Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Not for anything else, because they have no food now, but Liu Bei has it, and Liu Beiyou has always shown that he loves the people like a son, even though he didn't notice it for a while, causing troubles caused by local hooligans.

But people are not sages and sages, and Liu Bei immediately took precautions after the incident, distributed food to the people, and sent troops to patrol non-stop.

But these can deceive most people, but for those who are smarter, it is still difficult to hide.

Although they didn't know what happened, they still had doubts about the government's announcement, because all these things would not happen by such a coincidence.

Although I doubt it, those who are smart will not gossip around. After all, Liu Bei is still in power at the moment. If he guesses right, he may be killed.

In this way, the people of the two counties followed Liu Bei and left, and some stayed. It was chaotic for a while, but fortunately there was no violence.

All of this is under Liu Bei's control. Since the plan was implemented, people in each city can only go in and out, so the news is still kept secret, and not many people know about it.

With the arrival of the seven-day agreement, Tai Shici led [-] elite soldiers to Beihai City, preparing to hand over the city defense.

As soon as Tai Shici arrived, Liu Bei didn't write any ink, and immediately led the army out of the city to hand over to him. When the two met, they didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

Liu Bei said neither arrogant nor humble: "General Tai Shici, the two cities will be handed over to you, but there are some people who are willing to leave with Bei, I hope you don't mind."

If there is someone in the hearts of the people who is willing to chase after death, that is everyone's wish, and Tai Shici will not force it. After all, this will become an unstable factor in the future.

Furthermore, not many people would be willing to wander with one of the princes for a lifetime, let alone leave their homes forever.

Tai Shici said boldly: "The common people's decision to leave or stay is voluntary. There will be no coercion in the first place. The food is here. Uncle Huang, do you want to count it?"

Liu Bei took a quick look and said, "Bei believes in the general. After an hour, Bei's army will withdraw. Please wait a moment, general."

Tai Shici clasped his fists and said: "Okay, I'm sorry, Uncle Emperor, I wouldn't care about an hour."

"Well, thank you very much." Liu Bei saluted with his fists clasped, turned around and said to the army behind him, "All the soldiers listened to the order and transported the food back to the city, ready to withdraw."

After Liu Bei collected the food, he led his army into the city in an orderly manner.

Liu Bei had already prepared everything, and now he collected the food, joined the army directly, and withdrew from the city, which only took less than half an hour.

But he needs an hour, just to prevent Tai Shici from chasing him. Although the chance is very small, he has to guard against it.

An hour passed, and the city gate was slowly opened by two old soldiers.

Seeing this, Tai Shici ordered the army to enter the city in an orderly manner, so as not to scare the people.

Entering the city, there were a few lazily-eyed civilians by the street, sitting on the ground, watching the army enter the city.

Seeing that the city was sparsely populated, Tai Shici thought that the people were afraid, so he didn't take it to heart, and turned to Xu Shu and said, "Mr.

Xu Shu didn't know much about this matter, because he had just returned from Youbeiping and learned that Liu Bei wanted to exchange the two cities for grain, so he immediately decided to go together to see if there was any problem.

Hearing Tai Shici's question, Xu Shu looked around, shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid there are not many people in this city."

"Huh?" Tai Shici said in disbelief, "Mr. Xu's words are serious, Liu Bei's reputation has not yet reached the level of the whole city, right?"

Xu Shu nodded and said: "The general is right, but Liu Bei must have used some method. Otherwise, no matter how frightened the people are, they would not be as lifeless as they are now. This is not hidden."

Tai Shici still trusted Xu Shu's words very much, because many of Xu Shu's predictions had come true.

In order to prove Xu Shu's right or wrong, Tai Shici suddenly stopped the army, got off his horse, and walked towards an old man sitting by the street.

"Old man, I want to ask you something, how many people in the city left with the emperor?"

The old man's empty eyes regained a bit of energy, he glanced at Tai Shici, and suddenly knelt down and said: "General, please take in the old man, the old man has a four-year-old grandson at home, please give him a way to survive, I can do anything... ..."

