Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and then he said with a smile: "If it wasn't for the lord's reminder, I would have forgotten Master Lu Ban! The lord should call Master Lu Ban earlier and make plans earlier!"

"Fengxiao can rest assured. Before I came, I had already ordered Luban to rush over from Chang'an, along with many selected craftsmen. With them, our war this time will be much easier!" Liu Rui smiled confidently.

The two chatted for a long time, and in the end they both decided to take the defensive temporarily and confront the lords of Chibi first, and then make a decision when the follow-up army arrives.Qiankun Tingshu Network www.qktsw.com

Liu Rui made a decision here, while Cao Cao and Sun Ce on the other side were also overjoyed.At this moment, Sun Ce and Cao Cao were standing outside the Chibi camp, watching the mighty team in the distance.

"Bo Fu, now we really have a million heroes!" Cao Cao couldn't help sighing as he looked at the army that could not see the end.

And Sun Ce was also agitated and couldn't help but said, "Brother Meng De, thanks to your military advisor Xi Zhicai, if it weren't for him, where would we find an army of [-] people?"

Speaking of this, Sun Ce was also a little speechless. He was naturally aware of Cao Cao's forced recruitment of militiamen in Qingzhou, but Sun Ce did not dare to do so in Jiangdong. It's going to be the opposite!

Thinking of this, Sun Ce couldn't help but sighed: "Meng De, I, Sun Bofu, are ashamed of your determination and courage!"

"Alas!" When Cao Cao heard Sun Ce's words, he didn't know what the other party was talking about, and even sighed: "Bo Fu don't want to make fun of me, if there is another way, who would want to do this kind of thing? Now we do this. , I was really pushed to a desperate situation, and I had to fight to the death!"

Sun Ce nodded, looked in the direction of Jiang Xia in the distance, and said, "Now our army of one million is here, even if Liu Rui is brave, can he still fight one million against one million?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Brother Bofu, didn't you see that Liu Rui didn't dare to leave Jiangxia City these few days?"

The two laughed loudly. They had suffered countless losses in Liu Rui's hands. Now, seeing Liu Rui's cautiousness, he naturally felt extremely comfortable.

It was also while the two were chatting that several groups of people walked out of the army in the distance.Seeing these people, Sun Ce said, "Brother Meng De, let's go meet Xuande and Fengxian!"

Cao Cao also nodded, and the two of them strode forward, and it didn't take long for them to get together with Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and the others.

"Meng De, Bo Fu..." Liu Bei bowed his hands to the two of them, and then he said, "Liu Bei came a little late, I hope I didn't miss the important event of the two!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "What did Xuande say? As long as we come, as long as we unite, we don't need to be afraid of Liu Rui!"

"Yeah, Xuande, Meng De and I are relieved that you can come. Let's go, let's go back to the Chibi camp first, and let me, Sun Ce, treat you well, and do my best as a landlord!" Sun Ce also said. Laughing loudly, he looked at Lu Bu, who was on the side, and said, "Brother Feng, you are still in high spirits as always!"

He had been neglected by Cao Cao and Sun Ce before, but when he heard Sun Ce's compliment, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile proudly, but didn't say much.

Amidst the courtesies of the few, they slowly arrived at Sun Ce's Chibi Camp.

923: Negotiate

This time, in order to welcome Liu Bei and Lu Bu, Sun Ce spent a lot of time and specially invited a lot of famous chefs from Yangzhou.

Therefore, the banquet this time was extraordinarily rich.

"Meng De, Bo Fu, Feng Xian, come here, I, Liu Bei, give you a toast!" Liu Bei raised his glass and gestured towards the three of them.

Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Lu Bu also responded quickly. After they had finished drinking, Liu Bei asked with a dignified expression, "Meng De, this time you fought against Liu Rui, we couldn't help you, really. Shame!"

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and then said: "Xuande don't need to be ashamed, the army of Mu Ge intercepted you at that time, I am very clear about this matter, it is a pity that I failed to follow Zhicai's advice at the beginning, which led to the disastrous defeat of the army. , my army of [-] people has lost more than half..."

Having said that, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Xi Zhicai next to him, and said again: "I have such a good military advisor, but I don't know how to make good use of it. It's really stupid!"

"My lord!" Hearing Cao Cao mentioning himself in front of so many people and complimenting him so much, Xi Zhicai was moved to tears, even bowing down in front of Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao hurriedly helped Xi Zhicai, and said with a smile, "Zhicai doesn't have to be like this. You recruited troops all the way this time, and brought us an army of [-]. This alone is a great credit!"

