Chapter 68: The Military Order to Contain Cao's Army

One day in April of the nineteenth year of Jian'an, I was immersed in happiness all day because Qing'er was diagnosed with a happy pulse, and on this day I made an exception and did not personally deal with any official affairs, and accompanied her in the Taishou Mansion all day. I was accompanied by Shana, I drank a lot on the day I married Shana, and when I returned to the new house, I was unconscious, and when I woke up the next day, she lost her temper with me, and I was so scared that I never dared to go to her room to sleep again, so until now, I haven't touched her in the real sense.

Shana, the barbarian princess, is also very proud, and said that unless I go to beg her one day, or don't think about entering her house, all day long just with her female guards who married with her to practice martial arts for fun, I am also happy to be quiet, although Shana has always been very tempting to me, but in my heart, I have always been a little afraid of her, which is why I deliberately got drunk that day in the cave room.

Somehow, the relationship between Shana and Qing'er is very good, Qing'er has become more and more virtuous since she married me, although her status as my main room is higher than Shana's, it can be seen that Shana has always been a sister and a sister, and she has never had a shelf at all, and although Shana will inevitably have a barbarian princess temper, her personality is straightforward, but she is also kind-hearted, so although the growth environment of the two of them was once so different, but as they get along for a long time, they have become more and more harmonious. So when Shana learned that Qing'er was happy, she rushed over from the martial arts training ground as soon as possible, and she was as happy as I was.

However, on such a happy and peaceful day, the herald from Nanjun came into my house at an inopportune time. As soon as I heard him say to me, "Lord Zhuge , General Guan has an order to order you to quickly order 10,000 troops to go to Nanjun to listen to the survey!" My heart chuckled.

Now that we have just made peace with Dongwu, Dongwu has just been defeated by Zhang Liao in Hefei and demoralized, and it is difficult to start a war in a short time, Guan Yu wants to transfer tens of thousands of troops from me to Nanjun to meet Cao Cao!

Could it be that Liu Bei is already ready at Jiameng Pass and has begun to march to Hanzhong?

With this question in mind, I quickly opened the warrant written by Guan Yu to me, which looked like it was drafted, and only Guan Yu's signature and his big seal were below to ensure the authenticity of the warrant.

The content of the warrant is very simple, which probably means that Liu Bei has sent 50,000 troops from Jiameng Pass to Hanzhong, the strikers are Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, Liu Bei is accompanied by Zhao Yun to unify the Chinese army, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng are military advisers to give advice to Liu Bei, and my husband Kong Ming stayed in Chengdu to assist Zhang Fei to continue to stabilize Shu. In order to contain Cao Cao's reinforcements to Hanzhong, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to prepare troops and horses in Nanjun, and made a gesture of attacking Xiangyang but not attacking it, so as to attract part of Cao Cao's attention and relieve the possible pressure on Hanzhong. But Guan Yu now has less than 30,000 people in his hands, and Cao Ren in Xiangyang also has a military strength that is not weaker than 30,000 people, which is why Guan Yu is now transferring me to take people to Nanjun.

The military order is like a mountain, and Guan Yu also stipulated the time limit for me to arrive in Nanjun, and I didn't want to touch his brows, so I immediately settled the affairs of the county and sent troops to Nanjun, and all the affairs in the county were entrusted to Xie Xian.

Because Liu Bei had Zheng Liang from me to be the leader of his bodyguard, and I had no other generals to use, I wanted Shana to go with me to support the scene, but now that she is in a cold war with me, it is difficult for me to open this mouth, so I pretended to say to Shana unintentionally: "Shana, the county town of Nanjun is much larger than Wuling City, and the city is particularly prosperous, why don't you go with me and go to play together?"

Unexpectedly, Shana immediately glared at me and said to me, "I won't go with you!" I'm going to stay with my sister! "Rejected me outright.

