Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 189: Nanjie Lukang, Zheng Ping's Long-distance Strategy

Zhang Miao looked at Zhang Chao with more resentment in his eyes, as if he was asking Zhang Chao: Dian Wei has the ability to chase tigers across the mountain, why didn't I hear you say it?
Zhang Chao was also very helpless.

Who knew that his elder brother would be so rich, he really sent Dian Wei away as a tough soldier.

Chase the tiger across the stream!
From now on, after supporting Zang Hong as the governor of Yanzhou, it will be a matter of time before Dian Wei is promoted to general with his ability.

result now
Cao Cao was also speechless.

A warrior who can chase a tiger across a stream was so easily given away by Zhang Miao.

Looking at Liu Bei's seemingly humble tone, I don't know how happy I am in my heart.

"If I become the governor of Yanzhou, this Dian Wei may be transferred to my command."

"It's a pity, the warrior who chased the tiger across the stream!"

Cao Cao sighed secretly.

Thinking of Dianwei returning to Liu Bei, Cao Cao was envious and jealous.

Liu Bei didn't care what Zhang Miao and others thought.

Since Zhang Miao agreed, it was impossible to go back on his word.

After all, Liu Bei had to send a letter to Liu Chong recommending Cao Cao to be the prefect of Yingchuan, and after Cao Cao won the prefect of Yingchuan, he would not prevent Zang Hong from being the governor of Yanzhou. Zang Hong became the governor of Yanzhou, which in turn was beneficial to Qingzhou.

This chain is all about the replacement of interests.

The envoy sent by Liu Bei to Chen Guo returned quickly.

The reason for persuading Liu Chong to let Cao Cao be the prefect of Yingchuan is simple: Cao Cao can fight, and he is an enemy with Yuan Shu.

With this reason, Liu Chong naturally would not refuse to let Cao Cao be the prefect of Yingchuan.

After all, Yingchuan belongs to Yuzhou in name, but is actually controlled by Yuan Shu.

Since someone is willing to wipe out the remaining Yuan Shu forces in Yingchuan County for Liu Chong, Liu Chong is naturally so happy that he can sell Liu Bei a favor.

After receiving the seal and appointment from the prefect of Yingchuan, Cao Cao gave up Dongjun and directly sent his army to Yingchuan County.

The prefect of Dongjun recommended by Yuan Shao is just a false post, which is not recognized by the emperor.

However, Liu Chong is the shepherd of Yuzhou appointed by the imperial court, and has the power to appoint the prefects of the counties and states in Yuzhou, so the appointment of the prefect of Yingchuan is naturally a full-time job!

At this point, Cao Cao has really benefited!
Cao Cao gave up Dongjun, and Zhang Miao directly asked Zhang Chao to temporarily lead the governor of Dongjun. He also sent a letter to Li Zan, Prime Minister of Dongping, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei, and Ying Shao, Prefect of Taishan, to support Zang Hong as the governor of Yanzhou.

With Liu Bei's message, Ying Shao agreed without thinking too much.

And Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, also received a letter from Cao Cao, agreeing to Zang Hong as the governor of Yanzhou.

Liu Dai was captured, and Li Zan of Dongping County naturally did not dare to refute.

For Li Zan, it doesn't matter whoever is the governor, anyway, he just obeys orders.

Although Rencheng Prime Minister Tang Rui was Liu Dai's confidant, but Liu Dai was captured, Wang Yu was beheaded, and Li Zan expressed his support for Zang Hong, Tang Rui could only send a letter to express his support.

Except for Yuan Xu, the prefect of Jiyin County, and Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang County, the eight prefectures of Yanzhou had no objection to Zang Hong's appointment as governor of Yanzhou.

Yuan Yi and Yuan Xu didn't dare to make a decision lightly, so they hurriedly sent people to send the news to Yecheng.

And on the other side.

Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue falsely claimed that the Xiliang Army sent troops on purpose. Although they avoided the bad luck of being killed along with Yuan Shu, they were surprised by Li Jue and Guo Si.

Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue deserve it too.

If it was just Li Jue and Guo Si, they would still be able to retreat, but Huangfusong came to Hulao Pass.

