Chapter 85: Liu Bei's Anger, Wudang's Predicament
"What does Mr. Zhuge mean? What does it mean that the woe is not in the north, but in the south? Liu Jingzhou is now too busy to take care of himself, does Mr. Fei think that Liu Jingzhou will make a move on my Xinye? ”
After taking a deep look at Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu's expression did not change significantly, but anyone with a discerning eye could perceive Guan Yu's estrangement from Zhuge Liang.
"Definitely! Definitely! ”
Shaking the feather fan in his hand, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, with a bit of curvature at the corner of his mouth.
"Kong Ming! You mean that Liu Jingzhou is wary of the lord! The withdrawal of troops from the seven counties... Could it be that Liu Jingzhou is testing the lord? ”
Although Liu Bei said that there are many people who are indiscriminate, there are also many talented people with real talents, such as Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Mi Zhu.
After the completion of the battle, Xinye's momentum was indeed too loud, and with the fanning of the families in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's position may not waver.
You don't see, at this point, Liu Biao would rather give up the seven counties... Didn't you ask for support from Shinno?
A blind eye, almost broke the taboo.
"Yes! Liu Jingzhou's move is in addition to pulling me, Cao's family, Fangling Zhang Yong into the water... In addition to muddying the situation in the west, there should be a temptation to test the lord. After all... Compared with Liu Qi and Liu Cong, the prestige of the lord in Jingzhou... Undoubtedly, it is much higher, Liu Biao has made this move... It also makes sense. ”
Compared with the generals under Liu Bei, the qualifications and number of civil officials are indeed much worse, but... Fortunately, there are still a few people who understand and are talented.
Fang Cai Sun Qian's words undoubtedly hit everyone's pain points, in the end... After all, they live here.
If Liu Biao is wary... Where do they go from here?
No matter how arrogant Guan Zhang and the others were, in the face of the size gap with Jingzhou, they couldn't help but be silent for a while.
If you take seven counties, this Jingzhou... I'm afraid there is really no place to stay.
"Even so, just do what Kong Ming wants."
"Yun Chang, you will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Wancheng to station, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang will assist you, and Yide will lead 3,000 troops outside the city to respond, and always monitor the movements of Cao's army."
As one of the few heroes in the world, Liu Bei's mind is naturally extraordinary, and after a short period of thought, he made a decision to transfer almost all the elites in Xinye City to Wancheng.
For the great cause of the Han family... If you don't take these seven counties, you can't do it.
"No!"
"It's just a pity... These seven counties are going to be ceded to Cao Cao! ”
With Liu Bei's order passed down, a kind of civil and military... sighed with a little regret.
Although these seven counties were already under the control of the Cao family, it is nothing to return to the Cao family now.
But this... The feeling of being able to smell and bite the meat that is brought to your mouth is really uncomfortable.
"If you are worried that the seven counties will fall into Cao Cao's hands, you don't have to!"
"Now that the situation in Xudu is rising, Cao Cao probably has no leisure to seek this land of seven counties."
took out a letter from the desk and handed it to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang looked at the direction of the north and said to everyone in the hall after forgetting the direction of the north.
"Bastard! Cao Cao's old thief is not a son of man! ”
Looking at the word phase written on the paper, Liu Bei, who calmed down, couldn't help but string it up, pointing in the direction of Xu Du and scolding.
If the position of prime minister is restored, Cao Cao's prestige is bound to be more prosperous, reviving the Han family... It's going to be even tougher.
Cao Cao! Cao Cao!
Holding the tissue paper in his hand, the anger rising in Liu Bei's heart... It gradually turned into a cold killing machine.
……
Wudang, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is far away from the central area, and it can be regarded as a rich and peaceful place in the past.
After the retreat of the Jingzhou army, Wudang City has almost become an undefended city in addition to hundreds of county soldiers who have not been evacuated with the army, and in the face of the five thousand elites under Zhang Yong's command, there is basically no power to fight back, and it has completely fallen under countless bows and crossbows in just half an hour.
After a series of wars, the small Wudang city has been dilapidated, and even the county government has not been spared.
"Yongyan, you're here!"
In the mansion, Zhang Yongduan sat at the desk and looked at the stacks of official documents, his brows were furrowed, and he sighed a few times from time to time, feeling a little pathetic, until... Peng Yi appeared in front of him, and Fang swept away his previous emotions and showed a slight smile.
I have to say that these days are also difficult for Zhang Yong.
In order to quickly capture the seven counties, Zhang Yong did not consider transferring officials from all over the country before, which caused Zhang Yong's current predicament.
Because of the retreat of the Jingzhou army, there are big families and military generals in Wudang City, and those who have a little family background anyway, they all drag their families to retreat with the garrison in Wudang City, so that Wudang City, which has nearly 4,000 households, can't even build a county government team at this moment.
Everything outside the house basically depends on Peng Yi... Leading the small soldiers temporarily drawn from the army to support, what Peng Yi did in the past... Naturally, it fell on Zhang Yong's head.
