Chapter 161 Yuan Shu Attacks
"Zhang Cai, settle them down, I have some things to do." Gao Shun ordered, and then left the barracks.

If you want to find someone to get news, you can't find ordinary people. What do they know? The best places to get news are taverns and teahouses.

Gao Shun found a tavern, and as soon as he sat down, a waiter came up to talk to him.

Because Gao Shun changed his armor and put on ordinary clothes, he looked similar to ordinary people, that is, he was taller and his skin was better. He looked like a wealthy family.

"Guest officer, what would you like to order?" Xiaoer came up and asked courteously.

"Don't worry, I'll ask you, do you know..." Gao Shun just wanted to ask, but then stopped.

How should he ask Xiao Er if he knows the relationship between Liu Bei and that old man?Or ask if Liu Bei has reached any deal with you people?
It seems that it is inappropriate to ask.

Xiao Er looked at Gao Shun who was speaking halfway, and was also dumbfounded, and then said: "This guest officer, you...?"

"Oh, that's it. I just came from Xiapi City. I just saw many people at the door welcoming the army. What happened?" Gao Shun changed his identity and said, "We met the army there. We all hurriedly avoided it, why are you still trying to get closer?"

"Guest officer, would you like to order something first..." Xiao Er didn't start a conversation, but asked again.

Now Gao Shun understood that it turned out that he couldn't ask questions without ordering something, then he chuckled, ordered two pots of medium-priced wine, and said, "Now we can talk."

"Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment." Xiao Er first ran to the counter and said something, and then came back and said politely: "Guest officer, you just came here, it's normal if you don't know, the army that came this time Not led by ordinary people, but led by General Liu."

"General Liu is...?" Gao Shun pretended to be puzzled.

"General Liu is Liu Bei and Liu Shijun. It is because he is here this time that someone will greet him. Otherwise, we would not dare to go out when other troops come." Xiaoer wiped the table and said:
"The last time General Liu came was two months before you. At that time, Mr. Lin on our side led some people to ask General Liu to stay and be our state shepherd. It's a pity."

"What a pity?" Gao Shun said.

"At that time, the officer seemed to be, his surname was Cao. He said that General Liu had made great contributions, and he was going to the capital to be interviewed by His Majesty, and then he wanted to reward General Liu. We will talk about the state pastor later.

This time he came back with an army. We thought he was here to be a state shepherd. We didn’t expect it. Alas, it’s a pity that General Liu is such a good person, and he is good to us Xuzhou people, but he can’t stay here for us all the time. Being an official is really..."

Gao Shun didn't pay attention to what Xiaoer said later, he only paid attention to what was said earlier.

That is, the old man who greeted Liu Bei at the gate of the city just now did this in front of Cao Cao?Xiao Er said that the last time they came, it should be that Cao Cao led the army to Xudu, passed through Xuzhou, and rested in Xuzhou.

That is, the old man made a request in front of Cao Cao last time.Cao Cao refused to leave Liu Bei as state shepherd.

Is there such a thing in history?I don't think so.

Gao Shun tapped his head, he didn't remember such a passage in the romance.

In fact, there is, but it's not his fault for his poor memory, because that paragraph was introduced in just a few sentences. It can be said that it was passed by in one stroke. It's normal that he didn't notice it, and it's not an important plot.

However, although Gao Shun only knew about this matter, he could tell from a few words that Liu Bei must have ordered it.

It should be that Liu Bei found the old man and asked the old man to plead in front of Cao Cao, but he failed.

Of course, this is also considered a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer. The old man will definitely not help Liu Bei for no reason, and he also has his own interests to seek.

In this way, Liu Bei might have some ideas. Gao Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, and then finished the wine that Xiaoer brought up.

………………

Gao Shun didn't participate in the subsequent events, and he stayed in his barracks obediently.

Because Liu Bei is the commander-in-chief, Liu Bei is responsible for most of the things this time, dispatching spies, observing the location of the ambush, etc., are all in charge of Liu Bei, and have nothing to do with Gao Shun.

