Chapter 109: The Rise of Liu Bei

I have to say that Liu Bei does know how to seize the opportunity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the official history, when he served as the minister of the plains, he would rather give up the plains than go south to Qingzhou to rescue. In the end, the plain was naturally occupied by Yuan Shao, but he got Kong Rong's favor, and finally took the opportunity to go south to rescue Tao Qian, and then accepted his gift to become the new Xuzhou Thorn History.

Needless to say, in Xudu, he took the opportunity to mix up an imperial uncle, and then took advantage of the edict incident to recapture Xuzhou; After that, he took refuge in Liu Biao, but with the help of the alliance with Dongwu, he occupied the four counties of Jingnan; Taking advantage of the turmoil in Hanzhong, he entered Bashu and occupied Yizhou by the way. No matter how many excuses and reasons he has, there is no way to deny it, Liu Bei does know how to seize opportunities, and to put it mildly, he is a professional who engages in speculation!

This didn't see Liu Xie's depressed appearance, and mentioned Lu Bu's problem, according to his understanding of Lu Bu's current situation, even if he couldn't beat him, he had to belittle Lu Bu first.

It just so happened that this move did attract ten-year-old Liu Xie, whether Liu Bei was bluffing or really confident, it really made him curious, so he further asked: "But I don't know what countermeasures Senior Brother has?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Bei took the opportunity to bow respectfully, but there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, "Lu Bukong has an army of 500,000, but they are all untouchables who temporarily joined the army. These people were almost untrained, and a large number of people filled them, which greatly weakened the power of Lu Bu's army.

If when they were in Jiujiang County, they were still a rare strong army in the world, then now, there is not much difference between them and the Yellow Turban thieves in the past. What is there to fear when dealing with such a rabble? ”

Liu Xie thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. When Lu Bu had just captured Jiujiang County, his army was indeed very strong at that time, and it was composed of the elite of the Han Republic. But now that so many people have been mixed in, perhaps relying on the tactics of the sea of people to commit murder, it is essentially much weaker than when Jiujiang County was in Jiujiang County.

"The key is logistics supply, Lu Bu burned and looted all the way, which can indeed obtain a lot of grain, grass and money for him, but the large army of 500,000 people, the daily consumption of grain and grass is incalculable.

However, they have caused too much harm to the local area, so that the subsequent grain and grass supplements are insufficient. As long as they block their way somewhere and drag them for ten days and half a month, then Lu Bu's army will inevitably face a shortage of food.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have been short of food for a long time, and they will collapse on their own without even our own hands. Even if they only need to wait for a riot due to lack of food, our army will suddenly cover up the past, and the other party will inevitably collapse completely!

At that time, we will take the opportunity to expand the results of the war, and we will inevitably be able to recover Qingzhou, and even recover a lot of Xuzhou's territory. Liu Bei gave Liu Xie a little room to think, of course, more after sorting out his own ideas, he officially offered his plan.

"Okay, it's worthy of being a senior brother, and he's really capable!" Liu Xie clapped his hands and looked at Liu Bei excitedly, "If Senior Brother commands the army, how many people will it take to defeat Lu Bu?" ”

"All you need is a few thousand troops, equipped with more than a thousand big yellow crossbows, and you will be able to break the thief army! If there are another 3,000 cavalry, I can't say that I can still leave Lu Bu's head! Liu Bei said solemnly.

"Just a few people?" Liu Xie didn't expect that Liu Bei would only need a few thousand people.

"Of course, you also need the troops of the imperial court to cooperate from the side, otherwise Xuande can't do anything!" Liu Bei added.

"Okay, I can convene a parliament and discuss this matter immediately!" Liu Xie nodded and left immediately. During this period, he also asked a little about the situation of the big man, only to know that it turned out to be Liu Bei's brother-in-law, so he should also go to war with the army, right?

It's a pity that it's not an ordinary officer, otherwise you can fight for it and use it for him!

Finally, he found a eunuch to check the ancestral genealogy to see if Liu Bei was in the genealogy. You must know that even after King Jing of Zhongshan, that descendant actually has new clansmen who report every year, especially the descendants and clansmen with titles. These are all managed by Zongzheng, and after Liu Xie heard that Liu Bei was the king of Zhongshan, he naturally took a look to see if he was really a member of the Han family.

But he didn't want to check, but the little yellow door next to him said that there was no one named Liu Bei in the family tree.

Liu Xie is not surprised, there are many liars who pretend to be relatives of the Han family in recent years, and the key is that Liu Bei is not a pure liar. The liar is a white wolf with empty gloves, and he wants to gain benefits with empty mouth and white teeth; But Liu Bei is different, he has real talent and learning, and the key is useful to him Liu Xie, so naturally he can't be regarded as a liar......

"Immediately write Liu Bei on the family tree!" Liu Xie thought about it and ordered.

This was originally not in line with the rules, but the emperor naturally spoke on the genealogy matter, so Zongzheng's side naturally would not have any opinions. The key is that the gate valves, in fact, there are more or less local families with the same surname, income families, as a side line and then strengthen their own habits, so Liu Bei was absorbed into the Han family, in fact, it is not abrupt.

So the matter was implemented, and with the convening of the Congress, Liu Xie recommended Liu Bei to unify the army and told his plan. When Yuan Kui asked Liu Bei who he was and whether he was credible, Liu Xie pretended to ask Liu Bei if he had a background?

Liu Bei saw that Liu Xie gave him a look, and immediately declared in public that he was the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan. This did attract many people's doubts, but Liu Xie instructed the eunuch to take out the genealogy and read it out in person.

