The straight line distance from Shouchun City to Quyang battlefield is less than forty miles, and contact is not only convenient, so Xiao Yuan Sangong asked Uncle Liu to go south to block the main force of Xuzhou. In the evening of that day, he was sent to Quyang battlefield by Xiao Yuan Sangong's cousin Yuan Yin.

, sent to the Liu Yuan coalition army that was besieging Quyang, but Yuan Yin, who had a ghost in his heart, did not dare to enter the Liu camp to pass an order, and invited the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang to the Yuan Shu army camp controlled by Qiao Rui and Lei Bo.

The orders of Xiao Yuan Sangong read to the three brothers Taozi in his own central army tent.

After listening to the order from the young Yuan Sangong, the extremely cunning Uncle Liu could still control it. Except for the fist placed on his knees, his face had almost no change in his face, but Guan Yu and Zhang, who were standing behind Uncle Liu.

Fei couldn't do it anymore. Before Yuan Yin finished speaking, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were already yelling with a pale face, "What? Let's intercept Tao Ying's small thief's return to the rescue army? This time, he attacked Quyang, and continued

After sieging the city day and night for several days, we have lost tens of thousands of troops, and the remaining teams are mostly exhausted. What should we use to intercept Tao Ying Xiaozhei's main army? How can we intercept his main army?!"

"General Guan, General Zhang, don't be anxious, please listen to it." Yuan Yin said with a tough forehead: "My lord also knows that your troops suffer heavy casualties and the soldiers are exhausted, but now the little thief Tao Ying is about to return, if he is not sent to him, he will not be sent.

If one army goes south to block the attack, then the sacrifices we made in the city of Quyang will be wasted. So there is no way, my lord can only ask Duke Xuande to work hard."

"Then your lord won't let your Huainan army intercept it?" Zhang Fei roared: "These days of fighting Quyang, our army has fought hard and bloody battles. Your Huainan army is just hiding behind to watch the fun! Now intercept Tao

As the traitors returned to the main force to help, they also wanted our army to fight hard battles in front of the battle, and you hid behind to watch the fun. You want to occupy all the good things in the world?!"

"Brother, this battle cannot be fought!" Guan Yu also roared angrily: "Brother, please lead the army to rescue Huainan, but Yuan Shu just wants to push us forward and die, without any sincerity in joining hands. We don't have to make any more heat.

The face is pressed against his cold butt. Let's go back to Runan to make another plan!"

Not to mention it. Uncle Liu really wanted to hear Guan Yu's angry words and lead the army back north. He would rather go back to Runan to eat braised vegetables than go south to meet the main force of Xuzhou, who was in full swing. But considering this time, Nan

Crossing the Huai River, he had already lost tens of thousands of troops. Not only did he leave, he was also very harmful to his benevolence, righteousness and good reputation. Therefore, Uncle Liu finally gave up this idea and just looked at Yuan Yin gently, using the most sincere and most important

Duchun looked at Yuan Yin with such a look, making Yuan Yin feel ashamed while nervously planning countermeasures.

When he was stared at by the sincere gaze of Emperor Liu, Yuan Yin, who was ashamed of his heart, felt more ashamed and said stutteringly: "Donald Xuande, please rest assured. If your army can defeat the Xuzhou thief led by Tao Ying Xiaozhe,

Or if we can stop Tao Ying's thief for several days and persist until our army breaks through Quyang, then my lord will definitely have a good reward, and war horses, money, food, and supplies will definitely have a good reward."

Uncle Liu still didn't speak, and Qiao Rui and Lei Bo next to him didn't speak - although they felt that their lord had done too much, considering that his lord did this for the benefit of the Huainan army, they simply became bored.

In the huge military tent, only the heavy breathing sounds of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two peerless men, were left.

After a long time, Liu Huangshu finally spoke and said lightly: "Before Bei crossing the river, I had an agreement with Yuan Gonglu. After Bei crossing the river, he obeyed Yuan Gong's orders. Since Yuan Gong ordered Bei to go south to block the attack, Bei should obey his orders. That's it.

