- "Retreat from the court!" the palace servants beside Liu Bei shouted loudly. ¨J
After giving the order, all the ministers respectfully sent Liu Bei off. After Liu Bei left, the ministers all talked about it and slowly left the court.
Prime Minister Xu Shao did not move. He stood there, looking at the frustrated faces of the civil and military officials in the court, and sighed. At this moment, he noticed a face with delicate features, white face and green beard. The light-black gown covered his strong body, making him look extremely elegant.
Xu Shao saw that the man was still standing in the hall. When all the ministers retreated, and only he and the man were left in the whole hall, he walked straight towards the man and asked with a smile: "All the ministers have retreated, sir." Why doesn¡¯t Yan leave?¡±
"At present, there is a powerful enemy. The ministers do not think about how to retreat from the enemy, but they first propose to move the capital. Gongyan does not agree. He plans to go to see your majesty later and tell your majesty what Gongyan is thinking one by one. I hope I can contribute to the country. Li." The person who spoke, whose surname is Jiang, whose given name is Wan, and whose courtesy name is Gongyan, is from Xiangxiang, Lingling, and is currently an admonishment official of the Han Dynasty.
After hearing this, Xu Shao nodded with satisfaction and said: "If all the ministers are like Gongyan, and the monarch and ministers are of one mind and hate the same enemy, even if the Chinese army has millions of people, there will be nothing to fear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shao reached out and patted Jiang Wan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Young man, work hard, the future belongs to you"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Shao coughed violently. He then took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. Then he turned sideways, glanced at the handkerchief, frowned slightly, and hurriedly held it in his hand. Then he turned to Jiang Wan and said, "When the emperor is unhappy, he always likes to sit in the pavilion in the imperial garden. Just go to the emperor. He needs someone to give advice the most now."
When he said this, Xu Shao's voice was obviously much weaker. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the palace. Every step was very difficult, but he knew that he could not fall down. He had to hold on and see with his own eyes how the Han army retreated from the enemy.
Jiang Wan had already witnessed everything. He saw Xu Shao coughing up blood. Xu Shao was seen slowly walking out of the hall step by step, and then got into the carriage with the help of the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was very thoughtful and it was natural that he would not be unclear about Xu Shao's illness.
With a sigh, Jiang Wan went straight towards the Imperial Garden.
In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Liu Bei was extremely angry at the actions of his ministers just now. The Huaxia Kingdom had just announced that it would send troops, and these useless ministers were about to move their capital, and the war had not started yet. Already lost in terms of momentum. There is a saying that if you lose people, you don't lose the formation. Now it's better. Liu Bei loses both the people and the formation.
Liu Bei was angry when he saw a palace servant coming over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for an audience with Dr. Jiang Wan."
"Jiang Wan? Which Jiang Wan?" Liu Bei didn't think of this person for a while, which was not his fault, because Jiang Wan had just been transferred to the capital. It was only three days before and after.
The palace man reminded: "It's the Jiang Wan recommended by Grand Sima."
Liu Bei thought for a moment and then suddenly realized. Zhang Fei did recommend a man named Jiang Wan, but he had been paying attention to the war for a while. Today, he was angered by the officials again, so he didn't think of it for a while. At this moment, he remembered that there was such a person, so he asked, "What's the matter with him?"
The palace man replied: "To report to the emperor, Mr. Jiang said that he is here to offer advice to repel the enemy."
Liu Bei was at his wits end. Suddenly he heard the palace man's words and hurriedly said: "Let him in quickly."
"No!"
Let¡¯s start from the beginning: Jiang Wan was a talent discovered by Zhang Fei in Lingling. At first, he recommended Jiang Wan to be the magistrate of a county. Later, the county captain reported that Jiang Wan was addicted to wine vats all day long and ignored all official duties.
Zhang Fei was furious. He personally rode his horse to Lingling and forced Jiang Wan to handle official duties. As a result, Jiang Wan tried hundreds of cases in one day and tried all the cases accumulated in more than a hundred days in a reasonable and reasonable manner. After Zhang Fei saw it with his own eyes, he was shocked. Then he realized that Jiang Wan was not a talented person, so he transferred Jiang Wan to his side as the chief clerk.
