Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei attached great importance to Mr. Wolong, whom he had not yet met, so he could only stand aside honestly. At the beginning of spring, the weather was still a bit cold. Liu Bei couldn't help but shudder. It had been an hour, but Wolong didn't expect him.
Sir still hasn't woken up.
However, Liu Bei also showed a patient side. At that time, he was just a down-and-out Han clan clan member who sold mats and weaved shoes. His current career was entirely based on his own ability. If he didn’t have this patience, there would be no need to invite him.
What is Mr. Wolong?
Another half an hour passed, and Mr. Wolong finally woke up. What happened next was naturally that Wolong made an astonishing statement, which made Liu Bei's dream come true. After some pleading, Mr. Wolong agreed to go out to assist Liu Bei and revive the Han Dynasty.
Counselors pay attention to reputation. The name Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty can attract a large number of talents for him. However, at this time, he is living under Liu Biao, and Liu Biao proclaims himself emperor, so many counselors will naturally filter Liu Bei out.
.
Zhuge Liang had a great reputation in Jingzhou and never took refuge with Liu Biao. He believed that Liu Biao was not enterprising and could not achieve great things. Even if he became king and emperor, he would not be able to accomplish anything. Although he had some connections with Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang never went there.
He only existed as a free man in Jingzhou. As for the title of Wolong, it was given by many people who knew Zhuge Liang and appreciated Zhuge Liang's talent. Zhuge Liang himself often compared himself to Guan Zhong Leyi.
Needless to say, he was talented, and Long Zhongdui convinced Liu Bei to the point of falling to his knees.
Liu Bei sighed and said: "To have Mr. Wolong is like a fish to water."
Zhang Fei, however, was not interested in this white-faced scholar. He was keen on being a fierce warrior who rushed to the battlefield. If Zhuge Liang was tall and strong, and had superb martial arts, he would definitely be able to win Zhang Fei's favor. Moreover, Liu Bei had gone there several times before and finally met him.
Zhang Fei has already complained about this famous Wolong. He is just waiting to make Zhuge Liang look bad on the battlefield in the future. Aren't you water? I, Lao Zhang, will let your water dry up.
"Sir, this my third brother is also a fierce general in the army." Liu Bei pointed at Zhang Fei and introduced.
Zhuge Liang just nodded slightly, not too eagerly, which made Zhang Fei suddenly dissatisfied. He was about to say a few words, but saw the look on his elder brother's face and stopped hastily. Before he saw Zhuge Liang, what he said had already
The eldest brother was very dissatisfied. He didn't want to cause a gap between himself and Liu Bei because of a counselor. Over the years, Zhang Fei had caused a lot of troubles, but Liu Bei always took over them. Zhang Fei was moved.
Yu became more loyal to Liu Bei.
"I've met you, sir." Zhang Fei said, cupping his fists.
Zhuge Liang didn't care about the dissatisfaction in Zhang Fei's tone, and said with a smile: "General Zhang is a fierce general in the army. I hope to kill more enemies on the battlefield in the future and create great achievements for my lord."
Zhang Fei cupped his fists and said, "No." He disagreed in his heart.
After getting Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's fighting spirit was high. Mr. Wolong was very famous in Jingzhou. Although Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, he didn't dare to trust him too much. He still needed to take a test, but he didn't show it on the surface.
"Sir, please hurry up and rush back to Xinye. Cao's army has invaded Jingzhou. It is expected that the troops will arrive in Xinye soon. Although there is a second brother guarding the city, we dare not take it lightly," Liu Bei said.
Zhuge Liang gave the boy a few instructions, and Zhang Fei left with Liu Bei without taking anything with him, which made Liu Bei a little impressed. It was very rare for a counselor to be so free and easy.
It’s no wonder that Zhang Fei looks down on Zhuge Liang. In terms of age, Zhuge Liang is just a young man. No matter how famous he is, he can’t have any great abilities. What’s more, Zhuge Liang is just a scholar in the mountains. I’m afraid there are only a few princes in the world.
Don't even know.
Jingzhou was extremely lively, and Chang'an also began to mobilize troops. Because Luoyang's geographical location was very important, Zhao Yun was left in Luoyang to prevent Cao's army.
This battle in Jizhou is related to the further development of the Xiliang Army. Naturally, Jia Rong attaches great importance to it and mobilizes 50,000 troops to march to Changshan Kingdom.
Although the movements of the Xiliang Army were very secretive, Yuan Shao still got the news when the Xiliang Army first started to attack. To be honest, Yuan Shao had already hated the Xiliang Army to death. He was capricious and kept taking advantage. He also included Youzhou and Bingzhou.
In his hands, even Zhuojun was given to him by Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, this man was still not satisfied and raised troops to invade again, losing Qingzhou and Zhuojun one after another. Yuan Shao's strength dropped by a notch.
In terms of military strength, Yuan Shao has nearly 200,000 combatable soldiers. Even if they are not as good as the elite Xiliang army, they are not afraid.
Liang Jun hit his head and was bleeding.
Changshan Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom and Hejian Kingdom are both areas bordering the Xiliang Army. Yuan Shao had already sent heavy troops to guard them before. After hearing the news that the Xiliang Army was moving troops, there was not much panic.
