Zhou Yu ate a bowl of porridge, feeling that his body was gradually strengthening, Liu Ze delayed for three days, and saw that Zhou Yu was in good health, so he drove back to Luoyang. Zhou Yu came to the courtyard for a walk, accompanied by Lu Su, Zhou Yu asked: "Zijing, I don't know how Wu Hou is?" ”

"Wu Hou lives in a stable fiefdom, and the family is happy."

"Lack of progress, more than enough. Bo Fu really has the wisdom to know people. Wu Hou suffered such a setback, he must have no heart to make a comeback, and the family is safe and happy, which is also a good ending. ”

"When the old Jiangdong Department heard that Wu Hou had arrived in the fiefdom, he had no heart to resist, and he had already submitted to the table. Su Bucai was appointed by the emperor as the assassin of Yangzhou. Before my emperor left, he told me that if Gong Jin is willing to contribute to the country, he will definitely pay a heavy responsibility, I don't know what Gong Jin thinks? ”

"The general of the defeated army, what face does he have to stand in front of the world?"

Gong Jin laughed. What kind of character is Meng De, isn't he willing to drive for my emperor? In the country, only Yizhou and Jiaozhou are not peaceful, and reunification is imminent. The territory of the Han Dynasty is unimaginably large, the emperor is still ambitious, the island is now in the palm of his hand, Yizhou and Zhuyazhou have not yet sent troops to go, and there are islands in the South China Sea, which are as bright as the stars. The emperor intended to take Gong Jin as the commander and lead the naval army and warships to pass through. “

"Why is the emperor so ambitious? The territory of the Han Dynasty extends to the North Sea in the north, the Western Regions in the west, and the Wa Island in the east. ”

"Gong Jin knows what is the most powerful on the 6?"

"In the south of Wenyizhou, there are people who are good at driving elephants, and they should be the most powerful things on the 6."

"Yes, if you think about the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is similar to an elephant?"

As a Confucian general, Zhou Yu is familiar with the topographic map, and when spliced together, it is not like an elephant. "Sure enough, it's as Zijing said."

"Elephants are huge, but they can't stand on their feet. The emperor's meaning, the image of the Han Dynasty's territory, must stand firmly, stand firmly, outside the sky, the elephant trunk is curled, the ivory is sharp, see which one in the universe dares to violate? ”

Zhou Yu's interest was raised, "I don't know how to show my feet?" ”

"Dayueshi, Tianzhu and other places are the back feet, and Tangming, Funan, Linyi and other places are the front feet. In this way, the elephant galloping momentum has become a trend. ”

"Years of war, how can the people survive? The suffering of the people is too much war. ”

"Haha, Gongjin doesn't know, Jizhou, Ruzhou, Liaozhou, Wadao and Xianbei prairie are mostly prisoners of war, and every autumn, the harvest is very rich. Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou are vast and sparsely populated, and the land is fertile. Although the emperor has been using troops for many years, he has heavy grain and grass and does not disturb the people. The people cultivated, and the tax was thirty and one, so everyone was happy. When Gongjin recovers, he will know when he goes to the states of Jiangbei. ”

Zhou Yu has his own intelligence system, although he focuses on the military, but he still understands the situation under Liu Ze, and knows that what Lu Su said is right, so he said: "When I recover, I will be a traveler and travel all over the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, how free and easy?" ”

"Haha, wouldn't it be a pity to be buried between the mountains and rivers with Gongjin's talents? The emperor said many times: Gong Jin is a brilliant talent, and he is really talented. With a promising body, between mountains and rivers, the world does not laugh at you Zhou Gongjin, but you want to laugh at the emperor for not being able to use people. ”

Jiang Qin and Chen Wu came to visit Zhou Yu, and when they saw him talking and laughing with Lu Su, their bodies recovered a lot, and they also felt at ease. Lu Su said with a smile: "If Gong Jin retires, Gong Yi and Zi Lie are in the prime of life, and when they are making contributions, won't they also be buried in the soil?" ”

Jiang Qin and Chen Wu didn't know what the two were talking about, but when they saw that the words came to themselves, they said with a smile: "I don't know why the two of you are involved with me?" ”

Lu Su said: "After Gongjin recovers, you are interested in the mountains and rivers, you have been following Gongjin for a long time, and you will inevitably follow, so there is this." ”

