Overlord!

Chapter 147 Invite Xuzhou fierce generals to assist in the battle under the tent of Marquis Wu
From Huaiyin to Haixi, you only need to go down the Huaihe River. Although the speed of the Huaihe River is not as exaggerated as that of the Yangtze River, "the sound of apes on both sides of the bank can't be heard, and the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains", but from Huaiyin County to Haixi County next door. Times of Day.

To be reasonable, at this speed, at the moment when the horses and chariots are slow, this speed can already be called super fast.It is impossible to compare the situation of other princes with the ability to negotiate strategically and horizontally within one day.It is no wonder that military strategists have paid great attention to river and water transportation since ancient times.

Shiyi was moved and arrived at Liu Bei's army camp.His camp is easy to find, just south of the city of Haixi County and north of the Huaihe River.

Haixi County has no defenses, and Liu Bei led [-] routs, and he can easily control the city.

It's just that the hundreds of shi of grain in the middle of the city can only support the expenses of the defeated soldiers for two or three days.

It has been almost ten days since Liu Bei was defeated.Even if there was still food and grass in the military camp before, it had already been completely exhausted, and the sergeants and officers in the camp had begun to eat each other.

When Shiyi arrived, the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army were all starving.

But to Shiyi's amazement, even so, these soldiers didn't think of eating the passing scholars.

They just stopped Shi Yi and asked her intentions vigilantly.When they heard that he was an old friend of Liu Shijun, they escorted him into the barracks.

At this time, the Xuzhou army in the barracks had been lying all over the camp. They were hungry and confused, and they were exhausted.

Only Liu Bei's personal guards are still in good spirits, loyally surrounding Liu Bei's camp.

When Shi Yi walked into the camp, an eight-foot-tall, strong and awe-inspiring general, holding a long knife in his hand, stared at him fiercely with tiger eyes.

The murderous look in the tiger's eyes made Shi Yi, a talented and arrogant scholar, feel cold on his back, and couldn't help but marvel, Liu Bei's command is really a gathering of heroes, such a fierce general, even in the Jiangdong army is not common.

After Shi Yi walked into the camp, she immediately bowed her hands to Liu Bei and said, "Commander of the General's Mansion, Beihai Yingling, I pay my respects to Mr. Liu."

It was Yi's words that made all the civil and military generals in the camp look sideways, and they were quite fond of it.

Mr. Liu!In other words, the other party still recognized his lord as the governor of Xuzhou.

Liu Bei's family knew about his own family affairs. He was acting as the leader of Xuzhou, and his reputation was not right. Therefore, a large number of county magistrates and military generals in Xuzhou did not recognize it.

Outside of Xuzhou, a large number of princes and aristocratic families did not recognize his title of Liu Bei Xuzhou governor.

It's not just that Yuan Shu has never heard of Liu Bei in his life.Many nobles in the Central Plains had never heard of Liu Bei's reputation, so why did he suddenly become the governor of Xuzhou when he was a warrior from the frontier?

Now Jiangdong still regards Liu Bei as the governor of Xuzhou. In the case of Liu Bei's defeat, it is of great significance to help his reputation, cohesive people's hearts, and even regain Xuzhou's confidence.

Liu Bei was sitting on the main seat. He looked tired, but his spirit was still vigorous. He said to Shiyi calmly, "You are from Beihai, but Confucius is your old friend?"

Shiyi was quite surprised. Before he came, he had always thought that Liu Bei, who had lost his foundation and was defeated and embarrassed, would inevitably lose ground. He even had bloodshot eyes and was hysterical, trying to grasp all the straws to save the entire army.

Unexpectedly, although the other party looked exhausted, his demeanor was still outstanding, which made people feel at ease when they saw him.It can't be seen at all that he has any anxiety, and his emotions are completely invisible.

This is completely different from Sun Ce, the lord of Jiangdong.

