Although Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, and burned down the palace, government, and houses in Luoyang, and drove the people into the customs, a large number of Xiliang soldiers were stationed around Luoyang, and there were Lu Bu, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Dong Yue and other fierce generals as minions.

In November last year, Dong Zhuo led his army across Mong Tin and defeated Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi.

Zhu Jun is just stationed in the surrounding area, not Zhu Jun can look at the wind as soon as he presents Luoyang and the east of this Tongguan.

A dilapidated Luoyang can only give King Qin's soldiers and horses a temporary foothold.

If you want to reach Chang'an, you must first clear the checkpoints along the way from Tiger Prison Pass to Tongguan.

The situation in Chang'an and Luoyang, even if Zheng Ping doesn't say it, Lu Zhi is very clear.

Lu Zhi also understood Zheng Ping's worries, which was that he was worried that he would rush forward alone and fall into Dong Zhuo's ambush.

"Conspiracy, the momentum of the march, the shape of the formation, the old man also knows the truth! Won't be presumptuous. Lu Zhi's eyes were blazing.

Zheng Ping paused and swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.

In the westward expedition to Chang'an, Lu Zhi must have deduced the plan for advancing the army for a long time.

Zheng Ping's purpose was only to remind, not to have a tactical debate with Lu Zhi.

"How many soldiers and horses is Master Lu going to bring?" Liu Bei asked.

Lu Shi stroked his hair slightly: "The old man is about to talk about this!" The Western Liang army was brave, mostly cavalry, and if it advanced with infantry, it would not only be slow to march, but also not conducive to pursuing the enemy. ”

"Therefore, this expedition should be dominated by cavalry!"

"When the old man went south, Yide borrowed five hundred cavalry from Bogui, and these five hundred cavalry would follow the old man west."

"Zhuojun Jian'er has also formed more than 1,000 cavalry, plus the original cavalry in Qingzhou, it is enough to gather 2,000 cavalry."

These two thousand cavalry can be said to be Liu Bei's biggest capital.

Once 2,000 cavalry is transferred, Liu Bei's cavalry in Qingzhou will not exceed 300 cavalry, and he will be scattered in six counties.

"Master Lu, do you only bring two thousand cavalry? Wouldn't it be too much? Liu Bei was a little worried.

Dong Zhuo originally had 3,000 flying bear troops, all of whom were elite cavalrymen, and in Luoyang, he also incorporated the cavalry of He Jin and others, known as 8,000 iron cavalry.

There are more than 40,000 elite foot soldiers, plus recruits formed by homeless people along the way, and there are nearly 100,000 foot cavalry under his command.

Although these 50,000 elite soldiers and 50,000 recruits are also to be scattered in the seven counties of Sili, this is only a peacetime station.

In the event of a war, these soldiers and horses stationed in various places will rush to the battlefield.

Lu Zhi shook his head: "The soldiers are not expensive!" Two thousand cavalry was very convenient to advance or retreat. Yuan Shu is also fighting against Dong Zhuo, and the old man is not alone. ”

Liu Bei looked at Zheng Ping and saw that Zheng Ping didn't say much, so he could only agree to Lu Shi's transfer.

In addition to Guan Yu, who was the vanguard, Liu Bei also transferred Tian Yu, who also commanded the cavalry, to Lu Zhi.

After the discussion was settled, Liu Bei and Zheng Ping came out together and came to a secluded place.

"Xianmou, Master Lu is too light on the enemy, why don't you persuade more." Liu Bei's tone was a little anxious.

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly, and his eyes were a little deeper: "Are you worried that these two thousand cavalry will be lost in Luoyang?" ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Xianmou, I do have the idea that the cavalry will be damaged, but I am more worried about the oath of Master Lu!" ”

"You and I both know very well that this time Qin Wang Jingnan is actually fulfilling the promise I made to Lu Shi."

"However, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Guanqi army have failed to defeat Dong Zhuo, how can the Lu division succeed with only 2,000 cavalry?"

"Even if there is a Yuan Shu strategy in the south, the hope of success is slim."

"If the war goes badly, I'm afraid—"

Although Liu Bei didn't say the last sentence, Zheng Ping had already guessed what Liu Bei wanted to say.

Zheng Ping looked in the direction of Chang'an: "Let you know that my uncle has three sons. Two of the sons died in the war, but only a seven-year-old son remains. ”

Liu Bei nodded: "I naturally know, so I am more worried about the safety of Master Lu." ”

Zheng Ping sighed lightly: "Envoy, a generation has a generation's pursuit, and my uncle is over fifty years old." ”

"The hidden diseases left by the perennial war, the suffering of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people, and the loneliness of not being able to repay the young lord of Jun En Kuang have already made my uncle full of holes."

"Determine the major events in the world, so that you and I still have at least twenty years to fight, we can wait!"

"But Uncle can't wait!"

"If you don't let your uncle go to Luoyang, the disappointment will break my uncle's will."

"I don't persuade it, because my uncle has already calculated many times the number of troops that Qingzhou can mobilize."

"It's not that my uncle doesn't know the disparity in troops, it's that there are no more soldiers and horses in Qingzhou to mobilize."

