Chapter Twenty-Seven: Return to Luoyang
Cao Cao's actions far exceeded Yuan Yun's imagination, and by the time they returned to Luoyang on a large ship, the imperial army had been assembled on two fronts, one route in Xuzhou was in charge of Xiahoudun, and the other route was assembled in Xudu, led by Cao Cao himself, and went straight to Yuzhou to force Shouchun.
Sun Ce led the army to the north and began to build fortifications on the opposite side of the river, and the location happened to be the location of Chibi, at the same time, Liu Bei began to approach Hanzhong in Yizhou, Yang Aruo also received the news, and was eager to rush back to Xia Zhai.
The most surprising thing is that Jingzhou, which was the first to assemble the army, is now very quiet, although the army is assembled in Xiangyang, but it has never left, and more than 100,000 people are still stationed outside the city at the moment.
Looking at such information, Yuan Yun also looked a little inexplicable sitting on the deck, it stands to reason that Yizhou and Jingzhou can act at the same time in order to exert the greatest pressure on Luoyang, and it is really unbelievable that Jingzhou, led by Liu Qi, has stopped attacking.
After Zhuge Liang got the battle report in Yuan Yun's hand, he studied it carefully, laughed in an instant, and then shook his feather fan and said: "Liu Bei is really not as benevolent and righteous as he shows, he is planning to kill Liu Qi." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned and puzzled: "Why did Brother Kong Ming say that? ”
Zhuge Liang continued to shake his feather fan and said: "Liu Qi must have listened to Liu Bei's idea if he did not move, and Jingzhou must have been waiting for Yizhou's soldiers and horses to attack Hanzhong, and when we transferred troops to resist, Jingzhou would be pressed by the whole army." ”
Yuan Yun was silent for a moment, and immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Liu Bei really plans to trap Liu Qi to death, it is estimated that Liu Bei's attack on Hanzhong is to put on a show, but Liu Qi is at a loss, and he will inevitably lead the soldiers of Jingzhou to start attacking our Wancheng, and when the two of us fight to the most stalemate, Liu Bei will really start to attack."
I wondered at the beginning, Hanzhong Mountain has many rugged roads, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to take the lead in attacking, but now I understand that he is planning to let Liu Qi take Jingzhou soldiers to make him a back, just hoping to attract the main force of our army, which is cunning enough. ”
Zhuge Liang didn't seem to be worried about this matter, after putting down the battle report, the person had already stood up, glanced at the scenery on both sides of the river, and then smiled: "In the evening, we can arrive in Luoyang, and then it will be just like the arrangement of Cao Angshizi, although the lord led the troops to the border of Wancheng to defend, it is already very safe to have a jaw to guard at this moment, and when our reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that what can be done is more than defense." ”
Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, and quickly shook his hand and said, "We're just going to defend, is Kong Ming still planning to attack?" ”
Zhuge Liang looked at Yuan Yun's fearful look on his face, and couldn't help sighing, and said: "The lord is also a marquis in any way, and he is the commander of the defense in the direction of Wancheng, so he has to build more military merits, and the marshal who doesn't want to make meritorious contributions is not a qualified marshal." ”
Yuan Yun pursed his lips and said unhappily: "I have never liked to go to the battlefield, every time I am not driven ducks to the shelves, my biggest dreamland is at home......"
"Stop, stop, this time when defending Wancheng, the lord still only needs to sit in charge, and everything else is done by Liang and the other generals, so everyone can worry about it." Zhuge Liang didn't wait for Yuan Yun to finish speaking, he was already very impatient, who is not struggling for meritorious service in this era, only the lord in front of him is completely a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and Yunyun is a bullshit at all.
Yuan Yun had Zhuge Liang's words, and immediately relaxed, before this ancient military advisor has been advocating that this time in the defense of Wancheng, he Yuan Yun wants to become a real handsome, and it is best to do everything himself, this time it makes Yuan Yun, who has lazy cancer, a headache, and now that he sees the other party loose, he is naturally happy.
Zhuge Liang was obviously a little displeased, but looking at Yuan Yun's indifferent face, he finally smiled bitterly, and then sat down again and said: "Liu Bei led the army in the Hanzhong territory, then as long as we defeat Liu Qi, and then enter Xichuan and make a coercive momentum, then Yizhou will panic from the inside out."
And Liu Bei has just gained Yizhou not long ago, people's hearts are not inevitable, we are so flanked before and after, Yizhou will inevitably have chaos, even if Liu Bei has great ability, he can't take care of each other before and after, so one blow can be broken, so we are definitely not so simple to defend in Wancheng. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Yun hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of Kong Ming's military division, my marshal promises to obey his words, bow his head to his ears, just go into battle to command the battle, don't come to trouble me, I will ensure that the logistics of the army are abundant at most." ”
Zhuge Liang was almost choked to death by Yuan Yun's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he could only choose to accept it, because Yuan Yun was indeed not suitable to lead the army to go on the expedition, and his biggest strength was really logistics supplies.
With a bitter smile again, Zhuge Liang could only shake his head and said: "It's not too late for us to wait until we get to Wancheng, now the 20,000 Hu cavalry led by Zhao Yun should have become combat power now, this time Wancheng's defensive counterattack will depend on them, once the battle on the front line is unfavorable, Yi Liang's understanding of Liu Qi, he will inevitably retreat, and when they really start to retreat to Xiangyang, it will be the moment when our 20,000 Hu cavalry perform, and they will definitely not let them return to Xiangyang City......"
