Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

If Liu Bei can't handle the relationship with Cao Shuo well, then they will have another enemy in the future. Cao Shuo is not like other princes. Shuo, there was no way they could escape.

Du Xi's brain was spinning rapidly, and he wanted to find a way to get the best of both worlds, not to offend Cao Shuo, but also to calm Liu Bei's anger.

"Xianhe, apart from wanting to use Dong Zhuo's granddaughter in exchange for General Zhang's corpse, does Li Ru have any other requests?"

Jian Yong said coldly: "They still want to exchange Guo Bang's head."

"Is there anything else?"

"Gone!"

Du Xi began to figure it out. The most critical issue was to get General Zhang's body back, but right now they didn't have much bargaining chips.

"Come on, go and call General Guan!"

Du Xi thought of a way. Guan Yu got a lot of benefits from Cao Shuo's place, and Cao Shuo loved him very much. If Guan Yu was allowed to intervene, maybe Guan Yu would let Liu Bei let Liu Bei let him go because Cao Shuo treated him well in the past. Yin Kui one yard.

Guan Yu received Du Xi's notice, hurried to Liu Bei's mansion, and asked: "Military Master, what's the matter? Where's my elder brother? Xian and you are back. How is the discussion with Dong Zhuo? Where is his granddaughter?"

"General Guan, we were tricked by Cao Shuo!"

Chapter 328 "2" So you don't have to send me off, I will come again

Jian Yong told Guan Yu the news he had received from Dong Zhuo, and Guan Yu was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking and his eyes were burning.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Cao Shuo, he dared to blame us. He is still the third brother. I will make him pay a heavy price."

Du Xi persuaded: "General Guan, now our army has lost General Zhang, and many soldiers and horses, and the morale is low. Once we start a war with Cao Shuo, our army will be in danger of being wiped out."

Guan Yu said angrily: "Is that the way to go? The three of us swore to live and die together. Now that the third brother has been murdered, how can we stand by and watch?"

Du Xi said: "What will General Guan use to fight against Cao Shuo's hundreds of thousands of troops? Our army has less than [-] soldiers left. Does the general want them all to die in Henan Yin?"

Guan Yu looked depressed, yes, what did they use to fight, [-] troops, it seems that the number is quite large.

But for Cao Shuo, it was like going to die. Cao Shuo's powerful generals were like clouds, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were all powerful generals in the world, and he alone could not take down two of them.

"Where is my eldest brother, let's discuss with him how to avenge my third brother!"

Du Xi said with a dark face: "My lord has gone to kill Yin Kui. Once Yin Kui is dead, there is no room for relaxation of this matter."

Guan Yu was horrified and said, "I'm going to call my eldest brother back. Yin Kui can only be imprisoned, and he must not be executed now."

Guan Yu rushed to catch up with Liu Bei. If he went late, they would definitely be in big trouble in the future.

"Big brother, big brother!"

Seeing Liu Bei's soldiers, Guan Yu shouted loudly.

Liu Bei ordered his soldiers to continue the pursuit, while he slowed down and waited for Guan Yu.

"Second brother, why is it so urgent?"

Guan Yu explained: "Brother, it is not appropriate for us to start a war with Cao Shuo right now, and Yin Kui cannot be killed yet."

Liu Bei said: "Second brother misunderstood, I didn't intend to kill Yin Kui, but to snatch Dong Zhuo's granddaughter."

Guan Yu followed Liu Bei and continued to walk forward, and then asked: "Brother, if we rob someone, we will go back. We must not kill the other person, otherwise, Cao Shuo will definitely not let it go."

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and asked, "Second brother, have you changed your mind?"

Guan Yu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Why would Big Brother say that?"

"The revenge of the third brother, will the second brother not take revenge?"

"Brother, the second brother wants to avenge the third brother all the time, but the city of Wuguan is high and deep, and our soldiers are not many. Wouldn't storming Wuguan increase the casualties and bring no benefit?"

Liu Bei asked: "Could it be that Cao Shuo shot Yide, and we will not avenge this revenge?"

"Brother, we will eventually have a battle with Cao Shuo. With the current situation of our army, do you think we can fight Cao Shuo?"

"This……"

Liu Bei fell into contemplation. Cao Shuo had a strong army and countless brave generals and famous men. Cao Cao alone caused him a heavy loss and lost Yuzhou. If he faced Cao Shuo, they might not have a chance to escape.

