Chapter 440: Chen Zhi sent troops
Zhao Fei said this, how else could Liu Bei answer. And depending on the situation, both Zhao Fei and Cao Cao were determined to let Chen Zhi send troops, how could he persuade Zhao Fei and others.
"In that case, I will write a letter to Chen Zhi, and he will immediately recruit troops and attack Yuan Shu." Liu Bei said helplessly. There is no way, this is also a helpless move, after all, with his own ability, he can't persuade Zhao Fei and Cao Cao.
Seeing that Liu Bei finally agreed, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction. But how could Zhao Fei easily let Liu Bei go. After all, Zhao Fei knew that Liu Bei cherished the thousands of soldiers under his command very much. So he definitely won't let his soldiers fight to the death, but there is a plan and a counterpart.
Looking at Liu Bei, Zhao Fei opened his mouth and said: "Xuande can rest assured that the arrangement is enough, I will mobilize elite scouts to help General Chen Zhi." Don't worry, my hundreds of scouts explain the elite, the best thing is to find out intelligence, if they help, General Chen Deng will definitely succeed immediately. ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei was quite annoyed in his heart. Zhao Fei's move is called help, but in essence, it is spying on himself. He was afraid that he would only work and not contribute, so he specially arranged hundreds of scouts to let them monitor Chen Zhijun's every move.
Zhao Fei's move can be described as very vicious, but Liu Bei has no way to refute it. If Zhao Feiran and other soldiers supported, Liu Beida had many reasons to refuse Zhao Fei. But Zhao Fei was ingenious, just funding himself a little scout.
"Uh......" Liu Bei was about to say something, but Zhao Fei interrupted on the side: "Xuande Mo wants to refuse, these elite scouts were sent to Huainan by me early to investigate the truth, it can be said that they know Huainan very well, if they help General Chen Zhi, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings." ”
Since Zhao Fei said so, Liu Bei had no way to excuse himself. After all, on the bright side, Zhao Fei is indeed easy. dismissed Zhao Fei's kindness, then whether it was Zhao Fei or Cao Cao, they would doubt themselves.
Zhao Fei thought of everything he could think of, which made Liu Bei feel powerless. In any case, Zhao Fei also has to see Chen Zhi lead his troops to fight. But since Zhao Fei wanted to see it so much, Liu Bei could only obey. After all, if he offended Zhao Fei at this time, he would definitely have no chance to leave Xuchang.
"Since this is the case, then Bei wrote Lord Taiwei instead of Chen Zhi." Liu Bei Shili said.
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction. Then, Cao Cao said: "This is very good, tomorrow morning, I want to ask the Holy Lord for his life, and let the two of you lead the army to defeat Yuan Shu." ”
The next morning, Cao Cao opened his mouth to ask for the emperor's life. And when Emperor Xian heard that Liu Bei was actually in the crusade against Yuan Shu, he was also very happy. Now, his cronies are dead and wounded. It can be said that there are almost no credible people around Emperor Xian now, and the only one who can still be believed is his cheap imperial uncle.
Moreover, at this time, Emperor Xian also realized the importance of military power. Without military power, it is equivalent to not having any right to speak. If you want to confront Cao Cao and avenge the empress, your first goal is to have your own army.
For this, there is no way to offer the emperor in the inner courtyard of the palace. And what he can do is cultivate his cronies. And now, only his imperial uncle is the most worthy of his trust, and letting him crusade against Yuan Shu can allow Liu Bei to gather some prestige.
Emperor Xian happily agreed to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao began to get busy. After all, the crusade against Yuan Shu is a big deal. Although Yuan Shu has lost the support of the people because of the emperor, there are still many soldiers under his command.
However, the most troublesome thing for Cao Cao is that because of the battle of Xuzhou that the Yanzhou soldiers have just experienced, the current troops are not very sufficient. After all, now that he has two states, there are too many places to defend.
And the soldiers who have just been recruited have not yet completed their basic training, and they have no combat effectiveness at all, so Cao Cao also has a headache when it comes to sending troops to fight against Yuan Shu.
But in any case, since he has decided, no matter what the problem is, Cao Cao can only face it up.
At the same time, Xiao Pei was guarding the mansion, and Chen Zhi was also having a headache about the things in front of him. Because he had just received Liu Bei's order, he asked him to raise his troops and prepare to defeat Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu occupies Huainan and is strong, far from being able to shake it with thousands of soldiers and horses. And the lord actually let himself be the striker, and the soldiers and horses immediately set out to fight at the beginning of the day, which made Chen Zhi very headache, and he didn't know what to do.
Although Chen Zhi has not followed Liu Bei for a long time, Chen Zhi can be regarded as knowing Liu Bei's personality. He knew that Liu Bei had reached the point of exhaustion, and at this time, these soldiers of Xiaopei were already Liu Bei's last family funds, and he would definitely not use his family funds until the last resort.
But now, Liu Bei let himself go out with his troops for no reason, how could this not give Chen Zhi a headache. He didn't know how to solve this matter, because this matter was full of doubts, the letter was written by Liu Bei, and it would definitely not be bad, but the content in his heart was definitely not something that Liu Bei could write.
