The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 10 Chapter 53: road watch

Speaking of Liu Bei, with Xun Zhen's permission, he sent his troops to aid Yuzhou.

And because Liu Bei's headquarters did not have many soldiers and horses, Xun Zhen also planned to allocate more than a thousand soldiers and horses to supplement him.

In this way, it means that Liu Bei's troops and horses to assist Yuzhou this time, plus his headquarters, have a total of almost 4,000 paces to ride up and down.

For so many years since he was entrusted to Xun Zhen, firstly, this is the first time that Liu Bei has led so many troops, and secondly, and more importantly, this is the first time that Liu Bei has led an army to fight alone. Well, Liu Bei was really overjoyed.

After coming out of Xun Zhen's tent, he went to his own camp.

At this time, it was nearly two nights, and most of the soldiers in the battalion had already fallen asleep, and the distance was silent. Occasionally, only the sound of the armor and the collision of the weapons on the patrolling soldiers could be heard. In this night, it was very clear. The spring breeze at night brought a little coolness to his face, but Liu Bei didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness, instead he felt that the wind was blowing him very comfortable.

Stepping on the gravel-paved road, he walked briskly.

As he walked, he thought: "What an unexpected joy, Duke Ming actually allowed me to help Yuzhou! The opportunity is rare, I should try my best to help Sun Bofu keep Yuzhou! In honor of my Liu Bei, The land of Henan and Jing."

Thinking about it, since he started to fight in his hometown, he first followed Lu Zhi, then Gongsun Zan, and finally Xun Zhen, calculating the distance he traveled before and after, it was more than thousands of miles, and the battles he participated in were not less than that. In dozens of battles, his military achievements in the past are not too small, but although he is the clan of the Han family, but the clan of the Han family has proliferated until now, and there are more than tens of thousands. The family voice is low, and there is no reliable backstage, so the future is Jian. After he was put under Xun Zhen's account, although Xun Zhen treated him very kindly, he still did not understand that Xun Zhen would not give him any other responsibility. Sometimes Liu Bei thinks to himself, and even doubts himself, is it because of his "insufficient ability"?

And finally, the hard work paid off, and he got the opportunity to lead the army alone this time.

Liu Bei was really excited the more he thought about it, but he couldn't help but think of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others.

He thought in his heart: "What a pity! It's a pity that Yunchang and Yide are not by my side now. If Yunchang and Yide are both there, then I will go to Yuzhou to rescue this time, and I will be more confident. Speaking of me and Yunchang The three of Yide and Yide have been in love with each other as early as in Youzhou. Back then, when the three of us were clothed, we made a vow together and worked together to achieve fame. Times have changed, but the wish of the past may not be realized!"

Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt a deep sense of loss in addition to his excitement.

Thinking about walking like this. Liu Bei's camp was not too far away from Xun Zhen's main camp of the Chinese army, and before he knew it, he had returned to his own camp. Zhuo Ying and Zhan Qian under his tent, as well as Sun Min who later surrendered to him, as well as the two warriors Chengding and Shiguan he got in Yanzhou. Went to Xun Zhen and asked to lead troops to help Yuzhou, and they all waited for him to come back to see what Xun Zhen said. After hearing his return, everyone rushed out to greet him outside the tent.

Zhuo Ying had the highest status among the people, so he represented them and asked Liu Bei, "General, what did Duke Ming say?"

Zhanqian and the others watched Liu Bei's face expectantly and nervously.

Zhan Qian was quite clever, and guessed from Liu Bei's relaxed and happy expression that he must have fulfilled his wish here. Xun Zhen agreed to lead troops to aid Yuzhou, so he bowed and smiled, "Congratulations, General, Hexi. !"

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Why are you happy?"

"Seeing how happy the general is, the officials guessed that Duke Ming had asked the general to help Yuzhou."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "You really guessed it! Duke Ming did allow me to help Yuzhou. Not only did he agree, but he also allocated more than a thousand cavalry to me to strengthen my troops to aid Yuzhou."

The generals were all happy to hear it.

However, Sun Min's face was slightly worried. When Liu Bei saw him, he asked him, "Sun Jun, why do you seem unhappy?"

Sun Min said: "General, it's not because the subordinates are unhappy, but I don't know if Duke Ming has thought about it. Lv Bu is known as a 'flying general', Yuan Gonggong has strong soldiers and horses, and now Sun Wentai is killed in Yuzhou, Sun Bofu is young, only afraid The situation will be extremely unfavorable to Sun Bofu! Although it shows that the Duke has given the general more than a thousand troops, but the total is only four thousand cavalry, can the aid succeed with this four thousand cavalry? I'm afraid it's hard to say."

Hearing Sun Min's words, Liu Bei didn't take it seriously and said, "Although Lü Bu is called 'Flying General', there are warriors Rucheng and Shi Jun under my account.

