Chapter 215 Zhuge is kind to guide Liu Qi, and Yuan Shu divides the troops in the five ways

In the last book, it was mentioned that Yuan Shu adopted the suggestion of General Yang and called the emperor Shouchun in Huainan. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info even announced to the world with great fanfare, didn't this situation shake the hegemony of Cao Cao's association with the princes? Cao Cao could not tolerate it, so he asked the emperor to send four edicts, recruit troops and borrow grain, and at the beginning of spring, when the green and yellow are not received, the imperial army crusaded against Yuan Shu.

Liu Qian, the general of Zhenguo, directly went out to unify the army of 200,000 and went straight into Jiangling County, Jingzhou, and joined forces with Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's soldiers, and he would fight a family.

It is said that on this day, Liu Qian and Liu Bei brothers led the army to come to Jiangling City, set up camp, and cleaned up. was about to enter the city to meet Liu Biao. But I saw Liu Biao taking the Kuai brothers, the Cai brothers, Cen Hui, Zhang Jian, Chen Xiang, Kong Yu, Yuan Kang, Di Chao, Wen Ping, Zhang Shuo and others out of the city to greet them.

"The virtuous brother is here, for the brother to miss the distance, I hope to forgive the sins!" Not long after Liu Biao left the city, he happened to meet Liu Qian with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu with three hundred elite cavalry warriors rushing towards the city, and said to Liu Qian and Liu Bei.

"My brother greeted me like this, and my brother was terrified!" Liu Qian gave a salute on the horse and thanked him again and again. Liu Bei also stepped forward to salute Liu Biao, but it was a little embarrassed. After all, because of the Xiangyang dispute before, Liu Bei and Liu Biao fought several battles directly face to face.

Liu Biao smiled and didn't say anything. However, the Kuai brothers and the Cai Mao brothers were quite hostile to Liu Bei.

Liu Qian saw all this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but he still talked and laughed with Liu Biao. It is natural that Liu Biao has a lot of wariness of Liu Qian in his heart, but to say that he is attached to Liu Qian, it can also be seen from his words.

"In the past, there was a conflict between Xuande and his brother, and everything was provoked by that Huang Zu. I hope my brother doesn't have to worry about it! Liu Qian naturally knew that Liu Biao had a mustard in his heart, so he bluntly said about the enemy in the past.

"Since the general of Zhenguo said this, my lord and the general are of the same clan, and they are both royal relatives. But I don't know if the general can return Xiangyang! Kuai Yue saw Liu Qian mention the battle in the past, and said hatefully.

Zhuge Liang heard the words on the side, and said with a smile: "Kuai Xenodu, this is a bad word!" How did my lord ever occupy Xiangyang? In the past, when you withdrew from Xiangyang, General Pingxi of my family saw that the city was unmanaged, although he made people enter the city and start to control it. In the past, when the public office was managed, although the people had food and clothing, they could not live and work in peace and contentment! Today, under the governance of my father-in-law, the people live and work in peace and contentment, with few learning and old age. What the people want, let alone the city that you abandon? ”

When Kuai Yue heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes in anger. Kuai Liang saw that his brother was poor in words, so he stepped forward and said: "Zhuge Kongming, you are a villager, how do you know the truth?" ”

Zhuge Liang was not interested in this title, and still responded unhurriedly: "Kuai Zirou, although a certain village man, he is lonely and unheard!" However, it is still clear that right and wrong are clearly debated. Not to mention that there is still a Son of Heaven alive in the world, even if the Son of Heaven is no longer there, who of the princes from all walks of life dares to say that the abandoned city is directly asking for the reason? ”

Without waiting for Kuai Liang to respond, Liu Qian suddenly said: "What Kong Ming said is right. However, if Brother Jingsheng thinks that the foolish brother is incapable of governing Xiangyang, the younger brother will let Xiangyang and ask the elder brother to govern. ”

"Xiangyang is under the governance of the virtuous brother, and it is better than the brother. This is the blessing of the people of Xiangyang. There is a reason to ask for it for my brother! "Liu Biao's words to Zhuge Liang and Liu Qian are enough to choke!

Liu Bei looked at the Kuai brothers' faces that were more stinky than eating flies, and his heart was simply happy.

