Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 272 The Third Battalion Sends Troops, Zheng Ping Fools Xu You

not far away.

Zhou Yu rode his horse with his sword and stood on Potou.

As far as the eye could see, the Baipao Battalion was already withdrawing from the battlefield, while the soldiers of Zhang He and Han Meng were fighting more and more fiercely.

Both Zhang Xi and Han Meng believed that the other party did it on purpose.

No one would bow their heads when they got angry.

"Yuan Shao has too many private soldiers."

"The generals of each army support their own self-respect, and it is difficult to give orders."

"It's the same for Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, and it's also the same for Han Meng and Zhang Yun."

This time, Zhou Yu was betting on Han Meng and Zhang Yun.

The bet is that Han Meng and Zhang Yun will have a misunderstanding because of the fight for merit, and then they will be angry at each other for killing their own soldiers.

Zhou Yu was right!
Although Zhang He had no idea of ​​fighting for merit, Guo Tu, the supervisor of Zhang He, wanted to claim merit.

This melee strategy is too targeted and difficult to reproduce.

One of the important key points is that all the generals served Yuan Shao with private soldiers.

If the Sixth Battalion of Qingzhou dared to fight for merit like this, both the chief and deputy generals would have to be held accountable.

Except for Sun Jian's broken army battalion of the Qingzhou Sixth Battalion, the other five battalions cannot be called private soldiers.

Even if Qu Yi used to be the first to enter the camp, now it has been changed to the first to enter the camp infantry, which cannot be regarded as a part of the private army.

The number of soldiers is not uniform, which is the biggest weakness of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.

Beside Zhou Yu, Gongsun Xu, who was in charge of escorting the supplies, was full of horror.

Following Gongsun Zan in the army for many years, Gongsun Xu asked himself that he has never encountered a battlefield where his own people fight against his own people like today.

If someone mentioned this kind of battlefield to Gongsun Xu before, Gongsun Xu would definitely scoff at it.

How can there be a situation where one's own people will beat one's own people!
But now, Gongsun Xu saw Han Meng's Hucheng soldiers and Zhang Yun's Nanpi soldiers with his own eyes, and was led to this crossing by Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, and then began a scuffle.

Gongsun Xu couldn't understand, it was obviously Han Meng and Zhang Yun who surrounded Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, how did it turn into a scuffle between Han Meng and Zhang Yun?
"If father is a strategist like Zhou Lang, how can he be defeated by Yuan Shao?" Gongsun Xu looked at Zhou Yu with a little more admiration.

Thinking of Gongsun Zan who was still in Yijing City, Gongsun Xu felt a little more lonely.

Originally, Gongsun Xu wanted to go to Montenegro to rescue soldiers, but he was chased by Han Meng, and he never had a chance to deliver a letter to Montenegro.

After a long time, Gongsun Xu gradually understood.

Gongsun Zan didn't even think that Gongsun Xu could move soldiers from Montenegro, it was just to trick Gongsun Xu into Qingzhou.

"I don't know if my father can get out of trouble in Yi Jingcheng." Gongsun Xu looked in the direction of Yi Jingcheng, quite worried.

Soon.

Zhao Yun and Sun Ce left the battlefield with the rest of the white-robed battalion cavalry.

Although Zhang He and Han Meng had successfully caused a scuffle, the soldiers of the White Robe Battalion were also injured a lot.

It was too late to be sad, Zhou Yu immediately proposed to abandon the food and grass, and each person only brought three days' rations.

Only by arriving at Leling City in the shortest possible time is the real escape.

As Zhou Yu expected, Sun Jian indeed deployed a large number of spies in Nanpi.

The information that Zhao Yun failed to capture the city and was hunted down by Zhang He was rushed back to Leling City.

This information made Sun Jian very confused: "Why did General Zhao go to capture Nanpi City? They only have [-] riders. Do they still want to take down Nanpi City?"

