No way, Jiang Ji is right, if he just became the emperor and set the capital Luoyang, he would be forced to move the capital and flee, then the world would definitely become Liu Bei's, and he would have no place to stay in the end.

Unlike Cao Pi, Liu Bei at this time was extremely excited, in addition to the big victory, he mobilized the people of the world to fight Cao Wei's edict, and the enthusiasm of the response almost exceeded everyone's expectations, not only Yuzhou and Xuzhou, which he had ruled before, but also his hometown Youzhou area, there were people secretly sending letters over, expressing their willingness to provide grain and grass materials to assist the Ji Han army to recover the Central Plains. I don't know how they got the news so quickly.

Even Ge Liang was deeply surprised, he had seen many people evaluate the emperors of previous dynasties, and they all said that Liu Bei was not good at fighting, but his personality charm was almost rare in ancient and modern times, and it was really not blown, according to the development of this situation, I am afraid that the operation of attacking Luoyang will be launched soon.

Alas, in fact, if you think about it carefully, even if Shu Han was ruled by useless Adou in history, there were still so many loyal and brave people who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and when Cao Wei was usurped by the Sima clan, there were not even many people who came out to say a word.

What's more, now that Liu Bei Group has won successes on its expeditions, I believe that people of insight should expect that there will be no accidents, the world will be Liu Bei's sooner or later, so why don't you hurry up and come out to seek a future?

All the officials congratulated Liu Bei in unison. Liu Bei also had to be humble: "This is all in the hearts of the soldiers, who fought bravely to kill the enemy." ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, and everyone expects it." ”

Liu Bei was so beautiful in his heart that he couldn't do it, but he hurriedly shifted the target in his mouth: "This is all obtained by the Great Sima and the Great General with their soldiers like gods, and they are powerful in the world." ”

Ge Liang had no choice but to hurriedly say: "This is all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings." ”

Guan Yu was too lazy to be polite: "Go to the soup for Your Majesty, and rest until you die!" ”

Everyone also hurriedly shouted: "Never give up!" ”

"Alas, don't say anything about what you can't die or not." Liu Bei was busy dissuading everyone and asking everyone to say more auspicious words, but with a bunch of letters and contact letters from all over the country, it seems that he has always insisted on treating people with leniency, which is quite effective.

Immediately, he felt again: "I was worried that I would go out of the division to Yuzhou and Yanzhou and other places, and the lone army would go deep for fear of accidents, but now it seems that Da Sima is right, go over there and actively contact the rebels in various places, and you can make a big difference." ”

What the? Want to send a partial army out? This is a great thing, leading an army alone, receiving surrenders and rebels everywhere, and after the deed is completed, he will generally become a member of the Duzhen side!

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army forward."

"Your Majesty, the lower officials are not talented, and I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty and go deep into the enemy's important places."

All the civil and military forces vied with each other to express their expressions and ask for their lives, and they made a commotion for a while, and they refused to give in to each other.

Not good! Liu Bei secretly stomped his feet, he has been cautious in his words and deeds all his life, why did he leak his mouth today, is he overjoyed? How can this work, Luoyang has not been taken down yet, and most of the world has not been pacified.

Alas, forget it, just say it, anyway, according to intelligence, the enemy has already gathered a lot of reinforcements around Luoyang, and this sortie should also set off in the next two days.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. I understand everyone's loyalty and courage, but the stakes are very high, and I am discussing with the great Sima and the great general, and tomorrow we will hold a banquet to determine the candidates. Liu Bei stood up, gently pressed his right hand down twice, and asked everyone to be quiet first.

The next day, Liu Bei really feasted the ministers. After three rounds of drinking, some generals were anxious to ask about the candidates for the generals.

Liu Bei first asked Zhang Wei to stand up and toast to him: "Since the general was recommended by the Great Sima, he has followed the Great Sima many times to perform miraculous feats, such as attacking Hanzhong, that is, you and Wei Wenchang, the current general of the Northern Expedition, followed the Great Sima together, climbed the mountains and crossed the dangers, decisively walked behind the enemy, took risks, took Nanzheng in one fell swoop, and made the first contribution to the capture of Hanzhong. ”

Zhang Wei hurriedly replied: "That's all commanded by Da Sima." ”

Ge Liang wanted to pull Zhang Fei in again: "He is the person recommended by the general of the Che Cai." ”

Liu Bei waved his hand, indicating that he knew the details, and continued to say to Zhang Wei: "When the general last time he went north to Fancheng, it was you who led the army to cut off the enemy's retreat, and personally killed several generals sent by Jiangdong to attack him, causing the enemy to suffer heavy losses, recapturing Xiakou, and never daring to covet Jingzhou again." ”

Zhang Wei didn't dare to be: "This, this is all commanded by Da Sima." ”

Ge Liang also followed Liu Bei's example, and secretly waved his hand at Zhang Wei, saying that you don't need to be polite, if you kill several enemy generals, you can already be promoted exceptionally.

Liu Bei continued: "This time the two northern expeditions, it is you and the general of Zhengbei who are in danger separately, one to capture Tongguan and the other to capture Wuguan. And your troops went out of the pass and attacked the enemy's rear, which played a great role in our army's occupation of Wancheng this time. Liu Bei finally concluded, "The general has established many miraculous achievements, and his contributions are indispensable, and you are now specially appointed as the general of Pingbei, and from now on, he will lead the army to detour to the north and intersperse with the enemy's rear." I hope that the general will do another miraculous feat. Liu Bei is waiting for your good news. ”

Liu Bei had long been optimistic about Zhang Wei, but he felt that Ge Liang was a little reluctant to let go, so he never took the initiative to bring it up.

