Chapter 72: Lu Yi, it's up to you to decide
Liu Chan stepped on the ground under his feet and slowly climbed the tower of Xiangyang City in the cool breeze on the river.
The majestic city stands by the river, and the people in the city are really as small as ants.
If you choose to attack, I don't know how many lives you will have to pay to take this city.
Providence, and only providence, can explain all this.
From the time he discovered the crossing door to the present, Liu Chan deeply felt that there was an invisible force that was constantly pushing him forward.
If everything before is still roughly in line with the trend of history,
From the moment he conquered Xiangyang, everything in the book was completely disconnected from his own world.
Historically, Guan Yu once had the opportunity to break through Fancheng,
But even if you can take advantage of the flood to break through Fancheng and want to shake the strong city of Xiangyang, you still have to pay a lot of sacrifices.
And no small amount of luck.
"It must be the mother who protects Adou in the sky."
Liu Chan took a deep breath, and then slapped the arrow battlements of the city tower hard, and shouted:
"Xiangyang, we have recovered!"
Because Liu Chan's mood was a little bad when he entered the city, Zhuge Qiao did not arrange for his subordinates to look up outside the city and listen to the son's lecture.
Liu Chan sighed alone at the empty riverbank, no matter how you look at this meeting, it is a little embarrassing.
But Liu Chan didn't care,
Because only he knows what it all means.
Capturing Xiangyang means connecting the Han River,
Although Liu Chan is geographically illiterate, he also knows that from here to the west along the Han River, it is all land occupied by his own family.
Even if it was really as devastating as "Three Kingdoms", Dongwu would not be able to go north to attack Xiangyang again.
To keep this place is to keep the hope of the rejuvenation of the Han family.
How is this not rejoicing.
Breaking through Xiangyang, Liu Chan made a list of Anmin, and at the same time hurried to let people inform Guan Yu of the good news.
Seeing that Liu Chan was in a good mood, Zhuge Qiao stepped forward slowly and said:
"Childe, my subordinate has a suggestion."
"Oh?" Liu Chan was overjoyed and said, "Please also ask Brother Aqiao to come quickly." β
After leaving Chengdu, Zhuge Qiao has always played the role of hindsight, and rarely takes the initiative to give Liu Chan advice.
Of course, this made Liu Chan overjoyed.
Zhuge Qiao smiled and said:
"I don't know what Gongzi thinks, can our army's Northern Expedition be regarded as a complete achievement?"
Liu Chan was stunned and said:
"Count, don't count."
Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he is not arrogant enough that a Northern Expedition can directly end Cao Cao.
The initial goal of his Northern Expedition was to occupy Xiangyang and seize the initiative to attack the world.
Now that Xiangyang has been reached, if Fancheng is broken, it is equivalent to strengthening the barrier of Xiangyang and completely grasping the initiative of the world.
Even if Fancheng is not breached, separated by a Han River, it is difficult to pose any threat to Xiangyang soon with the strength of the current Cao army.
So Zhuge Qiao asked Liu Chan if he had reached the initial prediction.
Liu Chan never thought that Xiangyang would be so easy to get his hands on.
He was a little hesitant just now, and said in his heart that his luck was so explosive, should he keep fighting,
After defeating Yu Ban, try to see if you can defeat Xu Huang,
Maybe if you fight all the way, you will soon be able to revive the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital.
Seeing Zhuge Qiao looking at himself with a solemn face, Liu Chan said:
"What do you think Brother Aqiao?"
"I don't dare to think about it," Zhuge Qiao said,
"I hope that Gongzi can persuade Guan Gong, accept it when he sees it, and take a break from the sword soldiers-
We can't persuade this matter, and only when the son speaks, can there be a little possibility. β
"Brother, just speak freely and tell me why."
Liu Chan put on a posture of humbly asking for advice, Zhuge Qiao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sat upright and talked eloquently:
"There are three reasons for this."
"First, our army is only three counties in Jingzhou,
Xiangyang is dilapidated, and it is difficult to supply military funds for a while.
On the contrary, it is necessary to help the people in the county with military funds to reassure the people.
If there is another war, it will inevitably cost the people and money, and I am afraid that there will be changes in the rear. β
"Second, the old thief is powerful, and it can be broken overnight.
If there is another war, the old thief will come to the country,
Our army is in a hurry to fight, it is difficult to find a chance to win, it is better to break through Fancheng and rest the whole army, waiting for the next year to go hand in hand with the lord,
The lord is out of Hanzhong, and we will wait for Xiangyang to win. β
"The third ......"
Speaking of this, Zhuge Qiao bit his lip, and finally said with difficulty:
"Third, Gongzi said that Lu Meng was just pretending to be sick,
That Lu Yi wanted to replace LΓΌ Meng and stationed in Lukou, and when he heard that Gongzi had broken through Xiangyang, Sun Quan decided to send all the Eastern Wu soldiers to attack Jiangling.
