Liu Chan's fleet sailed to the Xiangyang Valley,

He heard the exploration ship in front of him say that he had discovered the enemy's main fleet, and immediately clenched his fists.

Here it comes.

The Wei army really gathered a large army to fight Xiangyang, but I don't know if Xiangyang is in danger now.

When Ju Fu and Ding Li heard that they had discovered the enemy, they both shouted that they would lead their troops into battle.

But Huang Zhong waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice:

"You wait for the juniors to retreat, and I, Huang Zhong, will go and get a few thieves' heads first."

Ding Li saw that Huang Zhong's face was full of wrinkles, and the skin muscles on his face were relaxed, and said with a wry smile:

"At the age of the general, why bother to compete with us?

It's better to sit in the middle of the battle and order me to wait for the battle. ”

The last thing Huang Zhong wants to hear is to be accused of being old.

He raised his eyebrows and sneered:

"In the past, Lian Po was eighty years old and could still fight rice and ten catties of meat.

The princes are afraid of his bravery and dare not invade the Zhao State, I, Huang Zhong, am only seventy this year, can't I kill the thief? ”

"The more you say that, the more I want to go into battle!

Hmph, a young general who is the same age as my grandson, I still don't have to fight. ”

Ding Li: ......

Although Liu Chan knew that Huang Zhong was still excellent in martial arts at this age, he did not dare to let Huang Zhong take risks on his own.

So he ordered Huang Zhong to be the vanguard and Jufu to be the deputy vanguard to assist Huang Zhong in the battle.

The two were ordered to leave, and Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope everything is okay, after all, it is Wei General Chang Diao who leads the army.

Guan Ping didn't reveal too much to Liu Chan about Chang Diao, but Liu Chan had already guessed that he should be the internal response that Guan Ping let go.

This Neiying has actually mixed with General Fenwei, Ding Feng, who is targeting his own side,

What's going on in this world?

Cao Wei has no talent?

With this ridiculous thought, Liu Chanjun began to attack, but what happened next made Liu Chan completely unexpected-

Jufu hurriedly came back to report the news, and said in disbelief:

"Shizi, the Wei army actually retreated from Xiangyang.

They were neatly dressed, and there was no our army on the south bank, so it was not like they were forced to leave.

Behind the palace is the Wei army general Chang Diao, General Huang fought with him, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, and asked the prince to order General Huang to collect his troops! ”

The Wei army withdrew? Or retreat to the north of the river?

Could it be that they have already launched an attack on Xiangyang?

Shouldn't it, so many of them came here just to take a walk around Xiangyang City?

Liu Chan didn't understand what was going on for a while, so he hurriedly asked someone to collect the troops first.

The Han army did not rashly launch a general attack on the Wei army that retreated to Jiangbei, Huang Zhong and Jufu attacked for a while, and found that the enemy army was often behind the palace, and the morale of the whole army was high, and they could not find a flaw for a while, so they had to give up.

Arriving on the south bank, Liu Chan hurried to Xiangyang under the cover of the generals.

Seeing that the banner of the big man in Xiangyang City was still erected, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Ping and Mei Shi had just returned to the city and took off their armor, when Ma Yu came up, spit out a breath of turbidity, and said with a smile:

"I saw that Chang Diao brave in the city, and I really wanted to go out of the city to help, but fortunately, the public was safe and sound."

Thinking that Chang Diao was actually pretending to be forced in front of him, but at that time, he had nothing to do with him for a while, Guan Ping's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Hmph, this Changdiao, sooner or later he has to look good.

Several people chatted for a while, and when they heard the news from outside that Liu Chan had actually arrived, they were all surprised and delighted.

Didn't the prince go to Yizhou?

He actually returned so quickly, and it happened to be on the day when the Wei army attacked.

The son of the world has now used this army to this extent,

Or rather.

That's right, Chang Diao should be a dark chess piece ambushed by the prince, and the prince must have calculated it a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Guan Ping immediately rejoiced and hurried out of the city to greet Liu Chan.

Liu Chan saw that there was no trace of fierce fighting outside the city, and thought that the Wei army did not attack the city.

But when he walked to the cave of the city gate, he found that there was blood flowing inside, and there were a lot of corpses and scraps of meat that had not had time to be dragged away.

"What's going on?" He asked, somewhat frightened.

Guan Ping smiled and patted Mei Shi's shoulder, and said:

"It's because of General Mei's resourcefulness that our army has today's big victory!"

