Chapter 54: Liu Bei returns

After bargaining with Mi Zhu for a long time, he finally reached a consensus on twelve jars of wine a month, plus some extra meat as a reward.

Mi Zhu also didn't expect that Zhang Fei, the black guy, had actually learned to talk tricks, and he didn't expect that Zhang Yuanchang, who looked quite honest, turned out to be with that black guy.

The words of rewarding ten altars at a time were said by Mi Zhu himself, but who knew that these two goods actually played tricks with themselves in the number of rewards.

You must know that the lord Liu Bei also conducts two drills a year, and gives the whole army two rewards, and the total number of rewards each time will not exceed fifty jars of wine...... Can these two really not understand this rule?!

Mi Zhu had no choice but to put on two more jars of wine, so that these two goods would not be too much...... Seeing that the New Year is coming, everywhere is a place where money is needed, how can there be time to deal with these two goods.

Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi are already very satisfied.

That is, Zhang Fei listened to Zhang Xi this time, first the lion opened his mouth, and then Zhang Xi helped to line the cliché, otherwise how could there be today's harvest.

And after having wine, Zhang Fei suddenly felt that he had enough confidence, and the next day he found six elementary schools to have a meeting together to discuss this frolicking in the army.

When several elementary schools heard this, not only did they have to divide their ranks, but they also had rewards, and the rewards were actually related to wine...... Who wouldn't care about this?!

Just one ranking made several small schools prepare to do a big job.

For the low-level soldiers, what rank may not be as important as a piece of meat, but at the level of a junior colonel, what is sought is to go to the next level...... If you are always ranked last in the army, do you have the confidence to compete with me for promotion?!

Therefore, for the primary schools, it doesn't matter if they drink or not, the ranking is the key.

And for the soldiers under their respective commands, not to mention wine, there are other meat rewards, which is the motivation for their efforts.

Now that the requirements of the upper and lower levels have been met, what else can I say, let's start practicing.

If there are conditions, such as Kou Feng and Zhang Fei's trilogy school, they are naturally ready to prepare gifts, either invite Zhang Xi or Zhang Fei, and ask for this trick of playfulness.

Everyone has seen the first Keju competition, and the kind of abuse that the two teams can have is completely the result of two people's private teaching.

And Zhang Xi and Zhang Fei are also happy to see this happen, after all, their purpose is not only to train soldiers, but also to train generals.

How to train and arrange the troops, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi will not say, even if Kou Feng begs Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi will not say anything.

If you say that, you won't be able to achieve the purpose of training generals.

Both of them just told the colonels that the football field was like the battlefield, and that each player was a team under their command, which was essentially a game of siege and defense.

How to break through the "city gate" or defend the "city gate" is something that this group of small schools has to consider, so in the next competition, the small school will be assessed and ranked, and each small school must stand next to its own team to command.

In this way, a group of people prepared for five days, and finally saw each other in the school field.

Some people believe that when two armies meet, the brave wins, such as Kou Feng, he just let his team rush and fight, gain an advantage before the other side can react, and then besiege.

Some people believe in putting death and then rejuvenating, such as Zhang Fei's trilogy team, first let the other party attack, and then find the opponent's flaws, and kill with one blow.

Of course, there are also people who are more balanced, develop in a balanced way, and try to win through a dignified formation, and there are also people who only take that road when they are strong, relying on the bias attack.

The final result is, of course, victory and defeat, the winner is arrogant, and the loser is unwilling to die...... And this time, the reward finally belonged to the small school of Zhang Fei's team.

The reason is also very simple, Zhang Fei's subordinates themselves have superior physical fitness, plus the people who can be Zhang Fei's subordinates also have certain command ability, after figuring out the principle of the formation, it is normal to win.

There is no hidden commander-level bull in Zhang Fei's army, who can offset the advantage of physical fitness with the deployment and command alone, and there is no such person with advanced tactical vision who can see through the opponent's offensive routine at the first time and respond immediately.

In the end, what is fought is the physical fitness and willpower of the soldiers on the field, and the command ability of the colonel, and it is reasonable for Zhang Fei's subordinate colonel to win.

As for the follow-up...... It's hard to say.

Although Zhang Fei's troops have superior physical fitness, the gap between the two is not too big, and it is not completely impossible to overcome such an enemy on the battlefield.

As for the level of command...... Counting Kou Feng's total of six schools, no one felt that the other party was much stronger than him

After all, it's a frolic, not a frontal battle.

You don't have a chance to fight on the frontal battlefield again, and frolicking, once every five days, if you lose this time, you can find a way to win it back next time.

If there are any flaws in your team, then find a way to avoid them, and if you make any mistakes this time, then correct them next time...... That's the purpose of training.

In this way, the army drilled every five days, and after the drill was over, it was the main event - Keju frolicking.

In the army, every day is like this, there are games to play, there are no games to prepare for games, so that a group of soldiers are about to forget, the New Year is about to be.

Zhang Xi and Zhang Fei didn't forget that before the Chinese New Year, Liu Bei always had to return to Xinye from Xiangyang.

As soon as Liu Bei comes back from Xiangyang, he will definitely bring back new news, and he will also arrange corresponding new deployments.

And Liu Bei really returned to Xinye in mid-December, and as soon as he came back, he really gathered his subordinates and began to discuss the response plan for the new year.

