The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 391 Liu Bei Wants Benefits

Liu Xiao temporarily agreed to Chen Qun's request. Facing Zhou Yu and Xun You's explanations and strategies, the center of gravity of the attack shifted to Huainan County. The change.

Liu Xiao is very confident, and has great confidence in Yue Fei. Not to mention that Yue Fei has Xue Rengui, Gao Shun and other generals to help out, even if there are no two people, with Yue Fei's military ability, he can defeat Huang Zhong and Gan Ning in one fell swoop. What's more, Yue Fei still has the two absolute main forces of the Beiwei Army and the Suppressing Camp.

Liu Xiaobing retreated [-] miles and showed his favor to Chen Qun, but Liu Bei was not very happy, and was very dissatisfied with Hua Xin's coming again.

There is no other reason. This time the war was completely provoked by Cao Cao. At the beginning, Cao Cao lost to Liu Xiao. He used Nanjun and Nanyang as bait to lure Liu Bei to send troops to Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, he shook hands with Liu Xiao halfway to make peace, and left himself aside, causing Liu Bei to fall into an embarrassing situation, in a dilemma.

Now, with great difficulty, through the gossip array laid out by Pang Tong, he regained the city. He even sent out Nanjun and Nanyang, which belonged to him, and asked Cao Cao to send troops. In the end, what he waited for was Cao Cao's mediation messenger.

Chen Qun and Hua Xin, the two advisers under Cao Cao's command, came out together, one to persuade Liu Xiao and the other to persuade Liu Bei. Cao Cao, the initiator of the war, turned out to be a peacemaker and a good man!
How could Liu Bei not be angry when he saw Hua Xin acting like this?
"Ziyu, I respect you as a great Confucian who respects the world. It was the former who came to Danyang to ask for help. I agreed without saying a word."

Liu Bei's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "But what happened afterwards? I marched into Xuzhou, but Xuzhou has not yet been defeated. You actually made peace with Liu Xiao unilaterally in the north, making the main force of Liu Xiao's army less than half a month away. Time has entered Xuzhou, putting our army in a dilemma; now, with the help of Shi Yuan's formation map, we have regained the city, curbed Liu Xiao's arrogance, and are about to completely defeat Liu Xiao's attack At that time, you were ordered to mediate, what is the reason? Do you really think that I, Liu Bei, are easy to bully?"

Hua Xin's face was full of embarrassment, and he forced a smile: "My lord, it is precisely because you have brought back a city, which has dealt a heavy blow to Liu Xiao's arrogance and greatly damaged Liu Xiao's strength, so it is the best time to make peace. Ah, Lord Shijun, think about it, although the gossip formation is magical and incomprehensible, it is only used in confrontation after all. On the battlefield, fighters are ever-changing, and no one can predict it. If Liu Xiao gives up fighting with you , and then attack Wu County from Guangling? What if we attack Danyang directly? What's more, now that Liu Xiao has known the Bagua array, he will naturally not be fooled again. It is not yet known who will win the next battle; , whether it is the envoy or the prime minister, they are now slightly inferior to Liu Xiao."

"so what?"

Liu Bei snorted coldly and said, "As long as Meng De is willing to send troops and combine the forces of our two families to defeat Liu Xiao, there is at least a [-]% chance of defeating Liu Xiao! However, Meng De broke the appointment again and asked you to come to mediate, which is too deceitful!"

Pang Tong said from the side: "Ziyu, since you said that you are going on a mission with Changwen, how can you know that Liu Xiao will definitely agree?"

Hua Xin said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shi Yuan, this matter is not difficult. We have something to rely on to mediate. If Liu Xiao insists on refusing, then the prime minister's army will naturally go east to Qiao County to attack Liu Xiao's back, but now The three families have already been dragged down by the war, so why continue? Therefore, the prime minister wants to give courtesy first and then fight. If the three parties can stop together, that would be great. What's more, Liu Xiao is now defeated, losing troops and losing generals. He is at a disadvantage, and the two sides make peace , they are naturally happy to see it happen.”

Pang Tong glanced at Hua Xin and said calmly: "It's okay for us to stop our troops, but now we have the advantage. Why should we stop? It's okay for us to stop our troops and let Liu Xiao give up Xuzhou!"

Hua Xin's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Shi Yuan, are you going too far? Let Xuzhou go? Even when your army was at its peak, Xuzhou City was not taken by you. Langya County has always been in Liu Xiao's hands. Li, now you actually asked Liu Xiao to give up the whole Xuzhou? Isn't it a big joke in the world?"

Gu Yong on the side quickly said: "Mr. Ziyu, it doesn't have to be the whole of Xuzhou. As far as we are concerned, we will mobilize a large number of troops and mobilize a hundred thousand troops at one go, costing countless money and food. How is it possible to withdraw from Xuzhou? Huainan, Guangling, Xiapi How about giving us the four counties of Pei County and Pei County, and the remaining counties of Xuzhou will still belong to Liu Xiao?"

Hua Xin frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Tan, it's best for both of you to return to your respective borders, not invade each other, and occupy other counties by force. How could Liu Xiao agree easily? You know, Liu Xiao still has tens of thousands of people in the Central Plains." As for the elite forces, if all of you go south, you may not be Liu Xiao's opponent!"

Hua Xin tried his best to get Liu Bei to quit Xuzhou, but how could it be so easy?No one is willing to spit out the fat that has already been put into the mouth, let alone the greedy Liu Bei?

Taking it to another day, Hua Xin continued to lobby, and just at the beginning, the pawns outside the door had already run into the commander's tent.

"Report, my lord, Liu Xiao's army on the opposite side has pulled out all its camps and started to retreat to the north!"

Hua Xin cheered up and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, you see, Liu Xiao has started to retreat now, which means that he intends to stop the army. If you still insist on going your own way..."

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "Ziyu, my conditions are already very clear. Huainan County, Guangling, Xiapi, and Peijun will be handed over to us. Otherwise, there will be no talk of peace talks!"

"My lord..."

Hua Xin continued to persuasion earnestly.

While persuading, another pawn ran in.

"Report, my lord, Chen Qun, the envoy of Prime Minister Cao, is begging to see you outside the door!"

coming!

Liu Bei's heart trembled slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Changwen came so fast, please send Mr. Changwen to come in and have a talk, I want to see, what did Changwen say to persuade Liu Xiao to withdraw from the army and make peace!"

While speaking, Chen Qun strode into the handsome tent and came in front of Liu Bei.

"Chen Qun has met Lord Envoy!"

Chen Qun bowed.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and said: "Chang Wenyuan has worked hard, please sit down and talk about it. Today Liu Xiao retired from the army. I wonder if it is the result of Chang Wen's lobbying?"

Chen Qun said in a deep voice: "My lord, this is exactly for this purpose. I have already persuaded Liu Xuanqian, and now Liu Xuanqian replied that it is only necessary to make the army of your lord retreat from Xuzhou, and each border can be settled. Then we can shake hands and make peace. Going to fight, I don't know what the envoy's will do?"

"dream!"
