Chapter 58
(Thanks to the fact that the stars are the rewards of the children's shoes that I stunned. Today, I was crying and peeing a lot by the leader Xiong. I am very busy, but I will not stop updating. Chapter 2 is currently being coded, but it is estimated that it will be sent out in the middle of the night.)
*****************
Runan Prefect's Mansion.

Liu Bei sat high on the main seat, looking at the people below with a serious expression, his expression was extremely serious.

Below it, on the left and right sides, sat Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Gong Du, Liu Pi, Yuan Shang, Zhang Jai, Gao Lan and other generals, all of whom sat upright and serious.

It's no wonder that the preparations for the soldiers and horses have been completed, and the strategy has been verified. Yuan and Liu's coalition forces are about to start their expedition to Yingchuan. A little nervous.

Everything is ready, and the order to send troops is short.

When the two armies unite, Yuan Shang and Liu Bei are both the commanders of the first army. The status of the two should be equal, but Yuan Shang thinks it is troublesome, the second is afraid of responsibility, and the third is selfish, so he insisted on handing over the command of the entire army to the In Liu Bei's hand.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, Liu Bei naturally refused to accept it easily. The two of them seemed to be playing football and Tai Chi. , reluctantly accepted the authority to command the entire army.

And today is the day to prepare for the expedition.

But seeing Liu Bei coughing slightly, he first said: "Everyone, in the past few days, we have been discussing day and night, and we have decided to set the battlefield in the vicinity of Yecheng in the north, which leads to two roads, connecting Yingchuan in the north and Lianwan City is the only way for Cao Ren and Xiahouyuan to attack our Runan. Our army stationed here can be prepared for Xiahouyuan and Cao Ren's two groups of soldiers and horses to attack our army at the same time, in case of accidents. This point, presumably Don't you have any objections?"

Everyone nodded deeply.

Seeing that the general strategic direction was correct, Liu Bei nodded immediately and began to assign tasks: "Second brother, you lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to camp on the Yebei Plain to stop Xiahouyuan's outpost!"

Guan Yu took big strides, stood up and received the token Liu Bei handed out, and said loudly, "Don't worry, brother!"

"Yide, you lead your troops and horses, and set up the formation west of Yeyuan. Pay careful attention to the movements of Wancheng, and be careful when our army fights Xiahouyuan, and Cao Ren takes advantage of the chaos to send troops!"

Zhang Fei got up to take out the token, and responded like a rolling thunder: "No!"

Liu Bei changed hands and took out two tokens: "Liu Pi, Gong Du!"

"exist!"

"Order you two to lead three thousand soldiers, guard Runan carefully, be careful not to lose your fundamentals, remember to remember!"

Liu Pi and Gong both cupped their hands together and said, "No."

Having said that, Liu Bei turned to where Yuan Shang and the others were, and said with a smile: "Zhang Jaw, the two generals Gao Lan can divide the soldiers and horses under his command into two garrisons on the left and right, and garrison them five miles to the southeast of Yunchang. At the same time, with the momentum of horns, no matter how Xia Houyuan attacks any side, they can support each other."

Zhang Jai and Gao Lan looked at each other, then nodded secretly, apparently no objection to Liu Bei's order.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xuande, this matter is on our shoulders." Zhang Jaw promised without hesitation.

Liu Bei touched his short beard, and made his final statement: "Bei and Chen Dao led the elite infantry, deployed behind Yun Chang's army, and took care of all parties in the middle. Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others dealt with money and food. Everyone should keep their duties, remember not to make mistakes!"

The three white-faced scholars cupped their hands together when they heard the words, and said, "I would like to obey the master's order."

Liu Bei looked back and forth at the crowd, and said, "The matter of dispatching troops is roughly like this. What do you think Bei has forgotten? You might as well just say it. If you don't have one, let's go prepare according to the order."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they all had doubts in their hearts. In the end, they all came to the same goal, and all of them set their eyes on Yuan Shang.

Obviously, everyone already knew what Liu Bei had forgotten.

He forgot about the third son Yuan.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Yuan Shang was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly shook his hand and said, "It's okay, don't look at me, I'm fine, I'm still happy, I don't care."

Liu Bei sighed and watched Yuan Shang silently for a long time, speechless for a while.

To be honest, Liu Bei really didn't forget Yuan Shang on purpose, but he really didn't know what to ask Yuan Shang to do.

Liu Bei didn't know Yuan Shang's performance in the Battle of Wuchao. He didn't know much about Yuan Shang's ability. But when it comes to marching and fighting, Liu Bei really doesn't know exactly what kind of material Yuan Shang is.

