Chapter 218

Although he is a little envious and jealous of Lu Lian, Fu Shiren is not a brainless person.

If the military merits are discussed, the largest share is difficult to steal, who is the main general, who is the vanguard, who overcomes thorns and thorns, the city that others can't capture, and the village that can't be uprooted, he captures it, this is a credit for all to see.

But hard labor is less obvious.

For example, transporting grain, such as defending the city, such as gathering county soldiers in the newly defeated counties, these tasks are not necessarily dangerous, but they must be meritorious, and for Fu Shiren, the tasks he can barely afford are just these.

But that credit is not enough.

"In today's troubled times, those who have soldiers and food are not kings, but also marquis, Brother Shiren look at those Xuzhou clans, who doesn't think about their own family?"

There was something in Liu Yan's words, but Fu Shiren didn't understand it for a while, so he had to speak more clearly.

"Xiapi Chen changed his name and took the word for Lu Lian, so he should treat it as his own family."

"Not bad."

"Those big clans also sent their young sons to Lu Lian's command......"

Such a group of young men and young women are mixed all day long, if they are put in the mouths of idlers on the streets, I don't know how many unbearable tricks they can chew, but Fu Shiren immediately realized that what Liu Yan wanted to say was in another direction.

"She's just a Qiantou," Fu Shiren scolded, "The world is going down!" ”

Liu Yan's expression became narrow for a moment, "It's not just them, isn't Chen Ji a scholar?" He also wants Baba to send his son over! ”

The surprise and anger on Fu Shiren's face were reflected in Liu Yan's eyes, which satisfied his little meanness even more. This matter is not a secret at all to the people close to Liu Bei.

"That Chen Changwen usually pretends to be upright and upright, and he moves by etiquette, and he turns out to be flattering!"

"Everyone in the world is like this, if time goes by, won't Lu Ciyu just cover the sky with his hands? Although the lord believes that she is true, I think she is also a loyal minister, but there is such a group of flattering villains around her, it is difficult to keep her heart unchanged! ”

After this scene was finished, Fu Shiren also had a worried look on his face, Liu Yan sighed, and finally turned to the topic, "If there is a loyal person like Brother Shiren, he can worry about the Lord and ......."

"Am I a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Fu Shiren's brain was hot, and he shouted loudly, "If the lord entrusts me with a heavy responsibility, I will repay him with death!" ”

Since Fu Shiren followed Liu Bei all the way from Youzhou to this point, he naturally had loyalty.

It's just that that bit of loyalty is mixed with a lot of calculations, and his own Wen Taowu is not too good, and Liu Bei treats him well, but there is no further responsibility. Even Fu Shiren himself, after scolding Lu Lian endlessly, still positioned himself as a talent who charged into battle.

But Liu Yan has his own selfish intentions, although he doesn't want to follow him to the battlefield no matter what, he still has to find ways to push Fu Shiren.

As for whether Fu Shiren can afford this "heavy responsibility" and what consequences it will bring to Liu Bei, Liu Yan will not consider these.

Yuan Shu rebelled against the thief, usurped the Han Dynasty and called the emperor, the people of the world asked for it, and the people of the world punished him, such a "dry bone in the grave", can it resist the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou?

Isn't this battle obviously easy? Whoever goes, can't they all get a piece of the pie?

"Brother Shiren has this heart, I should help you," Liu Yan smiled secretly, "As long as you succeed, don't forget me." ”

In the state minister's mansion in Xiapi, Liu Bei sat on the main seat.

Guan Erye didn't come back, he had to stay in Guangling, beware of Yuan Shu on the one hand, Sun Ce on the other, and train soldiers and horses on the other hand, and build a water division, so it was Chen Deng who took the time to come back.

