Chapter 534 The Battle of Yuzhou(1/2)

In the city management army camp, Lu Su was teaching a group of men below with chalk made of blackboards and lime above.

"Weapon is the track!" Lu Su spoke a little boringly, but everyone below tasted it with relish, because these people cherished this rare opportunity to study, and the teacher and general above said that this person was a great scholar and a great talent, just like the saints mentioned in the book, if you learn from them, you will have the opportunity to be a general.

So Liu Mang's personal soldiers cherished this group of urban management troops. They wrote on paper with a pen. Although the writing was not good-looking, they could understand it themselves. There was not enough paper. They recorded everything on their clothes. They just waited to take it out and review it in the evening, so that they would not forget it. Then wash it off with water and write it in a few days.

After three consecutive classes in the morning, Lu Su ended his interpretation of the art of war.

After wiping the sweat on his head, Lu Su was a little tired. After all, he had to attend three times this day, three classes at a time. It can be said that Lu Su is the most tiring person in the army. But even if he is tired, Lu Su was happy. As a scholar, or as a literati, what he wanted most was to write books. Lu Su believed that even those who were full of talents in the world could not compare with Lu Su, and could even be compared with Confucius.

Confucius had three thousand disciples, but Lu Su had five thousand disciples. These city management soldiers didn’t call Lu Su, and this feeling made Lu Su very satisfied.

"Master Lu! He's very good at speaking. Thank you for your hard work. Come and have a drink of tea!" Lu Su was about to pack up and prepare to go back to rest. An acquaintance came over there, holding tea in his hand.

Lu Su couldn't help laughing when he saw this. Isn't this person the head general of the city management army? Cheng Yu?

"General Cheng." Cheng Yu called himself Lu's army, and Lu Su could not be rude. He called General Cheng. At the beginning, the two of them were fighting each other, but now they were like friends. Cheng Yu, the commander of the army, also brought tea and water to Lu Su.

Lu Su was not polite either. The two of them immediately sat down and drank tea. Lu Su was thirsty too.

"Lu Shi. You're going to camp, I'd still want to ask!" Although Cheng Yu is the chief general of the city management army, his military strategy is not good. If he hadn't been following Liu Mang for a long time, he wouldn't have been the absolute confidant, and Cheng Yu wouldn't have been the chief general of the city management army.

It is precisely because he knows his shortage that Cheng Yu is eager to supplement his military strategy knowledge.

The two discussed for a long time. Until the meal time was about to pass, "Let's go, Master Lu, today I'll invite Master Lu to dinner, and I'll also invite Master Lu to appreciate his face." Cheng Yu said respectfully to Lu Su.

"No, no!"

"Why doesn't Master Lu give face?" Cheng Yu looked a little angry.

"It's not that Su is not giving face. Shinnasu still has to teach classes in the afternoon, so he has no time to drink with General Cheng!" Lu Su refused. He has to attend classes in the afternoon, so what if he gets drunk?

"Haha, so that's it! Master Lu don't worry, Master Lu doesn't need to go to the afternoon class." Cheng Yu said with a smile at Lu Su.

"Yeah? What does General Cheng say? Has Yangzhou found a better talent than Su?" Lu Su still had his arrogance. Although he was captured, Lu Su was also very talented. If he didn't let himself teach, it means that there was someone who replaced him. This person must be more talented than himself, otherwise how could he come to replace him?

"This is not yet!" Cheng Yu shook his head and said.

"Why?" Lu Su was a little angry. He really thought that Lu Su was a person, and he would just come and go.

"Oh! Master Lu misunderstood." Cheng Yu looked at Lu Su's face and then explained, "It's not that I have found a better talent in Yangzhou, nor that Lu Su's ability is not enough, but that the urban management army may not have time to listen to the class."

"Is it going to go to the expedition?" Before Cheng Yu finished explaining, Lu Su guessed that there were training troops everywhere in Yangzhou. The city management army can be said to be the most leisurely one, and he didn't even take them there when he went to the expedition to Linhuai.

Now that the urban management army has no time, it must be going to war.

"Jiangdong? No!" Lu Su shook his head. Although Jiangdong had hatred with Yangzhou and Yangzhou formed an alliance with Jingzhou, Yangzhou would not attack Jiangdong. Not to mention that Yangzhou would not give Jingzhou a dowry, just say that the Yangtze River was in danger. As long as the Jiangdong naval army was undefeated, then Yangzhou's troops would not be able to pass it over. There has been no news of the defeat of the Jiangdong naval army in these days.

"Xu Du Cao Cao?" Lu Su shook his head again. It shouldn't be. Although Cao Cao put all the main forces in the north, his troops in the Central Plains were not attacking enough to defend, and Yangzhou would not provoke Cao Cao at this time. If Lao Cao was angered, the fun would be great. With the scale of Cao Cao's army of hundreds of thousands, Yangzhou would really be difficult to resist.

