The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 57 Liu Biao Sends Troops
Hearing Cao Cao's question, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Liu Biao is nothing to be afraid of. Although Jingzhou has [-] troops, half of them are navy troops, and the remaining [-] troops have to defend various places. The maximum number of troops that can be dispatched is only [-]. And There are no generals in Jingzhou, it is enough to have Xiahou Dun and Man Chong guard Runan, and Cao Ren and Xun Yu guard Xudu! At present, the most important thing for us is to completely occupy Jizhou and unify the north."

"Haha... Feng Xiao's words are exactly what I want, but Liu Bei is currently in Jingzhou. If Liu Biao uses Liu Bei to lead troops to attack Xuchang, what should he do?"

"My lord, although Liu Biao and Liu Bei belong to the same clan, they will never be completely trusted. Moreover, most of the real power in Jingzhou is in the hands of Cai, Kuai and other big families, so Liu Biao will definitely not let Liu Biao reuse Liu Bei."

"That's right, it's a pity that Liu Xuande has all the skills and a group of powerful generals, but he has no foundation, so he can only run around. Haha..., after I clean up Yuan Shao's sons, I will go and destroy Liu Bei. Come, send orders to Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren , defend the city, and wait for me to return from victory."

"Yes!"

After the messenger left, Cao Cao asked again: "If the guess is correct, Jingzhou should be bluffing this time, so what exactly is Liu Biao trying to do?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Jingzhou must have plans this time, either Zhang Lu or Jiangdong."

Jiangdong, Wu Jun, and Sun Quan are looking at a piece of information.

According to the intelligence, Jingzhou is dispatching troops and generals to requisition food and grass, and prepare to go north to attack Xuchang.

Liu Biao, this old fellow, has lost his mind?Sun Quan couldn't help thinking this way, ten years ago, he might have had the courage, but now he definitely can't.

The intelligence also stated that the Zhenxi General Mansion in Jingzhou issued orders to the counties in Jingzhou, asking the local guards to defend carefully. Because Xiangyang was going north for an expedition, it was unable to provide support to the counties.

Sun Quan felt that this matter was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell where it was, so he said, "Come here, call Zhou Dudu to come to discuss the matter."

Jiang Xia, Zhang Wu also wondered after receiving the military order from General Zhenxi's Mansion, why did Liu Biao and Cai Mao have the guts to fight Cao Cao?There is no such thing in the original book. When Yuan Shao was still alive, Liu Biao did not send troops. Now that the Yuan family is about to perish, does Liu Biao feel that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold?
Anyway, Zhang Wu felt that Liu Biao's sending troops was a good thing, because it would delay Cao Cao's process of destroying the Yuan family and buy him some time.

The happiest person to hear this news was Liu Bei, who had already suggested that Liu Biao send troops to stab Cao Cao's chrysanthemum!

So Liu Bei excitedly went to Liu Biao and asked to lead his troops to the expedition.

As a result, Liu Biao sent him back on the grounds that he was not ready, and said that he would be notified when he was ready.Liu Bei had no choice but to go back to Xinye and wait, and his colleagues stepped up training soldiers.

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan in a row in Hebei, and Yuan's group abandoned Li Yang.Cao Cao pursued to Jizhou, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang entered the city and stood firm, Yuan Xi and Gao Gan went to the village [-] miles away from the city, and became horns of each other.

Cao Cao's troops were unable to attack for several days, and news came that Liu Biao had sent troops from Jingzhou. The army was led by Wen Pin, and Cai He and Cai Zhong, Cai Mao's younger brothers, also led the army.

Guo Jia persuaded Cao Cao: "The Yuan family abolished the elders and established the younger ones, and Yuan Shao's sons were not united. They fought for power and formed their own cliques. If you attack them urgently, they will rescue each other. If you slow down, they will They will fight with each other. Now the siege has been going on for several days, and the soldiers are so tired, it is better to withdraw the troops temporarily, restore morale, and when the Yuan brothers fight, they will be defeated in one fell swoop. At the same time, we can also observe whether Liu Biao is really sending troops or pretending to send troops .”

Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's suggestion, and the army temporarily retreated, ordering Jia Xu to guard Liyang, Cao Hong to guard Guandu, and led the army to retreat to Xuchang.

When Liu Bei heard that Xiangyang had sent troops, he hurried to find Liu Biao and asked to join the battle.

Liu Biao looked at the eager expression on Liu Bei's face and couldn't understand why you still wanted to fight Cao Cao so much, since you have never defeated Cao Cao in your life.
"Xuande, let me tell you the truth, this dispatch of troops is actually just a bluff, to cause some trouble for Cao Cao, to delay the time for Yuan's demise, not to really attack Xuchang." Liu Biao couldn't help telling Liu Bei the truth.

"Ah? This... Brother Jing Sheng, Cao Cao's main force is still in Hebei. If he really sends troops, he may be able to defeat Xuchang and save the emperor. If Cao Cao destroys the Yuan family and dominates the north, then there will be no chance. ah!"

After all, Liu Bei has fought for most of his life, so he still has this vision. This guy Yuan Shao is really an idiot. He played such a bad hand with a good hand, it's too watery!

"Xuande, even if you really send troops, Jingzhou's soldiers can't beat Cao Cao's soldiers. The most elite Jingzhou soldiers are navy troops, and if you want to go north to conquer Cao Cao, you need infantry and cavalry. Jingzhou has no cavalry, and the infantry is not as good as Cao Cao's men. How can our elite soldiers win!"

In fact, Liu Bei also knew about these situations. At the beginning, Yuan Shao had enough fine food and countless generals, but he still couldn't beat Cao Cao.Although Liu Biao is also a hero in the world, he is still far behind Cao Cao. Even if Liu Bei leads the soldiers of Jingzhou by himself, he may not be able to beat Cao Cao.

well!I hate that I have no foundation and no military adviser who is proficient in military affairs!

Liu Bei returned to Xinye depressed again, only to find that Zhang Wu was drinking tea and chatting with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others in the lobby.

After Zhao Yun returned from Xiangyang, he told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei what Zhang Wu had said: "For a warrior of our generation, dying in battle and being shrouded in horse leather is the greatest honor, and dying in bed at old age is the greatest shame." After hearing this, Guan Zhang strongly agreed. , the impression of Zhang Wu has also improved a lot.

Guan, Zhang, Zhao and others followed Liu Bei to fight on the battlefield. They wanted to show what they had learned all their lives, and they also wanted to make contributions and leave a name in history. Even if they traveled around, they had no regrets.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have followed Liu Bei for nearly 20 years. Zhao Yun first voted for Gongsun Zan and then followed Liu Bei for more than ten years. Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others have also followed Liu Bei for many years. I have no choice but to use honor, ideals, beliefs and the like to motivate myself.

Guan Yu has gained some fame so far, and even Boss Cao, the strongest prince in the world, appreciates him very much.It can be said that as long as Guan Yu is willing to change jobs, his status will definitely not be inferior to Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and the like.But Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others basically made no achievements.

Zhang Wu's words can be said to have reached the hearts of generals like Guan Zhangzhao, so they talked very harmoniously with Zhang Wu.

Liu Bei first expressed his gratitude to Zhang Wu for his rescue in Tanxi, and then asked, "Why did General Zhang come to Xinye?"
