Chapter 347: Liu Bei goes north
In the land of Jingchu, an army of about 5,000 people traced the water to the north. The army was neat, and the surrounding area was filled with an aura of slaughter. The big flag of Chu is fluttering, mixed with the flag of "Liu".
Liu Bei is the commander of this army, and this time Liu Biao ordered to lead the army north. Since Liu Biao in Nantou, he was sent to Jingnan to cooperate with Cai Mao to conquer Nanban. Although under the banner of conquering and suppressing the barbarians, in fact, they are cleaning up Jingnan and disobeying the ruler of Liu Biao.
After years of hard work, the suppression and appeasement are combined, and now the counties of Jingnan are safe. The Southern Barbarians were exterminated, and the internal relocation was relocated, and the largest Wulingman couldn't stand Liu Bei's strategy of trapping the mountain and burning the mountain, and was forced to go out of the mountain and surrender to Cheng.
Originally, in essence, the southern counties that were outside the rule of Xiangyang were also completely ended their independence and returned to Liu Biao's rule under the joint defeat of Cai Mao and Liu Bei. The four counties of Jingnan were newly set up as Xiangzhou by Liu Biao, and Kuailiang was the history of Xiangzhou.
Liu Bei has been in Jingnan for many years, and he has made a lot of contributions, and his strength has expanded a lot. While Liu Biao thought that he was using the right person, this also aroused his suspicions, and various suppressions followed. For example, Kuai Liang and Wang Wei's southern transfer is actually to monitor him.
At the same time, the generals under Liu Bei were also transferred. For example, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were the most famous, were both reassigned to serve in the rest of the Jingchu army. For all kinds of unkind actions, Liu Bei followed, Guan Zhang, including Liu Bi, Gong Du and others were transferred, Liu Biao thought that he had eliminated Liu Bei's threat, but he didn't know that this gave Liu Bei the opportunity to influence other Chu and Han armies.
After Jingnan was pacified, Liu Bei was named General of Annam and sat in Changsha. Liu Bei was obscure, less military affairs, sometimes wild travel, visiting Jing Han sages, in Jingzhou Shilin, Liu Bei has gained a lot of fame.
Now the people available around Liu Bei are only Sun Gan, Chen Dao, and Liu Feng, but with the help of Liu Biao, the old departments scattered in Chu and Han can secretly grasp a lot of power.
Liu Bei's age is younger than Liu Yuan, but his "self-cultivation" kung fu is obviously in place, his hair is still dark and swarthy, and he is obviously strong and strong, showing his skills. Standing near the water and looking into the distance, the city wall of Xiangyang in the north is in sight, Liu Bei sighed a little. After so many years, I finally have some capital.
"Lord, this King of Chu suddenly transferred you to the north, there will be no fraud!" Beside him, Sun Qian asked. Liu Biao's suppression over the years has made Liu Bei's subordinates indignant, and many of them are unconvinced, and they are afraid of any action of Liu Biao.
Looking at Sun Qian's expression, Liu Bei smiled casually: "Gongyou, don't be so nervous. I didn't expect it to be just a matter of cutting summer, the king of Chu is going to use me! ”
Liu Bei's eyes are bright, he has eyeliner in Xiangyang, Yuan Cao has already mobilized troops, and according to the covenant, his Chu army should also be dispatched. But at this time, there are still people who propose to sit and wait and see whether they will succeed or fail, and when to send troops is still to be discussed. Thinking about the situation in Xiangyang, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile, Liu Biao likes to use Qingliu, such a big thing, he should have acted firmly, but in this situation, he is still hesitating, he is really old.
Xiangyang has prepared a camp for Liu Bei, settled properly, and Liu Bei brought people into the city. At the gate of the city, the people who were engaged in Yi personally led people to wait.
"The lower official is ordered by the king of Chu to welcome the envoy!" But seeing Liu Bei coming in peace, Yi came up to greet him.
"There's a labor machine!" Liu Bei stepped forward to return the salute and greeted him cordially. The relationship with Iraq, Liu Bei is getting along well.
"What's going on with the summer? King Chu, have you made up your mind? Slowly entering the city, Liu Bei tilted his head and asked.
