Liu Bei really invested a lot this time. He had only 50,000 troops and only 45,000 troops were left besides the 5,000 navy troops, and 10,000 were guarding Runan. He was afraid that Cao Ren, who was left behind, would be seized by Cao Ren, who was left behind, and the remaining 35,000 people could be said to be used. Among the generals, there were Zhang Fei and Chen Dao. Although Liu Pi was a little short, he was still a second-rate general. Both Zhang Fei and Chen Dao were first-class.

Except for Sun Gan's absence, Liu Paopuo brought everything he could. Jian Yong was responsible for transporting military rations on the rear, and Pang Tong was the military advisor of the entire army. With the cooperation of the two, it was really a luxurious lineup.

"Liu Bei sent troops?!" Xu Shu put down the information in his hand in Shouchun. His brows frowned. Not only did Zhang Xiu's flag appear near Guangzhou, but Liu Bei's troops, but he was only able to find out when many intelligence personnel died. Liu Bei brought no less than tens of thousands of people this time.

This is awful. In the entire Shouchun, Xu Shu had 50,000 soldiers and horses, but it was impossible for these 50,000 soldiers to fight in the field at all! These are the soldiers recruited by Liu Mang when the 1.2 million people arrived. He could fight in the field at the city. He was completely a bunch of new soldiers and Shouchun didn’t have many soldiers. It would be nice to have half of these 50,000 soldiers and horses on the ship armor.

Now that Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu join forces together, it is really difficult to deal with. Originally, Zhang Xiu only relied on cavalry, and he was at most rampant for a while. As long as the city gate was closed, his cavalry could still attack the city? Now, with Liu Bei and Liu Da'er's infantry, it is completely enough to capture the city and plunder the land.

"Like the Marquis Wen of Lujiang sent a letter of help!" Xu Shu said to a soldier next to him. Now he can only ask for help, but Xu Shu was not unable to "let Zhang Rui and Deng Yi each bring 20,000 troops to guard Hefei, Lujiang! Tell them that they only need to defend the city and not be allowed to fight!"

"Take 20,000 each?" The generals and schoolmen next to them didn't understand. "What about you, the military advisor!" There were only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Shouchun, and there would be only 10,000 left. Then how can you protect Shouchun?

"Haha. I don't have to worry!" Xu Shu smiled. If Lujiang and Hefei were both broken, then Shouchun would have no danger to defend, completely exposed to the enemy's sword light. There was no need to fight. You could siege Xu Shu to death by siege. After all, there was insufficient food and grass in Shouchun. If Hefei and Lujiang were not broken, then Liu Bei and Wancheng Zhang Xiu would not dare to enter the hinterland of Shouchun, because in this way, the military ration supply line of Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu was completely exposed to the attack of Lu Bu's army. There was no food near Shouchun to replenish Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu. If you want military rations, you must bring them yourself. A safe rear is the transit station for military rations. If you can't get Lujiang in Hefei, you will not be safe in supplying military rations.

I believe that the Wen Hou of Lujiang will not ignore Shouchun. Once there is a problem with Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's military ration supply, he will have to withdraw his troops.

Xu Shu left behind ten thousand men and horses because he prevented accidents. The cavalry speed was very fast. If Zhang Xiu really relied on the cavalry to attack the city, Xu Shu would not have no soldiers to use. Ten thousand men and horses were a bit inadequate to protect Shouchun, but there were still millions of people in the city. It was enough to use them to defend the city.

...

Zhang Xiu's Western Liang Iron Cavalry and Liu Mang's 40,000 troops formed an alliance under Guangzhou, and Liu Bei used Pingchun as the back base to transport food and grass.

"General Zuo, Duke Xuande, why are you here this time?!" Although Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei's army had contacts, they had always been in correspondence. They had never met each other before. This time, the lords from both sides personally led the troops to fight.

"General Zhang, the one who came here this time was to help the general get justice. Originally, the 16,000 gold was given to the general, and was admired by the general's previous fight against Cao thieves. Who would have thought that he was robbed by these three family slaves and left. The general sent an envoy to contact him, but these three family slaves killed the general's envoy and insulted General Yu. This matter arose because of the facts. For the general, it should be restored to justice for the general!" Liu Bei spoke righteously, as if he was a saint, and wanted to help Zhang Xiu get justice.

"Try back to justice?" Zhang Xiu was not a fool. He sneered in his heart as he heard Liu Bei's words. "If it's just like this, please go back! Although Xiu is weak, she can still get justice for herself, so she won't bother General Zuo!"

