Chapter 50: Agreeing to send troops
Pingyuan County,
There is no county guard in Pingyuan County, so Liu Bei, the Pingyuan County Commander, is the largest court official in Pingyuan County, the county capital.
After Liu Bei came to Pingyuan County, he began his hard work, and in two years, Pingyuan County was well organized by him, and the population of the people recovered quickly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bei also developed the strength of his subordinates, and Liu Bei gradually formed an army of more than 3,000 people with some materials sent by Sun Ce and Gongsun Zhan, as well as his own accumulation.
Although this army is unevenly armored and has few war horses, it still has good strength under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Three months ago, Liu Bei harvested a talent named Kou Zhun, and with the help of Kou Zhun, Pingyuan once again ushered in a major development, and now Liu Bei has nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the population of Pingyuan County has reached more than 6,000 households.
The county capital of Danyang County is Wanling, and there are 12,000 households in Wanling, and the gap between the two sides is very large, but Pingyuan County is even more amazing.
You must know that the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qingzhou can be said to be the most serious, even now there are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels in Qingzhou.
Kou Zhun is the quasi-first-class general who came in randomly, Kou Zhun is a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, familiar with government affairs, and also familiar with military affairs, so for such a talent as Kou Zhun, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also admired, but Kou Zhun's temper is a little weird, which makes him often have verbal conflicts with Guan Yu.
"Lord, there is something that my subordinates need to remind Lord!"
On this day, Liu Bei's three brothers and Kou Zhun were discussing matters, and Kou Zhun suddenly became serious.
"What?"
Liu Bei and the others looked at Kou Zhun,
"The lord should already know that the Yellow Turban Guan Hai is gathering troops and horses to prepare to deal with Beihai County."
The speed of news transmission in this era is really limited, you must know that now Guan Hai has already surrounded Beihai, and even because of Tai Shici's breakthrough, he has begun to attack the city.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Liu Bei looked at Kou Zhun curiously,
"If nothing happens, Kong Rong is afraid that he will send someone to ask for help!"
Kou Zhun replied.
"How could he ask me for help, my Liu Bei is only the lord of a county, and there are only thousands of soldiers under him, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou Guanhai, even if I Liu Bei has the heart to save him, I can't save him!"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly.
"The lord needs to know that he is desperate to survive, as long as there is the slightest chance, I am afraid they will not give up!"
Kou Zhun continued.
"How is the gentleman going to deal with it?"
Liu Bei hurriedly asked, he really wanted to help, but he was really powerless, he was not a rootless duckweed now, he had a county seat, once his strength was damaged, he would definitely not survive in this troubled era.
"This battle is not indispensable, our army from the rear raid, with the cloud long, the courage of the wing can easily mess up its formation, as long as the defenders in the city cooperate properly, inside and outside the attack, you can easily relieve the danger of the North Sea, after all, Guan Hai's soldiers and horses are just a chaotic army after all."
Kou Zhun said with a smile.
"As Mr. said, then Liu Bei must help Kong Rong!"
Liu Bei replied solemnly.
"The first purpose of this battle is to rescue Beihai and let Kong Rong owe favors, and secondly, to make a name for the lord, not to mention the world, you have to let Qingzhou know the name of the lord, as for the third, please ask your subordinates to sell it for the time being!"
Kou Zhun smiled and spoke, Zhizhu in his hand, and it seemed that everything was under control.
"Sir's third point, Liu Bei is very curious!"
Kou Zhun's words filled Liu Bei with anticipation.
"Sir, what do you say?"
Zhang Fei said impatiently.
"This matter is very important, and now that I have said it, I am afraid that you will be anxious."
Kou Zhun said with a smile.
"Sir, it's making our three brothers itch now!"
Guan Yu smiled bitterly, even he was very curious about Kou Zhun's thoughts.
"No hurry, no hurry!"
Kou Zhun was smiling and unhurried.
"Sir, if Kong Rong didn't send someone to ask for help, then should I still go?"
According to Liu Bei's character, he wanted to go, but he wanted to listen to Kou Zhun's thoughts more.
"If nothing else, Kong Rong's people are probably about to arrive, if Kong Rong really didn't send someone to ask for help, then it should be like this, the lord can't do this thankless thing."
