Great Wei Nengchen

"Cao Hong is brave and good at fighting, and the tiger and wolf division under his command, it is better to avoid the edge temporarily, retreat to the south bank of Xiangshui, and use the natural danger to confront him!"

..............................

All the civil and military officials in Jingzhou offered advice and suggestions one after another. Some advocated peace, some advocated escape, and some were more tactful.

This is not surprising, Cao Jun has won many battles and wiped out the princes, and he is about to unify the land of the Central Plains. Speaking of Prime Minister Cao's majesty and the mighty army under his command, who in the world is not afraid?

Jingzhou has been peaceful for nearly a hundred years. It has never fought a big war, and the people don’t know how to fight. The eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo face to face. Even the good old man-Tao Qian and the bookworm-Kong Rong went into battle. Only Jingzhou didn’t send a single soldier. The pawn, the weakness of the folk customs, can be seen from this!

"Once we lost Xiakou, and then we lost Wancheng, even though Jingxiang Nine Counties are big, how many times can we go back? Is it difficult to retreat step by step until we escape to the wilderness of Jiaozhou?

Cao Jun's large-scale Northern Expedition is entangled with the Yuan family. In less than two or three years, it is impossible to unify the land of the Central Plains. Cao Hong is only tens of thousands of horses, nothing to be afraid of!

Jingzhou has enough money and food, complete armaments, and more than [-] horse, infantry, and navy troops. As long as they fight steadily, they will be able to stop Cao's army. Why retreat before fighting? "

Among the civil servants, there was a man who strongly advocated fighting. It was Kuai Yue, a well-known scholar in Jingxiang, and his ancestor was even more famous. He was the debater Kuai Yue who persuaded Han Xin to rebel when Chu and Han were fighting, and divided the world with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. It's a pity that Han Xin didn't listen to him, otherwise Weiyang Palace wouldn't have died tragically!

"Sir, what you said is right. Cao Hong only has tens of thousands of troops, and some of them will be left to defend the city. Even if ten of them fight one, we can afford it!"

"Even if we can't defeat Cao Jun, we can still hold on. Jingzhou's money, grain and ordnance can last for two years. Are you afraid that Cao Jun won't be exhausted?"

....................................

With the first main battle, some people will follow suit. Jingzhou has a lot of soldiers and horses and sufficient money and food. Why be afraid of Cao Hong? Even if he really surrendered, find a powerful character, such as the traitor Cao Cao, or Ghost face Xiao Lang!

Here comes the problem again. In order to resist the invasion of Cao Jun, in addition to soldiers, horses, ordnance, money and food, a general is needed to command the army. Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned and fell on a row of generals: Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He, Cai Wei, Cai Wu, Cai Hua...

There are two prominent families in Jingzhou: the Kuai family and the Cai family. The former is in charge of the government, relying on family education;

"Cao Hong acted so boldly that he dared to invade our city. As a good man, he should defend his family and country, and kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor. Unfortunately, my brother fell off a horse yesterday and accidentally injured his ankle. This time he made a contribution on the battlefield. I have no choice but to give it up to others!"

"The end general occasionally feels the wind and cold, his whole body is sore and weak, and he sweats profusely at night. It is really difficult to fight in battle. Let others have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds!"

"My little brother has hemorrhoids, and the blood between his legs is like a woman's every month... I really can't ride a horse, and I can't go into battle to meet the enemy!"

....................................

Not a family, not into a family, Liu Biao is a gorgeous idiot, and the brothers-in-law are all idiots, pretending to be sick, pretending to be in pain, pretending to be stupid... They tried every means, but they were unwilling to go to war, for fear that they would never return!

"Raising soldiers for thousands of miles, using them for a while, usually arrogant and domineering, how come at the critical moment, none of them are effective, I am so angry!"

The soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover up. Since everyone surnamed Cai was discouraged, the surname Liu had to join the battle. The problem is that Liu Biao is old and weak, and he doesn't understand martial arts. The eldest son Liu Qi is a wimp, and the second son Liu Cong is too young. , only one person can go out - Liu Bei!

"Your brother has battle-tested, rich experience, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other powerful generals. He will definitely be able to resist Cao Jun. Please don't refuse!"

"Thanks to my elder brother for taking me in, I will do my best to ensure that Jingzhou is safe. However, Xinye is a remote town with insufficient money, food, and armor. There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses. It is difficult to resist Cao's tens of thousands of tigers and wolves!"

After the meeting started, Liu Bei had been watching with cold eyes, despising the Jingzhou Group to the extreme. At this time, the question was asked on his own head, which was obviously to evade, but in fact nine words: want soldiers and horses, want money and food, and want armaments!

"Since this is the case, I will allocate 20 soldiers and horses, [-] dendrobium rations, some armor, weapons, and horses, in preparation for my younger brother's expedition. When you succeed and triumph, I will designate you as the prefect of Nanyang County!"

Liu Biao also really made a fool of himself. In order to keep the nine counties of Jingzhou, he began to cut his own "flesh and blood" to feed this watchdog to resist the tigers in the north!

"Jingzhou is full of talented people and strong generals like a cloud. I'm just here, how can I take on this important task? I'd better hire someone else."

"Emissary Liu is benevolent, righteous, wise and courageous. For the sake of the people of Jingzhou, don't shirk!"

........................

Next, Liu Bei pretended not to agree, and shied away a few more times, until the officials knelt down and begged, and then reluctantly agreed, took the tiger talisman and command arrow with both hands, and went out of the city to receive [-] elite soldiers, as well as a large amount of ordnance, food and grass, and returned home in a mighty manner. Xinye is gone!

