Chapter 541 Liu Bei's Crisis

Although Cao Cao smiled on his face, his slender eyes were shining, and he had been paying attention to the change of Chen Deng's face. Feeling Cao Cao's eyes, Chen Deng trembled slightly and quickly withdrew the little thought in his heart. Then Cao Cao and Chen Deng discussed his strategy for a while. As for Guo Jia, he was silent and had been secretly looking at Chen Deng.

Half an hour later, Chen Dengyi withdrew from the hall. Cao Cao's smile on his face restrained slightly and asked Guo Jianing.

"Feng filial piety, can this person be of great use?"

Although Cao Cao promised Chen Deng a high position, it does not mean that Cao Cao will feel that Chen Deng is fully qualified for the position of Xuzhou pastoral, which also needs to be considered in terms of his loyalty, talent, family background and other aspects.

"Chen Yuanlong is resourceful and resourceful, and has a good way to govern the army, and the Chen family is also a member of the Xuzhou family. It is deeply supported by all ethnic groups and governs the land of Xuzhou. However, this person has always put the interests of the family first, loyalty and righteousness. After the stability of Xuzhou, the lord still needs to secretly exploit the power of his Chen family and beware of making the Chen family dominant.

Guo Jia calmed down and quickly said his analysis of Chen Deng one by one. Cao Cao has great trust in Guo Jia, and Guo Jia is also one of the few counselors who can make Cao Cao obey him.

"Hmm. Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. After Xuzhou is stable, I will gradually send civilian generals to Xuzhou to share the state affairs and military power of Xuzhou.

After that, Cao Cao and Guo Jia talked for a while and then went back to rest. At dawn the next day, Cao Cao sent people early to inform the generals that the whole army was ready to march to Longquan County.

Cao Cao's army has always been vigorous and vigorous. At noon, all the troops and horses were completed. After Cao Cao explained to Chen Deng some arrangements for the affairs of Xuzhou, he led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Longquan County.

Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers to enter Longquan. A few days later, Liu Bei waited for Cao's army and hurriedly reported to Liu Bei. After listening to this, Liu Bei had expected it for a long time, but he was inevitably stunned and anxious. He urgently ordered the soldiers to strengthen their defenses, and called Pan Feng, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other generals to make their own arrangements.

Two days later, 30,000 Cao troops were in the four mountain ranges of Longquan County. Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack Longquan, but ordered the soldiers of each battalion to guard the gates of Longquan County and cut off the water flowing into Longquan.

On the other side, Liu Bei thought that Cao Cao's army would take advantage of the situation to attack, but he had already dug deep ditches under the city, built high bases, and prepared to fight. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao couldn't resist the camp. Liu Bei was extremely afraid of Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's ability, the more abnormal he was, the more dangerous he would be. Therefore, Liu Bei sent several scouts to explore around outside the city. Later, he had to report that Cao Cao actually ordered the soldiers to guard the gates of Longquan and cut off the water source. Hearing this, Liu Bei was shocked and immediately understood Cao Cao's intention. Cao Cao wanted to cut off his water and food and surround the main Longquan City to death!

Cao Cao has 30,000 elite soldiers, and his strength is far more than that of Liu Bei. Cao Cao is not only extraordinary, but also has a counselor named Guo Jia, who is known as a ghost talent. Liu Bei did not dare to act rashly and sent troops to attack. But if he does not take any countermeasures, it is like waiting for death, waiting for the water and food accumulated in the city to run out. Whether it is his soldiers and horses or the local people in the city, they will be panicked and even change.

Liu Bei had nothing to do, so he called Mi Zhu and Sun Qian to ask questions. The ability of Mi Zhu and Sun Qian may only reach the second-rate of first-class counselors. In the face of such a dangerous situation, they really rack their brains and can't think of a plan.

Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, with a bitter, painful and hesitant look, and immediately knew that there was nothing they could do. Liu Bei felt quite sad and sighed that God was unfair. Throughout all the princes in the world, there were first-class counselors under his command, such as Tian Feng and Ju Shu beside Yuan Shao, Guo Jia and Jia Xu beside Cao Cao, Xi Long beside Wen Han, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang beside Liu Biao, Zhou Yu beside Sun Jian and so on. With the assistance of these super-first-class counselors, these princes have expanded their power faster and faster, and gradually accumulated the foundation of the power to seize the world.

