Compared with Cao Jun, his strength is like a grain of sand. But even so, Cao Jun's first attack target must be Xinye. For this, Liu Bei had already prepared. But looking at Guan Yu and Xu Shu in front of him, Liu Bei suddenly felt a headache.
If the two of them put aside their past grudges, it would definitely be of great help to him. However, looking at the current situation, Liu Bei felt that his thoughts were purely fantasy.
"Fetch me my uncle!" Liu Bei thought for a moment, and then said to the guards around him. Liu Bei obviously didn't want to continue dealing with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, because he didn't know how to resolve the matter.
So I called Chen Dao first, which made the whole room angry and cold.
After a while, Chen arrived at the house. He looked at the situation in the house, then quickly came to Liu Bei, saluted and said, "I have met my lord!"
Seeing Chen Dao, Liu Bei finally showed a smile. Now in Xinye City, the only one he can trust is Chen Dao. Chen Dao not only has extraordinary military power, but also has extraordinary ability to lead troops. Most of the soldiers in Xinye City now
They were all under the command of Chen Dao, and Chen Dao obviously lived up to Liu Bei's trust. In addition to training his own elite soldiers to be powerful in combat, Chen Dao also trained the new recruits in the new field in a good manner.
Although these new soldiers cannot be compared with Cao Jun's hundreds of battles, compared with Liu Biao's troops, Chen Dao is still very confident. After all, the combat effectiveness of Jingzhou's soldiers is really weak.
Lord, I don’t know what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace.[
"Uncle Zhi, how is the training of the new recruits?" Liu Bei waved his hand to signal Chen Dao to stand up, and then asked in a deep voice.
"You can rest assured for the main attack. The newly recruited three thousand soldiers have begun to take shape. Although it is difficult to deal with Cao's army, there is obviously no problem in dealing with the soldiers of other princes!" Chen Dao answered respectfully. Although his tone was very respectful, but
But it was difficult to conceal the confidence in his heart.
Liu Bei nodded politely. In the entire Xinye City, only Chen Dao could make him feel at ease. Although Guan Yu and Xu Shu both gained his trust, they always spoke coldly when they met. Xu Shu was okay, but
Liu Bei, his second brother, really has no choice.
Chen Dao looked at Liu Bei, then frowned, as if hesitant. Liu Bei obviously saw Chen Dao's hesitation at a glance, and then asked: "Uncle Zhi, you can say anything you want, there are no outsiders here.
,Why are you so melancholy?”
Chen Dao looked at it and then said: "My lord, Xinye is not a prosperous place. Now our army of several thousand troops has reached its limit. If we recruit new troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xinye to support such a huge expenditure!"
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and then he came to his senses. Since Cao Jun returned to the court, Liu Bei ordered to recruit new soldiers. Because he was really worried about Cao Jun, he didn't know when Cao Jun would attack, but Cao Jun obviously brought a huge blow to Liu Bei.
pressure, so he made this decision hastily.
Now that he heard Chen Dao's advice, he suddenly realized. What Chen Dao said was absolutely correct. With Xinye's current economic situation, raising thousands of troops has indeed reached the supply limit of Xinye people. If he blindly recruits too many soldiers,
It is difficult for the common people to afford the support. If that time really comes, you will probably know what will happen without even thinking about it.
Liu Bei deeply blamed himself. If it hadn't been for Chen Dao, God knows what would have happened. He glanced at Chen Dao apologetically, and then said: "Uncle Zhi is really my savior. If Uncle Zhi were you, I would really be unlucky."
Know what will happen in Xinye.”
Hearing what Liu Bei said, Xu Shu's expression behind him obviously changed slightly. It was not that Chen Dao had never thought about what he said, but before he could tell Liu Bei, Guan Yu rushed in. When he saw Guan Yu, he let Guan Yu say it again
After a few words, Xu Shu apparently forgot what he wanted to worry about with Liu Bei.
At this moment, Xu Shu began to wonder whether he was still a qualified counselor. A qualified counselor should abandon everything and make suggestions for Liu Bei with peace of mind. This is what he really thought, and he tried to ignore Guan Yu's words and deeds. However, the problem is not that you regard him as a counselor.
It can be solved, after all, Guan Yu will not look down on Xu Shu.
Xu Shu sighed slightly, and then he began to think about some things in his mind. The current situation was completely out of his control. There was no way to reconcile his relationship with Guan Yu. If he retreated, Guan Yu would press hard.
I also wanted to reconcile my relationship with Guan Yu, but it got worse and worse, and finally ended up in this situation.
At this time, Xu Shu was thinking about changing his position in the military. During the period of studying in Jingzhou, he made friends with many talented people in Jingzhou. If these people are given to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's strength will definitely improve in a short period of time.
grow over time.
Just after Xu Shu was thinking about this problem, Zhao Fei was riding on his horse with a sad face. As he got closer and closer to Xu Du, Zhao Fei's mood seemed to become more and more irritable. Originally, it was very exciting for Banshi to return to the court.
