Chapter 617: Momentum

Zhuge Liang changed color, Sima Yi changed color, Guan Yu changed color, and above the main hall, the monarchs and ministers of Yan State did not change color, and their expressions changed in an instant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the Golden Palace, there was an uproar and amazement.

"How could this be, how could Sun Ce be so weak that he was wiped out by the pottery thief in just one month!?" Zhuge Liang was the first to come to his senses and asked at the pro-soldier.

Although the Yan State did not send troops, Liu Bei Junchen had been paying close attention to the war between Wei and Wu, and the scouts were constantly in contact.

It's just that Jianye is too far away from Jijing, thousands of miles away, even if it is fast all the way, it will take at least ten days for the information to be delivered to Liu Bei's hands.

And Yan Guo's fine work can't run wildly in a bright and bright way, and along the way, he has to guard against the investigation of Wei State, so he has to take a long detour and go off the road, and the time is so delayed, the information has to take a month before it can be sent to Jijing.

The information before a month said that the army of potters was besieging Jianye, and Sun Ce was still desperately holding on, but who would have thought that after only a month, the state of Wu would be destroyed!

This speed is really too fast.

You know, Liu Bei has inquired in detail, Jianye City is not inferior to Yecheng back then, Yecheng was besieged by the Wei army, it can last for half a year, and Jianye City has to hold on for three or five months, not to mention that Jianye City has to hold on for three or five months.

Who would have thought that it only took one month for the potters to not only capture Jianye, but also destroy the entire Wu State.

With such an incredible speed, even a supreme wise man like Zhuge Liang couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Yes, how did the pottery thief capture Jianye, how could he destroy the Wu State so quickly, this king doesn't believe it!" Liu Bei, who also came to his senses, also shouted.

The soldier didn't dare to hesitate, so he told the detailed information word for word.

In the intelligence, how the potters flooded Jianye, how to use Zhang Zhao's surrender to break through Jianye City, and then how to use Chen Qing's rebellion to kill Huang Gai and conquer Wu County, the original story was explained.

The monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom suddenly realized now.

"It's a pity, we were still counting on Sun Ce to be able to hold on for another three or five months, who would have thought that the monarchs and ministers of Wu State would be so uncompetitive, no matter how strong the city is, it will be the easiest to be attacked from the inside." Frustrated, he sighed.

In the main hall, all the Yan ministers were discussing for a while, and they all regretted the destruction of the Wu Kingdom.

Zhang Fei was even more angry, and scolded rudely: "I knew that Sun Ce, this kid, had a false reputation, and at the critical moment, so many people betrayed him, how did he, the lord, behave." ”

"Hmph, third brother, you have a high opinion of that Sun Ce, do you think that everyone is like the king who wins the hearts of the people, and his subordinates follow him to the death?" Guan Yu said coldly and sarcastically, and slapped Liu Bei's ass again.

Liu Bei's expression became more and more gloomy, he secretly gritted his teeth, his eyes burst with hatred, and he clenched his fists and scolded: "Sun Ce, this waste, this king really thinks highly of him, if this king knew that he was so useless, how could this king wait until today to send troops!" ”

In the main hall, the scolding of the ministers sounded again, all of them were scolding Sun Ce for being useless and Wu Guojun and his ministers being useless.

At this time, Sima Yi remembered something and asked, "What about Sun Ce, what about Zhou Yu, could it be that the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom were all killed by the pottery thieves?" ”

"Lord Sima, according to the intelligence, Sun Ce did not die, but before the Wei army arrived, Qian Tang boarded the ship, took Zhou Yutai Shici and other generals, as well as the Sun family, and led more than 6,000 soldiers and horses to the sea to the north."

Sun Ce, he didn't die!

This news suddenly surprised Liu Bei and was taken aback.

He originally thought that with Sun Ce's arrogant temperament, after being forced to a dead end by the pottery merchants, he would choose to defend and live and die with the Wu State.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Sun Ce would have the wonder of hooking up, and he could endure the pain of overthrowing the country and escape into the sea by boat.

"The state of Wu has come, and there is no place for Sun Ce in the entire south of the Yangtze River, even if he escapes into the sea, where can he flee to." Guan Yu looked puzzled.

At this time, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he shook his feather fan and said: "General Yun Chang is right, Jiangnan has been captured by pottery thieves, and there is no place for Sun Ce on land. ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed, and there was a trace of essence in his sunken eyes.

"Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, they are all fierce generals in the world, as well as Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, their wisdom is unparalleled, these people are the ...... of the world's great talents"

Liu Bei muttered to himself, annoyed and shocked, and then gradually calmed down, and his face looked much better.

Although it is a pity that the state of Wu was destroyed, but Sun Ce also did a good thing for himself, and gave so many fierce generals and ministers to himself, these people are all heroes in the world, if they can serve him Liu Bei, it will naturally be better.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the hall hurried in again and sent an urgent message from Yuyang Taishou.

Yuyang urgent?

Liu Bei took the urgent report with suspicion, only glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that the urgent report said that Sun Ce, the king of Wu, led a group of remnants of the defeated army and came to Youzhou from the sea to defect, but when he was close to Bohai, he suddenly encountered a strong wind and waves, and some ships were drowned in the sea, only Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong and Pang Tong were spared, with less than 1,000 remnants, landed on the coast of Yuyang, claiming that they were willing to submit to Liu Bei.

This piece of information is right in Liu Bei's arms.

