The Three Kingdoms are invincible

In February of the first year of Jian'an (AD 196), Liu Bei led an army of [-], with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Fang, Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao, etc. as generals, and Chen Gong, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, etc. Go to intercept Yuan Shu.

It is said that Liu Beijun and Yuan Shujun met near Lingbi, and the two sides began to confront each other.Under the premise that the strength of the two armies was similar, Liu Bei obeyed Chen Gong's plan, first pretended to be defeated for a few battles, and then took advantage of Yuan Shu's pride and self-satisfaction to counterattack and defeated his army in one fell swoop. Yuan Shu himself was killed by Guan Yu in the chaos. kill.Yuan Shu's army was already on the verge of collapse, but after seeing the death of the lord, it became completely disorganized, and there were many escapees and surrenders.

Yuan Shu sent Chen Lan and Lei Bo to Liu Bei, and most of the other generals died in battle.

After defeating Yuan Shu's army, Liu Bei did not return to Xuchang. Instead, according to Chen Gong's policy, he set up swordsmen in the army tent to ambush Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao.After killing the two men, Liu Bei declared to the outside world that they had contacted Yuan Shu and had been punished according to the crime, and incorporated the [-] soldiers and horses under his control.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei led his army to Xuzhou, and lied to Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou, that he was ordered by Cao Sikong to enter Xiapi City to adjust his troops.

Although Che Zhou is not as good as Zhang Liao and others in terms of military strategy, he is still a good general, otherwise Cao Cao's knowledge of people is the best.Nor will he be appointed as the governor of Xuzhou to defend one side.When he first saw a large army coming, Che Zhou immediately ordered the four gates to be closed and ordered the defenders to put on a defensive posture.

However, although Che Zhou has certain military talents, he lacks the perception of the sinister human heart.When he saw that the flag with the word "Cao" was being held in the army, and after he saw that the general of the army was Liu Bei, Che Zhou soon felt relieved.At this time, Che Zhou didn't know that Liu Bei had betrayed him, nor did he know that Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao had been killed by him.In Che Zhou's impression, Liu Bei is known as a benevolent gentleman. Such a person would never betray Cao Cao, let alone forge Cao Cao's order to deceive himself.

Therefore, Che Zhou didn't have the slightest doubt about Liu Bei, and soon ordered to open the city gate to welcome him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the city gate opened, Zhang Fei took the lead and charged straight out. A Zhangba Snake Spear mercilessly pierced a hole in Che Zhou's chest, leaving only a surprised and unrepentant corpse.

Xiapi City returned to Liu Bei's hands.

With Chen Gong's means, coupled with Liu Bei's original popularity in Xuzhou, the entire territory of Xuzhou was soon under Liu Bei's control again.

When Cao Cao learned that Xuzhou had fallen, he was furious!

Kill my general, take my land, big-eared thief An Ganer!

Confronting Yuan Shao is tiring enough, but you, Liu Bei, dare to make trouble for me.Xuzhou is on the side of Yanzhou's couch. If it is obtained by others, how can Cao Cao be at ease when he fights Yuan Shao in the future!

Cao Cao urgently ordered Xia Houdun, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and others to fight, commanding a total of [-] troops, and sent troops to Xuzhou again.

Cao Cao's army was approaching, and Liu Bei was stunned.

Earlier, Chen Gong suggested to Liu Bei, ordering him to kill Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao, and Che Zhou to seize Xuzhou.Liu Bei was puzzled and asked, "My strength is low, but Cao Cao is powerful. Even if I win Xuzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it, and it will anger Cao Cao instead. Why bother?"

"Otherwise, what Cao Cao is worried about is Yuan Shao in the north. He attacked Xuzhou before because his relationship with Yuan Shao was good at that time. Even if Cao Cao led his army out, Yuan Shao might not harass his rear. But now the situation is serious. In order to be different, Yuan Shao proclaimed himself Duke, while Cao Cao had already declared war on him, and the relationship between them was on fire. The war was imminent, and once Cao Jun left Xuchang, Yuan Shao would send his army south to attack. Therefore, even if the lord captured Xuzhou, Cao Cao was worried about Yuan Shao. I dare not send troops to Xuzhou at this time. Therefore, the lord can stay in Xuzhou stably, increase his own strength, and sit back and watch the two tigers fight. If Yuan and Cao want to decide the outcome, they will not be able to compete for merit for several years. A few years is enough for the lord to steadily expand his strength and participate in the disputes of the world."

