Chapter 73 Guess
"Liu Daer is really tossing around, thinking about new tricks every day." Zhao Lei said helplessly.But since he decided to control Liu Bei in his hands, Zhao Lei had to always meet Liu Bei's various resistances.

"My lord, although I don't know why you want to control this person, I think that if you want to really control him, it's better to let him close his eyes forever." Jia Xu walked in from outside the tent and saw the three brothers Liu Bei being arrested. After dragging them out, they knew they were having trouble with Zhao Lei again.

"Hehe, did Mr. Jia forget that Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's student? Even if their teacher-student relationship is not there, if I really kill Liu Bei, what will Lu Zhi think of me?" Zhao Lei smiled helplessly, but Zhao Lei is not I am afraid of offending Lu Zhi, but I am afraid that if Liu Bei is really killed, then history will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.Although the appearance of Zhao Lei has changed history, most historical events still happened, but the time is different.The difference is that if Liu Bei dies, many historical events involved in him will probably disappear.This can have serious consequences.

"Since we can't kill him, my lord might as well just maim Liu Bei and the other three. As Liu Bei is, if he is given a chance, he will definitely run away." Jia Xu laughed.

"Mr. Jia is really ruthless. I think if I really disabled Liu Bei, Lu Zhi won't give me any good looks. Enough is enough!" Zhao Lei said.

"Okay, my lord, we are facing many difficulties now, and we don't have time to take care of Liu Bei and other small characters." Jia Xu said.

"Difficulties?" Zhang Han questioned.

"Yes." Jia Xu affirmed.

"What is the difficulty for our army now?" Zhao Lei also felt that Jia Xu's words were a little strange. Since he sent troops to Youzhou, he has been winning battles all the time. Where is the difficulty?
"My lord, Guan Hai, the number one general under Zhang Jiao, was beheaded, and Jicheng and its surrounding counties in the west of Youzhou fell. On the surface, it is indeed smooth sailing for our army. But please think about it, my lord. Under such circumstances, Zhang Jiao has not moved at all, and neither Yijing City Walled City nor Beiping County has seen him, isn't this very unreasonable?" Jia Xu asked Zhao Lei.

"Mr. Jia's words are reasonable. I didn't think of that. When Mr. Jia said this, I remembered that Zhang Jiao hadn't appeared in a long time." Zhao Lei said.

"What is Zhang Jiao doing? Where is he?" Zhang Han questioned.

"Hehe, I have a guess in my heart, but it's just a guess." Jia Xu said worriedly.

"Mr. Jia, but it's okay to say." Zhao Lei signaled.

"My lord, my subordinates think that Zhang Jiao might go to Saibei to find Karasuma, Xianbei and other foreign races to borrow troops." Jia Xu said.

"Will foreigners lend him troops? This is a bold idea." Zhang Han laughed.

"What if he uses the wealth and population of Youzhou to trade with them?" Jia Xu said.

Zhang Han didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

"It's true that Zhang Jiao hasn't made any noise these days, and what Mr. Jia said is reasonable." Zhao Lei said,
"Once the barbarian cavalry flooded into the pass, it would be very terrifying." Jia Xu said.

"Why did Mr. Jia say that?" Zhao Lei asked.

"My lord doesn't know. My subordinate is from the Wuwei family. There are often Hu people in Wuwei. Those Hu people are good at bow and horse, and everyone is skilled in martial arts. Since their troops are all cavalry, no matter in terms of moving speed or They are all extremely powerful in terms of combat effectiveness. The subordinates are worried that if Zhang Jiao really asks for help from the barbarians, and the barbarians agree to Zhang Jiao's request to send troops, then in terms of the current combat effectiveness of the imperial army, it is simply vulnerable." Jia Xu said.

"Mr. Jia, can't even our army beat those barbarians? Our troops are well-trained!" Zhao Yun said a little unconvinced.

"I'm not sure about this, but if we fight on the plains, we will definitely suffer, because they are all heavy cavalry, and our infantry has no advantage in terms of arms when fighting." Jia Xu said.

"Mr. Jia, since you have said so, what is the countermeasure?" Zhao Lei asked.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. What I said before is just my guess. As long as we capture the Yijing Walled City and Beiping County, even if Zhang Jiao invites Hu people, we will still be able to defend the city, and those Hu people will do nothing." Without us." Jia Xu laughed.

"Khan! Mr. Jia, you like to scare people." Zhao Yun said helplessly.

