Only then did Zhang Xiu realize how difficult it was for him to take refuge in Cao Cao's army.
In order to help Yuan Shujun, Dongyang Hou dispatched 20,000 troops.
"But after Cao Cao gave him the governor of Yuzhou, he had nothing. Not only that, some areas of Yuzhou belong to Cao Cao's territory, and these territories will not listen to all the governors of Yuzhou.
What¡¯s more serious is that the threat from Yuan Shu¡¯s army is still there.
"What can we do?" Zhang Xiu was anxious.
"My lord, now that things have come to a point, we can only take one step at a time." Lei Xu said.
Now Zhang Xiu is entrenched in Wancheng. If he is isolated and helpless, he will be destroyed soon.
Zhong Yao did not dare to force Zhang Xiu too much and brought a batch of food and weapons.
However, for Zhang Xiu, it was far from enough.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Yun has returned to Yangzhou, and Dian Wei is still in charge of commanding the army.
Not only that, Liu Ke also increased his troops.
Now, there are 30,000 Yangzhou troops in Yuzhou, plus Yuan Shu's 50,000 troops, for a total of 80,000 troops.
If Cao Cao does not take action, this means that Zhang Xiu will have to face the 80,000 troops alone.
Zhang Xiu lived in panic every day, worried that Liu Ke would liquidate him. After all, he refused the olive branch extended by Yangzhou.
At the most difficult time, Liu Bei appeared and wanted to form an alliance with Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and went out of the city to meet Liu Bei. As soon as they met, he was attracted by Liu Bei's temperament.
"Xuan Degong has lived in Xinye for a long time and has never had time to visit. He has many neglects, sins, and sins." Zhang Xiu said modestly.
Liu Bei is very shrewd in his heart. Everyone is just playing for the occasion. They have a common enemy, otherwise they would not sit together.
"The governor Zhang is serious, I should come to visit you!" Liu Bei said.
The two talked about each other for a long time, and finally got down to business.
"Now our common enemy is Yuan Shu, we should unite." Liu Bei said.
Zhang Xiu had been waiting for this sentence for a long time and said: "I have had this intention for a long time. I was attacked by Yuan Shu's army before. Thank you Duke Xuande for saving the siege."
?
Liu Bei was dumbfounded. It's okay if you didn't mention this. If you hadn't rescued me, I would have dealt with Dian Wei long ago.
Zhang Xiu has been arrogant in order to bring the relationship between the two parties closer. Thinking about it now, she is still a little embarrassed.
But we are all people who do big things and don¡¯t stick to trivial matters.
The two finalized the details, temporarily formed an alliance, and faced each other offensively and defensively.
"Mr. Xuande, Yuan Shu has Yangzhou to help him, so it's hard to deal with him." Zhang Xiu sighed.
Of course Liu Bei knew that this was Zhang Xiu trying to find out his trump card, but it didn't matter if he revealed a little bit. He said, "I have Marquis Wucheng to help me, and Governor Zhang has Cao Mengde to help me. Am I still afraid of Yuan Jiujiu?"
It turns out that Sun Ce is behind Liu Bei, no wonder he is so arrogant.
"Mr. Xuande doesn't know anything. Cao Mengde just deceived me and didn't give me any support. But Yuan Shu is different. Marquis Dongyang directly sent an army." Zhang Xiu sighed.
Liu Bei thought thoughtfully, the Marquis of Dongyang had nearly a million troops, if he kept sending troops, wouldn't it be endless?
How can I hold on to this
"This matter needs long-term consideration." Liu Bei said helplessly.
"How about we invite Yuan Shu out for a talk?" Zhang Xiu suggested.
"Huh?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up, this is a good idea.
So Yuan Shu received a document signed by Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei.
"This is a threat, the two of them are colluding together to threaten me!" Yuan Shu roared.
"Lord, I'm afraid things are not that simple." Yan Xiang said.
"Then tell me, why is it not simple?" Yuan Shu said unconvinced.
"I guess they are here to negotiate peace." Yan Xiang.
"How do you say this?" Yuan Shu asked in surprise and uncertainty.
"Today, the situation in Yuzhou is no longer under our control. Behind Zhang Xiu is Cao Mengde, behind Liu Bei is Sun Bofu, lord, we also have Marquis Dongyang behind us." Yan Xiang analyzed.
Yuan Shu was horrified to discover that these were big bosses and he couldn't afford to offend them all. If he had an army of 200,000, he would have attacked Yanzhou long ago, why wait until now.
"It's a pity that Yuan Shu only has 50,000 troops left, and he can't waste it anymore.
"Sun Bofu still owes me half of Jingzhou!" Yuan Shu said angrily.
Yan Xiang is very helplessYu, how long ago did this happen? The master still remembers such things.
"My lord, you must go to this gathering to see what they are up to." Yan Xiang said.
Yuan Shu nodded.
As a result, the three small forces in Yuzhou came together.
Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu, and Yuan Shu were seated more than ten meters apart.
As the governor of Yuzhou, Zhang Xiu was the first to speak: "You two, now Yuzhou is our Yuzhou, why should we become a pawn of the big princes and fight endlessly? How about we sit down and talk?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Yuan Shu said impatiently.
"We cease the war!" Zhang Xiu said.
"Haha, are you scared?" Yuan Shu laughed and said, Dongyang Hou was very powerful and kept increasing his troops, which put great pressure on Zhang Xiu.
Yuan Shu's words made Zhang Xiu very embarrassed and said: "This is wrong. I have formed an alliance with Xuande Gong."
Yuan Shu stopped smiling and couldn't help but look at Liu Bei, who nodded in agreement.
"Hmph! Liu Xuande is nothing more than a defeated general under Dongyang Marquis. He is a lost dog." Yuan Shu snorted coldly.
"What did you say?" Zhang Fei was furious. He raised the snake spear and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Guan Yu.
Yuan Shu was shocked. Now he only has one strong general, Ji Ling, who will never be able to stop Zhang Fei.
"What are you going to do? Is this your sincerity?"
Yuan Shu pretended to leave, but Zhang Xiu had to put up a fight and said: "Everyone, if you have anything to say, please speak it up!"
"Yide, stand down!" Liu Bei said. Zhang Fei sat down suddenly and stared at Yuan Shu with his big eyes. Yuan Shu had goosebumps all over his body.
"The ceasefire, we came with sincerity, Yuan Shujun's current territory will not move, as long as it does not enter Nanyang County." Zhang Xiu said.
Yuan Shu thought for a while and realized that the conditions were indeed very favorable. The place he occupied now was slightly larger than that of Cao Cao's army.
Now, Nanyang County is the only one left that has not been captured.
There are two forces in Nanyang County, one is Zhang Xiu and the other is Liu Bei, both of whom are strong-willed.
"Then what do you mean by being a governor?" Yuan Shu said, rubbing salt on Zhang Xiu's wounds.
Zhang Xiu said patiently: "This is my business, you can just say whether you agree or not."
Yuan Shu thought for a while, and now he only has 50,000 people. If he continues to fight, he may not be able to save these 50,000 people. Now he occupies two counties in Yuzhou, including Runan, which makes it three counties. The purpose of expanding the territory has been achieved. .
"good."
The three of them signed an armistice agreement to non-aggression.
Liu Bei also got several county towns and was very satisfied. After all, he only had one Xinye before.
"Would you like to join our alliance?" Zhang Xiu invited Yuan Shudao.
Yuan Shu is not stupid. It would be great to have Yangzhou as his backer. Why should he join them? Clean rejection.
So Yuzhou showed a three-legged trend and temporarily stabilized. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