It's settled. Tomorrow morning, Bei will lead his army south to block the thief Tao Ying. Here in Quyang, please contact General Qiao and General Lei."

Yuan Yin was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed to Uncle Liu to thank him repeatedly. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dissatisfied but were inconvenient to object. Lei Bo was not concerned about his hypocritical politeness. Qiao Rui was in a complicated mood, his lips trembled for a long time, and he couldn't help but say:

"Duke Xuande, please be careful. If you can block it, you can block it. If you can't, just... act on the camera."

Uncle Liu smiled and nodded to Qiao Rui, without saying a word. He stood up and led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei away from the tent. When he walked to the door of the tent, Uncle Liu turned around and said calmly to Yuan Yin: "Please report."

In order to fight against the hypocrites of the pottery thieves, Yuan Gong needs one thousand hard crossbows, 30,000 crossbow arrows, and one month's food and grass. If Yuan Gong provides them in full, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang will fight to the last army.

A soldier also wanted to stop Tao Ying's little thief from returning to help!"

"A month's food and grass?" Yuan Yin frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "What do you want so much food to do? It's only 220 miles from Quyang to Hefei. It's very easy to replenish food and grass, so it's worth bringing so much food.

Going south? No matter how confused it is, since Uncle Liu has agreed to go south to die, Yuan Yin is not able to refuse Uncle Liu's request for money and food on the spot, so he nodded and replied: "Donald Xuande, please rest assured, please send someone to return overnight.

Shouchun reported to the lord, asking the lord to do his best to allocate it to him." Uncle Liu stopped talking and led the two generals of Guan and Zhang to step out of the tent, leaving Yuan Yin, Qiao Rui and Lei Bo to whisper in the tent.

After silently returning to his camp, Zhang Fei couldn't wait to scream before Uncle Liu's butt was sitting firmly, "Brother, Yuan Shu is so ruthless and unrighteous, why do you still agree to intercept Tao Ying for him

Little thief? With our current situation, going south to fight against Tao Ying’s main team, wouldn’t it be that the soldiers were killed in vain?”

"My brother, why don't you know that our army is not the main opponent of the pottery thieves?" Uncle Liu replied calmly: "But I went south to rescue Huainan, one to save the people of Huainan, and the other to eliminate traitors for the country and help Yuan.

Highway wiped out the Tao Ying traitors who poisoned Huainan. I was sincerely aligned with Yuan Gaolu to fight against the thieves, and promised to accept Yuan Gaolu's command. If I disobey the order and do not obey, I will say without trust, and I will also make Yuan Gaolu doubt my sincerity in cooperation.

If two people are suspicious, it is difficult to get things done."

"Although my brother is right, the strength of our army is still far from that of Tao Ying's main force. This time I go south, I'm afraid there will be a lot of danger." Guan Yu reminded and said, "Besides, Yuan Shu bullied me so much.

Army. Even if our army luckily blocks Tao Ying's thief for a while, or preserves certain strength to withdraw from Shouchun Yinling, in the future, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will use the same trick again and again, and push our army to the front line again and again until our army is defeated.

He was completely damaged, and then kicked me away."

"That's why I asked Yuan Highway for one month of food and grass." Uncle Liu replied seriously: "Quyang is only more than 200 miles away from Hefei, so it is easy to replenish food and grass. Our army does not need to carry so much food and grass to block the Tao Ying thief.

I deliberately asked for food and grass for January, but in fact I was just to test Yuan's sincerity in cooperation. If Yuan's supply was sufficient, it proved that he was sincere in cooperating with our army. No matter how much we suffered in sending troops to fight against each other, it also proved that he was sincere in cooperating with our army.

All worth it.”

"What if Yuan Shu's average man refused to provide as much as possible, or simply didn't give it at all?" Guan Yu asked.

