CHAPTER 148 JOY AND SORROW

Liu Bei ordered to set up a wine to celebrate, and after three rounds of drinking, he happily said to Ge Liang, who was sitting beside him: "This time I easily won Hanzhong, the sergeant was not damaged, and the grain and grass equipment were saved a lot." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Now Yide and Meng Qi are facing off against Xiahou Yuan in Wudu, I want to take this opportunity to march the army and take Wudu Yinping, I don't know what the military advisor wants? ”

"This ......" Ge Liang was too unexpected, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord, didn't you say that Cao Cao was going to personally lead a large army to fight for Hanzhong?" ”

Liu Bei is now happy in his heart: "Then Cao Cao must have wanted to wait for us and Zhang Lu to lose both, and then come to help Zhang Lu in the name of the imperial court, take the opportunity to take Hanzhong, and get land and consume our strength, so the action is slow, I heard that along the way, it has been constantly resisted by the people of Qiang, Di and other tribes in various places, and now it is still on the old road of Chencang, and it is still far from Wudu." It's just that he didn't expect us to take Hanzhong so easily, I don't know if he will come back after getting the news? It makes me happy to think about it. ”

Ge Liang wanted to pour some cold water on him: "But my lord, this surprise attack to capture Hanzhong is really blessed by God, and it is extremely lucky." Zhang Lu's territory is small, his strength is too weak, and he was defeated in one blow, but Cao Cao is strong and has strong troops, and we have even went to Yizhou and Hanzhong this year, and the soldiers are tired, so it is better to let General Zhang and them retreat first to temporarily avoid the edge of Cao's army. After speaking, he winked at Fa Zheng, who was sitting on Liu Bei's left, hoping that he would help him persuade him quickly.

Fa Zheng shook his head and said that now is not the time to persuade, so let the lord be happy for a while.

Liu Bei saw Ge Liang's small movements, and then looked at the right view, and then said to Ge Liang: "Don't be here with Xiaozhi, I have seen it." Strategist, I'm just happy for a while, just have fun, don't take it too seriously, I still know Cao Cao's strength. You are right, we have been fighting for the past two years, the sergeants should rest, Yizhou and Hanzhong Xinding, both need time to consolidate internal affairs, develop production and stabilize the people's hearts. As long as Cao Cao retreats, we will go back to Chengdu. ”

Ge Liang hurriedly replied: "The lord is wise, I am too talkative. ”

Liu Bei said again: "Now that Yide and Ma Mengqi have successfully restrained Xiahou Yuan's men and horses in Wudu, since Cao Cao's army is here, we will temporarily shrink the defensive line and send someone to call them back tomorrow." ”

"Lord, we are willing to make persistent efforts, and we will go to Wudu County tomorrow to respond." Ge Liang hurriedly answered, he wanted to know how Zhang Fei fought against Xiahou Yuan earlier, although his wife Xiahou was only the niece of Xiahou Miaocai, and people raised her more than their own flesh and blood, it was not too much to say that it was Zhang Fei's father-in-law.

"How can it be done, what the military advisor just said, the sergeants are fighting continuously, and they should pay attention to resting. I'm never going to let you work so hard again. You've stayed here and been separated for so long, and I still want to ask the military advisor for advice. ”

Alas, why not agree? Ge Liang saw that Wei Yan was looking at this end, frowned, and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, this operation mainly relies on a group of mountain combat warriors who are adapted to climbing and crossing that Wei Yan took the lead in training. ”

Liu Bei thought about it, too, thinking that this area is all mountainous, since he Wei Yan has this specialty, it is better to simply let him be more familiar with this area, so he nodded and agreed to Ge Liang's suggestion.

Everyone continued to drink and celebrate, and at this time they received news from Jingzhou, saying that Jiangdong Lu Meng attacked Baqiu, and in just a few days, he was beaten by Liu Pan, the Taishou, and most of the soldiers were lost, and they abandoned the city and fled.

