"Report, a letter written by Zhuge Liang in Longzhong to Mr.
Xu Shu and Li Yan stood on the wall, watching anxiously as the Sichuan army gathered their troops and horses in the distance and drove back to the camp. Not long after the Sichuan army retreated, a messenger came in and presented a letter.
Xu Shu took it, read it with two eyes, read it again, and sighed deeply.
Li Yan asked: "Sir, what is written in the letter?"
Xu Shu shook his head: "It's nothing. Zhuge Kongming left Jingzhou. A generation of geniuses, Jingran, was also forced to leave his hometown by Liu Zhang butcher. What's the matter?"
Zhuge Liang's departure also means that Zhuge Ci and the Zhuge family have given up on Jingzhou.
Xu Shu was actually sighing. Zhuge Liang left, why did he still stand here? Liu Biao had just sent in to criticize him again. Xu Shu sent troops to attack Yan Yan's camp. He originally thought that the Sichuan army's bows and arrows were hit, so they could make some gains, but he didn't expect Yan Yan's camp.
Yan sent his troops to shoot a batch of wounded arrows first, which were not strong enough to penetrate the armor, and lured the Jingzhou soldiers to penetrate deeper. In the end, more than 3,000 of them were wiped out, and General Kan Kui was also beheaded by Yan Yan.
When Liu Biao knew the news, he not only sent troops to criticize him, but also asked for troops. He said that he sent troops without authorization because there were more troops in ancient Xiangyang, but he didn't know that Xu Shu wanted to defend Xiangyang. The ancient Xiangyang city was shorter than Xiangyang city, but its military strength was only
Half of Xiangyang was allocated, so that it was attacked by the Sichuan army every day and suffered terribly.
At that time, Li Yan wanted to draw his sword against Wang Can, the envoy sent by Liu Biao, but Xu Shu stopped him. Xu Shu felt that he was now numb to Liu Biao's accusation.
Xu Shu politely refused the order to mobilize troops, and Wang Can left angrily.
"Sichuan Army Company
I attack the city. After Yaoqing City is conquered, it will be difficult for Xiangyang to be saved. Is Mr. Sichuan Army still fighting for the company?
Are you worried about attacking?" Li Yan didn't know Zhuge Liang. In his opinion, he was no more than a famous scholar in Xiangyang, certainly far worse than Xu Shu. What he was more worried about was the defense of the city.
Xu Shu shook his head, sighed and said: "The Sichuan army is brave. Gu Xiangyang can be worried about day and night, but it is not difficult to hold on. According to my estimation, the rain will continue for a while."
Son, when the city wall is dry, I will get some more
Son, between the seasonal rains and the real heavy rain season, we are in the most danger. Zhengfang, you go rectify the strong men and servants of the noble families in the city, and step up their training. They will be our reserve team."
"yes."
"As for the heavy rain season, it is impossible to attack the city. The Sichuan army is likely to divert the Han River to attack. The terrain of Xiangyang City is relatively high, so there is nothing to worry about. However, there were still hidden dangers in Xiangyang in ancient times. Fortunately, more reservoirs and flood storage ditches were built in previous generations.
, you bring it in and clear it carefully."
"Yes, what about after the heavy rain season?" Li Yan asked.
"After the heavy rain season?" Xu Shu laughed a few times, "After the heavy rain season, the Sichuan army will have no food. This year's seasonal rains have been fierce and fierce. Many sections of the Yangtze River in Xiangjiang have burst their banks. I heard that all the food and grass in Jiangling have been taken away by Liu Zhang.
In addition to relieving the victims, Huang Zhong also killed several wealthy families in Jiangling. Other wealthy families were also frightened. After the heavy rains, the Sichuan soldiers would not only grab grain, but Yizhou's grain and grass would never be able to withstand Liu Zhang's 100,000-strong army."
Liu Zhang pacified the north of the Yangtze River. Except for the Xiangjiang area, the people basically did not follow him. Some small towns and towns still carried Liu Biao's flag. If the Sichuan army wanted to transport grain from Yuwei Pass, it would not only have to climb mountains, but there would also be banditry along the way.
There was a military crisis, and the supply line was so far away, what could Liu Zhang do.
However, when Xu Shu thought of this, he couldn't help but have complicated thoughts in his mind. The disaster relief operation in the Yangtze and Xiangjiang rivers could be said to have greatly saved Liu Zhang's reputation. Although the essence has not changed, ordinary people have become suspicious of the propaganda of the clan.
What kind of person is Liu Zhang? After Jiangling provided grain and grass relief to the victims, the Sichuan army's supply line was stretched. Liu Zhang Fazheng didn't know this, so why did he insist on doing it? Does the so-called butcher have mercy on the world?
"At that time, the Sichuan army will have no choice but to retreat to Jiangling and form a confrontation with us. Jingnan will be devastated by the Sichuan army and will not be able to collect taxes. The families in Jiangling will also defy Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang's regime in Jingzhou is a sham.
