When Di Renjie came to Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Xu said slowly, "Huaiying, what do you think of Liu Bei's coming to Youzhou to borrow troops from me this time?"

Di Renjie nodded slightly, and continued to Gongsun: "Liu Bei came here this time, clearly as a soldier, but in fact as a general."

"Okay." Gongsun Xu couldn't help but praise Di Renjie when he heard Di Renjie's words.As expected of Di Renjie, he guessed Liu Bei's mind was almost inseparable.

In Gongsun Xu's view, Liu Bei's visit to Youzhou this time seemed to be to borrow soldiers from Gongsun Xu, and he borrowed elite soldiers.When Liu Bei borrowed soldiers from Gongsunxu, he directly blocked Gongsunxu with words, so that Gongsunxu had to borrow three thousand elite soldiers to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei first praised and then suppressed. First he praised Gongsun Xu's men who were all veterans of hundreds of battles, and they were brave and elite. Later, he said that he borrowed three thousand soldiers from Gongsun Xu. Three thousand elite soldiers should be borrowed from Gongsun.

But all of these are appearances. Liu Bei's purpose is not at all above the three thousand soldiers and horses, but the request he said later, to borrow another person from Gongsun, this talent is Liu Bei's purpose.

In other words, Liu Bei's goal was actually Zhao Yun, but this made Gongsun Xu a little confused. According to his understanding, this Zhao Yun is actually a loyal person. Cao Jun killed seven in and seven out, and it can be seen that he desperately rescued Adou.Gongsun Xu believes that with Liu Bei's level of judging people, he will not fail to see that Zhao Yun is a loyal person.

As a person, Zhao Yun would not join Liu Bei's command even if he was persuaded by Liu Bei during the journey south with Liu Bei. This is not only because of Zhao Yun's loyalty, but also because of Liu Bei's current situation.

Although the current Liu Bei is Prime Minister of Pingyuan, where is the plain? Xiang, but his situation in Jizhou is also conceivable.

Gongsun Xu estimated that Liu Bei probably wanted to change the site, but if he wanted to leave Jizhou to develop elsewhere, it would not work at all with Liu Bei's only two men, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.And judging from Liu Bei's performance when he met Zhao Yun in Jizhou last time, Liu Bei really valued Zhao Yun.

But even if you value it so what, you value it but I value it more than you.And I trust Zhao Yun more than you. Uke will not keep Zhao Yun by his side as a bodyguard like you do. It is even more difficult for Zhao Yun to show his strength under my hands.And what I can give to Zhao Yun, you can't.

In Gongsun Xu's eyes, he already regarded Zhao Yun as his own, so how could he allow Liu Bei to come and snatch someone from him?

But to be honest, if it weren't for Gongsun Xu who knew what kind of person Liu Bei was, he would probably be deceived by Liu Bei's appearance. After all, everything Liu Bei said today was completely for the sake of the big man. A family member of the Han family and a courtier of the Han Dynasty who think about the country and the people.

But what kind of person Liu Bei is, it is estimated that other than Liu Bei, other people don't know at all, and even Liu Bei doesn't know what kind of person he is.

If a person has been doing good deeds falsely all his life, he will become a good person after he dies.

But even if all of the above are Gongsun Xu's guesses, Gongsun Xu didn't want to leave Liu Bei any chance to poach himself, and Gongsun Xu was going to create some troubles for Liu Bei.

Gongsun Xu remembered that Tao Qian in history seemed to have given up Xuzhou to Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei had no way to keep Xuzhou in the end, but now that there is a summoning system, Gongsun Xu can't guarantee that there will be some deviations in history. .So just in case, Gongsun Xu didn't want to give Liu Bei the chance to take over Xuzhou.

Moreover, Tao Qian in history was going to give up Xuzhou to Liu Bei because Tao Qian's son had no ability to keep Xuzhou at all, but now it is different, Tao Kan has become Tao Qian's son, and with Tao Kan's ability, he can hold Xuzhou That's enough for Xuzhou, but I don't know what Tao Qian thinks.

As for how to do it, it depends on Kan Di Renjie's ability, which is why Gongsun Xu called Di Renjie tonight.

No one except Gongsun Xu and Di Renjie knew what was discussed between Gongsun Xu and Di Renjie that night. It was just that when Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and the three thousand cavalry from Zhao Yun's headquarters went south together the next day, Di Renjie suddenly appeared. Zhao Yun's team seemed to be carrying some kind of mission.

Since Di Renjie had been arranged by Gongsun Xu to see the mirror since he was born, no one except Gongsun Xu's civil and military personnel knew Di Renjie at all.When Liu Bei saw Di Renjie, although he was a little puzzled as to why Di Renjie was in Zhao Yun's team, he didn't say much.

