Liu Yu happily kissed Ren Hongchang's pink and tender face, and urged: "Tell me what is Jizhou's fourth reaction?" ”

Ren Hongchang smiled at Liu Yu, gently leaned his head on Liu Yu's shoulder, and said softly in Liu Yu's ear: "The last reaction is naturally the army!" After learning that his husband was going to prepare to attack Jizhou, Yuan Shao had trouble sleeping. 3. Later, at the suggestion of Guo Tu, he began to recruit troops in the territory at any cost. Yuan Shao's recruitment list said that whether it is a ruffian thief or a robber and bandit, once he joins his army, then the past will not be investigated. This move also recruited more than 20,000 recruits for him, but Yuan Shao was not satisfied with this, he continued to recruit soldiers while releasing criminals from all prisons in Jizhou and forcibly integrating them into the army, but where are there so many criminals and bandits in Jizhou! Yuan Shao spent great effort and price to finally get only 30,000 new soldiers, but Ke Fujun's army and grain and grass became more and more concentrated. Yuan Shao became a little crazy under the anxiety and panic, he actually forcibly conscripted farmers into the army, and in just one month, his army changed from the original 330,000 to the current 700,000! ”

Yuan Shao is actually catching strong men? Hehe, an army of 700,000, it sounds a little scary! But will Liu Yu be afraid of those "militiamen" who have only been in existence for a month and have not yet undergone rigorous combat training and tactical drills? If Yuan Shao really sent those "militiamen" to the battlefield, then Liu Yu only needed a cavalry charge to frighten those honest and simple recruits who had only dealt with the land all their lives into turning around and running. When the time comes, there is no need for Liu Yu to attack again, and Yuan Shaojun will be completely defeated due to the panic of this group of "militias"!

Maybe he noticed the contemptuous expression on Liu Yu's face. Ren Hongchang held Liu Yu's face, looked directly at Liu Yu, and said, "Husband, don't be careless." Yuan Shao is not so mediocre and incompetent as to directly send recruits to the battlefield! ”

Liu Yu frowned slightly, and asked with interest: "Then how did he arrange those recruits?" ”

Ren Hongchang let go of his hand, leaned back on Liu Yu's shoulder, and said softly: "Yuan Shao divided his original 330,000 veterans into five parts, of which about 30,000 soldiers were appointed as junior officers at the level of 'Shi Chang', responsible for leading the training of recruits and imparting some battlefield experience. 30,000 veterans and 400,000 recruits led by more than 10,000 bandits with combat experience were sent by Yuan Shao to each county to be responsible for the city defense, and Yuan Shao's order to the city defense generals was. Let them intensify the training of new recruits while guarding the city gates. ”

Liu Yu frowned slightly, and said, "You mean that unless it's a siege battle, we won't meet those recruits?" Ren Hongchang nodded. Liu Yu then asked: "That means that Yuan Shao has gathered all the elite soldiers to fight us head-on?" ”

Ren Hongchang shook his head and said: "The concubine body is not very clear, I only know that Yuan Shao first transferred 50,000 people from the remaining 300,000 veterans to Yan Liang and asked him to garrison in Hejian County. to resist the offensive from Youzhou. In order to make up for Yan Liang's lack of resourcefulness. Yuan Shao also ordered Guo Tu to serve as a military advisor, with full responsibility for the defense of Hejian and Bohai counties. Then Yuan Shao transferred another 50,000 men to Wen Chou, and ordered Wen Chou to lead troops to the plains to guard against the army led by the Yanzhou general Zhang He. Of course, Wen Chou, who was only armed with force, had to obey the orders of the Fengji military division who was in charge of the defense of the two counties of Qinghe and Pingyuan. ”

Speaking of this, Ren Hongchang took a breath of relief, taking advantage of this moment, Liu Yu volleyed a cup of tea, warmed it with internal force, and then said thoughtfully: "Come." Baby, let's take a sip of hot tea to moisten your throat! ”

