Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 503: The Emperor Leads the Army in Person! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2024…5786~)

Wang Lang picked up the goat's milk and took a sip. The strong smell of mutton instantly made him frown.

But soon, the mutton smell faded, and a light sweetness climbed up to the tip of the tongue, making the overall taste much better.

No wonder the Huns were so strong. I heard that drinking goat milk is very good for the body and can even be used to treat diseases.

This time when I go back, I must buy some goat milk for my lord and the others to try.

If there is an opportunity in the future, perhaps we can establish long-term trade relations with the Huns.

This goat milk is very beneficial for nourishing the bodies of military generals and civil officials.

Maybe if Kuai Liang had drunk more goat milk at that time, he could have lived longer...

Come to think of it, the lord has grown so strong, maybe he got a lot of goat milk when he was fighting in Bingzhou.

Wang Lang didn't think much about it and turned to Qu Bei and said:

“I wonder if the Right Wise King knows that the imperial court has quietly transferred soldiers from Bingzhou to Sili?
"Bingzhou is quite empty now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of surprise flashed across Qu Bei's eyes.

Then he asked suspiciously:

“But my subordinates go there to investigate every day.

"The walls along the border of Bingzhou are covered with flags and people are coming and going. It doesn't look like there are no troops."

Wang Lang smiled slightly:
“That was true before, but now, Emperor Liu Xie plans to personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack Wuwei County in Liangzhou, which is occupied by our army.

“As a result, Sili was short of troops, and most of Bingzhou’s forces were transferred southward.

“Bingzhou is extremely empty right now. If the Right Wise King does not take this opportunity to advance, once the imperial army is defeated and retreats, he will defend Bingzhou again.

"Moreover, the imperial court rudely drove you all out of Bingzhou.

"If our army in the south had not put enough pressure on them, do you think they would have reached a so-called ceasefire agreement with you?"

Qu Bei picked up the goat milk, but did not drink it. A thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Wang Lang took out a letter from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to the other party.

Qu Bei took the letter, a trace of doubt appeared on his face:
"This is?"

Wang Lang returned to his seat and said calmly:

“My master is different from the imperial court. He promised that as long as you can help him attack the imperial court’s troops.

"When he conquers the world, the entire Bingzhou can be used as a place for your tribe to cultivate and recuperate!"

As soon as this cake came out, a gleam of light flashed in Qu Bei's eyes!
Although I understand that the other party is just making empty promises, how long do we have to wait to unify the world?
But the key point is that this was the first time someone suggested to them that Bingzhou could be used as a base for their Xiongnu people to reproduce and thrive.

This alone is enough to completely defeat the court's attitude!
And even if what Lu Bu said was false, Bingzhou was empty at this time, and they could attack Bingzhou again, rob the people of Bingzhou of their property, and occupy Bingzhou's cities to recuperate.

Or even if nothing is gained, as long as it can be used to kill the energy of these grassland men that have nowhere to vent, it would be pretty good.

And on the bright side, what Lu Bu said might be true, and he could really unify the entire Han territory in the future.

By then, the Huns also provided considerable help.

If the other party is really willing to hand over Bingzhou to them for management at that time, they will serve Lu Bu as their leader, so what's wrong with that?
Thinking of this, Qu Bei opened Lu Bu's letter and read it.

Although the handwriting was ugly and he could not recognize many Chinese characters, he could roughly tell that the content of the letter was consistent with what Wang Lang said.

It is undeniable that this is indeed a huge fortune! It all depends on whether the Huns can catch it!
Qu Bei was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement:
"Everyone, take a short rest today. Tomorrow, the king will take you to meet the Great Chanyu!"

After receiving Qu Bei's reply, Wang Lang realized that the matter was a sure thing.

I believe that as long as the other party is not stupid, he will not miss this opportunity to go south.

……

Liangzhou, Wuwei County, Guzang City.

After a whole winter of repairs, the defenses of Guzang City not only recovered to their peak, but were even reinforced by Wei Yan.

As the seat of government of Wuwei County and even the entire Liangzhou, Guzang City not only has a vast area, but also blocks the main route connecting the five counties of Xizhou with the imperial court.

Of course, some small roads were also guarded by heavy troops sent by Wei Yan.

However, Wei Yan recently learned that Xu Huang of Zhangye County had actually concentrated all the military forces of the five counties of Xizhou in Zhangye County.

There are about 60,000 to 70,000 people!

It was obvious that he was planning to attack Wuwei County from both sides together with the imperial troops!
Such a huge momentum also made Wei Yan feel tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, during this period, Sun Ce had led his army to capture the unguarded Hanyang County, and transferred tens of thousands of troops from Yizhou to provide support.

In addition, after accompanying Xiao Qiao for a while, Lu Bu personally led the army to Nanyang County.

He planned to march northward to attack Hongnong County in Sili.

A battle of this scale is undoubtedly the ultimate battle between Lu Bu’s army and the imperial court!
If the imperial court could win, it could greatly curb the development of Lu Bu's army.

But if the imperial court loses, Liu Xie will completely lose the possibility of restoring the Han Dynasty on his own!
So Liu Xie knew very well that in this battle, he either won or died!
If I could use my life to stop Lu Bu's army from unifying the world, or let him be cursed by future generations for thousands of years, it would be worth it!
Of course, before that, it is still unknown who will win or lose in this war!

The seat of Anding County was Linjing County.

Liu Xie, dressed in golden armor, looked at the 90,000 troops around him that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. He then drew out the Emperor's Sword and swung it forward fiercely.

He shouted in a young but firm voice:
"The three armies will follow me to the battle!!"

The 90,000-strong army responded in unison, their morale was unprecedentedly high!
Liu Xie was also very excited at this moment.

After three or four months of preparation, we finally managed to gather the food and supplies needed for the army to fight for two months!
If he couldn't take Wuwei County even in this way, then there was no need for him to continue to be the emperor.

Of course, in order to prevent his retreat from being cut off, Liu Xie also left 10,000 troops to guard Linjing County.

He knew that Wuwei County had a full 80,000 garrison troops.

But Zhangye County also had Xu Huang's 60,000 troops to support it.

A total of 150,000 troops attacked Wuwei County. He wanted to see how Wei Yan could defend it!

About a few days later, the 90,000-strong army finally left Anding County and entered Wuwei County.

Faced with Liu Xie's mighty army of 90,000, Wei Yan immediately found Guo Jia to discuss strategies to repel the enemy.

Guo Jia bowed with a smile and said:
"There is a saying in Cao Gui's Discussion on War: The first attack is powerful, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted!

“The enemy is now gaining momentum, so it is not appropriate for our army to engage in direct confrontation.

“But if we allow the enemy to directly surround Guzang City, our army will be in danger as well.

"So before the enemy gets close, we need to reduce the enemy's morale as much as possible!"
