Chapter 263 Jushu and Guo Tu

Liu Bei put down his pen in confusion and quickly ran to the commander's tent.

In the handsome tent, Yuan Shao knelt and sat at the head of the room, his face so gloomy that he could shed water.

Many generals and counselors were confused, but they did not dare to ask more questions.

It was fine before.

Everyone also celebrated and drank some wine.

What's wrong with this?
It was not until Jushu and Xun Chen arrived that Yuan Shao threw a letter in front of Xun Chen.

Xun Chen took the letter and opened it.

His face was full of shock.

This letter was written by Xu You's son to Xu You.

The content inside is very simple: Jiangdong's army is approaching Ye City!

Xun Chen handed the letter to Jushou and said to many generals and counselors: "This is a letter written by Xu You's son to Xu You. Jiangdong's army has already arrived at Yecheng."

The entire handsome tent suddenly exploded.

"how is this possible!"

"How is it possible that Jiangdong's army is approaching Ye City?"

"Did they come from the plains? Where are the defenders of the plains? Aren't there [-] defenders of the plains?"

Liu Bei's face was also pale.

The commander-in-chief of the [-] defenders in the plain is his second brother Guan Yu!
The lieutenant is the third brother Zhang Fei!
No wonder I had a nightmare just now.

Could it be that something happened to the second brother?

Before he could recover, he saw Yuan Shao slapping the case hard and yelling angrily: "Liu Xuande, what do you have to say? The commander of Pingyuan was recommended by you. He is your second brother, and the deputy general is your third brother."

"You said that they have been fighting with you all year round, they have rich combat experience, and they are enemies of thousands of people!"

"Is this the answer they gave me?"

Other generals and counselors looked at Liu Bei angrily.

Liu Bei looked at Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You and others, faced their angry gazes, and swallowed.

He felt a chill in his heart.

During this time, I interacted with them so seriously.

I thought that they began to slowly accept me.

Now that something happened, they wanted to draw their swords against each other!
Liu Bei suppressed his grief and anger, turned to look at Yuan Shao, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Yuan, what's going on in Pingyuan? Nothing has been decided yet. Are you going to treat me like this?"

"Since we three brothers came to Yecheng and followed Duke Yuan, when have we not worked conscientiously? When have we not fought for the best?"

"Now, everything has not yet been decided. Mr. Yuan, are you going to criticize me so harshly?"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Bei.

In the end, he didn't have a seizure.

have to.

Wait!
Now the person guarding Yecheng is Shen Pei.

If such a big thing happens, he will definitely report the news as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, not long after waiting, a soldier's voice sounded outside: "Report, there is urgent information from Yecheng!"

Yuan Shao said sharply: "Come in!"

A soldier walked in quickly with a letter in his hands.

Xun Chen snatched it away, tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and handed it to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao opened it, and his originally gloomy face became even more furious at this moment.

Smashing the letter into the face of Liu Bei in front of him, Yuan Shao roared: "Liu Bei!"

Liu Bei was so frightened by Yuan Shao's actions that his liver and gallbladder trembled.

However, he still lowered his head, picked up the letter, opened it, and glanced at it quickly.

His hands were shaking slightly and his lips were trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Jushou on the side quickly stepped forward, grabbed the letter, and read as he read: "Pingyuan guard Guan Yu died in battle, and deputy general Zhang Fei fled back to report that the [-] defenders were either killed in battle or captured, and the enemy army Five thousand cavalry troops are approaching the city, and tens of thousands of troops are about to attack."

"Of course, my lord, please don't worry too much."

"On this occasion, we should unite with Ma Chao and other princes in Guanzhong to attack Cao Cao and attack Xudu directly."

"I will do my best to defend this place in Yecheng."

"."

All the generals and counselors looked at Liu Bei angrily again.

"I told you earlier, these three brothers are useless!"

"How could an army of [-] men guarding a small town like Pingyuan be captured so easily?"

"Now the enemy troops are approaching Ye City. It is extremely dangerous. It is all Liu Bei's fault! Kill him to set a warning to others!"

