Chapter 848 Liaodong
Facing Liu Bian's trust, Yu Chigong was very grateful, and suddenly felt like a scholar would die for his confidant.

"Your Majesty, I have an unfeeling request at the end, please allow Your Majesty to agree." Yuchi Gong said, cupping his hands.

"Oh? Come and listen!"

"That fellow Liu Bei deceived me and killed my brother No. [-]. This hatred is irreconcilable. If Your Majesty attacks Liu Bei, please use me as the vanguard!" Yu Chi Gong begged.

Liu Bian asked: "Liu Bei deceived you, I'm just guessing, you say that, is someone under your command confessing?"

Yu Chigong nodded bitterly and said: "Ashamed, but I have expelled these people, and now they are not among the Xuanjia Jingqi."

"En!" Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction, and immediately said: "Revenge is a human nature, and I will naturally not refuse, but the time to attack Liu Bei has not come yet, so I have to wait."

"As long as your majesty uses me as the vanguard to attack Liu Bei, the general will be willing to wait for the time to come."

Liu Bian was very satisfied with Yu Chigong's attitude, and said with a smile, "Okay, during this time you will train your soldiers and familiarize yourself with the map of Youzhou, and then I will use you as the vanguard to attack Liu Bei."

Yuchi Gong was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

One day later, the news that Xuanjia Jingqi surrendered to Liu Bian also reached Liu Bei's ears.

In Liu Bei's study, Liu Bei sat in the main seat, his face was calm, and Li Mi, Wei Zheng and other two confidantes stood at the head.

"I didn't expect the Xuanjia Jingqi to fail so quickly. Although Yu Chigong was brave, he easily fell into the strategy of the Han army. It's a pity that thousands of elites took advantage of Liu Bian for nothing." Liu Bei sighed regretfully.

The cavalry generals who betrayed Yuchi Gong, after they were expelled by Yu Chigong, did not go to Liu Bei.Without the main force Xuanjia Jingqi, going to seek refuge with Liu Bei, wouldn't it be against Yu Chigong?Therefore, they did not go to seek refuge with Liu Bei. Some chose to enter Yanshan to hunt for a living, and some decided to go to the outskirts of Yanshan to guard the spirit of their brothers who died in vain.

Therefore, Liu Bei only thought that Xuanjia Jingqi had been ambushed by the Han army and surrendered, but he didn't know that his deeds had already been leaked.

"My lord, don't worry about it. The Xuanjia Jingqi has also attracted Liu Bian for half a month. In the past half month, he has almost been dealing with the Xuanjia Jingqi. He hasn't dealt with the lord, has he?" Li Mi reassured.

Liu Bian regretted: "It's a pity that the time is too short. It would be great if the Xuanjia Jingqi could last for a few more months."

"Time is not short!" Wei Zheng smiled mysteriously, took out a letter and handed it to Liu Bei, "Look, my lord, this is the good news sent by General Guan!"

"Quick, submit it quickly!" Liu Bei snatched the letter as soon as he heard it.In Liu Bei's view, the biggest enemy is not Liu Bian, but Jurchen. As long as Jurchen is repelled, Liu Bian will retreat.Why is Liu Bei not happy with the good news from Guan Yu?

Liu Bei took a look at the letter and was immediately overjoyed: "The second brother is doing well. Although the Jurchen horses are strong, the second brother led the soldiers and soldiers to unite and resist the Jurchen attack. Now their offensive is not fierce. The situation in the north It should be stable, and after a while, they will have nothing to gain, and they will definitely retreat!"

Originally, Wei Zheng, Li Mi and others had only received the good news from Guan Yu, but they didn't read it first.But when they heard the good news from Guan Yu, both of them frowned.

"What's wrong with the two military advisors? Isn't the second brother blocking the Jurchen's offensive, isn't it something to be happy about?" Liu Bei couldn't help asking when he saw the sad faces of the two after he was excited.

Li Mi shook his head and said: "It's not right. The Jurchens have always been famous for their fierceness in battle. Some time ago they attacked with all their strength, and our army was on the verge of collapse. Why did they suddenly stop attacking?"

"When manpower is limited, Jurchen may not be able to hold on under such a high-intensity attack?" Liu Bei replied with a smile.

