Chapter 537: Liu Bei's New Goal
Li Yunfei didn't choose to sneak attack or anything, because Liu Bei's camp thirty miles away kept sending spies to observe the wind and grass in Puyang, and if something was wrong, he would run away immediately, so he couldn't sneak attack at all.
Of course, Li Yunfei's garrison rested in Puyang for ten days, in fact, it was to prepare some special equipment, these days Liu Bei never thought of launching an attack, but constantly sent spies to investigate Li Yunfei's movements.
His task is just to make Lu Bu's army unable to go south, so for him, it is best for Lu Bu to stay in Puyang City forever, and after a month or two, he can happily take more than 100,000 people to find a more stable place to develop the forces with peace of mind, in fact, some people have already been sent to find a suitable place.
More than 100,000 people can do a lot of things, and if you go to the border, on the infinitely vast land, you can even build a big empire based on this.
The Central Plains is really not able to get mixed up, and in the name of benevolence and righteousness, you can buy people's hearts everywhere, but now Lu Bu is doing better than him, and he is more popular, and the strength is not comparable at all, and Lu Bu alone in Kyushu in the world occupies five of them, so he still plans early.
Maybe it would be better to leave the Central Plains and go to Guanwai to find other development opportunities, Liu Bei, who was thinking hard about the way out in the future, finally made up his mind and left the Central Plains. The land outside the pass is incomparably vast, but the most suitable place for development is the Rulou area east of Fuyu in Liaodong, and the reason why Liu Bei knows there is because there are people from there among the soldiers sent by Gongsun Kang, and they have obtained a lot of information.
The territory over there is vast.,The population is not small.,The products are also quite rich.,It's just that the people there are still in the barbaric era of slash-and-burn farming.,People are also very barbaric.,But I'm also a strong soldier now.,If you bring tens of thousands of elite soldiers.,It's always not difficult to occupy a place with peace of mind for development.,And then find a way to sinicize those barbarians.,Gradually open up the wisdom of the people.。
It may be very hard to do this for the first few years, but as long as you have the foundation to settle down, everything is worth it, and you only need ten or eight years of stable development, which is enough to build an ideal kingdom of your own......
"Come on, go and call the second brother and the third brother and General Zilong to come to the meeting quickly......" After Liu Bei communicated, he suddenly had a feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky, and immediately found a few henchmen for a meeting.
……
After more than ten days of rest, Li Yunfei finally led more than 100,000 horses to Liu Bei's camp more than 30 miles away, but at the same time that Li Yunfei's troops left the city, Liu Bei's army also moved.
He has already thought about going to develop outside the border, of course he will not contact Li Yunfei's army, but after all, he is still a trustworthy person, no matter what kind of mentality he is in, he did not run away directly anyway, but carefully kept a distance from Li Yunfei's army.
Twenty miles forward here, twenty miles back, and twenty miles back there, camped here to bury pots and make rice, and they also began to bury pots and make rice, anyway, they kept sending spies to observe the movements of Li Yunfei's army from afar, and they really ran away at a glance from a distance, but Li Yunfei had a chance to catch people.
When Li Yunfei reversed the route, they would also follow silently, but they would always maintain a distance of more than 30 miles, and they would not leak......
It's not a way to always have a force watching from the sidelines, and it can't be left alone at all, so you have to find a way to defeat Liu Bei's troops.
"Huyi, now you will lead the army slowly forward, and I will quietly outflank it with a cavalry......"
"This matter must not be done, my lord, it is better for the last general to outflank him with cavalry!" As soon as he heard that Li Yunfei was going to take an adventure in person, Hu Yi immediately became anxious, although he said that he was invincible in the world, if he made a mistake, he could only apologize with death.
“…… Okay, you can take 30,000 cavalry with 300 field bed crossbows, and 3,000 burst arrows, take advantage of the night to break away from the team first, and then outflank the past, if you succeed in intercepting their troops, don't charge directly, set up bed crossbows on the spot, and greet them with burst arrows...... They are all descendants of Yan and Huang and don't need to kill more, as long as they don't charge you, all you have to do is disperse their team, and then bluff them...... "Since someone does it for him, Li Yunfei is also happy to be idle, but this outflanking is a technical job, and only if you fight obscenely, you will reduce the loss, so you deliberately explained it, and as for how to do it, it depends on Hu Yi's own decision."
