Chapter 539: Zhao Zilong Asks for Battle

The generals under Liu Wei gathered together, but Lu Bu and his subordinate generals were missing.

did not invite Lu Bu and others to come, not because Liu Wei didn't look down on Lu Bu, the main reason was that at present, Lu Bu could only be regarded as a group of soldiers and horses attached to his wing.

Looking around at everyone in the hall, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth, who had been cold-faced, suddenly twitched, and said to everyone: "This king got the news that someone told the Xiongnu Shan Yu that Liu Nu Juci was assassinated in Luoyang and had died!" ”

"Who is so hateful?" Before Liu Bian's words fell, Guan Hai, who had always been short-tempered, stood up suddenly, wrinkled his brows, and shouted at Liu Bian: "Wouldn't it be so rumor-mongering to turn against His Highness?" The last general is willing to lead the army to the crusade, and screw off the head of the rumor-monger, and use it as a night bucket at night, so that he can sprinkle a few bubbles of urine in his brain! ”

Guan Hai stood up and shouted, although the other generals were full of righteous indignation, none of them jumped up and became angry like him, they just turned their heads to look at Liu Bian, quietly waiting for Liu Bian's further instructions.

"General Guan is in peace!" Liu Wei didn't speak immediately, but Xu Shu pressed his hand twice towards Guan Hai and said to Guan Hai: "Your Highness has his own opinions on everything!" ”

also knew that it was rude to jump up and shout on such an occasion, Guan Hai hugged his fists and arched towards Liu Wei and Xu Shu and Pang Tong, although he was depressed, he didn't continue to speak, retreated back to his seat, and sat down again.

"It doesn't matter who spreads the rumors!" After Guan Hai sat down again, Liu Wei looked around at everyone again, and said in a calm tone: "The generals followed the king on an expedition to Gongsun Zhan, and only now returned to Luoyang, and before they had rested for a few days, the Xiongnu Shan Yu ordered the right Xian King to lead the army to attack, and he really wanted our army to be exhausted. If our army meets the enemy in a big way, although there is no suspense in defeating the Huns, the army will definitely become a paralyzed division over time, and its combat strength will definitely drop significantly! ”

Although Liu Bian's words were not shocked, as if he was talking about an inconsequential matter, everyone here knew that if things were really as Liu Bian said, although the Luoyang army was strong, it would not be able to withstand the hostile attacks from all sides.

"This king has decided to divide the army to meet the enemy and fortify it in echelons!" Looking at by the eyes of the generals, Liu Wei then said to them: "Qubei has already led 100,000 Hun iron cavalry to leave the Hetao and advance to Henan Yin. The Huns had several options to choose from, and as a result, our army would fall into passivity. ”

"It's better to divide the troops and defend them, and wait until they determine where the Huns are coming from, and then mobilize troops and horses to go to the decisive battle!" Hearing from Liu Bian's words, it was not clear where the Huns came from, Tai Shici frowned slightly, and said to Liu Bian: "In this way, you only need to be the first to meet the army of the Huns to defend it to the death, and when the follow-up army arrives, the Huns can be broken!" ”

"That's the way to do it." As soon as Tai Shici's words were finished, Pang Tong smiled slightly, raised his hand and pinched his chin that had not yet grown a beard, and said with a smile: "It's just that in this way, the army that first encountered the Huns, I'm afraid it will fight alone, and the follow-up army will get the news to go to support, and it will definitely run continuously and be exhausted, the Huns are mainly cavalry, if it is a surprise attack at that time, what can our army do?" ”

was stunned for a long time by Pang Tongyi's question, originally thought that the plan was good, and Tai Shici, who was secretly happy in his heart, seemed to be taking a hot bath, but suddenly someone poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and it was cold to the tip of his heart.

"Do you have an idea?" Pang Tong vetoed Tai Shici's proposal, and Liu Wei turned his head to look at him and asked him a question.

"The Hun army came to Yin, Henan, and there were several ways to go." Hearing Liu Bian's question to him, Pang Tong turned his head, arched towards Liu Bian with both hands and fists, and said: "From the east, you have to pass through Jizhou and Hanoi, Jizhou is Yuan Shao's territory, and Hanoi is now under Cao Cao's control. The Huns categorically did not take this road! ”

Pang Tong just briefly analyzed the situation, and then sealed the road that the Huns might take, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but admire him a little, and a pair of eyes turned to his ugly face.

"In addition, the Huns have a way to go!" Looking at the generals in the hall, Pang Tong continued: "From the annexation of the state, enter Hedong, and then enter the boundary between Hongnong and Henan Yindi. ”

Everyone who said Pang Tong's words nodded yes, even Xu Shu was holding his beard and couldn't stop his jaw, obviously thinking deeply about what Pang Tong said.

"Bingzhou is still the boundary of Yuan's original territory, and Hedong and Hongnong are the subordinate territories of His Highness." Everyone including Liu Wei didn't speak, just looked at Pang Tong silently, and Pang Tong then said to everyone: "If Jizhou, Hanoi, and the Huns don't go, then this road will not go!" ”

"So what does the military advisor think the Huns will choose to enter Henan Yin?" Pang Tong denied the two possible paths of the Huns in succession, Liu Wei nodded, and then asked Pang Tong as if he remembered something.

"The Huns will not come to fight Luoyang!" Pang Tong's words made everyone present feel extremely shocked except for Xu Shu, and when they looked at Pang Tong one by one, their eyes were full of confusion.

