Guo Yi left with a smile. He could finally go to the battlefield with Cheng Yu. If his father agreed, there would be no problem.
Seeing Guo Yi leave, Guo Jia's original smiling face also stopped.
Not worried? How could you not be worried! Guo Jia and Cao Cao are really more brothers than brothers.
It can be said that everything about Cao Cao has Guo Jia¡¯s hard work.
Now Yanzhou and Yangzhou are finally going to war. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, it is not good news for Guo Jia.
If Cao Cao wins, Guo Yi is now in Cheng Yu's army. Although Liu Mang treats Guo Jia very kindly, it is impossible to say that some people will be furious and put the fault of the defeat on their father and son.
If Liu Mang wins, then all of Guo Jia's efforts will be in vain, most of his life's hard work.
"Mengde, there's only so much I can do. Whether you win or lose is up to you!" Guo Jia seemed to be talking to himself or to someone. He looked towards One direction, that direction is exactly the direction of Yuzhou.
The solution to this chess game may lie there.
"This is Liu Zhang's head?!" In Yizhou, Liu Mang looked at the wooden box that was well wrapped in lime. When he opened it, there was a big head inside.
The owner of this head is none other than the former master of Yizhou, Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang.
"Lord!" Zhang Song knelt down next to Liu Mang. Although Zhang Song was very shameless towards Liu Zhang's ability, at least Liu Zhang was still very good to Zhang Song. He was both affectionate and reasonable. You should kneel down. After all, the dead are the most important.
As for how the head got into Liu Mang¡¯s hands. Naturally, I got it from "Zhao Wei", that is, Jia Xu.
"Chariot. Liu Pi, Zhang Xiu, Huang She, and now Liu Zhang is added!" Liu Mang also shook his head helplessly. This Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are really just middle-aged men who are the god of death, the boss killer. , whoever gets close to him will be unlucky.
Liu Zhang also died. You don't need to look at this Chengdu mansion to know that it must have fallen into Liu Bei's hands.
"Isn't Liu Bei afraid that Yan Yan and Zhang Ren will attack Chengdu immediately?" Liu Mang was a little strange. Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were Liu Zhang's confidants. If Liu Zhang died, these two people would probably avenge Liu Zhang.
"Old General Yan may not! General Zhang Ren will definitely do this!" Zhang Song said, he had already found out about some generals in Yizhou.
Yan Yan¡¯s heart is for Yizhou, not Liu Zhang. Whoever disrupts Yizhou will be his enemy, whether it is Zhao Wei or Liu Zhang. If Zhao Wei defeated Liu Zhang, then Yan Yan will now fight for Zhao Wei against Zhang Lu.
But Zhang Ren didn¡¯t make much movement. Judging from the intelligence sent by Jia Xu, Zhang Ren also withdrew from the Jianning generation. We have already begun to set up a defensive line on the front line in Chengdu.
"The fact that Zhang Ren can do this only means that he doesn't know that Liu Zhang is dead!"
"Don't know?" Liu Mang didn't understand. He didn't know that Liu Zhang was dead, so why Liu Bei could mobilize Zhang Ren's troops.
"Letter, tiger talisman!" Zhang Song said. No one can really imitate Liu Zhang's notes. As long as he has these two things, Zhang Ren will definitely obey his instructions.
"Liu Bei killed Liu Zhang, gave Liu Zhang's head to Zhao Wei, and then used Zhang Ren Yanyan to come with Zhao Wei and Zhang Lu to deal with me?!" Liu Mang quickly sorted out his thoughts. .
"This Liu Bei is really good at business!" Liu Mang also realized that if it weren't for the existence of "Zhao Wei" like Jia Xu, Liu Mang might really have to deal with Zhang Lu and Liu Bei. Zhao Wei and his three armies fought together.
Although Liu Mang's army in Yizhou was led by Zhang Song, who was very familiar with Yizhou, it took several days to reach outside Chengdu.
Chengdu Prefecture, this is the administrative seat of Yizhou, the land of abundance. It has been both the capital and the county seat.
Having gone through many vicissitudes of life, it is no exaggeration to say that it was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
The city is tall and towering. There are many mountains in Yizhou, but here it is on top of the mountains, which is enough to see his bravery.
With the efforts of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, Chengdu Prefecture can be said to be a huge turtle shell.
"This is really easy to defend but difficult to attack!" Liu Mang also looked around Chengdu Mansion. If he forced an attack on the city, the casualties would be huge.