Of course, the current people have not seen the bursting arrows, the thunder-like loud sound in the sky, the explosion does not kill people and scares people to death, in the face of the fear of unknown things, then Liu Bei's group of miscellaneous troops such as patchwork will inevitably collapse when they are suddenly attacked by this kind of preemptive attack.
After the rout, he also launched a charge, Liu Bei wants to regather the rout is absolutely impossible, he just needs to rush up to catch the prisoners, Liu Bei can only do as far as he can run, of course, he can also choose to break the cauldron and die with himself, not to underestimate him, to die he can only be the end of the annihilation of the whole army.
"No!" Tiger Yi excitedly went back to arrange.
“…… Lord, the students also want to lead the troops! Seeing Hu Yi go out with a large army, Thirty-six was really a little envious, Thirty-six hesitated for a long time, and finally said what he thought in his heart.
In principle, following the lord's side is a close minister, naturally there are many benefits, and he will be on the rise in the future, and he can easily become a big official, but he is a young brother after all, and he wants to go on a journey in person and establish a meritorious career......
"Thirty-six, if you want to lead the troops, you can only start with the captain, you can think clearly!"
"Yes, the student has thought clearly, and please fulfill it!"
"That's okay, according to reliable information, there are now less than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Yecheng, there is a serious shortage of food and grass, and more than half of the people in the city have turned to our army, and those defenders have no morale at all, now I order you to lead 6,000 elite soldiers to take Yecheng first." Li Yunfei directly gave an order, in fact, it can be regarded as a credit in disguise, if Thirty-six brings six thousand elite soldiers over and can't take it smoothly, it really can only mean that he is really not suitable for leading troops.
It is said that Yecheng was originally quite prosperous, where is Yuan Shao's lair, but Yuan Shao suddenly hung up, but did not choose an heir, so the three sons attacked quite fiercely in order to compete with each other for the position of inheritance, so many people here began to flee to the south one after another a few months ago. And some of the soldiers brought by Thirty-Six are from Yecheng, so it will make it a little less difficult to occupy there.
"Thank you, lord, the last general will take the order!" Six thousand soldiers and horses is the biggest standard of a strong army, and in the next step, it is at the level of a general, and the difficulty of this task is extremely low, which is equivalent to giving credit in disguise.
“…… You bring more grain and grass over, and when you get there, you don't need to rush to attack, make good use of the situation, it is best to directly press the defenders to open the city and surrender! Li Yunfei carefully explained again.
"Understood, thank you for your advice!"
"But you have to keep in mind the military discipline, if you let me know that you have done something illegal and undisciplined, I won't be able to spare you......"
"The last general understands that who he has been with for a long time will naturally understand the importance of discipline."
"Well, go ahead!"
"The last will retire!" Thirty-six finally left, this personal guard who had been with him for nearly a year, was the latest of the first batch of students to go out to make meritorious contributions, and he originally wanted to train him to be a managerial talent, but he didn't expect to become a general.
After sending thirty-six to collect Yecheng, he sent several generals to lead troops to capture other counties, and Li Yunfei decided to take down the nine counties of this Yizhou while pursuing Liu Bei's army. As for whether he could hold it, in fact, Li Yunfei never thought that the group of coalition troops that had already gone south would have a chance to come back.
Xu Shu has opened a huge pocket and collected all the coalition troops, but the group of people still doesn't know that they are already in danger, even if a few strategists feel that something is strange and persuade them, but in those careerists, they have occupied more than ten cities in a row, and the vanguard troops have approached Xuzhou.
They really thought that Li Yunfei's lair was very empty, and the main troops went to the south and the north respectively, while Liu Bei in the north was very competitive and successfully entangled Li Yunfei's main force and could not go south.
In fact, after Xuzhou's emergency recruitment order was issued, more than 500,000 elite troops were gathered a few days ago, plus the original 200,000 standing troops, and now the total number of troops near Xuzhou is more than 800,000......
