Chapter 30 It's not that I'm afraid of death, but that I'm really going to die
"This assassin doesn't bother to taunt you, it's worse than a woman, it's boring. Seeing that you are also a single life, there is no woman around, forget it. Don't mention money and food, let's talk about training elite soldiers, this matter will be easier. The soldiers and horses in Guangyang County are not enough for a while, so you will not take the soldiers and horses of Guangyang to sweep the thieves nearby, and collect those thieves who occupy the mountains as kings, and enrich the number, it is really not good, then you will go to other counties to grab some soldiers and horses. Wrong, Youzhou is all from this history, it is borrowed, borrowed some soldiers and horses to make up, only 50,000 elite soldiers, can it be regarded as a thing? ”
Liu Bei still thought that Cheng Yuanzhi was so skilled, it turned out that to solve the problem of money and food, he relied on the rich woman to support him, and he ate soft rice with a little white face.
Training is even more ridiculous, encircling and suppressing bandits, sweeping away the rogues, and it is still a bit desirable, but you can go to grab the soldiers and horses of other county towns, to put it bluntly, it is an attack, capture the other party as a prisoner, and then persuade the other party to surrender to become their own soldiers and horses, is this kind of thing that friendly troops can do?
However, now that Cheng Yuanzhi has obtained the edict of the appointment of the Assassin by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, Youzhou is indeed his homeland, and he can recruit soldiers if he wants to, and he can call them if he wants to. A military order went down, and the soldiers and horses of all counties in Youzhou were gathered, and there were still 50,000.
Of course, the premise is that the county guards of each county recognize Cheng Yuanzhi's assassination history and obey military orders.
In the eyes of the counties of Youzhou, Guangyang County is now a den of thieves, a den of thieves of the Yellow Turban. It is no different from the thief who falls into the grass and occupies the mountain as the king.
"The last general has been taught. This will go down to make preparations, and we must complete the requirements of the assassination as soon as possible. "Liu Bei doesn't care, he is just a captive general, and he is not in charge of internal affairs. Since Cheng Yuanzhi has given a solution, let's listen to Cheng Yuanzhi.
Looking for a woman to ask for money and food, Cheng Yuanzhi can also think of it. Just do it, Cheng Yuanzhi's wife who just returned from captivity will know whether she can get the money and food.
The matter of soldiers and horses, Cheng Yuanzhi is back, in the name of assassination, it is still somewhat possible to go to the counties of Youzhou to requisition some soldiers and horses, you can give it a try.
Feeling Liu Bei's impatience, Cheng Yuanzhi was so angry that his facial features were on fire, as a assassin history, Corporal Lixian taught you, but he didn't listen carefully, and wanted to 'skip class', he suddenly became irritable, decided to send troops, and shouted:
"This thorn history is annoyed when he looks at you, you have to prepare for everything, and when the preparations come, the daylilies are cold. Having said it, can't you learn how to learn the history of assassination? Don't procrastinate, walk the course. said that if you want to buy an official, you will buy an official immediately, and if you say that you want to grab soldiers, then you will go to grab soldiers, or do you have to procrastinate and prepare? ”
"To be an official is to be like an official, don't want a corpse vegetarian meal, you have to pay attention to efficiency, the people of the whole city are looking at you, the official position of this assassin is not to raise you moths. Tomorrow is set for tomorrow. The three of you, the three generals, each ordered 500 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, and they attacked Zhuo County for Ben Thorn Shiqi, and took Zhuo County within ten days, and Ben Thorn Shi wanted to move the county guard to Zhuo County. Guangyang County, good is good, it is always too small, and it can't give full play to the talent of this assassin history. ”
Cheng Yuanzhi is not suspicious of employing people, suspects are not needed, just after the official sealing, he led troops to Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, each of which was five hundred, and there was no reason why the three were miscellaneous generals.
Heroes cherish heroes, and reuse is real, and there are actions, not just words.
Before Liu Bei, he just felt bitter and aggrieved, but now Liu Bei, his blood pressure has soared, and a mouthful of old blood is blocking his chest, and he can't breathe.
