Xuande

Chapter 213 You will never see Liu Xuande without scars
Huangfusong honestly explained the current military situation to Zhang Wen, and told Zhang Wen the current situation of the two armies, while Liu Bei was also listening.

The current situation is that Huangfusong wants to expel the rebels in the direction of Liangzhou, but the rebels are very tenacious. Huangfusong has attacked many times, and the rebels have won and lost each other, but they have not been able to achieve their goals. As far as Meiyang County, it is a war zone for both sides.

Huangfusong once pushed the battle line to the position of Yumi County before, but the rebels came to reinforce him. Huangfu Song was caught off guard and failed. The control is on the front line of Meiyang.

Most of the cities in other areas were still in the hands of the officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The rebels failed to capture the cities, but the battle line was indeed pushed to the vicinity of Meiyang, and the cities in most areas could only protect themselves and could not support the army.

The current rebel army near Meiyang is Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou's troops, and Bian Zhang and Han Sui's troops are in the rear. They may come to Meiyang to support them at any time. The number of soldiers and horses may not be lower than that of the Han army. The two sides are evenly matched, which is very difficult to deal with.

"Where did the rebels get so many soldiers? Did all the Qiang people join the rebels?"

After Zhang Wen learned of the current situation, his expression was very bad, and he felt that the situation was very difficult.

Huangfusong didn't care anymore anyway, and he didn't feel nervous, even thinking about it carefully, he was a bit gloating.

"There are definitely a lot of Qiang people who joined the rebellion. The Qiang people were dissatisfied with the imperial court, but there were also many Liangzhou locals who joined the rebellion. Presumably they were quite dissatisfied with the imperial court. This battle is really not easy to fight. General Zhang is cautious. ah."

Zhang Wen could only nod heavily and said nothing.

Liu Bei knew that Zhang Wen's thoughts were nothing more than worrying about his own safety, but Liu Bei didn't like this. He needed military exploits, which couldn't be achieved by staying with the coach.

Liu Bei's upper body is very strong, stronger than many strong officers and elite soldiers he has seen, and there seems to be endless power in his strong body.

He seems to be able to understand why Liu Bei can become Liu Bei today.

He remembered that Liu Bei's background was very humble.

"Why?"

After this wave of returning, Huangfusong probably will be out of work for a while, there will be no big problems, and small problems will inevitably be.

"If the general can fulfill me, he will be an important person for me to achieve great things. From humble beginnings, the most despised thing is ungratefulness!"

But at the end of the day, he still didn't say it.

"General, without this scar, there would be no Liu Xuande standing in front of you today."

Because of this scar, Bei was able to get rid of the coldness, because of this scar, Bei was favored by the teacher, because of this scar, there was the god of debate in Luoyang City, without this scar, Bei was nothing but Just ants. "

Zhang Wen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

With Liu Bei's social status, political status and huge reputation, it is very appropriate to stand up and smooth things over.

Zhang Wen was still worried.

He couldn't fully imagine Liu Bei's days of weaving mats and selling shoes. He didn't know what a hard life was, but Liu Bei, who was covered in scars, didn't have any emotional ups and downs, but still shocked him.

In the end, Liu Bei couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to smooth things over.

He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before raising his head and looking at Liu Bei.

"Xuande, isn't it equally important to live in the army and protect the commander? If you really have the heart to make contributions, it's the same."

"Xuande, this...these are..."

Zhang Wen originally thought that Liu Bei, as one of the leaders of the ancient literature school, should be a son of a daughter, pampered and pampered is the norm, and he should be very rich, but this is not the case.

But Liu Bei doesn't seem to be the case.

When Liu Bei stood up to speak, Dong Zhuo restrained his temper and did not continue to sneer at Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen was quite puzzled, and said in surprise: "With your talent, it doesn't need to be like this, Xuande, what a talent you are? Why do you need to humiliate yourself like this?"

