After a few days of getting tired of the Qiao sisters, Liu Yu received a battle report from Huang Zhong, and at present, he is leading an army of 100,000 to confront Liu Beijun in Chibi and needs Liu Yu's assistance.

Because the Qiao sisters didn't like war, and their parents had just come over, they decided to stay with their families. After Liu Yu thought about it, he simply asked them to take Liu Yu's warrant and accompany Qiao's family to Yangzhai to settle their families well. The two beauties thought that Liu Yu cared for them very much, and coincidentally gave Liu Yu a fragrant reward.

Sun Shangxiang has been looking at Liu Yu unpleasantly because of the Qiao sisters' being eaten by Liu Yu in the past few days, and she has been mocking and sarcastic. Liu Yu originally thought that she would follow the Qiao sisters to Yangzhai, but she made it clear that she would follow Liu Yu to beat Liu Bei, and said that this was to prevent Liu Yu from harming the ignorant girl again......

Although he wanted to help Huang Zhong, Liu Yu didn't bring many people. In addition to the 5,000 guards Beiwei army, Liu Yu only brought 15,000 more infantry, leaving 40,000 defenders for Jiangxia. Of course, in addition to the 40,000 defenders, Liu Yu must also leave a general to sit here. First, it was because of Liu Beijun on the other side, and secondly, it was also to guard against Yuan Shu in Jiujiang. Although Liu Yu didn't think that Yuan Shu's character of bullying the soft and fearing the hard dared to take the initiative to provoke him, it was always good to be prepared!

As for the candidates for the left-behind generals, Liu Yu thought about it for a while and decided to hand it over to Cai Yang. This Cai Yang is the nephew of Liu Yu's father-in-law Cai Yong, and he is also Cai Yan's cousin, who is in his forties this year. His "chaotic cloak" knife skills are very impressive, and he has been in battle for a long time. He is cautious and believes that he is fully capable of defending the work.

Swimming against the current, it was only two days. It's to Chibi. Liu Yujun set up a water village on the north bank, and there were soldiers patrolling the river outside the wall. After seeing this large group of people, he immediately reported it to Huang Zhong to know. Not long after, Huang Zhong personally greeted Liu Yu and led Liu Yu into the water village.

Along the way, Liu Yu took a closer look at the water village and saw that there were twenty-four gates to the south. There are building ships and warships listed as city walls, and small boats are hidden in them, and there are alleys to and fro. The ups and downs are orderly. Nodding, Liu Yu said to Huang Zhong beside him: "It seems that you haven't stayed in vain in Jiangxia, but you have learned the method of arranging the formation of the navy army......

Huang Zhong blushed slightly and pointed to the side. explained: "The prince praised it falsely! This act of setting up camp is not what Wei Chen said. It's really the work of General Cai Mao! ”

Liu Yu glanced at Mo Li's side, although his face was respectful, but his eyes were colorful, and said with a smile: "Good job, you have lived up to the king's expectations of you!" ”

This Cai Mao is also Cai Yan's clansman, but he is of a lower generation. Although he was relatively incompetent in history, Liu Yu found that he was very talented in commanding the naval army. In the past few years, the emphasis on training has also achieved some results.

"Wechen can have today. It's all up to your cultivation! Cai Mao's face was grateful.

While speaking, the group had entered the center of the water village. Liu Yu asked Huang Zhong to order someone to place the soldiers who came with him. And he did not rest, and went directly to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army. "Come, tell the king about the current form!"

"Yes!" Huang Zhong answered, cleared his throat and said, "Weichen is ashamed! Liu Bei's army of 100,000 gathered on the opposite bank and clashed with our army several times, without a win......"

Liu Yu asked slightly puzzled: "Although Liu Bei owns Jingnan and Jiaozhou, these two places are vast and sparsely populated, except for the soldiers who guard various places, how can he gather 100,000 people?" Haven't you been deceived by him......"

Huang Zhong was slightly stunned, and thought bitterly: "This Weichen is really inaccurate!" Wechen only roughly estimated the number of battles and numbers they played, as well as the number of ships in the water village......"

"This is really not accurate!" Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "Most of Liu Beijun's ships in the water village may be empty, and most of the soldiers may be wound......ed."