"The matter of sending troops has been decided. The military order has been sent to Nanyang, and the king of Chu appointed Zhang Yun as the governor, who is fully responsible for the attack on Xia, and ordered the king to go north, but also wants to use you to participate in the battle of Xia! Yi replied in a low voice.
"Zhang Yun!" The corners of Liu Bei's mouth flashed with a playful smile.
Cai Zhang's power in Chu is getting stronger and stronger, and Liu Biao is also jealous, which is also the reason why Liu Biao retained his strength while suppressing Liu Bei. Liu Bei, an outsider, was deeply rejected by the Jingxiang Hao clan headed by Cai Mao, and Liu Biao also became a lot of exclusions from Cai Mao for Liu Bei in Xiangyang.
This time the troops went north, and the army used was the elite of Jingchu, and Liu Biao moved his mind to balance Zhang Yun with himself. Just like when Cai Mao was balanced in Jingnan, Liu Bei knew it in his heart.
and he came to the king's house and was brought in. After carefully looking at the courtyard of this palace, Liu Bei sighed a little, this palace room is well repaired, and I don't know how much people's and financial resources have been spent.
After walking for a full two quarters of an hour, he was finally welcomed into the palace of Liu Biao's governance. Hearing the summoning order, Liu Bei straightened his clothes and entered solemnly.
"Minister, General Liu Bei of Annan, meet the King of Chu!" Liu Bei bowed.
"Xuande is exempt!" Seeing Liu Bei, Liu Biao's face was kind: "Take a seat!" ”
Liu Biao is indeed much older, his hair is black and white, and the old spots on his face are rampant. After becoming king, he chose a lot of beautiful women to enrich the harem, which seemed to be quite hard and hurt his vitality.
couldn't help coughing a few times, and glanced at Liu Bei, who was guarding the courtesy of the ministers, Liu showed a satisfied look on the surface: "Xuande has worked hard for Xiangzhou to settle down for Gu over the years!" ”
"Don't dare, this is the responsibility of the minister!" In front of Liu Biao, Liu Bei put his posture very low: "The minister was in the north and struggled for ten years, and when he reached the king of Nantou, he was put in a stable place. The king is deeply favored by his ministers, and he will repay it wholeheartedly! ”
In the face of Liu Bei's loyalty, Liu Biao's words made Liu Biao feel a little embarrassed, whether the previous suppression was too much.
"The heart of Xuande is lonely and clear!" After some encouragement, Liu Biao coughed again.
"Your Majesty, you still need to take care of your health!"
"When I am old, I know the destiny of heaven, and this body is not as good as day by day!" Liu Biao shook his head and looked at Liu Bei: "The sons of the lonely, only Liu Qi has grown up." Lonely wants to order him to enter the dynasty to assist Lone Governance, what does Xuande think? ”
Looking at Liu Biao's understatement, Liu Bei's eyes shrank slightly, his face was expressionless, and he looked at Liu Biao: "There is nothing wrong with this matter, the king can decide for himself!" ”
"Xuande thinks so too!" Liu smiled on the surface: "Cai Mao and others thought that Liu Qi was less and would not do more, and suggested that they wait for two years, but with Xuande's words, they can rest assured that they are lonely!" ”
Liu Biao is going to involve himself in this Jingchu infighting, Liu Bei said secretly in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what is the so-called matter of calling the ministers to lead the troops to the north this time?" Liu Bei changed the subject.
When it came to business, Liu Biao's expression was solemn: "The order of the summer has been issued." Lonely wants to appoint Xuande as the deputy governor, assist Zhang Yun to attack Wuguan, and ask Xuande to lead the army north! ”
"The minister is ordered!" Liu Bei immediately got up.
"However, there are few people available under the command of the minister, so I specially ask the king for a few people, and the ministers will listen to them!" With a flash in his eyes, Liu Bei bowed his hand and asked.
"Oh?" Liu Biao was a little curious: "Who did Xuande fall in love with?" ”
"Captain Huang Zhong and Wei Yan!"
Staring at Liu Bei deeply, Liu Biao said lightly: "Lonely!" ”
After staying in Xiangyang for a day, Liu Bei led the army north to join the summer event.
