The two walked and chatted while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood by and soon arrived at Liu Yu's mansion. As soon as everyone arrived this time, Liu Yu opened the door of the mansion and welcomed Chen Yong, Liu Bei and others into the hall.

. Chen Yiran also jumped off the carriage, ran to his adoptive father, and talked to him while jumping up and down, making Liu Boan laugh heartily from time to time.

When everyone arrived in the hall and the guests and hosts were seated, Chen Yiran was pulled by Liu Yu and sat next to him. Liu Yu looked at everyone and said, "I think everyone already knows that there will be heavy snow in western Liaoning. In this case, for

For Gongsun Zan, the Cavalry Commander, it was even more difficult.

You keep asking me why I don't send troops to rescue Gongsun Zan. It's not that I, Liu Yu, don't want to, but that I can't. Today I, Liu Yu, are sent to be the shepherd of Youzhou because of my experience as the governor of Youzhou in the early years. Your Majesty is

I hope that I can use the prestige I left here in my early years to unite the leaders of the minority tribes in the north of Youzhou and make them submit to the Han.

However, Your Majesty did not allocate any money, food, troops and horses to me. I, Liu Bo'an, have to prepare everything myself! In Your Majesty's opinion, there is already a large army of Zhonglang General Meng Yi. I only need to contact the Youzhou clan to manage it well.

This is an important border area. But how could Meng Yi and Gongsun Zan obey my orders?

The reason why I stationed myself in Jicheng when I arrived was because I had too few soldiers and horses, and not much money and food. They were not enough to pose a threat to the rebels! When I came, I heard that Gongsun Zan defeated the rebels at Shimen.

Because of his rashness, he was trapped in Guanzicheng by Qiu Liju's soldiers.

And I wanted to join forces with General Meng Yi of Zhonglang and put down the rebellion with the help of his troops. But for some reason, Meng Yi was unwilling to send troops to rescue General Gongsun at this time. He only used troops on the periphery and did not go deep into western Liaoning. As long as I come forward

If I find him, he will tell me that most of the troops have already gone out to suppress the rebellion, and we will discuss it when we get back!

Therefore, I could only rely on letters to unite with the foreign leaders such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, Haoqian, etc., hoping that they would work together to subdue Wuhuanqiu Liju, so that he would be intimidated and would not dare to embarrass General Gongsun. Although my control was effective to a certain extent.

However, Qiu Liju was unwilling to release Gongsun Zan, who was surrounded by his army in Guanzi City in western Liaoning.

I have no choice but to let him be so rampant! The truth is that I am powerless and cannot be sure of victory! Only by maintaining the status quo can I, Liu Yu, slowly grow stronger. Only then will the troops in my hands become more powerful.

The more money I have, the more money and food I will have. Only then will I be sure to take down the rebels in one fell swoop!

I have always kept what Chen Yong said in mind, but now my ability is limited and I can only control the foreign tribes in Youzhou by relying on gentle policies. It is wishful thinking to use their troops to quell the rebellion. But I

I have already contacted Shangqiu Liju, and he has promised me that as long as I do not send troops to defeat him, he will not attack the Cavalry Commander Gongsun Zan, but will only besiege but not attack.

This is the fundamental reason why I have never sent troops to Guanzicheng in western Liaoning to rescue Gongsun Zan. As long as I take action, it will inevitably attract the attention of foreign leaders such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, Haoqian and so on. Even if I win,

Okay, what if I are defeated? What prestige can I use to control them?

Nowadays, there is heavy snow in western Liaoning. I was worried that Gongsun Zan in Guanzi City would not be able to survive, so I found Liu Xuande and asked him to find General Chen Yong. Now I can only rely on you two to jointly send troops to rescue Gongsun Zan. But I can come up with something

There are only 3,000 troops and horses to support. Because I have to leave some troops to patrol the border.

