Facing Liu Bei's unlucky life, Lu Su was very helpless, but he had to take the order first.

Fa Zheng knew that Liu Bei was just angry, and after receiving the order, he did not forget to secretly tell Li Su: "Don't worry, right general, I will advise the king not to advance rashly. Moreover, this time the king should rescue himself to show his loyalty and righteousness to the world."

Fa Zheng is a utilitarian known for history books. At the age of eighteen, he thought Liu Bei's true loyalty and righteousness so "with ulterior motives". He actually believed that "Liu Bei insisted on making such a show in order to show the world to the people of the world to make the people of the world convinced him of his title of king."

Li Su smiled bitterly when she heard this. This misunderstanding was no longer important. He was too lazy to correct Fa Zheng. However, he believed that Fa Zheng was also aware of it. Even though he was young, he would not make big mistakes. If he sacrificed some military soldiers a little, he would be able to return the name of loyalty and righteousness that moved the world, and completely unite and unite the hearts of the people inside. It would be acceptable.

After all, Liu Bei was so smooth in this life. He only fought some small bumps and small defeats of hundreds of people while fighting against the Yellow Turbans. After partnering with Li Su, he even bought official positions and made contributions. He was promoted too fast in half a year and one level after another. He was easy to float, and there was no way to hit him. After all, he had a bumpy life before he was fifty in his previous life.

Li Su finally forced himself to calm down, thought about the surrounding environment, and realized that the geographical situation of this Northern Expedition was similar to the Baoxia Road of Zhuge Liang's last Northern Expedition in history. Of course, it was just purely geographical similarity. The weather and people were completely different (the seasons were similar, and they were all sent troops in July and August).

So Li Su took advantage of this rare opportunity to explain to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, I am relieved to have you counselors military aircraft, but you are young after all, and you are in such a big battle. After the Wugong Water is released, be sure to divide the troops in Wuzhangyuan to set up your own formation to ensure that the Baoxie intersection will not be surrounded by the enemy. In this way, even if our army is not good, there is still a way out. In addition, we must cut down trees as soon as possible and set up a raft on the Wugong Water to cross the river at any time.

In addition, the king's troops are not mainly for war. The key is that he bluffed and scared Li Jue and Guo Si, and he couldn't be scared. Therefore, the troops who were advancing east to rescue the horse must not cross the Wei River north unless they had to, so as not to be exposed to the impact of the Western Liang cavalry. They must advance slowly along the narrow river valley of Weinan and back to the Qinling Mountains. Even if it is not good, it will be easy to retreat to Wuzhangyuan."

Fa Zheng thought for a while: "Don't worry, I have lived in Mei County for more than ten years and have a clear understanding of Wugong Shui, Wuzhangyuan, and even Wugong and Meiyang. I also intend to advance in this way."

Li Su then breathed a sigh of relief.

After Liu Bei took Xu Huang and Fazheng and others away, Li Su immediately explained to Lu Su, who was responsible for house arrest:

"Zijing, you don't really want to put me under house arrest, right? For the sake of this, I think you should replace Xiaozhi and go to Sanguan to defend. Let me leave it to Nanzheng - there are only 5,000 military soldiers in Hanzhong now. Although there are still weapons in the arsenal, they can only recruit farmers temporarily, and the field battle will be defeated at once.

If Baoxi Road is defeated, I will wait for the lord to withdraw and burn the plank road after the lord is retreating. At that time, if the rebels feel that our Yizhou army is weak and can be bullied because of a small victory, they will inevitably go to Chencang Road to attack Sanguan. If no one is careful to guard Sanguan, I am afraid that the business outside Yangping Pass will be destroyed for several years."

Lu Su was very embarrassed, thought about it for a long time, and sighed, "Brother said yes. If the lord asks after he comes back, I will say that he is really worried about the emergency military information in Sanguan. If the king blames the blame, let's take responsibility together. I know that the king is not an over-committed person."

As soon as Liu Bei left, Lu Su's title was changed back to "Lord". After all, Liu Bei had not officially ascended the altar to be the king, so some titles could only be shouted in despair.

Lu Su dared to relax his surveillance of Li Su, and he also knew Liu Bei's temper as a virtuous and honest man.

Although Liu Bei could not do the level of the time when Cao Cao returned from conquering Wuhuan in history, "Although I won by chance, the people who advised me not to go were indeed the old sayings of the country, and I would also like to reward those who stopped me." But Liu Bei was definitely not the stubborn person like Yuan Shao to Tian Feng, so Lu Su dared to relax his control over Li Su a little.

...

The conversation was divided into two parts. While Li Su and Lu Su were planning to do the aftermath in advance, Liu Bei spent only three and a half days to march out of the Baoxi Road, at the same speed as the troops that sneaked into the attack on Meiwu when he "I heard that the emperor was going to abdicate to Dong Zhuo" two months ago. Among these military soldiers, more than a thousand people walked this road two months ago.

As for generals, Liu Bei brought Fa Zheng to the military affairs department, and Qin Mi was also the secretary, and was responsible for the escort of Cheng Ji and the rear army. The military general brought Xu Huang to command the troops, as well as the bodyguard Dian Wei who was given to him by Li Susai.

In addition, considering that this battle mainly relies on attacking the heart, Liu Bei felt that bringing Wu Kuang, who was originally the left-ranking general in the Northern Army of the Capital, might be able to persuade some of the old soldiers of the Northern Army of the Capital who were driven to follow the thief. Unfortunately, Wu Kuang was not in Nanzheng's surveillance at that time, so Liu Bei could only bring Wu Kuang's son Wu Ban and Wu Lan to the army.

