"Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang!" In the Lujiang mansion, Lu Bu was about to go crazy. His only two descendants, his precious daughter, didn't let him worry about it. The battle of Shouchun was like that, and he dared to go to the battlefield. Lu Qiling is a road idiot, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Originally, this woman was worried, and a son-in-law could take care of her, but who knew that this son-in-law was even more worried than his precious daughter, and he was going to go directly to Jingzhou. Didn't he know that going to Jingzhou was equivalent to being a Proton! When he got there, his personal safety was completely insecure, why was he so impulsive. "Why was I so blind to choose such a son-in-law!" Lu Bu said all angry words now, the deeper the love son, the more he hates him.
"My lord, you don't have to worry too much. As long as our Lu Bu army exists for a day, Liu Biao of Jingzhou will not dare to touch Han Yang!" Although Chen Gong was comforting Lu Bu, in fact, he was no more worried than Lu Bu. Gao, but what can be done? Yangzhou is in dire straits and there is not much food and grass left. If this continues, not only Yangzhou will be ruined, but Lujiang will also be in trouble. At that time, we will really enter a dead end, Liu Mang Although this trip puts itself in danger, it is the only way for the entire Lu Bu army. Which of the surrounding princes is willing to sell grain and grass, and which one can sell a lot of grain? Liu Biao from Jingzhou, even if Cao Cao from Xudu sells grain and grass, it will take time to transport it. Like the Yuan brothers, he can only transport it from Hebei, because now Cao Cao's grain and grass are all seized from Hebei. The nearest is Jingzhou. If there is water transportation, it can be delivered within two days.
"Hey!" Lu Bu could only sigh. Liu Mang thought that he, Lu Bu, would not know. Although all this happened because of the conscription order, there was no fault of Lu Bu in it, yes! He is a majestic lord, but he failed to solve this problem. However, he put his son-in-law in danger, and Lu Bu was also very depressed. Although Lu Bu was worried about Liu Mang, he also knew that as long as Lu Bu's army was stronger, then Liu Biao would respect Liu Mang. Liu Mang's safety will be guaranteed more and more.
"Where did Han Yang's white horse go from Yi?" Lu Bu asked after walking to the map behind the hall.
"According to the time, we have already reached the first generation of Guangzhou!" Chen Gong pointed to Guangzhou on the map and said to Lu Bu. Liu Mang's white horse Congyi has 3,000 people but 6,000 horses, so the journey is extremely fast. When Chen Gong got the news, he had already left.
"Gwangju, Gwangju! Gongtai, help me hurry up and join the wolf riders in Bingzhou! I want to go together!"
"My lord, you?!" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and asked in confusion.
Lu Bu grinned at Chen Gong and said, "I won't be able to accompany him during the trip to Jingzhou. How can I get rid of Liu Da'er without the Bingzhou Wolf Rider!" The two kept fighting, and when they arrived in Xuzhou and then Yangzhou, Liu Bei seemed to be haunted, and the two sides could be regarded as winning and losing each other. Lu Bu was suppressed and beaten by the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang in Hulao Pass. Later, Lu Bu avenged Liu Bei's Xuzhou in Xuzhou, but then Xuzhou was taken back by Liu Bei with Lao Cao. In the Battle of Yangzhou, Liu Bei ambushed Bingzhou Wolf Riders and killed nearly half of the Bingzhou Wolf Riders. Lu Bu stayed behind, and then Lu Bu fought back. In the joint battle of Taishan Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the three armies, Liu Bei swallowed the white-eared heavy armor, and even sent the general Chen Dao to hell. Now Liu Bei has killed the envoy of Lu Bu's army, and the war is about to begin again.
…
"Ge Jun, Zhang Hu, what do you two think!" Zhang Liao's army, who was going to Linhuai generation, stopped. The three armies did not move, and the food and grass went first. Zhang Liao's Xiliang iron cavalry stopped. This made the transportation of food and grass a step slower, and the army could not move forward without food and grass, so Zhang Liao stopped.
What Zhang Liao showed Ge Jun and Zhang Hu was the letter from Shouchun, and what was written on it was to inform Shouchun of the situation these days.
"General!" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun looked at each other, and both of them saw a kind of surprise in their eyes, yes, surprise, because it was written in the letter that the lord Liu Mang personally went to Jingzhou to discuss the matter of grain and grass. One is that Liu Beijun killed the envoy and the protagonist Liu Wei took three thousand white horses and set off from righteousness to Yuzhou.
Both of these are major events, the Lord of a state going to Jingzhou? Isn't this a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? The second is that the three thousand white horses have gone to Nanyang from Yiyi. If Xiliang cavalry needs reorganization, then these three thousand white horses have just formed an army from Yiyi. How can such soldiers and horses fight.
They are Xiliang iron cavalry. Although they have left Nanyang, they still know the strength of the remaining Xiliang iron cavalry in Nanyang. Although Hu Che'er is a Qiang, he has to say that he is very good at leading troops, especially cavalry Yes, three thousand light cavalry against eight thousand heavy cavalry! There is no chance of imagining.
"General, let's go back to the army!" Zhang Hu was the first to express his opinion, which was also Ge Jun's opinion. The two have worked with each other for a long time, so they naturally know what each thinks." The lord wants to conquer Nanyang The three thousand white horses are elite, but they are not Hu'er's opponent. Even if the city management army is added, it is evenly matched. In Nanyang County, there are not only eight thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, but also thirty thousand steps Soldier! My lord's troops are bound to be weak. If I return to the army with the help of the black chess army and Xiliang iron cavalry, my lord will be able to take Nanyang!" What Zhang Hu said meant that Liu Mang's troops were small and it would be difficult to win In Nanyang, it may even be a disastrous defeat. The reason for the entanglement is the lack of troops. In Shouchun, Baima Congyi and the urban management army only have 8,000 people. How can they take down Nanyang's nearly 40,000 people! So returning to the army now means concentrating our troops and adding the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Black Chess Army to compete with Nanyang Liu Bei.
