Chapter 671: Human Emperor Liu Bei
Qingzhou.
There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside Linzi City, and a cavalryman galloped quickly in the direction of the city. Passing through the city gate and entering the crowded area, not only did not slow down, but was a little faster.
Reaching out and holding the reins, he stopped in front of the governor's mansion, then turned over and dismounted and climbed the stairs.
The guards guarding outside the mansion did not dare to stop them, and stood respectfully on both sides, letting the man run inside. Listening to the footsteps that gradually faded away, I felt a suffocating breath for some reason.
"Newspaper"
"Qiyu Prefecture Mu, Xuzhou urgently asks for help"
Voices rang out in the lobby.
The civil and military forces in Qingzhou, who were discussing major matters, were suddenly in an uproar, what kind of changes can happen in Xuzhou now? Could it be that the Demon Emperor raised the power of Yangzhou to the north? But isn't the Demon Emperor leading the main force to storm Yuzhou? How could there be spare strength to surprise Xuzhou.
Could it be......
Four big characters appeared almost at the same time: Guangling Iron Cavalry.
However, although Xuzhou's strength was greatly damaged after losing Guangling County a year ago, its strength is still not to be underestimated, with 40,000 elite soldiers and horses. In the face of 30,000 recruits, how can they fall into decline? And to the point where you have to ask Qingzhou for help?
The man sitting on the throne pondered, but his reaction was not slow at all. Standing up and walking over to the soldier, he reached out to take the bamboo slip, and then slowly opened it in front of him.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were standing on the left and right, also walked over at the same time and watched from above.
Then he gasped, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Jia Xu, the military advisor of the demon clan, designed an ambush to kill the main force of Xuzhou, and killed 10,000 enemies with momentum like a rainbow"
"At this time, the army has come to the city of Xuzhou, so I urgently ask for help from Qingzhou"
Liu Bei said slowly.
The news I saw on the bamboo slips also came to my mind, and my heart seemed to be overturned. During this period of time, since the troops were raised and rushed to Qingzhou, there were basically no hard battles along the way, and those Qingzhou yellow scarves fell in the wind, and the momentum of the emperor on his body also soared.
I thought that from the beginning of ascending to the throne of Qingzhou Mu, I would be able to achieve the emperor's hegemony smoothly, but this letter for help was no less than a resounding slap in the face. Let yourself be completely awakened from the endless fantasy.
A Jia Xu plus 30,000 cavalry trained for only a year. actually killed 40,000 Xuzhou elites and threw away their armor, and even had to pay a painful price for it.
Thinking of this, I can't help but start to make assumptions, if I am a Xuzhou pastor, can I do better with the current situation?
The answer is no.
Qingzhou took it too smoothly, even to the point where he got carried away.
If he faced the attack of 30,000 Guangling iron cavalry, as well as Jia Xu's repeated arrangements, I am afraid that he would be even more unbearable.
The civil and military forces in the room looked at each other, and all of them looked embarrassed. Qingzhou and Xuzhou are cold lips and teeth, at this time Xuzhou is in danger of destruction, if Qingzhou stands by and watches, then once Yangzhou swallows Xuzhou. Then the next step is to join forces with Chongzhou and launch an attack on Qingzhou from the south and the east, so if you want to keep Qingzhou, you can only send troops to help Xuzhou.
However, Qingzhou is in ruins, and it can even be said to be a ruin. Even food needs to rely on Youzhou for relief, and where is there much spare strength to help Xuzhou.
Gu Yong, dressed as a scribe, bowed to Liu Bei.
"It stands to reason that my Qingzhou should immediately rush to Xuzhou, which is not only an alliance, but also out of my own Qingzhou considerations"
"It's just that my Qingzhou is in ruins, and the land is all barren. If you want to raise food for tens of thousands of troops, I'm afraid there is still some strength to be done."
"What's more, 30,000 demon soldiers and horses are at the junction of the Western Front, once a large-scale army is mobilized, it must be difficult to hold for a long time. At that time, not only did Xuzhou not hold it, but Qingzhou would face the danger of losing it."
"I'm afraid the situation will be dire"
Jian Yong said to Liu Bei.
Zhang Feiman's nonchalant interjection.
"Isn't there still General Gongsun? Even if 30,000 demon soldiers and horses can attack them, I can let them have no return."
"Inappropriate"
Guan Yu said aloud.
Zhang Fei wanted to refute a few words, but when he saw that it was Guan Yu, he swallowed it.
"General Gongsun guards the eastern part of Jizhou, but the eastern part of Jizhou is indeed Yuan Shao's lair, and this person is deeply rooted in the Bohai Sea. If we want to solve the eastern problem in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will be beyond our imagination?"
"And Guangling suddenly sent troops and killed 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers and horses, didn't Jizhou receive the news? I'm afraid that at this time, Yuan Jizhou has already begun to deploy troops to prepare for the recapture of the eastern part of Jizhou."
Guan Yu said to everyone.
In fact, most of the meaning of the words was for Zhang Fei, afraid that this reckless man would do some irrational things again.
"I don't know what the second brother has to do?"
"Nope"
Guan Yu shook his head at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei not only let out a long sigh in his heart, but also the scene he saw from the long river of fate came to his mind. I don't know where my Terran Zhuge military master is at this time? If I can wait for him to succeed in his arts, and go to him in person to ask for assistance, I am afraid things will be much better.
"Xuzhou has to be saved, but I Qingzhou also has to be guarded"
Gu Yong said to Liu Bei.
Looking around at the colleagues in the lobby, he organized his words in his mind, and then spoke slowly.
"Although Xuzhou was defeated, there were still 30,000 elites. Therefore, the lord can send 20,000 troops to rush to help, so that only my Qingzhou treasury can barely maintain, and there are 40,000 troops stationed on the western front and Linzi can be foolproof."
"If Xuzhou changes again, it will not be too late for the lord to lead a large army to aid Xuzhou, and Qingzhou and the eastern part of Jizhou are connected, and they can drag 30,000 demon soldiers and horses on the border. Wouldn't it be better if General Gongsun had an accident and could immediately come back to help? ”
Gu Yong talked eloquently.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes lit up.
It's not that you can't solve the crisis, but because you're confined to one place. Xuzhou is not as weak as he imagined, although it was defeated, there are still 30,000 elites.
In terms of troops, it is comparable to the Guangling Iron Cavalry under the city, and it also occupies a favorable location and people. If he is sending 20,000 troops, Xuzhou will have 50,000 soldiers and horses.
With 50,000 people and the benefit of the city wall, how can they not be blocked from Xuzhou City? Moreover, Qingzhou also has 40,000 soldiers and horses, which can deal with the two opposites of the north and south at any time, which is a more prudent way.
Thinking clearly about the twists and turns, Liu Bei immediately made an absolute decision and looked at Guan Yu.
As if feeling something, Guan Yu puffed up his chest, and a strong battle intent spread at this moment. All the division of troops must be led by themselves, and it seems that the main general who rushed to the aid of Xuzhou no longer has any suspense.
"Second Brother"
"In"
"20,000 soldiers rushed to Xuzhou"
"No"
Guan Yu replied loudly, and then bowed and walked out of the lobby.
Looking at the distant back, Liu Bei seemed to think of something and looked a little depressed. The second brother is extraordinary, but he is too arrogant, and he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to let him go on the expedition.
