Chapter 204 Recruiting princes Liu Xie to issue an edict

"Third brother, I'm sorry, I didn't catch Guo Si!" The first thing Liu Zhang did when he returned to Yangping Pass was to apologize to Liu Hao. He was really upset because he didn't catch Guo Si!

"Fourth brother, you have tried your best!" Liu Hao leaned on the couch and looked at Liu Zhang with a smile. He believed that Liu Zhang could definitely help Liu Fan and Liu Dan take revenge.

"Third brother, don't worry, even if I catch up to Chang'an, I will catch Li Jue and Guo Bin!" Liu Zhang clenched his fists with a ferocious look on his face.

In fact, Liu Zhang had known for a long time that Liu Fan and Liu Dan would die in Chang'an, but he didn't know how they died. After all, Liu Dan and Liu Fan were just small figures, not even minor figures. I believe that even if they knew they wanted to time travel, they would die in Chang'an.

, and no one will write down all the characters recorded in history!

"I believe you!" Looking at Liu Zhang, the smile on Liu Hao's face became stronger and stronger, but Liu Zhang felt a little sad that his brother died in the end.

"Third brother, you have a good rest, I'm going to handle military affairs!" After the war, many things needed to be handled by Liu Zhang. He heard that Liu Hao had fainted, so he came over to take a look.

"You go!" The injury had not yet healed, and after standing at the top of the city for a long time and being blown by the wind, Liu Hao felt very weak and a little dizzy. This was due to physical weakness caused by excessive blood loss.

Coming out of Liu Mao's bedroom, Liu Zhang came to the meeting hall, asked everyone to sit down, and began to count casualties. The first person to speak was Zhang Fei.

"Lord, my Overlord Cavalry suffered 2,000 casualties, of which 1,000 were killed in action, 400 were seriously injured and could not go to the battlefield, and the remaining more than 600 were lightly wounded!" The Overlord Cavalry followed Liu Zhang and attacked Guo Si's army, only to suffer 2,000 casualties.

, is already considered less.

"Lord, my Qinglong Guards suffered a thousand casualties, 700 were killed in battle, 300 were slightly or seriously injured, and more than 100 were unable to go to the battlefield!" Guan Yu and Gan Ning attacked the left and right wings. Since the main force was attracted by Zhang Fei's command, the casualties were about 100,000.

slightly less.

"Lord, my Jinfan Battalion suffered a thousand casualties, 800 were killed in action, 200 were lightly or seriously injured, and more than 100 were unable to fight!" Gan Ning also attacked the flank, and Guan Yu's casualties were similar.

"Lord, my Tiger Guard Battalion has 800 casualties, 200 killed in action, 600 lightly or seriously injured, and more than 200 people who can no longer go to the battlefield!" Zhao Yun's Tiger Guard Battalion has been supporting the attack behind the Overlord Cavalry, but the casualties are not high.

big.

"Lord, my Huben battalion has more than ten wounded, and no one is killed!" Huang Zhong was a little depressed. His archers had been suppressing the enemy behind the formation. Except for the soldiers who were out of strength, there were only a few fools who had their fingers strangled by the bow strings.

When I originally thought that there would be a close fight, I didn't expect that it was just Bawangqi who beat Guo Si away.

"Nearly five thousand casualties!" Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel distressed, but he could not directly replenish his troops from prisoners. You must know that the troops under his command were systematically trained and were much stronger than those rabble. If he used prisoners to replenish his troops,

It is likely to affect combat effectiveness.

"My lord, are you worried about the soldiers?" Guo Jiaxiao, who was sitting aside, asked.

"Exactly!" Liu Zhang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Five thousand in one battle, and fifty thousand in ten battles. Isn't this fatal?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, don't worry, except for Yide's Overlord Cavalry, the soldiers lost by other generals can be transferred from General Zhang Ren. Although General Zhang Ren's troops are only guard troops, they are trained completely according to the Lord's military training methods. It's just that

Lack of actual combat experience. If the lord chooses the best among them, it should be able to make up for the losses!"

"But what about the Overlord Cavalry?" Liu Zhang said depressedly: "The Cavalry is the king on the battlefield. If I don't have to, I really want to turn all my troops into cavalry!"

"My lord, most of the Liangzhou soldiers are Qiang people, and there are also many Huns. Have you forgotten that you also have a Xiongnu chief under your command? You can first take the Huns in the Liangzhou soldiers to your own use, and then order

People will train the Qiang people. When the time comes, you will have no problem whether you replenish the Overlord Cavalry or form another battalion!"

"Wow!" After hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Zhang was enlightened. He immediately ordered Zhang Ren's garrison to be transferred from Chengdu, and asked Zhang Ren to continue recruiting troops to supplement his strength. However, Liu Zhang did not know about the training of Qiang Hu Qi.

Who should do it?

"Lord, why don't you leave the training to me?" Yan Yan stood up on his own initiative. He had always been very proud, but after seeing the performance of Guan Yu and others today, he realized how superficial he was.

"Of course it's great that General Yan is willing to train these foreigners!" In Liu Zhang's heart, he never regarded Yan Yan as a fierce general. He also knew that Yan Yan was more suitable as a commander-in-chief. However, Yan Yan had always been obsessed with his martial arts.

He is very confident. If he doesn't give him a blow, how can he be a guard with peace of mind?

You know, Yan Yan is not yet forty years old now, and is in his prime. Letting a general who thinks he is brave retreat behind the scenes will definitely make the general feel dissatisfied. Even if Yan Yan is very loyal, Liu Zhang does not want him to

I have this feeling. The highest state of employing people is not to force others to do things, but to make people happily do things they don’t like to do! Undoubtedly, Liu Zhang did it!

