The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 319 New Legion

Chapter 330 The New Legion
"Your Majesty, I just received a secret report from the secret guard that Sun Ce from Jiangdong raised 30 troops to attack Xuzhou." In the Linzi Imperial Palace, in Liu Bei's study, Chen Gong hurriedly begged to see Liu Bei with the secret report from the secret guard.

"Huh?" Liu Bei frowned, took the secret report and read it carefully, and said, "Cao Cao surrendered Jingzhou Jiangxia to Sun Ce?"

"That's why Sun Ce is willing to send troops to attack Xuzhou, involving His Majesty's troops." Chen Gongdao: "It has been more than three months since General Zhang's army and Cao Cao's army have confronted each other in Hongnong County, and it is difficult to tell the winner. General Taishi's troops Luoyang is being besieged, and Cao Cao is unable to rescue him."

"The only way to save him is to lose the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou and Yanzhou. However, there are His Majesty's troops outside Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Cao Cao dare not easily mobilize the soldiers and horses of the two places."

"Now that Sun Ce is sending troops to attack Xuzhou, Your Majesty needs to send troops from Henan and Yanzhou to the south to resist. Cao Cao can then send troops from Yu and Yanzhou to reinforce Luoyang and break the siege of Luoyang."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he waited for Liu Bei to make up his mind. After all, Sun Ce's army had already set out from Jianye, aiming at Xuzhou.

"What does Gongtai think about this matter?" Liu Bei immediately asked Ji Chengong.

"Your Majesty." Chen Gong immediately said: "Sun Ce's troops must be guarded. Now there is only General Xu Huang with [-] troops in the south of Xuzhou. I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop Sun Ce's army. Send reinforcements immediately."

"Where to send soldiers and horses?" Of course Liu Bei knew that he must send troops and horses for reinforcements. Where to send troops and horses, who to send, and how many troops and horses to send for reinforcements are all questions.

"Your Majesty, I think that Langya Zhangji and Qinghe Zangba can help them." Chen Gong immediately thought of Zhang Ji's troops in Langya County and Qinghe County's Zangba troops who didn't have any combat missions.

Soldiers and horses in other places have combat missions. Xu Sheng's soldiers and horses in Jizhou don't have to think about it. First, they need to be in the north, and second, they are too far away from Xuzhou.

The troops of Panzhang in Taishan County need to guard against Cao Ren in Yanzhou, and the soldiers and horses of Zhangja in Peijun need to guard against Lejin in Yuzhou.

Other than that, there were no other troops to mobilize. Tai Shici was still besieging Luoyang, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Liao were still fighting against Cao Cao's army, and that was the main battlefield.

"No." Liu Bei immediately refused after hearing that Chen Gong wanted to mobilize the troops of Langya and Qinghe, "Ziming once said that the troops of Langya, Taishan and Qinghe cannot be mobilized unless it is a war of overthrowing the country."

"This..." After hearing this, Chen Gong frowned and thought about it. Since Chen Ziming said that these soldiers and horses cannot be mobilized, they will definitely not be able to mobilize them. No one can match Liu Bei's trust in Chen Ziming, but if these soldiers and horses are not mobilized, then What to support Xu Huang, what to use to resist Sun Ce's army.

"Well, I have a conclusion on this matter." Immediately, Liu Bei immediately ordered Zhang Jai to divide [-] troops, Zhang Ji of Langya County [-] troops, Pan Zhang of Taishan County [-] troops, and Zangba of Qinghe County [-] troops to merge. The [-] army, led by the general Gao Lan who stayed in Xiapi, formed a new army and went south to support Xu Huang.

Then he ordered the military department to immediately recruit soldiers and horses to fill up the soldiers and horses in the three counties of Qinghe, Taishan, and Langya. As for the vacancy of the Zhangja Legion in Pei County, it will be replenished after the war.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, our army will not be able to suppress Cao Cao's troops in Yanzhou and Yuzhou. He will definitely send troops to reinforce Luoyang. General Taishi will not be a threat to Luoyang, and the situation of Hongnong will be difficult to break." Chen Gong said immediately .

"Hey." Liu Bei will not know the consequences of doing so, but he has no other way, he can't attack Cao Cao with all his strength now.

If Liu Bei dared to mobilize all the troops to attack Cao Cao, Cao Cao and Sun Ce would definitely mobilize all the troops to besiege Liu Bei immediately. Although Liu Bei was not afraid, the consequences were beyond Liu Bei's control.

Chen Ziming said long ago that they can defeat Cao Cao and Sun Ce now, but the price of victory will be the lives of countless soldiers, and even make the Liu Bei Group collapse, and the entire China decline for hundreds of years.

Because now Liu Bei can't exert an absolute advantage on the alliance of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and can't win easily, and who can guarantee absolute victory in the war, Cao Cao and Sun Ce can't afford to lose, and Liu Bei can't afford to lose either.

All Liu Bei has always tolerated the rampant expansion of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, because Liu Bei needs time to develop and grow. According to Chen Ziming's thinking, Liu Bei will be able to have absolute power to suppress the alliance of Cao Cao and Sun Ce in at most five years, and then it will be unified. time to fight.

"Your Majesty, the navy still has 20 elite troops, and they should be called upon appropriately." Chen Gong thought of Liu Bei's other ace force, which is the elite navy that can be called the best in the world.

"It's too late." Liu Bei said helplessly, "Zi Ming has ordered the navy to go south, preparing to take all the Han sea area under his control, and now the naval fleet has set off."

"Huh?" Chen Gong was taken aback, he had never heard of the navy having combat missions, and Chen Ziming personally ordered them.

"Don't confuse the public platform." Liu Bei explained: "The navy's operations are top secret. Except for me, Ziming, Yunchang, and Xingba, no one else knows about it. You must also keep it a secret."

"No!" Chen Gong immediately agreed. The navy has been exploring the sea area of ​​the Han Dynasty. Chen Gong knows this, and the annual military expenditure on the navy is almost catching up with the huge army. up.

However, Chen Gong's heart is also turbulent, what a magnificent feat it is to hold the entire Great Han Sea in his hands, since ancient times, that emperor has been able to make such great feats.

"Your Majesty, where is the prime minister now? He won't go out with the navy." Chen Gong suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Chen Ziming for a long time, and now he had many doubts and needed to ask Chen Ziming for advice.

"That's not true." Liu Bei shook his head and said, "This naval expedition is under the command of Gan Xingba. Ziming has been busy in Linqu recently. According to Ziming, he will create an artifact that will allow the big man to fly, haha."

When Liu Bei said this, he shook his head helplessly, remembering the appearance of the child Chen Ziming came to bid farewell to him, leaving Liu Bei speechless for a while.

The majestic Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Chen Ziming, the most talented man in the world, was so uneasy when he talked about that thing, but after Chen Ziming talked for a long time, Liu Bei didn't know what Chen Ziming said, which made Liu Bei also look forward to Chen Ziming's speech results.

Liu Bei's words made Chen Gong's heart itch. You must know that everything that Chen Ziming made is a masterpiece, but even if it is printing and papermaking, Chen Ziming did not call it a masterpiece. He said that he would create a shocking artifact, and Chen Gong also wanted to know what it was that Chen Ziming treated it like this, and even left everything and went to sit in the town himself.