On the empty shell, we can counterattack in a year at most.
Liu Zhang did many unjust things, and Jiangdong's heroes hated him. This time we asked Jiangdong's army for help. We originally wanted to paralyze Liu Zhang, but we didn't expect that Liu Zhang would see through it. Now Jiangdong's army will only come to take advantage. When the time comes, we will fight with Jiangdong's army.
If we attack the Sichuan Army together, the Sichuan Army will inevitably be defeated and retreat to Yizhou."
"When the time comes, sir, I will repel Jiangdong's army and regain Jingzhou, my name will be passed down to my descendants and leave a name in history." Li Yan bowed to Xu Shu and said excitedly.
Xu Shu gave a bitter laugh and shook his head: "When the time comes, I will retire and return home. I can't control the Jiangdong Army and I don't want to care about it anymore."
One year, Xu Shu silently counted, he was very tired now, every day he dreamed that he was tired, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He envied Zhuge Liang how he could leave whenever he wanted, and when he defeated the Sichuan army, he would complete his career.
Let’s complete the mission and repay Sima Hui’s favor.
Xu Shu no longer wanted to participate in the warlords' campaigns.
What's more, this year was the best result of Xu Shu's calculation. Just because Liu Zhang could see through his plan, it means that the Sichuan army is capable of entering. Will Liu Zhang honestly follow his plan step by step?
Li Yan was silent. Xu Shu now wanted to go back to the mountains and forests, but he still wanted to show his ambition. Otherwise, why would he have learned so much from Xu Shu?
The drizzle in Wollongong gradually extinguished the fire in the thatched cottage, leaving only a wet ashes.
Huang Yueying turned her head and saw Liu Zhang holding the mud on her buttocks, and she was a little angry. Others thought she was ugly, but the ugly girl herself didn't seem to think that it was an unforgivable insult for Liu Zhang to react so violently when he heard that she was going to marry him.
"Why, judging by appearance? I am a smart person." Huang Yueying snorted.
"Before I met you, I really didn't know that I had a problem with judging by appearance." Liu Zhang picked up the mud on his buttocks, wiped it clean on the grass, and continued to touch it. His buttocks were ice cold and wet against his flesh.
Very uncomfortable.
"What did you say……"
"No, it's nothing, Huizhong, Huizhong."
"Then you are willing to marry me?"
"I'll go back and ask my mother... It's getting late. I'll leave first. There are still military affairs to deal with."
Liu Zhang stood up in a hurry. He really couldn't stand it anymore. He had been in this era for almost a year, and he had never encountered such an overwhelming opponent. He was about to leave ruthlessly when Huang Yueying suddenly shouted and pointed into the distance:
"look."
Liu Zhang looked around and saw a large number of animals migrating in the mountains and forests in the distance. It was a natural spectacle.
Huang Yueying looked at those animals, her eyes full of beautiful yearning, and said impassionedly: "The western border of Jingxiang has a pleasant scenery. It is the birthplace of animals. This is the remaining range of the Dabie Mountains and the place where Shennongjia trees gather grass. Every summer solstice and winter meet,
A large number of animals are migrating, and this year's seasonal rains are particularly strong, so there will be even more animals migrating. If I know that young man's mountain-hugging curse, I will definitely be able to eat meat..."
"Jingzhou is a good place, with good mountains, good water, and beautiful scenery. My father and I drive cattle and sheep. We will have a full harvest next year..." Huang Yueying started singing as she spoke.
Liu Zhang had a black hair, and poor Shennongjia was sung like this by Huang Yueying. All the beauty and mystery disappeared in an instant. Liu Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly got up and bowed to Huang Yueying: "Girl, you have already changed from
After recovering from his grief, Liu Zhang was greatly relieved. It was already too late to die, so Liu Zhang took his leave."
Liu Zhang stood up, pulled the wet robe clinging to his buttocks, turned around and left.
"Hey." Huang Yueying shouted.
"Farewell, don't see me off." Liu Zhang hurriedly called his soldiers to come down the mountain.
"Listen to me when I finish singing... Listen to me when I finish telling my story... Remember to marry me..."
Huang Yueying watched Liu Zhang go down the mountain, and when the last soldier turned the corner, she suddenly smiled happily and started singing again while humming in her mouth.
Liu Zhang led his soldiers down the mountain. The soldiers were whispering along the way. Wang Xu kept a straight face and pretended to scold the soldiers, but it was of no use. He almost laughed. This was the first time he saw Liu Zhang since a year ago.
So exhausted.
At this moment, an old man with a slovenly beard, holding a walking stick, walked up from the mountain tremblingly. In front of Liu Zhang, he fell to the ground. Two soldiers helped the old man up, and the old man opened his eyes.
With cloudy eyes, he asked Liu Zhang hoarsely: "Brother, does Zhuge Liang live in the mountains?"
