The battle with Sun Jian's new field seven days later will be the first battle in Liu Qi's rebirth in the Three Kingdoms. He must not be careless and must only succeed but not fail. Liu Qi weighed the three strategies discussed by the soldiers to meet the enemy.
He believed that Jiang Wan's proposal to ask for help from General Wenpin, the governor of Nanyang County, was inappropriate. The main reason was that Liu Qi had not visited Wenpin in the year since he came to Xinye due to various affairs. Now that the war was coming, he asked for help because Wenpin's son Wendai was threatening him in Xinye.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qi would not send Wen Dai to ask Wenpin for reinforcements unless it was absolutely necessary.
Regarding Chen Wen and Chen Wu's proposal to bring troops to the border of Xinye to fight against the enemy, they would have extended the war to other counties without caring about the lives of others. Regardless of whether the battle was won or lost, it would have an adverse impact on Liu Qi's future reputation.
It seems that only Zhao Yun proposed that it is more feasible to confront Sun Jian directly outside the gate of Xinye City. Liu Qi knew that in the era of cold weapons, the main battle was the martial arts of the generals and subordinates. Defeating the thieves first and the kings had been the magic weapon for winning wars in all dynasties. If he wanted to change
The current situation is that in the confrontation with Sun Jian's regular troops outside the city, if Sun Jian can be killed alive, his 20,000 troops will naturally be defeated.
Liu Qi basically decided to adopt Zhao Yun's strategy and pulled out 12,000 troops outside Xinye City to confront Sun Jian's 20,000 troops. It was not a problem to overthrow Sun Jian with a silver spear from the ever-victorious general Zhao Zilong. However,
, Zhao Yun's silver spear was lost in the battle with Gongsun Zan in Yecheng. It was just an iron spear. Presumably the iron spear could also bring out Zhao Yun's majesty.
Chen Wu was impatient. When he saw Liu Qi pondering for a long time without saying a word, he became anxious and shouted: "My lord, there is only one Sun Po prisoner. There is nothing to be afraid of. Give me two thousand elite soldiers to rush through the new field and kill him."
He personally fell on his back."
Jiang Wan waved his hands repeatedly: "My lord, the impact of killing the enemy on the border will not be good, so it is better to ask General Wenpin for help." Apparently, Jiang Wan had also thought of what Liu Qi could think of.
Zhao Yun did not argue, no matter what decision Liu Qi made, as long as Zhao Yun had troops and could fight on the battlefield, the person in the world who could convince Zhao Yun the most was Liu Qi.
While Liu Qi was deep in thought, he calculated the chronology of Sun Jian's attack on Jingzhou recorded in history, and found that the time was wrong. According to authoritative historical records, it should be this time in 192 AD when Sun Jian invaded Jingzhou, but this time was June 191 AD.
It's a full year in advance. There must be some mystery in it. Historical records are generally not wrong about major historical events.
So what factors made Yuan Shu send Sun Jian a year in advance to attack Jingzhou? This still needs to be solved after confronting Sun Jian.
"Okay, General Wu will lead 2,000 elite troops to the border of Xinye to stop the enemy. They will only be defeated but not victorious. We will lead Sun Jian's 20,000 troops to fight outside Xinye City." Liu Qi could not think more and was beaten by Chen Wu's shouts.
The train of thought has stopped and it’s time to make a decision.
Chen Wu was stunned for a moment: "Lord, I have never been defeated in a battle like this."
Liu Qi chuckled and pulled out a command arrow: "General Wu has never been defeated in a battle, do you understand the principle of turning defeat into victory?" He said, his face darkened, "General Wu, listen to orders."
Chen Wu responded resoundingly: "Yes"
Liu Qi threw the command arrow to Chen Wu coolly and said: "I ask you to quickly dispatch two thousand troops and horses to the border of Xinye, wait for Sun Polu, and retreat to the main city of Xinye while fighting. This is a great achievement."
"Yes." Chen Wu straightened his chest and stepped forward, took the order arrow and walked out of the tent. Although he was unwilling to deliberately defeat, since Liu Qi gave the order, he readily accepted it. Chen Wu never dared to doubt Liu Qi's military tactics.