After listening to Liu Yu's inference, Huang Zhong's eyes lit up and said, "Lord Wang, then are we attacking the opponent's water village once to explore the truth and reality?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Liu Yu shook his head and said, "We can't make a decision now!" In case Liu Bei is hot-headed and mobilizes most of the soldiers here, then we will suffer a loss if we attack strongly! ”

"That'...... In the king's opinion, what should we do now? ”

"Who are Liu Bei's subordinates now?"

"In the past few days, I have seen Zhang Fei, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, among the five tiger generals under Liu Bei. In addition, Weichen also inquired that General Guan Yu had been sent to Jiaozhou, and I heard that it was to suppress the local Shanyue rebellion......"

Sangoe rebellion? Hum...... I'm afraid it's because I want to design a plot against Huang Zhong, and I'm afraid that the arrogant Guan Yu will get in the way here, so I found an excuse to turn it away, right? Just when Liu Yu was thinking about how to defeat Liu Beijun with one blow, the official in front of the tent came to report that the soldiers patrolling the river had captured a person from the south.

"Is it a spy?" Liu Yu was slightly curious. Generally speaking, situations like this are handled by special personnel, and non-major incidents are rarely reported to the manager.

The official in front of the tent shook his head and said: "That man dressed as a fisherman, claimed to be Wang Lei, and said that he had confidential and important matters to inform General Huang Zhong!" ”

Wang tired? It's a familiar name...... Yes, isn't this person a loyal minister who admonished Liu Zhang in history? How did he get here?! "Invite him in, and don't be lazy!" For loyal ministers, Liu Yu always has a congenital favor.

After a while, the tent official led a thirty-year-old Confucian priest with a strange face into the tent. Seeing Huang Zhong standing at the bottom of Liu Yu, the eyes of the thirty-year-old Confucian scholar flashed, and Shi Li said: "Dare to ask, but His Royal Highness King Zhou is in person?" ”

"It's the king!"

Hearing Liu Yu's identity, the thirty-year-old Confucian immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The rebellious minister Wang is tired, see His Royal Highness the King of Zhou!" ”

"Rebellion?" Liu Yu asked with some surprise, "Aren't you Liu Zhang's subordinate?" Liu Zhang is obedient to the imperial court, and now that his home has been taken away by Cao Cao, you should call yourself a 'minister in exile', how can you say that you are 'rebellious'? ”

Wang Lei blushed slightly and said: "Not long ago, under the persuasion of Pang Degong, the old lord had already led the crowd to join Liu Bei......"

"It turns out that you are already Liu Bei's subordinate, no wonder you call yourself a 'rebellious minister'?" Liu Yu sighed. asked, "By the way, how is Liu Bei to Liu Zhang?" ”

Liu Bei ordered General Guan Yu to escort the deceased lord to the South China Sea to settle down, and gave him many fields and domestic servants. The life of a rich man can be safe! ”

It seems that Liu Bei is quite good to the clan! Liu Yu nodded and asked, "Then why did you come here this time?" ”

"I hope that the prince will take care of me and other old ministers of Xichuan!" Wang leaned his head down.

"Contain you......" Although Liu Yu had already guessed a thing or two from his name for Liu Bei, he still expressed his doubts: "You don't want to fake surrender, thinking that Liu Bei should respond, right?" ”

Wang Lei's expression changed when he heard this, and he got up from the ground openly, and his movements were so fierce that Huang Zhong hurriedly blocked in front of Liu Yu. But. Wang Lei didn't make any disobedient moves, just raised his head and laughed: "People say that the prince is eager to seek talent, but look at today's situation." It can be seen that the rumors do not match...... Zhang Song, Yang Huai, we are all looking away this time......"

Liu Yu looked at his excited, looking up to the sky and sighing, and couldn't help but say: "Liu Bei has always moved the world with the name of 'benevolence and righteousness', and he is also very good to your late lord Liu Zhang. Suddenly you will abandon him and come to refuge in this king, a 'lustful and cruel' man. How can this king not doubt? ”

"This is indeed reckless!" Wang Lei dressed up and explained: "With the manpower and material resources of Jingnan Jiaozhou, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the north. Liu Bei's arrogant act of hitting a stone with an egg is really not taken by a wise man......"

Although Wang Lei said it very correctly, Liu Yu still had some doubts. After all, Wang Lei's "loyalty" is famous, how could he abandon the Lord and surrender because he was inferior to the enemy?