But what interested Liu Bei even more was the stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes equipped on the three thousand cavalry.With Liu Bei's eyesight, he can naturally see that these three things are to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, but he doesn't know the effect.Liu Bei was going to see the performance of Zhao Yun's three thousand cavalry, and if it was good, Liu Bei was going to imitate it.After all, although there are not many cavalry under Liu Bei, there are still several hundred.

When leaving Youzhou, Liu Bei held Gongsun Xu's hand, which was a thousand words of thanks. Liu Bei originally thought that Gongsun Xu would lend him [-] infantry at most, but he didn't expect that this time he would follow Zhao Yunan to rescue the [-] soldiers in Xuzhou. All of them are cavalry, and they are the kind of elite cavalry at a glance.

This made Liu Bei very grateful to Gongsun Xu. Although he didn't know how much of Liu Bei's gratitude was true, he still had to do superficial work.Moreover, Gongsun Xu was not worried at all that his three thousand cavalry would fall into Liu Bei's hands, so Gongsun Xu was very generous.

After a while with Liu Bei, Gongsun Xu watched Liu Bei and Zhao Yun leave Ji County with [-] cavalry and gallop towards Xuzhou.

Gongsun Xu watched the smoke and dust raised by the three thousand cavalry slowly dissipate between the sky and the earth, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 2 Outside Xiapi City

After Liu Bei borrowed Zhao Yun and [-] cavalry from Gongsun Xu, he rushed to Xuzhou non-stop. After all, Cao Cao had been besieging Xiapi City, and Liu Bei couldn't guarantee whether Tao Qian could be in Cao Cao's [-] troops. Under the strong attack of the army, Xiapi City was defended.If Cao Cao had already entered Xiapi City by the time they arrived, then they would have gone in vain.

When Liu Bei and Zhao Yun led their troops to Xuzhou, Mi Zhu had no idea how to get into Xiapi City.When Mi Zhu entered Xiapi City, Tao Qian hurriedly had Mi Zhu called up.

As soon as Mi Zhu entered the city, he came to Tao Qian's side, and as soon as he saw Mi Zhu, Tao Qian anxiously asked directly: "Zi Zhong, what's the matter, did Kong Beihai send troops to rescue him?"

Mi Zhu said to Tao Qian with a happy face: "Reporting to Zhou Mu, the prefect of Kong has personally led his general Wu Anguo and 5000 soldiers to help him, and he is already outside Xiapi City. Due to Cao Cao's great power, he did not come here. Send troops directly to attack."

Tao Qian was already happy when he heard that Kong Rong led the troops to help, but Tao Qian's face sank when he heard that Kong Rong only brought five thousand soldiers and horses.Cao Cao has an army of 5000 outside the city of Xiapi. What can Kong Rong do with only [-] people? I'm afraid it's not enough for Cao Cao's teeth.

As if sensing Tao Qian's emotional change, Mi Zhu went on to say: "And this time, I also met Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, in Beihai. After learning what happened to Mr. Zhou Mu, Lord Xuande ordered his two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Huan The two of Fei led 3000 elite troops from the headquarters to go south with Governor Kong, while Duke Xuande went north to Youzhou to borrow troops from Xiaoqi General Gongsun Xu. It is estimated that they should have arrived in Xuzhou by now."

Tao Qian's complexion gradually improved when he heard that Liu Bei was also willing to send troops to rescue him, and this Liu Bei went to Gongsun Xu to borrow soldiers. The soldiers and horses of Liu Bei's headquarters combined should exceed [-], and with the addition of his own troops in Xiapi City, it may not be impossible to fight Cao Cao.

Moreover, it is estimated that Cao Cao will not stay in Xuzhou for a long time, otherwise, his Yanzhou will not be able to keep.

A few days before Mi Zhu returned to Xiapi, Chen Deng returned to Xiapi and brought good news to Tao Qian.That is, after Chen Deng's persuasion, Yuan Shao agreed to send troops to attack Yanzhou, and when Chen Deng left Jizhou, Yuan Shao had ordered his general Qu Yi to lead [-] troops to attack Yanzhou.

Although Qu Yi's arm was disabled by Zhao Yun, it didn't have much impact on his ability to command troops. On the contrary, after his arm was broken, Qu Yi paid more attention to commanding.Therefore, the ability does not fall but rises.

And this time Qu Yi led [-] troops to attack Yanzhou, which would definitely turn Yanzhou upside down, causing Cao Cao's backyard to catch fire, and there would be no peace. As long as Xiapi City can persist for a while, Cao Cao will naturally retreat. .

And the news brought by Mi Zhu today made Tao Qian even more happy, because waiting for Qu Yi to lead his troops to attack Yanzhou and force Cao Cao to retreat would be passive.And Kong Rong and Liu Bei led the troops to rescue Xiapi, so Tao Qian could cooperate with the two troops to take the initiative to attack. Although Cao Cao might not be defeated, it was better than being surrounded by Cao Cao and attacking Xiapi city all the time.

