King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 539
As soon as Cai Mao heard Liu Biao's reprimand, he immediately languished, while Zhang Fei on the other side was about to stand up and ask for a fight. With such credit, Zhang Yide of Yan certainly wanted to walk away from the excitement. Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei lightly, and Zhang Fei Fei stopped and turned to look at Liu Bei. Liu Bei bowed his head and said nothing. Zhang Fei then sat down and smacked his lips, a little unhappy. …

No one spoke around Liu Bei's royal family, so he had to ask Kuai Yue, "I don't know the different degrees, who do you think is suitable?"

Kuai Yue's eyes rolled wildly, and he took a detour to attack Xuchang. This task is simple and easy, but it is also difficult and difficult. The lone army goes deep, and there will be many mistakes in the south. As Liu Biao's right-hand man, even if he is not a vanguard general, Liu Biao will He would not send Cai Mao there easily, and Kuai Yue was also hesitating, not because of anything else, but because Kuai Yue was thinking about Liu Biao's meaning and who he was sending. Please trouble Uncle Liu Huang to make a trip!"

"Oh? Xuande?" Although Liu Biao was also thinking about Liu Bei's candidate, not only was Liu Biao suspicious of Liu Bei, but also because Liu Biao himself had worked under Cao Cao's command, and even ran all the way from Xuchang. I am also familiar with the terrain of Yingchuan.

As he said that, everyone's eyes also turned to Liu Bei. Liu Bei slowly lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Follow the order of the King of Chu!"

Liu Biao nodded and said, "Okay! I'll give Xuande three thousand light cavalry, and Xuande's troops to attack Xuchang!"

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "Thank you King Chu!"

Liu Biao nodded, then turned around and asked Kuai Yue, "Then I wonder what the third strategy is?"

Kuai Yue laughed and said: "The third strategy is to hope that General Hussars' general Zhong Yao will send troops out of Hulao Pass to attack Xingyang, Zhongmou and other places. The Yellow River attacked Li Lin's camps in the cities and camps along the Yellow River. The king led the army to attack the cities along the Yingshui, and he could form a two-sided attack on Li Yuanjie. The pocket of the army, even if Li Yuanjie is brave, it will be of no avail. As long as my two armies succeed together, Li Yuanjie will have nowhere to hide in Henan. My lord will thus enter the Central Plains and aspire to become the king of the world!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Liu Biao said three good words, his mood was like the sunshine of this spring, and he said immediately: "Three strategies of different degrees, it is really a strategy to stabilize the world alone! The three armies obey orders! Immediately act according to Mr. Clothes' plan!"

"No!" All the generals in the tent stood up and cupped their hands.

Immediately, Liu Biao's army was divided into three groups of troops. Cao Pi was afraid that Zhong Yao would not have enough troops in Luoyang to attack various places at Hulao Pass, so he wrote a letter to Liu Biao, hoping that Liu Biao would deploy some troops. Liu Biao was in such a good mood, and he was generous and kind [-] soldiers and horses passed through Wuguan and went to Luoyang, and Cao Pi secretly sent a letter to Mao Jie. From the [-] elite soldiers in Wancheng, he allocated [-] to pass through Wuguan to Zhong Yao, because although Kuai Yue belonged to Liu Biao Counselor, but this strategy must be approved by Xun You and others. Since they all regard Li Lin as a common enemy, this can eliminate Li Lin's strategy, and Cao Pi has to make a little effort, otherwise Liu Biao may see Doubtful......

"Hey! Big Brother! Look, you won't let me, Old Zhang, invite to fight, but the King of Chu just wants Big Brother to fight! If Lao Zhang doesn't need to invite, don't the three of us still come out?" On the official road in Yuzhou, marching There was a group of soldiers and horses, and from the group of soldiers and horses, there was a hearty voice.

Liu Bei, who was riding on the horse, heard some complaints from his third brother, and said helplessly: "Third brother! Brother knows that you can't stay still and like to fight, but this plan of Kuaiyue is good, but this is a way to sneak attack on Xuchang. Soldiers and horses are extremely dangerous, why would my brother want my three brothers to be in danger!" Seeing himself as the straightforward and somewhat reckless third brother who had just left Liu Biao's camp, he shouted like no one else, Liu Bei There is no way to take him.

Zhang Fei immediately said nonchalantly: "Hey! Brother, what's so dangerous about this? I, Old Zhang, will certainly be able to beat the Youliao Army's crying father and mother when I fight with the spear. I'm not afraid of that Li Yuanjie!"

"That's right! Big Brother!" The person next to him also suddenly said: "This Northern Expedition is a good opportunity for the three of my brothers to make meritorious deeds. This attack on Xuchang is a good opportunity to make great achievements. Why is Big Brother reluctant? what?"

Liu Biao shook his head and said: "It's not because of reluctance. Although we have not fought with that Li Yuanjie and the Youliao Army for a while, the reputation of Li Yuanjie's Youliao Army's bravery has spread far and wide, and Li Yuanjie has always been treacherous. I hope that if I fall into the enemy's tricks, the soldiers and horses I have finally accumulated will be lost like this!"

