Liu Rui was overjoyed and couldn't help but said, "Good! Good! Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. I will pay you the market price for these herbs!"

The businessman waved his hands again and again: "Uncle, don't make fun of the grass-roots people. I still have some wealth in Xiliang, but compared to the lives of my fathers and villagers, what is this money..."

Liu Rui shook his head again and again, but despite Liu Rui's words, the other party refused to ask Liu Rui's money.In the end, the businessman led a group of people to leave in a hurry, wanting to go to various places for disaster relief as soon as possible.

After Liu Rui sent these people away, he couldn't help but sighed: "With such people and such cohesion, why should we worry about not being able to achieve great things?"

"My lord, although the incident in Gunzhou this time is heart-wrenching, it also shows us the hearts of the people under his command. From now on, no one will be able to shake our position!" Guo Jia also nodded frequently. .

You must know that this was a time of war, but Liu Rui was able to gain the support of so many people. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was what the people wanted.

After a pause, Guo Jia said again: "My lord, now it seems that it would take half a year to fully recover Gunzhou at the earliest, but with the help of [-] recruits and these rescue teams, I am afraid the most It only takes three months to complete it!"

"Alright! Alright!" Liu Rui also nodded his head, looking in the direction of Dongfang Qingzhou again, and said with a sneer: "Three months later, when we arrive at Dating in Gunzhou, we will bring an army of [-] to find Cao Mengde. At that time, I will ask him carefully to see what face he has to face the people of Gunzhou!"

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Guo Jia also looked into the distance, Gunzhou and Qingzhou were adjacent to each other, and this time, what happened in Gunzhou made everyone hate Cao Cao thoroughly.If it is not what Guo Jia expected, the next time Liu Rui raises troops again, then Cao Cao will definitely not be able to stop him!

895: Liu is hindered

Liu Rui's actions in Gunzhou are naturally hidden from the world.

The previous rumors were spread wildly in Soochow and Xuzhou. For a time, the whole world knew about Cao Cao's evil deeds.

At this moment, Liu Bei mentioned this to Pang Tong and Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, Shiyuan, and Cao Mengde have now lost Gunzhou. In the future, our Xuzhou will be exposed to Liu Rui's hands. Tell me, what should we do in the future?" Liu Bei asked worriedly.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong both shook their heads secretly. They had persuaded Liu Bei to send troops before, but Liu Bei used the excuse of insufficient troops as an excuse to reject their proposal.

Hearing Liu Bei's words now, Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, our troops and horses have been retrained, and now Liu Rui's army is being held back by Gongzhou, we might as well send troops to Jingzhou and take advantage of Jingzhou's emptiness to take advantage of it. Jingzhou is completely in the palm of your hand!"

"What Zhong Da said is very true. This is to besiege Wei to save Zhao. We don't need to attack Liu Rui, nor do we need to rescue Cao Cao. As long as we attack Jingzhou, we can solve the problem of Gunzhou!" Pang Tong nodded again and again.

Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Shi Yuan, Zhong Da, before Liu Rui attacked Gunzhou, he sent a group of troops to sneak into Yuzhou. Now that we are next to Xuzhou, if we go to attack Jingzhou, I am afraid they will take the opportunity to attack. Come in!"

Sima Yi and Pang Tong were both stunned for a moment. Pang Tong then asked, "My lord, are you talking about Li Jing's men?"

Liu Bei nodded, but Sima Yi, who was beside him, said in doubt, "Didn't you say that Li Jing has already gone to Jiangdong to fight with Sun Ce?"

However, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "On Jiangdong, it's Yue Fei under Liu Rui's command. The last time Li Jing swung a shot, I received the battle report today. This person is still hiding in Yuzhou, blocking us, always on guard. !"

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Pang Tong and Sima Yi both looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

After a while, Pang Tongcai pondered and said: "My lord, if you put it before, your subordinates will never let you send troops now, but now that Liu Rui's army is entangled in Gonzhou, we can just take the opportunity to swallow Li Jing's troops. Otherwise, we won't have any chance when Liu Rui's army escapes in the future!"

"Yes, my lord, now is our best chance. As long as we swallow Li Jing's troops, we will be able to take Jingzhou directly. As long as we take Jingzhou, we can take Yizhou with lightning speed. , at that time, with Jingzhou Yizhou Hanzhong in hand, great things can be accomplished!" Sima Yi on the side was also extremely excited.

Hearing what Pang Tong and Sima Yi said, Liu Bei couldn't help but get excited.Liu Bei couldn't help trembling when he thought of the beautiful picture they described.

