The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 279 Tangled Liu Bei

Yan Liang led [-] cavalry in pursuit of Xu Chu, but fortunately Cao Bin led [-] troops to meet him and set up an ambush in advance.The two hundred cavalry had dozens of casualties, but Xu Chu was also shot and wounded. Yan Liang led the army back, and Cao Bin was also worried that Yuan Jun would respond and did not pursue.

"Thank you, General, for saving your life!" Xu Chu thanked Cao Bin, covering the arrow wound on his shoulder.

Cao Bin waved his hand, his face darkened, and said, "Although you have made great achievements in raiding Yuan Shao's camp, why do you not retreat from the battle?"

Xu Chu bowed his hands and apologized: "The general knows his mistake. That Wen Chou led the cavalry to chase our army. I had most of the infantry, so I stayed behind. Yan Liang and Wen Chou joined forces to fight me, but Wen Chou was also shot in the shoulder by me. , I think it will take several months to recuperate!"

Cao Bin was overjoyed and said in surprise: "Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the generals of Hebei. The general has one against two, but he still seriously injured Wen Chou. He is really brave. Wen Chou was seriously injured, and Yuan Shaoru lost his arm, so our pressure will be reduced a lot!"

The thousands of soldiers behind him looked at Xu Chu with burning eyes, full of admiration.Yan Liang and Wen Chou are generals in Hebei Province, and they have been famous for a long time. Xu Chu was able to injure Wen Chou with one enemy and two, and escaped from birth. This strength shows that neither Yan Liang nor Wen Chou is his opponent.

"Now that the sky is getting brighter, and the scouts came to report earlier, the lord sent [-] more soldiers here, including Xi Zhicai and two military advisers from Chen Gong, let's go back quickly and discuss the strategy against the enemy!" Cao Bin praised Xu Chu ordered to retreat again.

Three thousand soldiers and horses retreated, morale was high, Xu Chu night robbed Yuan's camp, killed hundreds of enemies, burned countless tents, and injured General Wen Chou.

On the second day, Yu Jin and others led [-] troops from Xi Zhicai to Lu County to meet up, and the [-] troops merged. There were generals Cao Bin, Cao Ren, Xu Chu, Yu Jin Li Dian, and two military advisers, Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong.

It was the rainy season at this time, and the weather was changeable, but it was said that after Yuan Shao's grain and grass arrived at the camp, it began to rain, and the rain showed no sign of stopping for several days.Because of the rain, the two armies did not move rashly for the time being.But the longer it dragged on, it was not good for Zhao Kuangyin's side. Although Yuan Shao was going on an expedition, he had Jizhou as his backing, while Zhao Kuangyin only had the dilapidated Yanzhou, and it was difficult for him to sustain a long-term battle.

Yuan Shao planned to send troops to attack when the weather cleared up, while Zhao Kuangyin's generals in Lu County were also planning a big battle.As long as the heavy rain stops, the winner will be determined.

The weather in Youzhou, which is thousands of miles away, is completely different. Yanzhou is constantly raining, while Youzhou is sunny, right in the prefect's mansion of Beiping.

It has been more than a few days since Gongsun Zan was injured in the ambush and returned to You Beiping, but as soon as Gongsun Zan returned to Beiping, Di Qing and Pan Feng withdrew after receiving the news. Obviously, he had no intention of confronting Gongsun Zan head-on.

Gongsun Zan was lying on the bed with a bandage around his waist, with red blood oozing faintly.

"Xuande, has Pan Feng withdrew his troops?" Gongsun Zan was lying on the couch, slightly weak, and asked Liu Bei who was in armor in front of the couch.

"Bogui handed over the soldiers and horses to me for temporary command. As soon as I lead the army out, they withdrew after they got the news!" Liu Bei nodded.

Gongsun Zan forced a smile: "Thanks for Xuande's hard work, but I hate that Liu Yu colluded with Yuan Shao and ruined my great affairs! Cough cough!"

As soon as Yuan Shao got angry, he pulled the wound, coughed continuously, and his face was flushed.On the one hand, the doctor hurriedly stepped forward to treat and persuade: "General, the arrow wound is serious, and it has already hurt the vitals. It needs to rest for several months, let alone get angry. You must rest!"

Liu Bei took a wooden box from behind Guan Yu, bowed and said, "Brother Bogui, this is your general seal. Now that Pan Feng is retreating, the talisman will return to its original owner!"

"Ahem, I will keep this thing in your custody for the time being. Now I have [-] soldiers and horses left under my command. If I fall ill, then Liu Yu may take advantage of it at some point. Others are not capable and have no prestige. , only Xuande can take on this great task, so I will trouble Xuande to rectify military affairs during this period!" Gongsun Zan waved his hand, but did not take back the military amulet.

"How can Bei be able to take on this great task?" Liu Bei refused.

"Xuande's loyalty, benevolence and righteousness is none other than you!" Gongsun Zan affirmed.

"Since this is the case, we must live up to Brother Bogui's entrustment!"

"All of you have followed Xuande's command during this time, and if there is a major issue, you should first speak to me and make a decision!" Gongsun Zan ordered with a pale face.

Now Gongsun Zan has only his sons Gongsun Xu, Zou Dan, Guan Jing, Tian Kai, and Shan Jing under his command.It's a pity that after the battle with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan realized that these people were mediocre talents, so he handed over the power to Liu Bei who had repeatedly offered advice during the search.And Liu Bei also has two Guan and Zhang available.

