The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 183
"But even if they see through the trick, aren't they afraid of being scolded if they come out of nowhere?" Liu Bei still doesn't believe it.

"My lord's words are wrong. Second, there are many rumors in Beihai recently, saying that my lord poisoned Kong Rong to death, and took the opportunity to seize the military power and control the political power of the Beihai Navy." Li Shan leaned into Liu Bei's ear and whispered, the strategy of poisoning Kong Rong It was from him. Although it was a fact, everything was done seamlessly without showing any flaws. No one could even see through Kong Rong's forged suicide note, so they were able to control Beihai smoothly.

"Military commander, please be careful with your words. You must not let others know about this matter." Although Liu Bei is courageous, only he and Li Shan know about this matter, and the rest do not know. Even his two righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also arrested. Keep it secret, if people really know that Liu Bei did it, then his coat of benevolence and righteousness will be completely torn.

"Don't worry, my lord. There are few soldiers patrolling the city now, and no one will find out. The subordinate means that there were not many rumors in Beihai originally, but now there are more rumors. There is only one possibility. Spread rumors." Li Shan is very smart, and he can see through Li Yuan's scheme at a glance, although he is not sure whether Li Yuan did it.

"Are you saying that Li Yuan deliberately spread rumors, and then used this as an excuse to send troops to attack us?" Liu Bei didn't react slowly, and immediately understood. If he couldn't react to this, he couldn't become Liu Xuande, a late bloomer in "history".

"Very likely, this is the second," Li Shan continued, "third, when Xianhe came back from Xiapi, he said that besides him, other princes from all over the world sent envoys to congratulate Li Yuan, including Cao Cao. You must know that Cao Cao and Li Yuan have a very good relationship, and Li Yuan even helped Cao Cao when he rebelled against Lu Bu, so it is very likely that Cao Cao sent Xun You to persuade Li Yuan to join forces with us again to attack us."

If Li Yuan heard Li Shan's analysis, he would definitely be stunned. He would think that Li Shan was really a roundworm in his stomach. Everything he thought was analyzed clearly, and he couldn't hide it at all.

After listening carefully, Liu Bei really felt that it made sense, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more disturbed he became.

A gust of cool wind blew gently. Although it was already March, the temperature was still very cold. Liu Bei couldn't help shivering, and looked into the distance. The sun was setting and the sky was dyed red by the sunset, but it was such a scene. Give him a feeling of bleakness and desolation.

Suddenly, Liu Bei saw a few black spots in the distance. He thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again carefully, and found that there were indeed black spots moving here quickly, and said: "Military teacher, am I right?" Dazzling, why do you seem to see someone running here?"

Li Shan was stunned for a moment, then followed Liu Bei's gaze, and found a few black shadows running towards here, but because of the sunset and the dim light, he couldn't see very clearly.

"Maybe they are merchants on their way." Liu Bei felt that he was too nervous, so that when he saw a few merchants, he thought they were enemy troops. He sighed and wanted to walk down the city wall. Li Shan held him back when he was leaving.

"Wait a minute, my lord, it seems that there are not a few people, but dozens of people." Li Shan looked at it for a while, and felt that there were more and more people, "No, there should be hundreds of people, could it be a caravan?" , otherwise why are there so many people?"

Liu Bei turned back to observe with Li Shan. When the people on the opposite side got closer and closer, their faces turned pale. Liu Bei immediately shouted: "It's not a caravan, it's a cavalry team of no less than thousands of people. !"

Liu Bei's shout woke up the soldiers who were resting. Although there were soldiers patrolling the top of the city, the soldiers were very tired and waiting for their meals at this time, so not many people paid attention to the things in the distance. Now that Liu Bei yelled like this, many people ran to the top of the city to wait and see in the distance, and they saw a large group of soldiers and horses rushing here.

A recruit suspected: "This may be a horse trading caravan, so there are so many people."

Liu Bei wanted to give the recruit a kick, and shouted: "Where is the uniform of the caravan so neat? Didn't you see that although they have a large number of people, the queue is neat? Only a well-trained army can do this!"

Li Shan didn't bother to get angry with the recruit anymore, he quickly shouted: "Where is the city gate officer?"

"Yes, I'm here!" A soldier hurried to Li Shan. He hadn't had time to swallow the food in his mouth, so he couldn't speak clearly, and there was still half a piece of unfinished green vegetables hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you still standing there, hurry up and close the city gate, don't you want to watch the enemy army come in!" Li Shan was very dissatisfied with the city gate officer, because both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took away all the elite soldiers to fight against Cao Cao , so the [-] soldiers who stayed in Beihai were basically recruits who hadn't practiced much, or were older veterans, so they couldn't make the most correct choice at the first time.

"It's a military advisor!" The city gate officer spat out the food in his mouth, and hurriedly ran to close the city gate without caring about eating.

"Military teacher, what should we do?" Liu Bei's eyes were full of anxiety, he never thought that there would be an enemy soldier sneak attack.

"My lord, please send someone to Licheng to seek help from General Guan and General Zhang." Li Shan reminded.

"That's right, I need to ask my brother-in-law for help!" Liu Bei called a soldier, "You find a few people to go to Licheng with you, explain the situation here to General Guan and General Zhang, and let them come back quickly to rescue."

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and went, not daring to delay.

"Oh, no wonder I feel uneasy, so something really happened," Liu Bei stared at the approaching enemy army, and now he can clearly see that the enemy army is at least 5000 cavalry, so many It was the second time he had seen the cavalry, and the first time he had seen it was during the Battle of Hulao Pass.

"Sure enough, they are Li Yuan's soldiers and horses." Li Ru squinted his eyes, and he could already see the opposite banner, with the word "Li" written on it, and another slightly shorter banner with the word "Zhao" written on it.

"That's Li Yuan's Flying Cavalry Army, led by Zhao Yun," Liu Bei was very impressed with Zhao Yun. On that day, Zhao Yun showed his power at Hulao Pass. He wanted to recruit Zhao Yun to his command, but Zhao Yun was Li Yuan's younger brother. The friendship is very deep, no matter how powerful he is, he can't dig this corner, but he is also very puzzled, "I have arranged a thousand soldiers to guard Gaomi. Even if Li Yuan can capture Gaomi, Gaomi should send soldiers to Beihai for help. Why haven't you received any intelligence from Gaomi until now?"
