828.Chapter 828 Liu Bei, Cao Pi Communist Alliance
"King Zhao, there is still something I need to report to you." After everyone finished speaking, they suddenly saw Zhuge Dan stand up and say again. However, judging from his expression, it seems that there is something important on his mind.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but comfort Zhuge when he saw Zhuge Dan like this: "Lord Zhuge Dan has something to say, there is no need to be restrained. ”
I only heard Zhuge Dan say: "According to the report from our army's outpost in Jingzhou, after Cao Pi led troops and horses to join the alliance with Liu Bei's army, Cao Pi and Liu Bei secretly discussed and sent someone to Jingzhou, since Sun Quan was encouraged to become the emperor and form an alliance with him. Afterwards, Sun Quan was actually bewitched by this, and officially announced that he was the emperor, founded the country of Eastern Wu, and now the three armies, it should be said that now the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu have officially formed an alliance. The three kingdoms intend to fight our army together, and want to overthrow the current Han world, and once our Han is defeated, they will divide our world. ”
"What? There is such a thing. As soon as Zhuge Dan's words fell, everyone in the room fell into a look of surprise, but Zhao Yu looked calm. Everyone just talked about it, and most of the topics pointed to Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, but more of them were angry at Sun Quan's injustice.
"This damn Sun Quan really ate the heart of a bear and a leopard, and he actually became the emperor at the instigation of Cao Pi and Liu Bei to fight against my Han, which is really hateful." After Liu Xie finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yu, who was indifferent on the side, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Big brother, this kid Sun Quan has become the emperor, aren't you angry at all?" Now, the three of them clearly want to go against our army, so can we just watch them arrogant. If you swallow this breath, I can't swallow this breath, and I must teach them a good lesson. ”
Liu Xie's words this time were also the words in the hearts of the heavy generals, but after Liu Xie finished speaking, the heavy generals responded in unison, intending to ask Zhao Yu for war and conquer the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.
"Sun Quan is the emperor, of course I am angry, but after I am angry, I don't feel anything. In my opinion, it is a matter of time before Sun Quan becomes emperor, but I never thought that Sun Quan would be emperor at such a critical time, which is really a bit idiotic. ”
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and then said again: "Now Cao Pi and Liu Bei are secretly plotting rebellion, intending to overthrow the centuries-old Han foundation, which is a great rebellion. All the people of the Han Dynasty wanted to denounce these two, and Sun Quan originally joined forces with this king to conquer Cao Pi and Liu Bei. Now that he has joined forces with these two guys in turn, doesn't this mean telling the people of the world that he Sun Quan is also a rebellious thief. Originally, I was still struggling with how to send troops to conquer Jiangdong, but now that I can't think of an army to fight him, it's difficult for me, do you all think this is the truth. ”
After Zhao Yu said this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize, except for the trial and Zhuge Dan, the rest of them responded one after another. Looking at the actions of the two, Zhao Yu had already guessed that in the hearts of the two, I am afraid that he had already applauded Sun Quan for being the emperor at this time.
Recalling that when Cao Zhang led the Shu army and horses to Wudu to rescue the intercepted Wei army, Liu Bei personally led the men and horses to the junction of Yizhou and Hanzhong to meet the fallen Cao Pi and other generals.
After this battle, the Wei army suffered a lot of losses, especially some of the original Wei generals almost all defected, and only some of the henchmen fled to Hanzhong with Cao Pi. In the entire Wei generals, only Xiahou Dan, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Cao Zhen, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu remained, and those ministers were only Sima Yi, Xun You, and Liu Ye. Moreover, only those generals are left, which are only second-rate characters, and the rest of the generals are third-rate characters who can't be explained. Those men can only lead troops to fight with them, but they are not capable of leading an army to engage the enemy on their own.
However, what made Liu Bei personally greet him was that those first-class generals were peerless generals comparable to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong of the Second Army, and their ministers were also capable ministers who were not inferior to the Second Army's Fazheng and Zhuge Liang, and the most important thing was that Cao Pi brought a lot of money and materials and 70,000 Wei troops this time, most of which were cavalry.
You must know that Liu Bei's life has been bumpy, and many deaths and defeats are all due to weak soldiers and horses, from the beginning of seeing Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Zhao Yu's White Tiger Cavalry. Those cavalry crisscrossed the battlefield, like a tiger entering a flock, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Second Army, and Liu Bei was heartbroken and excited to see it.
However, after Liu Bei occupied the four counties of Jingzhou, and now after moving and occupying the entire Yizhou, judging from the environment and topography of these two places, it is not suitable for the development of cavalry at all. Besides, Jingzhou and Yizhou were not rich in horses in the first place, so even if Liu Bei made up for it, he only got no more than 10,000 war horses.
