Uncle, please help the Han family

Liu Yu ordered his servants to send the secret letter outside the account into his own hands, then opened the letter box and began to read it.

Looking at the urgent letter sent by Jicheng Pegasus, Liu Yu's expression became more and more serious.

The seriousness made Liu Bei a little nervous, because Zhou Mu stared at himself a few times after reading the letter.

Sighing lightly, putting down the letter, Liu Yu closed his eyes and fell into silence.

That's bad, but not bad.

This is a good thing, but not very good, it can only be said to be a little bit better.

The bad thing is that if this battle is not won, the mutual market may not be able to continue, and the target of more than 2 horses is still [-] horses, and Youbei's taxes will also be reduced.

The good thing is that if he wins the battle and wins with his own people, he can greatly reduce his dependence on Gongsun Zan, and the general will reshuffle the cards and replace them with his own people.

"Brother Bo'an?" Liu Bei was very worried about Liu Yu's current state and wanted to solve his problems.

But Nai He has not been appointed to a formal official position now, so he is a little bit unconfident.

"Xuande."

Opening his eyes, he put his hands directly on Liu Bei's shoulders. Liu Yu, who used to touch the emperor's aunt, was not because of owed hands this time.He said seriously: "The road to becoming a hero is here."

Chapter 32 The Lion's Big Opening

The road to becoming a hero is coming?

Is there a war?

Liu Bei was taken aback by Liu Yu's words, his eyes were full of tension: "Master?"

Liu Yu moved away the hand that was on Liu Bei's shoulder, and after handing the secret letter to the other party, he leaned back with a tired expression, not wanting to speak.

I thought it was raining, but it turned out that this group of aristocratic families had left me speechless.

After receiving the letter, Liu Bei hurriedly read it carefully. As she learned the contents of the letter little by little, her emotions became a little bit agitated, and finally she became furious: "It's unreasonable! There is a traitor who is an internal response to the barbarians. Li Tong Aliens harming my people. Really, really hateful!"

Liu Bei has always been unafraid to speculate on the Youzhou people with the worst malice, but she still didn't expect that someone would make an appointment with the Hu people at the juncture of the harvest ceremony, and provoke war with internal and external cooperation.

"This is the information intercepted by Gongsun Fan of Jicheng. The person who sent the letter doesn't know yet, but according to the agreed date, within three days, the Hu army will come to the Great Wall." Although Liu Yu guessed that the family was causing trouble , but there is no evidence that he will not talk nonsense, so the guess part is omitted.

"The Great Wall defenders can resist it?"

Liu Bei, who has lived in Zhuojun for a long time as a military officer, is not very clear about the defense situation outside the pass. Although he has done a lot of research at home in the past few days, because of his low official position, he lacks important sources of information after all.

"The garrison of the Great Wall is mainly guarded in the east of Liaoxi, that is, at Gongsun Zan, and the defenses there are absolutely tight." Liu Yu explained after recalling a little, "I only stationed three thousand people outside the pass in the two places of Shanggudai County. The sergeants, plus the county guards, add up to no more than [-]. They can resist, but they cannot defend for a long time."

The reason for not being able to defend for a long time is not that the [-] regular troops can't hold it for even a month, but that it is right behind Shanggu in Daijun, that is, Zhongshan County in Jizhou. , 'pry open' the Great Wall.

At that time, my [-] regular army will have foreign enemies in front and internal ghosts in the back, and they will be trapped in a situation where they will be attacked from both sides.

"This battle...is actually solvable!" Liu Bei thought for a while, then he had a flash of inspiration, and then sent someone to bring a map, and went to Liu Yu's side. According to the map, he explained, "The civil strife in Youzhou these years is basically The above are all because of the collusion between Han officials and foreigners. That is to say, most of the rebels rely on the Hu cavalry to attract troops, and then take advantage of the situation to attack the city. will stop."

The reason for the rebellion is simple, and that is to have common interests.

The rebellious Han officials needed city land, and the looting Hu people needed food and people, so the two forces formed a tacit understanding at this moment.

"It's really ironic that Hu Han's family is actually realized at this time."

"My lord, I thought that Han people who colluded with foreigners are not human at all. This is Han..." Realizing that venting his emotions is useless, Liu Bei quickly sobered up. .And we only need to block these tens of thousands of barbarians!"