But the other party was Yuan Jun's leader after all, so it was a bit inappropriate for him to leave him alone in the final analysis.

But what should he do?Liu Bei was in a bit of trouble.

This battle has a lot to do with the strategic development of Liu Bei's army in the future, so we must be cautious. The opponents are all famous generals of the Cao family, and our own side must be cautious and cautious in employing personnel, and there must be no omissions, otherwise, if a link goes wrong Stubble, the consequences are unimaginable.

It is not impossible for a soldier to be defeated and fall into the city.

How to do it?Liu Bei began to play a small Jiujiu in his heart.

Xiongxiong is worthy of being Xiongxiong, Liu Bei pondered for a while, and really asked him to figure out a way for Yuan Shang.

However, Liu Bei coughed lightly and said: "Nephew, there is really a most important task in this expedition, and I need to trouble you to handle it. This matter is of great importance. I hope my nephew will not take it decline."

Yuan Shang's expression turned positive when he heard the words, and he said, "What orders does Mr. Xuande have? I will definitely live up to my trust."

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said: "Now our army is deploying elite soldiers in the land of Yeyuan, and we want to fight Xia Houyuan, but the premise is that Xia Houyuan must send troops from Yingchuan. Now we have his niece, but Xia Houyuan is not yet complete. Knowing that, nephew Xian is a well-known scholar in Hebei, and his writing style must be good, so nephew Lao Xian wrote a letter to Xia Houyuan, stating his interests and interests, stating that his niece is in the hands of our army, and his words are often provocative. Force him to send troops to attack!"

Xia Houyuan had to write the book to force him to fight. Liu Bei had decided to leave it to Sun Qian, but at this time he had an idea and turned it to Yuan Shang.

A revised letter stated that Xia Houjuan was captured by our side, and Xia Houyuan was provoked to send troops to Yingchuan. This matter was indeed the top priority. If not, our side's formation in Yeyuan would be useless.

The second thing is that there is no risk in this matter, and it is not very difficult. As long as someone has a little writing skills, let Xia Houyuan know the whereabouts of his niece. To put it bluntly, anyone who can speak human language can do it. If you fold Xia Houyuan's face in an ancient sentence, it will be the icing on the cake.

In Liu Bei's mind, Yuan Shang is a descendant of a famous family, so this trivial matter should not be difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang's complexion sank when he heard the words, and he seemed a little depressed and said: "Mr. Xuande, you actually asked me to write an article? It's very tiring and hard work for the head of the pen!"

To be honest, Yuan Shang is not afraid of anything else, but the one who is really afraid of writing.

It's no wonder that writing is indeed a very tedious, hard, and painstaking chore, just like the idiot author of this book, who is busy writing materials during the day and staying up late at night to write novels. One day I was bald, and people in their 20s looked like little old men, walking on the street, and middle-aged women in their 40s wanted to ask for directions, and they had to call me a big brother first, making trouble No
Liu Bei didn't take it seriously, and said to Yuan Shang with a smile: "Mr. Yuan San was joking. My nephew is a descendant of a famous family. He has been a famous teacher since he was a child and has read a lot of poetry and books. How can it be difficult to get you with a mere letter? After all, this matter is really none other than my nephew, it is a matter of great importance to the military family, and I hope my nephew will not be too pushy."

Yuan Shang was stunned for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist everyone's meaningful gazes. He sighed, lowered his head and said helplessly: "I will obey the general's order."

***********************
After leaving the eunuch's mansion, there was no one else around, Gao Lan snorted heavily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Liu Bei weaves mats and sells shoes, actually underestimates our young master, and just refuses to let the young master lead an army to go out. Going to do those petty bureaucrats is really looking down on people!"

Yuan Shang waved his hand lightly, and said: "It's not his fault, after all, it's an important matter for military strategists. I'm a young boy, and I have never had a name. The first time people look at me, they must call me "Son of Yuan Shao". Instead of calling me by my own name, it is reasonable for Liu Bei not to dare to use me."

Hearing this, Zhang Ja frowned, and said, "Liu Bei refuses to meet Young Master Yong, so is it possible that Young Master really intends to live idle in Runan?"

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Of course not. Didn't we say that before this battle, we will invite Lu Lingqi to attack Yingchuan as a surprise soldier. Since I don't have anything to do with you on the battlefield, I'll go there privately." Lishan, together with Lu Lingqi, will attack Xia Houyuan's rear position, let him take the bottom line and give Xia Houyuan a try."

