Four hundred and ninetieth chapters three offerings
Hearing what the young man said, Liu Bei had a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said, "How could I not know that it was just too dangerous in the Governor's Mansion just now! I really can't stay in Tao Qian's territory.
Stay! If you continue to stay in the city, I'm afraid it will expose your flaws!" As he said that, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead in a somewhat exaggerated way.
Regarding Liu Bei's words, the young man could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and said: "But even so, it doesn't matter much! If Tao Qian really wanted to deal with his lord, he could just come and kill us blatantly! Why bother?
Do you want to be so pretentious? Hum, this Tao Qian is too indecisive in doing things, how can he be my lord's opponent! My lord, you can rest assured!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't understand a word of the conversation between Liu Bei and the young man. Finally, Zhang Fei couldn't help it anymore and interrupted and shouted: "Ouch! Brother! What happened? Who is it?
Are they coming to kill you? Is it Cao Bao? Or Tao Qian?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had just seen it with their own eyes that Cao Bao and Liu Bei were not eye-to-eye, so Zhang Fei's first guess was that it was Cao Bao, but when he thought about it later,
Liu Bei only became like this after he came out of Tao Qian's room, so he thought of Tao Qian again.
Liu Bei laughed bitterly again, and then recounted what had just happened in Tao Qian's wing. When Liu Bei mentioned that Tao Qian wanted to give up the position of Xuzhou governor to him, Zhang Fei immediately couldn't help it.
He shouted, "This is a great thing! After you become the governor of Xuzhou, everyone in Xuzhou will have to listen to you! Brother! Have you agreed?"
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "To be honest! The moment Tao Qian said this, I was indeed tempted! But soon, I found something was wrong! That was around the wing, everywhere
It's full of murderous intent! I'm sure that if I had taken over the official seal at that time, what would have greeted us would have been a big war!" Liu Bei was born in the military and has been fighting on the battlefield all year round. For this kind of murderous intent, then
Couldn't be more sensitive!
"Ah!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both exclaimed, and then Guan Yu frowned and said, "Brother, what do you mean, Tao Qian gave up his position to you this time just to test you?"
"Not bad!" This time it was the young man who replied: "I guessed from the expressions of Chen Gui, Cao Bao and those Xuzhou officials that Tao Qian might give up the position of Xuzhou governor to the lord! But in the end, I
I realized that Tao Qian had no good intentions at all! Fortunately, my lord saw the opportunity quickly and did not let Tao Qian's plan succeed!"
"Humph!" After hearing Liu Bei's explanation, Zhang Fei immediately became angry. He snorted coldly, turned around with a snake spear of eight feet in hand, and wanted to fight back to Pengcheng. He shouted: "Old man Tao Qian! How dare you do this?
Wait for some means! I'm going to kill him right now! Isn't he unwilling to hand over the position of Xuzhou Governor? Huh! I'll kill him and just grab him!"
"Third brother! Don't be impulsive!" When Liu Bei saw him, he shouted out to Zhang Fei and grabbed Zhang Fei's reins. On the other side, Guan Yu also grabbed Zhang Fei's arm.
Don't let Zhang Fei go. Liu Bei advised earnestly: "Third brother! Don't act on your own initiative! After all, we are Tao Qian's subordinates now. If we attack Tao Qian, it will only make everyone in the world despise me. Liu Xuande is a betrayer."
Man! Third brother! Do you really want to trap me into being unkind and unjust?"
"Uh!" What Zhang Fei fears most in his life is that he is his two sworn brothers. Liu Bei has mentioned this, so Zhang Fei will naturally no longer say that he wants to kill Tao Qian, but can only retreat with a face full of sarcasm.
Come down.
On the other side, Guan Yu said to Liu Bei with a gloomy face: "Brother! What should we do now?"
Hearing Guan Yu's question, Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned, and then fell into hard thinking. After thinking for a long time, Liu Bei couldn't think of a reason, and finally he could only helplessly raise his head and look at the young man.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "I wonder if you, sir, have any clever tips that you can teach me?"
The young man smiled faintly and said: "My lord! Now, my subordinates have thought of three ways for my lord to choose! First, my lord rushed back to Guangling, mobilized all the troops in Guangling, and listed Tao Qian's crimes.
, announce to the world, and then raise troops to attack Pengcheng, bringing the entire Xuzhou under the control of the lord! Secondly, the lord can temporarily return to Guangling, and then send people to contact the major families in Xuzhou, so that they can put pressure on Tao Qian and improve the lord's position in Xuzhou
In this way, Tao Qian would not dare to do anything to his lord! And the last solution is for the lord to return to Guangling immediately and become the prefect of Guangling safely."
