The army stood quietly, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao sat opposite each other at the tea table. Their horses were not tied up, sniffing the grass on the ground at will, and snorting from time to time.
Liu Biao was covered in dirt and green sticky grass, which he kept wiping on his seat. Liu Zhang stuck his sword on the ground and drank tea while quietly looking at his twilight brother.
"Brother, I'm very clean. This is a war, so there's no harm in sticking some dirt on it. But Jingxiang is approaching Xuchang, Cao Cao killed the imperial concubine and threatened the emperor. We, the royal family members, don't want to save him, and our hearts will never be wiped clean again.
.”
Liu Biao carefully wiped off the dirt on his body and sat up straight, but he didn't realize that there was still a patch on his face. He said with a big painted face: "Ji Yu has been living in Yizhou, why are you violating my jurisdiction?"
?”
His voice sounded old. Liu Biao was very scared when he first started riding. But after he fell, although he was embarrassed, his fear was reduced a lot, and now he can speak smoothly.
"Have I not made it clear enough? You betrayed the royal family and indulged traitors. Shouldn't I punish you?" Liu Zhang sipped his tea and glanced sideways at the shorter and shorter shadow of the sword stuck on the ground.
"My dear brother, please don't bully me." Liu Biao waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "I have led Jingzhou for ten years. Not to mention I have worked hard and worked hard without complaint. It's just that I am old and frail and don't want to fight anymore. What kind of person is Cao Cao?
I can't control it, but I can say something serious to you, Brother Wei, in terms of protecting the land and the people, I have done it in the past ten years. Jingzhou is already the most prosperous state in the world and a place where culture gathers. If it weren't for my brother
If we lead the troops here, Jingzhou will not be in the miserable situation it is today."
"Are you going to make a wedding dress for a traitor?" Liu Zhang raised his eyelids and asked Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was speechless with a simple sentence. No matter how much Liu Biao said about his merits, he still couldn't deny his gradually cooling heart. This was the fundamental reason why he had been governing Jingzhou with peace of mind, armed with 400,000 troops but ignored the Central Plains. As a
As a member of the royal family, Liu Biao could not use the excuse of being a wealthy people to excuse him from sitting back and watching the emperor suffer.
In the end, it was because I was too weak,
Feeling guilty and having nothing to say, Liu Zhang smiled inwardly and took the initiative to talk to him at the tea table, but he had nothing to say. Liu Biao was still immersed in his own thoughts and seemed to have forgotten that he was in the middle of a war.
"Brother, can you show me your sword?" Liu Zhang asked.
Liu Biao handed the sword he had placed on the table to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang took the sword, held it horizontally in the air, and pulled out the sword with force. He felt that there was a lot of stuff stuffed inside, and there was a "chuck" sound that hurt the eardrums.
The sword was unsheathed, but it was already stained with rust, and some rust dust fell on Liu Zhang's knees.
Liu Zhang didn't say anything. He returned the sword to its sheath and threw it to Liu Biao. It made a "snap" sound on the table in front of Liu Biao. Liu Biao's face turned green and white, and he remained silent.
"The sword is rusted like this. Brother Jing Sheng, it's not that you can't control it, it's because you never thought about it. The garrison in Xuchang is less than 10,000, and you have 400,000 in armor. The overall situation can be decided at your fingertips. Think of Jiangdong.
The reckless Sun Ce still wants to lead a sneak attack on Xuchang with five thousand soldiers. You have the blood of Emperor Gaozu flowing in your body. Why can you bear to bully his descendants after being eunuchs?
It's fine that you are old and frail and don't want to move. I sent all my troops from Western Shu to ask you for a way to defeat Cao Cao, but you refused. What are your intentions? Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
"Your Excellency, is it really for the purpose of defeating Cao Cao?"
"hey-hey."
Liu Zhang's expression changed from a stern expression to a smile. He chuckled and whispered to Liu Biao: "I said yes, do you believe it?"
"Do not believe."
"Hey, I don't believe it either."
Liu Zhang, who was lazily leaning on the table, straightened up, his expression became serious, he stared at Liu Biao and said slowly and forcefully: "But I tell you, no matter what the reason for my attack on Jingzhou is, I will definitely save the emperor.
The Han Dynasty will definitely be rebuilt, a brand new Han Dynasty, Liu Biao, you are one of the most powerful princes in the world, but also the most cowardly prince, do you think you are worthy of occupying the land of Jingzhou?"
"You are just doing it for your own dominance."
"So what? My hegemony is tied to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. My hegemony is the hegemony of the Han Dynasty. Can you, like you, be trapped in Jingzhou and have a pure heart and few desires, and be able to save the Han Dynasty?"
The two were fighting each other, and Liu Zhang suddenly relaxed, glanced at the rusty sword on the table, and said to Liu Biao: "Otherwise, we will see the real results on the battlefield."
Liu Biao looked at Liu Zhang and was stunned for a long time. Although he knew that Liu Zhang's words just now were to intimidate him, the sentence: "Can you save the Han Dynasty by being trapped in Jingzhou and being pure and free of desires?" It still penetrated his heart. He himself had also done so.
I once had great ambitions, but they were slowly worn away by singing and dancing in Jingzhou, and by reciting poems and composing poems with literati. Now it seems that my heart has died, but in my heart, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, I have never
I don’t want to restore the Han Dynasty.
Liu Zhang stood up as he spoke. Liu Biao glanced at Liu Zhang's sword stuck on the ground. The shadow had turned into a small dot, slowly tilting to the east. He then stood up and begged: "Brother, sit down and say, sit down and say
.”
Liu Biao sat down and sighed: "Actually, my dear brother, I have thought about these words..."
Liu Zhang followed Liu Biao's gaze, glanced at the shadow on the ground, smiled slightly, sat down again, and listened meaningfully to Liu Biao's "statement of his mood."
Xu Shu covered his eyes with his hands and glanced at the sun in the sky. He nodded with satisfaction and said to Cai Mao beside him: "General Cai, restrain your troops. When the Sichuan army attacks, the two wings must be guarded and defended. No one is allowed to take a step back without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order
cut."
"I know, I know." Cai Mao replied impatiently. Cai Zhong stepped on his horse's hoof lightly, moved a step over, and said to Cai Mao: "Brother, what is Xu Shu doing? He asked us to guard the two wings. What will the Chinese army do?
"
"Are you born stupid or are you stupid in later life?" Cai Hao said angrily: "This Xu Shu is clearly ostracizing us. He will guard the two wings later. I want to see how long his army can last." Cai Hao remembered his sister Cai's words and only
Being able to swallow his anger temporarily, he had already thought of a hundred ways to torture Xu Shu after the war.
"Oh, oh." Cai Zhong nodded hurriedly.
When the Sichuan army formed a large formation, Fazheng said to Zhang Ren: "Give me the order to move all the shield bearers to the front and mix them with the 20,000 elite Dongzhou soldiers."
"What? Isn't that a chaos of formation?" Zhang Ren looked confused. This was completely inconsistent with the art of war. If you want to be overwhelming, the forwards should arrange cavalry. If you want to advance slowly, the long shield bearers should be in front, and the rear team should also be equipped with round shields, like
Fa Zheng was like this, all the shield hands were moved to the front and mixed with the Dongzhou soldiers, which not only slowed down the attack speed, but also lost the protective effect of the shield.
"Don't worry so much, go down and deliver the order." Fazheng said calmly.