Zhang Fei is a typical young man who is close to the scholar-bureaucrats, so he also cares about Jiang Wan. Later, Zhang Fei felt that Jiang Wan was too talented to stay by his side, so he recommended Jiang Wan to the court.
Back to the subject: Jiang Wan followed the palace servants to the Imperial Garden. When he saw Liu Bei sitting in the pavilion, he immediately went to bow down.
After the ceremony, Liu Bei first looked at Jiang Wan. Seeing that Jiang Wan showed talent and elegance, he said, "My dear, what good advice can you give to me?"
Jiang Wan said: "I don't have any good strategies. I just came to recommend a few people to your majesty. They may be able to help your majesty retreat from the enemy. That's all."
Liu Bei was originally smiling and full of laughter.With high expectations, after listening to Jiang Wan's words, his smile narrowed and he said with a straight face: "Who are you recommending?"
"I heard that there was a hermit in Jingzhou who revived Sima. His name was an emblem, which was De Cao. The famous scholar Pang Degong called him Mr. Shui Jing. Mr. Shui Jing is just outside Xiangyang City. Why don't you go and ask for advice?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei said: "I have heard of this man, but I have never seen him. I sent people to recruit him several times before, but they failed. I don't know why."
Jiang Wan said: "Your Majesty should put down your dignity, treat the virtuous corporal, and go see him in person. Maybe you can invite such a hermit."
Liu Bei had been the emperor for several years, and he had long forgotten about the cold and starvation. As an emperor, he sneered and said, "You want me to personally invite a mountain villager?"
Jiang Wan enlightened: "The national crisis is facing us. Your Majesty should spare no effort to use whatever is available. As long as you can survive this crisis, you are your Majesty's saint. Jingzhou has outstanding people and countless learned people. As long as your Majesty is willing to treat the virtuous corporal, It will definitely capture the hearts of more Jingzhou scholars. In this case, those people will naturally be willing to be driven by your majesty. Pang Degong is the most famous among Jingzhou celebrities, but Mr. Shui Jing is the most famous. If your majesty can invite Mr. Shui Jing, as long as If Mr. Shui Jing writes a letter, Pang Degong will definitely come with him, and other famous people in Jingzhou will naturally follow him. "
After hearing this, Liu Bei felt enlightened and immediately said: "That makes sense. Then I will leave now, and you will go with me."
"No!"
After saying this, Liu Bei and Jiang Wan immediately dressed up and left the palace. Later, Liu Bei felt vaguely that something was wrong. Then he ordered someone to carry a load of gold and go with him.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan hurriedly stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shui Jing is not someone who can be moved by Jin Shiruo. Such hermits are generally aloof. I have already asked clearly. Mr. Shui Jing lives in Zhangzhou, southwest of the city. Your Majesty You just need to go in person, you don¡¯t need to bring any gifts, as long as you show your sincerity, you will definitely be able to impress Mr. Shui Jing.¡±
Hearing this, Liu Bei felt that it made sense, and gradually understood why Zhang Fei recommended Jiang Wan to him. Only at this moment did he feel it. Jiang Wan is indeed not a talented person.
The two men disguised themselves as ordinary people, each rode a horse, and without any guards, they left Xiangyang City and headed towards Nanzhang.
¡¡
"Ah Chou, have you heard? The Chinese army has mobilized the whole country, with a total of 700,000 soldiers, marching both by land and water. They are ready to destroy the Han Dynasty. Xiangyang will soon become a battlefield. I heard that Liu Zhang of Western Shu is recruiting talents. I am planning to move my family, will you go?" On the mountain path, a tall and handsome scholar said to an ugly man next to him while walking.
The rough-looking man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his height seemed very short, only one and a half meters tall. Compared with the fine-looking scribes around him, he simply pales in comparison. After hearing what the scribe said, he shook his head and said resolutely: "Liu Zhang is an incompetent person and has no place to support him. The Shu Han is weak and will be replaced sooner or later. I won't go, and I advise you not to either. Go, otherwise, next time we meet, you and I will probably be on the battlefield."
"Ah Chou, you and I are friends, and I would like to remind you that if you don't go, forget it. Why do you say you want to be my enemy?" The scribe was extremely unhappy.