Liu Qian, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang followed Liu Biao to the hall of the city government.

"I wonder if my brother is ready? This should not be done sooner rather than later. Liu Qian asked.

"Because my brother is not good at managing the army, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the county, and my brother thinks that sending 50,000 troops has reached the limit of his ability." Liu said with a sad face, "This time the thief still needs a virtuous brother, and the brother will definitely do his best to assist." ”

"I appreciate my brother's attention. I wonder when my brother will leave? Liu Qian asked again.

"Brother Xian took a short rest here, and set off together two days later. I don't know why? Liu Biao asked Liu Qian for advice. After all, the army Liu Qian brought now was enough to wipe out the soldiers and horses of his entire Jingzhou county. That's a full 200,000 soldiers and horses, and a combat strength of 200 battalions. What's more, this time the battle was fought by generals like 10,000 enemies, and the three major military divisions with gods and ghosts.

After everyone discussed it, Liu Qian shirked Liu Biao's banquet and stayed together, took Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang out of the city and returned to the camp, and told Guan Yu to arrange the night guard and was about to rest.

Suddenly, I heard a soldier outside to report: "Enlighten the lord, there is a young general outside the gate, and he keeps asking to see the lord." ”

"What kind of teenager?" Liu Qian asked, who would it be when he came to see him in the middle of the night? I couldn't help muttering in my heart, and after thinking about it again, this is my own camp, and there will be no accidents here, so it doesn't hurt to see it, so I said again: "Let him in!" ”

The soldier turned around and was about to come out, but Liu Qian explained again: "By the way, please invite Zhuge to come." "Why did you think of Zhuge Liang again? It turned out that Liu Qian suddenly guessed that the person who came might be Liu Qi, Liu Biao's eldest son. He came here to seek refuge and help. So, Liu Qian remembered Zhuge Liang.

Sure enough, the person who came was Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao. Liu Qi came to Liu Qian's approach, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and shouted again and again: "Uncle, help!" Uncle help! ”

Liu Qian hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and asked, "Are you Liu Qi?" ”

"It's the little nephew!" Liu Qi replied.

"You keep asking me to save your life, what is it that makes you panic?" Liu Qian asked.

"Qi is not tolerated by his stepmother, and Qi is not in danger. I hope my uncle will save me! Liu Qi cried and worshiped Liu Qian again. Liu Qian put his hands on it, and said, "Can you have a good plan for your uncle?" However, after a while, Zhuge Junshi came over. You can beg him!"

When Liu Qi heard this, he stopped.

After a while, Zhuge Liang entered the account to see Liu Qian. Liu Qian then introduced the two of them to each other, and made people serve tea. After the tea was served, he left, leaving only the two of them.

After Liu Qian went out, Liu Qi stepped forward to offer tea to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang asked why. Liu Qi said: "Qi can't be tolerated by his stepmother, and Mr. Xing rescued him with a word." ”

Zhuge Liang then said: "Liang lives here with the lord and guest, how dare he have anything to do with people's flesh and blood? If there is a leak, it will be harmful. With that, he wanted to get up and leave.

Liu Qi pleaded again and again.

Zhuge Liang still refuses to conspire: "This is not what Liang dares to plan!" If you can't get married, how can Liang seek for your son? ”

Liu Qi then drew his sword in his hand and said: "Mr. is unfortunate to teach Qihu in the end!" Qi's life is not guaranteed, please die before Mr. "After speaking, I want to kill myself.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly rescued him and said, "There is a good plan. ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed, so he bowed again.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly stopped and said, "Doesn't the son hear about Shen Sheng." What is the heavy ear? Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong'er was at peace outside. Now that Liu is old, this time he is crusading against Yuan Shu, and the son can ask the general to command the army on behalf of his father, so that he can avoid trouble in the short term. ”

"How can we avoid disasters for a long time?" Liu Qi asked again.

"Xiangyang was occupied by my lord's envoy Xu Ding, because Huang Zu, Cai Mao and other soldiers disturbed my lord. Nanyang County is now in name only. The prince can ask for an order, command the troops to guard Nanyang, and station in Wancheng, so that he can avoid trouble. After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he got up and left.

