It is said that Liu Yi and the three of them returned to Zhuo County after asking for 5,000 soldiers from Liu Yu, the assassin history, and just arrived in Zhuo County, they heard the bad news that the Yellow Turban Army was approaching Si Li.

The place of Sili, the place of the Son of Heaven, after Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, opened up Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he set aside a state here separately and called Sili.

At that time, the world was divided into three dukes, three dukes were extremely ministers, and the three dukes were in charge of the division, that is, the place where the Son of Heaven was personally appointed, the center of Si Lizhou, and also the imperial capital Luoyang, which has always been the place where the rebels looked at.

According to the current general trend, Liu Yi and the others are ready to send troops to support the nearest imperial army in line with the "principle of proximity". According to the news from Cui Si, the closest imperial army to Liu Yi and others at this time was Lu Zhi's Northern Army.

"Sir, I plan to hand over all those new soldiers to Commander Yunchang, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

After the policy was decided, Liu Yi began to prepare for the rectification of the sergeants and waited for the opportunity to send troops.

Cheng Yu stroked his goatee when he heard this, and then said, "I look at Guan Yu, he is indeed a general, since the lord intends to promote, he also thinks this move is feasible!" It's just that General Zhang only has 4,000 cavalry under his command now, and if 5,000 soldiers are handed over to Guan Yu at this time, I'm afraid that General Zhang will think more, and the lord still needs to talk to General Zhang about this matter! ”

Liu Yi felt that what Cheng Yu said made sense, so he ordered Cui Si to call Zhang Fei back.

In fact, Liu Yi knew in his heart that although he and Zhang Fei were not brothers, but after experiencing so many things, the relationship between the two had gone beyond the relationship between the lord and the courtier, and they were already closer than relatives, no matter how he decided, Zhang Fei would not really complain about himself, because of this, sometimes he would inadvertently ignore Zhang Fei's feelings.

Cui Si didn't walk long before he saw Zhang Fei running back from outside.

"Lord, sir, what's the matter with me?"

Liu Yi saw Zhang Fei's hurried appearance, and hurriedly asked him to sit down.

"Yide, my husband and I, and Yun Chang, didn't the three of us go to Thorn Shi before! Then I asked for five thousand soldiers from Lord Thorn Shi" Speaking of this, Liu Yi stopped, and then looked straight at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Liu Yi, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" I know that! I just saw Senior Brother Yun go to rest with those 5,000 soldiers! ”

"Now there is such a thing, that is, who should be assigned to you for these five thousand sergeants, and my husband and I have not been able to make up our minds, so I want to ask you what you think about this matter!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he looked at Liu Yi and Cheng Yu with tears and laughter.

"My lord, sir, are you two making fun of me? I'm a rough person, you two can do this matter of assigning military affairs, I'm only responsible for training troops and fighting wars, if you want me to make an idea, then you're really embarrassed for me Lao Zhang."

"The main thing is that in our team now, Yao Lie's poisonous scorpion does not seek more, and two thousand people are enough. You and San'er are left, and San'er's infantry, shield soldiers, and archers are a total of 6,000, and your cavalry is only 4,000, don't you want to add some more soldiers? Liu Yi asked.

Zhang Fei thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Actually, I can make up for it here or not, I see that Senior Brother Yun is a talent, lord, why don't you give him all the new soldiers!" ”

Liu Yi and Cheng Yu looked at each other for a moment when they heard this, you must know that on weekdays, as soon as there are elite soldiers to make up, Zhang Fei will snatch it with Yao Lie, and now there are 5,000 soldiers, and they have received basic training, at this time, Zhang Fei did not fight or rob and took the initiative to ask to leave it to Guan Yu, which had to make Liu Yi and the others impressed!

"No wonder the lord praised General Zhang's righteousness in front of him, today it seems that as the lord said, he underestimated the general before, and Cheng made amends to the general here!" After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he got up and bowed to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei's cheeks were feverish by Cheng Yu's sudden compliment, and he hurriedly held Cheng Yu up, and said a little embarrassedly, "Mr. is overrated, to be honest, I don't want to be like this, the key is that I don't know which guy who likes to pull his wife's tongue spread the story of my conversation with Brother Yun that day, and those people under me all talked privately after hearing that Brother Yun is so powerful, and I heard that after you come back, you all want to see his honor, I am afraid that he will steal the limelight from me as a deputy general under my hands!" ”

Zhang Fei scratched his head embarrassedly after speaking.

Liu Yi and the others immediately burst out laughing after hearing this.

"I'll just say why did you kid change your sex today! It turned out to be his own little abacus! Hahaha" Liu Yi couldn't help but tease Zhang Feilai.

While a few people were talking and laughing, Guan Yu arranged for the 5,000 soldiers to rest and then returned to the house.

Liu Yi learned that Guan Yu was back, and hurriedly sent someone to call him into the house.

"Yun Chang come quickly, I have something good to tell you!" Liu Yi laughed and beckoned to Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu heard this, although he was puzzled, he still respectfully came to Liu Yi.

