The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 368 The eve of the decisive battle
The next day, at Liu Bei's barracks.

The quartermaster escorted the large carts and small carts, and the excited Liu Bei greeted Zhang Fei excitedly, but seeing that the number of large and small carts was obviously not too many,
Zhang Fei suddenly became unwilling, and shouted: "Hey, what the hell is this? Just this little food and military equipment? Yuan Shang is fooling people?"

"Yide!" Liu Bei turned his head and stared, and then said suspiciously: "This general, Leader Yuan promised to give our army [-] hu of military rations and [-] sharp swords."

"But why only these?"

"General Liu, calm down! My lord has said that the war is tight, and the food, grass, and military equipment that was originally promised may not be delivered until later!"

"Hey, here's five thousand dendrobium rations and eight hundred swords, all of which are high-quality goods." While talking, the quartermaster boasted and introduced the following rations.

"Fuck your mother," Zhang Fei kicked up!
"Thirty thousand dendrobium military rations turned into five thousand? Is such a small amount of rations worth for such a large Chenliu City? You little boy, tell Yuan Shang to get out, we don't want the rations!"

Zhang Fei blew his beard and stared angrily, his eyes widened angrily, it was really scary.

The quartermaster was kicked and lying on the ground crying. Before he came, he knew that this was a hard job. Who didn't know that Zhang Yide was a reckless man, and he couldn't beat the key point.

"Third brother, don't be rude!"

Liu Bei's face was gloomy, and his anger was calm.

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to personally support the quartermaster, dusted him off, then bowed and said: "My third younger brother is reckless, general, don't blame him."

"We have collected these grains and weapons, and I would like to ask the general to say hello to the leader for me."

Looking at Liu Bei's sincere eyes, the quartermaster felt a little emotional, this man is a man of excellence, the city is too deep.In fact, he is not afraid of Zhang Fei making such a fuss,

I'm afraid Liu Bei is like this, so I gladly accept and thank you.

This kind of person is too scary.

"Definitely, definitely!" The quartermaster agreed, took the men and left.

Looking at the grain dropped by the quartermaster, Zhang Fei was furious, and shouted, "This Yuan Shang is too worthless, my brother is desperately trying to get Chen Liu for him,"

"Because of this, we have also lost many brothers, but he is so perfunctory that he can't give what he promised. It's simply too deceiving."

"Okay, let's go back first!"

Liu Bei waved his hand, and after he finished speaking, he ordered the army rations to be put into the warehouse, with no expression of joy or worry.

However, because of Chen Liu's ownership, the gap between the two parties has obviously increased a lot.

…………

In the sky and wilderness, the frame creaked.

Under the umbrella of Huagailuo, there is a four-horse-drawn carriage. In the carriage, Cao Cao closed his eyes and rested, with a calm expression.

After a long time, he didn't open his eyes, but shouted loudly: "Cao Ren, where are we? How long will it take to reach Chenliu?"

"My lord, Feng County is ahead. It is estimated that the army will reach Chenliu in five days at the latest and join Yuan Shang." Cao Ren clasped his fists and said loudly.

Cao Cao opened his eyes, their eyes were piercing, full of sinister cunning and profound, "Five days is too long, order, the three armies advance at full speed, victory or defeat depends on one action."

Cao Cao was afraid, taking advantage of Zhang Xiu's absence, he needed to take Jingzhou as soon as possible, otherwise, when that man came back, no one in the world would be his opponent.

"No!" Cao Ren wept, but he still let a group of messengers shout back and forth, telling them to move faster.

"Cheng Yu, write a letter immediately and send a fast horse to Yuan Shang and Liu Bei, saying that I, Cao Cao, will lead an army of 50, and we will arrive at noon tomorrow, and let them prepare for the decisive battle!"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said something.

"My lord, here... we don't have 50 troops, we only have [-] troops, not to mention we won't be able to reach Chenliu tomorrow!"

Cheng Yu said with a blank face.

"Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's sergeants are one against ten each. Isn't this an army of 50? And I said that if it arrives tomorrow, it will arrive tomorrow. They will surely pass on the news, and the hearts of the coalition forces will be shocked!"

Cao Cao turned his head and said arrogantly.

"No, Yu will copy it now!" Cheng Yu was ashamed, his lord is still such a nonsense!

An army of 50 was suddenly blown to [-].

Thieves are scary!
But as Cao Cao said, sometimes no one pays attention to how many soldiers there are, because most people are looking for a kind of inner comfort.

If this letter from Cao Cao is passed on, everyone in the coalition knows that Cao Cao has 50 troops. How can the morale of the army not be high?
……

Chen Guo, governing the county.

At this moment, the territory of Chen State is full of soldiers and horses, and there are almost no people. They have already been transferred away. Now the territory is full of soldiers and horses. Here and Chen Liu will be the main battlefield.

