Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, I revealed to Liu Bei that I was a time traveler

Plotting against Sun Ce?

Liu Bei's spirits perked up, and his eyes looked at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes were meaningful.

The look in his eyes was telling Liu Bei that what he said about plotting against Sun Ce was recorded in the history books and was bound to happen.

"I heard that Yuan Shu treats Sun Ce like a son, and Sun Ce will oppose Yuan Shu?"

Zhang Zhao still had little understanding of Cao Yuan's clever calculations, and couldn't help but question it.

Liu Bei knew that what Xiao Yuan said was a historical fact, but he also wanted to hear Xiao Yuan's explanation to clear up the doubts in his heart.

"Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, is a righteous man who pleases Dong and a hero who helps Han. "

"Yuan Shu usurped the throne and openly rebelled against the Han, if Sun Ce continued to follow, wouldn't he also become a traitor to the Han and insult the reputation of his father Sun Jian?"

Moreover, Yuan Shu said on the surface that he would treat Sun Ce like a son, but in fact, he was not less vigilant. "

"Even the old ministry left by Sun Jian was exchanged by Sun Ce from Yuan Shu with the jade seal of the country. "

"I expect that Sun Ce has long been resentful of Yuan Shu, Cao Cao sealed in the name of the Son of Heaven, Sun Ce will definitely push the boat down the river and announce his break with Yuan Shu. "

Xiao Yuan had no choice but to spend a little more time and give Lao Liu and Zhang Zhao an explanation.

Zhang Zhao came to his senses and sighed in admiration: "Xiao Junshi's relationship with Yuan Shu and Sun Ce is really insightful, and Zhao Zi sighs. "

"In that case, what do we have to worry about!".

Liu Bei's face was full of pride, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Pass the order, immediately gather soldiers and horses, and defeat Yuan Shu!"

"No!".

...

Seven days later.

Sun Ce, the little overlord, accepted the position of a rebellious general from the imperial court, publicly reprimanded Yuan Shu as a rebel and announced a break with him.

Yuan Shu was furious, and immediately sent the general Qiao Rui to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses out of Hefei, claiming to cross the river to defeat Sun Ce.

Not to be outdone, Sun Ce gathered a large army on the south bank, declaring that he would cross the Yangtze River and take Shouchun directly.

As soon as Sun Ce rebelled, Cao Cao immediately sent troops.

Nearly 40,000 Cao troops marched south along Yingshui from Xudu and attacked Caicheng under the western barrier of Shouchun.

Yuan Shu didn't dare to underestimate Cao Cao, and immediately ordered Ji Ling to lead 30,000 elite soldiers and stationed in Xia Cai.

On the eastern front, Yuan Shu ordered his son Yuan Yao to lead 6,000 Yuan troops into Xuyi City to guard against Liu Bei.

The soldiers left behind in Shouchun are less than 5,000.

The news from all sides was quickly transmitted back to Xiapi.

Liu Bei decisively ordered to assemble the soldiers of the county government.

At Xiao Yuan's suggestion, Guan Yu still led 5,000 soldiers and horses, together with Mi Zhu and Sun Qianzhen to guard Xiapi.

Gao Shun led 5,000 troops and stationed in Peicheng to guard against Cao Cao.

General Liu Bei personally led nearly 30,000 soldiers to the south along Surabaya and directly took Xuyi City, the eastern barrier of Shouchun.

"In this battle, we should work together with you to fight side by side to destroy the traitor Yuan Shu!"

"Everyone, please!".

Liu Bei was solemn and solemn, and bowed his hand to the generals.

The generals stood up and responded in unison: "We are willing to fight to the death for the Lord!"

The military discussion ended, and everyone acted according to the plan.

Mi Zhu stayed, as if he had something to say, but it was difficult to speak.

"Zizhong, our lord and minister are honest with each other, and they know everything, just say what you have to say. "

Liu Bei saw that he had something on his mind, so he waved his hand generously.

Mi Zhu then arched his hand: "Lord, Zhu has a private matter, and I want to ask my lord to help." "

Liu Bei smiled: "What does Zizhong want me to do, just say it." "

"Ahem, that's right. "

"The sister has now reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and Zhu is such a sister, so I want to choose a wishful husband for her. "

"The Changsu military division has not yet been married, and he is the same age as his sister, so Zhu intends to marry his sister to him. "

"It's just that this matter is not easy for Zhu to speak, so I want to ask the lord to mention it to Xiao Junshi. "

Mi Zhu was embarrassed to say the request.

Liu Bei understood, Mi Zhu asked him to be a matchmaker.

"Changsu is my henchman, so he marries the Mi family, which is a kind of entrapment for Mi Zizhong..."

After Liu Bei weighed it for a while, he said happily: "Zizhong, don't worry, this good thing is on me, after the end of the Southern Expedition, it will be the time for Ling Mei to marry Changsu." "

Mi Zhu was overjoyed and thanked him immediately.

...

On the banks of Surabaya, ferry.

Tens of thousands of government soldiers are boarding the ship in an orderly manner.

Liu Bei immediately trestled the bridge and examined his army.

"Lord, if we go south by water with such fanfare, Yuan Yao will inevitably take precautions. "

"Although this person is mediocre, Yang Hong, who assists him, has some wisdom, plus there are 7,000 Yuan troops. "

"We want to break through Xuyi quickly, but I'm afraid it may not be easy. "

Chen Deng suddenly raised concerns.

Yuan Long has a point. "

"If Yuan Shu knew that our army was heading south, it was very likely that Yuan Yao would be able to increase his troops, and this Xuyi City would be even more difficult to fight. "

Liu Bei was reminded and looked at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan said lightly: "Lord and Yuanlong, I have already thought of your concerns, and I have already thought of a countermeasure. "

Liu Bei perked up and hurriedly asked, "What other tricks does the military advisor have?"

"Heading south by water, the march is slow, of course, it will give Yuan Yao enough time to prepare. "

"So we are making such a big fanfare, we are just acting for Yuan Yao. "

"If you want to break through Xuyi quickly, you have to rely on a surprise attack by land!".

In Xiao Yuan's eyes, a strange color flashed.

"By land?".

Liu Bei and Chen Deng spoke in unison.

"The lord has forgotten that in the past six months, we have spent a lot of money to purchase more than 1,000 good horses from Liaodong. "

"After Zhang Liao's training, we have nearly two thousand cavalry. "

"The advantage of cavalry, the lord should know best. "

Xiao Yuan's smile was meaningful.

Chen Deng suddenly realized: "The plan of the military advisor, could it be that going south along the waterway is just a bluff, but in fact it is to cover Zhang Wenyuan and lead the cavalry to attack Xuyi City by land?"

Xiao Yuan smiled without saying a word.

Liu Bei also reacted, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turns out that the Changsu Army Division has a clever plan for a long time, so why didn't he say it earlier." "

"Yuan Shu has no shortage of meticulous work in Xiapi, and the more the lord uses this trick at the moment before sending out the army, the more he can hide from Yuan Shu's ears and eyes. "

Liu Bei then understood, nodded and praised: "It's still the military advisor's careful consideration, yes, that's how it should be." "

Xiao Yuan's horse whip pointed south: "It's about to get dark, without further ado, the lord immediately ordered Zhang Liao to attack Xuyi." "

"Good!".

Liu Bei was in high spirits and happily ordered.

Zhang Liao led 2,000 light horsemen to roll south along the east bank of Surabaya, and went straight to Xuyi City.

30,000 soldiers from Xuzhou Prefecture took a raft and went south along the Surabaya River.

At the end of the spring of that year, Liu Bei sent troops to Huainan.

Yuan Liu officially went to war!
