Chapter 640 Nagasaka Slope (3)

Liu Bei's soldiers divided into two routes and withdrew from Fancheng overnight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Nearly 100,000 people left in a hurry, all the way east, all the way south, leaving only an empty city.

To the east, it is natural to go to Jiangxia; If you go south, you will go straight to Gangneung. Facing the upcoming 200,000 Cao army, and facing the Jingxiang clan who are getting closer to Cao Cao, Liu Bei is not a fool, and he knows very well that with a small county town in Fancheng, he can't resist it at all.

The only way to do this is to withdraw in order to seek the future.

Anyway, this is not the first time to do this kind of thing, and Liu Bei is also familiar with it.

But the trouble he brought to Cao Peng was extremely huge...... Liu Bei, is he going to retreat to Jiangxia, or to flee to Jiangling?

"Liu Xuande coerced 70,000 people from Fancheng to evacuate, and he deserved death."

Wen Ping was furious and flew like thunder.

Liu Bei knew best how many soldiers and horses he had in his hands.

It only adds up to one or two hundred thousand people, and the so-called one hundred thousand must include the people of Fancheng.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have finally paid attention to the love of the homeland, and it is difficult to give up a homeland. No matter how high Liu Bei's reputation is, it is impossible for the people of the city to accompany him. Now that it has appeared, there is only one possibility, there is Liu Bei coercing the people away, and his heart can be punished.

"Liu Bei, I intend to use 70,000 people in Fancheng to delay our pursuit."

Wen Ping looked at Cao Peng and said eagerly: "Youxue, let's pursue it immediately, and we must not let go of this big-eared thief." ”

Before this, Wen Ping still had a good impression of Liu Bei. But as soon as the situation of coercing the people to evacuate appeared, he immediately felt angry.

This Uncle Liu Huang is really unscrupulous.

At the same time, Cao Peng was also in a dilemma: Liu Beibing was divided into two paths, which way did he go?

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Liu Bei fled to Jiangxia. However, now the troops retreated in two ways, making it difficult for Cao Peng to decide. He hesitated for a moment, and immediately took Wen Ping to the tiger and leopard riding camp.

"Ling Ming, immediately order your troops and horses and prepare to attack."

"Whoa!"

Pound didn't say a word, and took the order.

Cao Peng took Wen Ping and went straight to the small tent in the back camp to visit Jia Xu.

"When will Mr. Jia arrive?"

Wenpin didn't know Jia Xu's name, and when he saw Jia Xu at first glance, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Cao Peng explained: "The prime minister has a life, and he can't let go of the big-eared thief. I was also worried that I was no match for the big-eared thief, so I sent the Marquis of Du Tingjun to offer wine to the tiger and leopard cavalry. General Zhongye, let's talk about the situation with the military, and ask him to solve our doubts......"

Wen Ping stopped asking questions, and explained the situation with Cao Peng.

Jia Xu frowned, and immediately ordered someone to fetch a map and examine it carefully.

"Youxue, what do you think?"

Cao Peng didn't answer, but stared straight at the map. After a while, he sighed secretly in his heart: Luo Guanzhong misunderstood me a lot!

"Jiangling, Liu Bei will go to Jiangling."

"How so?"

"This ......"

Cao Peng didn't know how to explain it, and the reason why he was so sure was only because on that map, he saw a place name: Dangyang County.

Zhang Yide drank off Dangyang Bridge!

This allusion is well known in later generations.

Historically, after Liu Bei was defeated and took Fancheng, he should have gone to Jiangling, not Jiangxia.

Otherwise, it is impossible to have seven in and seven out of Changban Slope, and Zhang Yide drank off Dangyang Bridge...... Cao Peng was thinking about how to explain, but the clerk on the side showed a dignified look. He stared at the map in front of him, and after a while, he suddenly spoke, "Youxue, do you remember that some time ago, Liu Bei conspired against Xiangyang, and Wuxi Man was also involved?" Liu Xuande went to Jiangling, and his plan was really not small. ”

Cao Peng, some can't keep up with the idea of hiring.

On the contrary, it was Jia Xu, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He stood in front of the map for a long time, and said to Wen Ping: "Zhongye, can there be soldiers and horses stationed in Zhijiang County?" ”

"Zhijiang?"

Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, thought about it and immediately replied: "Zhijiang's chief name is Cai Yang, he is the younger brother of his wife, and he is a man who keeps his success...... Thirty miles away from the west of the Zhijiang River, there is Huya Mountain, and there is a battalion of Xiangyong in the tun, almost about 4,000 people, which is under the control of Cai Yang. ”

Jia Xu asked again: "If you start from Xiangyang, how long will it take to reach Huya Mountain?" ”

"If you ride out lightly, it will arrive tomorrow."

"Zhongye, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands now?"

"Eight thousand foot soldiers, three thousand cavalry."

Jia Xu took a deep breath, turned his head to Cao Peng and said, "Youxue, I remember you said that you have sent someone to Jiangling, is it reliable?" ”

"Naturally reliable."

"Well, you immediately lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue, and you must catch up with Liu Bei before Jiangling is lost.

I will send someone to Baishui Township and order Junyi to send troops to help...... Zhongye, you immediately mobilize all the light horses that can be requisitioned in Xiangyang, set off overnight, and rush to Huya Mountain. I dare to conclude that the big-eared thief must have gone to Gangneung. This fang fruit is not idle, and the person he is plotting is the four counties of Jingnan. ”

Cao Peng, dumbfounded.

Does Liu Bei have such great ambitions?

He has the ability to seek the four counties of Jingnan?

Historically, he was like a lost dog, just looking for a place to live. Could it be that after he was reborn, he actually changed history?

Seeing that Cao Peng and Wen Ping were puzzled, Jia Xu simply explained clearly.

"I've been keeping an eye on the big-eared thief, after retreating to Fancheng, this fang seems to be honest and duty-bound, but the small actions in the secret are endless. In the past, Jiangxia and Changsha exchanged letters frequently; Moreover, there is a detailed notice that Jiangxia and Jiangdong have close contacts, especially since the beginning of the year, Liu Bei has sent people to Jiangdong secretly several times, which seems to have the intention of joining forces with Jiangdong. Liu Pan and Liu Qi have a brotherhood. When Liu Biao was alive, Liu Pan was not obvious, but in secret, he often corresponded with Liu Qi...... This person and Liu Qi were stationed in Jingzhou at the same time, and in terms of feelings, they were far deeper than Gongzi Cong. Now, Liu Qi and Liu Bei are close, if Liu Bei captures Jiangling, Liu Pan will rebel.

This is one of them. ”

Liu Pan is the Taishou of Changsha County.

Liu Biaotou had seven funeral sacrifices, and it stands to reason that Liu Pan should come to pay tribute, but there was no trace of him.

Cao Peng's heart couldn't help but be shocked, "What does Mr. mean, there are still two things?" ”

Jia Xu nodded, "Exactly." ”

At this moment, even Wen Ping was a little nervous.

Not to mention Liu Cong, who came with him and wanted to increase his knowledge.

Wen Ping hurriedly said: "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

Jia Xu said: "Youxue, Zhongye, don't you think that Jiangdong captured Boluoyuan at this time, it's a little strange? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Cong asked in amazement.

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "Sun Quan took Zhou Tai as the main general and Xu Sheng as the deputy general, and suddenly sent out Chaisang, attacked Wuling, and occupied Luoyuan, which means that it is quite unusual. Prime Minister won a great victory in Liao, and it was difficult for the Yuan family to do anything. There is only one high-level cadre left, and there is no need to worry at all......

It is not without reason that the prime minister has made his uncle and grandson take charge of Hedong.

Youxue, you have a lot of business dealings with Zilian, and in the past few years, the Hedong Wei clan has opened up the Hexi trade route and made a fortune by virtue of the agreement with you, which can be called your Gyeonggi Alliance. Although Zixiao was not hindered in Hedong, it did not mean that he could command properly. And the uncle and grandson are different, he has you behind him, no matter whether Zilian or Wei Qian, he will not be embarrassed by him, and will even try his best to help. And the land of Hexi was established by you again, and Hexi is too guarded by Pang Tong, and it will also give your uncle and grandson the greatest help.

Not to mention, Ling Zun is the history of Liangzhou Thorn.

Therefore, having an uncle and grandson in charge of Hedong is enough to make it difficult for Gao Gan to make a difference.

There is no restraint in this northern Xinjiang, how can Sun Quan not see the prime minister's next goal? It's nothing more than Jingxiang and Jiangdong......

