…… The lord disdained to argue with her.

…… The lord may also wonder in his heart what the use of this is.

But in any case, the matter of fighting a war is to try your best to disgust the other side both inside and outside the war, and you feel good.

Besides, the Son of Heaven is in Xiapi, and Liu Bei's expression is much more formal than Yuan Shao's unjustifiable and unsatisfactory performance table sent to Xiapi.

He can receive the seal of the Son of Heaven!

So Liu Bei pondered, what is the second brother and the third disciple Long Hanging Fish?

"I've heard a letter from the Second General," she asked, "is your lord ready to go?" ”

Liu Bei nodded, "I want to lead the troops to join the second brother, and the hanging fish can go back to Guandu, and find a gap to break Chun Yuqiong, how about it?" ”

She blinked, digesting it.

"Ten are encircled, five are attacked, Yuan Shao's troops are several times that of me, but the lord wants to encircle them?"

"Chun Yu Qiongtun soldiers and officials, and the army is so slow to march," Liu Bei said, "I think about it, isn't it Yuan Shao who ordered him to guard the West Road and protect Ye City?" ”

She thought for a while and probably understood what Liu Bei meant.

Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's main forces will be in Suiyang, but Chun Yuqiong in the west road is not in a hurry to enter the army, waiting for work, and only guarding against Tai Shici; Yuan Tan on the East Road marched south to Xiapi, and I am afraid that he would also surround but not fight, which made Liu Bei tired of coping.

Therefore, Liu Bei's main force carried Yuan Shao, and Xia Pi defended it with a small number of troops, and at the same time hoped that her side could defeat Chun Yuqiong, so that she was behind, Liu Bei was in front, Suiyang was surrounded by water, and it was possible to transport grain and grass from the south, and this battle could be fought very decently.

"I can try." She thought it through and said, "But that horse armor soldier ...... I was going to stay and compete with them. ”

"After you defeat Chun Yuqiong, you can also go around and compete," said the lord, "There is no delay at all, and you can change a batch of banners at that time, and then the battlefield will be even more majestic!" ”

“…… What to do when you change the flag? ”

"You change a batch of banners," the lord said slowly, "Shangshu Xiaocai General, Ji Tinghou, Jizhou Thorn History, in front of the two armies, what it looks like!" If you want to, then write the previous one, that one that lacks a sword, and destroys the Buddha together! Wouldn't it boost the morale of the soldiers when they saw it! ”

…… She felt ashamed to think about that image.

"No," she refused, "I can't remember the names." ”

The lord is not happy.

Chapter 508

Xu Cheng is actually a strong city, although the years of war make it look cold and dilapidated, but the city wall is high and thick, the city gate is strong, even the stones piled under the city have been carefully selected, waiting for it to be picked up on the city wall at any time, and then with a majestic momentum from the sky, all the incoming offenders will be smashed until the flesh and blood are splashed, and the bones are gone.

After Liu Bei entered the city, some of the petty officials wanted to call on them—this was a normal thought, it had not encountered a war to prove the foresight of the craftsmen who built it and perfected it, and now the stones should be put to a more important use.

For example, if you use it to repair a well in a city that has been in disrepair for a long time, or if a scholar needs some stones to rebuild the steps, even the most honest and loving officials will think that it must be a good thing if those stones are taken to the homeless people to strengthen their shacks so that they can survive the winter.

Liu Bei rejected these proposals, and as compensation, he proposed that the scholars hire the homeless people to cut down some trees and build temporary steps out of wood, and by the way, they also rented the axes used for logging to the homeless people for free, so that they could build wooden houses out of wood.

A few wooden houses can't accommodate these many displaced people, but Liu Bei is leaving, and many people in the city are leaving, so many houses will definitely be vacated.

There were also some homeless people who were not so poor, or who were not afraid of freezing to death outside, and set off with the army.

Soldiers always have money, and as long as they win a battle, they will always be rewarded for eating, drinking, and recreation, and that reward is enough for them to survive the winter.

So in the end, the stones that were leaning against the city walls and piled up like a hill were still piled up there.

The vendor, who was pushing the pancakes and a jar full of meat sauce on a flatbed cart, passed by with his family and followed the army with him, and asked his wife in great confusion.

- What are you doing with those things?

Lu Hangyu had already set off, she took Sima Yi with her, and returned to the camp where Tai Shici was stationed with Zhang Liao's cavalry.

She also passed by the gates of the city, and saw the stones piled up under the base of the walls.

She didn't react at all, but Sima Yi glanced at it more, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a smile.

Zhang Liao glanced back at him.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at Liu Yuanjun." Sima Yi said.

Liu Yuanjun hadn't set off yet, but he had already put on his uniform.

He had a set of armor, with a leather base and covered with iron sheets, and although the armor looked dull no matter how he wiped it because of his long-standing battle, he still wore it most comfortably.

Now he has a new armor, which is also strongly persuaded by the left and right attendants, who think that he is now in a high position, unlike before, and when he is in battle, he must show a new, admirable, and awesome lord in front of the soldiers.

This armor is meticulously carved by craftsmen, carved with beautiful patterns, and inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones, shining under the sun, bright light, not inferior to Yuan Shao.

…… This is very good, he also holds several states, he is also a great prince in the Central Plains, he can't lose Yuan Benchu in momentum.

Liu Bei glanced at himself in the bronze mirror held in the servant's hand, but he never saw the majestic and heroic man he imagined.

He saw a troubled middle-aged man.

"Those stones are piled up there just to defend the city." Sima Yi explained.

"I know," Zhang Liao said, "that now that the war has not disappeared, the defenders must not relax for a day. ”

"The lord is afraid." Lu Hangyu suddenly spoke.

