After thinking about it, only the "Election Battalion" is still idle, it's just ...... Liu Bei glared at Xi Zhicai, this is Lao Tzu's personal soldier, how can it be called idle, isn't this protecting Lao Tzu's safety.

Xi Zhicai said: "The lord asked Dong to return, and received tens of thousands of soldiers, most of the soldiers of this generation were originally the forbidden army in Luoyang, and they were all elite soldiers collected by the imperial court after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It is a pity that the Lord used such a strong man as a coolie. Now that these horses have been used as coolies for several years, it is better to reorganize these soldiers and conquer Liaodong, which can be regarded as giving them a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

Hearing what Xi Zhicai said, Liu Bei remembered that he still had such a group of soldiers in his hands. Using elite soldiers as coolies, Liu Bei is able to do it all over the world.

But this is also a helpless thing, Liu Bei's military merits, the status of the soldier is very high, and the pawn cannot be directly used in the army casually.

Xuande thought about it, these people have also worked hard for a few years, and they can be regarded as repaying the sin of rebelling against Dong Zhuo, so it is better to give them a chance. Anyway, even if they die in battle, they don't feel distressed, but Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and others are all generals, and if they lose, they will feel distressed.

For a while, Liu Bei was also a little hesitant.

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Bei said secretly, not to mention anything else, first teach Tai Shici to recruit those soldiers who are worthy of being used in the pawn into an army, and as for the rest of those who are not suitable, they will also be pardoned.

After all, this group of people has also worked hard for so long, and they don't know how much wasteland they have opened, how many ditches they have built, how many roads they have built, and what their sins have all changed.

So, Liu Bei said to Li Min that when this army is formed, he will be sent to clean up Gongsun Du, and as for when it will become an army, it is Liu Bei's final say.

Li Min suddenly said: "Junhou, I have a plan, I can contact Wuhuan and fight Gongsun Du together!" ”

Xuande pondered for a moment and said, "I heard the sage cloud: 'The descendants do not seek summer, and they do not mess with China.'" "Gongsun Du is rebellious, I will get rid of it, but the matter of collusion with Wu Huan, Li Gong does not need to mention it again." ”

Li Min had no choice but to thank him.

When Li Min left, Xi Zhi sighed, it was indeed a good idea to unite Wuhuan to deal with Gongsun Du.

However, the land of Liaodong does not affect the overall situation of the Central Plains at all, and if Liu Bei can dominate the world in the future, he will naturally be easily pacified with the enemy in the world.

As for those soldiers who got from Dong Zhuo, they haven't been soldiers for a few years, and it is also doubtful how much combat power they can have.

Liu Bei thought about it, although Gongsun Du acted a little rebellious, but Gongsun Du did a good job in Liaodong, there is no need to deal with him now, it is better to go and clean up Wuhuan first, and then it is not too late to say anything else.

Wuhuan was originally relatively powerful, the last time Zhang Chun rebelled, Wuhuan Kou slightly north of the four states, can dispatch 100,000 cavalry, no matter what the quality is, at least the number is still there.

However, it was also Wu Huan's bad luck that he met Liu Bei, but he was killed, even dead and wounded, plus tens of thousands of prisoners, so his power declined greatly, and even Qiu Liju, the father and son, were cut off by Liu Bei, and now Qiu Liju's nephew is the leader.

Liu Bei didn't want to waste his brain, so he simply used Cao Cao's method in history to sneak attack the Wuhuan people from the small road, so he has always treated Tian Chou well. He also said a few bad things that Wuhuan has done in Youzhou over the years.

Tian Chou is also arrogant, and has always said that I will not go out of the mountain to be an official, of course, if Liu Bei goes to attack * Huan and let him lead the way, there will still be no problem.

Since this is the case, Liu Bei will naturally not force him, in this world, two-legged toads are not easy to find, and there will be no shortage of people who are willing to be officials, and there will be no shortage of you Tianchou.

When I didn't see Li Hongzhang scolding people, they all said that you are stupid and can't even be an official, it can be seen that in the feudal era, as long as you are not a particularly stupid fool, there is a big problem with being an official or wood.

In this crusade against Wuhuan, Liu Bei only brought his elite cavalry, originally there were about 10,000 elite cavalry in Qingzhou and Jizhou, and more than 10,000 elite cavalry under Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, a total of 20,000 elite cavalry. Youzhou belongs to the borderland, and there is no shortage of cavalry, if you do extreme mobilization, it is estimated that tens of thousands of cavalry will be pulled out, but Liu Bei does not want to use ordinary cavalry.

Liu Bei first went to Xu Wushan with Tian Chou, feasted the local three elders, and visited around, and couldn't help but sigh, this place is really a paradise.

According to historical sayings, Cao Cao's Northern Expedition to Wuhuan was very risky, and even when Cao Cao came back, he said: "Go alone, take advantage of the danger to be lucky, although you can get it, the sky is also supported, so it cannot be taken for granted." The advice of the kings, the plan of all peace, is to reward each other, and it is not difficult to say it later. ”

It means that although I won the battle, I was wrong, what you said was right, and such suggestions should be put forward in the future, don't stop talking in the future because I won this battle by luck.

After Cao Cao came out of the fortress, he passed through Pinggang to the White Wolf for 500 miles, the White Wolf and Liucheng for 200 miles, and the end to Lulongcheng was also 200 miles, so Cao Cao said "from the mountains to more than 900 miles".

No matter what era it is, walking 900 miles of mountain roads is a headache.

Cao Cao was actually unlucky, he could have taken the big road, but the road was raining heavily and the cars and horses were not available.

After listening to Tian Chou's explanation, Liu Bei understood that the geography of this era is different from modern times, and there is still a part of Shanhaiguan in the sea, and there will be big water in summer and autumn, when the boats are too shallow and the horses are too deep. Cao Cao set off in the summer, so there was a lot of water. If you take the Lulongse path, there are no problems with fewer people and horses, but there are many people and horses and you can't walk at all.

No wonder in history, Cao Cao's goods were blocked by the flood, which was fundamentally determined by the geography of this year.

Tian Chou pointed to the right road, but he underestimated the danger of this road, and simply felt that "out of the empty land, the road is close." ”

In fact, in Liu Bei's opinion, since he is so risky, then don't take this path, he still has to attack from the main road in a dignified battle, even if he can't win, at least there is no big danger, anyway, there is no heavy rain now. As for the path, even if you walk, you can use all the way to the teacher.

"Who wants to stand up and take the small road to sneak up on the back road of Wuhuan?" Hyundeok asked.

"The last will go!" Before Liu Bei's words fell, a general had already come out, and everyone regarded it as righteousness.

Liu Bei glanced at Ju Yi, shook his head and said: "The general's headquarters are all foot soldiers, and the small road is sneak attacked, so the cavalry should come first." The general is not impatient, this Northern Expedition to Wuhuan is indispensable. ”

Another general came out and said: "Ming Gong, although he is not talented, I would like to ask the elite to ride three thousand and sneak attack from the path." ”
