"Crouching dragon and phoenix chick! It's a pity that they are far away in Jingzhou, otherwise I would have come to pay my respects in person!"

Liu Bei felt very sorry.

I am now in Qingzhou, which is far away from Jingzhou, so it is impossible to leave Qingzhou to meet these two people.

"And that Xu Fu, how does his intelligence compare to that of a military advisor?" Liu Bei asked.

"I'm far inferior to him! As for Wolong and Fengxiao, I'm even worse than one of them! Lord, don't worry, when Qingzhou is stable, I will go to Jingzhou to invite you. If I can get one of them, your great cause will be accomplished sooner." !"

Zhou Xing knew that with his current ability, he could not compare with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, nor could he compare with Xu Shu.

Now Liu Bei does not lack brave generals, but what he lacks are counselors and children of aristocratic families.

Needless to say, I can barely be considered a counselor. Jian Yong and Sun Qian are not even counselors.

Not to mention the children of aristocratic families.

None of the people under Liu Bei's account were from aristocratic families, most of them were from commoner backgrounds.

For example, Chen Deng, Chen Qun, and Yuan Huan were from aristocratic families whose ancestors had been ministers or prefects, but no one was willing to follow and assist Liu Bei. In the final analysis, Liu Bei's background was too low.

It is possible for Zhou Xing to hire counselors for Liu Bei, but he cannot hire people from aristocratic families.

Liu Bei was obviously longing for it. He looked at Pingyuan City and sighed: "I hope that Pingyuan can be broken as soon as possible and Qingzhou is captured, so that the military advisor can go to Jingzhou to invite them as soon as possible!"

Zhou Xing also hopes so.

With Liu Bei's current strength, it is still difficult to capture Qingzhou. Even if he captures Qingzhou, it will be even more difficult to go further in the future.

Especially the land of Jizhou cannot be taken from Yuan Shao's hands, and it is equally difficult to take it from Cao Cao's hands.

Now is the time when Liu Bei is most in need of counselors. He should invite counselors for him and help him to help Liu Bei become strong and peaceful as soon as possible!

After camping for one night, Liu Bei personally led his army out of the camp the next day and came to the city to form formations and call for battle.

On the city, Yuan Tan and Yan Liang stood side by side, looking at the military formation below the city.

"General Yan, have you seen that black man? This man is Zhang Fei. In Qingzhou, almost everyone knows the name of the black-faced general. If the general can kill this thief, I will reward the general a hundred gold!"

Yuan Tan pointed at Zhang Fei and issued a reward order.

When he was attacking Liu Bei in Beihai, Yuan Tan was chased by Zhang Fei, and he almost became the target of the black-faced general.

Therefore, he hated Zhang Fei particularly and felt that only by killing him could he be safe in Qingzhou.

Yan Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhang Fei, and chuckled: "Don't worry, eldest son, I will leave the city immediately. Not only will I kill the thief, but I will also take back Liu Bei's head!"

"Okay, I'm waiting for the general to return victoriously!"

Yan Liang immediately went down to the city and led 20,000 troops outside the city to face Liu Bei in formation.

Yuan Tan originally had 10,000 men in Pingyuan City, but when he sent Qiao Hui to lead 3,000 men to meet Liang Xiong, he lost 2,000 men, leaving 8,000 men to defend the city.

Liu Bei only had 13,000 men outside the city, and Yan Liang refused to let Yuan Tan's troops go into battle with him.

Because these Qingzhou soldiers of Yuan Tan were defeated by Liu Bei, they were already afraid of the enemy soldiers. If they were allowed to fight together, it might affect the morale of the soldiers they brought.

In fact, Yuan Tan didn't want to fight. With Yan Liang here, he didn't have to go into battle himself. He could just watch the battle on the city. It was safe and comfortable, so why not!

When the two armies faced each other, whether it was Liu Bei's side or Yan Liang's side, the military formations looked very strict and mighty.

