Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 107: Deploy troops and sneak into Youzhou

Zhang Yan never thought that one day, the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command... would be able to weed!
farming!
Weeding! !

And take it seriously!

This is as incredible as a mouse appearing in a luxurious mansion, and it is not allowed to exist...

Is this the Yellow Turban Soldier that Zhang Yan recognized?
This... seems to be something wrong? !

Zhang Yan and Guan Hai looked at each other, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

Dumbly, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai stared blankly at the sight of the Yellow Turban soldiers sweating profusely as they pulled weeds, forgetting He Xian's company for a moment.

Zhang Yan and Guan Hai were fascinated by the fact that He Xian, the first bodyguard of His Highness, was so experienced that they did not forget to remind Zhang Yan and Guan Hai:

"Two generals, don't you go and see His Highness?"

"Your Highness...Master?" Zhang Yan said the last sentence very softly.

It turns out that calling His Highness "Lord" doesn't seem to be difficult, right?

Thinking about this, Zhang Yan was startled.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan withdrew her gaze and responded in unison with Guan Hai:

"——Then let's go?"

He Xian nodded and took Zhang Yan and Guan Hai into the study of Zhangwu County Magistrate's Mansion.

As soon as they stepped into the study room, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai looked like country bumpkins entering the city. Everything they saw was novel.Not to mention that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, He Miao, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were all great and small generals and counselors standing in the study. I just said that the house was clean. There is no shortage of everything that is needed, and there is no trace of abandonment at all.

"...Your Highness." Zhang Yan and Guan Hai bowed to Liu Bian in a polite manner.

Liu Bian waved his hand, indicating that Zhang Yan and Guan Hai didn't need to be polite.

Pointing his hand, Liu Bian pointed to a document on the desk and said, "Mr. He——"

Without changing his expression, He Xian stepped forward and picked up the document. His movements were not jerky at all, as if He Xian had been standing behind Liu Bian and had not left at all.

In the corner, Cao Ang's eyes flickered, and when he looked at He Xian, he unconsciously had a trace of envy in his eyes.

Originally, as newly arrived guard recruits, Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were not old enough or senior enough to enter the room and participate in the discussion. Fortunately, His Highness was quite open-minded and seemed to intend to cultivate Cao Ang and others... Therefore, Cao Ang's hand Make a fist and make up your mind:
You must grow up as soon as possible and become His Highness’s true right-hand man!

Compared with Cao Ang's awareness, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were slightly less enthusiastic: Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi stood silently in the most inconspicuous place, listening with low eyebrows to the conversation between His Highness and the adults.

"You hand this appointment document to General Zhang Yan." Liu Bian ordered.

He Xian handed the appointment document to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan said "I'm sorry" and couldn't wait to open the appointment document. After a quick look, she blurted out: "I...I am the magistrate of Zhangwu County?"

Guan Hai scratched his head and said, "Brother Zhang Yan, congratulations?"

Zhang Yan's expression was slightly complicated. She put away the appointment documents and saluted Liu Bian respectfully. She said in a deep voice: "I, Zhang, are not good at governing. Now that His Highness has handed over Zhangwu County to me, I... really feel guilty."

Liu Bian calmly said: "Didn't this king say it? It doesn't matter if you don't understand, this king will teach you by hand!
By the way, Magistrate Zhang..."

"——Here!" Zhang Fei agreed nonchalantly.

Liu Bian's mouth twitched: That's right!Zhang Fei's surname is Zhang, and he is the county magistrate of Yangxin... After clearing his throat, Liu Bian said to Zhang Fei: "County Magistrate Zhang Fei, please don't cause trouble."

Zhang Fei chuckled twice, showed an embarrassed smile, and took a step back obediently, indicating that he would no longer cause trouble.

Liu Bian then said to Zhang Yan: "Magistrate Zhang Yan, have you noticed the changes in the fields in Zhangwu County?"

Zhang Yan was startled for a moment, and unconsciously remembered the scene of the Yellow Turban soldiers pulling weeds together. Her eyelids twitched and she nodded silently.

Liu argued: "I'm not afraid of your jokes - soldiers who do not fight but engage in farming are called farming!"

Zhang Yan blinked.

Guan Hai said: "Your Highness, I have one thing to say, so that you won't be angry: It's winter now, and it's not suitable for farming at all! No matter how much wheat, rice, or millet you plant, you won't be able to survive at all!"

Liu argued: "So, let's plant some vegetables! For example, Chinese cabbage and radish - they are frost-resistant! They grow quickly! Moreover, this time we have prepared a lot of Chinese cabbage and radish seeds in our supplies! How many seeds can we plant now? God, if it’s winter and we’re short of food, we might as well spend the winter eating radishes and cabbage..."

Liu Bian spoke calmly, while Zhang Yan and Guan Hai listened attentively. They didn't feel there was any shame in eating cabbage and radish... I think back to a few years ago, when the north was in famine, not to mention cabbage and radish, even the bark of the tree was eaten. It's delicious, so why should I be picky?

