Chapter 444: Liu Bei enters the river
"Uncle Huang..." Zhang Songshi was unwilling.
"If Liu Jiyu has a place for me, my Liu Bei will be full of liver and brains, and I will not give up, my Jingzhou army can be sent by him to resist Zhang Lu!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei brushed his sleeves and left.
Zhang Song was stunned, hurriedly ran over, knelt in front of Liu Bei, and sobbed: "Uncle Huang, please don't shirk anymore." If you refuse, the people of Shu will not agree, and the people of the Han Dynasty will not agree. ”
"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Han family is like the day when the west sinks, the breath is dying, the princes of the Liu family have been swallowed up one after another, and now only Xichuan is still surnamed Liu, but the sergeants of Shu all understand that this Liu Yizhou is afraid that it will not last long. If the imperial uncle does not take it, within two years, Yizhou will also be changed hands. At that time, what Uncle Huang said about getting rid of thieves and rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, where to start? Aren't they empty words? ”
"Uncle Huang, for the sake of the prosperity of the Han family, I, Zhang Song, am willing to bear the name of the Lord and welcome Uncle Huang into Sichuan..."
Before Zhang Song finished speaking, Liu Bei shook off Zhang Song very angrily and said angrily: "Yongnian Xiu wants to say it again, I, Liu Bei, will never do such an unkind and unrighteous thing." ”
"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang..."
Seeing Liu Bei walking farther and farther, Zhang Song turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang and said, "Why didn't Kong Ming persuade him?" ”
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Yongnian, you don't know my father-in-law, he would rather die than do anything treacherous!" Not to mention Xichuan, even if it is the whole world, he will not be moved. ”
"Oh my God... Could it be that Yizhou is going to fall into the hands of traitors again? I'm Yizhou, why can't I get a virtuous monarch. Zhang Song was discouraged and collapsed to the ground.
He went to Xuchang this time on the order of Liu Zhang, called tribute, and asked Cao Cao to attack Zhang Lu, but in fact, he had already colluded with the civil and military forces of Yizhou and surrendered Yizhou to Cao Cao. But he didn't expect that he was beaten out of Xuchang City. Now I have been talking with Liu Bei for a few days, and I feel that Liu Bei is a virtuous monarch and a wise lord, and I want to dedicate Yizhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei will not take it, so what can I do?
Zhuge Liang helped Zhang Song up, glanced at the direction in which Liu Bei left, and said in a low voice: "If you want to take Xichuan, you don't necessarily have to agree to it." ”
"Why?"
"Because the general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it!"
Zhang Song seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said happily: "Yes, Kong Ming, you have the power of the army, but you can give the order on behalf of the emperor's uncle and seize Xichuan." Then hand over Xichuan to the imperial uncle, and by then the wood has been completed, how can the imperial uncle not want it? ”
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Okay, when we go to Yizhou, no matter whether the lord agrees or not, let's take it first!" ”
Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others all nodded one after another.
..............
A few days later. In the name of helping Liu Zhang, Liu Bei led an army of 30,000 people to go straight up the Fushui River and enter Yizhou. It is called to rescue Liu Zhang and resist Zhang Lu. In fact, the generals under Liu Bei have already received orders from Zhuge Liang to eliminate Liu Zhang and occupy Yizhou after repelling Zhang Lu.
The only generals accompanying him were Wei Yan and Huang Zhong.
Zhuge Liang didn't follow.
After all, Jingnan still needs people to guard it.
At this time, Liu Zhang was in a state of being attacked from two sides, one was Zhang Lu in the west, and the other was Liu Bei in the east. Of course, he didn't know that Liu Bei was going to seize Yizhou, and thought that Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous to help him defend against Zhang Lu.
This matter soon spread to Xuchang.