Wei Zheng denied immediately: "My lord, let me say something bluntly. The Jurchens are known for their endurance and can adapt to the environment. This kind of soldiers and horses are the most difficult to deal with. If you compare the soldiers of the two armies, our army is absolutely superior in this respect. It is not as good as theirs. Before Jurchen's supplies are insufficient, if we fight recklessly, we will definitely be the ones who can't support them.

But according to my estimation, the Jurchen's food and supplies are enough to support them until winter, and they are not attacking now. There must be fraud in this. "

When Liu Bei heard Wei Zheng's analysis, he felt quite uneasy, and quickly asked, "According to the military adviser, what kind of tricks will Jurchen use?"

Wei Zheng replied: "Liaodong County's battle line is hundreds of thousands of miles away. Although General Guan has many soldiers and horses, it may be difficult to cover all aspects. The Jurchen horses have stopped attacking now. It must be because our army is negligent and looking for weaknesses in our army. So as to make a surprise attack. Now we should reply to General Guan as soon as possible, telling him to be more vigilant, scouts must be spread all over the Liaodong defense line, and we must not give Jurchen any chance!"

"I'll write the book for my second brother right now!" Liu Bei sat down immediately after hearing this, and began to write vigorously.

Li Bi pondered for a while and said: "Forget it, my lord, I know General Guan. He is full of pride. If you pass this letter on, he may not take it seriously. I'd better go to Liaodong in person. Liaodong is of great importance. I'm really worried."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words. Liu Bei originally wanted to send a counselor there, but now that Li Mi offered it, Liu Bei would naturally not refuse.

Li Mi set off to go north.

In the east of Liaodong, Guan Yu led the army to resist the Jurchen attack.

Liaodong County is vast and sparsely populated. The Liaodong Peninsula, where Liaodong County is located, is not under Qingzhou.

From You Beiping all the way northwards, there is Liaoxi County, north of Liaoxi County, is Liaodong Dependent Country, and Liaodong Dependent Country goes east, is Liaodong County.In the north of Liaodong County, there is a small county with only a few cities called Xuantu County.

To the east of Liaodong County is the Yalu River, and beyond the Yalu River is the Korean Peninsula, but at this time, the northern part of the peninsula belongs to Lelang County in Youzhou.In the southern region, there are three small tribes, collectively called Sanhan.

Jurchen swept across the northeast, came out from Heishui and Baishan, and unified several tribes, but Jurchen wanted to go south, and Xuantu, Liaodong, and the three counties of Liaodong were the first to bear the brunt.

As for the Lelang County on the Korean peninsula, the Sanhan tribe, the Jurchen did not mobilize troops for the time being, because the population there is sparsely populated and the land is barren.Where to occupy now, it will only be a waste of manpower and material resources.

Only by conquering the Liaodong area, there will be no barriers in the northern part of the Han Dynasty, and the Jurchen cavalry will be able to attack unimpeded all the way to Hebei and the Yellow River.

Therefore, Jurchen did not waste troops and horses to occupy the Korean Peninsula, but concentrated troops and horses to prepare to attack Liaodong.

Liaohe divided Liaodong and Liaodong's subordinate countries into two.

Guan Yu stationed the water army in the Liaohe River as a means of communication and transportation between the two parties.

In fact, the Liaodong water army is not bad at all. In history, Gongsun Yuan once used the water army to attack Qingzhou across the sea and occupy Donglai and other counties in Qingzhou.After Liu Bei defeated the Gongsun family, he also began to vigorously develop the navy.

Guan Yu divided the soldiers and horses into two and stationed in Liaodong and Liaodong's subordinate states respectively.

Among them, Guan Yu led 15 soldiers and horses to station in Xuantu County in the north of Liaodong County.

Although Liaodong is large, its land is vast and sparsely populated, with plains to the west and Liaoshan mountains to the east.

Therefore, Guan Yu ordered people to guard the main roads of Liaoshan, and the main soldiers and horses were gathered in the north of Xuantu, so that Liaodong was as stable as Mount Tai.

The situation of the Liaodong vassal state is roughly the same as that of Liaodong County, the terrain is equally steep, and Yanshan Mountain is also a barrier to the north, guarding the main roads, and it is also difficult for Jurchen to attack.
