Chapter 881: Ma Chao's soldiers go out of Zhenyang
"Therefore, the subordinates thought that the lord should go out of Jingzhou, because this was the only chance for the lord to jump up and break the current situation."
A gleam flashed in Heng Fan's eyes, he looked at Liu Bei and said, "Once you miss this opportunity, you can only wait for the princes to compete for hegemony."
"Then look for opportunities from it, only in this way can we have the opportunity to overcome the predicament, not to mention that once Jingzhou is annexed, and Huang Chengyan and others are there, it will definitely shorten the time to control Jingzhou."
"This matter is an extremely beneficial thing for the lord, and his subordinates think that the lord should send generals to the state and take the opportunity to take Jingzhou."
……
"Whew."
……
Hearing Heng Fan's explanation, Liu Bei exhaled deeply, stood up and wandered in front of the map, thinking about the crisis and opportunity of sending troops.
"Zize, if Benzhou Mu sends troops, who do you think is appropriate to lead the troops north to Jingzhou?"
In the end, Liu Bei still made a decision, and he knew in his heart that such a decision was what he wanted.
For the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, no one will not desire, and at this moment, Liu Bei is no longer depressed about the thoughts in his heart.
The land of one state, the army of 100,000, and these civil and military henchmen, this is Liu Bei's capital that dominates the world.
……
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Heng Fan was shocked. Because he knew in his heart that Liu Bei's words were simply to roast himself on the shelf.
……
Sure enough, at this moment, Ma Chao's eyes flashed with a fine light, and Guan Yu was also cold, obviously these two people were extremely eager to send troops to Jingzhou.
The thought flickered in his heart, and Heng Fan felt bitter in his heart, thinking about who should send troops to Jingzhou and who should guard Jiaozhou. At the same time, his eyes flickered on Ma Chao and Guan Yu.
Heng Fan knew in his heart that even if he sent troops to Jingzhou, only Ma Chao and Guan Yu had that qualification throughout Jiaozhou, because these two people were Liu Bei's most trusted people.
There are only 100,000 troops in the entire Jiaozhou, and once the troops are sent to Jingzhou this time, they will inevitably take away 50,000 troops. This is almost half of the army in Jiaozhou, and if it is not his own people, Liu Bei will definitely not rest assured.
Heng Fan knew that Jiaozhou Mu Liu Bei's sick attachment to military power would definitely not let others get their hands dirty.
The thoughts in his heart flickered, Heng Fan looked at Ma Chao and Guan Yu, and was a little entangled in his heart for a while, so he hesitated.
As the military advisor of Jiaozhou, Heng Fan is very clear about the personnel under Liu Bei, and he understands the abilities and specialties of Ma Chao and Guan Yu.
It was precisely because of this understanding that Heng Fan's heart was a little entangled for a while, because he knew that compared to other generals, Guan Yu and Ma had almost the same superpowers.
The same unruly, the same combat power, and the same Liu Bei's attention.
With a certain thought in his heart, Heng Fan looked at Liu Bei and said, "My lord, my subordinates think that General Ma should lead an army of 50,000 to Jingzhou and compete with Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, for a day."
……
"Strategist, why not Guan?"
Liu Bei hadn't spoken yet, but he saw Guan Yu's face change, and he stood up and looked at Heng Fan violently, and said in a cold voice.
"Could it be that in the eyes of the military advisor, Guan is not as good as Zhao Wang Lu Bu."
At this time, Guan Yu was extremely proud in his heart, looking like the eldest and the second in his own heart, and he didn't take everyone in his eyes.
……
Looking at Guan Yu, Heng Fan smiled bitterly, he knew that once he opened his mouth, this would be the result. It's just that Liu Bei himself wants to pretend to be a good person, so he can only offend people by himself.
Waving his hand, Heng Fan glanced at Liu Bei, explained, and said, "General Guan, now the lord is still in Jiaozhou, and the land of Jiaozhou is rampant."
"Compared with Jingzhou, Jiaozhou is the foundation of the lord, no matter what happens in the future, Jiaozhou cannot afford to lose."
"The general's prestige in the nine counties of Jiaozhou is greater than that of General Ma, so only the general's suppression of Jiaozhou can be foolproof, so General Ma was allowed to go north to Jingzhou."
……
"Humph!"
Hearing Heng Fan's explanation, Guan Yu also knew that what he said was not wrong, but this did not make the resentment in Guan Yu's heart disappear.
Because compared to being trapped in Jiaozhou, he was more willing to lead the army out of Jingzhou and compete with Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, and Wen Ping, the general of Jingzhou.
……
Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu, who had quieted down and sat down again, and his gaze fell on Heng Fan's face, and said.
"This matter is based on what Zi Ze said, Meng Qi led an army of 50,000 from Panyu, crossed Zhenyang into Jingzhou, and then occupied Guiyang County and went north to Changsha."
"No."
……
Nodding his head in agreement, Ma Chao turned around and left, getting the opportunity to send troops to Jingzhou, which made Ma Chao extremely excited, because he knew that his achievements were at this moment.
Especially being able to fight with Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, made Ma Chao extremely excited, because there are not many opportunities like this, maybe there is only one time in his life.
"Lord, this time Meng Qi will go north, he will take away 50,000 troops, I am afraid that Baiyue will riot again at that time, please make plans for this matter in advance."
"Hmm."
Hearing Heng Fan's admonition, Liu Bei flashed a murderous intent in his eyes, turned his head to stare at Guan Yu, and said.
"Second brother, the 50,000 troops in Jiaozhou are led by you, ready to extinguish the rebellious Baiyue army at any time, during the time when Meng Qi is going north, Jiaozhou must not be chaotic."
"No."
Guan Yu nodded in agreement, turned around and left the state pastor's mansion, and walked towards the barracks. He also knows how much impact the Baiyue riots have on Jiaozhou.
Jiaozhou is their foundation, and it is also the lifeblood of Liu Bei, they have been displaced by Liu Bei for so long, and finally have a piece of territory, so they are naturally unwilling to riot in Baiyue.
……
What's more, Jiaozhou is the hope of avenging the third brother Zhang Fei, and only enough territory can have a strong army. Although Guan Yu was conceited, he also knew that by himself, he would not be able to kill Qin Hou Yingfei single-handedly in a war.
Guan Yu knew in his heart that Zhao Yun and Dian Wei under the command of Qin Hou Yingfei had no certainty of victory in a battle at all.
In the battle array, Qin Hou Yingfei must be guarded by all the generals, and Guan Yu didn't think he would have a chance.
……
"Zize, why did you choose Ma Chao to go north to Jingzhou instead of Yunchang?"
Watching Guan Yu leave, Liu Bei's eyes fell on Heng Fan's body and asked the doubts in his heart.
In Liu Bei's opinion, Guan Yu's reputation in Kyushu in the Central Plains is even greater, and if he is Hengfan, he will definitely use Guan Yu instead of Ma Chao.
Hearing this, Heng Fan was silent for a while, looked at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, General Zhang Fei's death in battle is not only regretful to you, but also the same General Guan."
"If General Guan is allowed to go north, once the supreme Marquis Qin Yingfei is supreme, I am afraid he will not be able to come back."
At this moment, Heng Fan's face became extremely solemn, and he looked at Liu Bei word by word, and said.
"Now we can't afford to lose at all, so our subordinates let General Ma go north."
