Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 533
With only one battle and two arrows, the power of the veteran Huang Zhong's bravery and shooting spread throughout Jingzhou in an instant, and at the same time spread to Kyushu at an unimaginable speed.

Frightened by Huang Zhong's invincible power and Song Jiang's mighty soldiers and horses, Pan Feng dared not go out of the city to fight easily, so he could only close the city gate and guard against the wall.

At the same time, Pan Feng was forced to send another urgent request to Liu Bei for help.

At present, Song Jiang has begun to send out troops to attack nearby cities. Pan Feng is blocked in Nanyang City by Huang Zhong and has no way to assist him. He can only hope that Liu Bei can lead his army to return as soon as possible.

Otherwise, after a long time, he would not even be able to defend Nanyang, and Liu Biao would really take back the three counties of Jingbei.

"I'm afraid this is going to embarrass my good uncle. The three counties in Jingbei are the foundation of Liu Bei's current foothold, but the natural dangers and fertile fields in the middle of Sichuan are the base of his dream. I will wait and see what Liu Bei will do. What kind of choice comes."

After reading the information, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Liu Bei and Wang Xuance were fighting against the mighty Cao Cao at Mianzhuguan. Although the fighting between the two sides has gradually eased recently, once Liu Bei's main force is lost, Cao Cao will definitely seize the opportunity to take down Mianzhu in the first battle and attack Chengdu directly.

The three counties in Jingbei had to be rescued, and Mianzhu Xiongguan had to be guarded. Liu Bei's mood was just as Liu Xie expected, feeling entangled and tormented.

Liu Bei sat in the military tent, a dim oil lamp in front of him reflected his somewhat tired face, holding Pan Feng's pleading letter in his hand, and read it over and over many times.

"Prepare with all my heart and soul, and sleep long and hard, but my fate is full of ups and downs. I really can't save the Han Dynasty from total chaos. I am in vain for the blood of the Han clan, and I am ashamed of my ancestors!"

Liu Bei sighed deeply, with unknown exhaustion and loneliness in his voice.

Cao Cao's resolute stalemate and Liu Biao's aggressiveness made him, an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, a little breathless.

"Liu Gong, my lord Wang Xuance, I wonder if Liu Gong is free to see you?"

At this moment, a magnetic voice sounded outside the camp. Liu Bei's eyes rolled slightly when he heard it, and he couldn't help but look happy, and immediately rubbed his face vigorously to cheer himself up.

"General, please come in."

Liu Bei hurriedly responded loudly, but walked out in a hurry, and personally invited Wang Xuance to come in.

The two sat down facing each other.

Wang Xuance was quite solemn, he glanced at Liu Bei, and then asked, "I just heard what the two generals Guan and Zhang said just now, is there another war in Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei did not hide anything, nodded and sighed: "Alas, Jing Sheng misunderstood me too much, and he has to get rid of me quickly. This time he comes with a large number of troops, and my general Pan Feng has few troops, so he cannot stop me. I am afraid that the land of the three counties where we live and settle down will not be preserved.”

"Then I dare to ask what Liu Gong means now?"

Although Wang Xuance didn't say it clearly, Liu Bei knew what he meant, and Wang Xuance was waiting for him to make a choice.

"To be honest, General, Bei is really suffering. The war situation is urgent on both sides, and the people are suffering the most. Liu Bei can't wait to tear himself in half!"

Liu Bei sighed heavily again, and there was some choking in his voice.

Wang Xuance couldn't help being a little moved when he heard this, no matter whether Liu Bei came for Yizhou or not, at least he is a benevolent king and a good lord who truly cares about the people and wants to benefit the common people.

"Liu Gong, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Wang Xuance hesitated for a while, until he saw a little wetness in Liu Bei's eyes, he finally calmed down and opened his mouth to ask questions.

Zhang Juzheng has absolutely nothing to say about politics, but it is really a bit reluctant for him to judge the situation and make suggestions.

Liu Bei was worrying that no one could advise him, now that Wang Xuance asked such a question, he felt excited, and quickly asked Wang Xuance to speak up.

"At this point, I will no longer lie to Mr. Liu, and please don't lie to Mr. Liu."

Wang Xuance sat up straight, with a serious expression on his face, and said seriously: "The land of Shu has been at ease for too long, and it will attract the heroes to covet and fall into the flames of war. Cao Cao is like this, and Liu Gong is also like this, but the methods you adopt are different. Now Yizhou The three counties of Jingbei are in danger at the same time, with Liu Gong's current strength, he must not be able to take care of both sides. The so-called decision-making must be subject to chaos, if Liu Gong wants to repay his ambition, he must make a decision as soon as possible."

Liu Bei did not deny his idea of ​​plotting Yizhou, nodded and mourned: "Please also teach me, General."

When Wang Xuance saw this, he did not hesitate and added: "Actually, this choice seems difficult, but in fact it is extremely simple. Jingzhou has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and Yizhou has an absolute barrier. Both states are rich and prosperous places. What Liu Gong has to consider is, It is the difficulty that we have to face in taking over the entire territory of one of the states, which one is more serious and which one is less serious."

"Which one is more important?"

Liu Bei couldn't help repeating softly, his muddy eyes gradually became clear.

He has always fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, comparing the three counties of Jingbei with Yizhou.

But Wang Xuance woke him up, since Liu Biao had already sent troops first, why couldn't he counterattack with his troops?

The name is justified, and it is possible to take advantage of the situation to seize the entire territory of Jingzhou and establish it as the base of the great cause!

But Yizhou is different, not only Cao Cao, the fierce tiger, is fighting, but also Yizhou's stubborn local power group is very difficult to deal with, far from the fact that he has a reputation for benevolence in Jingzhou.

In an instant, like enlightenment, Liu Bei fully understood that instead of wasting in Yizhou in vain, he should stop returning to his teacher and quickly win Jingzhou to develop his strength.

"The general is a great talent, I am very grateful!"

Liu Bei stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance accepted this gift calmly, but his heart was not so calm.

With Liu Bei gone like this, the power of Yizhou alone can no longer resist Cao Cao.

It can be said that it was him, Wang Xuance, who completely wiped out Yizhou's last hope.

It's just that it can't be done like this, the battle at Mianzhuguan directly affected the whole Yizhou, the recruitment of troops, the raising of food and grass, and the levying of miscellaneous taxes became more and more frequent.

Such a barely maintained Yizhou will only cause the people to struggle in the vortex of war and find it difficult to survive.

Thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao is not an enlightened lord. At least under his rule, the Sili, who was ten thousand miles away and thousands of miles away, has achieved the stability and peace that the people have ample food and drink.

Liu Bei's departure was just an opportunity, and Wang Xuance knew that this day would definitely come before anyone else.

"General, if Bei leaves like this, Yizhou is really hard to hold on to. I want to ask the general, what plans do you have in the future?"

Liu Bei looked at Wang Xuance sincerely and looked forward to it.

If Wang Xuance can serve him, then under his command, Guan Yu leads the army, Zhang Fei leads the charge, Zhang Juzheng manages the internal affairs, and Wang Xuance advises. They are all top talents, and Liu Bei is confident that he will not be weaker than others.

"I?"

Wang Xuance asked himself softly, the calmness and wisdom just now were gone on his face, and the confusion in his heart was like the dim and shaking oil lamp in front of him, which would suddenly go out at an unknown time.