Liu Bei asked himself that there was no shortage of good generals who were good at fighting. His brothers Pan and Zhang, and the fierce generals Tai Shi Ci, all had the martial arts of taking the head of the enemy generals from all armies. For Liu Bei, what he can't wait for is a super first-class counselor who can determine the overall situation. Unfortunately, this person has never appeared. And Liu Bei is about to face the disaster of extinction. It is still unknown whether he can escape.

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses surrounded Longquan County, and it was difficult for a fly to fly over the gate guarded by his heavy soldiers, and Longquan County was cut off from the water source. As the days went by, Longquan County was full of uneasy atmosphere. The people in the city complained. Some of the local people who had an agreement with Liu Bei to help him stationed in Longquan were even ready to move and wanted to throw himself into Cao Ying.

What makes Liu Bei helpless is that he does not dare to eliminate these uneasy people, as long as Pan Feng and Zhang Fei strengthen patrols and watch these local people. During this period, Zhang Fei had a hot nature and quarreled with these natives several times. Even Zhang Fei almost fought against them several times. Fortunately, Pan Feng stopped them in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that at this time, the local people in the city have fought with Liu Bei's soldiers and horses.

Grain and water are the foundation of everyone's survival. Ten days later, the grain and water accumulated in Longquan County are about to be exhausted. The people of Longquan are tough by nature. There are many young men in groups to grab the food and grass in Liu Bei's barracks. This angered Zhang Fei, who had been holding back his anger. When Zhang Fei heard the soldiers coming to report, he gritted his teeth and was furious. Without saying a word, he picked up the eight snake spear and rushed out of the account.

"Who dares to grab food!! First of all, ask your grandfather Zhang about the sharp spear in his hand, is it accurate!!"

Zhang Fei, like an angry black panther, waved his spear to kill him in the crowd of the natives. Several natives were even more bold. They actually picked up the wooden stick they brought and called his family to meet Zhang Fei in a foreign language. These locals were not Zhang Fei's opponents. Zhang Fei roared like a thunderbolt, which suddenly scared the locals for a while. When he reacted, Zhang Fei had already touched the eight snake spears, and killed one person with a few spears, and killed all the local people who attacked him for a while.

When the natives who were still looting food and fodder saw that their own people were killed, they immediately turned red. They roared at their language and rushed to Zhang Fei in groups. Zhang Fei held the fire for a long time. At this time, it could be said that he was unbearable. Zhang Fei took eight snake spears and kicked his legs. The eight snake spears danced in his hand and splashed blood rain. Zhang Fei was like killing into no man's land. Those natives who rushed to Zhang Fei were killed by Zhang Fei so that they had no power to fight back. Zhang Fei swept or hit. Every time he made a move, he hurt a large area. More and more local people fell around and cried endlessly.

More than a dozen locals waiting outside the camp saw that Zhang Fei was extremely brave, they hurried back to the alleys in the city to inform the people. Soon, more and more locals rushed to the barracks in the city with wooden sticks, hoes and other weapons.

Zhang Fei killed vigorously. Seeing that more and more local people came, he was not afraid. Instead, he had a lot of momentum to kill him until he could stop. He rushed to the position with the largest number of people. Liu Bing, who was in the camp, was also angry when he saw that these natives were arrogant. More and more soldiers followed Zhang to the crowd of locals to kill.

"Third brother!!! Hurry up and stop!!"

In a flash, a huge and majestic figure appeared behind Zhang Fei, like a huge beast. The giant man was as strong as three men combined. The giant man suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Fei's shoulder with one hand. His strength was so powerful that he couldn't move Zhang Fei.

"Second brother!! These local people robbed the military food in our camp. If they don't teach them some lessons, I'm afraid they will be even more lawless in the future!!!"