During this period, Gao Shun also went to chat with the two generals Zhu Ling and Luzhao several times, but they didn't and didn't talk about any too taboo topics. They just talked about how to fight, how to fight and so on.

Gao Shun didn't know whether Liu Bei had planted eyeliner around him, but he didn't care whether it made any difference, anyway, he didn't plan to do any tricks at this time.

Gao Shun did not take any action in Xuzhou, but Liu Bei was different.

In addition to some necessary work, he also held a big banquet and invited many local gentry and officials.

Governor Che Zhou, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others all came to see, and the old man Lin who blocked the way before also led some famous old people to participate.

Of course, the three of Gao Shun were also called, but they only ate and drank there, and didn't care about Liu Bei's small movements.

After all, there is no way to care about it, and there is no ability to stop Goldman Sachs. Anyway, there are hundreds of soldiers, and the two of them have dozens of personal guards in their hands. It is difficult to protect themselves. It is better to wait and return to Xudu.

If you are a monster moth now, I am afraid that many of them will not be able to go back. Zhu Ling, Luzhao and the two of them are very clear about this.

This is the opposite of Cao Cao's intention. Cao Cao sent them here to keep Liu Bei in check and not let Liu Bei take charge of the army alone, but who would have thought that they would be suppressed by Liu Bei to death.

The same is true for Gao Shun, of course Gao Shun is not in the mood to prepare, it would be nice to be honest.

But they didn't stay for long, Liu Bei's timing was very accurate, they arrived in Xuzhou before they could rest, and within ten days a spy reported Yuan Shu's news to Liu Bei.

Then Liu Bei summoned the three supervisors.

"Yuan Shu is too ridiculous. His subordinates Lei Bo and Chen Lan have all gone to Songshan, and now his power is even weaker." Liu Bei said lightly, but the joy in his eyes did not hide it.

The smaller Yuan Shu's power is, the better it is of course for him, so that he can achieve results with minimal losses.

"Oh, Yuan Shu will definitely not die a good death that day when he proclaims himself emperor!" Zhu Ling said disdainfully.

Although they have their own hearts, they all have only one point of view on Yuan Shu: a traitor, everyone hates it.

Now that Yuan Shu has lost power, everyone is naturally happy to see this scene.

"Yeah." Liu Bei nodded, and then said: "Yuan Shao asked Yuan Shu to take Yuxi to join him, so Yuan Shu packed up some palace items, and he should be heading to Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou? Didn't that happen to hit us? This Yuan Shu is really asking for his own death." This is Lu Zhao's speech.

Contrary to the two of them, Gao Shun remained silent and did not speak.

Liu Bei didn't care, looked at Gao Shun slightly, and said with a glance: "This time I called you to talk about this matter. I don't have any generals and advisers around me now. If I want to keep Xuzhou, I will have to look at you. After returning to many , I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of Duke Cao."

"It's easy to say, it's Cao Gong's order, and we definitely don't dare to neglect it." The two generals said quickly.

Of course, it's not that they didn't know about the dispute between Liu Bei and Xu Zhu that day, otherwise they wouldn't be talking like they are now.

But since Liu Bei said so, it was time to see off the guests. Gao Shun and the three left the barracks after leaving.

"Brother Yi Cong, what do you think we should do?" Zhu Ling suddenly asked as the three of them walked side by side.

"What should I do? What does General Zhu mean?"

Gao Shun pretended not to understand and questioned.

"Hehe, General Gao, don't be so confused." Zhu Ling laughed twice, and he stopped being polite to Gao Shun, and said directly: "Do you know what I mean? Are we going to do our best or not?"

"This is Cao Gong's order, how can there be such a saying that you don't do your best?" Gao Shun was shocked, but he still pretended to be calm.

"You are dishonest." Lu Zhao on the side took over the topic: "Although we were not there that day, there were still quite a few soldiers present, although they couldn't hear what you said clearly, But it can still be judged according to the form of the scene.

Is it nothing more than a dispute between Liu Bei and General Xu Zhu?What is there to hide?Don't you think so?General Gao. "

Gao Shun was taken aback, and then looked at the two of them, both of them looked at him with half-smiles, and they all understood.

