Chapter 533: The Sound of Horses' Hoofs (First Update)

West of Jiangling City, Liu Bei's camp.

After Zhang Fei recovered, Liu Bei's army, because of Zhou Yu's order, participated in the siege battle for several days, and suffered great losses.

The Cao army was once recruited, and the strength of the greatly increased force immediately shrank by almost average. Only thirteen or four thousand remained.

At this moment, there are only 10,000 people in Liu Bei's camp.

Because Liu Bei divided Zhang Fei to lead 3,000 people from other departments to attack Yiling, Dangyang and other big cities in the west.

In other words, Liu Bei now already has several cities as a foundation. After plundering money and grain, Liu Bei also temporarily asked Zhou Yu to control their grain.

Therefore, the current Liu Bei is mostly resting and recuperating, and did not follow Zhou Yu to attack Jiangling.

Recuperate and plan to take over Gangneung Fortress.

Xu Shu's army arrived in Jiangbei for such a big thing, of course, it couldn't be hidden from Liu Bei.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei sat in the first place, and Guan Yu, Chen Dao, and Zhuge Liang were three below. Because of the relationship between plundering several cities, Jian Yong and Sun Qian were sent to govern the city.

also because of a thin family business, Liu Bei's face was brightened.

"Why did Xu Yuanzhi lead his troops north?" Liu Bei was both surprised and surprised.

"With its troops, it is capable of attacking Jiangling, as long as it conquers Jiangling, the northern city of Jiangbei, the seven counties of Hannan will have the capital to gain a foothold in Jiangbei, and the naval army of Ganning is very powerful, so that it can be attacked and defended." Zhuge Liang's god is more dignified, and Zhuge Liang never dared to look at this former friend.

Kong Ming's words are wrong, Liu Feng has not been dead for a long time, and the military and civilians under the account must also be fluctuating. There was also news that Jiang Wan and others set out to kill a lot of people because of this. At this time, how could Xu Shu's purpose be to fight for Jiangling? Guan Yu said a little disappreciatively.

Guan Yu's strength lies in the battle, and his leaders are invincible. But strategy is really not his forte. What the hell is Xu Shu doing?

Even Zhuge Liang couldn't guess it, let alone Guan Yu.

However, because of this, Zhuge Liang knew that what Guan Yu said was wrong, and Xu Shu must have a purpose in going north, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.

"And what the hell is he here for?" Liu Bei asked.

"I don't know." Of course, Guan Yu was confused, so he said very simply.

Liu Bei thought about it, and couldn't help but live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a xiǎo person.

"At present, Liu Feng is dead, and the seven counties of Hannan are about to be killed. Jiangdong has a great chance of winning, will Xu Yuanzhi want to raise troops to attach himself to Zhou Yu? ”

Liu Bei and Xu Shu are actually deep, but Xu Shu has a criminal record, he once planned to defect to Cao Cào for the sake of his mother, and now he sees that there is no danger in big things, and he may also worry about his mother's safety and turn to Jiangdong.

"Liu Feng treats him very well, and Yuan Zhi's mother is still settled in the public security, so it is impossible for Yuan Zhi to defect to Jiangdong." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

It was Zhuge Liang who trusted Xu Shu's character.

His words also made Liu Bei embarrassed.

So what is he here for? Do you really want to fight for Gangneung with an army of 40,000 or 50,000?

Just when everyone was full of doubts, Zhuge Liang raised his head and said to Liu Bei: "I believe that with Xu Yuanzhi's ability, it is possible to fight for Jiangling." Even he may have fought with Zhou Yu Jiāo. Don't forget that Liu Feng died in Jiangdong. ”

"That's right." Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he started to shoot the case.

"Liu Feng died in Jiangdong, he must have come to avenge Liu Feng. Killing Zhou Yu is equivalent to cutting off Jiangdong's arm. Liu Bei stood up suddenly, walking back and forth in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he was very excited.

If the speculation is successful, then Xu Shu and Zhou Yu will definitely have a battle, either you die or I die. As for who wins and who loses, there is still some ambiguity.

Because there was not much difference in the number of the two armies, Zhou Yu had about 60,000 troops, while Xu Shu also had 45,000 troops.

And it's not at its best.

On the one hand, there are many wounded soldiers due to the siege of the city for several days, and on the other hand, the coach is newly lost, and the morale is definitely insufficient.

The best, and what Liu Bei wants to see the most, is that the two parties fight to the death. Liu Bei, he is so cheap.

There's a saying, don't you say, watch from the wall.

"When two tigers fight, one will be killed and one will be injured, and they will be watched from the wall." Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, and they all saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

So, Liu Bei did not give an order very tacitly. If you don't give an order, you don't make a move, you just pose and watch from the wall.

………………

In the southeast of Jiangling City, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the Xu Shu camp.