Jiangling is an important town on the Yangtze River, and the prince is reviving the Han dynasty day by day, plotting the world, and must not easily give up this city......
This, Qiao Zhi's foolish opinion, and please ask the son for advice. β
Zhuge Qiao's father is Zhuge Jin,
He didn't want to say half a bad word about Soochow when he was killed before.
But the intentions of the Eastern Wu ministers to plot against Jiangling have become more and more obvious.
Zhuge Qiao, as the number one fighter, naturally can't turn a blind eye.
He boldly planned for Liu Chan this time, thinking that Cao Cao was beaten up a lot now, and it was estimated that he would not be able to return to his senses for a while.
However, Sun Quan, who is strong and strong, has become the biggest threat at the moment.
Liu Chan also thinks so.
"Cheng, Brother Aqiao," Liu Chan said approvingly,
"It is better to listen to your words than to read ten thousand books,
I also think that Soochow is the biggest problem at the moment,
This battle easily took Xiangyang, and our army did not suffer losses,
If the Eastern Wu came to attack, it would definitely be attacked head-on, forcing it to dare not think about the westward expansion again. β
Zhuge Qiao suddenly said:
"It turns out that the son has already made a decision in his heart,
Joe was hesitant before, he was really a mere nuisance. β
Liu Chan: ......
It's over, it seems that Zhuge Qiao's problem will not be cured for a while.
Β·
Jianye, Sun Quan walked around the palace irritably with his hands behind his back,
For the past few days, a layer of dark clouds has been shrouded in his face, and even Zhang Zhao, who has always had a straight temper, did not dare to raise the bar with Sun Quan at this time, so as not to anger this scheming and vigorous Dongwu Supreme.
"Ziming, Ziming, you can't die!"
Sun Quan muttered in his mouth, heard a noise next door, and hurriedly leaned on the wall, observing the movement next door through the small hole in the wall.
After LΓΌ Meng vomited blood and returned to Jiangdong, Sun Quan arranged for him to live in his palace and sent the best medical officers to take care of him day and night.
He was afraid of disturbing Lu Meng's recuperation, so he deliberately dug a small hole in the wall.
Whenever he heard Lu Meng coughing, he hurriedly leaned on the wall and secretly observed.
The medical officer did his best, but Lu Meng's condition was indeed too delayed, and it was difficult to recover for a while.
Sun Quan heard that it was Pan Zhang who made Lu Meng angry like this, and almost slashed Pan Zhang in anger.
Fortunately, everyone begged bitterly, and Pan Zhang said that Lu Meng had other instructions, so he didn't kill the killer.
However, he didn't bother to listen to Pan Zhang's so-called message, so he asked him to explain to Zhuge Jin himself.
At this time, Sun Quan was lying on the wall and secretly observing, and unexpectedly heard Lu Meng, who had been in a coma for a long time, muttering over there:
"Supreme...... Supreme ......"
He was full of excitement, and immediately ran over, chased away the medical officer, held Lu Meng's palm hard, and said:
"Ziming, rest well, he ...... every day"
Hearing Sun Quan's voice, Lu Meng, who was half-asleep and half-awake for more than half a month, widened his eyes,
He didn't know where he got the strength, grabbed Sun Quan's hand, and couldn't help but say:
"Liu Chan!
This son must not be kept!
Be careful, don't fall for his poisonous scheme! β
He tried his best to shout this sentence, and as soon as the words came out, he began to cough again,
Sun Quan remembered that he was at a loss, and while summoning the medical officer, he said in a panic:
"Don't say it again, don't say it again,
Come on, come on, come on, come on, β
Lu Meng felt very heavy in his chest, he desperately endured the huge pain, and said with difficulty:
Lu Yi ...... Lu Yi ......"
"That's it!" Sun Quan stomped his feet and hurriedly covered Lu Meng's mouth, "Good rest, good rest, don't say it again!" β
Lu Meng was cut off by Sun Quan, and the spirit that he had finally mentioned immediately disappeared.
The medical officer hurried over, saw Lu Meng close his eyes again, and quickly probed his pulse.
At this time, the medical officer was shocked and trembled, and said in fear:
"Supreme, General Lu is in a hurry, this time...... I'm afraid it's more auspicious this time! β
"Hey!"
Sun Quan said in his heart that Lu Meng was still worried about the war during his illness, and he was sure that he would be worried about the candidate for the Lukou garrison after he fell.
During his illness, he chanted Lu Yi's name repeatedly, obviously expecting Lu Yi quite highly.
Well, although Lu Yi is not qualified enough, he can be regarded as both civil and military.
Let him temporarily be stationed at Lukou to replace Ziming,
When Guan Yu is broken and Jiangling is captured, Ziming's condition must be very good.
When the time comes, when the time comes, Lone will have to chase the world with Ziming!
