Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 79, taking advantage of the situation

Ten thousand people?

Are you drifting?

The cost of a heavy armored cavalry is at least as much as that of dozens of infantrymen, and if it is equipped with ten thousand people, doesn't it mean that hundreds of thousands of ordnances are needed?

Even if the entire Bingzhou was hollowed out, there would still be no 10,000 heavily armored cavalry.

One thousand is enough!

Liu Bei smiled and said, "I was joking with Fengxiao, so don't take it seriously."

It's rare for the emperor's uncle to have a sense of humor, but it's not funny at all, and he's even a bit cold.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "With the financial resources of Bingzhou, eight hundred people are enough."

Liu Bei nodded, a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.

"I just don't know who should lead this army."

He knew very well that no general could refuse a powerful cavalry. Once this kind of cavalry equipment was released, even the most reserved Guan Yu would probably come out to compete.

Guo Jia answered without any hesitation: "Who else in this army has more virtue than Yide?"

Liu Bei was stunned. He never expected that Guo Jia would recommend Zhang Fei. After all, his third brother was notoriously reckless.

He expressed doubts about the man's motives.

"Fengxiao didn't choose to help Yide because he often went to hunt tigers and gave you precious medicinal materials, right?"

"Of course not! How can Jia take advantage of military and state affairs for personal gain?"

Guo Jia hurriedly denied it, although there was indeed a reason for this. He explained: "In the whole world, the people who are most loyal to the lord are Yun Chang and Yide."

Of course there is a Zilong, but Zhao Yun is probably just a teenager at this time and has not yet joined, so he is not counted.

"Why doesn't Fengxiao recommend Yun Chang?"

"Because sooner or later he will be on his own, and only Yide will always follow the lord in all the wars in the north and south!"

Guo Jia and Liu Bei knew very well that the Han Dynasty would be in chaos sooner or later, otherwise they would not be in a hurry to conquer the country, so there was no need to worry about it.

Guo Jia continued: "Although Yi De is reckless, he also has a careful side. As long as we explain our interests to him, he will definitely cherish this hard-won elite teacher."

Guo Jia thought to himself: Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei, I have said all the good things for you, no matter what, you have to repay me with "three roots".

However, he also made the recommendation based on the facts. Zhang Fei was by no means a mindless reckless man, he just liked fighting too much.

This kind of person should be called - thick in the middle and thin in the middle.

Liu Bei nodded in agreement and then asked another question.

"What is the purpose of this cavalry army?"

He felt that this army was taken from Guo Jia, so he should naturally name it.

"Both men and horses are armored, how about calling it [Iron Buddha]?"

"good!"

By this time, the generals had finished dealing with the prisoners and came to the Chinese army's tent one after another.

Lu Bu bore the brunt and came to Liu Bei. He knelt down and raised his hands and said, "Lü Bu, the guilty general, please see Liu Shijun."

Liu Bei quickly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "The general understands the righteousness, and turned the tide at the critical moment to prevent our Han soldiers from fighting with each other. It should be a great achievement, why should I accuse him?"

Without waiting for Lu Bu's answer, he sighed again and said with regret, "It's a pity that General Ding was bewitched by thieves, causing me to lose a great general."

He and Guo Jia had already discussed that the simpler the internal struggle, the better, even if Ding Yuan was already known as a rebel.

Otherwise, the world will think that when he arrived in Bingzhou, he only wanted to eliminate dissidents and did not think about serving the country.

Lu Bu's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. No matter how upright he was, he still couldn't see the situation clearly.

The cause, course and ending of the incident are all very clear. This was a power struggle between Ding Yuan and Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was superior and counted Ding Yuan's every step to death.

He was also secretly glad that he made a decision at a critical moment, otherwise even if he was not liquidated afterwards, he would probably never be promoted again in this life.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

After speaking, Lu Bu stood up and returned to the queue.

"Report..."

Liu Bei was waiting to discuss his merits and be rewarded when he suddenly saw a soldier walking in hurriedly.

"The flames of war broke out in Yanmen, and the Xiongnu massacred tens of thousands of cavalry troops at the border. Governor Xun sent someone to ask for help."

Upon hearing the news, all the generals were filled with indignation, especially Lu Bu.

He was born in Bingzhou and grew up in Bingzhou, and he hated the Hu people's invasion of the south the most.

"It came so quickly..."

Liu Bei murmured to himself, and then said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu."

"The end will be here."

"Are you willing to lead your army as a vanguard and rush to the aid of Yanmen?"

"The general is willing!"

"Okay, I order you to lead three thousand wolf cavalry as the vanguard, and lead the army to march to the aid of Yanmen early tomorrow morning."

This is an opportunity, but it is also a temptation.

Naturally, it is impossible to give all the six thousand wolf cavalry to Lu Bu, otherwise it would be meaningless to get rid of Ding Yuan. However, they cannot be deprived of them all. It is suspected of killing the donkey, which will also cause Lu Bu's dissatisfaction.

Lu Bu only hesitated for a moment and then said: "The last general will take orders."

He knew that he was a newly surrendered general and it would be good to have three thousand troops. He was even prepared to be deprived of all military power.

Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that he agreed so simply. Then he felt relieved. No one is born to be rebellious, it's just a matter of adapting to the circumstances.

If Lu Shang, Duke of Zhou, encounters a fatuous king, he will take his place in his place.

——

"General Lu, wait~"

Lu Bu had just taken a few steps out of the Chinese army's tent when he heard someone calling from behind him and couldn't help but stop.

Turning around, he saw that it was Liu Bei's mastermind, Guo Jia, who should now be called "strategist".

Ghost fox~

Ding Yuan's defeat was most likely led by this person.

Lu Bu cupped his hands and said, "What are your instructions from the military advisor?" If he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, Guo Jia wouldn't have come to him for a drink and a heart-to-heart talk, right?

Looking at the most powerful man in the world, Guo Jia had a complicated expression.

If I had half of his physical strength, I would be able to keep those two ignorant women screaming~

Ahem, that's too far off topic.

Guo Jia put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "I hope the general will not continue to pursue the Xiutu tribe after defeating them. It is best to let them see that you deliberately let them escape safely."

"Why is this?" Lu Bu was puzzled. How could there be any reason to deliberately let the enemy go?

"The ancients said that a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Does the general hope that the Xiutu tribe will only lose troops and generals in this battle, or will it... be destroyed?"

Lu Bu fell silent.

Guo Jia's words were a little subtle, but it was not difficult to understand. This was aimed at the entire Southern Huns!

Is this the method of a top strategist?

The plan has been laid out before the war begins. It does not care about the success or failure of a city, a pool, a soldier or a general, but to defeat the opponent completely.

Although I don't know what Guo Jia's specific plan is, it is not difficult to guess that it must be related to the slaughter department.

Ding Yuan was defeated unjustly!

Lu Bu put away his thoughts and said solemnly: "If the military advisor can really do it, Lu Bu will be grateful!"

He hated the Huns especially the Xianbei people. Although this nation had surrendered in name, they would still go south to plunder from time to time.

As long as the matter does not get too big, the court will probably let it go and will not use large-scale troops just because of the survival of a small village.

The Lujia Village where he lived was destroyed because of this.

"As for the Xiutu tribe, let's let their heads hang for a few more days."
