The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 141 Liu Bei Stands Strong, Lu Bu Wants to Run

Besides Sun Ce from Yangzhou, who else could be around?
Although Sun Ce is relatively well-developed, he is busy dominating Jiangdong. After all, there are still many forces in the south that restrain him, and he is also in trouble with Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

There is no time to take care of the north at all, and the first goal Cao Cao has to do is to unify the north!
This Xuzhou is just the first step.

At the same time, in Xuzhou, because of the big wedding that day, Liu Bei's bride was robbed, and he was silent for several days without going out.

What made Liu Bei even more angry was that the person who kidnapped the bride didn't know where he went.

Those bearers were just a few ordinary servants in the Mi clan before, and they had been in the Mi clan for two years.

It couldn't have been someone else's temporary intervention.

Although he had suspected that Cao Cao had temporarily arranged it, he couldn't find any evidence.

Those servants seemed to have evaporated from the world out of thin air, and there was no trace of them at all.

"Liu Bei! Haven't found any news about Luyun yet!"

Mi Zhu looked at him with a stern face, but now he was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Liu Bei's face was a little ugly, and he opened his mouth to explain something, then he let out a breath and said, "Give me a little more time, and I will definitely be able to find Luyun!"

Now that the eldest daughter of the Mi family has been taken away in front of him, the Mi family has officially turned against him because of this matter.

Mi Zhu didn't look good on Liu Bei at all, and said lightly: "It's because of you that Xuzhou raised his hand, if you can't find Mi Lvyun for a day, you don't want to get any benefits from my Mi family!"

Liu Bei nodded quickly when he heard the words, and then there was a trace of anger in his eyes. This incident not only made him lose face, but even lost the help of Mi's family to him.

"Come on, find it for me, find it for me in Xuzhou!"

"If you can't find Miss Mi's family, don't come back to me!"

Liu Bei threw the teacup on the table on the ground fiercely, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

At Mi Zhu's place, he could only keep a low voice, all his irritability was suppressed in his heart, and now he was able to vent it a little.

However, he didn't find any clues for a whole week, so why not give him more time?
No matter how he looked for it, it was impossible for him to know that Mi Luyun was working as Zhao Feng's maid at the moment.

In the past few days, because of this matter, he didn't even pay much attention to the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north. Even now, he didn't pay any attention to these matters, and he didn't even notice the dangerous situation he was about to experience now.

In less than half a day, nearly a hundred soldiers who were sent to Yanzhou to look for Mi Luyun turned back.

Looking at the soldiers who came back in a hurry, watching their panting and panicked movements, there was a hint of joy.

"Have you found Miss Mi's family?"

As long as he finds Miss Mi's family again, he can continue to get help from Mi's family.

You must know that Xuzhou has lost part of its population due to the loss of popular support. Today's agricultural harvest in Xuzhou is not good, so Liu Bei doesn't have much food in stock now.

Without Mi's help, his food would be scarce.

And there are only two options that can make up for this. The first is to spend money to buy, and the second is to increase the commission and increase taxes.

And this move will undoubtedly lose the hearts of the people even more, and Liu Bei doesn't want to use it unless it is a last resort.

The pawn who came back looked at Liu Bei with wide eyes and said, "My lord, something is wrong!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's heart sank, and he said with a little worry: "Is Mi Luyun dead?"

The soldier shook his head, and Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Cao Jun who came here with an army of [-]! Now he's about to enter the border of Xuzhou!"

Liu Bei who had just breathed a sigh of relief tensed up instantly.

"What did you say? Cao Cao's [-] troops are attacking?!"

Liu Bei's complexion was not very good at first, but he turned pale in an instant, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

The soldiers lowered their heads, with sweat dripping from their foreheads, looking at Liu Bei who was panicking now, he didn't dare to make any movements at all.

After a long time, Liu Bei came to his senses, how could they fight against Cao Cao with their strength now.

Liu Bei immediately said in a deep voice: "Call me all Yun Chang and Yi De, and I don't want them all!"

Obviously, Liu Bei is also a sensible person in the final analysis. When it comes to the choice of life and death and the city, he gave up all the surrounding cities without hesitation.

The soldier asked hesitantly: "What about the men who are looking for Miss Mi's family?"

Liu Bei said without any emotion in his eyes: "Withdraw all!"

Now that Cao Jun is attacking, Liu Bei still knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

"promise!"

Afterwards, Liu Bei said to the soldiers on the side: "Now pass down the order to close the city gates immediately, and no one can come in or out. At the same time, Xuzhou has a curfew!"

In terms of basic decision-making, Liu Bei still has no problems.

However, just in this case, he would have underestimated Cao Cao's [-] troops too much.

At dusk that day, the gates of Tan County, the seat of Xuzhou's government, had already been closed tightly, and countless soldiers looked around vigilantly.

At the same time, Cao Cao led a large-scale invasion with an army of [-]. Under the fierce offensive, all counties and counties on the border of Xuzhou have been taken down.

It is estimated that tomorrow, Cao Cao's army will be able to kill the mentally retarded in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei's face was a little pale. Currently, half of the land of Xuzhou was in his hands, and the other half was in the hands of Lu Bu.

In addition, some time ago, the battle between him and Lu Bu was doomed, and they could not become allies.

Not for the time being, even if Liu Bei is willing to put down his face and ask for peace, it will have no effect, because they can't be the opponent of Cao Cao together.

Now, he can only wait for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to gather in Tan County to see if they can hold this place. This is their only territory now. If they can hold it, they should try their best to hold it.

If he didn't even have a city, it would be difficult for him to stand up again.

At the same time, among Xiaopei in Xuzhou, Lu Bu also learned that Cao Cao had led an army of [-] to come.

He looked at Chen Gong at the side, and asked, "Gongtai, do you think that Cao Cao came for Lu Bu, or for the whole of Xuzhou?"

Chen Gong sighed slightly and said, "The whole of Xuzhou!"

They had just stabilized half of Xuzhou, and Cao Cao took the initiative to send troops to attack, which can be described as bad luck.

"It must be that Yuan Shao is attacking Youzhou at this moment, and no one can restrain Cao Cao."

"Yuan Shao, that idiot, after he attacked Youzhou and won a big defeat, he brought our Xuzhou to harm instead!"

Chen Gong, who heard the news, said with some gloom: "Now that Cao Cao is attacking Liu Bei, we are also on the verge of death, but in the face of an army of [-], we have no power to fight."

"What's more, the [-] troops are all armored and well-equipped. Even our iron cavalry is difficult to fight against."

After hearing Chen Gong's comment, Lu Bu frowned slightly.

"Then what should we do?"

Chen Gong let out a sigh of relief and said, "My husband can bend and stretch. Let's see if other princes take us in. Xuzhou should not stay for a long time. If Cao Cao becomes hostile to us, we will leave Xuzhou immediately!"
