——More than ten miles outside Zhongli City, Yangzhou

The flags of the characters Liu and Yuan characters intersect each other, and countless soldiers fought together. The woe of war horses and the wailing of soldiers before their death performed a hell march, telling the world the horror of war.

"withdraw!!"

Guan Yu slashed several Yuan Jun with one knife, shouted and turned around and retreated.

After hearing a golden sound, Liu's army flags turned to the east and retreated.

"Hahaha! Guan Yu can't do it anymore, chase me!!"

The guardian Le from Zhongli City saw Guan Yu retreating, and the ground was filled with thrown weapons and flags, and shouted happily.

"General, Guan Yu is a famous general in Xuzhou, so you should not underestimate the enemy!" someone from the side advised.

"Under the enemy?" Le snorted, "We were defeated by the flood that day, not by Guan Yu. Do you think I am Sun Xiang's husband?

We are here to rob grain this time. If Guan Yu is cheating, our army will be defeated. Look again. The ground is full of weapons and flags that they discarded. The military rations on the car are also real. Guan Yu and his team are so chaotic. Is there any combat power? Chase me!!"

Le finished speaking and ordered a pursuit, but Yuan Shujun saw the military supplies in the area, and many people stopped to compete. The army was even more chaotic than Guan Yu who was retreating. Le spent a stick of incense and did not completely control the army.

At this moment, a drum sounded suddenly, and a team of cavalry came from a distance, leading the white horse and silver spear, but it was Chen Dao.

"Not good! It's really a plan! Get out quickly!"

Since it was a trap, there was no reason to let him retreat safely. At this time, Guan Yu turned around and fought back. The two armies attacked together, and Jiang Le was so angry that he threw away his armor. When he returned to Zhongli City, he was about to call the gate when another rain of arrows flew over.

"Hahaha! Your grandfather, I have already taken Zhongli by the order of the military advisor. Go back and tell Yuan Shu quickly and let him wash his neck and wait for him, Grandpa Zhang to take off his head!"

The person who called, holding a snake spear in his hand, turned out to be Zhang Fei.

Le screamed in dismay, not daring to respond, so he pulled the horse and ran away. The gate of Zhongli was finally taken down by Liu Bei, which opened the door to Jiujiang County.

"Report!! Our army won a great victory, and the third general has taken Zhongli!"

On the mountain in the distance, Liu Bei was playing chess with a scholar. When he heard the sergeant coming to report, he was delighted and said to the scholar, "It's thanks to the teacher's plan to win Zhongli this time!"

The scholar was Xu Shu.

"Since Zhongli has gone down and the Jiujiang portal has been opened, it is time to leave." Xu Shu put down the chess piece and sighed.

"Sir, go?"

"I am in Hezong, and Ma Ziyu is also in Lianheng. Ma Teng is about to enter Guandong. He must go to Jingzhou immediately and then transfer to Yizhou and Liangzhou, otherwise the situation of the Han Dynasty will be in danger!"

Liu Bei knew that he could not keep Xu Shu, so he could only sigh, "Let Bei give him a gift to Mr...."

——Outside Zhongli City

"Envoy Liu, this place is thirty miles away from the city, please go back!"

Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei who was holding his hand and reluctantly, and said that it was fake that he would not be moved.

If it weren't for the mission of his master, Xu Shu would have really wanted to serve Liu Bei.

"Yuanzhi, my fate is shallow. Although I have been appointed as my husband as my military advisor, I cannot meet with you day and night. I am deeply sorry!"

Liu Bei also agreed with Xu Shu's proposal to join forces with Hebei.

Although he had a friendship with Ma Qiang, Liu Bei remembered that he was a relative of the Han Dynasty and the governor of Xuzhou, the Han Dynasty.

