"Send troops to attack Jizhou? Hahaha, Wenruo, are you kidding?"

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he immediately aroused Wang Yun's ridicule.

Not to mention anything else, Jizhou is where Liu Zheng led the army and went. If Liu Bei also interfered, wouldn't the melee have begun?

Not to mention, Liu Zheng mobilized tens of thousands of troops to Jizhou. If Liu Bei wanted to get a share of the pie, how many troops would he need.

Just Liu Zheng's men were stationed here, which was enough for Liu Bei to avoid the edge for the time being. It would be better to choose to attack other places.

Wang Yun thought of this and immediately started to mock him after Xun Yu expressed this idea.

Liu Bei, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others were probably thinking the same as Wang Yun thought, but their relationship with Xun Yu was pretty good and they didn't say anything to question.

But they all looked at Xun Yu, waiting for Xun Yu to answer Wang Yun's questions, and at the same time answered the doubts in his heart.

Liu Bei looked at Xun Yu and didn't quite understand why Xun Yu said that.

"Wenruo, why do you say that? But what are your opinions?"

Xun Yu raised his hand, took a step forward, held his chin, and whispered.

"Mr. Liu, our army is already short of food and grass. Even if we can collect some food and grass temporarily, it will definitely not be able to support the needs of more than 100,000 troops in the first war. Therefore, even if we want to send troops, we will definitely need to send elite troops."

"Sending troops is about the essence, not the many. Since we can only dispatch small groups of soldiers, then we will try our best to choose cavalry, so that we can be more mobile and can also give Liu Zheng the biggest blow!"

Xun Yu did not say why he sent troops to Jizhou, but explained to Liu Bei how to send troops.

When I said this, a few people were there and I understood a little.

Jia Xu stood beside Xun Yu. After hearing Xun Yu's words, he nodded immediately, but he was not good at speaking and did not like to speak.

When everyone asked him, he was a transparent man and hardly spoke.

Liu Bei nodded after Xun Yu finished speaking.

I quite agree with Xun Yu's words.

"Wen Ruo said a lot. Even if we want to send 100,000 troops, we will not be able to draw so many troops for the time being. After all, the Yellow Turban thieves in Bingzhou still have to be put away."

"Since we chose to launch a surprise army and caused some trouble to Liu Zheng, we can only send some cavalry out. Currently, we have 30,000 cavalry, and 20,000 are the cavalry we recently purchased from the Huns and trained. They are commanded by General Zhao Yun."

"There are 10,000 people, and the war horses drawn from Xiliang were commanded by General Ma Chao. With these two men commanding the army, it should be no problem to attack Liu Zheng."

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Bei summarized the elite troops that could be mobilized now after Xun Yu's words.

"What Mr. Liu said is exactly what I thought. If we only mobilize 30,000 cavalry, we will not need so much food and grass. Moreover, the cavalry's ability is very strong, which can cause great interference to Liu Zheng."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I think the reason for sending troops to Jizhou, not other states is that we do not want to bring back the territory occupied by Liu Zheng. Our purpose is to interfere with Liu Zheng's attack on Yuan Xi in the north."

"As long as we have 30,000 troops stationed in Jizhou, Liu Zheng's troops will definitely not dare to move around. If he attacks Yuan Xi with all his might, we will attack his rear. Liu Zheng has not many cavalry and will not be an opponent of our army at all."

"If we don't attack Yuan Xi and Liu Zheng turns to attack us, we will let the cavalry retreat. Even 30,000 cavalrymen will not be able to chase Liu Zheng's men."

"If Liu Zheng did not fight, but just spent money in Jizhou, we would not be afraid. We only had 30,000 people, but Liu Zheng mobilized several times our troops and horses, and their food and grass consumption was much greater than ours."

"If you delay, it will only benefit us, but not any harm."

"After a long time, our rest and recuperation came back, but Liu Zheng was in a situation of shortage of food. Then we will gather our strength to encircle Liu Zheng."

Xun Yu explained his plan in detail. Wang Yun, who had already had great doubts, immediately shut up.

Not only Wang Yun, but also a few others, understood Xun Yu’s plan.

"Wenruo, it's so wonderful, this plan is very wonderful."

"Yes, we don't need to dispatch too many troops to restrain Liu Zheng's tens of thousands of troops. This plan is OK!"

Cheng Yu and Xun You both immediately gave Xun Yu a high degree of approval.

In fact, they didn't expect Xun Yu's plan, but at the beginning, they were all led by Liu Bei.

Thinking of attacking Liu Zheng with all his strength, he completely ignored the others.

Xun Yu's plan was not mainly attacking, but mainly restraining Liu Zheng so that Liu Bei's troops could rest and recuperate during this period.

It is March and April now, and it only takes half a year to delay. After the autumn harvest and the first batch of grain and grass harvest, Liu Bei's subordinates had enough grain and grass.

He could start the war again, but at that time, Liu Zheng was busy with the war in the north, consumed a lot, and there might be a dilemma of food and grass shortage.

It was an excellent plan for Liu Bei, and it was not a loss to both sides.

"This plan is very good. Wenruo, you have to worry."

"Then follow what Wen Ruo said, go down and prepare. There is not much time left. I immediately sent an order to order General Ma Chao and General Zhao Yun to come to see me."

After Liu Bei and the advisers discussed it, he immediately ordered his generals to come and meet.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun hurried to Liu Bei's mansion.

After learning that he was going to lead a large army to deal with Liu Zheng, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao seemed extremely excited.

Ma Chao was excited because he was young and could fight against a hero like Liu Zheng at that time. After all, under Liu Zheng, Lu Bu was the strongest general in the world.

Ma Chao has always wanted to fight with Lu Bu to enhance his fame.

But there is no chance, now I finally have a chance.

Zhao Yun was excited this time, and he could finally avenge his former leader, Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan died under Liu Zheng's hands. Although it was not killed by Liu Zheng, it was because of Liu Zheng. Zhao Yun has always cared about this hatred.

After getting this opportunity, Zhao Yun naturally needs to seize it.

After Zhao Yun and Ma Chao took the order, they went directly to the military camp, mobilized 30,000 troops, and headed straight for Hulao Pass.
