Chapter 620: Counselor, Please
Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei attached great importance to this Mr. Wolong, who had not yet met, so he could only stand aside honestly, at the beginning of spring, the weather was still a little cold, Liu Bei couldn't help but shiver, it had been an hour, but he didn't expect Mr. Wolong to still not wake up.
However, Liu Bei also showed patience, back then he was just a down-and-out Han clan relative who sold mats and weaved shoes, and he had today's career, relying on his own skills, if he didn't have this patience, he wouldn't have to invite Mr. Wolong.
Another half an hour passed, Mr. Wolong finally woke up, and then the plot was naturally Wolong's astonishing words, and Liu Bei was like an initiation, and after some pleading, Mr. Wolong agreed to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei, Zhongxing Han Room.
Strategists, pay attention to reputation, Liu Bei is the name of the Han family, he can attract a large number of talents for him, but at this time he is living under Liu Biao, plus Liu Biao is called the emperor to the outside world, many strategists naturally filter Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang has a great reputation in Jingzhou, and has never taken refuge in Liu Biao, but he also thinks that Liu Biao is not enterprising, not enough to achieve great things, even if he is called the emperor, he can't achieve an imperial career, although he has some relationship with Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang has never gone to serve, and only exists as a free man in Jingzhou, as for the title of Wolong, it is a title given by many people who know Zhuge Liang and appreciate Zhuge Liang's talent, and Zhuge Liang himself often compares himself to Zhong Leyi, needless to say, his own talent, Longzhong is even more persuaded by Liu Bei to throw himself into the ground.
Liu Bei sighed: "Mr. Wolong, like a fish in water." ”
Zhang Fei is not interested in this white-faced scholar, he is keen to kill the battlefield of the fierce general, if Zhuge Liang is five big and three thick, and has a superb martial arts, he will definitely be able to gain Zhang Fei's favor, and Liu Bei went several times before he finally saw this famous Wolong, Zhang Fei already had complaints in his heart, just waiting to make Zhuge Liang ugly on the battlefield in the coming day, aren't you water, I will let your water dry up.
"Sir, this third brother of mine is also a fierce general in the army." Liu Bei pointed to Zhang Fei and introduced.
Zhuge Liang just nodded slightly, and was not too eager, so that Zhang Fei was suddenly dissatisfied, and was about to say a few words, when he saw the eldest brother's face, he hurriedly stopped, when he hadn't seen Zhuge Liang before, his words had already made the eldest brother very dissatisfied, he didn't want to cause a gap between himself and Liu Bei because of a strategist, so many years, Zhang Fei broke into a lot of troubles, and Liu Bei took it every time, Zhang Fei was more loyal to Liu Bei in addition to being moved.
"I've seen you, sir." Zhang Fei hugged his fists.
Zhuge Liang didn't care about the dissatisfaction in Zhang Fei's tone, and said with a smile: "General Zhang is a fierce general in the army, and on the battlefield in Japan, he hopes to kill more enemies and create a great cause for the lord." ”
Zhang Fei hugged his fists and said, "No." In my heart, I don't think so.
got Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was high-spirited, Mr. Wolong was very famous in Jingzhou, although Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, he didn't dare to trust him too much, and he still needed to take the school exam, but he didn't show it on the surface.
"Sir, please hurry up and rush back to Xinye, Cao's army has invaded Jingzhou, and it is expected that the troops will arrive in Xinye in the near future, although there is a second brother in the city to guard it, I don't dare to take it lightly." Liu Bei said.
Zhuge Liang instructed the boy a few words, and left with Liu Bei Zhang Fei, without bringing any items, which made Liu Bei a little impressed, and it is very rare for a strategist to be able to do so freely.
It's no wonder that Zhang Fei looks down on Zhuge Liang a little, in terms of age, Zhuge Liang is just a hairy young man, no matter how famous he is, he can't have any great ability, not to mention that Zhuge Liang is just a scholar among the mountains and wilderness, I'm afraid I don't even know how many princes in the world have.
Jingzhou was very lively, and Chang'an also began to mobilize troops and horses, because the geographical location of Luoyang was very important, and Zhao Yun was left in Luoyang to prevent Cao's army.
This battle in Jizhou is related to the further development of the Xiliang Army, and Jia Rong naturally attaches great importance to it, mobilizing 50,000 soldiers and horses to enter the Changshan country.
Although the movements of the Xiliang Army are very secretive, Yuan Shao still got the news at the beginning of the Xiliang Army, to be honest, Yuan Shao has already hated the Xiliang Army to death, capricious, and constantly taking advantage, Youzhou and Zhou were also included in his hands, even Zhuo County, was also cut off by Yuan Shao to him, who knew that this person was still not satisfied, and raised troops again, and lost Qingzhou and Zhuo County one after another, Yuan Shao's strength fell a notch.
In terms of troops, Yuan Shao has nearly 200,000 combatable soldiers in his hands, even if they are not as elite as the Xiliang army, they are not afraid, with nearly 200,000 troops to defend Jizhou, Yuan Shao is confident that Jizhou will be held, so that the Xiliang army will hit the head and break the blood.
