As Dong Li said, when Xichuan was lost, Chengdu was captured, and the news that Liu Wei retreated to the seven counties of Nanzhong came, Liu Biao immediately messed up!

Dong Li captured Xichuan?

From Liu Zhang's death to Dong Li's occupation of Xichuan, it lasted six months, a total of 184 days.

Liu Biao can even be sure that Liu Zhang was killed by someone sent by Dong Li. Although there is no evidence, Liu Biao is very clear.

The combat effectiveness of the army without difficulty? Let's stop talking about that kind of thing......

From the capture of Hanzhong in more than ten days that year, Liu Biao knew that the combat effectiveness of the Wudifficult Army was extremely terrifying. This time in Xichuan, it's just a confirmation. If you bring it up at this time, it's a bit too shocking. Let's talk about how to deal with this situation.

The New Year of Taiping was very dull for Liu Biao.

In addition to the bad news from Xichuan, Pang Degong of Lumen Mountain disappeared from under Liu Biao's nose unknowingly.

It's not just Pang Degong!

Pang Shanmin and his wife, and even Zhuge Jun's family in Wolongong, Nanyang, disappeared overnight.

Liu Biao was angry with the Pang family, this is a fact. But to say that he wants to clean up Pang Degong, he doesn't have that idea yet. After all, this Jingxiang family is intertwined, and Pang Degong and the Cai family of the Kuai family are both related by marriage, even if Liu Biao wants to clean up Pang Degong, he can't be ruthless.

He just wanted to use Pang Degong's family to talk to Dong Li.

It's good that I don't even have the capital to talk about it now...... So much so that Liu Biao's attitude towards Zhuge Liang also changed overnight.

At least, not so much attention anymore!

Nishikawa was taken away by Guanzhong. So who will be next? Could it be his Jingxiang? Will Dong Yan use the same means to deal with him?

Liu Biao was like a frightened bird, panicked.

"Princess, now that Xichuan has been taken by Guanzhong, what should we do?"

Wen Wu sat down, and they were silent one by one. How is it good? God knows how that might be! Is there any other way out than fighting?

Liu Ba got up and said: "Lord, Xichuan is broken, and the next target of Dong Thief will definitely be in Jingxiang." Wuling is the only way from Xichuan to Jingxiang. Although Zhou Xin is known as working for the lord, he has secretly colluded with Dong Thief. The capture of Wuling will close the gate of Xichuan's eastward advance. Now the lord can only make up his mind to eliminate Wuxi Man and control the four counties of Jingnan, so as to resist the invasion of Dong Thief's army. ”

Resort to arms...... No soldiers......

Wuling is a key. Previously, Liu Biao was able to let Shamoke and Zhou Xin go because Xichuan was there, cutting off the connection between Guanzhong and Wuling. No matter how powerful Wuxi Man is, it can't become a big climate. But what about now? The situation is different, and Shamoko has become a big problem.

However, as soon as he used troops against Wuling, it also meant tearing his face with Dong Li.

Dong Yan also found the best excuse and annexed Jingxiang.

Liu Biao was in a dilemma and couldn't make up his mind.

Pan Jun, who was engaged in Jingzhou governance, stood up and said: "Jingsheng Gong must not hesitate any longer. Now is the time of Jingxiang's life and death, and only a war can ensure Jingxiang's peace. Even if Jing Sheng Gong doesn't turn against Dong Thief, will Dong Thief let Jing Xiang go? In the coming day, once he pacified Xichuan, an edict came over, and ordered Jingsheng Gong to return to Chang'an, do you want to go? If you don't go, you will fight; Went to ......"

There is no need for Pan Jun to say the meaning of the extension.

Liu Biao is not a fool, of course he knows what the result will be.

If you don't go, you're fighting, if you go, you're dying...... Anyway, no matter what he does, he can always give Dong Li the truth, and he will become a dilemma.

Let's fight!

Maybe if you can defeat Dong Li, you can have more time to arrange.

Jingzhou Army Sima, Changshui Captain Liao Li also got up and arched his hand: "Lord, what Mr. Chengming said is extremely true, and now there is only a way out if you fight." ”

Chengming is Pan Jun's cousin.

Liao Li continued: "On the one hand, we must be prepared to confront Dong thieves, and on the other hand, we must also connect with the princes. You can send several people to Jiangdong, Xuzhou, Xuchang, and even Jizhou for help. The princes from all walks of life are connected together, even if Dong Thief is powerful, he will have a headache. ”

The officials in the hall praised them again and again.

Liu Biao gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

"According to the words of the prince, but......" he muttered, "the person who sends the princes is extremely important, and who is willing to share my worries with the princes?" ”

Liu Ba said with a smile: "Yalelang Du Bian, and Yuan Benchu are old acquaintances. And the lord also has a good relationship with Yuan Shao, and can be a messenger to lobby Yuan Shao; Guest Du Xi, the four generations are known for their literary talents, once lectured in Yingchuan, and many people under Cao Gong were taught by Du Gong, and they could be sent to Xuchang; Liu Bei has an alliance with the lord, and he can be tempted by small profits. Governing the Central Han and Gong Zhigong is a suitable candidate and can go to Xuzhou. ”

The three people mentioned by Liu Ba are all famous figures.

