Chapter 552: Sun Cao Formed an Alliance, Liu Bei Entered Shu (13)

Ming Gong! ”

Xun You, Xi Zhong and others came together.

"Sit down!" Gongsun Du knew that there must be something big, but he didn't panic, nodded, and said calmly.

"Yes, Ming Gong."

A few people took their seats, and Xun You spoke: "Duke Ming, Liu Bei has led the army into Shu." ”

"Huh?"

Gongsun Du was taken aback, frowned slightly, and said, "But the people from Youzhou went to Xiangyang?" ”

"Huh?" Xun Yu was puzzled and said, "Yes, it was Liu Zhang's envoy who invited Liu Bei to help him." ”

A bright light flashed in Gongsun Du's mind, and he asked urgently, "Who is the messenger?" ”

"Zhang Song!"

"Zhang Yongnian?"

"Zhang Yongnian?"

"Zhang Song!"

"Zhang Song? Isn't he the word Joe? When is the word eternal? ”

"Huh? Is that so? ”

Gongsun Du smiled embarrassedly, and scolded Lord Luo in his heart: "I remember wrong, it turned out to be Zhang Ziqiao!" Ha ha! ”

Guo Jia said abruptly: "My subordinates remember that there is a person in Yizhou who is Yongnian!" ”

"Really?" Gongsun Du turned to be a little surprised.

"That's right!" Guo Jia said in a good time, "Guanghan Peng Yi is the word Yongnian. ”

"Peng Yongnian?"

Gongsun Du had some impression of this person, but it was not deep, he shook his head, his face sank again, and said: "If the messenger is Zhang Song, I'm afraid it won't be long before Yizhou changes hands." ”

"The subordinates and others also have the same opinion, so they came to discuss with the Ming Duke to see if they can interfere with this matter, otherwise Liu Bei will sit big and it will be unfavorable to dominate the world in the future." Xun Yu immediately responded.

When the words fell, Xi Zhong said: "That's right, Liu Zhang sits in Yizhou, which seems to be powerful, but in fact, he is strong on the outside, and tens of thousands of people can take it down." However, it is not so easy to change to Liu Bei. Now Liu Beiwu has Yu, Wen Ping and others, and Wen has Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others, and it can be said that they have actually become the princes second only to Ming Gong and Cao Cao. In addition, the character tempered by years of exile is more than a hundred times stronger than Liu Zhang, and it will not be so easy to win Yizhou at that time. ”

Immediately afterwards, he said: "The Shu Road is difficult and dangerous, which is not conducive to the movement of the army, even if there are many troops, it will not help. Moreover, our Ming Army (Youzhou Army has become a thing of the past and has officially changed its name) is famous for its cavalry, and its combat strength is mostly in the cavalry army, which can be said to be of no help to attack Yizhou. ”

Gongsun Du nodded, he was very aware of the hardships and dangers of Yizhou, with the help of Xu Shu and others, it could indeed be said to be impregnable, but-

"You don't have to worry too much about this, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. Besides, we're far away in the Northlands, and we can't do anything about it. The most important thing is, do you think you didn't think of this? Didn't prepare? ”

"Oh? What is Ming Gong's preparation? ”

Xun You and the others were all dazzled and were aroused by curiosity.

"Do you remember Chu Yan?"

"Chu Yan?"

"That's the mountain...... Yes...... Yes, the mountain army, isn't it good at mountain warfare! I see! ”

"Let's just say, when Ming Gong had to get a mountain army, it turned out that it was for this, Ming Gong was really far-sighted, and it was beyond the reach of his subordinates!"

Gongsun Du smiled faintly, then thought about it, and said: "However, Chu Yan alone can't take Yizhou, and the army must be expanded." Who do you think is up to the task? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and then at this time, Guo Jia spoke: "Ming Gong, there is one of my subordinates who recommends it!" ”

"Tell me about it?" Gongsun Du looked at Guo Jia curiously. If Xun You and a few people spoke, he would not be surprised at all, but he would be a little curious if he was a lazy person like Guo Jia.

Not only him, but even Xun Yu and several others looked at him with inquiring eyes.

Guo Jia's cheeks twitched slightly, obviously he also knew why, so he stabilized his mind and said, "Ming Gong still remembers the original Black Mountain Army?" ”

"Black Mountain Army?"

Everyone suddenly realized and remembered, but ......

"Are you sure he'll agree?" Gongsun Du frowned.

Speaking of Zhang Niujiao, you have to pull out a lot of the past.

When Gongsun Du went south to Jizhou, the first battle was decided, Zhang Niujiao sent troops to help for various reasons, and finally even put the entire Montenegrin army under the command of Gongsun Du, but Zhang Niujiao refused to serve him, and asked all the Montenegrin troops to disarm and return to the field, and no longer go to the days of precariousness and licking blood.