"We have worked hard to defeat the enemy for Yuan Highway, and we have lost more than ten thousand soldiers. We have already fulfilled our allies." Uncle Liu's tone was slow at first, but suddenly his voice changed again, and a trace of fierce light flashed in his eyes.

He said ruthlessly: "If Yuan Gaolu accumulates wealth and is reluctant to reward him, why do we still have to serve him?! It would be better to fight back and exert this bird's breath!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had never seen the little Yuan Sangong, applauded and applauded. Even when he was wise, Uncle Liu smiled slightly and continued to think in his heart, "I can only take one step at a time. If Yuan Gonglu really treats me as an ally."

.Of course it is best. If it really doesn't work, with Tao Ying Xiaozhei's shrewdness, you must consider whether it is better to force me to Yuan Shu completely against him, or to use my power to join forces to fight against Yuan Shu.

”

………………………………………

The next morning, the trustworthy uncle Liu really raised all his troops and drove south to intercept the main force of the Xuzhou army's return to aid. When he set out, the three young masters of the little Yuan also asked Yuan Yin to send him from Qiaorui and Lei Bo's army.

Uncle Liu asked for food and grass weapons, but the food and grass that Uncle Liu asked for only ten days of food for one month, and there were only three hundred crossbows and ten thousand arrows. Then Yuan Yin tried his best to explain, saying that

It was the food and grass weapons that Uncle Liu asked for for a while, so he could only provide these first and provide the remaining installments.

Tens of thousands of corpses were left on the battlefield of Quyang, but in the end they were only given such a little food and weapons. Not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who had a bad temper, they were even Gong Du and Liu Pi, the new friends of Uncle Liu, Gong Du and Liu Pi, were also the same.

Everyone was furious and pulled out the knife and scolded her mother on the spot. Yuan Yin was so scared that he retreated repeatedly. The team brought by Yuan Yin also showed off his weapons. However, Uncle Liu remained silent and snatched Liu Pi, while urging him.

Yuan Yin apologized repeatedly, and at the same time tried to restrain the team that had begun to stir up trouble, and ordered the entire army to go south immediately and rush to Hefei at full speed to intercept the main force in Xuzhou led by Tao Ying himself.

At the same time, after a brief rest for a day, Deputy Director Tao, who was worried about the war in Quyang, left the Hefei city, which had few defenders, and dared not attack. He immediately led the main army back to the army and traveled fifty miles a day to return to Quyang for rescue.

Tao Ji, Chen Dao, Chen Ying and others advised Tao Ying to speed up and rush back to Quyang for rescue as soon as possible. Tao Yingze replied with a smile: "No need to hurry this time. After Yuan Shu received the news of the war in Hefei, he would be considered

If we don’t fall into the trap or send the big-eared thief to death, we will definitely not dare to continue to attack Quyang at all costs. We have plenty of time, and walking slowly will help the soldiers recover their physical strength."

In order to keep the soldiers in Xuzhou, Tao Ying deliberately slowed down to head north. Uncle Liu, who had been quite tired in the battle of Quyang, turned aside and kept urging the army to accelerate south. On that day, he went south for eighty times.

The distance from the main force of Xuzhou was only about 40 miles away. After the scout of Xuzhou's army reported the situation to Tao Ying, Tao Ying was overjoyed and was inevitably confused again, "The big-eared thief is crazy."

?Most of his team was a mob, and he was exhausted from fighting in Quyang one after another. He actually dared to march for 80 miles a day? Is he afraid that he would not die fast enough?"

Deputy Director Tao's doubts soon came to an answer. After the Xuzhou army camp was settled, Tao Ying had just finished his routine personal patrol. The scout outside the camp came to report that he had caught a scholar riding a horse south. , claiming to have a secret military matter, reported to the governor of Xuzhou, the envoy Tao, and requested Tao Ying to meet him. Deputy Director Tao did not hesitate and nodded immediately to agree to meet him. Although the envoy suddenly came when the two armies were about to fight, it was a trick or a trick. But when it comes to fraud and intrigue, Deputy Director Tao, who graduated from our public servant school, has never been afraid of anyone.