"This!" Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu were polite. Who knew that Zhang Xiu would not take the opportunity at all, and just said something that made Liu Bei's face turn apart and he didn't appreciate it at all.

"Why are Zhang Xiu talking to my elder brother?" Zhang Fei, who was dissatisfied, looked angry and picked up the spear and pointed it at Zhang Xiu.

"Who dares to hurt my lord!" Aside Zhang Xiu, he was also a powerful general, not weaker than Zhang Fei. He had a pair of iron hammers in his hand and was buzzing. This was not a hollow hammer, but a solid hammer. A pair of hammers weighed no less than 100 kilograms.

"Hu Cheer, go there, otherwise I don't blame me for not recognizing people with Zhang Fei's snake spear!" Zhang Fei shouted when he saw the person coming. Isn't this exactly Hu Cheer under Zhang Xiu who drank with him and sleeped with him? Who is the easiest person to make friends? That is, people with common hobbies. Zhang Fei likes to drink, and so is Hu Cheer. The two drunkards are hard to part with when they meet, and their relationship seems to be good.

"Zhang Hei-faced, you should go there. If you don't respect my master, don't blame me Hu Cheer for letting you eat a hammer!" Hu Cheer is not a Han Chinese, but a Qiang tribe. He has followed Zhang Xiu since he was a child. It can be said that Zhang Xiu's brothers who worshipped Zhang Fei are the same as Zhang Fei and Liu Bei. He has a good impression of Zhang Fei. The two have become friends because of drinking, but all friends in front of the lord are nonsense. He killed such a drunk friend Dian Wei.

Zhang Fei and Hu Cheer were still confronting each other, and Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu were also looking at each other, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong.

"Lord, General Zhang Xiu, what do you think of Pang Tong?" Pang Tong inserted his words.

"It's okay to talk about Shi Yuan!"

"Sir, it's okay!"

"General Zhang Xiu, the wise man will not say secret words. Our coming this time is the same as the general!" Pang Tong stepped forward and said.

"Oh? Is it? Is General Zuo also here to ask for the 16,000 gold?!" Zhang Xiu's words were a bit sarcastic. No wonder Zhang Xiu had asked Jia Xu for advice before going to the war. Now Jia Xu has never asked for advice since Zhang Xiu killed Cao Cao's son. This is Jia Xu's life-saving skill. Jia Xu told Zhang Xiu that this 6,000 gold was not robbed by Lu Bu and obtained by Liu Bei.

In name, this six thousand thousand gold was originally given to Zhang Xiu by Liu Bei. If it was obtained by Liu Bei, it means that Liu Bei did not give out this six thousand gold at all, and was using this as an excuse to provoke the war between Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu.

If Zhang Xiu had been furious before, not only would not send troops to Lu Bu, but would question Liu Bei, but that would have said that! That was before, Zhang Xiu not only did not settle the score with Liu Bei, but was confused and confusing to settle the score with Lu Bu. Why? First, that was Lu Bu killed Zhang Xiu's envoy. At that time, Zhang Xiu thought it was Lu Bu who sent someone to rob him. If Lu Bu explained Zhang Xiu, it might be more comfortable, but Lu Bu killed Zhang Xiu's envoy directly, it would be a slap in the face. Second, this is also the most important point, that is Sun Ce's household destruction plan. Sun Ce not only gave Liu Bei and Liu Biao a letter a few months ago. He also gave Zhang Xiu a letter. The 1.2 million people were placed in Shouchun, and Lu Bu's army could not bear it at all. He would either block the road to Shouchun and break the trust in the world, or endure the suffering with his nose.

The food, drink, defecation and urination of 1.2 million people is not a small problem. The simplest thing is, the food and grass of Lu Bu's army will not be enough for 1.2 million people to eat. Once the food and grass are insufficient, not only will the people riot, but the Lu Bu's army will not be able to send troops again. It will only be two months since we calculated carefully. Zhang Xiu will still do it. After all, Dong Zhuo, the first boss of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, is a big robber.

Of course, Zhang Xiu would not let go of such a good excuse to send troops.

What Zhang Xiu’s words mean is that I have already seen what you, Liu Bei, want to use me, Zhang Xiu? Do you really think that I, Zhang Xiu, are you a fool?

"General Zhang Xiu, although our lord didn't give that 16,000 gold, please don't forget General Zhang Xiu. Our lord also gave 17,000 gold. If such a generous gift is exchanged for the general to send troops, will the general lose?!" Pang Tong said calmly.