There are very few people with this power in this world. Zhang Fei immediately knew that it was Pan Feng who arrested him. He turned his head and shouted angrily. Pan Feng narrowed his huge eyes, his eyes were deterred, and there was no answer. The power of nine cows and two tigers suddenly rose, and Zhang Fei was dragged back several big steps with one hand. Zhang Fei shouted angrily and his whole body exploded, trying to struggle forcibly. Zhang Fei is also a natural power. When he was a butcher, he could lift five huge fat pigs in one hand. Zhang Fei struggled hard and saw that he was about to get rid of Pan Feng. At this time, there was another loud shout.

"Third brother!!! You are going to trap my brother and I will die without being buried!!!"

In the voice of the speaker, there seems to be a magic that can make Zhang Fei, who is in a violent state, stop the struggle. At the same time, Liu Bing in the surrounding area also stopped fighting and slowly retreated a few steps.

In this world, there is only one person who can make Zhang Fei, who has a hot temper, stop his temper. That's his eldest brother, Liu Bei. Liu Bei's eyes were red and he stared at Zhang Fei angrily. Although Zhang Fei did not struggle, he was still full of resentment.

"Brother, it's not my brother's rudeness, but these unruly people really bully people. There is not much grain left in the army. We and other sergeants fight here to protect our families and protect the people, but these unruly people don't know what's good or bad, so they actually come to the barracks to grab military food!"

"Bullshit! Although Longquan County is desolate here, it is also because of this that there are few wars. If you hadn't committed a great crime and fled here to take refuge, how could Longquan County be surrounded by the soldiers and horses of Prime Minister Cao? Now Prime Minister Cao has also guarded the relevant troops in Longquan County and cut off all the water sources. You have caused us and other ordinary people who have no food to eat and no water to drink, and you dare to accuse us of grabbing food in turn!"

In the local people's crowd, a man with Yan Wei's appearance, who knew at a glance that he had been in a high position all year round, suddenly shouted harshly. As soon as he spoke, the sound of conformity immediately sounded in the local people's crowd, all of which were accusing Liu Bei and other sergeants. Zhang Feiyue became more and more angry when he heard it. He was about to roar again, but he was blocked by Liu Bei's vicious eyes.

Liu Bei stepped forward, walked ten meters away from the local people, and bowed his hand.

"The spirit is angry. The difficulty of Longquan is indeed born because of me, Liu Xuande, who brought the military disaster here. Liu can't absolve himself from the blame. However, please also ask the parents of the villagers to believe that Mr. Liu is indeed not killed by Mr. Liu, and it is indeed the crime of Cao Mengde. Liu received Tao Gong's will and took over Xuzhou. If he lost Xuzhou, he would go to the underworld in the future, and he would face Duke Tao under the nine springs. At this point, Liu Mouning will never fulfill Cao Mengde's ambition and give up to Xuzhou.

Liu knows that food is the sky for the people. How dare he make all the villagers' fathers hungry? Come on, give out 20 loads of grain to all the villagers!"

Liu Bei condensed his mind and said, with a look of benevolence and righteousness. Hearing that Liu Bei was willing to share food, the cold resentment on the faces of the surrounding people suddenly decreased a lot. Although they were not afraid to fight with the soldiers, the ants were still alive, and who would not cherish their lives. However, for the generals and soldiers on Liu Jun's side, Liu Bei's words were like thunder in the sky, which made almost all the soldiers change their faces. Zhang Fei couldn't help shouting.

"Brother!! At present, the grain reserves in the army can only last for less than ten days, and if another twenty loads are divided!!"

"Shut up!!! The leader of our army, the military order is like a mountain, who dares to make a decision!! From today on, the whole state government, including my Liu Xuande, will only have one meal, and the rest will be given to the army!!"

Before Zhang Fei finished his words, he was pushed back by Liu Bei's roar, and Liu Bei's words suddenly made the generals and soldiers move. Liu Bei would rather starve himself, his family and his followers than make up for the food gap. Liu Bei was the head of the army, but he was willing to sacrifice for his soldiers. His benevolence and righteousness moved all the soldiers present.
