Chapter 1552 Dilemma


    ??The winter sun looks dazzling, but in fact it looks like a slut, hanging feebly in the sky, like an office director who has been eight years old and has signed a long-term contract. He is not without enthusiasm, but without passion.


    Liu Li sat under a tree, letting the sun shine on his face, but Liu Li still felt very cold and chilled from the bottom of his heart.


    hehe.


    ??I, Liu Li, Liu Jingguo, how could such a day happen...


    Liu Li closed his eyes and felt that his mouth was astringent and bitter, and he couldn''t tell what it felt like.


    A scene emerged in Liu Li''s mind.


    Yellow sky, **** land, howling wind.


    ??The three-color war flag flutters in the wind above the Yin Mountain.


    General Zhengxi stands under the three-color war flag. The yellow sand is flying on the ground, and the figure is looming, and the eyes are like a dream.


    At that time, Fei Qian, who was still leading the position of Zhonglang General, stood proudly on the Yinshan Mountain: "When I led the troops to the north, if the soldiers and generals did not work together, if there were no singles to help, and if there were no support from the elders in Bingzhou, there would be no glory today!" If I wish to express my congratulations, it should be for the brothers and sisters who have fought hard and wounded along the way, for the people in the north of Bingzhou who have been devastated by the Xianbei, for your concerted efforts, for the thousands of miles of China, and for the glorious man!"


    ?Liu Li still feels his blood boiling when he thinks of it.


    The next moment.


    The gray sky, the black land, and the same howling wind.


    ?The long and winding queue seems to be long worms struggling to survive in the yellow sand.


    Liu Bei had just been defeated at that time and was homeless. The army was in panic all day long, but Liu Bei still had a bright smile and a clear voice: "If we go to one place with our hearts and our efforts, even if the land is full of thorns, we can still find a place of peace of mind." ! If you live up to your expectations today, you will live up to your expectations tomorrow! Look forward! As long as you don’t lower your head, you can still see the whole world!"


    At that moment, Liu Bei''s smile was still bright and bright, with the innocence of a child. People seemed to feel warmth and hope when they saw it, just like Liu Bei''s smile when he first met Liu Li. , still exactly the same.


    Liu Li still remembers what kind of warmth he could feel.


    The two pictures collided suddenly, turning into a sky full of fire...


    Liu Li covered his face with his hands in pain, feeling that his heart was like dust in the strong wind, always floating in the air, never feeling at ease.


    ?Who can tell me what should I do?


    ??I returned to General Zhengxi''s side, but I didn''t feel relieved. Even Liu Li had trouble controlling and concealing this mood. How could someone as smart as General Zhengxi not notice it? However, General Zhengxi still did not transfer my troops, and even treated them equally...


    The small bamboo tube in his arms was like a piece of red-hot charcoal, burning and making Liu Li very uncomfortable.


    In the bamboo tube is the defense plan of General Fei Qian''s camp.


    The camp of Fei Qian, the general who conquers the west, is twenty-five miles away from Qixian County. And twenty-five miles is a quite embarrassing distance. It seems to be just a little more than the normal ten or fifteen miles. If the value on the book falls into reality, the soldiers will have to walk for an extra hour or two, regardless of the impact on the soldiers'' physical consumption. He said that if he couldn''t conquer it and wanted to turn back to Qixian, and then encounter Zhang Liao''s more than 600 cavalry flanking attack, the extra ten miles would become a nightmare.


    Therefore, unless you have a complete grasp of the opponent''s movements and are certain of winning, as an infantry commander, you will not leave the camp easily.


    As Liu Bei, what he naturally hopes to get the most is the composition of Fei Qian''s troops, the distribution of his camps, and the most critical defense settings, just like the defense map of Qixian County provided by Liu Li to Fei Qian.


    With an accurate defense plan, we can make targeted adjustments, control the speed and distance of the army''s march, and effectively maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, so that the soldiers can immediately launch an attack after reaching an effective point, while at the same time protecting the opponent''s defense. There are also corresponding plans for mobilization, which will naturally increase the winning rate a lot.


    But, do we really have to hand over this defense map?


    ? General Fei Qian, who conquered the West, had righteousness, pacified Baibo, expelled Xianbei, and recovered Yinshan. Which one of them was not the righteousness of the family and the country?


    How can those who violate righteousness stand in heaven and earth?


    But General Liu Bei of the Left is kind. In the past few years, not to mention Liu Bei, even the second general and the third general have taken good care of him. He has also been kind to pass on his skills. Bit by bit, he has poured into his heart. How can he forget it?


    How can an ungrateful person be seen in the world?


    One side is righteousness, the other side is kindness. Liu Li was already bursting into tears before he knew it...


    ……………………


    郪 County.


