Chapter 484: Qingzhou Sends Troops
Linzi, Qingzhou.
Liu Bei was wearing Rong armor, with a pair of male and female double-strand swords hanging from his waist, and walked slowly forward. Behind Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici followed closely, and Sun Qian also followed the three.
At this time, 20,000 soldiers of Liu Bei's army had already gathered outside Linzi City, which was also all the troops that Liu Bei could handle now, after all, although Qingzhou had a large population, but when it was ravaged by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban for a long time, Liu Bei could not afford to raise many soldiers and horses. Excluding the soldiers and horses under Bohaiguan Yu and the soldiers and horses arranged in Xuzhou, the 20,000 army is the largest number of soldiers and horses that Liu Bei can mobilize now.
However, although the number may not be very large, the 20,000 troops were all the original Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and were later trained into an army by Liu Bei's orders.
Looking at the 20,000 army in front of him, Liu Bei felt that Sun Gan beside him had a different complexion, and immediately asked, "Gongyou, what's wrong?" ”
Sun Gan's eyes also focused on the 20,000 Liu Beijun soldiers in front of them at this time, and then he sighed for some reason, and said: "Lord, although the chances of winning in Jizhou are extremely high, my subordinates always feel that there will be some bad things happening. ”
After listening to Sun Gan's words, Liu Bei did not dispel the idea of sending troops, and now that the 20,000 army has been gathered, it is already ready to be sent and has to be sent. At this time, unless there is some natural bad omen, it is impossible not to send troops.
Liu Bei said: "Gongyou, you are too worried, this time with Brother Bogui to attack Jizhou, in order to defeat Yuan Shao, with the strength of Bogui and me, although Yuan Shao's lineup is not weak, but the side with a high chance of winning is still us." Moreover, according to the report from the secret agent, Yuan Shao has begun to prepare to attack Bohai and Youzhou, and you also know that in the current world, if we don't take the initiative to attack, the final result can only be a fall. ”
Looking at the sky in the distance, Liu Bei said again: "Since we have already embarked on this road, then we have no other choice but to move forward, and we must move as fast as possible, otherwise, as long as we take a little slower, we will never be able to catch up, and we can only watch what we dream of falling into the hands of others." ”
At this time, Liu Bei was already unabashedly ambitious, and he Liu Bei was also a member of the Han family, and the blood flowing in his body was in the same vein as the current Son of Heaven Liu Xiena. Since the Son of Heaven has no virtue, he Liu Bei can also sit in that position and save the Han Dynasty, so that the 400-year-old Han foundation can continue.
And now Liu Bei has begun to not hide his ambitions, an important reason is a sword, a sword that suddenly fell into Liu Bei's hands.
Of course, Sun Gan didn't know the deep-seated reason, but since Liu Bei had made a choice, as Liu Bei's advisor, all Sun Gan needed to do was to do his best to plan for Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei could have a higher chance of winning.
After Liu Beice immediately stepped forward to swear an oath, 20,000 Liu Beijun marched from Linzi and headed in the direction of Jizhou.
When Liu Bei led an army of 20,000 to the Bohai Sea, Guan Yu, who had already received the news, had been waiting by the side of the avenue for a long time.
Looking at the oncoming Liu Bei, Guan Yu stepped forward with excitement, and hugged Liu Bei and Zhang Fei tightly, since taking the Bohai Sea, Guan Yu has been sitting in the Bohai Sea, and has never left, and the three brothers have not seen each other for a long time.
"Big brother, third brother, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Second brother, this time the three of us brothers join forces and we must beat that guy Yuan Shao well."
"Second brother, you've worked hard for all these hours in Bohai, come, let's talk while walking, can you tell me about the situation in Jizhou?"
After entering Nanpi City, Guan Yu said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, not long ago, General Gongsun led 30,000 troops to attack Hejian, and in a few days, he took the entire territory of Hejian, but then Yuan Shao also reacted in time, and ordered Lu Yi and Xin Ping to lead 10,000 troops north to Hejian and start a confrontation with General Gongsun. Koji Yi had the first soldiers of the war army in his hands, and there were strategists such as Xin Ping to give advice, although General Gongsun had an advantage in troops, but he could not break through Koyi's defense line for a while. I originally wanted to send troops to help General Gongsun, but Yuan Shao's Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Fu Zhu also led troops to the Bohai border, and in order to guard against this group of soldiers and horses, I could only stay in Bohai. ”
After listening to Guan Yu's statement, Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that there are a lot of capable people around Yuan Benchu, and he can actually respond so quickly." ”
Guan Yu let Liu Bei sit in the first place at this time, himself and Zhang Fei sat in the second and third positions, followed by Tai Shici and Sun Qian.
"Big brother, what do you think we should do next?"
Liu Bei didn't answer directly at this time, but looked at Sun Qian and asked, "Gongyou, what do you think?" ”
Sun Gan said: "My lord, my subordinates think that at this time, we should first get in touch with General Gongsun, and then agree on the time of attack together to form a cooperation, so that we can have an advantage in the confrontation with Yuan Shao." Yuan Shao was born in the Runan Yuan clan of the fourth and third dukes, although he is not a son-in-law, but his reputation today is not weaker than Yuan Shu, or even stronger, we and General Gongsun alone are actually unlikely to be Yuan Shao's opponents, only the two parties can work together to win. ”
What Sun Qian didn't know was that if it weren't for the variable of Yuan Yao by Yuan Shu's side in this life, Yuan Shu's reputation would never be comparable to Yuan Shao, and it could even be said that Yuan Shu in the original trajectory was still beaten miserably even if he received the strong support of the Yuan clan in Runan, but Yuan Shao was able to start with Bohai alone, and finally defeated Gongsun Zan to become the overlord of the north, and the gap between the two sides was not a little.
Of course, in this life, due to Yuan Yao's existence, Yuan Shu's whole person has changed, so that Yuan Shu also has the strength to compete with Yuan Shao. Even under Yuan Yao's intentional operation, with the presence of Youheng and Chen Lin, plus Huang Yi's improved papermaking and printing, Yuan Shu's reputation is almost the same as Yuan Shao's.
Liu Bei also agreed with Sun Gan's words at this time, the civil and military lineup under Yuan Shao's command was extremely strong, and the existence of the level of Condensation Gang Realm and Void Soul Realm alone was enough to crush Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan, if Liu Bei and Gongsun Chan wanted to win in the next Jizhou War, they must join forces, if they did not join forces, then even if Yuan Shao fought against Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei at the same time, he would win.
"Gongyou, then you can arrange this matter quickly, so let's let Ziyi protect you and go to the river, and discuss the next action with Brother Bogui."
