Chapter 14 Liu Bei Asks for War
"Zhou Yu is quite famous this week, isn't it good?" The battlefield has been cleared, and the group has not returned to the city, and directly took the grain and grass to the road, Guan Hai glanced back at the direction of Shu County, and pouted disdainfully. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Gong shook his head: "Will not be angry and raise troops, Zhou Yu is worried about Shu County, rushed overnight, people are already sleepy, and lack of understanding of our army, and was raided by the lord, and was disturbed by the lord's words, will behave so badly, I think this person is quite disciplined in the use of soldiers, although the defeat is not chaotic before, it is rare to block the lord and the male general, if it is not for our army to take the lead, and there is the lord and the male general before he reacts, the enemy will be disrupted, this battle, even if it can be won, I'm afraid there will be a lot of price to pay. β
"Sir, how can you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?" Guan Hai looked at Chen Gongdao dissatisfied.
"What the public station says is the truth." Lu Bu sat on horseback, watched the scenery on both sides continue to regress, and said abruptly: "It's okay to despise the enemy, but you can't underestimate them, for generals, the most taboo is to raise troops out of anger, then you will fall into the trap of the enemy, Zhou Yu is a talent, but it's a pity that he is too young." β
Today's Jiangdong is full of vitality, whether it is Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, or those famous Jiangdong generals who will move the world in the future, they are still a little immature, if today's events are repeated in two years, I am afraid there will be no more such results, these people will grow up rapidly in the next troubled times.
Seeing Lu Bu speak, Guan Hai could only obediently close his mouth, but he didn't care about Chen Gong's words after all.
"Sister~" In the carriage, Xiao Qiao leaned on Da Qiao's arms in despair, outside the carriage, she didn't listen to the conversations of Lu Bu and others from time to time, at this moment she only knew that her idol was defeated, the man who seemed to know everything, was invincible, counted all the world, elegant and funny, lost to the big demon, and the huge contrast made her difficult to accept this fact for a while.
Diao Chan didn't say anything, people always have to go through a lot of things before they mature, she followed Lu Bu almost all over the entire Han Dynasty, ups and downs, she has suffered hardships, and she has enjoyed blessings, the only thing that remains unchanged is Lu Bu's consistent care, so she can understand Xiao Qiao's mood at the moment, but understanding, does not mean agree, she will not go to talk nonsense, but she will not help them, although the second daughter's experience is a little pitiful, but in this troubled world, there are too many poor people, in the final analysis, things are still provoked by their father first.
"Sister, don't cry." Da Qiao glanced at Diao Chan apologetically, and hugged Xiao Qiao softly and comforted him helplessly, but a girl of this age is the time when she loves fantasy the most, and when the dream is shattered, not everyone can quickly get strong from the blow.
The journey was undoubtedly dull and tedious, and the snow left over from the winter days on the roadside began to thaw slowly, making the post roads along the way muddy, and making LΓΌ Bu's march slow, incomparable to the wind that had come and gone before.
Compared with the small fights here, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the north has already kicked off head-on, but unfortunately, the stalemate situation imagined by the princes did not appear, and on the northern battlefield, Yuan Shu was almost beaten by Cao Cao.
Although Yuan Shu rebelled and left, there were a lot of soldiers under the account, enough to make up 100,000 numbers, but Yuan Shu is now in his hands, the most lacking is the leading general, in addition to Ji Ling is also a fierce general, Yuan Shu can't take the general who can take charge alone, a Ji Ling, in the face of many fierce generals under Cao Cao's account, it is also difficult to support alone, and he was soon defeated by Cao Cao's authority.
After seeking Lu Bu's help to no avail, he could only shrink his troops, let go city by city, and rely on city defense to make up for his lack of generals, but because of this, he completely lost the initiative and could only be beaten passively.
"Although Yuan Shu was defeated, but the background of the fourth and third princes is really rich, I don't know what good strategies the princes have to help me break the enemy?" Shang Cai, Cao Cao's Chinese army tent, Cao Cao rubbed his sideburns with a headache, Yuan Shu made up his mind to be a turtle with a shrunken head, so that Cao Cao could only be subdued by one city by one, although the victory has been decided, but the thirty-seven counties of Runan, although Yuan Shu has given up a lot of cities, but because of this, each city has a large number of soldiers to defend, Yuan Shu is now the most lacking is soldiers, so to fight, until Yuan Shu is destroyed, I am afraid it will take a year.
