The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"If that's the case, brother Liu, you can sharpen your troops in the near future and wait for my news. Once I raise troops to deal with Liu Zheng, I will send someone to inform you."

"At that time, you help me attack Liu Zheng, and we will attack from left to right, which will definitely make Liu Zheng unable to deal with it. Success or failure depends on this battle!"

Liu Bei said, his eyes were full of fierceness at this time, as if he had seen the scene where Liu Zheng was defeated by him, and the passion in his heart was even more surging.

Alright, listen to Brother Xuande for everything!

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Brother Liu finally came to my place and took you around Chengdu?" "

"No, I still have some things to deal with, I can't stay with you for long, I need to return to Luoyang, let's go first!

Liu Bei stood up and said goodbye.

He came to Chengdu just to win over Liu Zhang, and now that the work was done, he naturally didn't plan to stay here for a long time.

Liu Zhang also knew that Liu Bei was very busy, so he didn't continue to ask to stay.

In the following time, Liu Bei began to prepare intensively, and set off a big battle again, targeting Liu Zheng.

On the one hand, he began to mobilize troops and horses with Ma Teng, and slowly moved to Yanzhou and increased troops near Yuzhou. On the other hand, he raised food and grass from various places and transported it to these two places.

Before the war started, food and grass went first. As long as there was enough food and grass, they would be able to take some opportunities in the next big battle, and they would not be passive because of these things about food and grass.

These things are easy to say, but in practice, it is not as simple as imagined.

Liu Bei knew that Liu Zheng had placed a lot of secret work in the entire Han Empire, and if there was any disturbance on his side, Liu Zheng would be aware of it immediately.

So when he does these things, he needs to do it secretly.

Try not to let Liu Zheng detect the wind in advance, otherwise their plan to attack Liu Zheng suddenly will not be successful.

As for Liu Bei's actions, although they were done very secretly, they could not be hidden from Liu Zheng's spies.

Jin Yiwei's spies have penetrated into various fields under Liu Bei's command, and there are thousands of people stationed in the military camp and place under Liu Bei's command.

Every year, Liu Zheng spends a lot of money on cultivating Jin Yiwei. Naturally, if he raises them, there will be some returns.

On Liu Bei's side, some actions have just begun. They transported some grain and grass from the Xiliang area and even Yizhou to the capital, and the news has already passed through the hands of the guards.

It was delivered to Liu Zheng's hands.

May.

Liu Zheng held Liu Bei in his hand and was gathering news about food and grass.

"Your Majesty, did Jin Yiwei send back new news?"

In the study room, Liu Zheng held the news of Jin Yiwei and fell into deep thought. Guo Jia stood on one side, and after seeing the change in Liu Zheng's expression, he immediately understood that something must have happened.

Immediately, he opened his mouth and asked Liu Zheng.

When Liu Zheng saw Guo Jia asking himself, he didn't want to think about these things here, so he opened his mouth and said something to Guo Jia.

"Yeah, the spies in Hanzhong came back with news that there seems to be some kind of agreement between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang, this guy, is constantly sending food and grass to Liu Bei's territory these days."

It is no secret that Liu Bei lacks food and grass. Last year, he managed to gather some food and grass, and Ma Chao and Zhao Yun led troops to kill Yanzhou.

This situation has not been alleviated.

"So, there seems to be some agreement between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang?"

Guo Jia also frowned, lost in thought.

Chapter 1000 two hundred and 26 what do you think

"There must be some kind of plan between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, otherwise Liu Zhang would not have sent Liu Bei food and grass."

"Besides, the spies in Luoyang recently sent us news that the little emperor of the big man sent people to Xiliang, and it seems that he is going to make some kind of mission to the Western Regions."

"I don't know what this fellow Liu Bei is tossing about. The big man is already in decline, so how can there be any spare energy to go to the Western Regions?"

Liu Zheng and Guo Jia started a discussion on this matter.

"Your Majesty, although Liu Bei is short of food and grass, if he doesn't plan to start another war in the short term, the food and grass is not particularly short. After all, it's another year, and it will soon be the autumn harvest. This year is a bumper harvest. year."

"It is reasonable to say that Liu Bei is not short of food and grass, but he actually transported a large amount of food and grass from Yizhou, which shows that Liu Bei is likely to have a big move in the near future, or even a military mobilization."

"On this point, Your Majesty, please pay close attention to the dynamics of soldiers and horses in various places under Liu Bei's command."

Through his own thinking, Guo Jia immediately thought that it was very likely that Liu Bei would have a military operation in the next period of time.

Liu Zheng also nodded after listening to Guo Jia's words.

"It has not yet been discovered that he has mobilized troops to our borders, so it is unclear whether he will use troops against us."

"However, we also have to guard against it. After all, we lost a lot of manpower in the Northern Expedition last year, and we haven't recovered from this. If Liu Bei launches an attack on us at this time and catches us off guard, we may not be able to deal with it in a short time."

Although at this moment, Liu Zheng has not discovered any movement of Liu Bei's use of troops.

But once Liu Bei mobilizes troops and horses, it must be aimed at him.

So Liu Zheng still had to be on guard.

