Three Kingdoms: I have a job transfer palace

When Liu Bei took office as Xuzhou Mu, the reason why he was able to draw a draw with Cao Jun was just with one breath.

First, because of the reputation of Liu Bei's benevolence in Xuzhou, Xuzhou soldiers were willing to fight against Cao's army with 200% enthusiasm.

The second is that when Liu Bei took office, he was determined to make a career, which made him mobilize all his abilities and wisdom to confront Cao Jun.

The third is that the death of the former Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian stimulated the Xuzhou Army and inspired their determination and desire to avenge their old master.

When Tao Qian was in office, although Xuzhou's military capabilities were not strong, because Tao Qian was on good terms with Zhou Mu, the governor of each state, he remained neutral to all external wars. Therefore, although Xuzhou and Zhengzhou were located in a battleground for military strategists, there were almost no wars..

Precisely because there is no war, the people of Xuzhou can have a better living environment and do not have to worry about being suddenly attacked by an army.

As a result, they had more time to farm, which made Xuzhou's grain hoarding far exceed that of other states and counties, making it one of the richest states in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the people of Xuzhou all supported Tao Qian and were full of reluctance and mourning for his death.

In addition, the Xuzhou army was an elite Danyang soldier brought by Tao Qian from his hometown of Danyang, so his feelings for him were even deeper.

As the saying goes,"A soldier who mourns will win", every Xuzhou Army soldier held his breath and wanted to avenge Tao Qian.

The combination of these three external factors caused the Xuzhou Army, led by Liu Bei, to show a fighting spirit that was completely opposite to that of Tao Qian's period, and for a time it blocked Cao's army and made it difficult to advance.

But as Cao GUI, the famous military strategist in the pre-Qin period, said, when the two armies fight, they will be strong and weak, and then they will be exhausted.

The Xuzhou Army, which was already at a disadvantage, was able to fight Cao Jun with only one breath. However, as the battle continued for a long time, the breath was finally consumed little by little.

Without the previous high morale support, the strength gap between Xuzhou Army and Cao Army became highlighted.

After all, among the six and fifty counties in Xuzhou, there were only two generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were capable of commanding an army to fight against Cao's army.

Among the two of them, Zhang Fei had a bad temper and did not understand strategy. Only Guan Yu could lead his army in battle without falling behind.

Even so, as generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were outside generals, the soldiers were inevitably unfamiliar with their cooperation, giving Cao's army many good opportunities to defeat the enemy.

In addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the only local general in Xuzhou who can be ranked as Cao Bao is Cao Bao. The others are all people with false reputations and no ability.

But even Cao Bao is just the bigger one among the dwarfs, and cannot be compared with Cao Cao's generals.

On the other hand, in Cao Cao's army, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan were both first-class generals, and there were even super generals like Xu Chu.

Although Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin and others are not ranked in terms of military force, they are enough to instantly kill any general in the Xuzhou army except Guan and Zhang.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei are both super generals, if they were to fight against each other, only Xu Chu in Cao Cao's army could stop one of them.

But since Cao Cao already knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both super generals who could be defeated by thousands of people, how could he let his generals challenge them in a duel?

What's more, these generals under Cao Cao not only have outstanding military force, but also everyone's commanding ability is top-notch except Xu Chu.

If these people divide into several armies to attack Xuzhou, even if Liu Bei goes into battle personally, he will not be able to resist them all.

In addition to generals, Liu Bei was also completely defeated by Cao Cao in terms of counselors.

Although Liu Bei's counselors Chen Deng, Jian Yong and Mi Zhu were very capable, Jian Yong's ability was mainly reflected in debates and discussions.

If he is asked to serve as an envoy to discuss alliances with other princes, Jian Yong will definitely be a good person, but if he is asked to make suggestions, it is not his strength.

As for Mi Zhu, the main reason why he became one of Xuzhou's top civil servants was his family's vast wealth.

As a wealthy man in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu's main role in Xuzhou was to provide military supplies and food for the Xuzhou army and ensure the normal expenses of the army.

In terms of making suggestions, Mi Zhu was not outstanding.

Therefore, all combat plans, marching plans, etc. of Liu Bei's army were planned by Chen Deng.

Although Chen Deng is also a first-class strategist, if he faces ordinary enemies, his strategies will definitely have immediate results.

But it is a pity that his opponent, the chief counselor in Cao Cao's army, was Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai is one of the few super strategists in the world today, but his strategies are far beyond what Chen Deng can compare with.

Moreover, in addition to Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao also had top advisers such as Cheng Yu and Xun You to help him, and the strategies of each of them far exceeded Chen Deng.

Therefore, under the planning of Xi Zhicai and other top counselors, coupled with the strong force guarantee of top generals such as Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan, Cao's army was full of momentum and began to launch a fierce counterattack.

And all the way south, he won consecutive battles and victories.

Under this situation, Liu Bei could only retreat all the way after losing consecutive battles. In the end, he could only retreat to Xiapi, not daring to fight again.

Just when Liu Bei was trapped in Xiapi and didn't know how to carry out the next step, he met a man in the streets of Xiapi, wearing geji turban cloth robes, soap ribbons and black shoes, and came singing a long song.

He sang:"The sky and the earth are turning upside down, and the fire is about to perish; the building is about to collapse, and a tree cannot be supported. There is a wise man in the valley, and he wants to surrender to the Ming Lord; the Ming Lord seeks the wise man, but he doesn't know me."

Liu Bei listened to this song, He immediately knew that this person was definitely a man of great talent, so he stepped forward and asked his name.

This man seemed to be waiting for Liu Bei. When Liu Bei came up to ask, he bowed his head and said,"I'm Xu Shu from Yingchuan. I know that Duke Xuande is in trouble, so I came here to offer my advice."

Although Liu Bei had never heard of Xu Shu's name, he thought of it. This man came from Yingchuan, where literati gathered, and he was so conceited. He must have had real talent and learning.

So he immediately asked:"Thank you sir for your help, but I don't know what your plan is?"

Xu Shu said with a smile:"The morale of Cao's army is at its peak at this time, but Duke Xuande has been defeated one after another. Cao Cao will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

So, I believe that within three days, Cao's army will surely surround Xia Pi."

When Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked and immediately bowed and asked,"In this case, how should Bei retreat from the enemy? Please teach me, sir."

Xu Shu said to him. Liu Bei was very satisfied with his humility, so he did not give in and said directly:"Xuan De Gong only needs to persist for ten days.

During this period, I will personally go to Yuzhou to persuade the Yuzhou pastoralists to form an alliance with Xuande Gong and send troops to help Xuande Gong.

Arrive. When the two armies join forces, they will be able to defeat Cao's army."
