Chapter 432

Liu Bei solemnly said, "promise, I'll set out."

Liu Ye nodded, and he was not vague: "well, that's it. I won't leave Xuande. It's important to fight. After the situation in Yuzhou is relaxed, brother Xuande will go on pilgrimage to see his majesty again."

Liu Bei nodded and turned around and said, "Yunchang, Yide and Zizhong, you are going out with me to reorganize the troops and prepare to pull out the camp."

"Zilong." Liu Bei quite reluctantly took Zhao Yun's hand: "Zilong, Bei is very reluctant to give you up, but Bo Yao needs more help. You should take 500 cavalry back first."

Zhao Yun sighed: "it's a pleasure to be able to fight under the command of Xuande, but it's a pity..."

Liu Bei patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder with a smile: "don't worry, Zilong. When Hebei is over, you can come back." Liu Bei only said that Hebei was over, but he didn't say Gongsun Zan had won. In fact, he also saw that Gongsun Zan was in a declining situation. Zhao Yun's few hundred people could not change anything unless Liu Ye was willing to send troops to intervene. However, Liu Ye was short of food and grass, which naturally was impossible.

"In that case, the cloud left first."

Zhao Yun gave Liu Bei and Liu Ye a salute, and then slowly withdrew.

When Liu Ye sees Zhao Yun, he immediately stops him: "who is the name of the little general?"

Hearing Liu Ye's voice, Zhao Yun stopped and turned around and said, "in Changshan, Zhao Yun is Sima under general Baima. He has seen Liu Che riding."

It's Zhao Yun!

"It turned out that Zhao Zilong, a famous general in Hebei Province, who fought against Wen Chou for 60 rounds, was indeed a young hero." Liu ye praises him and thinks about how to keep Zhao Yun.

"General Baima is very powerful. Even if Jieqiao is temporarily defeated by Yuan Shao, it must be no problem to keep Youzhou in the future. Zilong doesn't have to hurry back. How about staying in the imperial court?" Liu Ye says.

Zhao Yun shook his head slightly: "thank you very much for your good intentions, but general Baima is now in the time of employing people. Yun is a member of Gongsun army. How can he be greedy for wealth and forget the meaning of Baima's righteousness?"

It's a pity that...

"well, in that case, there is not much left for this book. The cavalry under Zilong's command can go to Wenhe for three days' grain and forage, and then go north." Liu Ye said.

"In that case, thank you very much."

After that, Liu Ye looks at Liu Bei: "brother Xuande, I will give you 5000 stones of grain and grass. However, after brother Xuande arrives in Yuzhou, he will have to solve the problem of recruiting troops and buying horses and supplies."

Liu Bei nodded: "Yuqing, don't worry. Bei also knows that the government's grain and forage supply is difficult. It's good to allocate 5000 stones of grain and grass."

One stone of grain and grass is 27 Jin, which is enough for ordinary soldiers to eat for a month, while five thousand stone grain and grass is enough for Liu Bei's army and horses to eat for more than a month, and Liu Bei has to work hard for the rest.

On the same day, Zhao Yun led hundreds of iron cavalry from Hedong to return to Youzhou by way of Bingzhou, ready to meet Gongsun Zan.

After Liu Bei led the army to take a rest, he immediately went south from Yanzhou to Yingchuan county.

There are five prefectures in Yuzhou, among which Runan County, as the prefecture, covers the largest area, while the remaining four counties are Pei state, Liang state, Chen state and Yingchuan county.

Yingchuan county is located in the west of Yuzhou, and there are many aristocratic families and strong cultural atmosphere. For example, the Xun family, Zhong Yao, Guo Jia and other families are all in Yingchuan County, so Yuan Shu's military front has not yet spread here.

Liu Bei led more than 4000 troops into Yingchuan County, and at the same time issued an imperial edict to all counties in Yuzhou, declaring that he was the official governor of Yuzhou. Yuan Shu was rebellious.

Pei was the farthest away from Yingchuan county and had been controlled by Yuan Shu. The local soldiers of Liang state and Chen state were subordinates of Kong Fu, the former governor of Yuzhou. They tried their best to resist Yuan Shu's invasion. It was said that Liu Bei took office at the order of the imperial court, so he quickly asked Liu Bei for help.

Liu Bei didn't dare to be careless when he heard about it. He ordered Guan Yu, who had always been mature and prudent, to sit in Yingchuan county. He himself took Zhang Fei and 3000 Danyang soldiers to the state of Chen.

Yuan Shu sent his valiant general Lei Bo to lead 8000 troops to attack the state of Chen. Because Kong Gu, the governor of Yuzhou, was captured and killed, many cities in the state of Chen fell on the wind after hearing of Lei Bo's arrival. Only the garrisons of Chen county and Changping were still resisting, but the situation became more and more critical.

However, Lei Bo did not pay attention to the remaining two cities. Instead, he divided his troops to attack Chen county and Changping city. There were more than 4000 troops in each area. Chen county is the seat of Chen county. Therefore, Lei Bo personally supervised the army to attack Chen county.

After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately decided to cross Changping and lead 3000 Danyang soldiers to raid CHENXIAN county.

On September 15, Lei Bo was in charge of the siege of the city. Suddenly, the sound of war drums and horns in the northwest direction burst into the sky. Lei Bo looked in the direction of the sound and was shocked.

An army with the banner of Liu was suddenly killed by the wind. Three thousand Danyang soldiers were brave and good at fighting. After the battle in Xuzhou, they fought with tens of thousands of Cao's troops. The rest of them were the elite among the elite, with extraordinary combat effectiveness.

Liu Bei and Cao Bao lead the Danyang army, while Zhang Fei, with a roar, enters the battle with a Zhang Ba snake spear. Although there were a lot of troops in Leibo's headquarters, most of Yuan Shujun's troops came from Yuzhou, and most of them were strong soldiers from Yuzhou. Their fighting effectiveness was not strong, and Zhang Fei easily killed them in the battle.Zhang Fei is a fierce general of tens of thousands of enemies. If the elite soldiers form an array, they can also block Zhang Fei. However, Yuan Shujun's army is full of people, but they are all miscellaneous troops, which naturally can't resist.

Zhang Fei burst into Yuan Shu's army in one breath. He raised the blade of his hand, raised the spear in his hand, and cut Lei Bo's spear to death on the spot.

When Lei Bo was killed, the morale of Yuan Shu's army collapsed on the spot, while Liu Bei led 3000 Danyang soldiers in front of him. More than 4000 Yuan Shu's troops were defeated immediately. Most of the remaining people were captured alive except for more than 1000 who fled.

When he saw the city, he was glad to see the governor.

Liu Bei selected more than 1000 elite soldiers from CHENXIAN county and Yuan Shu's army into the army, and all the rest were released. This caused great discussion in Yuzhou, and many people were grateful.

On the other hand, Yuan Shujun, who besieged Changping, heard that Lei Bo, the general, had been killed, so he retreated to the south of Ruyang in panic. Liu Bei, a resourceful man, was prepared and led his troops to ambush 30 Li north of Ruyang.

When Yuan Shu's army retreated from Changping to the ambush site, Liu Bei suddenly beat the drum, and thousands of Danyang soldiers yelled out to kill them. Yuan Shu's army was immediately defeated and captured by Liu Bei. After selecting the elite, Liu Bei released the remaining prisoners.

However, after Liu's victory over Chen's Chengguo, many notices were issued by Chen.