Sun Ce likes to talk and talk to people with a smile, and he always talks humorously, teasing and joking.So people like Yu Fan and Zhou Yu gathered around him.But the scholars and the people, who see it, are willing to die with all their heart.

Liu Bei doesn't match his weak temperament at all. This is a heroic character.

Shiyi also admired his strength and determination, and immediately cupped his hands, saying: "A certain county was previously under the rule of Kong Guo in Beihai, but now he has served under the command of my lord, the rebellious general. This time, I have come here to serve you under the order of my lord." Liu Shijun relieved the difficulties."

It was Yi who took the initiative to end the friendship chat with the old friend, and Liu Bei sat behind the desk blankly, obviously not wanting to show too much enthusiasm.

In fact, Liu Bei himself is very talented, and he can see the sophistication of the world at a glance. Now that Jiang Dong came to negotiate on his own initiative, it proved that Jiang Dong was the one who was anxious. He was too eager and lost the opportunity.

Seeing Liu Bei's reaction, the general under his tent immediately opened his mouth and sternly reprimanded: "You Jiangdong attacked our counties, seized my cities, violated the situation and disturbed the people first, and now the matter is urgent, and you want to talk about solving difficulties. Arrogant and self righteous!"

The civil servants on the other side also echoed: "You Jiangdong generals have been arrogant and domineering for many years. The situation is urgent, but you finally remember to be kind to others?"

Shi Yi turned her head to look at this mighty general who sounded like a bell, and when she saw it, she took a deep breath.

I saw that the opponent was nearly nine feet tall, with a beautiful beard, majestic and mighty, he was simply a peerless warrior!

He Kuile is the tallest in Jiangdong, he is [-] feet [-] inches, and his great-grandfather He Xi is [-] feet [-] inches, so he is ranked among the generals of the chariot and cavalry of the great Han because of his majesty.

Such a nine-foot fierce general, Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this can be called a great general.

At this time, Liu Beicai lifted his eyelids slightly, and scolded: "Yun Chang, don't be rude. In the battlefield, the victory or defeat is up to the person. Now that the victory or defeat has been decided, let's hear why you are here."

Doesn't Liu Bei hate Jiangdong for attacking Guangling?

But he simply hates it to the bone, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others are all the same in his eyes!
If possible, he will lead the army to punish these violent, strong and unrighteous people.

It's just that he has already been fighting with Yuan Shu and Lu Bu to death, and he can no longer continue to fight against Sun Ce.He had to consider the lives of the [-] soldiers in the camp.

Facing Guan Yu's scolding like a fierce tiger, Shi Yi was not frightened, but facing Liu Bei's forbearance, this ambitious conspiracy, Shi Yi really felt a shock and horror.

Such a hero will never be beaten by others!
He finally knew why Lu Su planned to trap Liu Bei in Haixi.Haixi borders the East China Sea in the east, Donghai County in the north, and Huaiyin in the west. It can completely impoverish Liu Bei, a hero, so that he cannot display his talents, and he will be trapped here for the rest of his life.

Donghai County used to be the seat of Xuzhou, but Cao Cao slaughtered Donghai and Pengcheng for thousands of miles. If Liu Bei was trapped in Haixi, he could only use a county as his foundation, and he would not be able to achieve any development, no matter how talented he was , It is difficult to become a trend, and will eventually dissipate in the troubled times.

As long as Jiangdong gritted his teeth and persisted, provided him with food and grass, and then gradually decreased, the momentum would dissipate.

If you can use a little food and grass to completely wipe out a hero like Liu Bei in the troubled times, it can be said to be the best plan in the best plan!
And what a pity, Lu Su's strategy is far beyond ordinary people's vision.Even before I met Liu Bei, I couldn't understand it.The colleagues in Jiangdong are bound to have a lot of discussions.

If Liu Bei is released from Haixi, and advances westward to the Dongyang area, he will be so powerful that he will be uncontrollable.

No one knows how Liu Bei will develop in Dongyang.

