The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"I have agreed to Ma Chao's request to send troops to attack Cao Cao and help Ma Chao avenge his father's death, but now that the Huns are coming, I can't mobilize many troops." Liu Bei has long been angry with Chen Ziming, and it is not the last time to destroy Cao Cao. At a good time, when the Xiongnu came to restrain him, Cao Cao's strength came, and it doesn't mean that he can be destroyed if he is destroyed.

"Your Majesty." Jia Xu came out and said, "Although Ma Chao won for a while, Cao Cao reacted and mobilized a large army. Ma Chao would be defeated. It was Cao Cao who could take advantage of the situation and lead his troops into Liangzhou."

"At this time, Liangzhou's soldiers and horses are all outside Chang'an, and Liangzhou is empty. Your Majesty can send people to attack Fengling County, and then enter Liangzhou Anding County from Fengling County, and then occupy Fufeng County, so that Cao Cao can be blocked in Liangzhou. Otherwise, Your Majesty can get all the land of Liangzhou."

What Jia Xu said was exactly what Chen Ziming told Liu Bei about the strategy of Liangzhou. As long as Fengling County was captured, the empty Liangzhou would be completely defenseless in front of Liu Bei's army.However, the difference with Chen Ziming's plan is that Chen Ziming's plan is that Cao Cao defeats Ma Chao first, and after the soldiers and horses enter Liangzhou, Liu Bei will attack again. It is not that Ma Chao sent troops to take Liangzhou before he was defeated.

"I am allied with Ma Chao, and I can take advantage of the danger and seize his land. Don't talk about it again." Sure enough, as Chen Ziming expected, before Ma Chao was defeated, the possibility of Liu Bei sending troops to attack Liangzhou was too small.

"Your Majesty, according to secret reports from the secret guards, most of Cao Ren's troops in Yanzhou have been mobilized. The intention is to contain His Majesty's troops. Xiahouyuan's troops in Yuzhou also intend to approach Peijun. Outside of Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou, Taishan County, and Jizhou's soldiers and horses all need to guard against Cao Cao and Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, and they must not move lightly. The armies in the north are restrained by the Xiongnu, and there are not many troops to mobilize now." Chen Gong pointed out that Liu Bei is currently facing To be honest, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are not fuel-efficient lamps. Unless Liu Bei transfers the troops of Langya Zhang Ji and Linzi Chen Dao, it is impossible to pose a threat to Cao Cao.

The Langya Zhangji Department is the reserve team of various troops in Xuzhou. If there is a change, it needs to support the various groups at any time. The [-] soldiers and horses that Chen arrived in Linzi can be said to be Liu Bei's Yulin Army.

Xu Huang's army confronts Jiangdong's army, Zhang Jai's army confronts Xiahouyuan's army, Pan Zhang's army is stationed in Taishan County, where the Qingzhou gate is located, and there is absolutely no room for loss. The soldiers and horses sitting in Hedong directly faced Cao Cao's soldiers and horses. Although Cao Cao personally conquered Ma Chao, there were many soldiers and horses left behind.

The remaining Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao wanted to protect Bingzhou and Youzhou against the 20 soldiers of the Xiongnu, and Li Yan's [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in Jizhou, which was the northernmost frontier of Liu Bei's territory. There are also many foreign races, and they must not be moved lightly.

Calculated in this way, Liu Bei can only use 20 navy, but Cao Cao's forces penetrated into the interior, which is not within the scope of the navy's operations, and the navy is exploring new areas, and is also preparing for the southern conquest of Sun Ce. mobilized.

Now, as Liu Bei said, after Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao finished cleaning up the Xiongnu, they can mobilize troops and horses to deal with Cao Cao. Zhang Ji's department can be mobilized at any time, but Chen Ziming firmly opposes the mobilization of Zhang Ji's department. The location of the economy is too important.

Langya County where Zhang Ji is located is the necessary place for Xuzhou to enter Qingzhou. Outside of Xuzhou, Sun Ce and Cao Cao each hoarded [-] soldiers and horses. To be able to tell clearly about victory or defeat, if Xu Huang and Zhang Jaw's army were to be wiped out, Zhang Ji's army would be the last barrier.

Langya County where Zhang Ji is located, Taishan County where Pan Zhang is, and Qinghe County where Zangba is located are the defense lines Chen Ziming built for Qingzhou. .

Chapter 3 and Six: Zhang Fei is Handsome

"I don't know what's going on with the war in the north, but is there a new battle report?" Liu Bei also knew that the current situation did not allow him to mess around, and according to Chen Ziming's arrangement, everything was stable.

If Liu Bei insists on going his own way and wants to lead an army to attack Cao Cao, it is not impossible. It is not a problem to draw at least 30 soldiers and horses.

But the problem is that if the 30 soldiers and horses are really taken away, once an emergency occurs, Liu Bei will be very passive.For example, the Xiongnu army miraculously killed Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other soldiers, plundered Bingzhou, and even attacked Hedong or Jizhou, all of which could make Liu Bei's current good situation into chaos.