Sun Jian, who couldn't figure it out, immediately sent someone to invite Guan Yudian, Wei Zhanghong, and Chen Deng to the commander's account to discuss.

Zhang Hong immediately asserted: "General Zhao captured Nanpi City not because he wanted to attack Nanpi City, but because he was sending a signal to General Sun for help."

"It's not too late! General Sun, immediately send troops to Nanpi to meet General Zhao!"

Chen Deng also said: "Brother Zigang's words are true! But it's not enough for General Sun to send troops. He will show the banners of breaking the barracks, first ascending the camp, and sharpening the soldiers' camp."

"After accepting the White Robe Battalion, immediately guide the soldiers to Picheng!"

"The momentum must be big, the bigger the better!"

"Only if our momentum is strong enough, Yuan Shao will increase his troops to Nanpi City."

Guan Yu said awe-inspiringly, "Yuanlong, could this be the time for you to talk to Zigang? Is this the deployment of the conspiracy?"

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Xianmou asked Junhou to go to Leling City first, and Dian Wei to pretend to be General Yide and lead the elite camp to Leling City. Raising the flag is not a bluff!"

"There is no conclusion about the plan of falsehood and reality."

"Whether it is false or real, it will change with the change of the purpose of the conspiracy."

Sun Jian was startled when he heard that, "Mr. Xianmou had predicted that the White Robe Camp would go the way of Nanpi?"

Chen Deng nodded: "I guessed what Xianmou was thinking when I learned that Xianmou named Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to go to Yijing City."

"General Zhao is cautious and will not take risks easily. If only General Zhao is there, the most likely route for the White Robe Camp is to go along the coast and avoid such a military city as Nanpi as much as possible."

"But with Zhou Yu and Sun Ce here, the situation is different."

"If they were being chased all the way, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce might not be able to bear it."

"With Zhou Yu's intelligence, he will definitely try to create a disturbance in Nanpi and attract General Sun to send troops."

"In this way, the Baipao Battalion can not only successfully get out of trouble, but also counterattack Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses to vent their hatred."

Sun Jian thought about Sun Ce's personality, and it was indeed as Chen Deng said, he was not someone who could be easily tolerated.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xianmou, Jier and Ayu to know each other so well." Sun Jian couldn't help but marvel: "What if Ayu didn't go the way of Nanpi? Or, what if Ayu's plan failed? Does Mr. Xianmou trust Ayu so much?"

Chen Deng chuckled: "On this battlefield, anything can happen, and General Sun's guess is not unreasonable."

"Of course, what Xianmou is best at is planning the overall situation. If the White Robe Battalion fails to take the route of Nanpi within the expected time, then we will directly get the military order to attack Nanpi."

"In other words, since Baipaoying went to Yijing City, it has nothing to do with Xianmou's follow-up deployment."

"Zhou Yu didn't take this path, or if he took this path and failed again, it will only affect Zhou Yu's future!"

"General Sun, congratulations on having two good juniors. After this battle, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will definitely gain the respect of the envoy, and their careers will flourish in the future, and others will be envious of them."

Only Zhou Yu's future is affected.

When Chen Deng said this, the doubts in Sun Jian's heart disappeared.

Whether Zhou Yu leaves Nanpi or not will not affect Zheng Ping's overall strategic deployment, but it will affect whether Zhou Yu will be valued by Liu Bei in the future.

Among the marching military divisions in the Qingzhou Sixth Battalion, only Zhou Yu has not yet reached the championship.

Zhou Yu was more or less unconvincing as the military adviser.

But this time, Zhou Yu successfully guessed part of Zheng Ping's deployment in Leling City. Not only was he able to get out of trouble, but he also gave the third battalion of Leling City a reason to attack Nanpi.

As a military strategist, Zhou Yu's performance is far better than ordinary people.

Soon, the Po Barracks, Xiandeng Camp, and Ruishi Camp raised their banners, and went straight to Nanpi City with great momentum.

