Three Kingdoms: Shocked, my father-in-law is Cao Cao!

Inside Pei County.

Bursts of aroma wafted out from the county mansion. It was the smell of stewed chicken. If you sniffed it carefully, it should have added ginseng and other extremely beneficial things.

As the most powerful man in Xuzhou at the moment, and also one of the most successful post-[-]s generation there, Liu Bei has the right to enjoy these "luxury" foods.

Although he thinks that he can't finish the food every time, it is a waste and a sin, which runs counter to the frugal style he advocates...

"Brother, why don't you eat such a delicious food?" Zhang Fei, who was serving at the side, was already drooling just by smelling it.

Seeing the great pain in Zhang Fei's eyes but not being able to eat the chicken, Liu Bei simply fulfilled his desire.

"This chicken is too big, I can't finish it, if Yide wants to eat it."

Zhang Fei definitely shouldn't miss such a good thing, and he would eat it as soon as he reached out to grab it.

"Third brother, you are so strong and still need to eat chicken? Give it back to big brother quickly."

Guan Yu stroked his beard, and with just a sharp look in his eyes, he made his younger brother stop this impolite behavior immediately.

"Okay, second brother, since third brother wants to eat, let him eat."

Liu Bei held the copper cup and handed it to Zhang Fei.

After getting the approval of his elder brother, he began to feast on it with peace of mind.

In this era of scarcity of materials, the three brothers in high positions have to repeatedly humbly even a chicken.

Seeing the mess in front of the third brother, Guan Yu shook his head helplessly, no matter how old the third brother was in front of them, he was still so forthright.

Suddenly it occurred to me that there should be some important things here tonight.

"Brother, I don't know why you called us here tonight?"

Liu Bei took out a letter of military information and handed it to him, "The border county magistrate sent someone to send important information. Perhaps one of Cao Jun has crossed the border and headed straight for Xuzhou Mansion."

Guan Yu is worthy of a battle-tested experience, and this kind of situation seems to be commonplace for him.

"Brother, if it's true, let's gather our troops immediately and take the initiative to attack while the enemy's foothold is not stable!"

Zhang Fei drank the chicken soup as well, as if he was still savoring the deliciousness left behind.

"Aren't there just a few Cao troops? Watch me, Zhang Yide, lead people to kill them all!"

"En." Liu Bei nodded, with a gratified smile on his face. These two guys are brothers, but they are not limited to brothers, they are also right-hand men.

"Yide, you have to start the assembly of the army tomorrow, don't delay, although the enemy may have just entered the country not long ago, we can't take it lightly.

Be sure to prepare for the worst, they will attack here at the earliest three days. "

Zhang Fei got up to compose, his tone full of confidence, "Don't worry brother, I can gather 1 horses within three days."

"Yun Chang, you will stay in Pei County for the time being. While you are in charge of the city defense, your family members and the like should also be closely guarded, so as not to cause accidental injury due to chaos during the war."

Guan Yu bowed, "Brother, I respect my brother's orders!"

Liu Bei also ordered that early in the morning, Mi Zhu and other advisers and generals would mobilize the people to strengthen the city wall and build fortifications.

Because Liu Bei himself has a high reputation in Xuzhou, the people all aspire to him, so if he has any needs, he doesn't need to give any gold, silver, money or food.

As long as he gives an order, the people will spontaneously bring tools to help, and the reward is only to take care of the food.

This is an incomparable and benevolent manifestation of other separatist princes.

All the preparations were properly arranged, and the unconvinced stomach protested against Liu Bei's giving away the chicken again after being relieved.

Hungry, hungry.

"Come here, see if there are any leftover pancakes and vegetable porridge left by the soldiers tonight in the camp, bring them and eat them with me."

The guard who responded outside the door was in a difficult situation, "This...Liu Shijun, why don't you tell the kitchen to make a new one for you? Lest you spoil your stomach and hurt your stomach by eating with us unknown people. Body."

"Hahaha, it's no problem for you to eat it. Is it poisonous if I eat it? You get it quickly, and if there is anything, I won't blame you."

With Liu Bei's words in mind, the guard dared to follow his orders.

That night, Liu Bei ate cold pancakes. Fortunately, the vegetable porridge was still warm so that he would not catch cold and hurt his body.

After dinner, wash up, and before going to bed for a while, Liu Bei did not forget to reply to the memorials sent by various places in the afternoon.

It's nothing more than some hard work saying that because of the long-term war, the people's livelihood is dying, and it can't be maintained.

Without exception, Liu Bei approved the words reduction or relief on it.

It was also handed over to the night duty officers overnight, and they were asked to start arranging immediately, the statistics that should be counted, and the shipments that should be shipped out of the warehouse.

Every second the speed increases, fewer people may starve to death.

It wasn't until the lady next to the voice urged him to go to bed earlier that he reluctantly stopped the brush and went to bed.

Thinking about Xuzhou's government affairs, Liu Bei felt sleepy after a while, and closed his eyes.

...

At dawn, before the crowing of the rooster had time to wake up Liu Bei and the soldiers, there were already bursts of noise outside the county mansion.

At first, Mrs. Gan Mi was afraid that the noise outside would wake up their common husband, so she first drew down the curtains. Maybe Liu Bei was really too tired, so she didn't wake him up.

"My lord, it's not good." The guards outside the door hurried to Liu Bei's tent.

"Hush, keep your voice down, Shi Jun is still resting, if you have any news, let's talk when you wake up."

"No, two ladies! Cao Jun is here!"

The soldier pointed in the direction of the city gate, his eyes full of fear.

Perhaps Liu Bei was extremely sensitive to the word "Cao", so he sat up straight in a jerk.

It also scared the two wives.

"What? How is this possible? It will take three days at the earliest for Cao Jun to reach this place! Are you sure you read it wrong?"

"Shijun, even if you give the villain a hundred cowards, you won't dare to speak nonsense."

Liu Bei is indeed a man who has seen big scenes. He has been in the rivers and lakes for many years. ,

——Could it be true?No, it should be Cao Jun's small troops, and the light cavalry raided us day and night to harass us.

"Quick, tell the city gate guards to stay behind closed doors, and be sure to pay attention to the safety of the city walls."

Liu Bei thought that everything would be fine as long as he persisted, but his next sentence almost caused him a cerebral hemorrhage.

The soldier's face was ashen, his hands were trembling, "Master, you should move quickly, just now Cao Jun has killed the city gatekeeper, broke through our zero-hour defense line and came straight here. "

Liu Bei's face turned pale instantly, but he was still unwilling to give up the city.

"How long can you hold on?"

The guard roughly estimated, "One hour at most."

Then he turned his head to look at the second lady Gan Mi, "The two ladies, please get on your horse quickly, General Jian (Jian Yong) is already waiting outside the door at any time."

"No, I can't leave like this. Where are Yun Changyide and the others? Tell them to retreat quickly."