Zhou Yu didn't have the intention of making contributions in his heart, just to have a good face and say something to cover his shame, seeing that Lu Su was involved in Jiang Qin and Chen Wu, he was different from himself, the Zhou family was a famous family after all, and the family in Shu County had a big business, so he didn't have to worry about food and clothing; The two of them are different, they are from poor backgrounds, they have no merit, and it is a problem to support their families, and the whole family depends on them, how can they block their way to progress. Therefore, he said: "Zi Jing Hugh is nonsense, when did I say that I would love the landscape?" Just now it was just a joke. ”

Lu Su said: "I know that Gongjin is not a decadent person, and the emperor expects you to contribute to the country as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Qin also said: "The emperor put down government affairs and came to Anhui County, so that the governor could recover. ”

Lu Su said: "Gong Jin don't hesitate anymore, take good care of your body, the position of the governor of the navy is vacant for you." ”

Chen Wu said: "The emperor has always been generous in employing people, which is our luck. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su, "What a lackey of the Han Emperor." ”

Wei Yan killed Yang Huai, turned around and killed the city, fifty elites, all of them were one hundred, bravely and straight forward. One of them was in the battle against Wei Yan and was hacked to death by Wei Yan, Wei Yan shouted loudly: "I am the Hanzhong Taishou Wei Yan, Yang Huai and Gao Pei are dead, why don't you surrender early?" ”

The Yizhou soldiers had long heard of Wei Yan's name, and with 30,000 people, they blocked Cao Cao's 200,000 army and defeated Cao Cao. Now that this killing god has come to Baishui Pass, it is really brave and difficult to fight, and the soldiers have no backbone, who is willing to die, they have asked to surrender. Wei Yan was overjoyed, put up the cannon, and Ma Feng led the army to come and quickly entered the pass.

Yan Pu said: "Jia Meng Pass has not yet known, please send a large army to attack it from behind, both passes are down, and Han Sui has no way back." ”

Wei Yan said: "Okay, Ma Feng listened to the order, took the Yizhou soldiers as guides, sneaked up on Jiameng Pass, and then held on." ”

Ma Feng answered the order loudly, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and quickly went to Jiameng Pass. Wei Yan dispatched men and horses to hold on to Baishui Pass and wait for Han Sui to arrive.

Han Sui's army was elite, and the cavalry was the majority, but the road from the bottom to Baishui Pass was really difficult, and after half a month, Baishui Pass was finally in sight. Han Sui was anxious, Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and others were chasing after him, and now he had hope, and he whipped the war horse on the horse and came to the front of the pass.

Wei Yan saw that Han Sui had brought only a few hundred soldiers, and he was ecstatic in his heart, quietly opened the closed door, and came out. Han Sui saw the people in the customs come out, and hurriedly shouted: "I am Xiliang Han Sui, and I am too conservative with Zhang Su, and I am here to be like-minded." ”

Wei Yan didn't answer, and took Han Sui straight with his sword, Han Sui was a bad old man, how dare he fight, hurriedly turned the horse's head, and hid behind the crowd. Wei Yan rushed into Han Sui's formation, slashed left and right, extremely brave, Han Sui was frightened, looked up and saw the fluttering banner on the pass, with a big "Wei" in the book, and complained in his heart, how did Baishui Pass fall into the hands of this killing star, regardless of the fierce battle of the front army, he hurriedly fled to the brigade. Wei Yan killed Han Sui's own soldiers, and saw that Han Sui was far away, so he had to lead his troops back to the pass.

Han Sui looked at the tall Guan Cheng, and his heart was like drinking coptis water, and he wanted to vomit bitterly but couldn't vomit. Discuss with Li Kan, Zhang Heng, and Cheng Yi where to go? Li Kan said: "The only way to do this is to take advantage of Wei Yan's unstable foothold and attack Baishui Pass. The Shu Road is difficult, if you take a detour again, Huang Zhong and Lu Bu will inevitably come later. ”

Han Sui swallowed with difficulty, "Baishui Pass is a barrier in Chengdu, how can it be easy?" After a few days of delay, our army is in danger. ”

Cheng Yi said: "I don't know what Ming Gong's good plan is? ”

