Chapter 48 Belonging to Shouchun (with thank you list)

The momentum of these 5000 people was countless times stronger than the previous [-] defenders.

Cao Cao's troops who were charging below the city all stopped and did not dare to take another step forward.

Cao Cao looked up and saw one person walking out of the defenders.
With a handsome face and elegant temperament, he was looking at the people in the city with a smile.

"Who are you?"

"Liu Xuan of Huaiyang has met Duke Cao, Duke Xuande, and General Lu."

Liu Xuan did not expect that when he met the three famous people in history for the first time, he would act in such a condescending manner.

Cao Cao looked stern,
"Are you the Queen of Huaiyang, Liu Xuan? Aren't you in Huaiyin County? How could you appear in Shouchun?"

Liu Xuan smiled lightly,
"Yuan Shu chased me all the way and had a deep hatred for me. Moreover, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and openly challenged the majesty of the Han emperor. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the son of the King of Huaiyang, I went into Shouchun and killed Yuan Shu. It was nothing. Weird, right?"

"What? Did you kill Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this.

"Why, Yuan Shu can't kill him?" Liu Xuan asked.

"Did you know that we fought hard at Feishuidu for more than ten days, injuring tens of thousands of soldiers, just to kill Yuan Shu?"

"Oh? Just kill Yuan Shu. I can do it with five thousand elite soldiers." Liu Xuan spread his hands and pointed to the Tiger Camp on the left and right.

Cao Cao rode forward and said in a deep voice:

"If our [-] coalition troops hadn't fought with all our strength at Feishui Crossing and annihilated all Shouchun's defenders, Magistrate Liu would not have been able to enter Shouchun City so easily, right?"

Liu Xuan nodded and said,

"What Mr. Cao said is true, but Liu Xuan is a little unclear. I killed Yuan Shu and cleaned up the defenders, which is also a good thing for you. What do you think General Lu means, Yuan Shu can't kill him?"

Cao Cao explained:
"Mr. Liu doesn't know something. It's not that Yuan Shu can't be killed. It's just that our three-party alliance has long agreed that whoever is the first to invade Shouchun and kill Yuan Shu will have the right to occupy Shouchun."

"Now that Magistrate Liu is interfering, it's very difficult for us to handle."

Liu Xuan suddenly realized that no wonder he was kind enough to help them get rid of the defenders. Lu Bu still looked angry.

And Liu Bei's face was extremely ugly.

Liu Xuan stood on the city wall, quickly analyzing the current situation in his mind.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu allied forces with a hundred thousand troops to attack Feishuidu. Liu Xuan naturally knew this.

And as Cao Cao said, if they hadn't attracted firepower at the north gate,

Liu Xuan didn't break through the south gate so easily and entered the palace.

Liu Xuan successfully completed the mission and obtained the hidden corner, and has already made a fortune.

As for the city of Shouchun, after Liu Xuan briefly cleared his mind,

He immediately came to the conclusion that Shouchun was a hot potato and must not be taken.

At least not now.

Otherwise, the next target of the three-party coalition will definitely be Liu Xuan.

He had just secured the position of Huaiyin County Magistrate and had only [-] soldiers at his disposal.
However, Chen Huji won the battle against the two generals.

Not to mention the three forces of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu. If any one of them were to go against him, it would be enough to kill Liu Xuan.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan laughed,
"Ah haha, it turns out there is such a way in this. It seems that Liu Xuan really messed up everyone's plan unintentionally."

"However, I, Liu Xuan, attacked Shouchun not to capture Shouchun, but to kill Yuan Shu. Now that my goal has been achieved, I will lead my army back to Huaiyin today. How about that?"

"Seriously?"*2
Liu Bei's face changed, and he and Lu Bu asked at the same time.

"What a gentleman says is child's play?"

"Okay, Magistrate Liu is generous. I, Lu Bu, accept your kindness. Open the city gate quickly and let me wait to enter the city."