On the contrary, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai were very happy and felt that growing cabbage or radish was indeed a good choice.

Liu Bian grinned and said: "As for the farming tools, you can write an IOU and get credit from Nanpi County. I will exempt Zhangwu County from taxes for three years. You can live in peace for now and don't think wildly."

Zhang Yan and Guan Hai didn't think much about it, but said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

With crooked eyes, Liu Bian was also very happy: As long as nothing happens, the prosperity of Zhangwu County is just around the corner.

While he was thinking about it, Liu Bian heard He Bai outside the room say:

"Your Highness, Liu Sheren, Mr. Jian Yong is back!"

"Oh? Mr. Xianhe is back?" Liu Bian's eyes lit up, he came to his senses and said quickly, "Why don't you invite Mr. Xianhe soon?"

"Here!" He Bai took the order.

When he was young, Jian Yong walked in the same way as usual, walking casually.

"I have met Your Highness." Jian Yong bowed to Liu Bian.

Liu argued: "Mr. Xianhe, what have you not gained?"

——I forgot to mention that long before Liu Bian led his troops into Zhangwu County, Liu Bian ordered Jian Yong to go to Youzhou again to find out the enemy's strength.Now that Jian Yong has returned safely, do you want to come...?
Smiling slightly, Jian Yong did not mince words and said loudly: "Your Highness, I found out... At present, the enemy in Youzhou is still the Yi tribe Karasuma! General Gongsun Zan always has a fixed strength of three thousand elite cavalry, even if General Gongsun Zan We are now in danger! As for the Karasuma Yi clan, their commander is Zhang Chun, with a total force of 10 troops, of which [-] are assault cavalry!
Your Highness, General Gongsun Zan is now trapped in Guanzicheng in western Liaoning. The situation is very dangerous. If you are not careful, Youzhou will be in danger. "

hiss!
After hearing this, everyone gasped: 10 enemy troops? !
Big, big money!
How many troops do Liu Bian and his team have? ——Excluding Zhang Yan’s 40 to 8000 Yellow Turban bandits, Liu Bian probably only has more than [-] infantrymen...

If you really want to fight head-on, I'm afraid it will be an egg smashed against a stone - obviously you will die!

How can this be done?

The strange thing is: instead of persuading Liu Bian not to enter the secluded place without authorization, everyone...

Tian Feng took a step forward and said first: "Don't worry, my lord! Even if Karasuma has a hundred thousand troops, he can't defeat General Gongsun Zan's [-] cavalry. This shows that Karasuma's combat power is also ordinary, so there is nothing to worry about."

Ju Shou said: "Brother Yuan Hao, no matter how bad Karasuma is, the strength of the army is there, even if each person spit, he can drown a person. Why do you despise the other party and make the lord careless?"

Tian Feng said: "Remember what I said before? - My lord, Karasuma is a Yi tribe. No matter how large the population is, it can't be much more! Correspondingly, if Karasuma has more troops, he must join forces with other Yi tribes." ! Therefore, although the number of enemy troops is large, they are numerous and chaotic, and the orders cannot be unified, so they cannot obtain high-speed and efficient execution... In my opinion, if His Highness uses a large amount of food to attract Karasuma's Pay attention, send another general to provoke and kill the opponent's leader, and the opponent will defeat itself. After all, the leader is dead, don't the people below really want to avenge the leader?"

After hearing Tian Feng's analysis, everyone was mesmerized and couldn't help but feel chilled in their hearts. They all looked at Tian Feng with terrifying eyes, making Tian Feng completely confused.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Tian Feng asked humbly.

Everyone shook their heads like rattles and said in unison: "You are right, you are right."

We were wrong!
——I really shouldn’t have thought that you have an upright temperament, but ignored that you are actually a first-class counselor... Tian Feng, Tian Feng, your intelligence is really good.Anyone who despises you will definitely suffer!
Yuan Shao in history is the best example.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Tian Feng said calmly: "Do you think my strategy is feasible?"

"It's feasible, it's feasible." Everyone nodded, not daring to refute.

Tian Feng became depressed, worried instead of happy, and said worriedly: "Everyone, do you want to discuss it again to see if there are loopholes in this plan?"

"No loopholes, no loopholes." Everyone answered without thinking.

His perfunctory and casual attitude made Tian Feng's hands itch, and he wanted to hit someone.

Seeing that his teammates were not doing their best, Tian Feng had no choice but to fend for himself and said angrily: "Everyone, as I said before, this strategy requires a general to provoke the enemy leader to complete the mission... So, who is willing?"

"Next!" Zhao Yun said.

"I can do it too!" Zhang Fei said.

After stroking his beard, Guan Yu narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't say much, his words were self-evident.

