Just when he was in a state of excitement and planning his ambitions, there were sudden footsteps outside the door, and Jian Yong hurried in from the door.
Jian Yong, courtesy name Xianhe, was born in Zhuojun. He was good at debating and discussing matters, straightforward and informal.
"Mr. Xuande, Cao Mengde has been defeated and is already heading towards Xuzhou."
"What?"
Liu Bei was suddenly startled and stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Jian Yong smiled bitterly and cupped his hands, "It's absolutely true, now Cao Mengde's army has left Yanzhou and reached the border of Xuzhou."
Cold sweat fell from Liu Bei's forehead drop by drop, and his eyes were full of panic.
Seeing this, Jian Yong hurriedly comforted him, "Xuan De Gong, although Cao Mengde's army has arrived in Xuzhou, I heard that they have suffered heavy losses in the battle with Lu Fengxian, so there is nothing to worry about."
Liu Bei gradually calmed down and waved his hand, "Xianhe, sit down and talk."
After the two sat down, Liu Bei asked tentatively, "Xianhe, Cao Mengde has led an army to Xuzhou. How do you think we should respond?"
Jian Yong smiled slightly, "Cao Mengde's defeat has left him with no more power than the last time he punished Xuzhou. And our army has rested for so long and integrated the Danyang troops, so it should be able to fight."
Liu Bei nodded, "Xianhe, do you mean that we will fight Cao Mengde head-on?"
Jian Yong nodded, "That's it. If we can take this opportunity to eliminate Cao Mengde, it can be considered as revenge for Tao Shijun."
Liu Bei frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Why don't we come to discuss this with everyone."
Jian Yong hurriedly handed over his hands and said, "That's fine."
The two got up and came to the lobby. Liu Bei asked people to find the generals.
At this time, Liu Bei seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was already in chaos.
Why is this happening?
According to the players in the game, Lu Bu will be defeated in the Battle of Yanzhou and retreat to Xuzhou.
And Cao Mengde, who is currently retreating to Xuzhou, should be in charge of the overall situation in Yanzhou.
what is going on?
Are the players in the game deceiving themselves and everything they say is a lie?
Liu Bei felt it was impossible, because these players didn't know his identity, so why would they deceive him?
What's more, the name of that game is called Battle of Yanzhou, which proves that those players understand this period of history and will never be wrong.
If not, why is Cao Mengde defeated and Lu Bu victorious now?
Liu Bei's original confidence that he had everything under control was completely shattered by this news.
Even more panicked than before.
Has the game changed, or has the world changed?
Although Cao Mengde came to Xuzhou as a result of defeat, it completely disrupted the history Liu Bei knew and made him panic.
Just when Liu Bei was in confusion, everyone heard the news and rushed over one after another.
When everyone arrived, Liu Bei calmed down, looked around, and asked slowly.
"According to reports from spies, Cao Mengde was defeated and has led his army towards Xuzhou. Do you have any suggestions?"
"What?"
When everyone heard the news, their faces changed greatly in shock, especially Xuzhou's former generals, whose faces turned pale and their breathing became rapid.
Cao Mengde attacked Xuzhou and massacred the city. He was so cruel that it was outrageous.
When he came to Xuzhou, wouldn't it be that the war that had just subsided was about to ignite again.
Cao Bao, the Prime Minister of Xiapi, stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Shijun Liu, are you serious about this?"
Liu Bei nodded, "Seriously, now that Cao Mengde has arrived in Xuzhou, how should we deal with it next?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei suddenly shouted, "Cao Mengde came just in time. The revenge last time has not been avenged, so this time we will pay it back."
Liu Bei did not answer Zhang Fei's words, but frowned and turned to look at everyone.
Zhang Fei is very brave, but if he had listened to him, he might not have to fight, and he would know the outcome of this battle, and he would definitely lose.
Sun Qian stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Liu Shijun, since Cao Mengde has arrived in Xuzhou, we have no other choice but to fight to save Xuzhou."
Sun Qian, also known as Gongyou. A native of Beihai County, Liu Bei's staff.
He was initially recommended to Tao Qian by the great scholar Zheng Xuan. After Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, he appointed Sun Qian as his official.
Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned but said nothing.
This was exactly what he was worried about. He really didn't want to go to war with Cao Mengde unless it was absolutely necessary.
Although he learned his lesson, after establishing a firm foothold in Xuzhou, he began to recruit troops and recruit talents.
According to the direction of history, the person he greeted should be the defeated Lu Bu.
But unfortunately, the time is still short. Although initial results have been achieved, the strength has only increased by 30%.
Cao Mengde's men were strong and wanted to fight him, but Liu Bei felt that he might lose even more.
After all, he had already learned through the characters in the game that the civil servants and generals under Cao Mengde at this time were all quite powerful.
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Ren are all mediocre people, and each can stand alone and achieve great things.
And although the people under his current command are loyal, they are not capable enough.
According to those players, only after Zhuge Liang helped him go to Sichuan and Shu could he win over some people who could really help him.
It might not be easy to fight Cao Mengde now.
What makes Liu Bei even more frightened is that Cao Mengde, like himself, is one of the future overlords of the Three Kingdoms. Such a person is destined to become a king, and is it possible for him to win in a battle with him?
Through the player's introduction, I also played many games with Cao Mengde, but unfortunately, I almost never won.
If he hadn't run fast, he might have fallen to Cao Mengde's pursuers.
what to do?
What also worries Liu Bei is that if he fights Cao Mengde here, he will definitely suffer heavy losses. Wouldn't it be bad if Lu Bu comes after him from Yanzhou?
Sun Qian was a little surprised when he saw Liu Bei didn't speak.
For so long, Liu Bei has been gentle to others and has never been cold to others. What happened today?
Sun Qian coughed slightly and handed over his hand again, "Liu Shijun, although our army is slightly weaker, as long as everyone is united, Cao Mengde will definitely not get any benefits."
Hearing this, Zhang Fei shouted again, "Brother, don't hesitate anymore. Since Cao Mengde is here, we will fight him back."
Just then, a voice came from the corner.
"Although Cao Mengde was defeated in Yanzhou, his strength must not be underestimated.
The last time Cao Mengde attacked Xuzhou, the people and soldiers of Xuzhou were already in danger. I am afraid that if they meet again, their morale will be low before the war begins.
Therefore, I dare to say that if our army wants to go to war with Cao Mengde, it will definitely lose. "
Everyone was startled when they heard these words. They quickly turned their heads towards the source of the sound and saw a middle-aged man with a calm face walking out of the crowd.
