In Fang Yucheng, Liu Dai's face was ashen, and he said angrily: "The 5000 army has lost more than [-] people, and the Xuzhou army has only fought [-] people."

"Come here, take Mao Hui out and behead him for public display." Liu Dai shouted.

Two soldiers stepped forward to support Mao Hui.

"Excuse me, Zhou Mu, the last general has done his best." Mao Hui shouted.

Engaged Wang Kai came out and said: "Zhou Mu, General Mao is a general of our army. Killing a general before the battle will not make the lieutenant generals panic, and I hope Zhou Mu will think twice."

The rest of the generals came forward to intercede one after another. Regardless of Mao Hui's results when he led the army to fight against Lu Bu's army, he still had a certain prestige in the Yanzhou army.

Tao Qian said: "Liu Zhoumu, although General Mao has committed crimes, he is not guilty of death. If you let him take the blame and make meritorious service, we will discuss the punishment after defeating the Xuzhou army."

Liu Dai was silent for a moment and said, "Let's just bypass Mao Hui for the time being, according to everyone's advice."

After all, Mao Hui has followed him for many years, and he has worked hard without credit. If he killed Mao Hui, wouldn't it chill the hearts of his subordinates.

Cao Cao shook his head secretly. In the army, the emphasis is on clear rewards and punishments. If a general fails in a battle and is not punished, it will inevitably give people the illusion that nothing will happen even if he fails, which is not good for the long-term development of an army.

However, the commander-in-chief of the Yanzhou Army is Liu Dai. Even if he has an opinion, he can only keep it in his heart.

After this battle, the Yanzhou Army commanded by Liu Dai has been unable to form an effective threat to the Xuzhou Army. In the next battle, the Yanzhou Army will be in a passive position.

The morale in the city was low, and the expressions of the soldiers couldn't hide their panic. It can be seen that the previous battle had a great impact on them.

Compared with the Xuzhou Army in terms of reward and punishment system, the Yanzhou Army has many gaps, and the Yanzhou Army lacks strong generals. With the army in such a state, it is not easy to form a confrontation with the Xuzhou Army.

Chapter 82 Liu Bei's Strategy

Although Liu Dai is not superior in leading troops in battle, the reason for this can still be understood.

When the news came that Lu Bu led the army and defeated Xiapi and Guangling's attacking Pengcheng army with thunder, Liu Dai sighed.

In this confrontation with Lu Bu, Yanzhou has failed, so they can only pin their hopes on Qingzhou. If Qingzhou's army still fails, the grand campaign against Lu Bu will end in failure. Not only that, they also have to be on guard Revenge from Lu Bu's army.

Lu Bu is an out-and-out fierce general. When such generals think about things, they are often desperate.

The situation of the Yanzhou Army was bad, and Liu Dai sighed and sighed all day long, without his initial high spirits.

The morale of the Xuzhou army is high. Although they suffered a small loss in the Yanzhou army before, it was the order of the commander in chief of the army. Now that they have defeated the Yanzhou army, it is the most exciting. Many soldiers are calculating this time. After the battle, how much credit can be obtained.

At this time, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, led the army and was attacked by Xuzhou cavalry near Pengcheng. Occupying an absolute advantage, but after the battle, fell into such a situation.

The battle between the Yanzhou army and the Xuzhou army was an important part of the Xuzhou battle, but after Lu Bu defeated Xiapi and the Guangling army returned to Pengcheng, he was not in a hurry to return to the Yanzhou battlefield.

Kong Rong and Liu Bei led an army of 5000 to attack Langye. At this time, Langye's garrison only had [-] troops. If the situation in Langye can be completely stabilized, Lu Bu will be able to gain a firm foothold in this change of princes.

In various counties, [-] Qingzhou troops set up camp ten miles away from the city, and Zhang Fei would lead more than a hundred cavalry to fight outside the city every day.

