Chapter 537: Liu Bei's new target

Li Yunfei didn't choose to make a sneak attack, because Liu Bei's camp 30 miles away constantly sent spies to observe the situation in Puyang.

Of course, the ten days of Li Yunfei's garrison resting in Puyang was actually preparing some special equipment. These days, Liu Bei never thought of launching an attack, but kept sending spies to investigate Li Yunfei's movements.

His mission is to keep Lu Bu's army from going south, so for him, it is best for Lu Bu to stay in Puyang City forever. After a month or two, he can happily bring hundreds of thousands of people with him. People and horses, it is better to find a more stable place for the development forces of Anxin. In fact, some people and horses have already been sent to find a suitable place.

Hundreds of thousands of people can do a lot of things. If they go outside the customs, on the infinitely vast land, they can even build a big empire based on this.

The Central Plains really can't survive. Originally, in the name of benevolence and righteousness, he could buy people's hearts everywhere, but now Lu Bu is doing better and more popular than him, and his strength is incomparable. So plan ahead.

Maybe it would be better to leave the Central Plains and look for other development opportunities outside the customs. Liu Bei, who was thinking hard about the future, finally made up his mind and left the Central Plains. The land outside the customs is extremely vast, but the most suitable place for development is the Yulou area in the east of Liaodong, north of Fuyu. The reason Liu Bei knew about it was because some of the soldiers sent by Gongsun Kang came from there, and they received considerable rewards. much information.

The area there is vast, the population is not small, and the products are quite rich, but the people there are still in the barbaric era of slash-and-burn farming, and the people are also very savage, but now I am a strong soldier, if you bring tens of thousands of elite soldiers, first occupy a piece The development of local peace of mind is always not difficult, and then find a way to sinicize those barbarians and gradually open up the wisdom of the people.

It may be very hard to do this for the first few years, but as long as you have the foundation of your life, everything is worth it. It only takes ten or eight years of stable development to build an ideal kingdom that is completely yours...

"Come here, go and call the second and third brothers and General Zilong to come to the meeting quickly..." After Liu Bei communicated, he suddenly felt like he was seeing the sky, and he immediately called for a few confidants to have a meeting.

...

After more than ten days of rest, Li Yunfei finally led more than 100,000 horses toward Liu Bei's camp, which was more than 30 miles away. However, just as Li Yunfei's troops left the city, Liu Bei's army also moved.

He has already thought about going to develop outside the customs. Of course, he will not be in contact with Li Yunfei's army, but he is still a trustworthy man. Li Yunfei's army kept their distance.

Here they advance 20 miles and then retreat 20 miles. They set up camp here to make rice, and they also began to make rice. Anyway, they kept sending spies to observe the movements of Li Yunfei’s army from a distance. It was really far away. Look at it from a distance and run away, but Li Yunfei has a chance to catch someone.

When Li Yunfei moved, they moved, and when Li Yunfei stopped, they stopped. When Li Yunfei reversed his route, they would follow silently, but they always kept a distance of more than 30 miles.

It's not an option to always have a troop staring at it, and it won't work if you don't care about it at all, so you have to find a way to defeat Liu Bei's troops.

"Hu Yi, now it's up to you to lead the army slowly forward, and I'll quietly outflank a group of cavalry..."

"This matter is absolutely impossible, my lord, let the commander lead the cavalry to outflank it!" Hu Yi immediately became anxious when he heard that Li Yunfei was going to take the risk in person. Apologize with death.

"...Also, you can bring 30,000 cavalry, 300 field crossbows, and 3,000 explosive arrows. Take advantage of the night to leave the team first, and then outflank the past. If you successfully intercept their troops, don't be brave and charge directly. , set up a crossbow on the spot and greet them with bursting arrows... They are all descendants of Yan and Huang, so you don't need to kill more, as long as they don't charge you, all you have to do is to disperse their team, and then bluff them..." Since Someone did it for him, and Li Yunfei was happy too. However, this outflanking was a technical job, and the loss would be reduced if the fight was clumsy, so he deliberately explained it. As for how to do it, it was up to Hu Yi to make his own decision.