While Liu Zhang was worrying about the source of troops, Guo Bin was gathering the defeated troops fifty miles outside Yangping Pass, close to Chang'an. Nearly 5,000 of his soldiers were killed in the battle, and Liu Zhang was heartbroken, but he didn't know that Guo Bin had been killed for a long time.

Fifty thousand people were killed! Of course, these 50,000 people were not wiped out by Liu Zhang, but escaped. The actual number of soldiers who died in battle was less than 10,000, and some were captured by Liu Zhang.

Looking at the defeated soldiers in front of him, Guo Bang felt heartbroken. You must know that in troubled times, soldiers are the foundation of a life. Now, in just one battle, he lost half of his troops. If this continues, he will not be able to survive. Guo Bangzhi

Therefore, they have the same right to speak as Li Jue because they have almost the same power, not because they have a good relationship.

After hesitating for a long time, Guo Si made a decision that even he thought was futile, and asked Chang'an for help. When Li Jue received Guo Si's letter asking for help, he couldn't help but be stunned, because this letter asking for help was tantamount to surrender! Li Jue

He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had long wanted to be the lord of Chang'an, but Guo Si was evenly matched with him.

Originally, Li Jue wanted to suppress Guo Si by annexing Fan Chou's troops, but in the end due to Guo Si's opposition, he could only hand over Fan Chou's troops to Zhang Ji, otherwise Zhang Ji would have 100,000 troops. However, this is exactly what happened.

, a delicate balance emerged between Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji.

Now, Guo Si has relented! Li Jue knows that Guo Si must have experienced a big defeat. Although this defeat will affect Chang'an's overall strength, with Li Jue's wisdom, how can he have any overall view? Of course

, since Guo Si asked for help, Li Jue would not let it go. After all, Guo Si was also his nominal subordinate.

It was important to rescue Guo Si, and the city of Chang'an was also very important. In order not to affect his rule of Chang'an, Li Jue sent a messenger and ordered Zhang Ji's troops who were heading to Xiping to rescue Guo Si and join forces with Guo Si.

, attack Yangping Pass. After Zhang Ji received the order, he immediately went to Jia Xu to discuss.

Jia Xu learned about the situation, sighed at Liu Zhang's strength, and asked Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu to send troops. Of course, the purpose of Zhang Ji's sending troops was not to attack Liu Zhang, but to defect to Liu Zhang. In order to prevent Liu Zhang from misunderstanding, Jia Xu prepared to go there in person.

Go to Yangping Pass.

Although Zhang Ji decided to defect to Liu Zhang, he was never willing to risk his first adviser, but Jia Xu had already made up his mind. In desperation, Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and asked Zhang Xiu to serve as a bodyguard and accompany Jia Xu to Yangping Pass.

But the old fox Jia Xu was deeply moved. Of course, with their friendship with Jia Xu, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu will be safe no matter where they go!

Xuchang, Yanzhou Governor's Office.

The old Taiwei Yang Biao came to Xuchang in person with Liu Xie's imperial edict. He just handed the imperial edict to Cao Cao and went to the posthouse to rest with the primary school without saying a word. After receiving the imperial edict, Cao Cao immediately summoned all his men.

Get up. Five great counselors, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Jiang Ji, Cheng Yu, and Xun You, gathered in the council hall.

"Ming Gong, Your Majesty has summoned you to Beijing and sent Captain Yang. This shows the importance he attaches to you, and it will be good for you to go to Chang'an!" Xun Yu was a staunch royalist, and his greatest hope was

Assisted Cao Cao and became Duke of Zhou.

"Hold the emperor to order the princes!" Old Cheng Yuyin was vicious and vicious. He did not want Cao Cao to be the Duke of Zhou. However, except for Xun Yu, Cao Cao's subordinates felt that there were not many people in Cao Cao who could be the Duke of Zhou!

"Zhongde!" Although Cheng Yu was highly respected under Cao Cao, when he heard that he was "holding the emperor's hand to command the princes," Xun Yu was still a little displeased and said, "It's "serving the emperor to win over the disloyal ministers."

Serving the emperor to disobey ministers and holding the emperor hostage to order the world sound similar, but the difference lies in the attitude towards the emperor. Serving means serving and respecting the emperor very much. Coercion means coercion and blackmail. In Xun Yu's view,

Cheng Yu's words were simply treasonous.

Cheng Yu looked at Xun Yu and didn't bother to argue with him. Half a year ago, Cao Cao might still want to be Duke of Zhou, but half a year later, especially after hearing that "the emperor tied the king Situ in front of the battle", even if Cao Cao returned his heart,

He went to the Han Dynasty, but he had no intention of becoming the Duke of Zhou.

In order to prevent the two men under his command from continuing to get entangled, Cao Cao smiled and said: "Although the two gentlemen use different words, they both mean the same thing, that is, they support me in taking back His Majesty, right?"

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked at each other and nodded together. Xun You, who was silent on the side, said: "Ming Gong, even if you want to welcome the Holy Emperor back, you can't go like this. Chang'an Li Jue's total troops are as high as 300,000, and we are not him

rival!"

"Isn't it enough to instigate Li Jue and Guo Si to fight?" Jiang Ji was also a major strategist under Cao Cao, but in history, he was overshadowed by Guo Jia and others. Today, the lineup of counselors under Cao Cao is far inferior.

Jiang Ji was so powerful in history that his abilities were revealed.

"It's not that easy!" The person in charge of intelligence under Cao Cao was Cheng Yu. He took out the latest intelligence and said: "It is reported that His Majesty used his important ministers to recruit Ma Teng, and Han Sui came to the capital. The people who came forward were two of the champions.
