"Pass my military order to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, each leading an army to send troops to Wei County."
All ministers obey orders.
Ten days later.
Outside Wei County, Yuan Shao personally led several generals and 40,000 elite troops to the city.
"Liu Bei, please quickly present the governor's seal and I will spare your life!"
Yan Liang shouted in front of the army holding a long-handled sword.
On the city wall of Weijun, Liu Bei's eyes showed worry.
There are only more than 3,000 elite soldiers in Weijun City.
If Yuan Shao attacks forcefully, he won't be able to hold out for long with only three thousand soldiers.
The current plan can only delay time.
Liu Bei led three thousand elite troops out of the city to confront Yuan Shao's army.
"A certain family will meet you!"
Yan Liang laughed, brandished a long-handled sword, and rode on to kill.
"Noisy!"
When Liu Bei saw this, he didn't talk nonsense and clamped his legs around the horse's belly.
The male and female swords were wielded by Liu Bei with sharp sword light.
The two of them fought together, swords and swords flashing.
Gang Qi burst out, and the swords and broadswords kept making clanging sounds.
The two sides fought for dozens of rounds, but there was still no winner.
"Yan Liang, don't play with him, break the city quickly."
Yuan Shao knew that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly.
And Liu Bei was so calm, so he must have asked Liu Hong for help.
If something happened late, he immediately asked Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He and Gao Lan to lead the army to press forward.
at this time.
There was a rumble and vibration on the ground.
Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically and he sent someone to investigate.
Not long after, the spies came to report.
"My lord, there are about 20,000 troops attacking from the front. The flag we are watching is the Yanzhou military flag."
"Old thief Liu Hong, how could he come so fast?"
Yuan Shao was shocked, and then his expression slowly calmed down.
Yanzhou only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, but he had 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. How could he lose with twice the difference?
While thinking, Liu Hong had already led the army to the city.
"Stop this old thief!"
Yuan Shao stood behind the crowd and shouted loudly.
The scene of Liu Hong fighting Lu Bu alone at Sishui Pass cast a big shadow on him, and he couldn't help but be careless.
Seeing Yuan Shao's four generals coming together, Liu Hong sneered.
Holding ghosts and gods in their hands and riding divine birds, they met the four people.
As Fang Tian swung his painted halberd, a fierce light bloomed, and the aura wrapped around it and swept out directly.
When Yan Liang and others saw this, they were shocked and quickly used their weapons to block.
It was just Liu Hong's strength that during the encounter, he directly knocked the four people off their backs, causing them and the horse to take several steps backward.
"It's my turn."
Liu Hong laughed loudly, and the inner energy in his body burst out. With it as the center, the Gang Qi spread unbridled to the surroundings.
"Break the formation!"
All the gang energy gathered on the body of the ghost and god halberd.
The horizontal halberd swept out.
Boom!
The faces of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan changed drastically, and they quickly summoned their inner strength to resist.
next moment.
The four people flew out, and the weapons in their hands were all broken.
When Yuan Shao saw this, he was horrified. The four strongest generals under his command were not the same enemies?
"Quickly ring the gold and retreat the troops!"
Yuan Shao evacuated hastily.
The four generals, with tens of thousands of remaining soldiers, fought and retreated.
After returning to Xindu County, Yuan Shao was still suffering from heart palpitations.
It was completely unexpected that Yanzhou's soldiers and horses could be so powerful. Only 20,000 elite troops could not be stopped by the 40,000 elite troops he brought this time.
This old thief was so powerful that all four of his generals were almost killed by this old thief.
Looking at the many civil servants and generals in the hall, Yuan Shao slowly spoke.
"Today I have 40,000 elite soldiers, but they were all defeated by Liu Hong's 20,000 elite soldiers. They are not a united enemy. I heard that there are 100,000 elite soldiers in Yanzhou. If they all come out of Jizhou, how can they stop them with Jizhou's troops and horses. "
Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
Tian Feng, the counselor on the side, suddenly spoke at this time.
"I have a plan. My lord has an old relationship with Cao Cao. Since Liu Hong is so powerful, it's better to join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Liu Hong."
Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng and frowned.
"Yuan Hao, please continue."
Tian Feng nodded, stroked his beard and continued.
"Although Yanzhou's troops and horses are strong, they may not be able to break through the city of Jizhou. With Cao Cao involved, it will be difficult for Liu Hong to take care of him."
"Furthermore, Yanzhou is the site of the Four Wars. Liu Hong must be wary of the other states and would never dare to send out all his troops."
"We have more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack it. There is no need to fear it. The Lord is sitting on the land of Jizhou. We can slowly merge the two states in a quiet way, and great achievements can be achieved."
Hearing this, Yuan Shao was overjoyed.
"Yuan Hao's move is very wonderful. Sir, you are really my Xiao He!"
"It's a pity for Wei County."
Yuan Shao shook his head, his face full of regret.
He did not expect that Liu Bei would be so popular in Wei County, and that all the nobles would bow to him.
I didn't expect Liu Hong to send troops so quickly.
If he was given a few days, he would definitely be able to capture Wei County and take it into his pocket.
Weijun, in the governor's mansion.
Liu Hong talks with Liu Bei.
Liu Hong looked at Liu Bei and was quite surprised.
Liu Bei only served in Wei County for a few years, but he was so popular among the people and was so sought after by the nobles.
This was indeed something he didn't expect.
But when he thought about it carefully, he understood the reason.
Although Liu Bei is his adopted grandson in name, he is actually his grandson.
However, only he knows this secret.
Everyone only knew that Liu Bei was from a Han clan clan. Although the relationship was distant, he was still a Han clan clan member.
In terms of seniority, Liu Bei is still the uncle of the current Young Emperor.
The gentry hated him, Liu Hong, because of the disagreement between him and the gentry.
But it is impossible for the gentry to hate Han clan members, not to mention that Liu Bei is still his adopted grandson Liu Hong.
Now the more powerful Liu Hong is, the greater the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty!
Furthermore, being loyal to Liu Bei does not mean being loyal to Liu Hong, so naturally I feel no pressure.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Liu Hong understood.
However, this happens to be what he hopes for. This name is sometimes the greatest reputation.
Now the time is not yet ripe. When the time is ripe, those who are close to the Han Dynasty will naturally give priority to Liu Bei.
After all, the Han Dynasty has been standing for hundreds of years, but don’t underestimate the righteousness of the Han people during these hundreds of years.
A big victory will naturally reward the three armies.
That night, everyone began to celebrate the victory.
…
After Dong Zhuo was defeated in Luoyang, he made Chang'an his capital.
But like Luoyang, it caused chaos in the court and harem.
Although the civil and military officials in the court complained, they did not dare to say anything because Dong Zhuo held great power.
"My lords, now that Cao Cao has occupied Qingzhou, Yuan Shao has occupied Jizhou, and all the princes have followed suit and proclaimed themselves kings, what good advice can there be?"
Dong Zhuo put his hands behind his hands and looked at the ministers.
The ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.
Only Li Ru walked out of the queue slowly and saluted Dong Zhuo.
"Master Xiangguo, although Jizhou and Qingzhou are threats, they are nothing to be afraid of. Cao Cao is burdened by the nobles. Yuan Shao has occupied Jizhou, but is isolated by Yanzhou. There is no time for him to take care of him, let alone send troops to Chang'an."
"Now the only thing we need to worry about is Yanzhou Liu Hong. Yanzhou has a strong army and horses, and there are many generals under Liu Hong's command. Once the troops attack Chang'an, the consequences will be disastrous."
