Chapter 480 Xuande's Heroism
Following Liu Bei's questioning.
The bride is no longer the focus of the wedding.
The focus shifted to the dark and big Zhou Cang.
Entering the bridal chamber is a big deal for a man.
It's about dignity.
When interrupted, dignity is lost.
The guests are very dissatisfied, what is the big deal, let's talk about it.
Zhou Cang was under a lot of pressure, not because of the hostile gazes around him, but because of the matter itself, he said in a deep voice, "Yuan Tan led an army of 30,000 magic tricks to suppress the situation..."
Immediately, someone shouted, who had been waiting to scold Zhou Cang, "What a big deal, isn't it that Yuan Tan led an army of 30,000 magic tricks to suppress... the bed!"
Everyone was shocked.
Pressing the bed is to find someone who has given birth to a son the day before the wedding to press it, which is a good omen.
Is this a press?
This is simply life-threatening!
All of a sudden, there were exclamations from each other, spreading from here to the gate of the mansion.
Even the servant girls exclaimed.
It can be seen that the name of the shadow tree of people.
The eldest son of the Yuan family led 30,000 people to press the bed, but it still collapsed, it was unbearable.
The eldest son is really cruel and merciless, just as congratulatory gifts were sent here, soldiers came to fight over there.
But everyone also understands that in the struggle for world hegemony, you are friends with private affairs, and you will never show mercy when you are with the public.
As the lord of Xuzhou, Liu Bei stood there motionless at this moment, his face paler than after he was awarded the title of swordsman just now.
You must know that Xuzhou claims to have an army of 100,000, but in fact Liu Bei can only use about 60,000 troops.
And everyone in the world knows that the combat power of the Shence Army is not as simple as doubling.
It's just like Xiang Yu's army, the overlord of Chu back then, 30,000 dared to fight against 300,000.
Liu Bei originally thought that Yuan Tan's entry into Qingzhou was a plan for the Yuan family to go south to fight Cao Cao.
Unexpectedly, when he first came to Qingzhou, he was stabbed in the face.
"What is it?" A sweet voice came from under the red hijab. The bride wondered why she wasn't taken into the bridal chamber, and exclaimed.
The servant girl hastily said in a low voice: "Ma'am, Yuan Tan led an army of 30,000 to suppress the border..."
"What!" It was obvious that Mi Huan was shaking, and it seemed that this newcomer needed to suppress his shock.
After Liu Bei's initial surprise, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of guests, his expression gradually stabilized.
It's not tough, but confident.
He was not afraid of Yuan Tan's arrival.
A few days ago, he received a letter from Cao Cao reminiscing about the past.
After discussing with Chen Dengjian, Yongsun Qian and others, I realized that this was Cao Cao's show of favor.
Obviously, Cao Cao also realized that Yuan Tan's relocation of Shence Mansion to Qingzhou was a signal for the Yuan family to go south.
Facing the southward movement of the Yuan family, the people of the Central Plains are like the Six Kingdoms facing Qin.
But you must know that the Yuan family is not as powerful as Qin, and the Yuan family is not invincible.
As long as the princes of the Central Plains do not fight among themselves, the Yuan family will face the fate of Dong Zhuo.
Wang Yun, Liu Yu, and most of the Han officials in the court were against the Yuan family.
If Liu Bei and Cao Cao are in a group, then Yuan Shu, who has a deep hatred for Yuan Shao, will also join.
The entire Central Plains became one, and after defeating the Yuan family, the situation of the entire world would change drastically.
It seems that only princes like Liu Bei who have only one state will have a chance to rise.
Use defense instead of offense.
Liu Bei has already figured out a strategy against Yuan Tan's invasion.
It is believed that Yuan Tan's dispatch of troops this time is a tentative act.
Just let him know the difficulty and retreat.
So he became more calm, and immediately said: "Second and third brothers, call up the army immediately to face Yuan Tan."
After finishing speaking, she directly tore off the big red flower in front of her heart, and also took off the red ribbon on her hair bun.
Just glanced at Mi Huan for a while,
I'm afraid the red hijab won't be lifted today.
stride away.
The guests gave way one after another, with expressions of admiration at the same time.
Zhang Fei said anxiously: "Brother, are you not in the bridal chamber?"
