When Yuan Shao received the letter from Shenpai, he had just received a good news from Zhang He.

The first battle won, and he won Peixian, which he thought would take some trouble, which made Yuan Shao feel very happy.

After reading the memorial written by Liu Bei to the court, he felt Liu Bei's heartbrokenness, and Yuan Shao even smiled and summoned Tian Feng and others to discuss matters.

Tian Feng clearly supported Shen Pei's opinion and suggested that Zhang He and Gao Lan lead the cavalry to Xia Pi to prevent Chen Deng from returning to the aid. As for Tan County, it is not worth worrying. Mi Fang was not a general, and Tan County was not a strong city.

, The army is surrounded by a large army and can be broken just around the corner.

In contrast, once Chen Deng entered Xia Pi, it would be difficult to defeat Xia Pi. He was blocked outside Xia Pi City, fully utilized his cavalry advantages, defeated him in field battles, and even forced him to surrender. Xia Pi was at his fingertips.

The reason why Xuzhou people were willing to support Liu Bei and defend Xuzhou was not that Liu Bei could win the hearts of the people, but that Xuzhou people felt that the court had hope of revival. If they could quickly conquer the East China Sea and Xia Pi and turn Pengcheng into an isolated city, Xuzhou people still believed that the court could

ZTE?

They will descend like the people of Yanzhou.

In this way, Xuzhou's manpower and material resources can be used to attack Pengcheng. Even if the imperial court sends troops to attack Jizhou, Yuan Shao will have enough troops to return to the rescue so that all his efforts will not be wasted.

What is even more likely is that under the strong pressure of Yuan’s army, the Xuzhou people in Pengcheng gave up Liu Bei and surrendered.

If it comes, only half a year from sending troops to pacifying Xuzhou, who dares to doubt the lord's ability to use troops?

Yuan Shao was inspired by the prospect depicted by Tian Feng and happily agreed.

He handed over the 4,000 cavalry outside the personal guards to Zhang He, commanded Gao Lan, and asked them to rush to Xia Pi as quickly as possible to intercept Chen Deng. Then he personally led the army to Tan County, and issued a manifesto to Xuzhou at the same time.

Large clans should not resist stubbornly, the relatives will suffer, and the enemy will be happy.

He called Chen Lin and asked Chen Lin to go to Pengcheng again, hoping that Liu Bei would recognize the situation, give up resistance, and not make unnecessary struggles.

Now that Liu Bei is in the city, he can treat him with courtesy. When the troops are at the city, it will be too late for Liu Bei to surrender again.

Zhang He and Gao Lan were surprised and inspired when they accepted the order.

When Yuan Shao went to the expedition, he personally led more than 50,000 main forces, including 50,000 cavalrymen. It was a great trust for the 4,000 cavalry to be concentrated and under their command. It also means that he was bound to win this mission.

They did not dare to neglect, so they immediately led their troops to set off and rushed to Xiapi.

On the way, they received a private message from Tian Feng.

Tian Feng asked them to severely damage Chen Deng. In addition to not being able to kill Chen Deng himself, they should destroy Chen Deng's subordinates to the greatest extent. If they can be wiped out, it would be the best.

Unlike Liu Bei's subordinates, Chen Deng's subordinates were mainly from Xuzhou people, half of which were the private parts of the Chen family in Xia Pi. If they could not be severely damaged, even if Chen Deng surrendered, he would exert his influence with his troops in the future and become a

Uncontrollable factors.

Having severely damaged him or even wiped out him completely will not only severely destroy the morale of the people of Xuzhou, but also make Chen Deng obey orders and dare not have a double intention.

Victory on the battlefield is the most intimidating. The reason why so many people believe that ZTE has opportunities is because of several great victory of the emperor. Yuan Shao wanted to control Xuzhou, but he could only achieve it through victory on the battlefield.

Zhang He, Gao Lan understands it with his heart.

This is not only Yuan Shao's victory, but also Jizhou people. Tian Feng did not want the faction of the Jizhou people who appeared under Yuan Shao's command to have strong military power, which would affect the voice of Jizhou people.

Chen Lin stood in front of Liu Bei again, took out the intercepted memorial and handed it to Liu Bei with both hands.

At the beginning, Liu Bei was inexplicably surprised. When he saw what Chen Lin handed over, his face suddenly changed.

