The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"Afterwards, I arrived and led the trapped camp to repel Tadun's men and horses."

Lu Bu briefly described to Liu Zheng the battle that took place at Luomakou.

Although it is simple, Liu Zheng can still feel the danger in it. ,

This can be seen from the fact that only 7000 of the 2000 troops left behind by Tai Shici returned.

Tai Shici's battle can be regarded as a meritorious service.

"Ziyi, you have worked so hard in this battle, go down and take a good rest first, I will let Huang Xu go and show you, General Lu Su will temporarily take the position of General Tai Shici."

After Liu Zheng learned about it, he arranged for them to go down to rest first without telling Tai Shici Lu Buduo.

At the same time, I recruited Guo Jia, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and others to discuss the next thing.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After Tai Shici left.

Lu Bu did not follow him.

Instead, he stayed.

After all, although Lu Bu was also fighting on the battlefield, he didn't suffer any injuries. For Lu Bu, fighting with that intensity was nothing more than loosening his muscles and bones.

He stayed to hear what Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others had to talk about.

Before Zhuge Jin, Lu Su and others arrived.

Only Lu Bu spoke here.

"Your Majesty, I fought those Karasuma people. Those people are nothing more than mobs. They are not as powerful as the Huns I dealt with in Bingzhou back then."

Who is Lu Bu?He is the number one general in the Three Kingdoms, and naturally he would not take the Karasuma people seriously when facing those Karasuma people.

Liu Zheng didn't take Lu Bu's words to heart when he heard them.

All the soldiers and horses under his command are not like Lu Bu. If they all have Lu Bu's strength, then of course it is easy to say. The problem is that Lu Bu's strength is just an example.

So the Karasuma people still make Liu Zheng afraid.

It's not about how strong the Karasuma people are alone, but the powerful strength they bring together when they gather together.It cannot be ignored by any prince.

In history, even Cao Cao was severely harassed by these northern nomads.

Not to mention the current Liu Zheng.

"What General Lu Bu said was easy. After all, General Lu likes February the most in a year."

"Well, why do I like February?"

Liu Zheng said something to Lu Bu half-jokingly, but Lu Bu frowned, not understanding what Liu Zheng meant.

"Naturally, this is because General Lu Bu, you only have 2 days in February to fight the enemy."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty said it is very true."

After some jokes.

Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and others finally entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, they have arrived."

Guo Jia gestured to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng nodded quickly, and asked Lu Su and Zhuge Jin when he opened his mouth.

"Everyone, what Feng Xiao said has basically become a reality. Those Karasuma people in the city really sent troops to chase us."

"Fortunately, General Tai Shici was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and fought hard to escape for us. Otherwise, this battle will be a great sacrifice for us, and our army may suffer heavy losses."

Liu Zheng said something to those present.

On the one hand, he praised Tai Shici for his loyalty, and on the other hand, he described the current situation.

"Your Majesty, this time it's safe and sound. I made a mistake and didn't expect that Yuan Xi would have a backhand."

After Guo Jia saw the melancholy look on Liu Zheng's face, he immediately stood up and took over the crime this time.

How could Liu Zheng really blame him for Guo Jia's words?

Not to mention, Guo Jia has already done a lot of credit for seeing through Yuan Xi's tricks in advance. If Guo Jia hadn't seen through the plan of the Xianbei people, I'm afraid that Liu Zheng's manpower would fight the Xianbei people outside Lecheng County , it is estimated that there will be no benefit.

Heavy losses are inevitable, and there may be a great possibility that they will be caught by the enemy.

It was precisely because Guo Jia pierced through Yuan Xi's tricks that Liu Zheng's men had a buffer.

"Feng Xiao, you don't need to blame yourself. You can't blame you for this matter. It's already very good that you can detect it in advance."

"Besides, now is not the time for us to blame ourselves, and we have not caused too much loss. We should be thankful for this matter. Let's talk about the next plan. Yuan Xi has the help of the Xianbei people. This is not good news for us."

Liu Zheng frowned and expressed his worries.

At this time, several counselors present looked at each other.

It was Lu Su who stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is not a complete disadvantage for us, and we don't need to be completely worried."

"Zijing, what do you think?"

"Although Yuan Xi has the help of the Xianbei people, their essential problems have not been solved."

When Liu Zheng asked, Lu Su immediately opened his mouth and talked about his views.

"Whether it's Yuan Xi, Karasuma people, or even Xianbei people, they all lack food."

"Yuan Xi, Tadun, and even Xianbei people, even if they get together, they can't solve the problem of food and grass. On the contrary, if they stay together and gather their troops in one place, they will consume more food and grass."

"We don't even need to fight them, we just need to delay. They have no food and they retreat."

Lu Su was not afraid of these ethnic minorities in the north at all.

Even, as long as these nomadic people do not change from nomadism to farming for a day, it will be difficult for them to really enter the Central Plains in their entire life.

"Lack of food is indeed a fatal problem for them at present, but the more troops they gather, the more beneficial they are. Most of them are cavalry. As long as they rob nearby and plunder the food and grass of major towns, it is okay to say that large cities can Can stop one or two."