Zhang Liao's figure on the horse suddenly froze for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

What he was worried about was that Yuan Shao's front was too long, and if he suddenly attacked Xucheng, he would need to defend it.

What Liu Bei was worried about was that if Yuan Tan's lure soldiers really cut off the connection between Qingxu and Yanyu, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold Suiyang and would have to retreat to Xucheng.

"The lord is not most afraid of these," she said, "and he has 50,000 troops in his hands, although they cannot be times as many as Yuan Shao, but they also have the strength to fight." ”

"Then what is Liu Yuanjun worried about?"

"I'm worried that I won't be able to lead the troops," she said, turning her head, "it's not a big deal." ”

There are more and more soldiers and horses outside the city, and the front army has already gone several miles before the Chinese army can set off.

It was at this time that Liu Bei was about to get on his horse and leave the city.

He hid his thoughts so well that no one could see what was going on in the commander's mind.

…… How did Han Shin use his troops?

…… How did Yuan Benchu use soldiers?

There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the dense figure has already seen Liu Bei worried, and now with the addition of people and craftsmen, as well as the homeless people who follow behind the soldiers and horses, the team has become a long river.

And he had never commanded such a large army, how could his orders be issued, and how long would it take for the orders issued from the Chinese army to reach the front army?

Suiyang is surrounded by many rivers, how will this army of soldiers and horses cross the river at that time? Will the lineup be messed up? Will the soldiers run away? Can the supply of grain and grass keep up? Are there any good places to camp outside the city?

Liu Bei's mind was filled with these trivial and not heroic worries, and he even had a trace of sympathy for Yuan Benchu in his heart. But he didn't know that Yuan Benchu was very trustworthy to his advisers, he handed over these trivial things to them, and then only paid the price that the strategists were full of factions and poured into each other, but he was never able to start to rectify it.

In the eyes of others, the commander's expression was calm and majestic, and there was a kind of majesty that could not be filled with joy and anger, and no one could guess what was going on in his heart from his face.

They also didn't feel the pressure that this battle exerted on Liu Bei.

They only saw Liu Bei riding on a horse, his armor exuding a halo in the sun, like a god descending from heaven.

"The Great Han has Liu Yuanjun," they whispered, "There is hope!" ”

"There's always pressure to be a commander," she explained to Zhang Liao and Sima Yi, "and there's no shame in that." ”

Sima Yi pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything.

"If your net worth and your life, and the lives and deaths of thousands of people, are all up to you," Lu Hangyu said, "you will also be worried." ”

"I feel that I am only a shallow learner in Xia, and I may not have the ability to lead troops to fight in the future," Sima Yi said in a flat voice, "but if you act freely, you can still do it." ”

…… Is this person's psychological quality so good? She tilted her head to look at him, deciding that she had a chance to try.

But he turned his face and asked her another question:

"Is it the same with the general?"

Does she worry about every time she fights?

The camp is busy, busy with several things.

The general wrote back a letter, saying that he wanted to build a broken camp, to recruit calm, strong, and powerful veterans into the camp, to equip this battalion with brand-new weapons, and when the general returned, he would personally take this battalion for training!

What a treat this is! This is an unthinkable treatment!

Being familiar with the general means that you are also familiar with the soldiers in the Chinese military camp, so as long as there is a vacancy in the guards around the general, will you have a chance to get an internal push!

Not to mention the treatment of breaking camps, other battalions eat, this battalion is going to eat meat! Although there is not so much fresh meat supply, where would the soldiers from poor families dislike the soup made of dried meat! Besides, they even eat better than others, are they afraid that they will go to the battlefield in the future without merit and reward?!

So since the news came out, the barracks immediately exploded, countless people were busy working during the day and at night, drilling a tent like a mouse, and if the way of the team leader could not go through, they would go to Gong Cao, and if Gong Cao's could not get through, they would be cheeky to ask for the Ministry of Sima.

They thought so simply that Tai Shi Ci had to come out and remind them.

"This battalion is no different from the first arrival, when the enemy's horse armor arrives, others may be able to retreat, but the broken camp cannot retreat a single step!"

This did not frighten the soldiers, who shouted louder.

"Isn't it cavalry? Who hasn't seen it! ”

"As soon as the spear is on, what kind of horse leg do you use!"

"We've all seen it, General! You can rest assured! ”

"General Taishi, choose me! Pick me! I'm not afraid of death! ”

Such a noisy sound was noisy in the barracks every day, and the atmosphere became even hotter, so that another thing that did not require the soldiers to be busy was also busy.

It's almost the New Year.

It's only late November, and all kinds of New Year's food have been sent over with winter clothes.

The soldiers lined up to pick it up, happily unpacked the package, and then cried while watching, eating and sleeping.

After crying, they immediately began to busily send things home, there are no villages and towns here in Guandu, but there must be civilians following the place where the army is stationed, so they can still buy some local miscellaneous things.

Are there any specialties here? Didn't you? Is there a cloth that is dyed beautifully? Is there a copper hairpin with exquisite craftsmanship? Is there a novel floral pattern? Is there a sugar man? Is there any dried fruit? Got garlic? Garlic is fine!

It doesn't matter if you spend some money, the rewards they earn are for them to be spent! In addition to this year, they must not be able to go home, so if these local production capacity is brought home that year's goods, it is not bad!

Besides, they're not afraid to break the bank! As long as you can be selected into the battalion newly built by General Xiao Lu, you will have everything! Send everything back now, and carry a heavy package home in the future!

As Lu Hangyu rode on his horse, looking condescendingly at the barracks that greeted her, Sima Yi got the answer to that question from her face.