"Brother Zhou Ping, I'm just reminding you that if you really don't want to stay in Jingzhou, it's not bad to go to Yangzhou. Soochow is getting stronger and stronger and has more prospects than Shu Han."
The person named Zhouping was named Cui, and he was the son of Cui Lie, the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty. After Cui Lie's death, he lived in Jingzhou. Because Cui Lie and Liu Biao had an old relationship, Liu Biao also treated Cui Zhouping very kindly. Later, when Liu Biao died and Jingzhou was in turmoil, Cui Zhouping lived in seclusion with several friends and studied with Pang Degong and Sima Hui.
The person called A Chou is a good friend of Cui Zhouping, whose surname is Pang Mingtong and whose courtesy name is Shiyuan. After Cui Zhouping heard Pang Tong's words, he immediately asked: "Thank you very much. But, where do you plan to go?"
Pang Tong smiled but did not answer. Cui Zhouping wanted to ask something else, but he saw two people riding two horses toward each other. It was Liu Bei and Jiang Wan.
After Jiang Wan saw Pang Tong and Cui Zhouping, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How can I get to the thatched cottage?"
Pang Tong and Cui Zhouping first looked at Jiang Wan and then at Liu Bei. They didn't know each other, but when they saw Liu Bei, they only felt that Liu Bei was a little noble, but they didn't think much about it, so they pointed not far behind them. , indicating the location of the thatched cottage.
Jiang Wan thanked him, and after getting on his horse, Liu Bei and Jiang Wan passed by Pang Tong and Cui Zhouping.
When Liu Bei rode past Pang Tong, he saw how ugly Pang Tong was. There was a kind of contempt in his eyes, and he just said:Such a sweeping situation caused him to permanently miss another outstanding young man in the world.
The four of them passed by each other, and after Liu Bei and Jiang Wan rode away, Cui Zhouping said to Pang Tong: "Ah Chou, the one who didn't dismount just now is a noble person, and he is born with different looks. He seems to look like the same person. ¡¡±
Pang Tong nodded and said calmly: "Lu, who has big ears hanging down from his shoulders, hands longer than his knees, eyes that can focus on his own ears, and who rides a famous horse, besides the current emperor Liu Xuande, who else can he have?"
After hearing this, Cui Zhouping hurriedly looked back, but Liu Bei and Jiang Wan had already disappeared. He turned his head and asked, "Why did Liu Xuande come to the thatched cottage?"
"The Huaxia Army threatened to raise an army of 700,000 and destroy the Han in two months. Although it is a rumor, it is definitely not groundless. The Huaxia Kingdom took the lead and made everyone in Jingzhou feel in danger. The Huaxia Kingdom has already won in terms of momentum. If If the Chinese army really marches south, they will definitely not mobilize all the troops from across the country. According to my guess, 300,000 is enough." Pang Tong said slowly, "Liu Bei came to Caolu this time to ask Mr. Shui Jing for advice. ¡±
After Cui Zhouping heard this, he said "oh" and stopped saying anything. Not long after, Cui Zhouping asked again: "Ah Chou, do you think Han will be attacked and destroyed by the Huaxia Kingdom? The Han Kingdom also has 300,000 soldiers and horses on land and water. 300,000 vs. 300,000, they may not be able to lose. Besides, Wolong is already an official in the Han Kingdom. With him here, we should be able to resist the Chinese army, right?"
Pang Tong laughed and said: "Brother Zhou Ping, who wins and who loses, what does it have to do with us? Aren't you going to Xishu anyway? In the next year, there will definitely be constant wars in Jingzhou, so leave early and relax early."