Yes, even if it doesn't count the 16,000 yuan gold, Liu Bei gave Zhang Xiu a lot of things, and the total amount was more than 10,000 yuan, which was more than 10,000 yuan. Liu Mang sold bed crossbows at this price. These were enough for him, Zhang Xiu to raise tens of thousands of troops.

Since Zhang Xiu understands it, let’s make it clear.

"What does General Zuo want?" Zhang Xiu was not the kind of unreasonable person. Whether Liu Bei used him or not, he solved a big problem with Zhang Xiu, so Zhang Xiu also repaid.

"What does General Zhang want?!" Pang Tong did not answer immediately, but asked back.

"Xuan wants all the money and food in Lujiang!" Zhang Xiu said.

"All the money and food in Lujiang?" Pang Tong asked for a moment of fright.

"Why are there too many? You must know that my 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry wants to block the tiger and his 5,000 wolf cubs for you!" Zhang Xiu was a little dissatisfied. Lu Bu's army was rich in only two places, one was Shouchun and the other was Lujiang. Zhang Xiu gave up Shouchun, what else did he want!

"No, no, General Zhang Xiu, you misunderstood my lord's meaning! My lord's meaning is that not only will the money and food in Lujiang County belong to you, but also the money and food near Shouchun belong to you! "Pang Tong was very generous on the surface, but he was happy in his heart. Money and food? This Zhang Xiu was really short-sighted. What can he do if he had money and food in troubled times? What's important now is that the foundation is land. Only by occupying one land can you achieve greater development. Even if the money and food in Lujiang County and Shouchun are given to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu is only a county. No, it should be said that there is only one city, and there are not many people. Almost all the soldiers have become a military base. In this way, all the money and food will be spent sooner or later.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Only with territory and population can there be continuous food and taxes.

And there is another reason why Pang Tong is so generous is that Lu Bu's army may have money, but what about food and grass? Haha, it's definitely going to take out his old foundation. If there are sufficient military rations, who would fight with Lu Bu?

"That's true?" Zhang Xiu asked with joy on his face. It's not a pity that Zhang Xiushun was short-sighted. First, Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei thought differently. Zhang Xiu was like Cai Mao from Jingzhou. They were not trying to dominate one side or to win the world, but waiting for a price to sell. They were waiting for a wise master to surrender, or they wanted to see whoever had the big chips would follow him as their younger brother. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were the targets of their bets.

The more money and food they have, the more soldiers they have, the more they will naturally have.

"You can write letters to alliance!" Pang Tong said with certainty and affirmation.

"What do I need to do?!" Zhang Xiu also calmed down. Such a great benefit would not be without giving.

"There is no need for the general to do anything! After several months, the plan of the little overlord of Jiangdong is gradually taking effect. Lu Bu is short of food and supplies, so it is probably a problem to send troops, but we cannot be careless. So if Lu Bu reinforcements arrive in Lujiang, please stop General Zhang and teach General Zhang a few times. The attack will be left to us!" Zhang Xiu's 20,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry has good mobility, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry who can crotch Lu Bu can even threaten Lujiang. They can fully attract the attention of Lu Bu's army, and all Liu Bei needs to do is knock out these Yangzhou cities one by one.

"Okay, like the enemy is in infantry battle, Xiu should be swallowed by the left general, like the enemy is in cavalry, Xiu should be rejected by the left general!" The 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry was really not a joke. Why did Lao Cao fall in love with Zhang Xiu at the beginning because of the 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Zhang Xiu's hand? According to the original trajectory, even if Lao Cao was killed by Zhang Xiu's son and his beloved general Dian Wei died, Lao Cao still accepted Zhang Xiu because of this Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

If Zhang Xiu had always grasped the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, Lao Cao might be afraid. After Zhang Xiu joined Cao's army, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was divided into scattered, and only thousands of people were left in Zhang Xiu's hands. A huge strength was demolished by himself. Who would Lao Cao kill if Zhang Xiu didn't kill?

Zhang Xiu had his confidence. If Lu Bu's army either did not come, if it came, the entire army would definitely attack, trapped the camp, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Both of these two troops, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, had fought against each other. Bingzhou wolf cavalry was the best of Gao Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but at most it was twice as different. He had a total of 20,000 people.

"Haha, so, our Lord should give General Zhang Xiu a big gift today!" Pang Tong winked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei nodded.

"Great gift?" Zhang Xiu didn't understand.

"I wonder if General Zhang Xiu is interested in the money and food in Gushi Anfeng, Guangzhou?"

"Gushi Anfeng Guangzhou? Within today? Liu Bei plans to draw three cities in one day?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