Changshan Country and Zhongshan Country Hejian Country are both places bordering the Xiliang Army, Yuan Shao had already sent heavy troops to guard it before, and after hearing the news of the Xiliang Army's mobilization, there was not much panic.
After learning the news of the Xiliang Army's attack on Jizhou, the strategists of Jizhou seemed a little panicked, after all, over the years, the Xiliang Army has fought almost every battle, and the only time it suffered a big loss was because of Li Ru's betrayal, and it was that time that made the reputation of the Xiliang Army reach its peak.
Xu You continued to give advice to Yuan Shao to resist the Xiliang Army, the strategy was decent, and there was no lack of ingenuity, so that Yuan Shao paid more attention to Xu You, and almost announced that Xu You was the first strategist in Jizhou, and the reason why Xu You worked so hard was because he received a letter from Chang'an, asking him to advise Yuan Shao to increase the defense of the frontier, and Yuan Shao initially learned that the news that the Xiliang Army was going to raise troops was also from Xu You, so he was even more impressed by Xu You.
Although Xu You didn't understand that Weishenme Chang'an would have such a strange order, he still implemented it to the letter, and during that time in Chang'an, he memorized some of the systems of the Xiliang Army very well, and he was usually afraid that he would be offended.
The army was divided into two roads, the first army commander Guo Yan, commanding 30,000 troops, Jia Rong personally pressed the formation, commanded the second road army, and came towards Changshan country, at the same time, Huang Zhong, who was far away in Youzhou, also made a move to support the Xiliang army, and constantly mobilized the army, so that the town was guarded in Zhongshan Guowen Chou Gaolan, and could only defend the army, and did not dare to support Changshan country.
The Xiliang Army has been established for more than two years, with five ships, more than 20 warships, etc., and there are countless small boats, with the support of strong financial resources, it has developed rapidly, of course, this also has an inseparable relationship with the merchants and people of Chang'an, over the years, the merchants and the people have contributed a lot of money to the army, especially the businessmen are rich, and every time they take out a lot of money, whenever the Liangwang Mansion makes this money public, it will cause a commotion, and everyone is used to it, The officials of Chang'an did not dare to make any small moves, and all of them were accounts on the surface, all of which were used to build a naval army or strengthen the city wall, so that merchants and ordinary people could appreciate their usefulness.
These building ships, is the Jingzhou Navy will be surprised after seeing it, looking at it from afar, just like a steel fortress standing on the water, under the sunlight, shooting out a little cold, more than two years, although the Navy has many sorties, there is no big move, but it has not attracted the attention of the princes, many of the princes' advisers even think that Jia Rong has no use for training the Navy, in the Central Plains, the Xiliang Army has no foundation, even if it goes down the river and occupies some small places, it will be quickly exterminated, The naval army may be very strong in combat on the water, but when it comes to land, the princes are still not in their eyes, even the Xiliang naval army is no exception.
The resistance suffered by the first road commander Guo Yan in Changshan Country was naturally very fierce, and it seemed that the invincible Xiliang Army was in a hurry, and he directly used crossbow thunderbolts and other things to beat the defenders in the city and did not dare to show their heads.
The attack of the Xiliang army was not trivial, Yuan Shao sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to Changshan country, and even made some wine and meat to reward the soldiers in the army at the expense of the treasury.
The Jizhou army moved, the strategists naturally continued to give advice, Jizhou became very lively, of course, the market was a little desolate, many merchants heard the news, they hurriedly transferred their property, at this time Jizhou in their eyes, has been very unsafe, jokes, even a strong city like Luoyang, was attacked by the Xiliang army, not to mention Jizhou.
It was still under Yuan Shao's compulsory orders that the situation in the city stabilized.
As the commander, Guo Yan naturally understood Jia Rongming's intention of attacking Changshan Country on his face, so he spared no effort, the 30,000 army had lost nearly 2,000 people, and the walls of Changshan Country were stained with blood everywhere.
When Jia Rong personally led the army to the city of Changshan Kingdom, Yan Liang panicked, the shadow of the famous tree, Jia Rong has a famous reputation in the whole world, even if there are 40,000 people in the city, Yan Liang is still a little unconfident, and asked Yuan Shao for help again.
When Jia Rong saw the report of the loss of the Xiliang Army, his face involuntarily fell, these soldiers have undergone heavy training and have been tested by the war, although the war over the years has made Jia Rong numb, Ci Bu is in charge of the soldiers is understood by him very thoroughly, at this time it is inevitable that some soldiers feel worthless.
Pressing down the thoughts in his heart, Jia Rong said, "Who is the guard in the city?" ”
"Yan Liang and Zhang Jaw, both of them are fierce generals of the Jizhou Army, and Zhang Jaw has a halberd in his hand to assist in defending the city, and every time he defuses the offensive of our army, it is very difficult." Guo Yan said with deep feelings.
"The defenders in the city are about 40,000 people, and it is impossible for our army to completely surround the Yuan clan, so we can only attack from one city wall." Guo said.
