Chapter 701 Battle Prologue II
For Liu Beijun, although the battle with Cao Jun does not occupy the time and people, Liu Jun has an absolute geographical advantage. After all, Liu Bei's army had been stationed in Xinye for a long time, and he knew that Cao's army was coming, so Liu Bei's army set up checkpoints on every key road leading to Xinye.
In addition to the levels, there are also many facilities such as traps. With these facilities, Liu Beijun could flexibly resist the offensive of Cao's army. If these facilities are used properly, let alone resist the Cao army, it is obviously possible to defeat the Cao army.
At this moment, Xu Shu finally had a trace of self-confidence in his heart. The soldiers will block the water and come to Tutun, no matter how afraid of Cao Jun Cao Jun will also attack, rather than this, it is better to go with the flow, sit back and wait for Cao Jun to attack, and when Cao Jun really comes, he has the ability to deal with Cao Jun.
Thinking of this, Xu Shu's heart suddenly moved. Obviously, he seemed to have thought of something, and as his thoughts became clearer and clearer, Xu Shu's eyes became more and more affirmative. Xu Shu became more and more sure, and the look on his face obviously became more and more solemn.
"Alas~~" Xu Shu sighed, although he thought of Cao Jun's intentions, he obviously didn't have any way about it. Cao Jun is an upright conspiracy, and an army of more than 100,000 is not child's play. If there is no way to solve this hundreds of thousands of troops, how to receive the pressure of everyone.
Obviously, the best way to relieve the pressure now is undoubtedly to storm Cao's army. But this can only be imagined, the combat effectiveness of the Cao army is so strong, it may not be able to defeat the Cao army with the sharpness of the city, let alone take the initiative to attack the Cao army.
Nowadays, more than 100,000 troops of the Cao army are assembled and on standby, and the army of more than 100,000 is separated in three places, although there is some distance between the three places, but if you want reinforcements, the Cao army will definitely be able to appear in the shortest time. When that time comes, the person who attacks Cao's army will become a turtle in an urn.
Everyone obviously heard Xu Shu's sigh, which made everyone turn their heads to look at Xu Shu. And Liu Bei glanced at Xu Shu and asked in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhi, what's wrong with you, why are you sighing for no reason?" ”
Xu Shu shook his head and glanced at Liu Bei, Xu Shu said helplessly: "It's okay, I just feel that the war is together, and the people are going to suffer again." I just feel that when will this chaotic situation end. ”
Xu Shu's words didn't make Liu Bei think about it much, and after Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's words, he immediately sighed. Liu Bei glanced at the people in the hall, and then said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhi's words are good, war is definitely suffering for the people. But it is for this reason that I have an obligation to help the people to overcome their suffering. I, Liu Bei, are bound to restore the Han Dynasty, return the world to a bright future, and let the people get out of the sea of suffering! ”
Liu Bei's words were impassioned, which made everyone in the room suddenly feel the kind of righteousness in Liu Bei. It is precisely because Liu Bei has a great mind and righteousness that everyone present will closely follow Liu Bei's side. It is also Liu Bei's righteousness that makes Liu Bei popular among the people.
Xu Shu nodded deeply, but he still felt a little guilty in his heart. Anyway, he did deceive Liu Bei. But this is obviously also a move with no choice, and it is better not to know at all than to know the enemy's strategy and have no way to fight it.
In the city of Xuchang, Cao's army was ready for all battles. In the past few days, Zhao Fei's Taiwei Mansion has received many letters from Cao Jun's generals asking for battle. Among these people, Xiahoudun should be regarded as the one who annoyed Zhao Fei the most.
These days, Xiahoudun has really done a letter of request for war every day. These petitions were sent by special scouts, and if Zhao Fei hadn't taken them over personally, these scouts would obviously not have left. Therefore, Zhao Fei had to meet with Xiahoudun's scouts every day, and he had been like this for so long.
Zhao Fei was obviously quite helpless about this situation, and saw that Xiahou Xuan's scout had become something he had to do every day. These big-headed soldiers were obviously specially selected by Xiahoudun, because these soldiers all admit death. He was a lieutenant of the court, but these people obviously did not take themselves as a lieutenant in their eyes, except for the military orders they had to fulfill, they obviously couldn't hear anything said to them.
Although the ban made Zhao Fei very pleased, it also made Zhao Fei feel annoyed. In the face of such a persistent Xiahoudun, Zhao Fei obviously had nothing to do. After all, these soldiers he sent were all superb, and they couldn't be sent away with a sentence or two.
In fact, Zhao Fei didn't think about Xiahoudun's invitation to fight. In his opinion, although Liu Bei's strength is indeed very small now, with his physique like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, Liu Bei will eventually become the enemy of Cao Jun.
In the crusade against Jingzhou, Zhao Fei didn't care, but for Liu Bei, he had to deal with it carefully. You must know that the Battle of Jingzhou was Liu Bei's turning point, since the defeat of Cao's army in the First Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei occupied a place in Jingzhou in a short period of time, and this is the rise of his hegemony. Of course, there is one of the most important figures here, and that is Zhuge Liang. This Zhuge Kongming, who was known as a wise and close demon by later generations, is about to appear in front of the eyes of the world.
