Chapter 740: Bloodstained Jingzhou (Part II)
The hall was brightly lit, and whispers rang out from time to time.
"You all saw ..... just now"
"..... the temper of these three generals is really as violent as I have heard, if it weren't for General Zuo being his brother, who would be able to tolerate him."
"I'm not talking about this, but about Jingzhou, the king of Jin waved his army south, marched together in three ways, Xishu, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong were full of smoke, and his heart really wanted to take the thirteen states in the world."
"...... this statement is wrong, although the soldiers and horses of the King of Jin are prosperous, but the new Central Plains, the people's hearts are unstable, Xu is not strong, so it will not be long, as long as the soldiers are blocked for a few months, when the cold winter comes, they will retreat and stop fighting, at this moment Xu is empty, there are people with great righteousness, raise their arms and shout, and the Central Plains will be overturned only in a moment."
"Filial piety has always been strategic, but why only say good things and not talk about our situation? It is true that the king of Jin waved his troops to the south, but General Zuo has a new Yizhou, and the officials of Shu are not yet familiar with it, Hanzhong is already in the hands of the king of Jin, and the battle of Jingzhou is defeated again and again, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong is also fighting the Yangtze River, and he has no time to take care of him, in other words, General Zuo has no reinforcements outside, and he is close to these 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses to meet the 150,000 army of the King of Jin...... It is clear at a glance which one is stronger and which is weaker. ”
In the main hall, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Yongmao, Fei Shi and Li Yan, Fa Zheng, Jiang Wan and others on the left side of the seat clashed words, and it was quite fierce for a while, after all, Shu was newly surrendered, and some officials in Shuzhong were not willing, and at this time, the crisis in Jingzhou and Hanzhong was imminent, and the differences were naturally exposed. But the one who really made up his mind was Liu Bei, who retreated from the back hall.
The light extended, and someone looked into the back hall, and there was a faint anger mixed with the quarrel here.
"The eldest brother has a great foundation, has he forgotten the brotherhood?"
"Three generals, how can you contradict ...... like this"
"My brother and my military advisor interjected to come over and do something, begging for a beating-"
Maybe Zhang Fei's voice was too loud, for fear of affecting the ministers of Shu who were invited to the banquet in the main hall, or maybe he was really afraid that he would beat Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, who was looking at the night outside the window lattice with his hands behind his back, frowned and turned around, and suppressed his voice: "How can the third brother talk to the military advisor...... Halfway through, seeing the big eyes of the copper bell staring at him, he sighed and softened his tone: "...... How could Brother Wei watch Yun Chang fall, but Yide was too impatient, and he couldn't tell me anything. ”
"When will the big brother send troops?!"
Liu Bei looked at the third brother's face, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and the tiger's whiskers were angry, so he held the other party's hand, "Brother Wei can't wait to be in Jingzhou right away, fight to the death with that tiger, and rescue Yun Chang, but Yide knows that Shu has just arrived in our hands, and the newly attached people have not paid attention, not to mention that the soldiers and horses who entered Shu with the army are not tired, and even that Gongsun Zhi knows that he will recuperate for a while before moving south, will you and I not know?" ”
"Brother is just reluctant! You forget your brother! Zhang Fei slammed his fist on the wall, the dust peeled off and floated down, he shouted loudly back and forth, stopped to look at the other party, and gritted his teeth: "...... The eldest brother has no crown and no tile, have I ever been separated from the second brother?! This Yizhou wants me to say, it's not as important as a green scarf on the second brother's head! ”
"Yide!"
Liu Bei shouted in his voice, grabbed the other party's arm again, and his eyes turned slightly red, "Yun Chang is a brother, how can a Yizhou be compared!" It's just that Gongsun Zhi persecuted too much, and now take Hanzhong, it is really imminent to enter Chengdu, if you and I go, Yizhou will be reversed, and Yun Chang has not been saved by then, and he was chased and killed by the northern cavalry, then he is really in a dilemma, and there is no place to die! ”
At his status and age, his emotions can be easily restrained, and his eyes can still be wet and red at this time, which is somewhat so much that Zhang Fei on the other side is a little moved, and his anger is also slightly restrained.
"The eldest brother is in a difficult situation..... the younger brother hasn't thought too much, but the second brother also needs ......"
