The hundred officials below secretly complained.

What are you hesitating about at this time?

Your 20,000 cavalry can't come back if you don't go.

You are the emperor, can you not be so stingy, like Ye Qing, can't you be generous?

Give me some courage.

Glancing at the expectant gaze below.

Han Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Then drop 10,000 from the national capital...... 2,000 cavalry went to exterminate the enemy army that entered the country, and at the same time ordered it to obey the dispatch of the Eastern Army of Hou Zheng and participate in the war against the East China Sea Kingdom! ”

If you just go to deal with the cavalry of the Great Zhou, you will be a little stingy.

Go to the whole place, don't go around the East China Sea country, the front-line soldiers will definitely complain.

So Han Ran said quite reluctantly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

It's not easy, I finally pulled out 12,000 horses from the emperor's hands.

If there were more than 10,000 cavalry, it would be impossible to say that the East China Sea Kingdom would have been captured.

You must know that more than 10,000 cavalry can also be like the Great Zhou, come to a sabotage attack and kill all parts of the East China Sea.

cut off their food routes, and attack their hinterland.

However, the Korean royal family is stingy, and every generation of monarchs has inherited this problem of picking and searching.

…………

Qian County!

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao and others finally converged.

One of the two armies ravaged Chen County, and the other ravaged Runan County.

The officers and soldiers of the two counties of Korea and Chu Yue were bitter.

"Wenyuan, how is the harvest?"

Lu Bu arrived in Qian County before Zhang Liao and others.

Because of his short distance, he only needed to attack five counties and six cities.

Zhang Liao and the others went around in a big circle.

Zhang Liao said: "I robbed almost 30 million taels of silver, most of which were hidden, and the grain of the Chu Yue Kingdom that was burned should be two million stones, and the others are not worth mentioning." ”

"Tsk! This Chu Yue country is really rich. Lu Bu sighed:

"The money we stole from South Korea is only more than 10 million taels of silver, and the grain is only 780,000 stones, which is more than twice as bad as Chu Yueguo."

Zhang Liao also replied with deep understanding: "Chu Yue Kingdom is indeed rich, and the fields passed along the way are not only fertile, but also many.

The houses of the nobles of the Chu Yue Kingdom are also extremely luxurious, and the money and food in the official office are also abundant. ”

"Hehe, wait, these are our big in the future, Your Majesty is eloquent, none of these emperors of the Kwantung countries are your Majesty's opponents, they have no financial resources, and in the end they are just a miser." Lu Bu nagged disdainfully, and then spread out the map and said:

"Let's discuss the next route to march!"

Zhang Liao said: "Fengxian, what do you think?" ”

"I intend to re-enter South Korea, attack the grain and grass hoarding places in the rear of South Korea, and disrupt the deployment of South Korea's troops!"

Lu Bu pointed to Peng Cheng and said:

"Fighting South Korea, firstly, because there are fewer rivers on this side, it is easy for our cavalry to penetrate to the East China Sea Country.

Second, South Korea has fewer soldiers and horses, and there will be fewer masters to face.

Third, we can fight immediately, without having to take a detour.

Fourth, South Korea is poorer, and the family background is not as solid as Chu Yueguo, no matter how many soldiers and horses we kill, how much food we rob them, and how many cities we destroy, Chu Yueguo can recover quickly.

And South Korea is different, they don't have so much money to lose, and one point less is one point weaker, which is conducive to the future of my Great Zhou East out of Luoyang, swallowing its Yingchuan and Sanchuan County. ”

This is Lu Bu's analysis.

However, Zhang Liao did not immediately agree.

Rather, it refers to the capital of South Korea, Chenliu-gun, Chenliuseong-do:

"Fengxian, the distance from the Korean capital to the Liang State is not far, the Han royal family has cavalry, and it is 20,000 cavalry, if its cavalry is dispatched, convert the time, and the day after tomorrow will be able to kill Suiyang." Zhang Liao thought for a while and said:

"And Chu Yue has almost no cavalry, there are, only thousands, and they are not good at riding and fighting, and they can only lose against us.

