Chapter 68: The Great War against Zhou Yu (20)
PS: Mid-Autumn Festival! The autumn breeze wishes all the visitors a happy holiday.
Secondly, at the end of the month, you still have to ask for a ticket~~~ to make the autumn breeze more dynamic.
The sky is covered with a touch of fish belly white, the morning sun is rising, and it is a new day.
Tian Feng arched his hand: "Lord! Let's go and rest for a while, there are us in Chaisang City, and Sun Yi's children are not enough. ”
Liu Bei squinted his eyes, looked at the morning glow on the horizon, and yawned: "Yuan Hao!" With you, I'm relieved, thank you for your hard work. ”
For today's battle situation, Liu Bei is very relieved, due to the success of last night's harassment tactics, even if Sun Yi leads the army to fight, it is just an egg to hit the stone, and today's Liu Bei's army is very energetic.
Liu Bei turned to face Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao, let Kong Ming assist you, this person has the talent of the heavens and the earth, but he is a little young, and his personality is still not very mature, you are my humerus, and I still need to help him." ”
Tian Feng was stunned, paused, and nodded with a sigh: "Feng obeys." ”
In fact, since Kong Ming took refuge in Liu Bei, Tian Feng obviously felt that his role was getting smaller and smaller, Kong Ming was like a sharp sword that was beginning to emerge, whether it was entering Chaisang or guarding Chaisang, Kong Ming's figure was active everywhere, and his sense of presence was extremely strong, and to a certain extent, it even covered Tian Feng's light.
The old team who followed Liu Bei into Jingzhou together, when he learned that Liu Bei sent Tian Feng and Zhao Yun to garrison the water army camp, and he and Kong Ming guarded Chaisang to defend the enemy head-on, there were many people who even fought for Tian Feng.
But who can understand Liu Bei's intentions, Kong Ming's qualifications are too shallow, not enough to serve the public, such an important post in the naval barracks, if Kong Ming is stationed, it is likely that he will not even be able to command the troops, but Tian Feng is not, he has deep qualifications and a good reputation. It is enough to shock the elite soldiers under his command.
Although Tian Feng knew this very well in his heart, when Liu Bei said those words, he still felt a little comforted in his heart.
*********
When he woke up, Liu Bei was lying on the couch. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up.
I don't know if he slept very hard, or if there was no fight at all, but in his ears was calm.
"Someone!"
Liu Bei shouted.
Pushing the door in, three maids helped Liu Bei wash and tidy up.
Liu Bei asked intentionally or unintentionally: "What is the movement of Dongwu today?" ”
The maid didn't think twice. blurted out: "There seems to be no movement from the Dongwu thieves today. ”
After tidying up, the maid bowed and left the room upside down.
Liu Bei walked out of the inner house, a ray of sunshine sprinkled on his face, Liu Bei squinted his eyes, feeling this warmth, it seemed that he had never enjoyed it like this.
While enjoying the room, a voice came from the arch, attracting Liu Bei.
"This man is so ignorant."
"Hmmm! You deserve to starve! ”
"Barking like a dog, sooner or later he will be killed by the lord."
"Yes."
Two men dressed as housekeepers stepped out from behind the shadows of the trees. happened to meet Liu Bei standing in the corridor and staring at the two of them.
The two of them suddenly lowered their heads and bowed deeply: "Lord! ”
Liu Bei snorted and waved his hand to beckon, "What did you two just say?" ”
The two paused, and one of them spoke: "Hui Zhugong, it is the general of Eastern Wu captured by General Ma Zhong, and the first fierce general of Eastern Wu captured by General Zhao. ”
"Oh!" Liu Bei suddenly woke up, it turned out to be the two of them: "Go!" Take me to see it. ”
When Gan Ning and Tai Shici were arrested, Liu Bei was too busy, and the two of them had strong temperaments, so they put it aside for the time being. So much so that now they have forgotten the existence of the two. However, Liu Hui felt that the identities of these two people were relatively special, and they were imprisoned in the Caisang ordinary prison for fear that these two would use their prestige in the army to influence other prisoners, so he imprisoned these two people in the side hall of the back house of General Zuo's mansion, and one of them would not affect other prisoners; Second, it is convenient for Liu Bei to summon him in the future.
This is a firewood house. The environment was very harsh, and there were two guards standing at the door, each with a sharp blade.
"Lord!"
Liu Bei waved his hand: "How are they?" ”
The two of them looked helpless, not knowing what to say, but reached out and pushed the door open.
Tai Shici and Gan Ning were firmly tied to two wooden stakes like two zongzi, with sackcloth stuffed in their mouths. Staring at a pair of copper bell eyes, there was a whining and screaming, quite an enemy saw each other, and the tiger's body trembled violently, as if he wanted to break free from the shackles and kill the enemy in front of him.
Liu Bei glanced back at the guard, and the guard understood, stepped forward and ripped off the linen cloth from the two people's mouths.
"Big-eared thief! Lao Tzu killed you!! ”
Tai Shi Ci burst into a shout, the tiger's body trembled even more, and in the face of Liu Bei, who was close at hand and clearly visible, he had no ability to kill him at all, this feeling made Tai Shi Ci almost go crazy.
And Gan Ning is relatively calmer, which is beyond Liu Bei's expectations, but Liu Bei is not very clear, in fact, Gan Ning was in Bashu before becoming a Jinfan thief, but his career was not smooth.
Syllable!