Of course, there is another meaning, Liu Bei is impossible to say, that is, Zhang Wei is relatively ordinary, not short, but he must not be said to be tall; His face is not ugly, but he must not be said to be handsome.

In a word, put it in the crowd, and generally no one will pay attention to him. Zhang Wei does not belong to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are people who are impressed as soon as they meet.

However, this person is sensible, aware of cause and effect, and decisive.

Such a person usually hides a little bit, and when it is critical, it can have an unexpected effect.

Everyone was impressed by Zhang Wei's record, and no one was clamoring to fight with him at the moment.

Although this result has been discussed a long time ago, Ge Liang is still happy for Zhang Wei, at least, if he works with Wei Yan again in the future, Wei Yan wants to play tricks, and he can't use his official position to suppress Zhang Wei.

Of course, the more important thing is that the seizure of the world is in sight, and in the future, in addition to the generals who are good at fighting, they will need such people who can judge major affairs to come out and govern the party, and now it is time to fully reveal their talents.

After saying Zhang Wei, Liu Bei asked Ma Zhong to stand up again, raised a glass to him, and said: "If you are asked to lead the army east out of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, what do you think you should do?" ”

Ma Zhong was a little surprised, after all, he had never led the army alone before, but he immediately replied: "Your Majesty's benevolent name is popular in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, if I go, I should naturally learn from Your Majesty, do not show favoritism, and treat the people with leniency." However, now that they are going east, they are alone in the enemy's territory, and all the enemies are looking around, and they should not hesitate in case of trouble, and they should be clear and loyal and decisively deal with them. For those who sincerely greet each other, it is natural that they should be treated with courtesy, and assist them in guarding the army; For those who hesitate to wait and see, try not to bother; For those who are determined to defend Cao Wei, they should be wise and brave at the same time, and those who can be quickly relieved should attack quickly, and those who are temporarily unable to be lifted should be isolated. ”

"Moreover," Ma Zhong fully recognized the difficulty of going east, "that side is close to Jiangdong, and now that all parts of the country are responding to His Majesty's edict, Sun Quan's side may take advantage of the chaos to start an incident again." Jiangxia is strictly guarded by General Liu Pan, and the enemy may not have a chance to attack, but on the Xuzhou side, it will be a staggered situation of the enemy and me, and the situation is complicated, so we must not guard against it. ”

"That's a great point!" Liu Bei blurted out praise. Since Ma Zhong was recommended to his side by Ge Liang and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei found that this person had many similarities with himself, such as being generous, invisible, indiscriminate, and decisive, so he liked him very much, kept him by his side, and kept him constantly promoted.

Ge Liang proposed to let Ma Zhong lead the army to the east, Liu Bei felt that it was okay, Ma Zhong was both wise and brave, and let him work independently, which was just right to convince the public.

"Good! Distinguish between right and wrong, understand the priorities, and the candidates for the generals of the Eastern Crusade will be handed over to you! Liu Bei officially named Ma Zhong as General Anton, and led the troops east on the same day.

At once, the two people were promoted by leapfrogging, and all the officials and generals inevitably exclaimed a few words of exclamation from each other, and the buzzing sound was everywhere.

Of course, some people think it's not surprising, the last time they promoted Wei Yan in Hanzhong, they were already amazed and used to it.

Of course, it is not good to always skip the ranks, Liu Bei also has to give everyone more reasons to convince everyone, and immediately reminded Zhang Wei and Ma Zhong: "You guys are going to crisscross the enemy area for thousands of miles, but the capture of Luoyang is the top priority, and we originally had fewer troops than Cao Wei, so we can't give you too many men and horses, and each person can only send 5,000 for the time being." Do you find it difficult? ”

Wow! Everyone shouted in surprise again, such a big official can only bring 5,000 people? This is not much different from ordinary generals.

"I will do my best to repay Your Majesty's kindness!" Ma Zhong and Zhang Wei hurriedly expressed their attitude, knowing in their hearts that at such an important juncture, if tens of thousands of horses were dispatched to fight, it would not be their turn.

There are no more unconvinced people, such a small number of people, if you want to complete such a major task, it is still too difficult to weigh it yourself, so don't fight.

On the third day, Ma Zhong and Zhang Wei led the army to set off, and immediately, Guan Yu also led the army to attack Xuchang.

Ge Liang was also leaving, so he asked Liu Bei for leave, saying that he wanted to go back to Chengdu to have a look.

This surprised Liu Bei too much, this decisive battle with Cao Wei is imminent, and it is a critical moment to discuss the plan with you, why do you suddenly want to go back to Chengdu?

Ge Liang approached, and whispered into Liu Bei's ear: "I ......"

"Huh?" Liu Bei was even more surprised, and asked loudly, "Won't it?" ”

Ge Liang was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty won't blame me, right?" ”

Liu Bei only had a sense of surprise: "This, this, this, this is too unexpected!" I, it's too late for me to be happy. You, is what you're saying really true? ”
