Chapter 249
"It's disgusting that Liu Bei actually hung up the seal and went west, and now I'm afraid that he has arrived in Shuzhong, hateful, he shouldn't have taken this person in that day." Speaking of Liu Bei, who fled in the wilderness, Han Song was annoyed, there were reinforcements outside, and elite soldiers inside, and this Xiangyang had sixty percent to keep, but now, only thirty percent.
"The lord is asking for good advice, not complaining." With a cold snort, Cai Mao's face was as usual, for these wealthy families, changing the lord is just changing the lord.
As soon as Han Song's face changed, he wanted to get up and make a move with Cai Mao, Yi Yuan was quick, grabbed it, and changed the topic at the same time: "Didn't Cao Cao's Yuzhou Lieutenant Li Tong lead 5,000 elite soldiers to take Nanyang, and the follow-up army should be coming soon." ”
Liu Biao's face became even more bitter, and he picked up a white scroll on the case and threw it to the Yi nationality, which clearly read, "After Yuan Shao returned to the city, he was so depressed that he fell ill, vomited blood and died, and his three sons attacked each other, and Hebei became a mess. ”
Yi Yuan was shocked, looked up and asked, "Cao Cao led his army north?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Biao nodded helplessly, the temptation in Hebei is obviously greater than in the south, and it is easier for Lu Bu to fight, of course, it is easy to fight with the unfilial sons of the Yuan family in Hebei, the land of the four continents of Hebei.
It seems that Xiangyang has really become a dead end, but he is unwilling to surrender.
Cai Mao's face was a little anxious, and he raised his fist and said: "Lord, the general trend is going, why don't you go out of the city and descend early, and leave a glimmer of life for the lord." A group of ministers in the hall who were attached to the Cai family echoed one after another, and they were shouting happily, with a wave of momentum.
Liu Biao's complexion turned from black to white, and Han Song and the others scolded, "Those who are ministers should share their worries for the Lord, where is your integrity." ”
This scolding was out of control, and there was a lot of noise in the side hall, but the Kuai brothers watched coldly, and Kuai Liang just looked at the line of small words in the lower right corner of the white silk, "Cao Cao's strategist Xun Yu, due to the death of the first emperor, caused exhaustion, delayed for several months, and died of vomiting blood and fighting not long ago." "I sighed in my heart for this person, why I was in troubled times, but it was a pity that this wise man in the world was in trouble.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and Liu Biao anxiously asked Kuai Liangdao, who was in a daze: "Zirou has a good plan?" ”
"Only by using Huang Zhong to defend the city can there be a glimmer of life." Kuai Liang, who was in a daze, was asked by Liu Biao and blurted out, but immediately regretted it, even if he won a glimmer of life, he could only breathe for a while, the two brothers made up their minds to be high, no matter whether they asked or not, they didn't expect that they were actually fascinated by Xun Yu's death.
"Okay, Feng Huang Zhong as... As the governor of the capital, he commanded all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. Now that the matter is urgent, Liu Biao simply named Huang Zhong a nominal commander of Jingzhou.
"Huang Zhong is just a pawn, what kind of virtue and talent, in such a high position." Cai Mao didn't do it, her face turned dark, and she retorted.
"Hmph, this official is full of words, and Huang Zhong is the governor of the capital." With a cold snort, Liu Biao blackened and walked away.
A trace of resentment flashed in Cai Mao's eyes, but he was steadily captured by the Kuai brothers, and sighed in his heart, either you die or I die, why bother.
Outside the city, a "Lu" word flag was finally inserted into Xiangyang, Lu Bu was dressed in silver armor, personally invited Huang Zu and Xu Shu to enter the big tent, although the heart of Huang Zu's surrender was happy, but the eyes were drifting to Xu Shu, no way, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has seen too much, although there are not many descriptions of Xu Shu in the official history, but people are inevitably curious, the more they look at it, the more satisfied they are, this guy is strong around him, holding a sword in his hand, and he can have this momentum, so he will not be bad.
"Ahem... Cough... Cough. Chen Gong coughed, attracting everyone's attention to him.
A trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, Lu Bu knew Chen Gong's temper, and couldn't help but say to Huang Zuyan: "General Huang can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and lead the army to submit to the Han court, which is really commendable. ”
"General Xie." Huang Zu's face was calm and he bowed.
He was so surprised that Lu Bu was so surprised, in his impression, Huang Zu was obviously not an atmospheric person, and now he can be unmoved when he suffers a loss, is it because he is moody? A trace of vigilance formed in his heart, and Lu Bu wanted to tie this dangerous person to a position in a high position but without real power.
With a smile, Lu Bu asked: "There are more than 30,000 troops in a city in Nanjun, among which there are pawns, a small half of them are wounded soldiers, and Pang Tong only has more than 7,000 people, is it inappropriate?" ”
"With Shiyuan sitting in charge to appease the people, and Shi Tao and Meng Jian assisting, within a few months, Nanjun will be able to completely restore its former prosperity." Xu Shu also smiled, and he didn't have much stage fright when he saw Lu Bu, the general.
"Okay, where's the master book?"
"My lord." Lu Su stood up and bowed.
"With Lu Su as the Taishou of Nanjun, Shi Tao and Meng Jian are all engaged in it, staying in Nanjun, Huang Jie is the captain of the Naval Division, and Zhou Tai is in the same column, as for Xu Yuanzhi." Lu Bu turned his head to look at Xu Shu, who was listening, and said with a smile: "Just for Gong Cao, stay by Lone's side." ”
Now that Jingzhou is such a big place, the south really needs people like Pang Tong to sit in the town, and in this battle of Jingzhou, Pang Tong not only brought Xu Shu for himself, but also joined Zhang Xiu in the north and Huang Zu in the south, which has a lot of credit, and it should indeed give some benefits.