What surprised Tao Ying was that this mysterious messenger in his forties looked very familiar. After carefully recalling it for a while, Tao Ying quickly recognized the messenger's identity and couldn't help but exclaim, "Sun Gan? You It was Liu Bei's involvement in Sun Gan and Sun Gongyou!"

"I am good at memorizing, and I am humiliated and humiliated. I am Sun Gan." Sun Gan replied with a wry smile: "Although I have never met you, I heard that I have sent someone to pinch it with wheat noodles. I can't imagine that I can remember the appearance of a wheat-faced human head, which is really admirable."

Tao Ying laughed and hurriedly invited Sun Gan to take a seat. After the guards got the tea, Tao Ying also vaguely guessed what Sun Gan was coming, so he laughed and said, "Mr. Gongyou, Duke Xuande invited you this time, because he wanted to make peace with him. Should I join forces to destroy Yuan Shu? What excuse was used? - Dissatisfied with the fact that Yuan Shu's old man sent his army south to die. This excuse seems to be untenable and does not conform to Xuande Gong's usual style of conduct."

Sun Gan opened his mouth and shook his head for a while and sighed: "The envoy is indeed awesome. No wonder my lord Xuande was defeated by the envoy repeatedly. This is a skill that can be used to predict the enemy's first opportunity. My lord is really hard to chase after. Since the envoy guesses When we arrived, we didn't dare to deceive us. Our army lost more than 10,000 troops under Quyang City. Not only did Yuan Shu not give me rewards, but my lord asked for military rations for one month. Yuan Shu also only gave him ten days of food. Our soldiers were furious. The Lord Liu Envoy was also annoyed that Yuan Shu was ruthless and unrighteous…”

"It's true that's the same thing again." Tao Ying smiled again and said, "Mr. Gongyou, can your lord change his tricks? Last time he played this trick in Xuzhou, I wasn't bad enough, right? ”

"The envoy misunderstood." Sun Gan quickly shook his head and explained: "My lord, Liu, is not a random blackmail. Our soldiers were born and killed by Yuan Shu, and lost more than 10,000 soldiers. However, Yuan Shu's husband did not even send enough food and grass at once. It's enough, my master asks for one month's food, and I also want to compensate the soldiers in the army who have worked hard and made great contributions."

Tao Ying laughed no matter how hard he was, he was too lazy to examine the thickness of our Uncle Liu. Sun Ganze lowered his voice and said, "Encourt, my lord has a sentence to you in secret--Meng De ordered my lord to go south to Runan. The task assigned to our Lord is to harass and cut off the food supply route of your army, but my lord did not do so."

Tao Ying stopped his smile, looked at Sun and said with a smile: "I believe that sending troops to harass and cut off our military's food supply will have no benefit to Duke Xuande himself. Of course, Duke Xuande would not do such a stupid thing. .”

Sun Gan's expression was even more awkward, and Junnuo said: "Just just understand the kindness of my lord, but I don't know what the envoy meant to the young envoy? Although Yuan Shu is not his opponent, his soldiers There are so many horses, and the envoy's troops are not very sufficient. Don't you want to have a more capable ally on the battlefield in Huainan? Charge for the envoy and fight bravely to fight the enemy? And the envoy's return to Quyang is about to help, Yuan Shu will definitely retreat to Shouchun to defend his life. Waiting for help, don’t you want a team to block their way before Yuan Shu’s team retreats to Shouchun?”

"What does Xuandegong want?" Tao Ying asked without blinking his eyes.

"After the matter is completed, our Lord will only gain a foothold in Yangzhou." Sun Gan replied carefully: "Construct an alliance with the envoy and make an alliance forever."

Deputy Director Tao blinked his evil triangular eyes, and he began to think in his stomach that had never been good. "It's good to have a team that can fight tough battles and dare to fight hard as cannon fodder, but this Yangzhou county... No matter which county in Yangzhou falls into the hands of the big-eared thief, my Jiangdong will be in danger."