    Seeing another wave of scouts, Guan Yu retreated in embarrassment, and his two eyebrows were almost connected together.


    "Don''t be upset, just go on and rest!"


    ? ? Guan Yu seemed to have an arrogant and even cold attitude towards the nobles, but he was very kind to the ordinary soldiers. After asking about the situation of the reconnaissance, he gently ordered the scouts to go down and rest.


    In the past few days, the scouts have suffered severe losses.


    The key point is that Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, used some magic method to hide his soldiers in the trees and grass, making them invisible from the beginning. Liu Bei''s scouts suffered a big loss from the beginning.


    ??Although some of Liu Bei''s scouts later escaped and came back and explained some situations, the problem is that these scouts may not be able to clearly describe the disguise of the expedition to the west. Even if they can describe it, others who have not seen it still have no corresponding concepts...


    People who understand the chicken-eating game’s auspicious suits will naturally have a concept, but it is naturally quite difficult to explain it to a person who has never been exposed to the chicken-eating game and has never seen any auspicious suits.


    What?


    Draw it out?


    Haha, friends who have this idea may wish to draw it themselves, and then show it to someone who doesn’t know about ghillie suits and give it a try first...


    "Brother, our scouts have suffered a lot of losses in recent days..." Guan Yu came to the Qixian Hall and saw Liu Bei. He raised his hands and said, "If this continues, I''m afraid..."


    Liu Bei lowered his head and did not notice Guan Yu''s arrival. He was concentrating on looking at the map, as if he wanted to see the flowers on the map, so he did not immediately respond to Guan Yu''s question. "Brother..." Guan Yu called softly again.


    "Ah? What did the second brother just say?" Liu Bei seemed to have come back from his meditation. He raised his head and felt that his neck was a little sore. He couldn''t help but stretched out his hands and kneaded it a few times to relax his muscles before vomiting. He took a breath and said, "Oh... Scout... this General Zhengxi... is indeed well-deserved..."


    Hearing this, Guan Yu immediately narrowed his eyes. He brushed his long beard.


    Liu Bei was as familiar with Guan Yu as he knew the palm of his hand. When he saw Guan Yu''s demeanor, he knew that although Guan Yu didn''t say anything, he must still be a little arrogant and disobedient, so he simply clicked on the map and said: "Two Brother, it’s true that it’s not me who emits other people’s ambitions and destroys my own prestige, come on, come and see…”


    "In the past few days, our scouts can probably only reach almost here..." Liu Bei drew a vague line outside Qixian County, about twenty miles away, "However, it is extremely difficult to move forward... Second brother, do you know why this is?"


    "There are many people who talk about demon magic, but from a certain point of view..." Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "There is no demon magic, it''s just that there are more elites during the Conquest of the West..." Back then, the Yellow Turban Thieves also had demon magic and supernatural powers. Yes, wasn''t it also chopped with one knife? The invulnerable Yellow Turban warriors are actually some relatively elite and well-equipped Yellow Turban thieves. Presumably, the current situation encountered by scouts is similar.


    Liu Bei nodded with a smile and said, "This is one, but is there another?"


    "Second?" Guan Yu opened his eyes slightly, looked at the map again, pondered for a moment, and said, "Could it be...this distance..."


    "Exactly! The second brother is really talented! Ordinary people will never notice this difference..." Liu Bei praised Guan Yu''s speculation and continued, "Ordinary scouts, unless otherwise stated, twenty-three Ten miles is a constant. If it is forty or fifty miles, it basically takes one round trip per day... and the main camp of the Western Expedition is twenty miles away, so our scouts came here from Li County..."


    Liu Bei pointed to the line of twenty miles and continued: "...Human power consumes less than half of the horse power, but in comparison, the Zhengxi people and horses only walked this distance..." Liu Bei made a gesture on the map, " In this way, Zhengxi''s scouts consume little money and can wait for work... It is not surprising that the scouts failed... But we have to investigate... Zhengxi is good at strategy, and with his reputation, he is a real man... "


    ??In the age of cold weapons, physical strength is the key factor. Even Guan Yu, if his physical strength is exhausted, he will be like a **** skin. Maybe the soldier in the sentry tower will throw a trip horse and fall.


    "The little thief who conquered the west is indeed cunning!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, "That being the case, brother, why... Well, there has been no news from Liu Jingguo for many days, could it be..."


    "My worthy brother Jing Guo has a square face and a kind heart. He will live up to me..." Liu Bei lowered his head and looked at the map. He interrupted before Guan Yu finished speaking.


    When Guan Yu heard this, his eyes flickered, he glanced at Liu Bei, then narrowed his eyes again, and focused his eyes on the map...


    ……………


    The camp of General Zhengxi.


    Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, was also looking at the map, but his map was larger than Liu Bei''s, covering not just the Sichuan and Shu regions, but the whole of China.