He knew what was written in the memorial. When the memorial was written in Yuan Shao, his background was undoubtedly revealed, and it was impossible to make a bluff.

"Encourt, this is God's will." Chen Lin smiled and said in a gentle tone. "Encourt is the governor of Yuzhou, and Mr. Yuan is very grateful. Now Yuan Xiansi is in Youzhou. He is willing to repay you with his kindness and honor.

How about Wei Maocai?”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

Yuan Shao wanted Yuan Tan to refer to him as Maocai, which was more like a threat than a repayment of kindness.

He only has this kind of kindness for Yuan Shao and his son. Once Yuan Tan calls him Maocai, he will repay the favor. If there is any conflict, everyone will not have to show mercy.

Of course, the main reason is that Yuan Shao will not show him mercy.

Liu Bei thought for a while, raised his head and bowed to Chen Lin. "Dare you ask Kong Zhang, how will Mr. Yuan treat me?"

"If the envoy does not abandon you, Mr. Yuan is willing to submit his envoy to be the governor of Yuzhou and come to his own state."

"I have been running around for several years and my energy is exhausted. I am afraid I cannot bear this important task." Liu Bei sighed: "I want to go back to my hometown, can I?"

"Return to Zhuo County?" Chen Lin was slightly stunned, a little surprised.

"Yes, Yuan Xiansi is in the city of Bizhou and must be able to remember his old love and take care of him. I know that I am weak in talent and virtue, and I am not a hero who fights for dominance in the world. I hope to break up and go home to weave shoes." Liu Bei said,

Start with the straw sandals that have not been knitted at hand, and they are bitter.

Chen Lin thought about it, but shook her head and refused.

He knew in his heart that Yuan Tan had no control of Youzhou at all, that was just his liar to Liu Bei. It was like letting Liu Bei return to Zhuo County to let the tiger return to the mountain.

"Your envoy is too modest. You just meet someone unknown, so you have no place to use your skills. If you have the support of Mr. Yuan, you will be more than enough to be the governor of Yuzhou. Please do not refuse."

Liu Bei said again: "It is related to the future. Can I allow me to discuss with the generals and I will reply again."

Chen Lin agreed happily.

He didn't think Liu Bei had any room for bargaining. Zhang He and Gao Lan were on the way to attack Chen Deng, and good news would come within a few days. At that time, Liu Bei had no other thoughts and could only surrender.

He ordered someone to send Chen Lin to the inn to rest, and Liu Bei summoned Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and others to discuss.

When everyone learned that the memorial sent to the court was intercepted by the Sei Pei, everyone changed their faces and didn't speak for a long time. The atmosphere was so depressing that it was impossible to breathe.

"You guys, life and death are here to fight, and I hope you can speak freely." Liu Bei said.

Zhang Fei regretted it.

If he hadn't lost Pei County, the situation would not have collapsed so much.

"Master, I..."

Liu Bei waved his hand and signaled Zhang Fei not to say anything.

"If you want to say something wrong, it's my fault first." Liu Bei sighed and said, "I have known Cao Bao, Xu Dan and others to speak out for the Tao Ying brothers, but they are worried that they will not lose their heads and dare not apply for it. If the arrangements can be made, Cao Bao will

If you can stick to it with peace of mind, it won’t be like this.”

Mi Zhu and others looked at each other.

Liu Bei's words are correct, but now is not the time to review, so it is still the most important thing to find a way to defend Pengcheng.

"Lord, the past has passed away, so there is no need to worry about it. The most urgent thing is to decide the strategy of fighting and defense." Jian Yong bowed.

"Xianhe said very much." Liu Bei turned to Mi Zhu. "Zi Zhong, what about your opinion?"

Mi Zhu said without hesitation: "After I marry my lord, I will be one, and I will advance and retreat with the lord."

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. "Since that's the case, I have an idea, I don't know whether it is feasible or not, and I want to discuss it with you."

"Please speak, lord."

"There are more than 10,000 soldiers in Pengcheng. If everyone can fight to the death, they may not be able to stick to it. I want to do Zilong's plan, use the land and house as a reward to boost morale, and stick to Pengcheng." Liu Bei said: "Your land and house have not been sold yet.

If you lose, can you lend me a reward for the soldiers?"
