This Cen Bi was the one who followed Liu Chuang to Beihai from Linzi. He was originally a general of Yuan Tan, but he was not valued by Yuan Tan, so he defected to Liu Chuang. However, when Liu Chuang abandoned the foundation of Beihai and went to Liaodong, Cen Bi was unwilling to accompany him...

Fortunately, he is skilled in swords and horses and has extraordinary martial arts skills.

Liu Chuang introduced him to Liu Ping of Pingyuan, and Liu Ping recommended him to Yuan Shao.

But unexpectedly, they would meet in Yecheng, and Liu Chuang was also very surprised and quickly dismounted and helped him.

Cen Bi smiled bitterly on his face, bowed to Liu Chuang again, and said softly: "After farewell from Beihai, Bi really misses the Emperor's uncle, so I'm here to visit him."

The words reveal a look of regret.

Judging from his appearance, Liu Chuang knew that he was not doing well now.

No wonder he was originally from Yuan Tan's army and later followed Liu Chuang. Even if Liu Ping introduced him, it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to reuse it.

In the winter of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Ping died of illness.

Without Liu Ping's care, Cen Bi's status also plummeted.

Now, he is the guardian of Yecheng City Gate, that is, the gate where Liu broke out of the city just now.

Cen Bi is also deeply regretful now. He thought that when he was in Beihai, he valued Liu Chuang and became the Duchang Duwei, which was also the commander of the army. When Liu Chuang left Beihai, Cen Bi was unwilling to follow Liu Chuang to Liaodong, so he turned to Yuan Shao. But how could a person like him, who was fickle in Qin and Chu be valued by Yuan Shao? After Yuan Shao's death, Cen Bi was even more suppressed and was depressed in Yecheng.

If he had followed Liu Chuang to Liaodong at the beginning, he would have been a general in the army now.

Have you seen Xu Sheng, who was not as good as him at the time, now he has also served as the prefect of Dingxiang. Although his rule is remote, he is a senior member of the two thousand stones after all.

But what about yourself?

So Liu Chuang came to Yecheng this time and Cen Bi had the intention to do it.

He was the guard of the city gate, and his subordinates were all his confidants. When he saw Liu Chuang leave the city, he couldn't help but follow him out of the city and come to visit Liu Chuang.

Seeing Liu Chuang's kind and warm smile, Cen Bi's eyes turned red and he was very grateful.

"I didn't get through the emperor's uncle at the beginning, and now I regret it."

Liu Chuang smiled slightly and patted Cen Bi and said, "General Cen doesn't have to do this. Now Yuan and Liu join forces to fight against Cao, I believe there will be many opportunities. The general has real talent and knowledge and has his own skills, so why should he do this?"

Cen Bi was even more ashamed when he heard this.

Since it was outside the city and Cen Bi was on duty, Liu Chuang couldn't tell him too much and could only encourage him.

But for Cen Bi, this is enough.

When parting, Cen Bi suddenly said, "Uncle Huang is here to come to Yecheng. Be more careful.

The city is quite turbulent now. I heard that many people have secretly contacted Cao Cao. I can't say that an accident will happen at any time.

If possible, don't station in Yecheng to avoid being affected. According to the sixty miles east of Yecheng, there is a Pingyang City with a strong wall. Even if you encounter danger, you can resist it for a while. If the emperor wants to station his army, then Pingyang City is the best place..."

Liu Chuang nodded to show that he understood.

He talked with Cen Bi for a few more words, and the two immediately parted.

"Lord, who is that?"

Lu Xun, Lu Yu and Pang De didn't recognize Cen Bi and couldn't help asking.

Liu Chuang told Cen Bi about it, but it made Pang De and the other two show disdainful expressions and shake their heads repeatedly, "The lord should not believe such people who are fickle in Qin and Chu."

"I was not sure about the situation at that time."

Liu Chuang sighed softly, "Cen Bi chose to leave at that time, and he was no wonder.

Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force them... As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away from each other when the disaster is coming. Even husband and wife are like this, not to mention that my situation was really bad at that time. Donglai of Beihai was threatened by Cao Cao, and I was still trapped in Xudu, and my life and death are uncertain... It was a helpless move to Liaodong. Even I didn't expect that I could gain such a rapid foothold in Liaodong."

Lu Yu couldn't help but say, "The lord is indeed kind and righteous!"

Liu Chuang heard this and laughed...

Liu Chuang and others returned to the camp and rested early.

But Yecheng was undercurrents.

Liu Chuang's arrival disrupted many people's plans. The confidence he showed also made many people secretly feel shocked.

Those who kiss Liu Chuang are naturally full of confidence.

Those who do not kiss Liu Chuang secretly worry... However, the reasons for this worry are different. Some are worried that Liu Chuang will come with a great victory, which will help Yuan Shang become more arrogant; some are worried that Liu Chuang's arrival will bring great changes to their previous plans.

In fact, after Liu Chuang left that night, Yuan Shang returned to the government office and took Yuan Shao's Sizhao sword to cut off the food case, determined to join Liu to fight against Cao, and never change it. Compared with Yuan Shao's hesitation before Liu Chuang arrived, the variables brought by Liu Chuang were indeed quite large.

"Zhao Feng, the third young master has made up his mind. It seems that our previous plans may change."

In the southeast corner of Yecheng, Shenfu.

Chen Lin sat on the couch, showing a look of panic.

