"There is no need to pursue, immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book to Ma Chao, just say that Cao Jun retreated, let him act according to the plan." Xiao Shu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

After the herald went down, Xiao Shuo's gaze swept towards Xu Chu and Gan Ning.

"Boss Zhongkang, second brother Xingba, you personally lead all the members of the special combat team to cut off the retreat of the Cao soldiers in Jiangling, attack the heart first, kill the enemy first, and be sure to capture the general of the Cao army."

Xu Chu Ganning got the order and left in response.

"Li Ming!" Xiao Shu stopped Li Ming, who was about to leave with the two.

"Military Division" Li Mingcheng paused, turned around, and bowed his head in response.

Xiao Shu looked at Li Chao with high hopes, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Step up the training of the Wooden Ox Cavalry, I look forward to the moment when it soars into the sky!" ”

Li Chao raised his head and looked at Xiao Rate with emotion.

In this battle, the Wooden Ox cavalry suffered considerable losses, and more than 50 Wooden Oxen were destroyed at once, and 30 of them were destroyed at once, and the rest were more or less damaged.

Li Chao originally thought that Xiao Rate would blame him, but he never expected that Xiao Rate not only did not mean to blame, but encouraged him.

This rekindled Li Ming's fighting spirit.

"Li Ming, remember, you are my brother, even if you make a big mistake, I will help you carry it, not to mention this battle, if it weren't for the wooden ox cavalry, I'm afraid Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry would have already broken through the city."

Xiao said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Li Chao responded excitedly.

Xiangyang City was seriously damaged, Liu Bei had already gone to appease the people in the city in person, Xiao Shu even took out one million taels of silver from the Xiangyang City Treasury, and asked the remaining soldiers to assist the people to rebuild their houses and rebuild the city.

But Xiao Rate did not stop the manufacture of wooden oxen, and a large amount of gold and silver were used by Xiao Rate to improve the wooden ox cavalry.

Liu Bei's approach to Xiao Rate did not make any sense, in this battle, he had already seen the horror of the Wooden Ox Cavalry.

Liu Bei could imagine that on the battlefield in the future, the Muniu cavalry would kill one strong enemy after another like a sharp sword.

The restoration of Xiangyang City was proceeding in an orderly manner, and on this day, Xiao Shu suddenly received a report from his own soldiers, saying that a person claiming to be Zhang Song asked to see him.

"Huh?"

Xiao Shu's eyes lit up, Zhang Song was an important figure in Liu Bei's march into Bashu, and this person had a detailed map of the whole county of Bashu.

With it, the losses of Liu Bei's army will also be minimized.

"Bring him in. No, I'd better go and meet it myself. ”

Xiao Shu heard that it was Zhang Song, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he rushed out of the tent.

After coming out, the first thing Xiao Shu saw was a short stature, ugly appearance, and a black mole the size of a thumb at the corner of his mouth.

The Confucian man looked to be nearly forty years old, and he already had signs of age on his forehead, and he looked a little ugly.

At the first glance of Zhang Song, even Xiao Shu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, this guy was really ugly, no wonder Cao Cao saw him in history and beat him away.

"It's Zhang Song and Zhang Yongnian?" Xiao asked with a speech.

Zhang Song raised his head, and Xiao Shuo had a lot of Xiao Rate, Xiao Rate's youth was beyond his imagination.

"Zhuge Kongming? Known as Mr. Wolong? Zhang Song asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Shu looked at Zhang Song, Zhang Song also looked at him, and the two suddenly laughed in unison.

"Yongnian, please come in quickly, I have been friends with Yongnian for a long time."

Xiao Shu didn't lie, if it weren't for the change in Jingzhou, he might have gone to Bashu with Liu Bei, it is really impermanent.

If they really go to Bashu, then the trajectory of history will still be crushed forward, and the battle of Chibi is inevitable.

But now, there is no more battle of Chibi, only the battle of Jingxiang.

Zhang Song listened a little fluctuatingly, to say that Zhuge Kongming, who was famous in Kyushu, had been friends with him for a long time, he absolutely did not believe it.

He is just a small county official in Bashu, where can he get into the eyes of such a powerful person?

"Mr. Kong Ming has won the award, and he is extremely ashamed."

Even though he knew that Xiao Rate was just a kind word, Zhang Song was still very comfortable in his heart.

"Eh, Yongnian thinks Ryo is perfunctory to you?"

Xiao Rate sighed, and said with a stern face, "Yongnian now lives in Liu Zhang's account, and he has the ability to never forget, but unfortunately Liu Zhang is weak, and Yongnian's ambitions cannot be realized."

My lord Liu Bei, benevolence and righteousness are all over the world, and Liang implores Yongnian to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

Zhang Song looked at Xiao Su's respectful appearance and gasped, this young man knew so much.

"Come on, go and invite the lord to come, just say that the old friend of Bashu is visiting."

Xiao invited Zhang Song into the camp tent, ordered someone to invite Liu Bei, and ordered a banquet to be prepared.

This is really beyond Zhang Song's expectations.

After a while, Liu Bei hurried over and saw Xiao Shu and Zhang Song drinking each other, and his eyes fell on Zhang Song's body.

Liu Bei was puzzled, he didn't know this person, why did the military advisor say that he was an old man from Bashu?

has been with Xiao Rate for a long time, Liu Bei naturally knows that Xiao Rate cannot be pretentious for no reason, it seems that this person must have an extraordinary background.

"Strategist, sir."

Zhang Song looked at Liu Bei saluting, his attitude was extremely respectful, and he hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "Envoy, Song is abrupt this time." ”

Xiao Shu took the opportunity to come to Liu Bei and introduced him: "Lord, this is Yizhou Don't Drive, Zhang Song!" There are talented people. ”

Zhang Song on the side heard Xiao Shu's introduction and smiled honestly.

"Oh, don't drive the name if you hear it early, and you will be disappointed." Liu Bei hurriedly saluted Zhang Song again.

Liu Bei's kindness made Zhang Song feel useful, and during the banquet, taking advantage of the thick atmosphere, he took out a map from his arms.

"Envoy, this is the whole map of Bashu hand-drawn by Song, a total of eight counties, three subordinate countries, ninety-eight counties and three provinces." Zhang Song took the opportunity of the banquet to take out his map.

Originally, it was difficult for him to make a decision between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and the reason why he came to Jingzhou to visit Liu Bei first was because Liu Bei was the closest to Bashu.

But after coming here, Zhang Song has already made a decision in his heart.

Zhang Song's map made Liu Bei stunned, and his eyes skimmed to Xiao Rate on the side, only to see Xiao Rate gently waving the feather fan in his hand, and asked unhurriedly: "Yongnian is this?" ”

Zhang Song saw the expressions of the two clearly, and said to the two: "Envoy Jun, Kong Ming, Song is not a traitor seeking glory, but Zhang Lu is attacking from time to time in the north of Western Shu.

Our lord Liu Zhang is weak and suspicious, and for the sake of the people of Bashu, please make the king enter Shu and control the entire territory of Western Shu, so as to repay the people in the territory.

If the envoy is willing to enter Shu, he is willing to be the vanguard. ”

Liu Bei pondered, Liu Zhang of Xishu was of the same clan as him, and if he rashly marched into the army, he was afraid of being spurned by the world. Thinking of this, Liu Bei looked at Xiao Shu with some helplessness.

Xiao Shu slowly fanned the feather fan in his hand, and did not rush to answer.

"Envoy Jun, Kong Ming, do you think that Song is for self-preservation?"

The two didn't speak, and Zhang Song became a little anxious. [.]