"However, those small county towns can easily be breached. When the time comes when there is a shortage of food and grass, I am afraid that my big fellow people will become their food."

In this day and age, cannibalism is nothing.

It is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that when Liu Bei fled, he was trapped in a family.

The family Liu An admired Liu Bei, and in order to entertain Liu Bei, he killed his wife, took her meat, and gave Liu Bei to eat.

Although it was, it can be seen from the recorded things that people of that era were very fond of cannibalism.

Not particularly exclusive.

There is also Cheng Yu, a counselor under Cao Cao, who also used human flesh as military rations in order to raise military rations for Cao Cao.

These are extraordinary measures taken in extraordinary times.

Even the Han people are like this, let alone these northern barbarians.

When they had no food, it was no problem to slaughter war horses and even eat big men and people.

That's why Liu Zheng was worried. If these wolves were pushed into a hurry, they would take risks.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. We still don't know the situation of Yuan Xi and the Xianbei people. There is no use in worrying. Besides, we have received the news that the battle in Yecheng is over."

"The soldiers and horses who went to Yecheng to support them will come soon. We only need to wait another two or three days, and that will be enough."

"At that time, once the army arrives, even if Yuan Xi has Xianbei people to help him, he will surely perish under the attack of our army."

Guo Jia comforted Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng nodded.

Didn't say much about these things.

At this moment, he couldn't help thinking of his disciple Zhou Yu.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhou Yu is currently in Liaodong, leading his [-] soldiers and horses, looking for Yuan Xi's lair here.

Since Zhou Yu and Sun Ce proposed a surprise attack on Yuan Xi's lair with Liu Zheng half a month ago, they led their troops and separated from Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng led most of Zhou Yu's troops and continued to Hejian County, while Zhou Yu and Sun Ce led the people to Le'an County in Qingzhou.

From Le'an County, there is a shipping terminal linking Qingzhou and Jizhou by Liu Zheng.

Because there is a large Jieshi near the sea, it is also called Jieshi Port.

In history, Cao Cao saw the magnificent sea here on his way back from his expedition to Wuhuan, and wrote a famous article.

It's called Guancanghai.

The first two sentences are facing Jieshi in the east to see the sea.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce didn't have such a state of mind when they came here. They only thought about becoming famous in the first battle and helping Liu Zheng solve these alien races in the north.

There is Liu Zheng's shipping fleet in Jieshi Port, with [-] soldiers and horses, and only a few ships are needed to transport them to Youzhou.

Near Changli County, Liaodong, Youzhou.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce got off the boat with three thousand soldiers and ten days' dry food.

This is the first time Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have come to this desolate place in the north.

However, this didn't make Zhou Yu and Sun Ce feel unfamiliar, but they were eager to try. This was the first time they led troops to expedition against the enemy.

I especially want to do this well and perform well in front of Liu Zheng.

"Gongjin, this should be Liaodong. Your Majesty told us that although Yuan Xi is in Youzhou, he has placed his lair in Liaodong. Fanyang, the prefecture of Youzhou, is too close to Jizhou. They don't build troops."

"Besides, the Liaodong area is the territory of those Karasuma people. If we attack by surprise, we will definitely be able to cause severe damage to those Karasuma people and Yuan Xi."

After landing on the shore, Sun Ce told Zhou Yu about his plan.

Although they are not familiar with the Liaodong area, Liu Zheng is familiar with it here.

Liu Zheng started sending spies to the Youzhou area a few years ago. These spies have been operating in Youzhou for several years.

Every year, some news will be sent back to Liu Zheng's territory.

This time, Zhou Yu personally came to the territory of the northern nomads.

The idea was to get in touch with the spies that Liu Zheng had ambushed here before.

As long as you get in touch with them, Zhou Yu and the others won't run around here like headless chickens. They have enough information to quickly grasp some news.

Then formulate corresponding combat plans based on these messages.

"Let's change our costume first, and then see if we can find some small tribes to exchange for some horses. After we have horses, we will go to the nearest city and contact our spies."

Zhou Yu's calculation with Sun Ce's plan in his heart also got the approval of Sun Ce and others.

A group of people log in.

Soon, he hid his figure and appeared in the Liaodong area, a tribe that leaned towards the coast.

Nomads live in groups of tribes. A tribe may have as many as a thousand people, and a tribe may have as few as dozens of people.

Raising cattle, sheep and horses.

They don't stay in one place for too long.

Because the abundance of aquatic plants in each place is different, when the cattle and horses raised stay in one place for too long.

The fodder here will be drastically reduced.Then those cattle and sheep will have no food source.

So those tribes of nomads often change locations.

It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for them to gather too many people and horses together. If too many people gather together, they will raise more animals and stay in a certain place for a shorter time.

On the contrary, small groups of people gather together and can stay longer in certain places.

Because of this, when Zhou Yu and Sun Ce approached these small tribes, there was no danger.

Although there is a natural estrangement between the Karasuma people and the Han people, that is only in the past.

In the past 200 years, Karasuma people and Han people have had close contacts, and everyone no longer has that strange feeling.

They even do business frequently.