Zhang Yan and Guan Hai wanted to recommend themselves, but they saw a few fierce generals. Although Zhang Yan and Guan Hai could not personally understand the military value of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, they saw their restrained and brave momentum. People have extraordinary martial arts skills, but Zhang Yan and Guan Hai are far from their opponents!

Realizing this, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai secretly exchanged glances with each other, silently rejoicing for one thing, that is: how lucky they are to be able to serve under His Highness!

Your Highness has not shown off his strength, yet he has secretly recruited so many generals. This is really impressive!

Zhang Yan and Guan Hai admired and admired them.

At this time, someone took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Mr. Tian! Generals! Let me be the bait, okay?"

——It’s Cao Ang!

Everyone was stunned and looked at Cao Ang blankly.

Cao Ang was surrounded by everyone for the first time, and his ears turned red. He said in a huff, "Young man, I have something to say! What if, I mean what if! What if the enemy coach bullies the weak and fears the strong?"
If any one of you, General Guan, General Zhang, and General Zhao, provokes the enemy's commander, will the other party see that his own strength is inferior?So, will the enemy coach accept your provocation when he knows he can't win? "

It's...hard to say.

Guan Yu and others were stunned for a moment and were speechless.
Tian Feng said with great interest: "Go on."

Cao Ang blushed again and said: "Therefore, if it's a kid who goes to the battlefield, it's not necessarily the case... No matter how you look at it, the kid is the kind of young general who is not strong but has eyes above the top?

What will happen if the kid deliberately provokes the enemy coach? "

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's eyes flashed and they said in unison: "Will it anger the enemy commander?"

"If he succeeds, the boy can attract the attention of the enemy commander and lead the enemy commander to the ambush location..." Cao Ang only said the good side.

"At that time, I will be able to kill the enemy commander Zhang Chun with just one move!" Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were very confident.

Seeing this, Liu Bian really couldn't hold back, poured a bucket of cold water for everyone, and said coolly: "On the contrary, Cao Ang, you were stabbed to death by the enemy commander... If you die in vain, you will still die." It caused heavy casualties to our troops.”

Do you know that our military strength is not as good as the other side?

We only have about 8000 people. Together with General Gongsun Zan, we can support 1 people to death!

What about the other party? ——There are 10 people on the other side!
How to fight this?
Stage a counterattack with less to win more?
But this is so embarrassing!
Pursing his lips, Liu Bian felt that it was too risky for Cao Ang to serve as bait.

Looking around at the generals from the corner of his eye, Liu Bian's eyes swept over Liu Bei and He Miao vaguely... It was a pity that Liu Bei and He Miao didn't know what they were thinking, so they remained silent.

What else can Liu Bian do? ——These two people have mediocre martial arts skills? ...The former is his future Uncle Liu Huang; the latter is his second uncle. They are both elders, and he can't control them?

If you really want to use it...that's all, let's not consider these two people!

Sighing, Liu Bian turned his attention to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi... but saw Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi looking down at the ants, showing no intention of pandering at all.

Liu Bian: "..."

Forget it, these two also skipped.

In this way, after going around in a circle, Liu Bian's choice was still only Guan Yu and others.

"Your Highness!" Seeing that he was unsure, Cao Ang begged again, "This kid wants to be a bait! This kid wants to lure the enemy commander and then assassinate him! The Yi tribe occupying Youzhou, our Han Dynasty, is unbearable!...and , I also have a sense of propriety, and I will not let the Cao family threaten you, His Highness. All this is done of my own free will!"

"You..." Liu Bian looked at Cao Ang, "Don't you regret it?"

"No regrets!" Cao Ang grinned, "What Your Highness should consider is: who will take the last hit."

Liu Bian was really amused by Cao Ang's optimism and humor, and said happily, "Everyone, with the bait, who will be responsible for making up the knife?"

"Me!!" Guan Yu took the lead and spoke as quickly as possible.

"Okay! I'll shut you down, magistrate!" Liu Bian decided, not wanting to change anyone.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were so discouraged and disappointed.

After clapping his hands, Liu Bian said: "It's not too late, let's go tonight! We have to rush to Youzhou as soon as possible!"

"Tonight?!" Everyone gasped, "Isn't it too, too sudden?"

"Not at all." Liu Bian said, "If we had gone one day earlier, General Gongsun Zan and his army would have suffered less, and Youzhou would have received support one day earlier."

Everyone was in a daze, feeling that what His Highness said was too reasonable... Everyone was speechless and unable to refute.

Finally, Liu Bian announced: "Since we are setting off tonight, what are you still doing? - Not ordering troops and preparing heavy vehicles?"

"...Here!" Everyone trembled and quickly left.

After that, everyone worked overtime crazily, with as few as [-] troops, and the remaining troops served as Zhang Wusheng's residents; there must be plenty of food, preferably so much that the enemy commander would fall in love with rice at a glance... cough cough!
In short, everyone was busy for a long time. When night fell, Liu Bian ordered five thousand troops and sneaked into Youzhou...
