Young people's love is everything, but Xu You is no longer young.

After estimating the strength of the Youzhou Army, Military Advisor Xu pondered for three days in front of the simple map of the Han Dynasty in the staff room before breaking out.

Seeing Xu Dama Bang... the military advisor was being helped to the Hou Mansion, Liu Bei was a little surprised: Don't this guy spend too much time and energy to drive himself crazy?

In the secret room, Xu Youshi's earth-shattering idea made the daring Liu Bei feel dizzy.

"How sure are you?"

"Fifty percent."

Xu You didn't lie.

"How many troops will be dispatched?"

"The whole army attacks, including the lord and me...it's best to add Lu Bu."

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why?"

"Once the plan is successful, the next step is to merge with the state. With him supporting it from the front, the lord will be much more relaxed."

Liu Bei thought for a while and was a little unsure, so he asked: "If this plan is successful, Youzhou will be the target of public criticism!"

Xu You smiled appreciatively.

"Isn't that bad?"

Liu Bei was stunned and immediately realized that he was too focused on the negative effects and ignored the positive factors.

Big trees attract wind, but they also attract "good birds" from all over the country to live in them.

Once you have mastered the grasslands and war horses, you will have the strength to challenge the court.

Facing the mere Beigong Boyu, the emperor Liu Hong and the court made mistakes one after another. Whether he has the courage to confront Youzhou head-on is still a matter of doubt.

Once Youzhou rises, those elites who are rejected by the court and the emperor may turn to you if they want to make a difference.

Therefore, Xu You risked the disapproval of the world and asked the entire army to attack in order to win the first battle and establish the pattern of Youzhou eyeing the Central Plains for hegemony.

Of course, this plan is very risky. Youzhou is almost empty, which means it is a desperate move.

"Trouble the military advisor to go to Yanmen and persuade Lu Fengxian at all costs."

Xu You felt a surge of heat in his heart.

The Lord's decision is so quick, which shows his extraordinary courage.

Does this mean that the master and himself coincide with each other?

Hahaha, it’s so fun to be such a winner!

"I will obey my Lord's order!"

Three days later, Xu You's carriage arrived at Yanmen, traveling day and night, and then secretly invited Lu Bu, the guard general of the southern gate of Bingzhou, to meet.

Lu Bu heard Liu Bei's message and happily went to the appointment.

"Have you ever heard that An... made a mistake and Fengxian wanted to make a name for himself in the world?"

Lu Bu was confused. What nonsense was this little man in front of him talking about?

"Is this a message from the wise brother Xuande?"

Xu You smiled and said: "If Fengxian has an idea, the Marquis' message will be truthful."

"What if I want to? What if I don't want to?"

"I don't want to think that Fengxian will probably have to live under others' control for the rest of his life, being driven by others and living as a human being."

"If you have lofty ambitions, you can split the land and seal the borders with the gods and warriors of the ancestors, and bless your descendants, but it can only be done in a matter of seconds."

Lu Bu laughed loudly: "In that case, why not think about it? What do you mean by my good brother?"

"One hundred thousand Qiang people are causing trouble in Liangzhou and attacking Sanfu is an opportunity."

"Opportunity? Where does it come from? Do you want me to send troops to Liangzhou?"

"No, no!"

Xu You shook his head and said: "The two families joined forces, crossed the river, captured Shuofang and Shangjun, and then swept southward. In one battle, they destroyed the Qiang and Hu of Yongdi and restored the old land of the Han family!"

Lu Bu was stupid at that time.

Damn it, I only have three thousand soldiers and horses, and I am not a heavenly soldier with three heads and six arms. Where did this weird thing like yours come from?

Who is Xu You? Lu Bu’s little thoughts are just like those of Ming Jing.

"The main Qiang and Hu forces are all gathered in Liangzhou. The Marquis has 6,000 fine cavalry and nearly 10,000 infantry. In addition, Fengxian has 3,000 fine cavalry. This is a God-given opportunity."

Lu Bu was surprised. Is this big-eared brother a thief?

After thinking about it, what the other party said seems to make some sense, but you must report to Chen Yi if you send troops, otherwise you will be like a rebel, and you may lose your head.

Looking at the tangled Lu Bu, Xu You, who had an insight into people's hearts, smiled slightly and struck while the iron was hot.

"How can a man stay under the influence of others for a long time? After destroying the Qiang and Hu, and regaining thousands of miles of territory, he will be the first to worship the general and make him a marquis. Join forces with my lord to advance and retreat at the same time, and merge with the small and small states, and what can the ordinary people do?"

Lu Bu's eyes widened, his blood surged, and he stood up immediately.

Not bad, not bad!

Liu Xuande devoured Youzhou, and successively encroached on Jizhou and Bingzhou. His strength became stronger and stronger, but no one dared to offend him.

Guarding half of Yanmen by myself, like a guard dog, is really frustrating.

It's better to join forces with Youzhou and go to the Qiang and Hu rear to fight. The territory that you conquer is the foundation for your life.

For example, Fatty Dong has taken a lot of advantage in Liangzhou recently.

In this world, there are quick hands and slow hands... Do it!

