Chapter 877: Liu Bei sees hope

There are 3,000 soldiers in the counties to guard it, which is nothing more than this in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.

But some of the soldiers who have experienced the war against the Xuzhou army are clear, want to get victory from the hands of the Xuzhou army, it is not a simple matter, the Xuzhou army is not the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou, their training is extremely strict, and the bravery shown in the war is also shocking to the enemy, especially after the two sides are short-handed, it is too difficult to get benefits from the hands of the Xuzhou army.

The Xuzhou army was able to win victories from wars again and again, and made the enemy pay heavy prices again and again, relying on its strong strength and tenacious combat style.

In such a critical situation in Xuzhou in the past, the Qingzhou army's offensive still failed to succeed, but suffered the price of defeat, if it were not for Liu Bei's certain means, it would be a difficult thing to stabilize his position in the plain.

The conduct of the war is a great challenge for the princes, and if one of the princes cannot win the war, it will have more influence on the rule.

If the officers and men in the army cannot win the battle, they will have certain doubts about the monarch's ability, and even when facing the monarch's orders, they will not obey the monarch's words as before, and even resist the monarch's orders.

At this time, the Qingzhou Army occupied an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and when attacking the counties, it was also high-spirited.

After Liu Bei inspected the army, he saw this situation and nodded with satisfaction, the officers and men in the army have such an attitude towards the war, which is of great help to the subsequent war, even though the Xuzhou army is strong, the current Qingzhou army occupies the advantage in terms of strength, and after the city gate is opened, it will be a stormy attack to meet Lu Bu.

It is very difficult for Lu Bu to win the war under such circumstances.

In the past, the Qingzhou Army suffered losses in the hands of the Xuzhou Army, such a thing was naturally remembered by Liu Bei, and now that the opportunity has come, Liu Bei will not give up easily, and Liu Bei is still happy to do such a thing as beating the water dogs.

Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is too bad, if you attack Lu Bu, not only will you not have the burden of reputation, but you will have a louder reputation among the princes, which is also the happiest place for some princes when they attack Lu Bu, it is also a war, and there are too many things that can be obtained from Lu Bu.

This is also a very normal thing, when Lu Bu did not have a resounding reputation among the princes, and his past actions could not be recognized by more literati, some of his actions may bring scolding from literati.

When more literati make such a choice, it will have a lot of influence on Lu Bu's development.

In fact, the pressure that Lu Bu endured in the process of development is beyond the imagination of ordinary princes, not to mention the rest, just the scolding of literati, which is not something that ordinary princes can bear.

But in such a situation, Lu Bu can only bear it silently, even if these literati are scolded, can Lu Bu still kill them all.

Besides, the literati were more scolded under the rule of other princes, and Lu Bu had no better way to deal with this, so he could only let it go, and after gradually getting used to it, it would be fine.

If the same thing were put on half of the princes, I am afraid that they would have been anxious for a long time, and the influence of the reputation of the must-have on one of the princes is too great, and without a loud reputation, it is impossible to recruit more literati.

But this kind of thing is different when it comes to Lu Bu, the scolding of these literati will not have much impact on Lu Bu, although the officials under his rule will have doubts in it, in the face of Lu Bu's strong strength, what the officials under his rule need to do is to obey, not disobey Lu Bu's orders.

When the war was going on, Lü Bu was able to lead the generals and soldiers of the army to win the war, and let the invading enemy army bear the price of defeat, and Lü Bu's achievements in this regard alone were enough to make more princes look sideways.

While they scolded Lu Bu, they had to consider the strong combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army, why Lu Bu could improve his prestige among the princes to a greater extent after the war, it was because of the strong combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army, when the strength of a prince was terrifying, even if the prince had actions against the people's will, they did not dare to act rashly.

However, this war is a good opportunity for the Qingzhou army, all along, Liu Bei wants to have something to do, in the past, if he attacked Xuzhou, not only did not succeed, but ended in failure, such a thing is a big blow to Liu Bei.

Now attacking Xuzhou again, it is the opportunity to be ashamed of the past, as long as you can have more achievements when attacking Xuzhou, and obtain more cities, materials and money, Liu Bei will be more smooth in the future development.

Compared with Lu Bu, Liu Bei's reputation is naturally very good, and if he gains a foothold in Xuzhou, it will not be a problem at all.

Xuzhou is rich, and after Lu Bu's previous training, the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers in the army is extremely strong, which is a very happy thing for the princes in charge of Xuzhou.

The family in Xuzhou will definitely have a lot of welcome for his arrival, who makes Liu Bei's reputation much better than Lu Bu.

All this is Liu Bei's imagination, the key is how to win the battle against the Xuzhou army, and how to drive the Xuzhou army out of the counties.

The cooperation of the Zhu family made Liu Bei see hope in this regard.

That night, the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei summoned important generals in the army to come to discuss, this attack on the counties, is a good start for the princes' army to attack Xuzhou, as long as it is successful, it will definitely shake the various families in Xuzhou, and then there will be more families who choose to stay away from Lu Bu, they will not become Lu Bu's strength against other princes.

Such a situation will bring about Lu Bu's defeat on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei was excited, if Lu Bu's defeat was caused by the success of his own troops and horses to attack the counties, then his Liu Bei's reputation would be even louder in the world.

As for the attack on Xuzhou, the alliance between the princes is a bit despicable, and it is nothing, the princes attacked Xuzhou for the stability of the Han Dynasty, in order to eradicate the traitor, and let the traitor pay the corresponding price for his previous actions.
