The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

The person who said this was Xun Yu.

When Wang Yun heard someone objecting to his plan, he immediately turned his head and looked at the people behind him.

After seeing that it was Xun Yu, he looked down on it a bit.

Xun Yu is several years younger than Xun You.

But Xun Yu is Xun You's uncle.

Speaking of which, there is still a lot to say. Xun Yu and Xun You's fathers are both one of the eight dragons of the Xun family in Yingchuan.

This is the eight dragons of the Xun family.

There are also some names.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the most influential family in the entire Central Plains was the Yingyin Xun family.Xun Shu in the Eastern Han Dynasty was the No. 11 grandson of Xunqing in the Warring States Period.

At that time, celebrities Li Gu and Li Ying both worshiped him as their teacher, and later became the minister of Langling.Xun Shu acted wisely and was known as the "God King".His 8 sons are also famous for their talents, and they are called "Xun's Eight Dragons". His sixth son, Xun Shuang, is the most famous, and his official rank is Sikong.

Xun Shuang and Wang Yun have a good relationship.

And Xun Yu is Xun Shuang's nephew. After all, when Xun Yu saw Wang Yun, he had to call him uncle.

Although the Xun family is very famous, seeing Wang Yun, seniority is not enough.

Naturally, seeing Xun Yu questioning and opposing him, Wang Yun somewhat despised him.

"Wen Ruo, you are a young man, what do you know?"

Although Xun Yu has already passed his thirties this year, at this age, in terms of Wang Yun's body, it is not a problem to call him a young man.

After all, among those present, even Liu Bei was a few years older than Xun Yu.

Wang Yun is almost sixty years old.

When Xun Yu saw Wang Yun, he looked down on him a little bit, but he didn't argue with Wang Yun.

He just turned his head and looked at Liu Bei.

"Liu Gong, I believe that it is time to send troops to surprise Jizhou!"

Chapter 48 Planning

"Send troops to surprise Jizhou? Hahaha, Wen Ruo, are you kidding me?"

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Wang Yun immediately laughed.

Not to mention anything else, Jizhou is the place where Liu Zheng led the army and went. If Liu Bei also intervened, wouldn't it be the start of a scuffle.

Not to mention, Liu Zheng mobilized tens of thousands of troops to go to Jizhou. If Liu Bei wants to get a share of the pie, how many soldiers and horses will he need.

Just the fact that Liu Zheng's troops are stationed here is enough for Liu Bei to avoid the edge temporarily, and it would be better to choose to attack other places.

Wang Yun thought of this, and after Xun Yu said this idea, he immediately began to mock him.

Liu Bei, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others probably thought the same as Wang Yun at this time, but their relationship with Xun Yu was not bad, so they didn't open their mouths to question.

They just turned their eyes to Xun Yu, waiting for Xun Yu to answer Wang Yun's question, and at the same time answer the doubts in their hearts.

Liu Bei looked at Xun Yu and didn't quite understand why Xun Yu said that.

"Wen Ruo, why do you say that? Do you have any insight?"

Xun Yu raised his hand, took a step forward, held his chin, and spoke softly.

"Liu Gong, our army is short of food and grass. Even if we can make up some food and grass temporarily, it will definitely not be able to support an army of more than [-] in a war. Therefore, even if we want to send troops, we must definitely send out elite troops."

"The dispatch of troops depends on the quality, not the number. Since we can only dispatch a small group of soldiers and horses, then we should try our best to choose cavalry, which is very mobile. At the same time, it can also deal the biggest blow to Liu Zheng!"

Xun Yu didn't say why he sent troops to Jizhou, but first explained to Liu Bei how to send troops.

When such a sentence was uttered, several people present had already understood it a little bit.

Jia Xu, who stood beside Xun Yu, nodded immediately after listening to Xun Yu's words, but he was not good at words, and he didn't like to talk.

When no one asked him, he was a transparent person and hardly spoke.

Liu Bei also nodded after Xun Yu finished speaking.