You must know that Liu Rui now has an army of [-] people. In the past few days, every time in this dream, Liu Bei would dream that Xuzhou was broken by Liu Rui in one fell swoop, while Liu Bei was headed by the public and died extremely miserably. .

"Good! Good! What the two of you said is very true. Our current Xuzhou is no longer safe. Only Jingzhou and Yizhou can let us preserve our strength!" Liu Bei nodded heavily, then looked at the two again, and said: "I'll order it right away, let's go meet Li Jing for a while!"

After the three people's discussions were over, Liu Bei immediately dispatched his troops to prepare for departure.

It didn't take long for Liu Bei's army in Xuzhou to head towards Yuzhou.

In Yuzhou, Li Jing also kept an eye on the situation in Xuzhou. After receiving the news of Liu Bei sending troops, Li Jing immediately summoned many generals in the army.

"General Xu Chu, Liu Bei's army has already been dispatched. It seems that Liu Bei is not ready to shrink back this time!" Li Jing looked over with a smile, and then said with a smile: "After waiting for so long, we have to take care of ourselves. Let that Liu Bei taste our preparations!"

Xu Chu grinned and said in a timid voice, "General, I said earlier that we might as well attack Xuzhou directly and completely recover Xuzhou on behalf of the lord, you still keep us from moving, you have to wait here for that Liu Bei. !"

Li Jing shook his head, and then said: "Then Liu Bei has been operating in Xuzhou for many years, although he lost a lot of strength in Jingzhou last time, but the current situation is affecting the whole body. If we act rashly, I am afraid that we will inevitably get hit. The deployment of the chaotic master will probably be even more laborious in the future!"

After a pause, Li Jing said again: "This time Liu Bei is afraid that his master is being entangled in Gunzhou, so he wants to destroy us so that we can take advantage of other places! It's just that we have waited for so long and prepared for so long. , I'm afraid that Liu Bei won't come!"

"Hey! How come I don't have the gutsy guts of you commanders and strategists. If you want me to say, let's go up and do it. Now that Cao Cao has been beaten by the lord, I have been tormented every day. If he doesn't come, I'll go to Xuzhou to find him!" After listening for a while, Xu Chu didn't understand what Li Jing meant, so he could only shout strangely, causing Li Jing to shake his head again and again.

After chatting with Xu Chu again, Li Jing said with a smile: "Okay, now that Liu Bei has come, let's go meet him!"

Xu Chu couldn't hold back for a long time. Hearing Li Jing's words, he laughed and went to prepare. It didn't take long for the two of them to lead the troops and prepare to meet Liu Bei.

This time, the men and horses that Li Jing brought were not too many, only tens of thousands.

And this time, in order to deal with Li Jing, Liu Bei personally led [-] horses, and it was precisely because of this that Liu Bei's army came in a mighty, powerful way from a distance.

"My lord, the frontier is Yuzhou, so Li Jing is hiding in the local mountains!" Sima Yi said, looking at the mountains and rivers in front of him.

Liu Bei also nodded, and then looked forward. For the past two days, he discussed the future with Sima Yi and Pang Tong every day, and the ambition in his heart was once again inspired. Destroy Li Jing's men.

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Liu Bei opened his mouth and said, "I ordered the army to rest, let's take our troops and horses to test it out first!"

Pang Tong and Sima Yi both nodded, and the two of them now have a tacit understanding. When they heard Liu Bei's order, Pang Tong stayed to preside over the garrison of the army, while Sima Yi accompanied Liu Bei to the front, ready to take a look at Li Jing's. How are the soldiers.

896: First fight

Li Jing's position at the moment is in the Liang Kingdom of Yuzhou, which is very close to Gunzhou and also very close to Xuzhou.

And Liu Bei and Sima Yi led their troops out to test, and Li Jing naturally saw it from a distance.Without any hesitation, Li Jing led Xu Chu to greet him.

It didn't take long for the two armies to confront each other from afar.

"Zhongda, do you see why Li Jing only has so few troops? Shall we take the opportunity to kill him now?" Liu Bei couldn't help but ask when he looked at the few troops led by Li Jing in front of him.

Sima Yi shook his head, and then he said: "My lord, this person dares to bring a small number of people here, he must have something to rely on, our army has traveled long distances, and now is the time to be exhausted, not yet. Good for fighting them!"

Liu Bei nodded and said unwillingly, "This person is the commander-in-chief of Liu Rui's command. He stopped Cao Cao many times with Li Cunxiao by the Yellow River. This scorpion, if you cut off one of Liu Rui's fingers! Now it's a pity that I can't move while watching it!"
