Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1812: Zhuge Liang’s worries {page 1/1}

This situation is naturally what Lu Bu is happy to see. It is difficult for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to unite together. When he attacks Yizhou, he will not arouse the hatred of Cao Jun.

After listening to Sun Qian's detailed account of his trip to Chang'an, Liu Bei looked relaxed. Being able to obtain three thousand horses was the next best thing. The key was to find out Lu Bu's attitude.

"Kong Ming, what do you think of King Jin's move?" Liu Bei turned his attention to Zhuge Liang and asked.

Ever since he heard the news that Sun Qian had brought back, Zhuge Liang was not as relaxed as Liu Bei. This was just a test. It does not mean that Chang'an's sale of war horses to Yizhou means that Chang'an's army will not attack Yizhou for the time being. .

Lu Bu's methods are beyond what ordinary people can guess. What used to be impossible in the eyes of others has become possible in Lu Bu's hands. Just like after the allied forces of the princes defeated the Bingzhou Army, the main force of the Jizhou Army was still However, under such circumstances, Lu Bu sent troops to Jizhou and defeated Yuan Shao, causing Yuan Shao to flee Qingzhou in defeat.

When the princes thought that Lu Bu would not make any big move, Lu Bu actually led the Chang'an army, which had been formed for more than three months, and defeated Ma Teng who was entrenched in Liangzhou. Ma Teng died and his son Ma Chao fled to Yizhou.

The person Lu Bu was most likely to attack at that time was Yuan Shao, who was entrenched in Qingzhou. Instead, he attacked Hanzhong and successfully defeated Yuan Shao, bringing a sad end to a generation of heroes.

Now that Lu Bu sells the war horses to Yizhou, is it really as simple as it seems? The capture of Bajun by Yizhou's army will threaten the safety of Jiameng Pass at any time. As long as Jiameng Pass is captured, Yizhou's The army can walk out of Jiange and threaten the safety of Liangzhou and Hanzhong. How can they allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?

"My lord, it's hard to predict King Jin's methods. King Jin is a very human being and you must be careful." Zhuge Liang said in a solemn tone.

"The military adviser is overly worried. Yizhou is dangerous. Even if the King of Jin has 200,000 elite soldiers, it will be difficult to enter Yizhou. The King of Jin relies most on the cavalry. When attacking Yizhou, the cavalry will definitely not be sent. It is of great use. As long as you defend carefully, you will definitely be able to make it difficult for the Jin King's army to enter Yizhou." Veteran general Yan Yan said.

Liu Bei also agreed with Yan Yan's statement. Even if Lu Bu had a strong military, if he wanted to conquer Yizhou, the first thing he had to do was seize the Jiange plank road. If he attacked by water from Jiameng Pass, he would face greater difficulties. .

"Kong Ming doesn't need to be anxious. There are hundreds of thousands of armored men under my command. With Yizhou's terrain, it is no problem to stop the Jin King's army." Liu Bei comforted.

Zhuge Liang hesitated to speak, but now the army has obtained 3,000 war horses. After some training, he will definitely be able to obtain a cavalry, which will play a big role in the future battlefield.

While in Yizhou, Liu Bei did not stop developing the strength of his army.

For example, Guan Yu has an infantry force of two thousand, called the Bai'er Army, which is composed of warriors from the five Qingqiang tribes. Whether these soldiers are fighting on the plains or in the mountains and forests, they are all They are extremely brave, and Liu Bei attaches great importance to the Bai'er Army. All the soldiers use heavy armor in order to gain a greater advantage for the army in future wars. The two thousand elite Bai'er soldiers are Liu Bei's The biggest support in infantry battles are these warriors of the Qingqiang tribe, who are brave and adept at fighting, and are not afraid of death on the battlefield. Although there are only two thousand people, they can be worth tens of thousands of infantry.

In terms of the strength of the cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Ma Chao was an extremely brave presence on the battlefield. At that time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry fought against the flying cavalry on the battlefield in Liangzhou. Although they did not defeat the flying cavalry, they were able to defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

His name spread throughout the world. At this time, Ma Chao had two thousand Xiliang cavalry under his command. They were the cavalry force Liu Bei relied on. Although he was wary of Ma Chao, Liu Bei still admired Ma Chao's martial arts very much.

When fighting with soldiers, Ma Chao has abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary generals.

Not only Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry, but also the two thousand cavalry led by Zhang Fei are extremely powerful, and these horses can just supplement the soldiers of each department.

In fact, there was an even more mysterious army in Yizhou, which later showed great success in the battle against the Chang'an Army.

Liu Bei needed more time, not to develop Yizhou's military power, but because the southern part of Yizhou was not very stable. The barbarian tribes had a strong interest in the city of Yizhou, but due to Lu Bu's intimidation,

Yizhou did not dare to take any big action and could only send officials to appease the barbarian tribes.

The development of military power gave Liu Bei strong confidence in fighting Lu Bu's army. If Lu Bu could be defeated, there would be no fighting in Yizhou in a short period of time, and Liu Bei would be able to free up his hands to deal with southern Yizhou.

of barbarian tribes.

When Liu Zhang ruled Yizhou, the southern part of Yizhou was often harassed by barbarians. Although the weapons and armor of the barbarians were backward, they were extremely brave in battle, often making Yizhou's army dare not fight with them.

If Liu Bei is given another two years, he will be confident enough to completely stabilize Yizhou and make his soldiers more elite.

Yizhou has experienced very few wars and has a heritage that is unimaginable by the Central Plains princes. The money and food in the treasury is enough to support a hundred thousand troops for a three-year campaign. If this amount was known to the Central Plains princes, they would be stunned.

of.

Liu Bei treated Liu Zhang kindly, more because Liu Zhang did not burn the grain and grass because of his failure on the battlefield. His lord even opened the city gate and took refuge with Liu Bei. From Liu Zhang, the princes saw weakness, but Liu Zhang also had command.

A side that people admire.

"Instruct Cao Bao, the guard of Jianmen Pass, to step up the defense and beware of enemy raids." Liu Bei ordered. Confidence is one thing. The existence of Jiange plays a vital role in Yizhou, and it is also important to resist the Chang'an army.

where.

After everyone left, Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, the King of Jin held such a grand wedding for his daughter in Chang'an. I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems. Cao Cao and Sun Quan also sent envoys to Chang'an."

Liu Bei looked thoughtful. He had naturally received this information before. Lu Bu had a high prestige among the princes. On the occasion of Lu Lingqi's wedding, it was reasonable for the princes to send envoys to congratulate her.

"The envoy from Jiangdong is Lu Su. Although he is young, he is highly regarded by Sun Quan. The envoy from Xudu is Xun You, a counselor whom Cao Cao relies on." Zhuge Liang reminded.

"Could it be that Jiangdong, Xu Du wants to compete this year?" Liu Bei asked.
