When things reached this point, Liu Bei knew what he would face next.
So after returning to his military camp, Liu Bei summoned all his officers and military civilian personnel, held a military meeting with them, and announced to them the possible hard battle that would follow, so that they could prepare more.
Some of the subordinates were very excited and happy that they could make a contribution, while others looked worried, obviously having more other considerations.
After the meeting, Guan Yu expressed concern about the matter and went to Liu Bei to persuade him not to take risks personally or to lead troops to charge personally.
"My eldest brother always liked to take the lead in battles in the past. This can certainly boost morale, but the significance of a general is to lead and give orders, and it is the center of gravity of the entire army. Once there is a mistake, the consequences will be very serious, so eldest brother must not charge into the battle personally."
Obviously, Guan Yu understood Liu Bei's habit of taking the lead in charging and fighting. After all, they were good brothers who had fought side by side for many years.
Liu Bei smiled happily when he looked at Guan Yu, who was obviously more powerful and more majestic during this period.
"I'm very happy that Yun Chang has this intention. Don't worry, I won't be in danger myself."
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei very suspiciously.
"Really?"
"Don't you even believe your eldest brother?"
"My eldest brother has said this before, but every time he was in danger, I was very nervous every time."
"If you look at Yide, you won't be nervous. After all, I have many years of experience and am not a novice."
Liu Bei shook his head helplessly.
"Yide is like a madman on the battlefield."
Guan Yu smiled bitterly and said: "It didn't matter in the past, but today, the eldest brother is obviously different from the past. More and more people rely on the power of the eldest brother to gain a foothold in Luoyang. The status of the eldest brother is also completely different from the past. The eldest brother must Cherish yourself."
Liu Bei looked Guan Yu up and down and nodded with interest.
"Yes, Yun Chang has grown up."
Guan Yu nodded immediately.
"Even if I am in the military, I will never ignore Brother's matters, and neither will Yide."
"Hahahahahaha, very good, very good."
Liu Bei hugged Guan Yu affectionately, and then whispered: "Don't worry, Yunchang, you are the first to follow me. You have never ignored me, and I will never ignore you. I will always watch you."
Guan Yu's mood obviously rose.
"In this battle, I am willing to cut off the head of a thief general for my eldest brother!"
Liu Bei felt interesting.
"Although the thieves in Liangzhou are arrogant, they are all capable. To survive and stand out in a place like Liangzhou, being ferocious and good at fighting is a must. Is Yun Chang confident?"
"To others, they may have some abilities, but in front of me, they are just chickens and tile dogs, people who are trying to get the job done!"
Guan Yu seemed very confident.
Liu Bei liked his confidence very much.
"In that case, I will wait for Yun Chang to dedicate a thief general's head to me."
"Wei! Yu will live up to his destiny!"
Guan Yu blushed, stroked his sizable beard, and strode out of Liu Bei's tent to make preparations.
Looking at his leaving figure, Liu Bei briefly reflected on what he had done in the past period of time and found that he had indeed been slightly neglected by the group of old people who had followed him for the first time, while focusing more on the newcomers. On the body.
He takes great care of newcomers and tries to win over them, but he doesn't show much concern for the elderly. This is not the behavior a qualified leader should do. For a leader, this is dereliction of duty.
The old people who follow him also need his care and love.
When he wrote letters before, he only wrote rather disgusting love letters to Han Ning and Han Xiaodie, and then wrote letters of greetings to his father-in-law, mother-in-law and his own mother.
But besides his family, there are many people who deserve his warmth.
With this in mind, Liu Bei summoned Zhang Fei one after another, had a conversation with him, and greeted him with a warm heart. As a result, Zhang Fei's mood obviously increased.
Well, showing a warm heart from Big Brother can sometimes have a very good effect, and asking for help is sometimes as good as real money.
How can you be too lazy to do something so cheap and cost-free?
So Liu Bei decided to become the most warm-hearted man in the Han Dynasty. In addition to interests, he also used emotions to connect everyone's hearts, so as to warm everyone's hearts and increase their loyalty.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei wrote another letter to Ji Jian, who was looking after his family in Youzhou, expressing his concern for him.
After writing this letter, Liu Bei thought of Lu Zhi again, thought of Qianzhao, thought of Liu Yong and Liu Sheng, and thought of a group of subordinates who helped Lu Zhi with things, so he decided to write a letter to them all at once. , group sending thoughtful greetings from Nuan Nan.
Then he thought about Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the big dog Zhang Miao, the young old man Zheng Xuan and the senior Cai Yong, and felt that it was necessary to write to them and express their greetings.
Although politicians must avoid letting emotions interfere with rational judgment, emotion itself is also a sharp tool for politicians. If used well, it will be more effective than real money.
Liu Bei has always believed in this.
So this big man is definitely the warmest man!
After the emotional exchange is over, the rest will depend on hard power. In this regard, Liu Bei has full confidence in himself.
He's so tall and hard!
The Liangzhou soldiers are indeed fierce. Both the Liangzhou Han and Qiang people are, as Dong Huang said, passive natural warriors. Despite this, they are also human beings who can get hurt, bleed, and be afraid!
Liu Xuande has never lost to anyone in a competition to see who is more unafraid of death!
On the sixth day of September in the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Wen's first official battle since he took over as commander-in-chief was about to begin.
Zhang Wen did not completely take the initiative in this battle, because after the rebels detected the movements of the Han army, they also asked for reinforcements. A large number of rebel reinforcements arrived at the Meiyang front line, seeming to plan to fight the Han army face to face. See who's tougher.
The Liangzhou rebels seemed determined to take root in Youfufeng, and they were full of interest in this important area where the imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty were located.
Needless to say, although the Liangzhou rebels are far inferior to the regular Han army in terms of logistical capabilities and war potential, in terms of courage, they can be said to be almost fearless.
However, due to a series of internal contradictions, the Han army lacked the opportunity to fully display its strength.
And although the logistics of the Han army are stronger, no one can predict the internal losses.
No, less than a month after the army arrived in Meiyang, Liu Bei received a report from Han Hao, who helped with logistics affairs, and reported to Zhang Wen three army food managers who were stealing.
They actually established relationships with some local forces in Youfufeng in a very short period of time, expressing their willingness to sell military rations to local forces at lower prices in exchange for wealth.
Then they were even prepared to get together and run away from Jiangnan after reselling military rations in exchange for wealth.
They plan to buy properties in some places in Shuzhong or Jingzhou and live incognito.
Zhang Wen was so angry that he ordered the three men to be beheaded on the spot.
But for the local forces, it seemed that because one of the families had some relationship with the eunuchs in Luoyang City, Zhang Wen couldn't take action and could only send someone to reprimand the matter.
How long has it been since someone started stealing and selling military rations?
And the coach can’t severely punish the mastermind?
After this incident spread in the army, the soldiers talked about it a lot, and the generals in various departments also criticized it. Zhang Wen was in an embarrassing situation.
Zhang Wen threw the rat weapon, but Liu Bei didn't care about these things.
