Chapter 158: Offering Pictures
"With half a year as the time limit, it seems that this kind of combat strength needs to be tens of thousands of talents, and it cannot be filled indiscriminately, still as long as this kind of strong army, weapons and equipment, are all equipped with complete equipment, I don't know if Yuan Zhi and the old general Hansheng can achieve it?"
Huang Zhong and Xu Shu looked at each other when they heard this, just because they were able to train these 5,000 elite soldiers in half a year, in the eyes of the two, they were already proud of it, they thought that Liu Feng would not ask for the expansion of military strength in the short term, but they didn't want Liu Feng to be dissatisfied with this.
These 5,000 sergeants, all skilled in bows and horses, are an army of one enemy and ten, but Liu Feng still insists on the number of 10,000 people, even if it is Guan Yu who guards Xiakou, his personal soldiers are only 2,000 school swordsmen, and the rest are ordinary soldiers sent by Liu Bei, Liu Feng's ambition can be seen from this.
"We must do our best, but I don't know why Ziwei wants these 10,000 soldiers and horses, 5,000 men and horses are practicing here every day, if you want to hide your whereabouts, it is already very difficult, if the number of people is developed to 10,000, I am afraid that there is a risk of being discovered by someone with a heart......" Although Xu Shu agreed, he also questioned it, it is not difficult to develop 10,000 elite soldiers, but the difficult thing is that these 10,000 elite soldiers cannot teach any unrelated people to find out.
"When it is 10,000, there is no need to hide in this lofty mountain range, if this kind of tiger and wolf teacher, if you don't teach people to see, won't you be a sergeant in this troubled world in vain?"
After hearing this, the two of them didn't say more, Liu Feng walked step by step, arranged many things in an orderly manner, every step has its deep meaning, he didn't want to say, Xu Shu naturally couldn't force it, his mind was already on how to raise the remaining five thousand soldiers in half a year. He faintly realized in his heart that the time set by Liu Feng was probably the time when Liu Bei sent troops to Yizhou.
In the meantime, Liu Feng hurriedly returned to Jiangling City with Pang Tong, he knew that when the army was about to be dispatched, Liu Bei might summon him into Xiangyang City at any time to prepare for departure, which was the most sloppy time.
Sure enough, only half a month after Liu Feng returned to Jiangling City, he was recruited by Liu Bei, in addition to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun were also summoned into Xiangyang, and the people who came to deliver the letter said that Zhang Song of Yizhou was invited into Xiangyang by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang on the way back to Xuchang CD, and summoned Liu Feng and others to accompany him.
Liu Feng heard this, he knew a little bit in his heart, because he and Cao Zhi almost every month have correspondence, in the previous letter Liu Feng asked Cao Zhi Yizhou and Hanzhong about the matter, a few days ago got a reply, Cao Zhi had a message of Yizhou envoy Zhang Song, came to visit Cao Cao, has been waiting in the post house for many days, Cao Cao did not want to meet with him, only hung it in the post house.
Since Zhang Song was able to come to Xiangyang this time, it means that he did not ask for some benefits in front of Cao Cao, and this person originally had some secret dealings with Zhuge Liang, so he arrived at Liu Bei's place, Liu Feng knew that Zhang Song must be a person who swayed left and right, and Zhuge Liang could have dealings with him, and he must be lured by heavy profits.
Sure enough, when Liu Feng entered Xiangyang, Liu Bei sent him and Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others to feast Zhang Song every day, and talked to them about the many exploits of everyone in the past, how to kill Cao Cao's people on their backs, flee in a hurry, and make Zhang Song tremble before giving up.
It seems that this banquet invited Zhang Song for five days, this day Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were all present, after three rounds of wine, Liu Bei sighed, and said that Jingzhou was borrowed from Sun Quan, but now there is actually no place to live, and it is quite difficult to send people under the fence.
Zhang Song is exquisite, how can he not hear the meaning of Liu Bei's words, think for a moment during the banquet, is to leave the table and kneel on the ground, to Liu Bei and the people in the banquet said: "Liu Zhang He De how can he be, but from his father to take over the post of Yizhou pastor, just Zhang Lu, can not be the enemy, Yizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, millions of household registration, should be the virtuous people to live in, Song and Yizhou close friends Fa Zheng, Meng Da three, early heard the name of Uncle Liu Huang's benevolence, has already made a plan, want to give Yizhou to Uncle Liu Huang, after today, Song will serve under Uncle Liu Huang, Uncle Liu's life, Song Wu did his best! ”
Liu Bei and the others said this, but at this time, they were surprised, and waved their hands again and again: "Where is Ziqiao saying this, I and Liu Jiyu are of the same clan and clan, how can we bear to take away their inheritance?" Ziqiao's words, isn't it drunk? ”
Now, how can Zhang Song believe the words of the same clan and the same clan, knowing that Liu Bei's words are just to test whether he can really help Liu Bei, Zhang Song is just a different driver under Liu Zhang, and he is also short in stature and ugly in appearance, if it were not for this, he would not have gone to Xuchang twice before and after the Battle of Chibi to help Liu Zhang and Cao Cao befriend, but he was humiliated by Cao Cao in every way.
"Uncle Huang didn't know, Song went to Xuchang to meet Cao Cao this time, Cao Cao was very impatient with Liu Zhang, and bluntly said that he would send troops soon, and Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang would be wiped out.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? That Cao Cao is really a thief who steals the country, the land of Yizhou, must not fall into his hands, it seems so, I will be invited by Liu Jiyu is not indispensable, but everyone knows that the land of Shuzhong, the road is long and obstructive, I am afraid it is not a few days to reach ......"
Liu Bei said this, gently stroked his long beard, and looked at Zhang Song, how could Zhang Song not know Liu Bei's intentions, and said loudly at the moment: "Song knows that it is quite difficult for Uncle Huang to go here, so when he came here, all kinds of hardships and dangers in Yizhou have been written on this map, Uncle Huang has this map, Yizhou has nowhere to go, even if he sends troops tomorrow, there is no danger!" ”
Zhang Song said, then on the spot in his sleeve to pull out a scroll of pictures, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, busy people to submit the scroll to the case, a look, only to see the geography of the mountains and rivers in Shu, the distance, even the treasury money and grain, the number of garrisons, all reflected, can't help but feel great joy in the heart. Yizhou is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Liu Bei got Liu Zhang's letter, but he is also unwilling to rashly lead the army to go, once things change, it is likely that the situation will not be opened, and now with this map, these many matters have been solved.
"In this case, this time I went to help Liu Jiyu resist Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and I will definitely win in one fell swoop! Ziqiao just went to tell Liu Jiyu, and when I straightened out my troops and horses, I could go to help Jingzhou properly! ”
At the end of the banquet, Liu Bei sent Zhang Song back to Yizhou, Zhang Song is a traitor to seek glory, Cao Cao sent troops to Chibi before, he went to visit, did not get good results, this time again, Cao Cao still did not want to meet, this is the picture of this want to be dedicated to Cao Cao to Liu Bei, Liu Bei can not know, so Liu Bei only regards Zhang Song as a messenger in general, specific matters, and does not want to teach him to know.
