The middle-aged man, dressed in a blue shirt, sat cross-legged on the steps in front of the door, looking at the drizzle outside in a daze.

This middle-aged man was Liu Bei. After losing Xuzhou, he fled with the remaining army. Finally, on Chen Gong's suggestion, he came to Jingzhou and defected to Liu Biao.

Historically, Liu Bei took refuge in Yuan Shao and hoped to rely on Yuan Shao's power to fight against Cao Cao. However, in today's time and space, Yuan Shao falsely claimed to be emperor, which greatly reduced the dignity of the Han Dynasty and became a public outrage. Liu Bei, as the emperor of the day, personally recognized him.

The emperor's uncle will never vote for him again.

In the past, when Xiapi was defeated, Liu Bei was not only separated from his first and second brothers, but also unfortunately separated from Zhang Fei during the escape. In the end, he only brought Chen Gong and a few others to Liu Biao in Jingzhou to seek help from him.

Containment.

Liu Biao was quite happy about Liu Bei's arrival. Although Cao Cao was dealing with Yuan Shao in the north and had no time to visit the south, Sun Jian from Jiangdong was eyeing Jingzhou. Sun Jian led his army to conquer Jiangxia last year. Jiangxia is surrounded by Xiakou, Hanyang, and Wu

Lin and other places also fell into his hands. However, faced with such achievements, Sun Jian was still not satisfied. He continued to prepare his troops all day long, hoping that he might attack at any time.

Now that Liu Bei is here, he can at least play some role in the battle against Sun Jian.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not follow Liu Bei, which made Liu Biao feel a little regretful, Liu Bei's own combat ability is not weak, and there are wise men like Chen Gong accompanying him. If he and Sun Jian were allowed to fight, Liu Biao would be able to do something for Liu Biao.

Get some opportunities in Xiangyang.

So Liu Biao ordered Liu Bei to lead 10,000 troops and station them in Mianyang to guard against Sun Jian's invasion.

Mianyang and Jiangxia are very close to each other. If the army sets out from Jiangxia and rushes faster, it is estimated that it can reach Mianyang City in three days. Liu Bei himself also knew that Liu Biao was using him as a pawn. But who

What else can you do if you ask yourself to live under someone else's roof?

Humph, you, Liu Jingsheng, have such bad intentions. If you really push me into a hurry, at worst, when Sun Jian advances westward, I will turn over to him and counterattack Jingzhou for him!

Although Liu Bei and Liu Biao were both members of the Han clan, they did not have a deep friendship with each other. At this time, Liu Biao purely regarded Liu Bei as cannon fodder, so it was impossible for Liu Bei not to have any complaints in his heart.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei and Sun Jian were old acquaintances. They had known each other as early as when they were conquering the Yellow Turbans, and later they had a friendship of marching together to pursue the enemy when they conquered Dong.

If you are really desperate, following Sun Jian might be a good choice.

But was he destined to be dependent on others in his life? As he thought about it, Liu Bei suddenly felt a little discouraged and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

I don’t know what is happening to the second brother and the third brother. The second brother held off tens of thousands of Cao’s troops with hundreds of troops and horses, so he must have been martyred long ago. The third brother was separated in the rebellious army, and I don’t know where he is at this time.

With his mind racing wildly, Liu Bei suddenly turned his attention to the north. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao should go to war. He didn't know how the world situation would change after this battle.

———————————————————————————————— Floating clouds cover the sun, the wind howls, what a chilling battlefield.

The two armies of Yuan and Cao were arrayed in Guandu, facing each other from a distance.

Yuan Shao gathered a total of 170,000 troops this time, and the momentum was so huge that when viewed from a distance, it looked like a vast black ocean, endless.

There were 300,000 soldiers in Hebei, but 80,000 were lost in the two battles of Baima and Yanjin. Of the more than 200,000 troops left, Yuan Shao wanted to keep at least 50,000 at the border of the northern border to guard against the Xianbei, Xiongnu and other barbarians in the north.

Gongsundu in Liaodong made some changes. Therefore, this 170,000-strong army was the largest military force Yuan Shao could mobilize. It could be said that they came out in full force.

Although Cao Cao could provide a lot of troops, with Ma Teng in the west and Liu Biao and Sun Jian in the south, it was impossible for him to take away all the defense forces, so the number of troops mobilized to the Guandu front line was 70,000.

Seventy thousand versus one hundred and seventy thousand, the situation is extremely dangerous. What's more, Yuan Shao personally takes action, which is not as easy to deal with as Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is not careful, he may fall into an irreversible situation.

Both sides have already made preparations, and now they are gearing up and the war is imminent.

"Mengde, you're all right. Today, the lonely army is here. Why don't you surrender early and not lose your position as a lord?" Before the war started, the coaches of both sides still had to argue as usual. Yuan Shao was the first to speak.

Said to Cao Cao.

"What I said at the beginning was wrong. I am sending troops this time to obey the emperor's edict. Your act of proclaiming the emperor is really perverse. Today I accept the emperor's order to conquer. If you don't dismount and accept surrender, what else do you want to do?" Cao Cao

Naturally not to be outdone, he fought back with his lips and tongue.

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face was gloomy. Cao Cao was the emperor and the emperor, and he clung to his rightful status, which made him really panic.

If I had known this, I should have rushed to Luoyang before Cao Cao and controlled the emperor in my hands. But now, it is too late to regret!

"My army is several times larger than yours. This is a battle that must be won. Why do you bother to resist and lose the lives of your soldiers?"

"In the past few days, the troops led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou were not more than ours. How do you care about their safety today?"

Swearing before the battle is also a technical job, and a slightly incorrect answer may have an impact on morale.

"Chun Yuqiong, lead your troops to attack!" Yuan Shao saw that he could not win the upper hand with his words, so he gave the order to attack to his general Chunyu Qiong.

When the two armies approach the battle, they do not necessarily put all their troops into battle at once. Sometimes, the two sides fight one by one first. As time goes by, more and more troops are waiting to enter the battlefield. This

Only then did a fierce battle gradually develop on a huge scale.

However, although Yuan Shao only sent Chunyu Qiong's troops to attack at this moment, his troops had 20,000 people. One of his troops alone was worth one-third of Cao's army.

"Zilong goes to the enemy." Cao Cao also gave instructions, ordering Zhao Yun to go and confront Chunyu Qiong.

Zhao Yun took the order and led his troops out into battle.

The number of Zhao Yun's troops is 8,000, only 40% of Chunyu Qiong's. Although it is disadvantageous to attack more with less, there is nothing we can do about it. Who knows that the total number of Cao's army is much less than that of Yuan's army? If we send out Chunyu Qiong and Chun Yuqiong now

A considerable number of troops went out to fight. When Yuan's army pressed forward in a massive way, how should he deal with it?

Chunyu Qiong obviously did not take the army in front of him seriously. In any case, the number of people was too small. Although his army was not an elite division, it was by no means an ordinary army. With only a few thousand

It is nonsense for human troops to defeat their own troops.

"The head of the enemy's army is your military merit!" Chunyu Qiong raised his spear high and shouted loudly.

It has to be said that Chunyu Qiong's roar was very accurate. At least all of his soldiers were very motivated to fight at this time, and they fought bravely forward with the intention of making meritorious deeds.
