Chapter 172 I am happy here and don’t miss Jingzhou!
Cao Cao was defeated, leaving Cao Ren and Xu Huang to guard Jiangling.
As long as Jiangling is not lost, Cao Cao's power can still extend to Jingzhou.
"Cao Zixiao, this turtle bastard!"
Zhou Tai cursed angrily: "Fortunately, he is still a famous general in Cao Ying, but he only knows how to hide in the city and never come out!"
Jiang Qin and Dong Xi looked unhappy. Jiangdong's army attacked Jiangling and encountered a lot of resistance.
Zhou Yu's 30,000 elite troops are all mainly naval forces.
Once on land, it is like a fish without water, it is difficult to breathe, let alone conquer a city.
"Captain!"
Lu Meng cupped his fists and said, "I said before that Liu Bei will be responsible for the land war! In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated and Liu Bei did not order anyone to chase him!"
"Now that our army is attacking Jiangling, we should let them contribute!"
Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng, who quickly lowered his head.
"You want to take advantage? Zhuge Kongming, Pang Shiyuan, and Xu Yuanzhi are all my junior brothers. Wouldn't I understand?"
Zhou Yu sneered: "You dare to ask them to send troops to capture Jiangling or not, but they dare not leave?"
this……
Lu Meng obviously underestimated the shamelessness of Zhuge Liang and the others.
"But our soldiers are not good at attacking cities..."
"Training!"
Zhou Yu said categorically: "This is such a good opportunity to cross the north bank and train troops for the Northern Expedition!"
"If you want to dominate the world and conquer the Central Plains, how can you only train in the navy?"
"You have fought so hard, how can you underestimate the heroes of the world?"
When Zhou Yu asked, all the generals bowed their heads and remained silent. At least in their minds, they had never thought about winning the Central Plains.
Now they all have their own roles, which is equivalent to a class leap.
Just like Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, they suddenly changed from water thieves that everyone shouted to beat, to Sun Quan's favorite generals, owning land and tribes.
"well!"
Zhou Yu sighed, his throat felt sweet, and he had to hold back so he didn't cough up.
"Continue to attack the city! If we don't break Jiangling, we will never return!"
"Yes, Governor!"
…
Zhou Yu was training troops, and Liu Bei was not idle either.
Zhuge Liang returned to Jiangxia and followed Liu Mang's instructions to attack the rural areas of the county where Cao's army was weak.
The men sent were all new recruits, while those who were veterans of many battles were retained for other purposes.
In addition to new recruits, there are also generals who need to be sharpened.
"Li Yan, Xing Daorong, you two will lead a thousand men to sweep away Cao Cao's army!"
"Huo Jun, Xia Houlan, you two command a thousand people and must sweep away the bandits near Guiyang!"
"Wei Yan, Ma Su, you two will use a thousand men to defeat the bandits near Changsha!"
Zhuge Liang's allocation has its own considerations.
For example, Li Yan is very resourceful and decisive, while Xing Daorong is brave and courageous. When the two of them work together, they complement each other.
"Military advisor! How can an ordinary bandit employ a thousand men?"
Wei Yan has always been arrogant, and neither Li Yan nor Huo Jun is looked down upon by him.
Even if it was Ma Su, if the other party was not someone Liu Mang valued, he would push him out.
"Oh? What does the author mean by that?"
"With only five hundred, I can wipe out the bandits in Changsha and let the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
Seeing Wei Yan's big words, Ma Di could only help.
"Ahem! Don't worry, Mr. Zhuge, I will assist General Wei..."
Before he finished speaking, Xing Daorong's broken gong voice was heard.
"Wei Wenchang! Don't be arrogant! You want five hundred, and we want four hundred! Zhengfang, don't you think so?"
Li Yan is a little confused. You, Xing Daorong, have already boasted about your awesomeness. Why are you asking me now?
"Then I'll give you three hundred!"
Wei Yan looked down upon him, saying that Xing Daorong's martial arts skills were acceptable, but he was definitely not as good as him in leading an army in battle.
