When Liu Bei crossed the river.

The river breeze was warm, and Liu Bei stood at the bow of the boat, turned his head to look at the boats crossing the river, feeling very heavy.

On the ship, there were more than 200,000 people on the plains who followed him wholeheartedly.

This time, he escaped from the disaster in Jizhou. But Yuan Shao probably had to explain.

After getting ashore, Liu Bei met Sun Guan standing on the shore.

Sun Guan is tall and burly, with brilliant tiger eyes.

At present, Zang Ba has been transferred from the governor of Xuzhou to the governor of Qingzhou. He is Zang Ba's old brother, so he naturally followed him to Qingzhou.

A large part of the ferry boats here are also provided by Zang Ba.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao agreed to sever Jinan County to settle Liu Bei. The defense in Qingzhou was actually led by Liu Bei and Zang Ba.

"General Liu." Sun Guan did not dare to be negligent and bowed to Liu Bei.

"General Sun."

Liu Bei did not dare to underestimate Sun Guan, so he hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting. After seeing him, they came to the camp on the south bank to drink.

Until Liu Bei's men completed crossing the river, Sun Guan led his troops here to assist Liu Bei. He led his troops to leave after Liu Bei completed crossing the river.

Liu Bei carefully escorted the people and arrived in Jinan County outside Dongping City.

At the gate of the city, an official set up by Cao Cao led his colleagues in the city to welcome Liu Bei.

"Mr. Liu. This is the population and official list of Jinan County. In addition, considering that Mr. Liu, you want to settle the people, the lord has sent you 100,000 stones of grain."

Before Liu Bei could turn over and get off the horse, the official raised the plates with two rolls of bamboo slips in his hand and raised them over his head.

Liu Bei, Sun Qian and others turned over and dismounted. Sun Qian reached out to take over the population and the list of officials. Liu Bei helped the officials up and said sincerely: "I'm very hard work. Thank you for your help."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei was half grateful and half sighing, saying, "If it weren't for Cao Gong, Bei would have no place to live."

"Liu Gong's words are heavy. Liu Gong's Han family's relatives, my lord is the Han prime minister Cao Shen, and has been a member of the Han Dynasty. For the sake of the Han family, we should work together to fight against the Liang thieves."

The official said with a serious look on his face, and a sacred light shining.

"What I mean is that we are incompatible with the Liang thief." Liu Bei nodded heavily and said.

After the official exchanged greetings with Liu Bei for a while, he left Jinan County with some officials.

In order to fight against Zhang Xiu together, Cao Cao was also very concerned about Liu Bei. Not only did he give Liu Bei land, but he also gave the population of Jinan County. He did not place his own officials to restrain Liu Bei, but instead provided Liu Bei with 100,000 stones of food.

After entering the city, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others to the study room.

In fact, after the new peace, he should sit in the hall. However, there were too few civil and military officials around Liu Bei, and he was so empty that he sat in the hall.

"I finally settled down. Now Cao's army is also deploying defenses along the river. We should guard Qingzhou with Zang Ba, so we must cheer up."

Liu Bei let out a breath, looked up at Zhang Fei, and said to Guan Yu.

"No." Guan Yu bowed.

Zhang Fei touched the back of his head and said, "I didn't expect that Cao Cao was quite kind and actually gave us 100,000 stones of food."

Liu Bei ignored the second guy and turned to Jian Yong and said, "Xianhe. The people followed me south because they trust me, Liu Bei. I will leave the matter of settling the people to you, and it must be done properly."

"No." Jian Yong also responded seriously.

Although Liu Bei's subordinates had a great span, they had no big problems in governing hundreds of thousands of people in a county and settled in Jinan County.

That morning.

In the county magistrate's study, Liu Bei sighed, put the bamboo slips in his hand on the table, got up and came to the door, with his hands behind him, his eyes deep.

Although news exchanges between the north and south of the Yellow River have become more difficult, Cao Cao, he and Zang Ba still have some spies in Hebei.

Yuan Shao was sleepy and didn’t know how long he could last?

"The longer Yuan Shao holds on, the better. It's better to last for two years to consume Zhang Xiu's strength." Liu Bei prayed secretly in his heart.

At this moment, Jian Yong hurriedly trotted along the corridor, breathing rapidly and his face looked very ugly. Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat and was mentally prepared.

After taking a few breaths, Jian Yong calmed down. He bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Lord, Yuan Shao is the south of the skin and surrenders to Liang."

Despite his mental preparation, Liu Bei's body shook for a moment, and a pale look appeared on his face. After a while, he turned to look at the north and murmured to himself: "Have even the Han general surrendered?"

A look of despair appeared in his eyes.

Although he also knew that it might be a luxury to let Yuan Shao last for two years, he did not expect that Yuan Shao would surrender so quickly.

Moreover, in the three alliances, Yuan Shao was the leader, and he was the Han general. Now the Han general has also surrendered the Liang thieves, which is a huge blow to the loyal Han officials in the world.

Zhang Xiu had Sili as the foundation, Yizhou as the granary, Liangzhou's war horses and soldiers, and now he has won Jizhou, the largest state in the world.

