Chapter 242 Liu Bei votes for Yuan
May of the first year of Xingping (194 AD).
Chang'an.
"Lord, Liu Bei was defeated and retreated to Xia Pi in the first month. After being trapped for several months, the people of Xia Pi were panicked. Later, the generals in Xia Pi City opened the city to surrender. Liu Bei took the opportunity to lead the remaining troops out of the north gate and fled directly to Jizhou to surrender to Yuan Shao."
When he heard the news when he came back to Chang'an, Lu Bu frowned, "This is not a good thing."
Most of the Yuzhou, which Cao Cao controlled, and Yanzhou also had the newly acquired Xuzhou. This time, Xuzhou did not experience the destruction of several years of wars and destruction as in the original history.
"Youzhou Gongsun Zan has no power to fight back, so he can only stay and wait for the time."
"Yuan Shao's 300,000 army has almost conquered the entire Youzhou."
"Sun Ce in Jiangdong will probably be a great enemy in the future."
With the reports of war, the heroes in the world competed for the waves and washed away the sand. I don’t know how many heroes were buried in the dust of history, and how many people could laugh at the last time.
"Where is Yizhou? Could it be that Liu Zhang's son really controls the entire territory of Yizhou?"
Faced with Lu Bu's doubts, Jia Xu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Lord, sometimes the master is weak, and the people below are happy to do this."
Guo Jia smiled casually and said freely: "Yizhou is in a stable situation, and the world is in chaos. No one is willing to choose to participate at this time, and no one wants a strong master. After all, Liu Yan has just left for a few years."
Liu Yanxiong was the emperor. If he hadn't died early, he would have probably had the name of this person among the princes.
"Wen Hou and Sun Ce of Jiangdong had a grudge against him to kill his father. Now that Yuan Shao has taken Youzhou, Gongsun Zan is not worth worrying about. At the same time, he sent 50,000 troops south to attack Qingzhou."
"At present, Bingzhou is connected with Jizhou, Yuan Shao is an enemy but not a friend."
"Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, after occupying Xuzhou, has even occupied the Central Plains. The first person he met with was Cao Mengde from the lord's army."
When he talked about this, Guo Jia shook his head and tsk his mouth. He raised his head and looked at Lu Bu and laughed: "Let's not talk about the natural dangers in Yizhou for now. Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan died of illness in Yizhou more or less has something to do with his lord. Even if Liu Zhang is cowardly, he may not bow his head when facing the enemy who killed his father."
"Liu Biao, Jingzhou, the local aristocratic families are mixed together. Although they claim to have 300,000 troops, it's a pity that this person is tied up and is powerless."
After a careful analysis, Guo Jia squinted his eyes and whispered to Lu Bu: "The only princes in the world, the only one who can form an alliance with Marquis Wen is probably Yuan Shu from Yangzhou."
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, Yuan Shu! What the princes in the world should be most worried about now is that Cao Cao is, sandwiched between the two Yuans in the north and south.
"Fengxiao, what if I want to form an alliance with Yuan Shu to destroy Cao Cao?"
When he said this, Lu Bu looked straight at Guo Jia, and Jia Xu, who was beside him, lowered his head and fell silent. His lord had always attached great importance to Cao Cao and Liu Bei for some reason, and his degree was far more than that of the two Yuans in the north and south.
After hearing this, Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, "Lord, once Cao Cao is destroyed, the lord will face the two Yuans in the north and south at that time."
"The Yuan clan of the four generations and three dukes joined forces, and his powerful soldiers were one million. At that time, no one in the world could stop him."
Yuan Shu has not been elected as emperor at the moment. He is definitely a strong side, with nearly 300,000 troops. If he really swallowed Cao Cao's chassis, the matter would be very big.
"Haha, it's a joke. I want to take Yizhou first and hold the steepness of Guanzhong. So what if the two Yuans join forces, so what if the millions of troops."
With a loud laugh, Lu Bu waved his hand casually. It was not just him who was so uncomfortable at the moment, but Cao Cao was the one who was most aggrieved.
Xuchang.
"Zhicai, although I have only 200,000 soldiers now, the two Yuans are guarding each other, and the maximum number of soldiers and horses they use is 100,000. What should I do?"
The most troublesome thing is Cao Cao. The two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu clamped him one by one, and the only gap was Lu Bu staring at him.
Now he is really enemies from all sides, and there is no gap to let him go.
"Lord, although our situation is not good now, the world is still in a deadlock, and no one dares to launch the first attack."
Xi Zhicai bowed to Cao Cao quite heavily and said, "The current situation in the world is very strange, as if he is in a balance."
"Yuan Shao has only two paths next. He can fight Bingzhou and Lu Bu, or go south to fight the Central Plains and openly fight with the Lord."
"Yuan Shu, who dares to take action first? If the Yuan family dares to take action first against Jiangdong, the princes will definitely take the opportunity to start a war."
Xi Zhicai told the strange situation at the moment, and even frowned and sighed: "Hey, Lu Bu is so steep that he can retreat to Guanzhong and seize the country even if the situation is not good. Especially this person has gained so many heroes in the world through Cai Daru's collection of books."
"Even Fengxiao! Fengxiao also defected to Lu Bu, alas."
Cao Cao laughed at his confidant adviser, and stroked his beard and said with a long smile: "Could Guo Fengxiao still have to live like a talented person?"
Xi Zhicai smiled and shook his head without saying anything. There was no first in literature or martial arts, but Guo Jia was definitely a talented person, but he had never met a wise master.
"Lord, maybe we can provoke a war between Beiliang and Yuan Shao, then!"