    ?Although Fei Qian came with his troops, he actually had no intention of directly attacking Qi County.


    Normally, to conquer a city, you need to clear out all the troops in the city before you can effectively carry out siege operations. In other words, if Fei Qian wants to attack Qixian, you must first defeat Qixian. Only after the large camps on the left and right wings of the county have been captured and taken down can we confidently and boldly besiege Qixian County.


    The two camps on the left and right of Qixian County were first built with all their strength under Pang Xi, and then repaired and organized under Guan Yu. Even with the defense plans brought by Liu Li, it was not something that could be conquered.


    Even if you use gunpowder to blow open the camp gate, you may not be able to win immediately. The simplest way to deal with it is to dig a big hole inside the camp gate and put wooden boards on it. Normally, there will be no problem with the soldiers coming and going inside the camp, but the soldiers rushing in from the outside will definitely not know...


    So, for Fei Qian, it is better not to attack the fortress if he can.


    Of course, the same is true for Liu Bei. No one is a fool. He would give up his own advantages and then be beaten into a white dragon fish suit by others. No matter how **** the **** is, he would not be so ignorant and clinging to his crotch...


    Therefore, as long as the army is dispatched, whether it is Fei Qian himself or Liu Bei''s opponent, they will definitely be dispatched when they judge that they can occupy a certain advantage and have a relatively high winning rate, and will not launch attacks at will and consume their own strength.


    Just like in Wuzhangyuan, when the two sides are almost equal in strength, even Brother Zhu can only send a woman''s clothes to express his indignation, and there is nothing else he can do...


    To be honest, Fei Qian really hopes to lure Liu Bei out for another fight. After all, when it comes to the ability of his soldiers in frontal combat in the wild, Fei Qian is quite confident. In such an era of cold weapons, our equipment is better than Liu Bei''s, our soldiers are better trained than Liu Bei, and our logistics treatment is more expensive than Liu Bei''s. Bah, it''s better. If it''s a head-on confrontation in the field, naturally it''s Occupy certain advantages.


    Moreover, Fei Qian is out of the protection range of Guanghan. For Liu Bei, it also enhances Liu Bei''s temptation. After all, for Liu Bei, if Fei Qian is captured and killed here, then the overall situation in Sichuan will basically mean that he can be killed immediately. Certainly.


    Although for Fei Qian himself, he still has the upper hand by staying in Guanghan and procrastinating, and no matter how Liu Bei operates in Sichuan, there is always a chance that the hidden dangers Fei Qian has buried will explode. But the problem is that Liu Bei can only focus on The war situation in Sichuan and Shu, but for Fei Qian, he had to consider everything.


    Let’s not talk about the changes in Jizhou and Yanzhou. I received news from Longyou a few days ago that Lu Bulu and Lu Fengxian went through many investigations and even annihilated three related Hu tribes, and finally found the person who had previously intercepted and killed Bai Que. According to the traces of the group of horse thieves, Li Ru''s letter stated that Lu Bu had led his men and horses to the place where the group of horse thieves were hiding...


    If Longyou can be pacified, then Lu Bu''s family in Taiyuan will have to be escorted to the Hexi Corridor. Some civilian and military personnel will also be arranged, and trade routes will be established with foreign countries scattered throughout Hexi. Then use these guys to see if you can get some items that the big man doesn''t have.


    ?At the same time, what is the current state of Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian? With Li Ru here, there is naturally no problem, but Li Ru''s body... is also a small and medium-sized hidden danger...


    On the other hand, the conflict between the Wuhuan and Xianbei people in the far north of Yinshan Mountain is also getting bigger and bigger. On the one hand, it is because Liu Yu’s son Liu He and his brothers of salted meat and fish, ahem, Yan Rou Xianyu brothers and others are involved in it. On the other hand, the weather is getting colder and the pastures are shrinking. Anyway, the war is about to break out...


    In addition, news has also come from Jingzhou that Liu Biao seems to be in serious health problems. If Liu Biao really can''t survive for long, then should Jingxiang''s territory be dealt with, or should he elect an agent, or... By Wong…


    ?These things must be considered and dealt with. Therefore, the surrounding environment has changed, which makes Fei Qian naturally hope that the battle in Sichuan and Shu can end earlier and take action earlier to deal with other problems.


    ?Of course, the most important thing is not what Fei Qian wants, it still depends on whether Liu Bei cooperates...


    ??The sound of clanking armor scales came along with the sound of footsteps, and the soldiers on guard duty outside the tent shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! General Zhang asks for an audience!"


    Is this finally a new change?


    Fei Qian put down the map in his hand and said loudly: "Please!"


    After a while, the curtain of the Chinese army''s tent was raised, and Zhang Liao walked in. He raised his hands and said, "It''s just as my lord expected..."