Liu Bei didn't expect that this eunuch actually read his name, in other words, his impostor was actually on the Han family tree, and he was immediately surprised, but he didn't pretend.

"It turns out that Xuande is my imperial uncle!" Liu Xie pretended to calculate, and finally suddenly realized, got up and shouted. In this way, Liu Bei's identity naturally got a formal, serious Han clan of eight hundred, and his roots were red.

Then Liu Bei is naturally trustworthy, the only question is that the family has finally taken away the military power from the emperor, and now the emperor is supporting his people to lead the army, does he plan to regain power?

This is indeed a sense of crisis for many people, but it is said that Liu Xie's selection of the unified army is only a recommendation, and whether they want to use it is another matter. But if there are only thousands of troops, it is really nothing, the current republic can indeed get such a sum of money, the key is whether to let Liu Bei take the throne.

The discussion was inconclusive for the time being, and after going back, all the councilors, or all the gate valves, were searching for this guy named Liu Bei to see what his background was and why he was able to gain Liu Xie's trust.

The result is: Liu Bei was born recklessly, and may have something to do with King Jing of Zhongshan, but in fact he is a weaver and a peddler. Rising in Weimo, the key is that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been neutralized, and they are Lu Zhi's disciples, so they can be regarded as their own people.

The identity of the royal family was obviously deliberately done by Liu Xie in order to win over Liu Bei, but Liu Bei actually has nothing to do with the royal family. This is easy to do, as long as he is interested, he may not be able to command the troops, so the next day many gate valves changed their tone.

Liu Bei successfully commanded the troops and was named the rear general, which was originally Yuan Shu's military position, but who let Yuan Shu hang up? The army numbered five thousand, of which 2,000 cavalry, five hundred crossbowmen and two thousand five hundred foot soldiers. The key is that the weapons and equipment are good, don't wronged him!

Liu Bei is also sensible, the gate valve gave him good treatment, and he also went to visit. In fact, everyone can see that the current political system of the Han Republic is mainly concentrated in the hands of the 'propertied people' such as the family gatekeepers.

As for His Majesty the Emperor, it is basically a mascot, but because of this mascot, everyone does not need to compete for any emperor. After all, according to the latest audit results, the annual use of the royal family is actually the use of only one large family. A super country that occupies Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sili and Liangzhou, its emperor can only enjoy the use of a large family, which is actually enough to cheat the father. It's really not interesting to be such an emperor.

This may be the real joy of everyone, and although I don't want to admit it, the Republic of China has indeed made a lot of efforts behind this. At least under the lure of Yang Lang, the former Yang Ci presided over the establishment and evolution of the republic.

Liu Bei knows the general, so the family naturally welcomes this brand-new family to join the councilors. No matter how powerful Liu Bei is, it doesn't really matter, after all, the parliament will not be affected by one force. Liu Bei only has one vote of power, and this vote is insignificant in the composition of the huge parliamentarians.

After the logistics supply was completed, the soldiers and horses were also briefly trained. Seeing that Lü Bu had begun to attack Dongjun and launched a liberation movement in the local area, Liu Bei could not continue to stay in Luoyang, so he quickly gathered his men and began to set out on an expedition.

At present, the troops that can be mobilized in the Han Republic are actually only Gongsun Zhan's 20,000 troops, as well as Liu Bei's thousands of troops. At most, Zhu Jun only fought soy sauce on the front line, and basically had no combat effectiveness; Han Sui also wanted to guard Chang'an, just because recently in Hanzhong, the Shu Han army had actually gathered, and the troops dominated by Wu Lan seemed to plan to attack Sizhou in the north.

Obviously, Shu Han's side also saw that the Han Republic was now hurting its muscles and bones, so it planned to fish in troubled waters. Fortunately, Han Sui, as well as Huchuquan Shan Yu of the Southern Huns, have arrived in Chang'an, and it is not easy for the other party to go north!

It's just that in this way, it directly leads to the fact that there are less than 40,000 troops on the front line, and he has to face the 500,000 army of Lu Bu, in fact, Liu Bei's pressure is very great.

Even many people are worried that if Liu Bei also fails, then where should the Han Republic go? Should he take refuge in Lü Bu, or should he use the Tiger Pass and the Yellow River as the basis to fight Lü Bu to the end?

Liu Bei naturally knew that he was under a lot of pressure, but fortunately, he had nothing to lose, even if he failed, it would be the same thing. It's really not good, just enter Bashu to take refuge in Liu Wei.

Otherwise, it's not bad to go south to take refuge in Liu Yan. As for Lu Bu of the Huaxia Republic, the latter can be wronged if he really can't do it, but the former can't, and he doesn't have a good impression of Li Yu at all. And his sixth sense also told him that Li Yu seemed to be on guard against him all the time, although he didn't know why this was happening, but it didn't feel good to be guarded against!

The worst-case scenario was already set, but he didn't plan to lose. As Lü Bu entered Dongjun, his supply lines were further lengthened, and the poor transportation and large number of troops made them actually only able to move at a speed of twenty miles a day, and the daily consumption of food was astronomical.

Can win! Liu Bei is very confident, as long as he can block Lu Bu for five days, then there is a great possibility that he can win! And Lu Bu naturally knew this, so he had to keep winning, and then gradually reduce the number of troops. At the end of the day, both of them are betting against each other, betting that they can win!

Three days later, Liu Bei entered Yanzhou and began to carry out emergency arming! (To be continued.) )