Therefore, Liu Bei spared no effort to build this cavalry, and this baby bump naturally could not be handed over to others. And now that he has been called the king and the emperor, he naturally can't lead it, this cavalry that was built with great difficulty to fight on the battlefield, so Liu Bei can only hand over his second and third brothers, that is, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
As for the others, Liu Bei was not at ease or reluctant, and even the cavalry led by Huang Zhong was just a few soldiers and horses from Changsha. Later, Liu Bei named Guan Yu and Zhang Fei the cavalry Feiyu Cavalry, and took the name of one of the two people, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, just hoping that the two could train and develop this cavalry well.
Although Liu Bei attached so much importance to it, with the strength and ability of the Shu army, it was still difficult to train a strong cavalry. This is finally carefully crafted flying feather horse, but it has always been difficult to compete with the Wei army's tiger and leopard cavalry, which is also Liu Bei's most heart-wrenching place, when fighting with the Wei army for the land of Hanzhong, he tasted the power of the Wei army's cavalry.
This time, Zhao Yu led his troops to attack the Wei State, which almost destroyed the Wei State, and Cao Pi had to stop the campaign with Liu Bei and form an alliance to fight against the Zhao army together. In fact, it is said to be an alliance, but in Liu Bei's eyes, it is just a surrender, but some of the generals in Wei **** are loyal, and if they want to surrender directly, I am afraid it is not appropriate.
However, this time the alliance between the two armies confronted the Zhao army, Fa Zheng had already gained the initiative by talking to the other party before, and the power of the alliance was in his own hands, and Liu Bei could use the alliance posture to send these Wei troops. Moreover, these Wei troops are now all under their command, just because of Cao Pi's imperial authority, once the great cause of the revival of Wei is not completed, these people will be the destroyers of the country, and they can only rely on themselves in their own territory at that time. So Liu Bei is not in a hurry at all, he has survived for so many years, why bother these few days.
It's just that Liu Bei looked at the generals behind Cao Pi, and then thought that the generals he had worked hard to dig were all ordinary people. In addition to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Chen Dao, it is really difficult to find a general who can take charge alone. If, this Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others can become his generals, Liu Bei is not afraid of Zhao Yu's army coming.
After seeing the defeat of Cao Pi and others, Liu Bei's first sentence was: "As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, back then, I joined hands with Meng De to attack Dong Zhuo, and I thought about it for many years now." Now I didn't expect that I would join forces with my nephew to attack the Zhao army, and this battle would be won. With the infantry of our Shu army, plus the cavalry of the Wei army, combined with the prestige of the generals of our two armies, and admiring the combination of the two armies, we will definitely be able to resist the southward movement of the Zhao army. Once we found the right moment, we took the opportunity to go north in one fell swoop and recapture the whole of Xiliang for the Wei army. ”
For Liu Bei's words, Wei Jun was slightly stunned, and then Cao Pi greeted Liu Bei and said: "Then Cao Pi is very thankful, as long as your army can help my Wei State complete the dream of recovering the country and recapture Xiliang, Cao Pi will definitely thank you again." ”
Afterwards, Liu Bei arranged for the general Wei Yan to stay in Hanzhong in order to resist the southward advance of the Zhao army, and the sergeant Fa Zheng supervised the army, and there were 50,000 soldiers and horses. Seeing this, Cao Pi also left 30,000 soldiers and horses, and was led by the general Le Jin and the strategist Liu Ye. The rest of the men and horses followed Liu Bei into the land of Yizhou, and Liu Bei was not afraid that Cao Pi would mess up, after all, Yizhou was his own territory, and every pass was guarded by generals and heavy soldiers.
Although the generals around Cao Pi are powerful at this moment, judging from the 40,000 soldiers and horses left in the Wei army, they can't make any waves in Yizhou at all. What's more, he was surrounded by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Chen Zhi and others, even if he Xiahoudun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang wanted to make a mistake, they had to weigh it.
After returning to Yizhou, everyone immediately convened the first military alliance council, in order to win over the generals of the Wei army and leave a good impression on the generals of the Wei army. Liu Bei deliberately invited Cao Pi to sit side by side with him, and the rest of the generals sat side by side, during which Liu Bei, as the host, took the lead in speaking: "This time, although our allies have enough ability to fight against the Zhao army, there is also a crouching tiger by our side, which always threatens our stability. Xuande has always been worried that when we are fighting with the Zhao army, this crouching tiger will suddenly rush out to attack and harass, which is not good, I don't know what you can do. ”
As soon as Liu Bei's voice fell, he saw one of his ministers stand up and speak: "Although Jiangdong Sun Quan is now strong in strength and has three counties, he is actually equal to our strength, and the minister thinks that if he wants to prevent us from taking the opportunity to attack when we are in the coalition against the Zhao army, then Sun Quan will take the opportunity to attack." Your Majesty can write a joint letter to Sun Quan with His Majesty of Wei, willing to be allies with Sun Quan, recommend Sun Quan to become emperor, and raise troops to resist Zhao Yu together. This person's move immediately shocked the audience, this person is the prime minister of Shu Han, known as Zhuge Liang of Wolong.