Knowing that the Qingzhou Third Battalion had dispatched troops, Zhang Yun was so shocked that he retreated to Nanpi City, and dispatched a courier eight hundred miles to Zhuocheng.

It's no wonder Zhang He panicked, Zhang He only had [-] troops in Nanpi City.

Most of Yuan Shao's mobile troops were still in a decisive battle with Gongsun Zan, and Han Meng, who could be cited as reinforcements, didn't want to talk to Zhang Yun at all because of the melee.

And the third battalion of Qingzhou sent troops this time:

Sun Jian, the leader of the Pojun camp, was the most skilled general under Yuan Shu in the past. His record can be discussed from the first year of Xiping when he conquered Xuchang, a native of Kuaiji. He has made great achievements in the battlefield for more than 20 years.

Guan Yu, the leader of the battalion first, was a direct disciple of Lu Zhi, a good general of the Han Dynasty. He defeated the Yellow Turban, defeated Dong Zhuo, defeated Cao Cao, and defeated Yuan Shu. He can be called the number one general under Liu Bei's command.

Although Zhang Fei of the Ruishi Battalion is not as strong as Sun Jian and Guan Yu, as the leader of the Ruishi Battalion first established in Qingzhou, Zhang Fei's prestige should not be underestimated.

Once these three battalions were released, even if Zhang Yun was one of the newly promoted Hebei Four Courts, and Nanpi had Guo Tu as his conspirator, he would not dare to be negligent.

In terms of military strength, Zhang He only had [-] soldiers.

In terms of generals, regardless of whether the lieutenants of the three battalions are brave men, Sun Jian, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei alone are not comparable to Zhang He's troops in Nanpi.

Although this Zhang Fei was faked by Dian Wei, compared to the real Zhang Fei, this fake Zhang Fei killed more crazily on the battlefield!
Talking about counselors again, although Guo Tu claimed to be the No. 1 counselor under Yuan Shao's command, Zhang Xi would not be so stupid as to think that the Qingzhou Third Battalion had no resourceful men who could fight against Guo Tu.

They were all put together by the counselors in Zhao Yun's army, and they claimed to be the No. 1 counselor under Yuan Shao's command.

Zhang He felt guilty, and Guo Tu also felt guilty.

If Zhang Yun hadn't closed the four doors tightly to prevent anyone from leaving the city, Guo Tu would have wanted to run away.

The mouth of the Bohai Sea.

The merchant ships of Qingzhou salt merchants are moored in shallow water.

Sacks of salt were offloaded to buyers for inventory.

These are the buyers introduced by Xu Yi.

And in the tent on the shore, Xu You was sitting at the same table with Zheng Ping.

From the first time he saw Zheng Ping, Xu You had a strange sense of familiarity with Zheng Ping.

However, when Zheng Ping went north this time, whenever he met people outside, he would disguise himself. Although Xu You had a sense of familiarity, it was difficult to distinguish Zheng Ping's true identity.

Zheng Ping, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic. He poured wine for Xu You while making friends: "I have heard for a long time that the prefect Xu is from Nanyang, who is from the Xu family in Qingzhou. Because of Wang Mang's usurpation of power 200 years ago, he also migrated from Nanyang to Qingzhou."

"Maybe the ancestors of the two families have some connections."

"It's my honor to be able to drink at the same table with Xu Taishou today."

Zheng Ping's friendly words made Xu You less wary.

A bottle of fairy brewed into the throat, the mellow aroma goes straight to the lungs.

After probing for a while, Xu You gradually believed in Zheng Ping's identity, and when he got down to business, he said, "Patriarch Xu, why do you have to order to avoid death?"

"Do you not trust the general, or do you not trust the government?"

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "Xu Taishou misunderstood, it's not that I don't trust the general and Xu Taishou. I'm a businessman, and what this businessman said is that a black letter on a white background is valid."