Ren Hongchang had a happy expression on his face. looked at Liu Yu without saying a word. Liu Yu willingly put the teacup between her lips, and carefully served his beloved baby who owed a lot! After taking a few sips, Ren Hongchang shook her head and said that it was enough, and after Liu Yu put back the teacup, she continued: "The 50,000 infantry in the remaining 200,000 troops are personally led by Yuan Shao to guard the state seat of Jizhou, which is currently the largest and most populous Anping County in Jizhou. As for the remaining 60,000 cavalry and 90,000 infantry, they will be under the command of Wei Zhongdao and Lü Bu, who will lead their troops south to the front line of Yecheng and Wei County to resist the main army led by Fujun and General Gao Shun and the state army. ”

"Will the 'general' lead his troops south?" Liu Yu confirmed suspiciously: "Could it be that Wei Zhongdao and Lu Bu haven't left yet?" ”

Ren Hongchang embarrassedly flashed his little fragrant tongue to Liu Yu and said, "I'm sorry, husband." The concubine was wrong, according to the information received by the concubine today, Wei Zhongdao had led 60,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to Wei County, and also had a small offensive and defensive battle with the Gao Shun army outside the city! ”

After listening to Ren Hongchang's words, Liu Yu asked in some surprise: "What, Gao Shun has hit the city of Wei County?" ”

Ren Hongchang nodded and said in an affirmative tone: "Yes!" Although we have not yet received a battle report from General Gao Shun, the news from Jizhou shows that General Gao Shun has recovered the three county towns of Wei County near Bingzhou, and is now preparing to take the strategically important Wei County City! ”

Gao Shun's movements are very fast, it seems that I have to speed up too! Liu Yu spurred himself on and asked casually, "Since Wei Zhongdao has already arrived in Wei County, then Lu Bu should also fast enter Yecheng, right?" ”

To Liu Yu's surprise, Ren Hongchang shook his head and said with a slightly confused expression: "Lu Bu entered Yecheng, but what made the concubine feel strange was that after Lu Bu left 30,000 infantry in Yecheng, he immediately took his cavalry numbering about 50,000 to the direction of Chaoge County. ”

"Chaoge?" Liu Yu frowned, and said with some puzzlement: "Although it is backed by Taihang and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a lonely city, and it has little strategic significance. What is Lu Bu doing there with his troops? Even if he wants to defend the city, his 50,000 cavalry suitable for field charges won't make a difference?! It's weird! ”

Although Liu Yu didn't figure it out, Ren Hongchang's eyes lit up as if she had been woken up by Liu Yu, she hugged Liu Yu's neck, and said happily: "Husband, do you know that there is a small plain called 'Muyeyuan' with an area of about ten miles between Chaoge and Hanoi, which is the only place to enter Jizhou from Hanoi. Lu Bu: It's very likely that he wants to fight a field battle with your husband there! ”

Jungler-war? Me and Lu Bu? Ren Hongchang's words made Liu Yu feel sick. Maybe seeing Liu Yu's strange face, Ren Hongchang stimulated Liu Yu again: "Husband, what's wrong with you." Do you think that Lu Bu will not fight with you in the wilderness? ”

"Of course not!" Liu Yu forcibly held back his disgust and said loudly in a firm tone.

Ren Hongchang was taken aback by Liu Yu's abrupt move, she stretched out her little hand and patted Liu Yu a few times, and said coquettishly: "No, it won't be, husband, what are you doing so loudly?" After Liu Yu apologized to her, she asked again: "Husband, why are you so sure that Lu Bu will not ...... with you?"

Liu Yu hurriedly interrupted those three words. Find a reason to explain: "Although we do not have an army of 300,000 as claimed to the outside world, the number of nearly 200,000 soldiers is real!" Among them, there are as many as 80,000 cavalry alone, and there are even fierce generals such as Xu Chu, Ji Ling, and Zhao Yun, whose force is only slightly inferior to Lu Bu. May I ask Lu Bu why he came to fight with me...... That, head-on confrontation in the wild? ”

"What the husband said is reasonable!" Ren Hongchang nodded in agreement when he heard this, and then asked with doubts: "Then husband, why do you think Lu Bu led the cavalry to Chaoge?" ”