After all, going west and north, there is a lot to do!How could Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's generation stop such a hero?How can he stop so many fierce generals under his command!

But Yi quickly adjusted her mentality. For a hero like Liu Bei, I am afraid that Lu Su may not be able to trap him in the land of Haixi.

It is true that Haixi cannot support Liu Bei's [-] army, but if he follows the example of the Jiangdong army station, the [-] army station, plus the tax of the people of a county, he can supply thousands of elites and endure for six or seven years. You can't take advantage of the chaos to revive, and even if it's not good, you can lead these thousands of elites to leave Haixi.Even if the flesh and blood come back to life, it may not be able to obliterate his ambition.

Therefore, Shiyi firmly carried out the previous mission and said: "My lord wants to present to the imperial court and General Liu as the governor of Xuzhou. At the same time, I would like to use the Huaihe River to transport five thousand stones of grain and grass to relieve Liu Shijun's current difficulties in the camp."

General Liu for a while, Shijun Liu for a while, it's not because Yi's preface doesn't match the latter.

Liu Bei's former governor of Xuzhou was not obtained by the imperial court, but was asked by Yuan Shao to entrust him with a feudal title, and Yuan Shao granted it to him.

In fact, none of the princes in the world today represented Liu Bei as the emperor, asking the court to make him the governor of Xuzhou.

Therefore, calling the general first and then the envoy is to show that he is willing to be the prince who represents him.

Moreover, Sun Ce's official position is the prefect of Kuaiji, so it is definitely inappropriate to call him Xuzhou Mu.But it is reasonable to list him as the governor of Xuzhou with six hundred shi.

The approval of the imperial court is really crucial.For example, Tao Qian and Lu Bu declared Liu Bei to be the governor of Yuzhou twice, but no one admitted it at all.It wasn't until Cao Cao made his appearance in Xudu and named Liu Bei the shepherd of Yuzhou that Liu Bei got the title of Liu Yuzhou.

So Jiang Dong is willing to express this point for him, and Liu Bei always shouts to help the Han Dynasty, so it is impossible to refuse.

His face was expressionless, but Guan Yu frowned, and asked, "Your Lord would be so kind? What's your plan for sending five thousand shi of grain?"

Shiyi said frankly: "The land of Huainan, my lord is sure to win. If Liu Shijun is willing to give up Haixi, my lord can give Liu Shijun another [-] shi of grain to help Liu Shijun move to the west of Huaiyin, and focus on Dongyang. Reorganize the army, defeat Yuan Shu and Lu Bu at that time, and regain Xuzhou is not impossible."

"[-] shi of grain!" There was an uproar in the tent.

If there is really [-] shi of grain, the plight of the [-] troops will be relieved.

At this time, Liu Bei was also moved. In fact, since the defeat, he has not been stuck in this corner of Haixi all the time.

Just like what Lu Su said, Haixi County is an isolated city. If there is no foreign aid, Liu Bei will be trapped and die here.

At that time, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu will march eastward and besieged by the army. Liu Bei will have no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside, and he will definitely collapse completely.

Chen Qun's suggestion to him was to beg for surrender from Lu Bu.

Lü Bu had newly acquired Xuzhou, and at this time he would definitely want to stabilize the territory and shake the prefectures and counties.

Nothing is more reassuring than the surrender of the former governor of Xuzhou to him.

Liu Bei has already surrendered, and those counties and counties that resisted, and those heroes who intend to rebel, can only die.

Begging to surrender to Lu Bu is Liu Bei's best choice if he wants to preserve his strength and prevent his entire army from being wiped out.

But Liu Bei was deeply ashamed. He was resolute and unyielding, how could he be willing to bow his head and beg for surrender to a repeated person like Lu Bu.

Now that Sun Ce is willing to provide him with food and grass, his ambition is revived immediately. As long as the logistics are safe, he may not be unable to defeat Lu Bu and regain Xuzhou Xiapi.