But when we arrived at Zhao Fei, everything changed.
Of course, these changes happened due to three people. These three people are Li'er, Zhang Xue and his eldest son. With so many people suddenly added, I really don't know if Cai Yan can accept it.
Looking at the sad look on Zhao Fei's face, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Brother, you have a romantic nature and have incurred so many romantic debts. Now that creditors are coming to your door, let me see how you deal with it!" Guo Jia's tone was full of schadenfreude.
, he obviously enjoyed this moment.
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhao Fei couldn't help but rub his forehead. This guy Guo Jia really dares to say that you often boast of your romantic nature, but now you are describing me. He glanced at Guo Jia, and then
Then he looked at Guo Jia.
Seeing that Zhao Fei ignored him completely, Guo Jia felt very helpless. But in his opinion, Zhao Fei's worries were too much. Not to mention whether his sister-in-law would fall out because of this incident, just talking about Zhao Fei
It is not normal for an outstanding man like Fei to have three wives and four concubines.
Moreover, both Li'er and Zhang Xue are infatuated women. If they really let down two such infatuated women, Guo Jia would have to doubt whether this person is his brother.
"Brother, don't worry. My sister-in-law understands justice well, so how can she blame you!" Seeing Zhao Fei's sad face, Guo Jia put away his teasing look and said to Zhao Fei very accurately.[
Zhao Fei was obviously stunned when he heard what Guo Jia said. Guo Jia rarely talked to him so formally when discussing the war. But it was right to think about it. Yan'er did understand the righteousness. As long as he explained everything clearly,
Presumably Yan'er will not embarrass Li'er and Zhang Xue.
After thinking about this, Zhao Fei obviously felt a lot more relaxed. During the journey from Youzhou back to Xudu, Zhao Fei had been worried. Now that he had figured everything out, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
, with a bright smile on his face.
The towering city walls of Xuchang City gradually appeared in front of Zhao Fei's eyes. Looking at this majestic city, Zhao Fei felt quite emotional in his heart. Outside the war, what he cared about most was probably this majestic and prosperous city.
Because in this city, you have your own family and everything you have.
The battle against Hebei took a long time for Cao Jun. He had not seen his wife, concubines and children for so long. It was obviously impossible to say that he did not miss him. Whether it was Yan'er's intelligence or Yang's tenderness
Like water, or Zhang Ning's liveliness and cheerfulness. All these things filled Zhao Fei's mind, making him miss him and think about them.
Now looking at Xuchang City, which is already very close at hand, the smile on Zhao Fei's face is obviously even more overflowing. At this moment, he is almost ready to return home. If he didn't need to worry about the army, Zhao Fei would have taken the first step.
Zhao Fei and Cao Cao finally arrived at the city gate of Xuchang City. At the city gate, Emperor Xian personally went out of the city to greet the triumphant Cao army. Cao Jun defeated Yuan Shao and occupied Hebei, which greatly increased the strength of Cao Jun.
Although the increase in the strength of Cao's army was not a good thing for Emperor Xian, Cao's army at least had the reputation of fighting against the rebels for the Han Dynasty. Now that Cao's army had successfully defeated the thieves and achieved such results in Hebei, if he, as emperor, did not
Come out, what does it look like?
Moreover, it is gratifying that Cao Jun has achieved such huge results. What's more, everyone in the world knows Cao Cao. As for himself, the emperor who guards the inner courtyard of the palace, no one in the world will know. If he doesn't show his identity,
If he did so, the people of the world would probably forget about him as the emperor.
Even for this simple activity, he only had this opportunity because Xun allowed it. Xun was worthy of being a man who finally came to the Han Dynasty. Although he worked for Cao Cao, sometimes he would still do things that he did not care about.
Seeing Emperor Xian coming out of the city to greet him, Cao Cao frowned slightly on the horse. Obviously, this was not what he expected. He looked at Emperor Xian, then at Xun behind Emperor Xian, and then changed his expression
Converged.
Now that Emperor Xian has come out, nothing can be done to save the situation. Cao Cao hurriedly got off his horse and came to Emperor Xian, and then said: "We have seen the Holy Emperor!"
Although Cao Cao was somewhat reluctant, necessary etiquette was still needed. After all, so many people in Xuchang City were staring at him. If there was really any bad reputation, it would have a huge impact on Cao Cao. As Cao Cao stepped forward to salute,
The civil servants and generals behind Cao Cao also fell to the ground.
Seeing Cao Cao salute him, Emperor Xian felt extremely satisfied. After being a puppet emperor for so long, Emperor Xian felt the glory of being an emperor for the first time. Thinking about how arrogant people like Cao Cao and Zhao Fei would kneel down
Falling in front of him, Emperor Xian naturally felt very good.
"The prime minister is a lonely minister, get up quickly!" Emperor Xian stepped forward hurriedly, supported Cao Cao with both hands, and said loudly.
