"Come on, bury me!"

Liu Xun felt uncomfortable.

If Zhang Ren really colluded with Zhang Xiu, he would definitely fight to the death and would never commit suicide to prove his innocence. At present, Zhang Ren is dead and nothing can be used to say.

Little did they know that there was a hidden danger in the hearts of the generals in Yizhou, because Zhang Ren died in Zhang Xiu's disagreement, which must be caused by Zhang Xiu's disagreement.

Then will they be the next one?

Whether it is Liu Zhang or Guan Yu, they have never trusted them sincerely!

Such a loyal and courageous general will be directly confided by death to show his ambitions. How sad is this? How can it not be disappointed?

Seeing that the generals were in a daze, Liu Xun said solemnly: "Everyone, Zhang Ren colluded with Zhang Xiu with an intention to destroy the coalition forces of our army and Liu Bei. Now he knows that the strategy is leaked and he commits suicide fearing the crime."

Listening to Liu Xun's words, the generals bowed their heads, but did not explain too much, but instead examined their need to be loyal to Liu Zhang again. After all, they had no trust in them.

"Mr. Liu, my lord has led his army to join forces with the leader of the Yuan alliance to capture Chenliu. I will come to welcome you. The military situation is urgent, and I hope Mr. Liu will march quickly."

Guan Yu clasped his fists and said forcefully.

"This is natural. I will order the three armies to rest for a while and march immediately. We will fight for a rush to meet with the leader of the alliance within ten days and conquer Jingzhou." Liu Xun immediately ordered.

As for Zhang Ren, he ignored it.

An irrelevant plan of disagreement took the life of a general in Yizhou, and asked Guan Yu to lead the iron cavalry back to defense. It even made many generals in Yizhou ask themselves in their hearts, it's worth it!

…………

A few days later, Chenliucheng.

In the general's mansion, Huang Zhong ranked first and listed the most important generals.

After listening to the scouts' words, the generals in the hall frowned slightly.

Among them, someone said: "General, Liu Bei's army has arrived now. Including Liu Bei's army, there may be nearly 300,000 enemy troops outside the city. What should we do?"

The generals also nodded. After all, the first legion and Zhao Yun's 20,000 Yun cavalry in their city were only tens of thousands, and the enemy's army was four times more than four times that of them.

"Haha, this is exactly what I want!" Huang Zhong chuckled his beard and then said, "It has been half a month since Wenpin's defeat, and Liu Bei has slowly joined forces, which shows that Xiangyang's plan is correct."

"Liu Bei has great ambitions and is greedy. He really bites Hanoi. These pieces of big meat in Hedong will inevitably offend Yuan Shang in this way. I think Yuan Shang will find a way to let Liu Bei conquer the city, thereby weakening Liu Bei's strength."

Huang Zhong said with a chuckle, a little treacherous.

At first, he resisted the deception, but now it seems so wise. On the one hand, the Central Plains have long been ruined, and the significance of defending is not very important.

On the other hand, shrinking the front line can reduce the pressure on one's own logistics and supplies, and instead increase the pressure on the opponent's grain transport. All they have won is an empty city.

The most important thing is that using these territories can cause some potential conflicts and disputes, which will eventually cause the coalition forces to fall apart and become a mess.

"Hansheng, since Liu Bei is going to attack the city tomorrow, what should we say now? Otherwise, while Liu Bei has not yet gained a foothold, we will withdraw from Chenliu first?"

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and said tentatively.

After all, the Xiangyang side probably gave a strategic arrangement that Huang Zhong withdrew from Chenliu, retreated to Chen State, and joined Yingchuan to form a joint anti-Japanese coalition.

Withdrawal now can be considered as completing the strategic deployment.

"Haha, don't worry! Since you have come, the internal strife will be more serious! Yuan Shang will not act as a force to grow Liu Bei, and he will definitely let him attack the city."

"Then tomorrow, when Liu Bei attacks the city, our army will lose, withdraw from Chenliu and give Chenliu to Liu Bei, so that it will be easier to see how the two of them compete."

Huang Zhong chuckled slightly, his expression a little joking.

"You mean, let Liu Bei occupy Chenliu? This will cause conflicts?" Zhao Yun said, showing joy, as if it was a good choice.

"That's right, but before that, Zilong, you have to take Yun riding outside to respond." Huang Zhong nodded: "In this way, I will have someone launch a surprise attack tonight to attract the enemy's eyes and ears."

"As for your side, first take a photo of Tianmu to investigate, then clear the enemy and then rush out, and do not expose your whereabouts."

"Yeah, okay!" Zhao Yun nodded.

…………

Outside Chenliu City, more than thirty miles away.

Liu Bei was holding a sword and was leading people to camp, changing some layouts.

At this time, General Yuan’s army arrived.

"General Liu, the leader of the alliance will invite you to discuss matters and discuss good strategies for breaking the enemy."

"Well, I'll go here!" Liu Bei did not hesitate, responded, then looked at it, and spoke, "Yide, go with me."

...

