Seeing Liu Bei's expression was different, Liu Xiu asked in surprise: "Xuande, what's the matter? Are you not in good health? Are you too tired recently?" Liu Bei was about to answer smoothly, but suddenly he felt a drum in his heart, and he quickly forced a smile and said: "No, no, I just feel that Bogui left too suddenly and didn't even bring food and grass, which is a bit inappropriate." "Oh, that's not a problem. There is a merchant ship at the seaside, and there should be enough food and grass for him." Liu Xiu waved his hand disapprovingly: "Food and fodder for seven or eight thousand cavalry is not a big problem." "Oh, that's good." Liu Bei just nodded, and suddenly he was stunned: "Seven or eight thousand cavalry? Except for Bogui, Who else?" "Bogui fought Yuan Shao and lost hundreds of people. I was worried that he was short of troops, so I sent three thousand cavalry from Shanggu Wuhuan to help him." Liu Bei's clothes were soaked in cold sweat. Seven or eight thousand cavalry, led by Gongsun Zan, a master of cavalry in northern Xinjiang, my God, Liaodong is over. "Xuande, Xuande?" Liu Xiu patted Liu Bei's shoulder with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Liu Bei wanted to cry but had no tears. He was so anxious that he couldn't show it in front of Liu Xiu. He left more than 3,000 cavalry in Liaodong, led by Chang Shi Li Min. Li Min has some talent, but it may not be enough to face Gongsun Zan. He wished he could spread his wings and fly back to Liaodong now, but he also knew that if Liu Xiu didn't nod, he wouldn't be able to leave at all. He didn¡¯t even dare to say that he was tired, because he was afraid that Liu Xiu would wait for him to say that he was tired so that he could take the opportunity to receive all his troops. "Nothing, nothing. Brother's use of troops is really full of surprises, which makes people hard to guard against." Liu Bei thought for a while, and felt that these words were too explicit, so he quickly added: "From the time we boarded the ship to the time we killed Yuan Shao, it was only half a month." Months of time are really breathtaking. "It's nothing. You only saw that I spent half a month, but you didn't know that I had been preparing for half a year." Liu Xiu put his arm around Liu Bei's shoulders. . He said earnestly: "Xuande, if you want to do big things, you have to work hard. When the time has not come, you have to be patient and sit still. When the time comes, you have to make up your mind and act quickly and ruthlessly." " Brother, that's a lesson." Liu Bei nodded nervously. He was currently focused on telling Liaodong to be careful of Gongsun Zan, so how could he be in the mood to listen to Liu Xiu's glorious history? "For example, you wanted to make meritorious deeds before, but there was no chance. You were a little anxious, so you went to join the Yuan family." Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei's distracted look. I couldn't help but laugh secretly, and suddenly wanted to tease him. The more he wanted to laugh in his heart, the more serious his face became, and he specifically mentioned the Yuan family. Sure enough, mentioning the Yuan family. Liu Bei trembled and suddenly became alert. "Brother, it was your arrangement to go to Nanyang to join Yuan Shu." Liu Xiu nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know, I didn't say anything to you, I just talked about the matter. You didn't have a chance at that time. You were anxious, so I let you You went to Nanyang to join Yuan Shu. This time I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. Don't you think so?" Liu Bei's face turned pale. Liu Xiu was right. He crossed the river all the way to Jizhou, but his success was uncertain, and the war came to an end. It seems a little unreasonable to return to Liaodong like this. "Thenbrother, leave Yixian to me." "Yixian?" Liu Xiu laughed, "Do you want to fight in Yixian again? Yuan Shao is dead, but Jushu's son Juhudi is in the prisoner camp. I I don¡¯t believe that Jushou will defend the city.¡± Liu Bei smiled awkwardly: ¡°Then what other tasks do you have for me?¡± ¡°I have a task, but it¡¯s a bit far away.¡± Liu Bei wanted to pat his chest, but then he thought about it. , fearing that it would be another trap, he changed his words: "If I can do it, I will do it without any hesitation." "Western Region, are you going?" Liu Xiu blinked: "After we finish here, I'm going to take care of Murong Feng. Are you interested in going with me? " "Western Region?" Liu Bei smacked his lips, secretly glad that he hadn't been fooled by Liu Xiu just now. "It's too far, it's too far." "I'm just saying, you should go and fight Goguryeo and Sanhan with peace of mind." Liu Xiu let go of Liu Bei's shoulders, clapped his hands and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." Liu Bei Finally he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought of Mi Zhu again. Since Liu Xiu is not dead, Mi Zhu certainly cannot make his own decisions. Whether he can go to Liaodong to help will obviously depend on the advice of the King of Chu in front of him. "Brother, Goguryeo and the Three Hans are not weak. If I want to conquer them or even go further, I need your help." "Don't worry, I have arrangements. Last time Mi Zhu You must have seen it before, he will help you deal with the food and supplies, and you will exchange the loot when the time comes, just don't let me suffer." Liu Bei nodded repeatedly. "In addition, I also arranged someThe division will help you and launch an attack from the sea. Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei with a smile: "It's the Yizhou Navy led by Gan Ning. There are about five to six thousand people, all of whom are warlike elites." Gan Ning, as you know, is a restless guy. If he stays in the country and has nothing to do, he will cause trouble. It is only right to let him go and kill him. " Liu Bei's heart that had just been put down was raised again, and he almost burst out of his chest. Gan Ning? Navy? Oh my god, are they going to kill the three Han people or me? Liu Bei looked at Liu Xiu blankly, He couldn't control his emotions anymore, and the sweat on his face kept flowing like a waterfall. He wanted to laugh, but it was worse than crying. "Brother, Gan Ning there's no need. I just want the current troops." It is enough to take them back and conquer Goguryeo and Three Koreas. " "It's not just Goguryeo and Samhan. "Liu Xiu said displeasedly: "You forgot what I told you, there is still Japan. " "Japanese country has no problem. Liu Bei waved his hands hurriedly: "I can do it. I can do it on my own. I don't need Gan Ning's help." Brother, you can take him to the Western Regions, or you can send him to other places. You don¡¯t have to send them all to help me. Liu Bei was almost begging: "I'm afraid I can't bear your kindness." " "Is that so? Liu Xiu didn't insist and thought for a moment, "Okay, you can do it yourself first. If you can't do it, I will send Gan Ning to help you." " "Alas, alas. "Liu Bei was granted an amnesty. He didn't dare to discuss the future with Liu Xiu anymore. His heart couldn't bear this sudden surprise. "Brother, the weather is too hot. We'd better return to the camp quickly and discuss it slowly. " "It makes sense, it is indeed a bit hot. "Liu Xiu suppressed his laughter: "Xuande. Have you acquired too many wives and concubines? Your bones seem a little weak. Look at you sweating so much. Even the collar was wet. Oh, by the way, I heard that you just gave birth to a son. Have you chosen a name? What is it called? " As Liu Xiu said, Jushou learned that Yuan Shao had died in battle, and he no longer had any fighting spirit. As soon as Liu Xiu's envoys to persuade him to surrender arrived, Jushou put down his weapons and surrendered from Kaicheng. The counties in Youzhou occupied by Yuan Shao also No exception, Yuan Shao is dead, what's the point of their insistence, not to mention that they are not willing to submit to Yuan Shao. In less than half a month, the whole territory of Youzhou will decide to return to the imperial rule. Arrange the army to march south, and inform General Cao Cao that you can send troops. After receiving the news, Cao Cao immediately vowed to go out. His troops have not been idle during this period, first to defend Yuan Shao, and then to defend Liu Xiu. In preparation for war, it only took him two days after receiving Liu Xiu's order to lead an army of 50,000 across the Yellow River, and after joining Huangfu Song and others in Liyang, they headed towards Yecheng. Having just received the news that Yuan Shao had died in battle, people were in chaos. Many people fled overnight. Yuan Tan, who was in charge of Yecheng, was at a loss and didn't know what to do. His first thought was to surrender. He immediately opened the city and surrendered. Stop fighting, Liu. Xiu's soldiers are too cunning. Even my father is no match for him. He died on the battlefield, and I am even less likely to be his match. Yi County has been lost, and Jizhou has been lost. I surrender as soon as possible before the two sides start fighting. Don't make it look like this. Just like Shen Pei, if he surrenders after defeat, he will inevitably die. When Yuan Tan Liushen was left without a master, Feng Ji vetoed his decision. Feng Ji said that he must surrender. Now the imperial army is attacking from all sides, and Jizhou is in danger. , Yecheng alone will definitely not be able to hold on for too long. The problem is that we can't hold on for long, and we have to persist. If we want to surrender, we have to negotiate terms before surrendering. Otherwise, won't you be helpless at the mercy of Liu Xiu? He looked at Feng Ji, what to talk about and how to talk about it? Feng Ji said, of course it is about the handling of the Yuan family after the surrender. Look at the current situation in Runan and how Xun Yu dealt with the big families in Runan. , all those who had followed the Yuan family at that time were now treated to varying degrees, and were severely exiled to the border areas. The best ones were moved to the south of Jingzhou. Although their lives were saved, their family fortunes were completely destroyed. The biggest assets of wealthy families are their properties and manors. Once they are exiled, these cannot be moved away. After all, the things they can take away are limited. The wealth they have accumulated over several generations will be completely deprived of them. If you surrender like this, you will also end up with the same result, including those who follow you, especially the people in Jizhou, they will have nothing. If you are willing to surrender, they will not be willing. If you are pushed hard, they may raise an army to kill you. Use your head to please Liu Xiu. Yuan Tan was frightened. What should he do? Feng Ji comforted Yuan Tan and said, since the people of Jizhou are not willing to surrender like this, then the people's hearts are still available. You can use these people's hearts to negotiate with Cao Cao. , strive for the best result, at least not to be exiled like the wealthy people in Runan. In order to prove that his suggestion is correct, Feng Ji united with the civil servants and generals from Jizhou and explained to them the court's treatment of the wealthy people in Runan. ?These people were so frightened that they suddenly became hesitant to surrender. "Don't forget, Shen Pei's head was chopped off by Liu Xiu, and Shen Rong has been sent to Jiaozhou for custody. Once Jizhou is defeated, the Shen family will not escape disaster, and the same will be true for you." Feng Ji said with a sullen face. He sneered and said: "So, if anyone wants to make a deal with Liu Xiu behind the young master's back, I advise you to give up. If you want to get the best result, you can only unite and let them see what this Ye City , not that easy to fight." Everyone looked at each other with their own thoughts. He did not hide his intention to take advantage of their thoughts, and many people could see this. The problem is that Feng Ji didn't say anything. It was not a false threat. The Shen family is a living example. No one wants to be killed by Liu Xiu like Shen Pei, and no one wants to be exiled to the border areas like the Shen family. Feng Ji paused and then said: "What's more, we still have an important bargaining chip." - Please vote for recommendation! Asking for a monthly ticket!
