Chapter 449
Liu Yu thought for a moment and replied, "It will take at least ten days and a half a month."
"After all, it takes time to gather soldiers and raise supplies."
Liu Bei frowned on the spot, "Ten days and a half a month?"
He rubbed his hands and looked anxious.
If Liu Yu wanted to delay for some time, it would take a month.
If he returned too late, the entire coalition would run out of food and grass by then, and would flee without waiting for the Xiliang Army to attack.
Liu Yu saw Liu Bei's anxious expression and remained silent.
Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Can Lord Qu Mu be as fast as possible?"
He didn't dare to blame or urge him.
For fear that the other party would get angry and refuse the matter that had just been discussed on the spot.
"This..." Liu Yu knocked on the table again.
The clicking sound seemed to be on Liu Bei's heartstrings.
"It's not impossible." Liu Yu's words gave Liu Bei a glimmer of hope.
Under Liu Bei's eager gaze, Liu Yu slowly said, "You have to pay more."
...
In the wilderness, the Tanghai army marched fast.
According to Liu Yu's order, the Five Tiger Generals and 3,000 cavalrymen went out first.
Among them, Sun Ce and Huang Gai were also brought along, so that Sun Jian could see how his son had grown up.
But the two were not very happy.
They didn't want to leave Tanghai at all.
Especially Huang Gai.
They found a way to pack several jars of Tanghai's wine, and then they reluctantly hardened their hearts and followed the cavalry.
Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan followed with 7,000 civilians.
The two teams went towards Luoyang, one fast and one slow.
Liu Bei rode on Tanghai's warhorse, and was so excited.
A good horse.
These words emerged in his mind.
It was completely different from the warhorse he rode when he went to Tanghai before.
Tanghai's warhorse made him realize what it meant to gallop.
Although there were only 3,000 cavalrymen, Liu Bei was also very excited.
The cavalry galloped across the wilderness, and the grandeur made his blood boil.
If he hadn't really gotten along with Liu Yu, he would have been tempted to join the cavalry.
In the end, Liu Yu was allowed to quickly gather the army and set off by adding money.
Before he came, Yuan Shao had explained that he could promise certain benefits.
Knowing that Tang Hai hadn't come before, he wouldn't come for no reason this time.
It must cost some money.
As a child of a noble family, Yuan Shao, who was accustomed to conflicts of interest, was just right in this regard.
However, what made Liu Bei even more shocked was that the number Liu Yu said was just a little more than what Yuan Shao gave.
Just exceeded, but it was barely acceptable.
It was as if Liu Yu knew Yuan Shao's psychological bottom line clearly, but slightly squeezed it.
Such a precise control level made Liu Bei admire it.
That was an ability to easily peek into what the other party was thinking.
Liu Bei also wanted it.
But I don't have that talent.
I still need to hone my skills!
Liu Bei sighed in his heart.
I used to be a little arrogant in Xuzhou.
With the improvement of his status, Liu Bei felt that he had made a name for himself.
However, when he met Liu Yu again this time, he suddenly felt that the gap between them had not narrowed, but widened.
This shattered Liu Bei's arrogance.
He wanted to improve himself again.
He refused to admit defeat!
Liu Yu slightly slowed down his horse and came to Liu Bei's side.
Seeing the other party's expression, Liu Yu smiled and asked, "What do you think of me, the Five Tiger Generals of Tanghai?"
Liu Bei looked in the direction of the whip in Liu Yu's hand, and his heart trembled.
Envy and jealousy instantly surged in his heart.
"Extremely powerful, invincible in the world!"
Liu Bei said without any concealment.
"Tang Hai's generals are unmatched!"
Liu Bei, who was full of admiration, secretly said in his heart, if these five generals were mine, the world would have them!
Whether it was the handsome outfits of the five tiger generals or the various military equipment of the other side, Liu Bei was drooling.
When these five people stood there, they didn't need to show anything, and they could make the world think that they must be peerless generals.
There would not be even a little doubt in their hearts.
Even if Lu Bu, whose reputation has skyrocketed recently, was placed in front of these five people, Liu Bei felt that he would not be a match for these five people.
Five Tiger Generals!
Liu Bei felt bitter in his heart.
How could there be so many things about Tang Hai that people envy and envy? !
"Is Xuande very jealous?" Liu Yu's voice sounded.
"Yes...ah, no! Absolutely not!" Liu Bei nodded and shook his head vigorously.
"I mean, I am envious."
"But I am definitely not jealous."
"The fact that Tang Hai has so many powerful generals has a lot to do with Lord Qu Mu."
"The Five Tiger Generals leading the cavalry in front of us are not something that ordinary people can control.""Especially the man with the beautiful beard. Such a proud and arrogant general, if it weren't for Lord Qu Mu's extraordinary ability, he would never be able to follow him wholeheartedly."
"Although the princes of the world are jealous of the Five Tiger Generals, they have no power to control them."
"This is something that Lord Qu Mu cannot do."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Xuande to speak more and more beautifully after hanging around in Xuzhou."
Liu Bei thought to himself that in Xuzhou, others always spoke well of him.
It was here that he needed to speak well of Liu Yu.
He didn't know how long he hadn't said compliments.
Finding Liu Yu looking at him, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Who would speak badly in front of the Five Tiger Generals and the cavalry of Tanghai?"
"Even if the King of Hell in the underworld came, he would have to say a few flattering words."
...
Jicheng.
After receiving the news, Liu Yu immediately went to the city wall to watch.
The Tanghai cavalry galloping southward made him extremely envious.
He clenched his fists again and again.
He finally began to understand why Gongsun Zan was so happy and ran to Tanghai's side.
He also began to understand why Tanghai advocated the use of force against those foreign races.
But he was gentle.
Because the other side was strong in force, and he was not.
He had to be gentle.
If there were such cavalry, he would also want to rush to the grassland with them.
Cut all those damn foreign races.
"Alas!"
Standing on the city wall and looking south, Liu Yu sighed to the sky.
However, before he could feel melancholy, an official came to report, "If another 10% of the people in the city run away, the governor must make a decision early, otherwise it won't take long for the people to run to Tanghai's side!"
Liu Yu seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Disheartened, he put his hands into his sleeves.
"Forget it."
"Let them go."
"Following Tang Hai is like belonging."
"At least I can have a full meal, which is better than being hungry in Youzhou."
"No matter where they are, aren't they all Han people?"
He retracted his gaze and looked down at the streets in Jicheng.
Muttered softly: "Even if we take a step back, they are still Han people."
"If the Han people are like the people of Tang Hai, they can have a full meal and stand between heaven and earth with sharp swords."
"That can also be regarded as a kind of development."
"The soul of Han is immortal..."
