The Three Kingdoms

"My lord, now that Sun Jian died in battle, Wu has no master. Although they have captured Jingzhou, Jingzhou still has a lot of forces to resist them. Next, the state of Wu is bound to be weak, so why should we be afraid!"

Huang Quan spoke eloquently.Said: "Sun Zhongmou is just boasting. Within three to five years, the state of Wu has no ability to raise troops. Now the state of Shu, the first thing to be afraid of is Liu Bei. We have no choice but to take Liu Bei. This person has followed Tao. Qian, Liu Biao, will not end well. His troops are not weak, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are famous and fierce generals in the world, so we must guard against them!"

The Kingdom of Shu wants to take in Liu Bei, but it doesn't want to take in a white-eyed wolf.

"A bereaved dog. If he hadn't been taken in alone, he would have been beheaded by the Wu army. How could he dare to turn against the orphan!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhang stared at him with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

"Your Majesty must guard against it!"

Zhang Ren frowned slightly, and suggested, "Liu Biao treated him like this at the beginning. In the end, he didn't let him kill him. This person may not be willing to fight for the Kingdom of Shu!"

"I have a plan to hold Liu Bei in check!" Huang Quan said suddenly.

"Hurry up!"

"If Liu Xuande is in Peicheng, even if he has any conspiracy, we will be beyond our control, but if we just call him to Chengdu, let him leave our troops and come to Chengdu alone, then he will be under our noses. , what else can he do!"

Huang Quan smiled darkly, and said: "As long as the subordinates under his command, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others are leaderless, and we hold Liu Bei hostage, they can only obediently guard Peicheng for the Kingdom of Shu, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Haha, that's a great word!"

Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately spread out a call letter, brushed it with ink, stamped it with a big seal, and said: "Come here, quickly pass the decree to Peicheng, and let Peihou go to Beijing. It is rare to see the clan of the former Han Dynasty again. Have a good time with him!"

"promise!"

A personal guard outside the hall quickly walked in, and then quickly left the hall holding the imperial edict.

In eight hundred miles, the imperial edict from Chengdu appeared on Liu Bei's desk in Peicheng in just one day.

Peicheng, this is an important road city, it is the main road city for Jingzhou to enter Sichuan, and it is also the gateway city for the Shu defense to defend Jingzhou.

The current Peicheng is already Liu Bei's territory.

Liu Zhang gave Peicheng to Liu Bei, and he was also particular about it. One, if he wanted the horse to run, he had to give it some grass. He wanted Liu Bei to defend Jingzhou, so naturally he had to give him a quick place.

As for the second, behind Peicheng is Jiamengguan. If Peicheng is a gate, Jiamengguan is the Shuanzi behind the gate. With Jiamengguan, he is not afraid of Liu Bei's entry into Yizhou.

Peicheng.

Liu Bei's meeting hall.

"Kong Ming!" Liu Bei held Liu Zhang's edict in his hand, his face was gloomy like water, his eyes flickered with coldness, and he murmured, "What do you think Liu Zhang meant by this?"

"He should want to take the lord hostage!"

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "In the battle of Wuling, the lord beheaded Liu Biao, which will naturally arouse his resentment, so he is worried that the lord is in Peicheng!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, and said, "Isn't it obvious that Liu Zhang wants to hold his brother hostage, what a gutsy dog, a certain family will lead troops into Yizhou right now!"

"Yide, shut up!"

The corner of Liu Bei's mouth twitched, he glanced at Zhang Fei, gave a low drink, then looked at Zhuge Liang, and asked: "Liu Zhang is not very courageous, Sun Zhongmou's ruthless book threatens the entire Shu Kingdom, and such a vicious method of killing prisoners is not enough. Come out, will he want to invite a certain family to Chengdu, and then hand it over directly?"

This is what he cares about the most. If Liu Zhang has murderous intentions towards him, he will naturally not go to Chengdu to seek death.

