Zhang Fei and Jian Yong were playing the game, but Liu Bei keenly grabbed the point of Jian Yong's words and asked, "I almost broke into Xudu, what's going on?"

Jian Yong clasped his fists and said, "Lord, this matter is a long story, why don't we go in and talk about it."

"Oh, yes, look at my memory, let's go."

Liu Bei hurriedly invited the two of them into the account.

The master and servant sat down, and the soldiers served tea. Jian Yong picked up and moistened his throat, coughed and began to tell their experience in Xudu.

After talking about everything in detail for half an hour, Liu Bei was smiling, but his face became worse the more he listened, and the tighter he clenched his fists.

After the lecture, Jian Yong took out an edict from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

Liu Bei took it and saw it. His heart trembled violently. The edict listed the crimes of the thief Cao, and every word was full of blood and tears.

Through the edict, Liu Bei seemed to see the scene where the emperor was trapped in the palace and was crying all day long. He stared at the tent with red eyes and looked out for a long time. Suddenly he smashed the table, got up and yelled: "Put the army and prepare for war, follow me to Xudu to rescue the emperor."

Everyone's faces changed and stopped them quickly. Jia Xu was the first to go out and persuaded: "Lord, no, the battle between us and Jiangdong has reached a critical moment. If we retreat at this time, we will lose all our efforts."

"Yes, lord."

Xu Shu continued: "Sun Ce lost several times in a row, suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers had become sad soldiers. When they retreated, Sun Ce would inevitably counterattack. Moreover, the Cao army was well-equipped and strong, and our army fought for a long time. How could it be its opponent?"

Liu Bei kept the edict tightly, his fingernails embedded in his palm and stabbed blood without even notice. He gritted his teeth and said, "I also know that this is not a good opportunity to fight against Cao thief, but the emperor..." It is not a good opportunity?

All the people present were all humans. They instantly understood what Liu Bei meant. They didn't really want to beat Cao Cao, but just wanted to express their hatred for Cao thieves.

To put it bluntly, it's acting.

Since that's the case, what else to worry about? Let's accompany you to act.

Jia Xu said, "Lord, the emperor is in trouble. We are as anxious as the lord. However, Cao's thief is too powerful. If you want to rescue the emperor, you have to make a long-term plan."

"Yes, lord."

Xu Shu added: "Although there are many princes in the world, they are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty. The only lord is the one who is loyal to the emperor. They rashly start a war with Cao's army. It's best if they win, what if they lose?"

"My subordinates think that our top priority is to defeat Sun Ce and pacify Yangzhou."

"After Yangzhou is pacified, it is safest to contact Yuan Shao to attack Cao in the north. The lord, the emperor failed to reign and could no longer bear the second failure."

Liu Bei was moved and leaned on the chair and said with a sad look on his face, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry..." Before he finished speaking, a small school hurried in and said, "Lord, the emperor's special envoy has arrived, and he is already ten miles away from the camp."

"What?"

Liu Bei's face turned violently and stood up.

The civil and military officials also looked at each other and sighed: "It's coming so fast."

Liu Bei closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "Get out of the account and welcome it."

A group of people rushed out of the handsome tent and rode their horses ten miles away to greet them.

About two quarters of an hour later, I finally saw the emperor's ceremonial guard.

Liu Bei dismounted and quickly stepped forward and said, "Liu Bei, the governor of Yangzhou, met the emperor's special envoy."

The carriage stopped, and the special envoy Man Chong got out of the carriage with the emperor's flag in his hand, and said with a smile: "Envoy Liu is polite, please get up."

Liu Bei stood up, Zhao Yun stepped forward and said, "Zhao Zilong has met Liu Envoy."

Liu Bei's face was happy and said with a smile: "Zilong, we haven't seen each other for many years."

"yes."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "It's been six or seven years."

"Time flies so fast, please."

Liu Bei reached out and asked Man Chong and Zhao Yun to get back on the car. After returning to the camp, he invited the two of them into the coach's tent, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet.

The guest and the host sat down, and Man Chong said straight to the point: "Some time ago, Situ Zhao Wen, Taizhong Doctor Kong Rong and others held the emperor hostage and plotted to rebel. I believe the Envoy Liu had already heard of it."

Really direct.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "I heard a little."

Man Chong laughed and said, "The two generals Guan Jian were bewitched by the thief and were used by others. They accidentally brought out a forgery. Now that the rebellion has subsided, the emperor returned to the palace safely, and ordered the subordinate officials to take back the forgery. He also asked the envoy Liu to do some convenience so that the subordinate officials can go back and report to the emperor."

Retrieve the edict?

Liu Bei's face changed slightly, and he calmed down and said with a smile: "I haven't seen any edicts. Did the envoy Man misunderstand?"

Man Chong shook his head and said, "Envoy Liu should know that this edict is not beneficial in your hands. Before coming, Sikong specifically ordered that as long as the eunuch hand over the edict, the court would give up all support to Jiangdong."

This is because I am too lazy to deal with it, so I go straight to the point.

Is Cao Cao so anxious?

Liu Bei's face was slightly dark and his tone was unkind, "What if I don't get along?"

Man Chong smiled slightly and said with a firm look: "The jade...both burned..." "Envoy Liu should know that the shipyards in the two major ports of Langya Qu County have never stopped. Now the imperial court has more than 50 large ships over twenty feet, and there is no problem in transporting 50,000 troops. The coastlines of Wujun and Kuaiji counties are thousands of miles long, and any location may become a landed beach."

"The Fifth Army of the Black Robe Second Army has also arrived in Guangling, led by the veteran General Huang Zhong, and can go south to Wujun at any time."

"General Cao Ren, the front line of Luyang, is also waiting for trouble. Liu Envoy, do you really want to break up with the court and openly rebel?"

Liu Bei's face was so gloomy that he could wring out the water, and he snorted coldly: "Man Boning, are you threatening me?"

Man Chong smiled calmly and said, "It's not true, the lower official is just saying a fact. As for the follow-up, it depends on what choice Liu Envoy makes."

Xu Shu interrupted, "It may not be possible. As far as I know, Yuan Shao stationed 200,000 troops in the Guandu area. He always thought about going south. I don't believe that Sikong dared to attack Huainan at the risk of fighting on both sides."

"And Yan and Xuzhou were just flooded some time ago, and all the autumn grains were damaged and the particles were not collected. Even if Cao Sikong was willing, he would be powerless."

"If you worry about food and grass, General Xu doesn't have to."

Man Chong smiled and said, "I heard that the army seized a batch of canned salted fish in Jiangdong some time ago. Is there any problem with it?"

"The canned food factory in Quxian has started construction, and Wubianyang is all Sikong's granary. How can it be done if it is just grain and grass?"

Xu Shu was silent.

They did seize a batch of canned salted fish from Jiangdong. They were quite proud when they first seized it. Later they found out that it was given to them on purpose by Sun Ce to give it to them to try it out and whether there would be any problems with the food.

After learning about this situation, they almost died.

Although the canned salted fish tastes good, there are no adverse reactions after eating it, but I feel uncomfortable when I am used as a gun.

Liu Bei raised his eyelids and said, "We need to discuss this matter. Can we give us some time?"

“This is natural.”

Man Chong agreed with a smile.

Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong and said, "Xianhe, bring the envoy to rest."

"Here."

Jian Yong stood up from his seat and bowed to ask, "Special Envoy Man, General Zhao, please."
