Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

"This is what we should do, my lord doesn't need to do this." Jian Yong and Mi Zhu bowed their hands and answered respectfully and neatly.

Liu Bei waved his hand to let the two leave, and then fell into solitary thinking. He wanted to join Zhang Fei's troops as soon as possible, but he was also anxious to escape.

Liu Bei now wants to find someone to discuss big plans, but there is no one to talk to. Jian and Mi can discuss small things, but they don't have that long-term vision when it comes to a long-term shelter.

So Liu Bei urgently needs to get what he wants from Chen Deng, so he is urgent.

After one night, Liu Bei's army started again, and Mi Zhu collected cattle and horses all the way in the same way as before.

But it has little effect, because these are all controlled by the government, and it often costs a lot of money to gain something, and they are all lame horses or old cattle that have been eliminated from the army.

But something is better than nothing, and it still has a little effect, making the marching speed a little faster.

In this way, the journey originally took one month, but Liu Bei and others tried their best to increase it to twenty days.

When the two armies met, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei gave a weeping hug first, and then a group of people entered the barracks talking and laughing.

Everyone took their seats, Zhang Fei took the lead and said: "Brother, you are finally here. These days, I am worried about the third brother. Now I wait for the two armies to join forces, where should I attack next?"

"Eh?" Liu Bei paused with a smile on his face, turned to Chen Deng and asked, "We should discuss this matter together. The military adviser will tell you your opinion first?"

Chen Deng cupped his hands and said: "Deng currently has two strategies, but they are not perfect. Since the lord asks, let me say a few words."

As Chen Deng revealed his plan, everyone in the account began to slowly sink into deep thought.

Liu Bei has just been taken over by a dove, and now he has to rely on others to do exactly the same thing, and he always feels uncomfortable.

Zhang Fei's temper was rather irritable, and he said immediately after hearing this: "The two strategies of the army and the division are both done by villains. It is better to fight back to Xuzhou with the current strength."

Even if they were lucky enough to win back Xuzhou with the current force, they would be annexed if they faced the eyes of the princes from all walks of life.

The only option at present, as Chen Deng said, is to vote for one side of the princes and plan slowly. Although the effect is slow, it is safe.

Faced with such a big decision, Jian and Mi naturally dare not speak nonsense. If they make a wrong move, they may be turned into pawns in the hands of others.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense, the military adviser is right, there is only one choice now."

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Zhang Fei could only sit down resentfully, with displeasure on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was not comforted, and said to Chen Deng, "Then what if Liu Biao and Liu Zhang don't accept it?"

Chen Deng said with a smile: "No, these two people are the same as the lord, they are both clan relatives of the Han family, and besides, they both need assistants to pacify the territory for him."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Then as a military adviser, which side is the most appropriate to take refuge in?"

Chen Deng replied: "I mean, I'm in Yizhou, but the journey is far away, and I'm afraid there may be accidents, so the decision-making is still made by the lord himself."

Yizhou is indeed good. The Han Dynasty was able to be established because Liu Bang occupied Yizhou, which is known as the Kingdom of Shu in Tianfu.

Chapter 514

But right now they are less than a year and a half away from Yizhou, and they will definitely not be able to reach them, not to mention passing through the princes all the way.

There will definitely be battles at that time, and they have no foundation. If they lose, I am afraid that these soldiers will just disperse.

Then there is only Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Liu Bei has heard of Liu Biao, so he is not so easy to fool.

There are pros and cons on both sides, Liu Bei didn't know how to make up his mind for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Or else, send someone to meet the two of them first, and see if we can get anything out of their mouths."

Since he has made no decision, it is also a good choice to find out the tone first. After thinking for a while, Chen Deng agreed with Liu Bei's decision.

However, they have been stationed outside for several months, if they don't find a shelter first, I'm afraid that the idea of ​​bandits will spread in the army, and they will not obey orders and act privately, which will cause great disaster.

Chen Deng suggested: "My lord, the army has been away for a long time, you can find a shelter first, and the army's morale has been stabilized."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay, where should I take the idea of ​​a military advisor?"