"What do you think about this?" Chen Zhi took Liu Bei's letter and said. In front of him at this time were the most powerful strategists under Liu Bei.
"This ......" the few people didn't know how to answer. This is indeed a difficult problem, after all, this is related to Liu Bei's foundation, if it is not handled well, it may ruin Liu Bei's hard work.
"Report!" Just when a few people were hesitating, the voice of a soldier came from outside the door.
"Biography!" Chen Zhi said in a deep voice. He frowned at this matter, and the report was so impatient, it was obvious that something had happened again. Things really go after the other, and I don't have any free time at all.
After the soldier came in, he came to Chen Dao, he reached out and took out a secret document in his arms, and then said, "General, the lord has a secret document!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhi's eyes finally lit up, he had been worried for so long, and the lord finally had a letter. With the news of the lord, there is no need to be so impatient.
As a result, Chen Zhi immediately read the secret letter in the soldier's hand. But after reading it, Chen Zhi's expression became more and more worried. Because it has been clearly stated in the secret letter that he will lead his troops to Yuan Shu, and the battle must be fought beautifully.
However, Chen Zhi finally understood why Liu Bei was like this, it turned out that everything was Zhao Fei's conspiracy. However, Zhao Fei occupies the righteousness, if he does not implement it, then the reputation of the next chaotic minister and thief may be detained on Liu Bei's body.
handed over Liu Bei's secret letter to the others, and after Mi Zhu and the others read it, they all frowned. Since Liu Bei, who is the lord, has already said so, he can only act according to the plan and lead his troops to attack Yuan Shu.
The letter has already stated that he is a striker, and he is determined to fight the first battle in order to boost morale. But it's easy to say, but it's hard to do. There are indeed thousands of soldiers in the entire Xiaopei, but except for a thousand big-eared elite soldiers, the rest of the soldiers can't form much combat power, and it is not easy to expect them to fight with Yuan Shu's regular soldiers.
"Everyone expresses their opinions, how will this battle be fought?" Chen Zhi asked. Now that Liu Guanzhang and the three of them are not in Xiaopei, the commander of his big-eared elite soldiers is the person with the largest position in the entire Xiaopei, after all, he has military power in his hands.
"Cao Cao and Zhao Fei are so calculating, such a conspiracy, this battle will not work. Moreover, this battle can only be won, not defeated, otherwise Zhao Fei and Cao Cao will definitely punish us. I can't eat enough when I die, but it's not good if it affects the lord. Mi Zhu said in a deep voice.
And after Mi Zhu finished speaking, Jian Yong and the others also had a headache. Fighting against the powerful Yuan Shu with a few thousand soldiers is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. But if you don't, you'll be left behind.
"In any case, we can only go out as a whole army. Pass on my order, the three armies are ready to go, and when they are fully prepared, they will go straight to Shouchun. At the same time, let the big-eared elite soldiers prepare for battle, and if you want to win this battle, you can only rely on the elite of the big-eared elite soldiers. Chen Zhi said in a deep voice. At this time, he has the style of a general.
Hearing Chen Zhi say this, Jian Yongmizhu didn't say anything. After all, he is a civilian official, and Chen Zhi is the commander of the big-eared elite soldiers, so whatever he says, then he can only do what he can do.
Xiao Pei is only a few thousand soldiers and horses, so he is mobilized very quickly. The only thing that gave Chen Zhi a headache was that Xiao Pei's grain and grass reserves were insufficient. For this, Chen Zhi was very troubled, after all, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and their own grain and grass were not sufficient, and they lost half of the battle before it began.
However, there is still good news, that is, Cao Cao supported him with a lot of grain and grass, which made Chen Zhi very troubled and quickly solved. When the grain and grass reserves were sufficient, Chen Zhi waved his army south, led thousands of Xiaopei soldiers, and killed Huainan Shouchun.
In the Shouchun Palace, Yuan Shu was sitting on the dragon chair with a look of intent. Below the main hall, a group of thinly dressed dancers are dancing. And at this time, a very harsh voice came.
"Urgent !!" A soldier with a roll of bamboo slips ran in quickly, and behind him, several important advisers of Yuan Shu followed.
For this sudden roar, Yuan Shu suddenly showed a very hideous expression. However, seeing that there were still a few people behind the soldiers, Yuan Shu put away his hideous expression. After all, the people behind are all their own strategists, and their own country still needs these people to guard.
"The ministers visit the emperor, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live." Several people came to Yuan Shu and knelt down and said.
Seeing a few people coming, Yuan Shu knew that today's singing and dancing could only be seen here, and then he waved his hand and motioned for the singer to retreat. After the singers retreated, Yuan Shu said: "No courtesy!" ”
A few people got up, and Changshi Yang Hong stepped forward and said: "I disturbed Your Majesty Yaxing, and the ministers deserve death, but the spies in front have just sent news that Xiaopei Liu Bei has raised 4,000 troops and is rushing towards Shouchun." ”
Hearing that there was a military situation, Yuan Shu was right. But when he heard that it was Liu Bei of Xiaopei, and there were only 4,000 soldiers and horses, he immediately showed a disdainful expression.