"Not good!" Zhang Song took the people outside the Chengdu mansion and left. After a while, he came back in disgrace, looking full of guilt towards Liu Mang.
"Back to the king, I can't find those culverts!" Not to mention Chengdu Prefecture, Xiangyang City, that kind of soft soil,They are all authentic. Zhang Song and Zhang family have been in Chengdu for several generations.
So there are tunnels in his mansion that are connected to the city.
As long as he passes through this tunnel, Liu Mang can send all his troops to the city without anyone noticing. The strongest castles are often breached from within.
Zhang Song was very sure at first, but he once told Liu Bei, but he never thought that Liu Bei would directly block those culverts.
Now the plan to break through the city failed.
"It doesn't matter!" Liu Mang waved his hand. If Zhang Song's plan can be used, then use it. If it can't be used, Liu Mang will not force it because Liu Mang did not include Zhang Song in the plan from the beginning.
"Where is the red camp!?" Liu Mang asked Kuai Liang beside him.
"Back to the king, the Red Coat Battalion should arrive at Chengdu in two days!" The mountain roads in Yizhou were difficult to navigate, and the cavalry could not move, so Liu Mang simply used his war horses to transport the Red Coat Battalion's cannons.
"Okay! Prepare to attack the city in two days!" Liu Mang nodded. No matter how strong the city wall is, let Chengdu Mansion be the first test subject.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Yangzhou is here!" While Liu Mang was still looking at the city defense of Chengdu, Guan Hai walked up to Liu Mang and said to Liu Mang.
"Cabinet Office?" Liu Mang frowned when he saw the person coming. The person who delivered the order had a high status. In the Cabinet Office, Liu Mang was not in Yangzhou, and Xu Shu was fully responsible for all matters.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for Xu Shu to let Liu Mang worry.
Now, someone from the Cabinet Office came to Liu Mang. That means something big happened.
Liu Mangping retreated. This person from the Cabinet Office seemed to be saying something to Liu Mang.
"What!" Liu Mang's eyes widened. "Is this true?!"
"Your Majesty, every word is true! This is the letter from the Prime Minister!"
"I know!" Liu Mang took a deep breath. "Tell the Prime Minister, wait until this matter is over, and I will immediately come back with help!"
"yes!"
"Report, my lord, outside the Chengdu mansion, Liu Bei has called the formation and wants to invite you out to talk!"
"Liu Bei!? He also wants to talk to the king?" Zhou Cang said with disdain. Zhou Cang also saw what Liu Bei did, and he used to have a good impression of Guan Yu. Now even Guan Yu is in trouble.
"Since Liu Bei shouted, if he doesn't come out, wouldn't it mean that I, Liu Mang, are afraid of him?"
Liu Mang walked out of the camp, ordered his troops and horses, and headed straight out of the camp.
Outside the camp, Liu Mang saw that the number of people was really quite large.
There are three armies in total, one is naturally Liu Bei's own troops, and the other is none other than Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. It's just that if Liu Mang hadn't looked at Jia Xu carefully and Jia Xu was winking at Liu Mang, it would have been really difficult. Can't recognize it. The other soldier and horse are Zhang Lu's soldiers and horses.
"There are quite a lot of people here!" Liu Mang said with a calm smile.
"General Zuo Liu Bei has met His Highness the King of Han!" Liu Bei definitely did a good job on the surface. When he saw Liu Mang, he didn't get angry and just clasped his fists towards Liu Mang and greeted him.
"Uncle Liu Huang, long time no see! I miss you so much!" Liu Mang also nodded to Liu Bei and greeted him.
"It's been a long time!" Liu Bei didn't miss Liu Mang at all, because whenever he encountered something related to Liu Mang, it meant that he, Liu Bei, was going to be unlucky.
Liu Bei went from Xuzhou, to Yuzhou, to Jingzhou, and finally to Yizhou. Wasn't he forced by Liu Mang? So Liu Bei didn't want to see Liu Mang at all.
"Uncle Liu Huang, since you have come out, let's make sure we don't tell secret stories. Let's go out of the city and surrender! In this way, I can still leave you with a whole body!" Liu Mang tens of thousands of Yangzhou elite soldiers are under Chengdu, Liu Mang Although he was at an advantage, Liu Bei was forced to come to Chengdu by Liu Mang. He relied on the troops of Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei to resist at all. So Liu Mang spoke such words with confidence.