I quite agree with Xun Yu's words.

"Wen Ruo talks a lot, even if we want to send [-] troops, we won't be able to mobilize so many soldiers for the time being. After all, those yellow turban thieves in Bingzhou still have to be let go."

"Since we choose to send out surprise soldiers and cause some troubles for Liu Zheng, we can only dispatch some cavalry. We currently have [-] cavalry, and [-] are cavalry trained from horses we recently purchased from the Huns. Commanded by General Zhao Yun."

"The remaining 1 people are war horses drawn from Xiliang, commanded by General Ma Chao. With these two men commanding the army, it shouldn't be a problem to attack Liu Zheng."

Liu Bei thought about it carefully, and after Xun Yu's words, he summed up the elite troops that could be mobilized now.

"What Liu Gong said is exactly what I think. If we only mobilize [-] cavalry, we will not need so much food and grass. Moreover, the cavalry is very capable and can cause great disturbance to Liu Zheng."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I think the reason for sending troops to Jizhou instead of other states is that we don't want to fight back the territory occupied by Liu Zheng. Our purpose is to interfere with Liu Zheng's attack on Yuan Xi in the north."

"As long as there are 3 of our troops stationed in Jizhou, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses will not dare to move. If he attacks Yuan Xi with all his strength, we will attack his rear by surprise. Liu Zheng's cavalry is not many, and it will not be at all. The opponent of my army."

"If we don't fight Yuan Xi and Liu Zheng attacks us instead, we will let the cavalry retreat. Even with [-] cavalry, Liu Zheng's men and horses will not be able to pursue them."

"Furthermore, if Liu Zheng doesn't fight on both sides, but just spends time in Jizhou, we don't have to be afraid of An. We only have 3 people, but Liu Zheng has mobilized several times our number of troops. Their food and grass are consumed. Much more than us."

"If it is delayed, it will only be good for us, and there will be no harm."

"After a long time, our recuperation came back, but Liu Zheng fell into a situation of food shortage. At that time, we will gather our forces and encircle and suppress Liu Zheng."

Xun Yu explained his plan in detail, and Wang Yun, who had doubts about it, immediately shut up.

Not only Wang Yun, but several others understood Xun Yu's plan.

"Wen Ruo, it's wonderful, this plan is very clever."

"Yes, we don't need to dispatch too many troops to contain Liu Zheng's tens of thousands of troops. This plan is fine!"

Both Cheng Yu and Xun You immediately gave Xun Yu a high degree of approval.

In fact, Xun Yu's plan was not unexpected to them, but Liu Bei led him astray at the very beginning.

Thinking of attacking Liu Zheng with all his strength, he completely ignored the others.

However, Xun Yu's plan was not to attack mainly, but mainly to contain Liu Zheng so that Liu Bei's men could recuperate during this period of time.

Now it is March and April, and it only needs to be delayed for half a year. After the autumn harvest, after the first batch of grain and grass are harvested, Liu Bei's men will have enough grain and grass again.

He can start another war, but at that time, Liu Zheng is busy with the war in the north, which consumes a lot of money, and there may be a shortage of food and grass.

For Liu Bei, it was an excellent plan, and it didn't hurt left or right.

"This plan is very good, Wen Ruo, don't worry about it."

"Then follow what Wen Ruo said, go down and get ready, time is running out, send an order immediately, and order General Ma Chao and General Zhao Yun to come and see me."

After Liu Bei discussed with all the counselors, he immediately sent an order for his generals to come to see him.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun hurried to Liu Bei's mansion.

After learning that they were going to lead an army to deal with Liu Zheng, both Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were extremely excited.

Ma Chao was excited because at a young age, he was able to fight against a hero like Liu Zheng at that time. He couldn't be more excited. After all, Lu Bu was under Liu Zheng's command. Back then, Lu Bu was the strongest general in the world.

Ma Chao has always wanted to fight Lu Bu to improve his reputation.

It's just that there was no chance, and now I finally have a chance.

