Yuan Shu was actually considering granting him the title of Dahonglu. After all, he was only a serious problem in Yuan Shu's eyes. It was simply impossible for him to be exposed to outsiders. The most likely option was to give him a nine-year-old man who fit his status but had no rights.
It is best for you to limit yourself.
"Well, in that case, Meng De will take his family north to Jizhou to report on his work."
In fact, he had nothing to say when facing Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. Until now, the system has not prompted him to regain Cao Cao, which proves that he does not really surrender to him.
"As commanded."
Cao Cao also decisively left with fists in his hands, and then left Wan County with his family and went north to Jizhou to chat with the Han Emperor.
After making arrangements for Cao Cao, Yuan Shu did not stop and led the guards north directly, following in Jia Xu's footsteps.
Liu Bei led 30,000 soldiers and horses outside Fuling.
"For what?"
Seeing Liu Bei leading his troops, the defenders outside Fuling immediately stood ready with their swords unsheathed.
"Your Majesty, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, have come especially to seek refuge with Liuzhou Mu. I have here a letter of recommendation from Jingzhou Mu Liu Jingsheng."
Looking at the city wall in front of him, Liu Bei had no choice. He couldn't attack it directly. After all, he came to join others, not to attack Yizhou.
"Liu Bei?
Letter of recommendation from Jingzhou Mu?”
The soldiers on the city were all stunned when they heard Liu Bei's words. Yizhou and Jingzhou were clearly separated, and the water in the well did not interfere with the water in the river. Why did Liu Bei suddenly show up?
"Yes, I would like to inform you."
Liu Bei also smiled, clasped his fists, and saluted the soldiers at the top of the city.
"You wait, I will inform my county magistrate."
Someone who came with a letter of recommendation from Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, must not be an unknown person, so the soldiers in the city did not dare to neglect and went directly to report the news to the county magistrate.
After a while, the county magistrate appeared directly on the city wall. Looking at the army below the city, the county magistrate couldn't help but frown.
"Your Excellency, are you Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?
The former Yanzhou Shepherd?"
The county magistrate also knows a little more. Liu Bei's name is not only famous throughout the world, but also known to some people.
"It's down there."
Seeing that the county magistrate recognized him, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with excitement.
“Mr.
Since it was Liu Bei, the county magistrate had nothing to hesitate. After all, he was considered a relative of the emperor and had served as a herdsman in Yanzhou, so he could not be neglected.
"Okay, Chief Yun, lead your troops to retreat five miles immediately."
Since the other party did not neglect him, Liu Bei could not make things difficult for others and directly ordered Guan Yu to withdraw five miles with his troops.
"promise."
Guan Yu nodded directly to Cheng Nuo, and then retreated five miles with his troops. Only Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Cheng Yu and two hundred personal guards stood under the city.
Seeing Guan Yu leave, the county magistrate on the city wall nodded.
"Open the city gate."
With a creaking sound, Fuling's city gate slowly opened.
"Enter the city."
Seeing the city gate in front of him open, Liu Bei had nothing to say and directly led his men into the city.
"Close the city gate."
As soon as Liu Bei entered the city gate, the county magistrate immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.
"Mr. Xuande, I'm sorry for your neglect."
The county magistrate saw Liu Bei and saluted him directly.
"May I ask your surname?"
Liu Bei also returned the gift to the county magistrate.
"Xiao Ling Wu Ping from Pingfeng."
The county magistrate directly gave his name.
"Magistrate Wu, I am here to seek refuge with Brother Junlang. This is a letter of recommendation from Liu Zhoumu of Jingzhou. I hope to convey it to you."
Liu Bei directly took out the recommendation letter written by Liu Biao from his pocket and handed it to the county magistrate.
"Okay, then please invite Duke Xuande to live in the city. As for the soldiers and horses outside, I will arrange for them to be sent and raised. I will tell Duke Xuande as soon as possible when my lord returns."
The county magistrate received Liu Biao's letter of recommendation and once again clasped his fist at Liu Bei.
"Okay, Liu Bei will follow the arrangements of Magistrate Wu."
Since the county magistrate agreed to help him convey it to Liu Yan, Liu Bei had nothing to say and could only stay in Fuling peacefully. At the same time, Guan Yu's 30,000 troops were stationed outside the city with peace of mind, and Wu Ping also shared Liu Bei's news with Liu Yan.
The letters of recommendation were sent out one after another and sent to Chengdu.
After entering Chengdu, Liu Bei's letter of recommendation was directly handed to Liu Yan.
After reading Liu Biao's recommendation letter, Liu Yan also frowned. After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no idea.
"Immediately recruit Zhao Wei, Dong Fu, Ren An, and Jing Yi to discuss matters."
Since he had no clue, Liu Yan didn't want to scratch his head alone, so he directly called several ministers under his command to come over for discussion.
