Things have come to this point, and Liu Bei knows what he will face next.

So after returning to his barracks, Liu Bei summoned all his subordinate officers and Chinese personnel, held a military meeting with them, announced to them what might be a hard battle next, and asked them to prepare more.

Some of the subordinates were very excited, happy that they had been able to accomplish something, while others looked worried, and obviously had more other considerations.

After the meeting, Guan Yu expressed concern about this matter, and found Liu Bei to persuade him, telling him not to take risks in person and not to lead troops to charge in person.

"The eldest brother always likes to take the lead in battles in the past, which can certainly boost morale, but the significance of the main general is to command and give orders, and it is the center of gravity of the whole army.

Obviously, Guan Yu understood Liu Bei's habit of taking the lead in charging and fighting fiercely in the past, after all, they were good brothers who had fought side by side for many years.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, who was obviously sharper and more majestic during this time, and smiled happily.

"Yun Chang has this heart, I'm very happy, don't worry, I won't take the risk myself."

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei very suspiciously.

"Really?"

"Don't even your big brother believe it?"

"My eldest brother has said such things before, but every time I am personally in danger, so I am very nervous every time."

"You won't be nervous when you look at Yide, I'm also from many years of experience, and I'm not a novice."

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly.

"When Yide goes to war, he is like a madman."

Guan Yu smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter in the past, but today, the eldest brother is obviously different from the past, more and more people rely on the power of the eldest brother to gain a foothold in Luoyang, and the identity and status of the eldest brother are completely different from the past, the eldest brother must cherish himself." ”

Liu Bei looked Guan Yu up and down, and nodded with interest.

"Yes, Yun Chang has grown."

Guan Yu nodded immediately.

"The matter of the eldest brother, even if I am in the army, I will never ignore it, and so will Yide."

"Hahahahaha, very good, very good."

Liu Bei hugged Guan Yu affectionately, and then said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Yun Chang, you were the first to follow me, you have never ignored me, and I will never ignore you, I will always watch you." ”

Guan Yu's mood was obviously high.

"In this battle, I am willing to cut off the head of a thief for my eldest brother!"

Liu Bei found it interesting.

"Although the thieves in Liangzhou are arrogant, they are all capable, to survive in a place like Liangzhou and get ahead, it is necessary to be fierce and good at fighting, is Yun Chang confident?"

"For others, maybe they have a little ability, in front of me, they are just local chickens and dogs, and they are the first to sell the first place!"

Guan Yu looked very confident.

For his confidence, Liu Bei likes it very much.

"In that case, then I'll wait for Yun Chang to dedicate the head of a thief to me."

"Yui! The feather will not be dishonored! ”

Guan Yu blushed, stroked a beard of considerable scale, and strode away from Liu Bei's military tent to make preparations.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Liu Bei reflected on what he had done in the past period of time, and found that he was indeed a little snub to the first group of old people who followed him, and focused more on the newcomers.

Taking care of the newcomers in every possible way, and there are many co-optations, while there are not too many concerns about the elderly, this is not the behavior of a qualified leader, and it is a dereliction of duty for a leader.

The old people who follow him also need his care and love.

When he wrote letters before, he only wrote quite sensual love letters to Han Ning and Han Xiaodie, and then wrote greeting letters to his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his own mother.

But in addition to his family, there are many people who deserve his warmth.

Thinking like this, Liu Bei summoned Zhang Fei one after another, had a conversation with him, and greeted him with a warm man's heart, so Zhang Fei's mood increased significantly.

Well, showing a warm man's heart from Big Brother can sometimes have a good effect, and sometimes it is no worse than real money.

How can you be too lazy to do such a good thing that is cheap and doesn't cost money?

So Liu Bei decided to become the first warm man in the Han Dynasty, in addition to interests, but also to use emotions to connect everyone's hearts together, warm the hearts of men, warm everyone, and increase their loyalty.

Thinking like this, Liu Bei wrote another letter to Ji Jian, who was far away in Youzhou, expressing his concern for him.

After writing this letter, Liu Bei thought of Lu Zhi again, remembered the trick, remembered Liu Yong and Liu Sheng, and remembered a group of subordinates who helped under Lu Zhi, so he decided to write a letter to them in one breath and send intimate greetings from Nuan Nan.

Then he thought of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao, the big dog, Zheng Xuan, the little old man, and Cai Yong, the old-timer, and felt that it was necessary to write to them and make some greetings.

Although politicians should avoid being disturbed by emotions to make rational judgments, emotions themselves are also a sharp weapon for politicians, and if they are used well, they will be more effective than real money.

Liu Bei has always believed in this.

So this is the first warm man in the big man, he should be decided!

After the emotional exchange is over, the rest will rely on hard power, and Liu Bei has full confidence in himself.

He's tall and hard!

The Liangzhou soldiers are indeed fierce, the Han and Qiang people in Liangzhou are passive natural warriors as Dong Huang said, but despite this, they are also human beings, they will also be injured, they will also bleed, and they will be afraid!

In the competition for who is more afraid of death, he Liu Xuande has not lost to anyone!

On the sixth day of September in the second year of Zhongping, the first official battle since Zhang Wen took over as commander was about to begin.

This battle was not that Zhang Wen completely grasped the initiative, because after the rebels detected the movements of the Han army, they also asked for reinforcements, and a large number of rebel reinforcements arrived at the Meiyang front, seemingly planning to face the Han army face to face to see who was tougher.

The Liangzhou rebels seem to have made up their minds to take root in Youfufeng, and they are full of interest in this important area that is scattered throughout the Western Han Emperor's Mausoleum.

It should be said or not, although the Liangzhou rebels are far inferior to the regular army of the Han army in terms of logistical capabilities and war potential, but in terms of courage, they can almost be said to be fearless.

However, due to a series of internal contradictions, the Han army lacked the opportunity to fully exert its strength.

And although the logistics of the Han army are stronger, no one can say for sure about internal attrition.

No, less than a month after the army arrived in Meiyang, Liu Bei got a report from Han Hao, who helped with logistics affairs, and reported to Zhang Wen the three army grain managers who were guarding and stealing.

In a very short period of time, they actually got in touch with some local forces in Youfufeng, and expressed their willingness to sell military rations to local forces at a lower price in exchange for wealth.

Then they were even ready to resell military rations in exchange for wealth and then get together and run away to Jiangnan.

They planned to buy property in Shuzhong or some places in Jingzhou and live incognito.

Zhang Wen was so angry that he ordered the three people to be beheaded on the spot.

But for the local forces, it seems that because one of the families has something to do with the eunuchs in Luoyang City, Zhang Wen threw a mouse bogey, and he really couldn't deal with it, so he could only send someone to reprimand him.

How long has it been since someone stole and sold military rations?

And the boss can't punish the mastermind severely?

After this incident spread in the army, the soldiers talked about it, and the generals of various departments also complained about it, and Zhang Wen's situation was more embarrassing.

Zhang Wen threw a mouse, but Liu Bei didn't care about these things.
