just passed. The tenacious wildflowers are trying their best to stretch out their buds from under the frozen soil. This is the power of life.
Although Liu Pi and Yuan Shu didn't care about this, they still pretended to be intoxicated. In fact, spring had just begun and there was still some time before the flower viewing season, but they had to come because of Long Fei's invitation. As soon as they stepped out of the city gate,
Yang Hong lifted up his robe with one hand and ran staggeringly: "My lord, my lord! Something big has happened!"
Several people stopped in a hurry. After Yang Hong saluted, he said to Yuan Shu: "Xuzhou Liu Bei sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each with 10,000 troops. From Xia Cai and Xu Yu, they attacked from both sides. Several prefectures and counties were already preparing for war. Shouchun is in urgent need. I beg you."
My lord, hurry back to Shouchun immediately."
"This..." Yuan Shu didn't know how to answer, so he turned to look at Long Fei and Liu Pi.
Long Fei and Liu Pi pretended not to notice, commenting on today's weather. Yuan Shu sighed: "Isn't Yao'er in Shouchun? Just let him make the decision!"
"My lord!" Yang Hong knelt down in front of Yuan Shu: "This matter is of great importance, and the young master is too young to handle it!" After saying this, Yang Hong suddenly thought of something. He quickly turned around on his knees, kowtowed to Long Fei and Liu Pi and said, "Two
Generals, Yangzhou is in trouble. If Liu Bei captures Yangzhou and Yuzhou is in danger, I beg you two generals to let my lord return to Shouchun! Yang Hong is begging you two!"
Although Yang Hong is a cunning villain, he can be regarded as a loyal minister to Yuan Shu. What Yang Hong said seems to make sense. Long Fei was still hesitant, but Guo Jia said: "What Yang Changshi said is extremely true.
, if Yangzhou is lost, Liu Bei will definitely grow stronger, and the next step is Yuzhou. If we don’t send troops to meet the enemy quickly, I am afraid this war will sweep the entire world."
Liu Pi nodded: "Mr. Guo is right. We and the generals are all Han subjects. How can we watch the land of the Han Dynasty being taken over by villains like Liu Bei who pretend to be descendants of the royal family? How about..."
"Prefect Liu!" Long Fei suddenly turned his face and looked at Liu Pi. Liu Pi was startled and thought that what he said was not what Long Fei meant. He screamed inwardly, but when he was about to defend himself, he heard Long Fei say: "Then immediately
There is no need to delay in ordering someone to send the general to his birthday party!"
Whether it was Liu Pi or Yang Hong, Yuan Shu all let out a sigh of relief. After saying this, Yuan Shu was a little frowning, holding Long Fei's hand for a long time and unwilling to let go. The farewell scene was unforgettable for everyone, and ordinary people would never see it.
, you will definitely think that these two are inseparable brothers. Everyone who knows the inside story understands that this is just a play, a play performed for each other. As soon as Yuan Shu leaves, Long Fei is also ready to meet Wancheng
, another farewell. After living in Runan for nearly a month, Liu Pi made many promises and spent money like water. As long as he could keep Runan, he felt that it was all worth it.
One headed east and the other west, bustling Runan finally returned to its former peace. Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Li Dian and Le Jin and really didn't know what to say. If he killed Long Fei, it would be a great achievement.
, now instead of killing Long Fei, he has developed such a deep hatred. With Long Fei's character, he must retaliate. As for when and how, he can't guess.
"What are the losses of our army?" Cao ** said with a face.
"Eight thousand soldiers and two thousand cavalry!" Xia Houyuan replied hastily.
"Fortunately, it's not too big!" Cao Cao sighed: "It's my fault for not thinking carefully about this matter. If I had been devoted to Xuzhou and not allowing you to return troops to intercept and kill Long Fei, this wouldn't have happened! Everyone, go down!"
"Report...! Lord, something has changed in Xuzhou!" Xiahoudun and the others stopped immediately after hearing these words before they left the house.
Cao Cao took out the bamboo slips and after reading two lines, his eyes started to shine. He stood up and said, "Okay! God is really helping me! Order the three armies to prepare for the Eastern March!"
Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "Why is my lord so anxious? What if Lu Bu changes?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Yuan Shu from Yangzhou has led his troops to the north, and Liu Bei is overwhelmed. At this time, the troops are sent to attack from both sides. Xuzhou is divided with Yuan Shu, leaving Miao Cai to garrison the east county for sure!"
Cao Cao had made up his mind, and his subordinates had nothing to say. The army gathered early the next morning. Cao Cao's army had completed the flag sacrifice and marched towards Xuzhou under the banner of revenge for Cao Song.
After Liu Bei won Xuzhou, he felt very happy and obeyed the advice of Mi Zhu and Chen Gui. He opened warehouses and distributed grain to win over the people, hired children from the Xuzhou family as officials to win over soldiers, and recruited troops to consolidate his position. Everything went smoothly.
, Liu Bei went to the lobby every day, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng handled all political affairs in an orderly manner, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici began to train the new recruits. He believed that it would not be long before Xuzhou would completely become his own Xuzhou.
At noon that day, Liu Bei and Sun Qian were playing chess in the back garden of the Prefectural Mufu. Mi Zhu came in in a hurry and almost fell down when going up the steps. Liu Bei laughed: "Why is Zizhong so panicked? It seems like he has lost money.
?”
Mi Zhu ignored Liu Bei's teasing and said: "It's a big deal! It's a big deal! Yuan Shu sent generals Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to lead troops from Xiacai and Linhuai to attack in two directions!"
"Ah!" Liu Bei was so shocked that he couldn't hold the chess piece in his hand and fell to the chessboard.
"This is nothing, Cao Cao led an army of 50,000 and rushed to Xuzhou!" Mi Zhu said, his hands were shaking, and he was a little helpless.