How dare Mei Fu pretend to be forced in front of Liu Chan, he quickly bowed to the ground humbly, and said sincerely:

"Although Umeshiki does not know the teachings of the sages, he also knows how to repay them.

In this world, only the son of the world treats us and other barbarians as human beings, and Wen Ping still wants to say that we will surrender with heavy profits, which is simply self-defeating.

Mei Shi is willing to be a slave of the prince, not a general of Cao Wei. ”

Historically, Umeshiki was capricious and accustomed to it, and whoever gave him money listened to him, and after a while, he went to vote for someone else if he was uncomfortable.

Historically, Sun Quan and Cao Pi both wanted to eradicate Meishiki, but one of the two sides occupied Jiangling and the other occupied Xiangyang.

Whoever mobilizes troops on a large scale is to give the opposite side an opportunity,

The small-scale mobilization of troops is at most a fight and the plum is deserted and fled, and it has not been able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

This also led to the gradual emergence of the Mei Barbarians in later generations, and they have been active for hundreds of years.

It stands to reason that one of the two forces occupies Yangyang and the other occupies Gangneung, so it is more in the interests of Umeshiki to have Jizhong located in the mountains near the front line of the battle between the two sides.

At the beginning, when Wen hired to woo Mei Shiki, Mei Shi was really moved.

But after hesitating for a long time, he still gave up this tempting idea.

Without him, Liu Chan's propaganda was too successful.

Mei Shiman originally believed in witch Gu, and Liu Chan began to advertise that he had the help of Haotian God from the day he arrived in Jiangling.

After a series of battles, the entire Mei clan was already convinced of this matter.

Not long ago, after Liu Chan visited Wuximan, he announced that he would treat the barbarians in all parts of his jurisdiction equally, and provided them with some sweet potatoes and dwarf rice for planting.

is the same barbarian, Wuxi Man also got a sweet potato.

The tempting taste of roasted sweet potatoes made Umeshiki and the important people of the tribe want to eat it.

They can't wait to dig up all the mountains around Zhuzhong and plant sweet potatoes to taste the delicacies given by Haotian God.

After Liu Chan's engraving printing method was promoted, he sent a lot of books to Meishiki, and also sent some storytellers who could speak barbarian to tell stories in Jizhong to encourage barbarians to learn.

Meishiki's Chinese is good, but other people in the clan basically don't know Chinese.

They were very interested in the strange world that the storyteller depicted.

But storytellers speak slowly, and often adjust their appetites,

Those barbarians can't hear the story, and scratch their ears and cheeks in a hurry,

For a while, they were all screaming to learn Chinese characters, and even the sons of several of the brothers-in-law of the clan were crying and going to school in Gangneung-

In the past, it was absolutely impossible for these barbarian children to go to school.

No one will show them their books.

Second, you teach these barbarians about the teachings of saints......

Then you're not an ordinary person.

But now that paper books have begun to be promoted, Mi Fang is also happy to let these people read and write, so that they can expand the sales scope of their books in the future.

He organized the barbarian speakers and asked them to teach the children of the Mei Barbarians to tell stories, and the teachers could use this to offset some of the forced labor.

Whether it is a barbarian or a child of a Qianshou, as long as the person who teaches is more than 1,000 literates, Mr. Teaching will also have a reward.

This good thing is too tempting for those Qiantou and low-level poor people who are coarse and have no chance of being promoted.

In their spare time, they collect apprenticeships everywhere, according to the interests of students. Individualized.

Just ask for more literacy, regardless of whether he is a saint's teachings or not.

Now Jiangling is full of loud reading, those barbarian children used to be brave and ruthless, often fighting, but now the comparison is actually who is more literate and who is more educated, it is also quite strange.

In this case, Umeshiki told everyone in the clan about his request, which immediately caused a wail.

Who dares to embarrass a god like Shizi?

Moreover, the prince is really very good to them barbarians,

If you are annoyed by the son, only Mei Shi will be promoted and rich, and the children and grandchildren of other people will not have books to read, let alone bizarre stories to hear, maybe they will not be able to eat delicious roasted sweet potatoes in the future, and they can only farm in the mountains all their lives, and they will be beaten from time to time.

And the prince actually counted them as the people of the big man......

