"Okay, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei must be killed. These two people are not only your enemies, General Ma, but also a serious problem for me, Liu Zhang."
Liu Zhang took the map in Huang Yueying's hand and said to Ma Chao: "The Yellow River flows from the Xiqiang grassland to the Great Wall. The ships have been destroyed. Our current ships cannot complete the crossing of the army. I am afraid it will take at least a month to build the ships. Of course, as long as the army crosses the river,
Both Commander Huang and I felt that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were unable to stir up any trouble.
But Zhuge Liang's wisdom has to be guarded against. As time goes by, there will be many variables, and in detail, not only Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun's troops are trying to leap into Guanzhong, Cao Cao has led his army southward, gathering troops along the way, in order to fight us decisively.
We must rush to capture Liu Bei before Xiahou Yuan enters Guanzhong, secure Guanzhong, and compete with Cao's army with Hangu Pass to become invincible, so the speed must be fast."
Liu Zhang drew a line on the map: "This is the Great Wall. The Yellow River passes through the city. In order to defend against the grassland tribes, our Han army has a defensive line of the Great Wall cut by the Yellow River. There are shoals within the Great Wall with pontoon bridges for passage. The military advisor and I plan to
Pass through here and attack Wuwei by surprise."
"Here?" Ma Chao looked at the area pointed by Liu Zhang: "My lord, with all due respect, Zhuge Liang already knew that this place could be passed, but the reason why there was no defense was because this was Zhe Lanying's territory. Zhe Lanying was extremely ambitious.
Once she said that she wanted to unify Yongliang and go south to Jingyi.
Now that the Sichuan army is powerful and the Liang army is in danger, Zhe Lanying will never help the Sichuan army and will form a close alliance with Liu Bei. If we don't use a large army, we will definitely not be able to pass. If we use a large army, we might as well build ships."
Ma Chao frowned: "If my lord wants to give this place a try, Ma Chao is willing to lead his troops there and pass through Zhe Lanying's area by force. If Zhe Lanying rushes to block the way... try to break through as quickly as possible."
Liu Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Ma. I have a way to pass through this place quickly. General Ma Chao can accompany me."
Ma Chao didn't know what method Liu Zhang was going to use. He was confused and answered loudly: "Yes."
………………………
In addition to being so powerful, there were only two people left in the big tent, Liu Zhang and Fan Lixiang. Liu Zhang looked at Fan Lixiang with great interest, making the originally majestic Fan Lixiang feel uncomfortable and shy.
"Lixiang, I'm curious, why did you go to rescue the fishing village instead of pursuing Liu Bei?"
"So this is it."
"I'm just a little curious."
"After all, my lord just thinks Li Xiang is poisonous and won't save her."
"Sit down and talk, Lixiang. The impression you gave me is indeed not very good, but from the Baima Qiang incident last time and the Yellow River incident this time, I feel that maybe I have misjudged you? Are you really
You are doing things for the people, right?"
Fan Lixiang looked at Liu Zhang in surprise.
Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "These past few years have been like a blur. Thinking back to a few years ago, it's like what happened in my previous life. I still remember the first time I came to Wuxi, Ronger fought with Zhang Ren with a red tassel gun.
She looked like she was throwing stones at my pastoral residence with one hand on her hips and the other. But now, it’s hard to even make her smile.
The same goes for you. When I first saw you, you were like a piece of wood, attached to the bed... Anyway, you had no expression, no movement, no sound. Later I learned from you how cruel women are, and I just felt that you were the one who came into this world.
Specifically for calculating people.
Don't believe a word you say. Those who believe it, such as Zhao Fan, Liu Qi, Qin Ming, and those aristocratic families, have all gone to hell. Those who have not gone to hell, those simple people, will become your support.
I rely on my official position, but I applaud you even if I am used by you.
At that time, I was very afraid of you and even had murderous intentions. Later, after we talked a lot in the alley in Xiangyang and started drinking, I suddenly became less afraid of you."
Fan Lixiang looked at Liu Zhang and initially thought that Liu Zhang wanted to reprimand her privately for her indiscriminate behavior by leaving her behind. This would not only make her lose face, but also warn her that she must put the overall situation first in the future.
But the more I listened to Liu Zhang's words, the more I felt something was wrong. Rather than saying that the Lord was lamenting the changes in himself and Xiao Furong, it was more that he was lamenting himself.
Fan Lixiang vaguely felt that Liu Zhang was a little lonely.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Li Xiang, last time you destroyed the White Horse Qiang, I was still confused, but I felt that you might really do it for the people. This time the Yellow River incident made me convinced of this. Why is this happening?
?”
"It's like what my lord said, you may have changed unconsciously." Fan Lixiang said, looking at Liu Zhang: "My lord, you seem a little unhappy."
"Really? The Sichuan army has won a great victory and Liu Bei will be destroyed soon. Why should I be unhappy?"
"If the lord is happy, he won't talk so much. Lixiang is not good at anything else. She has some experience in observing people. Is the lord worried about something?"
