PS: First day of October! Autumn Breeze asks for a guaranteed monthly pass! If you can vote for Autumn Breeze, Autumn Breeze will be grateful.
Jiangdong, Xunyang City.
"Shi Yuan, it's been three days, does Zhou Yu really plan to ignore Sun Yi's life and death?"
Liu Bei closed his eyes, frowned, and let out a long sigh: "Do we want to do something to Sun Yi?" ”
Pang Tong also frowned, quite puzzled: "Lord! I'm afraid that Zhou Yu already has a countermeasure, but we don't know, I have a very bad premonition. ”
"Hmmm! Me too. Liu Bei opened his eyes and said indifferently: "But what strategy can Zhou Yu have?" ”
Pang Tong shook his head and analyzed: "Let's rely on Sun Yi to balance Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu is just a Liu Qi in his hands, and he is not a threat to the lord, if Zhou Yu wants to counteract the lord, he must use an external force, so what is this external force?" ”
Liu Bei didn't speak, quietly listening to Pang Tong's analysis.
"Sun Yi, Zhou Yu, Liu Qi, Zhou Yu, use Liu Qi to threaten this person, and he can also threaten"
Pang Tong was stunned suddenly, followed by Liu Bei who was also stunned, and the two of them understood almost instantly, and shouted out a name at the same time.
Liu! Table!
"Report~~~"
At this moment, the news struck, and a small official above the county government knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord! Liu Biao from Jingzhou sent people to visit. ”
Liu Bei and Pang Tong looked at each other, and there was a faint surprise on their faces, they didn't expect Liu Biao to come so quickly.
"Shiyuan! What to do? Liu Bei seemed very anxious.
"My lord! Ordinary heart, we haven't done anything wrong, just normal heart. Pang Tong replied.
Liu Bei took a deep breath, calmed down, and immediately stood up, and said indifferently: "Go!" Accompany me to greet the envoys. ”
The two hurried to the gate of the county government, just in time to see the envoy's carriage coming, the curtain was lifted, and a familiar face appeared.
Kuai Yue smiled and arched his hand: "Uncle Huang." Don't come unharmed! ”
All the uneasiness in Liu Bei's heart disappeared in an instant, he sneered, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Xeno, you and I will definitely get drunk and rest this time." Let's talk for a few nights before we stop! ”
Kuai Yue smiled silently: "Uncle Huang, I really don't hide it, I came here next time to be entangled in tasks, and after the matter is done, it is not too late for us to have a chat." ”
Liu Bei chuckled in his heart. Sure enough, it was not good, but he still had a calm face, with a slight smile: "This is natural, let's talk about business first, and then talk about friendship, come, please here." ”
On the top of the Xunyang City County Government, the three of them finished the ceremony, and the guests and hosts sat down.
Kuai Yue spoke first: "Dare to ask Uncle Huang, can the son Liu Qi be trapped in Guangji?" ”
Liu Bei did not hesitate. Directly: "Hmm! It is indeed trapped in Guangji, and is trying to rescue it. ”
Seeing that Liu Bei answered so simply, Kuai Yue pinched his goatee and asked, "Then Zhou Yu'er is a strategy to set up a siege point to help?" ”
"It's the encirclement point to send reinforcements." Liu Bei sighed: "At this time, I can't wait to enter, and I can't retreat, but it's really difficult." ”
Kuai Yue nodded: "That's right!" ”
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, glanced at Pang Tong, Pang Tong blinked, and then his gaze fell on Kuai Yue: "Xeno, what the hell is going on?" ”
Kuai Yue said in a deep voice: "Cai He was hit by an arrow in the leg." fled back to Xiangyang, saying that the emperor's uncle delayed the fighter plane and borrowed Zhou Yu's hand in advance to eradicate the power of the son. ”
"Cai He!?"
Liu Bei couldn't help but be furious. After a little hesitation, he turned to ask again: "Presumably, the imperial brother sent a different degree to arrest me, right?" Hum! I didn't expect it to come to this point and still didn't believe me, it's just that. ”
Kuai Yue looked up and couldn't help laughing wildly: "Do you think there is such a catch?" After that, Kuai Yue looked at Liu Bei with an extremely strange look.
Liu Bei and Pang were stunned, and then asked, "Didn't Xenodu come to arrest me?" ”
"Of course not!"
Kuai Yue said with great certainty: "Although I am in Jingzhou, I know everything that happens in Jiangdong. This is just Zhou Yu'er's murder with a knife and forcing people to comply, how can he not know it! ”
Liu Bei finally calmed down: "Xenodu, you scared me to death!" ”
Kuai Yue still had some doubts in his heart, and continued to ask: "Dare to ask Uncle Huang, why is Zhou Yu so eager to murder you?" Could it be that you have mastered something? ”
Liu Bei glanced at Pang Tong, and Pang Tong blinked to speak.
Liu Bei said: "Don't hide it, we have captured Sun Yi, the lord of Jiangdong!" ”
"What!?" Kuai Yue was surprised, as if he couldn't believe this sentence: "You caught Sun Yi!?" ”
Liu Bei smiled lightly, nodded heavily, and affirmed: "Xeno, you heard it right, we caught Sun Yi." Sun Yi, the lord of Jiangdong! ”
"Unbelievable! Disastrous! ”
Kuai Yue's body trembled a little, and his eyes kept shaking from side to side: "That's right, no wonder Zhou Yu is in such a hurry!" It's bad if he's not in a hurry! ”
Pang Tong and Liu Bei smiled lightly again, this Kuai Yue's reaction was a little too big, it was really a breach of etiquette.
