"Very good." Liu Bei nodded: "So, who would like to go to Guiyang?"
Zhao Yun came out of the line and said in a deep voice: "Yun is willing to bring his troops to Chen County to stabilize the situation."
Chen County is the capital of Guiyang County. Previously, when Zhao Yun pacified Guiyang, he had stationed troops there. As the former prefect of Guiyang, he had a close relationship with Zhao Fan and once talked about marriage. Zhao Fan's escape with all his people made Zhao Yun very angry.
Liu Bei laughed twice and persuaded him a few words. Now that the two generals of Zhang are leading heavy troops outside, Chen Dao urgently goes to Chanling to suppress the surrendered soldiers. Zhao Yun is really unable to stay by his side for a moment. But as the one who surrenders Zhao Fan, Zhao Yun has to make such a statement. Both of them know this.
Zhuge Liang swung his feather fan and patted his forehead: "General Zilong, don't be upset. I went to Guiyang several times before, but I didn't see that Zhao Fan had the determination to abandon his official position and surrender to Cao. This fact is strange. But well, these people are already at the same time, and they have the intention to leave. Since they have left, we can re-select reliable officials to Linjun. In the long run, it will be a good thing..."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang was suddenly stunned: "No!"
More than ten visions in the hall immediately focused on Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly: "Just now everyone thought that Zhao Fan abandoned his official position and surrendered to Cao?"
Liao Liying said: "This person is the prefect of Guiyang appointed by Gong Cao. Since he has abandoned his official position, he naturally fled to the north. Military advisor, what is suspicious about this?"
Zhuge Liang thought about Zhao Fan's deeds and said, "At that day, General Long led his troops to Chen County, and this king surrendered, without any swearing to be loyal to Cao Gong. After submission, if he intends to escape, when our army fought in Jiangling, he just abandoned his official position and left, why wait until now? What's more, at this moment, he fled along the Lei River, and the cities along the way were either Liu or Sun. Where did he have the confidence to be able to return safely under the search of the two naval armies? Unless..."
Liao Li gasped: "Unless..."
"Gongyuan, you're right." Zhuge Liang smiled at him: "Unless the chaos in Guiyang is simply instigated by the Eastern Wu."
Yiji and Ma Liang looked at each other in surprise.
The expressions of the other people gradually became solemn and confused.
Xi Zhen said worriedly: "Why is Wu Hou like this? Is he going to use this method to force Jingnan? That would be a bit despicable."
"Since the Eastern Wu can do this bad move in Guiyang..." Liao Li jumped up from the mat and shouted: "Then the matter of Chanling may not be related to the Eastern Wu."
"That's right." Zhuge Liang turned around quickly, bowed to Liu Bei first, and then took the military newspaper sent by Chen Dao this morning from the desk: "You have already read this military newspaper, which mentions the manpower and material losses of Mrs. Sun?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Chen Dao is a person who is careful in his work. Since he doesn't mention it, there will be no losses.
Chanling, as the county seat of a county, has a larger city than the public security. Therefore, Mrs. Sun brought many wealth, treasures, clothing and goods from Jingzhou, all of them were specially placed in Chanling. A few days ago, Liu Bei ordered his armed servants to Chanling with Mrs. Sun's armed servants in the name of asking them to take care of Mrs. Sun's property.
However, Chanling County experienced such a large-scale riot, and the city officials and people suffered huge losses, but did not affect the personnel and materials to whom Mrs. Sun were at all. I'm afraid it was not because they were very lucky, but because the people who instigated the riots consciously avoided a certain area of ​​the city when choosing the route to break the city.
Thinking of this, everyone sighed almost in unison.
Chen Zhen, a employed person who is famous for his loyalty, coughed lightly: "After all, the Sun and Liu families are alliances, why... why......"
No one answered in the hall, and he felt that he could not continue to speak. Everyone in the hall knew what the so-called Sun-Liu alliance was like. Since Cao's army returned to the north, the conflict between the two sides gradually surfaced, and they no longer had the concerted efforts during the Battle of Red Cliffs. What's more, the fierce scene of Mrs. Sun and Liu Bei's quarrel a few days ago is still vivid in my mind.
At that time, someone in the hall once complained that Lei Xuzhi could not understand the difficulties of the Lord, and forced the Lord to the point of offending Wu Hou. In fact, if you put yourself in your shoes, what can Lei Xuzhi do? Isn’t the person who criticized Lei Xuzhi because he was afraid of the power of Wu Hou? He was forced by the Lei clan of Lujiang or by Wu Hou. Compared with the two, I really don’t know which one is more frustrating.
"It must be the means of the Eastern Wu." In the silence, Liao Li sneered without hesitation: "In my opinion, it should be the riot initiated by Zhou Lang. Zhou Lang, as the prefect of Nanjun, has some subordinates in Jingzhou. These people sneaked into Jingnan to make trouble, and deliberately avoided the wealth of Wu Hou's subordinates and Wu Hou's sister, so as not to be difficult to explain in the future. Hehe, this thought is cautious, but no one takes Wu Hou's sister-in-law seriously... Lord, your marriage is really not good..."
Liao Li had the ability to calculate and made very accurate judgments, so he was highly valued by Liu Bei. But he spoke without any scruples and said casually, as if he was ridiculing.
Yi Ji, who was sitting next to Liao Li, saw that Xuan Degong's face changed, and quickly pulled Liao Li's sleeves to avoid making him speak even more unbearable.
At the end of the queue, Ma Su was already sweating profusely, and felt that the air in the hall seemed to be frozen.
Liu Bei stood up calmly, took the military newspaper from Zhuge Liang, and gently put it back on the table. In an instant, two unexpected troubles had been confirmed to be deliberately framed for his allies. What this means, Liu Bei would not know. But Liu Bei had experienced too many storms, and the more he faced a complicated situation, his expression became more calm and calm, as if he had encountered minor things.
He turned around and sat down, held the desk with a little while to organize his words, and then slowly said, "Everyone, this is not a small matter after all, and we cannot ignore it. But we don't have to worry too much."
Everyone said together: "I wish to hear the lord's great views."
"I went to Jingkou to meet with the Marquis of Wu and his subordinates, and I felt that the ministers of Marquis of Wu were very different from the wise men of Jingzhou. My Jingzhou military mansion was united to control the invasion of the outside world. And the Eastern Wu... Sun clans were united, Jiangdong clans were united, and the old people of Huai and Si were united. During this period, all kinds of opinions seemed to be full of thoughts. It was like the things in front of me, or out of Zhou Lang's instructions; but I believe that Marquis of Wu's thoughts might not be like this. I should write to Marquis of Wu to explain the difficulties I had made in the past few days, and reiterate the need for the two alliances, and ask Marquis of Wu to restrain Zhou Lang a little."
He nodded to Zhuge Liang and said, "I also ask the military advisor to write a letter and urge Lu Zijing to come forward to mediate."
Zhuge Liang bowed and said that.
