The aunt frowned slightly as she watched Liu Zhang's sword-wielding skills. However, she was infected by Liu Zhang's sudden burst of heroic spirit. She stood up, and the jade face behind the gauze curtain smiled lightly and said to Liu Zhang: "Young master, with your arrogance, you will definitely achieve great things."
With great fame and great achievements, the little girl wishes the young master success, fame in the world, and the realization of his lifelong ambitions."
Liu Zhang returned the sword to its sheath and said loudly to his aunt: "I also wish that the girl can kill the enemy with her own hands as soon as possible."
Liu Zhang and Hao Sheng left the island early the next morning. Huangfu Xuan and his aunt did not see each other off. They only stood in the bamboo house and watched from a distance. The aunt looked at the five vigorous characters on the wall, which seemed to reveal the infinite determination of the owner, and looked towards the lake.
Get on the boat going away.
"This man has great ambitions and good intentions. Unfortunately, he is jealous of talents. I hope that when we meet again in the future, I can play a piece of music for him."
The aunt took off the gauze hat on her head, revealing a beautiful and refined jade face. It was Xiao Furong's senior sister Qu Lingchen.
"Auntie, are you still planning to take revenge?" Huangfu Xuan understood the meaning of Qu Lingchen's words and wanted to leave the island.
"Never give up."
"Alas." Huangfu Xuan sighed. Although he was Qu Lingchen's nephew, a man in his seventies could see things more clearly than Qu Lingchen. He said slowly: "I have a disciple.
I have been his master for a few days. His name is Zhou Buyi. He has extraordinary knowledge. Since he went to Yizhou, he has never come back. I believe that where he can live, his master Liu Zhang will never be a cruel and unscrupulous person.
people."
"Why are you all speaking for him?"
Anger appeared on Qu Lingchen's face. Thinking back, his aunt Huang Yue, junior sister Xiao Furong, and even Huangfu Xuan now spoke for Liu Zhang. The fact that Liu Zhang killed innocent people indiscriminately was in front of him. The hatred of exterminating the family was irreconcilable, but it was himself.
How could Qu Lingchen not be angry when the people closest to him opposed him.
"I'm worried about my aunt's safety."
"I don't need you to worry. Liu Zhang has already arrived in Jingnan. I said at the beginning that if Liu Zhang didn't come out of Sichuan, I would spare his life. Now that he has come out, no one can blame me."
After Qu Lingchen finished speaking, he returned to the inner room. Huangfu Xuan looked towards the lake in the direction where Liu Zhang's boat disappeared, sighed and shook his head.
When Liu Zhang returned to Hanshou, he received good news. Yan Yan led two thousand soldiers and horses to capture Lingling, which was unguarded. Now Liu Zhang had captured two of the four counties in Jingnan, and Changsha You County, Zhang Yi and Jin
The situation is tense and the food and grass are cut off. It is a turtle in a urn, and only Guiyang is left.
Guiyang faces Shanyue in the southeast, Jiangdong in the northeast, and the throat of Jingnan in the east. It is a must-take place.
On the eve of the expedition, Liu Zhang stood in front of the government office and looked at the night scene quietly. He was about to leave for the expedition tomorrow, but Liu Zhang remembered the tranquility on the island, with the canoe playing the piano and the flowers blooming in the garden.
As you embark on a journey, all these things will become further and further away from you.
"The young master's arrogance will surely lead to great success and great achievements. The young lady wishes the young master success, prestige in the world, and the realization of his lifelong ambitions."
The woman's words echoed in his ears again. Liu Zhang seemed to regain his fighting spirit and clenched his fists. Fazheng walked from a distance and was slightly startled when he saw Liu Zhang's suddenly determined expression.
"Lord, two pieces of bad news." Fazheng bowed.
"explain."
"Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, heard that his lord defeated Liu Pan, so he ordered the Jingzhou soldiers who had returned to Yiling from Zigui to go south. The number may be tens of thousands. However, before the expedition, his subordinates had already given instructions to Wei Yan. If we take Jingnan, he
We should go straight to the public security from the belly of the fish and cut off the southward route of the Jingzhou army. If Wei Yan follows his plan, he will be able to win us over to capture Guiyang and Changsha."