Seeing Liu Bei's intentions moved, Chen Qun, who was engaged in Biejia, hurriedly remonstrated, saying: "Your Majesty, you must not plan to drive tigers and wolves in the east of the Yangtze River. At this time, you should rest and recuperate to watch the quarrel in Xuzhou. Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others are fighting in Xuzhou, and they must not ignore each other in peace. To make the king look good, he should watch the provocation and act, and regain the hearts of Xuzhou. Instead of fighting for the momentary spirit at this time, take the initiative to get involved in the melee. Moreover At this moment, when we are fighting Yuan Shu and Lü Bu, what should the wife of your lord do?"

These words made everyone else in the tent look serious, but Liu Bei's wife is still with Lu Bu.

In particular, Mrs. Gan, the jade beauty, is quite virtuous and very popular.

Liu Bei was widowed many times in his early years, and the position of the main wife was vacant, so Mrs. Gan has always been in charge of housekeeping.

Now that he is captured by Lu Bu, it's fine if he's safe and sound.

Once he leads troops to fight with him, Mrs. Gan may inevitably be humiliated because of Lu Bu's broken military discipline and the brutality of his generals.

With Liu Bei's attitude, he couldn't help but twitch his brows with anger, but soon he became firm and said: "A man only suffers from fame but not a wife, so why not have a wife! Lv Bu took Xuzhou from me, and he was alone. And to revive and abolish the war? Please tell your lord that I am willing to raise troops westward to Dongyang, go north along Sishui, and recapture Xiapi!"

With Liu Bei's stamina, it is naturally impossible to be afraid of a woman.

But he only said this point, and did not mention the point Chen Qun said earlier, because he thought that what Chen Qun said was difficult to gain momentum.

At this time, stationing troops in one area and watching the quarrel in Xuzhou, what can we do?

Yanzhou has been occupied by Cao Cao, and Yuzhou is facing Yuan Shu and Cao Cao's battle, and Xuzhou is in chaos.

Now that he has lost the opportunity, where can he go to recuperate?

Even if he surrendered to Lu Bu and was resettled to Pei County, how could the narrow territory with few people support Liu Bei to compete with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others?
At this time, only by joining forces with Jiangdong, defeating the strong enemy in the north, and then competing for the prefectures of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, can he stand alongside Cao Cao and Sun Ce in the Jianghuai area.

Of course, this is just Liu Bei's excuse!

In the final analysis, with Liu Bei's stamina, with Liu Bei's heroism, he is ashamed to beg for surrender from Lu Bu!
It would be fine if there was no Sun Ce to join him. He was forced to forbear, and chose to beg for surrender from Lu Bu.

But if there is any way, Liu Bei must be unyielding and fight Lu Bu to the end!

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Yi was overjoyed, and the alliance was successfully concluded, so he began to discuss the specific details of the alliance with Liu Bei.

He said: "I, Jiangdong, sent a large amount of food and grass to Liu Shijun as sincerity. Should Liu Shijun also send troops to help us fight to show his alliance?"

It's not that Yiyi is trying to figure out the 2 people under Liu Bei's command.

It's an alliance battle, so you have to be a little sincere, right?
Not to mention electing a leader and commanding the coalition forces to fight.

At least you have to let Jiang Dong strengthen his confidence.Otherwise, Jiangdong would continue to provide him with food and grass for Liu Bei. What if he didn't use these food and grass to fight Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, but instead attacked Jiangdong?
And Liu Bei is now in a difficult situation, and there is nothing that Jiang Dong can care about.

That can only send an army over, as long as this army and generals are still in Jiangdong, Liu Bei can't ignore his life and easily betray the alliance.

Liu Bei has long been used to such things as borrowing soldiers and generals: "I can transfer a thousand pieces to Huaiyin to help Marquis Wu fight."

Shi Yi said resolutely at this time: "The trilogy Liu Shijun can decide on his own, but the general, I will ask the eight-foot fierce general who is guarding outside the tent."