They are all enemies of ten thousand people, so why fear Lu Bu? Going to see Chengding and Shiguan, he asked with a smile, "Are you two afraid of Lu Bu? "

Although Chengding and Shiguan knew the name of Lü Bu's bravery, they both always prided themselves on being brave. Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, so how could they be afraid of Lü Bu? Moreover, Liu Bei's words were asked in public. What is not to lose face is fear, and the two of them would not admit it at this time, because they were both majestic, their chests raised, and they answered in unison: "Lu Bu is also a human being, Could it be that he can still have three heads and six arms, with iron teeth and bronze teeth? Why should he be afraid? This aid Yuzhou, we will capture him alive and sacrifice him to the general's horse."

Liu Bei laughed happily.

After laughing for a while, Liu Bei pondered for a while, and then said: "Sun Jun, you just said that Yuan Gonggong was strong and strong, and I don't agree with that."

Sun Min gave an "oh" and said, "I dare to ask General Wen to have a good opinion."

Liu Bei said, "How long has Yuan Gonggong been in Nanyang? He can't even beat a Liu Jingsheng, and he is still confined to a county in Nanyang. Can he be considered a strong soldier? You must know that Liu Jingsheng entered Jingzhou. At that time, the horses were single, Yuan Road went to Nanyang, and there were tens of thousands of troops.

When Liu Bei said this, he paused for a while, Zhuo Ying saw that Liu Bei seemed to have something to say, and asked, "General, have you not finished your words yet?"

Liu Bei said, "That's right." He looked around the crowd with confidence, and said, "You wait, I don't dare to say that I'm quite sure about this aid to Yuzhou, but I'm 70% sure, at least there is."

Zhuo Ying and others asked, "Why is the general so confident?"

Liu Bei said: "That Lu Fengxian has always been arrogant. Although he joined Yuan Gonggong, he was desperate and had no choice but to go to the bank. In his heart, he really doesn't have much respect for Yuan Gonggong. Hearing his rumors, he said that he killed Dong Zhuo and avenged the Yuan family, and considered himself to be the benefactor of the Yuan family. , arrogant and arrogant, there is no tolerance for others, and he is also in a state of suspicion and jealousy of Lu Bu.

"The two of them are actually not on good terms. When there is a strong enemy outside, the two of them may be able to join forces and fight against the enemy reluctantly, but now that Sun Wentai has died in battle, the strong enemy has gone, and Sun Bofu is young, so it is inevitable that The two of them despised, so I expected that Yuan Gonggong and Lu Fengxian would definitely feel that Runan, Yingchuan, and even Chen and Liang could be easily taken down... The result of the victory, just in front of him, the discord between the two of them will definitely be exposed.

"In other words, that is, the two of them cannot work together; on the other hand, on our side, although my troops and horses are not many, I am going to aid Yuzhou this time under the order of Duke Ming. Sun Bofu is a disciple of Duke Ming, but he will definitely trust me very much, which means that we and Sun Bofu will definitely be united and work together.

"They are not in harmony, but our army is of the same mind. In this way, even if Lu Fengxian is lucky enough to get the upper hand, the final victory, I believe, will still belong to us! And have you forgotten? In Ruyin, there are still Li Tong and his troops are stationed! Although Li Tong's works are not many, it is important to be familiar with the people and geography of Runan. I believe that he will be of great help to me."

But he said that Liu Bei was indeed worthy of being a hero of the moment. Although he had been dormant under Xun Zhen's account for a long time, his vision and knowledge were still more than ordinary people, and he was more able to see the root of the problem. Just like Xun Yu, he saw at a glance the biggest problem between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, that is, the discord between the two of them, then the discord between the two of them would inevitably lead to a crisis within Lu Bu and Yuan, and this crisis , at a critical moment, it will be a fatal crisis. Compared with the apparent crisis in Yuzhou, such as Sun Wentai's death in battle, it was actually more serious. - In fact, it was precisely based on this consideration that Liu Bei dared to ask Xun Zhen to see him and asked him to lead his troops to aid Yuzhou; if he was not sure, he certainly would not have made this request to Xun Zhen.

After listening to Liu Bei's analysis, Zhuo Ying and others all admired it.

Sun Min nodded again and again.

Liu Bei smiled and asked him, "Sun Jun, what do you think I said?"

Sun Min said: "The general's foresight, insight, analysis of people's hearts, and discernment are not comparable to subordinate officials. What Ming Gong said, subordinate officials agreed!"

"You can just follow me with peace of mind and go to Yuzhou for meritorious service!"

Everyone's mood was quite excited, and they said in unison, "The last general (the lower official) is willing to die for Duke Ming!"

Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile: "The night is getting darker, you all go back to your account and rest early, and tomorrow morning, I will order you to each

The troops and horses of the Ministry are ready to leave the camp, and when the troops and horses allocated to me by the Duke of Ming are in place, we will strive to help Yuzhou at the latest the day after tomorrow.”