The guard was unceremonious, and slapped Tai Shici in the face: "Be honest!" ”
Tai Shi Ci was furious, and spit on the guard: "Boy! If you have the ability to let go of the uncle, I will kill you! ”
The guards were even more unkind, and with a sharp sound, the sword was unsheathed and stood directly on Tai Shici's neck.
The momentum of fire and water is on the verge of breaking out.
Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to stop the guards and shouted, "Hugh is rude!" ”
The guards put away their swords and retreated, temporarily retreating behind Liu Bei.
Liu Bei smiled lightly: "Ziyi! Remember me? When Beihai rescued Kong Rong"
Liu Bei talked eloquently, alone in this memory, sometimes smiling, sometimes passionately, showing the scene at that time again.
Maybe it was this memory that resonated with Tai Shici, or Liu Bei's blandness, but this excited narration made Tai Shici's tense nerves relax, in short, Tai Shici finally calmed down at this time.
"Ziyi! I didn't expect you to have such a thing. Gan Ning on the side laughed.
Tai Shici did not respond, his eyes were full of sadness.
"Ziyi! Is your mother okay now? ”
This was a very ordinary greeting, but at this moment, tears gushed out from Tai Shici's eyes like a spring.
Tai Shi Ci pouted his head, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and waved his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of Tai Shi Ci's eyes, and beckoned the guards: "Quickly untie Ziyi." ”
The guards couldn't help but be stunned, Gan Ning was also stunned, and Tai Shici was even more stunned!
And Liu Bei seemed to be dissatisfied with the guard's stunnedness, and actually stepped forward to untie Tai Shi Ci in person, and at the moment when he untied the shackles, the guard didn't have time to be stunned, and hurriedly stopped between Tai Shi Ci and Liu Bei.
Pressing the sword with one hand, his face is hideous, and he is always ready, if Tai Shi Ci dares to make a move, he will definitely raise and fall with his sword.
Tai Shici's body was very stiff, although he was untied, he didn't have any strength in his body, and he knelt on the ground with a pop.
Liu Bei tore away the guards and shouted: "Ziyi is loyal and righteous, and he will not harm me, you two go and prepare some food." ”
Thinking of the conversation between the two men, Liu Bei suddenly realized that it was very likely that Tai Shi Ci did not enter a drip.
"But," the guard was a little embarrassed.
Liu Bei was furious and shouted, "Go quickly!" ”
Picked up Tai Shi Ci and gently leaned on the stake, Liu Bei also came over to loosen the tie to Gan Ning.
At this moment, there were only three people in the firewood room, Gan Ning, Tai Shici and Liu Bei, Gan Ning showed a cruel smile and stared at Liu Bei with a strange look: "Big-eared thief!" Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”
That look was full of killing intent, Liu Bei and Gan Ning looked at each other, without the slightest hesitation, and immediately turned around and squatted in front of Tai Shici, and dropped a sentence: "Xingba!" You are jealous and hateful, but you have clear grievances. I believe in you, that's why I let you go. ”
At this time, Tai Shi Ci seemed to be seriously ill after a long period of collapse, his breathing was very heavy and heavy, his eyes were dull, Rao was still reluctant to open his eyes, looked at Gan Ning, and shook his head.
No words are needed, this already speaks for itself.
After a while, the guards brought food, but the two guards became more than ten people, and the movement was a bit big.
"Ziyi! Come on, eat. ”
Liu Bei took the meal, handed it to Tai Shici, and took out a small part of it and handed it to Gan Ning.
The guards filled the entire firewood room to the brim, and each of them had a golden light in his eyes, glaring at the two of them.
"Go down! Wait outside the door. Liu Bei ordered.
"My lord! But "the guards were in a bit of a quandary.
"It's nothing, if Xingba really wants to take my life, you don't have a chance to make a move, go down and wait outside the door."
Liu Bei was very calm, and glanced at Gan Ning: "Xingba, you can eat too, I, Liu Bei, will not use those indiscriminate tricks." ”
The guards exited the firewood room, and Gan Ning shrugged his shoulders and began to gobble up.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Liu Bei's mouth: "That's right, come on, get some wine!" Fetch me the sake that Mizhu has delivered. ”
Don't look at Tai Shici and Gan Ning, who are not fat or thin, but the amount of food is really scary, and the guards took three meals to make the two of them full.
Gan Ning lay on the haystack in the firewood room: "Uncle Liu Huang, I won't take refuge in you." ”
Uncle Liu Huang!?
The title has changed.
Liu Bei laughed: "Hmm! I know. ”
Gan Ning turned over, stared at Liu Bei in a daze, and asked, "Then why didn't you kill me?" ”
Liu Bei paused and snorted: "My sword does not kill the loyal and righteous." ”
"Loyalty!?" Gan Ning smiled contemptuously, revealing a touch of sadness: "I rebelled against Liu Jingzhou and took refuge in Sun Quan, how can I call it loyalty." ”
Liu Bei stood up, stared at Gan Ning, and was silent for a long time: "If it weren't for the loyalty, why would Xingba call Liu Biao Liu Jingzhou?" That's enough. ”
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, but was immediately relieved. Yes, until now, he still does not have the slightest jealousy of Liu Biao in his heart, rebellion is just a personal grudge, and people can do anything in order to survive.
At this moment, a small official rushed into the firewood room and reported: "Lord! Good news, good news. ”
"What's going on!?"
"Sun Yi was defeated and fled in the direction of Xunyang."
Liu Bei was stunned: "Sun Yi is defeated!?" What's going on? (To be continued.) )
