Runan City, Yuzhou.
Twenty miles outside the city, a camp stood with flags fluttering.
In the center of the main camp were two large flags, one was a black flag embroidered with golden Liu characters, and the other was a white flag with the four characters Kuangfu Hanshi.
This camp was the army led by Liu Qi who sent troops from Jingzhou.
In the main account.
Liu Qi sat on the main seat, and Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Dian Wei sat on both sides.
"Now that Runan City is so close, how is the situation in the world?"
Liu Qi asked.
Two days have passed since the troops were dispatched.
Because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun and dispatched more than 100,000 troops and horses back to Shouchun, there were not many troops and horses left in Yuzhou.
It can be said that basically the remaining troops and horses in Yuzhou are.
They all gathered in Runan City.
He also saw this situation and sent out troops.
Basically, he encountered no decent obstacles along the way and pushed all the way to Runan City, the city he wanted to capture.
"Back to my lord, the troops from Chang'an have passed through Xuchang, with a total of 100,000 troops; Yuan Shao from Jizhou and Gongsun Zan from Youzhou have joined forces and have arrived at Yanzhou, with a total of 150,000 troops; Liu Bei from Xuzhou has passed through Pengcheng, with a total of 30,000 troops; Sun Quan from Jiangdong sent his troops out of Lujiang, with a total of 80,000 troops; the other prefectures and counties did not take much action."
Guo Jia stood up and replied.
After they sent out troops under the pretext of attacking Yuan Shu and supporting the Han Dynasty, the imperial edict was also issued to all states and counties.
Almost all the princes who received the edict raised troops one after another, but it was only two days later than them.
Guo Jia paused for a moment and continued: "According to the marching speed of various troops and horses, we will arrive in a few days.
Moreover, Yuan Shu has also dispatched troops in Shouchun, appointed Zhang Xun as the general, and led 150,000 troops to come.
Yuzhou; Yuan Shu himself led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the south to intercept the soldiers and horses from Jiangdong; with Ji Ling as general, he stopped our army from taking Shouchun's soldiers and horses directly."
Liu Qi touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "From this point of view, we can't stay here for a long time.
Although we have the upper hand, when troops from all walks of life arrive, Yuzhou will inevitably be in chaos and people will be divided.
Who knows what they are doing?"
What are you paying attention to?”
Guo Jia and others also nodded in agreement, saying to put it nicely, all the soldiers followed the imperial edict and led their troops to attack Yuan Shu, but they basically had their own plans.
"But my lord, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Runan City, and there is also Yuan Shu's general Chen Ji as the main defender.
Even if we attack by force, it is impossible to capture it in one day," Zhao Yun said.
"What General Zhao said is true, my lord.
Although our army has 40,000 people, if we want to forcefully attack Runan City, even if we capture it, we will suffer heavy losses.
If soldiers from all walks of life come and want to withdraw from Yuzhou, it will also be difficult."
There are many difficulties," Wei Yan also agreed.
Guo Jia also nodded in agreement.
After all, a forced attack would go against their previous plan.
What's more, taking Runan City would have no effect on their Jingzhou, and they might be surrounded by other princes in Runan. middle.
Liu Qi grinned, waved his hand, and said: "To capture Runan City, you don't need to attack the city by force.
Taking Runan City is like taking something from a bag.
Setting up camp here is just for waiting."
"Is it possible that the master has made arrangements to wait?"
Guo Jia asked doubtfully.
Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Dian Wei also looked at Liu Qi.
You must know that they have always been by Liu Qi's side, but they did not see any arrangements.
"There is an arrangement, but it was not arranged by me.
The attack on Runan City this time is just for assistance," Liu Qi said with a smile.
Guo Jia and others were even more confused.

At this time, a blood-clothed guard walked in from outside the account.
"Report, my lord, there is a troop of soldiers and horses one mile away to the left of the camp, about 30,000 people, slowly coming towards the camp."
The blood-clothed guard knelt down and said.
"Here we come."
Liu Qi stood up, looked at everyone, and said, "Come with me out to greet you."
After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the camp.
Guo Jia and others saw Liu Qi's behavior and knew that this army was a friend rather than an enemy.
When they sent troops from Jingzhou, they knew that Liu Qi wanted to attack Runan City not to occupy it, but for another purpose.
They looked at each other and then walked out with Liu Qi.
They also wanted to know who was coming.
Liu Qi took Zhao Yun and others out to the gate of the camp.
From time to time, I saw flags fluttering on the left and a troop of soldiers and horses approaching slowly.
The leader is wearing a three-pronged golden crown with hair, a Xichuan red brocade robe with flowers on his body, an animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, an exquisite lion belt tied around his waist, a bow and arrow with him, and a Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, sitting down and hissing in the wind.
Red rabbit horse.
A large golden flag with the word "LV" embroidered on it fluttered in the wind.
"Lu Bu" Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with fighting intent.
Guo Jia and others also knew Lu Bu, and there was surprise in their eyes.
They did not expect that what Liu Qi was waiting for was actually Lu Bu.
Before the alliance, they could have guessed who Liu Qi was assisting in attacking Runan City.
Although Lu Bu left Chang'an when Li Jue and others attacked Chang'an and never made any big moves, just staying in the area at the junction of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, no one would underestimate him, especially Lu Bu himself was an unparalleled warrior. warrior.
Lu Bu led his army to the outside of the camp, and stopped two hundred meters away.
Only he, a general with a slightly paralyzed face, and a scribe rode towards the camp.
"Marquis Wen, I'll be waiting for you for a long time," Liu Qi said with a smile.
Lu Bu also got off his horse and said, "After all, some things need to be arranged and waited for, right?"
He wanted to seize Runan City as his foundation, but he was just cooperating with Liu Qi.
After all, Liu Qi was not worthy of him to follow and serve.
"Thank you very much, Mr.
Liu, for your advice on the matter of Chang'an," Lu Bu continued.
Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "Marquis Wen also returned that favor, didn't he?"
Lu Bu didn't say anything more.
He understood what Liu Qi meant, which was that he sent Li Ru and Jia Xu over.
The somewhat paralyzed general and scribe stood behind Lu Bu without speaking.
"I think the agreement between you and me can be said to have taken effect from now on," Liu Qi asked with a smile.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
"Haha" Liu Qi smiled, then stopped talking and changed the subject, saying: "I think we have already made all preparations for the arrival of Marquis Wen.
In this way, you and I can unite without spending much effort.
Able to capture Runan City" "That's right," Lu Bu said.
With the current arrangement, he could capture Runan City with his own arrangements, but he only agreed to join forces with Liu Qi in order to reduce losses.
What's more, soldiers and horses from all walks of life are coming to Yuzhou.
Yuzhou is like a big whirlpool now.
He also needs to reduce losses and guard Runan City.
Only in this way can he take Runan as his own.
"Come into the tent for discussion, please."
Liu Qi made a gesture of invitation.
As for why he joined forces with Lu Bu, he also had his own plan.

When he went to Xuzhou to persuade Cao Cao, he asked Taishi Ci to send a personal letter to Lu Bu.
"Please" Lu Bu was not pretentious.
The two of them walked side by side toward the camp, with their subordinates following closely behind them
