So far, many of the people who have rushed from Xuzhou are named Mu Mizhu, and the people who have gone from Mizhu to Guangling to organize the diaspora, the effect is naturally much better than other people in the past, but in the troubled times, even the most honest friends. Ordinary people in China are likely to become thugs. The Yellow Turban rebellion was able to create such a big momentum is the best proof. Now Guangling, the government has long been useless, you can imagine the rampant thieves and bandits, Mi Zhu is here. Going to Guangling is really an extremely dangerous thing.
Gan Ning has been a thief on the Yangtze River for many years. He knew nothing more about this situation, and said flatly: "No, Master Mi shoulders the entire refugee camp. How can I leave it lightly? It's better for Gan to go to Guangling."
Mi Zhu shook his head and said sternly: "General Gan, Mi's family is a distinguished family in Xuzhou. Mi is more familiar with the situation there than you. The life and death of the fathers and the people in his hometown is uncertain. Even if the swords are in front of him, Mi has no hesitation."
Zhang Zhao was originally reluctant to go to the world. Tao Qian had invited him to be an official many times in the past, but he politely refused. Now, seeing Mi Zhu resolutely committing a personal risk in order to save the people of Xuzhou, he couldn't help being touched. : "Masters, generals, Zhang has a small reputation in Pengcheng. Zhang is willing to go to Guangling and call upon the people of Pengcheng brought by Ruo Rong to fulfill his mission."
Zhang Hong also folded his hands and said: "Zhang has lived in Guangling. Now that he has met, how can he stand by and watch, and he is willing to go with Master Mi,"
Zang Ba and Xu Sheng heard this and said together: "A certain is willing to go together,"
Both of them have good martial arts. One was the prefect of Langya, and the other was an ordinary citizen of Langya. This time Langya County was also the hardest hit area by the Cao army. There were also many people living in Guangling and other places. They saw Mi Zhu, The scribes like Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong voluntarily asked to go to a dangerous place like Guangling to organize the people to cross the river. How could these warriors be willing to become a man
Mi Zhu sighed unconsciously, "Xuzhou is a place of outstanding people and spirit, but Tao Qian can't use it with resourceful people, and loyal and brave people will not be able to believe it. There will be today's disaster."
Mi Zhu is quite self-aware of his abilities. In addition to having a higher moral character, he is not good at strategy, and Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, both of the Xuzhou noble family, handle government affairs at a much higher level than him. At the beginning, he also recommended the "Two Zhangs" to Tao Qian. Tao Qian sent people to invite him, but he was politely refused. Tao Qian was unwilling to put down the shelf and visit the door in person, so that he missed two great talents.
As for Zang Ba, Mi Zhu had already heard of his experience, and there was no other way except to sigh. Of course, until now, Mi Zhu still didn't know that it was just a conspiracy by Liu Bei, and still thought that Tao Qian was indeed suspicious. Only then did Zang Ba hurt her assassin. Poor Tao Qian is dead, and there is no way to explain this matter.
Although things did not proceed as he had imagined, Liu Bei still took the opportunity to grasp the power of Xuzhou. However, all he can control now is only Xia Pi County. Because Liu Bei has always been good at disguising, he hides his mind very much. Deep, all the civil and military officials in Xuzhou City respected him very much.
After Cao Jun retreated, Liu Bei repaired the city defenses, and sent people to Guangling to urge the grain and grass, and gathered everyone together to discuss the restoration of the three counties of Langya, Donghai, and Pengcheng from Cao Cao’s hands.
Chen Deng said with his hand, "Thanks to the lord, although Cao Jun retreats, his momentum is huge, and he can do it without urgency. The top priority should be to comfort the people and win the hearts of the people."
Of course Liu Bei knew that to fight back against Cao Cao now is tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg. He couldn't really do that. The reason for saying this was just to show his determination and confidence to the civil and military officials in Xuzhou. Chen Deng did this. The words are right in his arms,
However, Liu Bei's face was full of pain, and he shed a few tears, and said: "I just think that Xuzhou is now falling apart. Tao Shijun will definitely not look at him. Liu can't sleep and eat."
Liu Bei's remarks were strict in his righteousness and his words were filled with civil and military personnel.
Sun Gan hurriedly got up and said: "The lord's desire to restore Xuzhou is admirable. Now our army is newly defeated. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and will have no fighting spirit. According to the subordinates, they should store food and grass inside, and prepare armaments outside. Slowly in the future,"
After listening to Sun Gan's words, Guan Yu's face turned indignant. If he hadn't known Liu Bei's plan, he would definitely be furious.
Liu Bei sighed and said, "The two gentlemen are reasonable, and we should first stabilize the people's hearts. Just now, Liu was a little hastily. I beg you to go to the counties to reassure the people. When the grain and grass from Guangling are transferred, they will be delivered immediately. Allocate it so that the people can spend this winter safely."
Chen Gui, Chen Deng's father and son, Sun Gan, and others all yelled in agreement and were about to retire. Suddenly someone rushed in and said loudly: "Tell the lord, the matter is not good."