At least before Zhang Xiu came back, this was the main battlefield. Whether Jingzhou could stop the coalition forces depended on it.

At this moment, in the mansion.

Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, and the commanders of the four major infantry regiments have all arrived, and the cavalry of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao have also arrived.

The navy is Jiang Qin's navy.

As for the generals, there are more, not to mention Huang Zhong and other coaches, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, He Qi, Pan Zhang, Xing Daorong, Huo Jun, Fu Tong, Niu Jin, etc.,

At this moment, apart from the defense in some places, 25 elite troops have been assembled in Jingzhou on the frontal battlefield, and the numbers are formidable and not many.

Right now, except for Wei Yan's Fifth Army, and Gan Ning's absence, almost everyone else has arrived.Most of the more than 30 elites in Jingzhou have assembled and are on standby at this moment.

"Everyone, this battle is about the safety of the whole country, and the four major legions can't be divided into one, and a commander-in-chief should be elected right now."

Huang Zhong took the initiative to bring it up.

As the words came out, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and they didn't know how to make a choice. After all, each had its own gang and each had its own camp. In this situation, I definitely hope that my boss will be in charge.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang strode out waving his feather fan, and said with a smile, "Everyone, what General Huang said is right, one person should lead the three armies against the coalition forces!"

"Liang thought that General Huang was the first to follow the lord and made great contributions. It would be great if General Huang was the commander-in-chief of the three armies!"

"What's more, General Huang, regardless of martial arts, combat achievements, or moral character, is at the top, and he can be the commander of the three armies. I don't know what you think."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and the original dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang suddenly disappeared, not because he spoke for himself, but because he had a big picture.

At this time, only I have this qualification, this ability to coordinate the three armies!Because whether it is Xu Shu or Zhuge Liang, their prestige in the army is still a little bit worse.

As for Wenpin, its commanding ability is not up to it.

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and said with emotion in his heart: "Kong Ming is making concessions for the sake of Jingzhou. He opened his mouth first, directly cutting off other people's competition for the position of coach, and preventing internal strife."

"General Huang's bravery is incomparable to the world, and I have no objection."

"The last general will obey the general's orders!" Wen Pin was even more direct, if Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were on the same team, then he and Huang Zhong were on the other team.

"We have no objection!" All the generals said in unison.

They thought that this matter would quarrel for three days and three nights because of their status, but they didn't expect that because of Zhuge Liang's words, the matter that originally needed to quarrel was settled directly.

Huang Zhong's eyes were deep, and he glanced around, and the pressure fell on him imperceptibly, and he said loudly:

"Everyone, Huang is not talented. Now that he can live and die, he is willing to take on this important task. I also hope that we will work together to repel powerful enemies and protect our country!"

Huang Zhong did his part, because Zhuge Liang had already said so, there was no need for him to shirk, winning now is the key!

"We are willing to listen to the command of the commander!" Everyone said loudly.

Huang Zhong strode to the sand table on one side. The sand table is a scaled terrain, which is relatively comprehensive.

Taking out his painting stick, Huang Zhong said directly: "The city of Chen County is small and small. Although it is a prefecture, it is not conducive to hundreds of thousands of troops fighting. I intend to push out the front line, push it to Changping, and form a line with Xu Chu of Chen County. !"

"Chang Ping?" Everyone was curious.

So what, this Changping is not that Changping.

"To the northwest of Changping, there is a large open plain. Our army only needs to send people to camp here, and the enemy coalition forces will definitely pull it out and stand against it!"

Huang Zhong pointed to Changping County on the map and said solemnly.

"Marshal, are we going to fight them?" Wen Pin said with a frown.

"That's right, Yuan Shang has nearly [-] iron cavalry, and Liu Bei has more than [-] iron cavalry. Both of them are elite cavalry, but our army is intimidated by fireworks and has no fear."

"Infantry, it is estimated that Cao Cao and Liu Zhang are the strongest. It is estimated that the enemy army has a total of 30 infantry and about 15 cavalry, a total of nearly 50 troops."

"Destroy it, you can enter the world!" After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he swept his sleeves away, indicating that the world belongs to them.

"What do you think!" Huang Zhong asked back.

"There is no objection. The enemy is bound to come from Chenliu, and Changping can defend the left-wing line of defense to prevent the enemy from attacking west. It is a good choice!"

On the contrary, Zhuge Liang admitted with a smile.

"What do you generals think?" Huang Zhong asked.

"I will follow the order of the commander in chief!" All the generals responded in unison.

"Okay, let's pass on the order. The generals of the various ministries will lead their troops to set up a stronghold with Changping City, and fight to the death with the enemy!" Huang Zhong shouted again.

But this time, the decisive battle position has been set.

…………

A few days later, Cao Cao arrived first.

It is not surprising that the 50 army has shrunk to [-], and the scouts from all walks of life have also detected that the enemy army is deploying and gathering in the direction of Quang Binh.

