Chapter 147 From a defeat to a war of annihilation

The essence of a lunch is to satisfy human hunger.

But in the eyes of different people, the meaning given to it is very different.

Jia Xu: A simple working meal.

Powerful Director: Food for Lower Riba People.

Clerks, etc.: The benefits provided by the unit are pretty good.

Bai Gou Deng Ding: Luxurious feast, rare delicacy.

Qi Jia: This is evidence of identity and glory.

The village chief and villager: Qi Jia is very lucky and is really prosperous.

Liu Bei: Will a lunch today be detrimental to the public and private interests tomorrow?

Jia Xu felt that the master thought too badly of people, not to mention that a man is a human society, how can there be an absolutely perfect person?

"My lord, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. I dare not say that I have no selfish motives, let alone a farmer?"

After a pause, he continued: "Even if Qi Jia did it intentionally, it at least shows that he is adapting to the change of identity. In the long run, it may not be a bad thing."

After weighing it, Liu Bei no longer insisted.

Forty-three-year-old Jia Xu has basically fixed views, and it is difficult to truly change through unilateral persuasion.

Literati value harmony and will not take decisive measures unless absolutely necessary, so just wait and see how things get better.

"Okay, everyone has their own opinion, and I will no longer interfere with the exchange from now on."

Jia Xu was a little worried, thinking that he had just disobeyed his lord and made him unhappy.

"When an exchange is started, it will inevitably encounter many problems. My lord must not let it go... Qi Jia, I will strictly supervise it!"

Liu Bei laughed and said: "Well, when I say non-interference, I mean the private chat between you and me today. The exchange is a new matter, and problems are normal. They can be solved through official documents."

Jia Xu is ashamed.

The Lord meant that business was done in a matter-of-fact manner, and he gave himself the greatest trust. It seems that he has a villainous heart.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Remember: fairness, justice and openness."

Jia Xu bowed to the ground and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord, for your trust!"

The first year of Guangxi, August 19th.

Xiangping City, Liaodong Governor's Office.

Gongsun Du, who had just been promoted, solemnly entertained the angels who came to deliver the message, as well as the accompanying Youzhou governor Ding Yuan.

Liu Bei conquered Japan and wiped out the Japanese pirates, which greatly damaged the interests of the Gongsun family.

Guan Yu and Xu You led eight thousand cavalry into western Liaoning, claiming that they would fight against Xianbei in the near future.

However, Liaoxi and Xiangping were close at hand, and the cavalry arrived in an instant, which made Gongsun Du extremely frightened.

Who knew that the big-eared thief would have nothing to do and come up with another Qiu Liju story?

Therefore, Gongsun Du mobilized heavy troops to defend Xiangping City and strengthened the defenses of Xiangping City. He also sent a large number of scouts to the western border to closely monitor the movements of Guan Yu's troops.

Previously, Grand Tutor Yuan Ji persuaded General He Jin to contain Guan Yu's tribe in Youzhou with Ding Yuan as the leader.

Ding was originally a senior general with 30,000 troops under his command, but he was still not sure of victory against Guan Yu, so he took up the idea of ​​​​Gongsun's family.

Yuan Jili was pleased to see the success and generously gave him the title of governor.

Gongsun Du was worried, but when he saw the olive branch from the Taifu General, he beamed with joy and enjoyed it as much as a piece of cake.

If you want to receive benefits from others, you have to do things for them.

Ding Yuan was frank and pointed at the opponent's vital points.

"Three Koreans marched their troops northward, and their frontline was directed at Lelang. How should Shengji respond?"

Gongsun Du knew better than Ding Yuan.

Qiu Liju was deeply worried about the Japanese pirates' plundering, and since he had no worries about facing the sea in the southeast and west, he simply pressed all the 5,030 Korean new troops northward and stared at Lelang.

"Yongzhou soldiers and horses are attacking from two fronts. I really don't have the skills to do anything. If Brother Jianyang helps me, I will be rewarded generously."

The Gongsun family has a total of 5,000 men. If they challenge Qiu Liju in a duel, they have a greater chance of winning.

But Xiangping is the foundation of Liaodong and the home of the Gongsun family, so there is no room for failure.

In order to stabilize Gongsun Du, Ding Yuan asked: "Easy to say, I will send three thousand elite soldiers to Lelang to defend the city for you. But... Shengji also has to do me a favor."

Gongsun Du understood that he wanted to surrender his name.

"What are you busy with?"

"Hold Guan Yu and Xu You."

Although there was no confrontation with the Yongzhou army, Gongsun Du was surprised by Ding Yuan's proposal.

Attack Xianbei from the north to benefit the country and the people, and drive away the Xianbei people. The people near the northern border of the Han Dynasty will be protected from the threat of Xianbei cavalry robbery.

Character determines action, and Gongsun Du is ruthless to his enemies, including foreigners.