As for Xu Huang, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Lan, any one of the three soldiers who lose will directly threaten Xuzhou and even Qingzhou, so neither Liu Bei nor Chen Ziming is willing to take risks.

They have the absolute upper hand now, there is no need to do those risky things, everything is steady and steady, and they can dominate the world at the lowest cost, this is the best choice.

Chen Ziming listened to Liu Bei's question and shook his head slightly, expressing that he had not received the latest battle report: "But there should be a new battle report soon, the Huns only have 20 troops, and General Huang Zhong and General Zhao Yun are rare A fierce general, with 20 elites in his hands, is not afraid of the Xiongnu at all."

"Besides, Tian Yuanhao and Shenzhengnan are there to keep the north safe." When Tian Feng went to Bingzhou, Shenpei also asked to go with him. There were two of them, and there was really nothing for Chen Ziming to worry about mere Xiongnu.

"Yuan Hao, the talents of Zhengnan, I am very relieved. As for the battle of Liangzhou, who can be the commander?" Although Liangzhou is now Ma Chao's, if Ma Chao can't hold it, it will be taken away by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei will send troops to snatch it. Then you can't blame Liu Bei for grabbing the allies' territory.

Liangzhou is a good place. It is a lie that Liu Bei is not envious. Now that there is such a good opportunity, Liu Bei will never let it go, so Liu Bei began to arrange the battle of Liangzhou.

"After defeating the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, we can dispatch Zhao Yun soldiers and Zhang Liao soldiers to Hedong, look for opportunities to capture Feng Ling County, and then enter Liangzhou Anding County from Feng Ling County."

"As for the coach, I think the third brother is a good candidate." Chen Ziming had already thought about the transfer of soldiers and horses there and the candidate for the coach, and just waited for the northern war to accept it.

"Yide? I'm worried about letting Yide go. I think it's better to let Yunchang lead the army." Liu Bei frowned when he heard that Chen Ziming wanted Zhang Fei to lead the army. He was worried about Zhang Fei's character and dared not let Zhang Fei Command so many soldiers and horses.

"Hehe." Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Chen Ziming couldn't guess what Liu Bei was thinking, and immediately explained: "Don't worry, big brother, although third brother is sometimes reckless, but third brother is a wise and foolish person, and he can be of great use in front of big right and wrong. "

In fact, Chen Ziming also thought about letting Guan Yu lead the army, but when he thought of Guan Yu's character as the number one in the world, he finally gave up and went to Liangzhou. He must deal with Ma Chao. With the personalities of Guan Yu and Ma Chao, Chen Ziming might be ruined. plan.It's better to be straight-hearted like Zhang Fei, and to deal with people like Ma Chao, Zhang Fei's character is the most suitable.

"Forget it, let Yide go, but Yide's personality might not get along with Yuanhao." Of course Liu Bei knew Zhang Fei's character, but Tian Feng was really stubborn and unrefined, and the two were not suitable to work together.

"Let Feng Xiao go, and Tian Yuanhao and Shen Zhengnan can help." In Liu Bei's group, only Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Chen Ziming could hold Zhang Fei down.

And those who can make Zhang Fei agree and are willing to obey are Guo Jia, Chen Gong, and Xu Shu. Let Guo Jia, a pervert, rest assured.

Chen Ziming wanted to go in person, but now that he is the prime minister, he has a lot to do. Anyway, there are so many top counselors available in Liu Bei Group, why should he suffer this by himself? Why not do some practical things in Linzi to accompany his wife and children What.

After discussing with Liu Bei for a while, Chen Ziming and Liu Bei immediately decided to take Zhang Fei as the general and Guo Jia as the military adviser, and lead Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to rob Liangzhou with Cao Cao.

At this time, outside Jiangxia city, there were corpses everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.And Sun Ce's army is still rushing towards Jiangxia City.On the high platform behind the Jiangdong army, Sun Ce, looking tired, was watching the Jiangdong army attack another city.

Now Sun Ce no longer has the kind of pride he used to despise the world. The only thing he has is that he hates Jiangxia's defenders so much that he stormed Jiangxia for more than two months. But in the end, the army suffered heavy losses. In his war-weary heart, if the fight continues, it will only increase casualties in vain.

"My lord, the food and grass in the rear cannot be delivered in time. In time, there may be a danger of running out of food. Moreover, General Liu Bei Xu Huang led [-] soldiers and horses to hoard outside Yangzhou. He has fought against General Ding Feng many times. General Feng has more defeats than victories, so I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long." Although Zhou Yu has great talent, his strategies are useless in the face of such a real offensive and defensive battle.

This kind of battle depends only on the strength of both sides. Although the Jiangdong army is slightly stronger than the Jiangxia defenders, the Jiangxia defenders occupy the city and occupy a favorable location. Zhou Yu is very opposed to such a mindless siege.

"Hey, attack for another three days. If you can't capture the city after three days, then withdraw your troops." Sun Ce was helpless. He even went to attack the city himself, but unfortunately he was still repelled by the desperate Jiangxia defenders.

