Chapter 184: Jingzhou

"Therefore, to draw bamboo, you must first become a bamboo in your chest." -----------Surname. Su Shi "Wen and Can Paint the Legend of Yanzhu in the Valley"

It is said that Chen Long picked up three peerless genius children who were famous through the ages, and the joy in his heart was overflowing, so he gave several people a serrated dagger designed by himself as a gift.

In addition to being delighted, he put the cultivation of these children in his heart, and asked Sima Decao: "First, I want to match these children with a strong teacher to practice some martial arts; Second, if I defeat Liu Biao in the future and move the governance office to Xiangyang, sir, please allow these children to enter and leave my general's mansion and try to help me govern Xiangyang, which will be counted as an internship for governing the world in the future, okay?

After listening to Long Chen's culture, Mr. Shuijing looked at the distant mountains and was silent, and finally said: "The strategic geniuses that these children have are not trivial; As for the cultivation of martial arts, if I don't want to, this martial arts teacher will be exempted. As for the general's victory over Liu Biao and other words in the future, there are virtuous people living in the world, and I just hope that the general will not kill too much. ”

When Chen Long heard this, he knew that in fact, Mr. Shui Jing agreed tactfully, at least he would not help Liu Biao deal with himself. At the moment, he didn't pursue the matter of the martial arts teacher, and said lightly: "Between this immortal mountain and spiritual water, the health of several children is certainly not a problem, and Mr. Sima can choose some ways to strengthen their bodies and let them exercise." ”

Sima Decao glanced at Chen Long deeply, and said, "You mentioned Liu Bei just now, but you don't know how he has been wandering all the time, how to enter the general's eyes?" ”

Chen Long laughed and said, "That's the current imperial uncle." The first time I saw him at Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, I felt that he was a hero, not only able to treat the people well, but also had the service of tens of thousands of enemies, and he should have a place in the world. ”

Sima Decao smiled and sighed: "It's a pity that although Liu Xuande is good, when he encounters a great man like General Chen, I am afraid that he can only continue to wander." There was a lot of ridicule in the words.

Long Chen's face was warmer, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Shui Jing used to be joking. If Mr. Heri can see Xuande, why not analyze the situation in the world at that time? If I have gained power by then, why not convince Xuande to help me. With his help, the people will be able to end the suffering caused by the war as soon as possible. Thinking of Liu Bei's ambition in his heart, he really can't pretend to be able to do it.

Sima Decao didn't say anything, turned around and walked away with his back hand, his clothes were blown up by the wind, and his posture was fluttering like a fairy. Chen Long surged with reverence, a master outside the world, although he lived in seclusion in the mountains, he knew the heroes of the world, and this was one of them.

Leaving the fairyland Water Mirror Village, Chen Long and the others hurried back to Xinye, at this time the news came, Cai Mao's troops had retreated to the southern suburbs of Xiangyang, and some path-finding makeup soldiers were constantly found near Xinye, Chen Long knew that the time for the opening was up.

With an order, the First Army Corps was an absolutely elite division, and the whole army was instigated, the baggage went first, and the various arms were in step with each other, and they went to Jiangxia along the official road. Occasionally, the road twists and turns, and the sappers open the road in the mountains, stack bridges in the water, and march to the Yangtze River in the far suburbs of Jiangxia. There was Huang Zhong's Changsha naval warship to meet it.

Press the Blue Dragon Army troops to smoothly open the table. While the generals led their troops to march, Chen Long was still sitting next to a simple farmhouse in Xinye, studying countermeasures with Zhao Yun and the two major military divisions to destroy Liu Biao and fight Jingzhou.

This time, it was Zhao Yun who spoke first, which reminded Chen Long that Zhao Yun was also a famous general with wisdom and courage in the official history. I only listened to Zhao Yun's analysis: "The Jingzhou Navy is famous all over the world, and my Qinglong Army can't win it in battle." But we can completely avoid a water war with Liu Biao, march from Lingling and Changsha, and besiege Jiangling first to see if Xiangyang comes to the rescue. If you come to the rescue, you will set a trap, and if you don't come to rescue, you will go to Jiangling first, and Xiangyang will fall into an isolated and helpless situation. When the time comes, attack Xiangyang by land from the south, leaving only the Yangtze River passage for Liu Biao to escape, and completely drive Liu Biao to the north of the Yangtze River, but then plan for the future. ”

Long Chen smiled and nodded, and asked, "Zilong's words are very kind. However, how to avoid the emptiness of Changsha and prevent the sneak attack of Jiangxia Huangzu? Nominally, Huang Zu was also a general in Jingzhou. Zhao Yun was speechless for a while.

Zhou Budo said: "General Zhao's words, with his own strengths and the shortcomings of defeating the enemy, are very suitable for the art of war. Brother Xi Zhicai was able to take Wuling, which really established a bridgehead for us to attack Jiangling by land. It's just that the troops are slightly insufficient, and if a large number of troops go to defend Changsha, it will be even more stretched. ”

Chen Long followed his train of thought and said, "Then whether or not to guard against Huang Zu will become the key to whether or not you can attack Jiangling with all your might." ”

Zhou Budo said: "Huang Zu has always supported the army and respected himself, and he doesn't seem to listen to Liu Biao's words very much, this time Huang Zhong's Changsha naval army entered the Yangtze River, it seems that Huang Zu's side has no reaction, isn't it a good sign?"