"Liu Bei, Yuzhou?" There is only one choice, but Lu Su still doesn't understand.

"Master Lu is Master Lu!" Cheng Yu naturally knew that he could not hide it from Lu Su, and he did not hide it.

"General Cheng, I don't understand at all. Will Liu Biao in Jingzhou be willing to attack Yuzhou?" Lu Su asked in confusion. Lu Su knew that Liu Mang had gone to Jingzhou to buy food and grass, and Jingzhou was sold. However, once Yangzhou attacked Yuzhou, Liu Biao might have concerns. He might not only not help Yangzhou, but also restrain Yangzhou. Because both Liu Bei and Liu Mang exist, which is most in line with the interests of Jingzhou. In this case, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is the target of both sides. As for Xudu, if Cao Cao goes south, Yangzhou Liu Mang and Yuzhou Liu Bei are not fools. Even if there is a great grudge, they will form an alliance. Otherwise, the two will definitely be wiped out.

Once Liu Mang's Yangzhou annexes Yuzhou, it will be the overlord of the Central Plains. Liu Biao in Jingzhou is afraid that Cao Cao from Xu Du will go south. Aren't he afraid that Liu Mang from the Central Plains will go south? With Liu Bei in Xinye, Liu Biao can completely interfere in the Central Plains.

Without Liu Bei, would Liu Mang, the dominant Central Plains, let Jingzhou enter the Central Plains?

"Haha, Master Lu, you don't know now!" Cheng Yu immediately told Lu Su about Liu Bei's long-distance raiding Fancheng in Jingzhou and taking down Fancheng and threatening Liu Biao.

"Is Liu Bei in Yuzhou crazy?" Lu Su was stunned for a moment. Taking Fancheng was completely offended Liu Biao to death. Even if Liu Biao had a good temper, he would not be able to bear it.

"Fancheng. Fancheng" Lu Su read it twice, but it was wrong. If you take Fancheng, you can forget Jingzhou. This is a dangerous move, but once you succeed, the result will be really great.

"Are the defenders of Fancheng idiots? They were so easily taken down by Fancheng." In Cheng Yu's words, Liu Bei went down to Fancheng in one day. What Lu Su didn't know was that Liu Bei also went there with a soy attitude, and he could succeed. If he couldn't succeed, he would come back.

But someone helped him. With Liu Mang's white horse Congyi helping him, Liu Bei cleared all the guard posts around him, and helped Liu Bei open the gate of Fancheng. Only then would there be a ghost if Liu Bei couldn't take Fancheng.

Liu Bei took over Fancheng and Fancheng had food and grass. Logically speaking, Liu Bei would expand his army, and Yangzhou also lacked food and grass. At this time, we should wait for Jingzhou's food and grass to be delivered.

"Master Lu, how did the white flour steamed buns taste like the two days ago!" Cheng Yu said with a smile. "Your white flour steamed buns are the food and grass I got from Yuzhou." Some time ago, Yangzhou was short of food and grass. Everyone was nervous about eating, but recently they did eat some good things. And these food and grass I got from Yuzhou.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, King of Shu!" Lu Su was also stunned. If it was really what Cheng Yu said, Liu Bei in Yuzhou could be considered as losing his wife and his troops. He did not get the benefits, and in the end he would be embarrassed.

Liu from Jingzhou said that he had offended him to death and had no food or supplies, and was beaten back to Yuzhou.

Isn’t this sitting and waiting to die? If this continues, one will rise and fall. Yangzhou will definitely expand its army with this batch of food and grass. It is no problem to take Yuzhou. After getting Yuzhou, he will be the overlord of the Central Plains. Even if Cao Cao is pacified in Hebei, he will not be able to fight Cao Cao, because there is a great tycoon in Jingzhou behind Yangzhou.

Originally, Lu Su thought that Yangzhou would inevitably be defeated, but in the end Yangzhou was defeated, Lu Su was not allowed to fly, so he would forget it when he returned to Jiangdong District, but if Yangzhou became the overlord of the Central Plains, it would be different, and Lu Su's mind could be considered moving.

If he could become the overlord of the Central Plains, this Shu King Liu Mang was never a good lord. Where did Lu Su want to display his talents?

"Master Lu?Master Lu?" Cheng Yu looked at Lu Su standing in front of him and couldn't help but make a louder voice. He shouted several times, but Lu Su still looked dazed.

"Yeah? General Cheng." Lu Su reacted and shook his body.

"Master Lu can't refuse my invitation this time!" Cheng Yu said to Lu Su with a smile.

"This is natural, this is natural, but can General Cheng agree to the next condition?" Lu Su asked Cheng Yu sincerely.

