The cavalry attack is fast, so just after the war letter, Liu Mang received information from Lu Bulai that Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry had arrived in the Xinye area, and there were traces of Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses in Yiyang and Zaoyang.
"Yiyang Zaoyang?!" Liu Mang opened the map, Yiyang Zaoyang is at the end of the Huai River, below Xinye, it is the territory of Jingzhou, after Yiyang Zaoyang is Pingchun, this is a place that belongs to the junction of Yangzhou and Jingzhou and Yuzhou, Liu Mang didn't want to provoke Liu Bei and Liu Biao too early because Liu Mang didn't have so many soldiers and horses, so Pingchun did not exclude the soldiers and horses stationed, and then Pingchun was Gwangju, Gwangju? Liu Mang couldn't help but think of the young general recommended by Zhang Liao, there were defenders there, but there were only a thousand people.
Liu Mang took the information in his hand, this information was given to Lu Bu by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Lu Bu gave it to Liu Mang from Lujiang after the disaster, so it means that the 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry are not far from the rule of Liu Mang in Shouchun.
"Yuan Zhi, what do you think!" Liu Mang first asked his strategist.
"My lord. There are three strategies, I don't know which one the lord wants to use! Xu Shu said with a smile at Liu Mang.
"Sell less, say!" Liu Mang doesn't have kung fu to play with Xu Shu now.
"Make a decision to stick to Shouchun and wait for Wen Hou's rescue!" Xu Shu's is the next policy, because this technique is the most secure, Liu Mang has many foot soldiers, only two hundred white horses from righteousness, and the opposite is 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, in terms of machine power, combat effectiveness is much stronger than Liu Mang's troops, so Liu Mang can not take the initiative to attack, can only shrink his forces and besiege in Shouchun and wait for the arrival of Lu Bu's five thousand and state wolf cavalry, and then go to find Zhang Xiu's Xiliang iron cavalry decisive battle.
"Do you want to give up so much land?!" Under Liu Mang's rule, there was not only one Shouchun, but also Hefei, Gwangju Gushi Anfeng. If the forces are reduced in Shouchun, several other places will definitely be messed up by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, then half of Liu Mang's hard work will be destroyed, and the seeds that have been planted will also be destroyed by Zhang Xiu.
"Where's the middle strategy!" Liu Mang will not implement the next policy, so there are only the middle and upper strategies.
"Medium strategy. It's still stubborn and waiting for reinforcements, but it's to let all the cities be closed, and the lord of the city gate will send the city management army and the black chess army to wait for a decisive battle in the field! "Xu Shu's middle strategy is that all the cities are closed and strictly guarded, and the two heavy armored foot soldiers of the Chengguan Army and the Black Chess Army, plus the white horse Congyi from Shouchun to inspect the entire rule, 10,000 heavy armored foot soldiers. There are more than 200 heavy armored cavalry, even if Xiliang Tieqi has 20,000 horses, he has to think carefully about whether to eat or not, with their containment, it is impossible for Xiliang Tieqi to take a certain city lightly.
But the middle strategy is not a good idea for Liu Mang, because although the heavy armor foot soldiers are not afraid of the charge of the heavy armored cavalry, there is one point. That is, the foot soldiers will never have the strong action of the cavalry, once people surround the point to send reinforcements, or take you to fly kites, it will be over, Liu Mang once used this trick to kill Xu Sheng's black chess army. Being beaten passively is not what Liu Mang wants.
"So what's the best policy!" Liu Mang asked directly about the best strategy, his fingers crossed over the map, and his eyes were also on the map.
"Huh! Best! Xu Shu smiled indifferently, pointed to the map and said, "Isn't the lord already having a good strategy in his heart!" ”
"Me?!" Liu Mang also laughed when he saw where Xu Shu was pointing, "Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi." You're a roundworm in my stomach."
"Naturally, the lord has already thought of the best strategy, so Yuanzhi will stay in Shouchun!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang, there must be someone in Shouchun, this person must not only have knowledge but also prestige, and be able to deal with a qiē.