The two led the soldiers to the bank of the Ru River, and seeing that Yin Kui had already started boarding the boat, Liu Bei shouted, "Wait a minute, sir, there is something urgent."

Yin Kui looked at Liu Bei mischievously, and said: "Mr. Liu, I will go back to Luoyang for business first. In a few days, I will definitely come to pay tribute to the three generals."

Liu Bei said angrily: "Go find the ferry and stop them for me!"

Guan Yu looked around and saw that there were no ferries at all. If he wanted to find a boat, he might have to travel a long way. By then, the other party must have entered Cao Cao's territory.

"Wait a minute, sir, I have something important to discuss!"

"You don't have to send me off, I will come again, and we will talk again when the time comes!"

Yin Kui waved at Liu Bei, then returned to the cabin with a smile on his face, wanting to let Lao Tzu go back?There is no door. With so many people here, is it possible for him to survive?

Seeing that Yin Kui had gone far away, Liu Bei immediately jumped into the river with his horse.

"thump!"

Liu Bei's war horse was directly submerged. After a while, the war horse showed its head, but Liu Bei disappeared.

Guan Yu was startled, and hurriedly sent people down to look for it, but he himself jumped down without hesitation.

After a while, Liu Bei was pulled up by several soldiers. Liu Bei coughed a few times and said, "I was almost killed by these two-sided stirrups."

Liu Bei jumped into the water too quickly, and the horse rolled in the water for a while, causing his feet to be stuck in the stirrups. If there were not so many people present, he might have died in the river today.

Seeing Liu Bei's embarrassing appearance on the boat, Yin Kui burst out laughing. He specially asked Jin Yiwei to choose this place, just to prevent Liu Bei from sneaking on his horse.

"Brother, you scared the second brother to death!"

Guan Yu pulled Liu Bei, thinking about the scene just now, he felt lingering fear, if he lost Zhang Fei, and then lost Liu Bei, what face would he have to live on.

"Damn Yin Kui, hateful Cao Shuo, sooner or later I will cut them all to pieces."

Liu Bei glared at the direction Yin Kui left, and led his soldiers back to Wan County.

When Du Xi saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu coming back, he hurriedly said, "My lord, Li Ru's envoy has come suddenly!"

Liu Bei asked in surprise, "What are you doing here? Are you here to urge Dong Zhuo's granddaughter?"

Yin Kui left, Dong Bai was also taken away by him, what about the body of the third brother?

Du Xi said: "My lord, the other party didn't come to ask for someone. They returned the corpse of the three generals."

"Really?"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked in disbelief.

"The envoy said that Cao Shuo exchanged the corpses of Dong Zhuo's [-] soldiers and the coffins of Li Meng, Li Ying, and Yang Ding for the three generals."

"Cao Shuo is so benevolent?" Liu Bei was surprised.

Chapter 329 "3" Liu Biao pressing every step of the way

In Xiangyang City, in Liu Biao's palace, all civil and military officials gathered together.

"My dear friends, I called you here today for a big event."

Liu Biao's half-dead voice resounded in the hall, and people standing in remote places could not hear Liu Biao's voice at all.

General Cai Mao asked, "Your Majesty, what is it?"

"Liu Yan of Yizhou has also proclaimed himself emperor, and he still inherits the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and brazenly sent documents to the princes everywhere, ordering them to attack Dong Zhuo!"

When Liu Biao thought of this, he felt that his face was dull. Isn't it a joke that two Han orthodoxy appeared at once? How could the princes listen to them?

If it was just one person, maybe he would give a little face, but he and Liu Yan both continued the Han Dynasty, which made the princes laugh at it directly. Without Yuxi, who can prove it.

The civil and military people in the palace talked a lot, but they didn't expect this to happen. Wasn't this deliberately embarrassing them?

The eunuch Cai He said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, this matter is purely a coincidence. We must discuss it with Liu Yan. Liu Yan is far away from the Central Plains. He has no right to order the heroes at all. It is better to be the king of An Yi honestly." !"

Liu Biao glanced around at the ministers and said, "Whoever can go to Yizhou as an envoy will persuade Liu Yan to abdicate!"

Taiwei Kuai Yue suggested: "Your Majesty, Fu Xun is well-educated, familiar with poetry and books, and good at the theory of hundreds of schools. You can go to Yizhou as an envoy!"

"Oh?"

Liu Biao looked at Fu Xun, the Prime Minister of the Shaofu, and said, "Gongti, go to Yizhou and persuade Liu Yan to abdicate, so that the two families will not meet each other!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Fu Xun agreed with a depressed face. He knew it was an impossible task, but even if he didn't go, there would still be others. There can only be one orthodoxy in the world.