Not long after, Zhao Wei and the other four met and came to Liu Yan's state pastoral residence.
"Lord."
The four of them saluted Liu Yan together, some of them not understanding what he meant by calling them here.
"Four of you, I just received news from Fuling and a letter of recommendation from Liu Biao. Liu Xuande has now led 30,000 troops outside Fuling, and Liu Biao also wrote a letter recommending Liu Bei to serve me in Yizhou."
Liu Yan didn't want to say so much nonsense, and directly told the news about Liu Bei leading troops to Fuling and Liu Biao's letter of recommendation.
"My lord is talking about the original Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?"
Hearing Liu Yan's abrupt words, the four of them were stunned, but Zhao Wei was the first to react.
"It's the Yanzhou Shepherd, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande."
Liu Yan nodded towards Zhao Wei.
"My lord, Liu Bei's ability to be a herdsman in Yanzhou is naturally unparalleled. He not only has two powerful generals like Zhang, but he also has a wise man like Cheng Yu to help him. If he is allowed to enter Yizhou, he will be in serious trouble after all."
Zhao Wei glanced at Liu Yan and expressed his concerns directly. Although Liu Yan had now established a firm foothold in Yizhou and ordered Zhang Lu to occupy Hanzhong and cut off the connection between Yizhou and the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was a strong man.
Long, if he enters Yizhou, I'm afraid Liu Yan will not be able to suppress him.
"Then we won't let him enter Yizhou?"
After listening to Zhao Wei's words, Liu Yan also had thoughts. He had not ruled Yizhou for a long time. If Liu Bei was allowed to enter Sichuan rashly, he might indeed cause trouble.
"Lord, I think Liu Bei should be allowed to enter Sichuan. Now that the Central Plains War is about to end, Liangzhou, Sizhou, and Yongzhou have all fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu. If Jingzhou is really captured by Yuan Shu, then his next target will definitely be Yizhou.
, if Yuan Shu sends troops to attack by then, we may not be able to fight alone. After letting him in, we will send him to Hanzhong to guard with Zhang Lu. As long as Hanzhong does not lose Yizhou, we will be fine."
Contrary to Zhao Wei's concerns, Dong Fu was opposed. He believed that Yuan Shu would definitely turn his guns to attack Yizhou after finishing Jingzhou. He just happened to join forces with Liu Bei and let him work with him to protect Yizhou's security.
"It makes sense."
Dong Fu's advice is also very useful. He has only occupied Yizhou for a short time and has only a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Of these, 50,000 soldiers and horses are being deployed by Zhang Lu to block the connection between Yizhou and the imperial court. There are still 50,000 soldiers and horses.
He was guarding around Chengdu, while another 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses were guarding the connected areas of the barbarians. Now that the barbarians had not yet been pacified, they often invaded the hinterland of Yizhou, which made him extremely annoyed. If Liu Bei could help him jointly defend Hanzhong, it would be too
It's a good move.
"My lord, I'm afraid it's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. If Yuan Shu fails to capture Jingzhou and lets Liu Bei develop in Hanzhong, I'm afraid it won't be Yuan Shu who comes first, but Liu Bei."
Zhao Wei still disagrees with Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan. If Liu Bei attacks him before Yuan Shu does, he will not be in trouble.
"Don't worry, Liu Bei will never dare to have such thoughts now. After all, Yuan Shu's army may come at any time. If he dares to turn against him and lead an army to attack, it will not be our own business.
As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. When the time comes, we can only give Yuan Shu an advantage. As long as he is not stupid, he can only safely defend Yizhou for us."
Dong Fu didn't take it seriously at all. Liu Bei was a lost dog now. He was beaten from Yanzhou to Jingzhou, and then fled from Jingzhou to Yizhou. He didn't think it was a serious problem at all. Moreover, he didn't dare to do it now, as long as he couldn't kill him easily.
, then the only one who will benefit in the end is Yuan Shu.
"What do you two think?"
Liu Yan glanced at the two of them and then turned his attention to Ren An and Jing Yi.
"My lord, I think what Brother Keqing said is absolutely true. Liu Bei is not a mediocre person. If he really goes to Sichuan, we can't control him. Rather than letting him come, we might as well just avoid him and block him out of Fuling."
Ren'an heard Liu Yan's question, thought for a moment, and then clasped his fists to support Zhao Wei's decision.
"My lord, Lord Mao'an and I have the same idea. Yuan Shu's family will come to attack Yizhou sooner or later. If we shut Liu Bei out now, it would be nothing more than breaking his own arm. If my lord is worried about him going to Hanzhong, you can let Liu Bei go to Hanzhong."
If he can lead an army to attack the Southern Barbarians, if he can solve the problems of the Southern Barbarians, we can liberate 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses even if we have to defend them, wouldn’t it be better?”