Zhuo Ying and others responded in unison, "Here!"

After Zhuo Ying and others all left, Liu Bei returned to the tent.

There was no one else in the tent, only him.

The candles on the table were flickering with indefinite light. Liu Bei sat in front of the table. Although he was still disappointed, he was still very happy and excited, and he was not sleepy. He put his hands on his cheeks and thought in a trance: "This is Yuzhou, if I can successfully rescue Sun Bofu and defeat Lu Fengxian and Yuan Gonggong, then not only will I be able to make great military exploits in this regard, but I will also remember the name of Liu Bei. It will definitely spread to Yuzhou and Nanyang! Besides, as long as my great deeds can be accomplished, Duke Ming will reward me no matter what? At that time, I will not want any other reward. I only hope that Duke Ming can give If I stay in Yuzhou and help Sun Bofu, that's enough!"

Liu Bei's request for aid to Yuzhou was because he was confident of defeating Lü Bu, and secondly, it was precisely because he hoped to win this battle that he stayed in Yuzhou.

So, can he get his wish and stay in Yuzhou?

In his mind, this is very likely.

After all, Sun Ce is young. Even after defeating Lü Bu, if he wants to appease the territory and stabilize his rule, he still needs others to help him. Apart from his troops, the best person who can help him is, of course, Xun Ce. Zhen is here, relying on Xun Zhen's prestige to help him appease the hearts of scholars and people in Yingchuan and Runan. That is to say, it is very likely that after the war in Yuzhou, Xun Zhen will take the initiative, or at Sun Ce's request, to send a competent subordinate to Yuzhou to help Sun Ce. Then, who would Xun Zhen send to this capable subordinate? If Liu Bei was able to save Yuzhou, he would be the main general who made this great feat, and at the same time, he must have gotten to know Sun Ce relatively well in the rescue of Yuzhou, and he might be the best candidate.

Looking forward to the future, Liu Bei's mood is getting higher and higher.

There is no need to say more about Liu Bei's thoughts. It is only said that after two days, all the troops and horses allocated by Xun Zhen to Liu Bei were in place, and Liu Bei's headquarters were also ready to fight. Liu Bei then led the 4,000-foot cavalry out of Hexiang to the southwest, and rushed to Yuzhou to rescue.

On the afternoon of the day Liu Bei left the camp, Xun Zhen had already made preparations for sending troops in the past two days, and the next day, he also led his troops out of the camp.

When the soldiers and horses came out of the camp, and Xun Zhen was about to leave the tent, someone rushed to the tent in a hurry, and reported an urgent report to Xun Zhen: "Qi, Duke Ming, I just got the news, Yuan Gonggong I represent Liu Xun as the prefect of Yangzhou, Huiqu as the prefect of Yuzhou, and Lu Bu as the prefect of Yanzhou.”

After hearing this news, Xun Zhen was stunned.

It is not difficult to understand Yuan Shu's appointment of Liu Xun as the prefect of Yangzhou.

Chen Wen, the prefect of Yangzhou, passed away for some time, and the position of the prefect of Yangzhou has been vacant for a long time. Before that, the three forces bordering Yangzhou, Xun Zhen, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao, could not take care of Yangzhou for the time being. So uukanshu.com invariably left this position suspended. However, Yuan Shu suddenly took the lead in declaring Liu Xun as the prefect of Yangzhou. After a little speculation, he could understand the meaning. He must have felt that Yuzhou was already in his pocket, so he simply took the lead at this time. Liu Xun was listed as the prefect of Yangzhou, and it is estimated that his calculus was: after Yuzhou was conquered, he would find an opportunity to compete for Yangzhou. — Yuan Shu’s idea is understandable.

However, that Huiqu was the prefect of Yuzhou, and Lu Bu was the prefect of Yanzhou. These two recommendations really made Xun Zhen a little confused.

Sun Jian was beaten to death by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu is now fighting Yingchuan and Runan with all his strength. He is in love with reason. The position of the prefect of Yuzhou should be expressed to Lu Bu, but Yuan Shu gave it to Huiqu. , and then gave Lu Bu the prefect of Yanzhou. What did he think of Lu Bu? As a donkey? Do you regard the Governor of Yanzhou as a carrot hanging in front of the donkey's head?

It's just a **** operation.

Xun Zhen could conclude that Lu Bu would be furious when he heard the news.

That is to say, the relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu is not only clear to each other, but will surface from then on, and it will start to become obvious and even intense.

Thinking of this, the conflict between Yuan Shu and Lü Bu is intensifying and intense, then Sun Ce in Yuzhou and Liu Bei, who just went to help Yuzhou, will be extremely beneficial to them.

Thinking of this, Xun Zhen let go of the situation in Yuzhou.

He got up and said with a smile: "Yuan Gonggong is indeed worthy of the fourth and third princes of his family. He is indeed a noble family and a celebrity. Extraordinary people can compare."
