Chapter 431

Puyang City.

Looking at Puyang City in front of him, Liu Bei was filled with emotion.

At that time, the meritorious officials who pacified the Yellow turban together, Cao Cao and Liu Ye, the two prefectures of Qing and Xu, and Liu Ye, were heroes. Sun Wentai, known as the fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, was unfortunately killed when he attacked Jingzhou. At that time, countless feelings came to his mind.

"Big brother, go in. I'm afraid I'm in a hurry." Guan Yu reminds way.

After all, Liu Wei was not rude enough to get dressed

After that, they walk into the hall and find that Liu Ye's reception room is not very luxurious, even a little shabby. After Puyang was conquered, many buildings in the city were burned down. Liu Ye ordered urgent repairs, but he did not allow soldiers to build large-scale buildings.

A hearty laugh suddenly came: "ha ha ha ha, brother Xuande, Brother Yun, brother Yide and Zizhong are here. Please sit down quickly."

Looking up, Liu Bei and others can see that Liu Ye is dressed in military uniform, not in splendid clothes, but exudes a sense of bravery, which is no different from that of Linzi city.

"As plain as Liu Bei, I've seen Liu Qiqi." Liu Bei said respectfully.

Liu Ye laughs and goes down the steps. He holds Liu Bei's hand directly. He reproaches: "brother Xuande, you can call a certain character. Why be so polite?"

When Liu Bei saw Liu Ye, he was as ambitious as ever. He said with ease: "ha ha, you can't pay for the courtesy. After all, Yuqing is the general of the current Dynasty."

"Please have a seat, you are welcome." Jia Xu got up and said with a smile.

After a lot of noise, Liu Bei and others take their seats, while Liu Ye asks, "why did brother Xuande suddenly come to join us? And Zizhong has also come. Is it possible that Cao Cao has already conquered Xuzhou?"

Liu Ye has some doubts. After all, Cao Cao's first attack on Xuzhou ended in failure, although it was because Lv Bu copied Cao Cao's old nest. Now that Lu Bu is far away in Bingzhou to guard against Xianbei and Wuhuan, Cao Cao certainly does not have to worry about his old nest.

However, although Xuzhou is not as powerful as Cao Cao, it also has tens of thousands of elite Danyang soldiers, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are fierce generals. How could they fall so easily?

"Cao Ye was ashamed to use Liu's army to attack the city.

No wonder... In the original historical track, Guo Jia and Xun you gave advice to Cao Cao, broke the city of xiapi by attacking xiapi with water, and captured the flying general Lv Bu alive. Today, although Xun you and Guo Jia are both under their command, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai are also excellent strategists. Their resourcefulness naturally can also come up with water attack strategies.

"It's a pity that Mr. Tao's servant... Alas!" Liu Bei shook his head and suddenly remembered something. He took out a thin silk from his arms: "by the way, Yuqing, this is the seal letter of Xuzhou governor that Tao gave to Bei before he died. Please accept it on behalf of the imperial court."

"Oh?" Liu Ye winks at Guan Hai. Guan Hai immediately goes forward and takes the seal letter of Xuzhou governor from Liu Bei and gives it to Liu Ye.

"It's a pity..." Liu Ye stroked the seal of Xuzhou governor: "now that Cao Cao has captured Xuzhou, our army can't reach it. It's useless to have this seal of Xuzhou governor."

Zhang Fei, on one side, couldn't help it. He stood up and stared at Liu Ye and said, "Yuqing, I don't know if I should say something."

Liu Ye smiles: "if you have anything to say, it's not brother Yide I know."

"Well, I'll tell you." Why did Zhang Yuzhi, on behalf of the imperial court, ask for help from the emperor

Zhang Fei was puzzled. Liu Ye had pacified Bingzhou, exterminated Xiongnu and Li Kuo Si, and eliminated more than 100000 yellow turban thieves in Yanzhou in the first World War. His military might can be said to have shocked the whole world. Why didn't Liu Ye rescue Tao Qian?

Liu Ye said with a wry smile: "I say why. It turns out that brother Yide is in order to rescue Xuzhou."

"Yes, why didn't Yu Qing save Xuzhou?" Straight forward.

"As the saying goes, the three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Our army successively conquered Bingzhou and fought hard in the Central Plains. Before and after, the army consumed as much as 100000 stones of grain and grass, and Gongda had to report to me many times." Liu Ye shook his head and said, "it's not that the general was unwilling to rescue Xuzhou, but that the imperial army has no food and grass to rescue Xuzhou in a large scale."

"However, this will send a letter to Cao mengde, asking him to stop attacking Xuzhou. It seems that Meng de did not agree." Liu Ye sighs.

"So it is, all right." Zhang Fei also sighed and sat back.

"The army of the imperial court has been fighting for a long time this year. However, Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou without the permission of the imperial court can't be ignored. When our army has enough troops and enough food next year, we will definitely attack Xuzhou!" Liu Ye said solemnly.

Liu Bei rose abruptly with a look of solemnity: "if you don't give up, you are willing to be the vanguard, and lead the second younger brother, the third younger brother and the Danyang soldiers as the pioneers to pacify Xuzhou and eliminate Cao Cao for the imperial court."

Liu Ye nodded: "good to say, Xuande will certainly be the vanguard. But before that, brother Xuande doesn't have to worry. He'd better go to Luoyang to see his majesty first. ""Newspaper!"

Liu Ye hasn't finished his words, but suddenly a sentry Fei rushes in with an impatient expression.

"Chariot general, the latest information, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Shangcai, and the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Ji, was captured by Yuan Shu. Now, most of the counties and counties in Yuzhou have fallen into Yuan Shu's hands."

Liu Ye is furious: "Yuan Shu is a thief! Even ignoring the imperial court

Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou at least has a cover, that is, Cao song's death, revenge for his father is also common sense. Yuan Shu, on the other hand, attacked many counties of Yuzhou without even an excuse. It was really rude.

Jia Xu stepped forward and warned in a low voice: "general, our army's food and forage is really poor. Even if we want to send troops, we can't do anything."

Hearing this, Liu Ye frowned, and suddenly his eyes brightened. He said to Jia Xu, "Wenhe, how about letting Xuande lead the plain army and Danyang army under his command to enter Yuzhou and raise food and forage for our army to fight against Yuan Shu?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and nodded slowly: "this plan is feasible. Now that Cao Cao conquers Xuzhou, Yuan Shu's territory borders on Cao Cao. At that time, Zhang Xun will be ordered to send troops, and sun CE will send troops to attack Yangzhou. In this way, Yuan Shu will fight on three sides. All Guan Zhang under Liu Bei's command are fierce generals. Danyang soldiers are brave and good at fighting. Although the number is not large, the general can order Liu Bei to recruit troops on his own. "

Liu Ye nodded and turned around: "brother Xuande, listen to me!"

"Liu Bei obeys orders." Liu Bei bowed his hands and listened.

"Now Liu Bei is appointed governor of Yuzhou, general Zuo. He leads his headquarters to attack the traitor Yuan Shu, and he can recruit troops in Yuzhou by himself."
