Chapter 32 Bowangpo

Since Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, in Xinye. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang discussed national affairs together all day long.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are like brothers.

What did Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei look like?

Liu Bei treated Zhuge Liang like a teacher, eating at the same table. Sleeping in the same bed...

From this point, it can be seen how much Liu Bei attaches importance to Zhuge Liang.

Then one day. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "Cao Cao is training sailors in Jizhou, presumably with the intention of invading Jiangnan, you can send someone to Jiangdong to find out the truth." After Liu Bei heard this, he immediately sent someone to Jiangdong.

Jiangdong Sun Quan was assisted by Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, and his power was further expanded, and there were more than 7,000 warships. Sun Quan worshiped Zhou Yu as the governor of the capital, commanding the navy, army and horses, at this time, Cao Cao, in order to contain Sun Quan, ordered Sun Quan to send a son to Xu Du as a hostage. Because Zhou Yu and others resolutely opposed, Sun Quan did not agree.

In the spring of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Huang Zu's general Gan Ning defected to Sun Quan because he hated Huang Zu and refused to reuse himself. Sun Quan weighed heavily on Gan Ning. worship him as a deputy general, and go to Jiangxia to attack Huang Zu together. In the battle of Jiangxia, Huang Zu was defeated, and when he fled in the wilderness, he was killed by an arrow from Gan Ning.

After Sun Quan seized Jiangxia, he planned to send soldiers to stay behind. Zhang Zhao said: "This is a lonely city, and I don't know how to spend manpower to protect it. Liu Biao will definitely come to attack us, we still go back to Jiangdong to wait for work, and then defeat Liu Biao and take Jingzhou. Xiangyang is no problem. According to Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan returned to Jiangdong.

After returning to Jiangdong, Sun Quan personally led the army and camped in Chaisang, while Zhou Yu trained his naval army at Poyang Lake, preparing to face Cao Cao in the north and Liu Biao in the west.

Let's say that the spies sent by Liu Bei, after listening to the news in Jiangdong, came back and reported: "Dongwu has broken through Jiangxia, killed Huang Zu, and is now training the navy and horses." Liu Bei listened and discussed with Zhuge Liang.

At this time, Liu Biao sent someone to invite Liu Bei to Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang said: "This must be because Jiangdong broke Huang Zu, so please discuss how to take revenge, I will go with the lord to see how things develop." ”

So, Liu Bei left Guan Yu to garrison Xinye, and ordered Zhang Fei to lead 500 men and horses to follow to Jingzhou. On the way, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang: "I saw Liu Biao, what should I say?" Zhuge Liang said: "Let's talk about the incident in Xiangyang first, if he asks the lord to conquer Jiangdong, don't agree, just say that he will return to Xinye first and rectify the soldiers and horses." Liu Bei agreed.

In fact, Zhuge Liang meant not to listen to Liu Biao, and not to Liu Bei to attack Jiangxia rashly. Let's go back to Xinye and tidy up first, and then talk about it. Let's wait and see what happens.

came to Jingzhou, Zhang Fei stayed outside the city, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered the city to meet Liu Biao.

Liu Biao met Liu Bei and talked for a long time. Liu Bei wanted to raise troops in Jiangxia to avenge Huang Zu.

At this time, Liu Bei said: "Huang Zu has a violent personality and can't use people, which caused this disaster. Now, if we raise an army to march south, if Cao Cao takes the opportunity to lead troops to kill, then we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, what should we do? ”

Liu Biao was suddenly speechless when asked, and said instead: "I am old and sick, and I am no longer able to govern Jingzhou, I hope that the virtuous brother can come to help." When I die, Jingzhou will be handed over to you! Liu Bei refused to accept it at this time. Although Zhuge Liang has been making eyes on the side. In the end, Liu Bei still didn't agree.

Back at the post house, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei why he resigned, and Liu Bei said that he was unwilling to take advantage of the danger. It was at this time. Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, came to visit.

As soon as Liu Qi entered the door, he cried and said, "My stepmother wants to harm me, I hope my uncle can save me." ”

At this time, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both wanted to help Liu Qi. But it's important to do it. Liu Bei had known about Liu Qi for a long time.

Therefore, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both thought "This is a family matter, and it is inconvenient to meddle." For this reason, Liu Qi was sent away.

Actually, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang wanted to help Liu Qi. Later, it was just Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang who wanted to help him secretly. So I didn't tell Liu Qi.

The next day, Zhuge Liang was ordered by Liu Bei. Bow back to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi asked Zhuge Liang again about how to evacuate.

Zhuge Liang replied: "I live here, how can I meddle in your family affairs?" If it leaks out, it will not do a lot of harm. ”

At this time, Liu Qi used the excuse that there was an ancient book in the attic, and led Zhuge Liang upstairs to have a look.

