Chapter 7 send troops to Jiangdong

"If Bo Tao wants to go, he can't do it. I just don't know how many soldiers and horses are needed?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhao Feng himself presided over the military reform of Xuzhou and Yuzhou a while ago, and now he counted the troops. The 100,000 troops on Zhang Fei's side in Qingzhou can't be moved. Zhang Liao and Gaolan on the Shouchun front can appropriately allocate some people and horses. Of course, Yuzhou also needs to transfer some. After several calculations, Zhao Feng first said, "The last general led 60,000 Xuzhou troops, another 40,000 Yuzhou troops, and 10,000 water troops should be enough!"

"There are only more than 100,000 horses in Jiangdong. In the previous attack on Shouchun, Sun Ce lost no less than 20,000. In addition, there are Jingzhou troops and horses. It should be enough for the general to lead 110,000 troops in water and land." Lu Su also nodded when he heard the words.

"If so, why don't I personally lead the army to fight?" Liu Bei suddenly said, it seems that he is still looking forward to fighting in person!

"How can the lord's body be involved in danger?" On the side, Chen Qun, Sun Qian and other civil servants hurriedly exhorted when they heard the words. Seeing that Liu Bei was still a little hesitant, Lu Su added, "Your lord, this expedition to Jiangdong is different from the past, and there is a big river to block it. If you don't take the opposite place as a foothold first, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the army to use!" The implication is that you can't stand firm in the south of the Yangtze River first, and it is difficult to make any great progress in the army, so don't be busy making peace first!

"That's all!" Liu Bei also knew that he was not good at water warfare. He thought that even if he wanted to fight in person, he would have to wait for one or two counties in the south of the Yangtze River to come to the front line and boost morale. So in the following time, the Xuzhou Army began to prepare in an orderly manner. Liu Bei first drafted a letter by Sun Qian, and then the troops from all over Yuzhou were also transferred to Anyang County near the Lujiang River. After learning the news that he was going to conquer Jiangdong, Guan Yu offered to lead the army in person. However, Liu Bei was really worried about Cao Qian's character, so he still persuaded Guan Yu to sit in Yuzhou to prevent Cao Qian. After all, after Yuzhou transferred 40,000 horses, there were only 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers left. Cao Qian left Xun Yu with 100,000 troops stationed in Xuchang. In addition, in other places, Cao Qian left 150,000 troops in Yanzhou. Moreover, Yuzhou is not like Xuzhou. After Cao Jian ceded Taishan County, the original defensive iron gate officially returned to Liu Bei. Yuzhou is hundreds of miles deep on the border with Yanzhou. No one knows where Cao Yan will hit. He can only let Guan Yu guard first. Guan Yu also knew that this was the truth, so he stopped insisting after weighing the stakes. He just paid attention to the transfer of troops and a few generals.

"Bao, this time, as a lieutenant of the current dynasty, I will make you a general in the south and lead a large army to attack Jiangdong!" Seeing that the preparation was almost done, Liu Bei also gave the last order. Before Zhao Feng had any reaction, Liu Bei added, "Just wait for Yangzhou to be beaten, I will show that you are Yangzhou herdsman!"

"General Zhengnan, Yangzhou Pastoral?" These two positions caught Zhao Feng off guard. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military positions were most important, with lieutenants and generals, followed by cavalry and cavalry generals; followed by four generals, and then generals in Sizheng, four towns and four towns. At present, Liu Bei himself is a lieutenant and has the right to appoint generals in name, but he usually appoints some miscellaneous generals. In terms of horizontal comparison, at present, only Yu in Liu Bei's army is General Zhengdong, Zhang Fei is General Zhendong, and the rest are miscellaneous generals such as Zhonglang Generals. Therefore, once Zhao Feng sits firmly in the position of General Zhengnan, he can be said to be the fourth person in Liu Bei's army. Not to mention the Yangzhou herdsman, at present, the three Liu Bei brothers are in charge of each state affairs, among which Zhang Fei is still half Qingzhou.

As if to see Zhao Feng's shock, Liu Bei suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with a trace of memory: "I have known Bo Tao on the plain since eight years ago. At that time, I was just a county magistrate. If anyone tells me that I can become a lieutenant in eight years and sit in the three states in eight years, I will denounce it as ridiculous. Looking back on the past, I know that if it were not for Bo Tao, there would be no achievement today.

"The Lord has won the award, and this is everyone's work!" Zhao Feng was shocked when he heard the words and quickly refused.

"Bao can't be too modest. If it weren't for you, I would have done at least three things." Liu Bei seemed to fall into memory and paused and said, "One, I will not recruit An Zhongfu and others; second, Lv Bu will not return in no way when he attacks Xuzhou; third, his second brother will not enter Yuzhou. Without these three things, how can I sit in this position today!"

"Lord!" Zhao Feng also sighed when he heard the words. Looking at Liu Bei in front of him, Zhao Feng suddenly found that he had never really known him. Maybe he is not as talented as Cao Jian, and his personal ability may not be very prominent, but his ability to recognize and use people is rare. And he has always been lenient to others, so that he can use his personality charm to fool others to work for him. In Zhao Feng's opinion, there is nothing wrong with this. At least the people who work for him are willing, including themselves.