Liu Bei went to Xiangyang, not only successfully let Guan Yu guard Fancheng, but also had a good relationship with the Jingxiang family, and he was in a good mood since he came back.

In one point, Cao Cao in the north is always the biggest threat.

Although Cao Ren's army was repulsed, it was only a partial division after all, and once Cao Cao freed up his hands from the north, sooner or later he would go south to Jingzhou.

This is not only known to Liu Bei, but also very clear to Liu Biao, otherwise he would not have agreed to let Guan Yu guard Fancheng.

Guan Yu can be said to be the most famous and capable commander-in-chief general in the entire Jingxiang ground, and there is no one more suitable for guarding Fancheng than him.

Although Guan Yu is Liu Bei's person, if Cao Cao's strong threat is considered, Liu Biao is also willing to cooperate with Liu Bei temporarily.

It can't be said who is using whom, after all, the common enemy of Liu Bei and Liu Biao is Cao Cao. At least until Cao Cao's threat is removed, Liu Biao will not only not harm Liu Bei, but will also try his best to meet Liu Bei's needs.

Liu Biao, although his level is a little worse, but he is Jingxiang Bajun, and he is a person who has gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou as an outsider, he can't be stupid Bai Tian, and it is impossible for him not to know the thoughts of the Jingxiang family under his command.

But Liu Biao didn't want to surrender, at least he never thought about surrendering to Cao Cao when he was alive, otherwise he had a chance, so why wait until now.

Now Liu Biao also knows that his subordinates are unreliable, so let them guard Fancheng, maybe one day Cao Jun will appear under Xiangyang City, so he will reach a tacit understanding with Liu Bei and cooperate with each other to fight against Cao Cao.

But Liu Biao also has Liu Biao's difficulties, that is, Liu Biao has not many troops that he can actually control, and he needs to rely on these people to suppress the ambitions of the Jingzhou family, so he can't support Liu Bei too much in terms of troops.

On the other hand, Liu Biao also wanted to prevent Liu Bei from taking this opportunity to become bigger, so he was only willing to give Liu Bei a limited degree of support, such as support in terms of grain and grass.

This also has an advantage, that is, Liu Biao can control Liu Bei's army more practically.

Xinye is a small city, with limited grain production, and Fancheng is similar to the concept of a semi-military zone, all around it is prepared for war, and the arable land has long been abandoned, so Liu Beijun's grain and grass supply must be achieved through Liu Biao's subsidies.

If Liu Bei has any changes, or wants to take the opportunity to become bigger, Liu Biao will cut off the grain and grass, and Liu Bei will be very uncomfortable.

Liu Biao thought about it very well, but Liu Bei was not a person who sat still.

On the one hand, he instructed Guan Yu to organize the people to reclaim the famine as much as possible while holding on to Fancheng.

On the other hand, the purpose of his friendship with the Xiangyang family is also to obtain the support of the Xiangyang family and obtain a stable supply channel of grain and grass from the family.

But in this family, which one is not an old fox, who would bet the fate of the family on a person who doesn't even have their own territory?!

The Huang family in Jingzhou is the closest family to Liu Bei, but even so, the Huang family still has no intention of cooperating with Liu Bei thoroughly, but only symbolically gave a sum of money and grain to Liu Bei in the name of Jiangxia Huang Zu.

Therefore, after Liu Bei returned to Xinye, on the one hand, he began to preside over the defense of Xinye, and on the other hand, he also came back specifically to discuss with Zhang Xi and Xu Shu about seeking Jiangxia.

Don't look at Fan Cheng in hand, it seems that Liu Bei already has a relatively rich area...... Actually, no.

Fancheng has always been the barrier of Xiangyang, and it has been operated by Liu Biao as the defense line of Xiangyang over the years, and the people in this place have basically been moved to Xiangyang by Liu Biao, and those stationed here are basically the army.

It was not until Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou and took Xiangyang that Fancheng would gain a certain degree of development with Xiangyang Jiancheng blocking the south...... But even so, the essence of Fancheng as a military fortress has not been changed, otherwise Cao Ren would not have relied on it to hold on to Guan Yu's attack for a year, giving Xu Huang a chance to break through Guan Yu.

It is inappropriate to use Fancheng as a development base at any time, he is not a stable rear, and there are not enough people to cultivate.

The only advantage of Fancheng is that relying on Fancheng, you can go south along the Han River and quickly communicate with Xiangyang, Nanjun, and Jiangxia.

Don't think about Xiangyang and Nanjun, unless Liu Biao is dead in these places, there is absolutely no room for Liu Bei to interfere.

It's Jiangxia...... Without Fancheng, Xinye would have to take a large land route to communicate with Jiangxia, and it may have to pass through Xiangyang in the middle, but now with Fancheng, Jiangxia's supplies only need to go north along the Han River to reach Fancheng.

Although it is also very troublesome, the section from Jiangxia to Fancheng is considered to be upstream, but it is always much more convenient than taking the road in a secret.

Now Liu Bei is beginning to be tempted by Jiang Xia.

What's more, Liu Bei has also talked to Jingxiang's Huang family, and there are many dissatisfaction with Jiangxia Huang Zu and the Huang family...... If this is the case, as long as the operation is better, there is no need to worry about Jingxiang Huang's face, and maybe he can be supported by the Huang family in turn.
