Chapter 25: Decapitation (1)

"Zilong! How's things going? ”

Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said, "Lord! A total of 500 water ghosts were recruited, and after two months of intensive training, 372 were eliminated, and the remaining 128 were left, all of whom could lurk underwater for more than half a month, and could eat fish and shrimp raw, and could fight underwater. ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Very good!" How about this one hundred and twenty-eight land battles? ”

Zhao Yun said confidently: "The lord can rest assured that all he practices is a killing move with a single sword." ”

"Yide!"

Zhang Fei stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Big brother! Although these 5,000 troops are not as good as the 700 elite horsemen, they are all real men, warriors who dare to fight, fight and kill. ”

"Cloud Chief!"

"Big brother, rest assured, the warship is ready, and it has been transported to the ferry, and it is ready to set off at any time!"

Liu Bei was taken aback, the matter of preparing the warship was extremely secret, and it could not be announced to the public no matter what was without his own order, but how could he have already pulled it to the ferry today?

Liu Bei glanced at Xu Shu and Kong Ming beside him, Kong Ming nodded even more, Liu Bei instantly understood, and asked, "Yuan Hao!" Is everything in place? ”

Tian Fengyi arched his hand: "Don't worry, the lord is in order." ”

"Good!" Liu Bei was overjoyed, a ripple appeared on his face, and he said, "Where is Yuanlong?" ”

Chen Deng stood up and arched his hand: "Lord." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, when you were in Xuzhou, you gave a map of Jiangdong?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.

The corners of Chen Deng's mouth rose, and a cruel smile bloomed: "Exactly." After that, he stretched out his hand and took out a cowhide map from his arms, and presented it to Liu Bei: "Lord, this map is." ”

Liu Bei unfolded the map, and the roads, rivers, bridges, villages, and mountains on it were clearly marked in every place, but the garrison force above could no longer be believed at this time, after all, this map had passed through time, but no matter what. His reference value is definitely number one.

As soon as this map was taken out of Chen Deng's hand, it immediately caused an uproar, and all eyes were focused on Chen Deng, especially that Zhang Fei. What admired Chen Deng at this time was even more five-body throwing, even a random official in the military tent knew how important a combat map was for an army.

Liu Bei said again: "Where is Zihui?" ”

Liu Hui flashed out: "Liu Hui is here." ”

Liu Bei asked with concern: "Zihui, a large part of these five thousand people were recruited by bandits, what is the difference among them?" ”

In fact, Liu Bei paid great attention to this aspect of political and ideological work. Because the cohesion of the army is crucial at all times and places, as long as an army can be united, the probability of winning more with less will be greatly improved.

Liu Hui frowned, was silent for a moment, and said, "Lord! There are rumors that the bandit leader is likely to collaborate with the enemy, but this person is active and brave in battle, and there is no substantial evidence below, so "

Liu Bei waved his hand: "Yide!" I'll leave this matter to you. Grab the sacrificial flag. ”

Zhang Fei hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I'll go." With that, he flicked his cloak and walked away from the tent.

In fact, Liu Bei had already begun to suspect that after all, the bandits were specially arranged by Cai Mao, no matter what the purpose was, with Cai Mao's temperament, it was impossible to just ignore it, at least he should try his best to assassinate the bandit leader is a person's normal mentality, and Cai Mao didn't take any measures at all, isn't he afraid that the bandit leader will leak out all the things they colluded with?

In light of this consideration. Liu Bei pondered and meditated, and finally came to a conclusion that the bandit leader had colluded with Cai Mao again, since he was hidden in his own army. Then it is very likely that the target will be himself, no matter how stupid Liu Bei is, it is impossible to leave a time bomb by his side. Besides, adhering to the principle that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, this person should definitely be killed!

Liu Hui was about to say something, but Liu Bei waved his hand to stop him. He asked, "Apart from this man, are there any other unstable factors in the army?" ”

Liu Hui said directly: "No." ”

For Liu Bei's decisive method, except for Liu Hui, the rest of the people did not object, and among the ministers next to Liu Bei, Kong Ming's eyes lit up and he was amazed.

Because in Kong Ming's heart, Liu Bei has always taken benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of his life, and he would never do something like today, but after doing such a thing, Kong Ming felt more at ease, because such a person can be regarded as a real king.

Liu Bei looked around at the civil and military circles, took a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "Now everything is ready, then we will kill Ben Jiangdong, this trip is very dangerous, compared to the trip to Jizhou, if there is a person who withdraws to stand up first, I Liu Bei specially approved him to guard here, how about it?" Anyone? ”

The eyes of the generals in the tent were very firm, and there was almost no hesitation, and they shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the lord, but the lord is the first to look forward." ”

Faced with such a reaction, Liu Bei nodded heavily: "It's all good, worthy of my Liu Bei's soldiers!" I, Liu Bei, would like to thank you in advance. ”

Anyway, stand up and slam to the ground, this kind of etiquette is shocking enough for Liu Bei's identity, and for the generals, Liu Bei does not have the crazy frame of being the lord, but he is the wise of the lord, what more can the winner ask for!

In the face of such a heavy gift, how can the generals in the tent bear it, they immediately knelt down together, and the mountain shouted and praised: "I will swear to follow the lord to the death!" ”

Immediately after Liu Bei, he began to order, saying, "Yuanlong listens to the order!" ”

Chen Deng was very excited, immediately stood up, and arched his hand: "Here!" ”

"You will return to Xiangyang immediately, in the name of the emperor's uncle, recruit Jingxiang celebrities, Jiangdong six counties and eighty-one counties, this kind of land must be defended by hundreds of officials, and I hope that Yuanlong will spend some effort to recruit more talents."

