Chapter 203: The battle begins again

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't agree, it's true, this ...... Think, my lord! Guo Jia also followed the persuasion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that his two important advisers were dissuading him, Zhang Zai sighed in his heart, sure enough, the limitations of the times are still their shackles, even Wang Meng and others are no exception.

"You say, how literate are the lieutenant colonels and lieutenants now?" Zhang Zai ignored their advice and asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Guo Jia couldn't answer, and finally said stubbornly: "I'm afraid that nearly eighty percent of people are illiterate." ”

"Ninety percent." Zhang Zai said that these days, he sent people to count the literacy of all military captains, including low-ranking officers below the rank of captain, and as a result, ninety percent of them were illiterate, which shocked Zhang Zai very much.

"You say that when there is a melee on the battlefield, a group of officers who are familiar with military books and know how to cooperate, and a group of officers who are illiterate in big words, their army has a stronger survivability?"

"Of course, it's an officer who knows how to cooperate." Before Wang Meng and the others could answer, several generals on the side replied in unison.

They undoubtedly have a better say on this issue.

Wang Meng and the others turned their brains quickly, and soon understood Zhang Zai's intentions, the two glanced at each other and nodded, Zhang Zai's words gave them an inspiration, if all the generals of the Tang State were literate and everyone knew the art of war, then the combat effectiveness of the Tang State army would rise to a higher level.

Originally, the population of the Tang State was insufficient, and it could not withstand the attrition, so it could only take the route of elite soldiers, which is also what the Tang State was doing at present, so it was necessary to increase the training of middle and lower-level officers.

The next day, under the auspices of Zhang Zai, the lecture hall officially broke ground, the newly established lecture hall, by Zhang Zai as the sacrificial wine, the army general as the lecturer, the local commander and above the officers took turns to return to the lecture hall, for a three-month study.

In this way, time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and after two years of recuperation, the Tang State had returned to its peak state, and the treasury was full, enough for them to fight a big war.

Zhang Zai, who has always been paying attention to finances, finally couldn't help the idea of wanting to expand in his heart during the court discussion, and said: "Zhongqing, after two years of cultivation, I decided to raise troops to attack Hedong and expand the territory. ”

Zhang Zai had already asked their opinions, and now that the Tang Kingdom wants to expand, there are only two ways, one is to take Youzhou and take the opportunity to seize Jizhou and destroy the Jin State, and the other is to go south to Hedong and capture the Sili region.

And the opinion of Wang Meng and others is naturally to take Hedong.

The Hedong region, as the gateway to the south of the Tang Kingdom, has always been in the hands of others, and before, Zhang Zai has been entangled with Yuan Shao, there is no time, and there is no name to send troops, now that the Han family is dead, and the world has returned to the Warring States Period, he has no scruples.

Now, the Tang soldiers are strong and strong, and they have time, so they naturally want to take Hedong, and when the time comes, they can attack and retreat, and they are invincible.

As for Li Dao and Guo Yan, who are now occupying the Hedong region, Zhang Zai has never taken them seriously, and as for Li and Guo, Zhang Zai does not plan to go out in person.

"Sent an edict to Li Jing, ordering him to personally lead 30,000 elite soldiers to send troops to Hedong, and be sure to take the entire territory of Hedong, Zhao Yun is the deputy general, and the rest of the people must ensure their logistical supply."

After hearing this, Wang Meng and the others glanced at each other, and at the same time bowed down and said, "Obey Jun's order"

At the same time, in an inconspicuous corner of Xuzhou, Li Ru, dressed in black, was also standing in a courtyard, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"Are you sure?" Li Ru's eyes were as cruel as a poisonous snake, and he looked at the spy kneeling in front of him and asked.

This spy was also wrinkled with goosebumps when Li Ru saw it, and he shuddered slightly, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and said directly: "This is done by the humble position personally, and it is accurate." ”

"That's good, if something goes wrong, watch your head." Li Ru glanced at him, then looked away, and snorted lightly: "Go down." ”

The spy was relieved, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, he really didn't want to appear in front of Li Ru, that gaze like a poisonous snake was really scary.

After the guards left, Li Ru looked at the sky in the distance and said to himself: "Lu Bu, your end is coming, I hope you can live." ”

The direction of his gaze was Xiao Pei, who was stationed by Lu Bu, and then snorted coldly, turned around and entered the house, and after a while, Li Ru shouted directly in the house: "Someone!" ”

"What do you command?" The guard at the door came in and said that he was Li Ru's confidant and had been responsible for Li Ru's safety.

"You leave immediately, and quickly hand over this letter to Cao Cao, the king of Wei." Li Ru handed him the written letter and instructed: "Remember, it must be personally delivered to the King of Wei." ”

"No!"

……

At the same time, the palace of the king of Lu.

The eunuchs and guards around him have already been dismissed by Liu Bei, at this moment he is sitting on the throne, scanning the magnificent palace, the pride in his eyes is undisguised, and his heart is also extremely satisfied, a few years ago, this was a day he couldn't imagine, but he didn't expect that now it has really come true.

Thinking about it, Liu Bei's eyes gradually blurred, and he didn't know what he remembered, and there was a dreamlike laugh in his mouth, which looked extremely harsh in the empty court.

Suddenly, Liu Bei frowned, opened his eyes, looked at the open space on the side, and showed a burst of disgust in his eyes, which was the position of the military general.

If there is anything he is dissatisfied with now, it is the great general Lu Bu, he and Lu Bu have always been inseparable and use each other, and Lu Bu also listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, often confronting him in front of everyone, making him unable to get off the stage, and even making a fool of himself in public.

Now, their relationship has dropped to the freezing point, and even the subordinates on both sides are the same, there is no trace of the intimacy that a friendly army should have with each other, but there is a feeling of not getting along with each other, and as for digging each other's walls, it is even more common.

As time passed, he became more and more interested in power, and he was extremely greedy for the soldiers and horses in Lu Bu's hands, which were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, so his dislike for Lu Bu became more and more serious, and now, he felt that he could no longer tolerate Lu Bu.

Liu Bei shook his head and expelled the thoughts in his heart, now is not the time to make a move on Lu Bu, he still has to rely on Lu Bu and the iron cavalry under his command to resist Cao Cao in the west.

However, he Liu Bei was not idle, and rewarded the generals under Lu Bu many times, wanting to divide and disintegrate Lu Bu's forces, and now he has some results, although he has not won over the main generals in Lu Bu's army, but there are many captains who have a close relationship with Liu Bei.

Thinking of Lu Bu's unrivaled wolf ride, Liu Bei's eyes were hot for a while, but unfortunately he couldn't reach it, and the few people sent out were discovered by Lu Bu and all of them were killed.
