Chapter 208 Shouchun City is destroyed and Liu Bei flees(2/3)
Perhaps in the eyes of other princes, Xi Yu is just a counselor. Although he has some slight swordsmanship, he is only good-looking at most.
But Liu Bei didn't dare to underestimate Xi Yu, after all, he had experienced Xi Yu's terror at close range.
In his opinion, this man is definitely the most powerful general in Cao's camp.
If he wears armor and fights in the future, he will be invincible.
"Withdraw the troops. Now Cao Cao will definitely not tolerate me. I finally escaped and I will never let him capture me again."
Hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, neither of them knowing how to answer.
After a while, Guan Yu could only sigh and said: "Brother, if we withdraw our troops, where will your brothers and I go?"
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, he already had a plan, "Jingzhou."
"There are countless celebrities and generals in Jingzhou City. Liu Biao has promised to give me Xinye and Rangcheng to reject Wancheng. In this way, as long as we recover Wancheng, we can lead the Nanyang Prefect."
Liu Bei's eyes showed bursts of hope. This was his most feasible strategy at present.
Perhaps, in this Jingzhou City, he will have unexpected gains.
"What? Wancheng?!" Hearing this, Zhang Fei exclaimed, "Don't Liu Biao regard you as the second Zhang Xiu?"
Zhang Fei is usually seen as reckless and lacking in strategy, but in fact, he is smarter than many generals.
Just from Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei had already seen through Liu Biao's thoughts in Jingzhou.
Guan Yu was quite surprised, "Third brother, you have been accompanying me when we entered Jingxiang this time. Why did you only learn about this now?"
As he spoke, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, obviously blaming Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei quickly smiled and said, "Second brother, please don't blame third brother. It was me who didn't let him in. As you know, third brother has always been impulsive. I'm worried that he might accidentally bump into Liu Biao, which would be more than worth the loss."<
/p>
"Hehe, brother is right." Zhang Fei suddenly smiled.
"Eldest brother, second brother, two brothers, look, Zilong has gone crazy in Shouchun City!"
As soon as Zhang Fei said these words, Liu Bei and Guan Yu immediately looked towards Shouchun City.
From a distance, the three of them saw Zhao Zilong among the tall pavilions, as if the God of War had descended to earth.
I saw that he was holding a spear and was invincible. All Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses wearing armor, even if they were holding sharp blades and resisting, they could not resist Zhao Zilong at all.
As Zhao Zilong's figure quickly shuttled, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were directly destroyed and killed without leaving any trace of armor.
Looking at Zhao Zilong from a distance, as if he was in a deserted place and invincible, Liu Bei felt a faint pain in his heart.
Alas, this brave and capable Zhao Zilong should have been owned by me, Liu Bei!!!
What a pity and even more hateful!
Soon, Shouchun City was breached and Yuan Shu's dynasty was destroyed.
……
It existed for less than two months, which was too short-lived. In this troubled world where princes were fighting, it was just a short-lived pseudo-imperial force.
The Yuan Shu dynasty fell in just two months, and the Yuan Shu clan lost all face.
However, Yuan Shao took advantage of this opportunity to deal with Gongsun Zan in Youzhou in the north.
General White Horse, who was once a powerful figure, had to be trapped in a building in the end. After killing all his family members, he committed suicide out of hatred.
This is very similar to Yuan Shu's death.
At this point, the two forces that once started together and helped each other are moving forward on their own path to strength.
The fight between each other also began to escalate.
After being breached, Shouchun City had to be rebuilt. Cao Cao personally took charge of the city and recruited his first counselor, Xi Yu.
Xi Yu set out from the grain station and went with Guo Jia, while Xun You went with Xi Zhicai.
Cheng Yu and Cao Ren came from Xiaopei, and Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others were also among them.
Up to now, Xuzhou, Yangzhou North, Yanzhou, three and a half states, and cities with a population of one million are all in Cao Cao's hands.
How powerful this is!
Cao Cao was very happy and held a grand celebration banquet.
At night, at the banquet, Cao Cao drank and chatted happily, unabashedly praising Zhao Zilong and the assassination team, his love was beyond words.
