Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest!

"Sun Ce is dead...dead?!"

Liu Biao sat paralyzed on the ground in the military tent, with a look of horror on his face, and the veins on his neck were bulging out, making Liu Jingsheng, who was originally quite elegant, look extremely ferocious.

After finally digesting the news, , Liu Biao felt panic and anger in his heart, and shouted at Huang Zu's messenger:"Didn't I order Huang Zu to send troops, horses, and food to support Sun Ce?

How come Sun Ce was defeated and killed by Cao Ang!

He, Huang Zu, had been fighting for many years. Could it be that he was blind? He actually watched Sun Ce's defeat!"

Liu Biao would never look like this on ordinary days.

But recently Liu Biao has received bad news one after another. He finally learned that Sun Ce was marching to Lujiang and wanted to use Sun Ce's hand to contain Cao Ang.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he turned around. Then he got the news that Sun Ce was defeated and killed?

How could Liu Biao bear this?

Naturally, he took out his anger on Huang Zu, thinking that Huang Zu was too slow to send troops and failed to respond, which was why Sun Ce was defeated and killed.

Huang Zu's envoy did not dare to argue with Liu Biao, but said with a grimace:"My lord, please calm down. Huang Taishou sent troops late. He sent troops to Jiangxia as soon as he received the lord's order."

However, before leaving the Jiangxia border, they learned that Sun Ce was defeated by Cao Ang.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ang ambushed the Hussars and the Huainan New Army to the north of Shu City. When Sun Ce captured Shu City, he suddenly rushed out, causing chaos in the Jiangdong Army.

At this time, Cao Ang led Liu Yao's tens of thousands of troops to attack from the direction of Yuzhang County and directly defeated Sun Ce...

Cao Ang's troops were so unpredictable and lightning-fast that Huang Taishou was too late. Support!"

The envoy narrated the whole story, which made Liu Biao's anger towards Huang Zu disappear a little, but the shock in his heart only increased instead of lessening!

"What! Then Cao Ang actually moved all Liu Yao's troops here?

Could it be that Liu Yao was dead and Cao Ang captured Liu Yao's troops?"

Liu Biao said in shock and anger, with deep unexpectedness and unwillingness.

Before that, he also got the news that Liu Yao was seriously ill and was about to die, and he was even happy.

Yuzhang County is on the edge of Jingzhou Last year, Liu Biao took advantage of the death of the former prefect Zhou Shu and asked his subordinate Zhuge Xuan to be the governor of Yuzhang, hoping to take control of Yuzhang.

As a result, Cao Cao sent Zhu Hao from Xudu to lead the governor of Yuzhang. Liu Yao, who was taken in by Liu Biao, chose to support Zhu Hao and drove away Zhuge Xuan, thus offending Liu Biao.

Later, Zhu Hao was killed by Zuo Rong, and Liu Yao killed Zuo Rong and took over Yuzhang County, leaving Liu Biao unable to do so. Not long ago, Liu Biao knew that Liu Yao was about to die of illness, and he felt that this was an opportunity.

After Liu Yao died of illness, he could recruit Liu Yao's old troops and annex Yuzhang County, but he did not expect that his plan had not yet come true. Liu Yao's troops were given 313 by Cao Ang?

This made Liu Biao unwilling and angry. He was even more shocked that Cao Ang was so fast and could accomplish so many great things in such a short period of time!

"Back to my lord, not only did Liu Yao not die, but he also recovered from his serious illness. I heard that he was cured by Cao Ang.

The soldiers and horses under his command were also handed over to Cao Ang on his own initiative by Liu Yao.……"

The messenger added another sentence, which made Liu Biao even more shocked and his whole body was numb!

"What kind of monster is this Cao Ang!

That's all if he has the skill of shooting, but he also has the power of bravery.

It’s enough to have the power of bravery, but also the magic and conspiracy!

Not only are gods and ghosts trying to conspire against you, but are they even so skilled in medicine?

Then all the people who were about to die of illness in Liu Yao were cured by Cao Ang?

Could it be that Cao Ang is as capable as Hua Tuo?"

Liu Biao rubbed his numb face, patted the dust and slowly stood up from the ground. He felt discouraged and unmotivated.

He used all kinds of moves vertically and horizontally, hoping to unite the princes to check and balance Cao Ang. However, he was repeatedly defeated by Cao Ang.

Not only did he fail to destroy Cao Ang, but he became more and more powerful!