"I'm just talking casually. Zhuge Xian can't make a forest by himself. Don't you want to help Zhuge Xian? You attack and he defends, you are in charge of military affairs, and he is in charge of politics. Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, what a perfect partner. , as long as the invading enemy is annihilated, the Chinese army will feel the pain and will not dare to invade easily. At that time, you and Zhuge Xiandi can"
"Wolong is Wolong, and I am me. Please don't confuse me with drinking Wolong. He walked on his single-plank bridge, and I walked on my Yangguan Road. Although Liu Bei is called a hero, it is a pity that Jingzhou is the place of the Four Wars, and he and the former Soochow has a feud, and Huaxia and Wu have an offensive and defensive alliance. If Huaxia sends troops to conquer the south this time, Soochow will definitely send troops to help. Jingzhou is in danger. Wolong thinks he is smart and always wants to change his destiny, but he forgets one truth. "
Cui Zhouping knew that Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang did not deal with each other. Although the two were equally famous, they were jealous of Huang Yueying. It¡¯s not just a matter of one or two days. He sighed and said to himself: "Ah Chou, let's not talk anymore. Let's go see Miss Yueying"
"I still have something to do, you can go alone." After Pang Tong finished speaking. Turn around and leave.
Cui Zhouping shook his head and said, "If you don't go, what's the point of me going alone? Sister Yueying won't look at me seriously anyway?"
After the two separated, Cui Zhouping went straight to the wine shop in the mountain. He made an appointment with his friends Shi Tao and Meng Jian to have a drink together. When he saw Pang Tong walking away, he didn't care, so he went to keep the appointment to drink.
Pang Tong originally wanted to go home, but halfway through, he suddenly changed direction and remembered an extremely important thing, so he took a shortcut and returned to Sima Hui's thatched cottage.
¡¡
"Your Majesty, hermits generally live in seclusion in places with green mountains and green waters. This thatched cottage is where Mr. Shui Jing lives in seclusion. I only found out about it after asking for a long time. According to the guidance of the two young men just now, we can't go any further. After three miles, we can reach the thatched cottage." Jiang Wan held the horse's rein with one hand and pulled the horse forward slowly.
The same is true for Liu Bei. The mountain road here is difficult, so riding a horse is worse than walking with two feet. After listening to Jiang Wan's words, he just nodded but didn't say anything.
After a while, the two of them reached the end of the mountain road, but they saw an open space in front of them, a few simple houses, and around the houses, there were some cultivated fields with some vegetables planted on them.
When Jiang Wan saw this scene, he pointed to the house in front and said, "Your Majesty, the thatched cottage is in front of you."
Liu Bei was already out of breath from exhaustion. He had not exercised for many years. When he suddenly started exercising, he felt very tired. After being emperor for several years, my waist has become thicker and my body has become fatter. I no longer have the strength to even go up the mountain.
"Okay, you go and tell me, I'll rest here for a while." Liu Bei panted heavily and sat down on the stone.
Before Jiang Wan could leave, he saw a boy walking out of the thatched hut. The boy walked straight to Jiang Wan and Liu Bei. He bowed first and then said, "You are a distinguished guest. My husband has specially asked me to welcome you here. Please Come in with me, distinguished guest.¡±
Finished speaking, boyHe turned around and left.
Liu Bei and Jiang Wan were deeply moved by Sima Hui's prediction, so they followed the boy straight into the thatched cottage.
At this time, the sound of the piano came from the thatched cottage, which made people feel relaxed. For some reason, Liu Bei's initial fatigue was dissipated by this music, and he quickly regained his energy.
Liu Bei thought it was very strange. After following the boy into the thatched cottage, he smelled the rich sandalwood incense and saw a pine-shaped crane bone with extraordinary artifacts and a tall crown. A very handsome man was sitting there playing the piano. .
The sound of the zither suddenly stopped, and the person playing the qin stood up and said loudly: "A distinguished guest is coming. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar. Qingfeng will show you tea for your distinguished guest."
"Yes, sir." The boy who led Liu Bei and Jiang Wan in responded and went to pour a cup of tea for Liu Bei and Jiang Wan respectively.
"This is home-grown tea. I invite you to enjoy the newly picked tea this year." Fuqin said in a humane way.
Liu Bei was not paying attention to drinking tea. He took a small sip, then put it down, clasped his fists and said, "I'm here"
"Oh, distinguished guest, you don't have to say anything. I already know your purpose of coming. However, I am just a mountain villager and I don't have much talent. I'm afraid I can't help your distinguished guest solve his problems. Please forgive me."
Liu Bei looked at the man playing the piano suspiciously and said, "Mr. Shui Jing is really a god!"
