Xuande

Chapter 227 Next, Wentai still needs to work hard
Later, Liu Bei fell asleep in the barracks and felt hungry, so he asked his subordinates to roast mutton to eat.

He was gnawing on a roasted leg of lamb in his arms, and as he gnawed, he learned that Sun Jian wanted to come to see him.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, nodded and told the guards to let Sun Jian in.

Sun Jian was allowed to enter Liu Bei's military tent, and he saw Liu Bei chewing mutton with puffed cheeks, looking at him with a smile while chewing, and asked him to sit down.

He felt at ease, and felt that Liu Bei's attitude was not bad, and it was still the same as before.

Then he expressed his purpose.

"Before I heard that it was your suggestion that made me leave the city of Yuzhong and pay for the transportation of grain and fodder. Therefore, I have made a contribution. I would like to thank you."

"Thank me?"

Liu Bei swallowed a big mouthful of mutton, laughed and said: "I thought you were going to blame me for letting you leave the front line. At that time, it was true that you were the only thing that was most suitable for protecting the grain road. I don't worry about changing anyone else. Wentai doesn't blame me. Just fine."

Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, after Cheng Pu was injured and left the front line, he began to regret it.

At that time, at least one-fifth of the Jiangdong soldiers he brought was lost, and more than half were injured. The loss was very serious. Although the soldiers didn't say anything, he could feel the resentment towards him.

On the one hand, he hated Zhou Shen for not listening to his advice and insisted on storming the city. On the other hand, he regretted that he chose to follow Zhou Shen to the front to fight. If he had been following Liu Bei, maybe the result would not have been like this.

Seeing that the loss of troops would be unsustainable, he regretted more and more, and even thought of going to plead with Zhou Shen, but suddenly news came that he was transferred to lead a team to protect the army's logistics and food roads. Great danger.

Liu Bei recommended him to protect the grain road, and Liu Bei directly led troops to cut off the rebel grain road.

Sun Jian was in a daze for a long time, and it took him a long time to react. It seemed that Liu Bei helped him again, and he was grateful. See if you can salvage the situation.

Zhou Shen is not a good person, but Liu Bei is the most reliable.

If you can continue to follow Liu Bei, it is obviously the best ending.

This time Liu Bei has made great achievements again. In the future, he will definitely increase his rank and rank, and his power will be even greater. Following him, the benefits will only be more, not less.

Wanting to understand this, Sun Jian couldn't wait to visit Liu Bei.

"How could Jian blame you? You have a great kindness to Jian. Jian will never forget these things. Mr. Zhu also said that your future is limitless. In the future, whenever you are driven, Jian will do his best to do it for you." !"

Liu Bei chuckled.

What's the point of moving out Zhu Jun at this time?What are your thoughts?If Zhu Jun finds out what this old brat did before, he doesn't know how to beat you!
But that's okay, his previous actions at least let Liu Bei confirm that this tiger is a ruthless tiger, and the danger of staying by his side is too great, let it be left to Yuan Shu.

So Liu Bei smiled and said to Sun Jian: "Right now, you are still a subordinate of General Zhou, and you have to listen to General Zhou's orders. If you lose this battle, everything is fake. Next, Wentai still needs to work hard."

"That...that's natural!"

For a while, Sun Jian didn't know whether Liu Bei agreed to him.

But seeing Liu Bei started to gobble up the mutton again, he felt that he should not stay here to disturb Liu Bei's meal.

So he got up and left.

Looking at the back of Sun Jian leaving, Liu Bei smiled coldly, left him behind, and stopped paying attention.

Zhou Shen and Liu Bei won the battle of Yuzhong City on one side, and on the other hand, because of the great activity of Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun, Dong Zhuo's battlefield is also progressing well.

The Han army drove out the Liangzhou rebels who invaded Hanyang County in one go, and took advantage of the opportunity to invade Longxi County, which had been ravaged by Liangzhou rebels for a long time.

However, the duty of Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun is to ensure the safety of the food roads. After Wangyuan won the first battle, the two of them had a discussion. When they talked about Liu Bei's arrangement, they calmly retreated from the front line and let Dong Zhuo continue to lead the troops. Moving forward, they continued to secure the logistical road.

