Three Kingdoms: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are Summoned at the Start

Inside the palace, Liu Bian paced back and forth, constantly deducing what would happen next in his mind.

After a long time he opened his mouth and said, "Liu Bei's wishful thinking is really good, but the abacus is not completely in his hands, how can he let him play it?

"I originally wanted Yuan Benchu ​​to live a little longer, but now it seems that I can't let him make trouble on the side. 35

"Xue Rengui listened to the order: I ordered you to lead 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, day and night, to the battlefield of Xuzhou, and tell Yue Fei that within a month, I want to see Yuan Benchu's five-flowered bundle sent to me, maybe it's done?

Xue Rengui said resolutely: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if Yuan Benchu ​​cannot be captured alive, our ministers would rather engage in military law!!

Liu Bian continued to issue the order: "Yuwen Chengdu, you lead an army to sit at Hangu Pass, if Cao Cao dares to leave Luoyang City, beat me to the death!!""

"Here!!

"The rest will follow me to Chang'an City, and I will teach Liu Bei a good lesson. 35

"Come on, come on!!

In Luoyang City, when Cao Cao led the remnants of the army into the city, he got the news that Liu Bei had taken Chang'an City.

Cao Cao, whose face was already ugly, was full of grievances, but he couldn't express this grievance.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bei used him to attract firepower, why didn't he use Liu Bei to attract firepower?

To put it bluntly, the two were half a catty and eight taels, and no one was kind to anyone, but the final result was that Cao Cao lost his troops and lost his generals, while Liu Bei made a lot of money.

Back at their mansion, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu also followed.

After rejecting the crowd, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "General Xu Chu was killed in battle, and all 30,000 elites were lost at the hands of Liu Bian. This time our army was defeated.

"Ugh!!"

After sighing a few times, Cao Cao said: "I knew earlier that I shouldn't have used a knife to kill people, just wipe out Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, and now I've been injured if I can't fight a tiger..."."

As he was talking, Cao Cao saw Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia on the side with embarrassed expressions, and shut up instantly.

"Two gentlemen, don't think too much, I'm not talking about you guys, it's just that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are too cunning."

"Xu Chu didn't listen to the general's orders, and went deep alone!! 35

With these two explanations, the embarrassed Xi Zhicai Guo Jia and the two returned to normal again, but compared with the usually positive two, both of them kept silent today, as if they were still in the stage of reflection.

Cao Cao kept talking for a long time, but no one made a comment.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu had no choice but to say: "Ming Gong, this time Liu Bei got a big deal, but at the same time he also completely angered Liu Bian, and our strategy as a whole did not appear to have much deviation."

"As long as Liu Bei can hold Liu Bian in the northwest, our chance to rectify the south will come. 35

Speaking of this, he turned his eyes to Guo Jia, and his eyes frequently signaled to let him speak.

Guo Jia naturally understood the meaning of it, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Zhongde's words are not bad, Liu Bei also has 100,000 people, relying on the strong Chang'an City, there is no problem in guarding it for a year and a half.

"The road to Sichuan is even more dangerous, and it can take a lot of time, so we have a great opportunity to strengthen our strength and compete with Liu Bian."

Xi Zhicai also nodded in agreement and said, "But we can't let Liu Bei lose too fast. He wrote a letter a few days ago and asked us to help him defend Chang'an City and put this nail in Liu Bian's territory. We can When it couldn't support it, he sent troops to harass Jizhou and cooperated with Liu Bei's defense.

The words of the two advisors made the depressed Cao Cao feel a little more comfortable.

He nodded slowly: "What the two gentlemen said makes sense, but what should we do next?"

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia looked at each other and both said, "Eat Yangzhou and Jiaozhou!!

"Yangzhou and Jiaozhou?"

The light in Cao Cao's eyes suddenly radiated...

Shouchun City.

Since Yuan Shao's defeat, he has huddled in Shouchun City, relying on the Huai River to build a defense line.

Originally, with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in his hands, he couldn't resist Yue Fei's army of tigers and wolves anyway, but it rained heavily, and for more than ten days in a row, although Yue Fei tried his best to cross the river, he could only look at the turbulent Huai River and sigh. , shook his head helplessly.

In this way, Yuan Shao relied on various methods to draw strong men around, and once again pulled up a team.

It's just how much combat power this team has.

Moreover, since the defeat, Yuan Shao has been waiting for the news of Cao Cao's great victory. Only when Cao Cao defeated the enemy in Luoyang would he have the opportunity to support his actions on the eastern front.

But wait and wait, instead of waiting for the good news of victory, I got the news that Cao Cao was defeated and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce turned against the water.

This made Yuan Shao even more angry and insulted Cao Cao behind his back.

Two days later, news of Liu Bei's capture of Chang'an City came, which made Yuan Shao's depressed mood a lot better.

It was only along with the news that Liu Bei's request for Yuan Shaoce to attack also spread to Yuan Shao's ears.

Although Yuan Shao was angry in his heart, he was aware of the current situation, so he hurriedly invited Xu You, the only adviser under his command, to discuss it together.

Xu You received Yuan Shao's order, and without saying a word, hurried to Yuan Shao's mansion.

The two came to the study together, and Yuan Shao told Liu Bei's request.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu You smiled bitterly and said: "" 々 My lord, you know how much power we have now, it seems that there are 150,000 people, but how many can we fight?

"Without the strength of the top commander, can you take the initiative to attack Yue Fei?"

Yuan Shao didn't know these things, he smiled bitterly and said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if we send troops to allow Liu Bei to defend the city of Chang'an, even if the entire army is wiped out, there will finally be a place to stay. Stay, we're really dead."

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Xu You's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"My lord's words are not bad, but we don't have only one way to go, Cao Cao seems to have a closer relationship with you.

"Liu Bei definitely won't just ask us for help, why don't we look at Cao Cao or get in touch with him?

"Huh?"

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Wen Yuan, this matter is left to you, be sure to have a good conversation with Cao Cao, even if we leave him behind!!35

Xu You nodded with a smile and slowly stepped back!!.