Liu Bei didn't care that he had also won the battle over there, but he immediately became angry, knocked the wine glass on the table, gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Sun Quan Xiao'er, you dare to sneak attack my Jingzhou!" They keep saying that they are allies, but they do such treacherous deeds behind their backs! ”

All the soldiers were drinking happily, and when they saw Liu Bei receiving the letter, their faces suddenly changed and they were angry, and they all didn't know what was going on, so they quickly put down the wine glass in their hands, and stood up with fear on their faces.

Ge Liang and Fa Zheng hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, don't you win the battle and drive them back?" ”

Liu Bei saw that the soldiers were at a loss, realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly turned into a smile, and said to everyone: "Tell you a good news, we not only quickly took Hanzhong, but also fought a big victory in Jingzhou, annihilating 6,000 enemies, which is really joyful and worth celebrating." Come, let's have three more toasts together! ”

Everyone turned from surprise to joy, congratulated Liu Bei again, and inquired about what the war was.

After Liu Bei finished three cups, he briefly introduced the letter to everyone.

After everyone calmed down, Ge Liang said to Liu Bei again: "My lord, the Jiangdong forces have coveted Jingzhou for a long time, and although they are allies, they have a tendency to not give up if they do not occupy Jingzhou. Now that we have obtained Yizhou and Hanzhong, and our strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, Sun Quan must be jealous, so he will take advantage of our army to attack Hanzhong and attack Baqiu, in a vain attempt to choke the waterways of several counties south of the Yangtze River and the southern counties. But this time they were beaten, I think they shouldn't dare to fight Jingzhou for the time being. ”

Liu Bei remembered the past, and suddenly felt that there were some doubts in it, and he must be solved by Ge Liang: "Military Division, I remember that you presided over the construction of Baqiu New Town. At that time, I also wondered why we should build a granary at the front of the handover with the Jiangdong forces. It's unreasonable. Doesn't this make Koto look greedy? It's easy to arouse their bad water. However, since it is a granary and military is secondary, why did they defeat the enemy so quickly and let them lose so badly? ”

Ge Liang leaned close to Liu Bei, and said softly proudly: "I just expected that they would make up their minds, so ah, the city itself is a big trap, the city is full of underground passages, there are twists and turns, there are many mechanisms, and even the warehouses, military camps and houses on the ground are deliberately built like a labyrinth, and alleys are connected everywhere, and as soon as the enemy comes in, they can't figure out the situation inside in a short time, and they can't exercise effective control." ”

Liu Bei suddenly realized: "It turns out that the military advisor has already calculated everything. ”

Ge Liang continued to explain: "I asked Liu Pan to train some warriors who are good at underground attack and defense, and also deliberately built the city wall low, and then asked Liu Pan to take the initiative to withdraw when the enemy attacked, while those warriors stayed in the underground passage to harass the enemy army every day, making their army unstable, and then they were easily defeated by joining forces inside and outside. ”

The more Liu Bei listened, the happier he became, and he forcibly suppressed his voice and said to Ge Liang: "Military advisor, you are deliberately luring others to commit crimes." ”

"Hey, hey, hey," Ge Liang was also a little fluttering, "This is called no fight, no deal." Even if you are an ally, you must first let him know the fate of betrayal, so that the alliance relationship will be more stable. ”

"Still." Ge Liang became serious again in a blink of an eye, "I'm afraid that Jiangdong won't give up, and if there is a good opportunity in the future, they will still make a move, because they also understand that once the lord and you dominate the Han family, they will also surrender and become vassals." ”

Liu Bei was silent for a long time before he said: "Military advisor, when you were in Longzhong, you once told Liu Bei that you wanted Dong and Sun Quan, why are you so wary of them now?" ”

Ge Liangzhi complained bitterly, lord, don't you know that I am an impostor, I said that at the beginning, but I didn't know what to do for a while, and I used history as a stepping stone?

Liu Bei didn't wait for Ge Liang to answer, and said worriedly: "The military advisor also mentioned to me that I should be wary of Jiangdong at the beginning, but I didn't pay much attention to it, and now it seems that I have to be more vigilant over there." (To be continued.) )