Yuan Yun listened to Zhuge Liang talking to himself, just nodded his head and said yes, or applauded, as if this matter really had nothing to do with him, and finally made Zhuge Liang anxious, but Yuan Yun was thrown on the deck by the stomach, and continued to blow the cold wind that was about to enter winter, but it also looked very comfortable.
Before coming in the evening, the big ship arrived at Luoyang Wharf in advance, and it was Jiang Gan who had not been seen for a long time to greet him.
However, after seeing Yuan Yun, this momentum instantly reverted to the previous villain's style, constantly circling around Yuan Yun, and then reporting what happened in Luoyang recently.
When Jiang Gan said the word 'military parade', Zhuge Liang on the side was stunned and asked, "What is a military parade?" ”
When Jiang Gan heard Zhuge Liang ask this, he immediately went around from one side of Yuan Yun to the other, and then bowed down and explained: "This is also set by Yuan Hou before, before we go out to deal with Yizhou and Jingzhou, we will hold a huge military parade, and now our Luoyang City is probably full of enemy spies, this is the show for them to see." ”
When Yuan Yun heard this, he immediately continued: "When these spies bring back the information that our Luoyang is incomparably powerful, I believe that the other party will inevitably start to chill, I specifically request that all the latest weapons and equipment in Luoyang be taken out this time, and it is important to let these spies see all of them clearly, so that Liu Bei and Sun Ce can both know what absolute strength is." ”
Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "In this way, whether it is Liu Bei or Sun Ce, I am afraid that they will start preparing how to prevent our musket cannons, and in the end they will naturally find that even if they spend a lot of effort, they can't resist at all, this is an interesting strategy, it seems that the lord still has some talent in this regard, this time Wancheng defended, the lord should still do his ...... as a handsome."
"Kong Ming don't say it anymore, it's decided before, this time I'm still in charge, and I must obey other words, it's always changing, isn't it?" After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he had already come to the dock, and at this moment, seeing that Cao Jie's frame had arrived beside him, he immediately got into it with a confession, and he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would continue to chatter.
Zhuge Liang was helpless, so he could only sigh secretly, and then led his former subordinate Jiang Gan and began to ask about the details of the parade.
Cao Jie watched Yuan Yun enter the frame, instantly blushing, and then put on the appearance of a little daughter-in-law, kneeling on one side to give up the position in the middle of the carriage.
Yuan Yun looked at Cao Jie like this, just smiled, and said: "When you were a child, you didn't want to learn "The Female Ring", why did you like to study with Wen Ji later, I still don't understand." ”
Cao Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and soon his face became a little more ruddy, and he replied after a long time: "Because the books don't all say that you men like women who are knowledgeable and reasonable, so later the concubine begged Sister Wen Ji to give me a make-up lesson." ”
Yuan Yun laughed and said, "It turned out that it was all for me, it seems that marrying Sister Jiejie is really my blessing." ”
Cao Jie only felt that this question was really embarrassing, so he deliberately changed the topic and said: "The concubine looks at the streets of Luoyang not like before, what are you doing with so many shelves?" ”
Yuan Yun followed Cao Jie's pointing and looked at both sides of the street, and then explained: "We are going to have a military parade in a few days, so we are just preparing now." ”
Cao Jie's face was full of doubts, and said: "I have only heard of the school field ordering troops, what is this military parade?" ”
Yuan Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "Now that you have heard it, you can also understand it halfway, it is better to wait for a few days and I will take you to take a closer look, and then you will naturally understand." ”
Speaking of the word soldier, Cao Jie quickly fell silent, Yuan Yun looked at the other party's appearance on the side, and could only sigh secretly, in any era, I am afraid that no wife wants to see her husband go on the expedition, but this is an unsolvable matter after all.
Gently hugging Cao Jie's shoulder, Yuan Yun smiled: "I'm going home in a while, have you ever thought about how to change your name?" ”
Cao Jie was stunned, and immediately nodded his head and said: "The concubine has already thought about it on the way here, so Lang Jun can rest assured, speaking of this, the concubine is a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the concubine is a concubine, why does Lang Jun want to build such a big residence for the concubine, isn't this overstep?" ”
Yuan Yun rolled his eyes, and then pouted: "I still need to explain this matter, you have lived in Yuan's Mansion for a long time, don't you know that our back house has never divided any wives and concubines, and now that you are asking like this, do you want to listen to me a few more times, so that you can be more down-to-earth?"
You, when you came, you were called by Ding's mother, I guess you didn't talk much about this matter, right? In fact, it is better to listen to others, than to believe what you have seen with your own eyes, you have seen our family's back house before, will there be any discord? After all, Ding's mother is a person of the previous generation, and some things will inevitably be different when you come to you, Langjun and me, and Sister Jiejie should believe me. ”
Cao Jie finally couldn't pretend at this time, he had already laughed, and then squeezed into Yuan Yun's arms like a coquette, and then said softly: "The concubine will not know the rules of our family's back house, but I just want to listen to Lang Jun say a few words that care about others, who knows that you have misunderstood the place, now I can say it first, I also want to be like Sister Zhen and Sister Yiyi, and I also want to be in charge of a property of Yuan Mansion, I think the clothing is very good, before Sister Yiyi said that this industry is too small, and I am not willing to take over, In the future, it's better to be a concubine, and ah......"
Yuan Yun listened to Cao Jie talking about various plans for the future, and only then did he suddenly react, Cao Jie has been a money fan since he was a child, how could this temper be changed, it seems that the drunken Jing was not lightly confused by her sugar-coated cannonballs, and it was not until she was almost home at this moment that this little girl finally revealed her true nature.
The carriage moved forward like this, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Gan chatted happily on horseback, and Yuan Yun was in the carriage, feeling as if he had married a landlord's wife and went home......