Chen Deng was a little embarrassed, at such a critical moment, he was put in the rear to recruit talents!? Originally, he thought that he could take the lead with the Jiangdong map, but now it is this treatment, and Chen Deng unconsciously felt some unhappiness in his heart.

"The Lord"

As soon as Chen Deng spoke, Liu Bei interrupted and said: "Jiangdong is so big, there will be a time when Yuanlong will show his talents, and now the more important thing is talent, Yuanlong is erudite and talented, and he is also proficient in the art of war, let you go, I can rest assured." ”

The sentence "Let you go, I can rest assured" is the greatest encouragement to Chen Deng. At this point, there is no need to say more, Chen Deng arched his hand, and immediately bowed: "Rest assured, the lord will live up to the high expectations." ”

At the right time. On the side, Xu Shu stood up and bowed: "Lord! He is willing to return to Xiangyang with Yuanlong. First, Cai Mao will inevitably take the initiative against the Duchess and Shao, and Gongyou alone is afraid that he is not Cai Mao's opponent; Second, he thinks he is rich and rich. He is also interested in recruiting talents; Third, my mother was alone in Xiangyang, and I couldn't bear it.

Besides, with Kong Ming here, he really can't help the lord in the future, so it is better to return to Xiangyang and do what he can. Therefore, I implore the lord to turn back to Xiangyang in the next place. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shu glanced at Zhuge Liang on the side, revealing a faint smile, and although Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others recognized Zhuge Liang's talent, the age gap and lack of experience were not enough for the two of them to affirm Zhuge Liang. But after hearing Xu Shu's high evaluation, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Liu Bei paused and said, "In this case, then I won't keep Yuan straight, and you will return to Xiangyang with Yuan Long and recruit talents." ”

Xu Shu arched his hand: "Thank you Lord for your success." With that, he stepped aside.

"Zilong!" Liu Bei ordered again.

Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said: "The end will be." ”

"Draw you a hundred and twenty-eight water ghosts, armed with short knives, and clothed in black, by the cover of night. Crossing the river to Chaisang tonight, remember that after going ashore, you must kill all the thieves on the beacon tower in the shortest possible time. Leave no one alive! And it must not be discovered by the thieves of Eastern Wu, otherwise once the fire is raised, this surprise attack on Chaisang will be wasted! ”

"This" Zhao Yun seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Liu Bei asked, "What?" But what's the difficulty? ”

Zhao Yun said directly: "Lord! It's okay to be equipped with a short knife, but the distance between the black clothes is less than an hour, and the black clothes are really powerless. ”

Liu Bei didn't speak, and Chen Zhi stood up on the side: "Zilong! Back in the time of Xiangyang. The lord asked the general to find a group of tailors to sew five hundred sets of night clothes, enough for you one hundred and twenty-eight people, rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun was immediately overjoyed, hugged his fists and said, "It's really good!" When I left the camp, he ordered someone to go to the artisan's camp and take away the night clothes. ”

Liu Bei said again: "Zilong! After taking out the beacon tower of the Dongwu thieves, you will lead all the water ghosts to rush to the camp of the Dongwu Navy in Chaisang, chisel all its warships, and use all means to make the entire Dongwu Navy a mess! ”

"The last will obey." Zhao Yun's face was full of excitement, and he said indifferently.

"Yun Chang, Yi De, Shu Zhi, Gao Feng."

"The end will be."

"You and others will lead the people of the headquarters, take a clipper to follow Zilong closely, once Zilong takes the beacon tower, you will immediately land on the shore."

"No!"

"Where is Ma Zhong?"

"The last general!"

"Select five hundred war horses, match them with horse harnesses, after Yun Chang and others go ashore, follow ashore, this time the soldiers enter Chaisang, war horses are the key, I have only one requirement, I must not lose a war horse!"

"The last general obeys!"

"After all the people have landed, we must complete the assembly and attack the city in the shortest possible time, and we must break through the city gate in the shortest possible time, Yun Chang and Yide, you two lead the cavalry straight into Chaisang City, and there is only one goal, that is, Sun Quan!"

Guan Yu hugged his fists and said: "Brother, don't worry, Sun Quan Xiao'er will be handed over to me." ”

Liu Bei sighed for a long time, and finally finished arranging the deployment, glanced back at Tian Feng and the others, and asked, "Yuan Hao, Gonghe, Kong Ming!" Do you have anything to add, just say it, otherwise once you set out, there will be no turning back. ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu looked at each other and shook their heads.

Liu Bei skipped Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, looked at Kong Ming behind him, and asked, "Kong Ming!" What about you? ”

Kong Ming stood up and shook the fan: "Lord! My brother was an official in Dongwu, and his subordinates had rushed to Chaisang to visit his brother, and he had an impression of the magnificent scene of Chaisang City, this time the lord raided Chaisang, expensive above a sudden word, but according to the understanding below, Chaisang is the place where the Dongwu exercises the navy, and there are about 20,000 permanent troops, and the more important point is that from Chaisang City to the water army camp, the cavalry only needs one moment to arrive, and the infantry army only needs three or five moments to arrive, if the lord is so strong, it is very likely that he will be attacked by the enemy. ”

As soon as these words came out, the big tent was shocked! (To be continued.) )
