Liu Zhang sat in front of the desk, calmed down for a while, pointed to a drawer and said: "Rong'er, take out the drawings inside."
Liu Zhang looked at the map with the terrain of Jingnan. Xiao Furong went to pour a cup of tea. Seeing that Liu Zhang was still a little uncomfortable, she frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "It would be great if Sister Yue was here, she could help my husband."
, unlike Ronger, who knows nothing."
Liu Zhang forced a smile: "I'm fine. By the way, Ronger, can you sing?"
"Singing?" Xiao Furong shook her head: "I don't know the songs of the Han people. I can only sing a folk song of our Miao family."
"That's good, sing it to me." Liu Zhang needed something to distract himself now.
Xiao Furong bit her lip and finally spoke softly: the moon is half crescent, the jade powder is condensed, the moon is halfway over the mountain, the moon is white and the wind is light...
Xiao Furong sang the Miao family's famous song "Moon in the Mountains". The lyrics mainly talked about a hunter returning home at dusk and his comfortable mood under the moonlight. The song had already spread to Han Dynasty, but Liu Zhang had only heard it in Chinese.
Xiao Furong sang a cappella in Miao dialect. Liu Zhang never knew that Xiao Furong had such a beautiful and clear voice.
Following Xiao Furong's melodious singing, Liu Zhang felt as if he was halfway up the mountain, holding a dry pipe in his hand, leaning against a big tree, bathing in the moonlight... All the discomfort disappeared instantly.
After Xiao Furong finished singing, she looked at Liu Zhang uneasily, fearing that her singing was not good and would aggravate Liu Zhang's troubles. Liu Zhang looked at Xiao Furong's smooth face, stroked the back of her smooth hands, and said with guilt: "
Ronger, I will definitely arrange our marriage for you."
Liu Pan Military Camp, You County, Changsha.
Liu Pan paced back and forth, then turned back and asked the soldier who reported the news in disbelief: "Are you sure Liu Zhang is leading the army himself?"
A soldier in the hall half knelt and said loudly: "I am sure that yesterday morning, Liu Zhang killed more than a thousand men from wealthy families and more than 20 officials at the Guanjia Dam in Wuling, and rewarded the women of wealthy families to his soldiers.
The powerful Wuling clan was almost wiped out."
"That's unreasonable." Liu Pan punched the table angrily: "Liu Zhang doesn't take me, Liu Pan, seriously. He has 80,000 troops in the belly of the fish, but he dares to expedition to Jingnan with less than 10,000 people."
, does he think that the 50,000 troops under my command, Liu Pan, are vegetarians?"
A handsome general stood up and said: "Brother, this Liu Zhang is acting perversely. He killed people to establish his authority before taking Wuling. He committed massacres on New Year's Eve. Such cruelty will not last long. The Sichuan army came from far away alone, and our army was five times the number."
The enemy is an elite soldier who has fought many battles, and this time we will definitely make sure that the butcher of Yizhou never comes back."
This person was Liu Pan's sworn brother Chen Qin. When Liu Pan was defeated in the battle against Jingzhou's tycoons and almost died, it was Chen Qin who saved Liu Pan. Liu Pan and Chen Qin became brothers of life and death out of gratitude.
"The Second Young Master is right." A veteran general in his fifties with a rosy face stood up and said with great enthusiasm: "As long as the eldest Young Master gives me Huang Zhong ten thousand soldiers and horses, I will take Liu Zhang's head and offer it to the Young Master's tent."
"No." Liu Pan raised his hand and said: "Old General Huang is so powerful that he is a barrier that intimidates Zhang Yi in Changsha. If the old general leaves, Zhang Yi will definitely take the opportunity to raise troops, Han Xuan."
"The last general is here." A very elegant general came out in response.
"I order you to lead an army of 30,000 people to Wuling. If you can win, you will be the governor of Changsha after Changsha is pacified. If you can take Liu Zhang's head, I will ask my lord to go to the emperor and make you a general and a marquis."
