Chapter 202

"I'm afraid Liu Bei is asking Han Fu for that 150,000 shi of grain!"

Yuan Shao's heart, which had been hanging, relaxed quite a bit.

Liu Bei was still very hard to fight; Yuan Shao had deep experience. If Liu Bei was determined to help Han Fu, he would have to expend a lot of energy to plot for Jizhou.

Just then, scouts arrived.

"Report! ~"

"My lord, Liu Bei left Yecheng the same day and led his army to attack Ju Yi!"

"Accompanying him were Ju Shou, Zhang He, and others."

Yuan Shao??

Guo Tu and the others were also very confused. What is this Liu Bei doing!

Xu You cupped his hands.

"My lord, we should hurry and send troops to Yecheng; delay will lead to changes!"

Feng Ji opposed sending troops to Yecheng, feeling that they should go to assist Ju Yi!

Guo Tu felt that they should wait and see. Ju Yi is a wolf cub; Liu Bei going to fight him, why not be happy to see it!

Yuan Shao's head was about to explode; he didn't know who to listen to at all. It seemed everyone had a point!

Netizens in the live broadcast room also discussed it one after another.

"What is the Big-Eared Thief doing? He said he couldn't seize this Jizhou before, and now he's lingering and won't leave!"

"I don't understand either!"

"Yuan Shao is also confused!"

"Yuan Shao's confusion lies in having too many strategists, all talking at once. He definitely has a choice phobia!"

"If it were me, I'd lead troops directly to Yecheng. Why think so much!"

"Da! Da! Da!"

Liu Bei led his army to the vicinity of Handan!

"Report~!"

"My lord, Ju Yi has led over ten thousand troops to stand fifteen miles to the north, ready for battle!"

Ju Shou cupped his hands.

"Lord Xuande, Ju Yi started in Xiliang and is proficient in mastering the Qiang people's tactics. His private soldiers are all elites, with many bows and crossbows, and he has a set of good tactics for dealing with cavalry."

Liu Bei nodded. He naturally knew that this Ju Yi, relying on eight hundred "first-to-ascend" soldiers and a thousand strong crossbows, beat Gongsun Zan until he threw away his helmet and armor, and the White-Feathered Cavalry was reduced to ashes in one battle!

However, at this time, he shouldn't have that many bows and crossbows yet.

It can be said that Ju Yi is the strongest in leading troops to fight among Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou!

Without him defeating the White-Feathered Cavalry, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao would have been fighting for Hebei for a long time.

Liu Bei occupies Bingzhou, and his goal is Sili. If Yuan Shao occupies Ji, Qing, and You too early, he will soon have ideas about Bingzhou.

Liu Bei wants to let the two of them make trouble for a while longer so he can develop with peace of mind.

Liu Bei looked at Ju Shou.

"Gongyu, what do you think of this Ju Yi?"

Ju Shou paused.

"Lord Xuande, Ju Yi is good at fighting, but he has no faith or righteousness, is arrogant and lawless, and cannot be suppressed unless by a hero."

Liu Bei agreed with Ju Shou's evaluation very much.

Ju Yi saw that Han Fu was weak and wanted to clamor for a split. After the Battle of Jieqiao, he was even more arrogant and was eventually killed by Yuan Shao.

"Ju Yi and Gan Ning are somewhat similar; they have their own elite troops, are brave and good at fighting, and are unruly 0......"

Fifteen miles was soon covered.

Liu Bei led his army to stop one mile away, observing Ju Yi's formation.

Over ten thousand troops, with cavalry approaching two thousand, one thousand on each side protecting the wings.

The center road was infantry holding large shields standing in the front array, and the rear array was blocked, so it was not clear.

Liu Bei, however, could feel that behind the large shields, there should be several hundred strong crossbows, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.

"Gentlemen, what do you think should be done to break the enemy?"

Zhang Fei spoke first.

"Big Brother, what tactics are there to talk about? There are only that many people on the opposite side. We will rush over directly, and he will collapse!"

Liu Bei ignored Zhang Fei's speech and looked at Xu Shu.

"Yuanzhi, you speak first."

Zhang Fei?? Speak first? Didn't I just speak!

Xu Shu frowned.

"My lord, I observe the troops on the opposite side. The infantry in the center is particularly elite. Behind the large shields, I'm afraid there is a hidden murderous intent."

"Just now Brother Gongyu said that Ju Yi's troops are good at using bows and crossbows. I estimate that there are at least several hundred strong crossbows behind the large shields waiting for our cavalry to charge."

Liu Bei nodded. If Gongsun Zan had Xu Shu as a strategist, he wouldn't have been defeated so miserably.

Gongsun Zan's miserable defeat had Ju Yi's tactical reasons, but more of it was because he was "floating." Once a person is "floating," it is easy to be defeated.

He had thirty thousand people, facing Ju Yi's eight hundred "first-to-ascend" soldiers, and didn't take them seriously, thinking one charge would settle it. Unexpectedly, he was shot to pieces!

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.

"I didn't expect this Ju Yi to be so insidious! I almost fell for his trick!"

Liu Bei glared at him.

"Yide, how many times do I have to tell you? Think and look more when encountering things, don't just rush!" 5.7

Zhang Fei shrugged.

"Big Brother, I can't change it."

Liu Bei shook his head and looked at Xu Shu.

"Yuanzhi, then how should we break it?"

Xu Shu paused.

"My lord, this formation is strong in the front army. Our army is all cavalry, so there is no need to charge. Send three tiger generals to harass from the left, right, and rear, making him unable to attend to both ends, and he will inevitably collapse!"

Ju Shou and Zhang He exchanged glances. They didn't expect this unknown Xu Shu to have such high wisdom!

Liu Bei looked around and began to give orders.

"Zilong, you lead two thousand five hundred cavalry to attack the enemy's left wing!"

"Understood!"

"Yide, lead two thousand five hundred cavalry to attack the enemy's right wing."

"Understood!"

"Zhang He, I will give you two thousand cavalry. You go around to the rear of Ju Yi's army and attack his rear army."

Zhang He didn't expect Liu Bei to trust him so much, so he hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Understood!"

"Good, Gongyu, Yuanzhi, you two and I will personally lead four thousand troops in the center, waiting for the opportunity of battle."

"Understood!" ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