The more this time comes, the more I have to pay attention to details. I believe that where I patrol the border, I will definitely attract Qiu Liju's attention, and I will definitely be able to control some of his troops. This will also provide you with some help in secretly rescuing Gongsun Zan.

It's just that I can only put pressure on Wuhuan, but I can't send troops to help. Please forgive me for my difficulty.

For the time being, I can only provide you with 3,000 elite soldiers and a month's pay for 5,000 men and horses. The rest of the matter can only be dealt with by you two. I only hope that God will favor the man and allow you to send troops smoothly.

!As long as General Gongsun can be rescued, I, Liu Yu, will definitely write to the emperor and give you two a reward! What do you two think?"

Chen Yong and Liu Bei bowed together and thanked Master Liu Yu for his promotion. As for how to distribute these three thousand troops, Liu Yu left it to Chen Yong and Liu Xuande to negotiate. Liu Xuande looked at Chen Yong

Said: "General Chen, look at these three thousand elite soldiers, how should we distribute them?"

Chen Yong knew that he could ask for a few hundred people at most. With Liu Bei's character, he could at most agree to divide the troops equally according to the number of troops commanded by the two families. However, if he only added a few hundred people, he would not be able to arrange his own troops.

What effect does it have? Moreover, it seems that I am too fussy, which is not conducive to my future friendship with Liu Xuande.

Chen Yong then replied: "Xuan Degong has participated in many large and small battles. His ability to command troops is much better than that of his younger brother! I, Chen Yong, only ask for food and salary for 1,200 men. As for these soldiers and horses?

?It is better to be led by Duke Xuande. In this case, it is better to determine the strategic direction. Duke Xuande will be the commander and I will support him. Duke Xuande, you can work harder and take on this important responsibility!"

Liu Bei was so happy that he went out of the city to meet Chen Yong. All he did was show weakness. He hoped to take the initiative when the troops were divided this time. Because he himself did not expect that Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, would like Chen Yong and even accepted Chen Yong.

She is still an adopted daughter. If Chen Yong competes with him for power now, he is really not sure who Liu Yu will favor.

How could Liu Bei not be overjoyed when he heard that Chen Yong was so knowledgeable? Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a changed impression of Chen Yong and sincerely accepted him. They both hoped that in the next contact, the eldest brother could

Incorporated Chen Yong and let him join his camp.

Liu Bei said: "General Chen, as you said, I, Liu Bei, am not talented, so I am willing to be the commander-in-chief of the army! I will bear the main responsibility for sending troops to the battle of Guanzicheng in western Liaoning, whether it is victory or defeat. I believe that General Chen has

With coordination, our two combined armies will definitely be able to win the battle and achieve success immediately!"

Liu Bo'an was very fond of Chen Yong's profound righteousness, and he also relied more on Liu Xuande. Because Liu Bei participated in more wars, he believed that he would be able to control the battle situation better if he commanded the troops. But he

So the two of them were asked to negotiate the allocation, just to see how well they understood each other.

Liu Yu naturally knew that if the two families jointly send troops to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two, they must work together. And in this way, one party must make a compromise. Chen Yong can understand so well

Righteousness has won my heart very much. Just by doing this, after the war is over, I, Liu Yu, will also give Chen Yong a birthright.

Liu Yu said: "That being the case, you two should make some preparations and send out troops immediately. My daughter Chen Yiran, please stay with me for a while. General Chen, don't worry, I, Liu Yu, will take care of her.

, we will definitely give her the best living conditions."

Before Chen Yong could answer, Chen Yiran said: "My foster father, thank you very much for your kindness. It's just that I am seriously ill and must rely on Master Zuo Ci's elixir to save my life. Master Zuo Ci specially pointed out last night that this

During my next trip to western Liaoning, the medicines I need will appear. With Master Zuo Cixian taking care of me, I, Chen Yiran, will be fine. Please don’t worry about me, my foster father."

Liu Yu was taken aback and asked: "Yiran, what disease do you have? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I, Liu Yu, am not talented, but I can mobilize all the resources in Youzhou to treat you! No matter what you need,

I can find any medicine for you!"

