Liu Yu waited for three days, but neither the main force of Liu Bogen's Donglai Army nor the Jin Army of Beihai County appeared within sight of Xiami City.
According to the reports of the scouts sent by Liu Yu to investigate, the Jin army in Beihai County did not go deeper after crossing the Weishui River. Instead, they kept recruiting nearby wealthy tribes. It seems that they should know that the main force of the Donglai Army had defeated the Chengyang County army. Reinforcements are coming. If we don't hurry up and replenish our troops, we will still feel guilty in the face of nearly 40,000 Dongrai rebels.
However, Liu Bogen's Donglai Army also moved slowly in the past three days, which made Liu Yu feel a little weird.
It stands to reason that compared to the cowering Jin army on the Weishui River, Liu Bogen's Donglai Army now has a superior strength and a winning streak. It should seize the time to enter Xiami City for some repairs, and then quickly fight the Jin army.
Liu Yu made some random guesses but couldn't get a reasonable explanation.
But soon, Liu Yu no longer had to guess.
Because on the fourth day, the Donglai Army led by Liu Bo arrived and camped twenty miles north of Xiami City. A group of Liu Bogen's soldiers came to Xiami City. They brought Liu Bogen's order. Liu Bogen asked Liu Bo to quickly Rushing to the camp twenty miles away, as for other matters, the guards said nothing.
Obviously, Liu Bogen was camping only twenty miles away from Xiami City and summoned Liu Yu. Something unusual was definitely happening.
Liu Yu suddenly thought that this would not be a replica of "Hongmen Banquet", but Liu Yu immediately overturned this possibility after thinking about it again, because Liu Yu's matter was far worse than Liu Bang's first entry into Guanzhong, and Liu Bogen even He wanted to deal with Liu Yu, but there was no need to spend so much effort.
When Liu Yu led his guards to Liu Bogen's camp and saw Liu Bogen, all Liu Yu's doubts were cleared up.
Liu Bogen, who used to be quite graceful and majestic, now has a sallow complexion, is wearing a brocade robe, and is sitting weakly on the couch.
"Jixing, sit down." When Liu Bogen saw Liu Yu, he pointed to the seat in front of the couch and said weakly.
"Yin Gong, why is this happening!?" Liu Yu asked in surprise.
Liu Bogen said nothing and took off the robe he was wearing.
As the robe was uncovered, Liu Yu saw a horrific wound, a fist-sized wound on Liu Bogen's abdomen.
Afterwards, Liu Bogen covered the wound again and told Liu Yu everything in a weak tone.
It turned out that Liu Hong, the younger brother of Liu Bogen, under Jiaodong City, underestimated the enemy and was attacked by the Jin army in Chengyang County. If Wang Mi hadn't turned the tide, the entire army would have been almost defeated.
However, Liu Bogen's younger brother Liu Hong died in the rebellion. Liu Bogen and his sister-in-law Sun Li were both seriously injured, and the clan tribe under his command also suffered heavy losses.
After this battle, Wang Mi's reputation increased dramatically, and he won the support of Cao Yi, Xu Miao, Gao Liang, Wang Ling and other military commanders. He also recruited a large number of thieves and rangers around Jiaodong City. In an instant, Wang Mi's strength increased. In fact, he has already surpassed Liu Bogen.
Relying on his remaining power, Liu Bogen rejected Wang Mi's proposal to go south to Xuzhou and Yanzhou, but persisted in insisting on his policy of attacking Linzi westward to capture Qingzhou.
But as the march passed through the glue, Liu Bogen's sister-in-law Sun Li also died of his injuries, and Liu Bogen's own injuries still failed to improve.
Liu Bogen felt that his time was running out, so he began to think about the aftermath. Liu Bogen's son Liu Qi was only fifteen years old. Liu Bogen simply did not dare to think about how his son would control such vicious tigers and wolves as Wang Mi after his death.
Liu Bogen thought about it over and over again, and it seemed that the only person capable of protecting his son was Liu Jiejie. Moreover, Liu Bogen considered himself treating Liu Yu as a national scholar.
Although Liu Yu had other thoughts, Liu Bogen could no longer control them so much.
"Jixing, you and I are brothers. You can rest assured that a foolish brother will entrust his sons to a wise brother," Liu Bogen said.
"Mr. Yin, I think you are a lucky person. Don't worry about minor injuries. Don't say such discouraging words."
"Haha, dear brother, there is no need to comfort me. I know how injured I am." Liu Bogen continued, "Now Wang Mi and others are getting more and more arrogant and have taken matters into their own hands several times. If I don't entrust my sons to you, after I die, It will definitely be annexed by Wang Mi."
Liu Bogen said, let his confidant who was standing by the side meet his son Liu Qi, who was accompanying the army.
Liu met Liu Qi several times. In his impression, Liu Bogen's son liked reading and poetry, but did not like martial arts such as swords, guns, swords and halberds. He seemed to be a weak and elegant young man.
"Qi'er, meet your uncle quickly." After Liu Bogen finished speaking, he coughed twice, which caused the wound to be pulled, and the pain caused the strong man to break out into a cold sweat.
His son Liu Qi then respectfully bowed to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu quickly refused. After all, he was only five or six years older than Liu Qi.
After Liu Bogen's repeated requests, Liu Yu finally accepted Liu Qi's visit as his nephew.
Then, Liu Bogen forced himself up and said to Liu Yu, "Actually, my dear brother, I have one more thing to give you. It may be a little abrupt, so please don't blame me."
Soon, a servant was holding a lacquer plate. The contents on the lacquer plate were covered with a piece of cloth. Liu Yu did not guess what it was.
After Liu Bogen signaled Liu Yu to open it, Liu Yu casually pulled open the cover on the lacquer tray.
In the middle of the lacquer plate was a human head, a bloody human head.
Liu Yu took another look and saw that the face of the head was still familiar, that is, the confidant Tan Xu that Liu Bogen had given to him.
"Tan Xu, this unscrupulous slave, is really abominable. He actually framed him and bit him. He must have been deceived by a traitor to drive a wedge between you and me." Liu Bogen said gloomily.
When Liu Yu heard this, he thought how did Tan Xu come here. So Liu Bogen must have known about his previous actions, but he just needed to use himself to continue to check and balance Wang Mi, Cao Yi and other powerful officials. Just military leaders, big and small.
Liu Yu quickly denied Sanlian, saying that he had never had any other inappropriate thoughts. He was only thinking about how to repay Liu Bogen for his kindness, but he did not expect that he would attract the villain's grudge.
Soon, Liu Bogen summoned all military leaders, big and small, to discuss matters in his central army account.
In the jealous eyes of Wang Mi and others, Liu Bogen appointed Liu Yu as the Fujun Zhonglang General and the governor of Beihai.
In fact, Liu Yu admired Wang Mi very much. After all, he was a heroic figure who was famous in history. Moreover, Liu Yu also knew that when the Donglai rebels could not break through the Jiaodong city, Wang Mi proposed to take advantage of Chengyang County's military strength. After being eliminated, they should go south to the empty Chengyang County, and then continue to raid Xuzhou and Yanzhou.
Although this suggestion was rejected by Liu Bogen, it also did not receive support from military leaders such as Cao Yi, Xu Miao, Gao Liang, and Wang Ling.
But Liu Yu admired Wang Mi's vision. This was a feasible way to be verified in the future. This was how Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Western Jin Dynasty, was besieged and lost foreign aid, and then was breached.