This is not a merciful Lord!
Under Huangfusong's precise deployment, Gongsun Yue was beheaded by Li Jue, and only Gongsun Fan escaped by chance.

Since Yuan Shu's defeat was too fast, it was difficult for Huangfusong to intervene.

After beheading Gongsun Yue, Huangfu Song ordered Li Jue and Guo Si to retreat to Hulao Pass, and passed the information of Yuan Shu's defeat back to Chang'an.

the other side.

Yuan Shu entered the jungle by a small road, and fled back to Luyang in a dangerous way.

After eating and sleeping in the open air all the way, defeating the army and losing the jade seal of the uploaded country, Yuan Shu contracted a cold after returning to Luyang and fell ill immediately.

This frightened Yuan Yao, Yuan Yin, Yuan Si, Ji Ling and others.

Yuan Shu's defeat in this battle was too miserable!

Son-in-law Huang Yi, generals Zhang Xun, Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, Han Yin and others are all missing.

Fleeing back to Luyang alone, he caught wind and cold.

"Young Master Yao, why don't you call General Sun back?" Yan Xiang suggested, "Duke Ming is newly defeated. There must be a large army coming to attack Luyang. Only General Sun Jian can fight against it."

Yuan Shucong's younger brother Yuan Yin shook his head and said, "No! My brother has been defeated and all the generals have not returned. If Sun Jian is allowed to return to Luyang, he may have a second heart."

"Luyang still has General Ji Ling and [-] soldiers and horses, which are enough to resist the invading enemy."

"Let's wait for brother to recover first."

But before Yuan Shu could recover, there was news of Cao Cao's attack on Yingchuan from the direction of Xuchang.

Cao Cao even used the banner of the prefect of Yingchuan to visit the powerful nobles of Yingchuan along the way!
In just half a month, most of the powerful gentry in Yingchuan County chose to attach themselves to Cao Cao.

"Cao Agui!"

Yuan Shu was so angry that he almost rolled off the hospital bed.

When he was in Fengqiu City, Cao Cao was still the prefect of Dongjun, but now he has become the prefect of Yingchuan.

This intention is already obvious!
Cao Cao wants to kill them all, seize Yingchuan, and may even take the opportunity to seize the entire Yuzhou!

"Prepare for battle!"

"I'm going to kill Cao Aman."

Yuan Shu was aggressive, but Yuan Yao, Yuan Yin and others were terrified.

Yuan Yao quickly persuaded: "Father, don't! Cao Cao's attack is fierce, and our army is invincible! It's better to abandon Luyang temporarily, go to Runan to defend, and then transfer Sun Jian from Wancheng back to resist Cao Cao!"

Call Sun Jian?
Yuan Shu frowned suddenly.

Sun Jian is different from Ji Ling and others, because Yuan Shu can give enough benefits to choose to attach.

Yuan Shu's defeat is too miserable now, whether Sun Jian will obey his orders is open to question.

But Yuan Yao's remonstrance is also correct. Now that Yuan Shuxin is defeated, and Lu Yang's five thousand soldiers are not elite, it is difficult to resist Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu's eyes were uncertain.

In the end, Yuan Shu still issued the order to transfer Sun Jian back.

Wancheng can be surrendered to Liu Biao, but Cao Cao cannot occupy Yingchuan.

"Damn Cao Mengde, hateful Liu Xuande, this account will be settled with you sooner or later!" Yuan Shu swore, hating Cao Cao and Liu Bei to the extreme.

At this time, Liu Bei returned to Qingzhou happily.

Although Liu Bei regretted that Lu Zhi went to Chang'an, this trip to Qingzhou, except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Tian Yu, Zhang Hong and Liu Yan who had originally served in Qingzhou.

He also won the three generals Qu Yi, Dian Wei and Chen Dao.

Although Chen Dao was a surrendered general, Liu Bei chatted with Chen Dao, and suddenly felt that Chen Dao was extraordinary.

Not only did Chen Dao have similar ideas to Liu Bei's in dealing with the common people, but Chen Dao also had a lot of experience in military training.

Zheng Ping didn't expect that he would get two strong generals who could serve as personal guard commanders.