Liu Biao said: "If Liu Yan is willing to abdicate, I can make him king of Yizhou, hereditary!"

"promise!"

"My love, is there anything else?"

Liu Biao glanced around the crowd, his body was getting weaker and weaker, he might not live for a few years, he had to give birth to a few more as soon as possible.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have an important report to report!"

Taiwei Kuaiyue stepped forward, took out a battle report, and asked someone to hand it over!

Liu Biao opened it and was surprised.

Kuai Yue said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei was defeated in Wuguan and should be punished. It is better to send General Wenpin to Nanyang County to take over Liu Bei's troops."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue worriedly. Liu Bei's third younger brother, Zhang Fei, had just died in battle. He must be angry at this time. If he rashly seized his military power, Liu Bei might rise up and resist.

Cai Mao said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei has less than [-] soldiers and horses. If General Wenpin leads an army of [-] to take over Nanyang County, Liu Bei will not dare to resist!"

General Zuo Liu Pan said: "Father, the Zhen's Chamber of Commerce sold us [-] war horses earlier, so we can try our cavalry!"

Kuai Liang persuaded: "Your Majesty, now is the best time. If Liu Bei recovers, we won't have this chance."

Liu Biao thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let Wenpin, Song Zhong, and Su Fei lead [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] sailors to Nanyang County to accept Liu Bei's troops and let Liu Bei come to Xiangyang to serve. .”

"The last general takes orders!"

Wenpin, Song Zhong, and Su Fei took orders to count [-] soldiers and horses in the barracks, and rushed to Nanyang County.

Liao Hua, who was stationed in Dengxian County, Nanyang County, was terrified when he saw Wenpin leading an army across the Yangtze River in mighty strength.

"Report, Wenpin led an army of [-] across the Yangtze River and came to Nanyang County. General Liao didn't know what the other party was coming for, so he came here to ask my lord whether our army wants to attack."

Liu Bei was terrified when he received the report from Liao Hua's soldiers. Liu Biao had previously said that he had [-] soldiers, but just after his third brother died in battle, he led [-] soldiers. Isn't this bullying him now that no one can use it? ?

"Call Du Xi, Zhao Yan, Guan Yu, Li Tong, and Xu Jing to discuss the matter immediately!"

Guan Yu was assisting Zhang Fei's wife and children to take care of Zhang Fei's funeral. When he received a summons from Liu Bei, he hurried to Liu Bei's residence.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei eagerly.

Liu Bei said with a sullen face: "Liu Biao sent [-] troops across the Yangtze River and is currently stationed near Deng County. His purpose is self-evident. He wants to take over our troops when we are short of major generals." .”

Guan Yu said angrily, "Brother, let me lead an army of [-] to destroy them."

"No! Second General, don't be impulsive."

At this moment, Zhao Yan, Du Xi, Li Tong, and Xu Jing came to Liu Bei's residence together.

Du Xi persuaded: "My lord, our army is small and it is not suitable to fight any more. We should first see the opponent's intentions before making a decision."

Zhao Yan also persuaded: "My lord, we can hire Wen to Wan County first to see if he dares to enter the city."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Okay, according to the two gentlemen's advice, send someone to inform Wenpin to come to my residence to discuss matters."

However, after Liu Bei's envoy conveyed Liu Bei's meaning, Wenpin drove the envoy back directly and asked him to bring back a sentence.

All the soldiers and horses in Nanyang County were assembled in Deng County to stand by. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yan, Du Xi and others immediately went to Xiangyang to wait for dispatch.

"Brother, Wenpin doesn't know what is good or bad, so we must teach them a lesson!"

Chapter 330 "4" The son is too good, and it is also a troublesome thing

"My lord, the Eldest Young Master has fought and won victoriously in Xuzhou. He has captured Pengcheng Kingdom and the northern cities of Donghai County, Yinping, Chengxian, and Lanling. His morale is now at a high level."

Cheng Yu took the battle report from Xuzhou and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's face beamed with joy. Unexpectedly, Cao Ang made progress under Cao Shuo's stimulation.

Xiahoudun said: "Brother, Ang'er's ability, I can't think of Cao Shuo, but it's just hidden by the elder brother. From now on, we should focus on cultivating his ability to lead the army."

Cao Hong praised: "Ang'er will definitely be able to replace eldest brother in the future and support the entire Cao family!"
