In the main hall of the backyard of the Xuzhou Government Office, Zhang Feixing hurriedly walked in. When he saw Liu Bei, he said anxiously: "I just received a letter from my second brother. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army agreed to send troops to encircle and suppress Yuan Shu!"
"Very good!"
Liu Bei's face was full of joy and he said excitedly: "I didn't expect the leader of Qingzhou Yellow Turban to be so easy to talk to!"
"Brother, would you like to ask Cao Bao and Xiao Pei to come and take a look?"
Zhang Fei didn't care about so many, and laughed and said: "Let them see that we also have allies!"
"Yes, yes, it's settled!"
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's indeed the case. It's not that our three brothers don't have allies, so we can stop them from worrying about other things!"
…
When Cao Bao received the notice, he was confused and a little confused.
"What do you mean by Ambassador Liu?"
As a representative figure of a large family in Xuzhou, the Cao family has nothing to do with Cao Cao's Cao family, but their strength is equally strong, and they are a force that cannot be ignored in Xuzhou.
Cao Bao's ability can only be said to be at the third-rate level, whether it is martial arts or ability, but because of the Cao family, he was one of the top military bosses in Xuzhou, whether in the Qian Qian era or the Liu Bei era.
As an aristocratic family, they naturally have a lot of disciples. Even if their abilities are not that outstanding, it is not difficult to help them analyze the situation.
"Master, according to some estimates, Liu Shijun's move is intended to demonstrate!"
"I also have this idea. The impression Liu Shijun gave us before was that fighting alone cannot last long. Now he doesn't even care about the taboo of the Yellow Turban. What is this if not a demonstration?"
"This is undeniable. A certain family is very curious as to what the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is capable of, allowing Liu Shijun to treat him so seriously. This matter needs to be carefully considered!"
"Oh, they are just a bunch of rioters, just the Yellow Turbans. I think Liu Shijun is a treasure. When they get to a certain house, I must give them a good look. I'm afraid Liu Shijun will lose his head!"
"..."
After listening to the analysis of the diners, Cao Bao's originally anxious heart slowly calmed down.
In other words, lack of ability and lack of strength are not good.
Even if there is strong family support behind him, in the current situation where princes are vying for hegemony, the consequences of failing to achieve their own abilities and military strength are huge, and the voice is not loud enough.
He didn't have much objection to Liu Bei, it was just that they had to fight for their own interests, but Liu Bei's two brothers were extremely difficult to get in touch with, and the dignified head of the Cao family like him had been disgraced many times, which made Cao Bao quite unhappy.
.
At the other end of the Xiaopei government office, Lu Bu also received Liu Bei's invitation, looking baffled.
"Sir, look, what does Liu Bei mean by this?"
Looking at Chen Gong who was sitting on the side dealing with official duties, he asked with confusion on his face: "Is there any problem with such an invitation coming suddenly?"
After Chen Gong heard this, he put down his official duties and took a look at the invitation, with a look of doubt on his face as well.
"I don't know, it's hard to guess Liu Shijun's thoughts!"
He shook his head and chuckled: "But since he invited Marquis Wen to have a look, Marquis Wen should go there. I heard that Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang came to Qingzhou to invite him this time, so Marquis Wen might as well take a good look!
"
laugh……
Lu Bu's face was full of disdain and he sneered: "Liu Bei didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, but he did such a trick, isn't he afraid of losing face?"
They are just a bunch of Yellow Turbans. How can they be so powerful?
It's not that he looks down on people, that's the fact.
If Taiping Taoist advocated that Jiao was still there, he would probably have to take it seriously. Zhang Jiao's strength was really not just a boast, but even with Lu Bu's bravery, he would not dare to fight lightly.
It's a pity that there is only one Zhang Jiao in the Yellow Turban Army, who was beaten to death by the imperial masters long ago. Apart from him, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are nothing at all. As for the so-called Thirty-six Fangqu Commandery, it is even more difficult to get into his ranks.
Eye of Dharma.
It is simply ridiculous to think that Liu Bei would regard the Qingzhou Yellow Turban as a treasure.
"Does Marquis Wen know that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun?"
Chen Gong changed the topic and said with a smile: "Liu Shijun has always called himself a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If he encounters such a rebellious person, he will naturally conquer him personally!"
Lu Bu's eyes flashed and he said excitedly: "Sir, has our opportunity come?"
What is the nature of a tiger or a wolf? Lu Bu's performance is the best proof. As the true number one general in the world, he is naturally unwilling to be inferior to others.
Not even Yuan Shao, let alone Liu Bei, who was far less powerful.
If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hadn't made him a little afraid, Lu Bu would have sent troops to drive away Liu Bei and occupy Xuzhou.
Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and said in an ethereal tone: "There is a chance. It depends on what the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army looks like this time. Is it worthy of Liu Shijun's serious treatment?"
"Well, let's go and see a certain family!"
Although he was very dissatisfied, Lu Bu decided to take a look first before talking.
…
Rumble…
The ground trembled as the horses rushed forward, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the austere military aura could be clearly sensed even from thousands of miles away.