"Stay in Shouchun?!" Liu Mang was a little confused, if he was just in charge, there were a large number of people who could, such as Huang Zhong, such as Yang Hong, although Yang Hong was not good in strategy. But it's still okay to play steady. Why is Xu Shu reluctant to leave?
"Hehe, lord, it's inevitable that friends will be embarrassed to meet in the old days!" Xu Shu expressed the scruples in his heart.
"I understand, don't worry about Yuanzhi, you can stay here and help me sit in Shouchun!" Liu Mang didn't want to embarrass Xu Shu too much.
"Lord, take Ziyang with you. In terms of talent, Ziyang is not under me, and in terms of mechanical skills, I am even more willing to bow down! Identity: Ziyang is even more of a relative of the lord! Xu Shu recommended to Liu Mang, Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang are really a genius, or an all-rounder.
It is the descendant of Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the king of Fuling, he has been very smart since he was a child, on the original trajectory, the strategy he set really benefited Cao Cao a lot, starting from the Shouchun thief Chen Ce, to the later battle against Shuchuan, it can be said that there are many times with Zhuge Liang, but he is not inferior to Brother Zhu, and Liu Ye is also very good at organ learning, the original battle of Guandu can be fought with Yuan Shao The thunderbolt car is made by Liu Ye, here, Liu Ye helped Liu Mang to repair a lot of things in the entire industrial area, cement, and everything was done by Liu Ye, and the ballista was also perfected with Liu Ye's help, and there was also a bed crossbow that could be directly loaded with magazines.
Compared with Zhuge Liang, Liu Ye is not bad at all, if it weren't for the embarrassment of this identity, then Liu Ye would also be a man of the hour, but unfortunately in the end, he was suspected of being smart by Emperor Wei because of his identity, and died of shame.
But now that Liu Ye has arrived under Liu Mang's command, the problem of this identity is not a problem at all, although Liu Mang is not the descendant of the ruffian Liu Bang, but he has been installed as a Han clan relative, one is the King of Shu and now has become the Holy King of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that he has died is the Han royal family, Liu Ye naturally does not need to consider the issue of identity, he is in the other princes, how can the other princes treat him wholeheartedly, just like Lao Cao, who has always been guarding against Liu Ye, after all, Lao Cao is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, That's a big rebellion, he was afraid that a talented person like Liu Ye would deal with him, so Lao Cao simply didn't use Liu Ye. Like Liu Kai and Liu Neng's father and son, they also defected to Liu Mang because of the Han family, otherwise he could live well under Sun Ce's command, and the big deal was to join the Jiangdong Shi Clan Group!
In Liu Mang's place, Liu Ye really showed his talent without scruples about his identity, if Liu Mang had an opinion on the Han family. The first one should solve himself, if Liu Mang has the idea of replacing the Han, aren't these Han clan relatives also his henchmen! After all, there is still a blood relationship.
"Okay, I'll take Ziyang with me!" Liu Mang is not hypocritical, Xu Shu is his military division, and it is good to stay in Shouchun.
……
In Yuzhou, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were waiting for news.
"Da Da Da!" A series of footsteps. Finally poured into the council hall, Liu Bei is very deep in the city, but now it is also an irrepressible excitement, because his great skills are about to succeed, maybe this time he Liu Bei will really become one of the overlords of the world.
"How's it going?!" Compared with Liu Bei's calmness, Zhang Fei on the side was a little anxious. Seeing the herald coming, he directly grabbed the herald and asked.
"Report to the lord, the three generals, no, no!" How strong Zhang Fei is, dozens of catties of spears in his hands are like an ordinary stick in his hands, and it is not like playing with lifting a person. Zhang Fei didn't look very good, and this eagerness scared people out of mind.
"The third brother must not be reckless!" Liu Bei frowned and said, he was also eager to get the news from the herald.
"Got it, big brother!" Zhang Fei directly threw the soldier down, clapped his hands, and went to the side again.
