Chapter 445: Final Decision
Wu Yi is the head of the Wu family of the Yizhou clan, with great power and strength, almost no one dares to move lightly, and at the same time, because he and his brother Wu Ban each occupy a prominent position in the army, and their reputation is in full swing, no one can compare.
Wu Yi's defection directly caused an uproar in the Xichuan military and political circles, which made the already panicked Yizhou officialdom even more at a loss. Yan Yan and Wu Yi, two top figures in the east and west of Yizhou, both fell to Liu Yong, and the most direct impact was the reduction of grain sales everywhere, and many grain stores even stopped selling directly, because everyone knows that in the war period, only grain is the most tangible thing.
Liu Zhang was eating lunch, but the rice grains of white flowers were like wax in his mouth, not half sweet.
Chen Zhou and Zhou Qun asked to see each other at this time, but Liu Zhang had no appetite, so he directly threw down the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly recruited the two to enter.
"Lord, the society will fall, and the foundation will be difficult to survive!" As soon as he entered the door, Qian Zhou cried loudly.
If you are a bystander, you probably won't let it go easily if you don't ask for the crime of disturbing the army's morale or demagoguery, and you won't let it go easily, but Liu Zhang has long been surprised by the nonsense of his subordinates in front of him, but thinking of the bad news in recent days, he sighed, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all, with a sad face.
"Zhongzhi, you are very good at the art of occupying the heavens, can you take a hexagram and see the good luck?" Liu Zhang looked at Zhou Qun with hopeful eyes, hoping to get a good news from Zhou Qun's mouth.
Zhou Qun's mouth was bitter, and he didn't know how to say it. As a person who is good at divination of celestial phenomena, he will naturally look for opportunities when he encounters things, from the time he learned that Tongxian County was besieged, Zhou Qun had divined a hexagram, and knew that this matter was a big murderer, and then Jiangzhou fell, and it was a hexagram again, and it was a big murder, and when Liu Yongbing was in Fuguan, Zhou Qun did not give up, and calculated again......
Zhou Qun was disappointed, and when Liu Zhang asked at this time, he naturally couldn't help but say, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to speak.
"It's hard to do everything, I'm afraid there's no room for error!" Zhou Qun pondered it again and again, and finally only said this sentence, and Liu Zhang, who was full of hope, suddenly felt a heavy blow in his heart and almost collapsed. Although he had expected it, this sentence from the close minister still made his heart cut like a knife!
Qianwei County, the war is also defeated and retreated, the general Wu Lan was defeated and captured in Zizhong, Zhang Fei Zhuge Liang is like no one's land, in one fell swoop captured Niu Ying, the army is advancing to Guangdu, Zhuge Liang is sending Meng Da to attack Wuyang, Chengdu is already in danger, and the army is about to come to the city.
Liu Zhang was depressed, and Liu Yong was also depressed. Even Wu Yi's surrender didn't make him much happier.
Three days have passed since the news of Cao Cao's army marching north to Liaoxi, and thousands of miles from Fuguan on Yijing Road shows that at this time, Cao Cao's army has already set off for at least ten days, and it is time for the final decision to be made.
"Recruit the Pang military division to come!" Liu Yong wanted to ask for the opinion of the strongest strategist he trusted the most.
Pang Tong came soon, as if he had already expected the result, without any anxiety, he sat down calmly and tasted tea, as if he would not answer until Liu Yong spoke.
Liu Yong smiled slightly: "Shi Yuan's heart has grown again!" ”
Pang Tong smiled, and after taking a leisurely sip of wine, he said: "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, and don't delay the business when the time comes!" ”
"Then how do you know that a poisonous snake will not jump off the wood that has been chopped down?" Liu Yong asked with a solemn face.
Pang Tong laughed: "The lord is too worried, the cold winter is coming, at most a gray pheasant will jump down, where is the poisonous snake!" ”
The two seemed to be chatting nonsense, but the two of them knew what they were referring to, and Liu Yong had long been accustomed to this kind of habit of speaking from the scholars.