Yuan Shao looked at Liu Bei with squinted eyes, suppressing his anger, and said word by word: "Liu Xuande, what else do you have to say?"

Jushou also finished reading, and at this moment, he also looked at Liu Bei.

Although Yecheng is in danger.

However, he still fully agreed with Shen Pei's remarks.

It's better to wait now.

Waiting to join up with Ma Chao, flank Cao Cao, and decide the world in one battle.

Liu Bei looked around and saw that no one spoke for him. When he thought of Guan Yu's death in battle, he immediately shed tears.

No wonder I have nightmares.

No wonder the second brother said that he could no longer follow him.

That's it!

That's it!

Thinking of the sympathetic and pitiful expression of his second brother in the dream, Liu Bei raised his head and sighed: "I think that I, Liu Bei, have abandoned my wife and children all my life in order to make contributions. Even if my old mother died of illness, I still couldn't bear to go back."

"I didn't expect that it would end like this."

"Even my second brother was killed by me."

"I am so loyal, and everyone in the civil and military dynasties wants to kill me, just because I am not a descendant of a noble family, and you don't regard me as one of your own." Liu Bei wiped his tears with both hands and choked up: "I, Liu Bei, , so lonely!"

Taking off his helmet and looking at Yuan Shao, Liu Bei crawled in the tunnel and said: "Mr. Yuan, I have nothing to say."

"I, Liu Bei, my second brother, and my third brother did not surrender, but died on the battlefield to protect Mr. Yuan's family property."

"Since the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty still cannot tolerate us."

"Since Mr. Yuan can't tolerate the defeated general."

"Please behead me!"

Guo Tu, one of Yuan Shao's counselors and one of the leaders of Yuzhou faction, was from Yingchuan and the same clan as Guo Jia.

At this moment, he stood up and said sarcastically: "Mr. Yuan, even though Liu Bei tried his best to quibble, he can't hide the fact that he deserves to die! Think about why he changed hands several times!"

Yuan Shao's face was filled with murderous intent.

Jushou looked at Liu Bei lying on the ground and sighed.

He has always disliked Liu Bei.

This Liu Bei's purpose is too obvious.

As soon as he arrived in Yecheng, he kept trying to establish a good relationship with himself, Tian Feng and others, and even mentioned his identity as a nobleman of the Han Dynasty.

In Hebei today, who recognizes the royal family and nobles?
How did Jizhou come about?
You, Liu Bei, probably don’t even know.

It was taken from the hands of your royal family and nobles!

In Hebei, which noble family is not a descendant of the Yuan family?

The previous disapproval of Yuan Gong proclaiming the emperor was just because the time was not mature yet, rather than really disapproving of him proclaiming the emperor.

But you can’t see the current situation clearly!

But at this moment, looking at Liu Bei's desolate situation, Jushou still stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Mr. Yuan, it is indeed a great crime to lose the plain. However, Liu Xuande's second brother Guan Yunchang did not settle down, but chose to die in battle, and even sent The deputy general returned to Yecheng urgently to report, which can be regarded as showing his loyalty."

"As for Liu Xuande, he has been working hard during this period."

"If we kill him just because of defeat, who will dare to lead the army alone in the future?"

"I hope Mr. Yuan will give up."

Liu Bei raised his head and glanced at Ju Shou with tearful eyes.

When the generals and counselors saw Jushu speaking, they stopped mocking him.

Although Yuan Shao was filled with hatred, Ju Shou's words were not unreasonable.

In any case, Guan Yu did not surrender or escape, but died in battle.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao sternly said to Liu Bei: "Liu Xuande, I will remember you for today, and fight hard in the future to make up for your mistakes. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Liu Bei said in a trembling voice: "Thank you Mr. Yuan for not killing me."

After speaking, he stood up, retreated to a corner, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Yuan Shao glanced at Liu Bei in the corner with disgust, and then said to the others: "Now tell me, how to deal with the current situation? Now that Yecheng has been attacked, it is extremely dangerous."