Liu Yu really doesn't know what kind of madness Lu Bu is doing! So he simply said to Ren Hongchang very arrogantly: "We don't have to guess Lu Bu's thoughts, because I believe that under the absolute strength of our army." Any conspiracy is illusory. Nothing can stop me from getting Jizhou! ”

Liu Yu's domineering words made Ren Hongchang's heart stir, her eyes were full of emotion, and she whispered in her mouth: "Husband, take the concubine to the bedroom, the concubine wants you to love your lover's family well!" ”

Liu Yu hugged this nephrite warm fragrance in his arms, laughed and said: "Call Zhiruo and Lihua, let's have a good 'rest' tonight, and send troops to 'Munoyuan' early tomorrow morning!" ”

###########################################################

After leaving Hanoi. The condition of the roads became very poor, and there were potholes everywhere. This made Liu Yu, who wanted to move quickly, very annoyed! The carriage that Liu Yu rode in was specially built, and there were 217 shock-absorbing springs of different sizes secretly made of "eight-forged steel", but it was a pity that no matter how powerful the shockproof ability was, it was helpless to face such a step-by-step road surface.

Originally, Liu Yu enjoyed pillowing on Fan Lihua's plumpness, which Liu Yu called the "second altitude", and closed his eyes to nourish his mind, but when Liu Yu was shocked and crooked by a pit for the nth time, his anger erupted in the irrepressible laughter of Ren Hongchang and Fan Lihua! Liu Yu stepped out of the carriage for the first time during the long-distance march and rode the horse that Zou Zhiruo brought for him on duty.

You said that you, Yuan Shao, are also the second largest force in the Han Dynasty, and you occupy Jizhou, the richest of the states under my rule, why can't you repair the roads in the following territories? Haven't you heard the saying "if you want to get rich, build roads first"? Liu Yu, who secretly complained, was very sympathetic to those businessmen who came and went with Yuan Shao and him, they were so enduring, they could still run a few times a month in this kind of road condition! It seems that next time we will have to collect some tariffs less as a sign of condolences. However, it seems that Jizhou will also become my sphere of influence after this military operation, will there be such a thing as "tariff" at that time?

After sulking all the way, two days later, the army approached Makinohara, a necessary place to enter Jizhou from Hanoi. In fact, the so-called must-go places are just because Hanoi has only such a dilapidated road to Jizhou, and as for other places, of course, you can also walk, but those places are either woods or mountains, and they can only be used by a few people, and there is no way to let a large army with baggage pass.

Just when Liu Yu and Fan Lihua were pointing out the scenery, Tai Shici, who was in charge of exploring the way, flew back. noticed his excited expression from afar, so when he came to Liu Yuma, Liu Yu asked directly, "What's wrong, have you found anything?" ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "Back to Xiangye, the last general found Yuan Shaojun's camp at the end of the Makino Plains in front!" ”

"Have you ever found out how many soldiers and horses there are? Who will the Lord be? ”

Tai Shi Ci retracted his smile with some embarrassment, and said loudly: "The last general was afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he didn't take a closer look, but the handsome flag in the camp was embroidered with the word 'Lu'!" ”

Lu? Could it be that Lu Bu, a stinky boy, really wants to block my 200,000 army here with his 50,000 cavalry? This idiot can't be so arrogant, right?! Liu Yu cursed Lu Bu in his heart, and at the same time ordered to find a place next to Muyeyuan to set up camp. Then he said to Tai Shici, who had been waiting for his order: "Ziyi, you continue to send out outposts and arrange some people to guard outside the camp!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Tai Shi Ci said loudly. Then he galloped to the 10,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters to arrange the task.

In this era, as long as there are conditions, the establishment of camps is basically based on local materials. After the broken trees were lifted out, someone immediately had someone remove the leaves and branches for them, and then hand over the sappers to hammer the wooden pillars that still retained their bark one by one on the ground, and the part that entered the ground was at least three feet long, which was naturally to prevent the situation of rushing to the camp.

