The battle reports from Nanyang, Xiliang, and Xuzhou were transmitted by the shadow guard and appeared on Zhang Xiu's long case. The war situation in the world was changing rapidly.
"Unexpectedly, Liu Bei really couldn't help but fight. Cao Cao was as fast as thunder, conquering Xuzhou and forcing them to go north. As a result, Qingzhou was captured by Yuan Shao again. Now Liu Bei may have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth!"
Zhang Xiu read the battle report in his hand and handed it to Li Ru, sighing for the future Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty. At the same time, he also knew that Liu Bei would definitely not have any accidents in this battle. His fighting ability may be average, but his speed of escaping is inferior to that of Liu Bei. His ancestor Liu Bang had a fight.
As the head of the Shadow Guard, Li Ru got all the first-hand information, but the important information was all sealed with ink, and he did not dare to open it easily. Just like the three secret letters at the moment, they were all presented intact. Up.
After reading the contents in his heart completely, Li Ru was also moved.
I didn't expect Liu Bei of Xuzhou to lose so quickly.
From the beginning to the end, in less than two months, under the attack of the two big guys Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Bei was beaten to the point of running away, and now he doesn't know where he has fled.
So Li Ru said worriedly: "My lord, Liu Bei is a hero, but now his wings are still young and unable to rise. He is like a bird in a cage or a fish in a net. If time comes, I am afraid that he will be like a fish in the sea and a bird." Going up to the sky, not being fettered by the cage net, has become a big problem for me."
Li Ru's words reminded Zhang Xiu of later records in which Xun Yu persuaded Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei. However, Cao Cao did not kill Liu Bei, and that was how Shu Han came to be.
Now that Liu Bei is in trouble, he must not be merciful and be ruthless when it is time to strike.
Zhang Xiu immediately stared at Li Ru and asked, "Do you know where Liu Bei is now? He has tens of thousands of troops. It is absolutely impossible to escape our eyes and ears."
Li Ru shook his head and said: "It's strange to say that the night Liu Bei was defeated, it rained heavily. After the rain passed and the sky cleared, Cao Cao's army returned to the mountains, only to find that Liu Bei's army had nowhere to go. The heavy rain washed away the traces of their departure. .”
"Is this true?"
Zhang Xiu frowned and couldn't help but think of the strange things about Lu Ma recorded in later generations. Could it be that Liu Bei really had someone to help him?
After thinking about it, he smiled to himself.
Who has experienced more strange things than his time travel?
Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops will definitely not disappear. The most likely possibility is that they are hiding day and night, preparing to defect to some prince in the world.
According to the records of later generations, Liu Bei first defected to Cao Cao, and then he became a hero. However, Zhang Xiu's time travel changed everything. It is Yuan Shao, but it is impossible for Liu Bei and Yuan Shao to become enemies now.
The third person who defected was...
Zhang Xiu looked startled. The third person to defect was Liu Biao from Jingzhou.
Skipping the first and second choices, there is a high probability that Liu Bei will go directly to Jingzhou. Liu Bei went to Jingzhou for important matters, which would be too detrimental to his next plan.
The first was the capture of Yizhou.
Today's Liu Bei is no longer the Liu Bei in later generations' records. His ambition has been aroused. Others don't know it. Zhang Xiu knows that Liu Biao wanted to give up Jingzhou because of his serious illness, but Liu Bei refused. But today's Liu Bei probably won't refuse. If Liu Bei gets Jingzhou, it will be very detrimental to the capture of Yizhou.
Who doesn't know that the three Liu Bei brothers are extraordinary?
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, these three are all top-notch military generals, as well as Huang Zhong from Changsha. After Liu Bei gets Jingzhou, he will definitely recruit talents for his use. With four people, Nanyang becomes in danger.
No, Liu Bei must not be allowed to come to Jingzhou.
Zhang Xiu stood up and ordered: "Wen You, quickly gather the power of the shadow guards and find out the whereabouts of Liu Bei's army as quickly as possible at all costs, and then order Ma Chao, Pang De, Wei Yan, Wang Shuang, Gan Ning and other generals will lead the troops and return to Chang'an within fifteen days. No mistakes will be made. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Li Ru was shocked to hear the order, and his eyes widened in shock, unbelievable.
