Chapter 574: The Yanzhou Army Courier Enters the City

Cao Ren said to Guo Huai: "Boji, Ma Mengqi has indeed brought his troops back!"

Guo Huai nodded, "Yes, General, now Ma Chao wants to fight Chenyang again and take down the city, but how can Huo Zhongmiao let him do it easily?"

Cao Ren smiled when he heard this. After all, he was ally with Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army and Liu Bei's army, so Huo Jun blocked Ma Chao outside Chenyang City and was not able to make progress. He was of course happy. ▲∴ But speaking of this, there were many festivals with Liu Bei's army, and it was originally considered hostile in nature. So Cao Ren thought that Liu Bei had such talents, and he also wanted to come. If he was standing in the position of Liangzhou Army, he might not be much better than others, and he was not as good as others.

But he wouldn't say this to Guo Huai, so he just smiled and said to Guo Huai: "Now that the Jiangdong army has just been defeated, Ma Chao has always attacked again. Maybe our army can find an opportunity to join forces with the Jiangdong army and Liu Bei army?"

When Guo Huai heard this, he shook his head slightly, "General, it's difficult. How to communicate, this is a problem!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Cao Ren smiled, "Now, while Ma Chao has not brought the Liangzhou army back, why not send people to Chenyang first and contact Liu Bei?"

Guo Huai nodded. He also knew that contacting Liu Bei was simple, but it was not easy to contact the Jiangdong Army. After all, with Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army there, can they easily contact their side with the Jiangdong Army?

"Yes, what the general said is exactly what I thought. It is imperative to contact Liu Xuande now. But I don't know what the general thinks?"

When Cao Ren heard this, he said to Guo Huai: "The Jiangdong Army is separated by Liangzhou Army, so I can only let it go first, but I think there must be no problem with 'there is no way out'!"

"Yes, what the general said!"

Speaking of which, Guo Huai agreed with Cao Ren's words. Because it was really not easy to contact the Jiangdong Army, he could only let it go first, contact Liu Bei first and then talk about it.

-----------------------------------------------------

Liu Bei, who was in Chenyang, received a report from his soldiers, "I have reported to you that there is a messenger from the Yanzhou Army outside the mansion who claims to be the messenger of the Yanzhou Army, please see you!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he knew that it was the Yanzhou army who sent someone. Otherwise, how could Huo Jun let someone enter the city easily? What if it was a detailed work by the Liangzhou army, so Liu Bei nodded, "Invite people to wait in the living room!"

"promise!"

What is Liu Bei's identity? Although his official position is not that big, it is recognized by the world that a relative of the Han Dynasty or the emperor's uncle. Such two names are actually enough. Speaking of which, he is at the same level as Cao Cao, which is good. So it is only possible that the soldiers of Yanzhou are waiting for him, rather than waiting for the soldiers of Yanzhou.

So Liu Bei was not in a hurry. It would not be too late to go there after the Yanzhou army arrived in the living room. After all, what is his identity? What is the other party’s identity? If Cao Mengde arrived in person, he would have to go out to greet him. As long as the others are not valued by him, let him wait.

-----------------------------------------------------

Liu Bei did not forget to ask his soldiers to invite Xu Shu and Liu Ba together. They wanted to see the messenger of the Yanzhou army.

When Liu Bei came to the living room, he saw the Yanzhou army messenger who was in the house. After arriving at Liu Bei, the soldiers of Yanzhou army did not dare to sit down. After all, Liu Bei and his side had a big holiday, and Liu Bei was somewhat of a person with status, so they would not have their own position in front of him. If he was General Cao, General Guo would have the same status as General Guo, but isn't that right?

So after seeing Liu Bei and his wife come to the house, the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army hurriedly saluted: "I have seen General Liu!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then took Xu Shu and Liu Ba to the seat. As for the messenger of the Yanzhou Army, of course he didn't care. Just let him stand there. It's good to see it yourself.

After sitting down, Liu Bei asked, "Did the messenger come from the Yanzhou Army camp?"

"Returning to General Liu, it's true! The young man brought General Cao Ren and General Cao's handwritten letters, and I would like to ask the general to take a look!"

-----------------------------------------------------

When Liu Bei heard that it was Cao Ren's handwritten letter, of course he did not neglect and directly asked the soldiers to submit it. When he looked at it this way, he roughly understood what Cao Ren meant.