"Condition?" What are the conditions for asking you to drink? "Come and have a look."

"I wonder if General Cheng can convince General Xu Junshi to let Su go to Yuzhou with the city management army," Lu Su said with his fist at Cheng Yu.

"Go to Yuzhou? Where are you doing, Master Lu?" Cheng Yu didn't understand. That was the place for war. Why did you, a literati, go?

"As the saying goes, I want to watch the battle of Yuzhou after reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles." Lu Su could only say with a shameless face. He couldn't say that I was optimistic about your lord, and this time I wanted to find an opportunity to meet him.

"That's it, okay, Master Lu, wait. I'll go to the military advisor's mansion to ask the military advisor. Master Lu must go to the appointment on time." Cheng Yu said to Lu Su.

"This is natural, this is natural!" Lu Su nodded.

...

"Lu Su Lu Zijing wants to follow Yuzhou?" In the conference hall in Shouchun, Yangzhou, Xu Shu put down the desk and looked at Cheng Yu in confusion.

"Yes! Master Lu said he wanted to go to Yuzhou with my city management army!" Cheng Yu said to Xu Shu without hiding it.

"What does he want to do when he goes to Yuzhou? Do you want to escape?" Xu Shu's first reaction was that Lu Su wanted to escape, because in Yangzhou, Lu Su had no place to go, so what else could he do besides teaching, but it might not be necessary if he goes to Yuzhou.

"Uh, this, this!" Cheng Yu didn't know what to say, and he couldn't guarantee that Lu Su didn't want to escape, after all, both sides had been enemies.

"General Cheng, you said all your words in Lu Su and Lu Zijing to us." There was a scholar next to Xu Shu, but this scholar. Now there is no scholar like a scholar, but he is a rural farmer. This person is Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang. You can't blame Liu Ye. Liu Ye is exhausted. He is either in the countryside or on the construction site all day long. How can he be like a farmer?

"Yes!" Cheng Yu immediately told him how he talked to Lu Su and what he wanted to invite Lu Su to drink.

"Hahahaha!" As soon as Xu Shu finished speaking, he didn't react, but Liu Ye next to him laughed.

"Zi Yang. What fun is so funny!" Xu Shu looked at Liu Ye incomprehensible. He was so busy here. Liu Ye still had the leisure to laugh.

"Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi, you said that if the iron tree blooms, this elm has a good head. Do you think you should laugh at such a good thing?" Liu Ye stood aside and laughed loudly.

"Iron tree blooms? Elm head. Lu Su, Lu Zijing?"

"That's right!" Liu Ye is not much smarter than Xu Shu, but Liu Ye and Lu Su met. Liu Ye didn't know what Lu Su looks like. This guy is just an honest and overly honest person, not doing things in his position. This is Lu Su's idea. When Lu Su was captured in Yangzhou, Lu Su Lu Zijing was swearing to never surrender. Now, his heart is moving. He wanted to join the Yangzhou army but was afraid of being laughed at, but it would be different if he traveled with the army. If he could achieve any credit, it would be the guise of fighting together, so he could naturally join the Yangzhou army.

"In this case, it would be impossible not to let this Lu army go to Yuzhou!" Xu Shu laughed after hearing this. Xu Shu knew that Lu Su was a talent, otherwise he would not have been able to teach the military strategy of the city management. He was the military advisor for several attacks on Yangzhou in Jiangdong. Although he lost several battles, most of them were willing to blame Lu Su.

...

Although Liu Mang was under house arrest in Jingzhou, the information from Yangzhou was not bad at all, and Jingzhou also agreed to it. Otherwise, if Liu Mang made a fuss, everyone would not be in good condition.

"Yuan Zhi is ready!" Liu Mang took the document sent from Yangzhou in his hand and looked at it.

"Military Advisor Xu Shu is ready." Jia Xu nodded. This time his goal was not other places but Yuzhou, in order to remove the nails and candy of Liu Da'er, an old Yuzhou fried dough stick. Liu Bei has been against the Yangzhou army since Xuzhou, and even almost died several times.

If Liu Mang doesn't hold grudges, there will be a ghost. This time Liu Bei attacked Fancheng. Liu Mang pretended to be Liu Bei's military advisor and cheated Liu Bei for more than 200,000 grain and grass, almost returning empty-handed, and lost 5,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou has been offended to death by Liu Bei. It is impossible to rely on Liu Biao to make peace. Liu Bei himself is still at a point where he is about to lose his temper. The main force is beaten by Liu Mang to only 20,000. The key is that there is no news about Liu Da'er's main military advisor Pang Shiyuan, and there are only a few dog-headed second-rate military advisors Liu Mang, who don't seize this opportunity to kill Liu Da'er in one fell swoop, I'm really sorry for Liu Bei's big cake.