This made Liu Biao really doubt that Cao Ang was the reincarnation of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, as some rumors said, and heaven and earth were helping him? If that were the case, why would Liu Biao fight so hard?

Although he had ambitions to conquer Xudu, he didn't have much ambition. He just wanted to protect Jingzhou in troubled times, so he would just attack in lieu of defending.

Without Cao Ang, why would Liu Biao waste his troops and food to contain Cao Cao?

Why not just gather his troops and rely on the water of Xianghan to defend Jingxiang?……

"Lord! Sun Ce has been killed by Cao Ang. Now no one in Jiangdong and Jiangxia can check and balance Cao Ang!

Once Cao Ang marches into Jiangxia from Lujiang and attacks Jingzhou, Jingxiang will be in danger!

The current plan is for the Lord to withdraw his troops and return to defend Jingxiang!"

Under the tent, counselor Kuai Yue said in a deep voice with a look of shock on his face that has not gone away.

As a famous scholar in Jingxiang and an important planner in Liu Biao's tent, Kuai Yue is not an ignorant and unscrupulous person.

From Sun Ce After the defeat, Kuai Yue immediately thought that if Cao Ang took advantage of the situation to attack Jingzhou, he would directly cut off the Jingzhou army's retreat, causing Liu Biao to be attacked from both sides by Cao Cao and Cao Ang's father and son!

"Yes, my lord, Jingxiang is the foundation of our army and we have to guard against it. Cao Ang first destroyed Yuan Shu, then killed Sun Ce, and even obtained Liu Yao's troops. He gathered many troops and horses, and now I'm afraid he has at least hundreds of thousands of troops. horse.

The number of troops left behind in Jingzhou was only one hundred thousand, and they were scattered among the counties.

If Cao Ang leads a large army to attack, I am afraid that one county alone will not be able to stop Cao Ang!"

"I would like to second my opinion and ask the lord to order the withdrawal of troops!"

Most of the civil and military officials in the tent also agreed with the advice.

After all, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou are almost all from Jingxiang local aristocratic families.

If their family is stolen by Cao Ang, how can they fight with peace of mind?

Liu Biao was also a little moved after hearing what Kuai Yue and others said.

But he was very unwilling to do so!

He had been fighting against Cao Cao for almost three months, and had invested a lot of troops and supplies.

Although his allies who had placed high hopes were repeatedly defeated by Cao Ang, fortunately. As a result, Yuan Shao is afraid that if Liu Biao withdraws and Yuan Shao attacks Xudu, there will be no one to restrain

Cao Cao and his son. Even if Liu Biao returns to Jingzhou, it will be too late. Will he be attacked?

But if Liu Biao doesn't return, he is afraid that Jingzhou will be attacked.

This puts Liu Biao in a dilemma.

"Lord! The general thought that if the lord really wanted to destroy Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son, he should not withdraw his troops!

If Yuan Shao sends troops to attack Cao Cao, and the lord has restrained Cao Cao here, he can help him. Attack from two sides, and with the troops from the four states of Hebei and Jingzhou, Cao Cao's army will be defeated.

Even if Cao Ang led his army to attack Jingzhou, Jingzhou still had 100,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city. How many cities could Cao Ang capture in a short period of time?

If Cao Ang dares to attack Jingzhou, he is afraid that his father Cao Cao, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other Cao family territories will be broken up and divided by the lord and Yuan Shao.

At that time, the lord will join forces with Yuan Shao and return to Jingzhou to defeat Cao Ang. It is no problem at all!"

"If Cao Ang learns that his base is lost, he may not have to return to Jingzhou, but Cao Ang will have to return to Yuzhou.

Therefore, the general thought that the lord should not withdraw his troops, but should go all out!

Cao Ang is a dragon and a phoenix among men. He is only weak at a young age, but he has the potential to swallow up the sky and is a great trouble to the princes of the world!

As long as the Cao family and his son can be destroyed, even if Jingzhou is destroyed, it will still be worth it!"

Just when Liu Biao was in a dilemma, a general in the tent stood up and said.

I saw that this man was only in his twenties. He had bright eyes, a tall head and horns, and a tall bone structure, which gave people the impression that he was quite handsome. He has a sense of aggression, so he is not likeable.

He is one of Liu Biao's subordinates, Wei Yan.

Because of his appearance and demeanor, he often makes shocking remarks to persuade Liu Biao to be aggressive, so he is regarded as pretentious by Liu Biao. Recklessness is of no use, and is just for future use.

But at this moment, Wei Yan's words really speak to Liu Biao's heart.

