Chapter [312] Fazheng Is Very Angry, And His Scheme Is Vicious
Xuzhou, Tan County.
Liu Bei has a vicissitudes of life on his face. Liu Bei, who is already over half a hundred years old, looks even older now.
Aging so fast is naturally due to Fazheng.
It is quite tiring work to move all the population in the north of Xuzhou to the south, or even further to Huainan.
If the army is used to expose forced relocation, regardless of whether the people live or die, Liu Bei will not be physically and mentally exhausted, and only one order is required.
However, Liu Bei valued his reputation and cherished his feathers. He couldn't do that kind of thing, and he was only willing to persuade the people to migrate.
Since he chooses to listen to the demands of the people, he naturally has to find a way to solve the difficulties of the people. It is no wonder that Liu Bei is not old because he is overwhelmed by a huge amount of trivial matters every day.
There were footsteps outside, Liu Bei looked up, and it was Zhuge Liang who came.
Zhuge Liang, who was originally personable, has become a little vicissitudes at the moment because he has been "two one three" at the grassroots level.
"Kong Ming is here, how is the spring plowing going? Have the common people got enough land?" Liu Bei asked.
"Everything is settled properly, my lord can rest assured." Zhuge Liang replied in a deep voice.
Even though Zhuge Kongming was invincible in internal affairs, he was also exhausted by a series of affairs such as migration, settlement, and spring plowing.
Things are not difficult, but the workload is heavy, and it is trivial enough.
"That's good. After finishing these things, I can finally go to Jingnan to support Bofu." Liu Bei felt relieved.
The delay was so long that Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed, and wrote to Jingnan repeatedly to explain the situation to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others.
Fortunately, Jingnan also expressed understanding, and it would not be too late to come after Liu Bei settled everything.
"I heard that Gongjin intends to compete with Lu Bu on the water this time?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"That's right, Gongjin mentioned this in her reply letter." Liu Bei nodded and admitted.
"Then let's get ready and set off quickly." Zhuge Liang continued: "Water warfare is different from land warfare, most of our soldiers are not good at water and have to get used to seasickness.
Zhuge Liang lived in Jingzhou for a long time, and he also has a certain understanding and research on water warfare.
"It turns out that's the case, so I'll trouble Kong Ming to dispatch it." Liu Bei knew nothing about it, and immediately agreed with Zhuge Liang's suggestion.
At this time, Guan Yu suddenly came in from the outside, walking in a hurry.
"Brother is not well, and the Qin army in Qingzhou has changed again."
"What's the situation?" Liu Bei asked hastily.
"According to the Tanmalai report, 20,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry from Hebei have arrived in Qingzhou. The Qin army has increased its troops in Qingzhou." Guan Yu quickly reported the situation.
After listening to it, no matter Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, their complexions became uneasy.
There was a wave of unrest and another wave. Just after finishing the migration and spring plowing here, Qingzhou sent more troops, which was clearly aimed at Xuzhou.
"Damn it!" Liu Bei couldn't help cursing angrily, "Cunning villain!"
The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull for a moment, and finally Liu Bei said again, "Kong Ming, what do you think we should do?"
"With an army of 60,000, normally 20,000 defenders are left. Tan County has sufficient armaments, so it should be no problem to keep Zilong to guard." Leave an extra ten thousand troops."
Even Zhuge Liang dare not underestimate the deterrent power of five thousand cavalry, especially in plain areas, cavalry is the most incomprehensible unit.
Once the city is in danger of being breached and you need to abandon the city and flee, you can usually escape and go to the next city to continue to hold on. But if there are cavalry, they will be chased to death.
Therefore, although the cavalry could not attack the city, it also cut off the escape route of abandoning the city. Therefore, it was necessary to ensure that Tan County could be defended, and only a part of the troops could be left to garrison, so as to ensure that Tan County was safe and avoid being chased and killed by the cavalry after breaking the city. possible.
"In this way, we can only support Bofu's 20,000 troops, which is a little small." Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed.
"My lord, there is nothing we can do about it. The situation here is not good, so we can't care too much." Zhuge Liang said helplessly.
"Forget it, Kongming, you can arrange it. I'll write to Bofu to explain." Liu Bei had no choice but to agree.
"By the way, Yun Chang, I ordered the army to build some small ships." Zhuge Liang ordered Guan Yu.
"I don't know what the military division is for?" Guan Yu couldn't help asking.
"Since the opponent's cavalry is here, they will definitely not sit back and watch us go to Jingnan for rescue, and they will definitely harass us during our march." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "If a 20,000 army is entangled by 5,000 cavalry on the plain, there is a high probability that we will be hated , If you don’t die, you have to peel off your skin, and when you reach Jingnan, even half of your troops may not be able to stay.”
"The military adviser is thoughtful, and the general will understand." Guan Yu clasped his fists and agreed.
How powerful the cavalry is, Guan Yu is also very clear.
Once infantry and cavalry encounter each other on the plain, it is a dead end. Even if the infantry has the upper hand, they will be dragged to death by the cavalry sooner or later...
Zhuge Liang began to dispatch food and supplies, Guan Yu began to let the army build ships, and the whole Xuzhou began to prepare for the battlefield.
Qingzhou, Linzi.
"Ziyi, you and Lingming kid made a lot of money this time!" Zhang Liao looked envious, "Going out not only wiped out Wuhuan, but also defeated Liaodong. It's a pity that I squatted in Qingzhou and did nothing."
"Hahaha, just envy you." Hua Xiong was very proud.
"Uncle Zhang, didn't we come to help you? Let's take down Xuzhou later." Pang De said immediately.
"That's right, take down Xuzhou." Zhang Liao immediately looked to the other side and asked, "You two military advisers, what advice do you have?"
Fazheng and Sima Yi, who were chatting, looked at each other when they heard the words, and Fazheng took over the conversation, saying: "We have cavalry, wait until Liu Bei sends troops to Jingnan, send the cavalry to catch up and strangle them, and then surround Tan County without attacking." , relying on logistics to consume the opponent to death."
Fazheng's method is obviously to bully people, first use long-legged cavalry to bully short-legged infantry.
Then use the strong national strength of the Great Qin Dynasty to compete with Xuzhou for logistics and national strength, and win Xuzhou in this way.
The food in Daqin must be more than that in Xuzhou, and the energy consumption will kill Xuzhou.
The three generals looked at each other, definitely this plan is very good, and it is very possible to win Xuzhou.
"Master wiped out Jiangdong, we wiped out Liu Bei, then only Cao Cao's family will be left, and they will still be in the Central Plains, so there is no way to escape." Pang De couldn't help laughing.
Just as everyone was laughing and laughing, a scout hurried into the house.
"Report!"
"Liu Bei set off from Tan County and took a boat to the south of Surabaya."
"Walk by water?!" Zhang Liao was surprised when he heard this.
Everyone quickly realized that once Liu Bei took the water, the cavalry would be useless.
"Take Surabaya, enter the Huaihe River, and enter Jingbei area all the way. Our cavalry can't catch up." Sima Yi said slowly.
Fazheng was unhappy when he heard the words, and Liu Bei's actions exceeded his plan, which made Fazheng, who must repay him, very unhappy, and his face showed a fierce look.
"I don't know good and bad things!" Fazheng scolded, "Generals, let the army surround Tan County and let the cavalry trample the seedlings in the field!"
"I don't believe it, I can't cure a little Liu Bei!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and they all thought in their hearts that this is too cruel, and don't offend Fazheng if you offend anyone. .