Look at it all. Liu Yu secretly sighed that if he wanted to put it aside in the future, he, the person who ordered the destruction of the forest, would definitely be invited to tea by the forestry and public security departments! Although Liu Yu also knows that the tree content in this era is huge. Moreover, this will also enhance the view of the camp and prevent fire, not to mention that the next time these trees are encamped, the extra part will be split into firewood for cooking and heating, and there will be no waste of natural resources.

But when Liu Yu thought of the living environment of later generations. He still made up his mind. It is necessary to set off a national education campaign to love nature and protect the living environment within his sphere of influence! Even if people don't understand, Liu Yu will insist on going his own way! And at the right time, Liu Yu will also carry out the campaign of afforestation. Liu Yu wants to turn the future Han Kingdom into a country of vegetation, and Liu Yu wants the future Han Kingdom to have no more "Loess Plateau" and no more "Yellow River"!

Just when Liu Yu was excited about his great ideals, Zou Zhiruo approached Liu Yu and said softly: "Husband, the handsome tent has been set up. Guo Jiajun is also waiting for you with all the generals and adults! ”

Liu Yu retracted his thoughts and followed her into the handsome tent that was already full of people.

"Weichen (the last general) see Xiangye!" Under the leadership of Guo Jia, all the civil ministers and military generals bowed to Liu Yu.

"Let's all be exempt!" Liu Yu waved at them. sat on the only chair in the tent and said, "According to General Taishi's report, Yuan Shaojun's camp is ten miles away, just across the Muye Plain from us!" ”

Guo Jia came out and asked: "Xiangye, I don't know if General Taishi said how many men and horses Yuan Shaojun has, and who are the leaders of the army?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head and replied, "The specific information Ziyi is still investigating, and we won't know until later!" ”

Just when Guo Jia frowned and wanted to ask what to write again, Luo Li'er, who was on guard in the tent, walked in and reported: "Xiangye, General Taishi is back!" ”

Liu Yu was overjoyed and said, "Call him closely!" ”

"Xiangye, Lord Guo, Yuan Shaojun has left the camp and marched towards our army." After Tai Shici walked into the big tent, he saluted Liu Yu excitedly, and said impatiently.

"Oh?" Liu Yu smiled at him and asked, "Have you ever found out detailed information this time?" ”

Tai Shi Ci coughed twice in embarrassment, and then said with a slightly red face: "The last general has captured a few Yuan Shaojun's probe horses, and it has been found that there are about 50,000 cavalry with bows and knives in the enemy village, and the leading generals are Lu Bu and Wei Xu and Song Xian among the three wolf generals under his command. The 40,000 cavalry led by Lu Bu and Song Xian marched to our army this time, while Wei Xu led the remaining 10,000 cavalry to guard the camp! ”

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the generals in the tent who showed the same excitement as Tai Shici, and then looked at Guo Jia and Fa Zheng and other strategists with indifferent smiles, and decided: "Since Lu Bu wants to weigh us without measuring his strength, then let's not be polite, let's go teach him a lesson!" ”

After listening to Liu Yu's words, all the generals in the tent showed a look of eagerness to try, and they all spoke out to ask for battle. Liu Yu thought for a while, Lu Bu brought 40,000 cavalry to challenge this time was just a tentative tactic, and he would definitely not be stupid enough to fight to the death with Liu Yu's army of nearly 200,000 with those 50,000 people. Therefore, there should be no danger, it is better to focus on training newcomers, so that they can adapt to the real battlefield as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Liu Yu immediately said solemnly: "Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Li Yan, Xu Sheng, and Meng Da listen to orders. ”

The nine people who were named by Liu Yu came out of the queue when they heard the words, and responded in unison: "The end will be." ”

Among these nine people, except for Zhao Yun, he remained calm. The other eight had ecstatic expressions on their faces. Alas, it is understandable for you to say that Wei Yan and Chen Zhi have such expressions on the six of them who have never been on the battlefield, but you Huang Xu and Tai Shici are both "veterans" who have been tested by war for a long time. Why are you still so breathless?!

