251. Hide from the sky and cross the sea
In the past few days, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, Li Le, Hu Cai, Han Xian and others thought that Li Dao and Guo Xi had made peace with them, so they were defenseless and very lax.
At this time, countless people and horses came out, and there was a big chaos. These cavalry rushed into Li Le's camp, killing people when they saw them, burning things when they saw them, dozens of people were in a team, clashes everywhere, and no one could resist.
Li Le and the others were trying to gather the people, but they were suspicious, and secretly said where did this soldier and horse come from, could it be that Li Dao and Guo Xi killed them.
"Wuhuan Rider! It's the Wuhuan Turf......"
The panicked shout remembered that the land east of the river was the land of the knights of the Three Rivers in the past, and the military quality was still not mentioned, so he naturally recognized the Wuhuan mercenaries.
Li Le and the others were all pale, and they all knew the famous name of the Youzhou Tuqi, if they were on guard, it would be better to say, but for now......
"Don't go away from the White Wave Thief!"
More cheers were heard...... It's all the accents of the land of Yan Zhao.
A big banner was held high, and the word "Liu" was written on the flag.
Li Le and the others didn't gather their men anymore, and took people to the broken garden where Emperor Han Xian was, and roared loudly over and over again: "The Son of Heaven is here, don't make a mistake!" The Son of Heaven is here, and he cannot make a second ......"
The Son of Heaven is still useful, and sure enough, no one dares to come to make a mistake, but he just leads troops to surround this place.
I don't know how long it took, the shouts of killing and persuasion gradually subsided, and several generals came on horseback with a crowd. This person is seven feet five inches tall, with a white face and a slight beard, arms over the knees, and two ears hanging down the shoulders, which are Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.
How did Liu Bei come about?
In the spring of this year, Liu Bei began to travel to the state and inspect Youzhou. Jizhou Liu Bei has inspected several times, and this is the first time he has inspected Youzhou.
Along the way, countless Youzhou men heard that Liu Bei was coming, and they all brought their own bows and arrows, weapons, horses and other things, and they came to meet each other one after another. First, Liu Bei is a native of Youzhou, and the local complex is extremely strong in this era. It is also the wealth effect brought by the return of the people who followed Liu Bei to attack * Huan. The estates, large and small, were sealed out according to the seal, and they didn't have to pay taxes, although they were fought for, everyone still wanted it.
Youzhou's foundation is good, although Liu Yu is indeed a little pedantic, but the level of internal affairs and people's livelihood is indeed not bad, Gongsun Chan is also a general who knows Tuntian, and the entire Youzhou can be regarded as peaceful, and now it looks a little thriving.
By the time Xuande arrived in Youbeiping, there were already thousands of Youzhou knights around him, and Liu Bei did not refuse to come, and included them one by one, and then sent officers to reorganize. He also ordered Zhang Fei to inspect the five counties outside the Saiwai on his behalf, and as soon as the spring ploughing in March passed, Xuande mobilized the soldiers from all over the country from north to south, and ordered Qingzhou and Jizhou to provide grain and grass.
Qingzhou and Jizhou have been peaceful for several years, and there are quite a lot of savings in the treasury. In particular, Qingzhou is close to the sea, has a developed fishing industry, and can dry salt, and also provides a large number of salted fish.
In April, Xuande mobilized 20,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, 10,000 sailors, and 5,000 Fengfeng battalions, a total of 85,000 men and horses were all in Yecheng.
It is falsely claimed that there are 200,000 iron cavalry, 500,000 foot soldiers, 100,000 sailors, and 30,000 Xuanfeng, a total of 830,000 horses, which is the legendary Cao Apu Chibi Battle of the horses.
Xuande's soldiers and horses, unlike other princes, do not have the word "people's husband". The logistical support is carried out by professional logistical troops, with 400 heavy soldiers for every 1,000 people, and although the combat effectiveness of these heavy soldiers is poor, they are still soldiers in the final analysis, and they can fight in an emergency. There are 10,000 cavalrymen, each with a cavalry attendant who guarantees his logistics, and most of these cavalry attendants are brothers or henchmen of the regular soldiers, and they are often used as light cavalry on the battlefield. The sailors marched along the Yellow River to transport grain, grass, baggage, crossbow arrows and other materials to ensure logistics.
Liu Bei is now the largest prince in the world, and his every move is the side eyes of the world, seeing Liu Bei raise 830,000 troops, everyone in the Kwantung princes was frightened, lest Liu Bei find him.
People in this era brag, generally one or two times the end, Liu Bei falsely claimed that there were 830,000 horses, and everyone thought that he should have about 230,000 horses. This is not wrong, if Liu Bei is to use it to the limit, two or three hundred thousand is really nothing.
Fortunately, news from Guanzhong kept coming, and the internal strife in the Xiliang army had intensified, and the Son of Heaven and the imperial court were in dire straits......
Soon Liu Bei played a banner, saying that it was a big chaos in Guanzhong, and he wanted to go west to King Qin and rescue the Son of Heaven.
Then, Liu Bei sent a messenger to contact Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang, saying that he would take advantage of the road to go to Guanzhong to rescue the Son of Heaven.
Zhang Yang was about to cry in fright, hundreds of thousands of troops, this is almost more than the population of Hanoi, Liu Bei is going to play a fake way! Zhang Yang mobilized troops and prepared to resist stubbornly. On the other hand, he found various reasons not to let Liu Bei borrow it. What is dangerous in the pass, it is not easy to attack, what is the princes of the land, how can they feign to attack the Son of Heaven to stop, what Li Guo and the two thieves, with the supreme as the hostage, throw rats and taboo weapons, and do not move lightly.
That's really knowing with emotion and moving with reason.
And Liu Bei didn't seem to have the intention of sending troops to fight with Zhang Yang, that is, he kept sending envoys to discuss with Zhang Yang, and he didn't mean to send troops to attack at all.
At the beginning, Zhang Yang was still very nervous, and when he saw that Liu Bei didn't mean to be tough, that is, he slowly relaxed, even if Zhang Yang didn't want to relax, his men and horses would also relax.
In August, Liu Bei dismissed most of the soldiers in the name of the autumn harvest, and Zhang Yang had no doubts about this, because Liu Bei had always been like this, and he refused to miss the agricultural time again.
Who knows, Liu Bei secretly mobilized 5,000 Fengfeng, 5,000 iron cavalry, and 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and when Zhang Yang dismissed most of the centaurs, he also wanted to harvest in autumn, so he easily raided Hanoi County in early September, and beheaded Yang Chou and Hao Meng, the generals under Zhang Yang.
As for Zhang Yang, Liu Bei didn't treat him well, a person with a character like Zhang Yang is not suitable for competing for power in troubled times at all, so it's better to be a rich man.
Haoqiang in Hanoi had already been killed by Wang Kuang, and the rest were all flamboyant people in the past two years, and they were cleaned up casually. The Hanoi soldiers and horses, the old and the weak were dismissed as the people. Leave the elite, inventory the acres of land, allocate land to these people, and grant land to government soldiers.
After taking Hanoi, Liu Bei sent cavalry, blocked the news, and sent people to Hedong to investigate.
In this era, there was no television, no Internet, no telegraph, and communication was basically based on roaring, and as long as the roads were blocked, the news could be blocked.
After the autumn harvest, Xuande transferred 30,000 soldiers and 10,000 cavalry to collect the grain of Hanoi, and Liu Bei is now not short of grain and grass at all.
When the Hedong White Wave Thieves went to rescue Emperor Han Xian, Xuande sent troops and attacked Hedong.
