Chapter 550: Expedition to Liaodong

Not surprisingly, Yuzhou Pingbo fell into the hands of Yuan Shu without surprise, and Cao Ren, who had been eyeing Yuzhou and stationed in Xuzhou, did not let go of this opportunity, and took the opportunity to occupy the Lu country in the two counties and four countries of Yuzhou.

Although Yuan Shu was very unhappy with this, in the face of Cao Ren, who completely controlled the Lu State and the whole army was waiting for him, and Guan Yu's army, which was waiting for the border between Yuzhou and Yanzhou, Yuan Shu could only temporarily extinguish the idea of starting a war and withdraw his troops to garrison.

After months of turmoil, calm has finally returned to the Central Plains, and a fragile alliance has been reached again. In order to balance Yuan Shu, Cao Cao finally took the initiative to find Liu Bei and allied with him. Liu Bei also understood the current situation in the Central Plains, and did not mind because of Cao Cao's previous calculations, and quickly agreed to the matter.

However, the situation in the Central Plains has gradually stabilized, but the situation in the North is on the verge of breaking out. Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao were busy preparing to become emperor, while laying out their armies on the border to recruit troops and collect food. And Yuan Shu didn't just watch the play from the sidelines, when the two sides confronted each other, Yuan Shu had already sent Zhang Liao, Sun Ce and Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu and Cao Xing, who had returned from Qingzhou, to Liaodong with 30,000 iron horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, ready to attack Gongsun Du in Liaodong.

As for Lu Bu, he had been "protected" by Gan Ning and rushed to Jiangdong, preparing to send him to Jinling Military Academy to train many grassroots generals for Yuan Shu. Lu Bu is not only strong in martial arts, but also has many years of fighting with foreign races in Bingzhou and has rich combat experience, so he is the most suitable for this position. After all, top-notch generals and handsome talents cannot be created by training, and in this era when the illiteracy rate of soldiers is ninety percent, although Yuan Shu has been strengthening the cultural construction in the army, it is impossible to train a group of high-quality officers within a few years.

The military academy is mainly for cultivating low-level generals, so it only needs to teach them martial arts and the method of leading troops in small groups, and Lu Bu is the best at these two aspects. Bingzhou has always had a small number of troops, mostly fighting in small groups of elite troops, and has a lot of experience in this area. As for those who are outstanding, they will naturally be promoted and transferred to the side of the main generals to teach in person. In this era, Yuan Shu can only do this, after all, there is not enough foundation, and it is impossible to establish a military academy like the Huangfu Military Academy during the Republic of China.

For Lu Bu, Yuan Shu was still very jealous, so he didn't dare to let him wander, and directly asked Gan Ning to "protect" him all the way to Jinling Military Academy. This military academy is next to the camp where Ji Ling trains soldiers outside Jinling City, and is heavily guarded, once a situation occurs, Ji Ling can lead the army to suppress Lu Bu, who is alone, with a wave of his hand.

"Gross!"

On the main battle ship where Zhou Yu and the others were heading to Liaodong, the sound of vomiting kept ringing out.

Sun Ce gloated on the side and watched Cao Xing lying on the wall of the boat and vomiting continuously, his face was sallow, and he looked like he was worse than dead.

"Renyeol, how is it, the wind and waves on this sea are not pleasant!" Sun Ce said with a smile.

"Gross!" Cao Xuan was unable to answer at all, vomiting one after another, and glanced at Sun Ce angrily.

Zhou Yu on the side couldn't see it, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at Sun Ce, and complained: "Bo Fu, you can be regarded as finding a sense of balance." When it was the first time I took a boat, you didn't seem to be much better than him! Who would have thought that Jiangdong's little overlord would be seasick! ”

was poked by Zhou Yu, Sun Ce snorted indignantly, but he was powerless to refute. Who would have thought that there was such a big difference between crossing the river by boat and sailing, Sun Ce was not prepared to be made a joke directly.

"This trip to Liaodong, I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Zhang Liao said inexplicably.

"With these two brothers here, how can this ship survive in peace?" Zhao Yun also said with a smile.

"I'm talking about after I get to Liaodong."

"What? Is Gongsun Du a difficult person to deal with? Zhao Yun frowned.

"Gongsun Du is not difficult to deal with, but the situation in Liaodong is very complicated and difficult to deal with!" Zhang Liao took out a piece of information from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yun.

"The terrain in eastern Liaodong is steep and the traffic is blocked, so it can be said that it is isolated from the world. Moreover, there are constant harassment by foreign races around, and the environment is extremely complicated, which is simply a hornet's nest. If we rush in like this, I'm afraid it will cause these crowds to attack us! Zhang Liao worried.

"No, it won't! These aliens have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, so it's good that we didn't look for them, and they can still knock on the door? Zhao Yun frowned.

"They don't have the guts, but Gongsun Du, the king of Liaodong, has it! He secretly has connections with Wuhuan and Goguryi, and once we send troops, I am afraid that they will jump over the wall and lure wolves into the house under their powerlessness. ”

"So what? As soon as the pot is served, these aliens dare to bully my big man, and the crime is unforgivable! Sun Ce also surrounded him at this time and said directly.

Zhou Yu directly ignored this goods, and said solemnly: "The nearly 500,000 people in Liaodong must not be ignored, and while attacking Gongsun Du, we must first cut off foreign reinforcements from other directions to avoid damage to Liaodong." ”

"But we only brought 50,000 troops, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to even take Liaodong, so how can we divide our troops?" Zhao Yun frowned.

"Therefore, this attack on Liaodong cannot be forced, although Gongsun Du has only 50,000 troops under his command, but if we defend the city to the death, there is no way for us, it is best to lure the snake out of the hole and annihilate it in the field." Zhou Yu said.

"But Gongsun Du is cautious, coupled with Yuan Shao's secret contact with him, I'm afraid that as long as we appear, he won't dare to come forward." Zhang Liao sighed lightly and said.

"The lord now occupies most of the world and the land of the seven states, and his power is too strong, the more cautious and difficult it is to deal with the enemies we face." Zhou Yu said: "If we want to complete the task beautifully this time, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. ”

"So what? It's man-made, with Gongjin and you giving advice, and Wenyuan, Zilong and I leading the troops to fight, what's so difficult to take down just one Liaodong? Sun Ce said with great confidence.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao and the three of them glanced at each other and smiled in unison.

"Yes, you finally said something useful. With the four of us here, if we can't even take a small Liaodong, then how can we entangle with Yuan Shao after that, and what else can we talk about? Zhou Yu smiled and said: "We are trusted and reused by the lord, and we should serve our lives and do our best." In this battle of Liaodong, our army will win. ”

"Gong Jin, you're wrong." Zhao Yun shook his head with a smile and said, "We are not four, but five, you see over there, General Renlie is dissatisfied." ”

Everyone followed the direction pointed by Zhao Yun, and saw that Cao Xing, who was sallow, was raising his right hand and looking at them unyieldingly.

"Haha!" Seeing this funny scene, everyone laughed loudly.