, being able to send oneself out to take the lead, even though it was a "defeating" formation, was also the high opinion the eldest son had of Chen Wu.
"General Zilong, listen to the order." Liu Qi took out another order arrow.
Zhao Yun came out of the queue and shouted like a bell: "Here."
Liu Qi looked serious: "Order the general to conduct emergency drills with 10,000 troops and horses, and confront Sun Jian in the main city of Xinye in seven days to demonstrate the military might of the Han Dynasty."
"Yes." Zhao Yun calmly took the command arrow and walked out of the military tent calmly. He felt excited that Liu Qi had adopted his suggestion. The opportunity to become famous in a battle had come!
When Jiang Wan waited for Zhao Yun and Chen Wu to walk out of the meeting tent, he said with concern: "My lord, if twenty thousand versus ten thousand really fight, blood will flow into a river outside the city, and both sides will be hurt."
Liu Qi waved his hand to prevent Jiang Wan from talking anymore, and said with emotion: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it is spent in a moment. Sooner or later, the Xinye soldiers and horses will see a bloody battle. This time is when our Xinye soldiers are making a name for themselves. All the soldiers must be here."
In just seven days, we polished our guns and sharpened our swords, inspiring high morale and looking forward to a battle."
Liu Qi stood up and left his seat, saying that there was no need to discuss it any further. To be reborn in the Three Kingdoms, he and Sun Jian really needed to have a face-to-face confrontation. Only in this way could the world know that Liu Qi was not only supported by all the people, but also had an extremely powerful army.
Liu Qi spoke and left each other to prepare for the battle in seven days. Zhao Yun was also busy mobilizing his troops and arranging their troops.
Jiang Wan issued a message that all officials and people in Xinye should prepare for war and enter the first level of combat readiness. Food, grass, supplies, logistics support, troop mobilization, replacement, etc. are all assigned special personnel. During the war preparation period, it is strictly forbidden to move people out. During the busy farming season, harvesting cannot be delayed. All vegetation and trees are covered with soldiers.
.
Liu Qi asked Huang Wudie's 100 special female soldiers to set up a wartime medical team. Huang Wudie and Huan'er were responsible for treating the wounded soldiers. Herbal medicines, bandages, hemostatic drugs, nutrients and field hospitals were all being urgently planned.
Chen Wen also made preparations for both battles and defenses, and actively participated in Zhao Yun's troop formations to improve his tacit understanding of coordinated operations with Zhao Yun when he faced off against Sun Jian.
What Liu Qi had in mind was to confront Sun Jian outside Xinye City. Zhao Yun could defeat the enemy with a single shot of an iron spear. If the confrontation failed, Xinye City had already been fortified, and the soldiers in the city were well-prepared. Sun Jian could not break it for a while, and Nanyang County Guard Wen
Naturally, Pin would not let his son Wen Dai stand alone and helpless in Xinye.
However, for Liu Qi, in a battle with Sun Jian, he can only win but not lose. There is no retreat. The battle between the two armies depends on the general's martial arts. Zhao Yun is Liu Qi's magic weapon for victory, and it is also a trump card that others have not realized yet.
, the ever-victorious general Zhao Zilong, looking at the history books, in 191 AD, Sun Jian had never heard of any general who could defeat Zhao Yun.
When Zhao Yun went into battle, he had to make sure nothing went wrong. Liu Qi was a little worried about the iron spear in Zhao Yun's hand. As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your weapon. Zhao Yun's loss of his silver spear, his specialty weapon, will undoubtedly reduce Zhao Yun's lethality.
No, Zhao Yun must solve the problem of the silver gun. Liu Qi thought about it. Not only was he smiling, but the sword god Pu Yuan had also been invited to Xinye. There were still seven days left, so it shouldn't be difficult to build a silver gun.
Liu Qi took the four personal guards Chen Chun, Chen Qiu, Chen Xia and Chen Dong to the "Feng Wu Die Fei Garment Shop" and "Hua Tuo Disciple Medicine" in front of the county government on the occasion of inspecting the wartime medical team.
Pu" visited Huang Wudie and Huan'er.