Perhaps noticing the suspicion in Liu Yu's eyes, Wang Lei continued: "Although Liu Bei's name is 'benevolence' and righteousness, the list is actually a fake benevolence and false righteousness. In order to weaken the influence of the deceased. Move it to the barren land of Jiaozhou. And he doesn't trust newcomers like us. The positions we can fill. Most of them are deputies or logistics officers. What's even more odious is that Liu Bei's brother Zhang Fei, who is good at Weifu, has repeatedly drunk and whipped my old ministers in Xichuan, making my heroes in Shu humiliated for no reason. ”

Liu Yu still believed a little bit of this explanation, because Zhang Fei was the kind of person who went crazy after drinking. In history, it was because he whipped Cao Bao, an old minister of Xuzhou, that Liu Bei lost Xuzhou. And in the end, he was killed in his sleep by his guards because of the whipping of the soldiers.

Although Liu Yu believed it a little, he still had a strange doubt lingering in his heart, and said to Wang Ti at the moment: "Show me the joint book!" ”

The reason written on this joint letter is similar to what Wang Lei said, looking at the signatures and bloody fingerprints on it, the number of them is about 20. Take a closer look, Liu Yu's known historical celebrities Zhang Song, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Wu Yi and so on are all on the list. I don't know why, the more Liu Yu reads this joint letter, the more he feels that something is wrong. Calm down and carefully comprehend the fleeting aura, Liu Yu finally found what was wrong. That is the passage above the signature and blood fingerprints - Fu Wen Wang Ye treats things sincerely, humbly cherishes Nashi, and we are willing to gather the crowd to surrender in order to make meritorious contributions and shame. Grain and grass are offered to the army, and they are offered with the ship. Cry blood and worship white, don't be suspicious!

How is this so similar to the letter of allegiance that Huang Gai wrote to Cao Cao when he was "bitter meat" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? It can't be that Liu Bei is also going to give him a "fire to the red cliff", right?! In order to explore the truth of the matter, Liu Yu deliberately slapped the table and said angrily: "You are clearly a trick to surrender, and you still dare to lie and quibble...... Come on, drag this person down, behead! ”

Hearing Liu Yu's order, the tent officer immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wang Lei's arm and dragged him out of the tent. Although Wang Ti was dragged to stagger, his face still did not change, and he even had the leisure to look up to the sky and laugh.

"Wait......" Liu Yu motioned to the official in front of the tent to bring Wang Lei back, and said to him: "This king has already seen through your treacherous schemes, why are you still laughing so arrogantly?" ”

Wang Lei shook his head and said with a sad face: "I'm not laughing at you, but laughing at our group of old ministers of Xichuan who don't know anyone......"

"Don't know anyone?" Liu Yu laughed in his heart, but his face was dissatisfied and puzzled: "Why do you say that?" ”

Wang Lei said impatiently: "If you want to kill, you will kill, why do you have to ask so much?" ”

At this moment, Liu Yu's actor-level acting skills made great achievements again, although his heart was knotted with laughter, but his face was shrewd and mixed with some pride: "This king has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he knows the way of treachery and hypocrisy!" You can hide this kind of scheming from others, but you will never be able to hide it from this king! ”

Wang Lei glanced at Liu Yu with disdain. He said, "And tell me which one of the things in this letter is a treacherous plan?" ”

"Good! Since you are so hard-mouthed, then the king will point out your flaws and let you die without complaint! Liu Yu held up the "Letter of Allegiance". imitated Cao Cao's statement in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "Since you are sincerely seeking refuge in this king, why don't you clearly write down the time of surrender?" Hey, what else do you have to say right now? ”

Wang Lei listened to Liu Yu's words, laughed out loud, and after a while, he pointed at Liu Yu and said, "You dare to boast of being familiar with military books?" I think you better collect your troops and meet Luoyang as soon as possible! If you insist on fighting, you will be defeated by Liu Bei! I really don't know how you got that reputation as 'invincible' as an incompetent person? Could it be that those opponents of yours are fools...... Death at the hands of people like you. I'm really a ghost and I feel wronged! ”

