Since then, the situation in Hebei has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Tian Feng were reused.

Xu You, Guo Tu, Zhao Zhao, Jiang Yiqu, etc., fled to Youzhou and took refuge with Yuan Xi.

Hebei, which is good, is divided into three parts.

This also indirectly helped Cao Cao, so that he was saved from being attacked by the Jizhou army and the Youzhou army, and he could easily occupy the seven counties of the state.

Early February.

The battle of Guanghan County in Yizhou opened the curtain.

All the forces of Lü Bu and Zhuge Liang were assembled in the west of Guanghan County, south of Jiameng Pass, less than two hundred miles apart. It's like a pile of dry firewood that ignites when it meets fire.

Lu Bu is looking forward to it.

After Liu Bei's defeated army left Mushi City and fled to Yangping Pass. Yang Lin's 5th Division was recalled and actively prepared for battle.

In the tent.

On the left and right stood Han Xin, Li Jing, Yang Lin, Xiang Yu, Pei Yuanqing, etc.

Xu Shu opened the map and hung it.

Lu Bu walked to the side of the sand table and said, "I originally thought that in the battle of Jiameng Pass, Zhuge Liang would be greatly injured. We can also successfully occupy Yizhou. But I didn't expect that Zhuge Liang fled back to Guanghan County, and in just two months, he recovered his vitality. ”

"It's more than just rejuvenation."

Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "The lord should know that Zhuge Liang's current strength is ten times that of ours!" ”

"That's right."

Lu Bu glanced at the generals in the tent and said, "The big war is coming, I must tell you the truth about Zhuge Liang's military strength." Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one set up to meet the enemy. ”

Zhuge Liang fled back to Guanghan County, promised heavy profits to the Yizhou family, and won the support of all the families. Money, food, horses, and ordnance were all provided by the family. He also posted notices to promote benevolent government, promising the people of Shu to be exempt from taxes. This made the people of Guanghan County, Shu County, and Yongchang County enthusiastically join the army. In just over a month, 200,000 new troops have been added. ”

"There are also the soldiers and horses recruited before and the Shu army that fled from Jiameng Pass to Guanghan County, which added up to nearly one million!"

"Huh? Million?! The generals present were dumbfounded.

The people of the twelve counties of Yizhou together are only 7 million. This also has to remove the already occupied areas of Langzhong, Jiaozhou, Qianwei and so on. How can you recruit an army of a million?

"Is there a mistake in the information?" Li Jing couldn't believe it.

"That's right. There are indeed a million! ”

Lu Bu explained: "Most of the people in the twelve counties of Yizhou are in Guanghan County, Shu County, and Yongchang County. Twenty years ago, Liu Yan took charge of Yizhou and eliminated warlords everywhere, and since then, there have been few wars in Yizhou. When Liu Zhang was in power, he fought with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and there were no major casualties. Therefore, in the past 20 years, Yizhou has been basically peaceful, the people have recuperated, and the number has increased dramatically. The number of seven million counted by the Spirit Emperor is no longer accurate. In my opinion, there are at least 10 million people in the counties of Yizhou. In addition, the alien races in the southern and central regions also responded positively to Zhuge Liang. The garrisons from all over the country are gathered in Guanghan County, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one million. ”

"Isn't that an exaggeration?!"

The corners of the general's mouth twitched.

Han Xin said worriedly: "My lord, the troops in our hands are less than 130,000 (including Zhang Ren's troops), and there is a shortage of ammunition, grenades, and artillery. ”

"Are you scared?"

"The last general is not afraid, but he is just a little worried." Han Xin replied.

Even Han Xin didn't have the confidence to defeat Zhuge Liang, let alone other generals.

was as arrogant as Xiang Yu, and he didn't dare to come out to fight.

Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao didn't care, but they knew that Lu Bu would not allow them to fight alone.

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "My lord." My 100,000 new troops, and General Han's 1st Division have ammunition. The 2nd and 3rd armies were running out of arrows and had basically lost their combat effectiveness. In this case, do we postpone the attack on Shu. Wait for the follow-up baggage to arrive, and then make plans. ”

"Not allowed!"

Lu Bu said without hesitation: "Fighting a war is about one full strength, then decline, and three exhaustion. If it drags on for a long time, it will be even more detrimental to us. Besides, the war in the Central Plains is also worrying. I must occupy Yizhou as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains. ”

"As for the ammunition, I've already figured out a way"

"Huh? The lord has thought of a way? Li Jing said happily: "Could it be that the shadow sent the ammunition?" ”

"The Shadow can't fly, how can you send ammunition?"

"What is the way the lord said?"

Lu Bu said with a smile on his face: "I decided to temporarily reorganize the new army. Except for Han Shin's 1st Division and the 10,000 strong crossbows left behind, all the assault muskets were abandoned and replaced with swords, spears and shields. We took this expedition to Shu and brought only one division of new army equipment. ”

This so-called method frightened everyone.

The reason why the new army can be famous all over the world and shock Zhuge Liang is because it has powerful artillery, which is enough to destroy everything. If there is no artillery, then what is the new army? What is the difference with the Shu army?

If this fights, what advantage can it take?

Xu Shu was the first to object: "Please think twice." My 100,000 new troops, even if they don't have ammunition and grenades, can shock Zhuge Liang. If the equipment is removed. Don't say we're attacking Shu. I'm afraid that Zhuge Liang will immediately counterattack back. ”

"Huh? Counterattack? ”

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing.

Since entering Sichuan, although the two warring sides have won and lost, on the whole, the new army still has an absolute advantage. If the danger guarded by the main force is still taken away by Zhuge Liang, it will really be laughed out of the big teeth.

"My lord, Mr. Yuanzhi is right. The new army can't unload its equipment. Li Jing also persuaded.

"The shells are gone, what are you doing with the assault rifles? Just to scare Zhuge Liang? Can that capture Yizhou? Lu Bu knew very well in his heart that only by changing the tactics and gathering new strength could he move forward.

"Listen, y'all."

Lu Bu sorted out the thoughts in his head and said, "There are three reasons why I decided to reorganize the new army. First, the soldiers of the New Army, all of whom have experienced a hundred battles, are the best of all armies before they join the New Army. Even most of the soldiers are chiefs and captains, and they have strong melee capabilities. Perhaps for them, the use of war knives, shields, and spears is more convenient than the use of assault guns, and after the adaptation, they can form a strong combat power without training. ”

"Second, Zhuge Liang didn't know that we had reorganized the new army into an ordinary army, which was just enough to catch him off guard. When he reacts, he will underestimate us again, because ordinary troops do not have assault rifles and have lost the ability to fight from a distance, so he has no scruples and boldly uses troops. But he didn't know that the new army after changing into swords, shields, and spears had a terrifying ability to fight in close combat. ”

"Third, the terrain of Guanghan County is relatively flat, which is suitable for cavalry combat. Our new army has 15,000 cavalry, and after the reorganization, the forces will be concentrated together, and then there will be Xiang Yu's broken military camp. Completely suppress the Shu army. Han Xin's 1st Division and the 13,000 strong crossbows left behind, with abundant ammunition and arrows, are especially better than before.