This made Dong Zhuo treat Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun differently.

Dong Zhuo felt that Liu Bei was really good at disciplining his subordinates. From this point of view, letting Dong Huang follow Liu Bei was really a good choice.

As a result, the western front has made considerable progress. The Han army and the Liangzhou rebels have entered a state of strategic confrontation in Longxi County. Both sides are accumulating strength and preparing for the next big battle.

On the other side, on the battlefield in Wudu County, Bao Hong's progress was relatively limited, and Zhang Fei, who was protecting the logistics transportation route for Bao Hong, didn't get any chances.

Compared with the other two battlefields, Wudu battlefield is indeed inferior.

However, it is a great joy for Zhang Wen to achieve the current progress.

Especially when the battle situation took a turn for the worse, thanks to the activeness of Liu Bei and his subordinates, the Han army turned the tide of the battle, successfully wounded the Liangzhou rebels, won a precious victory, and established an advantageous situation in Liangzhou. This is very rare. .

What made Zhang Wen even more gratified was that the prestige of the central army in Liangzhou was gradually established because of the successive victories in this battle.

When Zhang Wen led his army to Zhiji County, Liangzhou Prefecture, Gai Xun, the new prefect of Hanyang and a native of Liangzhou, also came to visit Zhang Wen and brought a lot of condolences to the army. Impact.

The rebel army was weak, while the Han army was strong. The local forces in Liangzhou, which had been biased towards the rebel army as a whole after the defeat of the Han army, began to waver again.

This is a good trend.

Zhang Wen was very happy. He drank and chatted with Gai Xun. During the chat, they talked about the key heroes of this war and the next situation.

"This battle, without Xuande, definitely wouldn't be where it is today. The previous battle in Youfufeng was relatively smooth, but after arriving in Liangzhou, the battle was difficult, and I was almost defeated. If it wasn't for Xuande's efforts to turn the tide, at this moment we I don't know if he has been loaded into a prison van and brought back to Luoyang for interrogation."

Zhang Wen drank a few sips of wine, and when the conversation started, he began to praise Liu Bei, and raised Liu Bei's importance to a very high level.

Gai Xun had heard about Liu Bei's reputation, and knew that he was a man of influence in Luoyang City, but he didn't know much about Liu Bei's specific abilities.

After Zhang Wen's explanation, Gai Xun realized that Liu Bei not only had great achievements in academics, but was even a hardcore macho on the battlefield.

In a very dangerous situation, he dared to take the risk himself, and fought bloody battles on the front line. He never flinched because he was the future leader of the family. Help Zhou Shen defeat the rebels.

In Gai Xun's view, it is rare for such a son of a thousand gold to dare to go to the battlefield, let alone dare to stand on the front line and fight an enemy twice as large as himself for more than ten days, setting a solid foundation for the Han army to completely wipe out the rebels in Yuzhong City. Make a lot of contributions and directly reverse the situation of the battle.

What a brave and fearless person.

Although he has never met, Gai Xun already has a very deep affection for Liu Bei.

After talking about Liu Bei for a while, the two began to talk about what happened next.

Now that the Han army has taken the initiative on the battlefield, it has severely damaged the main force of the rebel army, and the rebel army has fallen into decline. Next, the army will continue to march towards Jincheng County and Longxi County, and completely wipe out the rebel army entrenched in these two counties. Even if the Liangzhou rebellion is over.

Zhang Wen took back the dominance of Longxi County and Jincheng County as the criterion for victory in the battle, but Gai Xun didn't think so.

"Except for Longxi County and Jincheng County, there are also some Qianghu and powerful rebels in Anding County and Beidi County, and there are also a large number of rebels in Wuwei County to the north. If these people are not eliminated, they will be future troubles."

Hearing this, Zhang Wen was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"Mr. Gaifu, I won't hide it from you. I will tell you the truth. The order given to me by the imperial court is to wipe out all the rebels in Longxi County and Jincheng County. That's enough. Those who are small in scale and who have not blatantly rebelled against the imperial court are not within the scope of the imperial court's crusade."

PS: Last night I went to bed and had a dream. I dreamed that I was eating raw fried crab powder. I ate more than 50 pieces at a time. I was very moved after waking up, so I added a new chapter.
