The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 342 Negotiation
Chapter 350 Discussion

Xiapi, Xuzhou, the capital of Xuzhou, a prosperous and prosperous city in the Han Dynasty, is now full of banners, soldiers and horses everywhere, and a sense of killing is overflowing.

Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were hoarded around Xiapi, and Xiapi City looked like a huge military camp.In the Mansion of the Lord of Xiapi City, Liu Bei, the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, is calling many civil and military officials to discuss the war.

"Your Majesty, according to the spy report, Cao Cao's army has passed through Pei County, and the forward general Le Jin led 28 troops to Dingtao City." Now Ju Shou, who is in charge of intelligence collection, came out and said: "Cao Cao led [-] troops for two days. Then you can reach Dingtao City, and Cao Hong, the general of Cao Cao, led [-] troops to pass through Zhuiyang and head towards Huaiyang."

"Cao Mengde's coming is menacing, can all the soldiers and horses be ready?" Liu Bei was wearing an imperial robe, sitting at the head with a serious face, looking down at the civil and military people in the conference hall.

"Report to Your Majesty." Xu Shu came out and said, "Dingtao City has General Zhang Jaw's [-] troops stationed there, so nothing will be lost. Huaiyang has General Tai Shici's [-] troops, and Cao Hong will not be allowed to succeed."

"Now there are [-] soldiers under the command of General Zhang Ji in Xiapi City, and [-] Qiang soldiers under the command of General Zhao Yun outside Xiapi City, which can ensure the stability of Xuzhou."

"Report to Your Majesty, all the food and grass soldiers needed by the various armies should be concentrated in Xiapi City, and they can be dispatched at any time to use by the various armies, and there will be no loss." Liu Ye, who was in charge of food and grass dispatch, stood up and assured Liu Bei.

"Very good." After listening to everyone's reports, Liu Bei nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Guo Jia, who was not in a good mood, and said, "Feng Xiao, are you in good health?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm well." Guo Jia said in a weak voice, "Your Majesty, it's late autumn now, the weather is getting colder, and this battle may be hard to tell for a while, so you should prepare more things for the winter."

"Feng Xiao is at ease, Zizhong has sent a large amount of heating supplies, and he is on his way, and he will arrive in Xuzhou in a few days." Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia worriedly.

Guo Jia fell ill during the conquest of Liangzhou. If Chen Ziming hadn't gone to replace Guo Jia, the consequences would have been disastrous. After returning to Linzi, he asked the genius doctor Hua Tuo to help, and finally brought Guo Jia's condition under control.

After several months of recuperation, Guo Jia's condition improved a lot, but when Cao Cao and Sun Ce joined forces to attack, and Chen Ziming was far away in Liangzhou, Liu Bei had no choice but to use Guo Jia again.

Among the entire Liu Bei Group, only Guo Jia can compete with Chen Ziming, and the others are a little bit worse, and Liu Bei can only feel at ease if Guo Jia is by his side.

As for Jia Xu, Liu Bei knew that he had great talent, but how powerful he was, no one except Chen Ziming really knew Jia Xu's terror, and Jia Xu had never shown his talent, although Jia Xu also came with him this time, But he didn't get Liu Bei's important task. Liu Bei just gave Jia Xu the same staff position as Jushou.

If Chen Ziming found out, he would have to scold Liu Bei for being a prodigal, and put such a perverted guy aside, what if he got moldy.

"Your Majesty." Guo Jia took a deep breath, adjusted his body, and then said: "Cao Cao came to attack this time, and he definitely wanted a quick victory. After all, his rule is far from that of my big man, and his background is far inferior to my big man."

"Your Majesty should order all the soldiers and horses to avoid their fronts, and they can't defend themselves. After a long time, Cao Cao will definitely run out of food and grass, and his rear will be unstable, so he will retreat." Guo Jia offered advice for Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei's territory is much larger than Cao Cao's, and It is much richer than Cao Cao's side. Over time, Liu Bei, who has a deep foundation, will definitely gain the upper hand gradually, while Cao Cao has a weak foundation, and he is not qualified to compete with Liu Bei at all.

"Very good." Liu Bei nodded gratifiedly, and then ordered all the soldiers and horses to focus on defense, try not to fight Cao Jun, and delay as long as possible.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Sun Ce has sent many generals to attack Linyin Mountain in the east of the Yangtze River recently, and the defenders of Linyin Mountain have suffered great losses." Chen Deng has been paying attention to Guan Yu's army facing Sun Ce's troops in the south of Xuzhou.

"Although Linyin Mountain is dangerous, it is not a pass and cannot be defended." Xu Shu hastily reminded Liu Bei that Linyin Mountain is not a fortress.

"Hey." Liu Bei sighed, and said helplessly: "Sun Ce's 40 troops marched in both water and land, and the onslaught was fierce. Yun Chang only had 30 soldiers and horses, and Gan Ning's [-] sailors were still on the coast of Xuzhou. It's worry."

"Your Majesty." Chen Gui said, "The general is well-mannered, and with the help of Xu Huang and Gao Lan, and the conspiracy of Pang Tong, he can protect the forest and the mountain."

Guan Yu is the No. 1 in the Liu Bei Group's military, and his martial arts and strategy are very good. He also has generals Xu Huang and Gao Lan to help him, and the well-known Pang Tong is planning, and his strength is not weak.

"Brother, why don't I go and help the second brother." Zhang Fei, who had been bored by the side, suddenly asked Liu Bei for his life.

"Huh?" Liu Bei listened to Zhang Fei's words and began to think about it. He also wanted to send troops to reinforce Guan Yu. Although Sun Ce's troops were weaker than Cao Cao's, Liu Bei's main enemy is still Cao Cao, but it is not impossible for Sun Ce to be as famous as Cao Cao. Ordinary people, if there is a mistake in Linyin Mountain, the hundreds of thousands of troops here will face the back and forth attacks of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

"General Zhang, don't worry." At this moment, Jia Xu, who had been seldom speaking, suddenly said: "Although Sun Ce stormed Linyin Pass on the surface, in my opinion, it was just a bluff, and General Guan will not fail. .”

"Oh?" Liu Bei regained his energy immediately upon hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "Wen He, how should we solve this matter?"

"Your Majesty." After bowing slightly to Liu Bei, Jia Xu said, "Although Sun Ce and Cao Cao join forces to attack my big man, if they repel Your Majesty, Cao Cao will gain the most."

"If your majesty retreats to Xuzhou, Xuzhou will lose too much soldiers and horses, and will be unable to defend Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places. When Cao Cao needs to return to the army and attack various places, his strength will be greatly increased."

"Looking at Sun Ce again, if His Majesty is defeated, he can only go halfway to Xuzhou at most. Compared with Cao Cao, it is far behind. Now Cao Cao is far superior to Sun Ce. If Cao Cao is allowed to grow bigger, it will not be good for Sun Ce."

"Now Sun Ce can only pretend to attack Xuzhou, and then watch Cao Cao and His Majesty fight again. After the two sides lose each other and lose both sides, he can seek benefits from it."

Jia Xu's words stunned everyone in the hall, but many people thought that Jia Xu was just rhetoric without any real evidence.

"According to General Guan Yu's report, Sun Ce ordered his troops to storm Linyin Mountain every day. How could it be false? If Linyin Mountain is not reinforced in time, our army will be in danger when the troops of Linyin Mountain retreat." Xu You immediately refuted Jia Xu's opinion and said Point out the harm, thinking that Jia Xu is misleading Liu Bei.
