Chapter 769: Into Xiangyang
Next, Zhuge Liang made relevant arrangements for Fu Xun, that is, to let Fu Xun open the way before Liu Yu's army.
This job is easy for Fu Xun, he came here to do this, Zhuge Liang's arrangement is too satisfactory for Fu Xun. What's more, Fu Xun got Liu Yu's attitude towards him from Zhuge Liang, and Fu Xun was both obedient and willing to work.
Fu Xun went out happily, and Pang Tong said to Zhuge Liang a little speechlessly: "Isn't Fu Xun just an old minister of Liu Biao, is it necessary to stammer like this?" ”
"Shi Yuan, Fu Xun looks like a small person. But he is a person from Jingzhou. We were born in Jingzhou, if we don't treat the Jingzhou scholars better, then who else will help us in the court in the future. Zhuge Liang smiled.
Pang Tong naturally didn't expect that Zhuge Liang was already planning the future situation, so he could only say: "You are amazing, when it comes to taking precautions, you can't compare to you below." ”
"That's a lot of nonsense. Let's go, Your Majesty is still going to Xiangyang, we can't hold back! Zhuge Liang once again pulled Pang Tong and left.
Pang Tong felt that he had been led by Zhuge Liang's nose, but he couldn't think of any way to refuse, so he could only follow Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang, as the chief military advisor, immediately made arrangements for Liu Jun in Nanyang. First of all, a part of the troops must be left as the main force to defend the town, and Zhang Xiu, who had been guarding Wancheng before, was arranged by Zhuge Liang and Liu Yu to guard Nanyang Town. Liu Yu also deliberately crowned Zhang Xiu as a general of Yangwei, and concurrently served as the Taishou of Wancheng and Nanyang, responsible for the military of the two counties. Zhang Xiu's career as a military general has reached a small peak, so naturally he will not object, after all, there are so many generals under Liu Yu's command, and the opportunity to make his turn to make military exploits is too rare, so it is better to guard here now. Liu Yu would not let Zhang Xiu take such a small number of troops to guard Nanyang County, he ordered Luoyang, Xuchang, and Chen Liu to transfer some troops to Nanyang to strengthen the defensive force here. With such an arrangement, Zhang Xiu also became a general with peace of mind.
After the arrangements were made, Liu Yu got into the carriage dedicated to the Son of Heaven and headed towards Xiangyang City.
Unlike Liu Yu's arrival in Nanyang, on the official road to Xiangyang, there was no situation where the people spontaneously came out to greet them. Liu Yu didn't have any sense of loss, as an emperor, he sometimes really wanted to be quiet, but unfortunately this kind of time was very rare. Now on the way to Xiangyang, Liu Yu is lying in the carriage with his eyes closed and recuperating, and it is very rare to have a clean time alone.
Fu Xun opened the way at the front of the army according to Zhuge Liang's arrangement, and no one dared to stop him wherever he went. Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's orders had reached all the officials and troops throughout Jingzhou, and they knew that the war was over. No one likes war, except for a few vicious careerists and butchers. Jingzhou has been stable for too long, and the people also hope that the peaceful days can last longer, and the soldiers also do not want to fight, do not want to fight a war without hope of victory. Liu Yu is known as an army of one million, and no one has the courage to verify whether it is true or not.
Liu Yu's army advanced smoothly all the way, and when they arrived at a place three miles away from Xiangyang, Cai Mao and others took Liu Cong out to greet them. Liu Cong suddenly wanted to go out to greet Liu Yu in white clothes, but Kuai Yue was almost scared to death. This white dress is not something that can be worn casually, only when the elders pass away, the younger generations will wear white clothes. If a prince comes out dressed in white to greet him, it means that the prince is doomed, and he has to avenge the mourning of his kingdom. Now Jingzhou is under the Shenwu Imperial Court, and Jingzhou was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, not a vassal state. And this matter can be exchanged for peace in Jingzhou, no matter how you say it, it is a good thing. Liu Cong came out in white, that is not to tell others that Liu Cong is not willing to submit at all, and wants to use white clothes to express his grief and indignation.
As soon as Cai Mao heard Kuai Yue's explanation, she immediately took off Liu Cong's white clothes, and then put on very gorgeous clothes for Liu Cong, even if Liu Cong was unwilling, he could only endure it.
Liu Yu saw the majestic Xiangyang City from afar, and thought to himself that this time it was fortunate that Liu Cong was obedient, if Xiangyang was determined to resist, I am afraid that it would take a lot of effort to take it.
When Liu Cong saw Liu Yu's army, he was immediately very nervous, and he now wanted to see what the world-famous Emperor Shenwu looked like.
As time passed, Liu Yu finally appeared in front of Liu Cong. Liu Cong finally saw Liu Yu's true face, Liu Cong had never seen such an imperial character. Liu Yu found that Liu Yu was not only very handsome, but also that his slender arms and broad chest proved that Liu Yu was not a weak person, and his martial arts were very strong. Liu Cong compared himself, he was simply a little shrimp, and he couldn't be compared with Liu Yu.
"Liu Cong, the assassin of Jingzhou, pays a visit to my emperor!" Liu Cong took all the Jingzhou civil and military forces to Liu Yu and knelt down.
Liu Yu glanced at Liu Cong lightly, although Liu Cong lowered his head, Liu Yu still saw Liu Cong's appearance clearly. Liu Yu remembered that there was a saying in later generations that Liu Jingsheng's son was like a guinea dog, Liu Yu looked at Liu Cong's appearance very delicate, not like an incompetent appearance, I am afraid that it is because of his young age and his power being hollowed out.
"No rudeness!" Liu Yu stretched out his hand lightly.
Liu Cong hurriedly stood up, and then stood on the side of the road, at this time, there was no part for him to speak, and he couldn't stop Liu Yu from doing anything.
Liu Yu looked at all the Jingzhou civil and military officers with their heads down, and sneered in his heart: Except for some useful people, these are almost all wine bags and rice bags and careerists, and they don't know how to reuse them.
Cai Mao glanced at Liu Yu lightly, he didn't know what Liu Yu was going to do now, and his heart was beating a drum.
Liu Yu saw Cai Mao's small movements, and he still remembered that this was Cai Mao. Liu Yu didn't plan to talk nonsense with Cai Mao and the others at this time, and directly ordered: "Enter the city!" ”
After saying this, Liu Yu returned to his carriage, not that Liu Yu didn't want to pretend to be forced, but that Xiangyang City was still a little unsafe now. If Liu Yu had been standing on the carriage, it would be a good target, and who knows if there would be a careerist who would give Liu Yu an arrow.
The gate of Xiangyang City was open, and a large number of people appeared on both sides of the road at this time, and they were all watching, hoping to see Liu Yu's side.
Liu Yu lifted the curtain of the car, only to discover the existence of the people, thinking that it must be Cai Mao and others who took strict precautions against the people, so only the people in Xiangyang City greeted him. The people also saw Liu Yu's true face at this time, and knelt down one by one. The imperial power is supreme, and the lowly people can be content when they see the Son of Heaven.
Liu Yu glanced at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu, who had been following the carriage of the Son of Heaven, hurried over.
"Fengxian, you take a part of the soldiers and horses to take over the entire city defense of Xiangyang!" Liu Yu ordered.
"The last general obeys!" Lu Bu knew that the stakes were high, so he immediately turned around and arranged to take over the city defense.
Liu Yu began to close his eyes again, he still had a lot to do, and he needed time to make a good calculation now.
What Liu Yu didn't know was that one of the people looked at Liu Yu's carriage and said a little excitedly: "You have finally arrived in Xiangyang." We've finally had a chance to meet. ”