He is really not willing to retreat now, if he can really unite with Yuan Shao, destroy Cao Cao, and take over Yuzhou. , then Cao Ang is like a duckweed without roots, which can be broken by returning to the army!

Before Liu Biao opened his mouth, Kuai Yue and others shouted:"Wei Yan, you are a one-sided general, what do you know about the art of war!"

If the foundation of Jingzhou is not protected, even if you kill Cao Cao, what's the use?"

"Yuan Shao had previously sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight without sending troops.

I am afraid that now that he is using troops against Gongsun Zan, he may not send troops to attack the Cao family and his son.

If Yuan Shao does not send troops, our Jingzhou army will stay away from Jingxiang and station troops outside.

Once Cao Ang attacks Jingzhou first, then attacks from behind, and attacks Cao Cao from both sides, our entire Jingzhou army will be wiped out!

You, Wei Yan, are young and energetic, and you only have a pretentious attitude. How do you understand the general trend of the world?"

"that is! You, Wei Yan, must be crazy for wanting to make meritorious deeds. You usually make shocking remarks. My lord doesn’t care about you, but now you dare to make such arrogant remarks in front of my lord!"

"My lord, such a madman cannot be left under the tent to be used. Please order my lord to kill him!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Jingzhou civil and military officials criticized Wei Yan with all their words, and they wanted to tear Wei Yan apart.

Facing the crowd's scolding, although Wei Yan looked unhappy, But there was no fear at all:"Lord, my plan is a truly good one!

If the lord uses my strategy, he can kill Cao Cao first, then Cao Ang, separate himself from Yuan Shao in the north and south, and gain half of the world.

If my lord doesn't use my strategy, even if he withdraws to Jingzhou temporarily and keeps his foundation, within a few years, Jingzhou will be owned by the Cao family and his son!"

Wei Yan's words fell into Liu Biao's ears. Although Liu Biao felt that there was some truth in his heart, he was a little unhappy with the tone and determination of Wei Yan's words, and his face immediately turned dark. What's more, all the civil and military personnel in Jingzhou were almost They all unanimously suggested withdrawing to Jingzhou. Although Liu Biao was unwilling to do so, he was somewhat moved, so Liu Biao flicked his sleeves and said,"Come here, take Wei Yan out!""

Wei Yan saw that Liu Biao did not accept his loyal advice, but instead wanted to obey the civil and military forces of Jingzhou. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and protested loudly:"My lord does not accept his loyal advice, so I am afraid that the foundation of Jingzhou will be owned by others!

The lord and son will be imprisoned by the Cao family and his son!"

It's okay that Wei Yan didn't say this. Once he said this, no matter how good-tempered Liu Biao was, he couldn't hold it back.

He immediately said angrily:"Go out and hit him with fifty military sticks!""

"My lord, if you don’t accept your loyal advice, you’ll regret it too much!"

When Wei Yan was forked out, he was still shouting loudly, but his voice became farther and farther away, and soon he stopped shouting, leaving only the muffled sound of the military stick falling.

"well!"

Liu Pian sighed heavily and was about to order the withdrawal of troops.[]

At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside the tent:"Your lord, Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, heard that Yuan Shu was killed by Cao Ang, and mobilized all the soldiers and horses from the four states of Hebei, threatening to avenge his brother.

Now the troops are divided into several groups, with a total of 550,000 soldiers and horses. , are heading south.

Their envoys have arrived outside the camp and asked the Lord to attack Cao Cao and his son together!"

Liu Biao was shocked when he heard this report!

He was unwilling to withdraw his troops, and because he was not sure whether Yuan Shao would send troops to attack Cao, he did not dare to take risks.

Now that his envoy has not returned from Jizhou, he has received the envoy from Yuan Shao. This undoubtedly shows that Yuan Shao's envoy may have been sent earlier than his own envoy!

In this way, Liu Biao cooperates with Yuan Shao and has great potential to destroy Cao!

So Liu Biao hurriedly said:"Please invite the envoy to come in!"

Soon, Yuan Shao's envoy arrived at the tent and conveyed to Liu Biao the news of Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops and the intention of Liu Biao to attack Cao Cao.

When it was confirmed that Yuan Shaoqi's army of 550,000 men was going south, Liu Biao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"With the thunderous power of Jizhou Mu's army of five to six hundred thousand men, plus our Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Cao Cao can be defeated overnight!

Then I will return to Jingzhou without delay!"

Liu Biao was overjoyed and immediately agreed to Yuan Shao's proposal to join forces to attack Yuzhou and decided not to withdraw his troops for the time being.

