Chapter 426: Alliance Liu Xiu(1/2)
At the camp of the Eastern Han army, Liu Xiu summoned Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and other subordinates to discuss advance and retreat.
The sons of the two planes each invested more than 300,000 troops and horses. For the second time, they each tested each other, and they both hid their means, and it was difficult to decide the outcome.
"If we call 300,000 troops from the rear towns to increase our troops to 600,000, and take down Heyang City, it should be no problem."
"The problem is that if Zhang Hua forcibly conquered Heyang, he would feel threatened and would definitely recruit troops from the rear to compete for the city again."
"If this continues, the two sides will continue to increase their troops, which will turn into endless ground meat battles, and the result will be just a battle for a city."
"Before the other princes were destroyed, this move would undoubtedly be a loss of both sides."
Cheng Yu, a counselor of Cao's army, analyzed the situation for everyone.
Liu Xiu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others nodded and agreed with Cheng Yu's view.
Both sides were evenly matched, and they were not sure about fighting for a city.
Zhang Hua has many military generals deployed in Guanzhong, Hedong, and Central Plains.
Liu Xiu also had many military generals deployed in the north to resist the powerful enemies of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Both sides used less than half of their troops and had spare energy.
Cao Cao suggested: "Your Majesty, Zhang Hua's power has been established. It is not a wise move to compete with the Xia army at this time. It is better to annex Youzhou, Bingzhou, and then send troops to Qingzhou..."
Yuan Shao widened his eyes. Isn’t Cao Cao’s strategic territory the territory of Yuan Shao during the Battle of Guandu?
Yuan Shao was occupied by the four prefectures and confronted Cao Cao, but in fact, he had the upper hand.
But Yuan Shao lost the good situation and was defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu.
Cao Cao believed that Liu Xiu was not Yuan Shao. As long as Liu Xiu obtained the four states, he would undoubtedly win against Zhang Hua.
The strategy proposed by Cao Cao was completely copying him Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao quickly said, "I have already had this idea, but Cao Aman takes the lead!"
"Report! Your Majesty, the Xia army is here to envoy!"
Just as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao continued to argue, the Xia army came to envoy.
"Bring him to see you."
Liu Xiu was curious about Zhang Hua's intention to send envoys to come.
Soon, Su Dai, a traitor, came to Liu Xiu's military tent.
"In the next Sudai."
"Su Dai?"
Liu Xiu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others naturally knew that Su Dai was one of the representative figures of the strategists during the Warring States Period, and all showed a look of surprise.
To them, Su Dai was also considered an ancient celebrity.
Su Dai began to lobby Liu Xiu: "Heyang is a small city, which is the place of Sun Ce. Sun Ce wanted to present Heyang City to my lord, why did the Emperor of Han fight? Now that the two sides are evenly matched, it is better to retreat their troops and use Heyang as the boundary to be at peace, so as not to prevent the soldiers on both sides from being wrapped in horses and corpses."
Su Dai's words had no effect on kings of Liu Xiu and Cao Cao, but Su Dai did not want to bewitch Liu Xiu and Cao Cao, but instead discussed the matter.
"Stop it?"
Liu Xiu was suffering from the lack of a way. If Zhang Hua took the initiative to demand a ceasefire, then Liu Xiu would not lose his dignity as the Emperor of Han in front of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu.
Su Dai bowed: "Not only that. My lord wishes to make an alliance with the Emperor of Han in Heyang, and from now on, Heyang, Taihang and Yellow River as the boundaries, and do not invade each other and divide the world equally."
An alliance?
Now, Liu Xiu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao were all secretly surprised.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Hua not only demanded a ceasefire, but also requested an alliance.
Su Dai continued: "Now the two sides are evenly matched. If a fight is made, millions of troops will be mobilized, and the Yellow River will be blocked. It is better to form an alliance and stop the troops and safeguard the world."
Su Dai’s subtext is that neither side can do anything to each other, so let’s stop fighting and develop their own way.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Jia Fu, Geng Yan and others looked at Liu Xiu at the same time.
Whether it is a war or a harmony is all in Liu Xiu's thoughts.
Liu Xiu replied: "I can form an alliance with your master, but I want him to come out and talk to me."
"This...when I go back and report it...it should be no problem."