The eldest brother of the Chen family, who vomited worms, is said to have given up his hobby of eating sashimi, so he sat there and watched very energetically;

The third master has been guarding Xiapi for most of the year, and it is said that he is practicing Danyang soldiers, and it is estimated that he is practicing well now, and he looks very energetic;

Zhao Yun returned to the warm family, and looked at Zilong, who was no longer the thin Zilong who was about to lose his appearance before, and became the mighty and majestic Qiao gang leader, he was also very energetic;

Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers guard Xiaopei, Zang Ba guards the East China Sea, and they are all over at this moment, Lu Hangyu looks left and right, and the generals are basically here except for the second master;

In addition to Chen Dengye and the two scribes, Mr. Jian sat upright, Chen Qunbing sat cleanly, Mr. Sun Qian sat with kind eyes, and the rich man Mi Zhu sat silently;

Except for the sixteen-year-old Zhuge Liang, who has not yet participated in the combat meeting, the others are still ......

She looked in the crowd and saw a strange and familiar face in the corner.

"Why is Fox Deer Aunt here?" She whispered to the third master beside her.

"He claims to be Yu Fuluo's nephew, and he wants to stay here as a proton, and he insists on recognizing his brother as his father...... "The third master whispered, "My brother can't resist him, so he stays here and serves with him." ”

“…… Is it reliable? ”

"This Hu'er is sincere, but anyway, he only wants his brother to ask for a big single Yu name for Yu Fuluo, and it doesn't matter," the third master whispered again, "In order to show his sincerity, he also begged his brother to change his name, you can't call him Hulugu in the future." ”

"What's that called?"

"He also followed his brother's surname Liu," the third master said, "a single name is a leopard character." ”

"Liu Bao, I remember." After listening to this, she secretly glanced back again, "As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was a good son of the Han family." ”

Everyone kissed each other for a long time before entering the door, but after all, they were discussing serious matters, especially Lu Hangyu and Chen Deng, who ran back to Xiapi for hundreds of miles, so after the greetings, this combat meeting began immediately.

Yuan Shu called the emperor and became the common enemy of the world, there is nothing to talk about, it is necessary to fight early and late, but now the question is, how to fight? How many troops to send to fight? Where to fight?

Unlike the other princes, Liu Bei's territory was a rather narrow stretch stretching from the Yellow River in the north to the Yangtze River in the south, bounded by Surabaya and several large lakes and ditches, separating Xuzhou from Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou.

"Since Liu Jingsheng sent troops from Jingzhou, the second general sent troops from Guangling, wouldn't it be cheap to attack from the east and west?"

As an old man beside the lord, Sun Qian first threw out a decent opinion.

"Yes, there is no natural danger in Xuzhou, and Xiapi still needs to stay in the army, and Yuan Shu is to guard against it."

Mr. Mi Zhu's opinion was also very cautious and calm, but after the three generals listened to it, they immediately raised a sharp question.

"If we send troops slowly, who will Huainan and Huaibei be?"

Theoretically, these lands are an inseparable part of the Han Dynasty, but ...... No one would take it seriously.

As soon as the question of the three generals came out, there was immediately a whisper, and then Chen Qun stood up and expressed a different opinion:

"If the lord attacks Yuan Shu with all his might, I don't know who will be the fisherman!"

"Now that the war with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao has stopped, and I am now under the edict to beg the thief, can they still come and stab us in the back!"

"How do you know it won't?"

From a whisper to a twitter.

Liu Bei's gaze turned to the brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, who had been silent.

"Meng Zhuo, what do you say?"

There was a brief pause in the seats.

"Wancheng is an elbow trouble for Mengde," Zhang Miao said clearly, "If Xuzhou goes south, he will attack Wancheng first." ”

Liu Bei's eyebrows showed a hint of relaxation, and then Chen Qun spoke again.

"Cao Cao attacked Wancheng at this time, I don't know where to attack Wancheng?"

"Zhang Xiutun soldiers Wancheng, how can he succeed easily?"

…… Started chattering again.

She sat there and listened to them talk like this, and she missed Zhuge Liang very much.

Because each of these people has their own opinion! Each of these perceptions seems to make sense! Will Cao Cao fight Xuzhou? Is it to fight now or in the future? If Xuzhou did his best to go south, would he kill Yuan Shu before Cao Cao finished fighting Wancheng? Will this war be a blitzkrieg or a tug-of-war? In this year's great drought, how much grain and grass will we use? Where do you dispatch from? How many soldiers were conscripted along the way? How many people? The terrain of Xuzhou is as narrow as Chile, so in which cities should the grain storage points be arranged? How many troops do you need to protect?