"But, to tell you the truth." Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt a little tricky, "This battle is certainly victorious, but I don't want to rely on Gongsun Zan, because if she wins, she will become more arrogant in the future, and there is a reason to expand the army. But if you don't Gongsun Zan, then our army may not be strong enough."

"My lord, besides the army of garrisoning the fields, there are tens of thousands of people in Youzhou. Even if they are guarded separately, at least 2 people can still be dispatched, right?"

"But I have more than 1 cavalry that have been trained for less than three months. Now they are sent to the battlefield. If there is any loss, the schedule for building a cavalry will be postponed."

Liu Yu originally had a good idea. He was given a year and a half to farm and train soldiers. After the princes called for Dong, he would not play those fancy things at all.

But now, a big local war is about to start, and the training may be delayed again.

Moreover, the money and food needed to train a cavalry is enough for five families to spend for a year, and it would be a pain to break one.

"Indeed, the cavalry is elite, neither men nor horses can be lost." Liu Bei nodded in affirmation.

Then, he raised his head and looked into Liu Yu's eyes, and asked quite nervously, "My lord, where is the way to become a hero?"

"This..." Looking at Liu Bei with sincere eyes, and then remembering the difficulty of this battle, he made a hesitant expression, "But this time the enemy is outnumbered, and you are not familiar with Xuande because you are still in office. Youzhou military affairs, I'm afraid..."

The implication of Liu Yu's words is that I would like to appoint you as the main general in this battle, lead the army to resist the powerful enemy outside the pass, and achieve some feats, but the combat mission is too difficult, and the disparity in the number of troops is also large. Besides, the political situation in Youzhou is complicated. , it is not suitable for you to come.

I am suitable!

I am suitable, my lord!

Xuande forgot to wear his eyes, and looked straight at Liu Yu, expecting the other party's extraordinary promotion.

I'm not afraid, it's only tens of thousands of people, and it's not like I haven't fought before. I wasn't afraid when five hundred militiamen fought tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans. Now I have [-] regular troops, and I have the advantage!

"Forget it, let General Jicheng go out to fight against the barbarians." Liu Yu patted Liu Bei's shoulder with his hands, and comforted him with a smile, "Xuande and your two younger sisters still lead thousands of troops and stationed on the western front to prevent Let the traitors from Zhongshan County surround you."

"...My lord!"

"I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more. There will be wars in the future, and I will definitely give the credit to Xuande."

"..."

Liu Bei would never accept that the opportunity he had obtained was lost like this.

However, I really have no prestige, let alone a record that is too good for the lord to trust.

In other words, it is enough to do well what the master has assigned to you, and you will always have a chance to prove yourself in the future.

That might be good...

"Lord!"

But if you want to be your hero's hero, you can't back down.

Liu Bei walked directly in front of Liu Yu, and bowed down to him in the cramped carriage.

"Xuande, what do you mean, get up quickly..."

"My lord, prepare to issue a military order!"

Liu Bei insisted on kneeling and refused to get up until Liu Yu gave himself an answer.

Actually, the answer is yes.

From the very beginning, what Liu Yu thought was to use this opportunity to let his subordinates Liu Guan and Zhang Zhaoli make great contributions and take over the defense of Jicheng and the new cavalry army in one fell swoop. Transfer to a civil service post.

Therefore, this time I will definitely use the three sisters Liu Guan Zhang.

It's just that it needs a little encouragement.

Liu Yu slowly showed a smile, and used his hands to help Liu Bei who was kneeling under him: "Okay, Xuande, please..."

However, at this moment, the curtain outside the door was suddenly pulled open.

An anxious face appeared in front of him: "My lord! Gongsun Zan is secret... secret..."

He came by accident.

At this time, Liu Bei happened to kneel in front of Liu Yu and set up a military order.

Then, he saw the Lord's raised hand that seemed to be going to hold Liu Bei's...

"Letter to me."

Liu Yu stretched out his hand, stared straight at the official, and motioned him not to say anything unnecessary.

Don't even have any extra thoughts.

"Here!"

After handing over the letter, the idler hurriedly retreated.

"Xuande, get up first... let's see what Gongsun Zan has to say." Liu Yu supported Liu Bei's arm, hoping she would stop maintaining this position.

After all, our big Han clansmen have noble morals, so we can't punish those extravagant and lustful!

"...Then, will the lord agree to me?"

Liu Bei sat next to Liu Yu and asked concerned.

Liu Yu smiled calmly, and then opened the secret letter that Gongsun Zan had handed over to him, planning to see what this guy had to say first.