Lu Bu got on his horse and prepared to enter the city.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao also waved behind them at the same time, preparing to lead their troops into the city.

"Wait a minute, Liu Xuan still has something to confirm with the three of you first,"

Liu Xuan stopped everyone and said to Cao Cao,
"What Duke Cao said just now, the three of you have agreed that whoever is the first to attack Shouchun and kill Yuan Shu will have Shouchun."

"But now Yuan Shu died in my hands, and Shouchun was not defeated by you. If I leave Shouchun, how will the ownership of Shouchun be determined?"

"This?" Cao Cao didn't think so much.

Liu Xuan was right, Yuan Shu was dead, and the previous agreement was naturally void.

Who does Shouchun belong to?

Cao Cao glanced at the soldiers behind him. After the three-party fight, only Cao Cao had the most soldiers and horses left.
Whoever fights Liu Bei and Lu Bu will never fall behind.But if Liu Bei and Lu Bu join forces, he will not be able to bear it.

"If we let so many people in now, can the three of us guarantee that we can live in peace in the city?"

Liu Xuan's words continued to be heard on the top of the city,

The three people below were silent.

Liu Bei looked at the few thousand men and horses left behind him.

I couldn't help but feel worried.

The previous agreement is invalid. With Cao Cao's style, it is very likely that he will attack himself.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei cupped his fists and saluted Liu Xuan,

"Liu Xuanling's worries are not unreasonable. Shouchun City has been severely poisoned by Yuan Shu, and the people have suffered misfortunes. I, Liu Bei, ask myself that for the sake of the people of Shouchun, I will never start another war after entering the city."

"Liu Xuande, what do you mean? Do I, Lu Bu, just start a war randomly?"

Liu Bei did not answer, but turned to Cao Cao and asked,
"What about Mr. Cao? Can you also guarantee that you will never take action?"

Cao Cao's face darkened, and he looked at Liu Bei with unkind eyes.

If Cao Cao cannot guarantee peace, then Lu Bu will be on guard against him, and the two may secretly form an alliance.

After a few seconds of silence, Cao Cao put on a smile and said,
"Haha, the soldiers have been fighting for so long. Of course I can't bear to let them fight anymore. However, what County Magistrate Liu said is not unreasonable. The three of us must come up with a feasible plan after all."

"First decide on Shouchun's ownership, and then it's not too late to enter the city."

"How to decide?" Liu Bei asked.

Lu Bu spoke first;

"I propose a one-on-one fight, and the winner will have longevity."

Cao Cao and Liu Bei: "Objection!"

Cao Cao suggested: "I think legion battles show strength more."

Lu Bu and Zhang Fei: "Objection!"

Zhang Fei added: "It is more convincing to fight in a three-person team battle."

Cao Cao Lu Bu: "Objection!"

A group of people argued for a round, but no one could come up with a way to convince all parties.

Liu Xuan on the city wall looked at the sky. The sun had already risen to the top of the trees.
It seems that the time has passed Chen hour.

Most people in this era had two meals, and breakfast should be finished before Tatsuki.

After struggling all night, Liu Xuan felt a little hungry, so he said to the three people below,

"Everyone, such an important matter cannot be decided in a short while. I think the soldiers are very hungry and thirsty. Why don't we all cook in the pot and eat breakfast first."

"As for how to determine Shouchun's ownership, no matter how you three families fight now, it is difficult to reach an agreement. I have an idea. How about I be the notary and come up with a plan that is satisfactory to all parties?"

The three of them looked at each other and felt that Liu Xuan's statement made some sense.

Liu Xuan was not familiar with them, and he didn't want Shouchun, so he had no interest entanglements with them.

There is no need to take sides. Let him be the middleman, which should be the best way at the moment.

Liu Bei was the first to express his stance,
"Liu Bei is willing to listen to County Magistrate Liu's mediation."

"As long as the plan is fair, I, Lu Bu, have no objection to it."

Cao Cao pursed his lips, seemingly unwilling to accept it.
"Then do it."