The lord is listening intently and distinguishing with all his attention, and she really wants to cheat, after all, the lord's current strategists are not as famous as Zhuge Liang, who is still studying with his uncle in Donglai.

[Wake up,] Black Blade couldn't help but speak, [You also have 20 intelligence, use it occasionally.] 】

【…… How to use it? 】

[Make a noise! 】

…… How does this make a sound?

Yuan Shu is not sympathetic to the good and the lowly, and there are still people who eat children in good years, not to mention the drought this year? There is no need for the princes to attack, I am afraid that it will take him a few years and he will naturally die.

But the orthodox righteousness is here, you say that you are a clan, you have to do something that the clan should do, especially if you are not a gold-plated clan like Liu Biao, Liu Yu and Liu Yan, and the people of the world are watching your every move, do you dare not send troops?

However, the small number of troops invested can easily become a refueling tactic, and Yuan Shu will not be able to be killed for a while;

The investment of troops is large, not to mention that Xuzhou has just taken a year off, are the soldiers and the people willing to go to the Huainan meat grinder battlefield one after another for the edict of the Son of Heaven, let's talk about the surrounding neighbors, whose face looks kinder?

Should she believe in Boss Cao's character, or Yuan Benchu's character, or ......

At this moment, the lord turned his gaze to her again.

"Ciyu, what do you say?"

"If you send me," she thought for a while, "don't need a lot of soldiers and horses, break Shouchun City first, and Yuan Shu's shelves will naturally disperse." ”

The lord shook his head, "You guarded Qingzhou, and you experienced another fierce battle last year, and now you don't need to travel thousands of miles." ”

"If you don't need to quit the jade, the lord should use heavy troops to cut it down." Chen Deng said suddenly.

- Go south with all your might, and then attack Jiangdong.

Liu Bei was taken aback and looked up at Chen Deng.

As early as the battle for Guangling, Chen Deng had a private meeting with the lord and told him that he must guard against Jiangdong Sun Ce, and it was best to take advantage of his fledgling wings, and all Jiangdong would be.

But at this time, attacking Yuan Shu is the top priority, does he really want to attack Jiangdong together?

While the scribes and generals of Xiapi were debating this huge issue, the young general who looked like a good woman was also discussing this matter with his advisers in the San'in Castle of Huiji County.

Wang Yilang sent him an edict from the imperial court, asking him to send troops to attack Yuan Shu.

"Until now, the general must be separated from Yuan Shu." Zhang Zhao said.

"Indeed, I have sent a letter to him and cut it off from him."

"This is not enough, the general must be in front of the people of the world and cut off Yuan Shu." Zhang Zhao persuaded again, "Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, which one is not a tiger and wolf?" After defeating Yuan, would he be willing to let Jiangdong go? ”

"Having said that......" Sun Ce hesitated for a moment, then took out a letter from his bosom, "Wang Xiao still has a handwritten letter with me." ”

This letter was not sent from Luoyang, but was attached by a young scribe as he passed through Yanzhou.

The young scribe, surnamed Guo Mingjia, was a member of Cao Cao's army, and he wrote to express his affection for General Xiaosun.

He first flattered General Sun Wentai's bravery and loyalty, especially praised Sun Jian's extremely outstanding performance when the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and he deserved to be a rare famous general in the world.

Although these words are nonsense, Sun Ce naturally will not be unhappy when he sees it.

After praising Sun Jian, Guo Jia's tone was still very gentle and sincere, he said that he had no selfish intentions, but just revered General Sun Wentai, so he wanted to kindly remind his son -

"My lord has lived in the north for generations, thousands of miles away from Wuhui, he has loved sheep since he was a child, and he has never been used to rice, rice, and fish soup, so what is the use of Jiangdong?" The letter wrote, "But I heard that Liu Bei has always intended to annex Jiangdong, and now he wants to go south, and his heart must be guarded against!" Checkmate! ”
