The trial immediately suggested: "my Lord, for today's plan, we should withdraw our troops temporarily. Our army did not intend to rebel against the imperial court. For many days, our army did not take advantage of the opportunity to enter when the imperial army was at war with CaO and sun. Now, the relationship between the Lord and his majesty has not reached the point of immortality. When our army withdraws its troops now, the imperial army will not pursue them. It will not be too late to make a plan after the city defense of Xuzhou is stabilized. "

"This..." Liu Bei looked at the crowd and then asked Tian Feng, "can Yuan Hao have a good strategy?"

Tian Feng bowed his head to think about it and said, "according to my humble opinion, the Lord should plan."

"Oh? How to make a plan? " Liu Bei asked.

"First, they withdrew temporarily, but did not return to Xuzhou. Instead, they continued to stay in Licheng to deter Yanzhou and Jizhou. If the Lord withdraws due to the situation in Xuzhou at the moment, it will inevitably fall into the real population. It is said that the Lord is only devoted to his own foundation. In this way, his name of "Qing Jun Bian" will disappear. "

Liu Bei nodded frequently: "yes, it's just what I want. What about the second one?"

"Second, he immediately sent an emissary to see Cao Cao, but it was not to be held accountable for the sneak attack on Donghai County."

Liu Bei was surprised and said, "if you don't want to be held accountable, what else can we do?"

Tian Feng shook his head: "for this matter, our army has no real evidence. Now that the two sides are allied, if our army speculates, it will inevitably damage the alliance. Therefore, we can only pretend to be confused about the sneak attack. Cao Cao doesn't say anything about it, and our army doesn't mention it. It only says that Xuzhou is unstable, and there are frequent robbers invading the city, which makes our army unstable outside and affects the army Heart. On this pretext, he borrowed Pengcheng and xiapi from Cao Cao temporarily to stabilize Xuzhou. After the event was completed, he would return it. "

Liu Bei's eyes brightened and said, "this is a wonderful plan. It's wonderful."

But on second thought, he hesitated: "it's just But how could Cao mengde give up Pengcheng and xiapi? It should be noted that these two counties are the richest places in Xuzhou, accounting for nearly 40% of the population and taxes in Xuzhou. Now that Cao Cao is losing ground, how can he give up the two prefectures

Tian Feng is very confident about this: "Lord, don't worry, Cao Cao will certainly answer."

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and immediately drank: "order the whole army to close down with gold!"

Looking at the retreating army like the tide, Zhao Jin was filled with surprise and joy, and seized Chen Gong's hand. She was so excited.

"Gongtai, Gongtai, this time I'm totally convinced. What kind of means did you use to let Liu Bei withdraw his troops on his own initiative? Come on, give me an explanation, or let me have a long insight. "

"Chen Gong laughs:" have no him, just used 3000 small pawn just

With that, he walked down the tower with a smile and left a confused face of Zhao Jin.

"Three thousand soldiers? What do you mean Is it Ah, I see. Gongtai, wait for me... "

Shenyang City, ten days ago, after XiahouDun captured the city, the next day, Cao Cao fled here. After the troops of both sides converged, Cao Cao ordered XiahouDun, XiahouDun, and caoren to lead 30000 soldiers respectively, and stationed in three directions outside the city, relying on each other, attacking and defending.

Liu He personally led the army to attack twice. Seeing that it was difficult to break through for a while, he withdrew his troops for a rest, and both sides were able to suspend their troops temporarily.

Over the past few days, many craftsmen have been repairing and strengthening the walls and gates on all sides, which is a hot scene.

At the moment, a group of people, just entered the gate, all the way to Cao Cao's residence.

Among the two leaders, one of them was Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde, the counselors under Cao Cao's account, while the middle-aged man with the appearance of a scribe beside him was Sun Qian and sun Gongyou, who had followed Liu Bei for more than ten years.

Since Sun Qian came to the city, he often looked at the city wall and the houses on both sides of the city wall. Cheng Yu asked with a smile: "Sir, when you first came here, our army consolidated the city defense day and night. We didn't dare to be slack. Just waiting for Liu Junjun's good news, we joined forces to attack Liu He. Now, sir, I don't know how to teach me?"

Sun Qian glanced at him and stroked his long beard: "under Cao Gong's account, the military power is certainly strong, and the city is also very strong, but..."

"Oh? But how about it? "

Sun Qian sighed: "but compared with the Imperial Army and the city, it is always inferior. I'm afraid it will be hard to match. I don't know how Cao Gong can resist the arrival of the imperial army? "

"This..." Cheng Yu's face changed slightly. Sun Qian's words were not pleasant to hear, but they were also true.

In recent days, under Cao Cao's personal command, he defeated Liu He several times in the city, but that was just a trial on Liu He. Every attack was a little bit, and he withdrew immediately if there was something wrong. Cheng Yu asked himself. In terms of the current military strength gap between the two sides in Yuzhou, if Liu He made up his mind to fight with all his strength, the small town of Shenyang would definitely not be able to defend it.

