Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

The autumn cicadas screamed, and a leaf fell to the ground, and the ground was bleak.

Liu Yu's words made the emperor Liu Hong fall into deep thought.

This statement must be understood from three aspects. The first is that the victory or defeat of the Han and Hu wars is based on "fighting" and "eating".

The core of fighting lies in the "horse"...

The core of eating lies in the "supply line"!
Analyzing from this angle, it is impossible for today's big man to imitate the former champion Hou and completely defeat Wuhuan without a valiant cavalry.

And Wuhuan is restricted by supplies, and it is extremely difficult to swallow Youzhou!

The second point is that Wuhuan used war to support war this time when he went south.

Under the premise of losing sufficient supplies and a serious shortage of food and grass, Wuhuan must capture Zhuojun immediately, and then force Wangfeng, the prefecture of Youzhou, to surrender. This is their only chance.

But in fact...

Although the battle situation is unfavorable, at least Zhuojun is holding on for the time being.

The third point is... Liu Bei.

Even Emperor Liu Hong was extremely surprised that Yu'er placed such high hopes on this Liu Bei.

Yu'er seems to think that Liu Bei can hold on, at least... he can hold on until after the collapse of the Wuhuan people!

As Yu'er said, if he can really hold on for a month.

...When the Nanyang reinforcements rushed to help, even if it was infantry against cavalry, even in the open plains of Youzhou, the barbarians were exhausted...how could they not fight?
Thinking of this, Liu Hong's eyes narrowed.

"Your Majesty..." Xun Yu turned around and asked Liu Hong in a low voice. "Do you want to knock?"

"No!" Liu Hong waved his hand, "I have already heard the answer I wanted..."

Liu Hong also deliberately lowered his voice.

There are two purposes for coming here this time, one is to see the eldest son of the emperor, and the other is to ask him about the situation in Youzhou.

Liu Hong will not recognize Liu Yu at this moment, it is too dangerous.

You know, according to his secret investigation, before He Guiren gave birth to Liu Bian... many of his sons who died young died very strangely.

It was as if in the palace, there was always an invisible hand manipulating everything.

Before finding out about this matter, Liu Hong will not recognize Yu'er, nor will he put him in a predicament!

What's more...

Even if the current Yu'er doesn't hold the title of "Emperor's eldest son", he has done well enough...

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yu'er has done better than Liu Hong on the road of helping Han.

Ha ha…

In the court, besides eunuchs and scholar-officials, a new force is also needed.

The so-called three-legged... Only then can we stand together!
Now Yu'er's status as a "Taoist" is just right!
at this time…

Xun Yu continued to speak.

"Your Majesty... It's getting late, will Your Majesty continue to listen?"

In the room at this time, Liu Yu's voice continued, it was nothing more than some details of Hu Han's struggle for hegemony.

The so-called... After the reign of Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty rarely won a victory against the Huns, not without a victory.

Liu Bing, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, defeated the Xiongnu;

During the Battle of Tianshan, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Dou Gu used his position as the captain of Chedu and Geng Bing to attack the Xiongnu in four directions northward, and defeated King Huyan in Tianshan;

There are also Sanming in Liangzhou, who are experts in foreign wars and Duan Jiong, Zhang Huan, and Huangfugui who are outsiders in civil wars;

These great victories are all thanks to the supply of horses in Hanoi!

But in fact, it is still too little.

Not every dynasty can form a brave cavalry.

Since the rise of Xianbei, they have invaded and looted almost every year. History books often only record that in a certain year and a certain month, Xianbei invaded Youzhou, Xianbei invaded Bingzhou, etc., but there is no record of victory or defeat.

This is actually quite euphemistic...

If it is a big victory? How could it be possible not to write in "Hanshu" without thick and colorful.

Compared with occasional victories, being looted for a long time is a fact.

In the final analysis, it is still the horse, or the mobility, or the "conversion" caused by the unequal national power and combat power!

Liu Hong listened for a while, and then waved.

"Back to the palace!"

While speaking, Liu Hong turned and left.

Through the crack of the door, Xun Yu took one last look at Liu Yu, then turned his head to look at the back of the emperor, and then...followed the emperor and left.

It seems...he can understand Liu Hong's mood.

In the case of Wuhuan going south to Koubian, Brother Liu has done a good enough job.

If His Majesty does not talk to him, it means that His Majesty will completely let him go and let him do it.

only…

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Brother Liu!
On the other side, Liu Yu was still talking with Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others.

"Brother? Then you say that...you can't deal with barbarians without cavalry!"

"Let the underdogs be like this, does that... mean that we won't be able to follow the example of the former champion, drive the barbarians out of the Great Wall, and restore the demeanor of the Western Regions again?"

"Yes..." Liu Yu replied loudly, "Infantry versus cavalry, maybe... there are three ways."