Everyone looked intently at the messenger Liu Bei sent to Guangling. After hearing the messenger's words, everyone was shocked. Guan Yu stroked his long beard under his jaw and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, brother, I would like to attract a good soldier. , Go to Guangling to eliminate Ruorong,"
Chen Gui leaned back and said: "If General Guan goes to Guangling, if Cao Jun comes back, who can resist, then Guangling can't be recovered, and Xuzhou is lost again, where will I and everyone stay?"
Liu Bei had originally intended to let Guan Yu lead his army to the south. On the one hand, he took the Guangling counties back from Ruorong, and on the other hand, he could invigorate the army with a victory. However, after hearing Chen Wei’s words, he couldn’t help but hesitated. Except for Guan Yu, there is indeed no general in Xuzhou City who can be alone.
Faced with the current dilemma, Liu Bei couldn’t help but regret it. He really shouldn’t have put Zangba and Sun Guan to death in such a hasty way. He should try his best to win them over, so that no one is available now. In fact, in the original In history, when Cao Cao sent his army south, it was Zang Ba who designed to stay firmly, which saved the counties below Langya and bought time for Xuzhou to stick to it.
Seeing Liu Bei's dilemma, Jian Yong said with a smile: "Don't worry about the lord, didn't Ruo Rong say that, he will escort the grain and grass to Xuzhou, why not wait a few days patiently,"
Everyone knows whether Ruo Rong will escort grain and grass to Xuzhou, but the matter is here, and only hope Ruo Rong will find out in his conscience. Otherwise, he will really send troops from Xuzhou to the south. Who can guarantee Cao Cao? Will not come again, and if Cao Jun comes again, without Guan Yu, people like them would not be able to defend the city of Xuzhou.
In fact, they didn’t know that the reason why Cao Cao retired suddenly was because he received a letter from Liu Xin that was sternly worded. Otherwise, under the Cao Jun’s day and night attack, perhaps the city of Xuzhou had been replaced by Cao Cao’s banner.
Liu Bei knew that Jian Yong was looking for a step for him, so he said: "For the present, there is only this, brother, you should hurry up to clean up the army, train the soldiers, and select the brave and conscientious. Lieutenant,"
There are more than 50,000 horse infantry troops in Xuzhou City. There are military horses stationed in Xuzhou, military horses that Liu Bei withdrew from Langya, soldiers from the East China Sea and Pengcheng Huan, and private troops recruited by Liu Bei some time ago. In order to fight the invading Cao army, there was no time to reorganize and reorganize these armies, and these armies have their own subordinates and self-contained systems, which is really not conducive to combat. Therefore, Liu Bei’s order is very timely for improving the combat effectiveness of the army. Everyone here also nodded frequently, and each took their orders and left.
Liu Bei has finished his explanation, and he also got up to go to the backyard to see Ganmei. To be honest, although Ganmei is only his concubine room, he is beautiful in appearance, especially his skin is white as jade and smooth and greasy. Liu Bei is most fascinated, but In order for Liu Bei to show that he is not addicted to female sex, but also to let Guan Yu follow him desperately, as long as Guan Yu is close, he will never get close to Ganmei. Even if his heart is itchy, he must try his best to hold it back. With the skill of patience, Liu Xin would sigh to herself.
Now, Guan Yu went to the barracks to prepare for military affairs. He would not be able to return within three or five days. Liu Bei wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time with Gan Mei. To count, he has not touched Gan Mei's body for more than three years. Now, thinking of this, Liu Bei can’t wait.
At this moment, one person suddenly said: "Lord, please stay."
Liu Bei was stunned, and he felt a little unhappy, but his city was deep and his face showed no trace. He slowly turned around to take a look, but it was Cao Bao, who couldn't help but smile and said, "So it's General Cao, I don't know what's the matter. See you,"
Cao Leopard accidentally fell from the horse in the last battle to chase Mi Zhu and was seriously injured. He is still limping when he walks. He was not able to participate in the battle to defend Xuzhou City a few days ago, because Today is the first meeting of Cao Jun’s retreat. It is particularly important when it comes to the future direction of Xuzhou and the division of power. Therefore, Cao Bao also dragged his injured leg to Liu Bei’s mansion, which was the original Mi’s house. In that big house,
The Cao family can be regarded as a distinguished family in Xuzhou, but no matter how large the family is, if no one in the family holds important positions in the state, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of the family. Just like Zhang Zhao in Pengcheng and Zhang Hong in Guangling, both of these They are local celebrities. Because they did not accept Tao Qian’s employment, the two families have actually begun to decline in the local area.
Because Tao Qian always disliked the poor and loved the rich, Cao Bao was very mediocre in both martial arts and strategy, but Xuzhou's status was still higher than Zang Ba and Sun Guan, so the Cao family's development momentum in recent years has been even stronger, if it were not for Mi Zhu, it was also deep. With Tao Qian’s trust, the Cao family may already be the first family in Xuzhou.
Now that Tao Qian is no longer alive, the head of Xuzhou has been replaced by Liu Bei. From the instructions Liu Bei gave to Guan Yu just now, Cao Bao clearly felt that Liu Bei was about to take some measures against the army, and he would probably reuse some of them. A general from a poor background, in this way, as Xuzhou’s former No. 1 "combat", Cao Bao is obviously the one most affected.