"will not!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, and said lightly: "Although Liu Zhang is cowardly, the people under his command are not fools. The state of Wu is now at the end of its strength, and it will not be able to attack the state of Shu in three to five years. And they know very well that the Lord is here Only in order to guard the east gate for the Kingdom of Shu, and to take the main bus out, will undoubtedly cut off one’s own arm.”

"Then do you think that XX should go to Chengdu?" Liu Bei hesitated at this time. Going to Chengdu would mean that he would fall under Liu Zhang's nose, and there would be no leader in Peicheng, which would be bad for him in the future.

"My lord, don't go!"

Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "Nowadays people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads. If they don't go, within three days, Jiamengguan Yanyan will be under the force of the city, and the lord's going to Chengdu may not be a bad thing." !"

"How to say?"

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"If we stay in Peicheng all the time, we will never be able to contact the court of the Kingdom of Shu. A Peicheng, even if we scrape the ground three feet away, it will be difficult to achieve a big deal. We still have to face Jingzhou, and we will never be able to develop. Only by going to Chengdu can we get on the road." Let's go to the stage of Shu Kingdom, another day!" Zhuge Liang's eyes were clear and bright.

"But... How could Liu Zhang indulge a certain family!" Liu Bei thought for a while, and said worriedly: "Every day under his eyes, a certain family is afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch!"

"It's up to people!"

Zhuge Liang said resolutely: "Go, we still have hope, as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub!"

"Since you said so, then a certain family will take this risk!"

Liu Bei is also desperate now. He was driven out in Jingzhou and has nowhere to go. Yizhou is his last chance.

All in one bet, he wants to put all his strength on Shu, and he wants to win Yizhou at all costs.

Since the chaos of the Yellow Turban, he has been a soldier all his life, but he has been busy all his life, from having to nothing, from north to south, no matter how strong Liu Bei's nerve line is, he is also a little tired.

The Kingdom of Shu will be his last place to rise. (To be continued.)

[Chapter 565 of the main text begins the Battle of Guandu]

Guandu, the decisive battle is imminent.

Located in the south of Guandu, thirty miles away, Zhongmu City, on the northeast side, there is a towering Zhongmu Mountain.

In the early morning, shrouded in a hazy mist, on Zhongmou Mountain, under the cover of trees, military tents were built one after another, extending from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, forming an impeccable camp. |

In the north in late April, early summer is approaching, and the last brilliance of spring blooms. In the morning of spring, the fog is heavy. On the mountainside, in a hidden canyon, there is a large tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Cao opened his dim eyes, turned over, and then sat up from the bed. He stretched out his hands and rubbed his temples, his head felt red and painful.

"Hey, a certain family has to admit that they are no longer young!"

Cao Cao rubbed his head vigorously, not only had a headache, but also felt tired, which made him sigh.

In fact, he is not considered old. He is in his early forties, and he is in his prime.

However, compared to the past where he could ride horses without sleep for three days without rest, chasing and killing Dong Zhuo thousands of miles away, now he just stays up all night to study a few battle strategies, and he feels mentally weak.

Time is like a butcher's knife. Even though he is in good health now, facing high-intensity battles and restless strategic arrangements, his body still can't bear it.

At this time, outside the big tent, a young man gently opened the door curtain, and walked in with a plate of warm water in his hands. Seeing that Cao Cao had come out from behind the screen, he frowned and said in a low voice, "Father, if It's still early today, why don't you take some rest, last night Father Wang, Xi Taiwei, Guo Junshi, and General Zhang have been studying strategies until late at night, so you should take more rest at this time!"

"Hehe, my father is old. At the age of being a father, I don't sleep much. I prefer to get up early in the morning!"

Cao Cao, wearing a robe, came out from the bed of the screen, raised his head slightly, and saw the hardworking young man.He showed a kind smile, waved his hands, and said, "If my father was still at Zidan's age, he would not have slept for days, or he would have slept soundly among the dead. Now it is impossible!"
