"The general is lonely in the north with strong soldiers and horses, and he has made great efforts to govern Xianbei in the north, protecting the 27 countries and passing through the Western Regions, and making immortal feats. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Ask Yuan Valve to destroy Gongsun, respect the name of Liu Bo'an in the past and not invade an inch of land in Youzhou, a weapon of heroes! As for the land of Xu and Yu, there is no owner, and the court is not respected, and the general accepts it with tenderness, and if he wants to preach and defend the people, it is understandable to raise a large army and attack. Liu Bei stood up awe-inspiringly, looked at Ma Yue with blazing eyes, and was not afraid of the Liangguo warrior who clasped the hilt of the sword behind him, and said word by word: "However, today, the honorable driver first drove Xu Gongming's strong troops into Xuzhou without declaring a war, and the people of Xuzhou resisted with one heart, and they were all defeated under the iron hooves of Liangguo, and the heart of resistance is increasing day by day, do you respect and kill everyone who resists you?" ”

Liu Bei's eyebrows were upright, and he raised a finger and said: "This is one of them, His Royal Highness King Liang is angry with personal enmity, forcing the gentry in Xuzhou to defend themselves and resist, and making enemies for no reason to oppress people. ”

Then, he respected and made the proud soldiers of Gan Xingba out of Tongguan and demonstrated under the city of Luodu, shocking hundreds of officials and frightening His Majesty. I can't help but ask, is the man sitting on the throne of King Liang still as loyal to the Han in his heart as he was when he fought bloodily twenty years ago? ”

"Poof!"

Before Liu Bei's words fell, the Liangguo warriors who were on the left and right abruptly pulled out their blades, and the clear sound of the blades coming out of the sheath made people's hearts furious, but Liu Bei did not make a move, as if all this had been expected by him, and looked at Ma Yue with his neck and asked firmly: "Is it?" ”

Ma Yue chuckled silently, it seemed that only the muscles on his face moved, he stroked his palms and pressed down on the warriors, waved his hand to Liu Bei and said, "Please continue." ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, he thought that Ma Yue would be angry, and he also thought that Ma Yue would ask him to leave seriously at all, but he never thought that Ma Yue would calmly ask him to continue.

But the accident is unexpected, Liu Bei still arched his hand and continued: "If the dispute is gradually clear today, the situation is almost a confrontation between Liangguo and Jiangdong, Liangguo originated from the northwest and swept the four northern states, and the limelight is strong; Jiangdong is located in the southeast, many soldiers will be good at fighting the people, and the Yangtze River is dangerous and the Lingnan barbarians are attached, and I think that if the king of Liang and Jiangdong have a full-scale war at this time, the victory or defeat is still between five and five. The place of Xuzhou is thousands of miles, among which the mountains and rivers are many dangerous, and it is located in the north of the river. The king of Liang wanted to send troops to Xu, whether it was Jinggi in Liangguo or Qingzhou in Jizhou, they were hundreds to thousands of miles away, but Jiangdong was not; If the Sun clan sends troops to Xuzhou, he only needs to cross the river with warships to invade the coast of Guangling County, which is the reason why Jiangdong is strong and gentle towards Xuzhou! ”

"Now that you have a large army to fight in Xu, you have disturbed the people of Xuzhou and migrated south to the rule of the Sun family...... If it continues, the Sun family will see that the Liang Kingdom has lost the hearts of the people in Xuzhou, and will definitely send troops into Xuzhou to compete with you, and determine the ownership of Xuzhou. If you win, the people of Xuzhou will resist one after another, how long will it take and how much effort will it take to make this land return to you? On the contrary, if you lose the war, you will never lose the opportunity to rule Xuzhou. Compare the personal feud of one person with a piece of land that is not dilapidated relative to other states, which is more important? ”

After that, Liu Bei sat opposite Ma Yue again, lowered his head and quietly drank a statue of Liangzhou wine, waiting for Ma Yue's reply.

"Ugh." Ma Yue was stunned for a long time after hearing this, then shook his head and smiled, and said loudly: "Xuande, who invited you to be a lobbyist?" ”

"Xuzhou Chen Yuanlong."

Chen Yuanlong is Chen Deng, Ma Yue knew this name, nodded slowly, and said to Liu Bei: "If he can invite you out, it can be regarded as finding the right person." ”

"So, Your Highness plans to collect troops?" Liu Bei's face was a little happy, and he raised his hand to Ma Yue and said: "The people of Xuzhou are not your enemies, but the Sun family who is eyeing Jiangdong is." ”

"I didn't say that I was going to collect troops, after listening to Xuande's words, I think that maybe the troops were sent too hastily this time, but it was obviously too late to collect troops at this time." Ma Yue condensed, and suddenly asked Liu Bei solemnly: "Xuande, let me ask you something, are you my friend?" ”

Liu Bei listened to the first half of the sentence, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, this is completely playing the piano to the cow! is reasonable, the pros and cons of right and wrong are stated cleanly, but Ma Yue is a master who does not enter the firewood. Hearing the second half of the sentence, Liu Bei was even more stunned, is it useful to ask this kind of thing at this time? What's more, Liu Bei really felt that he and Ma Yue were friends, more or less knowing, and they had known each other more than 20 years ago.

But they haven't had a close relationship for more than 20 years, and they haven't moved around much, emotionally speaking, they are old friends, but they can't be friends.

As for political opinions, if Liu Bei and Ma Yue were still in the same boat before the founding of the Liang State, Ma Yue was very helpful to him at that time, and he was very willing to be with Ma Yue at that time. But as the relationship between the imperial court and the Liang State froze later, the emperor's dislike for the Liang King and the Liang State's embezzlement of Sanfu and the killing of the Yuan clan in Sizhou and Jingzhou, after a series of things spread throughout Sizhou and Jingzhou, when Liu Bei remembered this name from his head, although he was still grateful, he was not so close.

