Chapter 667: The Battle of Yangzhou

The inspection of the equipment station did not lead everyone to leave until sunset, Fang Gang stepped out of the camp gate, there were already messengers to report the news, seeing that Yan Wang was talking with Xu Gang, he handed the letter to the military advisor, Xi Zhicai saw that there was no expression and put it into his arms, Zhang He Pei Yuanshao was also very indifferent to this, they could see from the red mark on the letter that this was an urgent military situation, but in such an environment, it was naturally inconvenient to ask each other, and the military division's disposal was proper.

When Liu Yi said goodbye to Xu Gang, Yang Shan and others, Xi Zhicai and Zhang He returned with King Yan in the same car, this time when they came to the appliance office, Liu Yi did not put on the pomp of King Yan, and he didn't care too much about these, after the carriage ran for a while, Xi Zhicai took out the letter and handed it to Liu Yi and said: "Now the life of the little overlord of Jiangdong is not good, Cao Mengde should be merged in the first battle of Jingxiang and get the land of five counties, why did he not move this time?" ”

"Oh, I can't imagine that Zhou Gongjin's ability is still stretched under the attack of the second general Guan Zhang, it seems that although my son of the ancients is good at governing the army, he is not good at governing the government, and it is rare for the people to win the hearts of the people." After reading the letter, Liu Yi naturally handed it over to Zhang He and said lightly, it turned out that this was an urgent letter sent by Gan Ning and Pang Tong, July 13, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's coalition army and Zhou Yu's army fought in Jiangning for a generation, at that time Zhang Fei had 30,000 foot soldiers, Guan Yu cavalry 15,000, and Zhou Yu's Jiangdong soldiers had 50,000 soldiers, the number was roughly similar, but Zhang Yide's 30,000 foot soldiers had nearly 20,000 Danyang elite soldiers, which could be compared with Cao Cao's Qingzhou battalion and Liu Yi's tiger guard battalion! In addition, the cavalry under the command of Guan Yunchang is strong, and even Zhou Yu's ability cannot be defeated under the attack.

At the time when the two armies could not hold each other, the flank of Zhou Gongjin's army was attacked by the people of Xu Gong of Wu County, how could Zhou Lang put this person in his eyes in normal times, but at this critical juncture, he became the key to destroying the balance of the two armies, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both good generals, how could they not fight hard in this situation? Zhou Yu's army could not resist retreating to Danyang, and thanks to his retreat and chaos, he did not suffer too huge losses, but after this battle, he was also unable to forge ahead, Liu Bei's advantage in the battle of Yangzhou has been very obvious, according to time, at this time, the edict of the queen of Fu may not have arrived, if this edict is again, I am afraid that Liu Bei's initiative will be further expanded.

And Cao Cao had allied with Sun Ce before in order to deal with Liu Yi together, but this time he did not suffer much loss to get the five counties of Jiangbei among the nine counties of Jingxiang, Liu Biao retreated to the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River and had no power to fight back for a while, it stands to reason that Cao Mengde should send troops to help Sun Ce, but at this time his choice is to stand still, and it is a bit of a bit to sit back and watch the two win or lose, which is indeed intriguing.

In Liu Yi's eyes, Zhou Yu was the top handsome talent in the Three Kingdoms, although he was a good general in land warfare, he would not be defeated like this, and the biggest reason was probably Sun Ce's heart of the Jiangdong clan, it seemed that he was assassinated this year in another time and space, and the person who did it was Xu Gong! History is always stubbornly trying to return to the original trajectory, although Sun Ce was not assassinated this time, but he may also be unbearable when he suffers this defeat, Liu Yi's words coincide with what Pang Tongxin said, saying that to appease the Jiangdong Shi clan, that is after Sun Quan succeeded to the throne! Although Xiaobawang is a good commander in the army, he is not as good as his brother here, and he himself understands this reason, "If you raise the people of Jiangdong and decide between the two formations and compete with the world, you are not as good as me; Be virtuous and capable, so that everyone can do their best to protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as Qing. That's a clear statement.

