Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

The heavy cavalry shined brightly on the battlefield in Jingzhou. Whether it was Zhuge Liang or Sun Ce, after learning about the power of the heavy cavalry, they were very excited. With such a cavalry, it is a must to win on the battlefield.

Very simple thing.

Under the charge of heavy cavalry, it can be said that they are invincible. Of course, if there are crossbows and thunderbolt chariots, they will definitely be able to cause huge damage to these cavalry. However, they are cavalry after all. When facing the crossbows and thunderbolt chariots, they

Their evasion was faster than that of ordinary infantry, but when the heavy cavalry approached, their nightmare began.

The cost of setting up a heavy cavalry is undoubtedly huge. The war horses must be excellent, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve faster speed after being equipped with armor. Just the load of the cavalry is too heavy for many war horses to bear. The burden of high-quality war horses

The price remained high, and the fine war horses were in Lu Bu's hands.

Although the breeding of horses was encouraged under the rule of the princes, these horses could only be used to transport grain and baggage, and were not qualified as cavalry horses.

Cao Cao was discussing the attack on Jiangling with his advisers in his tent, but he saw the city of Jiangling burning with blazing flames. Many of the surrendered Jingzhou army generals looked very ugly when they saw this scene. There is no doubt that Jiangling is important to Jingzhou.

, the city even hoarded a large amount of rice grains from Jingzhou, but when Zhuge Liang was retreating, he burned them all with a fire. Even though they were in hostility now, these rice grains belonged to Jingzhou.

"Lord, there's a fire in the city." A general burst into the camp panting.

Cao Cao didn't care to scold the general and hurriedly walked out of the tent. After seeing the fire in the city, his face suddenly became gloomy and he said coldly: "I don't think Zhuge villagers dare to do such an unconscionable thing. If it happens in the future,

If we encounter him on the battlefield, he will be killed without mercy."

After seeing this scene, the accompanying counselors felt a little heavy. There was enough food and grass in Jiangling. If it could be obtained, it would greatly relieve the pressure on food and grass. After Zhuge Liang burned the food and grass, Cao Jun wanted to take it from Sun Ce's hands.

If we seize the four counties in Jingnan, we will face even greater problems. The first thing to bear the brunt is the food and grass in the army. A hundred thousand troops consume countless amounts of food and grass every day. Although the food and grass in Xiangyang City is sufficient, it is still far behind compared to Jiangling.

A small gap.

The fire set off by the Jingzhou Army burned not only rice and grain, but also Jingzhou's heritage and Liu Bei's reputation.

After Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, in the eyes of the people, he was generous and treated the people kindly. However, his behavior was not worthy of the name of generosity.

"Lord, Zhuge Liang must have wanted to withdraw his troops from the city by burning the grain and grass." Xun You said.

"Instruct Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue the enemy, and Cao Ren to lead the heavy cavalry to accompany them." Cao Cao ordered.

Burning rice and grain was not Zhuge Liang's order. Under such circumstances, burning rice and grain would have a great negative impact. Although burning grain and grass could weaken Cao's army, after all, Liu Bei was the powerful controller of Jingzhou before.

, burning rice grains means that to a certain extent, Liu Bei has been cut off from the possibility of seizing Jingzhou again in the future.

Although these rice grains are important to Jingzhou, they have not reached a particularly important level. With Jingzhou's background, it only takes a short time to regain its strength. Of course, the premise of all this is that Jingzhou can stabilize.

However, this choice is reasonable. After all, the two sides are in hostile camps. Since I can't get something, I won't easily take advantage of the enemy.

The order issued by Guan Yu caused Zhuge Liang to bear the infamy. Regarding this, Zhuge Liang did not give too much explanation. He was thinking about how to make the army retreat from Nanjun. As for Cao Cao's support for Liu Cong to become

He had also heard about the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he could predict what impact it would have on Yizhou once it became a fact. There was no rule between heaven and the people, and if the already weak Han Dynasty

If there are two emperors, what will the princes think and what will the people think?

However, Liu Cong was in the hands of Cao Cao. This matter was not something Zhuge Liang could control. Having the emperor in his hands would have a great impact on his rule. With the emperor's support, it meant that he had great righteousness.

Among the officials in Jingzhou, more people supported Liu Cong than Liu Qi.

The reason why Liu Bei supported Liu Qi in the first place was because of his identity as the eldest son of Liu Qi, and because the power behind Liu Cong was too strong. If Liu Cong became the emperor, it would pose a lot of threats to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was initially in charge of Jingzhou.

, naturally he does not want a situation that threatens his rule in Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang withdrew his troops from Nanjun, and Cao's army occupied Nanjun at an extremely fast speed.

When the tiger and leopard cavalry caught up with the Jingzhou army, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses had already boarded the warship and headed from Jiangling to Yizhou. Taking the warship would be faster and safer.

Even though Cao Jun's cavalry was extremely elite, facing this situation, he could only lead his troops back.

Cao Cao captured Nanyang County and Nan County, but the one that occupied the most territory became the Jiangdong Army. At this time, Sun Ce had Jiangxia County, Changsha County, Guiyang County, and Lingling County in his hands. If Wuling County was captured, this would be the end of the battle.

The one who gets the most benefit.

The four counties in Jingnan are much weaker than Nanjun and Nanyang County in terms of foundation, but they still cannot be underestimated. After Sun Ce takes over, it may threaten the security of Nanjun.

"My lord, Deng Xi, the governor of Wuling County, is willing to surrender. If my lord leads his troops, he will definitely be able to capture Wuling County," Xun You said.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Sun Ce, my son, sent troops to seize Jingnan counties when our army was fighting with the Jingzhou army. How can such a villain relieve his hatred if we don't drive him away from Jingzhou."

"Lord, our army has been fighting for a long time, and Jiangdong's army is extremely elite. It will not be easy to capture Jingnan counties." Xun You said.

How could Cao Cao not understand the meaning of Xun You's words? Cao Cao's army dispatched a hundred thousand troops to fight, and it was difficult to sustain it for a long time in terms of food and grass consumption. After capturing Wuling County, I am afraid they would have no choice but to retreat. This battle

The longer it lasts, the more disadvantageous it is.

"We should seize Wuling County as soon as possible." Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao knew that after this order was issued, Cao Cao's army and Jiangdong's army would begin to fight, and it would be a protracted war. However, Cao Cao's plan was to temporarily stop the war after defeating Jiangdong's army and seize Wuling County, conquer Jingzhou, and let Cao Cao rule.

I am also a bit overwhelmed. The army is fighting, and the consumption of food and grass is huge.
