The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 231 Cao Cao Becomes King
In Jingzhou, after Cao Cao's army retreated silently, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the generals to attack everywhere and take back the cities occupied by Jiangdong one by one.

After dozens of days of bloody fighting, all parts of Jingzhou almost turned into a blood-stained hell, and countless soldiers fell in it, including Liu Bei's army and Jiangdong army's.

The Jiangdong army was extremely stubborn, and it seemed that they were unwilling to take the city back after such a short period of time, so they defended the city desperately under the leadership of their general, and fought day and night with Liu Bei's army.

But Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Liu Bei generals had long held back their anger, and desperately vented their anger on the Jiangdong army.

In addition, Liu Bei's army has many fierce generals. Apart from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, many fierce generals have developed their prestige, such as Wei Yan, who is wearing a black armor and a big sword. The people in the Jiangdong army thought that there was another Guan Yu. The Jiangdong generals killed by Wei Yan's big sword were frightened. There are still such brave generals hidden in Liu Bei's army.

Then there is Wenpin, the strength shown by the former No. [-] general in Jingzhou also made all the generals in Jiangdong frown. Will not fall behind.

Even Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle, had an extremely gloomy expression on his face, let alone Wei Yan, this Wenpin is actually so brave, hateful, how many powerful generals are hidden in Liu Bei's army?Zhao Yun couldn't go back in Jiangdong. He thought that Liu Bei's strength would be greatly reduced, but he didn't expect that there were so many strong generals in Liu Bei's army. It was unbelievable.

In addition to generals such as Wei Yan and Wenpin, there are many other generals in Liu Bei's army who shined in this battle. Among them, Liao Hua, Xia Houlan, Zhang Yi, Li Yan, Yan Yan, Li Hui, Meng Da, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Du Yuan waited for a very brave performance.

Generals such as Huo Jun, Huang Quan, etc. are good at defense, and all their performances are not as good as others. Once the city was defeated, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left them to defend the city.

They are also very helpless, they want to go out to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, but there is no way, all the generals know that they are good at defense, alas, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said with a smile that this is to make use of their strengths, things like charging and encircling the enemy are still let Brave men like them are good.

The other generals covered their mouths and snickered. If someone defended the city, they would have a chance to go out and kill the enemy. This is a good thing, better than staying by themselves, right?
Finally, the emperor paid off. After the bloody battle of Liu Bei's generals, Jiangdong's army was repelled. Although Zhou Yu was resourceful and cunning, this was Liu Bei's territory. Liu Bei was very familiar with it, and the army invested more than Jiangdong. With a group of wolf-like generals, Zhou Yu could only be beaten back aggrieved.

There is no way, they occupy too many cities, the generals and the army are naturally scattered, and they are defeated by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. It can be said that they can't defend the city. However, how to fight?As soon as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came up, they could fight Gan Ning Tai Shici, but they couldn't win in the end!
There were not many soldiers, so Zhou Yu could only angrily scold Cao Cao for being shameless, and withdraw his troops properly. Nima saw that Jingzhou in his hand was snatched back before it was warmed up. Fuck, is there anything more uncomfortable than this?
Some families were happy and some were sad, Jiang Dong felt uncomfortable, Liu Bei was naturally laughing here, Liu Bei immediately asked Jian Yong to go down and hold a big banquet to reward the three armies, and rewarded all the generals for meritorious deeds.

Two weeks later, all places in Jingzhou were restored to their original appearance. Liu Bei contributed money and efforts. All officials mobilized and all the burned houses in the city were repaired. The most benevolent person in the world can be said to be a timely rain, and he loves the people very much. Unlike Cao Cao, hey, traitor!

After a period of time, Jingzhou recovered like this. On this day Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu suddenly came to Liu Bei's mansion. Liu Bei said with a smile, how could the two military advisers have free time to come to me when they are so busy?

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu smiled and shook their heads, Xu Shu took the lead and said, "My lord, something important has happened!"

Liu Bei was surprised, and quickly asked, "What happened to alarm the two military advisers?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it any longer. He forced Han Xiandi to abdicate himself three times, and refused three times. Finally, he built the Fengchan Terrace, imitating the method of Emperor Shun and Emperor Yu, and let Emperor Xian of Han abdicate with him."

Xu Shu added, "There is only one key point, and that is that Cao Cao has proclaimed himself emperor! My lord, you have to prepare early!"

"Is the information reliable?" Liu Bei was shocked, but he still couldn't believe it. How could Cao Cao suddenly become emperor?Didn't he coerce the emperor to make the princes?How can suddenly change the plan, it really makes people feel that the sky is falling apart!The news is too big.

Zhuge Liang affirmed, "It's absolutely true. The latest news from our intelligence organization has not been released yet. My lord needs to make plans as soon as possible. Jiangdong Sun Quan may also get the news. Sun Quan should also be impatient. Cao Cao Be the leader, and the master will follow suit!"

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously, and Xu Shu also laughed knowingly. Liu Bei naturally knew what the two of them meant when he saw their expressions.

Rubbing his hands together, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He is not someone who is inferior to Cao Cao. What Cao Cao can do, he can do too.

"What should we do, let the two military advisers explain it clearly!" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu calmly.

Zhuge Liang said word by word, "Back to Yizhou, all the generals jointly wrote a letter and the Lord is the King of Hanzhong!"

"Yes, Cao Cao can't take Hanzhong, and he feels uncomfortable. It can be imagined that the lord called Hanzhong King can not only anger Cao Cao, but also win the hearts of the people, because Cao Cao claimed to be the king of Wei, and the lord is the king of Hanzhong. There is a Chinese character in it. The common people must know that the lord is fighting for the great man in his heart!"

"King of Hanzhong?" Liu Bei read a few words silently, and finally couldn't help admiring, "Wonderful, really wonderful, then it's settled, it's the King of Hanzhong!"

After all, Liu Bei still has a big man in his heart. If he is asked to call himself another king, it will be difficult for him to accept it.

Liu Bei suddenly thought of one thing, and quickly asked Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, "It takes a prominent figure to take the lead in a joint letter to become king, and the more the better, the greater the weight. We have prominent figures here."

Said that Liu Bei didn't say anything here, the meaning is self-evident.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. We've already thought about this. Ma Chao's family is famous? It's not worse than the fourth generation and the third prince, right? It's enough for Ma Chao to take the lead in writing the letter. He was once a great warlord. His father is also a Marquis of the imperial court, and also a descendant of the famous General Han Fubo, Ma Yuan, so prominent, who would not accept it?"

"It's enough to have Ma Chao, but it's a pity that Liu Zhang actually surrendered to Jiangdong Sun Quan. Alas, with his support, the effect would be better, and the son Liu Qi died too early!" Xu Shu sighed.

Liu Bei thought about it and then sighed, feeling that he was out of luck.

Zhuge Liang blinked his eyes, thought carefully for a while and said, "There is one more person, my lord, have you forgotten Pei Feng's identity?"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, "Pei Feng? That's right, Pei Feng's father was a minister of the former court and had made great achievements. Having Pei Feng's support is also very useful!"

Xu Shu was a little surprised. It turned out that Pei Feng still had such a secret identity. Unknowingly, Xu Shu became more optimistic about Pei Feng.