Wang Lei's disrespectful words to Liu Yu made Huang Zhong and the officials in front of the tent very angry, if it wasn't for Liu Yu's timely stopping, maybe Wang Lei would really be a "ghost"! In fact, Liu Yu is really not angry at all. After all, he was acting. On the contrary, he was in a happy mood because of Wang Ti's wonderful performance, and asked with a smile: "Why did this king become an 'incompetent'?" ”

Although Wang Lei was a little surprised by Liu Yu's attitude, he still said impassionedly: "You don't know the plan, you don't know the reason. Aren't they 'incompetent'? ”

"Oh?" Liu Yu waved his hand and signaled Huang Zhong, who wanted to scold Wang Ti, and the officials in front of the tent to be quiet. Then he asked with great interest: "Where did you come from this comment that you don't know how to plan and don't know reason?" ”

Wang Ti rolled his eyes and made a proud appearance: "You have no courtesy to be virtuous, why should I say more!" Hurry up and don't waste everyone's time! ”

"Not busy, not busy." Liu Yu smiled kindly and said, "As long as you are right, this king will naturally give you the respect you deserve." But if you talk gibberish. Then don't blame this king for being polite......"

Wang Lei didn't seem to be playing music anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Haven't you heard of 'betraying the master and stealing.'" 'Not regular'? If we do agree on a date with you, but we can't do it in a hurry, and you send someone to answer it, won't that expose us all? This kind of thing can only be done by improvisation, how can it die in the future? You don't know this truth at all, but you want to succumb to me, isn't this 'incompetent'? ”

Although Liu Yu was already somewhat sure of his inference, he still decided to make a full play. Immediately got up and said: "This king does not know what to see, and he mistakenly offended Mr. Zunwei, but I beg Mr. not to mind!" ”

Wang Lei replied with a sigh on his face: "I and the old ministers of Xichuan are all sincere and obedient, just like the parents of a baby, and I hope that the prince will not doubt it anymore!" ”

Liu Yu said with a happy face: "If you wait for the old ministers of Xichuan to make this contribution, the reward after the war will be above others!" ”

Wang Lei's face was also slightly happy: "We are not here for the reward, but just to comply with the will of heaven!" ”

Liu Yu nodded with a smile and said: "Then I have to bother Mr. Lao to go back to Jiangnan again, and agree with the old ministers in Xichuan that the news will be communicated first, and then the king will send troops to respond!" ”

After listening to Liu Yu's words, Wang Lei shook his head again and again and said: "The rebel minister has already left Liu Bei's military camp, it's really not good to go back, and I ask the prince to send another henchman to contact!" ”

"Don't bother the two masters!" Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Please also ask Mr. to work hard and go back to contact the old ministers of Xichuan......"

Wang Lei thought about it, finally nodded, and sighed: "Since this is the case, then the rebel minister will go back again." Lord, the rebel is leaving......"

Noticing the irrepressible joy that flashed in Wang Lei's eyes, Liu Yu finally determined that this was really a "fraud plan"! Since this is the case, then Liu Yu is not polite, and said to Huang Zhong and the officials in front of the account: "You go out first, this king has a confidential matter to tell Mr. Wang!" ”

After Huang Zhong and the tent officials walked out of the tent, Wang Lei asked with slight doubts: "I don't know what else the prince has to explain to the rebel ministers......

Originally, Liu Yu was going to design Liu Bei in turn, but suddenly he remembered a stand-alone game called "The Legend of Cao Cao" that he had played back then, which also had a scene of designing Jiangdong in reverse during the Battle of Chibi, but the result was not very ideal. In order not to let the soldiers under his command die in vain, Liu Yu decided to completely yin Liu Bei. There is no doubt that the important prop of this Yin Man is - the art of charm!

"Master, the slave is at your command!" The king, who had been tricked, knelt on the ground tiredly.

"Are you truly obedient?" Although Liu Yu was very sure of his judgment, he still wanted to ask the person concerned again.

"Back to the master's words. This is a deception plan set up by Zhang Song! ”

"Zhang Song?" It turned out to be the plan set up by the Xichuan Dacai who had just taken refuge in Liu Bei?! Could it be that Liu Bei's "benevolence" and tears can really make people ignore the huge gap in strength? Liu Yu asked with some curiosity: "You only took refuge in Liu Bei not long ago, did you serve him like this?" ”

In fact, Zhang Song is the only one who is really willing to work for Liu Bei, and most of the others are not very loyal. There are even some people who have a lot of resentment in their hearts! ”

"Why is that?"