So Zheng Ping and Liu Bei decided to put Chen Dao, who is good at training soldiers, under Guan Hai's command temporarily, and train the guards first to see the effect.

And Dian Wei was incorporated into Qingzhou Ruishi.

Zhang Fei was the chief general of Qingzhou Ruishi, Dian Wei was the deputy general, Zhang Hong was the military adviser, and Man Chong was the army officer. At the same time, a deputy general was reserved for Yu Jin, who was training in Linzi City.

With Dian Wei, a fierce general who is good at charging and attacking, Zhang Fei can devote more energy to sharpening his troops.

Liu Bei can't just have Guan Yu to lead the army, Zhang Fei is also needed to lead the army.

Only by building up the soldiers and horses of the direct line first can we better use the soldiers and horses of the non-direct line.

Seeing that Dian Wei became Zhang Fei's lieutenant general, and Zhang Fei was in charge of the Qingzhou Ruishi Battalion, Guan Yu couldn't sit still.

"Brother, the first to enter the camp has made a lot of contributions among the diligent kings this time, but there are less than [-] remaining soldiers from the first camp."

"Brother Yu intends to integrate King Qin's troops this time, and expand Xiandeng's camp to 2000 people."

"Use General Koji as deputy, don't fall in the name of being the first to ascend!"

Qu Yi got up excitedly and stood behind Guan Yu.

Guan Yu has been thinking about the idea of ​​expanding the first camp for a long time, and has discussed it with Qu Yi many times.
Different from the original first boarding camp, the new first boarding camp needs to add cavalry and combine infantry and cavalry to form an army.

However, the slogan of "Dare to advance before the mountain of swords, and the sea of ​​​​fire will never recede; every battle must be the first, and death will never follow" is still used.

No matter how many times the weapons, armor, weapons, mounts, or soldiers who boarded the camp first have been replaced, the slogan of boarding the camp first cannot be changed!
This is also the main reason why Qu Yi is willing to be Guan Yu's deputy!
Not only the life-and-death friendship on the battlefield in the past, but also the respect Guan Yu gave, made Qu Yi willing to die for Guan Yu!
Liu Bei did not refuse Guan Yu's request.

So Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to be the chief general of the first camp, and Qu Yi and Tian Yu to be the deputy generals of the first camp, one in charge of the infantry and the other in charge of the cavalry.

However, Liu Bei had some difficulties regarding the selection of military advisers and military officers.

"Xianmou, Yun Chang is brave, General Qu and Guo Rang are also brave fighters, but there is no military adviser to assist them in the first camp, is there anyone who can recommend them?" Liu Bei asked in a low voice.

Zheng Ping said in a low voice: "Brother Yuanlong helped Yunchang to make suggestions before, but he returned to Xuzhou halfway. Brother Yuanlong has the spirit of lakes and seas. Unlike ordinary scholars, he gets along quite well with Yunchang."

"It's better to leave a place for Chen Yuanlong for now."

Liu Bei's tone was regretful: "Mr. Yuanlong is indeed feasible to serve as the military adviser of Xiandengying. It's a pity that Mr. Yuanlong served as a lieutenant in Diannong School in Xuzhou, and Tao Shijun may not be willing to second him."

Zheng Ping said again: "Lu Zijing is versatile in civil and military affairs, but he is young and energetic, and needs to be sharpened. You can temporarily let Lu Zijing take up the post of Xiandengying military adviser, and let Yun Chang give a good spur."

"If Ah Liang is older, he can be sent to camp first."

"Only after being sharpened can a good man truly understand: what is the danger of war!"

Liu Bei understood: "Under Master Lu's teaching, Yun Chang has made great progress in both literature and martial arts, and with the experience of these few expeditions, it may not be possible for a talented person with no battlefield experience to show his skills under Yun Chang's command. "

"With Yun Chang's encouragement, it can also prevent these outstanding talents from exaggerating and making the mistake of talking on paper."

After whispering, Liu Bei and Zheng Ping prepared a famous inspector for the outstanding talents in Qingzhou, especially the youths and teenagers who wanted to make achievements in martial arts.