"Uncle Huang! Where is Sun Yi at this time, can you let me see the truth next? Kuai Yue shook it.
Liu Bei sat up straight, patted his chest and said, "Of course you can." ”
*******
Xunyang Chen, prison.
Pushing open the cell door, a meter of sunlight poured into the prison, startling the prisoners in the prison to hide their faces and dodge, and a cold cold wind hit the face, which made people shudder.
Kuai Yue couldn't help but be stunned, and asked: "Then Sun Yi, the lord of Jiangdong, is a prince, and he was locked up here by the emperor's uncle?" Is it insulting to do so? ”
"Etiquette!?"
Pang Tong let out a contemptuous laugh: "For rude people, we won't be polite!" ”
Liu Bei was silent, and then Pang Tong's words, said: "We have a saying in Zhuo County, see people and people, see ghosts and do ghost things, the same reason, he Sun Yi is rude, then I am rude, and it can be regarded as a courtesy exchange." ”
Kuai Yue could hear that Liu Bei was taking revenge on Sun Yi's rudeness, so he was like this, but there was some truth in his words, and he could barely accept it.
When the jailer saw his lord Liu Bei coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord! ”
Liu Bei waved his hand: "How is Sun Yi?" ”
The jailer said: "Back to the lord, it was very noisy at the beginning, but now it seems that he has become accustomed to the smell of nightshade, and he is very well-behaved." ”
"Oh? Is it? Let's check it out. Liu Bei replied.
The jailer walked in front to lead the way, Liu Bei followed behind, and next to him was Kuai Yue, who was a little puzzled and asked, "Uncle Huang, what is this night incense?" ”
Liu Bei sneered, slightly embarrassed: "You'll know this when you see it." ”
Kuai Yue was silent, and then turned to look at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong snorted, still didn't explain, and waved his hand: "It's better to see for yourself later." ”
As he was talking, a foul smell suddenly came, Liu Bei and the others were busy covering their noses, the jailer may also be used to this smell, so he didn't cover his nose, but just waved his hand: "Lord!" It's here. ”
The three of them lined up outside the prison, Sun Yi was kneeling on the ground at this time, there was a wooden barrel next to him, a group of flies were dancing on the barrel, and then looking at Sun Yi, the two eyes seemed to be dull, and the pupils were very large, only the body fluctuations caused by slight breathing could be seen that Sun Yi was still alive.
Kuai Yue pinched his nose and said incredulously: "He is Sun Yi!?" ”
Liu Bei nodded to show that he was correct, and did not speak, as if he had to swallow a mouthful of stink every time he opened his mouth.
Kuai Yue sighed with emotion and shook his head: "Uncle Huang, let's go!" ”
Returning to the entrance again, Kuai Yue seemed to be a little unbearable, and said: "Uncle Huang, this Sun Yi is still useful to us, so it may not be good for him?" ”
In fact, when Liu Bei saw Sun Yi, he felt that his hasty decision was a bit excessive, and when Kuai Yue interceded for Sun Yi, Liu Bei was overjoyed and agreed directly.
Sun Yi came out of prison, took a beautiful bath, changed into clean clothes, and was placed under house arrest in the county government's home remedies, served three meals a day.
*******
The temporary camp of the Eastern Wu army in Guangji.
Lu Su lifted the curtain and broke in, and stepped forward in three steps and two steps: "Gong Jin!" Great joy, great joy! ”
At this time, Zhou Yu was holding a military book to read, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "But someone from the other side?" ”
Lu Su nodded: "Gong Jin's clever plan, this time the big-eared thief will definitely be defeated!" ”
Zhou Yu closed the bamboo slips, stood up on the ground, and said, "Zijing! Notify all departments, make preparations before stationing, and then order people to pay close attention to Xunyang City, but if there is any news, report it at any time, and there must be no mistakes! ”
Lu Su arched his hand: "I'll do it." With that, he turned and left the tent.
On the day of Shen, the three armies of Xunyang City reported that training had stopped, and everyone was sleeping.
Lu Meng, Xu Sheng and others were quite puzzled, what kind of medicine is sold in this Liu Bei's gourd, what is this going on? Or not fighting?
However, Zhou Yu ordered the three armies to hurriedly gather troops and be ready for battle at any time.
At three o'clock in the day, people reported that Liu Bei's army only carried light weapons, gave up their horses, and went out of the city to the direction of Guangji.
Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and Liu Biao really hit the plan.
So he ordered Ling Tong to lead 3,000 men and horses, set off immediately, and rushed to the dense forest outside Xunyang City to ambush, but seeing that the battle was raging in the direction of Guangji, he launched an attack on Xunyang City.
The number of troops in Xunyang City is not more than 10,000, and if you want to cooperate with Guangji County to break through the Wu army outside the city, you have to be infested with the whole army, so in Zhou Yu's view, Xunyang City must be empty, and it can be broken with one blow.
After Ling Tong took Xunyang City, he sent someone to rescue the lord Sun Yi, and then went all out to aid Lu Meng, killing Liu Bei's army in a front and back attack, that is, Liu Bei's army will definitely be defeated.
And Lu Meng's army had already set up an interception on the road to Guangji, relying on the favorable terrain to block layer by layer, he was very confident that Liu Bei Pifu would never break through this iron bucket-like block.
The night was deep and pitch black.
Liu Bei's army lit torches and slowly killed in the direction of Guangji City. (To be continued.) )
