The two of them snorted and cried for a while, and then Tao Qian took Liu Bei's hand and came to the person.

Before Tao Qian could speak, Liu Bei glared at him and exclaimed, "Zhang Liao, uh." Then he realized that he was rude, and hurriedly bowed: "Meet General Pingnan!" "。 It turned out that Zhang Liao had already been named the general of Pingnan by Chen Chu in the name of the holy decree, and the rest of the generals also had their own titles, Lu Bu was the former general of the third grade, Zhang Fei was the general of the third rank of Pingdong, Zhao Yun was the right general of the third grade, Zhang Jaw was the general of the third rank left, Guan Yu was the general of the third grade of Zhenhu, Dian Wei was the general of the third grade Huya, Ma Chao was the general of the fourth rank of Xiaocai, Gao Lan, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba were also the fourth grade, and the rest of the generals were below the fourth grade.

Zhang Liao didn't let Liu Bei bow down, helped him up halfway, and said with a smile: "Although my rank is above you, I don't belong to each other, you don't have to make such a big gift to me!"

"General Xie!"

Zhang Liao and Liu Bei are also old acquaintances, and the two have known each other since they were in the crusade against the Yellow Turban.

After Liu Bei and Zhang Liao saw the salute, he stepped aside. At this time, Tao Qian said: "Today, I was invited by Wen Yuan to go to the military camp of the Northern Army to have a look, and Xuande will also go with us." Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Obey." Then

they went out of the house, and there was no wagon, but all on horseback.

At this time, a graceful figure dressed in a bearded costume swayed in front of Liu Bei's eyes, it was the beautiful Miss Mi, and what surprised Liu Bei even more was that Miss Mi actually rode a horse and walked beside Zhang Liao, and the two looked intimate. His heart couldn't help but hurt, and at this moment, Liu Bei felt that it was difficult to breathe.

Hurriedly moved his gaze to Tao Qian, only to see Tao Qian stroking the long hair under his chin, and looking at the pair of mandarin ducks with a smile on his face. Liu Bei suddenly despaired. Then he smiled bitterly and said secretly: Zhang Liao's reputation and status are of course much stronger than mine! A trace of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes, one day, I will make Zhang Liao kneel in front of me! Not only Zhang Liao, but also the general Chen Chu!

The group came to the barracks, and Miss Mi, who followed Zhang Liao's side, was as happy as a magpie.

Coming to the field first, the cavalry of the Tiger Roar Battalion was practicing as usual. In the northern section of the field, there was a team of Tiger Roar Battalion soldiers who were practicing Xi sword skills bare-chested, and the tall Tiger Roar Battalion soldiers shouted in unison from time to time, and the sound shook the sky, and a group of Xuzhou subordinates couldn't help but swallow saliva when they saw this scene; At the south end of the field, a team of Tiger Roar Battalion soldiers are riding on the war horses in full armor, and are practicing Xi riding skills, rows of cavalry from time to time in a short distance to attack, wielding horizontal knives and slashing the wooden stakes beside them, these Tiger Roaring Cavalry wearing tiger helmets and dark cloaks exude amazing momentum, seeing this scene, many officials secretly touched the cold sweat, Liu Bei's face was very ugly.

In the end, Zhang Liao invited everyone to come to the tent. After each sat down, Tao Qian exclaimed: "I have long heard that the Northern Army is invincible in the world, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" The subordinates immediately chimed in. These cavalrymen are extremely well-equipped and powerful, but the rumored Iron Cavalry of the Tiger Roaring Battalion? It was Chen Deng who spoke, and he was very excited at the moment.

Zhang Liao smiled, with a hint of pride in his eyes, and replied, "Just as Mr. Yuanlong said!

At this time, Liu Bei spoke, "I don't know what kind of mission the Tiger Roar Battalion will perform in Xuzhou?" "。 Liu Bei's words are worth scrutinizing, when I first heard it, I didn't feel anything, but when I thought about it carefully, it tasted.

Most of the people present were human spirits, and they all understood what Liu Bei meant by this.

Of course, Zhang Liao understood what Liu Bei meant, but he was not surprised, he was afraid that everyone in Xuzhou hoped that the Northern Army could give them an answer.

Thinking of Chen Chu's flying pigeon to himself not long ago, Zhang Liao smiled and said: "Our expedition to the Northern Army is completely out of justice. Now that the crisis in Xuzhou has been solved, my lord has passed the order that all the troops of the Northern Expedition will return to Yanzhou in the near future!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, they couldn't imagine that the Northern Army would be so simple.

It was Tao Qian who spoke first, "No." If the Northern Army leaves, Yuan Shu will definitely retaliate, won't Xuzhou be in danger?

Chen Deng also said: "I understand that the general is open-minded, but we really need the help of the Northern Army!" Then

the crowd chimed in. Miss Mi looked at Zhang Liao, her eyes revealed the meaning of begging, Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart, Liu Bei saw this scene, and only felt a pain in her heart.

Zhang Liao glanced at everyone, his face was embarrassed, and said: "If our army stays, I'm afraid it will be true!"

Tao Qian said urgently: "I asked the Northern Army to stay, how can I tell the truth?" "Yes, yes, yes..."

Zhang Liao lowered his head and thought about it, and everyone looked at Zhang Liao anxiously.

After a while, Zhang Liao raised his head and said with a helpless expression: "In this case, I will ask the lord for this opinion." "

Wen Yuan must convince the general!" Tao Qian said with a look of longing. Zhang Liao hugged his fists at Tao Qian and said: "Liaoding should do your best!"

