Chapter 935
After Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi defeated Guan Yu, they stationed troops on the Liaohe River and sent people north to inform Liu Bian.

A few days later, the envoy sent by Xue Rengui arrived at Gaoxian in the north. Outside Gaoxian City, Liu Bian's [-] troops camped here.It has been nearly a month since the confrontation with Zhang Fei's [-] troops in Gaoxian City.

The messenger entered the camp and came to meet Liu Bian.

Knowing that Xue Rengui sent troops to send letters, Liu Bian knew that Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi had already defeated Guan Yu according to the systematic battle reminder a few days ago.So the generals and the generals came to discuss the next move.

There are many talents in the big tent.

Among them are the generals Yang Yansi, Yang Miaozhen, Dian Wei, Yang Jizhou, Cheng Yaojin and others from Luoyang.

There are Yuwen Chengdu and Yuchi Gong, the generals of Youzhou.

There are Su Dingfang, Pei Jun, Pei Yuanqing who came from Bingzhou, and the fierce general Wang Junke who was subdued on the way.

As advisors, there are Guo Jia and Wei Xiaokuan.

The generals stood on both sides of the tent, Liu Bian sat on the high platform, and listened to the news from Xue Rengui: "Your Majesty, four days ago, Qingzhou Dudu Chen and General Xue defeated Guan Yu on the Liaohe River. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses fled back to Xiangping, General Xue sent his subordinates to inquire about the next move."

"What do you think?" Liu Bian set his sights on the soldiers.

Su Dingfang is the most outstanding commander among all the generals. When he heard the news, he felt hesitant, and immediately went out and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, since General Xue has captured Liaohe, our army can go to Liaohe and enter Liaodong." , went to attack Xiangping, fought for the victory and wiped out Liu Bei in one fell swoop."

Yu Chigong shook his head when he heard the words: "No, no, we stayed in Gaoxian for more than a month, but got nothing. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go to Liaohe? We should transfer General Xue and General Chen to go north to the rear of Gaoxian. Our army attacked Gao Xian from the north to the south, first wiped out Zhang Fei's 5 troops in Gaoxian City, without these [-] troops, Liu Bei would only have [-] to [-] troops, nothing to worry about."

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "General Yuchi don't want to fight for a while, although our army has confronted Zhang Fei's troops for more than a month without any achievements, but it is a great achievement to keep Zhang Fei's troops in Gaoxian City from acting rashly.

You have to know that Gaoxian City was built extremely strong by Liu Bei. If Chen Dudu is mobilized according to what you said, Dudu Xue's troops will go to the rear of Gao Xian and attack Gao Xian with our army.I'm afraid there will be a heavy price to pay, and there will be a long delay in time. "

Seeing that Su Dingfang rejected his suggestion, Yu Chigong also argued, "If we follow what you said, we should besiege Liu Bei from Liaohe, and he and Zhang Fei will have about 15 troops. If we attack by force, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. If it is a siege, I am afraid it will take a lot of time."

Su Dingfang shook his head again and again and said: "The general's calculation is wrong. If our army goes to Liaohe now and lands in Liaodong to attack Xiangping, Zhang Fei is reckless. He is worried about his brother's safety, so he will rush to Xiangping desperately. There is no time to take them away. At that time, he will rush to Xiangping to join Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Xiangping City will be short of food and grass, and they will be defeated without a fight."

Yu Chigong rubbed his head and said: "That's right, that guy Zhang Fei has a reckless personality and is like a brother to Liu Bei. If our army goes to Liaodong, he will definitely abandon food and supplies to rescue Liu Bei. In this way, there will be more people in Xiangping City." With 10 people, the food and grass will not last long."

Su Dingfang shook his head helplessly. He didn't know that Yu Chigong wanted to attack Gao Xian to win his breath. He confronted Zhang Fei for a month without gaining anything. Now that Xue Rengui defeated Guan Yu first, he must be dissatisfied.

It's just a dispute between emotions and the use of troops indiscriminately. Su Dingfang will oppose whatever he says.

After listening to Su Dingfang's words, most of the generals were also inclined to Su Dingfang's strategy.

Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals in the attack on Gao Xian, even if Gao Xian was destroyed, he would have to go to Xiangping to attack Liu Bei, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Simply go to Xiangping now, and at the same time Zhang Fei will also abandon the food and supplies and go to Xiangping to help. At that time, Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses will definitely be short of food.Not only can it be done in one battle, but it can also make a fuss by relying on Zhang Fei's lack of food.

Therefore, the generals expressed their opinions one after another, and most of them agreed with Su Dingfang's strategy.

Seeing this situation, Liu Bian said: "Since you all agree to go to Liaohe, join Xue Rengui, and Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses to attack Xiangping together. Then prepare to leave camp and set off quickly. The faster you move, the more worried Zhang Fei will be about Liu Bei. The safety of the people, the less food, grass and luggage that can be taken away.”

"No!" The generals bowed their hands and took orders.

Soon all the generals went down to prepare, the Han army camp was in full swing, and the soldiers were busy all of a sudden.

In Gaoxian City in the south, Zhang Fei heard soldiers coming to report that the Han army camp had made a big move, so he came to the top of the city to observe the situation.

"The Han army is about to pull out their camp and set off. Could it be that they are planning to retreat because they see that the attack is too high?" Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he saw this situation.

At this moment Zhang Fei did not know the news of Guan Yu's defeat. Guan Yu fled back to Xiangping first and reported to Liu Bei before he remembered to send someone to inform Zhang Fei.And Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi sent someone to notify Liu Bian immediately after defeating Guan Yu.

Although Xiangping was much closer to Gaoxian in terms of the route, the Han army had the upper hand after all, so it was Liu Bian who got the news first.If Zhang Fei wanted to know the news of Guan Yu's defeat, he might have to wait a day or two.

Regarding Zhang Fei's optimistic attitude, Li Mi's face was a little solemn: "Liu Bian's heart is not dead, and I'm afraid it's not that simple to simply retreat. It is likely that the second general was defeated. The Han army plans to attack Liaodong from Liaohe. .”

Zhang Fei frowned when he heard this, and said, "Military commander, don't raise the morale of others and destroy your prestige. My second brother sent the navy to guard the Liaohe River. Why did the Han army defeat the second brother?"

Li Mi shook his head, and instead of arguing with Zhang Fei, he said: "Be careful, there is no big mistake, and you wait to load the grain and grass in the warehouse quickly. If you retreat, you will not be too hasty."

"Hmph, military commander, go as soon as you want, I don't have any manpower under my command." Zhang Fei was quite displeased with Li Mi's request. It was clear that he looked down on Guan Yu and was determined that Guan Yu was defeated.

"Forget it, I'll take care of it if I go." Li Mi sighed, knowing that Zhang Fei had a stubborn temper, so he could only persuade him with kind words, and he couldn't fight each other.Now that he has been pissed off, it is impossible to get him to do things, so he can only bring his own soldiers to do it.

But Li Mi's personal soldiers were only a few hundred people, and the grain and grass in Gaoxian City were more than that of Xiangping, and they only loaded a small half of them in one night.

The Han army had already withdrawn in the early morning of the second day. Under the leadership of Liu Bian, they went to Liaohe, joined Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi's troops, and prepared to go to Liaodong to besiege Xiangping.