Cao Cao didn't have time to say anything, and directly led people to start the layout of the coalition forces.

"Look, everyone, Chen County, Guangping, and Xuchang, these three places have completely guarded the route of our army's march to the southwest. If we want to win now, we must defeat the Jingzhou Army on the frontal battlefield."

"Guangping is the junction of Chen County and Xuchang, and the three places respond one by one. I think our army can set up Fugou as an optional camp, and at the same time, our army will set up the camp fifty miles north of Changping."

"In this decisive battle, the two wings are of course important, but the front must be won. Therefore, I intend to gather all the elites of our army and pile them all on the front, so that we can defeat Jingzhou with dignity."

"Moreover, not only to defeat, but also to defeat at the fastest speed."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at everyone like a torch.

"That's right, let's fight Guangping decisively. Before Zhang Xiu comes back, we must fight quickly. Otherwise, if Zhang Xiu comes back, I'm worried that this person will have some weird tricks!"

It was Jushou who said this, and he was a little depressed.

There was no way, he boasted that he was very strong, but when he met Zhang Xiu, he was beaten casually, it was so disgusting.This person is ridiculously strong, and his methods are outrageous.

"In this case, wait for Liu Xun's troops to arrive, gather heavy troops, and fight Guangping decisively!" Yuan Shang said loudly.

"Leader, Liu Xun left Yizhou on the road to Shu. The road is difficult. I don't know when he will arrive. Our army will take the first step to occupy a favorable position, otherwise we will fall into a passive position."

Cao Cao immediately explained.

"Then break out of the camp tomorrow and prepare for the decisive battle in Guangping!" Yuan Shang nodded in response.

…………

A few days later, outside Guangping City.

Hundreds of thousands of troops confront each other, this is a grand occasion.

Since the professionalization of arms, there has been no attack by tens of thousands of people in the pre-Qin and Warring States period, but this time, it is unprecedentedly strong.

Yellow sand was flying all over the sky, countless war drums resounded fiercely through the sky, all kinds of roars were continuous, and there were more than a thousand war flags hunting.

However, this is only the first meeting.

To put it simply, practicing morale is also a good time to suppress the opponent!
And this whole day, the three armies practiced and provoked each other. All kinds of military drills were very imposing, but both sides were not weak, but they didn't start the war immediately.

…………

sunset, dusk.

At this time, in the coalition camp.

Cao Cao's face was dignified, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and other generals in the hall were numerous. After a short glance, Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Everyone, it is unwise to confront each other like this!"

"The retreat of the Jingzhou Legion is to deliberately shrink the front line and increase the logistics pressure of our coalition forces. It is better to wait for work, so this battle can only be fought quickly, not delayed!"

"Now, the morale of the enemy army is like a rainbow, and it is impossible to attack by force. In my opinion, let people take turns calling the battle to lure the soldiers of Jingzhou to fight. If you want to use the bravery of the two generals Guan and Zhang, the enemy army will definitely lose! If you close the city and don't fight, It will also damage the morale of the enemy troops."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei.

There are quite a few generals under this person, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are all top-notch, and this Ma Chao, who is said to be famous in Xiqiang, is a top-notch general.

In addition, on his own side, Xu Chu Dianwei can completely suppress the opponent to fight, not to mention that he still has brothers Xiahou, Cao Ren, Xu Huang and others under his command, all of whom are not weak.

"Call formation?" Yuan Shang muttered.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the generals under his command. He didn't have any super strong ones. They were all supported by Hebei's four court pillars, but the four court pillars died three times, and they were gone.

Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was gearing up and said excitedly: "Hey, Cao Cao, I am happy to hear what you said. What kind of bullshit is the first and second general, let me see Zhang Fei take the first rank."

"Call out, very good!" Ma Chao said darkly.

Liu Xun scratched his head in embarrassment, and immediately said, "Mr. Cao, we don't have many generals in our army. I'm afraid..."

"Hehe, don't worry, brother Liu Bei and I are here, the general is enough to kill the enemy general." Cao Cao smiled brightly, looking at Liu Bei who had been expressionless.

Liu Bei, who had been pondering for a long time, bowed at this moment and said: "Thanks to Meng De for his respect. Ten years ago, three of my brothers killed Hua Xiong and fought fiercely with Lu Bu, and became famous all over the world.
But today, it is still the coalition forces, so let the three of my brothers kill the generals and make meritorious service! "

"Hehe, good, with Xuande's words, this battle must be won!" Cao Cao shouted loudly, he had personally seen Guan Zhang Zhiyong, and he was by no means weaker than Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

He tried to poach the wall before, but failed.

"Since that's the case, let's call an array to suppress the morale of the enemy army tomorrow, and at the same time build engineering equipment. When the morale of the enemy army is frustrated, the three armies will attack the city again."