However, the cities of Yuzhou occupied by Cao's army are Shenyang, Langling and Anyang. Langling and Anyang are located near the border of Jingzhou. The cities are small and flat, so they can neither garrison nor defend. They have always been used as a food and fodder between Jingzhou and Henan.

Therefore, once Shenyang City was lost, the whole Yuzhou would not be owned by Cao's army. Therefore, Cao Cao knew that it was impossible to do it, and stuck to the small county town of Shenyang."This sun Qian really has some eloquence. He knew that it would be difficult for him to deal with Liu He alone, so he had to rely on the forces of Liu Bei and Sun Jian to contain him. He also deliberately said that he was not good at coming. It seems that Liu Bei is not an easy person. "

Cheng Yu began to murmur in his heart, but his face was still full of smiles: "ha ha, as long as you and my lord Li Li concentric, just Liu He, it's nothing."

"Is it?" Sun Qian laughed and said, "if it can, it's better."

They were escorted by a group of soldiers and soon came to the gate of the county government.

"My Lord has been waiting for a long time, sir."

Cheng Yu led sun Qian and walked in all the way.

After a long time, in the lobby.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Mr. Sun has been working hard. Please go to the post to have a rest. This matter will be discussed by Cao and others, and will be informed tomorrow."

Sun Qian immediately got up and bowed down: "in this case, Sun Mou left first. I'd like to say goodbye to you

Then he turned and left.

As soon as he left, Xia Houdun stood up and said, "son of a bitch, Liu Bei is nothing but a man who weaves mats and peddles shoes. Meng De thinks highly of him and forms an alliance with him. He dares to take an inch to ask for Pengcheng and xiapi. It's damned."

"My Lord, don't talk to him. If our army still has 50000 troops in Pengcheng and xiapi, he won't let him. He has the ability to attack since he came."

Xia Houyuan was also filled with righteous indignation.

"Yes, let him do it himself."

"Let's see how capable Liu Bei is, and dare to clamor with the Lord like this."

Many generals were angry.

However, Cao Cao himself had been gloomy and silent.

Guo Jia looked at his face, then stood out: "does the LORD have this intention?"

Cao Cao looked at him and asked, "what is the meaning of filial piety?"

Guo Jia replied, "my subordinates think it is feasible."

"What? Guo Jia, don't talk nonsense. We have worked hard to win these two prefectures. How can we take them away with Liu Bei's words? How can we be convinced

Many of the generals objected, but Cao Cao turned a deaf ear and asked, "tell me your reasons."

"Here it is." Guo Jia turned and looked at Xia Houdun and other generals.

"I have four reasons. First, since the Lujiang River and Huainan were occupied by Sun Jian, the two prefectures of Xuzhou had no border with our army and were difficult to control. Although there are more than one million people and plenty of material resources to support tens of thousands of troops, it is difficult to mobilize troops to participate in the Yuzhou war, and it is even more inconvenient to recruit grain and grass to support. It is like chicken ribs. It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to abandon them. "

As soon as his voice fell, Cao Hong said, "so what? After the capture of Luoyang, Liu Bei and Sun Jian were also in the hands of our army. At that time, the Xuzhou troops and horses just came from the rear. Then, Xu, Qing and Yang could easily get them. How could they be said to be useless? "

"The second reason is just related to what general Cao Hong said. Please calm down and don't be impatient."

When Guo Jia said this, Cao Hong and many generals held back their anger and continued to listen to him.

"Second, we have a tripartite alliance, but because of Liu He's great power, we have to do it temporarily. In fact, the three parties have different thoughts. General Cao Hong just said that after the attack of Luoyang, our army will cut off the other two families, which is really good. But did sun and Liu not plan to do so? Leaving Pengcheng and xiapi, once the Allied forces turn over, these 50000 troops will not help our army to capture the thieves, but will become the food of sun Liu's mouth in an instant, with no resistance at all. Instead of taking away the army, food and equipment for nothing, it is better to withdraw now and give up the city, so as to show the sincerity of our army's alliance. Moreover, if properly used, these 50000 troops may have the effect of a marvelous force. If we can take the opportunity to recover Yuzhou, will it not be worth ten times higher than that of the two counties in Xuzhou? "

Hearing his reason, the generals looked at each other and could not refute it for a moment.