It wasn't that Gongsun Zan trusted Liu Bei. On the contrary, Gongsun Zan was aware of Liu Bei's ambitions, but now he had no one under his command, and Gongsun Zan himself was seriously injured. If he was dealing with a major event, he might die.Handing over the power to others will make chaos more likely.

And Liu Bei's performance is even more benevolent, which is Liu Bei's weakness. Although he wants to get Youzhou, it is impossible for Liu Bei to take it.Gongsun Zan took advantage of this, using Liu Bei's character and Liu Guanzhang's ability.

The people under Gongsun Zan's command were all honest people, and his son, Gongsun Xu, was also an honest man who only listened to Gongsun Zan's words.Liu Bei's loyal image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they followed Gongsun Zan's words, and Liu Bei presided over the overall situation during Gongsun Zan's recuperation period.

Time passed quietly, and a few days later, it was still raining in the east county of Yanzhou, and Liu Bei was processing official documents at the Governor's Mansion, when Chief Shi Guanjing came in with a letter in hand.

"Mr. Xuande, urgent report from Jizhou!" Guan Jing handed the letter to Liu Bei.

"Urgent report from Jizhou? Yuan Shao's army confronted Yanzhou and was unable to invade Youzhou. What urgent report can there be?" Liu Bei took the letter calmly and smiled.

"Ju Yi? Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin confronted each other in the east county of Yanzhou. The rain continued, so I'm afraid it will last for a long time. I defeated the Duke of Ming, and I have the credit for turning against the enemy. Yuan Shao fears that my merits will be high, and he has the heart to plot against me." !"

"In the battle on the battlefield, each is the master. I defeated the general because I was loyal, but Yuan Shao hurt my heart, but it was unrighteous. Now that Yuan Shao's soldiers are all in Yanzhou, I would like to lead the general into Jizhou and regain the lost land of Jizhou. The general is the master of understanding, and he will not miss this opportunity!"

Liu Bei looked at the letter and read out the content on it.

"What, Ju Yi wants to lead the Lord into Jizhou? This..." Guan Jing was shocked when he heard this.

Liu Bei threw the letter away, and said with a smile: "Ju Yi is a capricious villain. First, he turned his back and gave Han Fu's Jizhou to Yuan Shao, and now he wants to give Yuan Shao's Jizhou to Brother Bogui? There must be bombs, don't worry about it." Just figure it out!"

"But if he really has his heart, he might miss this opportunity?" Guan Jing worried.

"He defeated the general, and he had a blood feud with Youzhou soldiers. How could he take refuge in the general? Brother Bogui needs to rest now. This is obviously a conspiracy. You must not tell brother Bogui, otherwise he will definitely send troops in person. I'm afraid at that time ..." Liu Bei reminded Guan Jing.

"Yes, Lord Xuande!" Guan Jing cupped his hands and walked out of the room. He didn't want to inform Gongsun Zan, but then he thought: "If it is really a good opportunity, wouldn't Jizhou be missed in vain? Lord Xuande is kind-hearted and talented. I Then go and report to the Lord, if the Lord wants to go out in person, I will recommend Duke Xuande to take Jizhou!"

Guan Jing went to the backyard and went to inform Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly called Liu Bei to condemn him, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big event, you almost missed the opportunity?"

"Brother Bogui, forgive me, that Ju Yi is capricious. He must not have sincerely served you. There must be fraud in it, and now you need to rest, so you conceal it!" Liu Bian quickly explained.

Gongsun Zan said with a smile: "Xuande has a heart, I know this is Ju Yi's conspiracy, but I can also use my plan and kill Ju Yi to avenge the tens of thousands of Youzhou sons I killed in battle!"

Liu Bei hurriedly cupped his hands to persuade him: "We have been fighting for years, and now the general's soldiers, Si'an, still need to recuperate, but the soldiers and horses are strong, and it is not too late to take revenge!"

"Soldiers are eager for revenge, so how can they be tired of fighting?" Gongsun Zan asked with a smile.

"I've made up my mind, no need to say more. Tomorrow, ten thousand troops will be mobilized, Guan Yu will be left behind, Guan Jing will guard Beiping, and the rest will follow me!" Gongsun Zan ordered.

"My lord, you are in poor health now, why don't you let Duke Xuande lead the army!" Guan Jing immediately persuaded Gongsun Zan to send troops in person.

"Although Xuande is good, he lacks prestige. I am afraid that soldiers and horses will not listen to him. I wanted Xuande to sit in Beiping, but there was no one around me to use, so I had to take Xuande and Yide to the expedition! With Xuande to help me, you can do it." Don't worry!" Gongsun Zan looked at Guan Jing and waved his hands.

Guan Jing took a look at Gongsun Zan's complexion, and it turned out to be much ruddy. The doctor said that the wound had scabbed over. It must be that the lord is in good health and recovering quickly, so there shouldn't be any serious problems.Seeing this, Guan Jing felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

Seeing Gongsun Zan's insistence on this, Liu Bei's eyes changed for a while, he didn't know whether it was joy, worry or sadness.

In terms of staying behind, Gongsun Zan left Guan Yu to garrison, and sent the old loyal minister Guan Jing to garrison, obviously to guard against Liu Bei, and deliberately separated the three brothers.

But Gongsun Zan insisted on going to war, firstly to avenge Ju Yi's death, and the two were worried that if Ju Yi really surrendered, if Liu Bei were to go, they feared that he would make meritorious deeds on his own, and they would not be able to suppress him.Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei have their own concerns, but now that Gongsun Zan has given orders, Liu Bei has no choice but to surrender.
