Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 557 Li Yuan's Decision

After Wenwu retreated, Li Yuan was frowning. Now he has only two ways, one is to attack Lu Bu with Cao Cao, and the other is to send troops to Hanzhong or even Yizhou alone.

However, once the Yizhou natural danger starts a war, it has to do a long-term battle, and attacking Lu Bu is also a bit hanging.

Li Yuan, who was full of sorrow, finally looked at his two sons. Li Shimin was determined to send troops to merge the state to prevent Lu Bu from dominating the Central Plains.

However, Li Jiancheng believed that the Central Plains War was a great opportunity for them to send troops to attack Hanzhong and open the door of Yizhou.

"Father, there is a rift between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and they just took this opportunity to win Hanzhong, and may even enter Yizhou."

"No, father, Yizhou seems to be in chaos. That's because there is no external force. Once we send troops, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei will definitely unite. The natural dangers in the middle of Shu are obvious to all."

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have their own opinions, Li Yuan is also a big headache, the temptation of Yizhou is indeed not small, he is not willing to give up, but if Yizhou does not have that, he does not want to see it after Lu Bu grows up .

Difficult Li Yuan finally supported his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "It's better to attack on two fronts. Jiancheng leads troops to raid Hanzhong, and Shimin sends troops to merge the state."

These words obviously wanted to take advantage of both sides, but they didn't realize their own strength. Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng shook their heads and disapproved of such a move.

Looking at his undecided father, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Father, our secret soldiers are all waiting to send troops. If we break our promise with Cao Cao here, how will the people of the world treat me, Li Tangyi?"

Seeing that Li Shimin was determined to send troops to Bingzhou, Li Jiancheng was also in a hurry. It was a difficult question to choose. Finally, he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Father, Lu Bu in Hebei has a strong army, and Bingzhou has a general Gao Shun guarding it, while Liu Bei in Hanzhong But living in Yizhou, it is a great time."

"Father, our Li family is a well-known family in Jinyang, and it is the best choice to enter the state, not to mention that Lu Bu and our Li Tang are deadly enemies."

Li Shimin very treacherously brought up the Jinyang matter, suddenly Li Yuan's face changed, his face was gloomy, Li Jiancheng knew it was bad after seeing it, and his younger brother won again.

In the first battle of Jinyang, their Li family fled in a desperate situation. This is definitely an indelible stain on Li Yuan.

Sure enough, Li Yuan had a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "There is no war in Guanzhong. Father Shimin gave you [-] soldiers and horses, so you have the confidence to take Bingzhou!"

After Li Shimin heard this, he clasped his fists excitedly, and shouted with firmness, "Whether Bingzhou can go down depends on how long Cao Cao can last, but Bingzhou Gaoshun is in charge of Bingzhou's frontier generation, and he will do his best to surprise Bingzhou's ministers! "

Annoyed Li Jiancheng saw that his younger brother was about to go to war again, and couldn't help feeling anxious. What is most important in troubled times is not how powerful you are, but how many soldiers you have under your command.

He himself has been developing in the field of civil servants. At this time of troubled times, he has gradually realized the importance of military power, so he has been trying to establish prestige in the army for the past few years.

"Father~"

Before Li Jiancheng could finish speaking, Li Yuan waved his hand and interrupted him, only to see Li Yuan said in a deep voice with a sullen expression: "Hanzhong is empty, father King Jiancheng will send you [-] soldiers and horses this time, it depends on who goes first between you and others." Open up."

"Pujin and Yangping Pass will go first, and Gu will do his best!"

Li Yuan is also putting all his eggs in one basket at this time, this is his first large-scale war since he became king.

After seeing Li Yuan's decision, both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin felt a little unwilling. It would be great if nearly 20 soldiers joined forces.

But both of them knew clearly that this was impossible, the temptation of Hanzhong and Bingzhou was too great for Li Yuan to choose.

Of course, Li Yuan would not know the disadvantages of dividing troops. There is no simple person who can be called a king. This move is not only to balance the forces in the army, but also has his own plans.

After watching his two sons retreat, Li Yuan heaved a long sigh of relief, his face showed fatigue, how could he not see the struggle between the eldest son and the second son in recent years.

Only by balancing the two sons can his position be more stable, and the seemingly mindless two-front battle actually has its reasons.

Because no matter where the troops are dispatched, meritorious service can only be achieved by surprise attacks, so he will use all the troops in the pass to attack the route that wins first.

At most, it is nothing more than wasting some food. Although it is precious, it is better than making it bigger with one child.

Right or wrong, only after success can comment!

Hanzhong and Chang'an had many Qinling Mountains, and the roads were difficult. At this time, Liu Bei devoted himself to Yizhou, so he was less vigilant about Li Tang.

But in contrast, the soldiers and horses who were ready to send troops to Bingzhou from the beginning would arrive in almost ten days, while the soldiers and horses targeting Hanzhong would still be discovered no matter how concealed they were.

This time Li Jiancheng also went all out, and led [-] elites to go straight to Yangping Pass, just to be caught off guard. As long as Yangping Pass is won, you will have a strong city in Hanzhong, and Liu Bei's main force can be in Yizhou thousands of miles away.

And Li Shimin also hurried back to the barracks, preparing for the war against Bingzhou.

Wu Wang Lu Bu led more than 25 elites from four prefectures in Hebei. After five days of training in Baima, he marched southward and marched into Yangwu.

Yangwu is close to Guandu, and as long as Guandu is captured, they can go straight to Xuchang. It seems that Lv Bu's army is powerful, but in fact, this is not Cao Cao's intention.

With Guandu and Xuchang at such a close distance, the frontline of the food road was obviously shortened, which played a key role in the shortage of food and grass.

However, Lu Bu's battle line was getting longer and longer. 25 soldiers were stationed in Yangwu. The two armies were facing each other far away, but Lu Bu was not in a hurry. Send troops.

The two armies are facing each other, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat horses and eat a lot of food and grass every day, and these tens of thousands of people have nothing to do with production.

Yang Wu!

Lu Bu in the handsome tent looked at the battle report in his hand and muttered a name at the corner of his mouth, while Guo Jia below was a little curious about how this person would make their king curious.

"My lord, it's true that Nian Gengyao, the general who led the army in Xuzhou this time, is Cao Cao's confidant and favorite general."

The more he talked about Lu Bu's expression, the more strange it became. Guo Jia rubbed the back of his head, a little confused, but he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, although this person's reputation is not obvious, his ability is definitely not inferior. Later, when Cao Cao fought Yuan Shu, this man led the army with more unique skills."

Listening to Guo Jia talking about this man's military exploits with a serious expression, how could Lu Bu not know that this was the intention of his subordinates, and was afraid of his arrogance.

Those who can leave a name in history definitely have his extraordinary capital. Don't look at what the later Qing palace dramas say, but Nian Gengyao in history, as a Han, not only became Yongzheng's confidant, but also held military power.

military power!During the Qing Dynasty, this was almost the right of the Manchus. How could the Han people have this right, but later generations have beautified the status of the Han people during the Qing Dynasty.

As a Han Chinese, Nian Gengyao must not be underestimated as being able to hold a heavy army.