Cao Cao immediately decided: "Liu Bei went to Yizhou, it must be to eliminate Liu Zhang and seize Yizhou." Unless he is a fool, he will help Liu Zhang defend against Zhang Lu. ”
Cheng Yu said: "If Liu Bei is allowed to get both the four counties of Jingnan and the twelve counties of Yizhou, we will be threatened in the south." In the past, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, etc., never dared to offend me, and everyone was safe. But Liu Bei's hatred with us is as deep as the sea, once his strength skyrockets, I am afraid that he will be even more crazy than Yuan Xi, and he will continue to fight in Sichuan. ”
"yes... What should I do? Cao Cao had a headache when he thought that after Liu Bei gained Yizhou, he would fight with Yuan Xi in the north and south.
He really regretted it.
Zhang Song should have been left behind, even if it was perfunctory.
Now that he has gone to Liu Bei, he has colluded with Liu Bei to seek Yizhou, and he has no way at all.
"Write a letter to Liu Zhang and ask him to be careful of Liu Bei."
"Prime Minister, do you think Liu Zhang will believe it?" Xun Yu asked.
Cao Cao said: "Why doesn't he believe it? Liu Bei entered Sichuan, called Xiangzhu, in fact, it was to seize Xichuan, this is an obvious thing, even if Liu Zhang is mediocre, he should be able to see it, is Liu Bei allowed to enter Sichuan? ”
Xun Yu said: "It is precisely because everyone understands that Li Yan, Huang Quan, Fa Zheng, etc., under Liu Zhang's command, will they not know?" Will they not advise Liu Zhang? The minister dared to bet that at this moment, the officials in Yizhou were all dissuading Liu Zhang. However, Liu Zhang felt that he and Liu Bei were both royal relatives, and when he heard that Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous, he unswervingly asked Liu Bei to lead the army into Sichuan. No matter how persuasive the officials in Shuzhong are, they can't stop Liu Zhang, let alone what use can we write a letter to Liu Zhang? ”
"Ugh...."
Cao Cao sighed: "Do I want to watch Liu Bei capture Xichuan?" It is known as the country of abundance, there are twelve large counties, although it is remote, but it is dangerous, once he gets Xichuan, we... ”
At this time, Cao Cao remembered Jia Xu again: "What about Wenhe? Where did Wenhe go? ”
Xun Yu said: "Prime Minister, have you forgotten? Today is the day General Cao Ren returns to the city, and Wen He went outside the city to greet him. I'm sure I'll be back soon. ”
"I'm too busy..."
Cao Cao sat down with his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.
It didn't take long.
Jia Xu led a group of people into the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister..."
The crowd saluted.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Get up." Wenhe, who are these generals? Except for Cao Ren, he looked very strange.
Jia Xu hadn't spoken yet.
Cao Ren stepped forward and introduced: "Prime Minister, this is Sima Yi, the word Zhongda, he is a member of the Hongnong Sima family, and the Prime Minister should have heard of it." This time, the plan to retreat to Wancheng and hit Xiliang Ma Chao hard was from him. There are also Jiang Wei and Hao Zhao, don't look at their young age, but their combat skills are no worse than anyone else. Thanks to them, our army was able to hold out in Chang'an for several months. ”
Cao Cao has always attached great importance to talents, especially at this time, he needs more help.
Sima Yi can severely damage tens of thousands of horses.
Jiang Wei and Hao Zhao held on to Chang'an for several months.
This kind of feats are by no means something that ordinary people can do.
Although Cao Cao had not seen them defend the city with his own eyes, nor had he seen Sima Yi arrange his troops, according to their achievements, it could be concluded that Sima Yi, Hao Zhao, and Jiang Wei were all talents.
He greeted him with a smile: "Zhong Da, Jiang Wei, Hao Zhao, with your help, great things can be done." I will report to the Son of Heaven and give you an official position. ”
"Prime Minister Xie..."
The three of them saluted respectfully.
This is a big deviation from the historical situation.
Jiang Wei and Hao Zhao became famous after Cao Cao's death, and as soon as Sima Yi came out, he was suspected and excluded by Cao Cao, and it was difficult to display his strengths. Sima Yi spent his whole life in hiding and clumsy, and it was not until after the third generation of Wei that he began to lead the army. And now the three talents suddenly all worked for Cao Cao, and they were recommended by Cao Ren and reused by Cao Cao.