At this time, Huang Wudie and Huan'er were busy with medical and war preparations. They were not in the shop in front of the county government. In the clothing shop, Huang Wudie's mother, Mrs. Huang, was in charge, but in the medical shop, the maid Xiaoyu was taking care of it.
Sword God Pu Yuan is also helping Mrs. Huang take care of her in the shop.
Liu Qi greeted Mrs. Huang and Pu Yuan, asked a few questions casually, and was relieved to see that the shop was in good order under Mrs. Huang's care. Finally, he called Pu Yuan outside the shop.
Liu Qi smiled and asked with concern: "Senior Brother Pu, it has been some time since you came to Xinye, are you still used to it?"
In the Pu Yuan Dynasty, Liu Qi bowed his hands and said: "Thanks to the lord for the photo, Yuan is living well, and I have no other thoughts. Under the lord's wise governance, Xinye is stable and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is better than heaven on earth."
Liu Qi listened very comfortably, and did not expect that Pu Yuan would also compliment. However, it can be seen from Pu Yuan's sincere expression that Pu Yuan was complimenting from the heart. In Pu Yuan's eyes, no matter who is governing Xinye, as long as he can
Letting people live happily and with dignity is a good official, and Liu Qi is such a good official.
"Senior Brother Pu is so proud, there is no need to be polite between you and me." Liu Qi also bowed to Pu Yuan respectfully, then sighed softly, with a sad look on his face.
Seeing that Liu Qi was worried, Pu Yuan hurriedly asked: "My lord, what's bothering you?"
Liu Qi looked down at Pu Yuan with longing eyes, stamped his feet, and sighed: "Oh, it's okay not to say anything."
Pu Yuan could see that Liu Qi wanted something from him, but for some reason he was inconvenient to speak. Now Pu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and asked eagerly: "My lord, you can't trust me, Pu Yuan, why do you say so half-heartedly?"
Talk?"
Seeing that the heat had come, Liu Qi would hurt people's self-esteem by appealing to Pu Yuan's appetite any more. He seemed to be unable to bear it and said, "Senior Brother Pu must also know about Xinye's preparations for war."
Pu Yuandao: "The preparations for war in the county are related to the life and death of the people in Xinye. How could I not know that? Even the children and the elderly are gearing up to defend the city with their lives for the Lord."
Liu Qi sighed with emotion: "What a good people." He changed the subject and added: "Because of this, I am worried that the city will be destroyed and people will die, and the people will suffer."
Pu Yuan smiled secretly: "My lord, please stop teasing me. Under my lord's rule, Xinye has abundant troops. Not to mention the invasion of 20,000 soldiers and horses, ten Sun Polu came with 200,000 soldiers and horses."
Sooner or later, criminals will be on the master's plate."
Liu Qi groaned and said in surprise: "Brother Pu, where did you start talking about this? I, the magistrate of Xinye County, am not Jiang Taigong, and I don't have a list of gods in my hand. Where can I get the divine power to match ten with one?"
Pu Yuan put away his smile, looked upright, and said: "My lord, outsiders look at the appearance, but I, Pu Yuan, who is a blacksmith, can see the essence. My lord has a list of gods in his hand."
Liu Qi asked in confusion: "I have the list of gods in my hand, how come I don't know about it? Brother Pu, please don't make lies."
"Haha, my lord, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" Pu Yuan looked up to the sky and smiled, feeling deeply moved by Liu Qi's innocent but frank demeanor.
Liu Qi touched the back of his head unnaturally and said with a smile: "I really don't know. Please tell me, Senior Brother Pu."
"Okay." Pu Yuan stopped beating around the bush and said, "I came to Xinye for a while and walked around. Xinye is under the governance of the Lord. Although it is not a fairyland, it is better than the land of China that has been ravaged by war.
, it can be seen from the happy and peaceful demeanor of the people, which shows that the Lord is sincere and did not deceive us blacksmiths who were born in poverty."
Liu Qi said modestly: "Senior Brother Pu has given me such an award. This county feels very ashamed."
Pu Yuan smiled slightly and continued: "My lord does have a list of gods in his hand, and that is the human heart!"
