Pei Yuanshao came to see Guan Hai and told everything. Guan Hai knew that Zhou Cang had left, and was afraid that others would leave quietly as well. If he could use Zuo Aoran's reputation to collect the remaining Yellow Turbans, then he would not only
He became stronger and more respected by Zuo Aoran! Guan Hai made up his mind and came with Pei Yuanshao to see the saint Zhang Ning. After hearing Guan Hai's idea, Zhang Ning immediately agreed to Guan Hai and join him.
Action, Zhang Ning also wants her man to know that she is a different woman who can do many things for him.
Liu Pi and Gong both saw that Guan Hai had surrendered, and Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao turned against each other. Zhou Cang led his troops to escape, and Pei Yuanshao defected to Guan Hai. They knew that Beihai was not a place where they could stay for a long time, and they might be killed if they stayed, so after some discussion,
The two led their troops and rushed to Runan (which belonged to Yuzhou in ancient times, and Yuzhou was among the nine continents, and Runan was also located in Yuzhou, so it was called "Tianzhong") at night.
Du Yuan and Liao Hua first heard that Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao turned against each other. Zhou Cang led his troops to Woniu Mountain and Pei Yuanshao surrendered to Guan Hai. They also heard that Liu Pi and Gong Du left Beihai at night to join Runan. Liao Hua then decided to persuade Du Yuan to go.
To vote for Zuo Aoran, Du Yuan first persuaded Liao Hua, saying that his brother Du Xing was originally a personal guard of Marshal Bo Cai. Bo Cai was defeated, and his brother Du Xing was also killed by Zuo Aoran, so he and Zuo Hua
Ao Ran has an sworn hatred. Now that Zuo Ao Ran is powerful, we are invincible. We should lead the troops away from this dangerous place and plan to attack them in the future. Liao Hua does not dare to disobey Du Yuan's wishes because his troops are weak and outnumbered.
So together with Du Yuan, he led his troops away from Beihai and went to Xuchang.
Han Zhong and Sun Xia had the smallest troops. As the saying goes: Even a persimmon can be pinched softly! So Guan Hai’s first choice was Han Zhong and Sun Xia. Guan Hai led the troops under the banner of Zuo Aoran.
When they arrived, the two were preparing to escape. Guan Hai took advantage of the chaos and led his troops in. Pei Yuanshao captured Han Zhong alive. Guan Hai killed Sun Xia with a sword and recruited the two men's troops. Guan Hai wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack Liu Pi, but
Gong Du, Liao Hua, Du Yuan and others did not expect the sergeant to report that they had already escaped at night, leaving only empty camps!
There was no other way. Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao could only escort Han Zhong, bring the team, old, weak, women and children to see Zuo Aoran, and tell Zuo Aoran everything that happened above. Zuo Aoran knew everything, and he felt very happy in his heart.
It was extremely angry, because Guan Hai, Pei Yuanshao, and the noisy Zhang Ning disrupted Zuo Aoran's overall plan. Zuo Aoran originally thought that he could integrate all the Beihai Yellow Turbans, but he did not expect that these three radicals
Disrupted!
However, Zuo Aoran could not punish them severely, not because of Zhang Ning, but because Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao led the army to surrender. If they were severely punished, it would easily lead to a mutiny. This is what Zuo Aoran did not want to see, so
Zuo Aoran could only suppress the anger in his heart, scolded them severely, and asked them to go back and prepare for moving to Bingzhou.
Zuo Aoran and Zhang Ning stayed together for three whole days. Seeing that everything was almost arranged, Zuo Aoran said goodbye to Liu Bei. At this time, Zhang Ning also left and returned to Xu Wushan to meet his father Zhang Jiao. Liu Bei originally
He wanted to go into Beihai with Zuo Aoran, but Zuo Aoran said that he did not want to see such an ungrateful person. If it were not for the people of Beihai, he would not come to rescue him at all. When Zuo Aoran left, he borrowed
Zuo Aoran took away a thousand infantry under Liu Bei's command, just in case, fearing that these Yellow Turban troops would betray him, he even gave Kong Rong a large amount of grain in the name of rescuing Beihai.
After Zuo Aoran left, Kong Rong, in order to thank Liu Bei for inviting troops to help, held a banquet in honor of Liu Bei's people. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Kong Rong introduced a man to see Liu Bei. This man was about twenty-two or three years old. Liu Bei watched.
In short, this person does not have the heroic spirit of a military commander or the Confucianism of a scholar, but he has the odor of copper that a businessman carries.
Liu Bei looked at Kong Rong and asked: "Kong Beihai, who is this?"
"My surname is Mi, my given name is Zhu, and my courtesy name is Zizhong. I am a native of Qu County, Donghai, and I am currently working for Mr. Tao of Xuzhou." Mi Zhu said respectfully.