At the same time, efforts were made to place Jin Yiwei's spies on Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

After all, the meaning of Yizhou's transportation of grain and grass must be aimed at him.

Liu Zheng has found out that Liu Bei is likely to mobilize troops.

Knowing this, Liu Bei also understood that their secretive actions must not completely escape Liu Zheng's eyes and ears.

So for safety reasons, he still used troops.

It's just that he concentrated all his troops in Bingzhou.

It seems to be the Huns who are preparing to attack Bingzhou.

Or attack the black mountain bandits.

Of course, the purpose of doing this is not that Liu Bei really wants to attack the Black Mountain bandits.

The current black bandits have already been recruited by him, and the rest are small groups of bandits without any organization, which is not enough for him to go to war.

He did it just to cover up.

The mobilization of soldiers and horses seems to be aimed at the Black Mountain bandits, but in fact it is the start of troops to prepare for the attack on Liu Zheng.

As long as troops and horses are mobilized near Bingzhou, once something happens, they can quickly go south from Hedong County, and they can reach the border of Liu Zheng in a few days.

As such.

You can catch Liu Zheng by surprise.

Liu Zheng's spies naturally found out about these things, but Liu Bei stationed his troops near Hedong County.

This did not attract the attention of these Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei passed the news to Liu Zheng, and even Liu Zheng himself didn't take it too seriously.

After all, the number of these people was always small, not enough to make Liu Zheng vigilant.

In this way, another two months passed.

Liu Bei of Luoyang gathered 3 soldiers and horses in Hedong.At the same time, hundreds of thousands of shi of grain and grass were collected from various places, enough for the army for a year.

And just at this moment, Fazheng, who was sent to the Guishuang Empire, returned.

Fazheng is back, returning to Dahan after his mission to the Guishuang Empire.

Not only did he bring various specialties from the Guishuang Empire.

This trip back can greatly enhance the economic exchanges between the Han Empire and the Guishuang Empire.

At the same time, it also brought [-] cavalry from the Guishuang Empire.

This is Liu Bei, who had discussed it with the little emperor from the beginning, and exchanged for a large area of ​​​​the Western Regions.

These [-] cavalry can obey Liu Bei's dispatch, and they only need to bear their daily rations before they can be requisitioned to deal with Liu Zheng.

With these cavalry, Liu Bei's strength suddenly increased greatly.

In an instant, he had the ability to compete with Liu Zheng.

The things he started deploying a few months in advance have also worked.

July.

The world, which had been peaceful for more than half a year, began to see war again.

Liu Zheng bullied Liu Bei several times, and finally made Liu Bei unable to calm down.

After Fazheng led [-] cavalry from the Guishuang Empire back to the Han Dynasty, they immediately attacked the Jingzhou area where Liu Zheng was located.

Those who sit in Jingzhou are Gan Ning and Sun Jian.

And Huang Zhong who was stationed in Shangyong.

Jingzhou is the top priority.

Because it is very close to the hinterland of the Han Empire.

As long as you enter Yingchuan from Nanyang and other places, you can directly reach Hulao Pass.

After breaking through the Hulao Pass, the land of Luoyang can be reached in an instant.

So Liu Zheng stationed tens of thousands of troops here.

The purpose is also very clear, one is to guard against a large number of enemy troops that may come here.

Secondly, once he has the opportunity, he can gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to surprise Luoyang.

It's a pity that the plan to surprise Luoyang had not found a chance, so Liu Bei was provoked and led an army of tens of thousands to attack southward.

The first to bear the brunt is Nanyang County.

Nanyang County is the closest to the imperial court.

Although Liu Zheng has as many as 3 troops stationed here.

However, without any preparation, Liu Bei personally led the soldiers and horses to kill here, and still suffered heavy losses.

Tens of thousands of cavalry swept over and captured several cities in an instant.

Gan Ning, who was stationed here personally, could not react quickly, and mobilized soldiers and horses to organize a defensive line, blocking Liu Bei's cavalry outside the city.

At the same time, he immediately passed the news to Liu Zheng of Jianye through Jinyiwei's intelligence network.

end of June.

Liu Zheng urged his factories to build a large number of catapults and improved Zhuge Liannu.

Just as he was excited, news came from Jin Yiwei's intelligence network that made him furious.

Liu Bei led an army of [-] to the south in the blink of an eye, killed Nanyang County, and was attacking Jingzhou.

When this news reached Liu Zheng, why did it shock Liu Zheng?

Because he clearly sent a large number of spies to follow any actions of Liu Bei.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Liu Bei to gather so many soldiers and horses and fight to Jingzhou without him noticing.

But Liu Bei took people to kill Nanyang.

But he received no news at all.

Wait until he knows the news.

Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have arrived in Nanyang County and are fighting Gan Ning.

He immediately called a court meeting.

All the generals and officials in Jianye City were called.

At the court meeting, everyone was present.

Liu Zheng roared at the generals present.

"Liu Bei led an army of 8 to fight! Who gave him the courage? How dare he fight me with 8 people?"

"My gentlemen, what do you think?"

Chapter 1000 two hundred 27 Liu Bei strikes

At this moment, Liu Zheng's expression was gloomy.