"Chang Wen, five hundred people, I, Huo Jun, want to compete with you!"
Huo Jun knelt down and said: "Military advisor, I am willing to fight with Xia Houjun and his 500 men!"
Seeing the quarrel among the generals, Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and thought to himself: "This is what the young master calls involution!"
As a military advisor, you must not laugh!
"Alright! Zhengfang, Zhongmiao, and Wenchang! Each of you will lead five hundred people forward!"
"Xing Daorong, Xia Houlan, Ma Di! You three must be a good help!"
The generals each looked at each other, then snorted coldly and took the order and left.
"Sir, all the rising stars of the big man are rolled up!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan slightly, his thoughts drifting to Jiangdong.
…
Jianye.
Sun Quan finally knows what a dandy is!
Liu Mang's current life is even more elegant than that of the Marquis of Wu.
There is no need to think about state affairs at all, just get up at three o'clock in the morning, that's all.
He took Lu Xun and Zhao Yun directly to his Wuhou Mansion!
After getting up and having a meal, we went sightseeing with Sun Shangxiang.
Only under the supervision of Zhao Yun and Lu Xun in the afternoon, Liu Mang practiced shooting and shooting symbolically.
As for the evening, it’s a barbecue party!
The elders of Guotaiguo said that the meat Liu Mang had roasted was good!
"Liu Changqing, when I saw how carefree you were, I couldn't help but let you go back to Jingzhou to suffer! Haha!"
Sun Quan raised his glass during the banquet and looked at Liu Mang, who was said to be not a womanizer.
In addition to Sun Shangxiang, two maids, Ziyun and Qingluo, were also serving him.
"Zi Yun, clap your left hand and drink water!"
"Qing Luo, pat your right leg and wipe your mouth!"
"Aren, give me a kiss, you damn ghost!"
Sun Quan was furious, "Are you not a womanizer?"
"Zhongmou, do you think the relationship between Aren and Changqing is so good?"
Wu Guotai smiled and said: "If we get married as soon as possible, I can also hold my grandson!"
Qiao Guolao nodded and said: "What the Queen said is true! Wu Hou may wish to think about it! I heard that Lu Gongji is the best at predicting auspicious times!"
Sun Quan was a little angry, but Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Wu Hou, if you can allow the young master to return to Jingzhou, Zhao Yun will be grateful!"
Zhao Yun realized that something was wrong. Lu Xun had devised many ways to escape, but the young master liked to stay in Jiangdong and even turned a deaf ear to what the two of them said!
"Commander Zhuge, if you are unsure about something, please ask me, Sir?"
"Now the young master has fallen!"
Sun Quan originally wanted to prevent his sister from getting married, but after hearing what Zhao Yun said, he realized that there seemed to be some gap between the monarch and his ministers!
"Liu Changqing, I heard that you are extremely filial, don't you miss Uncle Liu?"
"I am so happy here that I don't miss Jingzhou! Mr. Guotai is my family!"
Liu Mang toasted to celebrate, not caring about the sad faces of Zhao Yun and Lu Xun.
"Wu Hou!"
Zhang Zhao whispered: "The princess and Liu Mang can be married quickly, so that Zhao Yun and Lu Xun will be separated from each other!"
Wonderful!
Sun Quan laughed and said: "What Mr. Zibu said is true! But at Liu Changqing's age, can his body really bear it?"
Zhang Zhao chuckled and said: "As long as she can experience happiness, it will be difficult to let go! There is no need for the princess to go into battle in person, Ziyun Qingluo is good!"
Zhao Yun clasped his fists in salute and looked at Liu Mang, his eyes full of worry.
Although the young master is not seeking death now, he is no different from a walking zombie!
"Lu Gongji! You choose a good and auspicious day so that Liu Mang and Aren can get married as soon as possible!"
"I, Sun Zhongmou, have a good sister-in-law!"
Liu Mang raised his glass and drank again, already a little tipsy.
"Liu Changqing, just indulge in this beauty trap set by me!"
Zhang Zhao sneered and said: "Wu Hou, please ask your wife to go and test it!"