He then heard Zhang Xiu give another order: "Order Yan Xiang to go to Yang'an Pass quickly and preside over the battle at Yang'an Pass."
Zhang Xiu wanted to call on his current strongest general and powerful force, and use his shadow guard skills to attack with thunder, killing Liu Bei with one blow and killing him outside Jingzhou.
"Lord, why has there been such a change?" Li Ru was shocked. In his eyes, the little Liu Bei was not even as good as Cao Cao. Half of the military strength is used to deal with a defeated general.
"Liu Bei is the most powerful hero in the world. His subordinates Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all enemies of ten thousand people. They are powerful and capable. If they are not eliminated early, they will definitely be a serious problem for our army when they reach Jingzhou. Go and execute them quickly." The order must not be wrong." Zhang Xiu explained.
"Here!"
Seeing that Zhang Xiu attached great importance to it, Li Ru did not dare to take it lightly and immediately issued an order.
The transfer order was issued as quickly as possible, and all eight hundred miles were rushed to various battlefields. At the same time, Zhang Liao was ordered to continue leading the remaining troops to seize the land of Xiliang.
At the same time, the entire Shadow Guard was mobilized, military orders and secret messages from various places were quickly passed on, and Cao Cao's hidden guards also seized this opportunity to intercept the Shadow Guard's information.
The interceptions and counter-attacks of both sides were fought on the roads and in various cities.
The lines and networks laid out were being consumed quickly. Fortunately, the Shadow Guard developed early and invested heavily in it, making it much more sound than the Hidden Guard. However, after the entire secret war, the Hidden Guard suffered serious losses.
The fifteenth day goes by very quickly.
War generals from all over the country led their troops to Chang'an as quickly as possible.
Everyone was confused when they received the order. They had no idea why their lord was so eager to mobilize the army to come back. Some even thought that something had happened in Chang'an, so everyone rushed back as hard as they could.
In the general's mansion.
All the generals stood upright, with Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Liu Ye standing on the other side.
Not long after, Zhang Xiu came out from the side.
"Greetings, my lord!"
When the generals and counselors saw Zhang Xiu coming out, they all saluted.
Zhang Xiu walked with steady square steps and reached the top with extraordinary majesty. He glanced at the beloved generals and counselors below, raised his hand and said, "You are all in peace! Do you know why I brought you back?"
The generals remained silent and waited for the next step.
"Now that Liu Bei has been defeated in Xuzhou, he has come to Jingzhou. He is going down from Yuzhou and is preparing to secretly cross Tongbai Mountain and enter Jingzhou." Zhang Xiu said, "Liu Bei is a powerful hero in the world. If he enters Jingzhou, he will threaten our army. It is very big, so we are preparing to assemble heavy troops and annihilate it in Tongbai Mountain."
"My lord, Liu Bei is just a defeated general, far inferior to Cao Cao, why should he pay so much attention to it?" Ma Chao expressed confusion.
The generals were very puzzled.
Li Ru explained: "Liu Bei's defeat to Cao Cao was not due to his ability. The Four Battles of Xuzhou were in danger of being defended, and Liu Bei's army was weak and small. It was natural that he would lose to Cao Cao, but his power was far more than that. So my lord is preparing to attack with thunder to eliminate this hidden danger in the future."
"snort!"
Gan Ning was disdainful, "When my lord was in Nanyang, Liu Bei's troops and territory were much smaller than what he has now. Why didn't he still defeat Cao Cao and return in embarrassment?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "In today's world, who can compare with my lord? But Liu Bei cannot be underestimated, otherwise my lord will not pay so much attention to him."
Zhang Xiu stood up and said in a solemn tone: "Generals, listen to the order! The whole army has been reorganized for three days. After three days, the whole army will follow me and march to Tongbai Mountain. We must annihilate Liu Bei's army."
"Here!"
All the generals clasped their fists and agreed.