Kneeling begging for no reason, Tai Shici said with a confused face: "The old man said slowly, the general will definitely give you a way to survive."

Hearing the guarantee, the old man began to talk about the changes these days, first Chunyu Qiong emptied the treasury and withdrew, then Liu Bei took over, the hooligans ran rampant and so on.

After hearing this, Tai Shici was startled, and quickly told Xu Shu the whole story.

Xu Shu didn't panic after hearing this, but went to the old man himself, asked about the cause and effect, and then led Tai Shici to a place where there was no one else.

Glancing around, Xu Shu said, "General, all of this should be done by Liu Bei, and the situation in the two counties should be similar."

"Liu Bei?" Tai Shici said in disbelief, "Liu Bei has always been known for his benevolence, so he probably wouldn't do such a wicked thing?"

Xu Shu analyzed: "Xuzhou was suddenly occupied by Yuan Shao. He must have wanted to join Zhang Fei's troops, but he had no food, so he made such a bad move."

"And this strategy kills three birds with one stone. As an ally of him and Cao Cao, why didn't he hand over the two counties to Cao Cao, but to you, the general, and you will understand after careful information."

Yes, the lord and Liu Bei had a bad relationship, why he was so forthright and handed over the two cities so easily, it must be for revenge on Yuan Shao.

Then he took the people of the two counties away, maybe for the sake of future development, or to prevent the strength of the lord from being strengthened. As for Cao Cao, he must have reached an agreement with him.

Tai Shici thought about it for a while, but he didn't dare to confirm and asked: "Sir, what do you mean, Liu Bei wants to take revenge on Yuan Shao with the help of our army?"

Xu Shu replied affirmatively: "Yes, Yuan Shao wanted to use Liu Bei's strength to resist our army, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to be more insidious."

Tai Shici thought about it for a while, and felt that this made sense, but all of this did not do much harm to them.

Because the evacuation of the people in the two counties is beneficial to Li Huiyi's policy, when it develops, people who have fled will naturally come.

Tai Shici changed the subject and said: "Since this is the case, what should our army do now?"

Xu Shu sighed and said: "What can be done, the general will release the food distribution first to the people left behind, stabilize the situation, and discuss things later."

Tai Shici thought for a while and said, "Okay, but since Liu Bei has acted like this, should we send a large army to pursue and see if we can get back some food?"

Chapter 512

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "No, the restoration of public order in the two counties is the top priority. Only by recovering as soon as possible can the loss be reduced."

"Now is not the time to start a war. It is better to report this matter to the lord first, and let the lord move some people here to restore the livelihood of the people in the two counties."

Xu Shu's approach is considered safe, because chasing Liu Bei who has lost his way of retreat will be a fierce battle, and if it fails, both sides will suffer.

Even if a little food is taken back, it will not be of much use, not to mention that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao may send troops, so the two counties will lose their defense.

Under Xu Shu's suggestion, Tai Shici began to release the list to calm the people, and allocated a batch of military rations to solve the people's temperature and security, so as to avoid riots.

After the situation temporarily settled down, Tai Shici transferred a large amount of food from Qi County, and at the same time deployed the army on the front line of Donglai to avoid Yuan Shao's sudden attack.

When Yuan Shao learned that Liu Bei had actually given the two counties to Taishi Ci, he hurriedly set up defenses on the front line of Langye, and moved the administrative office to Pengcheng, fearing that Taishi Ci would attack in one go.

But Yuan Shao was busy for a while, and found that Tai Shici hadn't moved, so he slowly let go of his uneasy heart, but he still strictly ordered the defenders in front, not to be taken lightly.

Compared with Yuan Shao's panic, Cao Cao was indeed much more relaxed. Liu Bei gave [-] Jingzhuang, and Liu Xie [-], which can be said to have paid a huge price for borrowing.

Since Liu Bei wanted to leave in a hurry, someone naturally said that he wanted Cao Cao to intercept Liu Bei and take all of this piece of fat.

But Cao Cao was uncharacteristically, and refused with righteous words, without any explanation, and let them guess.
