Chapter 201 Mobilize troops to the border to watch the enemy and strategize

was named General Wei, Liu Bei also ranked among the ranks of the second-rank officers, and the generals under his command also rose with the tide, and the titles, official positions, and Yulu were promoted.

Liu Bei crowned Chen Gong, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang as military generals; Guan Yu was crowned as the leading general, and Zhang Fei was the general of the protectors; added Zang Ba as the general of Fenwei and succeeded Guan Yu to guard Qingzhou; added Huaxiong as a brave general and replaced Zhang Fei to guard Yuzhou; Zhang Liao was crowned as the general of Fengyi, replacing Huang Zhong to guard Yangzhou; Huang Zhong was crowned as the general of shooting, Gao Shun was the general of filial piety, Tuoba Kun was the general of loyalty, and the rest were all promoted to the first level.

He also ordered Guan Yu to raise 120,000 military horses in Qingzhou and temporarily tun Taishan County; ordered Zhang Fei to raise 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, enter Yangzhou, and Tun Ruyin; Huang Zhong raised 80,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhou and Tun Xiyang.

Military orders came out one after another, and the soldiers and horses of the four states under Liu Bei's command were frequently mobilized.

The next day, Liu Bei informed the angel that he was preparing to ask the angel to return to the Son of Heaven to offer the emperor.

And the angel went.

Liu Bei followed the advice of Chen Gong, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang.

He handed over the affairs of Xuzhou to Guan Yu, leaving Chen Gong as an assistant, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang as military advisors, and Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Tuoba Kun and others as generals, leading more than 100,000 troops and horses out of Xuzhou and going straight to the direction of Hanoi.

The three armies of Guan, Zhang and Huang moved together, but they blocked the news, and the messengers intercepted and killed them together. So that no one knew about Yuan Cao's two armies.

Such a big stroke is Zhuge Liang's strategy.

Liu Bei's army of nearly 200,000 arrived at the border, but it was not across the line for a long time, and they only looked at each other from a distance.

Seeing that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were gathered and the joint camp was more than ten miles, Yuan Shao thought that Liu Bei was here to help him, so he sent his sons Yuan Tan and Yan Liang to meet Liu Bei.

And Cao Cao had already received the letter, and thought that Liu Bei came to help him, so he sent Xun Yu to visit Liu Bei.

Yuan Tan and Yan Liang arrived first.

Liu Bei treated each other as a friend, but he just talked about the old days with the two, but he didn't say anything about the war.

Seeing Liu Bei's words left and right, Yan Liang knew that Liu Bei had a plan this time, so he wanted to leave.

At this moment, suddenly the guards of the gate came to report: "Lord Qi, someone outside the gate asks to see." ”

Liu Bei knew in his heart that this was Cao Cao's envoy who had arrived.

He smiled slightly, and ordered: "Let Kong Ming's military master wait for me to receive me!" ”

Looking at Liu Bei, Yan Conscience secretly said in his heart: Could it be that Cao Cao sent someone over?! The Xuande army is here, and Cao Cao will never be indifferent! Seeing Xuande like this, is he waiting for the opportunity? If he helps Cao Cao, our army will be in danger!

After thinking about it, he got up and said: "Brother Xuande, you and I have intersected since childhood, and our affection is very comparable!" Now the two countries are fighting each other, and the public is on the side, friends? Enemy? ”

Seeing him suddenly ask, Yuan Tan was shocked, for fear that Liu Bei would turn his face.

saw Liu Bei laugh and said, "Gongji, don't worry." I am the general of the Great Han Guard, where to go, I should follow the holy will! However, thou art and unhandsome are my old friends, how can I be easily enemies? My soldiers and horses are here, and I can't do it myself! ”

It seemed that Liu Bei was planning to not help each other, Yan Liang's face softened slightly, and then said: "Since this is the case, I hope Brother Xuande will consider it carefully!" We're going to go! After finishing speaking, he left with Yuan Tan.

