Chapter 368: Kyushu Feast
"Hehehe......"
A low smile came,
Let Sima Fu, who was about to open his mouth to cover up a few words for Yan Xing,
Quickly shut his mouth.
I saw Liu Bei slowly stand up,
A few steps in front of Yan Xing,
grabbed Yan Xing's arm,
Yan Xing, who made his body tense, tremble,
At this moment, he is also extremely nervous,
He was also ready for Liu Bei to kill Rao,
But the imaginary crisis did not arise,
Yan Xing had to stand up,
Looking at Liu Bei,
But I only saw a warm smile on his face,
I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yan Ming's move is for my sake, I need the assistance of a talent like Yan Ming now, how can I blame you, look at me, yourself, do you deserve to be punished?"
Seeing Yan Xing subconsciously nodded
Liu Bei said with a very happy face:
"Well, since you yourself are punished, then you will be punished for drinking an extra jar in tonight's celebration feast, and if you miss a sip, the punishment will be doubled! Hahaha! ”
On the one hand, with severe penalties,
While patting Yan Xing's shoulder lightly,
Turned around and returned to his seat again,
Playing with an ebony paperweight with one hand,
Yan Xing was stunned when he heard this,
In his thoughts,
Even if Liu Bei didn't want to punish him,
A harsh reprimand is always unavoidable,
But I didn't expect it to be such a result.
The emergence of this situation,
Not only Yan Xing was stunned,
Even Sima Fu was surprised,
In an instant, Liu Bei's jealousy deepened.
Liu Bei ignored Liang Rao's thoughts,
Then he spoke:
"This trip to the Wa Kingdom has worked very well, and since Yan Ming and you all respect the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom so much, I think there must be something unique about it, and it is really a great joy to be able to let them form a spy force for me."
sighed,
Liu Bei continued:
"Alas, there is a cloud in the art of war: 'Soldiers and horses carry grain and grass before they move.' But than that grain and grass, what needs to be prepared earlier is the intelligence of both sides, and now I deeply feel how serious the consequences of not having intelligence are, you can realize this, and I am very relieved to think of a solution, sure enough, I Liu Bei did not see the wrong person at the beginning. Hahaha. ”
Yan Xing looked at Liu Bei seriously,
The other party's expression was very sincere,
I can't see half of the pretentiousness at all,
It was as if these words came from his own heart.
Seeing this scene,
If you are not half moved,
That's a complete blind talk.
Even Sima Fu, who was watching,
I have to secretly praise Liu Bei's clever method of winning people's hearts,
Such a thing was originally a subordinate trespassing,
He should be furious about the things that are held accountable,
Unexpectedly, under Liu Bei's words,
Not only did Yan Xing not be held responsible,
Instead, he uttered such words,
Even if the other party really has other ideas,
will also feel guilty after hearing this,
If the other person doesn't have those ideas,
will only feel like a soldier is a confidant who dies,
Such a wrist is really brilliant.
"Okay, Yanming, you've worked hard too, let's go down first. I still have some things to discuss with Shuda. ”
Hearing this, Yan Xing hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted,
Turning around and preparing to leave,
Before leaving, he gave Sima Fu a look very covertly.
Liu Bei still had a smile on his face,
To Sima Fu:
"Shuda, what do you think of Yan Xing?"
Sima Fu said with a look of embarrassment on his face:
"Lord, General Yan and I are old acquaintances, so if the lord asks like this, aren't you afraid that Shuda will cheat for personal gain?"
"Hahaha, good uncle, it seems that you also want to beg for wine!"
Sima Fu smiled silently.
"Cao Jun has already sent troops?"
After the laughter,
Liu Bei asked.
Nodding, Sima Fu said:
"Although the troops have not yet been dispatched, the news has been released that Xiahoudun will lead the army, and Cao Cao's eldest son and Cao De's eldest sons Cao Ang and Cao Anmin will jointly serve as the forward."
"Heh, Cao Cao is really revenge"
Liu Bei chuckled,
Then he asked:
"Do you know where Cao's army is going to attack?"
Sima Fu shook his head and said:
"There is no news about this, Cao Cao is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he will not expose the target in advance, but it should be Peng Cheng. Now Tao Qian is also sending troops to Pengcheng, presumably within ten days, the two sides will start a fierce battle. ”
The smile on the corner of Liu Bei's mouth was rich,
"That's very good. Where are Zhang Min and the 200 cavalry now? ”
Sima Fu didn't speak,
The right hand made an oblique cut with the palm downward.
Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction,
"This one hundred and eighty truckloads of goods are enough for our brothers to change into a lot of new equipment."
Sima Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this,
Everyone knows that Cao Song went to Yanzhou this time,
and with him two hundred carts of goods,
However, Liu Bei deliberately pointed out that only one hundred and eighty cars were seized.
The meaning of that is obvious,
The remaining twenty carts of goods and goods Sima Fu can safely collect Zheng
Sima Fu didn't have words,
He bowed with his hands in his fists,
The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled,
It's all in plain sight
Liu Bei rubbed his cheeks,
Opening:
"I think there will be news coming to Tao Qian in the next two days. Looks like we're going to have to wait a while? ”
"The lord is wise."
Sima Fu also had a smug smile on his face,
Cao's army attacked Xuzhou,
Although Xuzhou will definitely not be able to stop Cao Jun's overall situation,
But there will not be a one-sided situation in a short period of time.
Therefore, in the early stages of the war,
Since there was no time to strike,
Tao Qian would not easily ask Liu Bei for help.
Liu Bei defected to Xuzhou,
What is the true intention,
Tao Qian is not a fool,
Naturally, I can guess how many points,
Therefore, although Liu Bei and others were accepted out of helplessness,
But there is still a bit of vigilance in my heart.
Liu Bei leaned back easily,
Let out a long breath,
Comfortable Authenticity:
"Finally, I can see some hope."
Sima Fu is also extremely relaxed,
Now this period of time is relatively smooth.
Liu Bei's heart moved,
Leaning forward again,
He asked:
"Shuda, if you Cao Cao moves like this, will the other princes sit idly by?"
Sima Fu's complexion remained unchanged,
Slowly shook his head,
With a look of wisdom beads in his hand, he said:
"Now the forces of all parties are in a delicate balance, although Yuan Shao and Lu Bu have just experienced the war, but neither side has been injured, at this moment Cao Cao's army can be said to be a move to the whole body."
After a pause, Sima Fu stood up and walked to Liu Bei's desk,
dipped my finger in the tea,
A sketch of the Central Plains topographic map was sketched with a few strokes.
First of all, point to the southern part of the Central Plains:
"Among them, the first to react should be Runan Yuanshu."
"Yuan Shu?"
Liu Bei looked at Sima Fu suspiciously,
Puzzled, he asked:
"Now that Cao Cao has issued a document to crusade against Yuan Shu, who usurped the emperor, although the army has not really been dispatched, but all parties have their own reactions, Yuan Shu is now too busy to take care of himself, isn't it still the initiative to attack?"
Sima Fu smiled confidently and said:
"No, no, no. Lord, you think too simply, Runan is the foundation of the Yuan family, and it has been operating in the cluster for nearly a hundred years, how huge its power is, although Yuan Shu arrogantly claimed the emperor, but he has to admit that this person has such confidence. Now Runan claims to have 500,000 soldiers, although this is too exaggerated, but the number of 300,000 is always boring. What's more, the Yuan family is full of peach and plum, and there are countless ministers and generals who defected to Yuan Shu. His current true strength is probably much more than Lu Bu's, and it is still increasing at an extremely fast rate. Although it is now under the Han family, the court has been weak for a long time, and there are some people who take risks. ”
Liu Bei lowered his head and was silent.
After a pause, Sima Fu continued to explain:
This is the prerequisite for Yuan Shuhui's action, and secondly, it is the motive, Cao Cao is now holding the princes hostage in the name of righteousness. If Yuan Shu wants to be justified, he must completely pull the Han family off the horse, so that he can really make the seat under his ass stable. Although Cao Cao's strength has increased a lot now, but Xuzhou is also a rich place after all, and Tao Qian was young, but he was born in the military, after his people entered Xuzhou, although he paid attention to cultural governance, but he never gave up his armament, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xuzhou is much more stable than other states and counties, which is Tao Gongzu's ability. Even if the Xuzhou army will fall into disadvantage against Cao Jun, it will inevitably make Cao Cao uncomfortable. At such an opportunity for two-headed battles, even though Yuan Shu is blind, there are many discerning people under his command, and he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity. The prerequisites and motives were sufficient, and it was only a matter of timing for Yuan Shu to attack Yanzhou in the north. ”
Liu Bei suddenly realized,
dot fraction,
Stretch out your finger and point to the position of Zero Runan,
Suddenly, he asked again:
"Then as soon as Yuan Shu moves, will Liu Biao not be able to make a move?"
