Chapter 754: The Liu family takes refuge

Liu Yi clenched his fists and said: "King, my subordinates think this matter can be done." ”

"Okay, the lieutenant general of the herald army, and in three days, he will fight to the death with the Youzhou army." Gongsun Kangdao.

After reading the war book from the city, Lu Bu wondered in his heart, why did the Liaodong army give up the advantages of the city, go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with his own side, thinking of Yuan Shao's bed crossbow to support Liaodong, Lu Bu showed a clear look, the bed crossbow can indeed change the situation of a war, but it also depends on who the opponent is, there is a bed crossbow in Liaodong, how can there be a lack of such sharp weapons in the Youzhou army, the reason why it is not shown is because there is no place to use the bed crossbow for the time being, although the bed crossbow can also suppress the defenders to a certain extent, but compared to the boulder, the consumption of the bed crossbow is too great.

"When I go back, tell Gongsun Kang that Benhou will collect his body outside the city." Lu Budao.

Three days later, after the news of the decisive battle with the Liaodong Army in the east of the city spread in the army, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army were all talking, and more people were excited, only when the war was there, they had military merits to take, in their eyes, the Liaodong Army was vulnerable, which was reflected in the time of Changli City, and now the Liaodong Army went out of the city to fight a decisive battle, and they were more confident.

Late at night, a mysterious guest came to the Youzhou army.

"Who are you?" Lu Bu wondered.

Dian Wei stood beside the person who came, looking vigilant.

The person who came arched his hand and said: "Liaodong Liutai." ”

Lu Bu had already recognized Liu Tai when he saw that Liu Tai was going to the army as an envoy from Liaodong, Liu Tai was a famous figure in Liaodong, and he went to the Youzhou army late at night, he was definitely not a lobbyist, maybe the opportunity to capture Xiangping was on the body of the Liu family.

The Youzhou army has 20,000 people, and the Liaodong army also has 20,000 people, even if the Liaodong army loses in the decisive battle, there are still cities to defend, and Liaodong is the base camp of the Gongsun family.

"This time I came here for the Marquis of Jin to be able to seize Liaodong." Liu Tai said directly.

"The Liu family in Liaodong is quite appreciated by the Gongsun family, why did the Liu family make such a choice?" Lu Bu asked.

After a moment of silence, Liu Tai said slowly: "The Liu family took refuge in the Marquis of Jin, and it was also forced by the Gongsun family, the Liu family and Gongsun Kang had some grudges in the past, Gongsun Kang did not become the king of Liaodong, he secretly said that he would do something to the Liu family in the future, thinking of my Liu family, and making great contributions to the Gongsun family, but I didn't expect that in turn, the Gongsun family would treat the Liu family like this, how could the Liu family be arrested." ”

Lu Bu nodded slightly, Liu Tai was able to go to the army in person, which showed that this matter was true, even if Liu Tai wanted to deceive him, it didn't make much sense, and the Liu family's choice of him this time probably had a lot to do with what happened in Changli.

However, the Liu family's choice is because of Gongsun Kang's attitude, and Liu Tai is not hypocritical at this point, if Liu Tai says something like admiring the Jin Marquis, it will make Lu Bu feel that this person is hypocritical.

"The Liu family can have such a choice, Ben Hou is very pleased, but the Liu family also knows what the family under Ben Hou is like." Lu Bu reminded.

"Since you have chosen to take refuge in the Marquis of Jin, everything is under the orders of the Marquis of Jin." Liu Tai is a smart person, only by making the other party feel that his position is firm, can he seek more benefits for the family in the future, what is the situation of the family under Lu Bu, Liu Tai is clear, but it is still a lifesaver for the dying Liu family, and there are Jin wine, Jin paper, divine glass and other things in the state, as long as you are willing, the Liu family is still a pivotal family in Liaodong, Lu Bu has just occupied Liaodong, and he will definitely collect the family to settle Liaodong.

"I wonder what your plans are?" Lu Budao, he knew that Liu Tai had a great reputation in Liaodong and was good at resourcefulness.

"This time, Gongsun Kang decided to fight to the death with the Marquis of Jin, and he also obeyed his words." Liu Tai said: "If the Liaodong Army goes out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Youzhou Army, there will definitely be a defender left in the city, even if the Liaodong Army wins, it will be difficult for Gongsun Kang to return to the city, why worry that Xiangping can't be broken." ”

Lu Bu squinted at Liu Tai, as if he wanted to find something omission from the sworn Liu Tai, and with Liu Tai persuading him, it was reasonable for Gongsun Kang to go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the Youzhou army.

"Okay, just act like this, Liaodong Taishou will be the people of the Liu family in the future." Lu Bu directly promised that Liu Tai was a native of Liaodong and had a better understanding of the situation in Liaodong, even if Liu Tai became the Taishou of Liaodong, Lu Bu believed that he would not dare to come nonsense, and after the officials of the Inspectorate entered Youzhou, it was the time for the officials of Youzhou to rein.

At that time, even if the Liu family wants to rebel, it will be difficult to do, Lu Bu for the army under his rule, what he needs is control, even if it is Liu Tai, he can't easily mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city, only with Liu Tai and other civil officials, if the rebellion can be successful, it is a strange thing, it can be said that as long as you get on the boat of the Marquis of Jin, it is very difficult to go down.

From the point of view of choice, Liu Tai is a smart person, and working with such a person saves a lot of trouble, and they know how to make trade-offs.

After secretly returning to the city, Liu Tai began his plan, and with the secret support of the Liu family, Lu Bu was more confident in winning.

Three days later, twenty miles east of the city, the battlefield had already been swept clean, the terrain was flat, and there was no hiding place nearby.

There were 3,000 soldiers and horses left in the city by Gongsun Kang, and Liu Tai, as the head of the civil officials, was left behind in the city.

At the time of the decisive battle, the Youzhou army also reached 15,000 people, of which the number of cavalry reached more than 3,000.

The first to appear in front of the two armies was the dense bed crossbow, which could have a better effect by replacing the suppression of the archers.

Gongsun Kang was shocked when he learned that the bed crossbows in the Youzhou army had reached 100, and he was shocked that when he faced the Youzhou army, his side had always been in a weak position, whether it was a scout or a cavalry, the Youzhou army's control of the situation on the battlefield was beyond the reach of the Liaodong army.

Even the scouts in Xiangping City did not dare to leave the city too far, and there were Sun Archers and Flying Eagle soldiers on the battlefield, which was the nightmare of the scouts of the Liaodong Army.

"Herald the Imperceptible, aim for the opponent's bed crossbow." Gongsun Kang ordered, as long as the bed crossbow of the Youzhou army can be destroyed, this battle will be won, the power of the bed crossbow is undoubted, as long as the bed crossbow is used to defeat the formation of the Youzhou army, the cavalry will rush up, why not win.

In front of the battle array, Zhang Liao stared at the bed crossbow on the opposite side with blazing eyes, he knew the bed crossbow of the Jizhou army, and it was not as good as his own in range, Gongsun Kang had such a plan, and Lu Bu also had it.

"Beat the drums!" Lu Bu ordered.

The rumbling war drums sounded, and the soldiers on both sides cautiously approached each other.
