Chapter 82 People from Shuzhong
"Bang~"
Xingyang, Taishou Mansion, Xiahoudun listened to the news brought back by the scout who went to Songshan to investigate the whereabouts of the missing tiger guard, and couldn't suppress his anger, regardless of Cao Cao being by his side, he suddenly slapped his palm on the table and shouted: "What a big-eared thief who is hypocritical and hypocritical!" ”
"Yuan Rang!" Cao Cao waved his hand, signaled the scout to retreat, glared at Xiahoudun dissatisfiedly, shook his head and said: "This matter, when it is not Liu Bei's doing, doing so can only destroy the relationship between the two families, there is no need for him to do this." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"If it weren't for him, why couldn't even the body of the Jingzhou army be found on Songshan Mountain? Even the most elite 100 soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion were wiped out, I don't believe that his Jingzhou army is so powerful! Xiahoudun snorted coldly.
Cao Cao's side, Zhong Xuan shook his head and said: "It is not excluded that someone deliberately took away Liu Beijun's body in order to provoke disputes between the two families, the lord is right, Liu Bei has no need and should not do this at the moment, even if he gets the Wang Yin, he does not dare to be the king, and the Wang Yin has become a crime for him." ”
"Who else can ...... besides him" Halfway through speaking, Xiahoudun suddenly reacted and looked at Cao Cao with an ugly face.
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and nodded, the news from the scene was obviously not a large-scale mobilization, and in this world, those who have the ability to slaughter a hundred tiger guards plus four hundred Cao Liu coalition troops by relying on a small group of men and horses unknowingly, I am afraid that only Lu Bu's subordinates can appear such elites.
Xiahoudun sat down sullenly, for a long time, and sighed lightly, now he prefers that Liu Bei did it, if it was Liu Bei, he could still send someone over to scold him with confidence, but it was replaced by Lu Bu......
Luoyang is obviously not a reasonable place for the princes of Kwantung, even if Lu Bu is crowned king immediately, whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei or Jiangdong Sun Quan, they can only stare dryly, just now the alliance has basically become a joke, with the current relationship between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the possibility of another alliance is obviously not high, even if Liu Bei and Sun Quan are willing, Jiangdong soldiers are probably more willing to avenge Zhou Yu at this moment.
As for Shuzhong, it is not easy for Lu Bu to enter Shu, but it is even more difficult for the people and horses in Shu to come out, just a few checkpoints in Hanzhong, Lu Bu does not even need to send additional troops and horses, it is enough to block Liu Zhang in Hanzhong.
"Send someone to send a letter to catch up with Liu Bei's army and inform him of this!" Cao Cao sighed, it can be regarded as letting Liu Bei have a psychological preparation, as for the rest, Cao Cao is now difficult to protect himself, and he can't take care of it, this time he cleaned up Lu Bu with the righteousness of the Son of Heaven and was beaten by Lu Bu but couldn't raise his head, in fact, from the moment Cao Cao turned from defense to attack, the weight of the righteousness of the princes in the hearts of the princes by the Son of Heaven was gone, for Cao Cao, the army's losses could be bearable, but the political defeat was the most fatal.
Since then, Liu Xie's disadvantages in his own hands have outweighed the benefits he brings, and he can't even get rid of it, if he can, Cao Cao really wants to throw this trouble to Lu Bu and let Lu Bu toss it himself, but obviously, if he really does that, it is equivalent to letting Lu Bu even occupy the righteousness.
The alliance of princes attacked Lü, with Liu Bei's withdrawal, Cao Cao began to consolidate the defensive line, ending in a way that ended without a problem, and the general trend of the world changed completely with Lü Bu's strong entry into Luoyang, just like the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no more righteous war!
At the same time, Zhuge Liang, who was far away in Xiangyang, also received the news that Liu Bei withdrew his troops back to Jingzhou, and he was completely relieved.
He was really afraid that Liu Bei would hold on, and if Jiangdong was eyeing him, he might have to miss the best time to enter Shu, but fortunately, in this matter, Liu Bei finally chose to listen to his opinion, and did not continue to fight with Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang saw very clearly, this battle was actually a defeat of the coalition army, according to the news from the front, although Lu Bu also lost a lot, but the losses were basically the soldiers of the Western Regions, the most elite shooting battalion and Gao Shun's trap camp did not appear again after the victory in the first battle, Even if Lu Bu is not in the camp, there are five elites, at least for now, before the equipment of the Kwantung soldiers is not strengthened, it is basically the rhythm of being beaten by Lu Bu.
Especially after the coalition army has consumed a lot of elites, if Lu Bu's five elites are dispatched at this moment, I am afraid that whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they will be greatly injured, and they can only wait for death.
"In the season, have you ever prepared enough grain and grass?" In the Assassin's Mansion, Zhuge Liang was dealing with the copywriting, and at the same time he was distracted and asked Ma Liang.
"The grain and grass and the soldiers have been prepared, just wait for the lord to lead the army back, and then you can go to the battle, General Yide has been busy for the past two days." Ma Liang said with a smile, knowing that Zhuge Liang was going to send troops, if you want to say that the most excited person in Jingzhou is probably Zhang Fei.
"Hehe~" Zhuge Liang shook his head, he was quite speechless about Zhang Fei's character, but this time he went to Bashu, he couldn't do without Zhang Fei.
"In fact, we could have used ships to transport grain, but if we use a fleet to transport grain and go up the river, our army's logistical supply will be at least until it reaches Jiangzhou, and it will be worry-free." Ma Liang sighed and said with a wry smile.