Zhang Wen's strategic plan for this wave can be said to be far-reaching, but Liu Bei felt that it would be difficult for him to achieve his goal, and from the beginning, the Han army was not monolithic.

Zhang Wen was a member of the eunuch group. Dong Zhuo didn't know if he was proud of being an old official of the Yuan family, so he expressed disdain for Zhang Wen of the eunuch group. When Zhang Wen held a military meeting, Dong Zhuo was late and still There is a verbal offense to Zhang Wenduo.

At least Dong Zhuo is willing to give Liu Bei a face.

"General, each of these scars is the result of a life-threatening effort."

Liu Bei was silent for a while, then took off his shirt in front of Zhang Wen, revealing his muscular upper body.

"Xuande, I don't know how far your achievements can go. I can't speculate on your achievements, but when you achieve great things, I hope you don't forget today and me."

Liu Bei caressed the many scars on his body and said softly: "Every scar, Bei remembers how he got it, every time he was injured, Bei remembered why, every time he was injured, it was very painful, very dangerous, maybe Bei was also afraid that he would die, but when the situation came to an end, he rushed to the front.”

Fortunately, the situation was under control, and Zhang Wen was able to issue orders as the commander-in-chief, making a series of arrangements for Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen and his army.

Huangfusong quickly left with his own troops.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Wen realized that Liu Bei's significance in this army was not as superfluous as he thought at first.

Liu Bei put on his shirt again, and said slowly: "The Liu Xuande you see is Liu Xuande with scars all over his body, and you will never see Liu Xuande without scars, because he has no right to stand in front of you at all. Talk and laugh with you.

When it was Liu Bei's turn, Zhang Wen hoped that Liu Bei would lead his main army as the central army and stay with him, essentially acting as a guard to protect Zhang Wen, and would not go to the battlefield to charge unless necessary.

Zhang Wen's own background is also not high, but relatively low, but his family is very rich, a local tyrant, and he is a local tyrant behind closed doors in the local area, and he has never suffered much since childhood.

Zhang Wen's character is not too strong, and Dong Zhuo's character is rough and strong. Without Liu Bei stepping up to smooth things over, it would be difficult for the two of them to get along.

So Liu Bei asked Zhang Wen to include his headquarters in the battle sequence, and the reason was very good, because he had taken the lead in the battle in Hebei, and had made several solid military exploits. He was not a simple Confucian scholar, he was also a warrior. .

At the end of August in the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Wen sent troops to attack for the first time. The goal was to push the front line back to Yong County, drive the rebels out of the Guanzhong Plain, and enter the upper reaches of the Lishui River Valley, striving to seize this area.

Zhang Wen was very angry and reprimanded Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was not afraid, relying on Yuan Kai as his backing, and sneered at Zhang Wen. The scene was once ugly.

This was beyond Zhang Wen's expectation.

"All the kings are the pillars of the country, and they are all people who serve the country. Now a strong enemy is in front of us, but the kings are fighting among themselves. Since ancient times, I have not seen an army that can defeat the enemy while fighting among themselves. The one who wins, now, we all have only one goal, and that is to defeat the rebels and worship the generals, don't we?"

Obviously, Liu Bei played a role in bridging the contradictions between the two parties.

Liu Bei put on his clothes again and looked at Zhang Wen.

Revenge on him was not a short-term matter, Liu Bei did not continue to pay attention to Huangfusong, he put his energy into the current battle situation.

And more importantly, Liu Bei's upper body has many scars, including scars from swords and arrows, which shows that Liu Bei has committed dangerous fights and was injured many times.

"So, I'm relieved."

Zhang Wen seemed to have settled his mind, showed a clear smile, and patted Liu Bei on the shoulder: "In this case, I will focus on using you and your subordinates, Xuande, the battlefield is dangerous, so be careful. If things don’t work out, don’t force them.”

"Thank you, General."

Liu Bei saluted Zhang Wen.
