The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 36
After Liu Bei sent Xun Chen to sleep, he turned around and continued to discuss with Lin Chao, Tian Feng, Guan Yu and others the specific marching route of the Northern Expedition.

It was the first time to lead an army of tens of thousands of people, even Liu Bei was a little nervous, and he couldn't help but think a little more.

"Can Zichu understand military strategy?" Liu Bei asked.

Since following Liu Bei, Lin Chao's methods have been extremely flexible, whether it is government affairs, politics or planning, they have all been quite effective.

But marching and fighting are different. This is a profession that requires a lot of talent.

It doesn't mean that you have read a lot of books and are smart enough to be competent.

On the contrary, in ancient times, those who were able to recruit good fighters were mostly self-taught.

Wu An Jun Bai Qi has been fighting every year since he joined the army. I have never heard of how many military books he has read and how hardworking he is, but he brutally kills people.

On the other hand, his opponent, Zhao Kuo, who has read a lot of poetry and books, ended up with a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Look at Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin. When he was young, he had to rely on an old woman to support him. How could he have the money to buy books.But after being worshiped as a great general, he was victorious in every battle, and finally became the name of the soldier fairy.

The champion Hou Huo Qubing, joined the army, and fought until he died of illness at the age of 24. He spent most of his time on horseback, and he had no time to read any books, but Feng Lang Juxu left his name through the ages.

Liu Bei obviously understood this truth, so he asked this question.

So is Lin Chao the material? He thinks he is definitely not a military genius.

However, relying on the accumulated knowledge system of 2000 years more than the current world, as long as you fight steadily and do not encounter the world's first-class generals, the possibility of a big defeat is unlikely.

"Going back to Duke Xuande, although the court doesn't know military strategy, but he has read military books since he was a child, and he is willing to fight with Duke Xuande on the battlefield."

Seeing what Lin Chao said, Liu Bei nodded.

It is not easy for Zichu to be able to read military books thoroughly, and he has never been on the battlefield before, so naturally he does not understand military strategy, and he asked the wrong question.

"Since this is the case, a certain person will worship Zichu to supervise the army, and Yuan Hao will be the master, and participate in all affairs."

"only!"

Lin Chao and Tian Feng stood up and bowed their heads in salute.

The position of supervising the army at the end of the Han Dynasty was not like sending an eunuch to check and balance military power as in later generations, but it was a real power.

The so-called supervisor of the army was the first to replace the emperor to supervise the military affairs of the armies.

In other words, if troops are to be mobilized, the person sent by the emperor to command the troops will have the nature of supervising the troops.

For example, a few years ago, Lu Zhi was ordered to hold festivals and lead the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army to fight against the Yellow Turbans. Lu Zhi is in the nature of supervising the army.

Here, Liu Bei named Lin Chao as the supervisor of the army, which can be said to have given him great power and trust. This means that when he is not around, Lin Chao can decide everything about the army with one word.

And Tian Feng's master book can be regarded as the chief executive in charge of money and food, logistics, military resources, and equipment in the army, and also has the power to make suggestions in combat.

In the end, Liu Bei vetoed Lin Chao's proposal to keep some troops in Zhending City.

In his view, there are not many troops under his command, and it is not easy to divide the troops.

As for the territory, as long as Zhang Chun is wiped out, is it afraid that there will be no territory?
If they are defeated, they may not be able to secure the territory if they are really determined.

Instead of looking forward and backward, it is better to break the boat and fight hard!
This was the first time Liu Bei vetoed Lin Chao's proposal, but Lin Chao was not unhappy at all.

Lin Chao was reluctant to part with Zhending City, but Liu Bei gave up resolutely and devoted himself to suppressing the thieves. His courage moved Lin Chao.

It has to be said that some people are born with leadership skills.

"That's fine, if you leave some soldiers and horses in Zhending, I'm afraid Liu Shijun won't be at ease." Tian Feng said, "Now my lord is the magistrate of Hanchang County, Zhending City is optional."

Speaking of this, Lin Chao smiled: "When it comes to reassuring Shijun, Chao still has a slight idea."

"Oh, what's Zichu's opinion?"

Liu Bei couldn't help asking when he saw that Lin Chao's smile was not right.

Lin Chao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, with words written all over it.

After receiving it, Liu Bei looked at the content above, and suddenly smiled wryly. He raised his head and said to Lin Chao, "Zi Chu, what is the meaning of this? If Xun You has the ability to be worthy of Zi Chu's treatment like this?"