"Zilong, this assassination team of yours can be called a peerless soldier!!!"
Cao Cao was in a very good mood tonight, and he did not hesitate to express his love for Zhao Yun in his words.
"Zilong is such a fierce general with both literary and military skills! Let's find the second one today!"
Hearing this, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were immediately very unhappy. They were both very unconvinced, "My lord, I can't believe what you said. When it comes to military strategy, we definitely belong to Zhao Zilong!"
"Haha..." Cao Cao heard this and smiled slightly: "You two are quite a couple."
"My lord, what are you talking about? How can I be married to this reckless man?" Dian Wei said with great displeasure as he stuffed his mouth with meat and chewed it.
The way he eats is really rough, so Huang Zhong's eating appearance is a little more elegant.
Xi Yu didn't interrupt and just buried his head in eating.
However, Xi Yu is the one with the largest appetite. Together with Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Zhao Yun, these four people can eat meat and drink more than twenty or thirty people...
If Cao Cao was strong now, he might not be able to support these four people.
Seeing Xi Yu drinking and eating meat like this, Xi Zhicai and Xun You could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.
"Fengyi..."
A few years later, Xi Yu finally stopped competing with other civil servants for credit, but he didn't expect that all the generals would now obey him.
When the war was over and rewards were given for merit, the planning and food transportation still fell into the hands of Xi Yu.
Even the killings of a group of generals were attributed to his Xi Yu.
This really made it difficult for Xun You to balance his mind, but Xi Zhicai had already looked away.
"Zhicai, I have ordered you to invite Liu Bei to come for a meal. Why don't you see Xuande?"
Cao Cao suddenly asked.
At this time, Xi Yu immediately raised his head and replied: "Brother, you don't know something. Liu Bei has already run away. Haha, he finally got out of Xuchang, how can he run back again?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "How could Xuande be like this? He is General Zuo of the Han Dynasty. I have asked the emperor to summon him. Now is the time when I am asking for merit and reward, and when I have gained fame in the world, how can I run away?"
p>
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "My lord, Fengyi, after all, Uncle Liu is the general of the Han Dynasty. We can't use force, but I have sent someone to invite Uncle Liu. Don't worry..."
"Report!"
Suddenly, a panicked cavalryman ran out of the tent, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Uncle Liu Huang's camp is empty, and he has gone missing!"
"What?!"
Cao Cao stood up suddenly, in disbelief.
"Is he really willing to leave behind such a great reward? Doesn't he want to help the Han Dynasty? Is it possible that he really ran away?"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xi Yu immediately looked at his brother, "Brother, what did you just say to me?"
"This..." Xi Zhicai's mouth suddenly twitched.
Xi Zhicai just wanted to say that he could rest assured that Liu Bei would never run away.
Nowadays, no one knows that Liu Bei taught the Han Dynasty that the world was his responsibility, and that was the foundation for him to settle down and establish his life.
Who would have thought that Liu Bei would actually run away, but now that the words were on his lips, Xi Zhicai could only swallow them back.
"He actually ran away?! I didn't expect Liu Xuande to be so despicable!"
Xi Yu suddenly laughed and said, "I had already concluded that Liu Bei was not worthy of reuse."
"Although I don't know how Liu Bei decided to leave, I conclude that someone in Xuchang must be helping him in this matter."
"..."
Cao Cao glanced at Xi Yu faintly.
Although it was inconvenient to say anything at this time, I still couldn't help but wonder, "Liu Bei really has ambitions for hegemony?"
"Of course." Xi Yu said with certainty.
Cao Cao's face darkened, he thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Even if he has ambitions for dominance, it doesn't matter..."
"The war was urgent at first, and I had no one available for the moment. His second and third brothers were in charge of Xiaopei's troops. If the imperial court ordered it, they might not send troops with all their heart."
"However, even if he wants to run away, there is nowhere to go."
"Haha..."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang, who was in the second-to-last seat, suddenly spoke softly, but smiled and said nothing.
Originally, he was supposed to sit at the end of the table, but for some unknown reason, Jia Xu insisted on sitting at the end of the table.