Zhang Fei grinned and said, "Haha, big brother, don't worry, if Lao Zhang has a snake spear, and second brother has a big knife, they will definitely be able to protect big brother's safety, right?"

"Haha..." Xu Shu listened for a long time without answering, Zhang Fei suddenly asked himself a question, couldn't help laughing, and then said to Liu Bei: "My lord, could it be that my lord can't see that this Of Yue's three strategies, two are aimed at Cao's army, and one is to push the lord with needles!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei asked suspiciously, "What does the military division mean?"

Xu Shu smiled lightly, and said slowly: "My lord, the first plan and the third plan, Kuai Yue wanted to use the power of the Cao army to kill the Youliao army, and the second plan was almost tailor-made for the lord. And Kuai Yue talked for a long time, but none of the original crew under Liu Biao's command was used, don't you think it's strange, my lord?"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, and said in surprise, "The military advisor means..." At this point, Liu Biao didn't dare to say any more, and looked at Xu Shu in amazement, while Xu Shu nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei looked very strange at the appearance of his elder brother and Xu Shu, and immediately complained: "Hey, elder brother, military adviser, what do you mean by muttering here? Why didn't my old Zhang understand? Could it be that this Liu Biao wanted to Are you plotting against your brother?" From the last moment, after Mao Jie used countermeasures to make Liu Biao suspicious of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was also very sensitive to Liu Biao.

Liu Bei bowed his head in silence for a moment, then raised his head and said: "What if there is no way out, this battle is still going to be fought, order the three armies to attack immediately, and attack Xuchang."

"Promise!" Everyone shouted, without further words, they immediately rode their horses and galloped around Yingchuan, entered Yingchuan from Runan, and attacked Xuchang.

After Liu Bei and Cao Pi left one after another, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao stayed of course. Cai Mao was still complaining, and said unkindly to Kuai Yue: "Yidu, you said that these three strategies of yours were all arranged for Cao Pi and Liu Bei. , Isn’t this cheap and they have made great achievements? Could it be that your elbow is still turning outward!”

Hearing Cai Mao's sarcasm, Kuai Yue didn't take it seriously, but Liu Biao said to Kuai Yue deeply: "Yi Du, your three strategies are to destroy the power of the Cao and Liu families?"

Kuai Yue nodded, and said quietly: "My lord, now our forces are mixed with the Cao and Liu families. Although these two families are now attached to the lord, it must be a hidden danger. If it takes a long time, it is very likely that the two families will It will become an obstacle. After Liu Bei's royal family, he is a hero among men. Although he still has the name of benevolence and righteousness, he is afraid of changing his mind in the future. Although Cao Pi is not very old, there are counselors such as Xun You, Mao Jie, and Liu Ye behind him. It is not easy to make suggestions for it. This time the lord will go to the north, why not let these two families be the vanguard, and at the same time we will use up the strength of the two families, and the second is to verify Cao Liu's loyalty to the lord..."

Liu Biao nodded after hearing this, and said, "Yeah! What Yidu said is good! I just want to try these two people and see if they are really for my use!" After Liu Biao finished speaking, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao looked at each other and smiled. , These two people are here with Liu Biao. On this day, in their eyes, Li Yuanjie is just an external enemy. Regardless of whether Liu Biao wins or loses, he can return to Jingzhou, and it will not have any impact on his status. And the increased power of the Cao and Liu families is what will make the evil people fearful of Cai Mao, and those who may shake their enemies must be suppressed and they must not be allowed to stand up!

Liu Biao had already reached Yingchuan, and at Lujiang in Yangzhou, Sun Quan finally arrived at the city of Hefei. Sure enough, Cao Jun had made sufficient preparations, and Shi Huan was brave and Liu Ye was also resourceful. He was determined to win the city , Sun Quan, who is famous all over the world, how can he know the art of war to attack the city? In fact, Sun Quan has never been on the battlefield several times. In the end, Sun Quan paid the price for his impulse...

In the beginning, Sun Quan also used the usual tactics. The army attacked the city, retreated, and then attacked the city again. Unexpectedly, the generals in Jiangdong were really on the same level as Cao Jun's county soldiers. In just a few days, Li Lin's big victories in Yanzhou and Qingzhou had already made Sun Quan's heart itch. He even ignored the exhaustion of the soldiers and attacked the city desperately. As soon as Liu Ye saw the posture of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, he understood Jiangdong's Sun Quan's strength. Anxious to win, he immediately came up with a plan.

Cao Jun feigned defeat at the city gate of Hefei, and the city gate was opened. Sun Quan was so excited when he saw it, he immediately ordered the whole army to press forward. After entering the city, don’t forget that behind the city gate is the Wengcheng. I saw Sun Quan’s army rushing in. On the Wengcheng, Cao Jun, who had already ambushed for a long time, suddenly appeared, and Shi Huan waved his command flag in the center and shouted. One voice said: "Fire the arrows!" Shi Huan gave an order, and Cao Jun's archers, who had already been ready to go, immediately shot the arrows on the bowstring. …………
