After Liu Bei led the reinforcements to the battlefield, he set up camp, personally reconnoitred the situation, and observed the Qiang troops and the besieged county town of Lintao.

Liu Bei was very pleased with Zhang Fei's success in sticking to the city.

After all, Zhang Fei did not lose Longxi like he lost Xuzhou, but persevered from the beginning.

Zhang Fei has indeed undergone a lot of changes, from the beginning of the prison system talent who opened his mouth and stabbed holes and closed his mouth to decide life and death, to the current qualified 2,000 stone Longxi county guard, his changes are what Liu Bei has seen with his own eyes.

His attitude towards learning has changed from "learning a fart" to taking the initiative to learn, and finally he can even write government affairs reports and military affairs reports for him independently, and he has made great progress in this regard.

The staff of the Longxi County Department and the Department of Selecting Talents and Engaged in the Department of Selecting Talents had a view of Zhang Fei, from a novice who was "in a hurry and needed the help of his subordinates to govern the locality" to a qualified county guard who "can independently complete most of the government affairs", and Zhang Fei did not take a long time.

Maybe it's really the environment that changes people, or it's the growth from the inside out in various senses, Zhang Fei is indeed different from the past.

In the future, Zhang Fei can indeed be entrusted with more and more important things.

Liu Bei smiled and looked at Xun Yu beside him again.

"Gongda, how did you feel when you first went to the battlefield?"

"Breathtaking."

Xun You said slowly: "In any case, before you saw 10,000 people with your own eyes, you can't imagine how many people are in 10,000 people, and what the scale is. ”

"Well, 10,000 soldiers are driving, 10,000 people, it is really an existence that can turn the situation around, the ancients said that 10,000 people can run rampant in the enemy's territory, which is the truth."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Gongda thinks, how should this battle be conducted?" ”

"Try to say it for the prince, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope the prince will correct it."

"Okay."

"The reason why the Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei and other barbarians from outside the Saiwai invaded Dahanzhou County was nothing more than property, food and other necessities for life."

Xun You said slowly: "They can't produce themselves, so they want to invade and rob, this winter is very cold, and there was a heavy snowfall before, they should have rested at this moment to survive the cold winter."

But the fact is that they are interconnected and invade Longxi County, and the only reason is that the severe cold makes it difficult for them to survive, and they must rob our Liangzhou materials in order to survive.

In this way, they must be thinking of fighting a battle that ends as soon as possible, and even thinking of looting and leaving before our state capital can react, so that our state government is powerless and can only wait for the spring of the next year to go on the expedition, so that this cold winter will pass.

But they never expected that Zhang Fujun would lead the troops to defend Lintao County, so that they could not even break through Lintao County, and it would be delayed for a long time, and the speed of our state government's reaction was far beyond their imagination. ”

After Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Jia Xu on the other side.

"Wenhe, do you think what Gongda said is reasonable?"

Jia Xu squinted at Xun You and hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Gongda has never lived in Liangzhou, but he also knows something about the barbarians outside the Saiwai, and he is worthy of being from a wealthy family, and what he says is to the point, and there is nothing to say."

Xun You's face does not change color.

"Jia Jun's praise is just speculation."

"Then Gongda might as well speculate and speculate, when this barbarian sees my army attacking, will he withdraw his troops in a hurry, or will he be stubborn and continue to invade?"

Jia Xu looked at Xun Yu with a smile on his face.

Xun You's face still didn't change.

"Since they have come to plunder money and goods, and now they have lost a lot of soldiers in order to plunder money and goods, the matter has come to this point, and it has become a difficult situation to ride a tiger.

If the army is withdrawn without fighting, how can the manpower lost before be recovered? Without an explanation, the leaders of the people are afraid that it will be difficult to survive this cold winter, so they will inevitably continue to invade. ”

Jia Xu put away his smile and glanced at Xun Yougao.

"Junhou, Xu also has the same opinion, they have no way back, unless the head man can't think of committing suicide, he will definitely continue to fight and fight the trapped beast."

"Well, it's a coincidence, I feel the same way."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Gongda has such insight when he first goes to the battlefield, he is worthy of being a child of the Xun family, it seems that the Xun family is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, full of talents, and well-educated." ”

"You are a subordinate of the prince, think about the prince, put the prince first in everything, and should not pretend to be the son of the Xun family."

Xun You bowed again: "Since you are deep in Liangzhou, you have no other thoughts, but I am willing to serve the prince and the prince!" ”

That's smart.

All of a sudden, I heard my own off-strings.

The background and starting point of these children of high-ranking families are really much better than those of the poor and the common people, and the educational resources that are extremely precious and even untouchable for the children of the poor and the common people are commonplace on their side, and they can get them without reaching out.

In this era, all the basic common sense and ruling knowledge mastered by the high-level leaders were open to them, the theory was directly full, and in practice, there were also protégés and former officials of the family who operated with their own hands, not for a year or two, and each was a skilled bureaucrat.

So as long as you are willing to be motivated and study hard, but anyone with a normal IQ, with the support of the family, can also achieve a career, and the achievement cannot be low, not to mention that Xun You is still so smart.

The advantage of the big family over the children of the Han family and the common people is too great, but as long as they are willing to roll, the children of the Han family and the common people will never come out.

But for now, the victory of this battle is already in Liu Bei's grasp.

As they expected, the Qiang coalition army still decided to continue fighting, they concentrated their forces in a position, and took the initiative to come in the direction where Liu Bei's army was, as if they wanted to fight to the death with Liu Bei's army.

Liu Bei also smoothly arranged his troops and lined up to face the battle.

There was no suspense in this battle from the beginning, whether it was in terms of the number of troops, weapons and equipment, or morale, the Qiang coalition army could not be compared with the Han army.

The Han army's armor rate, shield use rate, and weapon sophistication far exceeded that of the Qiang coalition army, and it soon appeared on the battlefield that the Qiang people's weapons could not break through the Han army's armor defenses, while the Han army's knives could kill the Qiang coalition soldiers with one sword.

The fighting between the two sides has been one-sided from the beginning, and this trend has become more pronounced as time has passed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhige immediately approached Fanda and Su Heduo for further discussion.

"The situation is not in our favor, we should send all the cavalry to attack the Han army and crush the Han army's formation, otherwise we will definitely lose! If you lose here, what's the difference between dying and dying? ”

Fanda gritted his teeth.

"Then I will lead the troops to attack, I will personally attack, but if I win, I will distribute the spoils, I will get the most and the best, you can't object."

"Yes!"

Zhige nodded immediately.

Neither did Sydo, and acquiesced in this agreement.

So Fanda turned over his horse, relying on his proficiency in riding and archery, and led the cavalry to attack the Han army.

On the Han side, Liu Yong and Liu Sheng were leading the infantry army to fight against the Qiang people, and when they saw the Qiang cavalry attacking, Liu Bei waved his hand and ordered, and Xu Huang led the cavalry to attack.

Xu Huang received the order and immediately led the cavalry to attack in the direction of the Qiang cavalry.

The result was still about the same, the huge gap in equipment made it impossible for the Qiang to have an advantage at all, their arrows could hardly break through the armor defenses of the Han cavalry, while the hand crossbows of the Han cavalry could easily break through their defenses.

The result of the two sides firing was that the Qiang cavalry turned on their backs, and the Han cavalry rushed into the formation of the Qiang cavalry and opened a big killing, and the situation soon tilted towards the Han army again.
