Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

"Well, it makes sense." Although Liu Bei won Xuzhou, he didn't get many generals, and he was thirsty for talents, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that there was no battle to fight, Zhang Fei complained displeasedly: "Sigh, surrender, surrender, in case others get food and grass, but don't agree, wouldn't it be a waste of money and man."

Seeing that Zhang Fei was not happy, Chen Deng was well aware of his relationship with Liu Bei, so in order not to offend him, he offered another plan.

"My lord, what the three generals said is also reasonable. There are quite a lot of big and small forces in Xuzhou now, and some small forces still need to be wiped out. The prestige of the lord has already been raised."

Liu Bei nodded. What Chen Deng said was indeed reasonable. He took over Xuzhou easily. He should have some prestige, otherwise they would not really surrender in their hearts.

And conquering those small forces can establish their prestige without much loss. Instead, they can recruit elites to strengthen their own strength.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei said: "Okay, then Yide will command [-] soldiers and horses to conquer the thieves who are not ministers in Xuzhou."

When Zhang Fei heard that there was a fight, his mouth was crooked with joy. "Hahaha! The military master understands me, and I will lead the army out tomorrow."

On the other hand, Guan Yu couldn't sit still anymore. "Brother, I am willing to lead the army with my third brother, and punish those who are disobedient."

Liu Bei looked into his eyes, and when he was about to agree, Chen Deng said, "My lord, Cao Cao is fighting with Lu Bu right now, and we should conquer the whole of Xuzhou as soon as possible."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay, then let Yun Chang command [-] soldiers and horses to conquer the two counties occupied by Cao Cao."

Obedient to his words, Chen Deng was also very pleased with Liu Bei's performance, and his sense of belonging in his heart has increased a lot.

Seeing that Chen Deng was silent, Liu Bei still asked politely out of respect, "Yuan Long has other plans, so I'm ready to listen."

Chen Deng hurriedly replied respectfully: "My lord, all that remains is to stabilize people's livelihood and let the counties recover as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Liu Bei stood up and finally ordered: "Yun Chang and Yi De go to order soldiers immediately, and the rest of them will perform their duties. Don't disturb the people for no reason. Anyone who violates it will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Everyone hurriedly stood up to take orders, and then retreated slowly.

Liu Bei looked into his eyes and was extremely satisfied in his heart. It was a world of difference compared to the feeling of being under the fence.

But right now, the state shepherd's position is still a little unstable, and those who are restless should be punished to prevent internal divisions that day.

Right now Tao Qian is the main one, how should we deal with it?

kill him?

I'm afraid it will scare those new adherents in Xuzhou.

do not kill?

Keeping him is also a hidden danger, what should I do?

Liu Bei was caught in a dilemma for a while, got up and walked back and forth in the room.

correct!

Move him to Xiapi, give him a vacant position, and then send someone to monitor him.

Well, yes, this method should be feasible. After the whole territory of Xuzhou is stable, we will secretly find an opportunity to get rid of him.

……

…………

Three days later, Liu Bei moved Tao Qian to Xiapi, and put him under house arrest on the grounds of protecting his safety.

And the small forces in Xuzhou, under Zhang Fei's brutal attack, either chose to surrender or ended in tragic death.

The news reached Guangling Zang Ba, who made him disappear with a wait-and-see attitude and decided to surrender to Liu Bei, but he still wanted to garrison Guangling.

Knowing Zang Ba's request, Liu Bei asked Chen Deng for advice, and finally adopted Chen Deng's words and decided to agree to him, but he must obey the dispatch.

When Zang Ba got the reply, he also gave Liu Bei a lot of face. At that time, he announced with great fanfare that he supported Liu Bei to become Xuzhou Mu.

Chapter 305 Arrogant Yuan Shu

The internal troubles have been solved, and the two counties occupied by Cao Cao were easily captured by Guan Yu.

The entire territory of Xuzhou has so far fallen into Liu Bei's hands, allowing him to squeeze into the ranks of princes.

When the news of Xuzhou reached the ears of the princes, everyone was shocked, some were angry, some were friendly, and some were indifferent.

And the most angry ones are Cao Cao and Er Yuan.

I tried my best, but I didn't expect to make a wedding dress for Liu Bei, and I was furious at that time.

So Yuan Shu, among the three, was furious, and summoned his men and martial arts to prepare to conquer Liu Bei.

Pingyu City, the prefecture of Runan County, was Yuan Shu's headquarters at this time.

And Runan is the foundation of the Yuan family, where Yuan Shu occupies the right time, favorable location, and harmony of people, but the harmony of people has already been destroyed by his own hands.

Indulging the soldiers and plundering the people caused complaints from all over the place, and the people who couldn't survive fled one after another, or they would go into the mountains and forests to become bandits, which temporarily caused the population of Yuzhou to drop sharply.

Seeing this, some counselors under Yuan Shu's command advised him one after another, but they got only one sentence. "A mere pariah, why all the fuss?"

Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't pay attention to the people so much, some talented people who saw the situation clearly resigned and went to hide in the mountains, waiting for the Ming Lord to appear.

Looking back at the prefect's mansion, Yuan Shu looked at the civil servants under his command, and said indignantly, "Then Liu Bei is just a weaver of mats and shoes, how can he sit in Xuzhou, I am so angry!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu was in a bad mood, Yang Hong, the chief clerk, came out to remonstrate: "My lord, don't be angry. Now that Xuzhou's regime has changed, it's a good time to seize it. My lord, why don't you send troops to Xuzhou and win it in one fell swoop."

"Okay, what I said is exactly what I want. I wonder who is willing to lead the troops to fight?" Yuan Shu originally had the intention of conquering. Seeing someone start, he hurriedly looked at the general beside him.

As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, all the generals standing up stood up one after another, and replied in unison: "The general is not willing to lead the army to attack Liu Bei!"

"Hahaha!" Years of comfortable life had already made Yuan Shu fat, and now he was laughing so wildly that his whole body was squeezed into a lump.

Putting his smile away, Yuan Shu said, "Okay, then let Ji Ling be the commander, Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin the vanguard, Chen Ji, Lei Bo, and others as assistants, lead an army of [-], and take Xuzhou."

"Yes, the general did not obey!" The general who was named hurriedly took the order.

Seeing that his subordinates were so unanimous, Yuan Shu was full of confidence and high spirits, and hosted a banquet in the mansion to entertain all the people who were about to go to battle.

Before the banquet was halfway through, a soldier hurried over suddenly, interrupting the lively atmosphere. "Report! General Sun killed Zhang Wen and has gone down to the whole county of Jiujiang. At this time, he has led his army back in triumph."

"Oh!" This Sun Ce is really not simple. With only 2 troops, he captured a county of Yangzhou and killed Zhang Wen, the shepherd of Yangzhou. It seems that Yangzhou is about to fall into my hands.

"Hahaha! God is helping me, please invite him in quickly." Just as he was about to attack Xuzhou, he didn't expect good news to come, which made Yuan Shu even more excited, exuding an invincible spirit.

Not long after the soldiers left, a young general walked quickly in military uniform. The armor was covered with dark red bloodstains. It was obvious that he had just left the battlefield and hadn't been replaced yet.

The young general's eyes were slightly tired, but he couldn't hide his sharp eyes. He came ten meters away from Yuan Shu, knelt down on one knee and saluted.
