Chapter 26
Liu Bei also had his own considerations.
First, Zhang Fei had given the Zou family to Deng Mu, so he must not be able to send her away again, otherwise it would be a rejection of Zhang Fei's kindness.
Furthermore, Liu Bei also intended to reward Deng Mu with several maids to serve Deng Mu in his daily life.
This Zou Yu'er is just following the current.
Furthermore, by letting his confidant and military advisor marry the daughter of the Zou family, he could also use this marriage to win over and appease the hearts of Wancheng.
This is Liu Bei's selfishness.
So he simply acted as a matchmaker so that Deng Mu could accept Zou Yu'er legitimately.
Zou Yu'er didn't want Liu Bei to ask this question, so she suddenly felt dizzy and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I said Zou Yatou, Ziyu is a handsome man, and he is my brother’s military advisor, but he is a strange man in the world."
"The fact that you can marry such a husband is your blessing in your previous life. Why are you still hesitating?"
Zhang Fei was also impatient, and when he saw Zou Yu'er being coy, he immediately complained.
Zou Yu'er was shocked and weighed it secretly.
He glanced at Deng Mu secretly. He was indeed handsome and elegant, and he looked like a handsome man.
As the saying goes, people love beauty. It's all true.
Men love beauties, and women naturally do the same. Who doesn't prefer handsome men?
Moreover, this handsome man is also the military advisor of Liu Bei, the new master of Wancheng. He has a high and powerful position.
His family will have to rely on Liu Bei in the future. If Liu Bei's military adviser gives him protection, it will be beneficial to the Zou family. In short, marrying Deng Mu is ten thousand times better than marrying Zhang Ji...
After weighing it secretly,
Zou Yu'er blushed. , lowered his head, nodded lowly and said:
"If Military Advisor Deng doesn't dislike Yu'er, Yu'er is willing to listen to Liu Shijun's arrangements.~~"
This is promised.
Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Deng Mu:
"Military advisor, did you hear what Miss Zou said? I am willing."
"I'm going to send someone to the Zou Mansion to propose marriage now. You've legitimately married Miss Zou, so you don't have to worry about it now."
When it comes to this, if you shirk it anymore, it will seem hypocritical.
Deng Mu then smiled and held his hand to Liu Bei:
"Thank you for your lord's kindness, then Mu will be more respectful than obey your orders and let your lord arrange it. Liu
Bei laughed and said happily:
"Xiao Ai, bring the wine quickly, I want to have a few drinks with your brother!"
"Okay, I'll get the wine right now!"
In the palace, hearty laughter echoed
…
Ten miles north of Rang County is the Xiliang Army camp.
Zhang Xiu stood with his hands behind his hands, staring at the map, listening to his subordinate Hu Cheer's military report.
"According to careful investigation, Liu Bei's troops have crossed the border of Nanyang and are heading towards Rang County."
"Judging from his marching route, he should be coming to Rang County to meet Liu Biao!"
"Liu Beijun should be able to reach Rang County in four days at most."
Hu Che'er read out the information.
Zhang Xiu's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm, and he sneered:
"My uncle is indeed an old man. Liu Bei really led his army to join Liu Biao and wanted to join forces to deal with my Zhang family."
"This mat weaver and shoe seller wanted to use this battle to please Liu Biao so that he could take refuge under Liu Biao's wing."
After the sarcasm, Zhang Xiu turned back to his seat and drank a glass of wine.
Looking at his relaxed look, it seemed that he didn't even take Liu Bei's participation in the battle seriously.
"Young General, I heard that Liu Bei's guy severely wounded Lu Bu."
"This time he has brought at least more than 10,000 men. If he joins forces with Liu Biao, his strength will be at least several times that of our army."
"If these two Lius join together, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the general to deal with them."
Hu Che'er reminded carefully.
"So what if he defeated Lu Bu? When Lu Bu killed Dong Gong and dominated Chang'an, wasn't he killed by us and fled?"
"Besides, if Liu Bei was really good, why would Lu Bu steal Xuzhou and come to Liu Biao in despair?"
"As for the 10,000 soldiers and horses he brought, I heard that they were all yellow turban soldiers. They were just a ragtag group with little fighting power."
Zhang Xiu sipped the wine with contempt and disdain.
Hu Che'er heard that it made sense and nodded in agreement.
"When the two Lius join forces, although there are many soldiers and horses, they are all infantry. This is their weakness."
"All I have to do is pretend to retreat north, and Liu will go north to pursue me. I can use my light cavalry to steal the retreat, and I can cut off their food route in one fell swoop."
"By then, their army will be several times larger than ours, and they will be in chaos without a fight! Zhang
Xiu, with a proud look on his face, spoke out the plan he had been planning for a long time.
Hu Cheer suddenly understood and said in surprise:
"It turns out that the young general has a clever plan to defeat the enemy, so we can rest assured"
"Don't worry, Major General, I will personally tear off Liu Bei's dog's head at the end of the day and present it to my lord as a wedding gift."
The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth raised, and he raised his head and was about to finish the glass of wine.
At this moment, the bodyguard stumbled into the tent and threw himself to the ground.
"Report to Major General, something happened in Wancheng!"
"Then Liu Bei and his army suddenly descended from the sky like divine soldiers and charged into my Wancheng city from the north!"
"Our Wancheng army is empty, we were caught off guard, and have been captured by Liu Bei!"
"My lord, he had no time to evacuate and was captured by Liu Bei. He was actually killed alive...……"
"I'm so angry!"
Like a thunder, it exploded in the tent.
Hu Che'er's mouth opened wide and he froze on the spot.
Zhang Xiu's figure also froze, his face suddenly changed in shock, and the wine glass he raised to his mouth also fell from his hand. Wan Xiu also dropped his hand. The city is gone?
Uncle Zhang Ji is dead?
This shocking change happened so suddenly that Zhang Xiu didn't react for a while.
After a while, with a"crash" sound, Zhang Xiu overturned the case. He jumped up from the ground and lifted the bodyguard violently
"Do you know what you are talking about? ?"
"Liu Bei hasn't arrived at Rangcheng yet, how could he attack Wancheng secretly?"
"My uncle is still getting married, how could he die?"
"You lied about military information, I will kill you!"
Zhang Xiu's face was filled with blue veins, and he roared at his guards almost hysterically.
The guards were so frightened that their legs went weak and they shouted in a trembling voice:
"Major General calm down, this is the news brought back by the brothers who escaped. How dare you lie about the military situation!"
Zhang Xiu was shocked, then threw his guards on the ground and ordered the messenger to be called in for personal interrogation. After a while, several remaining soldiers entered the tent after defeat, fell to their knees on the ground, and told the story of the cause and effect in tears.
Gradually.
The anger and ferocious look on Zhang Xiu's face turned into shock and horror
"We've fallen into a trap!"
"Liu Bei actually used a false way to destroy Guo and sneaked into Wancheng from Cao Cao's territory?"
"How could that person who weaves mats and sells shoes be able to use such a trick?"
Zhang Xiu fell down and sat down, completely out of his mind.