Qing'er patted Shana's hand and said to her: "Sister, you still go with your husband, it's not easy for a man to be outside alone, before my husband went to Shuzhong, I couldn't accompany him with the army, he was lonely enough, and now I am pregnant and can't accompany him, my husband's martial arts are just average, I can rest assured with you, and if he needs anything, it is much more convenient to have you by his side." ”

I saw Shana's face turn red all of a sudden, Qing'er's last sentence was too ambiguous, I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Shana's arm and said to her, "Yes! Shana. If you don't go with me, something will happen to me, and the child in your sister's womb will have no father! Only then did I ease the meaning of Qing'er's words.

Shana immediately shook off my hand and shouted to me, "Good! Then I'll go with you for the sake of Sister Qing's face! After that, he said to Qing'er: "Sister, take care, I'll go pack my bags!" After speaking, he left in a hurry, probably ashamed of Qing'er's previous words.

Qing'er looked at Shana's deserted appearance and smiled at me and said, "I can only help you get here, husband, this time you can't grasp it anymore, and you will never have a chance in the future!" ”

I shook my head with a wry smile helplessly, hugged my fist at her and said, "Thank you, madam, then I'll try my best to tame her." ”

In this way, the next day I took Shana and the two of us to our respective escorts, lit up 10,000 military horses along the avenue day and night, slowly marched towards Nanjun, Shana rode with me in red armor, all the way to the mountains and rivers between the two people although it is inevitable to raise the bar but not lonely, to the port to get off the horse, get off the boat and continue to ride, except for the night Shana still sleeps in a tent by herself, I can't make up my mind to keep her, she can't take the initiative to stay in my tent, We also arrived in Nanjun all the way before the deadline set by Guan Yu.

Outside Jiangling City to greet us was Mi Fang, because I had already met Dr. Ren in the public security before, so I was not surprised to see Mi Fang here, I asked him where General Guan was, he told me that Guan Yu could not wait for my army to arrive and lead the troops to Xiangyang, and asked me to garrison the army in Jiangling City at any time, and I could also temporarily increase the garrison of Jiangling City.

Mi Fang was very surprised to see Shana's appearance, and asked me if this was the princess of the barbarians, I told him that he had been saying something about my beauty on the way into the city, Shana was naturally very uncomfortable listening to it, and at first she was still forbearing, but then she really thought Mi Fang was too verbose, so she was no longer willing to go with me, and told me that she wanted to go to the rear army to see, so she drove her horse to the back. Mi Fang also knew that she was not interesting, so she smiled and said to me: "Your princess has become a concubine, and her temper is not small!" "I won't talk about it anymore.

When I arrived at the accommodation arranged for me by Mi Fang, I stayed with him, and only then did I ask him what progress Guan Yu had made since he sent troops to Xiangyang. Mi Fang told me that Guan Yu only led 20,000 troops and horses this time, and the remaining more than 10,000 people, except for Jiangling and the public security left 3,000 each, were scattered around the passes to guard, so although this soldier was out, but it was only set up in 30 miles outside Xiangyang City, neither attacking Xiangyang, nor fighting with Cao Ren who came to challenge, only caring about strengthening the camp every day, there was no other movement, Liu Bei gave him a private letter he never asked the second person to read, it seemed that he wanted to wait for Hanzhong to fight and transfer Cao Cao's main force away before attacking Xiangyang.

I think the reason why Guan Yu did this must be Liu Bei's intention, otherwise, with our Guan Erye's temper, although the troops in his hands are not as strong as Cao Ren, he will definitely want to fight with Cao Ren first. But with the little force he has now, if he fights with Cao Ren, even if he can take advantage of it and defeat Cao Ren, if Cao Cao's army comes to Jingzhou first, let alone capture Xiangyang, it is difficult to say whether it will be difficult to keep our Jiangling.

In this way, I was a little relieved to see that Guan Yu did not act rashly, and since then I have begun to settle down in Jiangling City, waiting for news from Hanzhong.
