Can I get to the other side?

After some in-depth self-examination, Liu Xie asked Guo Jia how Liu Bei survived, and Guo Jia did not sell out and told him the truth.

"Five thousand soldiers and horses, capture Pei County in ten days?"

Liu Xie felt incredible when he heard this.

Although Peixian County is not big, it is impossible to capture it within ten days with only five thousand soldiers and horses.

"That's right."

Guo Jia nodded and continued: "But in fact, capturing Peixian County is not as difficult as your Majesty thinks."

"Pei County is just a small city that can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at most. If Liu Bei only led 5,000 people to attack, it would be extremely difficult to capture. However, Liu Bei has been operating in Peixian County for a long time, so there must be support within the city. The inside should be coordinated with the outside. Now that Yuan Shao's army is holding the battle, the fighting spirit of the defenders in the city will inevitably be affected, and Lu Bu may not dare to send an army to help, so Liu Bei may not be dead now. "

"All in all, it's not easy to rely on this opportunity to survive."

After Guo Jia analyzed this, Liu Xie suddenly understood.

At the same time, he also had some admiration for Liu Bei.

He is worthy of being the future Lord of Shu Han, he is truly extraordinary.

After sighing in his heart for a while, Liu Xie said: "Continue to investigate secretly. If you have any new information, remember to tell me in time, or ask Zhang He to convey it on your behalf."

Now Guo Jia is his eyes and ears buried in Yuan Shao.

Through Guo Jia, he can grasp Yuan Shao's every move, as well as changes in the outside world and various news, which Zhang He cannot do.

"I obey the decree."

…

This year has been full of ups and downs.

But after the incident at the New Year's Eve banquet, nothing else happened.

Yuan Shao began to mobilize troops and generals and collect food and grass to prepare for the departure of the army.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang led five thousand soldiers and horses and began to drill day and night.

Liu Xie, under the arrangement of Yuan Shao, went to the countryside to worship heaven, worship his ancestors from a distance, and pray for the great Han Dynasty.

Everything went according to plan.

Soon half a month passed.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, fire meets the greedy wolf, and integrity and chastity are paired.

It is advisable to order generals and go on an expedition.

In order to suppress Liu Bei's battle, Yuan Shao prepared a total of 50,000 troops this time, and let the army set off together to follow Liu Bei to attack Peixian County.

And what kind of concept is fifty thousand people?

Liu Xie actually didn't know much about it.

In the past, when reading history books and watching TV dramas, he often saw armies of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but he did not have a clear understanding. In his eyes, it was just a number, and fifty thousand was not too much in his eyes.

But this time he saw it with his own eyes.

On top of the city tower in Yecheng.

Liu Xie looked at the endless army that stretched for miles outside the city, like a black wave, and for the first time he felt a shock from the bottom of his heart.

The flags are fierce, the armor is majestic, and the swords are cold.

Facing such a large army, Liu Xie truly understood how insignificant a person was and how terrifying Yuan Shao's strength was.

You must know that this is only a part of Yuan Shao's army! Yuan Shao's army is more than 50,000!

"Is this the background of the Fourth Third Master Yuan Benchu?"

Liu Xie suppressed the shock in his heart, thinking silently in his heart, and at the same time turned his gaze to the others beside him.

Not only was he alone on the city gate tower, but Liu, Guan, and Zhang, as well as Yuan Shao and a group of civil servants and generals under his command, were all gathered here.

Because today is the day to review the troops and set off.

Unlike Liu Xie's shock, the reactions of others seemed much duller. Even when faced with such a terrifying army, they did not show much shock.

It seems that he is the only one who has never seen the world.

Coming to this embarrassing conclusion, Liu Xie decided not to speak anymore and pretended to be aloof first so as not to show his cowardice.

Yuan Shao surveyed the army outside the city, with a look of pride on his face. He held the sword at his waist, turned his gaze to Liu Bei, and spoke with a smile.

"Xuande, I plan to send 50,000 troops to hold down the battle for you this time. They will definitely help you take Peixian County!"

Liu Bei was also wearing armor. When he heard this, he raised his hands and said seriously: "General, I am grateful for your help. I will go all out! We will live up to our mission!"

He understood that this 50,000-strong army was not only holding the battle for him, but also a sharp blade across his neck.

If he takes Peixian, everything will be easy.

If he cannot take it, then he will be dealt with by military law first, and then Yuan Shao's army will be sent out to capture Peixian County!

"very good!"

Yuan Shao was very satisfied, and then said: "In this battle, you will be the vanguard, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will be your lieutenants, and we will lead a total of 5,000 troops to attack Peixian County!"

"This is a military talisman. With this order, the Shanzi camp can be mobilized!"

Yuan Shao threw an iron military talisman to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took it with both hands, then clasped his fists tightly and said solemnly: "Thank you, General!"

Then he turned around and went downstairs with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After Liu Bei left, Yuan Shao asked again: "Where are Yan Liang and Wen Chou?"

"The general is here!"

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and both came out together.

Yuan Shao also threw them two military talismans and said coldly: "You will each lead ten thousand troops to the left and right flanks of the army. Always pay attention to Liu Bei's movements. If he wants to escape from the battle, immediately lead the army and kill him on the spot!"

"If he fails to attack the city, you will take over Pei County!"

His words were filled with deep murderous intent.

"The last general takes command!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou took over the military symbols and also retreated.

After doing all this, Yuan Shao was completely relieved. He looked at Liu, Guan, and Zhang who had already left the city and headed for the army under the city gate tower, and smiled coldly.

They were all just his pawns.

This time, he would take Pei County no matter what, and use Pei County as a springboard to seize Xuzhou in the future. How could Lu Bu fight him?

After occupying Xuzhou, he could free up his hands to attack Gongsun Zan in the north, resist Yuan Shu in the south, and attack Cao Cao in the west. By then, the world would be at his fingertips!

As for Liu Bei? He is just a dead bone in a tomb!

He, Yuan Shao, is the one who is destined to be the emperor!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao could no longer suppress his excitement. He suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and shouted sternly: "The army is on the march!"

"Dongdong--!"

The deafening drum sounded, and the 50,000 troops shouted angrily, and the shouts went straight to the sky.

Liu Xie was extremely shocked when he saw this scene.

He also longed to hold troops and fight for the world.

"Damn it, I'm just a puppet emperor now, and a fake one at that."

"I'll have to discuss the plan of usurping the throne with Guo Jia later."