After a while, the position of the handsome tent.

Liu Bei took a look in the tent, then bowed expressionlessly and said loudly: "Liu Xuande has met the leader of Alliance Yuan!"

"Hmph, Liu Bei, you are so brave." Yuan Shang slapped the table and immediately scolded: "Did you forget what you said when you established the alliance?"

"Since you have achieved results from head-on battles and shot Wen Pin, why did you stop moving and have not rush to help Chenliu? And as far as I know, you sent someone to conquer Hedong and Hanoi, did you?"

Liu Bei's face was calm. He had thought that this would happen before he came. After all, he was indeed in a disadvantage, but before he could speak, Zhang Fei cursed:

"Damn it, you guys, who have been unable to take Chen Liu with 200,000 people, turned around and blamed my brother. Is it easy to bully me? Believe it or not, I will throw you into a handsome camp now."

Zhang Fei instantly stared at the pupils like a cow, looked at Yuan Shang angrily, and even had a tendency to take action if he had a disagreement.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, the generals in the tent drew their swords.

They frowned and were ready to fight.

The first person, Yuan Shang, had a gloomy cheek and was in a bad mood. This black-faced Zhang Fei was so angry.

"What, am I still afraid of you mobs?" Zhang Fei was also angry and pulled out his sword and was about to take action. I guess in Zhang Fei's eyes, he was really not afraid of these generals.

"Third brother, don't be rude!" Liu Bei pressed down Zhang Fei's arm and shouted.

"Hmph, Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, is this your good brother? He actually threatened to demolish my handsome tent. Isn't this what you Liu Bei mean?"

Yuan Shang was sarcastic and snorted coldly.

"President Yuan misunderstood. My third brother is impatient. I am here to apologize to the leader!" Liu Bei finished speaking without being humble and arrogant, bowing and saluting seriously.

"Brother, you..."

"Shut up!" Liu Bei shouted and explained immediately: "But the leader of the Yuan Dynasty has not been deployed for many days, mainly because there are bandits in several counties around him.

In order to prevent the enemy from cutting off our food route, we can only take this worst approach. I think the leader of the Yuan army also knows the importance of food and grass to the three armies. I hope the leader of the Yuan army will be forgiven!”

Seeing that Liu Bei was talking about this, he didn't say much, but just snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction, and then said: "This leader is not an unreasonable person,"

"But the leader of this alliance attacked Chenliu for some time, and the generals were lost. Now that Xuande, you have arrived, the important task of siege tomorrow will be handed over to your army. How about it!"

After Yuan Shang finished speaking, a dark smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This..." Liu Bei hesitated. Yuan Shao was obviously consuming his strength! After all, a strong attack is not a good thing, and even if he is with Guang in the end, he may not be able to take down Chen Liu.

"What, what's wrong?"

"No, there is nothing wrong with it. But when you get new here, you are mostly cavalry and lack siege equipment. Even if you want to attack, you are still powerless!"

Liu Bei made an expression that he didn't want to attack the city, but he really didn't have equipment.

"Haha, this is easy to deal with! Guo Tu, Ru immediately took people to the camp to transfer half of the siege equipment to Xuande's tent. Go now, no mistakes are allowed!"

Yuan Shang had already thought of Liu Bei's words and blocked Liu Bei with just one sentence!

"This..." Liu Bei was in tears, but now he had to fight hard and just try the situation on the other side. "Bai must do his best to conquer Chen Liu."

"So good!" Yuan Shang chuckled.

"Then you go back first and prepare for a siege tomorrow!"

"Haha, go!" Yuan Shang waved.

Watching Liu Bei leave, Yuan Shang looked cold and clenched his five fingers in turn, "Hmph, Liu Bei wants to capture Chen Liu? See if I can't play with you!"

...

Outside the tent, Liu Bei's expression was still as calm as water.

Zhang Fei, who was following behind, was a little anxious and immediately said irritated: "Lord, this Yuan Shang is really not a thing. He asked us to attack the city as soon as we came. Why didn't he go by himself?"

"Okay, third brother, don't say too much!" Liu Bei told him not to talk nonsense. The alliance is above everything else now. After all, if the coalition forces disperse, the world will be gone!

It is precisely because he has great ambitions and wants to support the Han Dynasty and achieve Liu Xiu's affairs that he chose to endure and compromise, hoping that Yuan Shang did not go too far.

But when a person has power and his opponent chooses to retreat and show weakness, in this case, he will point his finger at the coalition forces in the past.

Among them, when the eighteen princes attacked Dong, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao all did these things. After all, after the opponent showed weakness, what they needed to consider was the competitors in front of them.

When he returned to the camp, Liu Bei was silent. Fa Zheng and Sima Yi were briefly talking, and he knew about the passing from Zhang Fei, and all of them showed a trace of disappointment!

This is the case before Yuan Shang of Jingzhou was captured. If he took Jingzhou, would that be great?

But Sima Yi was studying overnight, thinking about how to fight to look intense, but in fact he didn't suffer much loss. This is a good technique.