Kou Zhun was very confident, but he didn't take a bite to say, he still had room for improvement, and there were other countermeasures.
"Lord Qiqi, there is a soldier outside the city who claims to be from Beihai and wants to see the lord!"
At this moment, a soldier appeared in the sight of the four.
"Look, isn't this coming!"
Kou Zhun laughed.
"Sir's clever calculation, I am admired!"
In this way, Liu Bei attaches more importance to Kou Zhun.
……
"Tai Shi Ci has seen Lord Liu!"
After several days, Tai Shici finally arrived in Pingyuan County.
"General Taishi is polite!"
Liu Bei hugged his fists and saluted, and the same was true for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Kou Zhun.
"I don't know why General Taishi came to my plain county?"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei asked again.
"Please also ask Lord Liu to save me Beihai!"
Tai Shi Ci bowed down and pleaded.
"General Taishi, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Bei pretended to be puzzled.
"The Yellow Turban Guan Hai led a large number of soldiers and horses to surround my Beihai, and the last general came to ask for help from the adults on the orders of Lord Kong, and asked the adults to help me Beihai relieve the siege of Beihai."
Tai Shi Ci pleaded again.
"Master Kong is a famous person in the world, and he naturally wants to help him, but there are hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves, and there are only a few thousand people under him, so he is powerless!"
Liu Bei was embarrassed.
"Don't worry, my lord, although the Yellow Turbans claim to be hundreds of thousands, but the old and weak are the majority, in fact, the soldiers who can fight are only tens of thousands, adults only need to lead the troops to sneak attack outside, and the defenders in the city will be able to break the Yellow Turban rebellion and relieve the siege of Beihai."
Tai Shi Ci hurriedly explained.
"Since this is the case, then Liu Bei will give up his life to go on this journey."
Liu Bei said resolutely.
"Thank you, sir!"
Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed.
"Yun Chang, Yide!"
"In!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei responded at the same time.
"Order the two of you to order all the soldiers and horses, and set off to Beihai with a certain tomorrow to relieve the siege of Beihai!"
Liu Bei commanded in a deep voice.
"No!"
"General Taishi, although there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, it takes time to prepare, how do you set off tomorrow!"
After Liu Bei finished instructing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he looked at Tai Shici again.
"Very good!"
Tai Shi Ci nodded, it was enough for him to be able to persuade Liu Bei to send troops, he had been able to have a clear conscience, and it didn't matter when he sent troops.
"Well, please ask the general to rest in the city for a day, and set off with the army tomorrow."
Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Liu!"
Tai Shi Ci thanked him.
……
At night, Liu Bei's three brothers and Kou Zhun got together.
"This Tai Shi Ci looks extraordinary!"
Liu Bei sighed.
"There are obvious blood stains on its armor, it is obvious that it was killed all the way, and since it can be killed, it must have extraordinary force."
Guan Yu said in a deep voice.
"For this Tai Shi Ci, his subordinates still know something, this person is originally from Donglai, he is famous in the Donglai area, and is known for his bravery, he is not Kong Rong's subordinate, but Kong Rong has a great favor to his mother, and he wants to repay his kindness."
Kou Zhun said meaningfully.
"Affectionate, righteous and brave, he should be a big husband!"
Liu Bei praised.
"If that's the case, it's extraordinary!"
Guan Yu said approvingly, for people who are affectionate and righteous, Guan Yu appreciates it the most.
"Sir doesn't want to take him under his brother's command!"
Zhang Fei, who was the most reckless, said a transparent word.
"Those who know me, Yi Deya!"
Kou Zhun laughed.
"Since Kong Rong is kind to Tai Shi Ci, how can this Tai Shi Ci join a certain command."
Liu Bei frowned and said.
"If Tai Shi Ci has the heart to work for Kong Rong, how could he not join Kong Rong until now, this is obviously just to repay his kindness, he doesn't really want to join Kong Rong's command."
Kou Zhun shook his head and smiled.
"He is affectionate and righteous, knows how to judge the situation, and has martial arts, which is worthy of being won over by his brother."
Guan Yu agreed with Kou Zhun's proposal.
"I'm afraid he won't look down on us!"
Liu Bei was a little helpless.
"If you don't give it a try, how will you know!"
