Xia Houyuan originally thought of having a fight with Zhao Yun here, and both sides tried to control the scale of the war as much as possible.

"Sir, do you think Princess Ninghe knows what this general wants to do? So she's here?"Xia Houyuan asked

"This should be impossible.

Sima Yi hesitated and said,"Princess Ninghe's appearance here may be an accident.""

"So what to do now?"Xia Houyuan asked again

"Send someone to ask the King of Wei for help.

Sima Yi finally said,"Tell the King of Wei about the situation here and let the King of Wei decide what to do." At least the King of Wei must send someone here, otherwise the opponent will have at least two generals, which will be very difficult to defeat."

It's not that Sima Yi didn't think of a way, but if he really thought of a way to defeat Zhao Yun, there would definitely be an extremely brutal battle in the process, which would cause great losses to the Yan State. If the loss is too great, it may arouse the anger of the Yan State. If both sides fight to the death, there will be trouble.

Once Yan and Wei are allowed to fight to the death, which goes against the results Cao Cao wants, Sima Yi must bear the main responsibility, and he will be beheaded. Sima Yi does not want to be responsible, let alone die. So Sima Yi simply asked Xia Houyuan to tell Cao Cao about the situation here and let Cao Cao make a decision. Xia

Houyuan had no other way but to nod and agree to Sima Yi's suggestion.

While sending people to Xudu for help, Xia Houyuan did not go to battle, but They closed the door tightly and hung up the no-war card.

Zhao Yun did not launch an attack, but also built a large camp nearby, and the two sides faced off face to face.

Of course, during this period, Zhao Yun also reported the situation here to Youzhou. Youzhou did not send troops, just let Zhao Yun handle it on his own.

In fact, Youzhou did not want to trigger a large-scale war with Cao Cao. After all, Liu Zhe had not returned yet.

More than a month passed, and Xu Du came There are only one person here.

"Zilian (Cao Hongzi), are you the only one?"Xia Houyuan looked at the visitor and said somewhat speechlessly.

"Yes, the King of Wei asked me to increase the number of brothers." Cao Hong said with a smile.

"What did King Wei say?"Xia Houyuan asked

"The King of Wei said that he would compete with Zhao Yunxu right here."Cao Hong said.

After a pause, he patted his chest and said to Xia Houyuan,"Don't worry, Miaocai. As long as I'm here, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu can't make any waves. Even Ning He Gong is useless.……"

The battle that took place at the border of Yanzhou and Qingzhou naturally spread over time.

People from Yan State immediately sent this information to Liu Zhe.

As for Deng Zhi, the Chu envoy who was in Xudu, after learning that Cao Cao agreed to send troops, he immediately sent someone to Chengdu at night to report the good news to Liu Bei.

From the north to Yizhou, it is faster to take the northern route than the southern route.

But when Liu Zhe received the information that Xia Houyuan and Zhao Yun each led their troops to confront each other at the border between the two states, Liu Bei also received this information at about the same time.

This shows how the people sent by Deng Zhi rushed on their way.

Because Deng Zhi knew how much Liu Bei wanted to wait for this information, but what Deng Zhi never expected was that Liu Bei had already made an agreement with Liu Zhe.

However, Deng Zhi's information is not useless. After Liu Bei received this information,

"With a bang, Liu Bei stood up from the table and shouted:"Okay, okay, it's really good.""

"Bo Miao (characterized by Deng Zhi) is worthy of being my king’s supporter. He was able to persuade the King of Wei to send troops to help. Well, great!"Liu Bei praised Deng Zhi repeatedly and was very happy with what Deng Zhi had accomplished.

Zhuge Liang also smiled and said,"Bo Miao has accomplished an unimaginable thing, and I am far behind.""

Zhuge Liang sent Deng Zhi to Xudu in the hope of persuading Cao Cao to send troops to help, but in fact, Zhuge Liang didn't have much hope in his heart.

Sending Deng Zhi was nothing more than acting as a doctor on a dead horse.

"Now the King of Wei is willing to send troops to help us control the Yan Kingdom. Zhuge

Liang said to Liu Bei,"Once the King of Yan knows this, he will be more eager to return home. As long as the King of Chu completes what he asks, he will retreat faster.""

Zhuge Liang hopes that the things agreed with Liu Zhe will end smoothly and not cause trouble at this time.

However, Liu Bei had different opinions on this. He snorted coldly,"Huh, Liu Zhe is greedy."

"He actually asked me to give him at least 30,000 hu of food at one time. He was really greedy."

Liu Zhe's condition for Liu Bei was that Liu Bei would give him 100,000 hu of grain and 10,000 households. Of course, Liu Bei couldn't afford it at once. Later, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia spent a lot of time in detailed negotiations and finally agreed. Guo Jia gave in, but at least he had to give Liu Bei 30,000 hu of food first.

Now Liu Bei has given nearly 20,000 hu of food. As long as he gives 10,000 more, Liu Zhe's camp will withdraw.

But The 30,000 hu of grain raised has almost drained Liu Bei, and the rations of his soldiers have been reduced a lot. Zhuge

Liang's heart skipped a beat when he heard Liu Bei's words, and his face changed slightly. He seemed to smell something bad._Fei
