Two hundred and thirty troops were dispatched to Xiaopei
Sending troops to fight in ancient times was not the same as in modern times, because sending troops was very slow. After all, food has to be taken with you, and not a means of transport like airplanes like everything in modern times. You must know that in ancient times, it was very difficult to transport this grain alone, let alone rescue quickly. If it's your own territory, it's fine, but if it's someone else's territory, you must be careful. If the grain road is robbed, the blow to your side is simply not too big......
"General, the military situation is like fire. The two brothers of my lord are extremely brave, and maybe when the general goes, Xiao Pei will still be in the hands of the lord. Mi Zhu knew the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, those two people were really strong.
Zheng Du said calmly: "Zizhong can't be urgent, Lu Bu must know the news that you went out to rescue." If Liu Bei has been defeated at this moment, then Lu Bu will inevitably take precautions, if my lord and father take the cavalry to rescue quickly, what if he is ambushed at that time? If this is the case, forget if you don't send troops, once you send troops, you must be careful......" Zheng Du's character is calm, especially when he wants to march and fight.
Mi Zhu was just about to speak, Zheng Du said again: "Don't rush to send troops now, according to the time, the lord only needs to wait for three days, and after three days, decide again whether to send troops quickly or send the whole army." "Zheng Du just wants to see if Liu Bei comes, if Liu Bei doesn't come, he is ready to slow down the whole army, if Liu Bei comes, he is ready to send troops more slowly. Anyway, the city is already broken, so it doesn't matter how fast or slow......
No matter what others do, Liu Zhang must not be ambushed here. Otherwise, the plans for the second half of the year will be nullified, which will hurt the next action. This is the reason why Zheng Du is careful and careful. Once the ambush means the loss of troops, then Liu Zhang will lack defensive soldiers when he attacks Jiujiang in the future.
Mi Zhu was already speechless, and there was really no way if Zheng Du opposed him. He could only look at Liu Zhang in front of him, but at this time, Li Ru on the side came out and said: "Guangxiao is reasonable, marching and fighting is not child's play, especially when we are ready to save people." The lord can wait for two days, and by the way, he will gather his armament and prepare for departure. At that time, I thought that the lord could directly set off with the whole army, and then the lord could send Meng Qi to lead the army to the front to investigate. "What does Li Ru mean is that with a telescope, the place where the fear is hidden in the mountains and grass?
As Li Ru's words fell, everyone's eyes looked at Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang didn't feel right, this Li Ru and Zheng Du didn't seem to have anything to say, their own soldiers absolutely knew that they needed to be rearmament there? Afraid of ambushes where you can hope for a telescope? They deliberately didn't want to send troops?
Liu Zhang felt that he had probably figured out what the two people meant, that is, not to send troops so quickly, as for why it was estimated that Mi Zhu was embarrassed to say it. Liu Zhang thought about it and said: "Everyone who came here today is already scarce, rest for a night, I will decide tomorrow, Zizhong can come to the banquet in the evening......" Saying that, Liu Zhang took the lead and slipped away, and glanced at Zheng Du when he left.
Zheng Du understood it, and after everyone dispersed, Li Ru and Zheng Du were here in the back hall. Liu Zhang asked helplessly: "Guangxiao, what do you two think?" Liu Zhang could feel that it was definitely a pretext.
Zheng Du arched his hand and said: "The lord we must wait until Liu Bei is defeated before going, because he is defeated and he is not qualified to talk to the lord, and then the lord is giving Xuzhou to Liu Bei, how much kindness is this?" The icing on the cake is always better than sending charcoal in the snow. Zheng Du felt that since Liu Bei had been defeated, he should simply take advantage of it.
Li Ru arched his hand and said: "The most important thing is that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are not in harmony, if Liu Bei stays in Xuzhou at that time, it will be very interesting for Cao Cao." Although Liu Bei will not take refuge in the lord, the lord can use Liu Bei. "Looking at Liu Bei as a person, he has been down-and-out all the way but has never really taken refuge in anyone, this kind of person can only be used and cannot be subdued.
Liu Zhang pondered, it is indeed so. It is recorded in history that Liu Bei has already been defeated, so why not take advantage of it? If you have worked hard to run over, if you have been rescued, it is okay to say, if you have not been saved, wouldn't it be in vain? Maybe others still don't appreciate it, which is embarrassing. But if he gave Xuzhou to him or because of his own existence, it was not impossible for Cao Cao to let him guard Xuzhou, and it would feel different at that time......
"You two, okay, that's it, as for Mi Zhu, you will have Guangxiao to entertain you. If we send troops in three days...... "Since such a result has been finalized, then Liu Zhang will also approve it, anyway, Liu Zhang's impression of Liu Bei is not very good.
Liu Zhang would rather like a real villain than a hypocrite, especially since this hypocrite's ambition is not small. But he was about to meet Liu Bei, Liu Zhang really wanted to see why this poor and white character had fooled so many talents. If benevolence and righteousness are on the lips, there are so many people? Liu Zhang felt that he could unify the Han Dynasty......