Chen Deng had studied this for a long time, and replied with a smile: "At the intersection of Henan, Yang, and Jing, the two small cities of Anyang and Xinxi are currently occupied by many rogues. If my lord goes there, I will be able to take them down in one fell swoop."

"When the time comes to recruit these rogues, they can be used for their own use, or they can be used as a temporary resting place. I wonder if my lord would like it?"

The two places Chen Deng mentioned were both small towns with few people, but they could still be used as temporary accommodation.

There was nowhere to go right now, so Liu Bei didn't care, of course he agreed and ordered the army to rest for two days before heading to the two cities.

In the past two days, Liu Bei also sent envoys to Jingzhou and Yizhou to test their opinions.

……

Ten days later, Liu Biao was in Nanyang Liu's Mansion, where he was handling government affairs. When he learned that Liu Bei had sent someone, he immediately looked puzzled.

Although Liu Biao said he had heard of Liu Bei's name, the two of them had no interaction at all. At this time, Liu Bei sent someone here suddenly, it must be something important.

A down-and-out vassal who has lost his foundation, if he can do anything, he just asks to be taken in, but if he has mastered the power, can he be willing.

In the past, Liu Biao might have paid more attention to it, but now almost all the power in Jingzhou is under his control. If Liu Bei comes, it will be unstable.

But others have already arrived, and if they don't see the previous side, I'm afraid the name won't justify it.

Liu Biao thought about it for a while, and then asked people to invite someone from the future to see what Liu Bei meant.

After waiting for a while, Liu Biao saw a person coming under the leadership of his servants. Liu Biao glanced at the corner of his eyes a few times, but there was no response, as if he hadn't seen it.

It was Jian Yong who visited Liu Biao this time. Seeing Liu Biao pretending to be immersed in official business, he saluted and said, "Uncle Liu Huang is under the command of the long history Jian Yong and Jian Xianhe, and I have seen Jingzhou Mu."

"Huh?" Hearing the voice, Liu Biao couldn't pretend anymore, stood up with a smile on his face and said, "It's been a hard journey, Mr. Xuande sent you here, but is there something wrong?"

Although Liu Biao was polite on the surface, he lacked basic courtesy at all. Jian Yong knew in his heart that this trip might not be that simple.

Jian Yong said neither arrogant nor humble: "Grand Liu and the emperor's uncle are of the same lineage. Now the emperor has nowhere to stay and wants to attach himself to Mr. Liu. I don't know if Mr. Liu is willing to accept it?"

Jian Yong's straight-to-the-point remarks made Liu Biao stunned, and he didn't speak for a while.

Seeing that Liu Biao was in a daze, Jian Yong continued: "Mr. Liu is facing enemies all around. Sun Ce of Yangzhou has a feud with Mr. Liu, and behind him are Zhang Lu and others, as well as Cao Cao and Er Yuan who are vacillating."

"Uncle Huang is concerned about his sympathy, and he doesn't want to help those princes with heavy armies, so he traveled thousands of miles to come to join us. I hope Liu Gong will think about it carefully."

It's not that Liu Biao didn't think about what Jian Yong said. In his eyes, Zhang Lu and others have nothing to fear.

What I'm afraid of is Cao Cao and the covetous Sun Ce. Although Cao Cao has reached an agreement and is an ally for the time being, there is no guarantee that he will not turn his face.

Not to mention Sun Ce, since he gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou, he has been recruiting troops, and there is a steady stream of bandits and bandits who go to join him, and their power is gradually growing.

A few days ago, there was news from Jiangxia that Sun Ce sent several generals to sneak attack in the thick fog, but fortunately they found out in time and repelled them.

But taking in Liu Bei is a double-edged sword, if not, it will lead wolves into the house, and then Jingzhou will fall into chaos again.

Liu Biao walked back and forth, thought for a long time and said: "Mr. Xuande came to vote, and Benzhou Mu was very happy, but Jingzhou's ability to support soldiers has reached the bottom line, and I am afraid that it will no longer be able to support tens of thousands of troops."
