Chapter 214: Target Fan Cheng
"Oh!"
Seeing this, Liu Bei was suspicious, "What does the military advisor mean by pointing at Xinye?" Could it be that Cao Cao's army will attack from Xinye? That's impossible! No way! Xinye is prepared, how can he be allowed to do it? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled, "Lord, how can you defend the land of Xinye Projectile?" Besides, how many people do we have? If Cao Cao's army really presses him, how do you resist it? The second general and the third general are the ministers of the bear and tiger, and Zilong is indeed a powerful general who is not suitable for ten thousand people, but how can the war be reversed by the strength of a few people? ”
Zhuge Liang said, shaking his head again and again, "According to the announcement of the imperial court, this time to conquer Guishan, a total of 200,000 troops were dispatched, but Liang thought that it was just an imaginary number, and the actual personnel should be about 100,000, the reason why there were only such a few soldiers and horses was because most of Cao Cao's forces were used to monitor the south, as well as the Xiongnu who could sneak attack at any time, so he would only send 100,000 troops, but now the situation is different, he wants to fight in the south, then all the troops monitoring the south can be mobilized, and even after having the Dayue clan, Some soldiers and horses in the north can also be thrown into the war, and they may really have to face 200,000 troops at that time! ”
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, he knew that Zhuge Liang was by no means alarmist!
"Strategist. According to what you mean, I have to go to Jingzhou? He was still so embarrassed, but Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a flash of inspiration at the moment, "Actually, the lord, you don't want Jingzhou, Liang is understandable, after all, Jingzhou is a place with too much internal strength, if Liu Biao dies, Cai and Zhang will definitely fight, they are local forces that are not good for you, so Liang thinks that Jingzhou will not take it!" ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly brightened, and he stared at Zhuge Liang very expectantly, "What other ways does the military advisor have?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Zhuge Liang said, and pointed out another place on the map, "If you can, Liang hopes that the lord will take advantage of the fact that Jingsheng is still alive and ask him for Fancheng!" ”
On the other hand, not only did Liu Bei know the news of the victory of the Son of Heaven, but the Dongwu Water Town also set off a frenzy because of this incident!
Sun Quan, as the ruler of Eastern Wu, is in the Great Power Temple at the moment, talking with Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao, after all, not everything is suitable for saying at home.
The Great Power Temple is not only quiet, but also less noticeable, this time Sun Quan's reason for coming here is to worship the gods and Buddhas instead of Wu Guotai.
Cheng Pu is a military general, so no matter where he goes, he must wear armor on his wrists, and he is dressed in a semi-military uniform, but Zhang Zhao has white hair and white beard, and he looks peaceful and charitable.
"Two Aiqing."
Sun Quan bowed to Buddha Guo, greeted the two of them, and strode over.
Sun Quan's nickname is "Bi Yan'er", not that he has foreign blood, but that his eyes are shining, and he looks like a shadow of light under the night.
"I've seen the lord!"
Sun Quan smiled and led them to the pavilion, where someone had already prepared fragrant tea and fruit snacks, and the three of them sat opposite each other.
"The two Qing family, I called you over today. In fact, you all know that long live the Son of Heaven and return triumphantly from conquering foreign countries, should I dedicate my heart to the courtiers? Sun Quan's words were meaningful.
Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao glanced at each other and hesitated for a moment before Cheng Pu spoke, "Lord, what do you want to offer to the imperial court?" ”
Sun Quan thought about it and shook his head unconsciously, "I don't have any ideas yet." Didn't I invite you two here? ”
"If you want me to see it, you don't have to say anything to send it!"
Cheng Pu's eyes widened, and there was a bit of anger between his words, "This is not the divine power of the Son of Heaven at all, who doesn't know that this is Cao Cao's victory, don't send it!" If I don't give anything! ”
"Alas, Demou must not speak like that!"
Cheng Pu, the word Demou.
Zhang Zhao hurriedly stopped him on the side, "It doesn't matter whose victory it is." This battle was a victory for the imperial court. As a courtier of the Great Han. I think it's reasonable to show a heart to the court, not to mention, the princes of the world don't know how many people have the same mind as you, so the lord's gift will be more valued by the court! ”
"Brother Zibu!"
Cheng Pu glanced at him, looking very helpless, "Everyone doesn't send it." If you come to send it, isn't that against everyone? Besides, isn't the reason why the imperial court wants to announce the results to the world this time is to deter the ministers? If the lord offered a gift to the court, wouldn't it be tantamount to being frightened by them? This is a no-no! ”
"You!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Sun Quan sighed in his heart, but he smiled and became a peacemaker, "Forget it, I know, both of you are loyal, let me think about this matter again." ”
"Lord, don't think about it!"
The two are almost in unison, but the meaning they want to express is completely different.
Looking at the two of them, Sun Quan really had no choice but to interrupt today's conversation, "Forget it, let's talk about this matter, let's talk about it!" Come on, it's hard to come out, you accompany me for a good walk, otherwise after the season, I want to see this scene, and it will be next year. ”
"Yes."
Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao reluctantly followed him on a tour, but at this time, a sergeant suddenly ran in.
"Lord Qiqi, Lord Lu Su has arrived!"
"Lu Su?"
Sun Quan frowned, "Shouldn't he be working in Zhou Yu's place now, why did he come back suddenly?" With doubts, he still asked someone to invite Lu Su in.
Under the world, the wind is surging, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are in action, and Ma Teng and Han Sui, who have the northwest, will not stop, the Son of Heaven conquers Guishuang, for the two of them, it is simply a bolt from the blue! Because in this case, perhaps Cao Cao would have a reason to ask them to disarm.
You must not watch that kind of thing happen, so in order to avoid the arrival of that day, Ma Teng and Han Sui are also actively preparing, of course, they dare not start a war with Cao Cao, they can only formulate some strategies, so that the imperial court will lose the reason for disarmament!
Undercurrents are surging!
In contrast, of course, Xuchang, as the capital, is much more peaceful, and Liu Xie took out the money to reward the generals, and it really became a beautiful talk, regardless of whether those generals were sincere or not, but at least he said good things about him, which was enough.
And Liu Xie was not idle, and after the big event was done, he only took out one day to spend time with his wife, and then he didn't know how, so he squatted in the imperial dining room every day and began to have trouble with mustard greens!
After a few days of hard work, he pickled at least 500 catties of mustard greens, and he had to make each jar himself, and after making sure that there was no problem in any link, he buried the pickles deep in the ground while watching the people.
At the same time, Liu Xie also ordered the government and the opposition to send them to the government if they had the best aged mustard stew, and the government would pay for it at the price of meat.
And it is required that those mustard greens are marinated, and the more green mildew, the higher the value.
No one knew what he was tossing about, but Cao Cao and Guo Jia knew in their hearts that the emperor was trying to find a way to seek medicine for Guo Jia.
In such a situation, Guo Jia and Cao Cao couldn't help but be grateful.
For the two of them, the emperor is saving his life, and the other is that he is saving his arms for Cao Cao!
