"Marquis Jiang, my lord invites you to go to the Chinese army to discuss matters."

The herald came to deliver the message, Jiang Zhuo nodded, got out of the carriage and summoned the war horse to follow the herald away. Qin Fen, the mosquito and pro-soldier commander around him, also followed closely.

Jiang Zhuo probably knew what Liu Bei was looking for him to do, before Yuan Shu's seven-way army was assembled in Shouchun, and there was no clear news about where they were going to attack the seven-way. It is also said on the official website of the game that the Seven Route Army of Yuan Shu's Northern Expedition will have different strategic goals than historical records.

Because it is very strange to record the seven-way army of Yuan Shu's Northern Expedition, only two of them directly attacked Xiapi County, and the other five roads all ran to other people's territory, and there was even an army that directly crossed the mountains, rivers and seas to attack the Jieshi Land of Liaoxi County.

That's right, this Jieshi is said to be the Jieshi in Cao Cao's poem "East Jieshi, to view the sea", which is located in Liaoxi County.

This is very unreasonable, even if Yuan Shu is very arrogant, thinking that he can be invincible wherever his Seven Roads army passes, and hang up all the princes who do not allow his army to pass.

But his attack on Liaoxi County all the way was simply a stroke of genius. Starting from Shouchun, go to the east of Xuzhou, enter Qingzhou, go north to Jizhou, and pass through Youzhou to reach Liaoxi County. Along the way, there are Langya Kingdom, Beihai Kingdom and other marquis, as well as powerful princes such as Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and the army is completely going to send people away, and it is funny to succeed.

This should be a clerical error in the history books, or simply a mistake made by the person who wrote the history book when he examined the materials himself.

Therefore, no one knows where Yuan Shu's Seven-Route Army will go on the Northern Expedition. However, Jiang Zhuo knew that the game company's modifications were very limited, and only the offensive target of Chen Lanjun, the Fifth Route Army, which attacked Jieshi in western Liaoning, was changed to Guangling County, which was subordinate to Sun Ce.

"The news should have come out, and the target of the Second Route Army's attack is still Xiaopei. The players on the territory of Yuan Shu, who had 10,000 foot riders, 20,000 minfu and 20,000 or 30,000 followers, were not weak. ”

Jiang Zhuo thought about it and came to Liu Bei's side. Now that he was still on the march, Liu Bei practiced himself, riding on a war horse, not riding a carriage.

"Brother Xian, there is news that the Second Route Army among the Seven Route Army of Yuan Shu is coming for our Xiaopei. We are now about to enter the territory of Xiapi County, do you think we will go directly south to meet Qiaorui, or divide our troops? ”

Liu Bei's inquiry made Jiang Zhuo's eyes light up, if he was asked to say it, of course it would be a division of troops!

Liu Bei's charm is not small, although only 5,000 troops and 8,000 militia auxiliaries were dispatched in this battle, but there were more than 300,000 followers of the players, and they followed the army in a black manner. Any enemy scouts along the way will be overwhelmed by these players.

But in the same way, with these players here, it is impossible for Jiang Zhuo to monopolize some benefits. Therefore, it is best to divide the troops and let him lead all the way to deal with Qiaorui, Liu Bei continued to enter Xiapi County, preparing to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Qiao Rui is just a mediocre talent, if the eldest brother can trust the younger brother, he will lend General Zhao to me. There is no need to send soldiers and horses, just let the power of Peiguo County support the grain and grass used by my 7,000 people. ”

Jiang Zhuo looked like he was swearing, and Liu Bei was also more convinced of Jiang Zhuo's war talent, so he directly issued a legendary mission.

【Defend Xiaopei】

Mission content: Defeat the Qiao Rui army sent by the thief Yuan Shu and keep Peiguo County.

Mission Time Limit: During the [Yuan Shu Emperor] event.

Reward: [Book of War: Lü's Spring and Autumn: Legendary]

Mission Failure Penalty: -10000 Fame

Jiang Zhuo's eyes lit up suddenly, and his saliva almost flowed down. The reward turned out to be a legendary military book, which should be the book that Lu Meng read in the allusion of Lu Meng's "three days without seeing each other".

In addition, it is recorded in history that Guan Yu also likes to watch the Spring and Autumn Period, to the point where he can't put it down.

The perfect-level [Book of War: Captain's Son] can increase the general's elite rate by 4% per week, and if it is legendary, although Jiang Zhuo has never heard of it in his previous life, he has at least 6%, right? Or even 8%?

If he got this book of war, Jiang Zhuo would no longer have to be in a hurry to prepare for a decisive battle with Sun Ce when he was not completely strong.

He can safely build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly increase the elite rate of the army. Sun Ce's elite rate of the Red Armor Army was as high as 50%, and there were 25,000 elite soldiers in the 50,000 army.

This is the reason why Jiang Zhuo is so anxious and has no confidence in helping the public. On the battlefield, to use the player to deal with an elite soldier, at least a squad of 5 people is sufficient. Because NPCs are naturally high in HP, even if it is a small team to deal with elite soldiers, it will take a minute or two.

When Sun Ce fights, he only needs to use the army and a group of bosses to lead the flat push, and Jiang Zhuo has no ability to resist.

"Big brother rest assured, little brother will keep Xiaopei worry-free!"

After saying that, Jiang Zhuo rode his horse and left the army with the 3,300 people of the [Lingyun Palace], and went directly south to [Xiangxian], where he wanted to wait for the Qiao Rui army.

At the same time, Jiang Zhuo directly spent 700 gold coins to let Lu Su take the seven thousand soldiers and horses under his command to teleport from the post station to Xiangxian.

Of these 7,000 soldiers, 5,000 were 5,000 militiamen who captured the Zhenrong army, and the elite rate was only in single digits. The remaining 2,000 soldiers were more than 1,800 bandits sent by the third young man of the Chai family as promised, plus some bandits who were captured in Geyang County.

During this time, the armies of all the generals under Jiang Zhuo's command were all damaged in battle, and just by replenishing their troops, Jiang Zhuo's original thousands of troops were digested. In fact, Jiang Zhuo knew that those generals would report to three of them if they were killed, in order to strengthen his army.

But this is a problem that every military general NPC has, and he would rather spend his own money to raise extra soldiers, but also ensure that he has enough soldiers and horses on hand to make meritorious contributions when war comes.

"Lord, is it for the sake of Qiao Rui's entry into Pei?" Lu Su came first, this good old man was completely accustomed to Jiang Zhuo's urine. A few days ago, he also withdrew Lu Su from the front line for training, and he was transferred in a blink of an eye.

Although in the game, the time required for training soldiers has been greatly shortened, but in just a few days, his subordinates are either surrendered or bandits, and now the combat effectiveness is still worrying.

"Yes, war is the fastest way to train soldiers. I plan to defend the city and train your soldiers and horses first. ”

When fighting, a soldier who kills an enemy soldier will gain a lot of experience. For level 50 elite soldiers, you only need to kill 5 hostile elite soldiers to upgrade by 1 level. However, it seems that it is easy to upgrade, but it is actually difficult. Generally, the elite who can kill 5 enemy soldiers in a row is the elite of the elite, otherwise they will be killed before they level up.
