Chapter 435: Thousands of Miles

Sisters Qiao Fang and Qiao Wei talked in the cabin for another night. The content is basically about Liu Cong. Qiao Wei's mind is more active, she knows that this world is the world of the strong after all, it is the world of men, and Liu Cong is undoubtedly the most powerful man in the world, there is no one!

If Qiao Wei was alone, she would quickly accept Liu Cong's kindness. But because her sister was here, and her sister's situation was more difficult than herself, Qiao Wei temporarily suppressed the feelings in her heart and tried to match her sister and Liu Cong.

Liu Cong's intentions, his sister Qiao Wei's intentions, Qiao Fang didn't know. She didn't want to go back to the moment when she was called Liu Cong's brother, she remembered that the little general named Liao Hua wanted to follow her, and Liu Cong's strong desire to protect was enough to melt every woman's heart! It's just that her husband is in Jiangdong and her son is in Jiangdong, and Liu Cong's army is still encircling and suppressing her own animal-like little brother-in-law, and now she wants her to kneel down, she doesn't seem to be able to do it.

Fortunately, Liu Cong is only affectionate and polite. But my sister is getting tighter and tighter day by day. In fact, in addition to Qiao Wei feeling that her sister should be in front of her, another piece of news made her finally make up her mind, no matter what, she had to make a decision before arriving in Xiangyang.

Qiao Wei actually learned some information about the Jingzhou Prime Minister's Mansion from Liao Hua through various methods, especially about the female dependents. Today's Liu Cong's wife Cai Lin naturally doesn't need to say that the Xiangyang clan is the daughter of Cai Mao. And the two concubines also made Qiao Wei feel pressure, one of these two people is the sister of Wen Ping, and the other is the daughter of Han Xuan, the former Changsha Taishou.

Qiao Wei is even more curious about Liu Cong, what kind of man is this? When he was not fully in charge of Jingzhou, a general with a higher rank than him and a Taishou at the same level as him actually married his relatives to him as a concubine? And from Liao Hua's tone, it seems that the second daughter is still crying and shouting to marry Liu Cong!

And before that, Liu Cong actually snubbed Cai Lin for a year! Of course, it wasn't these things that made Qiao Wei nervous. But now Liu Cong and his concubine A-Ying have a total of four official women, but only Cai Lin has given birth to three children in a row, and the other three women have no movement!

is also a woman, of course Qiao Wei knows that once it can be seen that Cai Lin, who is the housemother, is definitely a powerful character, if she and her sister did not have anything to do with this most powerful man before arriving in Xiangyang, I am afraid it will not have anything to do with it in the future!

When he arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Cong must be very busy with government affairs. The most important thing is that Cai Lin is in charge of housework. Cai Lin may arrange a lot of young and beautiful women for Liu Cong, but it is unlikely that Ming Media is marrying. And it is even more difficult to give birth to an heir for Liu Cong.

Qiao Wei herself doesn't care, but her sister Qiao Fang is different, she is alone now! So after hearing the exact news, Qiao Wei went to find her sister again.

"You girl, is it possible that my sister can't live without a man?" Qiao Fang has Liu Cong in her heart, but she can't stand her sister's persuasion all day long.

"Sister, the prime minister is right, women are passive and weak after all. If you don't strive for your happiness, I'm afraid that if you miss it, it will really be a lifetime! ”

"I think you're being dazzled by his rhetoric. He now has a wife and two concubines, and when he returns to Xiangyang, there is still a place for our sisters. Rather than be abandoned in the future, it is better to keep your distance now......"

"I heard Liao Hua say that the prime minister is a person who loves love...... Qiao Wei told her sister about Cao Na and Feng's again, of course, what made Qiao make up her mind in the end was all kinds of speculations about the housewife Cai Lin and Liu Cong's future status! The two sisters are not fools, the current Han world has been divided into two, although Liu Cong is only the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, he is actually the controller of the entire Southern Dynasty.

Now with Liu Cong, he may not even have the status of a concubine, but once Liu Cong ascends to the throne and becomes the Ninth Five-Year Honor, then women are indispensable in the harem, and the two sisters will definitely be able to occupy a place with their own appearance and talent.

