Chapter 263: Deliberation
Looking at Xiaohuan's distant back, Meng Shuang turned around and closed the door, leaned his back against the door, looked at the empty room, and let out a long sigh in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Fengyun Novel Reading]
In the end, she still chose this Zhang Yingying, who she didn't know but had an inextricable relationship.
She does like Liu Chan, if she builds this liking on hurting others at the moment, she can't do it, even if she doesn't think she is a good man and a woman, but she still chooses to save the other party.
In her opinion, this may be fate, the kind of fate that she can't resist, or maybe it's a knot in her heart.
Crying and crying, her heart was also broken, Meng Shuang felt that God had punished her enough, she just wanted to live her life in the future and forget those things that could not be forgotten.
Slowly walked to the window, leaning alone on the cold window, looking at the sunset that had gradually deviated, Meng Shuang stood quietly like this, the sunset emitted a faint golden light caressing her face, everything seemed so quiet, but nothing about slimness.
At this time, in the Han army camp in front of Xiling City, Liu Chan was a little crazy, although he came to this world for a long time, whether it was Liu Bei's death, fighting for power with Zhuge or pacifying Nanzhong. He had never been as godless as he was now.
Standing in front of the big tent, watching groups of soldiers shuttling back and forth in the barracks, his heart gradually cooled.
Squinting his eyes and looking forward, there were still flags fluttering on Xiling City, and at this time he felt that those flags were so eyesore.
"Wang Ping!" shouted dullly, Liu Chan still looked coldly at Xiling City in front of him.
"My lord."
Wang Ping was like Liu Chan's shadow, and he stood behind him at some point.
Liu Chan didn't squint, and said coldly: "After dinner, I will call my father and Master Li Yan to come to my camp to discuss matters." ”
"Yes!"
Wang Ping knew that Liu Chan was in a bad mood after Zhang Yingying's disappearance, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and promised, and then hurriedly ran down.
......
Time is like an arrow, every year, let alone a dusk.
Liu Chan stood in front of the tent, and he didn't know when rows of torches had been lit in front of him, and rows of dense torches illuminated everything around, like day.
Only the deep sky shimmered with stars, flickering and dimming, telling the people below that it was late at night.
And at this time, two figures gradually came in front of them, and slowly approached Liu Chan's camp.
"See Your Majesty."
The two were Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, who came to discuss with Liu Chan after dinner.
Liu Chan put his hands behind his back and looked at the two people in front of him who saluted him, he was not polite, just waved his hand lightly, and said, "Let's talk about the two of them in the tent." After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the big tent.
Zhuge Liang and Li Yan glanced at each other, as if they had already guessed Liu Chan's purpose, nodded to each other, and followed Liu Chan towards the big tent.
As soon as I walked into the big tent, there was a sudden burst of warmth, after all, it was the season of late spring and early summer, and the weather was a little gloomy and uncertain in the past two days, and it was still a little cool at night, so there was a fire in the big tent.
The crackling dry wood in the center of the tent burned in the fire, and a wisp of spark jumped up, but the spark that left the fire soon turned into a wisp of green smoke and was extinguished in the big tent.
Liu Chan jumped over the fire and came to his desk, where a map of Jingzhou made of cowhide was placed.
In the dim light, the Jingzhou land made of cowhide is like an old man's face, and the lines outlined are like wrinkles on the face, dense and heart-wrenching.
Liu Chan was silent for a moment, and then his gaze gradually turned to the area of Xiling City. Looking at this place the size of a fingertip, now it is like a big stone, poking at my heart from time to time.
"Father, if we attack Xiling City, how long will it take?" After a pause, Liu Chan asked in a deep voice.
"It's easy to attack Xiling City, but it's hard to defend it." I don't know when Zhuge Liang and Li Yan have already walked behind Liu Chan, and the two of them also looked at the area of Xiling quietly.
Zhuge Liang stretched out his finger to the side as he spoke, and then his finger gradually paused, and then he spoke: "Although Xiling is the gateway of our Han Kingdom to Wu State, this place is a bit chicken, because there is Jiangling further east, and it can be said that the defenders of Jingzhou of Wu State are basically concentrated in Jiangling. ”
"Jiangling leads to Xiangyang and Fancheng to the north, and Changsha and other places of Wu to the east, and now Wu Guo is leading here, the north can be based on Cao Wei, and the west can block our Han army, this is really the throat place."
Zhuge Liang analyzed to Liu Chan word by word, he knew that it was almost inevitable that Wu and Han would go to war now, although he was a father and a minister of the elders of the two dynasties, but he could not disobey the royal order, he felt that this was the duty of a courtier.
Liu Chan listened quietly to Zhuge Liang's analysis, and then also focused on the direction of Jiangling on the map.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Chan said calmly: "Then can we directly capture Jiangling." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled wryly, not to mention that most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou of Wu State were concentrated there, and if there was really a stir between Han and Wu, the Wei army in Xiangyang in the north would definitely not be idle, if he was not mistaken, the garrison of Xiangyang of Wei State should be Sima Shi, the eldest son of the Sima family.
It is rumored that this person is brave and resourceful, and he should be careful to be careful.
Sighing softly, Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Jiangling is not something that our Han army can capture in a while and a half, and now only by capturing Xiling and then holding it can we contact the Pan clan of Jianye, and then join forces inside and outside, and firmly control this place in the hands of our Han Kingdom." ”
"Wait until Xiling City is solid, and then try to plan other matters. If Xiling City can't be held after it is taken, then the only way to retreat to Yong'an is to think about it in the long run. ”
Zhuge Liang didn't think about victory, he was worried about defeat first, but he just wanted to do a good job of protecting the family foundation that the Han Kingdom had gradually recovered in the past two years, and these were the foundation for them to reorganize the heroic style of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Chan's eyes gradually became a little dim, if it weren't for Zhang Yingying's disappearance, and the direction of escape was the place of Wu Guo, he could have stuck with Wu Guo at the foot of Wu Mountain, and then wait for Pan's side to act, and the inside and outside should be together.
However, Zhang Yingying has never heard any news so far, and the spies who went to Xiling City have not returned, which makes him even more worried about Zhang Yingying's comfort, and even has prepared for the worst.
"What does Lord Li Yan think?" In the quiet tent, Liu Chan then asked coldly.
Li Yan also lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "The minister's idea is the same as the prime minister's, first stabilize Xiling City, and then make another plan, if even Xiling City can't be stabilized, if you rush forward, you will only suffer from the enemy, after all, the emperor was ...... back then."
Li Yan said that the first emperor Liu Bei closed his mouth again, but sighed heavily, unwilling, regretful.
Back then, Liu Bei rushed forward and fell into Lu Xun's trap, and was burned by the other party for 800 miles, and he was unable to form an army, and now Liu Chan must not be allowed to take the old road again.
"Alas!"
Sighing heavily, Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Let's go down first, and prepare for Gongxi Ling City tomorrow." ”
Seeing that Liu Chan had made up his mind, the two glanced at each other, knowing that they could not be dissuaded, so they had to try their best to prepare, and then hugged their fists and slowly retreated out of the account.
Looking at the flickering fire and the burning dry wood, Liu Chan was silent and closed his eyes deeply.
"Yingying... Where the hell are you! From time to time, he remembered Zhang Yingying's squinting and smiling eyes, and he felt that it was just a dream.
