(Accept everyone's advice, restrain yourself, try not to make big jokes with bad taste, and feel a little sad, and I always feel that it is uncomfortable if I don't write it out. Forget it, let's put it in the distant future. After all, I'm just a little newcomer, and I don't have much writing skills, so I can't be too stinky. I'm going to have a small outburst today, and there will be another update later. Please give me a small push and a small tunnel.)

******************************

Liu Bei's words were right. According to Cao Cao's strategy, Cao Ren guarded Wancheng and led his troops to the west of Runan. Xiahou Yuan returned to Yangdi in Yingchuan and displayed them east of Runan. The two echoed each other and formed a horn-like forceps, like a huge crab claw, which clamped Runan County steadily, making it unable to move and unable to stretch.

If Cao Cao arranged this layout completely unconsciously and aimlessly, I am afraid that even a fool would not believe it, let alone a monkey spirit among people like Liu Bei.

Cao Cao is indeed going to attack Runan County!

In this way, it is no wonder that Liu Bei solemnly invited Yuan Shang to the back garden.

After all, the war is urgent, and Liu Bei must deal with it carefully. A little bit of preparation is the second step, losing ground and sank into the city. It is the top priority to be at the forefront of being unable to protect one's life.

Of course, Liu Bei didn't know that most of the reason why Xiahou Yuan would return to Yingchuan was Yuan Shang.

If Yuan Shang hadn't been naughty, how could he have led Xiahou Yuan back to Yingchuan to guard?

If Liu Bei knew the truth, I wonder if he would have stabbed him with a knife?

.............

The two were silent for a long time. When they were young, Yuan Shang calmed down and said softly: "Duke Xuande, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren joined forces with each other, which is a sign that Cao Cao took action against Runan. This matter was probably what Xuande Gong expected long ago?"

Liu Bei's gaze flashed when he heard this, touched his beard and chuckled, "Didn't you understand what you said in a good way? I hope to hear it carefully."

Yuan Shang smiled indifferently, turned around and leaned against the bridge, rubbed his nails, and looked at the starry night sky, saying, "The wise man doesn't say secret words. Since I met honestly, why should Duke Xuande pretend to be confused? Everyone knows that Duke Xuande and Cao Cao have different hatreds of heaven and are so cruel to peel flesh and sleep. Duke Xuande always wanted to swallow Cao Cao for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao wanted to kill you day and night because of the edict of his clothes and belts. Although Cao Cao is mainly fighting with the Hebei army at present, if you are hatred, I am afraid that he will be more than a hundred times more to you than to our army?"

Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged when he heard this. He neither admitted nor denied it. He said calmly: "Cao Cao hates me and is not very clear... According to the prince's wishes, how should he be better for the current situation?"

After grinding his nails, Yuan Shang blew gently and said with a smile: "Duke Xuande's words is up to the point. In fact, this is also my purpose here on my father's order! This time I led Zhang He and Gao Lan to come here. To disrupt Cao Cao's rear, but in fact, I was to help Xuande Gong sit firmly in Ru, Ying and unify the entire Yuzhou area! After all, the enemy of our two armies is Cao Cao, and Xuande Gong also stayed in Hebei for a while, and was an old friend with my father. With my father's character and friends in trouble, how could he watch the wall?"

Liu Bei did not show any expression, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and said slowly: "So, my nephew led his troops here this time, and he came here specifically on his father's order to help me? If so, would you really have to thank you very well?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and smiled, "I can't say that helps you, at most, it's an auxiliary, yes, auxiliary! Just help you. Besides, if Duke Xuande wants to defeat Cao Ren and others, he will be in the territory of Ruying. There is indeed a slight shortage of troops and generals? Is it not a big helper for you this time?"

Liu Bei was silent for a while when he heard this, then suddenly laughed to the sky, shook his head while laughing, "I am so eloquent and very proud of my words. It's really admirable. Yes, what you said makes sense and conform to the current situation. Nine out of ten are the truth, but there is one thing that makes Bei disagree."

Yuan Shang's smile remained unchanged and said modestly: "Where is there any problem? Please ask Duke Xuande to correct me?"

