Gongsun Zhu looked at Liu Bei in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he simply shook his head helplessly and laughed.
"Captain Gongsun, what are you laughing at?" Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zhu's smile. Although he knew it was not mocking him, he felt something inappropriate in his heart for a moment.
He couldn't help but frown at Gongsun Zhu, and his words became a little... fierce.
In this regard, Gongsun Zhu didn't say much.
I just tried to persuade Liu Bei very seriously.
"Brother Xuande, the cavalry is not as good as the infantry, and it is also the Qiang and Hu cavalry and the yellow turban bandits. These are incomparable existences.
You have to know that some of the methods we used to deal with the Yellow Turban bandits may not be enough to face the troops of the Qiang and Hu bandits in this northwest land.
you want...."
"Azhu, if you say so, you are looking down on our brothers too much!"
Liu Bei actually interrupted Gongsun Zhu's words this time, and his expression instantly turned ugly.
It looked as if he had been insulted.
Liu Bei did have the capital to be arrogant at this time. Not to mention his own ability, it was this time's battle against the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion.
He and his two sworn brothers are also recognized by all parties.
Even Gongsun Zhu himself often said that if it were not for the bravery of Zhang and Zhang in front of him, he would never have achieved such military exploits and achievements.
Huangfu Song even said that their future would be limitless.
Even though Liu Bei is a person who keeps his emotions and anger secret, but now when facing these things, he still can't help but feel proud.
Even though he has suffered many blows recently, these are nothing more than his official career for him.
It was the blow given to him by the court, not his own lack of ability!
In fact, Gongsun Zhu has also discovered this.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhuming knew that Liu Bei could not hear these words, but he still said so.
Just to mobilize all Liu Bei's energy.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Gongsun Zhu also sighed appropriately and stopped arguing with the other party as if he didn't want to say more.
Then he led the army forward.
The army moves forward.... This order seems to be no different from before.
But now it makes Liu Bei feel extremely aggrieved.
Along the way, Liu Bei had been looking for opportunities to prove himself, so after the "dispute" with Gongsun Zhu, Liu Bei was also simmering with anger.
At this time, Liu Bei was almost rushing on his way in a rapid march!
In this state, Liu Bei and his soldiers... no, it should be said that the main army under Gongsun Zhu finally entered Huaili City before the Qiang and Hu arrived.
Entering Huaili City was also their mission and responsibility, and it was also a plan to prevent the Qiang and Hu who had bypassed the main force of the Han army and entered the land of Sanfu from continuing to penetrate deeper.
Gongsun Zhu followed closely behind and immediately revealed his identity to the guard of Huaili City.
Although his identity is not considered a big figure in the entire northwest, Gongsun Zhu represents Huangfu Song after all.
Huangfu Song represented the imperial court.
So whether he likes it or not, the guard must let Gongsun Zhu take over the city defense!
And Gongsun Zhu didn't mean to be polite at all.
He didn't even plan to have any friendship with Huaili Ling and You Fufeng, so he immediately started making arrangements of his own.
To put it simply, just like the previous defense line in the city, local corvee laborers were directly deployed to build a defense line in Huaili and even Maoling.
Build simple docks and camps, and use the terrain to set up checkpoints.
The numerous Jumalu villages and simple beacon towers just appeared on the land of Fufeng.
Just doing this is not enough. Gongsun Zhu's purpose is not only to win this battle, but also to let Liu Bei know that he cannot break away from himself.
So after arranging all this, Gongsun Zhu made another suggestion.
"Now that the Qiang and Hu are coming, a certain family plans to build a military camp between the two mountains in the remaining Qinling Mountains!
If this is possible, we can use the step-by-step method to directly withdraw from this line of defense.
It can even directly block the incoming Beigong Boyu. "
There is nothing wrong with this strategy, if Beigong Boyu's speed is ignored.
Of course, this task naturally fell on Liu Bei, because he indeed ignored Beigong Boyu's speed.
As a result, he even thought that he was going to easily block the opponent's "small group" of cavalry, and then pursue them in reverse.
Gongsun Zhu had no intention of reminding him. Even after Liu Bei left, Tian Chou discovered the problem.
They came to Gongsun Zhu and asked Gongsun Zhu why he did this and whether they needed to be wary of Liu Bei...
However, Gongsun Zhu directly interrupted his idea.
There is only one reason for Gongsun Zhu to do this, and that is to tell the soldiers who followed him here with reality that death here is a matter of seconds.
If you want to survive, you have to follow him closely.
As for the larger purpose, he needs to let Liu Bei buy him time, so that he can make Liu Bei understand the reality and prepare for his next line of defense.
Building such a long line of defense cannot be done in a day or two.
With the virtue of the imperial court, who knows how long I can survive if this line of defense fails and the group of Qiang and Hu really trample on the imperial mausoleum, if the imperial court blames me?
With this purpose in mind, Gongsun Zhu personally sent Liu Bei away, and Beigong Boyu did not disappoint Gongsun Zhu.
This guy's speed was slower than he expected, but not by much.
It can be said that in the early morning of the third day after Liu Bei arrived at the designated place, he appeared with his troops...
After the Qiang and Hu scouts appeared, Liu Bei was instantly moved to his heart.
While he was surprised that the scout didn't send back the news, he also immediately ordered the army to form a formation and be sure to guard and not give the opponent a chance to sneak attack.
At the same time, he is also asking the rear to step up the construction of his own camp defense, hoping to use the camp defense to change something.
But what Liu Bei and others did not expect was that under such intense precautions, these Qiang and Hu men did not take action.
In other words... they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them. Instead, they just looked at them, as if Liu Bei and the others were doing something interesting.
This action and this situation made Liu Bei feel that there was something wrong, and even felt a little weird.
But now, even if he feels something is wrong, he has no better way.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired!
