Chapter 542: Red Cliff Three
Chibi.
The Chu army has a water village, with many warships and several miles of company camps.
The river above the Yangtze River is undulating, the waves are heavy, and the sound of strong waves crashing on the shore fills the heavens and the earth.
In the face of hundreds of thousands of Wu troops who wore linen and filial piety, their morale was high, and their hatred was soaring, his face was getting older day by day, and there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Sun Jian died in battle, he always thought it was a good thing.
The Jiangdong Tiger is dead, the state of Wu will inevitably be chaotic, and the leaderless state of Wu will become the defeated general of the state of Chu, and he will regain his own heritage.
It's a pity, but now it seems that I'm afraid it's not likely.
When Sun Jian died in battle, he left Xiangyang tightly and went south to Chibi, hoping to seize the best opportunity to defeat the Wu army, but unfortunately, the battle between the two heroes in his hope did not come, and the brother he was waiting for did not happen.
Sun Quan's bold words, if you don't break Xiangyang, you won't return it! Even if it shocked him Liu Biao, it also shocked the entire Chu army, you must know that the strength of the Wu army is so strong, if it is attacked at any cost, the Chu army will be defeated.
He originally thought that Sun Ce and Sun Quan were going to war, and wanted to take advantage of their internal strife so that he could reap the benefits of the fishermen, but now he was beaten by the head-on Lu Bu and dazed.
Chibi did not fight, and Xiangyang was still lost.
Sun Zhongmou's son did not think of retiring from the army and returned to Jinling to keep his position, but he put on an attitude of avenging his father and fighting him to the end, which made him a little frightened.
The state of Chu went up and down, smashed pots and sold iron, and did their best to concentrate all their troops, less than 150,000, and many of them were young and strong people. Now they are all completely concentrated in Chibi.
However, the Wu army on the other side of the river had already displayed more than 200,000 troops, and all of them were elite regular troops.
This strength, the root is not something they can defeat.
"Zirou, can Shu have a reply?"
Liu Biao raised his head, his eyes had a touch of hope, and he looked at his henchmen.
Fortunately. He can still have Shu to rely on.
"Report to the king, there is no letter yet!" Kuai Liang shook his head and said softly: "There is no news from Chengdu, there has been no accurate news since then, the Shu army stationed in Baidi City and Peicheng has not made any moves, it seems that Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, is still thinking about it!" ”
"Alas, Liu Zhang is really a man of rat eyes!" When Liu Biao heard this, his face was a little ugly. Gritting his teeth, a trace of gloomy light condensed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Doesn't he Liu Zhang know?" As long as our Chu State is destroyed, the next target of Wu State will be Shu State, and even the Bashu Heavenly Kingdom will not be able to stop the Wu State soldiers! ”
Shu is located in Bashu Tianfu, there are natural dangers to protect the country, the national strength is strong, although Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, is a little cowardly. But he believed that Liu Zhang could inherit the position of overlord of Shu from the hands of several brothers. There is still a sense of crisis.
The reason why Liu Biao has high hopes for Shu is because now Shu and Chu are simply grasshoppers on a rope.
Dead lips and cold teeth.
Wu is recognized as the overlord of the south, whether it is national strength or military strength, it is above the princes of the world, even if Sun Jian, the king of Wu is now killed in battle, there are still two heirs, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and the son of Jiangdong Quan.
The state of Wu was even stronger than the states of Chu and Shu combined. If the state of Chu dies, the state of Shu will not end well.
"Liu Jiyu, Liu Jiyu!"
Liu Biao stood up, the former arrogance was gone, his tall body was a little bent, and he looked at the water in the distance. His eyes crossed a cold glint and said, "I hope you can understand that cooperation is beneficial to both sides!" ”
Without the reinforcements of Shu, the battle of Chibi is obviously mysterious.
"King, Ebo should be able to convince Liu Zhang, but it will take a little more time!" Kuai Liang thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Liu Zhang is cowardly and indecisive, and it is not so simple to want him to send troops to help!" ”
Kuai Liang knew that Yi was a man who could speak well, and he also believed that Yi Ji had the ability to persuade Liu Zhang, who had no opinions.
However, his wish was destined to be frustrated, and the Yi nationality he had high hopes for did not see Liu Zhang from beginning to end, and from the time he entered the Shu Kingdom, he was secretly imprisoned by Jinyiwei.
"Hopefully, what about Ryokuni?" Liu Biao suddenly asked, "Does Ma Teng have a reply?" ”
Liu Biao was indeed waiting for reinforcements, not only for the reinforcements of the Shu State, but also for the Western Liang Iron Cavalry of the Liang State on the northwest side of the Chu State.
Wei is now in a decisive battle with the Jin State, Cao Cao can let Zhang Xiu's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses go south, which is already the greatest force, at this moment, the Wei State can't take care of the south at all, except for the Shu State, the only one who can help the Chu State is the Liang State that came later.
After the Liang King Ma Teng killed Li Dao Guo Yan, he not only pressed Han Sui to the east of the river, but also copied Jincheng County, the old nest of the Jin State, and took the entire Liangzhou as his own.
