Chapter 131 Looking for Jizhou again, Yingchuan wizards emerge one after another

"Brother, although Qu Yi is unruly, he is also a person who values ​​friendship."

"And the soldiers he trained are all brave men who are not afraid of death. If they can follow him to conquer Dong Zhuo, they will definitely frighten the Xiliang army."

After Qu Yi's military camp left, Guan Yu rarely gave Qu Yi a very high evaluation.

Guan Yu was good at martial arts. After studying the military books presented by Zheng Ping and receiving one-on-one instruction from Lu Zhi, he had reached a very high level in both training and commanding troops.

Now he even praised Qu Yi's military training methods, which surprised Liu Bei and made him even more happy.

"With Captain Qu joining us, Master Lu's expedition against Dong will be more secure."

Liu Bei could not stop Lu Zhi from challenging Dong, nor could he follow Lu Zhi and take care of him.

Only by finding more elite soldiers for Lu Zhi can Lu Zhi have a better chance of winning.

When marching and fighting, it does not mean that whoever is more handsome will definitely win.

Elite soldiers and capable generals, guaranteed money and food, dispatching troops for a righteous cause, and reinforcements from all directions, the first thing to compare is manpower and material resources, and the second is strategy.

More than a thousand brave cavalry recruited from Zhuojun, 500 elite cavalry borrowed from Gongsun Zan, 3,000 Danyang soldiers borrowed from Tao Qian, 800 first-ranked soldiers from Qu Yi, and Zhao Yun from Changshan Kingdom who may have brought troops to come.

The elite men under his command, as well as Guan Yu and Tian Yu who assisted Lu Zhi in advancing the army.

Such a lineup is already the strongest lineup Liu Bei can currently put together for Lu Zhi.

Although most of these soldiers are not local soldiers in Qingzhou, and the food is not provided by Qingzhou, they are suspected of being empty-handed, but he can gather thousands of elite soldiers and 100,000 stones of food and grass, which is Liu Bei's

ability.

Han Fu did not reject Liu Bei's proposal and immediately agreed to let Qu Yi follow Lu Zhi to challenge Dong.

After all, he could gain fame and not have to worry about how to arrange Qu Yi. This was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone. Han Fu would not refuse to agree.

Outside Yecheng.

Liu Bei and Lu Zhi rode on.

"The Western Expedition will be extremely difficult and dangerous. Please be careful, Master Lu." Liu Bei said sincerely.

Without Lu Zhi, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to be elected as the governor of Qingzhou.

Lu Zhi nodded: "Xuande, I am enough for the Western Expedition. Qingzhou seems to be on track, but internal troubles are still serious. Don't be careless."

Zheng Ping went with Guan Yu and told him: "Yunchang, although I asked Hua Zicheng to go to Chang'an as an envoy to report his merits to you, Dong Zhuo may not take your report seriously because of Dong Zhuo's chaos in the government."

"This time you go to Chang'an with Master Lu. In addition to following Master Lu to conquer Dong Zhuo, the most important thing is to give the envoy a formal order!"

Guan Yu said solemnly: "Sir, what do you want Guan to do?"

Zheng Ping said solemnly: "If you use your momentum, Dong Zhuo will be afraid of you and have to take a softer approach!"

"If the Western Expedition goes well, Dong Zhuo will definitely send people to see Yunchang and promise benefits."

"There are only two things that Yunchang wants to insist on: first, to order the emperor to be the pastor of Qingzhou! Second, to have Zong Zhengqing determine the family genealogy and to order the emperor to name the clan members of the Han Dynasty."

"Only these two points are necessary!"

"For the rest of the promises, Yun Chang will act accordingly."

Guan Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Sir, what if Dong Zhuo asks Guan to withdraw his troops?"

Zheng Ping sneered: "Whether it is an edict to make you the pastor of Qingzhou, or an edict to name you as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it is the emperor's imperial edict. What does it have to do with Dong Zhuo?"

"Before the imperial edict, if you hold your troops still, the general will not accept military orders from outside. Once the imperial edict is received, you must obey the military orders carefully. As a general, you should obey the orders and prohibit them, and those who speak nonsense will be killed."

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened slightly, obviously a little surprised by Zheng Ping's plan.

This is to deceive Dong Zhuo!

But when he thought of the Qingzhou Biejia's usual style and character in front of him, Guan Yu quickly felt relieved.

For a usurper like Dong Zhuo, deception is also an act of getting rid of thieves.

After explaining the details, Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's farewell words came to an end.

"Xuande, just send it here!" Lu Zhi looked at the three-way intersection ahead and said boldly, "If we can capture Chang'an one day, I will invite Xuande to Chang'an for a banquet."

Liu Bei sighed secretly and bowed to Lu Zhi again with a firm look in his eyes: "Master Lu will definitely succeed soon after he leaves!"