Not to mention that now Cao Cao's grain and grass are running out, even if there is enough grain and grass to consume with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao has no time to waste, recently Yuan Shao in the north has frequently transferred troops and sent generals, and Jizhou soldiers and horses have frequently begun to move to the Yellow River.
"The lord can send a general to lead a partial division, detour to attack Yuan's posterior, Yuan's posterior is empty, almost no one can defend, as long as our soldiers and horses appear under Shouchun City, Yuan Shu will definitely mobilize soldiers and horses back to the division, and our army can just take the opportunity to push the battle line to Shouchun City." Cheng Yu stroked his beard and smiled.
Cao Cao nodded silently, looked at the other strategists, and saw that no one could make a better proposal, so he looked at the generals under his account and said, "I don't know who can take on this important task." β
"The last will go!" Cao Cao's voice fell, Cao Ren, Xiahou brothers, Xu Huang, Li Dian and others came out to ask for battle, these days have been siege battles, and they are about to vomit.
Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile slightly, there were so many generals under his account, thinking of Yuan Shu's unlucky situation now, Cao Cao was a little happy, and was about to ask for a general, but saw Liu Bei stand up.
"Oh?" A flash of surprise flashed in Cao Cao's eyes: "Xuande also wants to fight?" β
Liu Bei nodded silently, and said in a deep voice: "Bei has received His Majesty's grace and received the title of official, but he has not made an inch, and his heart is really frightened, and he always feels that he has failed the emperor's grace. β
"Hmm~" Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei, his eyes flashed, if it was in the past, Liu Bei asked for war, he could naturally use other things to send away, but now the opponent is Yuan Shu, Liu Bei fights as the emperor's own family, the meaning of the representation is different, Yuan Shu arrogates the emperor, this is a provocation to the royal majesty, Liu Bei as a member of the royal family, this request is not too much, but if he is let out, Cao Cao will definitely not be at ease.
"What do you think?" Cao Cao looked at the group of strategists and asked.
Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Xuande Gong is concerned about the emperor's grace, and we admire it, but Xuande Gong has been in the dynasty for a short time, and he is inevitably unfamiliar with military affairs, so he can send a general to assist Xuande Gong and help Xuande Gong manage military affairs." β
"Good." When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and looked at Liu Bei with a smile: "What does Xuande think?" β
To put it bluntly, it's okay to fight, but the army is controlled by Cao Cao's people, even if Liu Bei wants to take the opportunity to rebel, he can't take the army away.
"Obey the Prime Minister's orders." Liu Bei didn't see any emotion on his face, but just respectfully said to Cao Cao.
"Okay." Cao Cao nodded and said: "Then take Xuande as the main general, and Che Zhou as the deputy general, although Xuande attacked Yuan Hou with surprise soldiers, I hope that Xuande can triumph as soon as possible, and I can ask Your Majesty for Xuande." β
"Prime Minister Xie." Liu Bei bowed deeply, hiding the excited joy in the depths of his eyes.
"This matter is decided, but the battle will continue to be fought, and only if we attract Yuan Shu's attention, Xuande's surprise attack will be successful." Cao Cao stood up and looked at everyone and smiled: "Let's go down and prepare." β
Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei out of the handsome tent and returned to his handsome tent, Zhang Fei finally couldn't help but say: "Big brother, you are now the emperor's uncle who is personally recognized by the emperor, why do you want to grovel to Cao Cao's dog?" β
"Yide, don't be rude to your eldest brother!" Guan Yu frowned.
"Aren't I just upset for my eldest brother!" Zhang Fei said sullenly.
"Yun Chang, Yide." After Liu Bei made sure that no one was eavesdropping outside the tent, his face was filled with joy, and he pulled the two of them to say: "Our opportunity has finally arrived." β
"Brother, what do you mean?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were puzzled.
"This time Cao Cao let us lead an army alone, it is a good opportunity for us to get rid of Cao Cao's control, stay in Xuchang, everything is monitored by Cao Cao, and we can't make a difference at all. Liu Bei waved his fist fiercely.
"But isn't there another car? With him, how could Cao Cao's army listen to us? Zhang Fei frowned.
"What's so hard about that?" Guan Yu stroked five locks of long hair, Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "Outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it, just find a reason to kill the chariot, and the army is naturally under our control." β
"Then don't fight Yuan Shu?" Zhang Fei frowned.
"Yuan Shu naturally wants to fight, but Che Zhou must also be killed, when Yuan Shu is killed, we will wait for the opportunity to stand on our own and fight against that Cao Mengde!" Guan Yu said indifferently.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Go and invite Xianhe and Gongyou to come, this matter still needs to be planned." β