In the late autumn of 199 A.D., when the two giants in the north, Cao Jian and Yuan Shao confronted each other in Guandu, Liu Bei of Xuzhou and Liu Biao from Jingzhou jointly attacked Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Liu Bei worshipped Zhao Feng, the governor of Pengcheng, as the general of Zhengnan. He led the water and land army of 110,000, and ten generals attacked the Lujiang River. Liu Biao sent Cai Mao, the governor of the navy, to lead the Jingxiang navy south to Jiangxi, tit-for-tat with Zhou Yu in Poyang Lake. At the same time, Jingzhou was ordered not to drive Kui Yue to lead 100,000 troops to Jingnan and look at Zhou Yu across the water. In addition, Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan led 50,000 troops from the four counties of Jingnan to the south, and the soldiers pointed directly to Jiaozhou. The north and south of China, except for Yizhou in the deep mountains, are all shrouded in the flames of war.

"Lord!" In the rebellious general's mansion in Wu County, Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang came in a hurry as if their buttocks were burning, and the former was still holding a silk book in his hand.

"Why are you so panicked?" It was also a little strange that Sun Quan looked at the two who had followed his companions since he was a child in such a hurry. Pan Zhang is just a fool. Zhu Ran has always been such a rash person.

"Master, Liu Bei of Xuzhou, in the name of not paying tribute for a long time, and also attacking each other for no reason before, worshipped Zhao Feng as the general of the Southern Expedition, and 300,000 water and land troops came to fight. Here is the current article!" Zhu Ran's face turned pale, and then handed the silk book in his hand to Sun Quan.

"Thirty thousand? The old thief is so rude!" Sun Quan said fiercely after reading this article. Although Liu Bei is only 38 years old this year, compared with the 18-year-old Sun Quan, he can indeed be regarded as an old thief. Of course, if he knew that Liu Biao, who was nearly half a hundred years old, had also plugged in a bar, he might consider calling this more appropriate for the latter.

"Call everyone in the hall to discuss the matter quickly!" Sun Quan left this sentence and hurriedly took a step. Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran, who were sweating, were busy gathering a group of civil and martial arts.

"Thirty thousand? Why did Liu Bei's bluff come to this? Although he occupies Yuzhou, Xuzhou, he still needs to divide his troops to guard the four counties of Qingzhou. How can he become a 300,000 army? More than 100,000 yuan is enough!" Zhang Zhao was the first to shake his head when he heard the words, and he was quite disapproving. Everyone laughed when they heard it, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

"A hundred thousand troops are like stepping on my east of the Yangtze River. The old thief is too self-righteous!" Sun Quan understood the key and laughed. At present, Sun Quan has a total of 200,000 troops. Except for Sun Jing and Zhuge Jin, who guard Jiaozhou, there are 60,000, and the remaining six counties in Jiangdong (including seven counties in Poyang County) and 140,000 troops. Even if Poyang wants to gather some people in order to prevent Jingzhou Liu Biao, there are still nearly 100,000 left. Sun Quan is confident that 100,000 to 100,000, defense is at least not a problem.

"Lord, my Jiangdong sailor is invincible in the world. If Liu Bei has the ability to fly over the Yangtze River, we will admit it! Otherwise, even if it is a thousand troops and horses, let him die on the river!" It was Cheng Pu, the first general in Jiangdong, who said this, and the generals also nodded one after another.

"General Cheng, don't want to underestimate the enemy. After Xuzhou occupied Huainan a year ago, he has been training sailors in the Huaihe River. His ambition is not small!" Zhang Zhao poured some cold water at the appropriate time.

"Zhang Gong is worried too much. I understand that the Xuzhou sailor is only 10,000 people, there are few small people in the boat, and he is practicing in the small river ditch of the Huaihe River. I only need to lead 5,000 sailors to trace the river and destroy its water village!" Cheng Pu said proudly. At this time, someone came to report that Zhou Yu, the naval commander in Poyang, had an emergency military situation.

"Jingzhou Liu Biao said that the troops were stationed in Jingnan and Ganshui, which seemed to have the intention of eastward invasion!" Sun Quan briefly announced the military situation. Do Liu Biao and Liu Bei want to attack my Jiangdong together? After hearing the words, Zhang Zhao couldn't help frowning and talking to himself. As soon as this statement came out, it was not only himself, but also everyone who heard it.

"Don't care whether he is in Jingzhou or Xuzhou. In the end, the general is willing to lead a brigade to kill Zhao Feng first, and then destroy Cai Mao to repay the lord!" Seeing that everyone was a little depressed, Zhou Tai, who had always raves himself as the first tiger general in Jiangdong, had to stand up.

"Lord, be willing to lead the army to block Liu Bei!" It is recognized that Tai Shi Ci, the first brave general in Jiangdong, said this. Since Sun Ce's death, Tai Shici, who once tied with him, has been the first brave general in Jiangdong, and even Cheng Pu's old qualifications have been recognized.

"Guys, since it's the second Liu Tong, we need to talk about it in the long-term!" Zhang Zhao, who was still laughing at Liu Bei's bluff just now, his face became solemn at this moment.

"What's Zhang Gong's opinion?" Cheng Pu asked unhappily when he heard the words.

"In Zhao's opinion, since the second Liu can join forces, why can't we seek foreign aid?" Zhang Zhao smiled with his goatee.

"Does Zhang mean to connect Yuan Shao?" In the civil servant beside him, Yu turned forward and asked.

"It's not for Yuan Shao, but for Cao!" Zhang Zhao said with a smile.

"Cao?" Everyone was also puzzled when they heard the words: At present, Liu Bei and Cao Wei are fighting with Yuan Shao. How can they help Jiang Dong? For a moment, everyone was puzzled.