The person who played the piano smiled and said: "The distinguished guest has a distinguished status and is willing to come to the thatched cottage, which has already made the thatched cottage shine. However, I have no intention of becoming an official, and I have no great talents, so"
"Sir, since you already know our purpose of coming, you must also know our identity. The person sitting in front of you now is none other than the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. His Majesty has never been so polite to a virtuous corporal in ancient times, sir" Jiang Wan said hurriedly.
"Haha. Needless to say, although I can't stabilize the country, I can recommend an immortal wizard to your guest. There is already an eternal wizard in your army, why is your guest not satisfied?" The person playing the piano is Sima Hui. He interrupted After hearing Jiang Wan's words, he looked at Liu Bei and said very sincerely.
Liu Bei listened. He asked hurriedly: "Who?"
"Have you ever heard of this sentence?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Father the dragon and the phoenix, get one of the two. You can bring peace to the world."
"Who is Fulong Fengchu?"
Sima Hui smiled and explained: "The one who subdues the dragon is Wolong. His compound surname is Zhuge, his single name is Liang, and his courtesy name is Kongming. He is a rising star. His wisdom and knowledge far exceed those of the people in Jingzhou."
"Is it Zhuge Liang?" Liu Bei suddenly felt surprised. He clearly remembered that it was an autumn when Zhuge Liang, who had just turned six years old, broke into his camp in Xiaqiu alone. The whole family came to serve
Seeing that Liu Bei was deep in thought, Sima Hui chuckled and said, "Since your distinguished guest has already obtained Kong Ming, you should be satisfied. With Kong Ming here, we may be able to protect Jingzhou."
Liu Bei nodded, thinking of the recent wars, Zhuge Liang did show his superior wisdom and defeated the Chinese army one after another. Even when he retreated, he did not forget to use tactics to annihilate the effective strength of the Chinese army. However, he was also extremely interested in Feng Chu, who was as famous as He Zhuge Liang. He thought that if two people got one, they would be able to settle the world. If they got both, he would be able to regain the empire of the Han Dynasty.
So, Liu Bei asked: "Thank you sir for the information. I just don't know who Feng Xiao is, who is as famous as Wolong?"
Sima Hui had a kind face and said slowly: "Dear guest, please be careful not to be too impatient. I'm tired, so I won't keep you here. Please do as you please."
Liu Bei was ordered to be expelled. Although he felt annoyed, he also understood that he must not offend Sima Hui, so he left with Jiang Wan.
Sima Hui sat there, motionless. After seeing Liu Bei leave, he said loudly: "Come out, he has gone far."
As soon as the voice fell, Pang Tong walked out from behind a straw curtain, walked to Sima Hui's side, sat down, stretched out his hand to lightly fiddle with the strings, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
Sima Hui and Pang Tong had a close personal relationship, and they were both teachers and friends, so they often called themselves brothers and sisters. They were friends who had been together for many years.
"I really don't understand you. Kong Ming is already serving at Liu Bei's office. If you go again, the two of them will join forces. Even if the Chinese army forces all the troops in the country, as long as they defend the Han River, they may not lose."
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Liu Bei will be destroyed sooner or later. Kong Ming changed his destiny against heaven. This is his path. What I want to take is my own path, a unique path."
With that said, Pang Tong took out the jade pendant that had been hanging on his body, played with it carefully, and thenHe said to himself: "I think it's time for me to set off. While the Chinese army and the Han army are going to war, I should also do something."
Sima Hui only knew that Pang Tong had great ambitions, but he didn't know the meaning of the jade pendant he found. He just patted Pang Tong's shoulder gently and said: "The dragon sings and the phoenix sings, the crouching dragon wakes up, and the phoenix chick takes off. Who can soar?" Jiutian, it all depends on your own destiny.¡±
While the Huaxia State and Jing Hanjian were tense, the situation in the northwest began to become turbulent. As Lin Nanbing attacked Wei State in three ways, Wei Jun caught off guard and rushed to fight. Seeing that the purpose of attracting the Wei army's strength had been accomplished, the Chinese army took the initiative to retreat to Lingzhou after launching a series of blitzes.