"Thank you, Lord." I had already expected in my heart that Xu Shu got up indifferently and shook his bow to Lu Bu, but he wondered why Lu Bu kept him by his side, it stands to reason that he was just a nobody, although he and Pang unified to persuade Huang Zu to surrender.
"Thank you, Lord." Huang Zu also stood up and bowed.
Lu Su didn't know where to take out the brush, and wrote on a bamboo slip, skillfully like a professional master book.
"Hang up the battle free card, and as soon as Gao Shun's 30,000 troops arrive, they will immediately wave their troops to attack the city." Lu Buyang said.
"Lord, didn't Cao Cao want to wave his troops south. It should be able to take the city first. "Xu Shu has not been an official for a short time, and he began to admonish the lord.
Lu Su smiled weirdly, took out a piece of white silk from his sleeve, and handed it to Xu Shu.
"Yuan Shao is dead? Mr. Xun is dead? Xu Shu exclaimed, then Lu Bu is destined to possess Hanchuan, and no one can take away such a large piece of land.
"Hmm." Lu Bu nodded with a smile, Yuan Shao's death was expected, after all, the history books said that he died of illness. But Xun Yu's death was unexpected. This is not the death of a counselor. It is a major loss for the entire Cao clan, but he Lu Bu is full-fledged, has many first-class advisers, and has already overshadowed Cao Cao in terms of hidden forces.
………
The sky was gray and dark, the drizzle fell with the wind, and the surrounding area was an endless mountain and sea, and all kinds of vegetation grew densely. The emerald green leaves were crystal clear, shimmering slightly, and there were countless soldiers on the mountain path stepping on the muddy ground, braving the drizzle, hiking in the deep mountains with difficulty, and looking from the sky, it was simply far away.
On the surface, these soldiers are not much different from the Jiangdong soldiers. But physically. Obviously, the soldiers of the Jiangdong are shorter, but the limbs are thicker when they are exposed, and they appear short but capable. The speed of walking up the mountain road is much faster than that of the Jiangdong soldiers, and most of the people are men who beg for a life in the mountains and forests.
At the front of the team, a big banner with the word "Shi" with blood red as the base and black as the font color, although the blood-red bottom looked murderous, but under the drizzle, the whole flag looked weak.
He followed the three generals wearing golden armor and rode their horses side by side, "Big brother, isn't it good for me to be the emperor of the soil in Jiaozhou, why do you risk the danger of destruction to attack Jian'an?" "A man on the left who looks very old, five big and three thick, with a voice as big as Hong Zhong, asked a man in the middle who looks gentle and graceful, like a scribe more than a general.
"Hey, third brother, the territory of the Emperor of the Earth also scores, how can Jiaozhou be compared to Yangzhou, the girl's eyes are so watery, and the skin is white and reflective." The one on the right said in a daze.
If the eldest brother in the middle is a scribe, the third brother on the left is a martial artist, then the guy on the right is just sandwiched in the middle, not civil, not martial, nondescript, if the three of them are not half-brothers, they have to admire their parents, give birth to three children, and they all stand out from the crowd, which is really rare.
"Lu Buquan is based on Yangzhou, and his strength is the third in the world, if he is allowed to annex Jingzhou, let alone the lord of Jiaozhou, it will be difficult to establish himself even if it is a county." The eyes are full of gloom, although Jiaozhou is a state, and the people's customs are also strong, but the talents are rare, and he has been in the state for so many years, but he can't compare to Lu Bu, a reckless man.
Hearing the conversation between their three brothers, Changshi Cheng stepped forward, raised his fist and said to the soldiers: "Lord, Cao Cao secretly communicated letters, saying that we would take Yangzhou, he raised troops to attack Jingzhou, but Cao Cao was treacherous, and such a battle was his drive to eat the tiger and the wolf, and Jiaozhou was afraid to be in danger." ”
"Didn't the eldest brother say, it's better to sit and wait for death than to give it a go, now Yangzhou is empty, and the 80,000 army may be able to capture Yangzhou, so let Lu Bu and Cao Cao fight to the death in Jingzhou." The second sergeant had a wicked smile on his face.
"But Jiaozhou is far away, and what happened in the Central Plains can't be known in time, if there is any change of face and worry, frowning, thinking hard.
"Hmm." Nodding, Shi showed the same expression, he was also so worried, but he can be said to be self-made, laying such a big foundation, and being a prince, of course, he tried his best to keep his current position.
"If only I could take advantage of Lu Bu's serious illness last time and attack Yangzhou." The third Huang You grunted and looked up at the gray sky, "This damn weather, I knew that the fourth child was here, how good it would be to stay at home." His brows furrowed deeply, and his mouth was also scolding.
"At that time, Jiangdong was in turmoil, but it was quickly restored, and when the news arrived in Jiaozhou, we waited for the soldiers and horses to be assembled, and Lu Bu also recovered." Shi said with pity, his complexion changed rapidly, and the speed was so fast that it was staggering, "In the final analysis, Li Shu's luck is too bad, Lu Bu saw the poison in his body that sealed his throat with blood and did not die, and finally his body was wiped out, and he just refused to send a son to Jiaozhou." Speaking of which, his complexion changed again, and he was a little gloating.