Xu Shu closed his eyes and pondered, except for Xu Shu and a confidant in the tent, there was no one else. After a long time, Xu Shu took a deep breath, opened his eyes and asked.

"Is there any movement over there Liu Bei?"

"There was no movement." The xiǎo official replied immediately. This xiǎo official is Xu Shu's confidant, ears and eyes, and knows everything very well.

"Old jiān giant cunning." Xu Shu sneered, Zhou Yu's army was as many as 60,000, while Liu Feng's army was only 70,000 or 80,000.

No matter how the two sides calculate, it is a situation where the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. Liu Bei's choice to watch from the wall is also reasonable.

However, the army of the seven counties of Hannam cannot be calculated according to the simple number of people against some people. This time, Cao Cào saw that he had suffered a big loss, and he rode a full 5,000 tigers and leopards.

It bleeds from his heart.

According to intelligence, Zhou Yu used a large number of Wu knives in this battle. This news is also one of the reasons why Liu Feng decided to go on the Northern Expedition.

However, of course, the 60,000 men of the Zhou army could not all be equipped with Wu Dao. At most, there are twenty or thirty thousand, so there are a few hole cards under Liu Feng's hand.

One of them was Zhao Yun's cavalry. Zhou Yu's army may have cavalry from the xiǎo division for scouting. But it was impossible to have a contingent of 10,000 cavalry, trained for a long time by a very capable general.

The use of this hole card is also thanks to the terrain of the Gangneung area. Jingchu is mountainous, but Jiangling is a plain.

There was a place for cavalry.

Since Liu Feng led an army of 70,000 to the north, he had the confidence to defeat Zhou Yu in one fell swoop. The first war is a decisive battle, and it will never die.

Liu Bei watched from the wall, and there was absolutely no good fruit for him to eat.

Forget it, it's not for Liu Bei. He looks from the sidelines, which is good for his own side.

"What about Zhou Yu?" Xu Shu put his hand on his knee, his fingers moved gently very regularly, and asked. Compared with Liu Bei, Zhou Yu is the key.

"There was no movement, just the troops shrunk in the camp and rested." Xiǎo replied again.

Maybe you're suspicious, but that's fine. When the lord and his troops arrived, our troops were completely assembled, which was Zhou Yu's death. Xu Shu thought in his heart.

"When will the lord arrive?" Xu Shu asked again.

"I don't know if the lord came here with his troops or with his horse and army. If there were only cavalry, it would only take about an hour to get from Ulin to Gangneung. If it is a horse infantry army, it cannot be reached on two days. Xiǎo replied.

"Hmm." Xu Shu nodded.

It doesn't matter if it's an hour or two days. Zhou Yu couldn't reflect it, and the back road was broken again.

Unless Zhou Yu goes north, he goes to Cao Cào.

Most of this trip to the north was expected. Xu Shu thought in his heart.

At this moment, a pro-soldier entered the big tent and reported: "General, Luo Tong, the battalion of the Zhou army, is asking to see you outside the mén. ”

The two armies are fighting, and the envoys are at war? It seems that in Gongjin's heart this week, he really didn't realize that the decisive battle was about to start.

Xu Shu thought in his heart.

"Please come in." Xu Shu adjusted his sitting posture and said to the soldiers who came to report.

"No." The soldiers answered, turned and left the tent.

Soon after, Luo Tong walked in.

Luo Tong's first feeling to Xu Shu was that he was young, and then he was confident and radiant. It's when you're young.

"Sima under the account of the Metropolitan Governor, Luo Tong pays a visit to General Xu." Luo Tong clenched his fists, bowed deeply to Xu Shu, and said loudly.

"What happened?" Xu Shu asked in horror.

"It's very simple, on the orders of the Metropolitan Governor, please invite the general to enter Jiangdong as a general, if the general is willing, the Metropolitan Governor is willing to give up the position of the Metropolitan Governor to Yu Jianlu." Luo Tong said with a little arrogance.

The so-called three-inch tongue is not necessarily the words of the heavenly huāluàn fall, and some are the interests of the essence. In Luo Tong's view, Jiangdong will prosper, and if Zhou Yu uses the position of governor to give it to Xu Shu, Xu Shu will be moved.

"The governor of Jiangdong may not be as powerful as me, the Zhonglang under the account of General Yang Wu." But he came to persuade him to surrender, Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Shu's lieutenant general is indeed not as high as Zhou Yu in terms of authority. But the power is too far behind. Under normal circumstances, Xu Shu controlled an army of 45,000 people. Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yu will definitely not control more than 20,000.

"If General Yang Wu is still here, then the general's power is indeed higher than that of the Grand Governor, but unfortunately General Yang Wu has died at sea." Luo Tong was not discouraged, his face was still full of confidence, and said.

