Liu Bei felt relieved.

Then, he thought of other things.

The figure that always surrounded his heart appeared in his mind again.

As long as this figure was there, he would be distracted no matter what he did.

It was as if that person was his natural nemesis.

"That..."

"How should we deal with Tang Hai?"

Liu Bei asked with a bitter expression.

Pang Tong immediately replied: "According to what the lord said, and Tang Hai's recent performance, we can't stop him at all."

Noticing Liu Bei's eyes looking over, Pang Tong added with certainty and certainty.

"There is no strength to fight in any way."

"My lord, please don't think too much."

The speed of Liu Bei's warhorse was getting slower and slower, "Then... do we still need to go to Yuzhou?"

Blown by the cold wind in the wilderness, he seemed to be half awake.

The impulse to occupy the entire Yuzhou before seemed to be taken away by the wild wind.

"If you can't hold it, what's the point of coming?"

A look of desolation appeared on Liu Bei's face.

He felt that although Liu Yu was not here, he waved his hand fiercely and slapped him in the face.

It hurt.

It hurt like hell.

"Of course it's useful!" Pang Tong said firmly.

"My lord, don't underestimate yourself."

"We occupy Yuzhou, so there is a reason for us to occupy it."

"Think about it..."

He lowered his voice and said.

"Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou is already old, and he prefers the young to the old."

"When the order of seniority is lost, there will inevitably be civil strife."

"That will be our best opportunity."

"Own the land of Jingzhou, expand Jiaozhou in the south, and advance to Yizhou in the west."

"When the time comes, we can develop it and barely share the world with Tang Hai."

Liu Bei gradually regained some confidence after Pang Tong's words.

His originally bent back slowly straightened.

"In addition, Tang Hai has been very active recently." Pang Tong continued to analyze.

"They who occupy Jizhou, Bingzhou and Yangzhou will definitely develop."

"There is absolutely no chance to go on an expedition in a short period of time."

"This is a great opportunity left for us."

"My lord should immediately occupy most of Yuzhou and attack Nanyang."

"After gaining the territory, win the hearts of the people."

"Develop the military to the greatest extent."

"Then make plans to go south."

"As for Tanghai in the north..."

He drew out a long tone to focus Liu Bei's attention again.

"There are also Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Sili and other places that need to be gathered."

"It is impossible to have too many ideas about Yuzhou in a short period of time."

"Looking at the development history of Tanghai, Liu Yu can be summed up in one word."

Liu Bei asked, "What word?"

"Stable." Pang Tong replied.

"Liu Yu never does anything he is not sure of."

"Moreover, he always takes action only when he has enough strength to crush others."

"Look at Yuan Shao in Jizhou, that is the best evidence."

"He was beaten so hard that he had no power to fight back."

"If it weren't for the lord sending people to keep a close eye on the situation in the north."

"We would never have known that Yuan Shao, who seemed so powerful, was so vulnerable."

"Alas!" Liu Bei sighed.

When he thought of Tang Hai's strength, he felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest.

It made it difficult for him to breathe.

He shook his head continuously, trying to get rid of the fear in his mind.

Liu Bei regrouped and shouted an order: "Speed ​​up the march!"

"Try to reach Runan in the shortest time!"

He had absolute authority in the team, and once the order was issued, all the soldiers rushed forward with all their strength.

The soldiers all knew that they could live a good life following Liu Bei!

At least they could beat the local tyrants to vent their anger.

Although Xinye was a small city, there were landlords there before.

But they were all beaten to ashes after Liu Bei arrived.

Even if they had a backer in Xiangyang, it would not work.

All the landlords in the city were wiped out by Liu Bei.

The seized grain piled up like a mountain.

The people of Xinye were so excited at that time.

They all cursed those damn landlords to death.

When Liu Bei distributed grain and land to them.

Liu Bei instantly gained a foothold in Xinye.

He became the most popular official among the local people.

And now, Liu Bei took them to Yuzhou to continue to fight the local tyrants.

This made all the soldiers very happy.

They really hoped that Liu Bei could keep fighting with them.

Beat all the local tyrants in the world.

...

The city of Runan was in chaos.

Without the government, all kinds of ruthless people were everywhere.

Robbery and fighting were common in the city.

For safety, the people all hid in their homes and dared not go out.

In families with many men,It was relatively safe.

Those with fewer men were trembling.

They were afraid of being targeted by bad guys.

"Oh no!!"

"The government troops are coming outside the city!!"

Someone was shouting on the street, and the people hiding at home rushed to the gate to listen.

"What? The damn government troops are coming again?"

"Are they sent by Yuan Shu to suppress the rebellion?"

"Run! Those dog soldiers must have levied heavy taxes, robbed everything in the house, and arrested us to be soldiers!"

As the news spread, Runan City became chaotic in an instant.

The local people were extremely afraid of the government troops.

After the court collapsed, order also collapsed.

Let alone the law, even the local government did not follow any legal principles.

Those soldiers were more terrible than locusts in the sky.

Return home to collect what can be packed.

The people are ready to flee.

Although they were reluctant to give up the house where they had lived for generations, what else could they do?

If they didn't run, they would die.

The people of Runan swarmed towards the city gate.

The streets were so crowded that it was impossible to get through.

People squeezed and pushed each other.

Some people had bad intentions.

Together with a few men, they robbed some old people and women who had no ability to protect themselves on the street.

They specifically picked those whose packages looked bulgy.

Those who brought more things.

Those who had fewer men at home.

Such actions made the streets of Runan City even more chaotic.

Crying, begging, scolding, and cursing filled the entire city.

No one cared about those who knelt on the street and cried.

No one cared about those who crawled on the ground and begged for mercy.

The scolding person kicked the begging person away, picked up the package in his hand and walked away.

He forced his way out of the crowd, relying on his height and strength to get out of the city first.

Everything came to an abrupt end when a group of cavalry suddenly appeared at the city gate.

The people who were blocked at the city gate retreated one after another.

But they were pushed there by the people who were still pouring in from behind, unable to move.

They could only tremble at the sharp weapons in the hands of the cavalry occupying the city gate.

Go out, but can't go out.

Go back, but can't come back.

The people squeezed in the front row had tears in their eyes.

They were extremely scared, afraid that the officers and soldiers would drop their sharp weapons in the next moment.

Harvest all their lives.

"Don't be afraid, fellow villagers of Runan!"

"I, Liu Xuande, am back again!!"