"The great general swallows the sea with anger, and Xu Taishou is the most intelligent man in the world. In the future, he will surely sweep away the world and reappear the prosperity of Zhongxing."

"It's just that by that time, I, a little salt merchant in Qingzhou, won't be able to get into the eyes of the general and prefect Xu."

"Instead of increasing hatred in the future, it is better to get what we need today."

"I ask for a decree to avoid death, but Xu Taishou can get a lot of money, why not do it?"

Zheng Ping spoke beautifully, and Xu You could listen comfortably.

Especially the phrase "Xu Taishou Zhiguan is the best in the world", Xu You was very happy when he heard it.

"Patriarch Xu is quick to speak." Xu You laughed, and he became less wary of Zheng Ping in his heart.

A foolish, profit-seeking businessman.

This is Xu You's judgment on Zheng Ping.

"The death-prevention edict, the government can obtain it for you, but this—" Xu You smiled half-smile on purpose.

Zheng Ping smiled knowingly: "It's my honor to know Taishou Xu. This time, the buyer that my nephew is looking for for me, except for some deposits, has not yet been paid back."

"I heard that there have been frequent wars in Zhuo County recently, and the people of Zhuo County must have suffered greatly from it."

"I admire Taishou Xu for his diligence and love for the people. I would like to donate the money to Taishou Xu to help the people and relieve disasters."

"It's just that Prefect Xu has had a hard time and has to personally collect the money from these buyers."

Xu You laughed loudly: "Patriarch Xu, you really are a wonderful person!"

"Just for your heart, the death-prevention order you want, this government will definitely do it for you."

Soothe the people and provide disaster relief, how beautiful this is!
Even the old guy who was the judge, couldn't find a reason to impeach me!

Xu You was overjoyed, and completely let go of his guard against Zheng Ping.

The alcohol made by the Immortals is high, and after drinking these bottles of wine, Xu You became a little tipsy.

However, even if he was drunk, Xu You did not forget to win people over: "Master Xu, I will tell you the truth, Gongsun Zan is dying, and Liu Bei will not be able to make a fortune. At most three years, the general will go south to Qingzhou, why don't you Be an internal response to this government, and if you make credit in the future, this government can also show credit to you."

Zheng Ping also seemed drunk: "Prefect Xu, with all due respect, the salt merchants in Qingzhou, including me, don't think that the current general can beat Liu Qingzhou."

"There are some secrets that I couldn't tell at first, but in the face of Governor Xu, let me say a few more words."

"There was a severe drought in Guanzhong. Liu Shijun gave the emperor a form, asking the emperor to move his capital to Qingzhou. It won't be long before the emperor will come to Qingzhou."

"At that time, Qingzhou will be the place where the emperor is located. If the general wants to attack Qingzhou, how can the rest of the states not send troops to help?"

Xu You was secretly taken aback, and waved his hand deliberately: "Patriarch Xu, you think too much, the little emperor of Chang'an can't go to Qingzhou."

"Then Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao, how could it be possible for the little emperor to go to Qingzhou?"

Zheng Ping shook his head: "Prefect Xu, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao cannot stop it. There is a severe drought in Guanzhong, and it is imperative for the Son of Heaven to move the capital."

"Lu Bu and Zhang Miao definitely want the emperor to move the capital to Chenliu, but Chenliu will soon encounter a natural disaster, which will completely destroy the ambitions of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao."

Xu You was suddenly curious: "What kind of natural disaster will Chen Liu have?"

Zheng Ping said slowly: "Master Xu, has he ever heard that after a severe drought, there must be a plague of locusts? When there is a severe drought in Guanzhong, the locusts must fly east to look for food."

"And Chen Liu and Dongjun are the first to bear the brunt!"

"Prefect Xu, although I'm just a businessman, I'm very keen on predicting disasters in various places."

"After all, this disaster has also affected the sale of salt."

Xu You's eyes gradually became serious.
