Chapter 690: Destroying Shu (5)
Langzhong, the northern city of Ba County, is only three or two days away from Jiameng Pass.
Liu Ba (this is Liu Ba of Ba County), because of Lingling Liu Ba, Liu Bei has a lot of trust in him, relying on him as the Brazilian Taishou, a former general, stationed in Langzhong, an important town in the north of Yizhou.
The name change of Jiamengguan failed to make the trip, but the Ba County was divided, which was approved by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and Langzhong was the county rule, and the surrounding cities of Nanchong, Xichong, Hanchang, Anhan, and Xuanhan were under the jurisdiction of the city, and Brazil County was established.
Former General's Palace.
When Liu Ba returned from hunting, he handed over the prey to the people in the house, and went to the study, because when he entered the city, he had already sent people to look for Cangcao.
Liu Bafang sat down in the study, and Cangcao rushed over.
"General!"
Liu Ba saw that he was sweating profusely, and he must have rushed over immediately after getting the news, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Well, Cangcao, please take a seat." ”
"General Xie."
Cangcao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What is the important matter for the general to summon his subordinates to come?" ”
"Has the spring planting arrangement gone down?"
"General Hui, it's already arranged."
"Then let the people cultivate what they ought to cultivate." Liu Ba said in a deep voice.
Cang Cao suddenly understood why he suddenly called him here, but he also insisted and replied: "General, now is not the time for intensive cultivation, and it must be done until the end of the month." ”
Liu Ba said strongly: "At the end of the month? No, plant now. ”
Seeing that Cang Cao's face was uncertain, Liu Ba shook his head and asked: "The Ming army has always been brave and diligent, but in the past two years, it has always been on the defensive and has not marched into the army, why do you think this is?" ”
"Uh...... Didn't you annex Yanyu and need to recuperate? Cangcao wondered.
"Recuperate?"
Liu Ba looked disdainful and said, "Is he hindering the other million-strong army from going south?" ”
"Uh...... Don't get in the way! Cangcao said.
"So, after two years of tranquility, will the Ming army continue to be peaceful?"
Liu Ba was complacent on his face, and said: "Besides, will early planting make them starve to death?" ”
"Nope! Not to mention now, let's just say that when there were no sweet potatoes and other things before, even if it was planted ten days and a half months earlier, it would not have much impact, at least it was okay to eat enough. ”
Hey, Yizhou is so blessed, quack~
Cang Cao was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "Having said that, the harvest will still be reduced because of this, so the subordinates suggest that they still plant according to the season." However, if the general must insist, his subordinates will do the same. ”
"Then do it!" Liu Ba couldn't refuse.
Seeing this, Cang Cao could only respond: "Yes, general." ”
Cang Cao urged the people to cultivate according to the order, and sent orders from door to door, which stirred up the hearts of the people in the city. Immediately afterwards, Liu Ba sent sergeants, in a squad of five and a group of ten, to patrol back and forth along the street, and immediately suppressed all dissatisfaction.
Industrious people carry hoes and seeds and start plowing. The ridges, which had been abandoned for months, began to come to life, and there were busy figures everywhere.
Less than five days after planting, it rained a drizzle, and some lazy or those who wanted to delay the time had to happily speed up the ploughing.
Spring rain is as precious as oil, dare to wrap the world in green!
When the people were still ploughing the ground in the rain, a group of more than a dozen people rushed from the north.
"Newspaper~"
Liu Ba was listening to Cang Cao's report on the sowing of seeds in the mansion when the doorman suddenly broke in.
"General, something is wrong!"
"What's so alarming?" Liu Ba's face sank like water, and he asked the person who came.
"There is a small school outside the house that asks to see Jiameng, and it is in danger."
Liu Bahuo stood up.
"What?"
Cang Cao also exclaimed in surprise, and then stood up, looking at Liu Ba's eyes full of disbelief.
"Quick, go get him in."
Liu Ba said a word, and suddenly admonished: "Be careful of deception." ”
"Uh...... Yes, General. ”
After a while, the little school was brought in. Liu Ba noticed at a glance that Xiao Xiao had nothing else on his body except for the dust of the road, and immediately glanced at his subordinates to stop Xiao Xiao from approaching.
The colonel was stopped and puzzled: "Former general, this is?" ”
Liu Ba didn't answer, but asked, "Why did you come here?" ”
Xiao Xiao knew that his little trick was seen through, his knees weakened, he knelt on the ground, and said sadly: "Former general, the little one is also helpless, the Ming army suddenly appeared behind him, and he didn't have time to react, and the little one had no way to obey them." ”
"Huh? So you are now a member of the Ming Army? ”
Liu Ba's eyes were sharp, and he was so frightened that Xiaoxiao almost urinated out.