At the beginning, the generals in the army were naturally angry when faced with such an arrogant provocation from the enemy, but after Zang Ba went out to defeat Zhang Fei, the generals in the Xuzhou army realized how extraordinary Zhang Fei was. If Cheng stepped forward to rescue in time, Zang Ba might have died under Zhang Fei's snake spear.

There are [-] troops in the counties, which is more than enough to defend the attack of the Qingzhou Army. As for the Qingzhou Army daring to abandon the counties, it is impossible to enter the hinterland of Xuzhou.

The confrontation between the two armies requires money and food as support. Zang Ba and Hou Cheng have Xuzhou as support, so there is no need to worry about food, grass and supplies, but the situation in Qingzhou is not very good.

Originally, Qingzhou was considered so-so among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qingzhou has become unsightly. Yellow Turbans fleeing from Qingzhou.

The Yellow Turban of Qingzhou is famous for its toughness, besieging cities and looting counties and counties with great momentum.

"President of the State, our army has been stationed outside the counties for a month, and the Xuzhou army has not moved at all, which is intriguing." Liu Bei said.

When facing Kong Rong, Liu Bei was very polite. Kong Rong is a member of the Kong family, and even in the court, he still has influence.

Kong Rong laughed and said, "Xuande needn't worry. Then Lu Bu first betrayed Ding Yuan, governor of Bingzhou, and then betrayed Dong Zhuo to attack Pengcheng. How can such villainous people last long? If the officials of Pengcheng know that our army is coming, they will surely gather together In response, if Xuzhou is unstable, Lu Bu must be panicked, so why worry about not being able to attack Xuzhou."

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "The Prime Minister's words are true, but Lu Bu has thousands of elite cavalry under his tent, they are extremely tough."

"It's just a man's bravery, and he can be captured in a single battle." Kong Rong said, expressing a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu in words.

Tao Qian was a member of the gentry, and Lu Bu was a military commander. Lv Bu drove Tao Qian out of Xuzhou by virtue of his bravery. This kind of behavior is difficult for the gentry to accept.

"The Prime Minister of the country has a mission, so Bei must use his strength." Liu Bei said.

Kong Rong said with a smile: "With the help of Xuande, it is easy to break through the counties."

The actions of the aristocratic family were far from being as simple as they appeared on the surface. That night, chaos erupted in the counties, and the city gate was almost lost. If the army hadn't been for the timely support of the city gate, the Qingzhou army might have already entered the city.

Zang Ba and Hou Cheng were furious. The counties even had internal support from the Qingzhou Army, and immediately ordered that all families with abnormalities be eradicated.

When military commanders act, they don't have as many scruples as civilian officials, but they will spare no effort to eradicate anyone who threatens their safety.

More than [-] people were beheaded by the soldiers of the army. The scene was extremely spectacular, and the people in the city were terrified.

After Kong Rong got the news, he sighed deeply, contacted the officials of the counties, and opened the city gate secretly. It was the plan of Kong Rong and Liu Bei.

Xuzhou is currently empty, as long as Zang Ba and Hou Cheng are defeated, the Qingzhou army can drive straight in and drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou.

"Prime Minister, just to be prepared, why don't you send elite troops to cut off the Xuzhou army's food roads? If the Xuzhou army lacks food and grass, there will be chaos in the army. Why don't you worry about breaking the city in one fell swoop." Liu Bei said.

Kong Rong frowned slightly and said, "Cut off the enemy's food supply?"

"Exactly, food and grass are the foundation of a large army." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"Our army came from Qingzhou. Zang Ba has guarded Langye for many years. He must be more familiar with the terrain than our army. It is not easy to find the grain road of Xuzhou army." Kong Rong said.

Liu Bei laughed and said, "It's because it's not easy, so Zang Ba and others absolutely can't imagine that our army dares to send elites to cut off the grain road. As long as the operation is successful, Langye and Xuzhou are within easy reach."

Speaking of this, a light flashed in Liu Bei's eyes. The princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and his three brothers made a lot of contributions. Liu Bei was able to become the prime minister of Pingyuan. This cannot satisfy Liu Bei. Qingzhou is barren, and he needs more prosperous As a place, Xuzhou is a good choice at present. If you work hard to become the lord of Xuzhou, you will gain a foothold among the princes.