Liu Biao pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "These three people are also suitable...... However, Jiangdong Sun Ce, who can take on the big responsibility? ”

Another silence!

Liu Ba deliberately did not mention Sun Ce, not because he was unfathomable, but because Sun Ce was indeed a big trouble. I just fought with Sun Ce two years ago, if it wasn't for Shamoke's troops and Gan Ning's raid on Chaisang, I'm afraid the two sides would still be fighting each other. Therefore, it is a very difficult task to send an envoy to Jiangdong. Not to mention whether it can succeed or not, if you don't get it, it's very likely that even your life will be confessed there.

Who can go? Or rather, who would dare to go?

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting next to the courtyard, stood up at this time.

"If the princes agree, Liang is willing to go to Jiangdong and lobby Sun Bofu with his incorruptible tongue."

"You? May I? ”

Liu Biao was obviously not very relieved, looked at Zhuge Liang, and asked suspiciously.

Zhuge Liang smiled, and the folding fan gently tapped the palm of his hand, "It's okay, you can only know if you try it." Since there is no suitable candidate for the princes, why not let Liang give it a try? ”

Perhaps, I was too cold to Kong Ming two days ago!

What does his brother have to do with him if he is gone? Besides, Kong Ming has been doing his best since he took refuge in me.

Liu Biao sighed, looked at Zhuge Liang's gaze, and couldn't help but soften a lot.

"Since Kong Ming is willing to give it a try, I am very relieved. Then, according to your words, you will send an envoy to Jiangdong in three days. If it succeeds, it is a great achievement; What if it fails...... Hehe, it doesn't matter, it's still a big deal...... Well, then we've decided! ”

Perhaps wanting to show determination, Liu Biao waved his hand.

If this action is done vigorously, it will indeed have a good effect. But Liu Biao's movements were soft, showing his hesitation.

"Who wants to capture Wuling?"

"Uncle, the child is willing to lead the troops into battle!"

Liu Biao saw that it was his subordinate Liu Pan. For this slave, Liu Biao is quite fond of it. A good martial artist, extremely brave. and once studied in Shuijing Villa, Wen Taowu has a set. Twenty-six years old this year, it is a good age for a hot-blooded man.

Two years ago, he made a contribution to the capture of the flag in Jiangdong.

Now under Liu Biao, he is serving as a captain in Changsha, and he has Zhang Hu, a native of Guiyang, under his command, so that a tiger's head chiseled with a golden gun can take the rank of general in the chaotic army.

For Liu Pan's automatic invitation, Liu Biao was very happy.

So, he nodded and agreed to Liu Pan's request, appointed Liu Pan as the captain of Zhichong, led 50,000 soldiers and horses to Wuling, also known as Liu Ba as the military advisor, Zhang Hu Xing Daorong as the deputy general, and listened to the order with the army. Nanjun is too strict to guard Li Yan, responsible for heavy grain and grass, and it is extremely important to ensure the supply of grain and grass.

Ordered Pan Jun to be the Taishou of Changsha and Liu Du to be the Taishou of Guiyang, and attacked from Jingnan to assist Liu Pan in capturing Wuling.

As a result, the land of Jingxiang immediately became lively.

Countless envoys walked out of Xiangyang and asked for help from the princes of all sides. Three days later, Liu Pan led the troops to the battle, and the army marched towards Wuling.

Almost at the same time that Liu Pan sent troops, Wuling also got the news.

Zhou Xin immediately asked Shamoke, Hu Zhao, Zhang Ren, and Ganning to go to Wuling to discuss a strategy to break the enemy.

Fifteen years have passed since Dong Li and Zhou Xin met in Liyang. Zhou Xin is no longer the heroic man of the year, full of gorgeous hair.

Zhou Xin, who is only sixty years old, is not as healthy as he was back then.

He had six sons under his knees, all of whom had grown up to learn martial arts or literature. The fourth son, Zhou Qing, the fifth son, Zhou Ding, and the sixth son, Zhou Yang, are now studying in Chang'an No. 3 School. The eldest son Zhou Fang and the second son Zhou Yan are good at martial arts, and they can pick up guns and horses, which can rival more than a dozen strong men.

The third son, Zhou Qing, is a registered disciple of Hu Zhao and is proficient in the art of war.

At the same time, Zhou Xin's subordinates also have Changsha celebrities Huan Rank as a different driver, and Lingling Celebrity Lai Gong as a substitute, forming a set of their own team.

In addition, there is still Youyang Sima Zhoubin, who was ordered to rush to Wuling.

Everyone gathered together, and Zhou Xin said: "I have known you for many years, and everyone must know the details of this martial arts." Back then, Lord Qin was so angry that he vomited blood and died, and before he died, he asked me to assist King Liang Chitose. Just at the time...... I met King Liang at the end of the year, and now King Liang wants to calm the war and return the world to a bright future. One hundred and eighty-four days, Xichuan was captured.

Liu Jingsheng has the name of the Han family, but what he did was a big rebellion.