"Although Zhang Song has great talents, because of his obscene appearance, he has not been allowed to be reused by the late owner Liu Zhang. But Liu Bei attached great importance to him, and despite everyone's opposition, he directly appointed him as the left army division. Zhang Song is grateful, and naturally he reciprocates with all his might! And the 'whipping incident' mentioned by the previous minions is also true, and many generals among the former ministers of Xichuan have been whipped by Zhang Fei......"

Liu Yu was a little clear. smiled: "Zhang Song's plan should be to carry out a fire attack under the pretext of transporting military rations, right?" ”

"The master is wise!" Wang Lei said with admiration.

It's good to have history as a mirror! Liu Yu smiled slightly, and said, "Zhang Song's strategy should be more than these, right?" Is it that in a few days, someone will come to the king to give advice? Chaining all the ships? ”

"The master is really omniscient...... Wang Lei admired the five-body throw: "However, this idea was not Zhang Song's idea, but 'Pang Tong', the nephew of Pang Degong, the first army division under Liu Bei!" ”

I'm dizzy! Why is Pang Tong such a "serial scheme" everywhere? Shaking his head, Liu Yu asked, "Among the old ministers of Xichuan." How about your influence? ”

The art of seduction does not weaken a person's intellect. Therefore, Wang Lei immediately understood what Liu Yu meant, and said: "Returning to the master, the slave has absolute confidence to persuade Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Wu Yi, Wu Lan, Deng Xian, and Ling Bao!" ”

"Very good, then you should cross the river first, handle this matter carefully, it is best to fake it and do it, and exchange all the fire oil used to burn the ship for Liu Bei's military rations, and take a good look at Liu Bei!"

"Yes. Master! ”

After King Deng was tired and went out, Huang Zhong came in. A look of wanting to say something.

"Just say anything!" Liu Yu, who had just set up a conspiracy, was in a good mood.

After listening to Liu Yu's words, Huang Zhong immediately said: "Lord Wang, please forgive Weichen for being blunt, Weichen feels that Wang Ti's surrender is fraudulent!" ”

"You're right!" Liu Yu nodded and said, "This is exactly the plan set up by Liu Bei and them, intending to burn down our army's warships!" ”

"The prince has already seen it?" Huang Zhong was a little surprised at first, and then said happily: "Is the prince ready to make a plan?" ”

"Almost!" Liu Yu didn't say in detail, but said: "You are ready these days and act according to my orders!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

###########################################################

Liu Bei led the generals to the top of the mountain on the riverbank, overlooked the military camp on the other side, and said leisurely: "The Jiangbei battleship is like the secret of a reed, and Liu Yu is extremely treacherous. ”

"The lord praised it!" Zhang Song, who looks very "abstract", grinned modestly and said modestly, but looking at his demeanor, how he looks like a villain.

"Strategists should not be too humble!" Liu Bei said with a smile, then turned his head and asked Zhang Feidao: "Third brother, did General Wu Yi set off?" ”

"When we came over, I saw Lao Wu and they were dispatching ships...... just as he was saying, Zhang Fei suddenly raised his hand and pointed, "Big brother, look, they are ...... there"

As they looked in the direction the government was pointing, they saw a fleet of ships leaving their barracks.

"How can there be nearly a hundred ships?" Han Dang, one of the five tiger generals, asked with some reluctance: "It is enough to set fire to about twenty ships, why do you want to lose fifty or sixty more ships in vain?" ”

"General Han doesn't know anything!" Zhang Song explained with a smile: "This time, General Wu is defrauding them as a grain officer, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to transport more grain!" ”

"Twenty or thirty ships are also a lot of ......" Han Dang couldn't figure it out, why did he have to waste two or three times as much as he needed twenty or thirty ships to complete the task?

Zhang Song sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile: "There is a lot of grain and grass in the northern military camp, and twenty or thirty boats of grain seem to us to be a lot, but it has not been put in Liu Yu's eyes. Wang Lei once made a tentative statement, and Liu Yu even asked them to cross the river directly by light boat. Only these hundreds of boats of grain can make Liu Yu slightly tempted and willing to let him into the village! (To be continued.) )