Liu Bei and the others on the side looked at Cao Cao with admiration. It was no secret that Xi Zhicai was forced to conquer Qingzhou this time. Even if all [-] troops were recruits, it was a huge force that made people envious.

Therefore, seeing Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai sympathizing with each other and praising each other at this moment, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others were speechless for a while.

After a while, Liu Bei said again: "Meng De, Bo Fu, you two have already played against Mu Ge here, what should we do now?"

"Xuande, don't worry, now that Liu Rui's troops are in Jiangxia City, before you came, we withdrew to Chibi, then Liu Rui still wanted to chase, but waited until Xuande and Feng Xian came. , scare that Liu Rui away!" Sun Ce sneered twice before he said.

And Cao Cao on the side also smiled and said: "Liu Rui's vanguard army only has [-] cavalry, our Chibi camp is built incomparably strong, and the strength is four or five times his strength. If he Liu Rui is willing to attack us, Isn't that exactly what we think in our hearts?"

Everyone laughed, but Liu Bei on the side shook his head and said solemnly: "Meng De, Bo Fu, since Liu Rui's strength is at a disadvantage now, why don't we take the opportunity to attack, if we can take this opportunity to eliminate Liu Rui, why not? Isn't it better?"

Sun Ce and Cao Cao both looked at each other. They had discussed this issue before, but at this moment Liu Bei's words were out of his mouth, and Lu Bu, Xi Zhicai and the others were also full of doubts.

"Xuande, when Jiangxia City was in Liu Rui's future, we have been attacking for a long time." Sun Tactics thought for a while, and then said again: "Later Meng De's army arrived, and we joined forces to besiege Yue Fei. , there is no way to take him!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he opened his mouth and said, "How could it be possible for seven or eight thousand people to stay for such a long time?"

"Xuande doesn't know anything!" Cao Cao also sighed: "Then Yue Fei received the help of the people in the city, so there is no need to worry about logistics and baggage, and there is a steady stream of soldiers to replenish. We fought several times and lost some. The people and horses finally gave up helplessly!"

"Hey! It's a pity. If we can destroy Liu Rui's Jiang Xia, then we can take advantage of the situation to recover the entire Jingzhou. In this way, I can also explain to Brother Jing Sheng!" Liu Bei said regretfully.

However, Liu Bei's words caused Cao Cao and Sun Ce to sneer in their hearts.When Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng lost Jingzhou, he gave Liu Bei the entire Jingzhou fee.And the princes at that time also divided the entire Jingzhou into pieces, but in the end, this Jingzhou was completely controlled by Mu Ge.In the battle of Jingzhou, the various princes were also severely damaged.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao said again: "Xuande, Jingzhou is absolutely unacceptable. We absolutely cannot repeat the disaster of Jingzhou in the past!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment. This is how he remembered what happened in Jingzhou. At that time, Gao Shun formed a resistance army in Jingzhou, but he forced the princes into a lonely army.But after hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei still couldn't help but wonder: "Meng De, why is this?"

"Xuande, think about it, if we threaten Jingzhou all the time, will Liu Rui just sit back and ignore it?" Cao Cao asked.

Liu Bei naturally nodded his head, while Cao Cao said again: "As long as we are here to threaten Jingzhou and surround Jiangxia, he will need to constantly mobilize troops and horses..."

"This... what Meng De said, is he going to fight that Mu Ge?" Liu Bei couldn't help but asked.

Cao Cao nodded heavily, and then he said with a smile, "That's right! Do you know why I left Qingzhou and went straight to Yangzhou?"

Liu Bei shook his head. He knew a little, but it was obvious that Cao Cao had more to say now.

Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Liu Rui's army is invincible, cavalry and infantry, I'm not an opponent, but there is one thing, he Liu Rui can't compare with us!"

"Navy?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he said overjoyedly: "Yes! Yes! Mu Ge's army is all northern soldiers, and they are not used to water at all. In this way, we can take the initiative and attack. To Mu Ge's weakness!"

Sun Ce on the side listened to the conversation between the two, and also said with a smile: "Meng De, now this Jiang Xia is reserved for Liu Rui as a bait. When the time comes, our navy army will directly cut off Jiang Xia's connection with the rear. , while blocking his army on the other side of the river, let's see how long Liu Rui can last!"