Of course, the two sisters' determination is only an internal factor, and Liu Cong's relentless pursuit is the biggest external factor that really moved the two sisters and finally captured their hearts. In the final analysis, Liu Cong is the victor, and the two sisters are just trophies, if Liu Cong forcibly occupies the two like other womanizers, they are afraid that they will have no power to resist.

Now Liu Cong is playing romance, and the two sisters also know that raising their worth can only be done in moderation! Therefore, on the night of two consecutive months, Liu Cong, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, was busy under the bed, working hard......

Being able to hug the two beauties, Liu Cong is naturally in a good mood! For Qiao Wei's coquettishness, Qiao Fang's reserved Liu Cong is unwanted! Of course, it's almost Xiangyang, and how to explain it to Cai Lin is indeed a problem. Of course, Liu Cong is not worried that Cai Lin will object, even if this matter comes to Cai Mao, Cai Mao will support him.

A dignified prime minister, what are three wives and four concubines? Of course, Liu Cong will not have a fight with Cai Lin, Qiao Wei's words reminded him that after so many years, he is strong, but Wen Rui and Han Yi have not moved at all, and Cai Lin must have done something in this. Cai Lin is a smart woman, and it is understandable that she is afraid that others will steal her son's position as the son.

But now that Liu Ji has gradually grown up and his position is stable, it is time for other women to spread the branches for the old Liu family! The power of the family in this era is very strong and very important, if one day Liu Cong will reign in the world, but there is only one son, I am afraid that the government will be unstable! Cai Lin is not an unreasonable woman, since her husband Liu Cong pointed out the cattiness, she is not good at insisting, and her goal has basically been achieved over the years. In the future, Liu Cong may have more women, she can't suppress them all, what if one day they collectively rise up against themselves?

After returning to Xiangyang, Liu Cong immediately adjusted the personnel deployment of the imperial court, and Zhang Zhao's two sons, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xiu, entered Jingzhou as officials, of which Zhang Cheng replaced Liu Shang as the Wuchang Order, while Zhang Xiu stayed in Xiangyang. Zhou Yu's three children were sent to Jianye, where Zhang Zhao was responsible for teaching.

Xu Jing and others persuaded Liu Cong to enter the throne of Chu The king was politely rejected by Liu Cong, now is the moment to confront Cao Cao, only if the top and bottom are united, the same hatred of the enemy, Cao Cao will give in, if he is the king at this time, it is undoubtedly an excuse for Cao Cao!

The garrisons of Chaisang and Nanchang were further reduced, and the remaining troops were led by Zhang Jaw to Jiangling to stand by! The other counties of Jingnan, except for Guiyang, which is close to Jiaozhou, have successively sent troops to report to Jiangling. Half a month later, Liu Cong set off again, this time he, Zhang Jaw, Zhao Yun and others led 15,000 infantry to support Baishui Pass!

Liu Cong's idea was that since Cao Cao refused to withdraw his troops, he simply went in person, and when he appeared on the wall of Baishui Pass, not only would the morale of the defenders rise greatly, but Cao Cao was afraid that he would have to weigh it again. Liu Cong knew that he couldn't swallow Cao Cao in one bite with his own strength now, but it was not so easy for Cao Cao to bully himself.

At most, in another month or two, Gan Ning and others will definitely take Shaoxing, and at that time, it will really be two tigers standing side by side, if Cao Cao insists on attacking Baishui Pass, then Gan Ning and Liu Pan can wave their troops north to attack Zhang Liao after a short rest in Jianye! Yuzhou and Xuzhou are not as good as Liangzhou, especially Xuzhou and Yangzhou are across the water, and Jingzhou Navy still has certain advantages!

And once Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Baishui Pass, it was tantamount to admitting the ambition of the ambition. The north belongs to him, and the south is surnamed Liu. In the future, there will be a confrontation between the two sides, and then the competition will be internal affairs, the total population, and the total economic output...... In these aspects, Liu Cong may not be as good as Cao Cao, but his subordinates will not lose to Cao Cao's group at all, especially Liu Cong has an absolute advantage as a traverser.