Gao Lan laughed loudly, and said: "It's so good, when the time comes to see Liu Da Er, he won't be ashamed!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jai said: "Since that's the case, I will dispatch a hundred elite soldiers from the army to secretly protect the young master and go to Jiuli Mountain."

Yuan Shang nodded, then heaved a long sigh, and said helplessly: "But before that, I have to write a letter to Xia Houyuan, urging him to send troops. Liu Da Er, who has no heart, is he blind? Where am I? It's like a provocative material."

************************
Ten days later, as an envoy of Liu Bei's army, a fast horse set off from Runan in a hurry, rushed to Yangzhai County, Yingchuan, and delivered a letter to Xia Houyuan's mansion.

At this time, Xia Houyuan was seriously ill because his niece was kidnapped, and he was bedridden. When he heard that Liu Bei's envoy from Runan County sent him a letter, he was very surprised. He didn't know that he had always been incompatible with Cao Sikong Liu Bei, what is the purpose of writing to him.

Ever since, Xia Houyuan supported his sick body, gathered all the generals of Qi Yingchuan in the prefect's mansion, and then called Liu Beijun's envoys to meet.

Liu Beijun's envoy didn't say much, but after presenting the letter to Xia Houyuan, he stood quietly by the side without saying a word.

Xia Houyuan was still sick, and his head was still a little dizzy, so he didn't bother to look through it, and then he greeted the lieutenant beside him, saying: "Take it, read it aloud, let all the generals listen, and see how Liu Bei treats this general." If you have anything to say, it will save you from being unclear in the future, and someone will go to the lord to sue the general for his tricks."

Hearing the words, the deputy general immediately picked up the bamboo slip, pulled his hands, and unfolded it gently. He was about to open his mouth to read, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he was stunned on the spot.

After a while.
"General Xiahou. This. This. I can't pronounce it." The deputy general was sweating, stuttering and panicking.

Xia Houyuan stared, and said angrily: "You bastard, what can't you read? Is it possible that the cost will really have some collusion with Liu Bei? If you want to read it, you can read it, what's the trouble!"

That pair of cheeks twitched, looked at Xia Houyuan who was full of anger, swallowed heavily, and said carefully: "Xiahou barbarian."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Houyuan suddenly became furious, grabbed the wine cup on the table and threw it at the officer's head, shouting angrily: "Bastard! It's against you! You called me just now!" What!"

The deputy general had a cup of wine on his head for no reason, immediately weeping, and said: "General, calm down, it's not that the last general called you that. It's written in this letter!"

Xia Houyuan's face froze when he heard the words, and he turned his face down in resentment, and said dissatisfiedly: "I can't explain it clearly, it will be a cup if it is broken."

The deputy general wanted to cry when he heard this.

Xia Houyuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, keep reading."

"General Xia Houwang, this, this, this thing is really unpronounceable."

"If you want to read it, you can read it!" Xia Houyuan's tone was obviously a little impatient.

The lieutenant general trembled, continued to read with a mournful face, "So your niece is dumb."

Xia Houyuan was seriously ill because of the loss of his niece. The most troublesome thing these days is that other people mentioned this matter in front of him. Grabbing the skirt of the lieutenant general, he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say! Do you dare to say it again to the general? Your niece is dumb!!"

"General, it's not me, it's not me! It's the letter, the letter!"

Xia Houyuan flung the lieutenant general violently, turned his head and roared at Liu Beijun's envoy, "What is the purpose of Liu Bei's letter? Could it be that he deliberately humiliated the general!"

The envoy listened for a few sentences and was already sweating profusely. Hearing the words, he hurriedly said: "General Xiahou calm down, I'm just an envoy here. I really don't know the contents of the letter."

Xia Houyuan glared at the messenger angrily, his sickness had long since disappeared, and after a long time, he spit out word by word: "Continue, continue, read!"

The deputy general almost fell to his knees when he heard the words, and felt like crying.

"General, stop reading!"

Xia Houyuan said sharply: "Stop talking nonsense, and die if you don't read it!"

The lieutenant sniffed aggrievedly, and continued to read tremblingly: "I heard that dumbness is a congenital disease. One of the cases is that the parents are too close by blood. Your niece's parents are brothers and sisters. Are you married? You don’t persuade me at all.”

After reading this, the guard threw away the letter in his hand, knelt down to Xia Houyuan, wept and said: "General, you should kill me!"