However, Wei Jun still left a large number of troops to defend Liangzhou just in case. After Cao Cao returned to Chang'an, he received a letter of credence from Jing Han, asking Cao Cao to share the same hatred with the enemy and launch an offensive against the Chinese army. Cao Cao just sneered. With his far-sighted eyes, he had already seen Lin Nan's intentions.
So he secretly transferred the soldiers and horses from Liangzhou back to Qinzhou, and then made a bluff in Liangzhou and built a plank road openly. However, he secretly went to Chencang and stationed in Hanzhong with his elite soldiers and horses. Prepare to launch an attack on the Han Kingdom entrenched in Shu when Lin Nan and Liu Bei are fighting.
At the same time, Sun Ce of Soochow also agreed to send troops to Jinghan and fight in person, leaving Zhang Zhao in charge of the government and Zhou Yu as the vanguard governor. Raise 200,000 troops, advance by land and water, and station them in Chaisang and Xunyang, ready to attack Jinghan at any time.
The intentions of Soochow made the Jinghan people even more panic-stricken, and all the ministers rushed to submit petitions to move the capital. Liu Bei was furious and killed a minister on the spot, which stopped this evil trend. Afterwards, Liu Bei boldly promoted Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was appointed as the military advisor, commander-in-chief, and governor-general of all the Han army's troops. But in the hearts of Jingzhou people, they are about to face an unprecedented disaster.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou had always been stable. Because Liu Biao lacked the ambition to compete for hegemony, even if there were occasional wars, he would fight on the outside. For the first time, the war burned into the peaceful Jingzhou. For a while. The people in Xiangyang City moved south one after another or fled to Shu to seek refuge.
Within a few days, families in counties and counties surrounding Xiangyang City moved out of their families. For a time, the situation in Jingzhou was turbulent and people were uneasy.
On September 26, Grand Sima Zhang Fei returned to Xiangyang from Jingnan without an edict. He entered the city on horseback and went straight to the palace. The guards in front of the palace gate did not dare to stop him and could only let him in.
At this time, Liu Bei was meeting Zhuge Liang in the main hall. In the past few days, he and Zhuge Liang had often had long talks to analyze the situation at hand. How to deploy troops and horses, how to defend, all are planned.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Zhang Fei was furious. As soon as he got off his horse, he broke into the main hall and shouted loudly.
After hearing this, Liu Bei turned around and saw Zhang Fei coming, and said: "Third brother? You came just in time. I was about to send someone to Changsha to call you!"
Zhang Fei and Liu Bei haven't seen each other for almost a few years. Ever since he learned that Liu Bei had quenched poison on his Zhangba snake spear, he has always had an unsolvable knot in his heart. He acted openly and aboveboard, but he didn't know that his elder brother Why did he do this? If it was just to kill Lin Nan, it was not impossible for him.
For several years, Zhang Fei has been staying in Jingnan with Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin. Every time Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin returned to Xiangyang, he was unwilling to go back. He didn't want to see Liu Bei, because when he saw Liu Bei, he would think Liu Bei was despicable. The brotherhood had already changed when Liu Bei was quenching his poison. The former brothers who talked about everything no longer existed.
Over the past few years, Zhang Fei has gradually understood a truth, that is, he can only be him and can never replace anyone. In Liu Bei's heart, brothers are just pawns to be used.
However, today is different from the past. The Huaxia Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom are both preparing to use troops against Jinghan. At this time of national crisis, he decided to put aside all grudges and go to the national disaster.
"My lord, Zhang Fei, come to see the emperor!" Zhang Fei said respectfully.
"Third brother, please get up quickly. We are brothers, there is no need to give such a big gift." Liu Bei hurriedly went to help him.
Zhang Fei stood up before Liu Bei could reach out his hand, and said respectfully: "I have no order to return to the capital, and I ask the emperor to punish me. In addition, I heard that the Huaxia Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom used troops against our country, and I came here specially." Please order me, your Majesty, to give me a troop of troops."
"Third brother, I" Liu Bei reached out and wanted to hold Zhang Fei's shoulders, but who knew that Zhang Fei actually took two steps back, causing his arm to fail.
Such a simple scene made Liu Bei feel a little confused. He frowned slightly, retracted his arm, and thought to himself: "The third brother still refuses to forgive me. I really Did you do something wrong?"