"Mr. Xuande doesn't know something, so how can the court do it for a Xun Youruo?" Lin Chao said with a smile, "If it works, Duke Xuande will gain a great talent. If it doesn't work, it can also dispel the envoy's worries, and at the same time make this person a contact person." Isn't the bridge of the Xun family in Yingchuan beautiful?"

"Zi Chu's words are reasonable." Liu Bei also smiled, "Then send someone to report to the envoy overnight, and just wait for the reply."

……

Xun Chen stayed in Zhending City for a few days, and finally felt relieved when he found out that Liu Bei and others were really preparing for the expedition.

At the same time, Lin Chao was not idle, and spread the news that the envoy had sent someone to inspect Zhending. After all, Xun Chen did not hide his tracks when he entered the city that day.

Ever since, everyone with some influence in Zhending City came to visit Xun Chen, and there was a crowd of people in the city, bustling like chickens and ducks returning to their nests.

Xun Chen was disturbed to the extreme, but he could only receive him warmly.

After all, he is going on a mission on behalf of Liu Yan this time, and every move he makes will be over-interpreted by interested people, so he has to be cautious.

After these people visited Xun Chen, they invited Xun Chen to the house for a banquet another day.

After eating and drinking, he turned Xun Chen, a handsome young man, into a drunk.

On the fifth day, Liu Bei sent someone to wake up the hangover Xun Chen.Only then did he know that the preparations had been completed, and today was the day Liu Bei led his army to set off.

So Xun Chen rubbed his eyes, and the servant washed his face with a basin of water.After carefully arranging his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, he strode out.

The most eloquent contestant, Xun Chen has always kept his temperament tight, lest people find a breakthrough in his dress and manners when the debate is open.

When I arrived at the school grounds, I found that Liu Bei was dressed in military uniform today, with a majesty that Xun Chen had never seen before.

On the left, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lin Xi, Dian Wei, Liu Shi and others are all dressed in armor and are ready to fight.

Lin Chao, Jian Yong and Tian Feng on the right also put on light armor.

"This thief, Zhang Chun, has been greatly favored by the country, but he doesn't seem to repay him. He rebelled against the imperial court, caused harm to the village, and slaughtered innocent people. His heart can be punished, and his crime can be punished!"

Liu Bei's pre-war mobilization speech was passionate and generous, and the soldiers in the audience were also infected by his emotions.

"Fortunately, today there is an envoy who clearly observed, and ordered a certain army to punish the thieves, so as to rectify the court's laws." Liu Bei's speech reached its climax, "This time the army is marching to fight against the thieves, to obey and punish the rebellious, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly to a war. Punish rebellion!"

"Listen to the order, all the generals, whoever kills one thief in this battle will be rewarded with a thousand coins. Whoever kills the leader of the bandit army will be rewarded with one hundred thousand coins. Whoever wins the head of a thief will be reported to the imperial court, rewarded with a thousand gold, and sealed as a marquis of ten thousand households!"

If the soldiers were infected by Liu Bei's inspiration just now, now that the reward conditions are out, the infected emotions of these soldiers reached a boil in an instant!
"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

……

The voices of nearly ten thousand soldiers were higher and higher one after another, one after another, in an endless stream.

Seeing the high morale, Liu Bei was overjoyed and shouted, "Let's go!"

The first to set off was the five hundred cavalry led by Zhang Fei, as a way to explore.After that, the two thousand elites led by Guan Yu served as the vanguard, and finally Liu Bei's central army came.

"I wish Duke Xuande the victory in flying the flag, and make great achievements!"

Xun Chen cupped his hands and said with a smile, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Liu Bei is gone, his mission has been completed, and he can go back and return.

Although there were twists and turns this time, it finally lived up to the entrustment of the envoy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chao greeted him with a smile, and also cupped his hands and said: "You are welcome, sir. If you can make great achievements, you must have your share."

"Er..." Xun Chen was taken aback, "What does Mr. Lin mean by that?"

Lin Chao unhurriedly took out a letter, and specially showed Xun Chen the corner with Liu Yan's seal on it, and said with a smile: "The envoy has an order, if Xun You follows the army to hunt for thieves in governance, to see Effectiveness."

Xun Chen was stunned, staring blankly at the letter in Lin Chao's hand...

Immediately afterwards, Dian Wei's hearty laughter came from over there.

"Since we are going to go on an expedition, how can we have no horses. One morning, we prepared a good horse for Mr. Xun, please get on the horse!"

Tian Feng glanced at the dazed Xun Chen, shook his head and sighed, his eyes were full of pity.