"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper. Report! "Another herald ran in, and the scouts Liu Bei sent out were once every half an hour, so these scouts brought him news, so every half an hour, someone would run back from the Yiyang Zaoyang generation to tell the message.
"Report, report you big-headed ghost! Tell me quickly, there is no news! "It's still Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei is really in a hurry, he was driven here by Cao Cao from Xuzhou, and he settled down, and he didn't fight a single battle. He Zhang Fei can't be idle, let him Zhang Fei take the gold to Wancheng to drink all day long, he is tired of drinking too much, and now that there is finally a battle, he is naturally very excited.
"Newspaper. Report! The herald was still stammering, and he would not be able to slow down for a while.
"You say, you say!" This time, Zhang Fei didn't lift the herald up, but pulled the clothes around his neck and dragged him over, even normal people would be dragged like this to the point that they couldn't breathe, let alone such a long time.
"Third General, put him down!" Pang Tong on the side could also see that the herald's face began to turn red, it was holding his breath, and if this continued, the herald might be played to death by Zhang Fei.
But Zhang Fei didn't listen to Pang Tong's words, or Liu Bei couldn't help it, "Yide, do you want to stay in Runan?!" ”
"Brother Eh, I can't!" Zhang Fei hurriedly let go of the herald and asked him Zhang Fei to stay in Runan, it was better to kill him Zhang Fei, he couldn't wait to go into battle now to kill the enemy, so that his Zhangba spear would stick to blood.
"Come on, give water to this soldier!" Liu Bei said to the maids on the side, sometimes it is not Liu Bei pretending, but it is beneficial to Liu Bei, he will naturally do it, for example, giving this herald a glass of water now can make him recover faster, but just such a glass of water may make this herald grateful to him, after all, the identity of the two is there, the superior is good to the subordinate, that is called approachable, and the subordinate is also to the superior, it is called flattery, and between the same person, it is called natural, so this interpersonal relationship is really complicated.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" After a burst of coughing, the herald finally relieved himself, and gratefully took the cup of water from the maidservant's hand and drank it. It slowed down for a while, but this soldier did not forget the big thing, "Report to the lord, there is still no news ahead!" ”
The herald made Liu Bei a little disappointed, because he saw that the herald was in such a hurry and thought that there was really intelligence, but unfortunately he still didn't "go down and rest!" Liu Bei waved his hand and said.
Half an hour later, another herald arrived, this time Zhang Fei was no longer reckless, he was really afraid that his eldest brother would leave him in Runan, so it would be all over, in a popular phrase, his big spear was already hungry and thirsty. It's unbearable. If you let such a person suffocate in Runan, he will suffocate to death.
Liu Bei also became indifferent, excited once or twice, naturally calmed down three or four times, he also lost his breath and drank a cup of tea, and drank it very naturally, but as soon as he entered his mouth, he squirted out.
"Report to the lord, there are a large number of cavalry in Zaoyang Yiyang, and there are tens of thousands of horses," the herald knelt on the ground and said to Liu Bei.
"Cavalry! A large number of cavalry" Liu Bei was really overjoyed when he heard this sentence, you must know that there are only three cavalry in Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and the first one is him Liu Bei. But he Liu Bei only has a few hundred cavalry, which are all used as scouts, and there is Lu Bu's army, the cavalry of Lu Bu's army is unlikely to appear here, and the rest is Wancheng Zhang Xiu. Wancheng Zhang Xiu's cavalry has 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, Zhang Xiu is generally near Wancheng, and now he has crossed Weishui and appeared in Jingzhou Yiyang Zaoyang, which means that Zhang Xiu is going to war with Lu Bu's army.
"Hahahaha! God help me, God help me! Liu Bei shouted in his heart, he Liu Bei was already forty years old. It already belongs to the age of the old man, but in the past few decades, he has almost achieved nothing, and he is also very jealous of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they are all children of the scholar clan. They all have natural advantages, Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, the reason why he was able to win Jizhou and Merge the state is not because of the huge family heritage! Tian Feng and others betrayed Han Fu and joined Yuan Shaojun because of the name of the third prince of the fourth world.
