Liu Bei sent troops to Yuzhou, and Cao Cao, who had returned to Xudu, hurriedly gathered his staff and generals together??? ?One? See?? Book? Look·y?K?A?N?S?H?U?· ＣＯＭ?

"Have you heard that Liu Xuande has sent troops?" Looking at the crowd, Cao Cao asked them.

"Liu Xuande only brought twenty or thirty thousand people, attacking Xudu, I really don't know what he thinks." Xiahou stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Duke Cao, the last general is willing to lead troops to exterminate Liu Xuande." ”

"Of course, it's best for Yuan to let Ken go." Cao Cao said: "You lead 100,000 troops, with Man Cheng as the deputy general, to face Liu Bei." ”

"The last general commands!" Li Dian stood up and received the military order with Xiahou.

Guo Jia pinched his chin and frowned slightly.

His eyes fell on his face, and Cao Cao asked, "Feng Xiao has something to say?" ”

"Cao Gong, I always feel that this matter is not so simple." Guo Jia said: "Compared with Xu Du, although Gongzi has a lot of soldiers and horses, it is easier to break through. For Liu Xuande, marching into the Lujiang River and gradually encroaching away is far better than running a long distance to fight Xudu. ”

"According to Fengxiao, what does Liu Xuande want to do?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia said: "I don't think he is trying to seize Xudu, he just wants to get some benefits from here and then leave." ”

"Profit?" Cao Cao asked, "What benefits can he get?" ”

"Contain Cao Gong and deceive Rampant Xi to send troops to Qingzhou." Guo Jia said: "I heard that Liu Bei sent Mi Zhu to see Rampant Xi before. As for what the two of them conspired to, although I don't know, I can guess that it must be planning to be unfavorable to the Cao family. Although Hebei is now in decline, it will definitely fall into the hands of Cao Gong in less than two years, but it is an excellent opportunity for Liu Xuande. ??? ?

"Go on.!" Cao Cao bowed and said.

"Stationed in Xinye, it is impossible for Liu Xuande to recruit too many soldiers and horses." Guo Jia said: "If he wants to be strong and strong, his only way is to ask for it from Liu Jingsheng." There is no war, why did Liu Jingsheng give him soldiers and horses? On this expedition, I think that Liu Bei is to contain Cao Gong and give the Yuan family a chance to breathe, and second, to get soldiers and horses from Liu Jingsheng and strengthen his own strength. ”

"According to Fengxiao, shouldn't I send someone to fight?" Cao Cao asked.

"Of course it should." Guo Jia said: "If Cao Gong doesn't send troops to fight, he will kill and loot less along the way and get more benefits." It's just that General Xiahou should know that this battle is not to completely annihilate the enemy army, but to intercept them and make it difficult for them to move an inch. When you meet the enemy army, you don't have to take the initiative to attack, just drag them. ”

"Dragging them?" Xia Hou said: "Could it be that you can see them coming to the boundary of Yuzhou? ”

"I heard that Pang Shiyuan also set off from Anhui City with his troops, and followed Liu Xuande." Guo Jia said: "As long as General Xiahou stops them, as soon as Pang Shiyuan arrives, the two armies will attack back and forth, and they will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on Liu Xuande." ”

"What Feng Xiao said is reasonable." Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded, and then instructed Xiahou: "Yuan Rang led the troops forward, don't engage Liu Bei, just drag him like that." When Pang Shiyuan comes, it's not too late to fight Liu Bei. ”

"Cao Gong rest assured." Xiahou received the military order.

At the end of the court meeting, Xiahou and Li Dian left side by side.

"General Li, Liu Bei is getting closer and closer to Xudu, and we can't afford to delay, so please ask the general to gather the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and go on the expedition with me immediately." Xiahou said to Li Dian.

"I'll go." Li Dian responded, and then asked Xiahou, "Where does the general plan to intercept Liu Bei?" ”

"Yuzhou is so big, where is it?" Xia Hou said: "Let's see what Liu Bei does first." ”

There was nothing wrong with Xiahou's statement, and Li Dian responded with a fist.

But he felt a little unsafe in his heart.

Judging from Xiahou's expression, he didn't seem to take Liu Bei in his eyes at all.

It's no wonder he behaved like that.

An army of 100,000 against 25,000 people, whoever looks at it will think that this battle has already been won or lost before it is fought.

Xiahou and Li Dian, who received the military order, led the army to march that night.

The queue out of the city was lined up in a neat formation, and due to the large number of people, the bluestone appeared and was trampled loudly when walking.

The army went out of the city, and many people ran out of their homes to see the excitement.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when it was dark, except for the road near Lingyun Pavilion, which was also noisy at night, there would be no more people on the other streets.

But when Xiahou and Li Dian went out of the city, the streets were full of people watching the excitement.

After years of fighting, it is not surprising that the soldiers go out to fight.

However, so many soldiers went out to fight, but it still aroused the curiosity of the people.

At that time, there was no developed technology, and the spread of news was very slow.

Liu Bei led his army to Yuzhou, except for Cao Cao and others, the people in Xudu City and even some officials could not get any information at all.

Riding a tall horse, Xiahou was triumphant when he went out of the city.

Li Dian, who was beside him, frowned slightly.

Xiahou is the main general, and the more proud he is, the greater the danger that the army will encounter when it goes on an expedition.

"General Li's face is unhappy, is it possible that he thinks this battle is not easy to fight?" Xiahou asked Li Dian.

"Yes and no." Li Dian said: "Liu Bei is not Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, although he only brought 25,000 people, he can't underestimate his strength. ”

Raising his face and laughing, Xia Hou said: "Man Cheng is too long, and his ambition will destroy his own prestige, and he has always fought battles, and the side with more people is more likely to win." Our army is four times the size of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, and if four people fight one, will it be possible to lose to him? ”

"I heard that Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang, known as Wolong, from Nanyang." Li Dian said: "Although this person has not made any achievements in the past, but there will be no vain under the fame, I think it is better to be cautious and safe." ”

"General Li rest assured." Xiahou said: "Cao Gong and Guo Fengxiao have both said that this time they want us to intercept Liu Bei. I already have an order, if it is not necessary, I will not easily engage Liu Bei. ”

When Xiahou said this, Li Dian was a lot more relieved.

Looking ahead, he asked Xiahou: "General Xiahou, our army went out of the city in the middle of the night, I don't know where the general plans to station?" ”

"Since you are out of the city in the middle of the night, march until sunset tomorrow." Xia Hou said: "The battle is important, we are still some distance away from Liu Xuande, and when we are about to approach, we will slow down the march and let the soldiers rest their feet." ”

"The general is thinking about it." Li Dian responded.

"Although our army is numerous, what General Li said is not unreasonable." Xia Hou said suddenly: "When I get close to Liu Bei, I will lead the army to intercept it, and General Li will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to follow behind, beware of the enemy army from behind." ”