Liu Yong really couldn't think of where Pang Tong's confidence came from, and he didn't know what was in the big head on the top of his low body, and how the brain circuits were different from his, so he asked in a deep voice: "Why is Shi Yuan so convinced, the stakes are so important, and they can't be arbitrarily broken!" ”
Seeing Liu Yong like this, Pang Tong said with a rare positive color: "The lord doesn't have to worry, at this moment Xuchang is empty, only Cao Hong 20,000 horses and horses garrison Xiangcheng, and the rebel general Wen hired 5,000 men and horses to garrison Dingling, and our Guan Yu army of 50,000, there are also Yin Li's 5,000 men and horses garrison Nanxiang, Chen Ying 3,000 men and horses in Biyang, the lord can order Guan Yu to lead the army to storm Xiangcheng Cao Hong all the way, to attack and defend Wuguan, Zang Ba Governor Hanzhong affairs, Yin Li, Chen Ying, Xiangyang Mi Fang, Sun Guan into the command of General Zilong, go to Wancheng to assemble, and order Zilong to capture Dingling for the second way, Runan Lusu led the army north to capture the counties of Runan for the third road, and Gao Ran led the army to the north to Pingyu. But secretly ordered Zilong, when he captured Xuchang City, he left the north gate to chase after him, and he would definitely be able to build a miracle! ”
Liu Yong looked at the map, carefully compared what Pang Tong said, and exclaimed in his heart, this guy seems to have little time to have a positive line all day, but in fact, he has already contained the whole world in his heart, so arranged, although there is some emptiness inside, but the people in Jingzhou are recruited from all over the place, and the power has not yet developed, and there are Huang family, Pang family, and Ma family, even if there is a problem, it is enough to solve it. As for Xiangyang, there is no need to worry, there are tens of thousands of Ganning sailors cruising on the river, which can be reached in one day, and Liao Hua still has 10,000 city guards in his hands, and there are 3,000 guards, which are foolproof.
Although Pang Tong said that Guan Yu would not have a problem, Liu Yong was still not very relieved. What he is most worried about is not that Guan Yu is rebellious and self-reliant or antagonistic to himself because of the maintenance of the Son of Heaven, because Guan Yu attaches great importance to loyalty and righteousness in his life, even if he wants to oppose himself, he will make it clear to himself, at least he has to have a "seal and seal gold" or something, Liu Yong is most worried that Guan Yu was only interested in avenging Liu Bei when he took the service, but after all, Liu Bei was not personally ordered by Cao Cao to kill, once Xuchang was captured, Guan Yu felt that he had taken revenge, if he retreated and asked to return, who could sit in Xuchang.
There are no mortals at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although Zhao Yun is powerful, but in this life, there is no seven in and seven out of Changban Slope, it is indeed difficult for him to have the fame and deterrence that Guan Yu has now.
Pang Tong had already seen Liu Yong's concerns, and said, "There is still one person needed to assist Guan Yu!" ”
Liu Yong nodded, but this person seems to be the only one, thinking of this, Liu Yong got up and bowed to Pang Tong: "This matter still needs Shi Yuan to go, the kid can rest assured!" ”
Pang Tong was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Liu Yong's current identity could still pull down his body to worship his subordinates, and he was shocked inexplicably. He even knows that people who can do such things must be people with a decisive heart, and if he has a great kindness, he is afraid that he will not have it for the rest of his life, and he would rather go into hiding at this moment than offend such a person.
Pang Tong straightened his clothes and bowed to Liu Yong solemnly and respectfully: "The lord is very gracious, I will never dare to forget, and I will repay him with death!" ”
However, at this time, it was Pang Tong's turn to worry about Yizhou: "After the lord leaves, the lord can use Zhang Song, but he can't listen to everything, you might as well listen to the advice of Jiang Wan, Yan Yan, Wu Yi and other people in Yizhou, with the wisdom of the lord, I believe it is enough to deal with this matter." ”
The two agreed that Liu Yong would not delay any longer, and immediately wrote several letters in his own hand, ordered people to send them everywhere, and gave Guan Yu a separate letter, believing that at least before the capture of Xuchang, there would be no problems.
The military order was distributed, Liu Yong suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. But at the same time, curiosity is hung up, and at this moment when history changes with him, what kind of trajectory will slide, he himself is waiting to see.
