The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 514
Li Yuan's sudden arrival surprised Zhao Yun, so he hurriedly invited Li Yuan to join him.Li Yuan smiled and said: "Junior brother, we haven't had dinner together for a long time, so I came here specially to eat with you today, I hope you don't mind, hahahahaha."

"Senior brother is serious, how can I mind." Zhao Yun also smiled, because he doesn't like to drink, so there is no wine for this meal, all three of them drink tea, and everyone eats home-cooked food, there is no big Zhao Yun is already used to this kind of life. Although he is now in a high position and famous all over the world, his living habits are still exactly the same as when he first came down the mountain, and have not changed because of the change of status.

After three rounds of tea, Li Yuan had almost finished his meal. He asked, "Does Junior Brother already know that Zhou Yu has surrendered to our army?"

Zhao Yun seemed to have expected that Li Yuan would mention this matter, his expression did not change, he nodded slightly, and said, "I already know about this matter, brother, don't worry that I will go against Zhou Yu, I, Zhao Yun, am definitely not this kind of person."

Lu Lingqi on the side thought that Li Yuan would blame Zhao Yun, so she interjected, "Don't worry, my lord, my husband is very generous, and he will never intentionally embarrass Zhou Yu."

"You don't need to be nervous. I have known my junior for so long. How can I not know your character? I know that Zhou Yu has done excessive things, but at that time we were enemies, and there is no sympathy between the two armies. Although he What he did was ruthless, but he did it for Sun Ce at the time, and I believe that if there is a need in the future, he will also do it for me. There are more than tens of thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield, whether they died by the sword or by the sword. There is death in water and fire, so junior brother does not need to be too attached to what Zhou Yu has done." Li Yuan explained for Zhou Yu.

"I understand what senior brother said, but I still can't let go of the hatred in my heart. Please forgive me." Zhao Yun didn't pretend to forgive Zhou Yu. He almost never lied, especially to Li Yuan, so what should I do? Do what he says.Li Yuan felt helpless, knowing that it would be useless to talk too much, he could only let time gradually wear down the hatred in Zhou Yu's heart.

Since Li Yuan delegated power to Zhou Yu to recruit recruits, Zhou Yu immediately started to act. Xiapi has a large population and a lot of food reserves, so it can definitely support an army of 4, but Li Yuan does not need so many troops. Xiapi already has nearly [-] troops, so he only needs to recruit another [-] new recruits.

The people of Xiapi supported Li Yuan very much. Many young people eagerly signed up after learning that Li Yuan was going to recruit new soldiers. It took less than a month to recruit all the recruits, and many people were unable to join the army because they came too late. It was a pity that Zhou Yu and others were also deeply moved when they saw the enthusiasm of the people in Xiapi.

Zhou Yu was busy training recruits in Xiapi, Cao Cao was busy attacking Hebei, Ma Teng, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and other forces did not make much movement for the time being, and Li Yuan was finally able to spend time with his family during this time.

From spring to autumn, and ten years after Jian'an, Zhou Yu has been training recruits for nearly a year. Although there is still a lot of gap compared with the veterans in Xiapi, he has improved a lot through his continuous training every day. Improvement, on the battlefield is definitely a combat force that cannot be underestimated.

Today, spies came back from Hebei to report that Cao Cao had captured Youzhou, and Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, led a hundred thousand people to defect to Cao Cao, which greatly increased Cao Cao's strength.

Li Yuan summoned Xi Zhicai, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu and Jia Xu to discuss the matter together after hearing the news. Now these four are the most outstanding advisers and generals in Xiapi, with them assisting Li Yuan, he is not afraid of any enemies.

"Everyone, news came from Hebei just now that Cao Cao has captured Youzhou and Qingzhou, and Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army led an army of [-] to join Cao Cao. If this is true, Cao Cao's strength will be greatly enhanced." Li Yuan said worriedly.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to take Youzhou so quickly. It seems that Yuan Shao's sons are no match for him." Xi Zhicai thought that Yuan Xi and others could resist for a while, but he still overestimated their strength .

"There is another piece of good news. Gao Gan, who surrendered to Cao Cao, suddenly turned back and occupied Youzhou. He sent troops to guard Huguan Pass to guard against Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao has sent generals Le Jin and Li Dian to attack. It is estimated that Gao Gan can come back again. Persevere, but it is expected that you can only persist for one year at most, and you will lose after one year." Li Yuan didn't understand why Gao Gan suddenly turned against him, but this was good, at least it could slow down Cao Cao's pace of unifying Hebei.

Xi Zhicai cupped his fists and said, "Master, if Cao Cao unifies Hebei, he will probably go south. Of course, he may also send troops to Chang'an to attack Xiliang."

Jia Xu disagreed with Xi Zhicai's opinion and said: "The military master's words are wrong. Now everyone knows that we have joined forces with Ma Teng, so Cao Cao will not invade easily. He will definitely find an ally to assist him before sending troops. The most suitable His ally is naturally Xichuan Liu Zhang."

"Liu Zhang is indeed a very suitable candidate, but it is better to say Liu Bei than Liu Zhang. Both Cao Cao and Liu Bei hate the lord, so they are very likely to join forces. In addition to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, maybe their three parties will be at the same time. Attack us." Sima Yi had already prepared for the worst.

Li Yuan nodded in agreement, but he had already colluded with Yang Song secretly, so Yang Song should try his best to prevent Zhang Lu from using troops. Now Liu Bei and Cao Cao need to be guarded most.While discussing, a soldier suddenly walked in and said, "My lord, there is an urgent report from Wu Jun."

"Pass it up." Li Yuan asked the soldiers to pass up the urgent report.

Li Yuan opened the emergency report, and after reading it, his face was a little solemn, and he said: "Shanyue is making trouble in places such as Kuaiji and Wujun, and looting people's food."

"I have heard for a long time that Shanyue people live in deep mountains and old forests. They are uncivilized people. Not only do they dress strangely, but their living habits are also different from our Han people." Xi Zhicai read about Shanyue from a book.

Zhou Yu added: "The military adviser is absolutely right, and the Shanyue people are extremely brave in combat, and they are especially good at mountain warfare. Although they are not good at military formations, it is difficult for us to gain an advantage in mountain warfare, because there are many trees in the deep mountains. The jungle and the ground are uneven, and our Han army cannot form a complete formation, so we must try to avoid fighting Shanyue in the forest." Zhou Yu had fought with the Shanyue people before, so he knew them very well.

"My lord, there is Cheng Taishou in Wu County and General Wei Yan in Kuaiji. We can send them to conquer Shanyue, and we can also send more troops from Moling, Yuzhang, and Luling counties to help them. It is more than enough to deal with them." Sima Yi thought that the Shanyue people were right They pose no threat.