Long Chen squinted his eyes and said fiercely: "If he dares to attack easily, I will pull out his Jiangxia first." ”

Guo Jia, who had not spoken, applauded and said with a smile: "Just waiting for the lord's words." If Jiang Xia is pulled, I am afraid that Liu Biaojue will not dare to sleep, and he will be afraid that we will block the waterway all day long, thinking about how to escape. ”

Everyone laughed, Guo Jia continued: "But it's not recommended to attack directly, why don't you secretly communicate with the song first, threaten and lure it?" Looking at his movements this time, it seems that there is a sense of getting closer. My lord is outside, and Changsha and Wuling are at their fingertips, and Huang Zu must also be weighing this achievement. What's more, my lord is a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager He! ”

The last sentence is quite a language problem, Chen Longxin said that you are a prodigal Guo Jia, looking for an opportunity to damage you back. Thinking carefully about the truth in Guo Jia's words, he said: "Feng Xiao said that Huang Zu should be the most important thing, and I agree with this. This task was handed over to Feng Xiao, and he wrote a letter to Huang Zu, on the one hand, he threatened, saying that my Qinglong Army was invincible, invincible, and had the support of the royal family; On the other hand, it is clear that Jingzhou will have a place for Huang Zu in the future, and I will ensure that he will be a marquis and a general, and he will live in the court. How to choose, I think Huang Zu should understand. ”

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, and Chen Long said again: "However, the problem of insufficient troops still exists. Let's talk about it, where to borrow some soldiers? ”

After asking this question, the first thing that appeared in Chen Long's mind was Yizhou Liu Yan, and sure enough, Zhou Budo immediately said: "The most convenient, of course, is Yizhou Liu Yan, first, if the Yizhou naval army goes downstream, it can reach Jiangling in a few days, and second, we have just cooperated with the Yizhou army to conquer Hanzhong, Liu Yan and Zhang Lu are bound to be grateful, and they should agree to send troops." ”

Guo Jia and Chen Long shook their heads at the same time, Guo Jia said: "Although Yuan Zhi's words are reasonable, Liu Yan and Liu Biao are both relatives of the Han family, and they are both royal relatives in name, and the Han Dynasty has not died in the dynasty, so there will never be a superficial conflict." Chen Long and Zhao Yun nodded at the same time, and Zhou Budo stuck out his tongue and said, "It's true!" I forgot that they are all Han clan relatives!"

Guo Jia said again: "Nanyang Yuan Shu is ambitious, and he could have used it to threaten Liu Biaojiangbei and rule the river with the lord in the future." It's a pity that he is calling for wind and rain in Luoyang, and I am afraid that he has no time to take care of fighting here. ”

Chen Long was reminded by the two military advisors and said with a smile: "I have a candidate." ”

Zilong and the two military advisors looked at the lord at the same time, listening to him say who he wanted to choose. Long Chen looked at Zhao Yun with a smile and said, "Do you think Zilong will run a trip, or will you ask Master and his old man to run a trip?"

Zhao Yun was puzzled at first, but when he saw Chen Long compare his marksmanship twice, he woke up and said, "It turned out to be him!" Wonderful, wonderful, I'll go. Zhou Budo hurriedly pulled Zhao Yun and asked, "Brother Zilong, what kind of dumb riddle did you play with the lord?" Who the hell is it? ”

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "It's Wancheng Zhang Xiu!" ”

Zhang Xiu, Yongliang Wuwei Zu Liren, the son of the hussar general Zhang Ji. The warlord who seized Wancheng in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, who studied under Tong Yuan, and was nicknamed "Beidi Gun King", and was the senior brother of Zhao Yun and Chen Long. In the official history, Zhang Xiuchu accompanied Zhang Ji on the expedition, and after Zhang Ji's death, he united with Liu Biao. Later, Cao Cao was surrendered, and because he was dissatisfied with his words and deeds, he raided Cao Cao and made peace with Liu Biao. On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, he followed Jia Xu's advice to surrender to Cao Cao again, participated in the Battle of Guandu, and became the general of Poqiang and was named the Marquis of Xuanwei. died on the way to Wuhuan in the Northern Expedition, some people say that he was forced to die by Cao Pi, and he was called the Marquis.

When Bian Zhang and Han Sui were in rebellion in Liangzhou, Jincheng's Lu Sheng attacked and killed Zu Li Chang Liu Jun. Zhang Xiu was a county official at the time, and soon looked for an opportunity to assassinate Lu Sheng, and the people in the county thought that he was very righteous, so Zhang Xiu recruited a young man and became a local hero.

In the third year of Chuping (192 AD), Dong Zhuo was killed by Lü Bu, and Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others attacked Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo. Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji and was promoted to General Jianzhong with military merits and was named Marquis Xuanwei. After the defeat and separation, Zhang Xiu led the troops to occupy Wancheng, temporarily attached to Yuan Shu, and later got Jia Xu to vote and became the overlord of Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu's martial arts are strong, and Jia Xu comes to help, Yuan Shu is not in Nanyang, so he naturally has the ambition of self-reliance. Chen Long looked at Zhao Yun with a smile and said, "Actually, it is not difficult to persuade Zhang Xiu, but to persuade Jia Xu, you also need me to write a letter of resignation and bring it to Mr. Jia for me." Whether he can listen to my opinion and prompt Zhang Xiu to lead the troops to the north of the Xiangyang River to echo depends on the will of heaven. As he spoke, he wrote a letter to Jia Xu, folded it and put it in a letterhead bag, and wrote a few big characters on it: The world's military advisor, the world's mastermind, Mr. Wenhe personally received it. Lingling Chen Wenlong respectfully.