"The king, the military advisor, no matter what Cao Mengde did not move, after this defeat, Sun Bofu is afraid that it will be difficult to be Liu Xuande's opponent, this person once had a side of the fate when he joined the king's troops to aid Xuzhou, and he didn't feel how it was at the time, but the king was quite important, and now it seems that he is indeed far-sighted, although he has the help of the two generals to have this victory, but this person's scheming is absolutely extraordinary." At this time, Zhang He also carefully read the battle report in his hand and said, but he was no stranger to Liu Bei's three brothers.

"Liu Xuande is also a hero, its ability to be similar to Cao Mengde, but it is difficult to have a hard career without a foundation, and now this Yangzhou battle is a desperate gamble, and the determination will be better than Sun Bofu, Jiangdong soldiers are good at water warfare, but it is difficult to play the advantages of Xingba in each other, the combat power of the two armies was originally poor, and the generals of Guan Zhang should not be under Jun Yi Gongming, coupled with the uncertainty of people's hearts, Ren Zhou Gongjin has the ability to pass through the sky I am afraid that it is difficult to reverse the decline, compared to Liu Xuande, his two brothers and experience are a little immature after all!" Liu Yi said that his value for Liu Bei was only below Cao Cao, and he also recommended Guan Zhang, so he had always been a head-on opponent of Cao Cao, but he took various means to restrict Liu Bei, and did not turn against him.

"What Jun Yi said is quite reasonable, Cao Cao's heart can be considered in the long run, since the king added the second general to the Xuzhou assassin history, this battle of Yangzhou his Flying Tiger Army has completed the king's trust, it should be time to retire." Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and then looked at Liu Yi and said.

"Well, what the military advisor said is very good, you can quickly send a message to Xingba, let him go back to the army directly, let Gongming lead the Longxiang battalion soldiers to respond, and the land of Xuzhou will also be optimistic about Lonely, if you talk about this matter, Wenhe is quite prescient, I will write a letter to Liu Xuande, and inform all the edicts after Fuhou, so it is natural for Xingba to return to the army, as for the belonging of Yangzhou, it depends on Liu Bei's own ability, as for Qingzhou in the ban to hand over the document and self-treatment, can fight and fight, if the war can not be collected as soon as possible and retreat, Let Ziyi's Beiping camp confront him between Ji and Qing, and see how much time this Cao Mengde can make Yu Wenze stay here, he had better not leave! Liu Yi said happily after hearing the words, now his strategy is to shrink and hold steady, once Xuzhou is here, Liu Bei is so advantageous, he will never let Gan Ning help again.

"When I meet the state capital, I will write a book immediately, my lord, now that General Wenyuan has taken Hangu, and the Wuhuan and Xiongnu armies have returned to the division, can General Gao's Tiger Guard Battalion and General Fan's Bingzhou Battalion be transferred back to Youzhou to rest?" After Xi Zhicai agreed, he asked Liu Yi, from now on, the entire deployment of the Youzhou Army will focus on the layout with Cao Cao's Qingyan land.

"In the first battle of Sizhou, Tingxuan led the army to block the coalition army for three days, and the losses were extremely heavy, so he should be transferred back to the good life to recuperate and recuperate. In addition, after the overall situation is stabilized, he wants to let his son come to Beijing for a trip, Wen and Fengxiao are also indispensable, and there are three brothers and Wen Yuan who are sitting in Jizhou Sizhou, when it is okay, our army's future strategy still needs to be carefully considered! The idea of this important minister's gathering has been in Liu Yi's mind for many days.

"I think the king is feasible, but when the situation is stable in various places, I am afraid that it will be after the autumn harvest, but first pass the book and Zicai, Fengxiao, Wenhe and others, I think that Pang Shiyuan is also among them, if the king has some hidden worries about Xuzhou, he can let General Zang Ba go out of the North Sea to help, presumably in the short term whether Cao Cao or Liu Bei is afraid that there is no power to do this, Xuzhou is in the hands of Liu Bei for the land of the four wars, and the same is true under the king, but on the contrary, it is very conducive to our army to attack, but Zhicai heard that many people in Xuzhou want to go to Yangzhou with Liu Xuande, I'm afraid the state capital is empty! Liu Yi expressed this idea that day, and for the sake of the overall situation, he also agreed.

