After Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei's words, he was immediately overjoyed, "Brother, that's great. Cao Mengde dares to bully us. This time, we will definitely not spare him.
Big brother, let me be the vanguard, fight him first, and then seize his city."
Hearing these words, Liu Bei nodded, and just as he was about to speak, there were sudden footsteps outside the door, and a soldier hurried in.
"Informing Lord Liu, Huainan has sent troops to attack Xuzhou and is almost near Pengcheng."
Hearing the soldiers' words, Zhang Fei was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh to the sky, "Brother, look, the soldiers and horses from Huainan have also come to help you avenge you. It's great. This time, Cao Mengde can't escape with his wings." p>
Liu Bei's eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at Jian Yong, finding that he also had a solemn face, frowning in thought.
"Xianhe, what do you think about this matter?"
When Jian Yong heard Liu Bei's question, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. Before he spoke, he sighed.
"The troops from Huainan came at the wrong time!"
Zhang Fei refused to accept it and said loudly, "It's not the right time, isn't it just right? Join us to attack Cao Mengde, drive him out of Xuzhou, and avenge my elder brother."
Hearing this, Jian Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "General Zhang, even if we unite with the Huainan soldiers and horses to drive Cao Mengde out of Xuzhou, what happens next?"
"Then?"
Zhang Fei was stunned, "Then the eldest brother will take back Xuzhou. Is there any problem?"
Mi Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "General Zhang, if we unite with the Huainan soldiers and horses, even if we defeat Cao Mengde, I'm afraid the one who occupies Xuzhou will not be us, but Huainan Yuan Shu!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei was stunned and suddenly roared, "If they dare to conquer Big Brother's Xuzhou, I, Lao Zhang, will never let them go."
Mi Zhu sighed, "Huainan has strong soldiers and horses and a large number of people. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for our army to deal with them."
Jian Yong nodded, "Although we were fooled by Cao Mengde last time, without Cao Mengde, it might not be that easy for us to defeat the Huainan soldiers and horses."
Everyone remembered the last time they defeated the Huainan soldiers and horses, and couldn't help but nodded.
"Yes, although Cao Mengde plotted against us, without the help of his soldiers and horses, I am afraid that our army will not be able to defeat the Huainan soldiers and horses."
Jian Yong said tentatively, "Liu Shijun, why not find a way to defeat the Huainan soldiers and horses first, and then find a way to take revenge?"
Sun Qian suddenly said, "This time the troops from Huainan come to attack Xuzhou, it may not be all bad."
After hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly turned to look at Sun Qian, "Gongyou, what do you mean by this?"
Sun Qian cupped his hands and said slowly, "Although our army has catapults and flaming stones, if we want to recapture Xuzhou, we will probably suffer heavy losses.
Now that Huainan soldiers and horses have joined us, as long as we make good use of it, our army can take back Xuzhou with minimal losses."
Liu Bei's eyes lit up, "Gongyou, do you want to use Huainan's troops and horses to defeat Cao Mengde's troops?"
Sun Qian nodded, "Yes, the goal is to make them both lose, and then we will benefit from it. Finally, after defeating the Huainan soldiers and horses, we can take the opportunity to recapture Xuzhou."
Jian Yong frowned, "This is easy to say, but where do we start?"
Sun Qian waved his hand and said with a smile, "This matter is simple. If I predict correctly, Cao Mengde will see the Huainan soldiers and horses coming to attack and knows that he is defeated. He will definitely send troops to join forces at the front. Then our army will just send troops to go. ."
Jian Yong's eyes lit up, "Gongyou, you mean, we just watch the battle and let them have fun?"
Sun Qian nodded, "Yes, even if we let them have fun, we will just watch the fun. When the fun is over, it will naturally be time to go out and take back Xuzhou."
At this point, Sun Qian turned to Liu Bei, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "In the past, Cao Mengde was stronger than our army, and our army was more tolerant, but now that he has Huainan's troops, he wants to rely on more troops." I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for Jiang Guang to treat us.”
After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded in sympathy.
In the past, it was because Cao Cao was strong and knew he was no match for him, so he would tolerate it.
But now that there are soldiers and horses in Huainan, if Cao Mengde still wants to use his previous attitude, it may not be possible.
When the time comes, your troops will just watch the battle from the sidelines. No matter what Cao Mengde says, they will just ignore it.
When the battle between the two sides is over, he will send troops to give Cao Mengde a final blow and completely defeat him. If he cannot be eradicated, he will be driven out of Xuzhou.
Liu Bei thought about it in his mind, looked at Jian Yong and Sun Qian, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although both of them are low-class counselors, they really came up with a good idea this time, not bad!
Although Cao Cao has top counselors like Cheng Yu and others, so what, facing the powerful Huainan soldiers and horses, no matter how many methods they have, there is nothing they can do about it.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei smiled and said, "This is a wonderful message, just as it should be."
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door again, and a voice came in.
"Liu Shijun, Xuzhou sent a messenger."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile knowingly. Although they hadn't seen the messenger yet, they had guessed the purpose of his visit.
Liu Bei raised his head and looked in the direction of the door, feeling full of confidence and feeling that he could control the overall situation.
This feeling is really great!
What happened was just as Liu Bei thought. Xuzhou's messenger Jian Yong hurried in. After saluting, he immediately handed over a letter with both hands.
"Liu Shijun, the matter is urgent. My lord hopes that you can reply as soon as possible."
Liu Bei waved his hand, "You go down first and I will reply to you later."
After the messenger left, Liu Bei opened the letter calmly, unfolded it, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
What happened was as he suspected. Huainan soldiers and horses came to attack Xuzhou. Cao Mengde felt that he was defeated, so he sent people to Xiaopei for help.
"Haha, everyone, things are exactly as we thought."
Liu Bei raised the letter in his hand and said loudly, "Gongyou and Xianhe are right. Cao Mengde came to ask for help and wanted us to go to Xuzhou and drive away the Huainan troops together."
"Haha!"
When everyone heard these words, they couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
Zhang Fei stepped forward, laughed and said, "Big brother is still better. Cao Mengde hasn't sent anyone here yet, but big brother already knows his purpose. Haha, big brother is still better."
Sun Qian stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "Liu Shijun, in this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh, "Gongyou, you are right, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful. We immediately led our troops to watch the battle, haha."