Jizhou's counselors seemed a little panicked after learning the news that the Xiliang army was attacking Jizhou. After all, in recent years, the Xiliang army had been defeated in almost every battle. The only time it suffered a big loss was because of Li Ru's betrayal, and it was that time.
, which brought the reputation of the Xiliang Army to its peak.
Xu You constantly made suggestions for Yuan Shao to resist the Xiliang army. His plans were quite satisfactory and there were many ingenious schemes. This made Yuan Shao pay more attention to Xu You. He only had to openly declare that Xu You was the number one counselor in Jizhou. The reason why Xu You used so much force
, that's because he received a letter from Chang'an, asking him to advise Yuan Shao to increase the defense force on the border. Yuan Shao first learned that the Xiliang Army was about to raise troops, which also came from Xu You, so he was even more cautious about Xu You.
of admiration.
Although Xu You didn't understand why Chang'an had such a strange order, he still carried it out to the letter. During his time in Chang'an, he had memorized some of the Xiliang Army's systems by heart, and he was usually afraid that he would do something wrong.
offend.
The army was divided into two groups. The first group of troops was led by Guo Si, who commanded 30,000 troops. Jia Rong personally held the battle and commanded the second group of troops, which marched toward Changshan Kingdom in a mighty manner. At the same time, far away in Youzhou,
Huang Zhong also made a move to support the Xiliang army, constantly mobilizing the army, so that Wen Chou Gaolan, who was stationed in Zhongshan, could only stand firm and did not dare to support Changshan.
The Xiliang Army and Navy has been established for more than two years. It has five large ships, more than 20 warships, and countless small ships. With the support of strong financial resources, it has developed rapidly. Of course
, this is also inseparable from the merchants and people of Chang'an. Over the years, the merchants and people have contributed a lot to the army, especially the merchants who are very wealthy. They always spend a lot of money. Whenever the Liang Palace makes this money public,
Sometimes, it would cause bursts of commotion, and eventually everyone got used to it. Officials in Chang'an did not dare to make any small moves with this money. It was all on the books. It was all used to build a navy or strengthen the city wall, etc., so that
Businessmen and people realize their usefulness.
Even the Jingzhou navy would be shocked when they saw these building ships. Seen from a distance, they looked like steel fortresses standing on the water. Under the sunlight, they emitted a little bit of cold light. In the past two years, although the navy had many
When dispatched, there was no big move, and it did not attract the attention of the princes. Many counselors of the princes even believed that Jia Rong's training of the navy was of no use. In the Central Plains, the Xiliang army had no foundation. Even if it could go down the river and occupy some small
The place will be wiped out quickly. The navy may be very powerful on the water, but on land, the princes will not take it seriously, even the Xiliang navy is no exception.
The resistance that Guo Si, the first-line coach, encountered in Changshan Kingdom was naturally very fierce. It seemed that the invincible Xiliang army was aroused, and he directly used crossbows, thunderbolt chariots and other items to beat the defenders in the city.
Not daring to show his head, under such a fierce offensive, even Yan Liang was a little overwhelmed and hurriedly sent someone to ask Yuan Shao for help.
The attack by the Xiliang army was no small matter. Yuan Shao sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Changshan Kingdom. He even bought some wine and meat to reward the soldiers at the expense of the empty treasury.
The Jizhou army started to move, and the counselors naturally kept making suggestions. Jizhou became very lively, and of course the market was a little deserted. After hearing the news, many merchants hurriedly transferred their belongings. In their eyes, Jizhou at this time,
It's already very unsafe. It's a joke. Even a strong city like Luoyang was attacked by the Xiliang army, let alone Jizhou.
It was only under Yuan Shao's compulsory order that the situation in the city stabilized.
As the commander-in-chief, Guo Bang naturally understood Jia Rongming's intention of attacking Changshan Kingdom, so he spared no effort. The 30,000-strong army had already lost nearly 2,000 people, and the walls of Changshan Kingdom were stained with blood everywhere.
When Jia Rong personally led the army to the city of Changshan, Yan Liang panicked. Jia Rong had a great reputation in the whole world. Even if there were 40,000 people in the city, Yan Liang was still a little embarrassed.
Unconfident, he asked Yuan Shao for help again.
When Jia Rong saw the report of the losses of the Xiliang army, his expression dropped involuntarily. These soldiers had gone through heavy training and had been tested by the fire of war. Although many years of war had made Jia Rong numb, Ci Rong
He understands not being in charge of soldiers very well, and it is inevitable that he feels a little unworthy of the soldiers at this time.
Suppressing his thoughts, Jia Rong said: "Who is the guard in the city?"
"Yan Liang and Zhang Ya are both fierce generals of the Jizhou Army. Zhang Ya even has Euphorbia warriors in his hands. They help defend the city and neutralize our army's offensive every time. They are very difficult to deal with." Guo Si said with deep emotion.
.
"There are about 40,000 defenders in the city. It is impossible for our army to completely surround the Yuan clan. We can only attack from one wall." Guo Bang said.