Sun Quan, there are only two choices.

or surrender to the prime minister, or unite with others, relying on the great river moat, and compete with the prime minister.

He attacked Wuling at this time, but he was afraid that he had ulterior motives. Now Jiangdong is still difficult to swallow Jingnan, and he will not be willing to sit back and watch the lord plot to take Jingzhou, so he can help Liu Bei occupy Jingnan and contain the prime minister. If my guess is correct, in a few days, Liu Pan will send troops to rescue Wuling, and Liu Xian will not be able to refuse, and he will definitely welcome it. When the time comes, Liu Pan will occupy Wuling, and he will be able to welcome Liu Bei into Jingnan. With the place of Jiangling, Jiangxia in the east, Jingnan in the south, and Jiangdong as a whole, and then allied with Bashu.

In this way, the big river and the moat are in front, and the prime minister wants to conquer again, but he is afraid that it will take a lot of effort.

As long as Liu Bei sits firmly in the four counties of Jingnan, he will collude with Wudu Ma Chao. When Ma Chao's troops enter the pass, the prime minister will inevitably withdraw his troops and return.

This combination technique, if you want to come to Sun Quan's side, there are also capable people who can see the clues. ”

After saying this, Liu Cong was dumbfounded.

Cao Peng pondered for a moment and understood the mystery.

Zhuge Liang's Sun-Liu alliance finally appeared...... Sun Quan has Lu Su and Lu Zijing by his side, and he must be able to see the clues......

Chibi is unavoidable after all.

Cao Peng swallowed his saliva, didn't say a word, and withdrew from the small tent.

Wen Ping returned to Xiangyang with Liu Cong, while Cao Peng immediately ordered three thousand tigers and leopards to ride and pursue Liu Bei.

It is certain that Liu Bei's target is Jiangling, and this will not be false. However, Cao Peng was still apprehensive in his heart...... The soldiers and horses going to Jiangxia don't need him to bother. Thinking that since Jia Xu showed up, he would definitely persuade Mrs. Cai to send troops to pursue. With Wang Wei here, it's not a big problem. And Jia Xu sent Wen Ping to Huya Mountain, which also made Cao Peng puzzled at first. It stands to reason that wouldn't it be better to let Wen Ping and Cao Peng chase together? However, Cao Peng thought about it and figured out the key clearly. Why did Jia Xu let Wenpin go to Huya Mountain? Just because Wen Ping said that on the seventh day of Liu Biao's first day, Wuxi Man assisted Liu Bei in his actions, and then Jia Xu made a decision.

Wuxi Man!

It must be this reason......

Liu Bei united the Wuxi barbarians, so Jia Xu asked Wen Ping to garrison Huya Mountain.

Zhijiang is west of Gangneung, while Huya Mountain is west of Zhijiang. After Huya Mountain and further west, there is Jingmen Mountain, which belongs to the area of Wuxi Man. If Liu Bei colluded with the Wuxi barbarians, then he would inevitably make the Wuxi barbarians attack, seize Zhijiang, and assist him in occupying Jiangling. In this way, it is equivalent to putting a lock on the gate of the four counties of Jingnan. If you want to capture Jingnan again, the difficulty increases.

No wonder Liu Bei was so quiet during this time.

Cao Peng was also strange before, it stands to reason that after Liu Bei's sneak attack on Xiangyang failed, he should have taken action.

At that time, Jing Xiang was in chaos, why did he stand still? Although it is still chaotic now, after all, Jingzhou has a master...... For the people of Jingzhou, their future has been clear, and they will not be as confused and overwhelmed as they were at the beginning......

It turned out that it was to seek Jingnan!

Good means, good intentions!

Cao Peng put on his armor and stepped on the lion and tiger beast.

"Pass my command, the leopard rider will take the lead, and the tiger rider will follow......

Ling Ming, you personally led the leopard cavalry to pursue, and I led the tiger cavalry to follow. If you chase Liu Bei, you don't have to be polite, just kill me directly.

from it. ”

"The end will be."

"You should go to Gangneung immediately, tell General Hansheng, and ask him to take action, seize Gangneung County, and then send troops to reinforce it, there must be no mistake."

Cao Peng gave the order and immediately took a deep breath.

"Let's go!"