Guo Jia continued with a smile: "third, Liu Bei has repeatedly invaded Donghai County under the pretext of unknown troops. Sun Qian's words, though not explicitly stated, clearly suspected that our army had sent people to harass him. There was a latent meaning of accusing our army of destroying the alliance. It's just that they didn't make it clear, and we can't argue. Whether it is Liu Bei's deliberate provocation or some people's obstruction, in short, if it can not be solved, the alliance between Liu Bei and our side will surely disappear. A few days ago, when he attacked Taishan County, his troops suddenly withdrew in the middle of the attack. That's why. "

"The transfer of the two prefectures to Liu Bei not only cleared the suspicion thoroughly, but also enabled Liu Bei to attack Yanzhou without any worries. With more than 100000 troops in Yanzhou, we dare not say that Liu he can't look at each other head and tail, and he will certainly be able to contain many of his troops. In this way, when our army counterattacks, our chances of winning will increase greatly. "

"Fourth, the Lord regarded Liu He as a usurper and usurper, and our army appointed himself a righteous division. The surrender of the city was an act of respecting great righteousness and giving up small profits. It was in accord with the will of heaven and obedience to the people's hearts. Although Liu Bei made a profit for a while, he lost his heart. When the alliance broke down in the future, the Lord could use the subject to say that he was a hindrance to the alliance and set up allies by treacherous schemes. It was our army's consideration of the overall situation that he did not care about the city 。 At that time, our army will march eastward and attack Liu Bei, which will be a righteous division. We will be invincible if we attack all"What's more, the two counties are located at the border between sun and Liu. If necessary, the Lord can seal the two counties to Sun Jian, thus provoking a fight between them. Our army can watch the fire from the shore and make a profit from it."

"My humble opinion, please enlighten me."

After that, Guo Jia bowed down and returned to her position.

"Well, well said." As soon as Cao Cao patted the table, he said, "the words of filial piety fit my heart."

"Lord, this..." Xia Houdun and others seemed to be reluctant.

"Yuan rang doesn't have to say anything more." Cao Cao's face sank, and he seemed to think of something: "Cao Ang's hatred, Yu Zhou's hatred, must not be unrequited. With the strength of our army alone, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Liu He. For this great cause, it is only two prefectures. Why should we abandon it? Where is Cheng Yu? "

"My subordinates are here."

"Go and inform sun Qian that tomorrow I will hold an afternoon banquet in the mansion to help him get rid of the dust, and then discuss the issue of ceding the city."

"Yes, I do."

In the backyard of Ancheng county government, Liu Hedan was sitting in a pavilion. Liu Zheng, Guan Ping, Cheng Yang and Zhuge Liang stood in front of him respectfully.

"This time, although you and other four people have run out of Luoyang and come to Yuzhou without authorization, they should have been punished. However, if you think that you are so loyal and brave, you will not be investigated."

"Thank you, your majesty." Zhuge Liang three people, bow down and kowtow, but Liu Zheng is a hard mouth, a face reluctant.

"It's just that we don't reward the four emperors for their contributions."

Liu He looked at his expression and said with a smile: "you boy, you've been spoiled by your mother and grandmother since you were young. You dare to talk back to your father. Well, well, even if you're right, what kind of reward do you want? "

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up and blurted out: "the child wants to..."

As soon as he was speaking, Zhang Yong, Gao Shun and Xun you came over in a hurry.

As soon as Liu he saw their looks, they were all a little dignified, then waved to Liu Zheng to stop first, and then called on three people to come forward.

"I will see your majesty."

"Well, what can I do for you?"

Xun you stepped forward: "just after receiving the memorial, Cao Cao gave up the two counties of Xuzhou to Liu Bei. His 50000 troops stationed in Xuzhou had already pulled out their camp and retreated yesterday. However, this large army has been dispersed into many small units and sneaked into the mountains and fields. Therefore, it is difficult to find out where they have gone for a while."

Liu he was slightly surprised, but then he began to laugh: "I can't think of Chen Gong's strategy. Although it solved the danger of Yanzhou, it also made the alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Bei more and more firm. It's worthy that they are two heroes in the world. They should change with the situation and hum, which is really not easy to deal with."

Zhang Yong said: "Wei Chen thought that they should attack Cao Cao first, then Liu Bei, and finally attack Sun Jian from the north and the south. Although Cao Cao built fortifications in Shenyang and set up barracks outside the city, they acted as horns for each other, but in the end, there were few soldiers and the city was dilapidated. With the strength of our army, we could break the city in three days

After that, he looked at Liu Zheng again, and then added: "Wei Chen is willing to serve for your majesty and take the head of the thief Cao. However, there is a lack of strong general in the army of Wei Chen. In addition to the five younger brothers, your majesty is also requested to transfer the eldest prince, Ping'er and yang'er to the minister's army. "

Liu Zheng and other three people's facial expression is happy: "the child nephew is willing to serve."

Liu He looked at them, shook his head and said, "no need. The fourth younger brother's view is very reasonable, but it is because of this that the war is very crucial. Therefore, I still drive the emperor to fight in person, in order to make all things better. "

When Zhang Yong heard the speech, although he was somewhat disappointed, he did not say much: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and I obey your orders."

Xun you stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Bei attacked Taishan county a few days ago. Because of changes in Xuzhou, he withdrew his troops. Now that he has got Pengcheng and xiapi counties, he will attack Yanzhou again. I think that when you send a general quickly, increase the troops of Taishan County, in case of any accident. "

Liu He is a mysterious smile: "don't worry, naturally someone will go to meet Liu Bei."
