Chapter 342: Sima Hui's News Assassination
Abolishing a big thing is not a matter of one sentence, even if Mrs. Wu has the qualifications and ability, it is not something that can be done casually. After the bitter begging of the military generals, Mrs. Wu's anger was slightly reduced, and she made some concessions, not to abolish it for the time being, but she must have a sense of awe for the old ministers, and she must not regenerate the incident, in addition, she must hand over Jingzhou, if she can't stop Jingzhou from continuing to attack within a month, it will be abolished immediately!
Liu Yong, who was in Xiangyang, didn't know this, and under the large-scale attack, he swallowed the entire Yuzhang whale under his command, and the territory area expanded again, and the eyes of the four seas were watching. Today's Liu Yong is no longer the hairy boy he was at the beginning, but a powerful man who looks at the world and Dingliyu, and once again ordered Gan Ning to take advantage of the victory to attack and sweep Poyang County, and everyone in Jiangdong is in danger.
On the one hand, he consolidated the territory he had gained, and on the other hand, he sent troops to attack Danyang again, hoping to completely suppress Jiangdong in the coastal area, and take the Yangtze River as his own inland river with Lujiang Gaolan. However, the invincible Jingzhou Tiger and Wolf Division did not receive good news for a whole month, Liu Yong suddenly became alert and hurriedly sent someone to investigate the truth.
However, Liu Yong, who got the information five days later, was distressed. It's not that Gan Ning doesn't work hard, and it's not that the soldiers don't have to die, but since the occupation of Yuzhang, a large area of mountains in Nanling has become the frontier position of Jingzhou, and the barbarians in the mountains are constantly harassing, and it is difficult for Gan Ning to go east with peace of mind.
Gan Ning felt that this was his own business, and he was embarrassed to report it to Liu Yongyu. In order to solve the trouble, he personally led an army of 20,000 to exterminate it. But these mountain people have lived in the mountains for generations, and they are quite familiar with the geography, and when the army arrives, the early run is gone, but as soon as the army leaves, he comes out to attack the people, and even attack the county seat.
Gan Ning not only did not make contributions, but was taken to run a lot of mountain roads, and on the way, he was also harmed by insects and beasts in the mountains, and he was infected on the way, and more than 2,000 people were injured by the dead and injured, which made him very annoyed. The matter of the Eastern Expedition to Danyang had to be delayed. Knowing that Liu Yong sent someone to investigate, he was embarrassed to report the matter.
Liu Yong couldn't cry or laugh, and wrote a letter to reprimand Gan Ning, warning that if he dares to make his own decisions and does not report things, he will be severely punished. The progress of the campaign is slow, Liu Yong is not afraid, he is afraid that because of this, a kind of officialdom atmosphere of reporting good news but not bad news will be formed, and his subordinates will make decisions without authorization, and irreparable consequences will occur.
After consulting with everyone, it was still fruitless.
On this day, Sima Hui suddenly came to visit, and Liu Yong didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly welcomed in. Seeing that Liu Yong's attitude towards him was still the same, Sima Hui was not arrogant because of his high status and great increase in power, so he finally put his mind at ease and said one thing: "Someone in my family is ready to come and defect!" ”
"Who?" Liu Yong was stunned, the current head of the Sima family is still Sima Fang, looking at his life experience, he is as cunning as a fox, he naturally will not come to the limelight in this troubled water in person.
"I don't know!" Sima Hui shook his head.
Liu Yong couldn't help but think that he could let Sima Hui personally test himself, obviously the person who came would not be a simple ordinary person in the Sima family, and the most suitable person to pinch his fingers at present would be the next generation of characters.
"Could it be one of Sima Bada?" Liu Yong secretly guessed. According to age, there are four suitable people, the eldest Sima Lang, the second "wolf Gu" Sima Yi, the third Sima Fu, and the fourth Sima Kui. The other four were too young.
If you can't think about it, you don't want to, as long as it's one of the "Sima Bada", there is no garbage, any one is good. It's a relief when you think about it.
Sima Hui was also confused, only knowing that someone in the family was coming, he didn't know who it was or what time, and Liu Yong, who listened, rolled his eyes. scolded in his heart: "Isn't it just from the Sima family, this is too big." If it weren't for the fact that you are old and have a favor with me, otherwise it doesn't matter who he is, such a big shelf, no matter how good it is! ”
Without a letter, Liu Yong didn't bother, so he simply went to Yuzhang to take a look. After arranging everything in Xiangyang, he took Pang Tong, Ling Tong, and Zhao Yun directly to Jiangxia by land, and by the way, took a look at the situation of Chidao.
The road is very well built, with small stones mixed with sand and lime, and it is very strong after being soaked by rain, although it is not as good as the asphalt road of later generations, but in today's world, it is an unparalleled smooth road. The width can be used for four horses in parallel, Liu Yong is very satisfied, and is ready to reward Mi Zhu after returning to Xiangyang.
When he arrived in Jiangxia, Hua Xin came to greet him, and after trying his best to be courteous, until Zhu Huan of the navy led 20,000 people to escort him. Liu Yong also knew that his identity was different, and there were not a few people from all sides who wanted their own lives, and he didn't mind, and he waited for Huaxin and other Jiangxia civil and military officials to send them to Yuzhang.
Gan Ning was in the south of Yuzhang and couldn't be there in person, so Liu Ye rushed to Chaisang and went out of the city to greet Lu Dai, who was sitting in Chaisang, and it was another scene of celebration for monarchs and ministers. When I arrived in Nanchang City, it was already half a month later.
Liu Yong stood at the head of the city, full of emotion, thinking of the last time he fled here, he couldn't help but feel the impermanence of fate. At the same time, he thought of the soldiers who died to protect himself, so he went to Poyang Lake to pay respects.
At Liu Yong's request, the memorial service was carried out on a boat on the lake. Only Ling Tong and Kou Feng guarded him, and there were only five other personal guards. Zhao Yun led the other guards to guard the shore.
Just as the memorial service was completed and Liu Yong was about to leave, several people suddenly burst out of the water and shouted: "Liu Yong, accept your life!" ”
The people here are all extraordinary, with capable movements, holding blades, and rushing straight towards Liu Yong. The people on the left and right were stunned, but there were still people who openly assassinated Liu Yong.
said that it was too late, and Ling Tong next to him blocked Liu Yong's body with an arrow, and the snake spear in his hand shook, and a spear picked up a person, and the person sprinkled a stream of blood arrows in the air and fell into the water again.
This group of people were obviously outlaws, although the others were pale, but none of them hesitated, and none of them retreated, and their movements remained unchanged and continued to rush forward.
Liu Yong watched the training of sergeants every day, and he often practiced martial arts, and his vision was not low, and he saw at a glance that these people had undergone strict training, and he was not an opponent, nor was he reckless, so he immediately retreated to the rear guard.
However, on the other side, several people came out of the water again, the same outfits, the same cold eyes. The guards were taken aback again, and the situation was not good.
Just as one person was about to approach Liu Yong, Kou Feng snatched a spear from one of his guards and threw it at Zheng, but the man did not expect Kou Feng's shot, and was immediately pierced through his chest and fell on the side of the boat.
The ship was only a mile away from the shore, and the situation on the boat was immediately noticed by the shore, and they were all shocked, and no one expected that someone would be so bold as to come and assassinate their master, and they were shocked.