There was silence at the top of the Xuzhou Administrative Office. Whether it was Liu Bei, the official leader, the invited representatives of the Xuzhou family, or Lu Bu, who was temporarily living in Xiaopei, all of them looked serious at this time and were shocked in their hearts.
They were all shocked by the overwhelming military might displayed by the two million Yellow Turban Cavalry that swept in like a tide from thousands of miles away.
Although the soaring military aura revealed by the two million Yellow Turban Army did not solidify in the void, still, the formidable military aura rushing towards them still roared in like a tide, making them feel uncomfortable as if they were on the battlefield.
Elite, definitely an elite teacher!
Military Qi Condensation is an absolutely elite force, and an army that can reveal military Qi and influence the minds of others cannot be underestimated.
Looking at the whole of Xuzhou, there are not many people who can reach the military level of the two million Yellow Turban elite cavalry that rushed quickly. Apart from Liu Bei's most elite troops, only Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"Liu Shijun, I didn't expect that the Yellow Turban cavalry invited this time would be so elite!"
Various thoughts were flashing in his mind, and Lu Bu had a natural look of defiance on his face. His voice was so heavy that people couldn't help but feel depressed, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in the city: "I don't know how much price Liu Shijun paid."
?”
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the city of Xuzhou immediately changed.
Cao Bao's expression suddenly changed. He did not expect that the Yellow Turban Cavalry invited by Liu Bei would be so elite and so numerous. They were definitely a powerful force.
As mentioned in the previous article, although Xuzhou is rich, it does not have many war horses, so it needs to be purchased from the big border states.
Youzhou is currently in the middle of a war, and the procurement channels for military horses have basically been cut off. Even if there are still some loopholes to exploit, the price to pay is too heavy. Even the Cao family where Cao Bao lives can only barely pull in the war.
The scale starts from 500,000 riders.
No matter how much it is, it is not impossible to support it, but the consumption is too huge and there is no need.
Although he is the leader of the Xuzhou military, he has Liu Bei before him and he has no role as the leader of Xuzhou. Naturally, he does not need to spend too much time strengthening Xuzhou's military. As long as he can protect his position in the Xuzhou army,
There are also family interests.
Lu Bu's words reminded him that since Liu Bei could invite the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to help him, he could also do something about it.
Apart from anything else, if we can win over or even incorporate this powerful Yellow Turban elite cavalry, it will be of great benefit to Cao Bao himself and the Cao family behind him.
In his opinion, the Yellow Turban Army is just a group of bandits who can be bought as long as they are willing to spend money, just like the Taishan bandits who also joined the Yellow Turbans.
"Marquis Wen is joking!"
Liu Bei's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly and confidently: "This invitation to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to assist in the battle is also a temporary move. I did not expect that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army would give face to me in this way, which makes me feel a little uneasy!"
This is indeed true. He had previously sent his second brother Guan Yu to Qingzhou to invite the Yellow Turban Army to assist in the battle, but he never expected that the other party would agree so readily and even send two million elite cavalry over in one go.
Two million elite cavalry with a strong military spirit, if they want to cause trouble, are enough to turn the entire Xuzhou upside down, and it can even be said to be a ferocious field battle across Xuzhou.
Obviously, it can be seen from the expressions of the people around that they simply do not believe such 'truth'.
Think about it, Liu Bei is not a powerful prince who is famous all over the world, he is just a lucky man who, under the banner of Han clan clan, was valued by his predecessor Xuzhou Muqian and entrusted Xuzhou to his trust.
What virtues and abilities does he have? What kind of qualifications and charisma does he have? He can just invite the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to send two million elite cavalry to assist in the battle. If there is no reason for it, they will not believe it even if they are beaten to death.
Liu Bei was also helpless, thinking that no one would believe him if he told the truth, so he was too lazy to continue talking nonsense.
kindness?
Lu Bu's expression suddenly changed slightly. With his strength, he could clearly see the Yellow Turban Jingqi thousands of miles away.
That's why he looked quite surprised.
What did he see? Two million Yellow Turban knights, all of them were wearing leather armor, with breastplates on their chests and pauldrons on their shoulders!
Damn it, only a few great princes in the world can afford such equipment. When did the Yellow Turban Army become so heroic?
Even half of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under his command don't have any armor on them, okay?
"Everyone, let's go down and wait!"
Liu Bei's voice came. Although the senior officials of Xuzhou had their own ideas, they did not lose Liu Bei's face at this time. In addition, they were indeed curious, so they followed Liu Bei down the city wall and waited.
The momentum created by the two million elite cavalry was quite astonishing. When they were five hundred miles away, except for the tens of thousands of elite cavalry in the center who continued to move forward, the rest of the yellow turban elite cavalry stopped advancing, dismounted and set up camp on the spot.
.
"It turned out to be Ziyi who came in person with his army!"
Seeing Guan Yu approaching with a yellow scarf general accompanied by him, Liu Bei saw that he was an acquaintance and greeted him with surprise and joy on his face.
"You are so polite!"
Taishi Ci turned over and dismounted, walked over in a few strides, raised his hands and said with a smile: "On this trip, two million yellow turban elite cavalry should be invited by the emperor to participate in the battle to quell Yuan Shu!"
