188 Huang Zu died
Although the result of the discussion was that a quick battle should be resolved, after all, this is a war, and we cannot say that we will fight tomorrow. In the end, Kou Yan still instructed the relevant people to specify a strict battle plan and have a target. In addition, she did not intend to publicize the war publicly, but rather kept it a secret.
The nerves of the common people are not made of rubber, and it is impossible for them to accept a new war after only a few months of recovery after two fierce wars in one year. Fighting with Eastern Wu, the people shared the same hatred, and Kou Yan didn't even need to do any mobilization to set off a frenzy of all-people war. When Lingling and Guiyang were fighting, the mass work was not so easy to do.
Therefore, when he wanted to use force against Wuling after a short time, Kou Yan specially instructed not only to blitzkrieg, but also to fight quietly, and not to shout slogans. Xu Shu, Huang Zhong and others understood the spirit of the instructions and left, making their own preparations. Kou Yan believed that with the experience of sweeping Lingling and Guiyang, taking Wuling should also be a matter of a snap of a finger.
Just when everyone had done all the necessary preparations and were waiting for an order from the Supreme Command, the situation suddenly changed. News came from Jiangxia that two days after Liu Biao's death, Huang Zu also returned to heaven. Now Jiangxia is in chaos, not only that, Sun Quan has sent Zhou Yu to send troops for the second time, intending to raze Jiangxia in one fell swoop and avenge his father.
The reason why the news of Huang Zu's death spread to Changsha was that when Gan Ning organized routine training in Dongting Lake, he intercepted many aborigines of Jiangxia, including those from Xiangyang, who were suspected of being Cai Mao's spies.
When Kou Yan heard that Huang Zu was dead, he didn't feel anything at first, he was dead, what does it matter to me whether he dies or not? My most important task now is to take Wuling and build a defensive line. Jiang Xia or something, if Sun Quan is interested, it doesn't hurt to take it. When she thought about it, she felt that Gan Ning was making a big fuss.
Who knew that at the same time, Xu Shu also received the same news, Jiangxia Huangzu died violently, and Zhou Yu wanted to raise troops to seize Jiangxia. Unlike Kou Yan's resignation, after Xu Shu got the news, he approved a piece of clothing and rode a fast horse to Taishou Mansion, when Kou Yan saw him, he didn't even tie his belt, and he saw the middle coat inside.
"Teacher, what's going on? Why are you here?" Seeing that he was so disheveled, Kou Yan thought that his house was on fire, so he took three steps and two steps to meet him. Xu Shu didn't bother to check his dress, and the first thing he said was: "Has the news been sent?" ”
Gan Ning just left, and he ran all the way for this. I told him to rest for a day before going back. Kou Yan said disapprovingly. "Go back?you let him go back?" Xu Shu looked at Kou Yan incredulously: "There was such a big thing, and you still let him go back?" You will find the eldest prince right now, immediately!"
"Huh?" Kou Yan had never seen such a "self-assertive" teacher, he would never give orders to himself, why was he so abnormal today? However, Kou Yan was an obedient and good student, although he was full of questions, he didn't ask anything, and immediately called the guards outside the door and ordered Liu Qi to come to see her. After the order came out, she remembered and asked, "Teacher, this Huang Zu is dead, what are you doing so excited?"
"I ......" Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, why am I not excited? This is an earth-shattering big thing! I just wanted to open my mouth to reason with my apprentice, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I found that my apprentice's eyes full of curiosity were staring at him without blinking, and the two of them stood at the bottom of the hall so abruptly, and then looked at themselves, Xu Shu's old face immediately turned red: "Yes, I'm sorry, my subordinates are rude......
Kou Yan was waiting for him to be reasonable, and when he heard this, he didn't feel it: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to worry, I've already asked someone to pick up the eldest prince, let's wait for him here." As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand to help Xu Shu arrange her robe, and said as she tidied up: "The disciple has never seen Mr. so flustered. ”
Xu Shurao is a person of a handful of years old and running for three, but at this time he is like a child who is only a few years old, and he is at a loss: "For the teacher, for the teacher...... Come for the sake of the teacher. Kou Yan chuckled: "Didn't you come by yourself? I didn't get on the pole to urge you!" After speaking, he let go of his hand: "Okay." Let's sit down and talk slowly. Xu Shu was embarrassed: "Yes, yes, yes"
The two sat down separately, and Yaoqin served tea. Xu Shu's head was still low. He was reflecting on his mistakes. The disciple was right, why had he ever been so flustered? What had he done just now? Although this person is his own apprentice, Xu Shu has never ordered others in such a tone.
Even when he was a military general under Liu Bei, he always put the word "please" in front of his orders, what kind of evil did he hit today, how could he call his disciples and drink them? Fortunately, Yan'er was well-behaved and would not be unhappy. Xu Shu thought so, and looked at Kou Yan with apologetic eyes. Kou Yan didn't notice it at all, but asked nervously, "Teacher, what happened to Jiang Xia, does it have a very important relationship with us?"
"Ahh This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the teacher has never understood why Liu Jingzhou's last order was sent to Jiangxia, but now he understands that this is to make room for the eldest prince!" Xu Shu came back to his senses and explained carefully to his disciples.
"Jiangxia's geographical location is very special, and like Nanjun, it is also a battleground for soldiers. If Lord Wu gets Jiangxia, then he will be fearless, and on the other hand, General Gan belongs, our Dongting Lake water army will be useless. ”
"Ah, is there such a strict zhòng?" Kou Yan looked at the map, and shivers broke all over his body. Fortunately, the teacher came in time, and he had no concept of this at all! The map was standing behind him, and he didn't even have any concept at all, which was damn good!
She was annoyed, but Xu Shu didn't blame her at all, an eleven-year-old girl, do you expect her to have strategic awareness and vision? It's impossible! If she is so powerful, what else do you want to do as a teacher?
Fortunately, Liu Jingzhou had already made arrangements, he deliberately let Huang Zu die a few days later than himself, and it happened that the eldest prince came to Changsha, and Changsha went to Jiangxia, which was the most convenient. He knew early on that in Changsha, the eldest prince could only eat idle meals. That's why we found him another place, a place we couldn't want, but he went to the right place. ”