Han Sui said: "The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and tonight, Li Kan and Zhang Heng each led 5,000 men and horses to hide in the dense forest; I led a large army and lied to Hanzhong, Wei Yan will definitely go out of the city to catch up, and when it is shortlisted, it will be attacked, Wei Yan will break, and Baishui Pass will be obtained. ”

Han Sui's army marched in the morning sun of dawn. The scout informed Wei Yan that Han Sui's army was passing through Hanzhong. Wei Yan said: "Han Sui is as cunning as a fox, he must lure me out of the customs." ”

Yan Pu said: "Why doesn't the general just calculate? ”

Wei Yanxi said: "Don't drive quickly." ”

Yan Pu said: "The Han water is abundant, nourishing the dense woods on both sides. I expect that Han Sui will ambush the dense forest, and when the general arrives, they will join forces to attack each other. Why don't generals do so. ”

Wei Yan said: "Don't do it, I'll do it." I also hope to be careful to stick to the gate and beware of sneak attacks. ”

Yan Pu said with a smile: "The general can rest assured, with the solidity of the city, Han Sui is a hundred thousand troops, and Yan will make it difficult for him to advance an inch." ”

Wei Yan led three thousand light cavalry to chase after Han Sui, and when he was about to catch up, with a trumpet cannon, countless men and horses were killed on the mountains on both sides, Li Kan was on the left, Zhang Heng was on the right, and Wei Yan was surrounded in the middle. Han Sui rode to the front of the battle, pointed at Wei Yan and scolded: "Wei Yan'er, I plan to get off the horse and surrender, otherwise you will die without a whole body." ”

Wei Yan looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at Han Sui and said, "Old Zamao, the time of death has come, and I don't know it yet." ”

Han Sui was furious and attacked with an army. Wei Yan's 3,000 light cavalry rampaged through Han Sui's army, avoiding the enemy's edge and killing only the weak. Han Sui saw that Wei Yanshuai was a scoundrel, so he ordered his elite men to surround him. Wei Yan estimated that the rear team was about to arrive, shouted, the formation suddenly changed, and went straight to Han Sui.

Han Sui was surrounded by the elite of Xiliang, and he also killed Wei Yan, and the two armies collided and killed together. Han then stroked his beard and commanded the army to besiege. Suddenly, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and 10,000 elite horsemen in the rear, under the leadership of a young general, entered Han Sui's army. The young general is about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is a martial arts group, and it is difficult to be in the formation; The guards around him are even more elite, and everywhere they pass, Xiliang people and horses are in chaos. Wei Yan turned his head and saw the young general, and was shocked, and said in his heart, why is this master here? Yan Pu, Yan Pu, you wait for Lao Tzu, go back and see that I don't have big ears to shave you, let you be optimistic about this master, how did you let him out, in case there is a mistake, Lao Tzu will explain it in this life. Wei Yan had no choice but to leave Han Sui and return to the army to fight.

This young general is none other than the crown prince Liu Zhen. Liu Ze knows that heroes have suffered a lot since ancient times, and he has never been a great man. Liu Zhen was a young learner and lacked experience, so he sent him to Wei Yan's side to experience the next battle. Wei Yan pursued Han Sui, Liu Zhen volunteered to lead men and horses to respond, but Yan Pu couldn't stop him, so he had to send all the elites to follow. Liu Zhen's personal guards are all masters trained by Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and they are all 100 generals in the army. Liu Zhen led such a group of tigers to charge, and Xiliangjun suddenly cried out in a hurry.

Wei Yan's 3,000 men and horses fought through the siege and joined forces with Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen said to Wei Yan excitedly: "Uncle Wei Yan, why don't you take Han Sui's head like this?" ”

Wei Yan said loudly: "Han Sui still has 30,000 horses, and his combat strength is not bad. This battle is to consume the strength of Xiliang, and the goal has been achieved, and the retreat is the best. ”

Liu Zhen was not convinced, and was still arguing, Wei Yan lowered his face coldly, "Be a military order for the general." Mingjin retreats! ”

Liu Zhen flattened his mouth, suddenly thought, and shouted to his subordinates: "Foot crossbow reflex." ”

Han Sui saw that Wei Yan was retreating and was about to catch up, when Liu Zhen's order had just been issued, and the Xiliang army was shot back head-on by a burst of arrows. Liu Zhen laughed and followed Wei Yan.
