Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 331 Shu Han ([-])
"Mr. Xuande is going to Xuzhou?" Wang Kuan, the governor of Qingzhou, asked Liu Bei reluctantly.

Before Liu Bei left, he also paid a special visit to the newly appointed governor of Qingzhou, Wang Kuan.

"Emissary Tao asked for help and had no choice but to go." Liu Bei said respectfully.

"Qingzhou cannot do without Duke Xuande!" Wang Kuan also wanted to keep Liu Bei in Qingzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban Army.

Here in Qingzhou, Liu Bei was the only one who could defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Rotten Confucians such as Kong Rong often served as the captain of the transport brigade. With the same number of people, the regular army could still lose to the Yellow Turban Army.

Although the Wang family was able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, but the Wang family did not want to waste their own strength to suppress the rebels of the imperial court, that would be a bit too selfless.

If Liu Bei leaves Qingzhou, it will be troublesome if the yellow turban bandits continue to make trouble in the future.

"..." Liu Bei naturally knew that the royal family of Liaodong just wanted to keep him to suppress the peasant uprising army in Qingzhou. , Mr. Tao has been kind to me, Liu Bei, but now that Mr. Tao is in trouble, how can I, Liu Bei, not save him?"

When he first arrived in Qingzhou, it was not without wishful thinking that Liu Bei wanted the royal family of Liaodong to assist him.

Especially after the Wang family of Liaodong took the initiative to get him the position of the prefect of Liaodong, he even felt wishful thinking that this was the Wang family of Liaodong wanting to invest in him. At that time, he already felt that he was going to become the second Liu Xiu.

But obviously, the Wang family believed that the most prestigious Yuan family had the opportunity to unify the world from beginning to end, and they just used Liu Bei simply.

There is no benevolence and righteousness in business. Although I know that the Wang family looks down on him and Liu Bei, it is impossible to really assist him, but cooperate with each other on weekdays. I will capture craftsmen for you, and you will give me food, grass, weapons and equipment. Everyone is mutually beneficial and win-win.

"My Majesty, Liu Bei is leaving." After another round of courtesies, Liu Bei still left.

After Liu Bei left the Governor's Mansion, the red-faced Guan Yu frowned and said, "Brother, why should you be so polite to these pedantic scholars? They have read many sage books, but they are all pedantic people."

"This world, after all, is still the world of the gentry, alas..." Liu Bei shook his head and persuaded Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, when we travel the world, we should not only look at people's pedantry, but also see the fame and family behind them. background."

"Brother, the soldiers and horses are all mobilized, we can... um... vomit... let's go!" At this time, Zhang Fei, who was drunk, came to Liu Bei, holding a bloody whip in his hand.

"Yide, are you drinking and beating the soldiers again? How many times have I told you that excessive drinking is not allowed, let alone beating the soldiers at will!" Liu Bei reprimanded Zhang Fei: "If you continue like this, sooner or later something will happen to you!"

After years of getting along, the relationship between the three is getting better and better, and they are already like brothers.

"Brother, those little soldiers were lazy during training. I slapped him, but he was still unconvinced and dared to talk back. I couldn't bear it, so I whipped him a few times... Vomit!" , Zhang Fei vomited a few mouthfuls of wine again.

"How many whips can be whipped so that the whip is covered with blood?" Liu Bei didn't believe it, so he came to the barracks, and saw that a soldier had been whipped to death.

"Yide! From today onwards, you are not allowed to drink alcohol!" Liu Bei was furious, because the soldiers were lazy during the training and directly beat the opponent to death. What is this?Are you not afraid of soldiers mutiny during the war?
"What?!" Zhang Fei was shocked. His drunkenness dissipated a lot. He loved drinking alcohol the most in his life. Forbidding him to drink alcohol is like forbidding Cao Cao to abduct other people's wives and daughters. It is torture.

"Third Brother, listen to what Big Brother said. You really did go too far. The soldiers are lazy. You just have to whip two or three whips to teach them a lesson. How can you beat people to death?" Little people, but have an inexplicable arrogance towards those big people.

After Zhang Fei was fully awake, Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to personally apologize to the family of the soldier who was beaten to death, and then gave some pensions as compensation, which was considered to eliminate the dissatisfaction of the soldiers in the army.

The soldiers all praised Liu Bei for his benevolence and righteousness, and he is a good hero worth following.

another month later

Xuzhou
Tan County
"Xuande, sit down quickly! Haha!" Xuzhou Mu Taoqian looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally Liu Bei came, so he happily greeted Liu Bei: "I haven't seen you for many years, Xuande is still as bright as before."

"It's all my fault, Liu Bei, that I haven't visited the envoy for many years." Liu Bei also respectfully returned the salute.

"With the help of Xuande and Mr. Wenju, Xuzhou is saved, and we don't need to be afraid of Cao Cao." Tao Qian couldn't wait to ask Liu Bei and Kong Rong, "I wonder how many soldiers Xuande and Mr. Wenju brought? "

"Three thousand pawns." Kong Rong replied.

"One thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry." Liu Bei replied.

"Six thousand troops! Good! Good!" Tao Qian was overjoyed. With the six thousand reinforcements and his eight thousand troops, there would be [-] soldiers. He didn't have to be afraid of Cao Cao's siege.

"May I ask the envoy, where is Cao Cao looting now?" Liu Bei asked.

"Cao Cao tried to capture Tancheng, but failed, so he bypassed Tancheng and ran to Langya County to plunder." Tao Qian said sadly. With his strength, he could barely defend the city, but if he wanted to It is too difficult to go out of the city to prevent Cao Cao from looting.

Field battles and city defense battles are not the same concept.

Wei Qing is a master of field warfare, and Li Guang is a master of city defense.

For two armies with the same strength, a 1000-man army can barely resist a 1-man siege, but a 1000-man army cannot even defeat 2000 men in a field battle.

Most of Xuzhou was plundered by Cao's army, and the Zhuge family in Langya County fled to Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the south because of this.

In this looting, hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou people were slaughtered by Cao Jun.

There are still hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, which is simply appalling.

"It's not too late. While Cao Jun is busy transporting the looted materials, we block them in Langya County, prevent them from returning to Yanzhou, and give Cao Jun a closed door to beat the dog." Liu Bei suggested.

"Xuande, Cao Cao has an army of [-]!" Tao Qian said in despair.

He also wanted to block it, but he didn't have the strength.

"Eh..." Liu Bei thought about it, and finally said: "Then I can only follow Cao Jun and find an opportunity to encircle and suppress a single Cao Jun."

"That's the only way to go." Tao Qian approved the battle plan.

Tao Qian was also very anxious. Since Cao Cao recruited a million Yellow Turbans, his strength has rapidly expanded. It feels like the whole of Xuzhou will be taken away by Cao Cao in a few years.

For Cao Cao, the million Yellow Turbans are both a challenge and an opportunity. Risks and opportunities coexist.

If it is handled well, there will be 100 million more ordinary people who pay taxes. If it is not handled well, there will be 100 million more rebels.

Obviously, Cao Cao is dealing with it, and he is handling it well, otherwise it is impossible to explain why Cao Cao had only [-] troops a few months ago, and now he has [-] troops in just a few months.

The price paid by the millions of Yellow Turbans is that hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou people have become lonely ghosts.