Zhuge Liang's sharp eyes saw the subtle movements between Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but he didn't know why the three heroes who were said to be sworn brothers in Taoyuan back then were now going to different extremes. Guan Yu is arrogant and conceited, taking things easy and slow down; Zhang Fei is bold and courageous, and cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes; Liu Bei Liu Bei
He has never been able to see through Liu Bei. He was unable to see through the psychology of this man who was born with visions. He seems a bit sanctimonious, a bit old-fashioned, and a bit cunning. Liu Bei can be regarded as the first person in history to be able to combine many people into one, and he is even more rogue and scoundrel than his ancestor Liu Bang.
Although he didn¡¯t know what unpleasant things happened between Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang could tell that the brotherhood had faded.
"Your Majesty, the general is building a defense system in Deng County. If the general goes there again, it will be half the result with twice the result. I think we can let the general go to Deng County and join forces with the general to fight against the enemy." Zhuge Liang said.
Zhang Fei glanced at Zhuge Liang and knew that he was Zhuge Jin's younger brother. He and Zhuge Jin got along very well. So I also have a good impression of Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Okay. Third brother, you go to Deng County and join forces with the second brother to fight against the enemy. With the two of you here, I can feel relieved."
"I obey the order!" Zhang Fei turned around and left without stopping at all.
When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei walking away, he just sighed and said nothing.
Zhuge Liang walked to Liu Bei's side. He said: "Your Majesty, the great Sima is rough and the fine, so it will be fine if he stays with the general. However, the Wu army continues to increase troops in Xunyang and Chaisang. Although Tian Yu has performed well in recent years, he has not Unable to stop Wu's army, and our army is not strong enough to deal with the troops of the two countries, it is better to"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? are half spoken. Zhuge Liang hesitated to speak, looked at Liu Bei, and finally swallowed the second half of his words.
When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang stopped suddenly, he said, "Why not?"
"I am brave, but if I am wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"I forgive you for your innocence."
Zhuge Liang dared to say this. He said slowly: "Does Your Majesty know the story of Tian Dan's restoration to Qi?"
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Of course I know."
After a second thought, he asked, "Ai Qing, do you want to follow Tian Dan's example of restoring Qi and guarding the lonely city alone?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "I think that our country's total military strength is 300,000. Instead of dividing the troops for defense, it is better to concentrate all the troops in Xiangyang. In this case, it will be much easier for Your Majesty to command. Our army is backed by the imperial city and does not need to transport food and grass." , but the enemy has come, and the supply of food and grass is inconvenient. As long as the partial troops are sent to harass the enemy's food roads from time to time, over time, the enemy will naturally be able to retreat without fighting. By dividing our troops, our army can take advantage of the opportunity and concentrate its superior forces to defeat them one by one. As long as it can withstand the offensives of Huaxia and Soochow, our army will have room for maneuver, so the Wei State in the northwest may not be willing to send troops to help. , we can only rely on ourselves in this war.¡±
Liu Bei knew that this was a fight to the death. But instead of dividing the troops to resist the enemy and being defeated by the enemy one by one, it is better to gather all the troops together. In this case, they will be twisted into a powerful force that can withstand the enemy's offensive.
"Okay, it's settled like this. I issued an imperial edict and ordered all soldiers and generals in the country to return to Xiangyang and Jiangling."
"No!"
¡¡
One month later.
Wei State, Hanzhong.
Cao Cao was sitting in the prefect's mansion in Hanzhong. When he saw Suo Xu coming from outside, he asked, "How is it?"
"Your Majesty, the Huaxia Kingdom, Jinghan, and Dongwu are at war with each other. The Jinghan army has retreated across the board and is concentrated in Xiangyang and Jiangling. It seems that they want to hold on to these two important cities. The decisive battle is expected to begin soon. "
"Very good. Pay close attention to the war between Huaxia Kingdom and Jinghan. As long as the war in the East continues, I will personally lead the army to attack Jiameng Pass. To open up the territory and expand the territory, I can only start from Shuhan. If the three kingdoms in the East fight, I will have to watch Shu and dominate. Western soil.¡±
"I understand. All my understandings have been mobilized and can participate in the battle against Shu at any time." Suo Xu said.
