Just when he was in a state of excitement and planning his ambitions, there were sudden footsteps outside the door, and Jian Yong hurried in from the door.
Jian Yong, courtesy name Xianhe, was born in Zhuojun County. He was good at debating and debating matters, being forthright and informal.
"Xuan De Gong, Cao Mengde was defeated and has already rushed towards Xuzhou."
"What?"
Liu Bei was suddenly startled and stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Jian Yong smiled bitterly and cupped his hands, "It's absolutely true, now Cao Mengde's army has left Yanzhou and reached the border of Xuzhou."
Cold sweat fell from Liu Bei's forehead drop by drop, and his eyes were full of panic.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yong hurriedly comforted him, "Xuan De Gong, although Cao Mengde's army has arrived in Xuzhou, I heard that they have suffered heavy losses in the battle with Lu Fengxian, so there is nothing to worry about."
Liu Bei gradually calmed down and waved his hand, "Xianhe, sit down and talk."
After the two sat down, Liu Bei asked tentatively, "Xianhe, Cao Mengde has led an army to Xuzhou, how do you think we should respond?"
Jian Yong smiled slightly and said, "Cao Mengde was defeated, and he no longer had the power to punish Xuzhou last time. However, our army has rested for so long and integrated the Danyang troops, so it should be able to fight."
Liu Bei nodded, "Xianhe, do you mean that we will fight Cao Mengde head-on?"
Jian Yong nodded, "That's it. If we can take this opportunity to eliminate Cao Mengde, it can be regarded as avenging Tao Shijun."
Liu Bei frowned, and after pondering for a long time, "It's better to come to discuss with everyone."
Jian Yong hurriedly raised his hand and said, "That's fine."
The two got up and came to the lobby. Liu Bei asked people to find the generals.
At this time, Liu Bei seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was already in chaos.
Why is this happening?
According to the player introduction in the game, Lu Bu will be defeated in the Battle of Yanzhou and retreat to Xuzhou.
And Cao Mengde, who is currently retreating to Xuzhou, should be in charge of the overall situation in Yanzhou.
What's going on?
Are the players in the game deceiving themselves and everything they say is a lie?
Liu Bei felt it was impossible, because these players didn't know his identity, so why would they deceive him?
What's more, the name of the game is called Battle of Yanzhou, which proves that those players understand this period of history and will never be wrong.
If not, why is Cao Mengde defeated and Lu Bu victorious now?
Liu Bei's original confidence that he had everything under control was completely shattered by this news.
Even more panicky than before.
Has the game changed, or has the world changed?
Although Cao Mengde came to Xuzhou as a result of defeat, it completely disrupted the history Liu Bei knew and made him panic.
Just when Liu Bei was in confusion, everyone heard the news and rushed over one after another.
When everyone gathered, Liu Bei composed himself, looked around, and asked slowly.
"According to reports from spies, Cao Mengde was defeated and has led his army towards Xuzhou. Do you have any suggestions?"
"What?"
When everyone heard the news, their faces changed drastically in shock, especially Xuzhou's former generals, whose faces turned pale and their breathing became rapid.
Cao Mengde attacked Xuzhou and massacred the city, which was so cruel that it was outrageous.
When he came to Xuzhou, wouldn't it be that the war that had just subsided was about to ignite again.
Cao Bao, the Prime Minister of Xia Pi, stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Liu Shijun, are you serious about what you said?"
Liu Bei nodded, "Seriously, now that Cao Mengde has arrived in Xuzhou, how should we respond next?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei suddenly shouted, "Cao Mengde is here just in time. The revenge last time has not been avenged, so this time we will pay it back."
Liu Bei did not answer Zhang Fei's words, but frowned and turned to look at everyone.
Zhang Fei is extremely brave, but if he had listened to him, he would have known the outcome of this battle without fighting.
Sun Qian stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Liu Shijun, since Cao Mengde has arrived in Xuzhou, we have no other choice but to fight to save Xuzhou."
Sun Qian, courtesy name Gongyou. A native of Beihai County, Liu Bei's aide.
It was initially recommended to Tao Qian by the great scholar Zheng Xuan. After Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, he appointed Sun Qian as his chief.
Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned but said nothing.
This is what worries him. He really doesn't want to go to war with Cao Mengde unless he has to.
Although he learned his lesson, after establishing a firm foothold in Xuzhou, he began to recruit troops and recruit talents.
According to the direction of history, the person he greeted should be the defeated Lu Bu.
But unfortunately, the time is still short. Although initial results have been achieved, the strength has only increased by 30%.
Cao Mengde's men were strong and wanted to fight him, but Liu Bei felt that he might lose even more.
After all, he has already learned through the characters in the game that the civil servants and generals under Cao Mengde at this time are all quite powerful.
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Ren are not all mediocre people. Each of them can stand alone and achieve great things.
And although the people under my current command are loyal, they are not capable enough.
According to those players, only after Zhuge Liang helped him go to Sichuan and Shu could he win over some people who could really help him.
It might not be easy to fight Cao Mengde now.
What makes Liu Bei even more frightened is that Cao Mengde, like himself, is one of the future overlords of the Three Kingdoms. Such a person is destined to become a king, and is it possible for him to win in a battle with him?
Through the introduction of players, I also played many games with Cao Mengde, but unfortunately, I almost never won.
If he hadn't run so fast, he might have fallen to Cao Mengde's pursuers long ago.
What to do?
What worries Liu Bei is that if he fights Cao Mengde here, he will definitely suffer heavy losses. Wouldn't it be terrible if Lu Bu comes after him from Yanzhou?
Sun Qian was a little surprised when he saw that Liu Bei didn't speak.
For so long, Liu Bei has been gentle to others and has never been cold to others. What happened today?
Sun Qian coughed slightly and handed over his hand again, "Liu Shijun, although our army is slightly weaker, as long as everyone is united, Cao Mengde will definitely not get any benefits."
Hearing this, Zhang Fei shouted again, "Brother, don't hesitate anymore. Since Cao Mengde is here, we will fight him back."
Just then, a voice came from the corner.
"Although Cao Mengde was defeated in Yanzhou, his strength must not be underestimated.
The last time Cao Mengde attacked Xuzhou, the people and soldiers of Xuzhou were already in danger. I am afraid that when they meet again, the morale will be low even before the war begins.
So I dare to say that if our army wants to go to war with Cao Mengde, it will definitely lose."
When everyone heard these words, they were startled. They quickly turned their heads and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a middle-aged man with a calm face walking out of the crowd.
