Chapter 664: The Prologue to the Battle of Jingzhou I (Supplement, 7/15)
"Liu Yan will be so impatient, I also thought about it, you can take a look at this thing!" Mu Jing took out a scroll and handed it to Xi Zhicai: "Maybe there will be some answers!" ”
"What's that?"
Xi Zhicai opened the scroll and asked while reading it.
"A top secret sent back from Chengdu by Jing Wusi!" Mu Jing said softly: "Liu Yan's usual living records are not long, only a few days, but there should be a lot of problems!" ”
"Can you get this thing?"
Xi Zhicai was a little surprised: "Jing Wusi is really powerful!" ”
The living record is a life record, the problem of food and housing, there is a position for the living room, which is specifically to record this thing, but it must be the closest people around you can contact it.
"Guess who's going to get it back?" Mu Jing asked with a smile.
"It shouldn't be Tan Zong, after crippled a leg, it is a lot more gloomy, and many things will not rush into battle!" Xi Zhicai thought about it, and had a flash of inspiration: "Yue Shu! ”
"Hmm!"
The pastor nodded, there was no surprise that Xi Zhicai's talent was quick, and those who did not have this ability to react were not Xi Zhicai.
"There's something wrong with this man!" Xi Zhicai flipped through this living record and said softly.
"The problem is, but he must be in a wobbly position, otherwise we would not have seen this transcript of his life...... So I want to take a gamble! ”
Mu Jing suddenly asked: "This is a double-sided blade, if it can be used by me, it can split the enemy's head and pierce it directly into the enemy's heart!" ”
"Do you have faith?"
Xi Zhicai raised his head and glanced at him.
"I still believe in my own personality!" Mu Jing shook the hair on his forehead, made a handsome look, and said proudly: "Between me and Liu Yan, he should be able to choose!" ”
"Don't think you're too charming, what if he chooses Liu Yan?" Xi Zhicai asked coldly: "At the beginning, Jing Wusi had a Zhu Chou, and almost knocked off the banner of Jing Wusi, this Jing Wusi finally had a complexion, if there is another Yue Shu turmoil, then it will sink a little bit of Jing Wusi's spirit!" ”
"There's no such thing as a risk-not taking risks!"
Mu Jing shrugged: "We all know that we need to invest to gain in business, this is a big gamble, gambling people's hearts, I admit it if I lose, it's not very good!" ”
"You just have to be confident!"
Xi Zhicai is not entangled in this, Jing Wusi's affairs, he rarely pays attention to it, he only cares about the truth of the news, he doesn't interfere in internal affairs, this is the rule, as the boss of Beiwutang, if he interferes too much, it will exceed the rules.
"Back to business!" Xi Zhicai opened two pages of the living record in his hand and handed it to Mu Jing: "I think the reason why Liu Yan sent troops to Jingzhou should be here!" ”
"That's what I thought, too!"
Mu Jing looked at the record above, nodded, and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are always scary, aren't they?" ”
There are not many records on it, only one is 'get up in the morning, drink a bowl of medicine routinely, cough, and don't get better'.
Why do you drink medicine?
This is worth considering, and thinking about Liu Yan's impatience now, many things are beginning to become clear.
It's nothing more than a physical problem.
It is rumored that Liu Yan had an illness at the beginning of this year.
You can guess one or two.
"Now let's see, this living record is just true or false!" Xi Zhicai said: "If it's true, I'm afraid we have to prepare in advance, Yizhou is a big fat meat, we have been calculating for so long, we can't let someone pick it up!" ”
"Zhicai, you said that if we didn't give him the heirloom jade seal, would Liu Yan be willing to be a soil overlord?"
Mu Jing asked suddenly.
"I don't know!" Xi Zhicai pondered for a while, and after thinking about Mu Jing's statement, he said: "In fact, his ambition was triggered, he wanted to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, so he needs Jingzhou, Jingzhou and Yizhou to form a line, he has the courage, otherwise he wouldn't dare!" ”
"It's his chance, and it's mine!"
Mu Jing stood up: "It's a matter of time before Jingzhou fights, this time I will do my best to help him, if he doesn't go to the emperor, we will be unknown, how can we give him a self-confidence!" ”
"I'll go!"
Xi Zhicai said.
"Of course you go!" Mu Jing smiled bitterly: "I can't go if I want to, Huang Zhong is on the front line, assisted by Zhang Liao and Zhoucang, it's not a big problem, but in the face of Jingzhou, it's better for you to go, but the main general is still Huang Zhong, and you are a military advisor!" ”
"What, you're worried that I won't be able to fight?" Xi Zhicai was a little unhappy, he was the Sima of the Minghou Mansion, the first leader of the pastoral army, why couldn't he be the main general.