"Your Highness, King of Han, why are you so aggressive?" Liu Bei showed a sense of weakness and looked at Liu Mang over there. "We are all members of the Han clan, so we should complement each other, help the Han clan, and save the dawn, instead of killing each other! You will only make your relatives angry and your enemies happy." Liu Bei said so righteously,
Liu Mang smiled disdainfully, "I'm not being aggressive. If your and Uncle Liu's positions were exchanged now, would your Uncle Liu let me go?"
Liu Bei subconsciously said no.
"Don't talk about Liu Mang, it was Lu Bu who offended him and occupied his Xu??, Liu Bei was about to kill Lu Bu, let alone Liu Mang, who was driving him around like a duck.
"As for helping the Han Dynasty? Uncle Liu Huang, you don't need to worry about it! If you, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, still have a trace of kindness and morality, you should hang yourself here now! Let Yizhou return to peace, and let this land of abundance return to peace again !" Liu Mang didn't even look at Liu Bei seriously.
Cao Cao is already thick-skinned and shameless, but Liu Mang does not hate Cao Cao, nor is he disgusted with Cao Cao.
Because what Cao Cao wanted, he just opened his mouth and said it
He said that I wanted to be Prime Minister Zuo, so he became Sikong. He said that I wanted to be the King of Wei, and now he has become the King.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, clearly wants everything, but he says it nicely, but secretly he does some shameful things.
Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, each of these individuals believed in Liu Bei's justice. In the end, if it weren't for Liu Mang, no one would have a good death.
"Is there really nothing to talk about, His Highness the King of Han?" Liu Bei was still hoping to see if Liu Mang could let him go, even if he surrendered to Liu Mang.
"Either you die or the city perishes!" Liu Mang gave his final answer.
"If this is the case, Your Highness the King of Han, then it's no wonder Bei is the one to blame!" Liu Bei also shook his head and said to Liu Mang.
"Huh?" Liu Mang frowned. Could it be that Liu Bei had any backup plans?
"Your Highness, King of Han, can you remember what Bei just said, His Highness, the King of Han, only knows how to hurt relatives and hate enemies?!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Your Highness the King of Han, you and I are both members of the Han clan, and we should have loved each other. It's a pity, it's a pity, Your Highness the King of Han has lost your mind with power. Now you want to kill me, but you can, but you also gave it to an outsider. Take advantage of this opportunity!" Liu Bei looked pityful.
"An outsider?!" Liu Mang rolled his eyes and frowned. Could it be that Liu Bei also knew the news.
"Just a few days ago, Bei got news that Cao Cao in Yanzhou was collecting food and grass from all over the place. He also mobilized supplies from Jizhou, Youzhou and even Bingzhou!" Liu Bei said while paying attention to Liu Mang's expression on the other side. He wanted to see Liu Mang's surprised expression. Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
"So what!" Liu Mang was very indifferent.
"Don't you think it's suspicious, His Highness the King of Han? There have been no disaster years recently. What can Cao Cao do if he is hoarding food and grass?" Liu Bei said with a smile.
If one of the princes is hoarding food and grass, what else can he do? Naturally, he will start a war.
Everyone around Liu Mang also understood the meaning of Liu Bei's words. They all looked at Liu Mang. Is this true? Yanzhou Cao Cao has already started a war with the Yangzhou army?
Most of the soldiers and horses brought by Liu Mang are Yangzhou new troops, and their homes are in Yangzhou. If there is a war in Yangzhou, their hearts will also be in chaos.
Everyone desperately wanted to know from Liu Mang's mouth that this was a lie, but Liu Mang had no such words.
"After destroying you Liu Bei, the decisive battle between me and Cao Cao will begin!" Liu Mang did not deny it at all. "What's the difference between going faster and going slower? Sooner or later the day will come!"
"Aren't you worried about the safety of Yangzhou?" Liu Bei didn't understand. He actually looked at Liu Mang with great resentment. You must know that when Liu Bei escaped, he only had more than 10,000 troops around him, but Liu Mang sent Tens of thousands of elites really looked up to Liu Bei.
"With Yuan always here, even if Cao Cao attacks with all his troops, it won't be a problem!" Liu Mang didn't care at all, he was very relaxed, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"You!" Liu Bei was also furious. He was originally planning to use this news to damage the morale of Liu Mang's army, but he didn't expect that because Liu Mang didn't care, the officers and soldiers of the Yangzhou Army would be given an extra share. Confidence, not only that, but also because they were eager to return home, and they wanted to get rid of Liu Bei first and then return to Yangzhou. The eyes they looked at Liu Beijun were wrong.