"There is no way, if the fleet travels at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the Jiangdong Navy will not wait for the opportunity to move, and now our army's grain and grass can not withstand the toss." When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, as soon as Zhou Yu died, the Jiangdong Navy of the Chaisang camp has been looking for trouble recently, although there is no big battle, but the boats of Jiangxia and Jiangling, not to mention the official warships, are the ships of ordinary people who may be attacked or plundered as long as they get a little closer.
Although Zhuge Liang thinks that with Sun Quan's suppression, it is unlikely that the other party will come to rob his grain team, but as Zhuge Liang said, before this year's autumn harvest, he can't afford to lose, and with Zhuge Liang's character, even if there is a little risk, he will subconsciously choose to avoid it.
"By the way, has there been any news from Jiangdong recently?" Zhuge Liang thought about it and looked up at Ma Liang.
"Sun Quan personally went to Chaisang, welcomed Zhou Yu's bones back to Lujiang for burial, and heard that the soldiers of the entire Chaisang camp went, and the new governor Lu Meng was severely punished by Sun Quan." Maleonn Road.
"Well, I remember this, Shu Zhi also asked if he would take the opportunity to attack Chaisang." Zhuge Liang nodded when he heard this, and there was some helplessness in his words, if the timing or situation is changed, it is indeed a good opportunity to enter Jiangdong, at least occupy Jiangxia and Chaisang, which is equivalent to holding the gateway of Jiangdong in his hands, Jiangdong Navy is powerful, but they can completely avoid the weakness of the Navy Army, and Chaisang will enter Jiangdong by land, but unfortunately the current situation does not allow it, unless there is full certainty that Jiangdong can be cleaned up in a short period of time, otherwise, it will only make the relationship between the two sides that has fallen to the freezing point completely broken, There is no room for turnaround.
"The new governor is Lu Meng?" Zhuge Liang suddenly frowned.
"Yes, this person is the new governor of Jiangdong, and he has been Zhou Yu's deputy before, and he is quite trusted by Zhou Yu, and his prestige in the army is enough." Maleonn explained.
Who Lu Meng is, Zhuge Liang naturally knows, but he doesn't understand what Sun Quan's intention is in appointing Lu Meng as the new governor?
Zhuge Liang has a thorough understanding of the people around Zhou Yu, this Lu Meng is not only picked up by Zhou Yu, and his ability is not outstanding at first, but he has been with Zhou Yu for many years, but he has learned a lot of skills, if before, Lu Meng is not worried, then now, even if Lu Meng is not as good as Zhou Yu, it is enough to compare with any famous general in the world, of course, this is not what Zhuge Liang is really worried about.
What really worried Zhuge Liang was Sun Quan's intention to appoint Lü Meng.
You must know that Lu Meng is Zhou Yu's confidant, and Zhou Yu died in the hands of Zhuge Liang on the surface, even if there are many hidden secrets in it, but these can't be put on the table, and people in Jiangdong won't believe it.
And Zhou Yu's death, the one who hates Zhuge Liang the most or hates Jingzhou the most, I am afraid it is Lü Meng, although it is indeed a good choice for Jiangdong to take over the Chaisang camp by Lü Meng, because Lü Meng is indeed the best candidate in terms of qualifications and ability, and at the same time, it can also calm the hidden dangers brought about by Zhou Yu's death, but it is not without replaceable figures, such as Lu Su, Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to take charge of the Chaisang camp at this time, does it mean that Sun Quan intends to use troops against Jingzhou?
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help frowning, if this is the case, he has to make arrangements and try to avoid conflicts between the two sides.
"Second brother." At this moment, a dusty man came in outside the door, dressed as a common person, if it weren't for the somewhat intimidating gaze between his eyes, at first glance, he was no different from ordinary people, and when he saw Zhuge Liang, he bowed down.
"Why did the third brother come back?" Seeing this person, Zhuge Liang's expression moved, and he said in a deep voice: "But there is new news in Shu?" ”
The person who came was Zhuge Liang's third brother, Zhuge Jun, who did not go with him to seek refuge with Liu Bei, but went to travel in Shu and visit the masters.
"It's not new news, in fact, as early as more than half a year ago, Liu Zhang, the lord of Shu, suddenly began to promote the Juntian system, following Lu Bu's actions in Jizhou, and constantly seizing land from the hands of the family, and the means are more subordinate than Lu Bu, Lu Bu at least has a reason for things, and there is a law to follow, which benefits the people, but Liu Zhang is only for his own selfish interests, unfair, and the people can not get real benefits, so that the whole Chengdu is full of complaints, the family dares to be angry and dare not speak, to the recent past, Liu Zhang has become more and more mediocre, after the family took the initiative to reduce taxes, the people saw that the accusation was not profitable, No longer took the initiative to denounce, but Liu Zhang secretly bought some Diao Min's complaints, and the younger brother felt that something was going to happen in Shuzhong, so he rushed back to Jingzhou in the starry night and informed his brother of the matter. Zhuge Jun said in a deep voice.
Although Jingzhou also has spies in Shuzhong, it is obviously not enough, those spies pay more attention to the movements of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, as for the internal affairs of Shuzhong, they don't pay much attention to it, but Zhuge Jun, who is studying abroad, feels a little unusual, so he ends his trip ahead of schedule and rushes back to Jingzhou to inform Zhuge Liang of the matter.
"Not good!" Zhuge Liang frowned and pondered for a moment, and his face became ugly: "Send troops immediately!" Late is dangerous! ”
"Ji Chang, you go to summon Youchang, I have a letter for him to pass it on to the lord on my behalf." (To be continued.) )