Liu Zhang sighed and said: "Nothing, Cao Cao is about to go south. I didn't expect that he would come to Guanzhong without destroying Yuan's Wuhuan. Moreover, looking at Cao Cao's posture, he would withdraw his troops along the way and gather food and grass along the way, almost destroying the Central Plains and Hebei."
The soldiers have plundered all the food and grass, and this is a decisive battle.
The tree is about to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. I originally wanted to take Guanzhong and rest the soldiers and cultivate the people. I didn't expect to face a decisive battle soon. I have ordered Jingyi's civil and military forces to comprehensively collect grain and mobilize Jingzhou, Yizhou, Wuxi, Nanman, and Xiqiang.
Troops from all over came.
This is a decisive battle on a larger scale than the Battle of Guandu. It is related to the ownership of the Han Dynasty and the history of the next five hundred years. If the Sichuan Army is defeated, all the civil and military personnel of Liu Zhang and the Sichuan Army Group will be relegated to the dust of history. At this moment, how can I
Don’t worry, don’t worry.”
"My lord is not worried about defeat, but worried about his own illness, right?"
Liu Zhang looked at Fan Lixiang, who hit the nail on the head.
Fan Lixiang listened to Liu Zhang's words and was led by Liu Zhang's ideas at first, but suddenly realized that she was just a small commander of the Shenwei Army and knew nothing about military affairs. The lord had an army of 200,000 people. These major events should also be related to Huang Yueying.
Discuss, discuss with yourself what to do?
Fan Lixiang suddenly thought that four years had passed since the five-year period when Yongliang was conquered. Now that the battle of Yongliang had been fought for ten months, the five-year period had arrived.
Liu Zhang's illness came in fits and starts. If he didn't get sick, nothing would happen. But once he got sick, he would faint from the pain. Now that the end was approaching, it was very likely that he would faint and never wake up again.
I don’t know when I will get sick, I don’t know when I will fall asleep, I don’t know when I will pass away, and leave everything in this world. How cruel is this to a king with great ambitions? Even if he had predicted it, how could he have done it?
Don't be sad, don't become nagging.
That's why the lord told himself so much, telling what happened four years ago one by one, and remembering everything so clearly.
The Lord said that it was like what happened in the previous life.
Fan Lixiang suddenly felt her heart clenched in one place. She had never felt such pain before. This feeling made Fan Lixiang have to hold on to her chest.
When the Zhao brothers sent themselves as goods to Liu Zhang, they felt no pain but numbness. When the people were robbed by the Baima Qiang and the fishing villages were massacred by Liu Feng's Liang army, they felt no pain but pity.
The scene in the alley in Xiangyang clearly emerged in my mind. It was the night when my outlook on life changed. From that night on, Shenweijun and her, Fan Lixiang, changed unknowingly and became truly considerate of the people.
Peasant Army.
But besides this, Fan Lixiang discovered that what had changed that night was her own feelings for Liu Zhang. When she faced Liu Zhang, she was cautious and only hoped to keep her official position. Liu Zhang was just a lord who gave her the official position and could remove it at any time.
's lord.
He had to use various calculations to let Liu Zhang maintain his official position, because his goal was to live like a normal person in this society where men were superior to women.
But that night, he and Liu Zhang reached an agreement that they had different opinions but were on the same road. They walked on the same road to achieve the two goals of subverting the monopoly of the family and pursuing women's rights.
At that time, my heart became closer to him unconsciously.
After that night, the first thing he did was to put Liu Zhang's position among the people above himself, regardless of the consequences it brought to him: the reincarnation of the Red Emperor, the destiny to make him a king, and the red star descending to earth to save the common people.
He also made a plan to attack Chen Sheng, just to kill Pang Tong, a serious enemy of the Sichuan army, but he did not consider the consequences for himself.
From that night on, he never seemed to worry about his official position. He did not worry day and night that he would be dismissed by Liu Zhang if he lost the support of the people. He even resigned from the post of Jingzhou Mu.
In fact, attacking Baima Qiang and rescuing fishing villages is not the same.
Because I believed in him. Or, I was willing to bear the punishment from him.
Are you still the same woman who was desperate for power?
"Master, I know you must be in a bad mood now, but why didn't you tell Huang Yueying or Mrs. Xiao, but tell me."
Fan Lixiang asked, looking at the ground.
Liu Zhang was silent and didn't know what to say. Fan Lixiang was right, she was just worried about her body.
Although Liu Bei is about to die now, he has achieved his original goal of conquering Yongliang. Even after his death, Liu Xun will be in power.
An important minister has enough strength to conquer the world.
However, which king only has a great cause in his heart?
This world is so wonderful. Although I am very busy, I have many people by my side, including Huang Yue, Xiao Furong, cheap son Liu Xun, and Liu Kang.
Fazheng was by no means just his own adviser. The two of them came from Jiangzhou and shared the same ideals. Liu Zhang didn't think it was wrong to say they were brothers.