On the Huaishui line, although there are many river networks, it is difficult to pass through, but it is still difficult to block us with the foot soldiers of Chu Yueguo.

Don't be one, we are here to help the East China Sea Kingdom, if we can destroy or delay the Chu Yue Kingdom's attack on the East China Sea Kingdom, then our expedition will be meaningful. ”

After speaking, Zhang Liao added: "Of course, I am just providing reference, and the specific line to take still needs to be subject to the information provided by Jinyiwei." ”

What Zhang Liao said is not unreasonable.

The risk on the southern front is a little greater, but the results are certainly brilliant.

If you can stir up the army of Chu Yue with 5,000 cavalry and stop Chu Yue's attack on the East China Sea, it will undoubtedly be a victory.

This served the purpose of the expedition.

Taking the northern route does not mean that everything will be fine.

South Korea may send out cavalry, which will chase and bite behind.

Referring to the intelligence, Lu Bu looked at Yuhuatian.

Yu Huatian really wanted to give these two people a roll of the eyes.

Can you give a unanimous opinion, and involve him, a person who is not in charge, every time.

He really wondered why Ye Qing had made the two of them a pair.

It's obviously not a good match.

However, as the nanny of the expeditionary force, Yuhuatian said: "According to Jinyiwei's intelligence, Chu Yueguo had a false transfer of troops a few days ago, the purpose was to paralyze the East China Sea Kingdom, so as to break through the Huaishui line, but the East China Sea Kingdom is not a fool and has not been fooled. ”

"Although Chu Yue and South Korea are allied, but the two countries are not close, in fact, they are wary of each other, South Korea attacked Pengcheng, Chu Yue captured Pi, and there is a middle ground between Pengcheng and Xiapi.

And Lu County happens to be there, and this city is currently not attacked by the armies of the two countries, and if we want to cross the river, we can pass from here. ”

According to the meaning of Yuhuatian, there is a gap between Shangpei County and Xiapei County that can be drilled.

Lu Bu asked: "Let's talk about South Korea's main force and grain and grass!" ”

Yu Huatian thought for a while and said: "The main force of the Han army is 200,000 in Xiao County, and the main force of the East China Sea State is 100,000 besieging Pengcheng on three sides!"

The direction of its grain road is Xiaoxian, Heqiu, and Xiayi. Among them, Xiaoxian and Xiayi should be the places where grain and grass are hoarded and transferred.

Xiao County is the nearest Korean town to besiege Pengcheng, and Xiayi is connected to the grain and grass of Liang County, Chenliu and Chen County in the west, and Jiyin, Shanyang and Rencheng in the north. ”

"Then go to attack Xiao County first, lay down the city, and then enter the East China Sea Kingdom to the east." Lu Budao:

"At the same time, send a team of people, disguised as a large army, to threaten the rear of Chu Yueguo's army from the eastern front, and then cross the border from Lu County.

Zhang Liao said: "You won't divide the troops again, the front line is not as good as the rear." ”

"No, send my lieutenant general, eight hundred people are enough, the main thing is to contain, day and night, bring more torches, the people of Chu Yue Kingdom can't tell the imaginary number, there is no need to fight this way, just go to Lu County as soon as possible to get in touch with the East China Sea Country and enhance their morale!"

"So, it's okay." Zhang Liao has no opinion.

The three of them discussed some more details.

The next day, after waiting for the nearby Jinyi guards to deliver the information, the army moved eastward, passing through two prefectures, and directly attacked Seongsang County, the capital of Sangpae County in South Korea.

However, it was not defeated, because there were really many defenders in the city, with 10,000 soldiers.

It is also to prevent the East China Sea Kingdom from coming to sneak attack.

Failing to take advantage, Lü Bu asked the deputy general to continue eastward with 800 cavalry and go to the rear of the Chu Yue army to make trouble.

Then he and Zhang Liao led 4,000 cavalry to the north to attack Xiao County.