Liu Bei was worried: "Obvious planning is good at strategy, but is there a way to win for Lu Shi as much as possible?" ”

Zheng Ping paced and shook the fan, and his mind showed the general trend of the world like a picture.

The names of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Tao Qian and others appear on the general trend of the world.

Long.

Zheng Ping stopped, and the feather fan pointed in the direction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou.

"There is a strategy that may give my uncle more chances to win, but I am not absolutely sure."

Liu Bei was suddenly overjoyed: "How can there be a plan in this world that can absolutely succeed, even if there is only a chance of one percent, we should give it a try!" ”

"Please tell me more!"

Zheng Ping nodded: "Fang today, in addition to the envoy and his uncle, there are only four people who really have the mind to please Dong. ”

"Yuan Shu of Nanyang, Sun Jian of Yuzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and Cao Cao, the general of Fenwu who garrisoned Dongwuyang!"

"Yuan Shu wants to replace Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian wants to ask Dong Bo to gain fame, Tao Qian regrets because he failed to meet the alliance last time, and Cao Cao wants to follow Huo Guangkuang's example to support the young master."

"So that Jun Ke went to Tao Qian, borrowed 3,000 Danyang elite soldiers, and handed them over to his uncle to command. There are 5,000 paces to ride, and with my uncle's ability to use soldiers, I can also increase my chances of victory. ”

"Since the First Battle of Xingyang, Cao Cao has been recruiting troops in Dongwuyang and waiting for the opportunity. This person is also close friends with Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, and there are also strong generals under his command to follow, if you know your uncle's expedition to the west, you may be able to help. ”

"But Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been friendly since childhood, and this time we went to help Han Fu, which is equivalent to operating with Cao."

"It's not easy for him to lead his troops to follow his uncle."

"Sun Jian is brave and good at fighting, and Yuan Shu has been plotting against Dong Zhuo for a long time, these two have a strong desire to seek Dong, but Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have a long-standing grudge, and Yuan Shao will not sit idly by and watch Yuan Shu succeed in courting Dong."

"Previously, the spies in Qingzhou had found out that Zhou Qiao, the Huiji, was played by Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance as the assassin of Yuzhou, but the current trend is unknown. This person has 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and if Sun Jian is on an expedition, Zhou Qiao may send troops to Yuzhou on the orders of Yuan Shao. ”

"Most of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's roots are in Yuzhou, so Yuan Shu and Sun Jian will not tolerate Zhou Qiao sending troops to Yuzhou, but if Sun Jian withdraws his troops back to Yuzhou, his uncle will face even more pressure."

"The envoy can send an envoy to Nanyang to see Yuan Shu, inform Yuan Shu of Yuan Shao's intention to let Zhou Qiao send troops to Yuzhou, and agree that Qing, Xu, and Henan can conclude an alliance to discuss Dong Zhuo! If an outsider gets his hands on any of the three states, the other two states will send troops to kill them! ”

"Zhou Qiao dares to step into Yuzhou, then Yuzhou is his burial place!"

The more Liu Bei listened, the more shocked he became: "Has the situation in this world become so complicated?" Yuan Shao himself didn't want to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and didn't allow others to crusade against Dong Zhuo? ”

"Fortunately, Yuan Shao's conspiracy was broken in time this time, otherwise he would have been the pastor of Jizhou, and the matter of Lu Shi begging Dong would have become dangerous."

"Yuan Shao can show the history of the assassination of Yuzhou to attack and disturb Yuzhou, and he can show the history of the Qingzhou assassination to invade Qingzhou."

"At that time, Sun Jian and Lu Shi will have to withdraw their troops from Luoyang, after the fourth and third dukes, how can the amount of weapons be so narrow!"

Liu Bei sighed!

Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage and hundreds of officials in Chang'an, but the heroes of the Kwantung region were calculating with each other, and this great cause of helping the world was more difficult than expected.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Bei's eyes regained firmness: "I'll send letters to Xuzhou and Nanyang, and I must let Lu Shi have a few more chances to win this time when he asks Dong Neng." ”

Liu Bei did not discuss the borrowing of troops from Tao Qian and the alliance with Yuan Shu, nor did he inform Lu Zhi.

And when Liu Bei prepared the grain, grass, soldiers and horses and was about to leave for Yecheng, Guan Yu's messenger also arrived quickly.

"100,000 stone grain and grass!" Liu Bei's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he said happily: "Han Fu is willing to pay the capital!" With these 100,000 stones of grain and grass, there is no need to raise any more grain and grass for Lu Shi's expedition to the west! ”

"Xianmou, it seems that we have to rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, otherwise the grain and grass of 100,000 stones will fall into the hands of Yuan Shao, and there will be no place to raise it."

Liu Bei was in a very happy mood.

The things in Qingzhou have made Liu Bei always walk on thin ice and be cautious, for fear that something unexpected will lead to a failure.

Now that he got the good news, Liu Bei was naturally happy in his heart.

Lu Zhi also nodded again and again.

There are 100,000 stones of grain and grass, which is enough for 2,000 cavalry for a year.

This time, the people who went to Yecheng were all cavalry, and there were no city checkpoints along the way, so they arrived outside Yecheng in a few days.