Chen Yiran said: "I don't know what kind of medicine I need, but Master Gu Xian said that my disease is caused by congenital damage and cannot be cured by the power of medicine and stone. He can only reduce my pain.

If he wants to be truly cured, he needs to wait until he returns to Tianzhu Mountain and consult the Heavenly Book to find out whether he can be cured..."

Liu Yu said: "Is your disease so difficult to treat? Did your family never think about treatment before?"

Chen Yiran replied: "My father has always taken care of me. I couldn't see a doctor or visit friends for several years for the problem I had in my womb. No one could do anything about it. I had given up treatment. It was only after my elder brother Chen Yong got acquainted with Master Zuo Cixian that I

I regained my hope and am willing to let the immortal master heal me."

Liu Yu said: "That being the case, you should go to western Liaoning with Master Zuo Ci first. After you come back, come to Jicheng. I, Liu Yu, will definitely summon the world's miracle doctors to consult for you. As long as I, Liu Yu, are here, I will definitely

It will help you regain your health!”

Chen Yong and Chen Yiran knelt down together and thanked Liu Bo'an for his great kindness. But based on this statement, Chen Yong had regarded Liu Yu as a confidant. It was not his official position, but the title of Youzhou Mu that was worthy of his respect.

Liu Yu followed everyone to the camp outside the gate, and the commander Xian Yufu came out to greet him. When Xian Yufu heard that Liu Yu had agreed, he borrowed three thousand elite soldiers and Liu Xuande, and ordered him to lead the troops to join forces with Chen Yong and go to western Liaoning.

When Guan Zicheng rescued the Cavalry Commander Gongsun Zan, he was shocked.

However, Xian Yufu did not say anything in front of everyone. Instead, he sent an order to Xian Yuyin, ordering him to select 3,000 elite soldiers to lead out of the camp! After a while, Xian Yuyin led 3,000 elite soldiers out of the camp and brought them out.

This army of one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry was handed over to Liu Bei.

Liu Xuande received the military talisman and arrow, and together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he led the troops ahead. He also received food and wages for 3,500 men from Liu Yu, and returned to his camp so that he could train his troops and make early preparations.

Liu Yu also ordered his subordinate Tian Chou to take the food and wages of 1,500 people and the purchased wine and meat to Chen Yong's camp to express his gratitude to Chen Yong's army for his help. He also told Chen Yong to be quick with his troops.

He will send Xian Yufu to lead his army to patrol the border.

Chen Yong and Chen Yiran bid farewell to Liu Bo'an and rushed to the camp twenty miles away from Jicheng with Tian Chou. Tian Chou said little and followed Chen Yong's arrangements. When Tian Chou followed Chen Yong to the camp beside the road,

Outside the camp, his eyes suddenly lit up and he returned to normal.

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang welcomed Chen Yong and his sister back to the camp together. They unloaded the food, wine and meat that Tian Chou had brought, and invited Tian Chou to come into the camp to drink together. Tian Chou declined the kindness of everyone, including Chen Yong who handed it to him

He didn't accept any of the silver reward, but turned around and left with his entourage.

Chen Yong conveyed the instructions of Master Liu Yu in front of everyone, and ordered Chen Yongjun and Liu Beijun to march into western Liaoning. Liu Bei was the commander, and Chen Yong led the army to provide support. They must rescue Gongsun Zan who was trapped in Guanzi City!

Everyone had already guessed the result, so naturally they were not surprised. Chen Yong sent an order to the army to drink as much as they wanted tonight, and early tomorrow morning they would travel under the stars and night to rush to Guanzi City in western Liaoning together with Liu Bei's army.

That night, the soldiers once again lit a bonfire, drank wine, ate meat, and enjoyed life! At this time, Chen Yong, looking at the joy of the soldiers in the camp, really hoped that when he rescued Gongsun Zan, his army would
Chapter completed!