It turned out that they didn't know what happened that day, they just pretended not to know, and they had already passed their anger in private.

Sure enough, a mountain is higher than a mountain. I didn't expect that you, who seem to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, have such thoughts. Alas, I still underestimated you. It is not a soft stubble who can survive in the Three Kingdoms.

"Since everyone knows it, it doesn't matter if we talk about it honestly and unfairly. In this case, why don't you two follow me to my military camp to have a detailed discussion? There are many people on this road, so it is inconvenient to talk about it."

Gao Shun took a deep breath and said flatly.

Zhu Ling and Luzhao looked at each other without fear, and said, "Please."

It's not that they are brave people with high skills, but they just know that Gao Shun will not do anything to them.

One is that they don't have any conflicts of interest, so Gao Shun is not allowed to do anything to them; two is that they need their assistance to defend the city this time, otherwise it will not be easy to rely on Liu Bei and Gao Shun; three is that if Gao Shun kills For the two of them, Liu Bei might confess Gao Shun to protect himself.

So they naturally dared to go to the military camp with Gao Shun, and there must be less eyeliner in Gao Shun's military camp. Of course, this eyeliner refers to Liu Bei's eyeliner.

Soon arrived at Gao Shun's barracks.In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Shun didn't buy any food and drink, so he pulled up a few chairs and sat in front of the table, discussing.

"I'm new here, and I don't have much experience, so I might as well listen to the opinions of the two of you first." Gao Shun first set his sights on the two of them.

"General Gao, why should you be humble? Although you are young, your record is solid. We all know it." Zhu Ling once again pushed the topic to Gao Shun.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself." Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Gao Shun was straightforward, and said directly: "I think we should still contribute."

"What's the reason?" Zhu Ling asked, Zhu Lu and the two generals looked at each other.

"Just like what you two said to Liu Bei, this is Duke Cao's order. No matter what, Duke Cao's order is always the greatest. He told us to ambush Yuan Shu, so we have to complete the task of ambush Yuan Shu properly. , everything else is secondary." Gao Shun paused, and then said:

"Whatever Liu Bei wants, then let him go. The three of us should be in the united front, and we are just supervising the army and cooperating with Liu Bei's actions. Why make our own decisions!"

"Although that's what I said, if something really happened, we wouldn't be able to bear the consequences." Lu Zhao said dully.

"What consequences, consequences, what does it have to do with us?" Gao Shun pretended to be surprised and said:

"As I said just now, what is our mission? It is to ambush the elements. Our goal is this. As for other things, what does it have to do with us? We are just supervising the army. Does Mr. Cao expect the three of us to have no soldiers?" Will the supervising army come to check and balance Liu Bei?
The total number of soldiers and horses in the hands of the three of us is less than 1000, while Liu Bei has an army of [-], and during this time in Xuzhou, he has already recruited some gentry, rich men and officials here, and he has not been idle in the army , Now the army may have been almost controlled by him, even if Liu Bei really has Yixing, what can we do? "

Gao Shun knew what they were worried about, so he focused on this point: "Mr. Cao has his own plans for this arrangement. Since he released Liu Bei to lead the troops, it is naturally because of Mr. Cao's reasons. We Why do subordinates think so much?
Don't think that it's just what you saw or heard. Liu Bei and Xu Zhu might just have some disputes based on Cao Gong's order. Don't scare yourself. The most urgent thing is to do your own job well. "

Gao Shun's remark made the two of them calm down and let them start to calculate again.

Of course, Gao Shun knew in his heart that he didn't expect these two soldiers to listen to him honestly. He just hoped that these two would not hold back, in case something unexpected happened during the war. , it is inevitable that I will not take the blame for them.

If the two of them were in conflict with each other during the battle, resulting in heavy losses or direct failure of the troops, then I would not be able to escape.

If it was more serious, the two of them fled directly back to Xudu because they were worried that Liu Bei would attack them. Haha, then Liu Bei would not attack them, but himself.

Of course, this is only a small probability situation. After all, they still have to take Cao Cao's mission to heart.