For example, Liaodong County soldiers would retaliate and punish any Xianbei tribe that crossed the border, basically leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

Moreover, Gongsun Du often threatened Fuyu with force and once wanted to annex it.

The Fuyu royal family was caught between Xianbei and Goguryeo and was unable to stop the Liaodong army, so they were forced to submit a petition and agree to become a vassal of the Gongsun family.

Therefore, Gongsun Du regarded himself as the lord of Fuyu and looked covetously at Goguryeo.

The Goguryeo royal family was so frightened by the "Liaodong Mad Dog" that they were forced to move their troops back to the southern front to confront the Han army.

Therefore, Gongsun Du emotionally agreed with the Yongzhou Army that attacked Xianbei head-on.

Ding Yuan pointed to the sky and said slowly: "People often look at the wind and sky before going out. Does Shengji know the reason?"

Gongsun Du understood that the Taifu General and his faction had decided to kill the Yongzhou faction.

However, even if you want to cooperate, five thousand men and horses versus eight thousand fine cavalry is just a matter of eggs and stones.

"Brother Jianyang, with this little manpower, I can barely defend the city..."

Ding Yuan smiled, since Gongsun Du had turned a corner, it would be easy to handle.

"Hey, Shengji misunderstood, I didn't say to take action right away."

Gongsun Du asked tentatively: "You mean, wait until they go north and then cut off their retreat?"

Ding Yuan raised his thumb and said: "You are worthy of being the overlord of Liaodong. When the matter is accomplished, western Liaoning will belong to you."

Gongsun Du rubbed his chin and calculated for a while, and thought it was feasible.

"Jianyang, to be honest, Guan Yu and Xu You are ruthless people, you have to give me manpower..."

Ding Yuan raised a finger and directly quoted: "Ten thousand horses, guard western Liaoning, and prevent their horses from returning south!"

The opponent gave 13,000 men head and tail, and after doing this, they killed Goguryeo Qiu Liju. Liaodong dominated the East China Sea. Who dares to despise it?

Damn, the opportunity has come, it won’t be exciting if you don’t fight!

Gongsun Du stood up and bowed to accept the order: "The general has orders, don't dare to disobey!"

In western Liaoning, at the military camp in the north of the city, Guan Yu and Xu You are doing the final deduction.

After the death of Tan Shihuai, Xianbei was divided into two parts, the east and the west, like strangers.

Eastern Xianbei was further divided. From east to west, there were the Eastern Alliance, Kebineng in Shanggu of Daijun, and Bu Dugen's forces outside Yanmen in Yunzhong.

According to the original plan, Guan Yu's Eastern Route Army launched the attack first, quickly defeated the Xianbei Eastern Alliance, and then outflanked the west.

Zhang Liao's West Route Army attacked from Shuofang, defeated Bu Dugen and then surrounded it eastward, cooperating with the East Route Army to encircle and annihilate the strongest Kebineng Group.

According to the latest intelligence, Lu Bu's Zhangyang Department has joined and will attack Ke Bineng's lair in Dai County.

In addition, General Zhang He of the Eastern Expedition will land on the east coast of Goguryeo and occupy it, suppressing the Gongsun family and the Fuyu Kingdom from the east.

More and more troops participated in the war, which caused great changes in the mentality of Guan Yu and Xu You.

The Xianbei are an authentic nomadic tribe on the grasslands. They are good horsemen, men, women and children, and are extremely familiar with the terrain. Therefore, the original plan was to defeat them and expel them, so as to establish a large strategic buffer zone for the northern border of the Han Dynasty.

But Xu You combined intelligence from all parties and decided to annihilate the Eastern Xianbei in one battle, like the Yongzhou Qianghu, and completely solve the future troubles.

"If you want to completely annihilate the Eastern Alliance, you must divide your forces and sneak into the depths of the grassland, block the northwest sides, and then unite and press southward, forcing their main force to fight me decisively."

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that there are hundreds of thousands of herdsmen in the Eastern Alliance and the Han army's strategy of dividing their forces to attack together is very risky, and they will be defeated individually if they are not careful.

Bald Wu Da took the lead and pointed at Yuyang on the big map and said: "Commander, military counselor, leave the west to our beard!"

There are about a thousand Qiang and Hu elite cavalry, and Xu You is worried that they are short of troops.

"This is an important border area between the Eastern Alliance and Kebineng. The situation is complicated. Can it be blocked?"

Uda chuckled and said: "As long as Erguotou and the arrow tubes are enough, I can kill as many as I can with the smelly Xianbei!"

Guan Yu said solemnly: "Three times the supply, and I will give you eight hundred fine cavalry to block the west road."

Wu Da was overjoyed and immediately took the order and ordered his troops to rush to Yuyang.

Although facing the danger of attack from the east and west, Uday relied on Yuyang to still be able to evacuate at the last opportunity.

Relatively speaking, it is twice as difficult for the troops on the northern front to go deep alone.