But Zhao Yun is excited because this time, he can finally avenge his former leader, Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan died under the hands of Liu Zheng. Although Liu Zheng did not kill him himself, he died because of Liu Zheng. Zhao Yun has always cared about this hatred.

Given this opportunity, Zhao Yun naturally had to make good use of it.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao went straight to the barracks after receiving orders, mobilized [-] troops, and headed straight for Hulao Pass.

After leaving Hulaoguan, he went to Chenliu, Yanzhou and other places, and directly killed Jizhou.

Chapter 49 Important News

If you want to go to Jizhou, you must go to Yanzhou.

It just so happened that Yanzhou is still in the hands of Liu Bei, and his third brother Zhang Fei and the tiger general Xu Chu are stationed here.

The soldiers and horses stationed in Yanzhou were originally used to guard against Jizhou and Xuzhou.

It can be regarded as the most forward position in Liu Bei's hands, with many soldiers and horses.

It can be seen from the military generals Liu Bei placed here.

Of course, it is precisely because there are a large number of soldiers and horses arranged in Yanzhou.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao only brought 3 cavalry, which was enough to fight from here to Jizhou.

Grain supplies can be delivered from Yanzhou. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao only need to use Yanzhou as their base to disrupt Liu Zheng's pace of attacking Youzhou.

Tens of thousands of cavalry set off from Luoyang to Yanzhou, but it took only a few days.

And during the time when the soldiers and horses went to Yanzhou.

Liu Zheng's army had already arrived at Lecheng County at this time.

Lecheng County.

Two days ago, Xu Huang's army had arrived here first.

Xu Huang's original plan was to use his troops to directly attack Lecheng County.

However, this Yuan Xi seemed to be well prepared. Around Lecheng, there were a lot of pits and pits for horse refusal and horse trapping. The cavalry had no way to rampage on this battlefield.

Xu Huang knew that Yuan Xi was in the city, so he didn't rush to attack the city, but let his soldiers surround the city first.

He planned to wait for Liu Zheng's main army to come from here, and then gather forces to launch an attack on the city.

But Xu Huang's plan soon fell through.

It was the second day after he led people to surround Lecheng County.

A group of cavalry suddenly appeared outside Lecheng County.

As soon as this group of people appeared, they immediately attacked Xu Huang and the others without any second thoughts.

Both sides are cavalry.

The speed of fighting is also very fast.

But as soon as the enemy army appeared, Xu Huang had already seen through their identities.

After all, the cavalry under Xu Huang were all elite heavy cavalry.

He was fully armed.There is not only a complete set of horse armor, but also cavalry armor.

Ordinary weapons can't break through the protection of these heavy cavalry at all.

However, these cavalry of the enemy army did not have much protection ability, and most of them were light cavalry composed of soldiers and ordinary horses.

Xu Huang didn't even need to think too much about these cavalry before he was able to determine that they were the cavalry of the Karasuma people.

After all, even the cavalry deployed by Liu Bei's imperial army will more or less have some protective armor.

Only the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei and other foreign races, because they don't have much forging ability, the cavalry formed are mostly horses.

There are not many other protective gears on the horse.

This kind of cavalry has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that there is no heavy armor, and the speed of sitting on the horse is faster and the endurance is stronger.

Being able to go back and forth quickly in a short period of time, it is a bit difficult to travel [-] miles a day, but it is more than enough to run two or three hundred miles.

Of course, the disadvantage is that such cavalry who have no protective ability at all, when encountering real heavy cavalry, of course they cannot compare with the charge of heavy cavalry.

Once you fight, you will lose the wind.

At this point, the cavalry led by Ta Dun had seen the power of Xu Huang's heavy cavalry last year.

Of course, Tadun is not completely incapable of dealing with it.

They can rely on the relatively large number of horses, and use their advantage in numbers to deal a blow to Xu Huang's cavalry.

At the same time, these cavalry under Ta Dun are good at riding and shooting.