"Hehe, Liu Xuande has always had the name of benevolence, the sky is going to rain, the mother wants to get married, let's go, even if this person can do the land of Yangzhou without three years of stability, it is difficult to threaten the lonely, the large population is also a temporary burden, don't pay attention to it! It's not too late to let Xingba get to Xiapi and then block it. Liu Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, population is indeed an extremely important manifestation of strength, but the effect is slow and requires long-term stability, he will not give Liu Bei three years of stable time!

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married? The king's words are indeed quite subtle! Xi Zhicai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what the lord was thinking, and smiled quite lightly at the moment.

"Hahaha, Liu Mou has always regarded Cao Mengde as a strong enemy, and I heard that his father and son have poetic talents, "one hundred people are left, and there is no rooster crying for thousands of miles." It is indeed an aphorism, and it is because he has been reading poetry and books lately, and he can't lose too much. Liu Yi laughed out loud when he heard this, there is no battle of Guandu in this world, and I don't know if Cao Mengde will have another "Jieshi in the east to watch the sea." Sentence? I don't know the sentence "How to solve worries, only Du Kang." "Can it be sung through the ages, and it is difficult for him Liu Langsheng to beat the horse and Cao Cao when it comes to poetry and articles, but the poet can not do it, but the overlord can't give in.

"Well, with the power of the lord, I guess I won't lose if I am dedicated to this." Xi Zhicai and Zhang Hewen were also stunned when they heard the lord's boastful words, and after a while, Xi Zhicai spoke.

"Zhicai Xiu is going to praise, he has self-knowledge, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have Cao Mengde's talent in this life, and it is not bad to let him be a hermit with peace of mind after he can't say it." Liu Yi said when he heard this, although there was no ridicule in his words, he could see a strong confidence!

The three of them talked with the car, and they didn't realize that they had arrived in Beiping City, Xi Zhicai naturally wanted to go back to the state capital to complete the trust of the lord, and Zhang He wanted to discuss with Tian Yu about adding Youzhou County to the Huwei camp, and the three of them parted ways, and Liu Yi changed the frame at the city gate and returned to the house.

Today, when the husband left, he did not mention that he had a meal in the utensils, and no one came to pass it on, so Cai Yan and other women were waiting for him to come back for a dinner in the hall. Liu Yi returned to the house, Cai Yan ordered the cook to serve the food, and Lang Sheng first went to his mother's courtyard to say hello, and then returned to the inner hall to live with his wives and concubines.

"Husband, what new knowledge do you want to teach me and other sisters tonight?" During the banquet, the women saw that their husbands were in a good mood, and they must have gained something in the utensils today, of course, they would not ask each other about this matter, but Zhen Mi mentioned the teaching things that have been taught in the past few days, in addition to Arabic numerals, her husband's whimsical ideas can be said to be endless, and the women are even more interested and enjoy each other every day.

"The knowledge in your husband's belly has been hollowed out by you, and this lesson can't be taken anymore, and I don't know who taught whom." Liu Yi quickly replied, the women's curiosity and learning ability made him sigh very much, this is to be placed in the future generations are all top students of famous universities, that Arabic numerals have been taught for less than a day, he is no longer Zhen Mi's opponent!

"Husband, you are rich and unfathomable, how can there be a time when your talents are exhausted, Mrs. and our sisters have been waiting for you for a day." As soon as Zhen Mi said it, all the women also echoed it, this kind of teaching can not only make them close to their husbands but also relieve their curiosity, which is really unbearable.

"Ahem, that's what I said, okay, continue tonight, but it's different from the past, my Liu family's business has a lot of sewing women's clothes, and the income is quite considerable, so I should do something for my husband." Liu Yi said with a smug expression when he heard this.

"Oh, the husband still has this ability?" If someone else had such words, the women would naturally not believe it, how could the dignified prince have an opinion on women's clothing? But Liu Yi is different, even if he says that he can move mountains and reclaim the sea, all the women have to think about it carefully.

"Zhen'er, how dare you question your husband? Okay, I'm going to try it with you today, are you done eating? Go to the study with your husband. Liu Yi pretended to be lustful, and then got up to wash, and the girls were dedicated to seeing their husband's skills at this time, and they went with him after washing at the moment!
