Chapter 429 Liu Bei Comes to Vote

Puyang City.

Looking at Puyang City in front of him, Liu Bei was filled with emotion.

The hero who put down the Yellow Turban together back then, Cao Cao sitting in Qingxu Erzhou, and Liu Ye supporting the imperial court, are all heroes. As for Sun Wentai, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, he died unfortunately while attacking Jingzhou, and countless emotions flooded his heart for a while.

"Brother, go in, Liu Cheqi must be waiting impatiently." Guan Yu reminded.

Liu Bei reacted and adjusted his clothes: "Okay, don't be rude later, after all, Liu Cheqi is no longer the captain of the past."

After all, a group of people walked into the hall and found that Liu Ye's living room was not very luxurious, and even a little shabby. After breaking through Puyang, many buildings in the city were burned down. Liu Ye ordered urgent repairs, but did not allow the soldiers to carry out large-scale construction.

A hearty laugh suddenly came: "Hahaha, Brother Xuande, Brother Yun, Brother Yide and Zizhong are here, please sit down quickly."

Liu Bei and the others looked up, only to see that Liu Ye was wearing a military uniform instead of a splendid costume, and he exuded a heroic aura, which seemed to be no different from that under the city of Linzi back then.

"Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei, I have seen Liu Cheqi." Liu Bei said respectfully.

Liu Ye laughed loudly, walked straight down the steps, took Liu Bei's hand directly, and reprimanded him, "Brother Xuande can really see you, and you can just call a certain name directly. Why are you so polite?"

Seeing that Liu Ye was still as proud as before, Liu Bei reassured and said, "Hehe, etiquette is priceless, after all, Yuqing is the chariot and cavalry general of the dynasty."

"Everyone, please sit down, don't be polite." Jia Xu got up and smiled.

After some uproar, Liu Bei and others took their seats, while Liu Ye asked, "Why did Brother Xuande suddenly come to join this general, and Zizhong also came? Could it be that Cao Cao has already conquered Xuzhou?"

Liu Ye was a little confused. After all, Cao Cao's first attack on Xuzhou ended in failure, although it was because Lu Bu copied Cao Cao's lair. Now that Lu Bu is far away in Bingzhou to guard against alien races such as Xianbei and Wuhuan, Cao Cao certainly doesn't have to worry about his old nest.

However, although Xuzhou is not as powerful as Cao Cao, there are tens of thousands of Danyang elite soldiers, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others are all fierce generals, how could they fall so easily?

Liu Bei sighed: "Oh, I'm ashamed to say that Cao's army used water to attack that day." Liu Bei explained how Cao's army broke the city, and Liu Ye nodded in a sudden realization.

No wonder. In the original historical trajectory, Guo Jia and Xun You offered advice to Cao Cao, attacked Xiapi City with water, and captured the flying general Lu Bu alive. Although Xun You and Guo Jia are both under his command now, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others are also excellent in strategy, and their resourcefulness can naturally come up with a strategy for attacking with water.

"It's a pity, Mr. Tao. Sigh!" Liu Bei shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and took out a piece of thin silk from his arms: "By the way, Yuqing, this is the seal of the governor of Xuzhou that Tao envoy gave to Bei before his death. , please accept it on behalf of the imperial court, Yuqing."

"Oh?" Liu Ye winked at Guan Hai, and Guan Hai immediately stepped forward to take the Xuzhou governor's seal from Liu Bei, and handed it to Liu Ye.

"It's a pity." Liu Ye caressed the Xuzhou governor's seal: "Now that Cao Cao has occupied Xuzhou, our army can't reach it. It is useless to have this Xuzhou governor's seal."

Zhang Fei on the side couldn't hold back anymore, stood up, stared at Liu Ye and said bluntly, "Yuqing, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Liu Ye smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it, this is not the Brother Yide I know."

"Well, I can say it." Zhang Fei questioned: "Tao Shijun also sent a distress letter to Yuqing. Yuqing is the current chariot general, representing the court's majesty, and has the power to conquer the four barbarians. power, but why do they ignore Xuzhou?"

Zhang Fei was very puzzled, Liu Ye pacified Bingzhou, wiped out the Xiongnu, Li Jue and Guo Si, and wiped out more than 100,000 Yellow Turban bandits in Yanzhou in the First World War. His might can be said to shock the world, why didn't he go to rescue Tao Qian?

Liu Ye smiled wryly: "I don't know why, it turns out that Brother Yide is here to rescue Xuzhou."

"Yes, why didn't Yuqing save Xuzhou?" Zhang Fei said bluntly.

"As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Our army successively conquered Bingzhou and fought fiercely in the Central Plains. The food and grass consumed reached as much as 100,000 shi. Gongda asked me for help many times." Liu Ye shook his head and said: "It's not that the general is unwilling to rescue Xuzhou. , but the imperial army really has no food and grass, so they cannot make a large-scale rescue."

"However, I will send a letter to Cao Mengde, asking him to stop attacking Xuzhou. It seems that Mengde has not agreed." Liu Ye sighed.

"So that's it, okay." Zhang Fei also sighed and sat back.

"The imperial army has been fighting for a long time this year, and there is not enough food and grass. However, Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou without the imperial court's permission. This matter must not be let go. When our army has enough food and supplies next year, we will definitely conquer Xuzhou!" Liu Ye solemnly said.

Liu Bei stood up suddenly, with a solemn expression on his face: "If you don't give up, Bei is willing to be the vanguard, leading the second brother, third brother and Danyang soldiers as the vanguard, to pacify Xuzhou for the imperial court and eliminate Cao Cao!"

Liu Ye nodded: "It's easy to say, Xuande will definitely be the vanguard at that time. But before that, Brother Xuande, don't worry, it's better to go to Luoyang to meet His Majesty first."

"Report!"

Before Liu Ye could finish his sentence, suddenly a scout rushed in with an impatient expression.

"General Cheqi, the latest information, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Shangcai, Yuzhou Inspector Kong Ni was captured by Yuan Shu, and now most of the counties and counties in Yuzhou have fallen into Yuan Shu's hands."

Liu Ye was furious: "Yuan Shu is such a thief! He even ignored the court!"

There was at least one fig leaf for Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, and that was the death of Cao Song. It is common sense to avenge his father. On the other hand, Yuan Shu attacked many counties and counties in Yuzhou without even an excuse, which was really rude.

Jia Xu stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "General, our army is really short of food and grass, even if we want to send troops, we can't do anything."

Liu Ye frowned when he heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, let Xuande lead the Pingyuan Army and Danyang Army into Yuzhou, raise food and grass by himself, and fight Yuan Shu for our army?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "This plan is feasible. Now that Cao Cao has conquered Xuzhou, Yuan Shu's territory is bordering Cao Cao. At that time, Zhang Xun must be ordered to send troops, and Sun Ce will send troops to attack Yangzhou. In this way, Yuan Shu will fight on three fronts. Under Liu Bei's command Guan and Zhang are all strong generals, and the Danyang soldiers are brave and good at fighting. Although there are not many in number, the general can order Liu Bei to recruit troops himself."

Liu Ye nodded and turned around: "Brother Xuande listen to the order!"

"Liu Bei obeys the order." Liu Bei bowed his hands to obey the order.

"Liu Bei is now ordered to be the governor of Yuzhou, General Zuo, to lead the headquarters to fight against the traitor Yuan Shu, and he can recruit troops in Yuzhou by himself!"