As for Cao Cao, he was also welcomed by those children of the scholar clan, and there was also the income from the corruption of his father Cao Song as a lieutenant over the years. This made Lao Cao have the ability to recruit troops and horses, as well as his relatives Xiahou clan.
And what about him Liu Bei, just a seller of straw sandals, no power, no money, the first two are the second generation of officials, the other is the second generation of the rich, he Liu Bei is completely the second generation of poverty, Liu Bei wants to get rid of his own orders, then he can only be shameless, because the surname Liu Bei said that he is the Han family after King Jing of Zhongshan, there is no money. The first recruitment was made up by his third brother Zhang Fei by selling his estate.
It can be said that Liu Bei is really the counterattack of ** silk, helpless struggle, if he has a good father like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he is definitely not worse than them!
But it doesn't matter now, he Liu Bei will also stand at the pinnacle of his life.
Now he Liu Bei only has half of Yuzhou. But the whole Central Plains is about to be obtained, Cao Cao is in Guandu with a headache and brain fever, there is no time to unify the Central Plains, Jingzhou Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun Ce are pinching, there are only three families left in the Central Plains, one is Zhang Xiu of Wancheng and the other is Lu Bu of Lujiang, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng is not worried, just a reckless husband, if it is not Jia Xu, it would have been destroyed long ago, and he is the watchdog of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
The remaining Lu Bu is difficult to play, there is a Chen Gong under his hands, if Liu Bei was not worried before, after all, Lu Bu was just stubborn and listened to Chen Gong's words or not, but now it is different, Lu Bu has completely changed a person, Liu Bei's case has Lu Bu's actions these days, all of which show that Lu Bu has changed, if Liu Bei hadn't seen Lu Bu, and Lu Bu might have thought that Lu Bu had been replaced by someone in the battle of Anhui City!
There is also a Shu king Liu Mang in Lu Bu's army! Now that he is a holy king, he is also a big trouble for Liu Bei, who can block Sun Ce from Anhui City, and can almost play Pang Tong to death, can be a person who is easy to deal with!
But now that the problem has been solved, Sun Ce has made a plan, so that Shouchun and Lujiang have fallen into a turmoil, although Lu Bu's army is holding on, but a discerning person can see that Lu Bu can't hold out for long, and Zhang Xiu is the last straw that overwhelms the camel, Liu Bei uses Zhang Xiu's war knife to deal with Lu Bu's tiger, and when they are both defeated, then the entire Central Plains will enter his Liu Bei's arms.
"Plop!" Pang Tong was the first to kneel down in front of Liu Bei, "Lord, the Han family will prosper, the great cause will be restored, and the lord will send troops to clear the universe and dominate the world!" ”
"Please send troops to clear the universe and dominate the world!" On the side, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Zhang Fei and others also knelt down and shouted.
"Good!" Liu Bei was also ambitious.
"Pass on my military order, where is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide!"
"The last general!"
"I want you to take 10,000 Qingzhou elites to take the lead in the vanguard of our army, build a bridge when encountering water, and open the way across the mountains!" Liu Bei took out a military order from the case.
"The last general obeys!" Zhang Fei was so happy, he was finally going to go on the expedition, he was still a pioneer, could he not fight!
"Where is Chen?"
"The end will be at 1!"
I order you to bring white-eared heavy armor soldiers to respond to Zhang Feiqingzhou's elite for our army! “
"The last general commands!"
"Where is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, where is Sun Qian and Sun Gongyou?"
"The last general!"
"You and Gongyou will stay in Runan together, take 10,000 elite soldiers to defend the city, and supply grain and grass for our army!" Guan Yu is calm and can be used as a rear figure. There is no worry about him in Runan.
"Where is Liu Pi!"
"The last general" Liu Pi also stood up.
"With 20,000 Yuzhou troops, you will protect the grain and grass for our army!"
"The last general commands!"
