Chapter 829
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, returned to Luoyang as Zongzheng many years ago. At this time, the governor of Youzhou was Fan Zhongyan, and the governor of Youzhou was Xue Rengui.

With one piece of paper and one weapon, there is Yuwen Chengdu who controls the cavalry of foreign races, Di Qing, the deputy governor of soldiers and horses who has been in Yuyang all the year round, Jushou, the military advisor, and Pan Feng, the fierce general.Wu Yunzhao, Zhang Shigui, Le Jin under Xue Rengui, and Gao Lan and others who were captured alive by Xue Rengui in the early years and surrendered.

The army entered Youzhou and went straight to Zhuojun county by county.

Xue Rengui led the generals under his command, and Fan Zhongyan led the important civil officials of the governor's mansion, and they went out of the city to meet them in person.

"I have seen Your Majesty!" Under the lead of Xue Rengui and Fan Zhongyan, they bowed to Liu Bian.The people on both sides of the road were crowded, wanting to see Liu Bian's face.The army went down to the stockade outside the city, and Liu Bian led the generals into the city to accept the hospitality prepared by Fan Zhongyan.

No official business was discussed that night, the civil servants and military generals recounted old friendships, and it was not until the end of the banquet late at night that Liu Bian informed the generals to come to discuss military affairs the next day.

In the early morning of the second day, all the generals gathered in the governor's mansion, Liu Bian sat upright, looking around at the generals below.

On the left are Wei Xiaokuan, Guo Jia, Yang Miaozhen, Yang Yansi, Dian Wei and other generals brought by Liu Bian from the capital.On the right are Xue Rengui, Wu Yunzhao, Zhang Shigui, Le Jin, Gao Lan and others.

"General Xue, how is the situation of the soldiers and horses in Youzhou?" Liu Bian looked at Xue Rengui and asked.

Xue Rengui cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, there is an army of 15 under the command of General Di Qing in Yuyang. Among the [-] troops, there are [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. The Zhuoxian camp outside the city has five elite soldiers and horses. Among the [-] troops, there are [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. The [-] cavalry under the command of General Yuwen are distributed in Shanggu and the grasslands outside the pass north of Daijun for training! In addition, the counties There are more than [-] soldiers in the county, and there are more than [-] soldiers and horses in Youzhou, all of whom have been trained for many years and have experienced hundreds of battles, enough to deal with any enemy!"

"So, excluding the foreign cavalry outside the pass, our army has [-] combat soldiers, [-] cavalry, and [-] infantry!" Liu Bian mused.

"Why, isn't Your Majesty planning to use the cavalry? The cavalry outside the pass has been trained for many years, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Mongolian cavalry!" Wu Yunzhao asked doubtfully.

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "I have discussed the money with all the ministers. This time to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei and the Jurchens in Liaodong have not won before the victory. I will fight Liu Bei here and implement the strategy of attacking the heart!"

"A strategy for attacking the heart?" the generals asked suspiciously.

Liu Bian explained: "The Jurchen came from the white mountains and black waters, they are powerful, and the combat environment is even worse. Therefore, they are very difficult to deal with. Once I fought against Liu Bei, I couldn't escape and suffered heavy losses. The Jurchen took advantage of the momentum and went south. The situation in Youzhou It will be very bad, so the strategy of attacking the mind is the top priority, causing chaos inside Liu Bei, so I can reap the benefits of the fisherman!

And the cavalry is even more expensive. After a battle, the repair of weapons and horses will cost a lot, so I don't plan to use the cavalry now! "

All the generals suddenly realized when they heard the words, if it is an offensive strategy, it is really inappropriate to mobilize the cavalry now.For example, the cavalry now trains on the grasslands outside the customs, and the fodder is directly supplied by the grasslands. If they enter the customs, there is no need to fight, and the daily consumption of fodder must be escorted by civilian husbands. Just entering the customs and stationing is a huge expense.

"Fan Inspector, General Xue, together with Di Qing's Department in Yuyang and the [-] forbidden troops in my hands, are dispatching [-] elite troops from the Zhuxian County Camp, making a total of [-] troops. How long will it take to mobilize food and grass and reorganize the troops?" Liu Bian looked at Xue Rengui and Fan Zhongyan and asked.

Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said: "It only takes five days to rectify the troops and horses!"

"It's more troublesome to mobilize food and grass, it will take ten days!" Fan Zhongyan replied.

Liu Bian pondered and ordered: "In this case, I will go to Yuyang Daying to join Di Qing's department first, and Fan Cishi will send food and grass from county to county. General Xue, you will lead [-] elites to Yuyang to join us in ten days. Confluence!"

"No!" Fan Zhongyan cupped his hands.

Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said, "How to carry [-] soldiers and horses? How will the generals distribute them?"

"Bring enough cavalry, Liu Le will enter the town to defend the county, and the rest of the generals will arrive. Although it is only a strategy of attacking the heart, we must make enough momentum to make Liu Bei think that our army is overwhelming and cause panic among his subordinates. Only in this way can the best effect be achieved! "Liu Bian replied.

"The general understands!" Xue Rengui bowed his hands and accepted the order.

On the same day, Liu Bian led [-] forbidden troops to the front line of Yuyang. There were two reasons why he did not go with Xue Rengui's army.One is to show Liu Bian's determination to attack Liu Bei and cause panic in Liu Bei's army.Secondly, Liu Bian wanted to get hold of Liu Beijun's information as soon as possible so that he could deal with various problems during the confrontation.

Zhuo County is not far from Yuyang, the army rushed to Yuyang in two days and joined Di Qing's army.

Under Di Qing's command are Wen and Wu, Wen Naijushou, Wu Nai Panfeng, and [-] elite warriors who sit on the front line of Yuyang all the year round and confront Liu Bei's army.Although there are not many big battles, there are countless frictions, and the two sides can be said to know each other well.

Due to the perennial confrontation, both the soldiers and horses led by Di Qing and Liu Bei's army were stationed at the border, and neither side dared to relax in the slightest.

Liu Bei's army was stationed on the border without end, while the Han army was stationed in Xuping County on the border.The distance between Wuzhong and Xu Ping is only twenty or thirty miles, but there is a Yanshan Mountain in the middle, which acts as a barrier for each other. If you want to go around the road, you will add another ten miles to your footsteps.In the past few years, the Han army and Liu Bei's army have also fought many duels between the two cities and one mountain.

After Liu Bian arrived at Xuping's camp, he asked the soldiers to set up camp and summoned Di Qing and other generals to discuss matters.

"We have seen His Majesty!" Di Qing led the generals to the tent, bowing their hands in salute.

"Free from courtesy!" Liu Bian waved his hand and cut straight to the point: "I led a large army here at the beginning, and wanted to give Liu Beijun a blow. General Di, tell me about Liu Beijun's situation on the opposite side!"

"No!" Di Qing clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there are [-] soldiers and horses at ordinary times, and the main general is Guan Yu. But two months ago, after Jurchen attacked Liaodong, the main general Guan Yu went to Liaodong. The chief general is Zhang Fei."

"Zhang Fei's character..." Di Qing was about to continue the introduction, but Liu Bian waved his hands and said, "I know that Zhang Fei, Guan Yuao, Zhang Feikuang, like to drink too much, and beat soldiers. In the past few years, they have often done this because of this. Are you at a disadvantage?"

Di Qing said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right. These two people's personalities will be targeted at the end of these years, and they have taken advantage of it. However, after a lot of fighting, both sides know the bottom line, so they are not fooled."