"His Royal Highness King Liang, I'm afraid I don't dare to call him a friend of His Highness." Liu Bei lowered his head, forced himself not to look at Ma Yue's eyes that were a little disappointed, lowered his head and said, "If you are with you...... I am afraid that I will not have the face to see Senior Brother Gongsun after death. ”

Now Ma Yue, who is sitting opposite him, doesn't seem to remember, but Liu Bei still remembers clearly, Gongsun Chan died at the hands of Ma Yue, and the head was sent to Luoyang to hang in the city for more than ten days.

Ma Yue shrugged his shoulders silently, quickly hid the trace of disappointment in his eyes, and raised his hand indifferently and said, "Since you are not a friend, then Xuande's words are a request." ”

Liang has 500,000 soldiers, and the significance of Xuzhou to Ma Yue has long been less important than the former merger of state, Yizhou, and Jizhou, especially after Du Jibing took Qingzhou bloodless and brought him a million young people, Liangguo's standing elite soldiers broke through the 700,000 mark in one go, and both population and region are no longer so important in the eyes of Ma Yue today.

It is precisely because of this that the order to attack Xuzhou was issued so easily, because no matter whether it is won or lost, it is not a loss, in fact, strategically speaking, Ma Yue is even more inclined to Liu Bei's idea of taking warning, Jiangdong soldiers and horses landed in Xuzhou, making the land of Xuzhou the main battlefield.

Even if he obtains Xuzhou, Ma Yue will not develop on this land, and he has no intention of building Xuzhou into a solid foundation at all.

What is Xuzhou? The Central Plains is the only prefecture adjacent to the Yangtze River other than Qingzhou. If he does a very good job in the defense of Xuzhou, it will inevitably make Jiangdong shrink the defense line and stick to the Yangtze River, and whoever holds the water right at that time will have the weight of victory or defeat in the war.

Liang Guo must be on the disadvantaged side of the competition, and the several states in his hands are all places where rivers are lacking, and the most abundant sergeant in those places has the necessary skill of landlubbers.

What did he take to fight with Jiangdong on the Yangtze River? Could it be like Dong Zhuo's several turnaround battles in Jizhou, covering the river with crude oil that is difficult to exploit, hoping to burn all the warships in Jiangdong with a fire?

That's so unrealistic.

Ma Yue's plan was to lure the main army of the Jiangdong people to the beautiful land of Xuzhou, and on land, the Liangguo Iron Cavalry was the only ruler!

Because of this, he invested more than 30,000 troops in Xuzhou, and began to vigorously integrate Qingzhou soldiers and horses, in the future war with the Jiangdong Army, these Qingzhou men will be the main force on the battlefield.

Tearing the main force of Jiangdong, arousing the anger of Sun's father and son, so that more than half of the soldiers and horses along the Yangtze River were thrown into Xuzhou, once the time was ripe, the Qingzhou Guan army from the north to the south, and Dong Zhuo's department advancing from the southwest to the east, if they could unite with the Jingzhou pastor in front of them, they would not be able to restrain the Jiangdong war that the Sun family had been operating for 20 years!

Now that Ma Yue has squeezed Sun, if Xuzhou is not taken, Jiangdong can only be trapped in the southeast and wait for the decisive battle to come.

Ma Yue has been against Sun Jian for so many years, and he knows very well that with Sun Jian's character, he can't stand such a trapped beast fight, and he will definitely find a way to pierce the cage he assigned to him.

It's like fighting a caged tiger, Ma Yue is reluctant to jump into the cage and fight Sun Jian because it would be too dangerous. But if the cage door is opened, at least for a short time before the tiger is out of the cage, the tiger can poke out half of his body and he can deliver a head-on blow...... At that time, the competition was whether Ma Yue's strength was strong enough, and whether he could knock the tiger unconscious.

If the Sun clan joins the Xuzhou battlefield, how many soldiers he transports from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, how many coffins the Ma clan of Liangguo will send him, so that he can taste his own strength!

"Xuande, it's better to make an exchange, and I won't let you return in vain. I will send a message to Xu Gongming that the soldiers and horses of the Liang State will not leave Langya County, and this time is fifteen years before Jian'an, which means that Zang Ba has six months. At the same time, I will send a message to the people of Xuzhou that when the soldiers and horses of the Liang State come out of Langya, they will fight with him in the same number as Zang Ba's soldiers and horses, just like the battle in which he killed Pei Hui, to decide the winner and not pour out his anger on others, how about it? ”

Liu Bei's face was not happy, and he clearly heard the word Ma Yue said at the beginning, 'exchange'.

"So, what do you need to exchange for this result?" Liu Bei raised his hand to grind the bronze wine bottle, looked at Ma Yue and said, "Bei feels that there is nothing to give respect." ”

On the contrary, it was Liu Bei who Ma Yue looked at, not his territory, nor his prestige or his benevolence. The heart of benevolence and righteousness made Ma Yue look sideways 20 years ago, the land of Jingzhou made Ma Yue envious 15 years ago, and the name of benevolence made him break his heart ten years ago...... But none of these things seemed to be of much importance to Ma Yue now, and what he valued was Liu Bei's LinkedIn talent and the wisdom of his military division.

"In exchange, when the Jiangdong Army crosses the Yangtze River, I need the Jingzhou Army and the Liangguo Army to fight together, that's all."

"Then it's settled." Jiangdong is their common enemy, Liu Bei was happy to see this exchange, and immediately stretched out his hand and said: "A gentleman's word." ”

Ma Yue looked up to the sky and smiled, stretched out his arm and shook it with Liu Bei.

"It's hard to chase a horse!"
