Chapter 294 Zhuge Liang, do you want to listen to what you said?
In June of the 15th year of Jian'an, with the slight sound of cicadas chirping, Cao Mengde's last troop of tiger and leopard cavalry finally evacuated Nanyang.
The Battle of Nanyang between Cao and Liu finally ended with Liu Bei's tragic victory.
Cao Mengde was defeated, but his strength did not suffer much loss. Although Liu Bei won, he also captured generals such as Xu Huang, Feng Kai and Tian Yu alive.
Let Cao Mengde's trusted generals Le Jin, Lu Zhao and others die in battle, leaving the whereabouts of Cao Hong and other clan members unknown.
But in the end, the damage itself was very serious, especially the lower-level generals and schools were almost wiped out.
As for Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, Zhuge Liang spent a lot of effort and difficulty preparing food and supplies, not to mention spending seventy-seven hundred and eighty-eight dollars.
It also directly delayed a year of farming in Jingzhou.
It can be said that the gap between the grain and fodder in Liu Bei's hands is already fatal.
For this reason, Liu Bei's counselor Chen Zhen took the initiative to ask for help and went to Jiangdong to look for Sun Quan, hoping to borrow some emergency supplies from Jiangdong.
At the same time, is it willing to reopen the border between Jiangxia and Jiangdong...
Of course, these grains and grass also need to be exchanged for a lot of things.
Although Chen Zhen finally tried his best to get a lot of food and supplies from Jiangdong, it was still a drop in the bucket.

The war in Xichuan was also not so smooth. Although Tian Yu and Guan Ping in Bajun were brave, those left by Zhang Lu in Bajun were all tribesmen.
Although Tian Yu and Guan Ping worked together to kill Yuan Yue, one of the clan leaders of the Jin tribe, overall they were not able to push the front into Hanzhong.
On the contrary, we have to constantly be careful whether Liu Zhang will suddenly take action behind him. The atmosphere on both sides is very tense.
Zhang Fei was blocked directly in Wudu on the other side of Hanzhong, which made Liu Bei even more worried.
As soon as the war ended, he had already rode his horse and brought several of his confidants to Zhuge Liang's side under the escort of Chen Dao.
"Military advisor...."
When we first met, his eyes were full of eagerness, as if it could melt Kong Ming.
"Kong Ming is indispensable for the victory in this battle. You really worked hard..."
"Lord..." Although this was not the first time Kong Ming saw such a look, he was still a little moved in his heart. "It is Liang's fault that the lord is in such trouble."
"Kong Ming, what are you talking about!" Liu Bei raised his hand to interrupt Zhuge Liang's words, "If we lose this battle, then Bei will not even have the chance to enjoy this embarrassment.
Don’t talk nonsense like this again in the future!”
Liu Bei first gave a long-term definition of the matter of being used as bait, and then started to get down to business.
"Kong Ming, although we have won a great victory now, if we can't make up for the gap in money and food, I'm afraid all our efforts will be in vain.
What do you think about this?"
"Well..." Kong Ming looked behind Liu Bei, and then asked something that made Liu Bei confused, "Why isn't Xianhe here?"
"Xianhe? He said he felt unwell and went to rest first..."
"Oh..." Kong Ming smiled slightly, his attitude was unpredictable.
At this time, in another corner of the military camp, Jian Yong, who had just settled down, slumped to the ground without any scruples, and then reached out and tapped the companion beside him.
"Come on, play a piece of music for me, it will give me a good rest!"
Chen Hao felt helpless when he saw Jian Yong acting so casually.
"Sir, shouldn't you stay with the lord first?"
"Are you with the lord? Why are you with the lord?" Jian Yong put on a casual expression, "Now the war has stopped.
The Lord is surrounded by famous advisors such as Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan, and powerful generals such as Wen Chang Hansheng.
There are also Jiang Gongyan and others who are able to govern the world...
You said that your husband and I, a man who cannot govern a place with letters or fight with force on the battlefield, do what we do there?
What if I accidentally fall asleep while the lord is discussing something with them?
Wouldn’t it spoil their mood?
You, husband, and I are already over forty, and it’s time to enjoy life.
Boy, hurry up and give me a blowjob, make it more cheerful..."
"Sir..."
"Hurry up, I'm already thinking about how to live a comfortable life after returning to Xiangyang..."
"Mr. Xianhe is here, my lord and Military Advisor Zhuge have invited you!"
Just when Jian Yong was thinking about a bright future, the call of a soldier directly interrupted all his beautiful dreams and brought him back to reality in an instant.
"Huh?" Jian Yong looked at the door blankly, "Master, why are they looking for me?"
"This... I don't know, sir, please hurry up. The lord and the military advisor are waiting in the Chinese army's tent..."
"Let's go!" Although Jian Yong always looks so carefree and unreliable, as long as it is Liu Bei's summons.
No matter what he is doing, he will rush over immediately.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Liu Bei trusts him.
Looking at Jian Yong, who was disheveled and with his chest exposed, constantly urging him to lead the way, the soldier was even more stunned than him for a moment...
In the Chinese army's large tent, when Jian Yong arrived, he could clearly feel the heavy pressure.
"Yong, meet my lord..." After Jian Yong entered the account, he bowed directly to Liu Bei who was on the throne.
Then he stood up, as for Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong...
To put it bluntly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't even bother to bend over here, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Xianhe, there is something important you need to do today."
Liu Bei looked at the old man in front of him who had followed him for most of his life, and couldn't help but sigh, "I still have to work hard for you."
"My lord, what are you talking about? It is Yong's blessing to be able to serve my lord!
I wonder where my lord is going to let Yong go?"
Jian Yong knew very well that he was a eloquent person, and apart from the mission, other things really had nothing to do with him.
"Xichuan, Chengdu!"
After hearing what Liu Bei said, Jian Yong couldn't help but skip a beat in his heart.
Now the relationship between them and Liu Zhang is not so good...
"I wonder what my lord... wants Yong to do?"
"This..." Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang, as if he couldn't bear to say the following words.
"Let Liang say it." Kong Ming knew that this request was indeed a bit excessive, but he had no choice at this time. "Actually, I just hope that Xianhe can persuade Liu Zhang to provide us with a lot of money and food..."
p>
"A large amount? How much is a large amount?"
"Taxes for two or three years in Xichuan..."
"Zhuge Liang, do you want to listen to what you just said?"