"How? Have the 1,000 county soldiers and officials who came to support Xi County arrived? ”
Originally, according to Zhang Yong's idea, he fought a wave of blitzkrieg, took advantage of the fluctuation of the hearts of the people in the seven counties, quickly won the seven counties, and then expanded the army... Before Cao's army went south, he tried every means to increase his power.
But who would have thought that it would take a few days to be tripped by a mere Wudang, and according to the current situation... I'm afraid that I won't be able to solve the chaos in Wudang City without ten years.
Sighing secretly, Zhang Yong seemed to be a little troubled, but fortunately... These Jingzhou troops have some humanity, and they don't have strong walls to clear the wilderness... Empty the grain and grass in the Wudang Mansion, otherwise the people in Wudang City in the past few days may have already made trouble because of the lack of food.
"It's here! According to the previous orders of the prince, the civil officials were promoted to the county government, and the county soldiers took over the city defense, and Wudang City... These days will settle down. ”
Thinking of Zhang Yong's raised eyebrows when he first entered the door, the corners of Peng Yi's mouth rose slightly.
After today, when he is dealing with government affairs, his ears will be much clearer.
"So I can get out?"
slapped the bamboo slip in his hand on the case, Zhang Yong's eyes were a little surprised, this kind of hard life finally came to an end.
After these few days of hard work, Zhang Yong has made up his mind to wait for the seven counties... must go to Jingzhou, even if it is tied, it must be tied up to serve a few talented people.
"That's right! The prince can go out for a walk! ”
Shaking his head, Peng Yi replied with a helpless look.
"That's great!"
Although Zhang Yong thinks that he still has a little ink in his heart, he doesn't need Peng Yi... It won't be any worse! But after experiencing battlefield fighting, that kind of blood and wildness have gradually been implanted in the root marrow, when dealing with government affairs... I always feel a little bit of a bondage.
"Where are the three thousand sailors in Xicheng now!"
Waving his arms and without restraint, Zhang Yong felt that his body and mind had been sublimated at this moment, and his thoughts suddenly became much clearer.
"It's past Xixian, and I want to arrive in Wudang tomorrow."
"Good! After the arrival of the navy, immediately set up a water village outside the city, and for a long time in the future, Wudang should be an important place in the east of the Han Dynasty; In addition, all the grain and grass that comes with it must be strictly guarded, and it is a matter of great importance, and there must be no sloppiness. ”
3,000 naval troops, 1,000 county soldiers, plus tens of thousands of stone grains transferred from Xicheng and Xixian, are enough to build Wudang City into a solid city, and it is an important place for Hanzhong to pass through in the land of Nanyang.
"Forever I know! Please rest assured! ”
Seeing that Zhang Yong was much more upright, Peng Yi subconsciously put away the somewhat ridiculous thoughts in his heart.
"I'll go out to inspect and inspect the people's situation, and I'll leave these things to you!"
patted Peng Yi's shoulder, Zhang Yong took advantage of Peng Yi's reaction yet, like a gust of wind rushing out of the county office.
"It's... The Son..."
Looking at Zhang Yong's disappearing back, and silently glancing at the mountain-like official documents on the case, Peng Yi smiled helplessly.
Before I knew it, I actually got myself into it!
Tonight... It looks like it's going to be another sleepless night.
The long lamp is the companion, the simple ink is the clothes, but what... How!
……
Wudang, school field!
After the capture of Wudang, the morale of the five thousand sons under Zhang Yong's command was even stronger, and the scattered military spirit had gradually been integrated, and the spirit and spirit were no longer the same.
Under the scorching sun, hundreds of red-blooded men with halberds and blades fought and confronted on the school field, revealing a bit of bravery.
In terms of the ability to train soldiers alone, Wei Yan is far superior to Yang Ang, Shen Tan and others.
"I've seen the Governor of the Metropolis!"
In the barracks, they have always been commensurate with their official positions, and after Zhang Yong made it clear many times, these requirements were undoubtedly stricter.
Knowing that Zhang Yong was coming, Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Wang Ping, and Ma Zhong naturally rushed to meet and did not dare to delay.
"Get up! Wen Chang, you've worked hard all these days! ”
Looking at the change of the marching formation on the school field, Zhang Yong was secretly happy.
Judging by its demeanor, although it is not as good as the most elite Dongzhou army in Han, it is not far behind.
I want to wait until Zhang Wei sees it... The look on his face is sure to be wonderful.
"Get up! The morale of the army is strong, and a certain person is relieved!
What is the current situation of the surrender and recruitment of new soldiers in Wudang City? ”
stepped forward to help a few people, and under the leadership of Wei Yan, everyone walked to one side of the tent.
"After the reduction of more than 100 old and weak, there are still 300 available, and as for the recruitment of new soldiers... These days are not ideal! Wudang after several wars, the young men in the city died in battle, and the Jingzhou army retreated south, lost their morale, and now the sons of the city are afraid of the army like a tiger, and now the newly recruited soldiers are only 100 people. ”
After understanding Zhang Yong's temperament, Wei Yanzi would not be as secretive and taboo as he was in the Jingzhou army, so he explained the current predicament.
The current situation in Wudang City... Even he has quite a headache.
At this moment, Wei Yan felt that he had gradually begun to understand why the ancients often said that it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.