Guan Yu also stepped forward to say goodbye to Liu Bei: "Brother, while my foolish brother is away, please take care of yourself in Qingzhou!"

Qu Yi and Tian Yu also clasped their fists and bid farewell.

"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone." For some reason, the scene of Prince Yan sending Jing Ke off suddenly appeared in Liu Bei's mind.

But soon, Liu Bei dismissed this ominous scene and just clasped his fists on his horse to send Lu Zhi and others away. Until the crossing, only Liu Bei and Zheng Ping were the only ones riding more than ten horses.

"The plan is clear. Master Lu is gone, but I still feel uneasy in my heart." Liu Bei was worried.

Zheng Ping chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned, but his right hand holding the feather fan was slightly stiff: "Don't worry, sir, although the Xiliang army is brave, there are many elite soldiers under my uncle's command. Even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they can still win." Get away intact."

In his heart, Zheng Ping was not optimistic about Lu Zhi's western expedition.

Although Lu Zhi had many years of experience in commanding troops, and had Guan Yu, Qu Yi, and Tian Yu under his command, and was assisted by Danyang soldiers and possibly Changshan soldiers, he ultimately did not rely on the power of Qingzhou for his western expedition.

There are too many variables involved in marching alone to the west!

Although Yuan Shao temporarily agreed to divide Jizhou with Han Fu, Zheng Ping did not believe that Yuan Shao would really fulfill this bet.

The division of Jizhou was only due to Liu Bei's intervention, which allowed Han Fu and Yuan Shao to reach a higher level.

Even if Yuan Shao agrees on the surface, he will not be convinced privately. The seizure of power in Jizhou may not be delayed until a year later.

Liu Dai of Yanzhou is also an unstable factor.

The complex situation mixed together will more or less affect Lu Zhi's western expedition.

"I hope so!"

Liu Bei turned his horse around and stopped thinking about Lu Zhi's expedition to the west.

There are still a lot of things waiting for Liu Bei to deal with in Qingzhou.

Just as Lu Zhi said, Qingzhou is suffering from serious internal problems, so we must not be careless at all!

the other side.

Yuan Shao led his troops to Anping State and stopped leaving, directly stationed in Xindu.

Along the way, Yuan Shao's eyes were gloomy.

Coming here with good fortune and returning with bad luck, this is Yuan Shao's mood at the moment.

Xu You was calm and relaxed on the sidelines, but Feng Ji was uneasy.

Several suggestions were made but failed to achieve great success, which made Feng Ji feel that his position in Yuan Shao's eyes was in jeopardy.

Gritting his teeth, Feng Ji gritted his teeth and said: "This time it was my bad plan, please punish me."

Yuan Shao stared at Feng Ji with deep eyes.

To be fair, Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with Feng Ji.

After all, they went to Yecheng with great fanfare, and finally had to accept Liu Bei's persuasion to make peace.

Although Jizhou was divided and conquered, this was not what Yuan Shao wanted.

In one year, there are too many changes!

Lu Zhi's expedition to the west against Dong Zhuo also made Yuan Shao feel crises.

The purpose of telling a Yuzhou governor to go to Yuzhou was to destroy Yuan Shu's plan to challenge Dong and prevent Yuan Shu from gaining the reputation of King Qin's success.

Yuan Shao knows it very well!

At this time, whoever can succeed as King Qin can replace Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's position was one that Yuan Shao had long wanted to replace, so he naturally did not allow others to take his place.

"Yuan Tu, is there any way to break the situation?"

Yuan Shao watched Feng Ji for a long time and gave Feng Ji a chance to atone for his sins.

When Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao had not held him accountable, he was overjoyed: "I have another plan to make Han Fu offer his other half to Jizhou, and Liu Bei from Qingzhou will never interfere!"

Yuan Shao's eyes moved and he waved his sleeves: "Tell me more carefully!"

Feng Ji took a deep breath, then glanced at Xu You who was unresponsive next to him, and raised his voice: "If Ming Gong wants to become a big trend, he will not be able to gain a foothold if he cannot own the entire Jizhou."

"Han Fu's talent is mediocre, but he has talented people but cannot use them. Even if there is a one-year appointment, Han Fu will not be able to surpass Ming Gong in governing Jizhou."

"Ming Gong's power in Jizhou is like the water of the Yellow River. No one can stop it. I believe the knowledgeable people in Jizhou know this very well."

"It's just that because Liu Bei, the governor of Qingzhou, persuaded him to make peace, Duke Ming had to compromise."

"But if we can induce Gongsun Zan to go south and agree to divide Jizhou together, Han Fu will definitely be frightened when he finds out."

"At the same time, send someone who is eloquent and eloquent to tell Han Fu about the blessings and disadvantages, and state the pros and cons."