This strength is like an evil dragon with fangs and claws, emitting endless ferocious aura.

"At the early autumn, this year will be autumn, and next autumn will be in the next autumn. Zhang Xiu will come and pass on the orders and order the civil and military officials of Jinan County to collect materials to defend the city with all their might and train troops to deal with the war."

Liu Bei took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to Jian Yong.

"No." Jian Yong responded to the promise and turned around.

"I, Liu Bei, will not surrender to the Liang thief. Even if I am broken into pieces, I will be enemies with you, Zhang Xiu." Liu Bei stretched out his right thumb, put it in his mouth, biting it and pointing out the blood, his eyes full of determination.

............

Puyang City has a strong solemn and murderous aura.

The people on the streets frowned unconsciously, as if they were worried.

Since Hu Cheer led his cavalry to the outside of the city to show off his power, the peace and tranquility of the entire Dongjun have been broken.

Since Cao Cao pacified the Central Plains, the war finally came again.

And this time the enemy is extremely powerful, it was Liang Chao.

Cao Mansion, in the study.

Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were each sitting.

Cao Cao also frowned and had a lot of worries. Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were also embarrassed.

They abandoned Yuan Shao and returned to the Central Plains. Although they fought with Zhang Liao and won several victories, the Liang army did not collapse, but retreated calmly and orderly to Hulao Guanzhong.

Zhang Liao, Wu Kuang, Xu Rong, Hu Cheer are all generals, and the Liang army is too elite and can't catch them.

"How is Liu Bei settled?" Cao Cao exhaled, calmed down and turned to Cheng Yu.

"It's settled. With Liu Bei's safety, he should be able to take root soon." Cheng Yu said with a little smile on his face.

The fall of Jizhou is probably a foregone conclusion. It is still unknown how long Yuan Shao can last. However, Liu Bei's escape reduced the losses a little.

"That's good." Cao Cao smiled and agreed: "Liu Bei is a hero. When others lead troops, they are already famous generals who can withdraw their troops when they retreat. When he retreats, he can still lead 200,000 people back. If it weren't for a hero, how could he do such a thing?"

"Liu Bei hero, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and ten thousand enemies, and Liu's army has good combat strength. I feel relieved if they guard Jinan County."

Cao Cao thought he could see this gold and sand very clearly. Yuan Shao was sand and Liu Bei was gold. Now the powerful enemy is eyeing the north, and there is no more reliable person like Liu Bei.

"Lord, Liu Bei's Han clan relative, and he escaped from the battle of Jizhou. There is no need to doubt loyalty, but Zang Ba and others were born as bandits of Mount Tai. In the case of unfavorable overall situation, I am afraid they will become rebellious."

Guo Jia's face looked a little rosy, she looked very healthy, and she looked a little worried.

He is still the same, with a strong body in summer and autumn, and weak in spring and winter.

"It is reasonable to say filial piety." Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he nodded and said.

Cao Cao showed a stern look, and after thinking for a while, he said to Cheng Yu: "You might as well add Zang Ba as the General of the East and Sun Guan as the General of Zhendong, and each of them is named Marquis."

The Han Dynasty had actually perished, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian respected Liu Xie as emperor and Yuan Shao as general, and summarized the government affairs.

In this situation, Cao Cao made the decision himself.

"These are all false names, and I'm afraid they are not enough." Cheng Yu said.

"Give them more women, gold, silver and wealth. You can do this." Cao Cao said in a deep voice without hesitation.

Now is not the time to talk about women and treasures. If Zang Ba and others were shaken by Zhang Xiu, then the Central Plains would probably not be able to be saved.

No matter how much gold, silver and jewelry is useful to women.

"No." Cheng Yu replied.

After that, the three of them discussed a lot of things. The current response was to settle Liu Bei, appease Zang Ba, deploy defenses along the Yellow River, and defend Xingyang, Changshe, and Xuxian.

At present, Cao's army is still very strong, with hundreds of thousands of people, which is much calmer than Yuan Shao. Moreover, they border Sun Jian, and they can also ask Sun Jian for reinforcements at critical moments.

Just as it was about to end, a sound of footsteps sounded outside the door. A civil servant hurried in and reported: "Report to the lord. Yuan Shao surrendered to the south of the pen. Zhang Xiu did not harm Yuan Shao's life and moved Yuan Shao to Luoyang to live."

The study was quiet, and Cao Cao, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu felt a sank, and his face was covered with dark clouds.

After a while, Cao Cao sighed, "I played with Yuan Shao when I was a child and knew each other very well. This person is so harsh and bold, and he is indeed not a person who does big things."

"Lord. Yuan Shao was trapped for a few days and opened the city to surrender. Zhang Xiu will definitely go south immediately. We are going to be ready." Cheng Yu sighed and said.

"It would be better if Zhang Xiu really went south immediately." Guo Jiayou sighed and said.

Cheng Yu and Cao Cao were slightly stunned and then woke up.

"If I were Zhang Xiu, I would have to repair it for a year, or even longer before I could go south." Cao Cao nodded and sighed.