Besides, Zhuge Liang met with Xun Yu.

Xun Yu elaborated on Cao Cao's intentions, hoping to get Liu Bei's approval.

Now is not the time to give them an answer, Zhuge Liang smirked, and the flesh on his face seemed to be torn apart, making people look fake.

It's just that he has a request for others, and Xun Yu can't say it, which is quite embarrassing.

Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Gongduan's good idea! First of all, I attacked Yuan Highway, and Cao Gong took advantage of the gap to capture Runan without blood! This time, under the pretense of a holy decree, my lord will crusade against Yuan Benchu! Isn't the intention of your lord's heart to hurt both my lord and Yuan Shao, and to sit and reap the fisherman's liye? ”

Xun Yu retorted: "Yuan Benchu pretended to use the text to invade my border, just to take the opportunity to expand the territory!" He united with your lord, but he was just afraid that your lord and the prime minister would join forces! ”

Xun Yu's words are a bit far-fetched, how can he convince Zhuge Liang?

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord has been running all the way, and his body is occasionally cold, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so Fang Liang came to receive Mr. If Mr. has nothing else to do, Liang will not keep Mr. As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and lowered his head to drink slowly.

Serve tea and send it off! What a Zhuge Liang!

Xun Yu flicked his sleeves and stood up.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Tong'er, send off!" ”

It is one side that is happy and the other side is worried.

Cao Cao had many ministers, but none of them could think of a way.

Knowing that Liu Bei avoided it, Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei was waiting.

He saw that Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others had no one who could give advice, so he thought of Guo Jia who was far away in Xuchang.

Why didn't Guo Jia come?

It turned out that Guo Fengxiao was terminally ill and was recuperating in Xuchang. So in this battle with Yuan Shao, he did not come.

At this time, his messenger was galloping on the road.

With Liu Bei's tacit approval, Yan Liang came back to report to Yuan Shao, and asked to fight in front.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, so he asked Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead troops to fight.

Nowadays, Cao Cao was newly defeated in Wancheng and got Zhang Xiu's refuge.

Zhang Xiu returned with food, and learned that Yan Liang had defeated more than ten generals in a row, so he asked Yan Liang to fight.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and crowned Zhang Xiu as a brave general and made him go.

Zhang Xiu asked Yan Liang to fight at the foot of White Horse Mountain.

Zhang Xiu, known as the king of guns in Hebei, was really powerful, and for a while he was inseparable from Yan Liang.

After more than 100 rounds, Zhang Xiu's strength was weak and gradually declined.

Cao Cao's subordinate Xiao returned to Xu Chu Province, and when he saw Yan Liang's might, he didn't like it, so he suddenly came out and changed back to Zhang Xiu.

Wen Chou in Yan Liang's array saw it, shouted, raised his gun, and led the army to kill him.

Wen Chou and Yan Liang are far more than Cao Jun.

And Yan Liang and Wen Chou fought against Xu Chu, Xu Chu was defeated, and Cao's army was defeated.

Cao's army retreated for dozens of miles, until Guandu, and happened to meet Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei and others to lead the follow-up soldiers and horses to arrive, and then killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Cao's army then camped in Guandu and confronted Yuan's army again.

Cao's army was defeated, losing more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there were only more than 100,000 left; At this time, Yuan Shao had exhausted the soldiers and horses of the four states, and there were more than 300,000.

Cao's army was trapped in Guandu, fortunately there were Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Xiu and others, who were not afraid of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but it was the disadvantage of the army that made Cao Cao dare not act rashly.

Although Liu Bei's army on the side was hundreds of miles away, he was still eyeing him.

At this time, in Liu Bei's Chinese army tent, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu were discussing......

I heard Xu Shu say: "I didn't expect Guo Fengxiao to be sick like this!" If he dies, we'll have one less rival! ”

It turned out that the secret guard captured the messenger sent by Guo Jia and handed over Guo Jia's letter to Cao Cao to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei convened the two to discuss.