Gongsun Du, out of various considerations, agreed to his request. Later, Gongsun Du also invited Chu Yan and others to join the army as a general, hoping that he could enter the army as a general, but the other party did not agree, and refused on the grounds that he was old and tired of fighting.

God is old! After the establishment of sincerity, there are many old men, but how old is Huang Zhong, he is still not old after half a hundred! You're much younger than him, where are you? Tired of fighting......

Guo Jia said confidently: "Duke Ming, my subordinates heard that Zhang Niujiao is obedient to one person, if the lord can let her help, some small things will definitely be caught." ”

However, Gongsun Du was silent when he heard this. The same is true for Xun You, because they all know who that person is, but they are reluctant to go to this person.

"Forget it!"

After a long time, Gongsun Du spoke: "There are other arrangements for this matter, so there is no need to look for him and her." ”

"Ming Gong ......"

Guo Jia wanted to persuade again, but Gongsun Du stopped him: "Okay, needless to say, this matter is settled." ”

Guo Jia had to nod in agreement, and the rest of the people looked at Gongsun Du curiously.

Gongsun Du understood, but did not mean to explain, and said: "Liu Bei's entry into Shu is a foregone conclusion, everyone should think about how to deal with it when they go back!" In addition, there is a month at most, and if you want to send troops to Yanzhou, you must be prepared. ”

"Yes, Ming Gong!"

The crowd quickly dispersed.

In the following month, the Ming army continued to gather in Gaotang, Liyang and other cities close to Yanzhou, and in just one month, it gathered an army of 300,000, including 250,000 cavalry troops and only 50,000 infantry troops. At the same time, a large amount of materials are gathered here.

For a moment, the situation became tense.

Cao Cao knew that he was not an opponent, so he hurriedly summoned Sun Ce and invited him to send troops to help. Although Sun Ce was unwilling, because he had already made an alliance, he could not repent, so he had to order someone to lead his army north, enter Shouchun, and threaten the southern part of Xuzhou.

To Cao Cao's surprise and Sun Ce's annoyance, Gongsun Du didn't say anything about it, as if Sun Ce's army of 80,000 was nothing.

"What kind of confidence does Gongsun Du have to ignore Sun Ce's 80,000 horses?" Cao Cao had already prepared to press on Gongsun Du as soon as he mobilized the army, but now he ...... You can only stand still!

"Gongsun dog thief robbed the orphan's concubine, and regarded the orphan as nothing, really damn it, damn it!" Sun Ce was furious and planned to lead his army into Xuzhou, but was dissuaded by Lu Su and others.

At the same time, news from Yizhou kept coming.

"Ming Gong, Liu Bei went to Yufu (Jiangguan), went down without a fight, and according to it."

"Duke Ming, Liu Bei's subordinate Wei Yan fought with Bajun Yan Yan, defeated and returned, and he was defeated and captured! After being released, Yan Yan surrendered! ”

"Duke Ming, under the leadership of Yan Yan, Liu Bei drove straight into Guanghan (i.e., Yucheng), and was blocked by Zhang Ren, the general of Shuzhong."

Well? Can't Feng Chick still escape his fate?

Gongsun Du thought like this, not for anything else, but for this resourceful man with outstanding intelligence, but the destiny of heaven was short-lived.

To save or not to save? Can't make it in time?

"Duke Ming, Zhang Ren designed to get rid of Pang Tong, and was rescued by Wei Yan on the spot, and captured him on the spot, but Zhang Ren swore not to surrender. Pang Tong wanted to behead him and make a strong reputation, but Liu Bei took pity on his loyalty and rescued him, and now he is imprisoned in Guanghan. ”

"Ming Gong, please save my brother's life!" This is not another news sent, but what Zhao Yun said when he got the news and came to ask for it. After thinking about it for a while, Gongsun Du agreed to his request.

"Ming Gong, Liu Beitun is stationed in Guanghan, and people slander Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang is confused. Liu Bei secretly sent people to Chengdu, but now they have been besieged, and they will go down in a few days. ”

"Okay, give a lot of publicity to Liu Bei about taking Tongzongzhou County, and make this hypocrite discredited, and everyone will see his true colors!"

"Yes, Ming Gong!"

"Ming Gong, Ma Chao attacked Baishui Pass, and there is still no inch."

"Oh? Ma Chao is very brave, and he was blocked by a small Baishui Pass? Do you know who its guards are? ”

"It is reported that there are two guards, one of them is surnamed Yang Mingfu, and the other is surnamed Huo Mingjun!"

"It turned out to be these two people, and it was difficult to be Ma Chao! It's a pity that Liu Jiyu has a lot of talents, but he can't use it, it's a pity! Cry out! ”
