The number of people here already includes the reinforcements brought by Liu Zhe, and the total available number is only about 50,000.
Zhang Liao originally had about 60,000 men, but he fought successive battles with Liu Bei, resulting in about 20,000 casualties.
Although Liu Bei seemed to be beaten away every time, Zhang Liao also paid a lot of price.
Especially after Liu Jing and his party came here, Zhang Liao had to take the initiative in order to prevent Liu Jing from being threatened, which greatly increased the losses of his men.
Now that Liu Zhe is here, Zhang Liao is relieved. Liu Zhe's strength has long been ingrained in Zhang Liao's heart. With Liu Zhe here, Zhang Liao believes that Liu Bei will not be able to stay idle for long.
"How big is Liu Bei's loss?" After hearing this, Liu Zhe was not angry and had no intention of holding Zhang Liao accountable.
Liu Bei's strength is not weak, the number of soldiers is superior, and he has Zhu Huan Ji Ling and other generals to help him, which means that only his own men can deal with Liu Bei. If other princes came, they would have been destroyed by Liu Bei long ago.
"Go back to King Yan."
Zhang Liao replied, "Although I don't know the specific casualties of Liu Bei, I can be sure that Liu Bei's losses were much greater, and the casualties of the soldiers must be at least 30,000 or 40,000."
Zhang Liao had this confidence. In several battles with Liu Bei, Zhang Liao always had the advantage. Especially in the battle two days ago, Liu Bei dropped nearly 20,000 troops in front of the camp. Thinking of this loss, he would definitely suffer. Let Liu Bei cry from night to dawn.
"And our army has captured thousands of Liu Bei's troops. These are huge losses for Liu Bei."
Liu Zhe nodded, touched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Return all these captured soldiers."
"Why?" Zhang Liao was immediately puzzled.
Wouldn¡¯t letting these people go back will strengthen Liu Bei¡¯s strength?
"King Yan, many of these prisoners are in good condition. Let them go back and they can go into battle immediately"
Zhang Liao did not finish what he said, but his meaning was clear. Letting these people go back would only allow Liu Bei to equip them immediately and then deal with his own soldiers.
"It doesn't matter!"
Liu Zhe smiled and said, "Wen He has told you the purpose of my coming here, right?"
Zhang Liao nodded, Liu Zhe sent Jia Xu to take the lead, and told him Liu Zhe's purpose of coming here.
Liu Beixin captured Yizhou, and he captured it in a dishonorable way. The people's morale was not stable, and the military's morale was not stable.
Originally, Liu Bei's best approach was to cultivate his health, slowly calm down the people, and stabilize Yizhou.
As long as time goes by and the people of Yizhou stabilize their lives and live a better life, they will turn to Liu Bei and support Liu Bei wholeheartedly.
As long as Yizhou is brought into the normal governance track, Liu Bei's strength will be greatly enhanced quickly. This is Liu Bei's ability, and no one can deny it.
Liu Zhe cannot deny that Liu Bei does have two skills, especially in winning people's hearts, Liu Bei is extremely good at it.
Once Liu Bei is allowed to gain a foothold in Yizhou, the people in Yizhou will definitely be won over by Liu Bei, and they will even become Liu Bei's diehard loyalists in the future.
There is a big difference between Yizhou and other states, that is, Yizhou is a plateau, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and is surrounded by tall mountains. It can be said that there is relatively little contact with the Central Plains, and it also makes Yizhou easy to defend and difficult to attack. .
Once Liu Bei has established a foothold in Yizhou, it will cost a lot to capture Yizhou in the future.
So, Liu Zhe is here.
Liu Zhe does not want to capture Yizhou right now. The purpose of his coming here is to consume Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei cannot be completely separated from Yizhou, he still wants to open a rift between Liu Bei and Yizhou so that Liu Bei cannot communicate with him. The complete integration of Yizhou made it impossible for Liu Bei to turn Yizhou into his back garden.
Jia Xu had already told Zhang Liao about this, and Zhang Liao also knew the purpose, but he still didn't understand why Liu Zhe let Ji Ling and the prisoners go.
"Letting them go will give Liu Bei the confidence to continue spending time with me here."
Liu Zhe said calmly, "If Liu Bei is crippled in a battle, Liu Bei will not dare to come out and come to me to beg for mercy. If I don't agree, wouldn't it mean that the world will blame me?"
"Or maybe Liu Bei is hiding and doesn't dare to come out to fight. Is it possible that this king really wants to go to Chengdu?"
"If I lead people to Chengdu and the people of Yizhou are war-torn again, they will definitely bear their previous resentment against me."
It¡¯s like a person,If your home is robbed, before you have time to feel sad, and then another thief comes, you will naturally blame all the losses on the second thief.
Liu Zhe doesn¡¯t want to go and take the blame for Liu Bei right now.
Moreover, Liu Bei is now the actual controller of Yizhou. If Liu Zhe goes to Chengdu and lets Liu Bei secretly cause trouble and make the people of Yizhou share the same hatred, this will make Liu Bei gain the support of the people of Yizhou more quickly. What will happen to Liu Zhe? To say it is self-defeating.
Liu Zhe, who had thought clearly, had already decided. He came under the guise of helping Liu Zhang capture Yizhou, and he would control the battle line around Fucheng and no longer go deep into Yizhou. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
