Chapter 1840 Liu Bei goes all out to defeat Chi You
Speaking of Liu Bei, among the many emperors in the past dynasties, he may not be the most outstanding in terms of personal ability.
But when it comes to employing people, his performance is absolutely unparalleled. Of course, the old Liu family's genes in this area are indeed not bad.
Moreover, Liu Bei is also a person who dares to delegate power. As long as he recognizes the other party's ability, he truly dares to completely hand over his power to the other party.
From this point alone, the two men at the same time were always inferior to Liu Bei.
Xu Shiji, the most famous general in Yizhou, was one of Liu Bang's greatest contributors to the pacification of the Southern Barbarians, and the supreme commander in the military campaign to pacify the Southern Barbarians.
On the Jiaozhou battlefield, he fought against many generals of the Yangzhou Army, including Zhu Yuanzhang, and did not fall into a disadvantage. In fact, because of Liu Che's strong support for Xu Shiji on the Jiaozhou battlefield, he once had the upper hand.
Of course, Xu Shiji also had several flaws that must be mentioned in his military career.
On the battlefield against Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu used cavalry attacks to defeat him before they even met formally.
However, even without counting Chen Qingzhi's wonderful performance later, Xu Shiji played steadily after adjusting and took advantage of both sides' head-on confrontations and positional battles.
Cavalry raids and encounters are indeed Xiang Yu's strengths. Xu Shiji cannot compare with Xiang Yu in this aspect. But on the frontal battlefield, in the offensive and defensive battles of such large-scale troops, Xiang Yu is far behind Lao Xu. Already.
In the recent Jin army's campaign to conquer Shu, whether it was the battle with Wu Qi or the overturn by Zhuge Liang, they were all stains on Xu Shiji's military career.
In the battle with Wu Qi, Wu Qi's original strategic goal was to completely wipe out Xu Shiji's army. Although Lao Xu did not defeat Wu Qi in this battle, he later made up for it. Copied some of Wu Qi's supplies in time, and Wu Qi fell short of his complete strategic plan.
Of course, even if Wu Qi failed to realize his strategic plan, Wu Qi still won a great victory in this battle. With the loss of Jiangzhou City, Xu Shiji's troops were transferred from the Yizhou battlefield, which directly led to the demise of Liu Che's forces. .
If Badi had not been broken through, the Jin army would not have been able to bypass many checkpoints such as Jiange and attack Fucheng directly. After breaking through Yangping Pass, the four most dangerous places in Shu were the four passes from Guancheng to Jiange, but Wu Qi Cleverly avoid these four hurdles.
Therefore, Xu Shiji must bear a considerable part of the responsibility for the destruction of Liu Che's power.
However, even if there are several flaws, Lao Xu can still be called a famous general in the world. What Liu Bei lacks most is not a strong general, but a famous general, a famous general who can lead the army in battle.
Therefore, because the other party was capable, Liu Bei dared to delegate power to him.
Even when Liu Bei asked Xu Shiji to be the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Bei had already made preparations for this, and it was not really just a nominal position created to resolve internal conflicts.
Of course, this is more of Lao Liu's way of resolving internal conflicts.
Liu Bei was from a low-class family, and as a member of the Han clan, he was a bad person. In the early days, he really regarded himself as a soldier and charged into battle on the battlefield. This was especially true when he first started his career and during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
.
It is precisely because he has been at the lowest level in the army that Liu Bei understands better that many comrades have been on the battlefield together, and many conflicts will naturally be resolved.
"The Han Dynasty has fallen to this day all because of the Yellow Turban thieves. I order you two to lead 50,000 troops each and attack Chiyou in two groups!" Liu Bei said with a majestic expression.
He had just experienced a battle with the Jin army. At this time, it was extremely reluctant for Liu Bei to bring out another 100,000 troops to attack!
After taking out these 100,000 troops, Liu Bei's territory was extremely empty. If any prince came to attack him at this time, Liu Bei would probably not be able to sustain it for long.
And if Liu Bei dares to do this, he is naturally confident!
There are only a few princes around Liu Bei, and Dou Jiande of Qingzhou has agreed to send troops. Of course he has to take advantage of this free advantage. They can't always be the tail of the princes!
Chi You in the south is the target of their attack. As for Yuan Shao in the west, not to mention that he has also suffered heavy losses at this time, and he has no reason to send troops now.
When Liu Bei re-established the Han Dynasty, other princes had to be very cautious about Liu Bei sending troops! If such a flag fell, if they wanted to deal with Li Xiang in the future, they would naturally not have the name of righteousness.
.
Taking another 10,000 steps back, even if Yuan Shao really wants to bite the bullet and fight, wouldn't it be good to defeat Cao Cao in the south? That person is also equivalent to free of charge now!
And Liu Bei went all out to mobilize so many troops and horses for the battle, which also shows Liu Bei's determination for this expansion!
Moreover, not only in terms of military strength, but also in terms of generals and counselors, Liu Bei absolutely went all out.
On Guan Yu's side, Fazheng, Liu Xuanchu, and Liu Wenjing served as military advisors.
Gongsun Yan is the deputy general, Huang Pao, Fang Xiang, Fang Bi, Wang Mo, Yang Sen, Gao Youqian, Li Xingba, Yao Shuliang, Du Huayu, Liu Fenfei, Tang Yunlong, Huangfu Chaoyun, Huangfu Muyun, Qin Ming, Suo Chao, Sun
Li, Guan Ling, and Guan Sheng obeyed Guan Yu's instructions.
Along the way, Xu Shiji, Jia Yi, Gan Long, Liao Li and Liu Bingzhong served as counselors.
Gan Mao is the deputy general, Xie Wuyun, Xie Jinhuan (Golden Hoop Immortal), Xie Pilu (Pilu Immortal), Wei Yan, Wuji, Qiu Yin, Wen Liang, Ma Yuanye, Cheng Bushi, Zhao Ponu, Taishi Ci,
Xu Ning, Shi Jin, Bao Yuan, and Hua Rong obeyed Xu Shiji's instructions.
Although in the hands of Xu Shiji, Liu Bei did place many generals from his original faction, but generals such as Wu Ji, Qiu Yin, Wen Liang, Ma Yuanye, Cheng Bushi, and Zhao Ponu who followed Xu Shiji to Qingzhou were similar and different.
But being under his command is already a kind of trust in itself.
At the same time, Dou Jiande's forces also sent general Xue Wanche to send troops to Chiyou. They also wanted to take a bite of this big cake, and it was a cake with almost no defense capabilities.
Of course, Dou Jiande would not dare to go all out like Liu Bei. Dou Jiande is not Liu Bei, and his position is different!
Liu Bei established another powerful man to protect himself. But if Dou Jiande dared to proclaim himself emperor, he would be targeted by princes from all directions in minutes. Their status was different. Of course, Dou Jiande could not use his full strength like Liu Bei.
Before taking action, you must leave a certain amount of defensive strength for yourself.