In the next few years, Cao Cao Group will definitely face the inheritance problem of its heirs in ten years at most! So as time goes by, it becomes more and more beneficial to Liu Cong! Now what Liu Cong has to do is to resist the whole line! Withstand Cao Cao's attacks from all directions!

The battle of Baishui Pass has entered a white heat, although Wei Yan and Zhang Ren are also both civil and military, plus the strong support of Dong Yun of Liangzhou, Jiang Wan of Yizhou and others, but they can only barely cope with it, after all, Cao Cao has more than 100,000 troops attacking the key points, and there are only 40,000 people guarding the pass!

Among these 40,000 people, there were still 5,000 cavalry, and if the enemy had not made a detour to other places, Huang Zhong's 5,000 cavalry reinforced from Shangyong could only be regarded as a consolation. Of course, there were far more than 40,000 people stationed at Baishui Pass, in addition to the army, there were also nearly 30,000 people recruited by Dong Yun, who lived in the periphery of the barracks for a long time, responsible for carrying sand and soil, repairing the city walls, and making various defensive equipment.

After months of fighting, the outside of Baishui Pass was in shambles, and the walls were littered with stones, sasswood, and all kinds of burning materials. Although the generals are brave and unusual, especially the newly surrendered Pound, standing on the city wall, he is a man, and no one else comes. Attacks out of the city are always one against ten.

But after all, there is a huge disparity in numbers, and the defenders of Baishui Pass are exhausted! Although there is a possibility of a complete collapse. Pang Tong reminded the main general Wei Yan more than once that he should ask Jingzhou for help in time.

Wei Yan also knew his own situation, if Liu Cong did not insist on the eastward crusade, Wei Yan was afraid that he might ask for help at the beginning of Cao Cao's siege, after all, once the Baishui Pass was broken, it would be like putting a flood beast into the river! But Wei Yan knew that the lord wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's western expedition and catch Sun Quan off guard, and if he held on to the western front for one more day, the effect of the eastern expedition would be greater.

No one wants to give up halfway, Wei Yan is like this, Wei Yan knows that his lord will definitely not give up the great opportunity to annex Jiangdong, and sending Huang Zhong here is to prepare for the loss of Baishui Pass, once Baishui Pass is lost, the army will withdraw into Zitong. And Huang Zhong will cruise outside the city like during the Battle of Fancheng to contain Cao Cao's main force.

But fortunately, that scene did not appear, Wei Yan had already received a letter from Xiangyang last night, and the queen set off! This is definitely encouraging news! Therefore, Wei Yan wants to tell the whole army as soon as possible today!

At dawn and before the enemy could attack, Wei Yan and all the garrison generals came to the wall of Baishui Pass. Some of the old soldiers thought that something big had happened, and they immediately became alert, and all the soldiers in the pass were assembled.

"Warriors! The lord has returned to Jingzhou, and in three days, the lord and his own army are about to set off with reinforcements! After Wei Yan finished speaking, he threw the letter down the city wall, and some of the people under the city wall immediately stepped forward to continue.

Oh, oh, oh!! The gate and the city wall suddenly boiled! What the general said is true, the lord has reinforced Baishuiguan! And it's a pro-enlistment! This is undoubtedly a boost for those exhausted defenders! Everybody knows what it means to be a princess!

Even if Liu Cong came alone, Wei Yan knew that all the soldiers knew that they would not lose this battle! The lord never fights uncertain battles! It seems that this tradition is as good as ever! The Lord's Father-in-law Campaign means a lot of things!

First of all, it shows that the war on the Eastern Front has basically calmed down, and there is no longer anything worth worrying about. Jiangdong is pacified, then your own strength will naturally increase greatly! Cao Cao is afraid that he will also have a headache. The arrival of the lord means that the combat center of the entire group is transferred there.

Back then, Cao Cao's 800,000 army couldn't help Fancheng, not to mention that now there are only 100,000? The arrival of the lord Liu Cong will bring the most elite escort battalion, already many generals, and of course, the absolute priority of logistics guarantees!