500 soldiers and horses per person, and the soldiers are divided into three ways?
This is to send food to Zhuojun, even if you want to seek death, you can't seek death in this way, it's too miserable.
Cheng Yuanzhi doesn't know about Zhuo County, and Liu Bei is quite clear about the situation and details of Zhuo County. Zhuojun can become the core of Youzhou, not because of its excellent location, but because it is very powerful, the people are still martial, and almost everyone is a soldier.
The most important thing is that the county guard of Zhuo County is also a capable person, and his strength is not bad, and there are twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses in the entire Zhuo County.
At that time, I heard that Guangyang County was in an emergency, and there were yellow turban thieves attacking, and the county guard of Zhuo County didn't care about it, otherwise he would not have sent Zou Jing, who was half of his body almost into the loess, to come to encircle and suppress.
Even the soldiers and horses, plus the townsmen of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are only 500 soldiers and horses. There are soldiers in Zhuo County, in addition to the soldiers and horses to guard Zhuo County, there are also people who feel that the Yellow Turban thieves are just a rabble and not worth shooting.
No, I can't go down, Liu Bei feels that I still have to persuade Cheng Yuanzhi to develop well in Guangyang County, and when Zhuo County really sends troops to attack, don't stop people from quelling the rebellion and surrender directly, even if the official position of the assassin can't be kept, the position of the miscellaneous general is still stable.
Liu Bei was thinking about how to pour cold water, and seeing that Cheng Yuanzhi was already yawning again and again, he had no choice but to tell him bluntly, hoping to dispel Cheng Yuanzhi's decision, and persuaded:
"Assassin history, Guangyang County has just gone through several major battles, and the soldiers are tired and tired, and they can barely scrape together 1,500 soldiers and horses, which is too laborious and costly. Besides, Zhuojun is not easy to attack. If the county guard of Zhuojun can obey the order of the assassin and go out of the city to surrender, it will be fine. If the other party doesn't listen and really starts, there will be 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses in Zhuo County. ”
"Zhuojun is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the grain and grass are abundant, but these are not the most important. The most important thing is the county guard of Zhuo County, named Gongsun Zhan, is the classmate of the last general, this person has a strong ability to command the army, and there is a cavalry under his command, called the white horse Yicong, all white horses and white armor, come and go like the wind, all bow and horse skillful, the last general and others are not afraid of death, but they will really die. ”
In order to save his life, Liu Bei did not hesitate to reveal the old background of the Zhuojun county guard to Cheng Yuanzhi.
In fact, Liu Bei often claims to be a relative of the Han family, but it is a distant relative, and few people recognize it, but Gongsun Chan is the son-in-law of the Gongsun family. The Gongsun family has been entrenched in Youzhou for many years and is a powerful family.
Liu Bei's luck is very bad, except for the luck of meeting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his life, he has not encountered any good things. For example, when he was begging for a book, he apprenticed to Lu Zhi, but Lu Zhi didn't recognize Liu Bei's identity, and he thought that Liu Bei was a shoe seller, so he didn't let Liu Bei enter the door to listen to the class, so he could only stand outside the door and listen.
Of course, Gongsun Chan also couldn't enter the gate of the Great Confucian Lu Zhi. But Gongsun Chan was lucky to be favored by the previous Zhuojun county guard and became the son-in-law of the previous county guard. As soon as the previous county guard died, the post of county guard naturally fell into the hands of Gongsun Chan under the operation of the Gongsun family.
Liu Bei took Xiang Yong to sign up for the army, and it was with the help of his classmate Gongsun Zan that he was barely not condemned as a thief, but a Xiang Yong Righteous Army, leading the troops to kill the Yellow Turban Army and make meritorious contributions. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei now has to be a thief, and Cheng Yuanzhi also wants Liu Bei to lead the troops to besiege his old classmate Gongsun Zhan, which is called borrowing soldiers, but in fact robbing soldiers.
