Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 654 I Can't Help My Child

"My lord, this is an urgent report from Hebei!"

In the county seat of Longxian County, a Huben Guard who was waiting beside Liu Wei handed the things in his hand to Liu Wei, and then stepped aside to wait.

Liu Wei was also very surprised by the letter from Hebei that this Hubenwei handed to him, thinking that something must have happened in Hebei, otherwise it would be impossible for An'er to write to me, I have to read it quickly!
As soon as he opened the letter, Liu Wei broke out in a cold sweat. The letter read: Cao Mengde raised an army of 30 in Xuchang, and personally led the expedition. Now he has crossed the Yellow River. After discussing with several adults, my son I decided to lead the [-] soldiers left by my father to meet the enemy, but the Cao thief is cunning, and the child may lose to the Cao thief. Return to Hebei.

"Oh! Ann is confused!"

After reading the letter, Liu Wei sat down on the chair, stared straight at the desk in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, Liu Wei suddenly said: "Send the order, let the three armies gather, and all the soldiers and horses sent out to clear up the Qiang tribes will return to the camp. Don't wait, this king will lead the army to fight Midang to the death!"

"Here!"

Huben Wei, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly turned around and took people to the camps to give orders.

As a result, Xu Shu, who was resting, was alarmed. Xu Shu was reading in the tent when he heard commotion outside the tent, so he ordered his servants to find out what happened. Who wouldn't know, as soon as the servant got out of the account, he found out the news that Liu Wei was going to gather troops to fight to the death with that king of confusion, and hurried back to tell Xu Shu.

"This is wrong. The original plan was to wipe out the Qiang tribe first, and then attack Wuwei. My lord asked me to change the plan! No, I have to go and see!"

Xu Shu put down the book in his hand and was going to see Liu Wei.

And Xu Shu's servant hurriedly stopped Xu Shu: "My lord, what are you doing! The prince has already ordered to go to Wuwei to fight the Qiang people, and then we can return to Hebei as soon as possible. This must be the prince in this remote place I've stayed here enough, I want to go back to Hebei, if you go to persuade the prince now, isn't that asking for trouble!"

"What do you know, do you think everyone is like you? You just want to go back? There must be a reason for this, and you don't understand after talking about it. Get out of the way, I'm going to see the lord!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Shu pushed aside his servants and walked quickly to Liu Wei's tent.

"Yuan Zhi is here!"

Liu Wei raised his head and saw Xu Shu coming in, and motioned for Xu Shu to sit down.

After Xu Shu saluted Liu Wei and sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "My lord, don't you want to clean up the Qiang people's tribe first? Why are you in such a hurry to fight Midang?"

"Yuan Zhi, just now I received a letter from An'er, which said that Cao Cao personally led an army of 30 across the Yellow River to attack Yecheng, but Cao Cao is cunning, I am afraid that An'er is not Cao's enemy, and Yecheng is a long way from here It's so far away that even a fast horse will take more than ten days to arrive, this letter was written by An'er ten days ago, I'm afraid An'er has already fought with Cao Cao, how can I not be in a hurry!"

Liu Wei shook his hands while talking, wishing he could fly back to Hebei immediately.

"My lord, if my lord is in a hurry to fight Midang because of this matter, then my lord is too foolish!"

After listening to Liu Wei's words, Xu Shu spoke calmly.

"You...! What do you mean by that?"

When Liu Wei heard Xu Shu say that he was stupid, he also lost his temper. He pointed at Xu Shu and asked Xu Shu to give him an explanation.

But Xu Shu said unhurriedly: "My lord, according to the distance from the corner of the mouth, how many days will it take from here to Bingzhou at the marching speed of our army?"

When Xu Shu asked this, Liu Wei didn't understand what Xu Shu meant, but Liu Wei didn't speak, just snorted.

And Xu Shu was not angry, and continued: "It will take at least 30 days, and even if the supplies, prisoners, and wounded soldiers are still abandoned, my lord, you should know what 30 days means. When we return to Jizhou, no matter which side it is If he wins, the battle may have ended long ago. Besides, the lord was ready to guard against Cao Cao before the west expedition. Feng Xiao and Shi Yuan all stayed in Yecheng. Waiting for the veterans to stay in Ye City, don't you feel at ease with so many people in the Lord?"

"Although the general is brave and resourceful, but the commander is still young! I don't worry about An'er! Although he fought many battles with me in the South and North, but most of the time he commanded troops and horses that did not exceed 30, and he has not commanded the army alone to fight. He is not afraid of [-], just in case. What if he makes a mistake in command and is defeated by Cao thief? If he is defeated, he will go from Yecheng in the south of Jizhou to You In Jixian County in the north of the state, there is a flat river, and there are not many soldiers and horses guarding it. Cao Cao's [-] troops can be said to be in the land of no one!"

The more Liu Wei talked, the more his heart ached, and the more he talked, the more he felt that Jizhou and Youzhou must be lost. This is not a good feeling in his heart.

After hearing this, Xu Shu's forehead was sweating, and he thought to himself that it seems that Hebei has been lost!

"My lord, even if Jizhou and Youzhou are lost, what's the use of going back now? Use a tired army to face Cao's army, which is in high morale and has more troops than ours? Or go back to Liaozhou by detour to seek a comeback?"

"This……!"

Liu Wei really didn't think about what Xu Shu said. He just wanted to go back to rescue Liu An and repel Cao Cao.

"Then according to Yuanzhi's opinion, what should I do?"

Liu Wei had no choice but to ask Xu Shu for advice.

"Eliminate the Qiang people and occupy Xiliang first. If Cao Cao really takes Jizhou and Youzhou, then we will respond to the sons and daughters and send troops to pinch Cao's bandits together! It would be even better if Cao Cao failed to take Hebei. Stay a general in Xiliang, and recruit Xiliang cavalry here. A strong cavalry team can be established in a year or two. If the cavalry is light cavalry, heavy cavalry will break through the formation, and light cavalry will chase down the enemy, and the world will be peaceful in two years!"

Xu Shu explained the plan in detail.

"Let me think!"

Liu Wei was somewhat narrow-minded, not so generous, and giving up Jizhou and Youzhou to Cao Cao would be like gouging flesh out of Liu Wei, and he felt distressed.

"I can't bear to bear children, I can't beat wolves!"

Xu Shu said something again.

"Okay! Don't withdraw the troops. I order all the soldiers and horses in Longyou to go out of the city to clean up the Qiang tribe. The rebels will be killed without mercy. Except for the old people who can't move, everyone will be taken away!"

After Liu Wei gave the order, he even put on his horse and led his army out of the city to wipe out the Qiang tribe.