It is not Liu Bei's wish to live under the fence of others, he also wants to become a monarch.

"I don't know who can lead the troops there?" Kong Rong asked.

Liu Bei said: "Zhang Fei, the third younger brother of a certain person, has the courage that is beyond all means. If his commander-in-chief goes there, he will surely succeed."

"Okay, all the cavalry in the army are dispatched by General Zhang Fei. The truth is that the Xuzhou Army's food road has been cut off." Kong Rong said.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, this matter will definitely come true." Liu Bei cupped his hands.

Currently, there are 600 cavalry in the Qingzhou Army. This is the most elite force in the Qingzhou Army. Liu Bei is naturally salivating over the control of these cavalry. After seeing the power of Dong Zhuo's cavalry on the battlefield, Liu Bei realized the battlefield. The importance of cavalry.

Chapter 83 Lu Bu's Plan

Kong Rong nodded. If the Xuzhou army can be defeated in this battle, it will be of great significance. As a member of the Kong family, what he cares most about is etiquette. At that time, the princes supported their troops and respected themselves, and did not pay attention to the emperor, what would be the result.

Now Lu Bu, the master of Xuzhou, is the best representative of the courtiers in troubled times. After destroying the powerful Lu Bu, he can deter the princes.

Zhang Fei led [-] cavalry, full of hopes of the Qingzhou Army, and quietly marched towards Langya.

The Xuzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army are dealing with each other, and the support of food and supplies is essential. If the Xuzhou Army's food road is cut off, the Qingzhou Army will win this battle.

Zhang Fei is full of fighting spirit. This is the first time he has led so many cavalry to fight, and his blood is surging. This is a great opportunity for him to become famous among the princes.

In the battle of Hulaoguan, Lu Bu was not killed. I didn’t expect that Lu Bu has become a climate now. He wants to occupy Xuzhou and want to fight against the princes of the world. How can there be such a cheap thing? Living in the plains, how can this be done.

The grain road is a hiding place for a large army. When a large army is fighting, ensuring the safety of the grain road is the top priority. If even the grain road cannot be preserved, failure will not be far away.

Zhang Fei is not very familiar with the situation in Xuzhou. The Qingzhou cavalry led Li Zhong, who had been to Langya in the past and was the deputy general of the cavalry.

The name of Zhang Fei's bravery was spread among the princes after the Battle of Hulao Pass. When facing Zhang Fei, Li Zhong did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

"General Zhang, there are quite a few cavalry in the Xuzhou army, so you should act cautiously," Li Zhong reminded.

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The deputy general is too cautious. Although the Xuzhou army has elite cavalry, the Xuzhou army needs to deal with the attacks of the Yanzhou army and the Qingzhou army, and there is no spare energy to take care of the battle of Langya."

"The general is wise, and he has no strategy left." Li Zhong complimented.

Seeing Li Zhong's behavior, Zhang Fei felt relieved. After all, among the [-] cavalry, more than [-] cavalry were from the Qingzhou Army.

Of the [-] cavalrymen, [-] were directly sent out for Zhang Fei to explore the grain road.

"General, the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army are found [-] miles ahead." Song Xian rode over and shouted.

Lu Bu frowned slightly. The appearance of the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army in Langye is itself a puzzling thing. Currently, the Qingzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army are confronting each other in various counties. The cavalry in the Qingzhou Army is an important force in the battle against the Xuzhou Army. Going to Langye, once the cavalry is damaged, it will deal a big blow to the morale of the Qingzhou army.

"You personally lead the elite cavalry to investigate, and don't disturb the Qingzhou cavalry." Lu Bu urged.

"The general will understand." Song Xian got the order, rode his horse and whipped away.

"Qingzhou cavalry are wandering in the territory of Langye, why?" Lu Bu fell into deep thought.

"General, the dried meat carried by our cavalry is enough to last for five days." The general in charge of food and grass in the army stepped forward to report the situation as usual.