"Yecheng is where our foundation lies."

"If the city is destroyed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ju Shou said: "Mr. Yuan, Shen Pei made it very clear in his letter just now!"

"Yecheng is indeed dangerous, but he has the ability to defend Yecheng."

"Now, what we should do more is wait for the princes such as Ma Chao in Guanzhong to gather together, attack Cao Cao from a flank, and take Xudu directly."

"As long as we destroy Cao Cao, capture Xudu, and then attack Xuzhou, we will be able to resolve the crisis in Ye City."

"Furthermore, according to my speculation, Jiangdong's army raided the plains and came to the gates of Yecheng. It is absolutely impossible to be a life-or-death battle."

"Jiangdong has only been recuperating for a year, how can he possibly increase his strength and attack us with all his strength?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"It is very likely that their move was just to get the news that Ma Chao and other heroes in Guanzhong wanted to attack Cao Cao together, and then surrounded Wei to save Zhao."

"Once we stop attacking or even withdraw to Yecheng, Cao Cao will be able to breathe."

"even--"

Jushou's face was extremely ugly and he said: "When we retreat to Yecheng, Cao Cao may take the opportunity to attack the Guanzhong princes such as Ma Chao who are coming from the west."

"Ma Chao and other princes in Guanzhong are indeed powerful, but I personally believe that they are no match for Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao has many tricks and tricks, and he has many good generals and counselors, which are not comparable to those of Ma Chao and other heroes in Guanzhong."

"Those people are strong if they are strong, but they have no advisers to advise them."

"Moreover, Jiangdong also deployed heavy troops in Wancheng, Jingzhou."

"Ten thousand steps back, Cao Cao can't defeat Ma Chao and other heroes in Guanzhong. The Jiangdong heavy troops in Wancheng will never stand idly by."

"Once Ma Chao and other heroes in Guanzhong encounter the two armies and are defeated, we will no longer have the chance to attack together and move south."

"This is a rare opportunity to join forces with Ma Chao and other heroes from Guanzhong to flank Cao Cao, and it is likely to be the only time."

"Therefore, I think that I have no other ideas. I will hand over Yecheng to Shenpei and them. We will continue to attack and wait for Ma Chao and other heroes in Guanzhong to attack from a flank."

Yuan Shao nodded, looked at the others and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Guo Tu hurriedly stood up and said: "No! Absolutely not!"

Jushou scolded: "Guo Gongze!"

Guo Tu snorted coldly and said: "Why, is this what you say? They are all the lord's advisers. Can you say it? I can't?"

Looking at Yuan Shao, Guo Tu said: "My lord, I think that if we don't go back now, once the city is destroyed, we will be doomed!"

"I have always been cautious when selecting this person."

"He said there were only tens of thousands of enemy troops, so there were probably hundreds of thousands."

"How can he defend against so many enemy troops?"

"Moreover, our Hebei family has a great cause and a strong army."

"This return of reinforcements did let Cao Cao off. However, even if we return to assist Yecheng, repel the Jiangdong defenders, and then regroup, Cao Cao will not be able to defeat us."

"We have been fighting for so long this time. Do the so-called Cao Cao and Jiangdong coalition forces have the power to fight back?"

Looking at Ju Shou, Guo Tu sneered and said: "Ju Gong said that Cao Cao is very powerful. I wonder if Ju Gong has a personal relationship with Cao Cao? Otherwise, if Cao Cao is such a waste, why would he be so optimistic about him?"

Jushou scolded in a deep voice: "Guo Tu!"

Guo Tu chuckled, turned to look at Yuan Shao and said: "Mr. Yuan, I am still saying what I said, Yecheng is everything to us. If Yecheng is gone, we will be finished. However, Cao Cao is just a clown, and we You can destroy it at any time by raising your hands. In order to destroy a clown, Ye City was attacked. How will this crime be recorded in the history books in the future? Mr. Yuan, please consider for yourself!"