Liang Guo jumped into the sky and became one of the most powerful princes and overlords in the world.
Xiliang has been bitter and cold since ancient times, the soldiers have always been elite, and the iron cavalry is even more dominant in the world, but since Dong Zhuo died in Chang'an, the Xiliang iron cavalry has been somewhat obscure, and gradually withdrew from the stage of the world, disappearing in the eyes of so people.
The strength of the Liang State, even if the Chu State and the Shu State are incomparable, this made Liu Biao see a glimmer of hope, so when Sun Jian died in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's heart had a little more thought, and he sent someone to Liang State.
Although Liu Biao himself also understands that letting the Liang State go south is actually a great crisis for the Chu State, and it is actually no different from luring a wolf into the house, but now that the Wu State is powerful, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are displayed in Chibi, and that momentum can make him desperate.
Especially after his old nest Nanjun was occupied by Lu Bu, Liu Biao made up his mind to put the wild wolf of Liangguo into Jingxiang, and let them compete with the tiger of Wuguo.
The tiger and the wolf compete, and he can maneuver around it and preserve the strength of the Chu State.
"Report to the king, Xenodu has already met with Sima Yi, the prime minister of Liangguo, and this person has promised to assist our Chu State!" Kuai Liang's eyes were a little worried, and he said: "Three days ago, King Ma Teng of Liang had already decided to go south, worship his eldest son Ma Chao as a general, and lead 30,000 troops to Jingzhou in the south. However, this person is also a jackal, if he is allowed to get Nanjun, our Chu State must not be guarded against! ”
"The current situation can't help us!"
Liu Biao shook his head and said coldly: "If the Chu State wants to survive under the Wu State's soldiers, it must have a helper. As long as Ma Chao can defeat Lu Bu, the lonely eyes can be given to them! ”
"In the Battle of Nanyang, Zhang Xiu is already in danger, if they can't stop Lu Bu and let them go south, we will be in danger!" Liu Biao squinted, his eyes crossed with a glint of essence, and said: "Compared with Sun Quan, Gu is even more afraid of Lu Bu, a tiger!" ”
"The King. General Cai is defeated today! Kuai Liang said suddenly: "After the first battle, more than 3,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and the large and small warships were destroyed!" ”
"Zhou Tai has increased his troops?"
"Hmm!"
Kuai Liang nodded and said, "I'm afraid Sun Zhongmou can't wait any longer, today, Tai Shi Ci has been dispatched, and Gan Ning's troops have also pounced from Xiakou, I'm afraid there will be a decisive battle!" ”
"What about Liu Bei?" Liu Biao asked.
"His men and horses are now stationed on the land plains on the left. And Huang Zhong is fighting! ”
"Pass the Gu order and let Guan Yu lead 30,000 troops. Enter the Chibi Water Village! ”
Guan Yu killed Sun Jian, which made him a little overjoyed and even more optimistic about him.
"No!"
……
Shu.
Chengdu City.
In the north of the city, in an ordinary courtyard, the security is heavily guarded, and the Yi is tied up in a dark basement. He couldn't see the sun and even forgot how long he had been tied up.
"Mr. Yi, it's been more than a month, why do you have to die?"
At this time, a blue-robed young man gently pushed open the stone door. walked in, looked at Yi Yuan, and there was a touch of respect in the depths of his eyes, there are not many people in this world who can carry the torture of Jinyiwei for a month.
The Yi nationality has just entered Chengdu, and was arrested by the Jinyi Wei Shu State Thousand Households, during this time, the Jinyi Wei did not use the punishment of the Iraqi nationality, but they were used to torture them in all aspects.
However, the Iraqi nationality is also tough, and he has always been unwilling to surrender to Wu.
"Yiboji, your loyal Liu Biao is just a busy person, the destruction of the Chu State is imminent, the Wu State is orthodox, only we have the ability to dominate the world, you have studied hard for many years, and you can learn, why not take refuge in the Wu State and make contributions!"
The blue-robed young man looked at Yi Ji with a scorching light in his eyes.
Yi is extraordinary, speaks sharply, and has a strong backbone, which is worthy of his admiration, he wants to recruit, but the enemy is the enemy after all, even if he admires, he will not hesitate to start, unless he can become his own person.
Bah!
Hearing this, Yi Yuan raised his head slightly, opened his eyes, and he looked at the faint rays of sunlight refracted outside, as if a big hand had pulled him back from the darkness.
This was the first time he had seen the sun in the abyss, as if he had been silent in the Nine Shadows Abyss, and he could not see a trace of light.
"Hehe, Wu Guojin Yiwei, will you only use these means that you can't see the light? A certain family looks down on you rats in the dark, even if a certain family dies here, he will not surrender to the Wu Kingdom! ”
Yi's voice was very weak, but with the unique style of a literati, he would rather die than give in: "The king will not die, the state of Chu will win, and the state of Wu will be defeated!" ”
"Big brother, I see that he is determined to go against Wu Guo, he doesn't eat toast, he has to eat and drink, let's kill him!" Behind the blue-robed young man, a young man with a hat walked in and glanced at Yi Yuan coldly.