At this moment, Liu Yu took a piece of silk and drew on it...

What he thought of in his mind was the Tang Dynasty's "When the Mo Dao comes out, people and horses are all broken"!
It is the sharp ax of the Yue family army that cuts the horse's legs, and it is Qi Jiguang's new type of arms "chariot"...

When mentioning Qi Jiguang, many people think of the "mandarin duck formation", which is to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

But few people know that after he wiped out the Japanese pirates, he was transferred to the north by the imperial court to fight against the Mongolian cavalry...

The most powerful thing about Qi Jiguang is that his naval battles are awesome, and he has a unique set of tactics for infantry against cavalry, basically rubbing the Mongols on the ground.

It was still early, so Liu Yu simply drew Mo Dao... a sharp ax that could cut a horse's leg, and a new type of chariot on the map, and told Cao Cao and the others eloquently.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are alright...

But Cao Cao became more energetic the more he listened. These tactics... these weapons seemed to open a whole new door for him!

Perhaps, the plains...

Against cavalry this way...

Infantry is not powerless!
...

...

Ten days later, Youzhou, Zhuojun.

The city has become more and more difficult. Being besieged for 25 days is enough to exhaust the insufficient food in Zhuojun City. In the past few days...each person still has a bite to eat every day, but in the last two days...nothing.

The good news is...Liu Bei was allowed to recruit new soldiers after visiting his clan uncle Liu Yuanqi, businessman Zhang Shiping, Su Shuanghou, and governor of Youzhou Tao Qian.

Under the propaganda of the heavenly masters and ghost soldiers, the common people joined the recruit team... After simple training, they garrisoned the city.

It's just... the biggest problem now... is food!

"call…"

At this moment, Liu Bei was standing on the tower, his eyes full of sadness.

"Brother Xuande, you haven't eaten for two days."

Zhang Fei looked at the sad expression on Liu Bei's face, and quickly persuaded him: "I have saved some for you, you eat some first, others will fall down, but Xuande, you have to hold on!"

While talking, Zhang Fei took out a vegetable cake from his arms.

This is already the rarest food in Zhuo County today.

"Ugh…"

But Liu Bei sighed: "The people and the soldiers haven't eaten for two days. I... how can I bear to eat this!"

"As long as the people are hungry, I, Liu Bei, will also be with them..."

This…

Zhang Fei scratched his head, he knew... Liu Bei had this kind of temperament.

He regards the villagers of Zhuojun as his own family... Zhang Fei knows that he cannot be persuaded!
At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly thought of something.

"Give this vegetable cake to Miss Zhang..."

"Miss Zhang has also suffered a lot during this time. It is even more difficult for her to manage so many believers and help me recruit soldiers!"

Miss Zhang naturally refers to Zhang Yulan...

Zhang Fei nodded, but in the end he still let out an "ah" and sighed, "The same is true of Guanzhu Liu, his wife is still here... But he only told Xianhe to send a letter to Xuande, and stick to ten years after what he said." Five days... from this point of view, the food will be empty, and in the end, if you can keep it, but the mother... you will starve to death!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei looked around at the defenders on the tower.

He complained again: "I'm hungry, how can I fight?"

This is out of the way...

Liu Bei was also helpless.

He has begged for countless grains from Liu Yuanqi, Liu Deran's family, from Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang, and even...Tao Qian's side, and now...it can be said that the landlord's family has no food left!

Difficult...

at this time…

"The Hu dog is coming up... It's coming up!"

Suddenly a voice came out...

Liu Bei's spirit froze, and he immediately ran towards the sound.

It turned out... because a few defenders were hungry and fainted, and they were negligent for a moment... unexpectedly, the Wuhuan people climbed up from the ladder secretly. At this time, countless Hu people had already climbed the aisle of the city wall, and found that their defenders immediately Yelling, almost... the city gate is about to be opened!

Fortunately, Liu Bei was nearby, and he rushed towards the scene of the incident with Zhang Fei madly.

Zhang Fei roared when he saw barbarians vying for the switch of the city gate from afar.

"Hugou, your grandpa Zhang is here!"

With a collision, he used a butcher's knife to split a barbarian into two pieces!
Liu Bei also opened his mouth at the right time, "Take back the city gate, otherwise... the whole family will suffer!"

Under the dusk, the darkness swept...

The panicked defenders heard Zhang Fei's voice and then Liu Bei's voice...

Inspired and encouraged by his words, I thought of the family guarding behind me, and thought... once the city gate was lost...the family would suffer!
So... someone shouted:
"Kill... Take back the city gate!"

Torch flickering...

