"Under Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide."

After the war, Zhang Fei bowed in front of Huo Jun. Huo Jun looked at the macho man in front of him who liked Lori with a playful face, as he expected, through his suggestions, everyone in Liu Bei's group agreed with him.

This feeling is as if in the Water Margin, the hero paid the vote and was recognized by the Liangshan hero, and the seats were arranged.

"Xiahou Zhongzhong's strategy, if it weren't for Li Dian's rescue, he would have died here." Zhang Fei said regretfully.

"Don't dare!" Huo Jun also had self-knowledge, and he didn't dare to be greedy for merit, and said: "This is all thanks to the hard work of General Zuo and the generals, how dare Jun take credit." ”

Zhang Fei is also familiar with himself, regardless of the dust and blood on his body, he wiped his hand on his robe, then held Huo Jun's hands, and said: "Zhong Miao is so modest, today's big victory depends on Zhong Miao's strategy." ”

Feeling the heat in his hand, Huo Jun subconsciously wanted to break free, but he had to give up when he couldn't take it. Whether it was in his previous life or in his current life, Huo Jun had never held hands with men so affectionately, and he was quite uncomfortable. He could avoid Liu Bei's resistance and sleep, but he inevitably had physical contact with them.

Liu Bei stood on the mound in the corner of the battlefield, holding a long sword in his hand, and muttered: "This prisoner of war has more than 1,000 enemies, beheaded 800 levels, and received a lot of baggage, but it's a pity...... I only hate that my army is small. ”

Sun Qian, who was beside him, congratulated: "Congratulations to the lord, in the first battle, he beheaded 800 people and captured 1,000 people." ”

Liu Bei sighed and said, "It's just a small victory, and the main force of the Cao army is still there." If Liu Jingzhou does not increase his troops, I am afraid that this battle will stop here. ”

As the war progressed, Liu Bei felt more and more the profound meaning of Huo Jun's original statement that "Liu Biao's Northern Expedition can change the overall situation, but it is difficult to change the overall situation in his own Northern Expedition", and the fundamental difference lies in the amount of resources that can be invested in the Northern Expedition between the two.

Liu Biao had 100,000 soldiers in his hands, but he was only willing to send 5,000 troops to the Northern Expedition. All the hard work he himself injected into the Northern Expedition, but there were only a few thousand soldiers under him, and he was subject to Liu Biao in terms of money and food. From this point of view, it is difficult to succeed in the strategic idea of wanting to take root in Nanyang and then plot the Central Plains.

"Lord!"

While Liu Bei and Huo Jun were talking, Zhao Yun led a person dressed like Cao Jun to appear in front of Liu Bei.

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "This is Yun's fellow villager, who knows each other from a young age, named Xiahoulan, and the word Zifang. If you want to submit to our army today, please make it known to the Lord. ”

Liu Bei was very trusting of the people brought by Zhao Yun, and asked in a gentle tone: "I don't know what position Zifang holds in the army?" ”

"I have held military law in the army for several years, although I dare not make clear judgments, I also persevere. Today's misfortune should have died here, Xie Minggong did not kill the grace, Lan was willing to serve Minggong and lead the horse to fall. Xiahou Langton said.

Liu Bei pondered for a while and said, "In this case, there is a vacancy in the army, and you can take this position." ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Xia Houlan bowed again.

Hearing the word lord, Liu Bei glanced at Huo Jun, to be honest, he didn't know Huo Jun's plans a little. If you don't see each other much, you will give advice to yourself, which seems to have the intention of contributing, but if he leaves, he often doesn't say everything. He originally wanted to invite him to go north with the army, show his strength, and recruit him into his command, but he proposed a strategy to break the enemy.

But it seems that the more you give, the harder it is to leave......

Huo Jun seemed to sense Liu Bei's gaze and smiled to show friendship.

During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the relationship between the monarch and the core courtiers was close to the status of partners, and the monarchs and ministers sat down and talked about the common interests of the world, but the monarch took the big head, and the courtiers took the small head. Therefore, before joining a force, you need to show your value, just like joining the company to get a salary in the future.

Zhuge Liang entered Liu Bei's account and provided Longzhong pair, and he, Huo Jun, wanted to get a position comparable to Zhuge Liang, and he would inevitably need to show the corresponding value. And the strategy of entering Jiangdong was tailor-made by Huo Jun for Liu Bei, if he did not get Liu Bei's approval to elaborate, it would be useless.

Just as Liu Bei was cleaning up the battlefield, the defeated Cao Jun also stopped.

The one-eyed Xiahoudun was gray-headed and very embarrassed, he was going deep into the dangerous road, and the back road was cut off, if it wasn't for Li Dian's hard work, he and his subordinates were rescued, it is estimated that he would die at the hands of Liu Bei.