These two people are not very good at martial arts and are a little versatile. However, they were considered to be of the age when they left Beijing. They knew a lot of generals and schoolmen in the Northern Army. Maybe they were useful, so they were all arranged according to the Sima of Xu Huang's other troops.

The initial tragic mentality of these two troops was similar. We all knew that we could not defeat it. However, just before the previous time, I suddenly heard from the sky that Dong Zhuo was dead. The joy and sorrow were overturned by 180 degrees, which made people very angry.

The second time obviously, there would be no miracle, but many soldiers were looking forward to the results of the first wallet picking, so they were so brisk that they could not help but fantasize that there would be good things to happen. Maybe once they appeared, they would be scared to the swaying enemy forces again.

Who hasn't even read these ordinary military soldiers? They can't tell the difference between low-probability events in military and political affairs.

Liu Bei looked at the high morale of the soldiers and couldn't bear to point it out. He was just in need of this spirit.

After the forefront arrived at Wuzhangyuan, he rested for a while. Liu Bei ordered to continue advancing east along Weinan. Fa Zheng persuaded Liu Bei to establish a solid camp in Wuzhangyuan, along the Qinling Mountains, Weihe River, and Wugongshui.

But Liu Bei finally agreed to leave a few hundred people to enclose the land, leaving the camp construction work to the rear army who had not yet walked out of the valley, and Cheng Ji was responsible for it. Then he led three thousand people and hurried eastward.

However, Liu Zhibing is still Zhibing after all, and he will not do anything for free. The reason he came this time was because he overestimated the combat power that Wang Yun and Lu Bu could still control, and felt that "the two sides basically had 55 points, and at most 46 points, so if you add me, you will have hope of winning."

So when Liu Bei sent troops, he brought in several times the number of military flags. Along the way, his three thousand men showed their flags to strengthen the army's power. The horses dragged branches on their tails and raised the dust of the battle, bluffing and pretending that there were tens of thousands of people.

In addition, he also knew that the enemy could not know where Zhang Fei was, so he called out the banner of his third brother Zhang Fei and even Zhao Yun.

Because the main force of the rebels was still besieging Chang'an and only sent scouts to harass the surrounding counties or collected grain on the spot, Liu Bei was even more successful when he first sent troops.

When he was in Mei County, he only encountered a few hundred rebels and grain-collecting team guards. Liu Bei took advantage of the enemy's inadvertent attack and actually opened the city gate with the help of the old officials and people in the city, rushed into the county and blocked more than 200 Xiliang soldiers. Only more than 100 people fled from the east gate.

Of course, these Xiliang soldiers were very brave and brave in fighting. It was obviously a 10-to-1 military force ratio, but they actually caused nearly 100 casualties to the Hanzhong military farm soldiers. It can only be said that the quality gap between the two sides was huge. These military farm soldiers had almost no military training. The original plan was to be able to defend the city and throw rolling woods and stones. The hand-to-hand combat skills were too poor.

After recovering Ji County, Liu Bei made some supplies and opened the granary to let all the soldiers have a full meal and rest for a night. The next day, he continued to cross the Wei River south carefully and advanced east along the river valley between Weinan and Qinling Mountains. Then he recovered Wugong County as usual that afternoon, and another victory against hundreds of enemies. In addition, he also repelled five or six enemy scouts along the way, and shot dozens of scouts and cavalry with bows and crossbows.

When he encountered the enemy's escape along the way, Liu Bei tried his best to shake the flag and shout, trying to make the escaped enemies believe that tens of thousands of king-supporting troops came to reinforce.

On the morning of the third day after leaving the valley, Liu Bei had already advanced more than 100 miles east from Wuzhangyuan, and only 150 miles away from Chang'an. However, his advancement had to slow down because he encountered another tributary on the south bank of the Wei River, Luogushui.

At this time, Fa Zheng finally couldn't help but come out and advised him: "My lord should not advance again! It's better to distribute a small number of cavalry scouts to explore the enemy's situation in Chang'an. Even if you want to advance, you must first send warriors to the siege, get in touch with Wang Yun and Lu Bu, and cooperate with the attack.

When we were in the Wugong Water, at least Cheng Jijiu set up a camp to help. If we crossed Luogu Water again, we would never come back if we encountered setbacks. Staying here is enough to form a juncture with Chang'an, and we can divide the rebel forces. This is also a kind of reinforcement to Chang'an!"

After all, Liu Bei knew his weight and would not deliberately die, so he accepted Fa Zheng's suggestion: "Then set up another camp here and put all the flags in the baggage. The camp size should be large. The soldiers went to the hillside of the Qinling Mountains to chop more firewood, and the stove in the camp should burn the fire day and night, and burn it when they didn't cook! Let Dian Wei take a few dead soldiers and break into Chang'an to report to Wang Yun and Lu Bu!"

These suggestions are correct, nothing more than a waste of labor. However, the soldiers had two full meals in Mei County and Wugong and also replenished their food. They were originally military farm soldiers who worked, and construction was the industry, so they had no complaints.

The appearance of Liu Bei did indeed divide the siege of Chang'an. Li Jue divided his troops and rushed to Luo Gushui to meet the enemy. Liu Bei defended the east bank of Luo Gushui, so that the rebels could not make any progress.