"Thank you, eldest son." Han Xuan agreed loudly and went out to order troops.
Chen Qin said to Liu Pan: "Brother, although Liu Zhang has a small number of troops, he has general Zhang Renyan, who is more capable of making plans. The barbarian soldiers are fierce by nature. The Dongzhou soldiers trained by Zhang Ren are in Brazil. From the perspective of the two battles in Hanzhong, they are even more powerful."
He is extremely elite, can Han Xuan be Liu Zhang's opponent?"
Liu Pandao: "Although Han Xuan is not a good general, he is cautious in his actions. He commands 30,000 Jingzhou elites. Most of his enemies are untrained barbarians. If he fights steadily, even if Liu Zhang is Han Xin, he will not be able to defeat him with 10,000 soldiers. Alas.
.”
Liu Pan said and sighed: "Originally, such a great contribution should be given to you, my second brother, but Han Xuan is a wealthy family in Changsha. Apart from Zhang Zhongjing, Han Xuan has the greatest influence. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhongjing is ignorant of current affairs. After several invitations from the lord, he went to join Liu Zhang.
Now if Changsha is captured, the governor of Changsha must be Han Xuan. In order to appease the soldiers, I have to give him some credit."
Chen Qin pondered for a moment and said loudly: "The elder brother has good intentions, and the younger brother can understand it."
"My lord, should you think about it again? Han Xuan's army is coming, and his men are all soldiers from Jingzhou who have fought many battles. We should avoid their sharp edges and hold on to wait for changes."
After Liu Zhang received the military report of Han Xuan's troops, he immediately led his army out of Wuling and headed towards Han Xuan's army. Zhang Ren and other generals were very worried about this.
"Our army has traveled thousands of miles and penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. We must fight quickly and decide quickly. As time goes by, we may be the first to change. General Zhang need not say more." Liu Zhang once again rejected the advice of Zhang Ren and others.
The army camped west of the Yuanshui River. The soldiers came to report that Han Xuan's army had crossed the Xiangshui and reached the border between Hunan and Hunan. Fa Zheng and Liu Zhang studied the battle plan together. Fa Zheng said with some worry: "My lord, at the current speed, Han Xuan's army will take five days at most."
We can reach Yuanshui. Does my lord really have a perfect plan?"
Liu Zhang looked at the map and said: "Where is the complete strategy? It is just to appease the morale of the army. When we went to Brazil, I said that if we take such a road to unify the world, we have to take risks from time to time.
If we win the bet, we will keep going. If we lose the bet, we will not die."
"Yes." Fazheng sighed: "Actually, I sometimes think that if we choose not to be enemies with the wealthy families, but to win over them and use our lords and talents, it would be much easier for us to unify the world.
.”
Liu Zhang smiled brightly and said in a long voice: "There is no chance to regret it now, but this time the situation is not that bad. As the saying goes, everything depends on God and people decide. I have carefully analyzed all the intelligence and checked the map for several days.
Formulate a strategy and see if it is feasible."
Liu Zhang pointed to the map and said: "Our location is west of the Yuan River. To the east of the Yuan River is the Yema Slope, which is more than ten miles in radius. When Han Xuan's army comes, they must go down the Yema Slope. We can intercept and store water in the upper reaches of the Yuan River. If
The Jingzhou army crossed the river and dug up the embankment."
Fazheng looked at the map, then at Liu Zhang, and said blankly: "My lord, are you kidding me? Now in the middle of winter, the water flow of Yuanshui has dropped significantly. Even if the water is stored, the water potential is not large. How can it be flooded?
If Han Xuan's 30,000-strong army is defeated, and if the army reaches a river, we must send out scouts. Unless Han Xuan doesn't know the art of war, he will be able to see through it easily."
After hearing what Fazheng said, Liu Zhang pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Xiaozhi, you are too direct, can't you show some mercy to me?"
When Fazheng saw Liu Zhang's smiling expression and then looked at the map, he suddenly realized: "My lord is far-sighted and my subordinates admire him."