"Zilong, don't be rude to Mr. Jia." Zhao Lei said: "Since Mr. Jia said so, I will urge Lu Zhi to join the army quickly! If Zhangjiao really finds the barbarian, we can also occupy it." The geographical advantage of the city blocks their cavalry." Zhao Lei said.

"Master Mingjian." Jia Xu said.

"Zihan, have you clashed with Xuande again?" Lu Zhi said with a smile when he saw Zhao Lei walking in.

"I'm ashamed of my subordinates, I'm not good at disciplining my subordinates, I'm worrying my lord." Zhao Lei said, thinking at the same time, Liu Bei really came to sue.

"It's okay, Zihan. In fact, Xuande is indeed a difficult person to restrain. He used to be so rebellious when I was his teacher. He was always like this when I disciplined him, not to mention that he is younger than him now. What about you little one! He will always be more or less unconvinced, which is normal." Lu Zhi said with a sigh.

"My lord, don't you think that Liu Bei is a man with great ambitions? If he refines it, he will definitely contribute to the court in the future." Zhao Lei said, of course, this is a polite remark.

"I didn't see this, but I think you, Zihan, will become a pillar of the imperial court in the future." Lu Zhi suddenly said to Zhao Lei in a strange tone.

"The man's worry really came true." After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Zhao Lei thought to himself.Although Zhao Lei thought so in his heart, he still pretended to be calm and said: "This subordinate has no such ability. I just want to be a good official and let the people live and work in peace. That's all."

"Hehe, it's easy to say this sentence, but there are very few people in this court who can lead by example, so don't let me down in the future Zihan." Lu Zhi said, sighing, this sentence seems to be Some vent their dissatisfaction with the current court.

"Zihan, just let the three Xuande brothers go! You can't keep them by force." Lu Zhi continued.

Zhao Lei vaguely understood the meaning of Lu Zhi's words, so he agreed.

After talking about Liu Bei, Lu Zhi began to discuss the military situation with Zhao Lei.

"My lord, this subordinate thinks that we should send troops to Yijing Walled City and Beiping quickly," Zhao Lei said.

"Why so urgent? Is there any unexpected change?" Lu Zhi asked strangely.

"My lord, Zhang Jiao has disappeared since he came to Youzhou. There is no news about him at all. Don't you think it's strange?" Zhao Lei asked Lu Zhi.

"That's true, what does that have to do with our rapid dispatch of troops?" Lu Zhi asked.

Zhao Lei told Lu Zhi about Jia Xu's conjecture, and Lu Zhi's face was full of worry after hearing it.

"If Zhang Jiao really drives the Hu people to invade our Han territory, it will indeed be a difficult matter. If we don't take Youzhou quickly, we will directly face the impact of the Hu people's cavalry. With our battle For the barbarians, you can only defend the city and not fight in the field!" Lu Zhi said to himself.

"So, my lord, we should send troops as soon as possible to take back Youzhou, otherwise, if reinforcements arrive, the situation may change again," Zhao Lei said.

"Come here, call the generals immediately and discuss sending troops." Lu Zhi said to a soldier beside him.

About an hour later, all the generals gathered, and Lu Zhi announced the news of sending troops.

"My lord, the troops of Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan have already headed for the Yijing Walled City. Why don't we take a rest and set off today? Wouldn't it be wonderful to wait for work at leisure?" Liu Yu said.

"I can't wait, I'm afraid Zhang Jiao will have reinforcements." Lu Zhi said.

"Zhang Jiao has been forced to Youzhou by Zhao Taishou. Now Jicheng has been destroyed and Guan Hai has been beheaded. Now Zhang Jiao is alone and helpless, where can he get reinforcements?" Liu Yu asked.

"What if it's a barbarian? For example, Karasuma, Huns and other alien races on the border of Youzhou." Lu Zhi asked.

"How could Zhang Jiao form an alliance with the Hu people?" Liu Yu doubted.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Now we have pushed him into a hurry, so it is possible for him to join forces with the Hu people. But as long as we can capture Youzhou when Zhang Jiao's reinforcements arrive, we can use the city wall It is dangerous to reject the Hu cavalry, so as to be invincible." Lu Zhi analyzed.

"My subordinates know." Liu Yu said after hearing Lu Zhi's explanation.

"Anyone else have any doubts?" Lu Zhi asked.

The generals did not speak.

"Then set off tomorrow and march into Yijing City Walled City, joining forces with Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan," Lu Zhi said.