"Very good. I hope Xia Houyuan, Cheng Yu, and Liu Ye can continue to contain Lingzhou's troops in Liangzhou."
"As soon as the war breaks out, the entire East will focus its attention on Jingzhou. Liu Bei will be alone and will be destroyed by him. Lin Nan and the former sent troops from Lingzhou. It is nothing more than a bluff to contain our army's troops. If the two sides Fighting on the front line, I am afraid that the Chinese nation will not be able to take care of both the head and the tail.Don't worry, even if General Xiahou's plan is discovered, Lingzhou will not attack without authorization. "
Suo Xu has been highly trusted since he surrendered to Cao Cao. He arrived in Chang'an with 20,000 troops. After quelling the Qiang rebellion, he took the initiative to hand over 20,000 troops to Cao Cao and returned to Hanzhong alone. , from this point alone, he has no ambition. Therefore, after Cao Cao became emperor, he considered again and again and gave the position of general to Suo Xu to show his respect for Suo Xu.
After Suo Xu became the general, he lived up to expectations. Starting from his own perspective, he strictly enforced the generals and soldiers. He also encouraged the transformation of soldiers and armor, participated in the war to pacify the Western Regions, learned the technology of hardening steel from the Western Regions, and promoted the blood tank in the army. The curved saber made the weapons of the Wei army very sharp for a while.
At this moment, a man came in and said: "Kowtow to the emperor, there is a man asking for an audience outside the palace gate. No matter how hard I try, I can't drive him away. Later, the man took out this jade pendant and asked me to give it to the emperor. , saying that the emperor will receive him after seeing him. "
Cao Cao took the jade pendant and looked at it. He was startled and asked hurriedly: "Where is the person?"
¡°It¡¯s just outside the Prefect¡¯s Mansion!¡±
Without saying a word, Cao Cao headed out the door. He was sitting cross-legged on the futon with bare feet, but he was so happy that he forgot to put on shoes.
Outside the prefect's mansion, Pang Tong put his hands in each other's sleeves. It was already a severe winter weather, and it was freezing outside. Although there was no snow, the cold wind was enough to freeze people. He had been standing in the cold wind for a while, his face was livid, and his clothes were thin, so his body began to tremble.
Since Liu Bei went to the thatched cottage that time, he said goodbye to Sima Hui, and at the same time said goodbye to his uncle Pang Degong. He traveled alone through mountains and rivers for a month, and finally arrived in Hanzhong.
Not long after, Cao Cao ran out of the prefect's house with bare feet. When he saw Pang Tong, he didn't judge Pang Tong too much by his appearance. He walked up to Pang Tong with the jade pendant and asked, "Is this jade pendant yours?"
Pang Tong was deeply moved when he saw Cao Cao running out barefoot in such a cold weather, and immediately said: "This jade pendant is indeed mine, but now that it is worn on your majesty, it should be returned to Zhao intact."
Cao Cao patted Pang Tong on the shoulder, took Pang Tong's hand, and said with a smile: "It's you after all. I didn't expect that you would have grown so big after a few years apart. If it weren't for your meal that day, I wouldn't be here." He also gave me some guidance, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be here today.¡±
Pang Tong was so flattered that he didn't expect Cao Cao to have any dislike for him. For a long time, he had been hated by many people because of his appearance, but today, he seemed to find resonance with Cao Cao.
After entering the prefect¡¯s mansion, Cao Cao immediately pointed at Suo Xu and said, ¡°This is our country¡¯s great general Suo Xu. This is¡¡±
Having said this, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never asked Pang Tong's name before, so he asked: "I was confused and forgot to ask you your name?"
"I am Pang Tong, named Shiyuan, nicknamed Fengchu, and a native of Jingzhou."
"Hello, Mr. Pang." Suo Xu said politely.
Cao Cao was very happy. He immediately described in detail what happened when he met Pang Tong and Pang Degong. He was also grateful to Pang Tong.
He immediately arranged a banquet for Pang Tong. After that, he entertained Pang Tong well.
After nightfall, Pang Tongyi was lying on the bed alone, remembering that Zhuge Liang changed his fate against the will of heaven, just to get a stage to show off his talents, but he chose Liu Bei.
