Chapter 243: The Land of the Four Counties
Zhuge Liang glanced at Huang Yueying and said with a smile: "Thank you?" You also want to thank me, let me tell you, my lady's talent is ten times that of mine, with her, you kid can worry about it in the future. ”
Liu He turned his head to look at Huang Yueying, and said with a wicked smile: "Sister Yue, your family's Xiao Ming can say that the little black fat man on the ground is a hundred times more talented than him, and now it's you...... Forget it, I'll talk about it at all, so that some people don't have to say I'm stirring up trouble. ”
Huang Yueying smiled indifferently and said softly: "What my husband said is not wrong at all, sir, don't look at me like that I usually look at Shi Yuan, in fact, he is the real talent." ”
Liu He looked at the little black fat man who was drunk on the ground and didn't look sleepy, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Liu He thought that this was Huang Yueying's self-humility, but he suddenly remembered that this was the first time he had heard Huang Yueying call the little black fat man.
Pang Shiyuan, is it really more powerful than Zhuge Kongming?
"Mr. Tianji, it's not too early, shouldn't you go back?" Zhuge Liang's words interrupted Liu He's train of thought.
Liu He pretended to be disappointed and let out a long sigh, turned to Qin Shuang and said, "Let's go, some people think we are in the way here." ”
Qin Shuang saluted Zhuge and his wife, and then followed Liu He downstairs.
Walking down the street, it was empty.
After the celebration just now, Jiangxia City, which had been noisy all night, returned to its former peace, and the drunk people had fallen asleep peacefully.
The two walked one after the other, never saying a word.
In the end, it was Qin Shuang who was the first to speak, breaking the silence, "You...... You okay? ”
Liu He stopped, turned around and smiled brightly, shook his head, and continued to walk forward.
"I always feel like you're going on today." Qin Shuang said in a low voice.
"I'll sing you a song from our hometown." Liu He said suddenly.
"Singing?" Qin Shuang frowned, "You can still sing?" ”
Liu He smiled: "I can sing a little, but the tunes of our hometown songs are weird, so don't feel strange when you listen to them." ”
Qin Shuang nodded and continued to walk forward with Liu He, only this time, the two were already walking side by side.
That night in Jiangxia City, I don't know whose singing woke up many people who had fallen asleep, and the people couldn't help but feel a little funny when they listened to the strange tune, but the person who sang seemed to be very emotional.
Can you let me go with you, since you said, I can't keep you......
The next morning, a gentle drizzle came.
This kind of weather is most suitable for lying on the bed and sleeping lazily, but Liu He, who was still full of alcohol, was picked up from the bed by Chen Mo, who rushed into the room.
"There is urgent military affairs in the army, and Zhuge military division is invited." Chen Mo pulled up the sleepy-eyed Liu He and walked out.
Liu He shook off Chen Mo's hand, summoned Spring Frost and Autumn Dew, and began to wash up in a hurry.
"You, it's this kind of frizzy nature, now that Cao Jun has retreated, how can there be any urgent military affairs to speak of?" Liu He put a warm hand towel on his face, and suddenly felt much refreshed.
Seeing that Chen Mo was still in that hurry, Liu He handed the handkerchief to Chunshuang and asked with a smile: "What happened, let's hear about it." ”
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Zhao Yun couldn't attack Changsha for a long time, so he sent an urgent report for help."
"What?" Liu He picked up his clothes, and before he could put them on, he hurriedly walked outside the gate, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
In order to take the four counties of Changsha, Guiyang, Wuling, and Lingling, Liu He specially sent Zhao Yun to go, and had already prepared enough soldiers, horses, grain and grass for him, but he did not expect to encounter this situation.
Even Zhao Yun couldn't defeat it, and it seemed that Changsha's garrison was far better than the other three counties.
Liu He slapped his head, how could he forget him, although Changsha Taishou is a small character who is not in the stream, but the general who defends the city is Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals in the future.
When he came to the barracks, Liu He didn't say a word, and went directly into the big tent of the Chinese army.
Zhuge Liang, who had a sad face, briefly introduced the situation to Liu He, and then hurriedly dispatched military horses, preparing to rush to Changsha to support Zhao Yun.
Under Zhuge Liang's deployment, Guan Yu has already taken the lead and led five thousand elite soldiers to set off, Liu He knows the importance of this battle, and he also agrees with Zhuge Liang's deployment.
The four counties have not all been taken yet, Jiangxia City cannot be given up yet, someone must stay here, and now that Guan Yu is not there, this heavy responsibility naturally falls on Zhang Fei.
After everything was arranged, Liu He and Zhuge Liang set off for Changsha together.
There was nothing to do all the way, and when they arrived at the foot of Changsha City, Guan Yu had joined forces with Zhao Yun, but on the head of Changsha City, there was still the Korean flag.
Changsha guarded Han Xuan, standing on top of the city tower with high spirits, looking at the more than 10,000 Liu Beijun under the city, looking complacent.
Liu Beijun came to call for battle three or four times, all of them were repelled by the Changsha guards one by one, this unexpected victory, gave the Changsha Taishou a lot of confidence, he firmly believed that as long as it lasted a few more days, the army under the city would retreat on its own.
But how did Han Xuan know that it was not only Liu Beijun in front of him who was eyeing him in Changsha City, but also the Governor of Zhou, who was talking and laughing, and a fire that wiped out Cao Cao's millions of warships, was also rushing here non-stop at this time, but it was only a few days late.
Zhou Yu's covetousness for Changsha, Liu He naturally knew it, and the reason why he urgently recalled Zhao Yun before the class master Jiangxia City and turned to attack the four counties was to take these four important towns in Jingzhou before Zhou Yu.
But at present, Changsha has not been able to attack for a long time, once Zhou Yu arrived, out of the agreement to join forces to resist Cao at that time, he could no longer attack Changsha, and the loss of this city would have a great impact on the original plan, that is, the strategy of taking most of Jingzhou based on the land of the four counties.
Without Changsha, it seems that it is only one county less than originally planned, but in fact, it has lost almost half of its territory.
This is clearly seen from the map, the distance between the four counties is almost the same, and with this as the origin, an almost square territory can be drawn on the boundary of Jingzhou.
But if Changsha is lost, the three points are connected, and only a triangle can be connected, isn't this equal to half of the territory?
What's more, except for these four counties, there is almost no important town around that can be stationed, if the four counties are all in the bag, they can support each other, and for Zhou Yu, there is no place to station, and the supply of grain and grass is difficult to keep up, and it is difficult to grab this territory.
But if Changsha falls into the hands of Zhou Yu, he can use it as a base and station troops here, and once there is a breach in the garrison in any of the other three counties, he can seize this opportunity and conquer it in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the land of the four counties is indispensable.
Now that Zhou Yu's army is coming, looking at the Changsha city that has not been attacked for a long time, Liu He is in trouble.