Shaking the flames... Countless people roared, and in the narrow aisle of the city wall, the defenders and the barbarians fought together!
The martial arts skills of the barbarians are far superior to these defenders... But if one defender is cut down, the people behind them will swarm up and kill them... They get entangled with the barbarians, and more and more defenders catch up Come, they use all means to fight the enemy.

because…

They have no way out, behind them... are the family members, the elders and fellow villagers!
The bloody setting sun once again dyed the Shura field red.

What the Hu people didn't expect was that the resistance of the defenders was so brutal. This time they climbed the tower with hundreds of people. They thought...that was enough, enough to take the city gate, enough...for the army to kill Come in.

But in fact, not enough... not enough!
Countless spears, clubs, swords... dancing in the darkness!
At this moment... no one can tell clearly whether the subsequent calls for help and screams... come from the barbarians or the Han people?

finally…

The five hundred Hu people who climbed the tower were killed...

Liu Bei killed one, and Zhang Fei killed four, with blood all over his fists...

In the end, Liu Bei was relieved when the corpses of the barbarians were thrown down the city wall one by one... and all the defenders cheered deafeningly.

Finally kept it.

And this time, Liu Bei's heart is like a mirror, relying on... the rushing aid of nearby defenders.

Relying on the newly recruited militia...

call…

He took a long breath, finally... Brother Liu's letterhead is not useless, recruiting more militiamen... can indeed prevent many unknown hidden dangers.

It's just... In five more days, will the barbarians really withdraw?
Can they last another five days?
While everyone was cheering, Tao Qian, the governor of Youzhou, hurried over with new support… lighting a torch, he was long overdue.

Seeing the scene here, he let out a long breath.

He walked in front of Liu Bei, but saw that Liu Bei was also panting, with no expression on his face other than "cold"...

Especially the eyes, under the firelight, there is no slight fluctuation.

"Xuande..."

Tao Qian wanted to ask, are you okay?But... After only two words, Tao Qian took back what he wanted to say.

It seems that Liu Bei is now physically fine, but mentally he is reaching the limit...

As the governor of Youzhou, he can empathize with Liu Bei.

Because...he...he has reached his limit!

It is for this reason that recently, the defense of the entire Zhuo County was dispatched by Liu Bei, and Tao Qian's spirit was no longer enough to support him to waste his mind like this!

Can…

Who knows, how did Liu Bei get over it?

Who knows, how much energy he still has, how many more days can he last!

"Tao Inspector, please tell the generals to step up the defense of the city walls... there must be no more mistakes."

"Okay..." It was a good word, and Tao Qian's throat could hardly hide his hoarseness. He was hoarse because of excitement.

God bless, if Liu Xuande is placed in this Zhuo County, Tao Qian deserves to live!

Even... Tao Qian looked around.

He found that after Wuhuan's surprise attack this time, the entire Zhuo County... not only did not become a frightened bird, but became even more excited.

It seems that under this twilight, when the dark night is approaching... there is always a ray of light, guiding them to persevere... If you live, there is hope!
Can you survive?
Maybe... yes!

at this time.

"Magistrate Liu..." A pawn approached Liu Bei at some unknown time, "Report to County Magistrate Liu, the saint has love..."

"Saint?" Liu Bei was slightly taken aback...

This was the first time in recent times that the saint Zhang Yulan took the initiative to seek him out.

"Do you know what's going on?" Liu Bei asked again.

The ghost soldier reported truthfully: "It seems...a Taoist named Taipingdao contacted the saint, saying that they still have some food left over there!"

Well…

Liu Bei was startled.

Food... At this time, what the entire Zhuo County lacks most is food!
...

...

On the official road from Jizhou to Youzhou.

Guan Yu raised his whip and pointed forward... "Wen Chang...the front is the border of Zhuojun. We arrived here five days in advance. Zhuojun has hope."

Wei Yan didn't reply, but took out a piece of silk from his bosom without any hesitation, and slowly unfolded it.

Guan Yu didn't take it seriously, and continued: "Today, our army had better rest overnight, and tomorrow we will surprise attack Wuhuan, attacking both internally and externally... surely we will win!"

Today's Guan Yu has just made his debut... He cannot be compared with Guan Yunchang of Jingzhou at his peak in "Three Kingdoms"!
Is there a big difference between experience and experience?
But... he has always been arrogant, and he will not take mere barbarians seriously, and attacking both inside and outside... In his opinion, it is the way to win.

never thought...

Wei Yan shook his head, and he slightly lifted the silk cloth in his hand.

"Da Jijiu and General Huangfu didn't ask me to fight Wuhuan's main force!"

Guan Yu was taken aback...

"That…"

"Hehe..." Wei Yan smiled, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing many sly smiles.

However, in this smile, there is still a bit of fierceness.

"Changsheng likes to read "Spring and Autumn". Don't you know how Pang Juan died?"

This…

Guan Yu subconsciously uttered four words: "Surround Wei and save Zhao!"