"Chang'an was recently captured by Cao Mengde!" Pang Tong stood up, first walked quickly to the middle of the front hall, then turned around, bowed deeply to Liu Bian, and then said to Liu Bian and everyone in the hall: "The ambition of the Huns and wolves is not just a Henan Yin, what they want is the Central Plains, what they want is Jianghuai, and what they want is the territory where our Han people have lived for generations!" ”

When Pang Tong spoke, Liu Bian's brows were always twisted, and when Pang Tong said that what the Huns were trying to do, it was not just Yin Yidi, Henan, Liu Bian's eyes narrowed slightly, although he did not speak, but a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"What Shi Yuan said is not bad!" Everyone was still recalling what Pang Tong said, Xu Shu stood up, bowed to Liu Wei with his fists in his fists, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the Huns must have intended to occupy Chang'an this time, use Chang'an as the foundation, supply grain, and then advance to Luoyang. ”

"The Huns are interesting!" When Xu Shu's voice fell, Liu Wei pursed his lips, and said with a little ridicule in his tone: "This is like a robber entering someone else's house, robbing things and not leaving, but he just fell in love with someone else's house and wanted to stay as the master!" ”

"The last general is willing to lead the army to Chang'an to meet the Huns!" The generals sitting in the hall, except for Guan Qing, are all bloody men, even if Guan Qing, although he is a daughter's family, he is also not inferior to men, knowing that the Huns intend to occupy Chang'an, based on Chang'an, and then plot the entire Central Plains, many people have long been unable to suppress the fire in their chests, Zhao Yun stood up even more "Teng", strode to the middle of the front hall, and took the initiative to ask Liu Wei to fight with both hands and fists.

"Very good!" Zhao Yun took the initiative to stand up and ask for battle, Liu Wei had not yet expressed his position, Xu Shu had already praised it first, and then faced Liu Wei and said: "Zilong broke through hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain troops into Handan with the strength of one person that day, and he has already become famous all over the world. And Zilong is brave and strategic, not the courage of a strong horseman, led by him, he will definitely be able to break the Hun vanguard! ”

"What Yuan Zhi said is very true!" Nodding, Liu Wei first expressed his agreement with Xu Shu's words, and then faced Zhao Yun and asked him: "Zilong thinks that how many soldiers and horses are needed to break the Huns?" ”

"The Huns are cavalry!" Liu Wei asked how many soldiers and horses were needed, Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, and then said to Liu Wei: "To deal with cavalry, except for crossbowmen, only cavalry can be used. Although the crossbowman can shoot the cavalry in pieces from a distance, once the cavalry rushes close, it will be like a lamb and can only be slaughtered. The cavalry of the Luoyang Army has always paid attention to cavalry and shooting, and is both a cavalry and a crossbowman, so that even if the last general brings a crossbowman, it is useless, it is better to only lead 10,000 cavalry, but it is convenient to act! ”

"Ten thousand cavalry!" As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, Liu Wei smiled, pressed the low table in front of him with both hands, leaned forward slightly, looked at Zhao Yun and said: "The Huns have 100,000 cavalry to the south, and Zilong only led 10,000 cavalry to meet the enemy. It's really daring, it's just ......"

"Your Highness!" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Xu Shu on the side hugged his fists and said to him: "The Luoyang army has a total of 30,000 cavalry, and His Royal Highness led 10,000 to conquer Gongsun Zan earlier. There are 20,000 left, 10,000 to guard against the surroundings of Luoyang, although the Hun army will not come, a small force of attack is possible, if there is no cavalry, it is difficult to deal with. In this way, those who can go out with Zilong will only have 10,000 cavalry! ”

"Ugh!" Originally, Liu Wei wanted to allocate more soldiers and horses to Zhao Yun, Xu Shu's words really poured a basin of cold water on him, he was stunned for a while, and after a while, he nodded helplessly, looked at Zhao Yun and said: "This king wanted to give Zilong more soldiers and horses, but he had no choice but to have no soldiers and horses." Zilong fights more with less, and the Huns are an ethnic group that grew up on horseback, and they have always been good at horse warfare. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured!" After getting the order of Liu Wei to lead the army to Chang'an to intercept the Xiongnu, Zhao Yun hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down and thanked Liu Wei.

"Tai Shici, Zhang Liao!" After assigning the task to Zhao Yun, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Tai Shici and Zhang Liao who were kneeling on one side, and instructed the two: "This time to meet the Huns, Zhao Yun is the main general, you two are the deputy generals, all actions are subject to Zilong's allocation, if Zilong leaves the camp for some reason, you two have full authority to command the army!" ”

was appointed as a deputy general by Liu Bian, Tai Shi Ci didn't feel anything, but Zhang Liao was full of astonishment, his eyes were round with a shocked face, and he was stunned until Tai Shi Ci strode into the middle of the hall and received the order, he came back to his senses under Gao Shun's whispered reminder on the side, hurriedly strode to Tai Shi Ci's side, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "The last general has not finished the size of the work, His Royal Highness has entrusted this important task, and the last general will definitely live up to His Royal Highness's expectations!" ”

Nodding at Zhang Liao, Liu Wei looked around at the important task again, and after a while, he said loudly: "Han Xian, Yang Feng, Pei Yuanshao!" You and the other three, this time for General Zhao's tent front, with Zilong to meet the Huns, as soon as military affairs, when obeying General Zhao's allocation, can you understand? ”

"The end will be clear!" Liu Wei ordered them to accompany Zhao Yun on the expedition, Han Xian and the others hurriedly stood up, but not three people stood up, but four people, the main reason is that Yang Feng and Yang Feng's names are exactly the same, even if they don't want to listen to it, it is impossible.