"A man's ambition is everywhere, to protect his family and defend his country. Now that he is under pressure from soldiers, what kind of house do he still need?" Liu Bei reprimanded seriously.
Liu Bei was worried that Yuan Tan would make more breakthroughs at the border after a long time.
Secondly, it is also a high-profile gesture for guests from Xuzhou to see. He is a person who puts the great cause first, and is a master worth following and relying on.
This lets the whole world know how Liu Bei is.
That afternoon.
It was supposed to be a time for banquets and congratulations.
Now it's a swearing-in meeting.
The guests did not come in vain, and changed to cheer for Liu Bei's expedition at this moment.
Liu Bei is in full military uniform, and with Guan Yu, Chen Deng, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Liu Pi and other generals, he is ready to lead an army of 50,000 troops.
Zhang Fei and Sun Qian were left behind, while Jian Yong guarded Xiapi.
"Brother, why don't you let me go with you?" Zhang Fei rode on the horse, staring dissatisfied eyes.
Holding a double-pronged sword in his hand, Liu Bei said earnestly: "Yide, Xiapi is the foundation of our brothers, and the most important thing is to guard here. There are also important things to transport food and grass to the front line, and Yide needs to guarantee it." You are here, you must listen to Sun Qian."
In fact, Liu Bei's main reason for going here was to defend, while Zhang Fei was irritable, fearing that he would not be able to control himself and confront Yuan Tan head-on.
"Why should I listen to him?" Zhang Fei was even more dissatisfied.
Liu Bei said: "Then, you swear to God, you must not drink until Yun Chang and I come back. Only in this way can you take charge of the overall situation."
Zhang Fei obviously hesitated, but immediately raised a hand, "Okay, I, Zhang Fei, swear to the sky, if I break my oath, I will die a terrible death, and I will be killed by a villain."
He is a fierce general of the generation, it would be too humiliating to be killed by a villain casually, and it would be a poisonous oath.
Only then did Liu Bei leave in peace.
As the 50,000 troops marched north, there were only 10,000 troops left to guard Xiapi, and most of them needed to transport food and grass.
Xiapi is the hinterland, and there is no need to keep so many soldiers.
The army is far away, and the yellow dust is billowing.
When the guests saw this situation, they sighed endlessly.
"It's a good wedding, just like this was disturbed by the eldest son of the Yuan family."
"I don't know if Duke Xuande can withstand Yuan Tan's attack this time."
"Didn't Duke Xuande say that when he left, Yuan Shao's army didn't move? This is just Yuan Tan's personal behavior."
"There won't be too much time left for Yuan Tan. You must know that Qingzhou is also very empty at the moment. If Cao Cao sends troops, Yuan Tan will have the risk of being cut off."
Speaking of Cao Cao, this is another great prince in people's hearts.
Sitting in Yanzhou, Yanzhou, Luoyang area, Chang'an area.
Moreover, Cao Cao and the Yuan family have a deep hatred.
Therefore, everyone believed in Liu Bei's analysis.
"This time, I'm afraid the eldest son will return without success."
Everyone went back home, and they didn't look very worried.
Li Ru was also in the team on the return journey, and he was very lonely all the time, few people talked to him.
He didn't care, these people only thought that the eldest son would return without success, but they didn't know that the eldest son had far-sighted plans.
After this incident, when these people met him again, would they still be as arrogant and disdainful as they are today?
And Lu Bu owed Yuan Tan too much.
Although this is also suspected of breaking the situation of the princes of the Central Plains, it can pave the way for the Yuan family to go south.
But it is an indisputable fact that the land of one state was sent, plus the relationship between the major general and the eldest son, and Lu Bu has no other children.
In the future, the relationship between the two parties will definitely be extraordinary.
Li Ru couldn't help recalling the changes in Lu Bu's mentality during this period of time.
Having experienced so many things, Marquis Wen would never depend on others. However, Marquis Wen, who has only one daughter, has great ambitions for the future...
At this time, Li Ru saw Zhang Fei's figure, and he admired Yuan Tan very much in his heart.
"The eldest son is really a fortune teller, he really counted on Zhang Fei to stay behind."
So according to the plan, I took Latiao and Moutai to find the original Xuzhou commander Cao Bao.