"Hey!"

Xiahoudun sat on the horse, looked at the demoralized subordinates behind him, and sighed. Now he is not distressed by the defeat, but has to explain to his lord Cao Cao and feels big.

Thinking that when he went on the expedition, Cao Cao told him to listen to Li Dian and Yu Ban's advice more, and not to use troops recklessly, but he was really right by him. He is the person he is closest to, and he sometimes feels a lot of pressure because he trusts him.

In order to live up to Cao Cao's trust, Xiahoudun gritted his teeth, instructed his subordinates, and said: "When we retreat, the 'military merit' is lost, you wait to find it." ”

Sergeant Cao glanced at each other, understood what Xiahoudun meant, and led his men to turn away.

Towards night, the departing Sergeant Cao returned to the camp and said, "General, we will find more than 50 heads. ”

Xiahoudun, who was sitting on the seat, laughed and said, "Behead more than 500 levels, and write a letter to the prime minister." ”

The pen clerk picked up the pen and wrote down the record of beheading 500 on the document that had been prepared, and noted that Xiahoudun accidentally fell into Liu Bei's trap in order to save the vanguard, and was defeated by Liu Bei and withdrew. (Note (1))

Xiahoudun looked at the finished battle report, corrected and said: "The headquarters beheaded two hundred, General Li beheaded two hundred, and General Yu beheaded one hundred, how could they all be beheaded by the headquarters." ”

"No!"

can become the first cronie under Cao Cao's account, Xiahoudun still knows what it means to be evenly stained with rain and dew, benefiting others and benefiting himself. After all, his official ability has risen so fast, and he can become the first high-ranking official under Cao Cao's account, in addition to being loyal to Cao Cao and being good at governance, the most important thing is that he can be a man.

-----------------

A few more days passed, the night sky was full of stars, and the lights of Liu Jun's camp were bright.

Liu Bei wandered in the village in a chaotic mood, and today he received two bad news in a row. The first bad news, Yuan Shao of Weizhen Hebei died of illness, and was succeeded by his third son Yuan Shang, the eldest son Yuan Tan called himself the general of the Che Cavalry, and the Yuan clan was about to split.

The second bad news, after Yuan Shao died of illness, Liu Biao lost the expectation of entering the Central Plains, and the men and horses who originally supported the army returned on the spot, and ordered himself to lead his troops back to the division and cancel the plan to attack Xuchang.

Regarding the situation in the Central Plains, Liu Bei was completely desperate. Without Yuan Shao's restraint, the internal struggle of the second Yuan, Hebei fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and it was really only a matter of time. And he lost Yuan Shao's clamp, and without Liu Biao's help, how could he get up and gain a foothold in Nanyang.

Cao Cao, who annexed Hebei, then unified the Central Plains, and led the army south, how could he compete with him!

"Could it be that God helped Cao Hu!"

Liu Bei watched the moth flutter its wings and fly into the orange fireworks, and its figure was instantly engulfed by the flames and turned into ashes, and then sighed.

"Hey!"

Then, Liu Bei thought that he was already forty-one, but he was sent to the fence, displaced, and had no heirs. I wanted to use my strength to get up, but I was strangled miserably.

"Liu Jingzhou's Northern Expedition can change the overall situation, making Jun's Northern Expedition unwise."

"It's hard to change the overall situation with soldiers!"

Huo Jun's words at the banquet that day resurfaced in Liu Bei's mind again. Could it be that Huo Jun had expected this and guessed that Yuan Shao had died of illness, and Liu Biao refused to send troops.

But how can there be such a judgmental person in the world?

Huo Jun's talent is still underestimated. Wang Cang's statement that he has Wu Qi's talent may not be an exaggeration.

"Make a decision, temporarily live in Xinye, conquer Cao Cao, join the Yuan clan in the north, enter the Central Plains, or sit and watch the changes in the world."

Huo Jun's three strategies came to his mind that night, his strategy was the next policy, so what would the best strategy in his mouth be based on Jiangdong!

While wandering, Liu Bei walked to the door of Huo Jun's big tent.

Looking at the tent door in front of him, Liu Bei had a feeling welling up in his heart, and when he walked in, he might usher in a different life!

"Han Ji Huo Da Sima Family": "The emperor treats him with hospitality,...... Invite Jun to join the army and go north, the battle of Bowang, defeat Xiahoudun, Jun Ben also planned. ”

(1) "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of the National Yuan": "The thief document, the old one is ten, and the first level of the yuan, such as the actual number. Taizu asked the reason, and Yuan said: The husband conquest of foreign criminals, and the number of those who have won more wants to use great martial arts, and show the people to listen. ”

(The big one is coming!) ）
