259. Pre-war preparations
After Liu Qi came out of the state pastoral mansion, he suddenly felt relaxed. Thinking that he, Liu Qi, finally had the opportunity to lead the troops alone, and to face the powerful Cao Army, just thinking about it made his blood boil. However, Liu Qi still has self-knowledge, he knows that it is impossible to compete with Cao Cao and his advisers with his own strategy, so after coming out of the state governor's mansion, he has to visit a few people, first of all, the general Wenpin.
The Wen family is also one of the largest families in Xiangyang City. His Chinese is particularly outstanding as a representative of the Wen family, and he is a confidant under Liu Biao. Liu Qi came to visit Wen's house, and Wen Ping was stunned when he heard that Liu Qi was visiting, and then ordered his subordinates to quickly welcome the eldest prince in. And he himself quickly got up and went outside the house to greet Liu Qi. Liu Qi saw Wen Ping come to greet him so ceremoniously, and he was overjoyed, and then stepped forward and grabbed Wen Ping's arm to prevent him from bowing to him. "The general doesn't have to be polite, today Qi is uninvited, I really have something to discuss with the general." Liu Qi said to Wen Ping with a smile. Wen Ping heard a burst of suspicion in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but enthusiastically let Liu Qi into the house. After the two of them sat down, he asked, "If there is anything that the eldest prince needs to contribute, you just have to say it!" ”
Liu Qi smiled and nodded: "I just came out of my father's place, and my father promised me to lead an army of 30,000 to rescue Wancheng and refuse Cao Cao and Jingzhou." My father appointed General Wen as the general of the army, so I came here to ask the general how I should behave. ”
"This ......" Wen Ping was silent for a while, his eyes skimmed over Liu Qi's excited face, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The eldest prince has a way that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, this time you are impatient!" That Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, not to mention that this person is well-armed, and there are many people who can conquer and fight habitually, and it is difficult for our army to win if he dares to go forward! Liu Qi listened to Wen Ping's words and suddenly felt like a basin of cold water splashed down, and was stunned by Wen Ping's words at the moment, he had just boasted about Haikou in front of his father, is this a gaffe? Thinking of this, Liu Qi was unwilling to say: "General Wen, can't the Cao army really be defeated?" I heard that Liu Beijun defeated Cao Jun several times. ”
Wen Ping smiled helplessly: "Liu Bei's army has fierce generals, and the soldiers use their lives, so they will not fall behind on the battlefield. But our Jingzhou army is much weaker. There is also the plan of Han Fei, a small military advisor in Liu Bei's army, who is said to be a last-ditch strategy and has unparalleled knowledge. It is precisely because of him that Liu Bei has taken advantage of Cao Cao several times. But even so, both sides of the Cao Liu War also suffered casualties on both sides, which shows the strength of Cao's army. ”
"Isn't it possible that you, General Wen, can't defeat Cao Jun?" Liu Qi still asked a little unwillingly.
"If I am in command of the army, I am 30% sure that even if I don't win, I won't be defeated!" Wen Ping thought for a moment and said. Hearing the probability given by Wen Ping, Liu Qi only felt that it was dark in front of him, only thirty percent? That's a, isn't that even half of the chance to win? Just when he was anxious, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "General Wen, you said that if we can ask Han Fei, the little military master, to help, how sure are we that we can defeat Cao Jun?" ”
Wen Ping was stunned for a moment and said, "Han Fei is not here, it's in vain to think about it!" Liu Qi said with a smile: "General Wen, you don't know, that little military master Han Fei is now in Xiangyang City, I only ask if you can ask him to come out to help, can you beat that Cao Jun?" ”
Wen Ping thought for a while and said: "If the eldest prince can really ask him for help, I am at least fifty percent sure that he can defeat Cao Jun, but this also requires the cooperation of Zhang Ji of Wancheng!" Liu Qi slapped his thigh and said: "That's enough, I can fight with fifty percent certainty, plus my father will help me find a few more generals in addition to you, how can I be able to fight with that thief Zhou Xuan when the time comes!" Liu Qi then chatted with Wen Ping about the specific details of the troops, and then he refused Wen Ping's invitation to stay for dinner, and ran to the next family after leaving Wen Mansion.
The next one Liu Qi is going to visit is not Han Fei, but Kuai Liang, his half-teacher. When Kuai Liang saw Liu Qi visiting, he asked people to invite him into the house. After sitting down, Kuai Liang asked, "But it's done?" ”
Liu Qi nodded and said: "It's done, my father is asking for the approval of now, and I will lead the army to Wancheng to aid Zhang Ji in the near future, and then the army will not return to Xiangyang, but stay in Fancheng and defend Cao Cao in the north with Fancheng and Xinye." ”
Kuai Liang listened to Liu Qi's narration, nodded secretly, and said, "This plan is wonderful! Heavy ears are safe on the outside, and Shen Sheng is dead on the inside! It seems that Han Fei, the little military master, is really not a wasted person. Thinking of this, Kuai Liang said: "The eldest prince is going to rescue Wancheng, who did the lord send to go with you?" ”
"It's General Wenpin." Liu Qi replied truthfully.
"Well, if Zhongye goes, it will be a big defeat if you don't win!" Kuai Liang nodded and said. After hearing this, Liu Qi asked, "I don't know if I can ask Mr. to go with me, so that I can be more sure." ”
Kuai Liang shook his head and said: "Not only me, but also Kuai Yue can't go with the eldest prince, we are the eldest prince, your last guarantee in Xiangyang City, and we must not leave." But we can't move, but someone can. There is a saying: one thing does not bother the two masters. Isn't that little military master Han Fei the most suitable candidate? ”
After listening to this, Liu Qi said: "It seems that I can only invite him, and I don't know if he is willing to help me!" Kuai Liang laughed and said: "The eldest prince is too worried, he is also helping himself when he helps you." If Cao Cao is allowed to win Wancheng and even Jingzhou, Liu Bei will inevitably be passive, so for his own sake, he will not let Cao Cao take Wancheng. Liu Qi nodded after hearing this: "Then I'll go to the post house in a while!" ”
Kuai Liang looked at Liu Qi and shook his head and said, "Eldest prince, there are still a few days to prepare for the dispatch of troops, so you don't have to rush forward." Now the most important thing you should go to is the barracks. It's not too late to visit Han Fei after the army is reorganized. After hearing this, Liu Qi naturally agreed, and immediately stayed at Kuai's family to eat. The next day, he hurried to the barracks early in the morning. After meeting Wenpin, he began to reorganize his men and make final preparations for sending troops to rescue Wancheng.
How could such a big event as mobilizing people be hidden from Cai Mao, Cai Mao was shocked when he learned it. After being shocked, he immediately became angry, he kicked over the case, and then yelled: "Liu Biao, I think you are old and confused!" Just rely on how the soldiers of Jingzhou dare to match the elite of Prime Minister Cao Cheng! You're going to die, why do you have to wait for me! No, I need to fix it quickly! Thinking of this, Cai Mao immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to the Cao army camp. After the messenger left, Cai Mao sneered: "Liu Qi, Xiao'er, you are cowering in Xiangyang City, for the sake of Liu Biao, the old horseman, I still want to keep you, this time you dare to go out of the city, I will see if you still have the life to come back!" ”
One more, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, ask for a reward, ask for a collection.
Friends, at this moment, the little military master Han Fei needs your strong support! Come and support me! Thank you.