Although Jingzhou civil and military officials were a little worried about Jingzhou, they thought about it after learning that Yuan Shao's large army was heading south. Cao Cao will be defeated quickly, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou will be defeated, leaving Cao Ang alone.

Even if Cao Ang invades Jingzhou, he will only capture a few counties, and will be destroyed by the Jingzhou army and Yuan Shao's army who returned from the victory. Agree with Liu Biao's opinion.

In the end, the decision of the king and ministers of Jingzhou was the same as Wei Yan's suggestion just now.

However, Wei Yan was thrown out and received a military stick in vain.

Wei Yan originally thought that after his lord Liu Biao changed his mind, He must have realized that Wei Yan's words were unfavorable to his ears, so he tried to comfort him, but from the beginning to the end, he never received a word of sympathy from Liu Biao and Jingzhou Wenwu.

But he spoke too frankly, which made Liu Biao unhappy.

Therefore, even if Liu Biao and others changed their minds, no one mentioned Wei Yan, and they seemed to have deliberately ignored it.

This made Wei Yan feel discouraged and secretly thought that although Liu Biao was named Ba Jun, There are some methods and magnanimity, but in the end he is not the true master...

Of course, Cao Ang would not know about the changes in Liu Biao's Jingzhou military camp, but he could also sense some things.

For example, when Liu Biao just learned about Sun Ce's death, The negative energy of anger and shock was transmitted to Cao Ang's system panel, letting Cao Ang know that Liu Biao must have known about this.

Then Liu Biao had only two choices, either to withdraw his troops from Yuzhou and return to Jingzhou, or to take over. After hearing the news about Yuan Shao's alliance, he planned to take a gamble, but no matter which choice Liu Biao made, it would not affect Cao Ang's attack on Jingzhou, because

Cao Ang would only be faster than Liu Biao!

Zhang Zhao had just brought the bodies of Sun Ce, Huang Gai and others back to Jiangdong for burial two days ago, and now they are here again.

Seeing Zhang Zhao leave and come back, Cao Ang was also a little surprised:"Sir, what's the matter with this visit?"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said:"My lord was very grateful to the hussar general after he welcomed back the body of the late master."

I was ordered to bring another gift to thank the general.

After greeting Cao Ang for a few words, Zhang Zhao smiled and said:"General Rong, my lord has reached the age of marriage. In the early years, the lord made a promise to marry my lord. In Lujiang County, there was a girl named Bu, who was gentle and virtuous." , can be my lord’s wife.

Now that my Lord has established a career, he will start a family.

I sincerely ask the general to let the Bu family go to Jiangdong to marry our lord so that he can pass on the inheritance to his heirs.……"

After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Cao Ang with a flattering expression, as if waiting for Cao Ang to agree.

After all, Sun Quan, the new lord of Jiangdong, was very concerned about the woman named Bu Lianshi.

When Sun Ce saw Da Qiao's beauty in Lujiang, he decided to accept Da Qiao and let Zhou Yu accept Xiao Qiao.

He also heard that Bu Lianshi was very beautiful, so he made an appointment with his younger brother Sun Quan, and when Sun Quan was old enough, he took Bu Lianshi as his wife.

When Sun Quan was in Lujiang, he once saw Bu from a distance, and he remembered it deeply in his heart.

Now that he has ascended the throne and is secure, he is full of thoughts and desires. Taking the last words of his late brother Sun Ce as an excuse, he wants to get married as a trainer.

Opposite Zhang Zhao, Cao Ang smiled sheepishly:"It's not that I, Cao Zixiu, don't give face to your husband, I really don't know about it.

The Xianbu family of the Lujiang family and I served on the pillow mat. We had already entered the bridal chamber yesterday, so I'm afraid it's going to happen." Let your lord down……"

As Cao Ang said this, he saw a beautiful woman with gentle eyes coming out from behind the screen to offer Cao Ang some tea.

Zhang Zhao also recognized this woman. She was the Bu Lianshi who was as famous as Er Qiao in Lujiang...

However, at this moment, this woman was dressed in a woman's bun. She was obviously a woman, and she complied with Cao Ang's words.

This made Zhang Zhao's face freeze for a moment...

His former master Sun Ce wanted to marry Da Qiao, but Cao Ang intercepted him...

Now his master Sun Quan, the Zhongyi Bu trainer, was also intercepted by Cao Ang...

Jiangdong The two lords and brothers were all cheated by Cao Ang?.