Zhuge Liang is also quite in awe of Guo Jia: "People call Guo Fengxiao a ghost, this person is adventurous, but extremely shrewd. Often the moment the incident happens, he will catch the opportunity! Judging from what is said in his book, Xu Qing and Youerzhou are in the lord's father, so that our army will attack the border of Yuan Shaoqingzhou! What a big deal! The Lord is afraid of the holy decree, and there is a benefit, and he has to do it; They took the opportunity to seize Jizhou and merge the state. Since then, the Yuan family has been completely finished! ”

"Guo Fengxiao's letter fell into our hands. Now that we know their intentions, what do we do next? Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "Today's Malay report, Yan Liang and Wen Chou defeated Cao's army, and the battle line was pushed to Guandu. Cao Cao's troops rushed Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei to repulse Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Looking at the two armies, the victory or defeat may be in the battle of Guandu! ”

"How so?" Liu Bei asked.

Xu Shu said: "Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have just conquered Wancheng, so they have Zhang Xiu, but they are tired and tired, and they have fought for a long time without success; If there is not enough food and grass, you have to retreat! ”

"Not really." Zhuge Liang didn't seem to agree with his old friend Xu Shu's opinion, and even said, "Yuan Benchu was so happy, how could he die around Cao Mengdeye?" Yuan Benchu's grain and grass were all stationed in Wuchao, so that the fierce general Chun Yuqiong was stationed. Qiong Xi wine greedy cup, will definitely make a mistake. If Cao Mengde learned about this and broke the Wuchao granary, how could Yuan Benchu be undefeated? ”

"I see, Kong Ming really has a far-reaching insight!" Xu Shu was not angry at all because Zhuge Liang's plan was contrary to himself, but was very happy, the kind of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

Zhuge Liang continued: "Today, I have a series of plans, which can help the lord to win Jizhou, get a good general, and defeat Yuan Benchu, so that Cao Mengde's bamboo basket will be empty." ”

"Oh? What is Kong Ming's plan? Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord has a good relationship with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so you can make people say it first, so as to make an internal response." The two surrendered, and our army has won fifty percent! ”

"And fifty percent, what should I do?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The remaining fifty percent, please ask Cao Cao to do it!" ”

"Please Cao Cao to do it?"

"Not bad!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "On the one hand, the lord made someone pretend to be Cao Jun to seize the Wuchao granary, and Chun Yuqiong lost the granary and will definitely report to Yuan Shao; On the one hand, Liang Mao pretended to be the general of Yuan's army, saying that he was attacking Wuchao. The two armies of Yuan and Cao will definitely fight, at this time, the main ministers Yan Liang and Wen Chou intercepted and killed the Cao army, and our army surrounded and killed Yuan Shao, and the two armies will definitely be broken! ”

"Good!" When Liu Bei heard his words, he was overjoyed, and then said, "Gongji, Bujun and I are young friends, and we have a deep friendship. But the two have been with Yuan Shao for a long time, and I don't know if they can be convinced! ”

"If the lord is worried, I have a plan." Xu Shu interjected.

"Yuanzhi, please speak." Liu Bei said.

Xu Shu said: "It would be nice if Kong Ming's plan was done by Yuan Shao's ministers!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were a little confused by him.

Xu Shu said: "Xu You, a counselor under Yuan Benchu, has an old relationship with Cao Cao, and he has long intended to vote for Cao. If he mentioned the siege and siege battle to Yuan Shao, he would definitely reprimand Yuan Shao. This person is greedy for money and money, but he is decisive in thinking and far-reaching. Once rejected, he will definitely vote for Cao. When Cao Cao learned that the Wuchao granary was located, how could he let it go? ”

"Then our army only needs to set up troops to ambush on the way and annihilate its army!" Liu Bei blurted out.

Zhuge Liang asked, "Yuan Zhi already has a way in his heart?!" ”

But listening to what Xu Shu said, what will they do next?