Sima Fu looked contemptuously at the location of Jingzhou on the crude map on the table,
Laughed coldly:
"Cut, the dog guarding the household only hopes that the war will not spread to his own one-third of an acre, can see Yuan Shu sent troops to the Northern Expedition to Yanzhou, he is at most at home to wave the flag and shout, and Jingzhou lost two generals in a row, no, it should be three to be exact, Huang Zu, Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, these are all characters in Jingzhou who can be called pillars, now one is dead, one defected and one is missing, Liu Biao is too busy to take care of himself, how can he send troops to intervene. Yangzhou Liu Yan was eaten by Sun Jian of Wu County, and he also hoped that someone could go to the rescue, and Liu Yan and his son in Yizhou had already become a country of their own, and they would not fall into this troubled water. The so-called Emperor Uncle Alliance is actually a joke. ”
As soon as the words came out,
Sima Fu's face suddenly changed,
Hurriedly apologized:
"Lord, Shuda lost his words."
Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand,
signaled not to blame Sima Fu for the crime of slipping the tongue,
Now Liu Bei claims to be the emperor's uncle today,
And let this guy really get from Emperor Han Xian,
deceived an edict,
Sima Fu made fun of Liu Biao and the other Rao Huang Uncle Alliance,
Isn't it that he brought this lord of his own into it?
Liu Bei's brows furrowed tightly,
"If Yuan Shu is really willing to send troops north to Yanzhou, then Cao Cao will definitely not start a war on two fronts, and the biggest possibility will be to return to Yanzhou again after occupying some territory, then the crisis in Xuzhou will be solved, and our previous plan will not be in vain?"
Sima Fu smiled and said:
"The lord is very worried. However, we can talk to ...... beforehand."
The words are not finished,
But he stretched out his finger and lightly touched the position of Runan.
Liu Bei looked up at Sima Fu,
The frowning brow slowly relaxed,
But the mouth is so difficult to say:
"Huh? How is this to be? After all, I am a member of the Han family, and I am determined to help the Han Dynasty, how can I conspire with the puppet emperor, this move is inappropriate, if I knew it, I would definitely not agree. ”
Sima Fu showed a smile with a deep meaning,
Since you wouldn't agree if you knew,
Then I won't let you know.
Sima Fu looked at the sketch again,
But the fingers are lightly zeroed on the northwest and due north sides,
And then he said:
"However, that Yuan Shu is arrogant, and some things cannot be speculated on by common sense, but his dispatch of troops is a sure thing. As soon as he moves, Lu Fengxian, who has always regarded himself as the minister of the revival of the humerus of the Han family, will definitely send troops, and now this son occupies Hongnong and Hedong counties, and Lu Bu has always been friendly with Cao Cao, seeing Yuan Shu taking advantage of the situation to attack Yanzhou, Lu Fengxian will not sit idly by. It will definitely send troops from Hangu Pass, whether it is to support Cao Cao in the east or to go south to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, although Yuan Shu may not be afraid of this fang, but there will be many more variables. ”
Liu Bei rubbed his cheek and asked:
"What about Yuan Shao in Hebei?"
"Yuan Shao is also a great variable, the relationship between Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao Sanrao is now messy if it can't be cleaned up, but Yuan Shao definitely doesn't want Cao Cao to be able to capture Xuzhou smoothly, because the timing is right, he will definitely come in and get involved."
Liu Bei touched his nose,
Lost in thought,
Eyes glued to the water stains that were about to dry on the table,
Whispered:
"It's really a matter of moving the whole body, in this way, wouldn't it be easy for the entire Central Plains to fall into the Zheng of the melee?"
Sima Fu propped his hands on the desk,
looked directly at Liu Bei and said:
"It's not easy, but it's bound to get into a scuffle. Moreover, not only was this melee provoked by our army, but the lord should also bravely plunge into this turbulent Zheng."
Liu Bei raised his head suddenly,
looked at Sima Fu,
Immediately understood the deep meaning of his words,
His eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face again:
"Win in the chaos?"
Sima Fu nodded,
"The imperial court has lost its deer, and the lower group of heroes can get it one after another, how can the lord be absent from this feast as a royal clansman."
Liu Bei raised his eyebrows,
Looking down at the scribbled figure on the table again,
At the moment, the water stains are constantly drying up,
The graphics become more sloppy,
I can barely see what it is,
Liu Bei stretched out his only remaining hand,
With a sudden wave, he immediately wiped off all the remaining water stains,
I can't see anything clearly,
The eyes burst into dazzling light,
The smile at the corner of his mouth spreads,
Proud:
"Hahaha, okay, let me Liu Xuande go to this feast!"