Of course, people today have not seen the explosion arrow. The loud noise like thunder in the sky can scare people to death. Facing the fear of unknown things, Liu Bei’s group of gangsters, etc., all of a sudden, suddenly Under such a pre-emptive attack, it will inevitably collapse.

After the collapse, he also launched a charge. It is absolutely impossible for Liu Bei to gather the collapsed soldiers again. He only needs to rush up to catch the prisoners. All Liu Bei can do is run as far as he wants. Of course, he can also choose It's not that he underestimated him, but he can only be wiped out by the whole army.

"No!" Hu Yi excitedly went back to make arrangements.

"...My lord, the students also want to lead the army!" Thirty-six felt a little envious when he saw Hu Yi leading the army out on the expedition. Thirty-six hesitated for a long time, and finally expressed his thoughts.

In principle, following the lord is a close minister, naturally there are many benefits, and in the future, he will be able to become a high-ranking official with ease, but he is a young man after all, and he still wants to go out for a while and establish Merit...

"Thirty-six, you can only lead the troops from the captain, you can think clearly!"

"Yes, the students have figured it out, and please ask the lord to fulfill!"

"Well, according to reliable information, there are only less than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city of Ye, and the food and grass are seriously insufficient. Most of the people in the city have already turned to our army, and those defenders have no morale. It can be said, now I am ordering you to lead 6,000 elite soldiers to take down Ye City first." Li Yunfei gave an order directly, which is actually a credit in disguised form. If he can't win there smoothly, it really only shows that he is really not suitable for leading troops.

In other words, Yecheng was originally quite prosperous, and it was Yuan Shao’s old nest, but Yuan Shao suddenly died, but he did not choose an heir, so the three sons fought fiercely for the position of inheritance, so many here People began to flee to the south one after another a few months ago. And some of the soldiers brought by Thirty-Six were from Yecheng, so it would make it a little less difficult to occupy there.

"Thank you, my lord, the commander of the last commander!" Six thousand soldiers and horses are the highest standard of a strong brigade. In the next step, they are the level of generals, and the difficulty of this task is extremely low, which is equivalent to giving credit in disguised form. It really didn't work for half a year.

"...You bring some more food and grass over there. When you get there, don't rush to attack, make good use of the situation, it is best to directly press the defending army to open the city to surrender!" Li Yunfei explained again carefully.

"Understood, thank you lord for your guidance!"

"You have to keep in mind military discipline. If you let me know that you have done something illegal, I can't spare you..."

"I will understand at the end. I have been with the Lord for a long time, and I will naturally understand the importance of discipline."

"Well, let's go!"

"I will retire at the end of the day!" Thirty-six finally left. This personal guard, who has been with him for nearly a year, is the last one of the first batch of students to go out and make a career I originally wanted to train him He became a managerial talent, but he did not expect to become a general.

After sending Thirty-six to collect Yecheng, he sent several generals to lead troops to capture other counties. Li Yunfei decided to capture all nine counties in Yizhou first while chasing Liu Bei's army. . As for whether he could hold on, in fact, Li Yunfei never thought that the group of coalition forces that had gone south would have a chance to come back.

Xu Shu had already opened a huge pocket and put all the coalition troops in, but the group of people didn't know that they were in danger. Home, occupying more than ten cities in a row, the vanguard has already approached Xuzhou, under such a good situation, there will still be stagnant, and if you go late, the benefits will be taken away by others.

They really thought that Li Yunfei's old nest was very empty, the main troops went to the south and the north respectively, while Liu Bei in the north was very competitive, and successfully entangled Li Yunfei's main force and could not go south.

In fact, after Xuzhou's emergency recruitment order was issued, more than 500,000 elite soldiers were gathered a few days ago. In addition to the original 200,000 standing troops, the total number of troops near Xuzhou is now more than 800,000. These are not false numbers, the number is almost double that of the Northern Alliance, and it also takes advantage of the geographical advantage and people, and it is just trivial to completely wipe out the incoming enemy...