If you can only talk on paper and go to Guan Yu's first camp, not only will you not be able to endure the hardships of training, but you will also be severely hit by Guan Yu in terms of martial arts!
Ruishiying and Xiandengying successively appointed the chief general and deputy general, and Tai Shici couldn't sit still.

"Your Majesty, Qingzhou has the Ruishi Battalion and Xiandeng Battalion in land warfare, but Qingzhou's water warfare soldiers are scarce."

"Guan Cheng, a water thief in Donglai County, is proud of his water warfare, and he is quite dissatisfied with the envoy."

"The previous conquests against Guan Cheng were unfavorable, because Guan Cheng relied on his proficiency in water warfare and was able to come and go freely in the coastal waters."

"The last general has a lot of research on water warfare, and is willing to form a sailor for the envoy to wipe out the water thieves along the coast of Qingzhou! In the future, he can also fight in all directions."

While pleading for Liu Bei's order, Tai Shici's gaze was also signaling to Zheng Ping.

"But most of the docks in Qingzhou are destroyed. Although I want to form a sailor, I suffer from no boats." Liu Bei was in trouble immediately.

In Qingzhou this year, it was too late to solve food and clothing, let alone spend a lot of manpower and material resources to restore the dock.

Liu Bei looked at Zheng Ping with a questioning look in his eyes.

After all, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already made arrangements, so they couldn't dampen Tai Shici's enthusiasm.

There is also a soldier in Linzi City who is engaged in recruiting and also needs to train soldiers. Liu Bei suddenly felt a headache.

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly, and gave a solution without hesitation: "Ziyi, there is no dock in Qingzhou at present. If you want to form a navy, you have to find a way elsewhere."

"When I traveled to Lujiang County in the past, I visited Lord Ji Ning, the prefect of Lujiang County. Ji Ninggong is a descendant of the Lu family in Wu County, and he is quite famous in the local area."

"After Dong Zhuo moved west to the emperor and entered Chang'an, Duke Ji Ning took the risk of sending Xiaolian to pay tribute to the court, and was named General Loyalty, with a rank of two thousand stones, and a status comparable to that of Jiuqing."

"Go to Lujiang County for me and send a letter to Duke Ning, saying that my father has recently accepted a young genius with a double surname Zhuge and a single name. He is only two years older than Duke Ning's grandson, but It is not inferior to the weak crown talent."

"If Duke Ning wants to, he can send Lu Yi to study in Qingzhou."

"With the help of Lord Ji Ning, some powerful nobles in Wujun who have docks will sell a batch of warships to Qingzhou on credit."

Tai Shici was taken aback: "Although Lord Kang Cheng is a famous official in the world, will Lord Ji Ning really let the powerful nobles with docks in Wu County sell warships on credit for a place to study?"

Zheng Ping chuckled: "It's definitely not enough to have only one quota, but what if the powerful nobles who sell warships on credit all have quotas?"

Everyone's expressions suddenly became weird.

Zhang Fei couldn't help it anymore: "Mr. Xianmou, aren't you afraid to tire Kang Chenggong? Besides, is Kang Chenggong really willing to recruit so many disciples?"

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan lightly: "Yide, as the saying goes, there is no better way to know a father than a son. My father only wants to spread the word, receive karma and solve doubts. As a son, I will find some young heroes for him to inherit Zheng learning. Would my father not be happy?"

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.

Liu Bei already understood Zheng Ping's intentions.

If you just buy warships on credit, you don't necessarily have to go to Wu County, Xuzhou can also buy on credit.

Zheng Ping's real purpose was to use the name of Zheng Xuan's acceptance of disciples to let some of the noble families in Wu County come to Qingzhou.

This son of a wealthy family came to Qingzhou to study, and Liu Bei, as the shepherd of Qingzhou, shouldn't he express it?

"Ziyi, you have worked hard, go to Yangzhou." Liu Bei's eyes were full of joy.

Warships are second, and making friends with powerful nobles in Yangzhou is the most important!
Especially Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, is a loyal general who is loyal to the imperial court. He is better than Jiuqing, so he can be cited as foreign aid!
　It turns out that Lu Xun was called Lu Yi before he changed his name, but this has been changed.