Wang Xudao: "Lao Ruijia, Zhuge Liang has run away and no longer lives in the mountain. Do you have anything to do with him?"
"Oh, what should I do?" The old man collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly: "Sometimes ago,
My dear, the old man was begging for money on the street. A man said to me that he could help me with gold and silver. He called himself Zhuge Liang and lived in Wollongong. I just came to see him. Why did he leave?"
"What can we do? What can we do? My old wife is still sick in bed, and my daughter is about to be forcibly sold. What can we do?" The old man said, beating his chest and kicking his feet in the mud.
The walking stick was messy and muddy water splashed on Liu Zhang.
"Give him some money." Liu Zhang said.
Wang Xu didn't have any money with him, so he had to collect a few hundred coins from the soldiers and gave it all to the old man. When Wang Xu collected the money, the old man kept moving his hands and feet, but his eyes squinted at Liu Zhang and all the soldiers.
sè.
......... An old man and a young man stood on the edge of a high mountain. The figure of Liu Zhang and his soldiers walking to the path down the mountain could be seen clearly through the drizzle.
Huang Yueying suddenly turned her head and glanced at the old man with the cane: "Master, why are you here?"
Huang Yueying has an elegant expression. Even though her skin is rough, she looks quiet and virtuous. The light of wisdom flashes in her beautiful and clear eyes.
"How could I not come when you marry me?" the old man said casually. Although he was covered in mud and water, his expression was calm and there was a hint of immortality.
"You once said that if I get married, it means that you have failed in your life and you will not come."
"But you are not married after all." The old man looked at the Sichuan army at the foot of the mountain and said to Huang Yueying: "What do you think of Liu Zhang?"
"But." Huang Yueying's eyes were fixed on the figure at the front of the Sichuan Army: "There are two fatal flaws in this entry. He is too violent and is always immersed in his own world. As long as he feels that he is right, it is difficult to do otherwise.
Change, to put it lightly, means insisting on one's own opinions, but to put it seriously, it means being stubborn.
Second, this person is rumored to be cruel, but he actually has good intentions, but every time he suppresses his own nature because he has a clear goal and a calm mind. Such a character is difficult to sustain, and the hidden truth in his heart is
If a woman is benevolent, she will bring disaster to him sooner or later."
The letters were searched without resorting to thunderous means.
The purpose of taking Pang Tong away was not to punish Pang Tong for collaborating with the enemy, but to shock the other party's arrogance. But how can someone like Pang Tong be so easy to intimidate? Someone like Pang Tong should follow his temperament and satisfy his vanity. He must
In Huang Yueying's view, Pang Tong wanted to seek refuge with Liu Zhang, but he would never be used by Liu Zhang...
The punishment was so severe because he wanted to take the opportunity to find Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang's reputation was not well-known in Yaoxia, he was still known as a great talent in the Jingxiang area.
Liu Zhang came to Longzhong with only 2,000 personal soldiers. He did not offer any advice, but quietly sent orders for troops to respond.
They sent in to find Zhuge Liang in advance, and after learning that Zhuge Liang had left, they quietly sent in to chase him out.
Consoling myself on the hill for losing my husband.
Huang Yueying saw all this, and every movement and every expression of Liu Zhang reflected a character. Huang Yueying had already made a complete analysis while laughing.
After listening to Huang Yueying's words, the old man shook his head: "Yueying, everything in this world is caused by cause and effect. Jade has flaws, there is no perfect entry, there is yin and yang, it can never be polarized. Liu Zhang's flaw is exactly his
The causes of advantages.
If the butcher obeys the advice, he will not be a butcher. If the butcher has no compassion for the world, why bother to go to all the trouble to commit evil? If he is willful and self-willed, the benevolence of his wife, the tolerance of sin and kindness, the princes of this young age will not have any
The other road is more suitable for us, Yueying, come out."
When Huang Yueying heard the last five words of the old man with a sigh, she frowned and turned her head, looking at the old man in disbelief. Once upon a time, the old man's heart had died, but now, because of Liu Zhang's appearance, it seemed to be alive again.
Like Huang Yueying, Liu Zhang calmly ordered Wang Xu to give him money. Wang Xu immediately accepted the order. As the commander of the personal soldiers, he didn't have a penny on his body during the battle. Then when the soldiers took out the money, they just showed the expression of obeying the order, without any
Doubts, no complaints, no stinginess...the old man also sees all this, and he knows the autumn with a leaf, and the old man's wisdom is much deeper than Huang Yueying.
"But master, if I go to help Liu Zhang, Zhuge Liang and I will be completely cut off. My father may beat me to death, and my mother may cry blind. Are you not harming me? And o, you go back on your word,
It was you who asked me to get close to Zhuge Liang, help him complete his great cause, make up for your past mistakes, and also gave me such a broken fan."
As Huang Yueying spoke, she took out a goose feather fan from her Dahongpao and slapped the old man angrily twice. Two words were suddenly printed on it, one bright and one bright.