During Liu Bei's arrival in Yecheng, Feng Ji also returned to see Yuan Shao.

When I went, I swore an oath, and when I came back, I was full of anger.

Seeing Feng Ji like this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but exclaim and asked: "Yuan Tu, could it be that Liu Bei intends to help Han Fu?" ”

If Liu Bei wants to help Han Fu, Yuan Shao is really a little tricky.

Feng Ji shook his head and tried his best to mix the truth with some unimportant falsehoods: "As I expected, Liu Bei didn't want to help Han Fu, Guan Yu camped fifty miles outside Yecheng, just to ask for benefits. ”

Yuan Shao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Since Liu Bei just wants to make a profit, then everything is easy to talk about." Qingzhou is short of money and food, and Liu Bei must want to take the opportunity to make a fortune. ”

"The problems that can be solved with money and food are not big problems."

Yuan Shao asked himself if he was confident enough to satisfy Liu Bei's appetite.

After all, after deposing Han Fu, Yuan Shao is the pastor of Jizhou, is there still a shortage of Liu Bei's money and food for the wealth of the people of Jizhou?

"But-" Feng Ji paused, and his tone became hurried: "Han Fu, that gutless rat, sent Guan Yu 100,000 stones of grain and grass!" Now it is being transported to Guan Yu's camp. ”

"How much? 100,000 stones? Han Fu is so willing? Yuan Shao was also taken aback, as if he had met Han Fu on the first day.

If Han Fu really had such great courage, how could the people of the Jizhou counties think of following Yuan Shao?

Feng Ji nodded: "Yes!" That's 100,000 stones! Then Guan Yu is now waiting for Ming Gong to bid. ”

Waiting for me to bid?

How can I have money to bid!

Yuan Shao was still waiting to receive Han Fu's money and food in Yecheng after he deposed Han Fu.

"If I don't make a bid, then Liu Bei will help Han Fu?" Yuan Shao's tone was a little unhappy: "Liu Bei really dares to be ungrateful? For the sake of 100,000 stone grain and grass, don't you want the grain and grass from other counties in Jizhou? ”

"This-" Feng Ji gritted his teeth: "I also questioned Guan Yu like this, but Guan Yu said that he couldn't be the master, and he would talk about something when Liu Bei came." ”

Feng Ji was a little discouraged.

When he went, he boasted about Haikou, and said that Guan Yu would come to greet Yuan Shao, but now he had to let Yuan Shao wait for Liu Bei's arrival.

Yuan Shao was obviously also a little disappointed, and turned his head to look at Xu You: "Ziyuan, if this Liu Bei really helps Han Fu, what should he do?" ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao was asking about Xu You's strategy again, Feng Ji couldn't help but secretly hate Xu You.

Every time!

Xu Yu, this guy, is giving advice to Ming Gong at this time.

If I don't plan first, how can I have the opportunity for you to contribute?

Feng Ji didn't think about why his plan failed, and only resented that Xu Yu had seized the opportunity at a critical time.

If Yuan Shao asks him about the discipline, he can also ask for a countermeasure.

Xu You glanced at Feng Ji and sneered secretly, but on the surface, he was smiling like the wind: "Originally, since Liu Bei wanted to talk, he was not prepared to really help Han Fu." ”

"Calculate the time, Meng De is almost in Yecheng, meet everyone in Yecheng, and then see the opportunity to act."

Xu You only gave Yuan Shao an ambiguous answer.

In fact, since Ji offered advice, Xu You had already expected this failure.

The reason why he still came with him was that Xu You wanted to meet Liu Bei and the wise people around Liu Bei.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.

If you don't even know what kind of character your opponent is, how can you stay one step ahead?

"If it weren't for me Xu Ziyuan, how could I get Jizhou in the first place?" Xu You stroked his hair and secretly praised himself.

Yuan Shao saw that Xu You didn't come up with an effective solution, and he couldn't help but breed a nameless fire in his heart, and he was quite dissatisfied with Liu Bei, who took advantage of the fire to rob.

"If you can stay in Jizhou, you must play Zang Hong to be the history of Qingzhou!" Yuan Shao said viciously.

Last time, because of Liu Bei's biography, the matter of Zang Hong's assassination of Qingzhou was over.

This plan to seize Jizhou was hindered by Liu Bei, which made Yuan Shao quite angry with Liu Bei.

What's more, this Qingzhou is adjacent to Jizhou.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

Sooner or later, Liu Bei will have to be expelled from Qingzhou!

A few days later.

Under the city of Yecheng.

Yuan Shao set up a flag in the northeast and camped, and the Taishou and ministers of various counties and states settled in Yuan Shao's camp one after another.

After Liu Bei joined Guan Yu, he advanced the camp for forty miles and set up a banner in the southeast of Yecheng.

In the south, Cao Cao also invited Zhang Miao, Yuan Xu and Yuan Yu to lead light horses to Yecheng.

Looking at the camp outside the city, Han Fu on the city tower was terrified: "Damn it! Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi and Yuan Xu also came to join in the fun! Aren't you afraid that Liu Dai will kick your nest? ”