Liu Bei touched his beard and said calmly: "Any tenth of what the nephew said can be said to be true and false, but this part is false, but it is the false, which covers your purpose. You just said that you came here to be ordered by the Lord to help our army occupy the entire territory of Yuzhou, but to protect it, it is just the opposite. The nephew entered the heartland of the Central Plains and it is difficult to return to Hebei. Therefore, when we think of our army, we want to inspire our army to attack Cao, and take advantage of the chaos to fight for you a gap of return to Hebei. This is your real purpose here. Haha, Bei has to admire the eloquence of our nephew. It should have been our army's help. Why did the words come to your mouth and turn them over?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Bei quietly.

Liu Bei smiled and met Yuan Shang's gaze.

The two of them just looked at each other, their eyes as if they were crossing the air with a hot spark, and no one was willing to give in.

It was not until a while before seeing Yuan Shang withdraw his gaze, he lowered his head embarrassedly and said shyly: "Don't look at me with such admiration, I will be shy."

Liu Bei's smile suddenly became a little stiff again.

This bastard boy...

After a while, Liu Bei said, "Nephew, are you talking about it now, who are we helping whom?"

Yuan Shang touched his head, smiled and his handsome face again: "Duke Xuande and I have different opinions. If you continue talking, I am afraid that even if you talk about it tomorrow morning, you will not be able to reach a result. If you have different positions, you will naturally have different directions to look at the problem..."

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this: "This is true."

Yuan Shang continued: "To be the best, since you and our army are allies now, there is no need to help anyone or not. Why do you have to make such trouble if you have a small matter? In one sentence, work together to defeat Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren. You can take what you need and I will take what I think. Isn't it simple?"

Liu Bei laughed and said to the sky, "Okay, okay! You can take what you need, I take what I think. This is my nephew's words that are sincere and not bully me! Let's send troops together, and we will take what we want, and we will take what we want. This is called..."

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "It's a mess."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Liu Bei coughed and his face turned red in an instant.

Joining the crowd? Who can describe yourself like this?

"The word "Nephew" is used a little inappropriately, and I don't think so."

Yuan Shang said curiously: "What does Xuande Gong think we are?"

"Support the Han Dynasty and clear the world! Yes, clear the world! This is the key to the cooperation between our two militaries." Liu Bei seriously corrected Yuan Shang's mistake.

"Okay, since you are happy to listen to this, then I just call it. I don't care about face." Yuan Shang shrugged casually.

Liu Bei was not very happy. Why did he just say something about face? How could his father be so handsome? How could he give such a good person?

This child is really different from his father.

"Since the matter of sending troops has been decided, then Bei will start to rectify the troops today. Taking advantage of Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan's actions, we will attack and kill first and take the lead. After Cao Cao returns, he will have a decisive force!"

Yuan Shang bowed seriously and said, "Duke Xuande was my uncle, and he naturally followed his instructions."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "However, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were stationed in Wancheng and Yingchuan respectively, and they were each other's support. It is not the best way to divide the troops and attack them. It is necessary to take one step forward and defeat them first! In the opinion of a virtuous nephew, should we take Cao Ren first or attack Xiahou Yuan first?"

When Yuan Shang heard this, he lowered his head and thought carefully, and said, "Donald Xuande, in my opinion, Cao Ren has been through battle formations for a long time and is the best at defending. He is also the number one general of the Cao clan. He is often entrusted with important tasks by Cao Cao. It is not easy to pay for the one side... In contrast, although Xiahou Yuan is also a strong general and can fight, he has a violent temper and his weakness in character are still relatively obvious. If we want to take action, we should deal with Xiahou Yuan first!"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "This is a kind and thoughtful nephew's words. However, Xiahou Yuan guards Yingchuan, with strong soldiers and brave generals. We must not send troops rashly. We need to investigate clearly and clarify the enemy's situation before we can make proper preparations."

Yuan Shang nodded in his heart. Liu Bei is worthy of being a war-torn person. He often sees people on the battlefield. He knows the way to win every battle.

"Since that's the case, Duke Xuande will rectify his troops in Runan, and I will lead the troops to Yingchuan to investigate the situation of Xiahou Yuan."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "So good... But the nephew is a distinguished guest. If there is any mistake, the blame will be great. I am not at ease if you go by yourself... In this way, Bei ordered his younger brother Zhang Fei to lead his troops and nephew to go with him. If it is urgent, he can take care of each other. I wonder what the nephew wants?"

Yuan Shang nodded after hearing this and said, "General Zhang Fei can go with me to inquire, I feel more confident. If you are willing to worry about Xuande!"