"Since you have taken refuge in the Ming army, you want to know who the leader of the army is, let's talk about it!"
"Uh...... The little one really doesn't know, I only know the surname Chu! ”
"Chu?"
"No, it's Chu!"
"Oh?" Liu Ba turned his head to look at Cang Cao and said, "Is there a general with this surname in the Ming army?" ”
"I don't know." Where did Cang Cao know this, and immediately shook his head.
Liu Ba didn't want to get an accurate answer from him, he groaned for a while, and said, "Why did this General Chu let you come?" ”
The little colonel cried: "General, the Ming army is vicious, he asked the little one to pretend that Jia Meng was short of food and grass, and asked the general to send troops to deliver food, and then raid Langzhong, just like they Jia Meng." ”
"Huh?"
Only then did Liu Ba realize the crux of the matter, and said abruptly: "You mean that the army appeared behind Jia Mengguan?" ”
The little colonel didn't know why he asked like this, he had obviously answered just now, but he still nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes!" Without warning, it suddenly appeared. ”
"Huh? What about General Munda? Liu Ba found out that something was wrong again and asked.
"General Meng went to Zitong."
"Go to Zitong? What are you going to do? ”
"It's not clear about this little one."
Liu Ba always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
After thinking for a while, Liu Ba suddenly looked straight and said, "Since you surrendered to the Ming army, I can only wronged you for a few days." ”
"General, the little one is just pretending, it's not real!" Xiao Xiao really urinated this time, and thought that Liu Ba was going to kill him.
Liu Ba showed disdain on his face and said: "Don't worry, it's just a few days of grievances, it's not your life, as long as it is confirmed that your words are true, then the general will ask Your Majesty to spare your enemies for not being able to do anything." ”
"Thank you, General, thank you, General!" The school was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was busy thanking him.
Liu Ba no longer paid attention to him, turned his head to his subordinates and said, "Take him to the barracks, but if there is anything wrong, kill him." ”
When he said this, he did not mean to shy away from it at all.
The little colonel breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed: "Don't worry, the former general, the little one must stay in the barracks with peace of mind, and he won't go anywhere, except eat, drink, and do nothing." ”
If you don't do it, you won't die! Ha ha!
Jia Meng.
"General, will he really do what the general tells him?"
"It's not up to him to decide whether he does it or not."
After Chu Yan finished speaking, he saw the soldiers who were in charge of managing carrier pigeons rushing over.
"General......
Chu Yan raised his hand to stop him, frowned at the visitor, and said, "But what's wrong?" ”
"Your Majesty's urgent order!"
Chu Yan immediately stood up and said respectfully, "What is Your Majesty's order?" ”
"The spring rain along the Baishui Pass did not stop, and the plan was blocked, and the attack was delayed."
"Uh...... This ......"
Chu Yan was dumbfounded, would it be too late to say these things now?
After a while, Chu Yan turned around and asked, "Has it rained recently?" ”
"It's raining?" The man replied blankly, "No! ”
"So......" Chu Yan also said dumbfoundedly, "are we resisting the decree?" ”
“……”
Plans and changes, there is a greater deviation!
Who's it?
Chengdu.
Zhuge Liang always felt uneasy and stable in his heart, and after thinking about it, he didn't know what was wrong. In a fit of restlessness, he took out Zhou Yi, who was his favorite in the past, from the study.
However, after watching it for a while, his heart still couldn't calm down, so Zhuge Liang had to put it down and come to the gossip array he was studying.
"What's the problem?"
The Bagua Array is something that Zhuge Liang researched according to Zhou Yi, combined with Sun Tzu, Wu Zi and other military books, but it has not yet been fully formed, and he has always felt that there is something wrong, but he can't say it. Only, is he talking about this question now?
"What's the problem?"
Zhuge Liang asked again, his eyes were still on the unfinished gossip array in front of him, but his mind was not here.
"What's the problem?"
As he spoke, Zhuge Liang took out the map of Jingyi Erzhou.
"Jia Meng, Zitong, Langzhong, and the Sword Pavilion have all been arranged, even if the Ming army kills, it is not so easy to win the dangerous passes. So...... What's the problem? ”
After watching for a long time, Zhuge Liang finally felt tired and was ready to rest. However, when he turned around to leave, he found something wrong with the map north of Yizhou.
"Here ......"
"Yin Ping?"
After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang shouted: "Come on!" ”
"Prime Minister!"
"Can Yinping lead to Hanzhong?"
"Well, Prime Minister, where does the little one know this."
"Do you know who knows?"
"Lord Zhizhong may know."
"Governance? Huang Quan? ”
"Yes."
"Go to him and say that he has something important to discuss with him."
"Now?" The guard looked out of the dark room in frustration.
Zhuge Liang also noticed that something was wrong, but still insisted: "Yes." ”