Su Dai heard that Liu Xiu was going to talk to Zhang Hua in person, so Zhang Hua probably wouldn't be afraid to meet with Liu Xiu.
"I want to see this opponent..."
Liu Xiu rarely encounters a close opponent and becomes interested in Zhang Hua.
This is one of the few opponents that interest Liu Xiu.
At the Xia army camp, Xu Chu and Zhou Tai returned to the camp, and two powerful generals were injured in the battle with the giant, and Zhang Hua asked Li Shizhen to heal the two of them.
"I'm afraid that among the people, only Xue Rengui can fight Jia Fu or the giant. Or, your father also has such combat power."
Zhang Hua looked at Lu Lingqi and signaled that Lu Lingqi's father Lu Bu was at the same level as Jia Fu and the giant.
Xue Rengui, Lu Bu, Jia Fu, and the giant are all powerful generals whose strength exceeds the level of the Five Tiger Generals. In their respective eras, they represent their peak combat power.
"My father..."
When Lu Lingqi thought of Lu Bu's whereabouts, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Su Dai returned from Liu Xiu's camp and explained Liu Xiu's request to Zhang Hua.
"Promise Liu Xiu, I will meet with him."
Zhang Hua also wanted to see the legendary Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu is the strongest opponent Zhang Hua has encountered, so Zhang Hua intends to meet with Liu Xiu in front of the two armies.
The next day, in front of the two armies, Zhang Hua and Liu Xiu, the sons of the two planes, came out separately under the escort of their respective generals.
Beside Liu Xiu, there was champion Hou Jiafu as the escort, while beside Zhang Hua, there was tiger crazy Xu Chu, and the five tiger general Huang Zhong as the escort.
Jia Fu and Lu Bu were the same level as the strongest in the late Western Han Dynasty, so Zhang Hua believed that he would have to bring two guards, so that he would be foolproof.
Liu Xiu agreed to Zhang Hua's request.
Five people met in front of hundreds of thousands of troops.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are on high alert. If the lords of both sides fail to negotiate, there will be a battle.
"Liu Xiu..."
"Zhang Hua..."
The two finally met in front of the two armies.
Xu Chu and Huang Zhong were full of vigilance. Jia Fu gave them a sense of oppression similar to Lu Bu. If Jia Fu suddenly attacked Zhang Hua, it would be possible that Zhang Hua would be killed.
"Champion Hou Jiafu."
Huang Zhong was also a military general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he naturally knew that Hou Jiafu, the champion of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In fact, there were two champions in the Eastern Han Dynasty, one was Jia Fu and the other was Dou Xian.
In fact, Dou Xian is more like Huo Qubing, one person who has won the title of Lang Juxu.
Jia Fu is known for his force.
Huang Zhong attached great importance to the powerful generals in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"If Jia Fu takes action, I will attack Liu Xiu and you will keep your lord."
Huang Zhong ordered Xu Chu to continue.
Liu Xiu's own military power is not low and should not be underestimated.
Zhang Hua finally saw Liu Xiu's true face, a man in his early thirties, seven feet and three inches long, with a face like a jade crown and a starry sky.
Liu Xiu was the real protagonist in the late Western Han Dynasty.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu farmed in Nanyang, and his brother Liu Yun raised a group of chivalrous men.
Later, Liu Xiu was studying in Chang'an and met veteran ministers such as Deng Yu and Zhu You.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and established the Xin Dynasty, and the world was in chaos.
Liu Yan and Liu Xiu raised an army and joined forces with the Green Forest Army. In the battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang's 420,000 terrorists with more than 10,000 people, changed his fate against the will of heaven. Because of his military achievements and improved his status, he successfully married his dream lover Yin Lihua.
Later, Liu Xiu occupied Hebei again, became the emperor, and defeated the world.
Liu Xiu had no killing of meritorious officials, and successfully captured the military power of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. The world was ruled and was known as the "Guangwu Revival" during his reign.
In addition, Liu Xiu was originally a handsome man.
This is definitely the template for the protagonist of the cool story.
When Zhang Hua saw the legendary Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, he felt very lucky in his life.
Liu Xiu also saw the powerful enemy who swept across the Central Plains and blocked him in Heyang City, as if he saw himself in the mirror.
Zhang Hua has a good appearance, starry eyes, sword eyebrows, and has great luck.
