[328] The generous Ma Xiaoquan
Summary of the previous chapter: Sun Quan wanted to resist Cao, but Zhang Zhao and others were dissuading, Ma Xiaoquanjian yì Sun Quan summoned Zhou Yu, and after Sun Quan did so, his determination to resist Cao was immediately affirmed by Zhou Yu
+++++++++++++++ Sun Quan's side has made a move, Liu Bei's side naturally can't lag behind, after all, this Sun-Liu alliance to resist Cao is not empty slogans and nothing, at this time, if anyone is lazy, Cao Cao's army will definitely be invincible.
Sun Quan allocated 30,000 elite soldiers to Zhou Yu and ordered him to reorganize the elite soldiers to prepare for the resistance against Cao, and in Fankou, Liu Bei received a quick letter from Zhuge Liang and learned that Sun Quan had ordered Zhou Yu to reorganize his troops and horses, so he immediately sent an envoy to comfort him.
There are two meanings of consolation, one is to make an appearance for Sun Quan, which means General Sun, you see, I, Liu Bei, am not the kind of person who does not do anything, and the other purpose, even Ma Xiaoquan can't guess.
Sun Quan handed over full authority to Zhou Yu and appointed Zhou Yu as the governor of the army.
This is not a small position as the governor of the capital, almost except for Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu is the largest.
Without the chatter of Zhang Zhao and other Cao factions, Zhou Yu's rectification process was very smooth, at this time, it was already November, although Jiangdong was not as cold as the north, but the unique cold and damp even the soldiers in the south couldn't stand it.
Seeing Liu Bei's envoy, Zhou Yu also expressed his sincerity on behalf of Sun Quan, but "because he was too busy", Zhou Yu said that he could not meet Liu Bei for the time being, and if Liu Bei was in a hurry, he could come to Jiangdong for a gathering.
Liu Bei is a real person, and as soon as he received Zhou Yu's invitation, he immediately set off for Jiangdong.
Arriving in Jiangdong, Liu Bei first met Zhuge Liang, and then met with Ma Xiaoquan.
Liu Bei asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Lord Shangxian, you have been in Jiangdong for these days, do you feel that we are sure of winning, oh no, it should be said, have you ever calculated that we are sure of winning?" β
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Xuande, you know too much. β
Liu Bei was overjoyed: "According to what Lord Shangxian said, then our coalition will definitely win?" β
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "I didn't say it, you said it yourself!" β
Liu Bei didn't care about Ma Xiaoquan's prevarication, anyway, Lord Shangxian was here, he must have helped him, and Liu Bei was full of passion for this.
In the evening, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu met.
Zhuge Liang stood behind Liu Bei, and Ma Xiaoquan was arranged next to Zhou Yu because he was a guest.
Liu Bei asked Zhou Yu: "Governor Dadu, may I ask how many people are in your main force to resist Cao?" β
Zhou Yu didn't hide his selfishness, nodded and said, "Thirty thousand!" β
"Thirty thousand?" Liu Bei frowned, looked at Zhuge Liang, and then at Zhou Yu, "It's too little!" β
Zhou Yu heard Liu Bei so discouraged, but he was also light, he said slowly: "Don't say that Cao Cao has 800,000, that is, a million male soldiers, as long as he steps into the Yangtze River, I will call him 8,000 soldiers!" β
Liu Bei smashed it and asked, "Then what does the governor think should be done?" β
Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Wolong is a famous celebrity in Jingzhou, and now he has joined General Liu's command, presumably he must have an idea, as for this idea, General Liu will ask himself, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany him much!" β
Liu Bei was stunned.
Zhou Yu really doesn't give face, how can you say that he is also an imperial uncle, hey!
"Mmmm~" Ma Xiaoquan hummed twice and looked at Liu Bei, meaning Xuande, you can't have a small belly and chicken intestines, you have to be atmospheric.
Liu Bei understood what Ma Xiaoquan meant, and immediately reacted, and said, "If the governor doesn't have time, is Zijing here?" β
"Not here!" Zhou Yu replied very simply.
Liu Bei shook his head, but he became happy, he bowed respectfully to Zhou Yu and said, "Jiangdong, my coalition army has a metropolitan governor, I think Cao Cao will really be defeated!" Ha ha! β
Everyone likes to listen to compliments, Zhou Yu was not interested in Liu Bei, Liu Bei came to look for him, and he also arranged to see him in the evening. Originally, Zhou Yu's idea was to humiliate Liu Bei well, so that Liu Bei would return disappointed, and also let Liu Bei understand that the main force to resist Cao Cao was his Eastern Wu, not him, a defeated general who was always under Cao Cao.
But just now Ma Xiaoquan said so twice, Liu Bei seemed to have changed as if he had changed.
Liu Bei clearly understands that to become a hero, in addition to being enlightened, he must also be able to bend and stretch.
Lord Shangxian's two well-mmm
Feeling that his indifference did not intensify Liu Bei, Zhou Yu stopped insisting.
"If General Liu wants to see Zijing, go to the Second Coalition Army to find him." The tone of Zhou Yu's words was much lighter than the previous sentences, and Liu Bei could naturally hear Zhou Yu's change in attitude.
"Hehe, thank you so much!"