Zhuge Liang's help to Liu Bei is obvious, although Zhuge Liang's understanding of military affairs is only a little, but this is definitely a person who cannot be underestimated. Although Zhuge Liang's talent has some fraudulent elements in it, this is not enough to cover up Zhuge Liang's ability.
Longzhong is right, three points of the world, Zhuge Liang can make such an innovation, which shows that Zhuge Liang has a long-term overall view. It can control the big picture, and it can control it in a meticulous and organized way.
The overall situation is a kind of potential, and if this potential is in the hands of others, then Cao Jun will become very passive. Zhao Fei is a person who wants to take the initiative, how could he hope that his power would be occupied by him Zhuge Liang.
Now he has not seen Zhuge Liang's face, but Zhao Fei obviously has expectations in his heart, looking forward to being able to face off against this legendary demon. Zhao Fei wanted to know whether his wise and demonic Zhuge Liang was stronger, or whether his otaku was more powerful.
However, compared to Zhuge Liang, who is like a king, has not yet come out of the mountain, before Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei still has Xu Shu under his command. Speaking of Xu Shu, Zhao Fei's expression was a little weird. After all, he still has a relationship with that Xu Shu.
For Xu Shu, Zhao Fei has a strong interest in winning him over. In Zhao Fei's opinion, it should not be difficult to win Xu Shu, after all, he once saved Xu Shu, and he has a life-saving grace for Xu Shu. Moreover, Xu Shu's mother has always been taking care of herself.
Xu Shu is a filial son, and he is a well-known filial son. As long as there is the trump card of Xu Shu's mother, Xu Shu will naturally not be able to run away. However, Zhao Fei doesn't know now whether Xu Shu has joined Liu Bei's command.
This is a very important question, because of its own existence, history has become a mess, and no one knows whether the next history will continue according to the original course. However, Zhao Fei obviously didn't want to go down in the direction of history, after all, if that was the case, Cao Jun would be defeated in Chibi.
The best way to avoid the Battle of Chibi was to prevent Cao Cao from starting the Jingzhou War, but this was obviously impossible. First, whether it is the geographical location or the degree of wealth of Jingzhou, Cao Jun is determined to win. Second, Jingzhou may have no ambitions under Liu Biao's control, but if it is really replaced by someone else, will there be any different ideas if Jingzhou, which occupies such a rich city.
Therefore, before Jingzhou has other ideas, it is the most important thing to take the lead in destroying Jingzhou. Moreover, Cao Cao had already made up his mind, and it was not a few words that could persuade Cao Cao to give up this plan. Although Zhao Fei is an important minister of the Cao army, Cao Cao is the master of the Cao army. When necessary, it is still necessary to give this lord of the Cao army the greatest majesty. Let Cao Jun know whose words are more useful.
As a strategist, it is natural to solve problems for the lord, take precautions, and anticipate the enemy first. Now that Cao's army is ready for an expedition to Jingzhou, and a large main force is also on standby. Cao Jun had already made so many preparations, and Zhao Fei naturally would not let these preparations go down the drain.
Zhao Fei firmly believes that all problems in the world can be solved, and God is very fair, and he will not set up an unsolvable situation for you. Therefore, the Battle of Chibi was a hurdle for Cao Jun, but it was undoubtedly also an opportunity.
It can be said that the First Battle of Chibi gathered all the forces of the Jiangdong Sun clan. If you can destroy all the forces of the Jiangdong Sun clan in one battle, Jiangdong will become a tiger without minions, and others will slaughter it.
However, the biggest enemy of the Battle of Chibi to Cao Jun was Zhou Yu, and for this person, Zhao Fei had some confidence in his heart. After all, Zhou Yu is a prodigy in commanding the army, and he has won the trust of the Sun family, so dealing with such a person requires considerable care and caution.
Zhao Fei had a lot of thoughts, and at this time, Guo Jia walked in from outside. Seeing Zhao Fei, who was calm, Guo Jia asked in a deep voice, "Brother, what are you thinking?" ”
Zhao Fei came back to his senses, he glanced at Guo Jia, and then put the letter in his hand still on the table, and then said helplessly: "What else can I think, I'm thinking, when can that Xiahoudun let me be quiet!" ”
Guo Jiawan smiled at Zhao Fei's words, he naturally knew that Xiahou Tang had made his brother feel quite a headache these days. For this, Guo Jia could only snicker. Shaking his head slightly, Guo Jia opened his mouth and asked: "How does my brother plan to solve this matter, if it is not solved, if everyone learns from General Xiahou, my Taiwei Mansion will be really overcrowded!" ”
Zhao Fei nodded lightly, and then said: "I naturally know this, but if you start a war here, it means that our army and Jingzhou Group will have a life-and-death battle." If the war continues, I don't know how many soldiers will die because of this! As he spoke, Zhao Fei shook his head slightly.