Liu Bei sneered in his heart, he knew what trick Chen Chu was playing, but he couldn't do anything about it. Chen Chu's strategy can be said to be a yang conspiracy, forcing people with momentum, even if Chen Chu's plan is provoked, Tao Qian has no choice, and Liu Bei will make himself unable to step down.

Liu Bei returned to his barracks with a gloomy face. Seeing this, the three henchmen looked at each other.

"General, what is the current situation in Xuzhou?" Liu Yan asked.

"I'm afraid that Xuzhou will be completely controlled by the Northern Army!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice, and then told what had just happened and his own speculation.

The three of them all frowned, and Jiang Yue said, "According to the general's statement, we don't seem to have a choice!"

Guan Hai asked suspiciously: "Didn't the general tell the assassin about the conspiracy of the Northern Army?"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's useless." It's really like Jiang Yue said, we don't have a choice at all, even if we say it, Tao Gong will choose to ask the Northern Army to stay, and I will be in the public target!

"Is this how the Northern Army succeeds?" Liu Yan said unwillingly.

Liu Bei sighed, "What else can be done?" The situation is not as good as people!

Miss Mi did not leave the barracks with Tao Qian, she said that she was going to hunt in the nearby woods with Zhang Liao. God knows when she learned to hunt, but Tao Qian readily agreed to her request.

Zhang Liao and Miss Mi rode their horses for a walk by the side of the barracks, and dozens of personal soldiers fell far behind. Zhang Liao felt that his heart was wrapped in a soft feeling, a feeling he had never felt before. Miss Mi seemed more cheerful than ever, talking to Zhang Liao from time to time, and the laughter like a silver bell floated around Zhang Liao. Xiang'er's eyes always look at Zhang Liao stupidly when others are not paying attention, and from time to time she shows a look of shame and joy, I really don't know what she thinks.

If Liu Bei saw this scene, I don't know how he would feel.

......

Huainan is also known as Yangzhou and Shouchun, which is the capital city of Yangzhou, very prosperous, and its population is second only to Luoyang. At this moment, Huainan is the location of Yuan Shu's lair.

Ji Ling's army was defeated and returned to Huainan, and there were less than 50,000 of the 200,000 troops he brought with him, Yuan Shu was furious, and he wanted to kill Ji Ling on the spot, but fortunately, everyone tried their best to dissuade Ji Ling and escaped the scourge of killing, but he was still imprisoned.

That night, the angry Yuan Shu used very perverted means to play with the two palace maids. The sergeants on duty that night heard the creepy screams that lasted until late at night.

"The lord is crazy again!" One of the pro-soldiers shrank his head and whispered.

Another soldier shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity for those two beautiful women!" Early

the next morning, Yuan Shu convened everyone to discuss the matter.

"I have decided to fight to the death with the whole army to the north with the whole army!" Yuan Shu shouted as soon as he came, but Yuan Shu's expression at the moment was much more relaxed than yesterday, and it seemed that last night still had an effect.

All the civil and military forces were shocked, and Li Feng, the chief bookkeeper, hurriedly said: "My lord, our army has suffered heavy losses in the new defeat, and the northern army has won consecutive battles in recent days, how can our army confront the northern army at this time?"

Gong Cao Yuan Huan echoed: "What the Lord of the Lord said is extremely true, the Lord must not raise a sword because of personal anger!" The

crowd immediately chimed in.

Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Usually I see that you are all resourceful, how come things come to an end, but you will only prevaricate?"

Yuan Huan hugged his fists and said: "My lord, if it is not for us to shirk, it is really unwise to fight with the Northern Army under the current circumstances!"

Yuan Shu didn't listen to his advice, and called on the spot: "Liu Xun." "The last will be." An iron-clad general made a promise.

Yuan Huan and Li Feng were shocked when they saw this, and persuaded together: "Lord..." Retire!

Yuan Huan still wanted to persuade again, Li Feng quietly pulled the corners of his clothes, Yuan Huan turned around, and Li Feng said in a low voice: "The Lord is just angry, I should not say anything more for the time being." "Alas! Yuan Huan sighed.

"Gather all your troops at once and prepare for the battle!"

"Yes." Liu Xun received the order.

With Yuan Shu's order, the entire Huainan army began to mobilize, and soldiers from all over the country gathered in Huainan. When the people saw this scene, they speculated that soon after, the news that the Huainan Army would go north to fight against the Northern Army spread among the people, and the people were terrified, they didn't think that the Huainan army could beat the tiger and wolf army of the Northern Army.

At the same time as the army was mobilizing, grain was also being raised in various places.

During this period, Yuan Huan and Li Feng tried to persuade Yuan Shu to give up the northward strategy many times, but in vain, they were ridiculed by Yuan Shu fiercely.

Many of the surrounding princes were happy to see it, and Cao Cao even sent a secret envoy to Huainan.

Just when Yuan Shujun's good-looking chariot was running at high speed, Chen Chu's envoy suddenly came to Huainan. Then a staggering scene appeared, Yuan Shu actually declared in a high-profile manner that he would strictly obey the orders of the imperial court, and then Yuan Shu declared that Jiangdu and Jianye and Wu County in Jiangnan had been assigned to him by the imperial court, and he hoped that the three Taishou would follow the orders of the imperial court! At this point, everyone understands what is going on! However, the princes were a little puzzled, how could such an edict make Yuan Shu give up the established plan?

Although the relationship between Yuan Shu and the Northern Army was eased, Yuan Shu's army was still assembled, but the army made a 180-degree turn, advancing south to Tutang on the Yangtze River, where hundreds of thousands of troops were assembled, obviously to coerce the three counties to defend it. For a time, war clouds were thick on both sides of the Yangtze River.