After saying that, Liu Bei bowed to Zhou Yu again, and then led Zhuge Liang out of the camp.
Looking at the backs of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's accounts, Zhou Yu said: "I seem to despise Liu Bei a little? β
Zhou Yu's tone didn't look like he was talking to himself, but he didn't talk to Ma Xiaoquan clearly, but Ma Xiaoquan still answered: "With this person's talent, does Gongjin have ideas?" β
Zhou Yu glanced at Ma Xiaoquan and secretly made a decision in his heart
In Jiangling, the envoy came back to report to Cao Cao about the situation in Eastern Wu, and Cao Cao was also surprised when he heard it.
"So, where is the demon Dao in Sun Quan'er?"
"Back to the Prime Minister, yes!"
"Humph! This demon way, with nothing to do all day long, knows how to run around! β
Cheng Yu said worriedly: "Lord, is Lord Shangxian helping Liu Bei and Sun Quan?" β
Cao Cao was a little worried: "There is this possibility, but I have 200,000 male soldiers, 800,000, and dealing with Sun Liu's 50,000 or 60,000 people, scared him to death!" β
Cheng Yu was still a little worried, and said: "Lord, but most of our soldiers are northerners, and we are not good at water warfare." β
Cheng Yu's words reached Cao Cao's heart.
In terms of the number of troops, Cao Cao does have a great advantage, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, most of the soldiers under Cao Cao's command are northerners.
Most of the northern ** can't swim, and they are too adaptable to the climate in the south, and the disaster is not a single line, and recently there has been a disease, and the soldiers vomit and diarrhea, which makes Cao Cao anxious.
At this time, the messenger took out another silk letter and presented it to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao immediately laughed after unfolding it.
"Zhongde, come and see this!" As he spoke, Cao Cao handed the silk letter to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu took the silk letter and looked at it, blinked his eyes and said, "This is the handwriting of Lord Shangxian?" How about him? β
Cao Cao smiled: "This demon path is really interesting, but we really need it!" Zhongde, pass my order to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and let them train faster! β
"Yes!"
Looking at Cao Cao's complacent expression, Cheng Yu lowered his head and glanced at the contents of the silk letter in his hand.
There are only two words on the silk letter - caution
"Ah sneeze~~" Ma Xiaoquan stood by the river, rubbed his nose, and complained: "This southern winter is really fucking difficult." β
On the side, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord Shangxian, pay attention to your body!" β
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head: "Kong Ming doesn't have to worry, this immortal won't get sick!" β
Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "If only I had the strong physique of the Immortal Lord, hehe!" β
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Kong Ming, what do you think you should do if you want Cao Cao to lose?" β
Zhuge Liang said: "Fire attack!" β
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
"But," Zhuge Liang said again, "this fire attack still has to be done by the Metropolitan Governor." Our troops are still there for other purposes. β
Ma Xiaoquan asked quietly: "Kong Ming has already started planning the four counties of Wuling, Guiyang, Lingling, and Changsha?" β
Zhuge Liang stared at Ma Xiaoquan and glanced at him, the meaning was self-evident.
Ma Xiaoquan comforted: "Kong Ming, rest assured, this is what you deserve, hehe~"
Zhuge Liang shook his head: "I can't hide anything from the Immortal Lord, hehe." β
Ma Xiaoquan said: "But, Kong Ming, you think so, haven't you thought about Zhou Yu if she will think like this?" β
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Of course I have thought about it in Xia, Zhou Gongjin Wen Taowu is all of the highest quality, how could I not think of it, it is good that Lord Shangxian did not mention it, and now that it is proposed, I am really a little worried about it, this matter, I have secretly discussed it with the lord in Xia, and I have not found a better solution yet, I don't know if Lord Shangxian has a good JianyΓ¬?" β
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said in his heart: KAO, I also said it by looking at historical materials, what do you think I can really come up with?
Thinking so in my heart, my head shook, but the words that came out became: wait and see.
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
At this time, Zhou Yu walked over, saw Zhuge Liang laughing, and asked, "Master Hou, Kong Ming, why are you two laughing?" β
Ma Xiaoquan asked Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, what do you think is the best plan to take to deal with Cao Cao's army?" β
Zhou Yu thought for a moment: "Fire attack!" β
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and nodded: "Kong Ming also thought of it with you, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to let Cao Cao fall under your fire attack." β
Zhou Yu asked Ma Xiaoquan rhetorically: "What good construction does Master Hou have?" β
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Uh-uh~~ Well, uh-huh, uh-huh"
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's hesitation, Zhou Yu immediately understood what Ma Xiaoquan meant.
"Lord Shangxian, please say, I, Zhou Gongjin, will never treat you badly!"
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and said, "Why don't you give me some money?" β
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment: "How much does Lord Shangxian need?" β
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out five fingers.
Zhou Yu immediately agreed, and then turned to leave.
After Zhou Yu left, Zhuge Liang asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Lord Shangxian, what is the number you said?" β
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I haven't said it yet, he left, who knows how much, well, Kong Ming, this money, just give it to your lord Liu Bei, presumably after the Chibi War, Liu Bei should also have a little base, although the money can be accumulated, but it is very useful in the development of the forefront!" β