In just one month, relying on empty gloves and white wolves, he managed to get [-] elite soldiers. This is the ability of a "national soldier". With such assistants, Liu Bei will also go straight to the sky!

Chapter 1048 Strong poles and weak branches, all soldiers are proud!

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

"Ho! - ho! ho!"

………………

Outside Xinye City - flags fluttering, war drums rumbling, [-] Jingzhou elite soldiers and horses, under the command of Liu Bei and Xu Shu, practiced various formations, simulating the method of attacking, killing and defending. , Come to watch one after another, and give out admiration from time to time!

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jingzhou originally belonged to the State of Chu. The people were tough, and the soldiers were brave. They continued to launch aggressive wars and annexed more than [-] countries. It became the one with the largest territory among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

Since the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, the main enemies of the country have been the Huns and Qiang people. The northern wars have been continuous and many elite soldiers have been trained. The southern part is relatively peaceful. With a mild climate and rich products, the people are far away from the battlefield and hungry. The folk customs have also become weaker!

Liu Bei and Xu Shu practiced soldiers and horses day and night, not afraid of the cold and suffering, bleeding and sweating, just to inspire bravery and increase their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, so as to meet the invading Cao army. In addition, they also did two things:

First, remove the generals and schools at all levels, replace them with confidantes, break the original organizational system, reorganize into three troops, and hand them over to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to command them, and firmly control the military power!

Jingzhou Mu - Liu Biao lent troops to Liu Bei in order to take back the troops after repelling the Cao army. Unfortunately, he didn't know that this big-eared brother of the same clan had a very good habit: no matter whether soldiers, horses or territory, he never No loan but no repayment!

What's more, taking advantage of Cao Jun's massive invasion and panic in Jingzhou, Liu Bei brought all the more than [-] counties of Nanyang County under his command in the name of "leading troops to resist"!

Second, from among the 3 horses, [-] people who are skilled in bows and horses and martial arts were selected through layer-by-layer screening and repeated competitions. They were replaced with white armor and white banners... As Liu Bei's personal guards, there is also a famous name -Bai Wubing!

Liu Bei traveled all over the world, fought and failed repeatedly, and gained a lot of knowledge. He found that there were elite troops in the hands of various princes, such as Gongsun Zan's "White Horse Yi Cong", Yuan Shao's "Great Ji Warrior", and Cao Cao's "Tiger and Leopard Warrior". Riding'... Especially Xiao Yi's Xuanjia iron cavalry, which can run for thousands of miles, as fast as lightning, making people hard to guard against!

Therefore, Liu Bei made up his mind to form an elite team, serving as a guard in peacetime and a vanguard in wartime. When the time comes, you can have a little more confidence in your survival!

"Report! -Cao Hong led 3 troops, selected a good day and an auspicious day, and set off from Wancheng to Xinye. The clan general-Xia Houjie is the vanguard officer!"

A few days later, the secret agents sent back news that after more than half a month of preparation, Cao Junma finally went south, and they came with great fanfare!

"Haha! - Surprise and surprise are the way to win. Those who delay for half a month and enter the army with great fanfare. Although Cao Hong is a veteran in the battlefield, he is actually a fool. Xia Houjie's dude is nothing to worry about." !"

After learning about the military situation, the military advisor Xu Shu burst out laughing. He had just made his mark when he met a stupid opponent who just happened to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and become famous!

"Cao Hong is brave and good at fighting. He is Cao Cao's confidant, so he is entrusted with the heavy responsibility of soldiers and horses. Why does he lead the army alone, but instead makes repeated tricks?"

Liu Bei is not good at using soldiers, but he is good at using people. He also disdains Cao Hong's methods of using soldiers. Isn't he much better than himself?

"Cao's army has never been defeated in the southern and northern wars, so that the soldiers and generals are so arrogant that they have the heart to despise Jingzhou. Besides, Cao Cao has to do everything by himself. As time goes by, all the generals and schools become dependent and lose the ability to think independently!"

Xu Shu pointed out the weakness of Cao Hong, or the weakness of the Cao Ying Group--"Strong poles and weak branches make all soldiers proud!" '

Since Cao Cao came to power, he has purged officials internally, encouraged farming, conquered the South and the North, and pacified the feudal lords, flattened the Yellow Turban, destroyed Lv Bu, captured Yuan Shu, and defeated Yuan Shao... All previous large-scale battles have led the troops in person. The advantage of doing so is that, Inspire the morale of the army, fight bravely, and establish your own mighty virtue!

In the affairs of the world, there are advantages and disadvantages. Cao Cao is too hardworking and too strong. Over time, the generals only know how to obey orders and do not think independently at all. Once they lead the army alone, they must be full of loopholes!

According to Xu Shu's view, although there are many generals in the Cao camp, there is only one real handsome guy - Xiao Lang, who is both civil and military, resourceful, able to command the army and calm the people, he is an all-around talent!

Ma Liu, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, and Xia Houdun are proficient in strategic strategies, have a calm personality, and can stand alone; the other generals are brave and foolish, restless, and can only charge forward and cannot lead the army independently!

In addition, Cao's army has been invincible and invincible since the rise of the army, almost unified the land of the Central Plains, and steadily suppressed the princes from all walks of life. This is the big fanfare to enter the army!

"Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers have always been defeated. I will make some arrangements here, and I will definitely kill every single piece of the enemy's army. Before long, Wancheng will be owned by the lord!"
