Chapter 153 Liu Ye's troubles
"Second brother, otherwise you don't have to take action this time. Zhou Yu is just a young boy, how can he kill a chicken with a bull's knife? I, Lao Zhang, can easily deal with him."
Zhang Fei said carelessly.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard slightly and nodded in agreement.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was very dissatisfied with his brother for sending his two brothers to deal with a nobody like Zhou Yu.
In his opinion, Zhou Yu is just an arrogant kid. No matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be? Isn't it enough to send Zhang Fei here? He also sent himself here.
After all, the two of them are also world-famous warriors. How can they join forces to deal with a child who is not as good as a weakling and not be laughed to death by others? Even if they win, it will be disgraceful!
Seeing Guan Yu's reaction, Liu Ye hurriedly said: "Two generals, you must not underestimate Zhou Yu. Not to mention his record in Xuzhou, even the Jiangdong soldiers under his command are all elite!"
"The soldiers under my command are just new recruits, and there is a big gap with the opponent. Moreover, the opponent has 10,000 cavalry. Even if General Zhang is extremely brave and can defeat Zhou Yu, it will be difficult to completely annihilate the opponent."
"This time, my lord has given an order to annihilate Yuan's army! I hope the two generals will put the overall situation first!"
Along the way, Liu Ye figured out the temperaments of Guan and Zhang. Although these two men were brave, they had too many character flaws. One was more arrogant than the other, and no one except Liu Bei could suppress these two people. That is to say, for
As a military advisor, neither of them thought highly of Liu Ye.
Zhang Fei belongs to the kind of character who is not afraid of anything. He is also irritable and outspoken. As for Guan Yu, his whole body reveals the arrogance of rejecting others thousands of miles away, completely ignoring everyone who is not recognized by him. But there is no one in the world.
How many people can get the approval of this guy? At least Liu Ye can't do it now.
As a military advisor, Liu Ye could not command these two people at all and could only rely on Liu Bei's orders to suppress them.
After hearing Liu Ye's words, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei frowned at the same time, but thinking that this was their elder brother's order after all, they could only suppress their inner dissatisfaction and nodded to show that they understood.
Seeing the reactions of these two people, Liu Ye sighed lightly. He could only console himself in his heart: Everything can't be perfect, and it's okay for a fierce general like Guan Zhang to be arrogant.
Liu Ye, who is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, saw Liu Bei taking off in Yuzhou and decisively chose to join him.
He is extremely good at military strategy, which just makes up for Liu Bei's military deficiencies, and he is deeply relied on by Liu Bei. But unfortunately, Liu Bei's two men, Guan and Zhang, still don't like him very much, if not for Liu Ye's status as a descendant of the Han Dynasty.
On the other hand, the two of them would probably ignore him.
Liu Ye is not very outstanding in the Three Kingdoms, but it does not mean that he is not an outstanding talent. On the contrary, his military strategy is very outstanding and he is a top strategic counselor.
But this guy had similar luck to Chen Qun. Chen Qun met Xun Yu, while Liu Ye bumped into Guo Jia.
Liu Ye is a weakened version of Guo Jia, so he has not performed very well under Cao Cao. It was not until Guo Jia's death that this guy began to slowly show his edge.
This time Liu Bei sent Guan and Zhang to destroy Zhou Yu's army, and Liu Ye took the initiative to request to be the accompanying military advisor. He thought he could take advantage of this opportunity to show off his talents and establish his authority, but he did not expect to encounter a big problem as soon as he started.
The leader of the army, Guan Zhang, didn't listen to himself! He treated himself completely like air.
But what should be done must be done! Liu Ye took a deep breath and said: "Two generals, this time Zhou Yu dared to go deep alone with only 20,000 troops. He relied on his 10,000 fine cavalry."
"Most of my subordinates are infantry. If the opponent insists on running away, I'm afraid we won't be able to pursue him. Why don't we let General Zhang lead the troops in front and attract the opponent's attention head-on. When the battle becomes tense, General Guan will attack from behind and try his best to
Kill Zhou Yu and besiege him. I wonder what your intentions are?"
Guan Yu was still caressing his long beard, ignoring Liu Ye at all. Zhang Fei said: "Second brother, what the military counselor said makes sense. Why don't we just do this! After you kill Zhou Yu with a knife, maybe the 10,000 cavalry will surrender and submit.
, I, Lao Zhang, really like cavalry!"
Hearing this, Guan Yu was also a little moved. Although Yuzhou is rich, it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and there are really not many good horses.
The horses in the north were all monopolized by Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo. There really weren't many horses in the huge Central Plains.
If Yuan Shu hadn't planned ahead and purchased a large number of horses before the troubled times came. For a country like Yuan Shu located in the south of the Yangtze River, having five thousand fine horses would be a big deal.
There is no cavalry that a fierce general like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei does not like. It is a pity that Liu Bei only has 7,000 cavalry, which is not enough for two people. Even Guan Yu is very coveted for Zhou Yu's 10,000 cavalry.
"Just follow my third brother!"
Seeing that Guan and Zhang finally agreed to his proposal, Liu Ye nodded secretly. But he sighed in his heart: These two people don't listen to him. What should he do if the situation changes? I hope there won't be any accidents by then.
Liu Ye took out the map and found a mountain path as a battlefield to attack Zhou Yu.
In fact, it is not that Liu Ye never thought of choosing valleys that are difficult to enter and exit. But Zhou Yu was very cautious. During the march, he would avoid such dangerous places if he could. If he could not avoid them, he would have to find out the situation before entering.
Faced with Zhou Yu's cautious behavior, Liu Ye could only choose a road section that was not suitable for cavalry as a battlefield. After all, if fighting on the plains, the cavalry would be almost invincible. Even if you can fight, you can't catch up.
superior.
Although this path is not narrow, it can at least prevent the opponent from escaping from the left and right.
...
"General, a large number of troops have been spotted ahead, led by Liu Bei's general Zhang Fei."
Upon hearing the information from the spies, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed: "Sun Ce, Zhao Yun!"
Sun Ce and Zhao Yun stood up, cupped their fists and said, "The general is here!"
Zhou Yu solemnly said: "You two lead your cavalry to fight Zhang Fei. Remember not to be careless."
"promise!"
Sun Ce and Zhao Yun went down excitedly to lead their troops to fight.
"Ling Cao!"
"The end is here!"
"You quickly send your soldiers to look around to see if there is any ambush."
"promise!"
After sending the three men out, Zhou Yu asked Zhou Taidao: "Has there been any news about Guan Yu from Guo Jia recently?"
Zhou Tai said: "No."
Zhou Yu looked a little solemn and said: "It seems that Guan Yunchang is here too!"
This march has been a bit too smooth. There has been no obstruction from the enemy at all, and now it has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Runan. The opponent is obviously allowing himself to be so arrogant. I am afraid that he has a big plan and wants to completely destroy him here.
However, Guo Jia has not sent any news so far. It seems that both his lord and he understand Liu Bei's thoughts. The reason why there is no news is probably because he is very confident in himself and others!
