The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 593 15 years

On both sides of Guandu, large armies gather, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are on the front line in person, and a battle that will determine the situation in the Central Plains is about to start here.

Perhaps it was a coincidence of history, or perhaps it was an inevitability of history. Although Liu Bei replaced Yuan Shao, the battle of Guandu, which has been passed down through the ages, is still coming.

However, because Liu Bei replaced Yuan Shao, the cosmetic surgery and strength of both parties also changed drastically.

Although Liu Bei's strength is still much higher than that of Cao Cao, but here at Guandu, Cao Cao has more troops than Liu Bei, because neither of them is the slow-growing prince in history.

The Battle of Guandu in history took place around 15 AD, and now it is 15 AD, which happens to be the No. [-] year when Chen Ziming traveled to this era. That is to say, Chen Ziming spent [-] years helping The mighty Han Empire established by Liu Bei.

In 15 years, the princes of the world were cleaned up, leaving only the three famous princes in history.

In 15 years, under the guidance of Chen Ziming, Liu Bei swept all the foreign races around the Han Dynasty. That is to say, even now, the three major princes have lost both sides, and the power of the Han Dynasty has been greatly damaged. In a short period of time, there will be no foreign races that can threaten The people of the Central Plains are safe.

It is also impossible for the incident of Wu Huanhua to recur again. Although Chen Ziming failed to unify China after 15 years, he eliminated all future troubles and established Liu Bei's unification of the world.

In 15 years, Chen Ziming not only eliminated the future troubles of the clan world, but also planted the seeds of development in the land of China, laying a solid foundation for the long-term survival and strength of China.

To put it bluntly, even if Liu Bei is defeated in the end, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Quan who wins the world, it is impossible to know the science left by Chen Ziming, and it is impossible to know the colleges established by Chen Ziming.

Unless there is a figure like Qin Shihuang, and another person who burns books and confuses Confucianism, the traces left by Chen Ziming will never be cleared.

Moreover, is it possible for Liu Bei to fail? Unless a thunder falls from the sky and kills all Liu Bei's civilians and soldiers, and wipes out the millions of troops in Liu Bei's hands, otherwise, relying on strong combat effectiveness, huge military strength, and terrifying logistics Ability, not Chen Ziming's bragging, standing here for Cao Cao and Sun Quan to beat casually.

Unless there is a historical result of the Battle of Guandu, which makes Cao Cao turn against the sky, or a Battle of Chibi, it may reduce Liu Bei's strength and give Cao Cao and Sun Quan a chance to stabilize the situation.

But is this possible? With Chen Ziming and a luxurious group of advisers, no matter how courageous Cao Cao is, how amazing Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others are, what can they do with Liu Bei.

It can be said that since Liu Bei got Chen Ziming, the defeat of Cao Cao and Sun Quan has been decided. Regardless of talent, accumulation of strength, or protracted combat power, Liu Bei is far better than Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Although they are not weak now, they can be compared to Liu Bei. , a lot worse.

Now that the two are joining forces, there is not much pressure on Liu Bei. This is the foundation, this is the long-term development, and this is the potential for war.

In this battle, regardless of whether Cao Cao and Sun Quan won or lost, their strengths have been greatly reduced, and their foundations have been exhausted. I don't know how many years it will take to develop again, but Liu Bei is different, that is, the army of millions is wiped out. As long as Liu Bei is given a little time, he will soon be able to form a million elite again.

This is what Chen Ziming has accomplished in 15 years. Chen Ziming has only one purpose, to maintain the strength of the Han Dynasty. He does not want to unify the world with one, to fragment China and let the people of the Central Plains be slaughtered by foreigners.

"His Majesty, General Zhang Liao stationed [-] troops in each of Wuchao, Yanjin, Pingqiu, and Baima. The rest of the army is in Liyang, waiting for His Majesty's orders." Liu Bei reported the situation of the army.

"Where are Cao Cao's soldiers and horses?" Liu Bei looked serious, and asked Cao Cao's situation in a deep voice.

Ju Shou leaned over and said, "According to the Dark Guard, Cao Cao's 35 troops have already arrived at Guandu and set up several camps on the south bank."

"How are the warships prepared?" Liu Bei remained unmoved and continued to ask about the preparations of the army.

"Report to Your Majesty." Ju Shou replied smoothly: "General Zhang Liao has built five water villages on the north bank, and each water village has more than [-] ships of all sizes."

"Li Yang is too far away from Guandu." After a moment of silence, Liu Bei's eyes flickered with murderous intent, and he immediately ordered: "The army is moving out, and the troops are coming to Yanjin!"

"promise!"

Everyone did not dare to disagree, and immediately took orders. Zhang Liao led an army to accompany Liu Bei, Zang Ba was the left army, and Ma Chao was the right army. Nearly 30 troops gathered on the north bank of Guandu, looking across the river from Cao Cao's army.

Although Liu Bei only deployed nearly 30 troops in the Guandu area, they were all the best of the best, including Zhang Fei's [-] heavy cavalry and [-] thunderbolt troops.

And Cao Cao was not to be outdone, he not only sat in Guandu himself, brought his group of advisers with him, but also mobilized many soldiers and horses, hoping to fight Liu Bei to determine the outcome.

Cao Ren in Yanzhou had 35 troops, Lejin in Yuzhou had [-] troops, Li Dian in Jingzhou had [-] troops, and Cao Cao brought [-] troops from Luoyang, making a total of [-] troops, which was more than Liu Bei's troops.

Not to mention the counselors, they brought everything they could bring. As for generals, they were not much worse than Liu Bei.

Liu Bei Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Chen Dao and other top generals, but Cao Cao has Lu Bu, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Li Dian, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, and other generals.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that it is inappropriate for the army to gather food and grass in Wuchao. If there is any mistake, the army will be in danger." When Zhang Liao heard Liu Bei ordered the army to gather food and grass in Wuchao, he was shocked and hurriedly asked Liu Bei to see him. Liu Bei set the place to collect grain and grass in the rear.

You must know that Wuchao is still in front of Yanjin, and it is too close to Guandu. Once Cao Cao knows the news, Cao Cao will definitely try to sneak attack.

Liu Bei was unmoved after hearing this, and immediately said: "There is no need to discuss this matter again, and you can do it as you please."

"No..." Zhang Liao still wanted to say something, but Liu Bei's expression knew that Liu Bei could not be persuaded, so he could only agree, but he went to discuss with Chen Ziming in private.

"The army is distributed all over the place, and it is my intention to dispatch it for Wuchao's advantage." Chen Ziming flatly rejected Zhang Liao's request. Wuchao is the most suitable place to collect grain and grass, and a huge granary has already been set up, and it will be changed at will.

"Hey." Zhang Liao still felt that something was wrong, but this was the decision of Liu Bei and Chen Ziming. He had no choice but to secretly send troops to strengthen Wuchao's defense, and at the same time ordered the left and right soldiers to reinforce Wuchao at any time.