You know, Cao Cao launched an extremely fierce offensive against Xiapi City, causing more than half of the defenders in Xiapi City to suffer casualties. If it weren't for Tao Kan, he would have pulled out the private soldiers of the major families in Xiapi City. Moreover, the people in Xiapi City have been helping the defenders to defend the city. This Xiapi City has long been breached by Cao Cao.

Well now, if Kong Rong and Liu Bei lead their troops, then the pressure on me will be less. Although Kong Rong and Liu Bei add up to only [-] soldiers, they will not be the opponent of Cao Cao's [-] troops, but the [-] reinforcements Cao Cao's troops can always be involved outside Xiapi City, so that Cao Cao does not dare to press down with the whole army. The pressure on the defenders in Xiapi City is undoubtedly much smaller.

And the fact is exactly the same. When Kong Rong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops, Cao Cao didn't feel any better. When Liu Bei and Zhao Yun arrived with three thousand cavalry, Cao Cao had to set aside part of his troops when attacking the city. The troops came to guard against the two soldiers and horses, so as not to be attacked by these two soldiers and horses when they attacked the city.

The cavalry is best at harassment tactics. The initiative in war is all in the hands of the cavalry. If the cavalry wants to fight, they must fight.So no matter who is facing the cavalry, it feels very distressed.

But after Zhao Yun led the troops to Xiapi, he found that Di Renjie had been busy in his camp all the time, and Zhao Yun also noticed that Di Renjie had brought a lot of men down this time, but when he came to Xiapi After the emergency, the subordinates brought by Di Renjie disappeared one by one.

Although Zhao Yun was puzzled, he also understood that Di Renjie was a member of Mingjing, Mingjing and him were not in the same system at all, and Di Renjie was slightly lower than him in terms of status under Gongsunxu's command, so Zhao Yun could not directly confront Di Renjie. Give orders.What's more, Gongsun Xu approached Zhao Yun long before he set off, and told Zhao Yun that Di Renjie actually had another mission to go south with him this time, and following him was just a cover-up.

So although Zhao Yun was very curious about what Di Renjie's mission was, Zhao Yun would not take the initiative to explore it.Most of the people who die fast in this world are because they know too much.

Moreover, it was Gongsun Xu who personally approached Zhao Yun and told him. This not only shows that Gongsun Xu attaches great importance to him, but also shows that Di Renjie's mission this time is absolutely unusual. Otherwise, how could Gongsun Xu come to tell him in person? Just ask Di Renjie to tell him.

In Zhao Yun's eyes, Di Renjie's mission to follow him south this time may be related to the future development of Gongsun Army. After all, Di Renjie is the second in command of Ming Spiegel, and what Ming Spiegel does is already a secret in Gongsun Army.

And it is absolutely unusual for Di Renjie, the second in command of the mirror, to personally dispatch the mission, but Zhao Yun will not ask Di Renjie, because this is Di Renjie's mission and not Zhao Yun's.Di Renjie found him, otherwise he would never have interfered in this matter.

In Zhao Yun's heart, he would naturally not hide from him what Gongsun Xu wanted him to know, and he would not find ways to find out what Gongsun Xu didn't want him to know.

In fact, a person like Zhao Yun is the favorite subordinate of a superior.After all, as a high-ranking person, there will always be a little black blood in his hands, and it is enough for a few people to know about this blood, there is no need for a large number of people to know about it.

Although Liu Bei and Kong Rong have led troops to the outside of Xiapi City, Cao Cao has an army of [-], which is far more than the soldiers brought by Liu Bei and Kong Rong this time, so Liu Bei He and Kong Rong didn't dare to go out to fight Cao Cao easily, so they set up their camps in the distance, and the camps of the two armies were still at angles, relying on each other, and confronted Cao Cao from a distance.

Although Cao Cao said that he was not afraid of the ten thousand reinforcements, he did not dare to attack the city immediately when the two groups of soldiers and horses did not move.

In this way, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Kong Rong, and Tao Qian in Xiapi City confronted each other in Xiapi.

Although Cao Cao had an army of [-], he was surrounded by soldiers and horses from three other groups. It was unrealistic to start a war on three routes. He was attacking one side and was afraid that the other two would send troops to attack, so Cao Cao temporarily stopped all activities and prepared to attack one side. Observe the situation before making a plan.

However, Liu Bei and Kong Rong's troops were too few to launch an offensive against Cao Cao's [-] troops, fearing that they would be rounded up by Cao Cao.

Tao Qian had suffered heavy casualties in the battle of defending the city for several days, and had to defend Xiapi, so he had no strength to take the initiative to attack.

In this way, there are a total of 10,000+ soldiers and horses outside Xiapi City, but no one took the initiative to attack.As a result, the outside of Xiapi City fell into a strange calm.

But on this day, Liu Bei brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to Kong Rong's camp.
