Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 306 Yan Xiang's Plan

At that moment Liu Bei left Chen Gong in the prefect's mansion, while he and Guan Yu went to rectify the soldiers, horses, food and grass.

Although there are nearly [-] soldiers and horses in Lujiang, they cannot all be brought to Yanzhou.

Firstly, many of the soldiers that Yuan Shu had lent to him could not be taken away, and their loyalty was not high; secondly, the newly recruited soldiers did not have enough combat power, so it was useless to take them with them.

Finally, after repeated selection by Liu Bei and Guan Yu, a total of [-] elite soldiers were selected and followed them to Yanzhou.

When Chen Gong saw Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but sighed softly, the 5000 men were really too few.

However, the lineup is neat, the spirit is good, and the weapons and equipment are good. It should be a good army.

As for the number, if it is not enough, it is not enough. Anyway, Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao still has a large army, and this time the attack on Yanzhou is mainly to win by counting, the number is not so important.

"Gongtai, there are only 5000 elite soldiers who can fight in the first battle. It's really embarrassing!" Liu Bei also said with some embarrassment.

Chen Gong laughed, and said: "Uncle Huang, these soldiers are more expensive than elite ones. In my opinion, Uncle Huang's team has a well-organized lineup, well-ordered actions, and must have extraordinary combat power."

Liu Bei felt much more comfortable when he heard Chen Gong say that, and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to my second brother Yun Chang."

"Yun Chang is very brave, he has the courage that is inappropriate, this battle of Yanzhou will definitely be a success!" Chen Gong said.

Hearing this, Liu Bei quickly cupped his hands and said, "This matter depends entirely on the public platform's planning, and Yun Chang and I can follow the plan."

Chen Gong's attitude towards Liu Bei is very useful, and he also knows that with Liu Bei's current power, he values ​​himself very much.

But Chen Gong knew very well in his heart that Liu Bei was definitely not someone who lived under others for a long time. If he was arrogant today, Liu Bei would definitely deal with him when he gained power in the future.

So it's better to do your best now, so as to leave a way out for yourself in the future.

After all, the effect of icing on the cake is much worse than sending charcoal in the snow, and what Liu Bei needs now is someone who gives charcoal in the snow.

"Since the emperor's uncle is ready, it's not too late, let's set off tomorrow, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Chen Gong said.

Liu Bei immediately nodded and said, "According to Gongtai's words, Yun Chang will send an order to go down and leave tomorrow."

"Yes, big brother!" Guan Yu took the order and left.

Liu Bei's stay in Lujiang was not long or short, and as the first state and county to be governed by himself, Liu Bei still had some feelings.

However, Liu Bei also knew in his heart that if he stayed in Lujiang, although he would be free from war for a short period of time and live a happy life, but if he wanted to realize the revenge in his heart, it would be extremely difficult.

Liu Bei was also betting this time, betting on whether he could win Yanzhou. If he could win Yanzhou, many things would be much easier to do.

Moreover, Chen Gong has already promised Liu Bei that as long as Yanzhou is captured this time, Liu Bei will be regarded as the master of Yanzhou.

A large part of the reason why Zhang Miao and Chen Gong wanted to attack Yanzhou was that Cao Cao killed many famous people in Yanzhou headed by Bian Rang. Some of them were friends of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, and they must be avenged!

The next day, according to Chen Gong's request, Liu Bei and Guan Yu quietly took five thousand soldiers and marched to Chenliu.

Although Liu Bei walked secretly, the actions of the 5000 people could not be hidden from others, including Lejiu and Chen Lan, who were sent by Yuan Shu to assist Liu Bei before.

Lejiu and Chen Lan are both generals, and their usual arrangement is to train soldiers.

The maximum number of soldiers in Lujiang County was [-], and now it was [-] less. Anyone who is not a fool can see it.

At first, Le was taken aback, and hurried to the prefect's mansion, wanting to report to Liu Bei.

However, when Le Ji arrived at the prefect's mansion, he found that the mansion was empty, not even a servant.

Le knew that something must have happened, so he hurried back to discuss with Chen Lan, and the two quickly sent scouts to inquire around.

When it was almost noon, a man came back on horseback, saying that he saw Liu Bei leading 5000 troops and heading north.

Lejiu and Chen Lan didn't understand why Liu Bei wanted to go north, so they didn't dare to think too much about it, and didn't dare to delay any longer, so they wrote a book and sent it to Shouchun.

Shouchun Yuan Shu received the news from Lejiu, and after seeing it, he was furious, and shouted: "This general treats Liu Bei well, but now he betrays me, it is really hateful!"

The chief secretary Yan Xiang also looked carefully at the news that Le had sent, and said: "My lord, from this point of view, Liu Bei may want to take advantage of Cao Cao's eastward expedition to Xuzhou and attack Yanzhou from behind."

"What? Liu Bei dares to do this?" Yuan Shu said in disbelief, "With his strength, how can he attack Yanzhou?"

Yan Xiang also frowned, and said: "There must be someone from Yanzhou to meet Liu Bei, that's why Liu Bei dared to leave."

Yuan Shu snorted suddenly and said, "Everyone, why don't I let this general attack Yanzhou?"

"No!" Yan Xiang immediately stopped him.

Yuan Shu stared and asked, "Then Liu Bei can do it, why can't this general!"

"Liu Bei has no worries, but my lord is different." Yan Xiang said, "If my lord leads an army to take Yanzhou, and Cao Cao gets angry when he finds out, he adds troops to Huaiyang. Will it also fall into Cao Cao's hands?"

"This..." After Yuan Shu heard Yan Xiang's words, most of his urge to attack Yanzhou disappeared immediately.

Yang Hong who was beside him also said: "What Lord Yan said is absolutely true, if Huaiyang is exchanged for Yanzhou, then it will be a big loss."

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "However, Liu Bei's rebellion against me is really hateful, but I can order Le Jiu and Chen Lan to lead the army in pursuit."

"No!" Yan Xiang stopped again.

Yuan Shu frowned, and said impatiently, "Master Yan, what's wrong this time?"

"Let's not talk about whether Chen Lan is Liu Bei's opponent or not. Just talk about Lujiang County. It is to contain Liu Biao. If all the troops are exhausted and go after Liu Bei, Liu Biao will take advantage of the situation to attack, it will be very bad." Yan Xiang explained.

Yuan Shu was obviously still angry, and said, "Then let Liu Bei go like this?"

Yan Xiang smiled slightly and said: "Although Cao Cao's Yanzhou is empty, Liu Bei may not be able to attack it. If he fails, he will inevitably return to the lord for help. It will not be too late to deal with Liu Bei."

"What if Liu Bei succeeds?" Yuan Shu asked.

"If Liu Bei succeeds by luck, the lord can use him as a help. After all, when he was in despair, the lord took him in." Yan Xiang said.

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "It's a good deal for him."

Yan Xiang chuckled and said, "With Liu Bei restraining Cao Cao, my lord can still focus on Xuzhou, which is a big and rich state."

Hearing this, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and he nodded slowly.
