"Gongsun Zan..." Hearing Jushu mention Gongsun Zan's name, Wen Yuan's heart moved. He seemed to have grasped something. His thoughts were running rapidly. After a while, he made a decision.
Wen Yuan immediately said seriously: "It is exactly what General Tian said. The task of eradicating evil is over. Yuan Tan's defeated troops retreated to Hejian and the two counties of Bohai. Although they suffered a disastrous defeat, they still refused to give up. General Tian, General Liu, I ordered you two to each take one. Soldiers and horses. Send out troops today to conquer the two counties."
Saying these words actually implies that Wenyuan decided to hand over the two counties of Hejian and Bohai to Gongsun Zan. Politics is something that is glamorous on the surface but naked in the dark. After all, Gongsun Zan also contributed. Now the meat has been taken by Wen He swallowed it far. It would be too unkind if he refused to leave even a mouthful of soup for his allies. He would have a bad reputation of greed and betrayal. If so, I'm afraid he would be the one who would be attacked by a group soon.
Moreover, Wenyuan did not want to create too many opponents at this time.
"The last general takes orders." The two of them responded with enthusiasm. Liu Bei, who was behind Tian Kai, was secretly delighted. He tried his best to persuade Tian Kai to ask Wen Yuan for military service. It was just to gain more territory and fame. Of course, he was also worried in his heart. The reason for Wen Yuan. Liu Bei felt excited at the thought of soon leaving the man in front of him who gave him a huge sense of crisis. A rare and obvious joy appeared on his face.
Now, although Yuan's army still has 30,000 troops, its morale is disorganized. It's time to beat up the lost dog. As long as Yuan Tan is defeated and occupied, and then he occupies one of Nanpi or Hejian counties, his strength will be further improved.
Tian Kaixin turned around and left happily. However, Liu Bei did not leave. Instead, he bowed his hands to Wenyuan and said, "Alliance leader, I still have something to ask for."
"Oh. Xuande Gong and Liao Ben are old acquaintances. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. You're welcome." Wen Yuan chuckled, but his heart was filled with excitement. He had been secretly paying attention to every move of this big hero. He only felt that Liu Bei was doing this. The depth of the city is rare in this world, and its tenacity far exceeds that of ordinary people. It must be handled with extreme caution.
"Be prepared for the great Han clan. It is my duty to attack Yuan Tan this time. I will definitely live up to the imperial will and the alliance leader's entrustment. But... I have few soldiers and few generals. I am afraid that I will betray the alliance leader's trust. I wonder if the alliance leader can borrow some troops and horses. In the hope that Must win."
"This..." Wen Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. The counselors around him also became embarrassed. I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen such thick-skinned people. It's just a high-sounding statement to send troops to seize territory. We still have to start from Wen Yuan. Borrow troops in hand.
According to Wenyuan's past life information, Liu Bei has two incredible skills that no one can match. One is crying and the other is borrowing.
Needless to say, crying. This is almost a must-have talent skill for Liu Bei to recruit talents. Another skill is also easy to use.
To save Kong Rong, Liu Bei borrowed three thousand soldiers from Gongsun Zan. He also borrowed the famous general Zhao Yun to defeat Yuan Shu. Liu Bei also borrowed troops from Cao Cao, not to mention Jingzhou. In short, he often borrowed troops, horses and land from others in his life. Most of them are borrowed and never returned. Originally, Wen Yuan only heard about them but never saw them with his own eyes. Today, I learned them personally.
However, Wen Yuan was not one of Yi's people. He thought to himself: "You are so lucky, Liu Da'er. Hejian and Bohai have been given to you. You actually have the nerve to borrow troops from me and use my troops to fight for your territory." Your brain must have been jammed. Okay, you want to borrow it, okay. Let’s see if you have the guts to accept it.”
Wen Yuan had a thought in his mind. He already had a plan in mind. He laughed loudly and said: "Borrowing troops, right? It's easy to talk about. Ten thousand or twenty thousand is not enough. But I can borrow troops. I also have a merciless request. I hope Xuande promise."
"Seriously, the alliance leader has an order. As long as Bei can do it, he will obey." Liu Bei said in surprise. He originally thought that relying on his little face, Zhang Liao might not agree. At most, he just wanted to lend a hand. Two or three thousand soldiers. But even this is better than nothing. It was drilled by others anyway. If you don't borrow it, it will be for nothing.
Wen Yuan showed a playful smile and said: "Haha. That's it. It has been known that Guan and Zhang under Duke Xuande are enemies of ten thousand people. My two generals, Zhao Yun and Yan Liang, have always wanted to find an opportunity to fight with the second brother Guan and Zhang San. Let me compete with each other in martial arts. I wonder if Duke Xuande can lend one of them to stay in Yecheng for a while. When Duke Xuande leads his troops in triumph, I can meet my brothers again."
"Zhang Liao really wants to recruit my second and third brothers." Liu Bei's heart thumped. Cold sweat dripped down his face. His expression was as uncomfortable as swallowing a cockroach. He said: "Uh... there may be something wrong with this matter. Be prepared. I have become sworn brothers with Guan and Zhang in Taoyuan in the past. We are as close as flesh and blood. We vowed never to be separated. The leader of the alliance demands this. It is really difficult for Bei to be..."
Just kidding. Zhang Liao is a hungry tiger who eats people without spitting out their bones. Look at his ability to recruit Taishi Ci, Qu Yi, and Gao Lan. If the second and third brothers are placed next to him, I'm afraid it won't take a few days...
A cold light flashed in Wen Yuan's eyes. He chuckled and said: "Xuan Degong and Guan and Zhang have a deep brotherhood. Liao really admires it. However, these soldiers under my command have been fighting for more than a year and have been separated from their relatives for a long time. My parents and wives are at home. All children are looking forward to seeing their loved ones back home and being reunited. As Xuande Gong said, how can flesh and blood be separated? Although I intend to help Xuande Gong, how can I bear to prevent my soldiers from being reunited with their families at this time?"
With the spear of the son and the shield of the attack son, Wen Yuan returned Liu Bei's words intact. The reason why you and Guan and Zhang cannot be separated is because of brotherhood. Then I don't lend you soldiers and horses, isn't it because I care about my subordinates? The affection of the sergeant.
"This... in this case, it doesn't matter if you don't want to borrow it. The leader of the alliance, Bei, left now. Liu Bei hurriedly got up and left as if he was avoiding the god of plague. Inadvertently, he got into a fight with Zhou Cang who hurried into the hall. Zhou Cang was very powerful. He immediately killed him. Liu Bei stumbled. Wen Yuan was about to scold him, but he saw Zhou Canghei's face was full of tears, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
"What's the matter?" Wen Yuan's heart thumped. He didn't bother to scold Zhou Cang. He knew that Zhou Cang was a man of temperament. He must have encountered some shocking change because he was so sad about losing his position.
"My lord, something bad happened. Mrs. Ning..." Zhou Cang knelt down in front of Wen Yuan and cried.
"Ning'er, what's wrong with her..." Wen Yuan's pupils shrank for a while and he asked in shock. He covered his mouth mid-sentence. He was not a stupid person. Seeing Zhou Cang's expression, he had already guessed. His whole person felt like he was struck by lightning. Standing there like a statue.
Somehow, Wen Yuan suddenly recalled the bizarre dream he had a few days ago. The plot in the dream suddenly became clear. Isn't that beautiful woman in white clothes and riding a crane who is Ning'er?