Now, this skin has been torn, and Liu Biao takes his son Liu Pan as the commander to conquer Wuling. Ladies and gentlemen, you can make a decision as soon as possible. ”

These words, naturally, are not aimed at Shamoke and others.

Zhou Xin is telling Huan Jie and Lai Gong that if you want to quit now, it's still too late. Let's get together and disperse, I will never force it.

Huan Jie laughed, "Da Ming Gong, this is a bad word." If you talk about Liang Wang Chitose, I knew it twenty years ago. At that time, I was Changsha Gongcao, and it happened that King Sha sent people to Changsha to ask Zhang Ji and Zhang Taishou, and there were some misunderstandings. Twenty years ago, Meiyuan was righteous, and Huan was also one of the witnesses. It's a pity that my father was still alive at that time, and he couldn't fight with King Liang Chitose, which is often regretted today! ”

Yes......

Zhou Xin was startled when he heard Huan Jie's mention of this matter for the first time.

Shamoke squinted his eyes and stared for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "I remembered what you said...... That night, my two brothers and I bowed to each other, as if it were you. Ma Zhongxing sent you to set up an incense case...... Well, well, there were two people at that time, Pang Degong and Shi Yuan. ”

Zhou Xin couldn't help laughing!

These words really shortened the distance between everyone.

Hu Zhao said: "A few days ago, King Chitose of Liang sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Xichuan Fang took it and it has not yet stabilized. Pang Tong has sent Huo Jun to lead 8,000 troubleless troops out of Sichuan to help, and Luo Meng, the general of Shuzhong, is the vanguard. However, the Shu Road is difficult to travel, even if the pioneers arrive, it should be in mid-March. ”

Zhou Xin nodded and said, "In this way, I will wait from now until March...... It's up to you! ”

"Exactly!"

Before Hu Zhao's words fell, he saw Gan Ning get up, "What are you afraid of?" Even if there are no reinforcements, how can Liu Pan stop me from waiting? Our Jinfan battalion can be attacked on the water, making it difficult for the Jingzhou army to sleep and eat. Although Cai Mao has a reputation, in Gan Ning's eyes, she is just a clown. ”

"Xingba, don't be in a hurry......"

Shamoko spoke: "The key to this battle is not in the water, but on land...... What does Shu Jun think? ”

Shu Jun is Zhang Ren's cousin.

Listening to Shamoke's inquiry, Zhang Ren thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Actually, in Ren's foolish opinion, Liu Pan is not worried, and Liu Ba has some means. As for Changsha Pan Jun, Guiyang Liu Du ...... Hehe, I think these two people won't come to trouble at all. ”

"Oh?"

"As for the officials of Jingxiang, I have studied them carefully after I arrived at Hutou Mountain. Hehe, the information given to me by the lord is very detailed, from Liu Biao to the county orders of all parties, all of which are recorded. Pan Jun is a bold and decisive person. But the lord's evaluation of him is that he knows the current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat. Now that Xichuan has been obtained by Chitose, Pan Jun will definitely be able to see the trend of this Jingxiang.

Therefore, he may bluff, but he will not run to make trouble...... Well, as long as Brother Zhou Bin guards Youyang and makes a scene with him, how about it? ”

Zhou Bin smiled, "What's so difficult about this?" ”

"Liu Du, as a timid and cowardly person, asked the third master to write a letter, and ordered Shanyue to send troops to Xini, saying that if he took Guiyang, the gold, silver, treasures, grain, grass and baggage were all his. Na Shini is a greedy man for money, and he will definitely take the bait. Besides, the third master was defeated by Dangyang, and Xi Ni Mengdan fluctuated. Just look at Meng Dan's willingness to accept Liu Wei this time, and even send troops to help, it is already clear what he thinks. ”

Shamoko snorted, "I swear to kill Meng Dan!" ”

Zhou Xin and the others looked at Zhang Ren with a very respectful gaze.

Zhang Ren is only thirty years old now, and at first glance, he looks like a white-faced scholar. When he first came, except for Shamoke and Hu Zhao, no one was convinced by him. But with Gan Ning's bravery, it also takes three hundred moves to win. When it comes to military training, Wuling is even more unmatched.

Now he is talking about the Tao, which is secretly admirable.

Huanjie Lai Gong glanced at each other, and said in his heart: Under the command of King Liang, it is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...... Send any person to do so. The world belongs to the King of Cool!

Zhou Xin asked: "According to Shujun, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Ren said slowly: "There are only two things I am worried about. One is Li Yan, who is too guarded by Nanjun, this person is extraordinary; The other is Jiangdong Sun Ce. If Liu Biao and Sun Ce join forces, Xingba will definitely encounter a great enemy on the waterway, and he must not be careful. Otherwise, I think Liang Wang Chitose has already made a decision, and Liu Biao wants to raise troops, I'm afraid it will also be a difficult thing.

As for Liu Pan and Liu Ba...... If they come, let them come, and they can't go! ”

I'm waiting for your words......

Zhou Xin felt that he was really old. If he was ten years younger in the past, how could he be worried about the child Liu Pan?

smiled at the moment: "Shu Jun, will the plan be released?" ”