When Ma Qiang welcomed the emperor to Hebei, Liu Bei still hoped that Ma Qiang would return the power to the emperor, but he did not expect that Ma Qiang not only did not return, but also forced the emperor to assist him in the government. Now he even went to the palace with his sword and shoes, and did not go to the court, and praised him and worshipped him without saying goodbye, as if Dong Zhuo reappeared.

The only thing better than Dong Zhuo is probably that Ma Qiang respects Liu Xie, and even gave three counties the direct jurisdiction of Liu Xie. However, in Liu Bei's eyes, this treatment was simply a humiliation to the Han royal family.

Therefore, Liu Bei also imitated the story of the past and appointed Xu Shu as his military advisor. Xu Shu also reciprocated his favor and volunteered to serve in front of the army. He used the trick of luring the enemy to capture the Zhongli City that Liu Bei could not capture for a long time.

"Duke Xuande..." Xu Shu pursed his lips and held Liu Bei with four hands, and finally said, "Duke Xuande is also kind to remember the princes of the West, resist Ma Qiang in the north, and conquer Yuan Shu in the south, so as to seek hegemony!

I don’t have to send you away, so I will leave you here!"

"Yuanzhi..."

Xu Shu couldn't bear to look at it anymore and led his horse away.

"Sir, be careful when you go here, and look forward to your return day and night to listen to your teachings nicely."

Xu Shu's lips trembled slightly. He had never been respected like this since he killed someone. He was a very excluded person in Lumen Academy.

Even Cao Cao was more than one better than Liu Bei.

After all, Cao Cao has many wise men, unlike Liu Bei, only one Chen Deng can be of great use.

Xu Shu rode a horse and led the team away. Liu Bei stared at him for a long time and saw Xu Shu's figure blocked by a forest.

"The clouds are long!"

"Brother!"

"Go, take the sergeant to cut down the woods by Brother Wei. He blocked Brother Wei and looked at Yuan Zhi..."

"Big brother...No!"

Others were eager to seek talent, and they sighed in their hearts, which made the loyalty of Xuzhou to Liu Bei a little more.

Liu Bei and others waited for a while, and saw that Xu Shu had indeed walked away, then they turned back to the city.

"Brother, do we really want to play with the camp?"

After walking for a while, Zhang Fei suddenly asked Liu Bei.

"Yide, if there is no need, Bei does not want to be an enemy of the general... In this way, Bei will write another letter to persuade the general to return the power to the emperor. If he agrees, how about we help the general to pacify the other princes together?"

"Thank you brother!" Zhang Fei thanked him, but he knew in his heart that Liu Bei could not live in peace with Ma Qiang.

"Battleman, what should I do if you let Lao Zhang do?"

——Jixian

"Gan Shi did a beautiful job!" Ma Qiang put down the telegram and smiled at Guo Jia, "Ma Teng and Ma Chao have both reached Youfufeng, and the stone in my heart has fallen."

"Among Liangzhou, Han Sui is wise and Ma Teng is brave. This time we say that Ma Teng enters the pass, Liangzhou is half pacified." Guo Jia took the opportunity to speak out, "I think that Bingzhou and Guanzhong can jointly attack the northern territory and stabilize the two counties, and Ma Xiu and Ma Tie send troops to support him.

After taking over the two counties, they will use two people to attack Wuwei, Jincheng and Longxi. At that time, the Ma family army will be seven or eight out of ten pavilions. It will be no more difficult to take over Hanyang."

Ma Qiang thought about it and shook his head and said, "The Liangzhou issue is not a simple military issue, it is not the end if we occupy it militarily.

Whether in Liangzhou, Han and Qiang, rebelled against the imperial court for many years, he had almost no trust in the imperial court. Now that Ma Teng and his son came to Guandong, the whole Liangzhou looked at them, hoping to see their own way out from them.

All prefectures and counties along the way will be allowed to entertain Ma Teng and his party well, and not neglect them.

To generate power in Chang'an, 5,000 stones of grain were allocated to Ji County, Ma Teng and others must see it to calm their hearts!"