The above is Chen Gong's analysis. It's a pity, if Yuan Shao didn't claim the title, then Chen Gong might suggest that Liu Bei ask Yuan Shao for help.However, now that Yuan Shao is rebellious, although Liu Bei can use the other party, he can't take the initiative to contact the other party, otherwise it will be confirmed.

At that time, Chen Gong's answer made Liu Beihao very excited.But the current situation is completely inconsistent with what Chen Gong said!

That's a full [-] troops, almost [-]% of Cao Cao's total force!Moreover, except for a few famous generals in Cao's army, almost all of them gathered in this army.In this way, the defense of Xuchang City must be empty. If Yuan Shao takes advantage of the situation to attack, things will be in danger!

Could it be that he, Cao Cao, really had some deep hatred for him, and even risked being wiped out by Yuan Shao, he wanted to attack him first?

Not only Liu Bei didn't understand, Chen Gong was even more puzzled.Although other people are not allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, but now this couch is about to be lifted, no matter how you think about it, you should deal with the person who is going to lift the couch in advance.

But now no matter how depressed it is, it is useless. Anyway, Cao Cao's army has already arrived in Xuzhou.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— “My lord, Cao Cao's army attacked Liu Bei, which is a godsend opportunity for us. This is the right time to attack Xuchang and destroy Cao's bandits!" In the meeting hall of Ye City, Jizhou Biejia Tian Fengzheng was in high spirits persuading Yuan Shao to attack Cao.

Cao Cao's large army went out, leaving only a small number of troops to stay in Zhucheng, and there were only [-] defenders in Xuchang City. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy Cao Cao!

"What Yuan Hao said is very solitary." Yuan Shao twitched the goatee on his chin and said happily.

Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, I didn't expect you to be confused and send most of your troops abroad at this critical moment. Could it be that you want to give Xuchang to me because of your old friendship?

However, at this moment, a personal guard ran up to Yuan Shao anxiously, and whispered a few words to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically.

"My lord, could something have happened." Yuan Shao's complexion suddenly became extremely grim, and could even be described as haggard.Tian Feng felt sorry for this, maybe Cao Cao played some tricks again.

"The three sons I have had so far, Xianfu is my favorite. Now he is suffering from scabies, and his name is on the line. Does Gu An have any thoughts on military affairs?" Xianfu is Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Shangzhi. Said that he was seriously ill and his life was in danger.Yuan Shao usually loves this son the most, but when he heard the news, he suddenly lost his mind and his appearance was extremely ugly.

Tian Feng couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw Yuan Shao's dejected appearance, but he still wanted to do his duty as a counselor, and tried his best to speak out: "Cao Cao's eastward campaign against Liu Xuande has left Xuchang empty. , then the affairs of the world can be decided, the lord must not hesitate! You must know that the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come."

But no matter how Tian Feng persuaded him, Yuan Shao was worried about his young son's condition, so he didn't listen much to what he said.

"Tian Yuanhao, it's human nature for my lord to worry about your son. Why are you so unreasonable and aggressive?" Tian Feng was about to speak, but Guo Tu, who had always been at odds with him, said first, "Besides, the strength of Cao's army is very different from ours. It is fully equipped, and our army can win it openly, so why rush for a while?"

"Gong Ze's words are very kind." Even though Tian Feng still wanted to fight hard, Yuan Shao's words were completely definitive.After Yuan Shao, who was concerned about the safety of his young son, hurriedly finished the discussion, he hurried to the direction of Duke Ye's mansion.

"If you don't take what God has given, you will suffer disaster!" Looking at Yuan Shao's receding figure, Tian Feng could only hit the ground with his stick to express his dissatisfaction.