"Kong Zhang, don't panic. Our plan is extremely secret. Only a few people except you and me know it. Even if Liu Chuang comes, he will not be able to detect it. However, this person has great luck and inexplicable methods. If he lived in Yecheng for a long time, he would be afraid that he would see the flaws. He must be careful.

Now Yuan Xiansi has made up his mind to fight with Mr. Cao, and we can't continue to persuade him.

Since he wants to help Yuan Tan, we will firmly support him... When he leaves Yecheng, you and we will have the opportunity to act... But before that, we must get rid of Liu Chuang. We must plan this matter as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams and leak out the news."

Shen Rong is Shen Pei's nephew.

He died of both his parents since childhood and was raised by the trial.

Shen Pei died at the hands of Liu Chuang, which also made Shen Rong hate Liu Chuang to the core.

However, in history, he once surrendered to Cao Cao, causing the fall of Yecheng. Shen Pei set fire to the southeast corner tower and buried him in the sea of ​​fire.

He looked up at Chen Lin, and a grim look flashed in his eyes.

"Kong Zhang, you and I have no way out now, so we can only continue to move forward.

You don't have to worry too much about this. I believe that as long as you and I stabilize, there will be no risk... However, Zhong and you have to work harder. He is reluctant to make up his mind. If he can't let him join in, it will sooner or later lead you and me to a desperate situation.

And, the old man Yin Kui is really troublesome.

Instead of letting him continue to make trouble, it is better to let him go and accompany Mr. Yuan... Don't he always say he is loyal? I believe he will definitely be willing to accompany Mr. Yuan."

Chen Lin shook the cicada and looked at Shen Rong with fear in her eyes.

He now regrets it, and it is said that it is a greed to make a mistake... If it weren't for the fact that Shen Rong had been drunk and was taken by the handle, how could he take such a risk? But as Shen Rong said, he had no way out. Now, he only hopes that Cao Cao can call Yecheng as soon as possible.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next day, Liu Chuang entered the city again and discussed specific cooperation matters with Yuan Shang.

According to Liu Chuang's previous discussion with Lu Xun and Lu Yu and others, Yecheng and others would definitely not stay. This was not because of Cen Bi's words, but from the beginning, Liu Chuang thought that Yecheng was too complicated. If he stayed in Yecheng, he would be involved in it if he was accidentally.

Moreover, Cen Bi's warning also made Liu Chuangliu be careful.

Staying in Yecheng is by no means the best way!

Fortunately, Yuan Shang seemed unwilling to let him stay in Yecheng. He was worried that Liu Chuang would have adverse consequences if he stayed in Yecheng for too long... After discussing with Liu Chuang, Yuan Shang said that Liu Chuang could station in Wucheng forty miles east of Yecheng. Originally, Liu Chuang hoped to be stationed in Pingyang City, but after inquiring, he found out that Pingyang City was indeed solid and thick, but he hoarded a lot of food and grass. How could Yuan Shang agree?

However, Wucheng seems to be good, smaller than Pingyang, with a population of thousands, just like a fort.

"At the morning of the morning, I received a request for help from my brother. Yan Liang and Xu You were already at the city of Liyang and asked me to send troops to rescue me.

I am going to lead my troops to Liyang to assist in the war. At that time, please help me protect the food route. After I defeat the thief, we will discuss in detail."

Liu Chuang heard this and did not refuse.

In history, during the Battle of Liyang, Yuan Shang did send troops to rescue Yuan Tan.

Originally, the two brothers worked together to stop Cao Cao. But Yuan Tan and Cao Cao later negotiated peace privately and betrayed Yuan Shang, which completely broke down the relationship between the two brothers, and gave Cao Cao the opportunity to defeat each other, allowing Cao Cao to unify the north.

"Three Young Master, please pay attention to Brother Ling."

Although he knew that these words were not good, Liu Chuang could not help but reminded him.

Yuan Shangwen was stunned and then smiled and said, "Uncle Emperor, don't worry, my brother is not a fool, so how could he do something that is not good for me?"

He is indeed not stupid, but he is obsessed with greed.

But Liu Chuang certainly would not say such words. If he said too much, he would misunderstand Yuan Shang.

"In this way, I wish the third young master a victory and a success."

Yuan Shang laughed loudly and happily accepted Liu Chuang's blessing...

To send troops to rescue Li Yang, some preparations are needed.

Liu Chuang did not disturb Yuan Shang anymore and said goodbye and left.

After walking out of the government office, he found Lu Yu. After whispering a few words in Lu Yu's ear, Lu Yu hurriedly left.

"Ling Ming, Bo Yan, it's still early, so how about we go to Yecheng?"

Liu Chuang suddenly became interested and made suggestions to Pang De and Lu Xun.

Naturally, the two of them would not refuse Liu Chuang's request, so they took more than ten people to stroll on the streets of Yecheng in a simple costume.

Later generations, Yecheng was once the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

After the Cao Wei, Later Zhao, Ran Wei, Former Yan, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Six Dynasties, it lived in the political, economic, cultural and military centers of the Dahe Basin for four centuries, and was ultimately not in the war. Liu Chuang could not imagine what Yecheng would look like four centuries later, but now it is not small in scale, with a population of more than 200,000, which can be regarded as an important place in Hebei.

After Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he expanded and repaired Yecheng several times, with the city wall reaching eight feet high, almost the same as Luoyang.

Liu Chuang and his party walked in the streets of Yecheng, but they clearly felt the floating and panic over Yecheng. Yuan Shang was too young and did not have enough merits, so that although he took over the position of general, he could never eliminate the concerns and fears of the people of Yecheng.