"Speaking of which, I don't want to go to Koto anymore. That Sun Quan was unkind, and even killed his brother-in-law, I don't want to kill Sun Quan one day. Xu Shu shook his head slightly sarcastically.

Luo Tong's always confident face sè, there is a momentary change. But he recovered in an instant, and said to Xu Shu in a deep voice: "The general is serious, General Yang Wu died at sea, not the hand of Wu Hougong." Brother-in-law, in-law, how could Wu Hou bear to harm him? ”

"It's just yù cover Mizhang." Xu Shu shook his head, what he said was really boring, anyway, Xu Shu didn't have the intention of surrendering, and it wouldn't be interesting to continue. Xu Shu said: "You go back and tell Zhou Yu, I will put the army here, if you want to attack, I will accompany you." But if they are persuaded to surrender, they will be spared. ”

"General Xu, this is self-defeating." I thought I could persuade Xu Shu to come down in a few words, but I didn't expect this old bone to be so hard, and Luo Tong was unhappy in his heart.

Luckily, when I came, I already had a plan in mind. 利yòu does not come, then Wei bī.

Xu Shu's face maintained a calm expression, but he was annoyed in his heart, the two armies were fighting, and it was normal for the envoys to fight. But the host has already put on a posture to drive people away. But he still won't leave.

But it's really rude.

However, before Xu Shu lost his temper, Luo Tong showed his sword first.

"Now that Liu Feng's bones have been eaten by the fish in the sea, the seven counties of Hannan are all supported by the general and a few old ministers, and it won't take long at all. The collapse is just around the corner. Even if the general doesn't think about himself, he has to think about his mother. Luo Tong sneered.

It was directly to Xu Shu's mother, Xu Shu was forced by Cao Cào and almost went to the north, this matter is somewhat circulating, Luo Tong knows.

In Luo Tong's view, this is the key point of Xu Shu. As long as you pinch this key point, Xu Shu has to obey if he doesn't follow.

Koto is about to prosper, and it is your luck to surrender. If you don't surrender, you're dead.

This is coercion.

Xu Shu was calm and calm, and his face sank slightly. The changes during this period were all in the eyes of Luo Tong, who was staring at Xu Shu and looking at Xu Shu with a condescending momentum.

He didn't know what Xu Shu was thinking, but he guessed that Xu Shu's heart must have been struggling. Sure enough, the old mother at home is his weakness.

Luo Tong, who thought he had grasped Xu Shu's heart, had a look of victory on his face.

In his opinion, the surrender of Xu Shu's army was almost a foregone conclusion. Lobbying the 45,000 army to surrender, what kind of calculation is this feat?

Luo Tong had even begun to imagine in his heart what kind of reward Zhou Yu would give him after returning to Zhou Yu's camp. Zhou Yu's reward is actually just a xiǎo head.

After Marquis Wu captured the seven counties of Hannan, Jiangling and other places, he returned to Jiangdong and rewarded him for his meritorious deeds.

There is even a chance to be called a general.

In the end, he was young and vigorous, the more Luo Tong thought about it, the more the god on his face betrayed him, and he looked at Xu Shu with condescending eyes.

It's so annoying.

Xu Shu was annoyed, he was really annoyed.

If it weren't for Liu Feng's persuasion, he almost went north that year and almost lost his mother. At that time, Xu Shu swore that his life was tied to his mother's. To live together, to die together. It will never be at the mercy of anyone again.

Not to mention that Liu Feng is not dead today, the future is very good. Even if Liu Feng is really dead, Xu Shu will no longer consider defecting to others.

And this guy in front of him actually threatened him with his mother.

At the same time that Xu Shu's face was cold, the xiǎo official next to him was also ready, ready to call the soldiers outside the tent at any time to beat this madman out.

But at this moment there was a tremor from the ground, at first only slightly, and at last it was like the earth shaking.

At the same time, the violent sound of horses' hooves also reached the ears of everyone.

A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Shu's face, this disciple really went off the beaten path and divided his troops. One man and three horses rushed to Gangneung in an hour, and war broke out.

Thinking about it, Xu Shu raised his head and looked at this young man named Luo Tong, at this time, it was sad to be in the Jiangdong camp.

Luo Tong was stupid. The sound of horses' hooves ringing in his ears like thunder, as well as Xu Shu's inexplicable eyes, all made Luo Tong realize something.

The cavalry is actually cavalry, and most of Cao Cào's cavalry should have retreated to the north during the Battle of Chibi, and the cavalry that appeared here could only be Liu Feng's cavalry.

It is rumored that Liu Feng has a general, Zhao Yun, who is a cavalry general under the former Gongsun Zhan's tent. A long time ago, Liu Feng begged from Liu Bei to train cavalry.

Pang Tong came.

Luo Tong changed for it

When the last dozen xiǎo of the double monthly pass, ask for support.