"Listen to me first." Liu Bei took a deep breath, waved his hand, and pulled him in front of him, "...... Jingzhou is in danger, and my brother is also worried about the danger of Yunchang'an, but everything has to be the same, and when I repel the soldiers and horses in Gongsun Zhihan, my brother immediately took Yide back to Jingzhou to relieve Yunchang's predicament, what do you think? ”
The light shone on the figure of the black man and slowly took half a step back, Zhang Fei looked at him for a while, and shook his head: "You can also divide your troops .....!" ”
Zhuge Liang approached from the side and said: "Three generals, Gongsun Zhi 150,000 troops, there are even more fierce generals in it, if there is no general to suppress it, even if Liang has a thousand strategies, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist." ”
"My brother speaks, you go away!" The leopard's head turned around and roared at him with an angry glare. Zhuge Liang, who was forced to pinch the feather fan, looked at the lord Liu Bei embarrassedly, and took two steps back to the side quite embarrassed, the latter waved his hand, asking Zhuge Liang not to take it to heart, he looked at Zhang Fei for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The words of the military advisor are not unreasonable." In this way, Yide stayed, and sent Liu Feng and Meng Da, who had gone to Shangyong, to lead the troops to relieve the siege first, after all, the two generals were in Jingzhou closest, and they could arrive in less than half a month. ”
The lights flickered and reflected the silence, Zhang Fei clenched his fists for a while, and finally nodded, "I can only listen to the eldest brother." He arched his hand: "My brother is not in the mood to continue drinking and eating meat, so he will go back first." ”
He walked to the corner of the eaves and turned back: "Please also ask the eldest brother to send a letter to Liu Feng and the others to send troops to Jingzhou." ”
With that, he strode away. Liu Bei turned around and walked back into the house with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking. Zhuge Liang followed behind, the gently swaying feather fan stopped for a while, leaned over and whispered: "The third general is short-tempered, he has an old relationship with Gongsun, it is inevitable that he will not quietly go out of the city to meet each other, although he will not do anything unfavorable to the lord, but it will be unfavorable to the army's heart." ”
"Yide has been with me for more than 20 years, and he will have his own measure." Liu Bei slowly walked under the corridor to the front yard, and after a moment of silence around him, he suddenly let out a sigh: "...... ordered that my brother should not be allowed to go out of the city, Yide, he should be able to understand." ”
After a pause, he asked: "..... military division, we collected Liu Zhang's soldiers and soldiers and horses when we entered Sichuan, there are 110,000 in total, and the grain is also sufficient, what are the chances of winning a battle with the 150,000 troops gathered in Hanzhong?" ”
"The victory is slim, but there is a way to draw it."
Seeing Liu Bei's gaze, Zhuge Liang raised his feather fan and pointed to the south: "Send some gold, silver and silk to the chieftains of the Southern Barbarian Land, and let them send troops to unite with the lord. ”
"That's all ..... can do now."
Liu Bei nodded, raised his head, the night sky was full of stars, the moonlight was shining coldly, Zhang Fei, who had gone to the mansion, rode alone on the night streets, the night was silent, there was no one around, he raised his head and let out a suppressed roar.
"If my brother is in trouble and can't be saved, what kind of siblings are he-"
A streamer of light swept through his gaze, disappearing between the stars and the moon.
***********
To the south of Xiangyang, to the north of Dangyang, on the gentle slope of the foothills, there are also people looking up at the dense galaxy in the sky.
The cold wind blew over the mountain, the surrounding woods were soothing, and occasionally there were groups of torches lit up below, and the thousands of Jingzhou soldiers gathered on the mountain stood up nervously, pinched their weapons, and waited for the cavalry with torches to go away, they relaxed a little and sat down again, looking at the bonfire lit in front of them in a daze.
After the first battle of Xiangyang, they broke out with the main general in the siege of the ten thousand armies, and went straight to Dangyang, if the doctor of the public security and Mi Fang of Jiangling can come to support, they can turn to Yiling Mountain Road together, and pass through Wu County to enter the shortcut of Shudi, but after going south, before waiting for the two reinforcements, they were caught up by the cavalry of the north in the county, and in the chaos, they had to go up the mountain to dodge. But in fact, the other party has basically found that they are hiding here, and only sends a few small groups of scouts to roam nearby every day, as if they are waiting for the foot soldiers to come and attack the mountain.
In this way, I am afraid that no one will be able to continue walking.
Guan Yu leaned on the rock and looked up at the night sky, the eldest son Guan Ping was changing the bandage on his arm, before Xiangyang City broke through the combat strength, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong fought for a while, he was injured in three places, and some places are still oozing blood. Looking at Xingyue's gaze retracted, Guan Yu heard footsteps approaching, turned his head, and the slender and thin general, who was about forty years old, was arching his hand towards him: "Junhou." ”
"How are you injured?"
The general named Zhao Lei was the Xiangyang guard, after Wei Yan and Cai Mao opened the city gate, he rushed out first in the city to protect Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's family, but the journey was slow, and finally mixed with Guan Yu who broke out of the siege in the Nanzhangshui area, and hid in this foothill.
"There will be nothing to do......
Guan Yu nodded slightly, "Everyone else has escaped, right?" ”
"The families of the lord, the prince, and the three generals have all passed, and now it should be able to go to Jingmen Mountain......"
"That's good, that's good....."
Guan Yu's voice stopped, the mountain fell silent, and after a while, he spoke softly: "Don't worry, after dawn, follow me to break through, Brother Wei should already be on the way, and Mi Fang and Dr. Ren's reinforcements should be about to arrive." ”
"..... we can get out!"
He looked at the starry sky and repeated: "It will rush out." ”