Zhuge Liang came upstairs, but he didn't see any ancient books, so he was about to go downstairs, only to see that the stairs had been removed, and he knew the plan.

At this time, Liu Qi still chased Zhuge Liang to ask for refuge, Zhuge Liang was also very helpless, and in desperation, he had to say to Liu Qi: "Why doesn't the son learn to pay attention?" Now that Huang Zu is dead, Jiangxia is short of people to govern, you can take troops to guard Jiangxia and you can hide from the disaster. After Liu Qi heard this, he was very grateful to Zhuge Liang.

The next day, Liu Qi asked Liu Biao to guard Jiangxia. Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to discuss together, and Liu Bei said: "Jiangxia is a military important place, and it is necessary for Gongzi to defend it personally." So, Liu Biao ordered Liu Qi to lead 3,000 cavalry to Jiangxia. Liu Bei also returned to Xinye.

At this time, Cao Cao was afraid that Liu Bei's strength would become stronger and threaten him, so he ordered Xiahoudun to lead 100,000 troops to attack Xinye. Strategist Xun Yu said: "Liu Bei is a hero, and Zhuge Liang is a military advisor, so you can't underestimate the enemy." At this time, Xiahoudun said unconvinced: "Liu Bei is just a rat, I must capture him." With that, he set off on his toes.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu has always been dissatisfied with Liu Bei's treatment of Zhuge Liang, I heard that Xiahou led an army of 100,000 to kill, Liu Bei asked the two younger brothers about the enemy's plan, Zhang Fei said angrily: "Brother, why don't you send Zhuge Liang?" Liu Bei criticized Zhang Fei and said: "Zhuge Liang uses wisdom, and the two brothers use bravery, how can they shirk indiscriminately?" ”

Liu Bei was terrified because Cao Cao sent an army to attack him. So Liu Bei found Zhuge Liang again to discuss this matter.

Zhuge Liang's worry is that he is the first time to be a military advisor. Afraid of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei didn't listen to the dispatch.

So, Liu Bei in order to repel Cao's army. gave Zhuge Liang a booster. At the strong request of Zhuge Liang. handed over the sword seal to Zhuge Liang.

After Zhuge Liang got this sword seal. One by one, he delegated tasks to the generals. Sitting in the county seat by himself. Personally command the dispatch.

At this time, Zhang Fei sneered: "We all went to fight, but you stayed at home, so comfortable!" ”

Zhuge Liang in order to stabilize the morale of the army. said: "The sword mark is here, and the violator will be killed!" ”

came down, it was Zhuge Liang's first use of soldiers.

Let's say that Xiahoudun and Yu Ban and others led the army to Bowang Mountain. Half of the elite soldiers were sent to the front, and the rest were behind to protect the grain wagons. After walking for a while, I suddenly saw a dusty crowd in front of me, and a team of men and horses had arrived. Xiahoudun ordered the men and horses to line up and asked the guide, "Where is this place?" The guide officer said, "In front is Bowangpo, and behind is Luochuankou." Xiahoudun then ordered the ban, Li Dian pressed the position, and went out to meet the enemy by himself.

Later, Xiahoudun saw Zhao Yun and had a trick with Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun pulled out the horse and ran backwards at this time. Xiahoudun chased after him. It was later introduced to the Bowangpo Gorge.

Due to Xiahoudun's rash advance, he was introduced by Zhao Yun and Liu Bei into the Bowangpo Canyon, and suddenly saw the fire behind him, and the reeds on both sides also burned. It was windy again, and the fire was even more violent. In an instant, Cao Jun was burned to the ground, and there were countless dead, and Xiahoudun and them had to flee desperately from the path.

Liu Beijun returned victorious. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei admired Zhuge Liang's intelligence at this time, and praised him as a real hero. Liu Bei distributed the captured grain and grass of Cao's army to the soldiers, and then returned to Xinye.

After returning to Shinno.

Zhuge Liang took the initiative to talk to Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang's idea was that Cao Cao would lead the army to attack Xinye again, so he persuaded Liu Bei to take advantage of Liu Biao's serious illness and take Jingzhou to settle down.

Liu Bei said: "Liu Biao is kind to me, I must not do this." Zhuge Liang said: "If you don't take it now, you will regret it later." Liu Bei said: "Even if I die, I won't do such an ungrateful thing!" ”

Zhuge Liang saw that it was useless to persuade Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang himself was also helpless, so he sighed. walked out of Liu Bei's room.

Later, it turned out to be as Zhuge Liang predicted. Something is going to happen in Jingzhou, and something big is going to happen. So what are these things? What kind of crisis is Jingzhou facing?
