Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Page 528

"As for the lord's former generals, they naturally obeyed the lord's orders, so everything is fine."

After patiently waiting for more than half a year, he finally had the opportunity to make a big splash. Yuan Shao would never let it go, because the current life made him feel like he was wasting his life.

Since Yuan Shu made the request, he can temporarily agree, and when he comes to Xuzhou, he can't let him.

Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: "Since everything is ready, then I agree to Yuan Shu, but the condition must be paid back."

"By the way, whether Liu Bei has reacted recently, don't let him see anything, otherwise there will be trouble."

The man replied: "Don't worry, my lord. Liu Bei is busy with government affairs all day now, and he may have forgotten my lord."

"That's good, you can leave first, I'm waiting for the good news." Yuan Shao waved people to leave, and lay back on the bed.

These days, in order to paralyze outsiders and prevent news from leaking, Yuan Shao sleeps alone and seldom communicates with others, just to make the plan successful.

At this time, when I heard the news of the imminent success, I was naturally so excited that it was difficult to fall asleep.

A few days later, Kaiyang ordered Jushou to pay a surprise visit to Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei to send troops to Beihai to support him on the grounds that the situation in the Beihai Sea was in crisis, so that Tai Shici would not break through the line of defense.

Most of the defenders of Beihai are Yuan Shao's former troops, and their strength is also inherent.

Where Liu Bei arranged them, he wanted to use Tai Shici's hand to consume the original Yuan army so that these people could not support themselves, so they have not been replenished with soldiers.

Knowing the emergency at this time, Liu Bei was half happy and half worried. He was happy that Yuan Shaocan's strength was about to be exhausted. When he was worried, he had no generals to send, so he went by himself, and he had no capable confidants to help him garrison the base camp.

At this time when he was employing people, Liu Bei thought of Guan Yu again. If he hadn't been captured, there might not be a dilemma right now.

But when he thought of Guan Yu serving as a teacher under Li Huiyi's command, Liu Bei cursed in anger.

No matter what the scolding is, support is certain, otherwise, if Li Huiyi is allowed to occupy the only remaining Qingzhou territory, then Xuzhou will face a direct threat.

Liu Bei glanced at Jushou, and said politely: "Mr. Ju, if Bei leads the army to leave, who can take charge of the overall situation in Xuzhou?"

In response to Liu Bei's question, Ju Shou said neither overbearing nor humble: "Returning to my lord, I think that Chen Yu and Chen Yuanlong can take charge of the overall situation."

After Liu Bei gained power, the Chen family has always been favored, and their momentum has gradually grown, and they can also play a leading role in Xuzhou.

As for Chen Gui, who is experienced and handles things with ease, it is indeed a good choice for Ju Shou to recommend him.

But now the only thing is that Chen Gui is sick and unable to take charge of the overall situation at all.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Sir, Chen Gui is not feeling well, I'm afraid he won't be able to take charge of Xuzhou's government affairs temporarily."

"Ah?" Ju Shou pretended to be surprised and said: "Then what to do, Beihai is in a hurry, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Except for Chen Gui, the rest of Xuzhou couldn't preside over the overall situation at all, and Ju Shou didn't make many recommendations, leaving the difficult problem to Liu Bei to choose, because that would not reveal his flaws.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Sir, why don't you take charge of Xuzhou government affairs temporarily, what do you think?"

Since Jushou's surrender, although Liu Bei has put him in important positions, Liu Bei has never let go of his wariness.

Right now, he has no choice but to temporarily hand over Xuzhou to him, but there may be some temptations in the intention.

Hearing this, Ju Shou knelt down in a panic and said: "Shou is a newcomer, how can he take over such a big task, please take back his life and choose someone else."

Liu Bei was very satisfied with Jushou's reaction. If Jushou accepted it calmly, he might have to think carefully.

Liu Bei lifted Jushou up, his eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Bei has been wandering for half his life, and today's achievements are all due to your help. Since Bei has made a choice, he just trusts Mr., and I hope Mr. will not refuse."

Hearing this, Ju Shou was moved and said: "Since the lord trusts, I agree, but Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others should help."

It doesn't need to be said by Ju Shou, Liu Bei will also do it. After all, Xuzhou is the fat he got by chance and coincidence after living in exile for many years.

In order to show his trust in Jushou, Liu Bei was polite before agreeing to let his confidants Mi, Jian and others help him.

And Jushou also said that he only takes care of it, and the two of them will arrange for people to do everything that needs to be done.

Ju granting this act made Liu Bei feel completely relieved. After all, it should be no problem to deal with government affairs without the right to mobilize.

The two discussed it, and Jushou left. Liu Bei also immediately summoned his confidants and confessed in secret.

Inside the room, Liu Bei looked at the confidant in front of him, and said: "Beihai is in a hurry, and General Bei will lead the army to support it soon. You must help Jushou handle Xuzhou's government affairs."

"Huh?" Jian Yong heard this and said worriedly: "My lord, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to let him be in charge of Xuzhou."

Mi Zhu nodded and said, "That's right, if it's not like this, let my younger brother Mi Fang lead the army, the lord won't have to travel so hard in person."

Mi Fang, it's not a big problem to let him take charge of a county, but let him lead the army to support the battle, I'm afraid it will miss the important event

Liu Bei still knows the talents of the people under his command very well, not to mention that he has the purpose of subduing Yuan Shao's old troops during this trip.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "No, this support, only Bei will go there in person. You don't need to persuade me. You are called today because I have something to explain."

"Although Ju Shou is ready to arrange, you have to think carefully before doing what he tells you. Don't follow blindly."

Liu Bei's words were very cryptic, but with the wisdom of Jian and Mi, they could still hear them.

Now that Liu Bei had already made plans, they were not admonishing them, but asking about Liu Bei's return date and what to do next.

Liu Bei explained clearly to them one by one, and said everything he had thought in his mind, and let them keep it in mind, and then let them leave.

After Liu Bei explained everything, he began to assemble his army. Three days later, he left Xuzhou and rushed to Beihai under the warm welcome of all civil and military personnel.

With Liu Bei's departure, Ju Shou took over the power. He was busy with political affairs every day, and rarely gave orders.

Chapter 505 Problems

All this fell into the eyes of Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others, which made them relax their guard a lot, and gradually developed trust in Jushou.

A few days passed, and on this day Jushou suddenly called Jian Yong and Mi Zhu to come, saying that there was an important matter to discuss, when they heard the news, they immediately went to Jushou's office.

When the two arrived, they saw Jushou was walking back and forth, with a worried expression on his face, obviously something very important had happened.

Seeing this, Jian Yong, who was a bit impatient, said anxiously before he entered the house: "Mr. Ju, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hearing the sound, Ju Shou put away his panic and said: "Xianhe and Zizhong are here. Something is wrong. Yuan Shu suddenly counterattacked desperately and fought desperately with our army. Now our army has suffered heavy casualties. The three generals and the military division have sent a request for help. , but the lord has gone to Beihai, what should I do?"

"what?"

"Our army suffered heavy casualties?"

All the soldiers that Xuzhou can transfer have been dispatched, and the rest is only normal defense. If they want to send support to the front line, if something happens, no one will be able to afford it.

After a brief consideration, Mi Zhu regained his expression, and respectfully said to Jushou: "I wonder if you can give me the token of help from the frontline, please wait and see."

Ju Shou turned around and picked up the letter on the dark table beside him, and handed it to the two of them to read. "This is a personal letter from Junshi Chen, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Mi Zhu took it and read it carefully, confirmed that it was Chen Deng's personal letter, and handed it over to Jian Yong. "Well, yes, there should be nothing wrong with that."
