Xuande

Chapter 214
When the matter reached this point, Liu Bei knew what he was going to face next.

So after returning to his barracks, Liu Bei summoned all the officers and civilians under his command, held a military meeting with them, and announced to them the possible hard battles that would follow, so that they could prepare more.

Some of the subordinates were very excited, happy that they were able to make great achievements, while some looked worried, and obviously had more other considerations.

After the meeting, Guan Yu expressed concern about the matter, and approached Liu Bei to persuade him not to take risks himself, and not to lead troops to charge in person.

"Brother always likes to take the lead in battles in the past. This can certainly boost morale, but the meaning of the chief general is to command and issue orders, and it is also the focus of the entire army. If there is a mistake, the consequences will be very serious, so the elder brother must not go to the battle in person."

Obviously, Guan Yu understood Liu Bei's habit of taking the lead in charging and fighting. After all, they are good brothers who have fought side by side for many years.

Liu Bei smiled happily as he looked at Guan Yu, who had become more imposing and stronger during this period of time.

"I'm very happy if Yun Chang has such a heart. Don't worry, I won't personally risk it."

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei suspiciously.

"really?"

The old people who follow him also need his care and love.

Guan Yu seemed very confident.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Liu Bei reflected on what he had done in the past period of time, and found that he was indeed a little bit cold towards the first group of old people who followed him, and put more energy on the newcomers body.

"Wei! Yu will not disgrace his life!"

They plan to buy property in some places in Shuzhong or Jingzhou, and live incognito.

No, less than a month after the army arrived in Meiyang, Liu Bei received a report from Han Hao, who helped with logistics affairs, and reported to Zhang Wen the three food managers of the army who were guarding and stealing.

He is tall and hard!
The soldiers in Liangzhou are indeed fierce. The Han people and Qiang people in Liangzhou are just like what Dong Huang said, they are passive natural fighters. Even so, they are also human beings who can be injured, bleed, and be afraid!
In the competition of who is less afraid of death, Liu Xuande has never lost to anyone!

Well, showing a warm man's heart from Big Brother can sometimes have a very good effect, and asking for warmth is sometimes as good as real money.

"Even if I'm in the army, I will never ignore the elder brother's matter, and so does Yide."

So Liu Bei decided to become the number one warm man in the Han Dynasty. In addition to benefits, he also used emotions to connect everyone's hearts together. With a warm man's heart, he warmed everyone and increased their loyalty.

Although politicians should avoid being interfered with rational judgment by emotions, emotion itself is also a sharp weapon for politicians. If used well, it will be more effective than real money.

"You can see that Yide won't be nervous. Anyway, I have been trained for many years, and I am not a novice."

"You don't even believe your elder brother?"

Zhang Wen was so annoyed that he ordered the beheading of the three men on the spot.

"In this battle, I am willing to cut off the head of a thief general for my brother!"

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly.

Then he thought of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the big dog Zhang Miao, the little old man Zheng Xuan and the old senior Cai Yong, and felt that it was necessary to write letters to them as well.

"Yes, Yunchang has grown up."

So this big man's number one warm man, he must be it!
After the emotional exchange is over, the rest depends on hard power. In this regard, Liu Bei has full confidence in himself.

But apart from his family, there are many people who deserve his warmth.

Needless to say, although the Liangzhou rebels are far inferior to the regular Han army in terms of logistical capabilities and war potential, they are almost fearless in terms of courage.

However, due to a series of internal contradictions, the Han army lacked the opportunity to fully exert its strength.

It wasn't that Zhang Wen completely took the initiative in this battle, because after the rebel army scouted the movement of the Han army, they also asked for reinforcements. A large number of rebel reinforcements arrived at the front line of Meiyang, and it seemed that they planned to face the Han army face to face. Let's see who is tougher.

Guan Yu nodded immediately.

Taking care of newcomers in every possible way and attracting them a lot, but not worrying too much about the elderly, this is not the behavior that a qualified leader should have. For a leader, this is dereliction of duty.

"For others, maybe they have some skills, but in front of me, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs, who are the first to sell their labels!"

Guan Yu's mood obviously rose.

On the sixth day of September in the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Wen's first official battle since taking over as commander-in-chief was about to begin.

Liu Bei has always believed in this point.

Liu Bei was amused.

Guan Yu blushed, stroked his sizable beard, and left Liu Bei's military tent with big strides to get ready.

How can you be bothered to do such a good thing that is cheap and does not cost money?

"Since that's the case, then I'll just wait for Yun Chang to dedicate a thief general's head to me."

When he wrote letters before, he only wrote rather nasty love letters to Han Ning and Han Xiaodie, and then he wrote greeting letters to his father-in-law, mother-in-law and his own mother.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei summoned Zhang Fei one after another, had some conversations with him, and greeted him with a warm heart, so Zhang Fei's obvious emotions increased.

Liu Bei liked his confidence very much.

Then they were even ready to get together and run south of the Yangtze River after reselling the military rations in exchange for wealth.

Guan Yu smiled wryly and said: "It didn't matter in the past, but today, big brother is obviously different from the past, more and more people rely on big brother's power to gain a foothold in Luoyang, big brother's status is completely different from the past, big brother must Cherish yourself."

They actually got in touch with some local forces in Youfufeng in a very short period of time, expressing their willingness to sell military rations to the local forces at a lower price in exchange for wealth.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Bei wrote another letter to Ji Jian who was looking after his house in Youzhou, expressing his concern for him.

"Although the bandits in Liangzhou are arrogant, they are all capable. To survive and stand out in a place like Liangzhou, it is necessary to be fierce and good at fighting. Does Yunchang have confidence?"

"Hahahahahaha, very good, very good."

The Liangzhou rebels seemed determined to take root in Youfufeng, and they were full of interest in this important area dotted with the imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty.

"Big brother said something like this before, but every time he took the risk himself, so I was very nervous every time."

After writing this letter, Liu Bei thought of Lu Zhi again, of Qianzhao, of Liu Yong and Liu Sheng, and of a group of subordinates who were helping Lu Zhi, so he decided to write a letter to them all at once. , sent a group of warm greetings from the warm man.

Liu Bei hugged Guan Yu affectionately, and then said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Yun Chang, you are the first to follow me. You have never ignored me, and I will never ignore you. I will always watch you."

Liu Bei looked Guan Yu up and down, and nodded with great interest.

"Yide is like a madman on the battlefield."

And although the logistics of the Han army is stronger, no one can say for sure about internal attrition.

But for the local forces, it seems that because one of the families has some relationship with the eunuchs in Luoyang City, Zhang Wen is very cautious, so he really can't deal with it, so he can only send someone to reprimand the matter.

How long has it been since someone has stolen and sold military rations?
And the coach can't punish the mastermind severely?

After this incident spread in the army, the soldiers discussed it a lot, and the generals of various ministries also complained about it. Zhang Wen's situation was rather embarrassing.

Zhang Wen was wary, but Liu Bei didn't care about these things.