When he said this, Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes and said in a narrow voice: "In the battle in Hebei, the lord took the opportunity to go south to attack Yuan Shu."
"Depending on the victory or defeat of Hebei, if Yuan Shao wins, the lord joins hands to take Luoyang, Hedong and Henoi. If Yuan Shao loses, he will take Qingzhou."
After hearing the analysis of his military advisor, Cao Cao frowned and pondered, then shook his head with a sigh and said, "It's not easy. Yuan Benchu's army had just entered Qingzhou, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou had not completely failed. How could he be so unwise to provoke Lu Bu?"
But Xi Zhicai showed a strange smile and looked at his lord, "My lord, don't forget that heroes have loved beauty since ancient times. When Lu Bu was in Luoyang, he could see that this person had ambition."
"I heard recently that there is a woman in the Zhen family in Jizhou, not only because of her beauty, but also because of the rumor that this person is noble and has a motherly appearance in the world. Haha, even Yuan Shao is preparing to propose marriage for his second son."
With a strange smile, Cao Cao smiled even more awkwardly, but his heart became active.
Based on his understanding, Yuan Benchu actually wanted to marry the Zhen family. I am afraid this woman is extraordinary, and the wealthy man from the Zhen family in Hebei is even more famous all over the world.
If we can use this to separate the relationship between the two, with Benchu's proud personality, we will definitely not be able to withstand the slightest bit of sand in the eyelids.
"Zhicai, your plan is a bit of a loss."
In Cao Cao's plain voice, Xi Zhicai smiled, and he even squinted his eyes and said softly: "It's okay to try it, lord."
Jizhou Wuji.
"Mom, General Yuan proposed to his younger sister for his second son Yuan Xi, do you see?"
In the backyard, as the world's wars flew, the wealthy Zhen family in the north were often watched, especially in-laws.
A middle-aged woman in the backyard, leaning on a crutch, looked at her daughter playing in the yard kindly and couldn't hold her mouth shut.
"Mother?"
After seeing his son disturbing him again, the old woman bit her head helplessly and sighed: "Don't ask me this woman about this. You should know who Jizhou is in now."
"I am a fisherman, do you and my Zhen family have any choice?"
Although there are no more powerful princes in the world than Yuan Shao, Jizhou is still Yuan Shao's base camp and the other party's world. How could their Zhen family have the slightest resistance?
In this way, the servant sent by the Yuan family happily carried boxes of precious cloth and placed it in the Zhen family. The marriage was decided.
In the backyard, Zhen Mi, who was in the 14th Five-Year Planet, was obediently listening to the happy voice outside, and couldn't help but curiously said: "I wonder who Yuan Xi is? Are he also a great hero?"
"Hehe, Miss, stop joking. There is only one person in the world who can afford the word "hero".
"Who?"
At this age, Zhen Mi was the youth of her youth when she was looking forward to a bright future, especially the maid Chunling, who had been with her since childhood.
The maid Chunling proudly extended her thumb, "Who in the world doesn't call her a hero, even if Mr. Yuan failed in front of Hulao Pass."
As soon as he heard the legendary story of the flying general, Zhen Mi covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Chunling, tell me quickly, have you heard any story again?"
Chunling listened proudly to her chest and said, "Miss, do you know that there was also a young hero in Changshan, who was under the command of the Marquis of Wen of Northern Liang, and was the top scholar in the martial arts ranks."
Since Zhao Zilong of Changshan became famous, the entire Changshan County has been even more vocal, how could the little girl not know?
"Look at Mr. Yuan, although he dominates the country, it is because of the Yuan clan. Look at how many princes in the world do not rely on their own families. Even the White Horse General in Youzhou also relies on his mother's family to turn over."
"Only the flying generals, alone, go to the meeting, and fight against the heroes of the world outside the Hulao Pass..."
The little girl Chunling chattered excitedly, and Zhen Mi was even more intoxicated, and there was a blur in her eyes.
A great hero, but unfortunately his future husband is not sure what kind of person he will be.
The little girl Chunling looked at her lady, and there was a deep guilt in her eyes. When she thought of what she wanted to do, her legs were trembling with guilt. However, Zhen Mi, who was already fascinated, did not see it.
The maid Chunling smiled far-fetchedly and said softly to Zhen Mi: "Miss, I heard that someone in the city has witnessed the spirit of a flying general. How about we secretly buy a picture of a flying general on the grounds of borrowing the city to burn incense and praying another day?"
After hearing this, Zhen Mi couldn't help but exclaim, pointing at her house with a red face and said softly: "Didn't we just bought a painting some time ago?"
When Zhen Mi thought of this painting, her face turned red.
A great hero riding a fiery red war horse, holding a square painting halberd in his palm, fighting with nine generals on the battlefield.
It seemed that he was the great hero he had always dreamed of, and Chunling couldn't help but laugh after seeing this.
"Miss, can this be the same? Even the painted face is not clear. We secretly bought one, which I have seen with my own eyes."
With the rampant popularity of paper, although not many people in the world know how to write, many people use cheap paper to draw eccentric pictures to make a living.
"Okay, go to the Taoist temple outside the city to ask for blessings for your mother."
Zhen Mi smiled innocently, and her eyes were filled with confusion like water mist, and she felt shy. Under the hazy fantasy, the purest time was the time, and his great hero looked like.
Looking at the girl who was pregnant with Chunchun, the maid Chunling pretended to be embarrassed and her palms were soaked. Miss Chunling really didn't want to, but they tied Chunling's mother. I'm sorry, if Chunling in the next life will be a cow and a horse for you.