Then he handed Cao Ren's letter to Xu Shu. After Xu Shu read it, he handed it to Liu Ba. The three of them finished reading it.

At this time, Liu Bei asked, "Now..."

The messenger of the Yanzhou Army hurriedly replied: "Go back to the general, now our army..."

Liu Bei nodded, then looked at Xu Shu and Liu Ba. Naturally, they did not miss this opportunity and took the opportunity to ask the messenger two questions. The other party answered smoothly. Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu and Liu Ba nodded secretly to him, and he understood.

So at last he said to the messenger: "In this way, the messenger will come back and say hello to General Cao Ren and General Guo Huai on my behalf!"

"No! General, don't worry, you will definitely bring this small one!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then asked his soldiers to send a messenger on his behalf. The messenger greeted Liu Bei and the other three and left.

-----------------------------------------------------

After the person left completely, Liu Bei asked Xu Shu and Liu Ba with a smile, "Two, how about this messenger before?"

Xu Shu also smiled and then said, "The so-called 'the true cannot be fake, the false cannot be real', lord, don't worry, he is naturally the messenger sent by Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao, the army of Yanzhou, is not fake!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, then looked at Liu Ba. Liu Ba also quickly said, "That's true, and the subordinates also think so. It's true that he is a messenger of Cao Zixiao, and what Yuan Zhi said is good!"

Liu Bei nodded slightly, "It seems that Cao Zixiao can't sit still now. Knowing that Ma Mengqi is now bringing troops back, he will come to contact our army quickly, but what have you done before!"

It is not difficult to hear from Liu Bei's tone that he had quite a lot of opinions about Cao Ren, and this was definitely not because of the deep confrontation between him and the Yanzhou Army. Speaking of which, he brought troops and was later taken over by Ma Chao's Liangzhou Army. At that time, Liu Bei had already had an objection to him.

-----------------------------------------------------

He was afraid of comparison in everything, such as the incident of being attacked by Ma Chao and Liangzhou Army at night. If the Lusu Jiangdong Army had not made comparisons there, Liu Bei would not have had such a big opinion on Cao Ren. After all, he did not know that the so-called "win and defeat are common things for military strategists." If he held this, Liu Bei would have been in vain for decades.

But when you Cao Ren brought the troops, you let the Liangzhou army attack at night and directly repelled dozens of miles. It was really embarrassing. But the Jiangdong army came to Chenyang later, but why was they not attacked by the Liangzhou army at night? Did the Liangzhou army not want it? No, absolutely not, but they didn’t notice them at all!

So because of this incident, Liu Bei thought that Cao Ren was also a general, a rare commander, a veteran of the Yanzhou Army, but he was not so cautious in his work. He was not as good as Lu Su and Zhang Liao who had just brought the troops. He was the deputy Guo Huai. He had just joined the Yanzhou Army for a few years, but you, Cao Ren, have been leading the troops for many years, and you are not even as good as Lu Su Lu Zijing who had just led the troops?

Therefore, Liu Bei actually had a lot of opinions on Cao Ren on this matter, but he just didn't say much.

-----------------------------------------------------

Indeed, if this matter has nothing to do with him, then Cao Ren is like this, and the Yanzhou army has lost some of its soldiers and suffered some casualties, he was very happy. But there is no need to say more about what time and what is the situation now. It can be said that even if the Yanzhou army had suffered a little casualties, it would be detrimental to the overall war. After all, they are here to help their own side. If they are destroyed by Ma Chao, then there will be no one to help their own side.

So how could Liu Bei not think too much? If the Yanzhou Army is over, it will be the least beneficial to his side. Similarly, if the Jiangdong Army is like this, that is the same. So even if Liu Bei is in the city, he still thinks about the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army outside the city, and he is also concerned about their war with the Liangzhou Army.

But it is better to say that he cares about himself than to care about them. After all, what is wrong with both of them is closely related to him, Liu Bei, but it is not much different.

-----------------------------------------------------

So Liu Bei had a great opinion of Cao Ren, but he could not say anything. After all, he was not his subordinates, but Cao Mengde. And he was not here, and he couldn't hear anything you said, and he didn't know anything, so there was nothing useful, so Liu Bei naturally wouldn't do it.

At this time, Xu Shu and Liu Ba looked at each other and smiled helplessly. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