"Oh, it turns out it's Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong from Xuzhou, one of the four richest merchants in the world. Liu Xuande is so polite." Liu Bei stood up and saluted.
"Xuzhou is in danger now. Tao Gong sent me to ask for help from Prefect Kong! Unexpectedly, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves came to surround Beihai just as I was about to attack Beihai. Now that I heard that Liu Envoy has come to Beihai, I hope that you will spare no effort and come to Beihai again.
Let’s go to Xuzhou.” Mi Zhu said.
As soon as Mi Zhu said this, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in the hall were all shocked. Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Why is Xuzhou in danger? Is it possible that there are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops besieging Xuzhou?"
"At the beginning of this month, Cao Song, the father of Cao Cao, was on his way to the border of Yanzhou. He passed by our border of Xuzhou on the way. Tao Gong Dayi personally led all his men to greet him outside Xuzhou City and invited him to stay in Xuzhou City for a while. There was a big banquet for three days.
God, I wanted to stay a little longer, but Mr. Cao insisted on leaving, so Tao Gong refused to stay. He wanted to send him out of Xuzhou himself, but the second son of the family was seriously ill, and Tao Gong could not escape, so he ordered his captain Zhang
Kai led five hundred troops to escort him. Zhang Kai was originally a Yellow Turban general, and Tao Gong loved his talent and treated him courteously. How could you imagine that Zhang Kai was so determined to kill Cao Cao's father and his family, robbed his property, and escaped without a trace, and Cao Cao even more
He was indiscriminate, did not chase the thieves, and rebelled against Tao Gong. Now he sent tens of thousands of troops to Xuzhou to avenge his father. Although Xuzhou had tens of thousands of armored soldiers, they might not be enough to face Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army.
, so Tao Gong ordered me to come here at starry night. Prefect Kong agreed to send troops, and Qingzhou Governor and Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan agreed to send troops together. I sincerely request Liu Shijun to also send troops to support to relieve the military disaster in Xuzhou. I will lead thousands of people in Xuzhou.
The people thank Liu Shijun!" Mi Zhu said and bowed, and Kong Rong on the side ordered someone to present Tao Qian's letters to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei took the letter and watched it with the two brothers. (Don't think that Zhang Fei is illiterate except for being fierce. He even drew pictures of ladies when he was a child, and his handwriting is very cursive. If you think Zhang Fei is illiterate,
That would be a big mistake). Liu, Guan and Zhang were all speechless after reading it.
Kong Rong saw that Liu Bei was deep in thought and was silent, so he said: "Now Cao Cao sends troops to attack Xuzhou in the name of revenge for his father. This is fine. However, Cao Cao indulges the soldiers and slaughters them in Xuzhou. Wherever they go, chickens and dogs will not be killed."
"Liu, how can I not care about such unconscionable things, so I want to raise troops and go to rescue Xuzhou, Xuande, this matter concerns millions of people in Xuzhou, I hope you will not refuse!"
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Okay, I have become the one who rushes around to save people. However, Cao Cao went too far this time, killing everyone he passed. Why didn't Xu Rong kill him back then?
It can also eliminate a lot of harm for the people!"
Liu Bei made a mournful cry and said: "It's not that Bei refused deliberately, but the fact is that Pingyuan City is small and powerful, and my men are not good enough. Second General Zhang only has about two thousand soldiers. Marshal Zuo even borrowed all of Bei's men before."
As for the infantry, I only have 800 cavalry left. With such a force, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with Cao Cao for supremacy!"
Kong Rong heard Liu Bei's words and said angrily: "Xuande, I saved Xuzhou, firstly because of my old friendship with Tao Gongzu, and secondly, for the sake of righteousness, to save the people from fire and water. You are also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so of course
If you take righteousness as your top priority, how can you watch the people of Xuzhou being massacred by Cao Cao?"
"How can I just sit back and ignore such a righteous matter?!" Liu Bei said with a straight face: "In that case, please let Wen Ju lead the troops first. Rong Bei went to Zuo Aoran and borrowed three to five thousand troops and horses, and then went to
Aid Xuzhou!"
Kong Rong then turned from anger to joy and said: "In this case, then there is Lao Xuande. I just hope that I can go back as soon as possible. Don't break your promise!"
When Liu Bei heard this, his expression became even more worried. He stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were both full of anger. He said sternly: "Who do you think Bei is? The sage said: Since ancient times, there has been death. If a person does not have faith, he will not stand! Be prepared for this.
Regardless of whether Fan can borrow men or horses, he will definitely lead the army to Xuzhou in person!" After saying this, he cupped his hands in front of everyone, turned around and left the government office, but he didn't even eat the banquet, and hurried to find his junior brother Zuo Aoran to borrow troops.