After taking over Yuzhou, Yuzhou also had territory of nine counties and two countries. The capital of Yuzhou was originally in Ancheng, with nine counties under the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County, Chen County, Lu County, Runan County, Qiao County, Yiyang County, Yang'an County, Xiangcheng County, Ruyin County, as well as two countries, Liang and Pei.

Now even if Cao Cao takes over the three counties of Yingchuan, Qiao County and Yang'an County, Liu Bei has six counties in his hands. Liu Mang has taken advantage of hundreds of thousands of people and took over Yuzhou. Not only did Liu Bei and Liu Da'er, who had lost this dog-skin plaster, he could also expand Yangzhou's territory and occupy the Central Plains. With the Central Plains, Liu Mang can have strength in the subsequent battle with Cao Cao in Xudu.

Five thousand urban management troops were drawn out by Liu Mang. Huang Zhong had 300,000 reserve troops, and 50,000 troops were already installed and able to go to the battlefield. Liu Mang stuffed all the urban management troops with excellent academic performance into them and asked them to take on the role of the generals of the 100 generals. This was the first step for the officers. Other urban management troops still marched into Yuzhou with their original organization.

"The Black Chess Army allocated Lujiang?" Liu Mang frowned. This time, Liu Mang was about to put up most of the bargaining chips. He wanted to kill Liu Bei and Liu Da'er in one go. It can be said that the Black Flag Army is also a heavy armored unit in Liu Mang's hands. If Liu Mang did not bring the combat effectiveness of this Black Flag Army, he would lose 30%.

"The Black Flag Army has allocated Lujiang. This is not the idea of ​​Xu Shu's military advisor. This is the idea of ​​Lord Wen of Lujiang!" Jia Xu looked at Liu Mang and said in a low voice.

"It's my father-in-law again!" How could Liu Mang not know Lu Bu's idea? He could only squeeze out a smile on his face. He transferred the Black Flag Army to Lujiang. The one who was transferred back was naturally another heavy armored infantry battle.

"It's good to trap the camp." Liu Mang could only pinch his nose and admit it. What Liu Mang is afraid of now is to transfer another cavalry of Xiliang to Lujiang to transfer the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou to Yangzhou.

Liu Mang really saw the order to be transferred by the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Fortunately, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was not transferred away. The white horse congyi was transferred from Yangzhou to Lujiang. Now there are two heavy armored cavalry in Yangzhou.

One Western Liang Iron Cavalry and the other Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, five thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry can defeat Liu Bei's 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Now there is an additional Western Liang Iron Cavalry that has been replaced. Liu Bei's heavy armored cavalry must stay in Yuzhou.

In the infantry battle, the city management army and the trap camp also went north. Ten thousand Qingzhou army was really not enough, and there were still 50,000 reserves in the siege.

"How about Xinye's replacement defense!" Liu Bei was concerned about Xinye. Now the Yangzhou army was dispatching basic orders, and he was waiting for the food and grass to be in place and he could go to the expedition immediately.

"The lord is really foresighted. This Liu Qi and Grand Master Liu are really a talent. With the help of this original prefect, the whole Xinye is just in order," Jia Xu said with a smile at Liu Mang.

"Oh? Brother Moran has this ability." Liu Mang didn't put many soldiers in Xinye, but only three thousand soldiers. In Jingzhou's eyes, these three thousand soldiers were full of sincerity.

Even if Jingzhou formed an alliance in Xinye, there were still 20,000 soldiers. Even if Fancheng was captured, Liu Biao did not allocate troops from Xinye, who had obtained the nearest test. This shows that Jingzhou was wary of Yangzhou.

Liu Mang now only let three thousand soldiers in Xinye suddenly felt ashamed. He was completely judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. Especially the people who Huang She originally said that Yangzhou had Yangzhou, so he would be trapped to death south of the Yangtze River. But now he let three thousand soldiers and horses go, and there is really a war. What can three thousand soldiers and horses do?

But if the official general of Jingzhou investigated the general of Yangzhou, they would find that they were cheated by Liu Mang. If any army in Yangzhou is best at fighting the defending war, then these three thousand soldiers are the ones, because his chief general is Hao Shao. This guy has no choice but tortoise like Zhuge Liang. In the first place, he could resist several times his enemies in a county in Guangzhou, but now in Xinye, it has been repaired by Jingzhou, and there is also the Yangtze River surrounding it, which is not bad compared to Chen Cang. If Jingzhou wants to break the shell of this turtle, there is no more than 50,000 cultivators who want to fight Xinye. If they want to break the city, they have to pay half of it. Once the war begins, Liu Mang will definitely increase his troops. At that time, Xinye will be a wall that blocks Jingzhou.

"Huh!" Liu Mang saw a comment on Lu Su on the case.
To be continued...