Now that food and grass are in short supply and the rear is unstable, he can't spend any more time here. He has to find a way to win Jingzhou after returning. However, what makes Sun Ce feel better is that Cao Cao's troops did not capture Xinye, and he still has a chance to capture Jingzhou. .

Three days later, the Jiangdong army retreated, but Jiangxia's defenders did not send troops to pursue them as Sun Ce hoped, so they had no choice but to give up their last hope and withdraw the soldiers and horses ambushing outside Jiangxia City.

Jiangxia's victory was immediately reported to Xiangyang, making Liu Biao, who had been frowning all the time, happy, and immediately ordered someone to send a large amount of money and drinks to Jiangxia to reward the soldiers of the three armies.He also ordered Huang Zu to lead some troops to Xinye to reinforce Cai Mao and repel Cao Cao's troops. In this way, Jingzhou will have no worries for a long time.

After dealing with these matters, Liu Biao held a large banquet and invited famous people from Jingzhou to celebrate Jiangxia's victory, and at the same time rewarded the meritorious soldiers.

Kuai Liang and Yi Ji, who were ordered by Liu Biao to go to Linzi and Chengdu to seek help from the two emperors, also received heavy rewards. Although Liu Bei did not send troops to attack Jiangdong, it also put a lot of pressure on Jiangdong. As for Yiji, Liu Zhang came to ask It's a pity that soldiers are useless, and Sun Ce and Xiahou Dun don't care about this edict at all.

However, when Liu Biao's banquet was in full swing, a piece of news made everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their faces full of horror, like the end of the world.

Chapter 3: Jingzhou Changes Owner

Chapter 3: Jingzhou Changes Owner

Three days after Liu Biao's grand celebration banquet, the meeting hall of Liu Biao's mansion in Xiangyang City is now lifeless, without the slightest joy of repelling Jiangdong's soldiers and horses.

Liu Biao's generals were all expressionless and buried their heads in silence. At this time, Liu Biao's face was also full of aging, as if he had experienced some catastrophe, and his eyes were dull.

"My lord, now Xiahou Dun's army has arrived outside Xiangyang City, please make a decision early." The lord Bo Kuailiang couldn't bear the silence at last, and spoke softly to Liu Biao, who was not downcast.

"My lord, the last general invites you to fight." Huang Zu, who was recalled, stood up angrily, and shouted loudly: "The last general is willing to fight the army to the death, kill Cao's army, and protect the lord and Jingzhou."

"The last general invites you to fight and swears to defend Jingzhou to the death!"

Under the leadership of Huang Zu, many generals of Liu Biao came out to fight.In an instant, the atmosphere in the conference hall was lively, and it was no longer as dead as before.

"My lord, now General Huang's soldiers and horses have returned to Xiangyang. The walls of Xiangyang City are high. In addition, the soldiers and horses brought back from the surrounding areas of Xiangyang City have a total of [-] people. The food and grass in the city are sufficient. You can defend Xiangyang to the death. Cao Jun has traveled far Come on, there must be insufficient food and grass, and we only need to defend Xiangyang City for a month, and Cao's army will retreat if they cannot attack for a long time." Kuai Yue hurriedly came out to offer advice to Liu Biao.

"Hey, just as you said, let Huang Zu be the general guarding the city, and all the soldiers in Xiangyang City will be mobilized by him. Go down." Liu Biao finished speaking weakly, got up and left, and let the following people look at me and look at me Look at you, and finally leave helplessly.

"Brother, Liu Biao has lost his vigor, even if he survives this calamity, he may not be able to do anything." After returning to the mansion, Kuai Yue said to Kuai Liang.

"Huh?" Kuai Liang listened to Kuai Yue's words, raised his right hand to prevent Kuai Yue from continuing, turned around to see that there was no one outside the door, and carefully closed the door. After the two sat down, Kuai Liang said: "I know you I mean, but we are a big family in Jingzhou, and we have followed Liu Biao for a long time, at this time of crisis, we should not do things like betraying the owner to seek glory, otherwise our Kuai family will be stigmatized forever."

"Brother misunderstood my meaning." Kuai Yue said softly: "Although there are [-] soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City and sufficient food and grass, the people's hearts are unstable and the army's momentum is low."

"Besides, Cai Mao has many cronies in Xiangyang City, and Cao Jun is an elite teacher. If Cai Mao secretly communicates with his cronies in Xiangyang City, and cooperates with the inside and outside, and Huang Zu is able to defend Xiangyang, it will be a matter of time before he fails. What I said in the conference hall today is just a matter of time." Just appease Liu Biao." Kuai Yue paused for a while, then continued: "We will not act as buyers, but we must not help Liu Biao too much, otherwise the day the city is destroyed, the Kuai family will be exterminated."

"Hmm!" Kuai Liang was shocked when he heard Kuai Yue's words, and then he realized that he nodded immediately, and decided not to take the lead in this Xiangyang defensive battle, and let things develop.