"Uh!" Among the three methods given by the young man, Liu Bei first excluded the third method! Although being a stable governor of Guangling can indeed ensure Liu Bei's safety, for the ambitious Liu Bei
, this ending was not what Liu Bei wanted! The remaining two methods gave Liu Bei a headache, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while. On the other hand, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei next to him started arguing over these two methods.
Zhang Fei, who had a bad temper, immediately yelled: "What are you thinking about? Brother! I think the first method Mr. said is good! We will return to Guangling immediately and mobilize the army! I will definitely help big brother to general
Catch that old man Tao Qian! Let him give up the position of governor of Xuzhou to you, my eldest brother, without daring to have any evil intentions!"
On the side, Guan Yu had a different opinion. He said in a deep voice: "Third brother! The method you said is inappropriate! Tao Qian, an old man, has been operating in Xuzhou for many years and has won the hearts of the people. If we act rashly, we will be in trouble in a short time.
It will be difficult to defeat Tao Qian! And if the time is prolonged, it will inevitably attract the attention of the surrounding princes! I am afraid that when the time comes, the snipe and the clam will fight, but it will be the fisherman who will benefit!"
What Guan Yu said hit the mark on Liu Bei's mind! If Tao Qian was the only enemy, Liu Bei could freely fight him head-on. With Liu Bei's ability and the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei would have
This confidence can defeat Tao Qian! But the problem is that there are so many powerful enemies around Xuzhou! Xuzhou, this is a big piece of fat! If you are not careful, you will attract the attack of Cao Cao and others! Think again and again
, Liu Bei finally sighed and said to the young man: "Sir, let's follow the second method you mentioned! I just don't know what arrangements you have for contacting the major families in Xuzhou?"
The young man chuckled, as if the decision made by Liu Bei had already been expected by him, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord! Everything is within my plan! Just keep it and let the lord get what he wants! My lord,
It’s still not advisable to stay here for a long time, we’d better return to Guangling immediately!”
Liu Bei nodded in agreement with the young man's proposal, then looked back at Pengcheng, raised his whip, and rode towards the south, with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the young man following closely behind.
————————————————Dividing Line——————————————————————Outside Jiangxia City, with the sound of war drums,
The brave soldiers launched an attack on the city head again! On the city head, Han Dang looked at the enemy troops gradually approaching outside the city with a haggard look on his face. His face was full of helplessness, and he turned his head and looked to the left and right. He didn't
I thought that I could support it for so many days, but the price paid was huge! Of the three thousand Sun Wu soldiers and horses who had stayed in Jiangxia, there were now less than 500 left, and every one of them was in a depressed state.
It seems that it is impossible to resist Huang Zhong's attack today!
"General Han! The enemy is coming!" On Han Dang's left, General Ding Feng of Sun Wu shouted loudly, while on the other side, Dong Xi didn't even have time to shout, so he picked up the big sword that already had a curled blade in his hand.
He slashed at the brave soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the city!
"Damn it!" Han Dang didn't expect that the enemy would attack so fast and attack the city in one fell swoop. This was much faster than the attack in the previous few days! It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on the city has been greatly improved.
How low it had fallen! Han Dang didn't have the time to sigh, so he took the brass rod and struck the enemy soldier whose head had just popped up in front of him! Immediately, he knocked the head to pieces.
, all of a sudden, red and white all splashed up!
"Whoaaah——!" Dong Xi had a crazy look on his face. He didn't care about the swords and guns that were directed at him, and just waved the long knife desperately to kill him. Although there were more and more wounds on his body, he still couldn't.
Many enemies fell under his sword. Thanks to Dong Xi's desperate efforts, he was able to narrowly block the attack of his brave soldiers!
Han Dang took the time to take a look at Dong Xi, and after confirming that Dong Xi was fine for the time being, he picked up the brass stick and rushed to Ding Feng's side. With one stick, he swept away the few brave soldiers in front of Ding Feng from the city.
Outside, Ding Feng leaned back to back and shouted loudly: "Chengyuan! It seems that we can't defend Jiangxia City! You take Yuan Dai and withdraw from the north of the city immediately! I have prepared ships at the city gate!"
"
Ding Feng held a spear in his hand and killed the enemy troops surrounding him one after another. He leaned on Han Dang's back and fought and retreated, but he shouted loudly: "General Han! Let's go together! Let's go together!"
I can’t leave you here!”
"Nonsense!" If enemies hadn't kept popping up in front of him, Han Dang would have wanted to turn around and slap Ding Feng twice! Dang even shouted: "Now is not the time to act on impulse! Since the commander-in-chief has appointed you as my
Lieutenant general, then you have to listen to me! I want you to retreat now! If you don't listen, you are disobeying the military order! Leave quickly!"