"Yun Chang, Yide said just now, you want me to hand over the new 5,000 soldiers to your commander! I don't know if you're willing to do it? ”

Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, knelt down on one knee, and bowed to Liu Yi, "Thank you, lord!" Guan will live up to the kindness of the lord! ”

"Hurry up, hurry up! You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Yide, these soldiers are all what he asked for you! ”

The reason why Liu Yi said this is to give this favor to Zhang Fei, after all, the two will get along day and night in the future, and only when their relationship is well established can their team be cohesive.

"Thank you, Brother Yide!" Guan Yu bowed to Zhang Fei gratefully.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Guan Yu.

"We are all brothers, not to mention that we are all working for the lord, you don't need to be polite, if you can afford me, just accompany me to drink some later!"

When everyone saw that Zhang Fei wanted to drink again, they immediately burst into laughter. Everyone chatted for a while, and Liu Yi took Guan Yu and a few people to the school training ground to announce that Guan Yu would lead the army alone, and after everything was done, Liu Yi and Cheng Yu went back to their homes and continued to study the matter of sending troops.

In fact, on the way back from the Assassin's Mansion, Cheng Yu had already thought about the deployment of troops, and at this time he told Liu Yi his thoughts.

"Lord, I think this time to send troops, sooner rather than later, while the righteous army of the imperial court can still resist the offensive of the Yellow Turban, let's support it earlier, and the righteous army will have a better chance of winning!"

Liu Yi nodded in approval when he heard this, "Yes, I didn't expect the Yellow Turban Army's offensive to be so fierce!" In this case, according to what Mr. said, we will send troops the day after tomorrow! ”

Cheng Yu saw that Liu Yi agreed to his suggestion so decisively, and he was very grateful in his heart, the so-called "good birds choose trees and perch, and good ministers choose their masters and things" to meet a lord who trusts him so much, it is undoubtedly a happy for a strategist like Cheng Yu with a strange plan.

Cheng Yu looked at Liu Yi gratefully and then said, "That being the case, I suggest that the main army be divided into three routes, although General Yao's poisonous scorpions are small in number, they have the strongest combat effectiveness, and no one can match them in terms of long-distance running ability, so I thought that the poisonous scorpions should be sent as the first army to support the rebels as quickly as possible."

Among Liu Yi's teams, Yao Lie's poisonous scorpion is the hardest trained in peacetime, and it is also the most experienced in combat, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it has the strongest combat effectiveness.

Liu Yi thought about it and felt that what Cheng Yu said made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu said again, "There are two remaining roads, one is led by me and General Zhang, followed by the poisonous scorpion; One route is led by General Guan and General Wang, because of the majority of infantry in the army, so it is ranked last, and the three armies look at each other, and they can support the rebel army in three times, which will definitely catch the Yellow Turban thieves off guard! ”

Cheng Yu's strategy can be said to be a clever plan, because now the rebel army under Lu Zhi is weak compared to Zhang Jiao's main force, and it is difficult to hold out for a long time. If Liu Yi's entire army went to support at the marching speed of infantry, I am afraid that the righteous army would have been wiped out before the place arrived.

"Sir's plan is very clever, in this way, Zhang Jiao can't figure out how many reinforcements we have behind us, and he will not dare to attack in a big way, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, the morale of the righteous army will also increase greatly.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu said happily: "My lord, you agreed?" ”

Liu Yi looked at Cheng Yu when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I agree with the matter of dividing the soldiers into three ways, but the personnel have to be adjusted."

"How?"

"Yao Lie's poisonous scorpion can be the first army, the Chinese army can be commanded by Yide alone, and as for the final team, it will be commanded by me and Yun Chang! You and San'er, you two have to protect the rear for me at home! ”

Liu Yi and Cheng Yu didn't count Cui Si, not that Cui Si was useless, but that he had a specialization in the art industry, Cui Si's main ability was to find out all kinds of news for Liu Yi, as for leading troops to fight, Liu Yi had already ordered not to interfere with Cui Si.

When Cheng Yu heard that Liu Yi wanted to let himself and Wang San stay to protect the rear, he immediately felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "Lord, how can you go to the battlefield in person, it is better for you and General Wang to stay, and I will go with General Guan!" ”

Liu Yi knew that Cheng Yu was kind, but after thinking about it, he still insisted, "Now that all industries in the city are waiting to be developed, all kinds of people's livelihood matters still need to be presided over, I think that compared with Mr., this aspect is not as much as Mr., so Mr. should stay!" ”

Cheng Yu knew that Liu Yi was telling the truth, but when he thought that the sword was eyeless on the battlefield, he still didn't worry that Liu Yi would personally lead the troops.

Seeing that Cheng Yu still had to persuade him, Liu Yi stood up and patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, if there is really a war at that time, I will hide behind!" Hahaha"

Cheng Yu knew that Liu Yi was joking, but seeing that his determination had been decided, he no longer persuaded him, but began to tell Liu Yi bitterly to pay attention to safety Yunyun, and finally said Liu Yi was a little impatient, and scolded with a smile, "You are about to become my mother-in-law" Cheng Yu stopped.

Two days later, Liu Yi sent Yao Lie to lead 2,000 poisonous scorpions to set off first, followed by Zhang Fei with 4,000 cavalry, himself and Guan Yu led the 5,000 soldiers to the palace, Cheng Yu and Wang San stayed in the city, and Cui Si was responsible for the transmission of everyone's news.

At noon that day, Liu Yi gave an order, and an army of 11,000 people left the city.