Don't look at these barbarians who are used to it, but they are not stupid, if they can let their children and grandchildren be Han people, they are naturally willing.

surrendered to Cao Wei, only Mei Fu was rewarded, but the Ju clan was affected, and whoever did this kind of loss-making business was really stupid.

So many people objected together, and some even said that if Mei Shiki agreed, they would go to report to Guan Ping.

Mei Shi was also afraid that they would sell him, so he could only give up, and swore that he was a diehard loyalist of the pure ministers of the Han Dynasty and would never do such a stupid thing.

These barbarians saw that Mei Shi was unhappy, so they simply learned and sold it, and a group of people got together to twitter ideas, using the routines they had just learned in the book to encourage Mei Shi to trick Wen Ping into being deceived.

If you capture the clerk, it will naturally be a great achievement.

Mei Fuxin said the same, so he revised his previous plan to cooperate with Wen Ping to sneak attack Xiangyang, and changed it to take the initiative to expose his identity, telling Guan Ping that he refused Cao Wei's reward because of righteousness, and cooperated with Guan Ping to capture Wen Ping.

Before, he suddenly appeared in front of Guan Ping to show his identity, which really scared Guan Ping half to death.

Later, when he heard Mei Shiki's loyalty, he secretly called it a fluke.

If it weren't for the previous arrangement of the world, I'm afraid I would be unlucky.

The witty Guan Ping thought that the chances of anti-fishing Wenpin taking the bait were not small, so he hurriedly discussed the specific details with Mei Shiki.

Sure enough, Wen Ping, who has known Mei Shi for 20 years, was completely defenseless.

Where did he ever think that this barbarian Meishiki would have such a mental calculation,

This time, he easily fell into Mei Shiki's calculations, and his reputation was ruined.

Mei Shi made a great achievement, and Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly grabbed Mei Shi's hands and sighed:

"General Mei is so loyal and courageous, Zen is inexplicable-

Who said that the general is a barbarian and does not obey the king?

If you want me to say, the general is not only not a barbarian, but also a pure minister of the Han Dynasty, and the ministers will take the general as a model in the future. ”

Liu Chan has led the troops for a long time, and his ability to pour chicken soup for the soul is also quite hot.

Umeshiki was poured a little on his head, and pretended to be grateful:

"The son of the world praises, the son of the world praises."

After the chicken soup is poured, of course, there must be substance.

Liu Chan decided to promote Meifu to the rank of general of the Fu army, and he was still stationed in Zhuzhong, giving him a large amount of silk cloth and books.

Zhuzhong is behind Xiangyang, and with this place, Xiangyang's already terrifying defense will be further improved.

Liu Chan also encouraged all the young and strong children in the school to read and write, so as to completely get rid of the status of barbarians.

After getting the reward of Meishiki, Liu Chan naturally asked Guan Ping to bring Wen Ping up to ask.

Wen Ping, the general of Cao Wei, who has been dominant since the Battle of Chibi, never thought that he did not fall into the hands of Guan Yu, but was designed and captured by a villain like Mei Shiki.

Not only is it not a history line, but it is going to become a joke.

He was quite sluggish like a defeated rooster, and when Liu Chan asked him anything, he dragged out his long voice to answer.

Such a crisp and neat cooperation made Liu Chan quickly figure out Cao Wei's strategy for this battle.

It turned out that it was really the same as he imagined, using a sneak attack on the three eastern counties as a bait to lure the main force of the Han army to rescue the three eastern counties.

After that, they used the internal response to assault and fight for Xiangyang.

The clerk explained simply, and Liu Chan was not too embarrassed.

He asked Wen Ping to take Wen Ping down to rest first, and personally presided over the celebration banquet to ask for credit for Guan Ping and Mei Fu and Ma Yu, Liao Hua and others who had meritorious service in defending the city.

During the banquet, everyone drank very happily,

Only Fa Zheng frowned, looking thoughtful.

Seeing that he was still pondering, Liu Chan smiled and said:

"Didn't you think this battle was too easy and easy, something was wrong?"

Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"So the prince also felt it?"

Liu Chan: ......

"I didn't notice much of a problem before.

Wen Ping said that this was Jia Xu's plan, and I felt that something was not right. ”

"Jia Xu's conspiracy completely needs the cooperation of Xiangyang Neiying,

Otherwise, if he can't take Xiangyang, Cao Wei will end up in vain no matter how many routes he goes out.

This person is thoughtful, and he shouldn't have to be so scheming......

It's really weird. ”