"What about the second bad news?"
"Sun Ce from Jiangdong heard about the chaos in Jingnan, and ordered his younger brother Sun Yi and general Tai Shici to send troops to Chaisangkou, overlooking Guiyang, intending to take advantage of the battle in Jingnan. Maybe Jiangdong's army will attack Guiyang in Changsha
When the troops left Jingnan, there was a yellow bird behind them. In other words, we must take the remaining two counties as quickly as possible, otherwise Sun Ce would swallow up Jingnan and our Western Shu army would become a joke.
"
"What a good oriole behind." Liu Zhang stood with his hands behind his hands, the night wind blowing on his face, and sneered at Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, you don't understand Sun Ce very well, let alone Sun Ce's sworn brother Zhou Yu. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are heroes in this world.
They all have the world in mind, and everyone knows that Sun Ce wants to take advantage of the confrontation between Cao and Yuan to attack Xuchang, and Sun Ce did not hide his intention to mobilize the army. At this moment, he suddenly sent his younger brother and the first general in Jiangdong, Tai Shici, to Guiyang, a hundred miles away.
Chaisangkou, extraneous problems arise, does Sun Ce just want Jingnan?"
"What do you mean, lord?"
"If my prediction is correct, what Sun Ce really wants to profit from is the entire Jingzhou, especially Jingzhou's 200,000 naval troops. Although Liu Biao has no great ambitions, he has the talent to protect himself. He has built a large naval army to defend against the northern princes.
and the Sun family in Jiangdong, but he did not expect that our Shu army would leave Yizhou. The Jingzhou navy was strong and the infantry was weak. The only one in the world who could capture Jingzhou was our Shu army. Without us, the Shu army would go overland.
, Cao Cao and Sun Ce will never be able to get their hands on Jingxiang.
Sun Ce just wants to use us to defeat the infantry in Jingzhou and then annex Jingxiang by land. With my reputation, it is impossible for Jingzhou Navy Commander Cai Mao and general Zhang Yun and Huang Zu to surrender. Sun Ce has already made his wishful thinking.
, look at the location of Chaisangkou, it is a position to support the Jingzhou Navy. Once we defeat the Jingzhou Infantry, the Jingzhou Navy will have no choice but to seek refuge in Jiangdong. At that time, Sun Ce will raise an army to devour Jingxiang.
Let us marry others. Losing one Jingnan is not a joke. If we fight for several months and lose the entire Jingzhou, it will truly make the world laugh."
"Sun's intentions are sinister." Fazheng also realized it. He not only admired Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's heroic strategy, but also hated it with gnashing of teeth.
Liu Zhang let out a long breath and said slowly: "Xiaozhi, since we raised the army, destroyed Zhao Wei, killed Pang Xi, fought in Hanzhong, and left Jingnan, all we met were ordinary people. In today's troubled times, there are so many heroes in the world. Sun Ce
Zhou Yu is just the first group of heroes we met, and the road ahead will be even more difficult."
Fazheng, however, disagreed and raised his head and said: "In today's world, although there are many heroes, heroes are few and far between. Your lord has great talents and great strategies. Difficulties and dangers are just like stepping on a flat river. No matter how heroic you are, they are nothing more than ants under a chariot. Your lord will surely be able to bring peace to the troubled times and help him."
The Han Dynasty."
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Let's think about the next step. No matter whether Sun Ce is trying to conquer Jingnan or Jingzhou, we must take Guiyang Changsha as quickly as possible, return to the police, and fight the Jingzhou army decisively.
If we win, we will have a duel with the Jiangdong Army. In both battles, our chances of winning are no more than 50%, but we must fight with all our strength. My intention is that Zhang Ren will stay in Hanshou, and I will personally lead 3,000 troops out of Guiyang.
We must defeat the Zhao brothers within ten days."
At this moment, suddenly a general came over, but it was Han Xuan. Han Xuan greeted Liu Zhang loudly: "Han Xuan came to see the lord. I heard that the lord wants to take Guiyang, Changsha. I still have some influence in Changsha."
I will force myself to invite three thousand troops to come out of You County and Linxiang. If I can't defeat Jin Xuan Zhang Yi, I am willing to serve as a military commander."
