At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

"My lord, give the order!"

A group of military generals and counselors all stood up, and the previous sluggishness and decline were swept away, replaced by endless fighting spirit.

Having experienced so many storms, how could Zhao Yun and others be intimidated by a single number!

At this time, Dian Wei walked to the middle with a big grin.

"My lord, let me tell you the truth, I'm not used to fighting such a superior battle!"

"What's the meaning?"

Dian Wei's words confuse Liu Zhang. Is it possible that there are still people who want to be in a desperate situation every day?

"My lord, think about it, our 100,000 troops went north to Hanzhong, but Han Sui and Ma Teng combined didn't have 100,000 people! When did we fight such a rich battle?"

"I don't think that at the beginning, others paid 100,000 yuan at every turn, and we only had half of the enemy's?"

"Before the duel with the enemy, which time did I not charge forward and turn the enemy upside down? But this time I just watched from the sidelines..."

Now Liu Zhang completely understood, it turned out that Dian Wei felt that his side had too much advantage, and he didn't feel the pleasure of fighting at all!

It's amazing!

There are still people who dislike their superiority!

Liu Zhang couldn't help complaining in his heart, is it possible that he is so bad, always playing bad?

Dian Wei thought so, but Liu Zhang didn't think so at all.

Without considering the relationship between victory and defeat, Dian Wei wanted to be the Sun Liu coalition army in the Battle of Chibi, but Liu Zhang wanted to be Cao Cao!

Liu Zhang can't wait to raise an army of one million to put down all the rebellions in the world.

Every time you fight with a few, you have to double your efforts, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of being destroyed!

Liu Zhang has had enough, his wish is to have an absolute advantage!

"What about you, don't you think so too?"

Liu Zhang looked at the other generals, he didn't believe that other people were as abnormal as Dian Wei!

Sure enough, everyone shook their heads desperately, and even took a step away from Dian Wei.

"My lord, we still want to use the more to attack the less, and use the strong to bully the weak..."

Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily only Dian Wei was abnormal!

"Okay, that's the end of the episode, and the next task is to be assigned."

All the civil and military personnel immediately became serious, and Dian Wei also quickly returned to the team.

"Gongda, how is the situation in Jieting? Does Lu Su have any news?"

Liu Zhang only knew that Jieting was the most critical passage in Longshan, and guarding Jieting could prevent any enemy troops from entering Hanyang County.

However, Liu Zhang was completely unaware of the real geographical situation of Jieting.

Moreover, the controversy over the street pavilion in later generations is very serious. Whether it can be defended or not can not be defended is at a stalemate, each has its own argument.

Now Lu Su, who is good at relying on the terrain, went to Jieting to investigate in person, and he would definitely be able to give Liu Zhang the most correct advice.

"My lord, Zijing has sent back the news."

"How's it going?"

At present, whether it is Ma Chao, Han Sui or the Qiang people, it is not the most important thing. Liu Zhang is confident that he can fight with a large army.

After all, the Qiang people are not dominated by cavalry. Even if there is a real army melee, the Yizhou army will not have obvious disadvantages except for their numbers.

As long as the Xianbei army can be kept out of Jieting, the pacification of Yongliang will be half successful!

"Jieting is a plain between the Longshan Mountains, surrounded by Longshan Mountains on both sides, and there is a small city in the middle. However, the small town has been in disrepair for a long time, and the city walls are mostly damaged. Now Lu Su is ordering people to repair it day and night."

Since Lu Su received the news that the Xianbei army was about to invade, he has not been idle for a moment, and has been strengthening the city defense.

With Lu Su in Jieting, Liu Zhang can at least relax half of his worries.

"What's the result? Is Lu Su confident to stop the Xianbei cavalry?"

Looking at Liu Zhang's slightly expectant eyes, Xun You's expression suddenly dimmed, and he shook his head helplessly.

"My lord, Jieting City is too small to hold on to the main roads. The Xianbei cavalry can bypass both sides of Jieting City."

"According to Lu Su, the Longshan Mountains on both sides of the Jieting Pavilion are not too high. If the Xianbei people recklessly attack, it is possible to bypass the mountains."

Sure enough, it won't be easy!

Liu Zhang also somewhat understood Ma Di's helplessness. He took 9,000 infantry to Jieting to face Zhang He's 50,000 cavalry.

According to Lu Su's report, the street pavilion is like a leaky roof, if it can be blocked, it cannot be blocked.

Ma Di has few soldiers and is at a disadvantage in the face of Zhang He, who has been famous for a long time. Then there was a huge gap in strength and arms. It must be very difficult to successfully defend the street pavilion.

"How many soldiers and horses does Lu Su need to defend the street pavilion?"

Even without asking, Liu Zhang knew that Lu Su must have provided him with a defensive strategy.

"Lu Su wanted to transfer Huang Zhong to Jieting to garrison the city, and another 20,000 people were sent to stand on both sides of the Jieting city, completely blocking the Jieting passage. Finally, 5,000 soldiers were stationed on the Longshan Mountains on both sides to prevent Xianbei cavalry Steal."

After Xun You said his appeal, Liu Zhang immediately frowned.

Forty thousand troops!

This number is indeed not a small number for the current Liu Zhang.

Consecutive battles, even if the Yizhou army wins consecutive battles, soldiers will suffer casualties.

Not counting Huang Zhong and the Wushe Battalion stationed in Pingxiang, the total number of soldiers and horses in the Yizhou Army Battalion in Ji County is only a little over 60,000!

Send the soldiers and horses Lu Su needs to Jieting, then Liu Zhang will only have 30,000 people left under his command!

Counting the soldiers and horses stationed in the counties and guarding the prisoners, one-third would have to be removed, not even 30,000 left!

This time, Dian Wei's wish was completely fulfilled, not only the disadvantage, but also the split, Liu Zhang himself felt that he was about to split!

"Is there any news from Wenhe? Where is Yang Lin?"

Counting on the current strength is definitely not enough!

Wuwei County still needs to be defended, Yuzhong also needs to lead troops there, and Hanyang County, as the rear, also needs to be garrisoned!

Even Xu Huang and Liu Ye in Longxi County need to send troops to support them.

Suddenly Liu Zhang had an extremely serious need for troops, and wished that he had an army of millions in his hands to drive wantonly!

It's a pity that militarism has always been taboo. If the stability and development of Yizhou were not considered, with the population of more than 5 million under Liu Zhang's rule, it is very easy to recruit more than 300,000 troops.

"My lord, Yang Lin has led his army to Wudu County. Jia Biejia is urgently mobilizing troops, but at least it will take more than a month."

Liu Zhang couldn't help secretly having a headache, it would take another month to mobilize the army, and it would probably take another month to rush from Yizhou to the Liangzhou battlefield!

Adding up the time before and after, I am afraid it will be a quarter later.

"Send someone to notify Yang Lin and ask him to leave 5,000 people to garrison Wudu, and then lead the rest of the troops to garrison Ji County."

"In addition, send someone to inform Wu Yi that he will lead an army of 5,000 troops to station in Shangyu, as Zhang Ren's backup in Chencang."

The Xianbei army would choose to detour through Guanzhong only when the attack was unfavorable.

As for whether to burn, kill, loot or attack Chencang after arriving in Guanzhong, it is still unknown.

Even if the Xianbei army attacked Chencang as promised, it would be at least a few months later.

At present, Liu Zhang really has no extra troops to send to Zhang Ren.
