Chapter 22 The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop
Gao Ping, for such an unfamiliar name, everyone has a lot of discussions, and they don't know its origin. Even many people laughed at Liu Bei, how could any child be the mastermind.
Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "If it is really this person who is plotting, it should not be underestimated, he has such a strategy at such a young age, so why should it be attributed to Liu Bei!" Turning his head and saying to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai can be assigned to make detailed works, and be sure to find out the detailed origin of Gao Ping"
Xi Zhicai turned his triangular eyes and said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, although Liu Bei has Xuzhou, but taking into account his reputation, he refuses to cut the grass and hoe the roots, and kills the two sons of the Tao family.
Xun Yu also chuckled and said: "Although the forward translation plan has not been completed, but it has also made Xuzhou fall apart, now Xuzhou Sanmu, the chaos has risen, the lord can take advantage of this time to cut down Lu Bu, when he wins, no matter what the result of Xuzhou will inevitably be greatly damaged, the lord will try Xuzhou to quickly determine also"
Guo Jia said again: "My lord, everything should be prioritized, and the matter of Xuzhou will be put aside for the time being, and it will be dealt with later." Only now the top priority is to fight with Lu Bu, the chaos in Xuzhou has risen, there is no time to take care of it, the lord hits Lu Bu at this time and the rear is worry-free, Lu Bu, jackals also, if the lord enters Xuzhou, Lu Bu will take advantage of the void to enter, here Mr. Wen Ruo has already made it clear, I hope the lord will make a decision as soon as possible"
"Feng Xiao's words are exactly what I want, my intention has been decided, first break Lu Bu, and then Xuzhou, if the princes have no objections, today's deliberations will end here, and the princes will go back and make preparations for the expedition as soon as possible" Cao Cao said cheerfully. One of the important reasons why Cao Cao was able to achieve his later great cause was that he had a stable and efficient think tank. Look at the five people in the family, let me be one vs five, and it's not residual blood, can there be five kills, a god on the forehead!
Shouchun, the later general Yuan Shu held Tao Ying's distress letter and was discussing with the civil and military to enter Xuzhou
Yan Xiangdao, the master bookkeeper: "Although the lord has Tao Ying's letter, Liu Bei has already taken the position of state pastor, and his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are quite brave, and they heard that Liu Bei's military advisor Gao Ping is good at planning, and I am afraid that it is not easy to plan in a hurry."
Yuan Shu said angrily when he heard this: "Liu Bei, who was originally a weaver and peddler, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both brave and unscrupulous, and the military advisors they were appointed were broken and broken, like this rabble, what a way!" It's that you turned over twice to block my plan, and every time you praise Liu Bei, isn't it secretly having an affair with Liu Bei? If you dare to talk nonsense, kill your sacrificial flag first" Yan Xiang's face turned red, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
Changshi Yang Hong saw that Yan Xiang was deflated and hurriedly said: "The lord can promise Zhao Yu to attack Liu Bei first, and wait for Zhao Yu to send troops from Guangling, Liu Bei will attack it, and Liu Bei will be empty, and the lord will take Xuzhou from Huainan first, and then attack Liu Bei with Zhao Yu, the big thing will be decided!" ”
Han Yin also offered a plan: "Now the pottery merchant is also self-reliant in the East China Sea, but he can contact the pottery merchant to invite him to discuss Liu Bei, and he will gladly respond to it, and Liu Bei is new to Xuzhou, eager to establish his authority, and will not let the two sons stand on their own, the lord first excludes Liu Bei, and then the two Tao, then Xuzhou can be obtained."
"Haha" Yuan Shu laughed: "So the three ways are out together, see how Liu Xuande copes, you will allocate grain and grass sergeants from now on and be ready to send troops to Xuzhou at any time"
Jin Shang wanted to speak several times, but was gently pulled by Yan Xiang.
"Why didn't Shicai make me say a word to stop the general's unrighteous move" Jin Shang of the General's Mansion was slightly angry and said with a frown.