Once the ambition is aroused, it can no longer be calmed down, so the next step is about the specific distribution of benefits.

It won't be too difficult to kill the old and weak Qiang and Hu left behind, but since they are joining forces, brothers must also settle the score clearly, right?

Xu You laughed and said: "The south of Shangjun belongs to you, and the north belongs to Youzhou. How about adding 21 to 5 of Shangjun?"

Lu Bule has blossomed, and this time he definitely got a big deal. Compared with the stability of the northern land in the south, the north is a barren land except for grasslands.

Brother Xuande is still very benevolent and righteous.

After repeated confirmation, the two sides clapped their hands and agreed to jointly send troops to wipe out the Qiang and Hu in ten days.

Knowing that Xu You had really convinced Lu Bu, Liu Bei issued an order to mobilize the entire army.

Guan Yu led 4,000 cavalry out of the clouds to press towards Shuofang from the north. Zhang Fei led 2,000 cavalry to cooperate with Lu Bu to capture Shangjun first, and then went north to outflank Shuofang.

He, Xu You and Zhang Liao led 7,000 infantry and pushed across from east to west to ensure the complete annihilation of the remaining Qiang and Hu troops in northern Yongbei.

The military order was issued and the army set off.

Of course, in order to fight future wars, Youzhou found 20 good reasons and reported it one day in advance in the name of Liu Yu.

The core is just one thing: this action to punish the Qiang is to show loyalty to the emperor, to share the worries of the court, and to reduce the pressure on Liangzhou.

And because I can’t write two characters Liu in one stroke.

Therefore, Liu Bei brought Liu Zhoumu, the great savior of the people, to save the people of Yongdi and witness the grand occasion of the Youzhou Army regaining the old land of the Han Dynasty.

Marching in the snow during the twelfth lunar month of winter is a severe challenge even for Youzhou natives who can endure the cold.

Therefore, Liu Bei prepared a series of measures to prevent cold and warmth in advance, and tried his best to avoid non-combat attrition.

Eight days later, Guan Yu captured Yunzhong City and continued his surprise attack on Shuofang as planned.

According to the description in the military newspaper, the Hu people in Yunzhong had almost no defense, and Guan Yu's troops suffered very little losses.

By the same token, we can speculate that it will be one-sided when we get to Shuofang.

Zhang Fei's progress was smoother. After all, he was traveling with Lu Bu, and the south road was easier to walk.

However, after Lu Bu and Zhang Fei crossed the river on the ice, they easily captured Shangjun and also achieved huge gains.

Lu Bu, whose confidence has greatly increased, has already led his men to sweep south. If everything goes well, he will have the opportunity to stab Beigong Boyu in the back.

Xu You explained to Liu Bei why he gave up half of Yongzhou to Lu Bu.

Lu Fengxian, who only had three thousand soldiers and horses, had no background in the Youzhou Army at all, and was like a tree without roots.

It is not difficult to gain territory, but it is impossible to hold on to such a vast territory without logistical support.

Once Beigong Boyu counterattacks, or Liangzhou or the imperial court sends troops to intervene, Lu Bu has no other choice but to ask for help from the Youzhou army.

Therefore, half of Yanmen and half of Shangjun will automatically fall into Liu Bei's hands, and maybe he can get a foothold in the south.

Even so, Lu Bu is still grateful to Liu Xiandi for his help in times of need.

On the other hand, with Lu Bu's help, Bingzhou is in a situation where Youzhou forces are "surrounding three buildings and one". When Liu Bei takes over will depend on Liu Bei's mood.

Taking one step at a time, Xu You, a master of layout, not only defeated the brave and foolhardy Lu Bu, but also took advantage of the situation to lock down Bingzhou.

Liu Bei did not blame Xu You for taking action on his own. After all, he had said that no matter the cost, not to mention that Lu Bu, who had already taken the bait, would sooner or later surrender to him with his people and territory.

Looking at Liu Yu who was not excited and quite depressed, Liu Bei repeatedly told the military doctor that the life of Zhou Mu's dog must be saved.

Without this shield that is 100% free-handed, it will be much more troublesome.

The gray-haired military doctor was helpless: Zhou Mu’s Jingba was still in Zhuoxian County, what should be done?

As the Youzhou infantry moved closer to the west, more and more Qiang and Hu prisoners were taken.

In order to prevent the prisoners from rioting, all the captured Qiang men who were older than a wheel were taken to Zhuojun to open up wasteland and mines under the supervision of 20,000 yellow turban criminal slaves.

In the severe cold weather, more than 100,000 unarmed Qiang people had to trek long distances at the edge of a knife.

According to subsequent statistics, nearly ten thousand Qiang people did not reach Zhuojun alive.

In the future, this matter was listed by a small group of scholars as one of the evidence that Liu Bei was a cruel monarch.

But Xu You doesn't care.

The red carpet under the emperor's throne must be stained with blood.

A powerful empire is built on countless bones.

Those who kill will always be killed.

Could it be that when the Qiang and Hu occupied the old territory of the Han Dynasty, they did so through friendly negotiation?

The weak should be trampled on.

If you don’t want to be trampled on, make yourself stronger.
