Chapter 131: The Winter Solstice
PS: Start the battle with Cao Cao tomorrow! It's just not enough brains
After a skirmish, Cao and Liu returned to calm.
The battle on the river is different from the land war, the river is boundless, the strength of the two sides is basically clear at a glance, there are not too many strategies to play, basically the most direct short-handed encounter, force confrontation.
Such a confrontation would simply not have been possible without the help of external forces!
Two months, that's enough!
As long as it is in the deep winter season, Cao Jun is not accustomed to the soil and water, and there is an epidemic, it will be the time for a real counteroffensive.
Liu Bei must always be ready, defeat Cao Cao with one blow, and completely defeat Cao Cao!
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
Liu Bei sat in front of the handsome case, holding a bald pen and waving a book.
The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, the success or failure is empty, and the green mountains are still there
At this time, Liu Bei was already accustomed to the writing habits of that era, and he also practiced a good hand of words in his rich time.
The bald pen was put aside, and the ink was dried out, Liu Bei picked up the poem, looked it up and down carefully, and couldn't put it down.
Kong Ming walked in from outside the tent, happened to see this scene, and bowed his hand: "Lord!" Xiangyang flying pigeon biography. ”
Liu Bei sighed, put the paper aside, took the flying pigeon handbook from Kong Ming's hand, and unfolded it to see it.
"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes"
Kong Ming first muttered in his mouth, followed by his hands unconsciously picked up the Zuo Bo paper on the case, repeatedly, slowly read aloud word by word, the more he read, the more he felt beautiful, the more he read, the more he liked it, and the more he couldn't put it down.
Liu Bei on the side didn't seem to notice Kong Ming's strangeness at all, but the tears in his eyes were swirling, and his hands were trembling. With a snap, the palm hit the handsome case, and the frightened Kong Ming was stunned.
"My lord! What happened? ”
Kong Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked lightly.
Liu Bei closed his eyes deeply, and tears finally couldn't help flowing: "Xiangyang is broken!" ”
Kong Ming also sighed. It's just that Xuan even naturally accepted this fact, and said softly: "Lord! This is also a way that can't be helped, and it is very good that Qi Gongzi can hold on to it until now. ”
Liu Bei sighed deeply: "I really don't know what happened to Mr. Kuai?" There are also Wenchang and Zhongye. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, with Yuan Zhi, presumably they should be fine."
"I hope so!"
Liu Bei sighed. Stand up and transfer into the account.
"My lord! The whole territory of Jingzhou already belongs to Cao Cao, as long as we defeat Cao Cao, it can be regarded as revenge for Qi Gongzi, don't be too sad, take care of your body. ”
Kong Ming persuaded.
"Hmmm! I understand, don't worry. ”
Liu Bei replied lightly: "I'm just remembering some of the past, and it's not in the way." ”
Kong Ming was still a little worried about Liu Bei, and deliberately changed the topic and said, "Lord! According to reliable information, silver buildings have been established in Luoyang, Xudu, Yecheng, Xiangyang and other places. Especially Xiangyang, under the promotion of Cai Mao, has attracted a large part of the funds, and the workers took the silver ticket to the silver building to withdraw the money, and all of them were cashed, so they believed in this silver ticket. ”
Liu Bei nodded silently: "In this way, we can be regarded as a great favor to Cao Thief!" ”
"In that respect, that's true." Kong Ming continued: "Cao Cao ordered Cao Pi, who was far away in Xudu, to deposit the coins into the Silver Building, and our people are responsible for using these coins to open more Silver Buildings, and I believe that the Silver Building will sweep the land of Kyushu in a short period of time." ”
Liu Bei slowly walked out of the shadow of sadness. With a wave of his hand, he put forward an opinion: "At this time, the silver building in Xiangyang is very important, and it is important to ensure that the silver building in Xiangyang has enough five baht to pay for the expenses of the workers, especially when waiting for a project node." There will definitely be some artisans who take their money home. Once the people can't withdraw the money, our silver building will be in danger! ”
Seeing that Liu Bei successfully turned to another topic, the corners of Kong Ming's mouth twitched slightly, a faint smile bloomed, and he said softly: "The lord can rest assured, this Liang has already passed the book to Yuan Zhi." He knows what matters! ”
"Yuan Zhi is calm, I am relieved of this." Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "It is still necessary to continue to absorb the capital of the people, especially the money of those landlords and tyrants and gentry. ”
"My lord! Gonghe also set up a silver building in Chaisang, relying on some meager capital, as well as the support of the scholars, Gonghe has solved part of the financial problem, at this time Chaisang is building drastically, I believe that after the lord goes back, it will be completely renewed. ”
"That's the best!" Liu Bei smiled lightly and continued: "After defeating Cao Cao in the coming year, we must take a thorough rest, settle the grain and grass, harvest the mountains in the south, and stabilize the rear." ”
"What the lord thinks about is that the more unstable the mountain, we will never be able to fight out."
Liu Bei put on a big coat and said softly: "Kong Ming, go out for a walk with me." ”
As soon as he came out of the big tent, a cold wind blew in his face, blowing Liu Bei had to squint his eyes and move forward.
Kong Ming silently followed behind Liu Bei and said softly: "Lord! It's coming, and it's going to be winter. ”
*******
Time flies, a snow suddenly falls, and winter has arrived.
There was a pot of charcoal fire in the big tent, Liu Bei was wearing a big hat, sitting on the head, and the next cadre was divided into two ends.
Tian Feng spoke first: "Lord! A letter from Jiangbei showed that many of the officers and men of Cao's army were sick and their combat strength was greatly damaged. Basically, only the men and horses of Jingzhou Cai Mao are left, with a total of 70,000 troops. ”
Kong Ming followed closely and said: "According to reliable information, the Cao Army's two Zhiyuan ships have been basically completed, and it is very likely that the Cao thieves will launch a general attack in the next half moon!" ”
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun on the other side, and Zhao Yun immediately hugged his fists and said, "Lord!" The two thousand water ghosts have already been trained and are ready to attack at any time. ”
Zhang Fei grinned, and also hugged his fists and said: "The arrows have been transported from Chaisang, and they are all loaded on the warship, which is definitely enough for this kid Cao Thief to drink a pot." ”
Lu Su, who was on the side, shook his head: "Lord! We are also ready, as long as the lord gives an order, we will immediately kill Ben Cao Ying and destroy the Cao thief! ”
Liu Bei couldn't stop nodding and applauding, now everything is really ready, and it is just a matter of training the Cao thief warship!
At this time, Cao Cao, with the same excitement, was looking at the Yangtze River from afar, and seemed to have seen the future victory. (To be continued.) )