"If it's defensive, I dare you fight!"
Mu Jing said very bluntly: "But to attack, you have a strategy, and there is less of a general trend, which is not conducive to the outbreak of the generals and soldiers in the army, this is a fact!" ”
"Just say it, I can't be the main general!"
Xi Zhicai was a little discouraged.
What Mu Jing said, he couldn't deny it at all.
He is not a person who does not know himself, in terms of layout and strategy, he never thinks that he is worse than others, but he fights in a dignified manner, Mu Jing is not wrong, he lacks the courage and momentum to die and survive.
"Didn't I want to hit you!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "And I'm also thinking about you, you have no power to restrain the chicken, is it possible for me to let you charge into battle!" ”
"A certain is a wise general, and a wise general understands it!"
Xi Zhicai said angrily: "On the chessboard, you can win thousands of miles away, this time is the ability of so-and-so!" ”
************************************
Ba County, White Emperor City.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu according to Shu, built a city on the mountain, because a well in the city often emitted white gas, like a white dragon, he took this to call himself the White Emperor, and named this city the White Emperor City.
The location of the White Emperor City is special, choking the throat of the Yangtze River.
Jingzhou entered Shu, and the White Emperor was the pass.
It's also a closed city.
The White Emperor City was not very lively, after all, there is a river city next to it, Jiangcheng is the famous mountain city in later generations, and now it is the capital city of Ba County, which is the most populous and prosperous city in the entire Ba County.
With the Jiangcheng as a backdrop, the White Emperor City is like a dilapidated small rural city.
But in recent times, soldiers and horses have come in and out, which has made the White Emperor City more and more lively, and the whole city is like a military town, and the figures of generals can be seen everywhere.
In the center of the White Emperor City, there is a mansion, which is the county government, which has now been requisitioned, because the White Emperor City is basically full of soldiers and horses, even if the people have moved to Jiangzhou.
In the mansion, the burly Yan Yan was in the upper position, and he was instructing his generals: "Give you three more days to get me enough boats to go down the river, not to do my best, but to must, understand!" ”
"No!"
The generals commanded.
"Zhang Ren has seen Yan Taishou!"
Zhang Ren's straight body walked in from the outside, walked into the lobby, and saluted the people in the hall.
"General Zhang, no!"
Yan Yan hurriedly walked down, although he was the Taishou of Ba County, and he was holding the soldiers of Ba County, and the ordinary people of the State Pastoral Mansion came down, he could afford this courtesy, but Zhang Ren saluted, he didn't dare to follow.
Who is Zhang Ren, that is the number one general by Liu Yan's side, holding the Dongzhou Army with the strongest troops and the strongest combat effectiveness under Liu Yan.
His courtesy, Yan Yan didn't dare to accept it.
"General Zhang is seated!"
"The lord commands, Yuba County, all military orders that are too dignified and guarded!" Zhang Ren shook his head and said to Yan Yan: "This position is still too Yan to sit!" ”
Yan Yan was not reluctant, he was the head snake, and now he was in charge of everything in Bajun, let Zhang Ren take the seat, and it was not easy to explain to the arrogant soldiers under his command, but he didn't dare to snub Zhang Ren, let Zhang Ren sit on the right and sit on an equal footing.
"I, the vanguard of the Dongzhou Army, 20,000 soldiers, have arrived in Jiangzhou, I don't know how the preparations are on the side of White Emperor City?" Zhang Ren got straight to the point and said: "The lord has already negotiated with Hanzhong and sent troops at the same time, so we must hurry up and send troops out of Yizhou!" ”
"Our Bajun soldiers have gathered, but there are not enough warships!"
Yan Yan said: "I thought that going down the river would make us a little faster, but now there are not enough boats, and it is difficult to do it!" ”
The Yangtze River is a big river, although there are some waves in this section of Shu, but it is not impossible to go, if you use ships to transport troops, you can avoid some city passes, and go straight into the hinterland of Jingzhou.
The point is that there are not many ships in Yizhou.
There are a lot of warships in Jiangzhou, and there are not many warships that can be used at all, most of them are warships and ships, and there are no building ships, and it will be troublesome to transport troops.
"How many soldiers and horses can the ships currently being prepared carry?"
"Ten thousand!"
"Leave it all to me!" Zhang Ren said categorically: "I am the pioneer and enter Jingzhou first!" ”