As indicated in the letter:

Mr. State Shepherd, Zan has recently detected a barbarian army that is about to move outside the Great Wall. The number is huge, roughly estimated to be more than [-], and the request is rejected by the Lord.

However, the food and grass are not enough, please set aside 20 shi of food and grass for military supplies.

——Gongsun Zan pays homage.

Fuck, 20 shi is outrageous.

The [-] field army has survived for two years. Do you want to go on an expedition to Rome?

"Gongsun Zan said that she will solve it, and the price is 20 shi of grain." Liu Yu smiled mockingly, and conveyed the content of the letter to Liu Bei.

"Ten thousand stones are enough to prepare!"

As if grasping some possibility, Liu Bei hastily embraced Liu Yu's arm with both hands, raised his head, and opened his bright eyes wide: "Brother Bo'an, our family is poor, so save as much as you can!"

-----------

Today's second episode will be released at about [-] o'clock in the evening, so everyone has been waiting for a long time, hehe.

Chapter 33 Let Me Enjoy the Experience

If you can save it, you can save it, Xuande, what you said is great!

In fact, Gongsun Zan's thinking is correct. A crisis has arisen, and I can solve it, so at this time, I have to wait for the price - while solving the problem, I can also maximize my own interests.

But she was wrong because the lion was too powerful to open his mouth.

It is estimated that I heard that I have earned 50 shi of grain and grass in the past six months, and I have some lemons, so the buy price is 20.

But it can only be said that she really thought too much.

If the number of enemies is large and the quality is super strong, and the purpose of this battle is not only for looting, but even wants to take down Jicheng in one fell swoop, then Liu Yu will not fight against the barbarians alone.

If you can keep Jicheng, I will give you whatever you want.

But these [-] are barbarians, and there is only a very small part of the main force. Do you think I will not be able to beat it now?

Laughing dead, not enough to eat.

"Since Xuande has this determination, I will regard you as the former general of the army in this battle."

After some words with the "provocative general method" to induce, Liu Yu also felt that he was almost done, so he ordered the general to let Liu Bei, a hero, enter the big stage of history in advance.

"Thank you, my lord!" Liu Bei has been wandering around all these years. He has a small official position and few soldiers. He has never fought such a rich battle, but he has always longed to make great achievements in his heart, so he accepted the appointment very excitedly, " A humble job, and I will definitely fulfill my mission.”

"Ah."

Liu Yu returned Liu Bei with trusting eyes, he knew that the other party would live up to his mission.

In this era when personal strength is infinitely magnified, it is no longer a myth to be a thousand horses, but now I have Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun under my command, which can be called the Shu Han All-Star starting lineup. Of course, I am not afraid of mere barbarians .

"Then my lord, are you going back to Jicheng now?"

A war is not just about to be fought, it needs to be prepared in all aspects, and then the strategic thinking is issued by the supreme command, and the army is deployed in a unified manner.

And now that the group has just finished the team building and is on their way back to the city, of course they can't set up a mobile headquarters hastily.

"According to common sense, you should go back to Jicheng to pay homage to your general first, and then call civil and military officials to discuss the expedition plan, but the situation is critical at this time..." Liu Yu rested his chin on his fist, thought carefully, and replied, "If Going back to the city now may delay the opportunity of the battle. Estimate the time, and the battle may start at this time."

"My lord, I have a plan."

Regarding this worry, Liu Bei took out the map again and made a plan for Liu Yu: "Our current convoy has exactly 300 shi of grain and grass, but most of them are human-powered carts, and they can only travel eighty or ninety miles a day. It is too late to reach the front line. It's too late. However, the Lord's Guard has more than [-] horses, and one horse can pull fifteen shi of grain, which is a total of five thousand shi of grain. We only need to get all these five thousand shi of grain within three days. Transport them to Pan County in Sanggan River Yin, and leave soldiers to guard the city. At the same time, my lord and I will gather troops from Jicheng, go into battle lightly, and quickly arrive at the battlefield to support."

Liu Bei's words caught Liu Yu's attention.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass first.

In ancient battles, fighting on the battlefield was often forced by lack of food.

If there is plenty of food and grass, and the supply line is smooth, then the dominant side will definitely not play with you.

For example, Yuan Shao, when confronting Cao Cao at Guandu, he only needs to defend Guandu and bite Cao Cao. And crash.

Now that you are fighting by yourself, you have to deeply understand the role of food.
