Chapter 2144: Reinforcements
Chapter 2144: Reinforcements (Page 1/1)
When the two sides fought a decisive battle, Liu Bei held the belief that he would win, and even if he failed, he had to live and die on the battlefield with the soldiers in the army, but when the defeat was really approaching, he had different thoughts, and he didn't want to die like this.
Once people see hope, they will not give up easily, and the counties in the south of Yizhou are the hope of Liu Bei's resurgence.
What worries Liu Bei is that the relationship between the Yizhou Prefecture and the southern counties was not very good, among the southern counties, there are many alien races, these alien races form their own unique forces, on the surface obey the orders of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, in fact, they have their own troops, and if they want the soldiers and horses of the southern counties to support Chengdu City, they need to pay a price.
Even if it is a huge price, as long as the Chang'an army can be defeated, it is worth it in Liu Bei's opinion, and now what Liu Bei needs most is the support of the army, there are not enough troops in his hands, and when he faced Lu Bu, he was a little panicked.
"Yun Chang doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." Liu Bei's voice was a little eager, Lu Bu's army might come to Chengdu City at any time, and although the soldiers and horses of Ruxian County were mobilized on the day of the decisive battle, there was no sign of returning to Chengdu City, which made Liu Bei even more worried.
"Big brother, the third brother died in battle, I don't know if this matter is true?" Guan Yu asked, the urgency of the war certainly worries him, but what he is most worried about is Zhang Fei's affairs.
Liu Bei sighed: "Yide led the army to block the enemy, and he didn't want to be defeated in the hands of Lu Bu and die on the battlefield. ”
"I will definitely avenge my third brother one day." Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Second brother, the most important thing at present is to hold Chengdu City, and the King of Jin led more than 30,000 elite soldiers to Chengdu City, and his heart is clear." Liu Bei was worried, Zhang Fei died on the battlefield, although he hated Lu Bu, but if he lost Yizhou, he would completely lose the capital to confront Lu Bu.
Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, now there are tens of thousands of troops in the city, and there are a lot of private soldiers in the hands of the family. ”
Liu Bei nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhuge Liang's statement, it is a very difficult thing to resist the elite under the command of the King of Jin with the army in the city, it can be seen from the battlefield of Fuguan that it is very difficult to resist the pace of the army of the King of Jin with the advantage of the city, the Chang'an army has a sophisticated thunderbolt, which can steadily suppress the strength of the defenders, which is also the most unfavorable side of Chengdu City, otherwise, only the soldiers and horses in the city are enough to resist the attack of the Chang'an army.
The defenders have a great shortage in numbers, which also causes difficulties in blocking the pace of the enemy, Liu Bei needs time, the counties in the south of Yizhou, there are many elite soldiers, if you want these elite soldiers to enter Chengdu City, it will take a while, and how to block the enemy's attack during this time has become the most critical thing.
"Kong Ming, tell me about the situation in the southern counties of Yizhou." Liu Bei said, if the matter did not reach the point of extreme urgency, Liu Bei would not want the soldiers and horses of the southern counties to be mixed into the war in Yizhou, the people in the south of Yizhou are extremely coveted by the more prosperous northern counties of Yizhou, and the officials in charge of the counties are also ambitious.
"Among the southern counties of Yizhou, Qianwei County, Qiqi County, Yuewang County, and Yizhou County are relatively independent, and the officials of the counties do not obey the orders of the state governor, this situation has lasted for many years, and among the southern counties, the strength of the Gaoding of Yuewang, Zhu Bao and Yizhou County is the most strong, especially the Gaoding of Yuewang County, which is known as the king of Yuewangyi, and has met many barbarian leaders, and the barbarians are brave and good at fighting...... "Zhuge Liang said.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei's face was not very good-looking, after these soldiers and horses entered Shu County, they would cause great harm to the people of Shu County, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"My lord, in the opinion of my subordinates, I only need the help of the soldiers and horses of Yuewang, Qiqi, and Yizhou County to resist the army of King Jin." Zhuge Liang said: "The lord promised to make heavy profits, and the soldiers and horses of the three parties will definitely not refuse."
Liu Bei said: "This matter was sent by Kong Ming to the southern counties to persuade the soldiers and horses of the three parties to come to the rescue, and after the matter is completed, there will definitely be a rich reward." ”
Zhuge Liang gave his hand and said, it is still a relatively simple thing to fool the soldiers and horses of the three parties to come to the rescue, such things as saving the driver, but it is a huge credit, no matter what kind of involvement the officials of the three parties have with the barbarians, they must want to get more credit, Liu Bei entered Yizhou not long ago, for the officials of the three parties to appease, and did not violate the interests of the three parties, it can be said that they are in a state of stalemate temporarily, but the officials of the three parties are not easy to do, after they asked for surrender, The officials appointed by the imperial court were extremely repulsive.
Now Yizhou is urgent, it is the time when these forces are needed, as long as the current crisis in Yizhou can be alleviated, even if it is a big price, it is worth it in Zhuge Liang's view, Chengdu City is the most important city in Yizhou, and the preservation of Chengdu City is of great significance to Yizhou, if Chengdu City is in the hands of Liu Bei, he is the lord of Yizhou, after the loss of Chengdu City, Liu Bei wants to do more in Yizhou again, it is impossible.
Lu Bu will not allow Liu Bei to continue in Yizhou, Zhuge Liang still understands this point, after the war between the two sides, it is a situation of endless death, and it is impossible to rely on the power of the imperial court to make Lu Bu submit, it is absolutely impossible, from Lu Bu's behavior, you can feel that Lu Bu's ambition has grown, after becoming the king, who doesn't want to go further, anyway, it has come to the opposite side of the Han Dynasty, you might as well be more decisive.
Zhuge Liang had to admit that in terms of the strength of the army under his command and the ability to lead the troops to fight, the generals of the Yizhou Army have a big gap compared to the generals under the command of Lu Bu, Lu Bu has risen from the princes step by step, and the generals under his command have gone through many battles, they have more experience in the face of war, and ordinary generals on the battlefield can have experience in battle, which has a vital impact on both sides of the decisive battle.
Although the number of Yizhou troops is large, there are many deficiencies in the experience of fighting, and they lack effective means in the face of difficult battles, just like Wu Yi, who is a famous general in Yizhou.