In the evening, Liu Zhang set up a banquet to entertain Mi Zhu, how to say that he is also Mi Yueer's brother, and he has to look at the face of the Buddha if he does not look at the face of the monk. The food on the table was even better than what he had eaten in the past two days, I originally thought that the food in Wu Yi's mansion was already delicious, but I didn't expect Liu Zhang's food here to be even better?
Before the banquet, Zheng Du had already talked with Mi Zhu, not that Liu Zhang didn't want to send troops, but that the soldiers were tired from afar, and if they rushed to send troops, they would be tired. This reason is really powerful, there is no way, others are already very tired from Chang'an to Wancheng, if they are eager to send troops, the combat effectiveness is basically gone......
Mi Zhu accepted Liu Zhang's invitation with mixed feelings, there were many people in attendance, has Liu Zhang's subordinates gathered so many strategists and generals? Not to mention anything else, just looking at the temperament, these strategists are all extraordinary. Whether it is Li Ru in front, the legendary strategist who is famous for poison, or the seemingly breezy Zheng Du next to Liu Zhang, Mi Zhu can clearly feel their intelligence......
He originally thought that Liu Bei was a rare benevolent lord, but looking at this Liu Zhang, whether it was his words or the afternoon's deliberations, it showed that he was a monarch who was good at listening to opinions. What's more, his two major advisers were against sending troops, and he didn't decide on the spot not to send troops, which was to take care of his face. It's terrible to be so thoughtful, and it's a bit scary that he thinks about one thing very thoroughly......
It is better to say that it is a banquet to cheer up Mi Zhu before the war, and this meal is to cheer up a few generals. Although it is not necessary, it is still necessary to relax before the war, and in the next year, I will have to fight non-stop, what kind of banquet will there be time there? The three tigers of the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce, were relatively powerful figures in the early stage. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are a bit difficult, so I will first cripple the tiger who likes to rely on natural dangers, and then I will have time to watch the show happily without this most disgusting guy......
A banquet originally thought that there would be something to see, but it turned out that there was only the sound of everyone eating Haisai, or the sound of Liu Zhang and a few generals fighting wine, what was the discussion there? Do you say that they don't eat with deliberations? Shouldn't the normal script be before the banquet starts, Liu Zhang has to say something first? Why do you just start eating it now?
Zheng Du on the side raised his wine glass and said to Mi Zhu: "My lord's banquet is never discussed. To eat is to eat, and to discuss is to deliberate. Zizhong doesn't need to be surprised, the food here is very delicious, but it is necessary to taste it well. "Although it is slightly inferior to Chang'an's, Wu Yi has been operating here for so long and already has the appearance of Chang'an.
Liu Bei really didn't come three days later, so it seems that Liu Bei should have gone to Cao Cao and left. Speaking of which, Liu Zhang is quite disappointed, compared to Cao Cao's own power, it should be greater, right? Nominally, he has four states, but in fact he owns nearly five states, but Liu Bei still doesn't look down on himself? That Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero, much less than his own territory, but Liu Bei still looks up to him? Is this a heroic sympathy?
"Zizhong, don't worry, Liu Bei will definitely go to Cao Cao, it's safe here." Thinking of Liu Bei's performance as a disaster star, Liu Zhang felt that it was better not to come. In case he was implicated by Liu Bei, wouldn't he have nowhere to complain?
Mi Zhu smiled bitterly: "General, please send troops quickly, right?" Mi Zhu didn't know what to say, but in the past two days, he saw that Liu Zhang had a group of capable subordinates and a lazy lord. So many shrewd and capable subordinates, but with such a lazy lord. If so many shrewd subordinates are all attributed to their own lords, I am afraid that great things can be accomplished.
Cao Cao's meritocracy, Liu Bei's nepotism, Mi Zhu thought he saw Liu Bei clearly, but did he really see it clearly? There are so many people under Liu Zhang, whether it is Yuzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yongzhou, or all over the place, so if Liu Bei uses it, can he really give full play to their talents?
Modern people pay attention to a person who performs his own duties, that is, he can do whatever he can, but it is different with Liu Bei, and only Zhuge Liang's all-round talent can be involved in everything. But in fact, Zhuge Liang's talent is more reflected in governance than in the military. This Pang Tong is definitely more powerful than Zhuge Liang, the so-called Wolong and Phoenix Chicks should have been one inside the main and one outside the main body. But in fact, Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang as his military advisor, but he worshipped Pang Tong as his military advisor, doesn't this just want the two of them to show their superiority? How can one of them be killed?
The army sorted out and set off, Liu Zhang originally planned to leave Ma Yunlu in Wancheng, but he was worried that Wu Yi would not be able to look at this little girl, so he would simply take it with him. Anyway, he is definitely in a safe position, and if even he is in danger, then I am afraid that he has already been defeated. However, the person who can defeat himself is definitely not Lu Bu, so Liu Zhang set off with Ma Yunlu with peace of mind......