Liu Yu shook his head secretly, first calmed them down with a cold look, and then said: "This time, the nine of you will fight with the soldiers and horses of each of your headquarters, and we will play our prestige, but we will not be beaten by Lu Bu, but instead fulfill the prestige of the 'wolf cavalry' that he personally trained!" ”

Nine majestic young people responded loudly: "The last general will never live up to the expectations of the prime minister!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu appeared in front of the 40,000 wolf cavalry with the military generals and 100,000 troops in the army. As far as the eye can see, the enemy forces are in a neat array. The momentum is magnificent, showing good military qualities, and it does not seem to be so easy to deal with. At the front of the battle was an extremely handsome man. He rode on a very strong red horse, dressed in an extremely ornate armor, and held an extremely sharp halberd. The whole gives people a kind of extravagant, but murderous momentum. Go without saying. This person is none other than Lu Bu.

See the appearance of enemy troops. Lu Bu laughed wildly and said, "Where is your Grand Master Liu, did you hide in fear when you heard that I Lu Bu was coming?" Hahaha, I actually sent a few milky little dolls to send them to death, it seems that there is really no one in the army! The tens of thousands of soldiers behind him laughed loudly when they heard this.

Liu Yu, who was hidden in the crowd, was dumbfounded by Lu Bu's madness, but he didn't expect that he hadn't learned a lesson at all, and he was still so arrogant.

After listening to Lu Bu's insult to Liu Yu, several young generals who participated in the battle were full of indignation. After winning the consent of Zhao Yun. Wei Yan flicked the thick-backed long-handled knife in his hand and rode out alone. shouted loudly: "Ignorant dog thief, you dare to speak out, see me take your dog's life." ”

Wei Yan's voice was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and some of the mounts on both sides stood up. Liu Yu nodded secretly, feeling that he had a great talent for practicing "Lion's Roar", and he was thinking about whether to give him some special training, so that he could also have Zhang Fei's ability to "roar and retreat millions of soldiers......

After Lu Bu carefully looked Wei Yan up and down, he nodded slightly, and asked coldly, "Who is here?" ”

Wei Yan held his head high and said with great momentum: "I am the former pioneer officer of the Xiangye Throne, and Wei Yan is also the commander of the cavalry." The thief Lu Bu is coming to fight with a certain family for 300 rounds, and a certain family wants you to know if there is no one in Xiangye's army! ”

Lu Bu, who was scolded as a "thief", frowned slightly in annoyance, and said coldly: "Although your martial arts are good, it is not worth taking action yourself!" ”

Wei Yan, who felt that he was being despised by others, said angrily: "Don't be ashamed! Come and die! ”

Lu Bu glanced at Liu Yujun's lineup disappretently, not knowing if he was observing the flaws in the formation, or looking for Liu Yu, the enemy of life and death that he hated so much!

Wei Yan saw that Lu Bu ignored him, and immediately became angry, although he would not go to the enemy camp alone like Liu Yu before, but he also scolded there regardless of his identity. The fluency of his speech and the viciousness of his semantics are truly breathtaking! Is this really the famous Shu Han general in history who "attacked surprisingly and followed cautiously"?

After ten minutes of abuse, Lu Bu, who had never put him in his eyes, finally couldn't help it, and yelled at him, "Stop"!

Although he was yelled at, Wei Yan was not annoyed at all, but said with a smile: "If you want your grandfather to shut up, grandson, you should come over in person, what's the use of just talking there?" ”

Lu Bu snorted heavily, and was about to send his horse out, when a rough looking general next to him with a cyan birthmark the size of a copper coin under his chin stopped him and said: "General, such an unknown person must be shot by you, that is too much to promote him, this battle is better for the last general to fight on your behalf!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and advised: "Although this person is an unknown person, I think his strength is not below you, you must be careful to deal with it!" ”

The general's expression was solemn, he nodded yes, and then slapped his horse out of the battle, and shouted at Wei Yan, who was still shouting in the middle of the two armies: "The national thief is rampant, see that General Ben is coming to take your life!" ”

Wei Yan glanced at him, put on a disdainful expression and asked, "Come and get your name!" ”

The general raised his sword and rode towards Wei Yan, and replied with a cruel smile: "Remember, it was the 'Wolf Cavalry' green wolf general Song Xian who took your dog's life!" As he spoke, the black iron broadsword in his hand fell. (To be continued.) )