"Since you are so stubborn, let's wait for Liu Biao to die in battle, and then make a decision, I hope you can change your mind, otherwise, don't blame a certain family for being ruthless!"
The blue-robed young man knew that Wu Guo was talented, so he always had the mentality that he could recruit Iraqis.
"Watch him well, don't lack water, a lot of food, you must not let him die!"
The two young men closed the stone door and left the cellar, and the blue-robed young man said to the brocade-clothed guard guarding the outside.
"No!"
A few brocade wrestlers nodded cautiously.
The two young men walked out into the courtyard of the courtyard and stood side by side, their faces a little solemn.
"Big brother, Yi has always been reluctant to cooperate, and after a long time, the people around Liu Zhang will inevitably doubt, how is it good?" The young man in the hat is Liao Mo, one of the commanders of the Jinyi Guard.
The official rank of Jinyiwei, the governor of the capital, the commander of the envoy, the commander of the envoy, the thousand households, the hundred households, the general banner.
Liao Mo is one of the four major commanders under Li Ne, and he is the backbone of Jinyiwei, but he knows very well that half of his credit is contributed to him by the man in front of him.
The blue-robed young man is Liao Hao, in terms of position, he is only a thousand households, but when it comes to qualifications, there are few people in the brocade guard who can be invincible with him.
This young man who single-handedly laid the foundation of Bashu's intelligence is not only Sun Quan's confidant, but also Li Nie's most optimistic person.
"Liu Zhang also has some strategists around him!"
When Liao Hao heard this, he thought about it and said in a low voice: "Many people have already played for him to send troops to help Chu State, and he is also a little moved, so he has been waiting for the envoy of Chu State, but since receiving the letter of Chu State, he has not waited for the envoy of Chu State, so if it drags on like this, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be suspicious, after Nanjun was taken by Wu State, he was a little panicked, as far as I know, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, who he has summoned in private, is ready to send troops to Chu State, we want to break their agreement, and the envoy of Chu State must appear!" ”
"But where do we go to find the envoy of the Chu State for him, several other envoys of the Chu State are willing to cooperate, but the Yi nationality has always been unwilling to cooperate!"
Liao Mo's eyes had a hint of gloom, and he said: "The letter from Chu to Shu is from Iraq, without him, it will arouse the suspicion of Shu!" ”
He was sent by Li Ne to Shu to destroy the relationship between Chu and Shu, and after they took the Yi nationality, they always liked to persuade the Yi nationality and use the identity of the Yi nationality to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son.
However, the toughness of the Iraqi nationality made the two brothers a little helpless.
"Yi's bones are too hard, and he can't pass the exam, so let's go!"
Liao Hao's eyes fell on his younger brother, and said: "Although Shu has dealings with Chu State, Yi is a newly baked talent, no one in the court of Shu has ever seen Yi Boji, with the cover of my Jinyi Guard, as long as you don't show flaws, we have a certain chance to succeed."
Liu Zhang is not only cowardly, but also a freewheeling person, as long as Liu Zhang can be disgusted with the Chu State, and it also gives him the illusion that even if the Chu State is destroyed, it will not involve the Shu State, then even if the people below are tossing, he will not send troops to help! ”
In Shu over the years, although his position is not high, but he has been mixed into Liu Zhang's side, as Liu Zhang's close minister, he is familiar with the court of Shu and the study of Liu Zhang, he has a certain grasp.
"Me?"
When Liao Mo heard this, he was slightly startled, shook his head, and said: "Big brother, won't this be too reluctant, although I have practiced a Jiangdong local accent over the years, but I still can't get rid of the Liangzhou accent, as long as I speak, it will attract their attention!" ”
"There's no way around it now!"
Liao Hao sighed, there was a touch of determination in his eyes, and said: "I have received the news of Jinyiwei, the decisive battle of Chibi is imminent, and we can't have accidents, so the Shu State must be stabilized, and they can't be allowed to send troops, the only way is to make Liu Zhang disgusted with the envoy of the Chu State, but now, we can't find a person who can be trusted, and there is a strong atmosphere of Jingzhou people, so we can only let you go." ”
"So be it!"
When Liao Mo heard this, his heart moved, his face became resolute, he gritted his teeth, and said: "The envoy of Chu State has not appeared for such a long time, it must have aroused the suspicion of the court of Shu State, let's say that the thief we met on the road hurt his neck and couldn't speak, killing two birds with one stone!" ”
"Good!"
When Liao Hao heard this, his eyes lit up, nodded in agreement, and said: "Without further ado, you will appear in Chengdu tomorrow, go to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang's living habits, you must remember it firmly, your attitude must change from humble to arrogant, you must find ways to make him disgusted from the bottom of your heart, and you must pay attention to a few people, especially Zhang Song, a henchman around him, this is a shrewd character!" ”
"Got it!"
Liao Mo heard his brother's reminder and nodded heavily. (To be continued......)