Liu Bei was still worried that Sun Ce had the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and when he came to defect to him, he had to be on guard everywhere, and Sun Ce would not be able to surrender to him as long as Sun Ce was in one day, Tai Shici and other fierce generals of Wu State.

What made Liu Bei happy was that even the sky wanted to destroy Sun Ce, a waste, and a storm buried him in the sea, along with the Sun family, all of them were buried in the sea.

As soon as Sun Ce died, Tai Shici and other Wu generals became ownerless people, and naturally they had no worries, and they could naturally submit to him, the king of Dayan, and rightfully become his courtiers.

This is exactly what Liu Bei wants to see.

"Sun Ce, you died well, just one less trouble for this king, it's a pity that Zhou Yu, a commander, also died in the sea with Sun Ce, it's a pity......"

Liu Bei was secretly happy and regretful in his heart, and as soon as his thoughts were so restrained, he immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Quickly send an order to Yuyang Taishou, so that he must be courteous to Tai Shici and others, and send them to Jijing to meet as soon as possible." ”

The order was handed down, and in the main hall, there was a discussion again, and there was a heated discussion about the return of Tai Shici and others.

After all, Tai Shi Ci, Huang Zhong and others are all famous generals in the world, and the so-called heroes are sympathetic, and everyone also wants to see the heroic appearance of these southern heroes.

After the order was given, Liu Bei's eyes turned to Zhuge Liang, and he said with a smile: "Kong Ming military division, I heard that the phoenix and Pang Tong are all under Mr. Yu Shuijing with you, I didn't expect that you have a dragon and a phoenix, and you can assist this king together, it seems that this must be some kind of sign from heaven, indicating that my Great Yan will prosper and the Han family will recover." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes also showed a little joy, and he sighed: "Yes, Liang Zi left Jingzhou, I didn't expect to be able to say goodbye to Shiyuan and serve a master together. ”

When Zhuge Liang sighed here, Guan Yu said: "King, now that our army has been assembled, although the Wu State is destroyed, do we still want to continue the southern expedition?" ”

Liu Bei frowned, his thoughts returned to the topic, and asked Zhuge Liang again: "Military advisor, what do you think?" ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, shook his feather fan and said: "If the Wu Kingdom is not destroyed, the army of hundreds of thousands of pottery thieves is dragged in the south of the Yangtze River, and our army is moving south, the odds of victory are still very high, but ...... now"

As soon as the words changed, Zhuge Liang sighed again: "It's just that now the state of Wu has been destroyed, at this time, if our country sends troops again, the pottery thief will be able to withdraw and return to the north, and when the time comes, the pottery thief will inevitably concentrate the main force and fight with our army, at that time, it will be a war with unpredictable odds, even if it is ......"

Zhuge Liang hadn't finished speaking, and Sima Yi, who couldn't hold back, hurriedly said: "Even if we can defeat the pottery thief, we will definitely kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, it will be a miserable victory, and we can't afford to take advantage of the victory to go south, at that time, it will only give Qin and Shu a chance, so the southern expedition must be stopped." ”

Seeing that Sima Yi had snatched the talk, Zhuge Liang suddenly frowned slightly, and a little displeasure flashed in his eyes, wanting to snatch the conversation back.

Liu Bei turned his gaze to Sima Yi and asked, "Then according to Zhongda's opinion, is this king just doing nothing, letting the pottery thief grow like this, waiting for him to do something to this king?" ”

"Of course not."

Sima Yi smiled, walked to the huge map, and pointed: "Now the situation, the six countries have been wiped out by the pottery thief, the pottery thief seems to have exploded in strength, but Shu has the risk of the Three Gorges, Qin has the solidity of Tongguan, even if the pottery thief has a million soldiers, it is impossible to break through these two passes." ”

Swallowing his saliva, Sima Yi continued: "As for my Dayan, although there is no too dangerous pass between me and Wei, my Dayan is mainly cavalry, this is our biggest danger, if the pottery thief commits my Dayan in the north, we don't need to fight with it at all, only use cavalry to attack the pottery thief's grain road, and he will be difficult to advance an inch, so my Dayan is actually impregnable." ”

Just when Sima Yi was gushing, Zhuge Liang couldn't stand it anymore, and took advantage of his breath to grab his breath and said: "What Sima Zhongda said is exactly what Liang thinks, and it is not easy for us to destroy Wei State, and it is difficult for Wei State to destroy any of our countries, in fact, it has entered the peak of the Four Kingdoms." ”

As soon as he spoke, Liu Bei, who listened to it, nodded slightly, as if he had realized a lot.

Sima Yi frowned, opened his mouth and wanted to snatch back the conversation, but Zhuge Liang didn't give him a chance, and immediately said: "So Liang thinks that at this stage, before the time is ripe, we should not easily start the war with the Wei State, but should focus on improving my Dayan's own strength, as long as my Dayan is strong enough, I will have the opportunity to raise troops to the south and sweep away the Wei State." ”

"That Yi Junshi means ......" Liu Bei's spirit was lifted again.

Zhuge Liang walked to the map, and pointed to the northeast corner, "Although Liaodong has been incorporated into my Dayan territory, there is still a Goguryeo country in the east of Liaodong, and there are hundreds of thousands of Dingkou in this country, if we can destroy this country, we can not only increase hundreds of thousands of Dingkou, but also completely remove the threat from the rear, Liang thinks, this is what we should do now." ”