Yuan Tan secretly admired in his heart, no wonder he would lose to Liu Bei, his troops couldn't stand up to Liu Bei's formation.

And Yan Liang, no wonder he is the number one general under his father, no wonder he wins battles repeatedly, he has such ability!

Praise is praise, Yuan Tan is not envious.

He is a commander-in-chief, not a general. It is not what he should do to organize troops and fight to kill the enemy.

What he should do is to lead these generals who are good at fighting.

It's just that his father is still here, so it's not his turn to lead these generals who are good at fighting.

Outside the city, Liu Bei set up an offensive formation, with Zhang Fei leading three thousand people in the front formation, Zhao Yun leading the cavalry on the two wings, Guan Yu following him in the middle formation, and Sun Guan leading two thousand people in the rear formation.

"Military advisor, the person under his command is Yan Liang."

Liu Bei pointed at the man standing under his command in the opposite formation, looking quite arrogant with his sword drawn.

Liu Bei had previously fought with Gongsun Zan against Yuan Shao, so he knew Yan Liang.

In fact, even if Liu Bei didn't tell him, Zhou Xing knew which one was Yan Liang.

The canopy is so wide and high that it is so eye-catching that anyone with eyesight, except the blind, can see who the opponent's general is.

Zhou Xing looked at it carefully, and found that Yan Liang was indeed powerful, showing a sense of masculinity and arrogance.

At this moment, the other party was holding his chest high and his head high, with a contemptuous smile on his face, looking scornfully, as if he didn't take Liu Bei and the others seriously.

Zhou Xing turned his head slightly and glanced at Guan Yu next to him.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, not knowing whether he was watching or not, but it could be seen from the look on his face that he also did not take Yan Liang seriously.

"Yan Liang, I heard that this man is the most powerful general in Yuan Shao's army, and no one can defeat him." Zhou Xing said deliberately.

Liu Bei continued: "Yes, there are two famous generals in Yuan Shao's army. One is Wen Chou, and the other is Yan Liang. The two are headed by Yan Liang, followed by Wen Chou. They are both brave and good at fighting. There is also a man named Qu Yi was originally a general of Han Fu and later belonged to Yuan Shao. Gongsun Bogui was defeated at the Jie Bridge at the hands of this man. Fortunately, this man was killed by Yuan Shao!"

Zhou Xing agreed with Liu Bei that if Yuan Shao did not kill Qu Yi, Liu Bei would have another strong general who was difficult to deal with.

Qu Yi's first ascending camp is indeed powerful, and may even be more powerful than Gao Shun's trapped camp.

It's just that Qu Yi, like Lu Bu, was an arrogant and indulgent person who was eventually jealous of Yuan Shao and summoned him to kill him.

"Huh, they're just local chickens and tile dogs, and they're the ones who want to be the boss!"

Guan Yu was quite dissatisfied when he heard Zhou Xing and Liu Bei praising Yan Liang.

"Guan Xiaowei, Yan Liang is the most powerful general in Yuan Shao's army after all. It's better not to underestimate the enemy." Zhou Xing said and glanced at Guan Yu again.

Guan Yu stopped talking, still squinting his red and phoenix eyes, but his face became even redder.

To decapitate an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops is something that ordinary people dare not imagine, and it is also something that many people think is impossible, including those who have been decapitated.

The reason why Guan Yu was able to kill Yan Liang was that besides Yan Liang's carelessness, Guan Yu also needed courage.

Historically, he wanted to perform meritorious service as soon as possible in order to repay Cao Cao's kindness so that he could leave Cao Cao's camp and join Liu Bei.

If you leave after you have made meritorious deeds, you will be living up to Cao Cao's kindness.

Now, Zhou Xing wants to provoke Guan Yu and see if he can still take the lead among thousands of troops like in history.

Liu Bei looked solemn, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, and ordered: "Send the order, advance the troops into the front line."