"Return to the army?!" Zhang Liao looked at the two generals under his command, with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is really in decline. It's no wonder that short-sightedness is not a good general. It's just two ordinary generals. It's okay to let them perform tasks, but it's really not good if you let them think about strategy and tactics, but such generals are also good, at least they are obedient! So although Zhang Liao dismissed it, he still kept it in his heart. He asked these two people just to brainstorm.
"We can't go back to the army!" Zhang Liao rejected the proposal of the two without hesitation.
Not only can we not return to the army, but we should also take down Linhuai quickly, on the way! "Zhang Liao said to his two generals.
"What?!" Ge Jun and Zhang Hu were stunned, "General. If we don't return to the army, then the lord will be defeated in Nanyang!" Three thousand to forty thousand, even if you think about it with your toes, you know it's impossible, and it's still an away game. If Liu Mang's army is as elite as possible, it is still possible to fight Liu Bei.
"If you lose, you lose!" Zhang Liao said indifferently.
"Huh?!" If Ge Jun and Zhang Hu hadn't known that Zhang Liao was the old man of Lv Bujun, they would have thought that Zhang Liao was about to rebel. What do you mean by defeat? This is not something a general should say.
Zhang Liao really thought so. He didn't know what the young master Liu Mang wanted to do, to provoke Liu Bei's 40,000 troops with 3,000 light cavalry, but he knew that Liu Mang must have his reasons for doing so. If not, it should have been pointed out by Xu Shu and Liu Ye in Shouchun long ago, instead of a general like him. He, a general, can see it, but those scribes can't see it.
"You will receive the news of Shouchun's return to the army!" Zhang Liao said immediately after seeing the two men, still feeling unwilling.
"Return to the army order!?" There was really no such thing. Ge Jun and Zhang Hu shook their heads in unison. This letter only told Shouchun two things. No news of returning to the army was mentioned.
"The two of you are considered old men in the army. If you don't follow the military order and transfer without authorization, do you know the punishment of the military law?" Zhang Liao looked at them coldly. It's a direct hindrance, but if these two disobey the military order, then Zhang Liao is still willing to kill the two Xiliang barbarians.
After being said by Zhang Liao, coupled with Zhang Liao's cold eyes. The two gasped suddenly, the murderous intent revealed in Liao's eyes was real, and if the two had the intention to return to the army, they might really turn into two good heads.
Zhang Hu and Ge Jun smiled wryly. They naturally knew that their chief general had a very bad impression of Xiliang cavalry. It's no wonder that it's a ghost to have a good impression after my only relative died in the hands of Xiliang cavalry! But they weren't the ones who killed Zhang Fan. Zhang Hu and Gu Jun belonged to the kind of people who were blamed.
However, these two dare not not listen to Zhang Liao's words. They have completely put their capital in Yangzhou now. The family members are all in Yangzhou, so they don't dare to play tricks, they can only listen to orders. Fortunately, Zhang Liao is famous for being able to fight, so these two people are also very lucky that they still have no military exploits behind Zhang Liao Stand up!
"General, the rations of our army!" Baima Congyi originally came here as a rear army and delivered food and grass, but now the Xiliang iron cavalry didn't have much food and grass.
How can we fight without food.
"We can't fight without rations!" Zhang Liao pointed to the map, "We don't have rations, but here, here!" Zhang Liao pointed to the area on the way to Linhuai, where there were two counties and twelve counties. The two counties and twelve counties are not too dilapidated because they rely on Jiangdong! With the land of these two counties, it is enough to feed tens of thousands of troops. But the premise needs to be won quickly.
"How long can the army's food and grass last?!" Zhang Liao asked Zhang Hu who was on the side. Zhang Hu was mainly responsible for the food and grass.
"General, if you use it carefully, you can last for three days!" Zhang Hu's careful use is to make everyone hungry and can only fill their stomachs.
"Okay! Distribute all the food and grass, start cooking, and cook the rest of the day's rations! Let the soldiers eat their stomachs!"
"Here, general? Send it all out, what will happen in the future?!" The food and grass in the army are still brought when they leave, and the follow-up has not arrived. They should have saved food, so how can they be distributed directly.
"The day after tomorrow? Let's eat in Linhuai city!" Zhang Liao stared at the city of Linhuai on the map. In one day, Zhang Liao had to give himself one day to take down Linhuai. It is completely safe to take the food and grass of the Linhuai army, and you can send some back to Shouchun. If you can't take it for a day, then there is no need for Zhang Liao to think about it. He will die in Linhuai as if he died in battle.
"Why didn't the general attack on the way first?" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun knew that they couldn't stop Zhang Liao's decision, but what they were puzzled was that Zhang Liao didn't attack the near way, but chose a far away Linhuai. Chengde is almost twice the distance on the way.
"You all go down and get ready!" On the way is the closest city to Chengde, but Zhang Liao didn't attack on the way. Shouchun's army moved. Zhang Liao didn't believe that there was no response on the way. They must have discovered the action of Liu Mang's army, so The road now should be heavily guarded, and the attack must be a fortified battle. Zhang Liao is not afraid of fighting a tough battle, but you have to know that Zhang Liao has insufficient food and grass. Fighting, after attacking Linhuai on the way, there was a jet lag. On the way, the defenders knew that Liu Mang's army was coming, so they decided to block the city gate and prepare for battle! And this Linhuai is not so fast, the city gate will be closed only when the defenders on the way send someone to notify, and as long as the Xiliang iron cavalry is faster than the defenders on the way to deliver the letter, then Linhuai can be taken by surprise city.