Lu Bu patted his head and said, "I see."

"General, what's the matter?" The general asked puzzled.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost delayed the important event."

The general didn't know why, but he was quite excited to be able to help Lu Bu.

"Immediately tell Langye's team of transporting grain, grass and supplies to move closer to the general without delay," Lu Bu said.

The next day, when the sky was getting dark, the food delivery team arrived at the designated place. Sun Guan was very excited when he saw Lv Bu. In the past, Lv Bu entered Kaiyang single-handedly. Come on, Lu Bu is a hero, ordinary people, etc., who can have the courage of Lu Bu.

"The general has seen the lord." Sun Guan clasped his fists and said.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, "General Sun Guan is in charge of transporting food, grass and supplies, so I would feel more at ease."

"Thanks to the praise of the lord, this is the last part of the job." Sun Guandao.

"In the past, you must have been in charge of transporting food and grass. Now, there are cavalry from the Qingzhou Army in Langye. I suspect that these cavalry came for food and grass for the army." Lu Bu said slowly.

Sun Guan's face changed slightly, "The Qingzhou army dares to do this, and the last general will lead people to destroy them."

"There's no need for that. General Sun only needs to follow the general's orders to ensure that the Qingzhou cavalry never returns." Lu Bu said with a smile.

The team transporting food, grass and luggage is still moving forward as before, and the soldiers in the army are more cautious than before in the process of moving forward.

In the afternoon, the soldiers of the army endured the hot sigh and continued to move forward, wearing armor and blades, neatly dressed.

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he learned that the Xuzhou Army's food and supplies team had appeared. He immediately ordered the cavalry to come forward. The Qingzhou Army sent cavalry to cut off the Xuzhou Army's food road at such a time. There is a lack of protection in this regard.

Six hundred cavalrymen, divided into six teams, galloped towards Sun Guan and the others.

The sound of horseshoes resounded in the sky, and the Xuzhou army escorted the grain and grass soldiers were a little confused, but under the organization of the general, they quickly responded and quickly gathered the grain carts together. In this case, when facing the cavalry charge, the escort The pawns with food and grass have the power to resist.

After Zhang Fei saw the movement of the Xuzhou army not far away, he was slightly taken aback. He obviously did not expect that the Xuzhou army could respond so quickly under such circumstances. If the same situation happened to Liu Bei's army, it must be Another scene.

"Kill!" Zhang Fei shouted violently.

The sound is like a bell, inspiring.

The sparse rain of arrows had limited impact on the cavalry. Some Xuzhou soldiers who had no time to form a defensive formation fell under the attack of the cavalry. battlefield.

The confrontation between the armies, young and strong participating in it, is no different from sending to death.

The scene was chaotic, Sun Guan gave orders with a livid face, and Lu Bu led the cavalry to hide in the dark. If they did not perform well, it would be difficult to get reused in the army in the future.

Sun Guan's ability in commanding the soldiers is good, but the chaos of the young and strong brings about the problem of the soldiers' defense.

The cavalry's arrows kept harvesting the lives of soldiers and young adults.

The Qingzhou cavalry kept shouting, and the chaos of the Xuzhou army made them energetic. As long as they defeated the team in front of them and burned the food and grass of the Xuzhou army, they would become heroes of the Qingzhou army.

The fighting was going on, and the Xuzhou army did not mean that they had no resistance. Many soldiers relied on the defense of the grain carts to continuously resist the cavalry's attack, and the results were good.

Chapter 84

"General, when will you do it?" In the jungle not far away, a general asked eagerly.

Song Xiandao: "Is there an order from the general?"

"not yet."

"Then wait, what's the rush? Could it be that Marquis Wen himself made a move, and these Qingzhou cavalry can still go to the sky." Song Xian scolded.

"What the general said is true." The general nodded repeatedly.

After a while, another general came forward to inquire. They watched the Qingzhou army galloping across the field, and their hearts were impatient. The cavalry under Lu Bu's command were brave and good at fighting, and they were famous all over the world.