"Alas!" Yan Xiang sighed and said: "General Yuan's family background is illustrious, he has not been frustrated, he has already developed an arrogant atmosphere, and now that he has decided to attack Xuzhou, how can he easily change it, it is useless to persuade him, but he will be reprimanded, and the public will not see me before?" ”
"However, everyone only knows the benefits of Xuzhou, but they don't know the harm, Liu Xuande, the hero, his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are excellent in martial arts, and they also hear that their military advisor Gao Ping is good at Bu Ji Ji, every material must be accurate, how can it be easy to be with his generation, even if there is no trick, Xuzhou is rich, if he refuses to take danger and defends, it will be protracted, and General Yuan wants to return to peace" The two giggled and left.
Xuzhou's military strength is relatively scattered, except for Langya (Langya is full of thieves and bandits, and there are no troops at all), Guangling has about 20,000 under Zhao Yu's secret cultivation, about 8,000 in Xiapi, about 20,000 in the East China Sea for Cao Bao's nest, Pengcheng (Xuzhou Prefecture is in Pengcheng) has more than 20,000 people, but Cao Cao lost more than 10,000 in a battle, and lost thousands through the Tao brothers' mutiny, in addition to the county garrison, only 5,000 are actually available to Liu Bei, most of them are infantry, only more than 300 cavalry, Gao Ping transferred 5,000 soldiers from Xiapi, These soldiers were strictly selected, and then disrupted the soldiers trained by Xiaopei for the training of grassroots officers, so Liu Bei had an army of more than 10,000 people, Chen and Mi took out a lot of armor and weapons, and what made Gao Ping even more pleased was that Mi Zhu actually gave more than 400 war horses, although it was not a good horse in Mobei, but it also solved Liu Bei's urgent need, and he deserved to be one of the world's famous wealthy businessmen.
The military system of the Han Dynasty can be divided into Wu Chang - Shi Chang - Du Bo - Hundred Generals - Yamen General, Cavalry Governor, Ministry Governor, etc. - Other Sima (Military Sima) - Du Wei (Cavalry Du Wei) - School Captain (the five schools of the Northern Army are equivalent to the Central Army, and the five captains of the Southern Army are equivalent to the Central Garrison Department) - Zhonglang General (Wuguan, Left, Right, and Tiger Ben Zhonglang will be similar to the five schools) - General Pi - Partial General - General of each number (such as General Wuwei, General Duliao, etc., generally the generals are out of Duliao, and they will be sealed during the war, and withdrawn after the war. - Four Expeditions, Four Towns, Front, Rear and Left Generals - Wei Generals - Hussars, Che Cavalry Generals - Great Generals
In Xuzhou, three sword and shield battalions, four spear battalions, three archery battalions, and one cavalry battalion were organized, and two sword and shield battalions, two spear battalions, and one archery battalion were handed over to Guan Yu as the first division. Zhang Fei commanded the cavalry battalion, the rest was the second division under the command of Liu Bei himself, and the guard battalion was expanded to 500 men and still commanded by Zhou Cang.
In addition, Gao Ping carefully selected 200 people to form the "Flying Eagle" special force, and the formation of the "Flying Eagle" was mainly to carry out some special tasks; Gao Ping temporarily divided the "Flying Eagle" into three parts, namely, the "Shadow Department" for spying on intelligence, the "Sharp Weapons Department" for attacking cities and villages by using special means, and the "Mobile Department" for infiltrating hostile forces to sabotage, discord, incite, and even assassinate
Originally, Gao Ping emulated the special combat forces of later generations and trained them to be all-round special forces, but Liu Bei's current conditions are not yet met. It's just that 200 people were hastily trained to establish a "shadow department" first, and all kinds of special equipment are not fully equipped. This will not be carried out until Xuzhou is completely settled.
In January of the sixth year of the first peace, 195 A.D
Cao Cao left Cao Ren to guard Juancheng and other places, with Dian Wei and Xu Chu as the vanguard, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan as the left army, Li Dian and Le Jin as the right army, Yu Ban as the rear army, Cao Cao introduced the Chinese army, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and others joined the army to attack Lu Bu, and Xun Yu was the governor of grain and grass. The soldiers arrived in Yanzhou, the guards Xue Lan and Li Feng led the army to battle, Xu Chu beheaded Li Feng in front of the battle, Xue Lan was afraid, retreated into the city, held on to one side, and reported to Lu Bu Pegasus on the other.