Liu Qi treated each other in Liu Qian's tent. After a while, Liu Qian replied and asked, "Has the virtuous nephew ever asked about the plan?" ”

"Mr. Zhuge has two plans for his little nephew. The little nephew doesn't know what to choose? Liu Qi said.

"Let's hear it for my uncle!" Liu Qian secretly thought in his heart that there should be only one plan to make Liu Qi avoid trouble Jiang Xia, why did he come up with two strategies now? So I was very curious.

Liu Qi said the two strategies one by one. When Liu Qian heard it, he remembered it in his heart. Why is Liu Qi not chosen, he is waiting for himself to make a statement! Although it is good to be stationed in Wancheng, you must have your own support. Zhuge Liang's arrangement of such a person in Wancheng for himself can be described as well-intentioned, and it is also a way to solve the balance between the enemy and the enemy in the Jingzhou power group. If Liu Biao passes away, the Cai Group will inevitably be incompatible with himself, and he can take this Liu Dagongzi under his command. Then he said: "If the virtuous nephew goes to garrison Wancheng, Uncle Ke will back you up." If Cao Cao violates the border in the future, you can take this token to the Xiangyang Military Region to find the governor Xu Ding for help. After finishing speaking, Liu Qian handed Liu Qi a tiger talisman token, on which was written the word "Xiangyang", and on the other side was the word "rescue". This is Liu Qian's Tian Feng and Fa Zhengzheng making the Tiger Talisman for the transfer of troops at the same time, and at the same time, they made a three-sided rescue talisman, which is only used for help.

Liu Qi got Liu Qian's promise and made up his mind. The next day, he said that he wanted to defend Wancheng. Liu Biao couldn't bear it and hesitated. Suddenly, Liu Qian and Liu Bei came to meet with their entourage. Liu Biao then asked Liu Qian. Liu Sheng said: "Although Wancheng is partial, it is still an important place. What's more, the foolish brother has soldiers stationed in Xiangyang. In the future, Cao Cao's soldiers will invade the territory, and his younger brother will send troops to help his nephew. Don't worry, brother! ”

Liu Biao then ordered Liu Qi to lead 10,000 troops to Wancheng Town, Nanyang County to defend.

Besides, Yuan Shu had to report to Cao Cao Jiao to move troops, so that Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Lu Bu sent troops to attack him together, and he wanted to destroy himself and then quickly. Then the generals were convened to discuss countermeasures.

General Yang said: "The water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers come to block it." What's the bother? ”

Yuan Shu asked Ji again: "Don't say that Xuzhou Lu Bu is extremely fierce, and he is also known as the first military general in the world; Speaking of Jiangdong Sun Ce, his courage is even more than his father, who will go to the battle? ”

"When this integrity is not accepted, the lord can send the general to garrison troops in Tuzhong and stick to the city to resist Sun Ce; sent generals to guard Cai and resist Cao Cao and Lü Bu; sent the general to Hefei to resist Liu Biao; sent the general to garrison Ruyin in order to prepare Cao Cao's troops to go out of Runan; Send the general to Linhuai in preparation for Lu Bu's arrival from Xuzhou. The lord led the army in the center again. This soldier will go out of five ways to resist the enemy soldiers, and he will be safe! General Yang offered advice.

Yuan Shu had no other plan, so he followed his words and divided his troops to garrison: on the first road, the bridge was guarded in Tuzhong; On the second road, Chen Ji will guard Cai; On the third road, Chen Lan will guard Hefei; On the fourth road, Li Feng guarded Ruyin; On the fifth road, Liang Gang guarded Linhuai. The generals Zhang Xun and Ji Ling were the rescue envoys of the five routes. He also served as a five-way observer to transmit the information of the five guards. The five generals and their subordinates will march from the beginning to the defense area.

* Here is written about Yuan Shu's countermeasures to deal with the enemy forces of the four routes, and the deployment arrangements in the "Yuan Highway Seven Armies" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's just that Yang Feng is dead, Han Xian has returned to Liu Qian, and the general Lei Bo was directly born in Liu Qian's camp. However, the fact that Yuan Shu claimed the emperor was only necessary for the development of the plot. In fact, there are historical records, in Cao Cao's "Self-Ming Benzhi Order" there is a saying: "People have persuaded (Yuan) to make the emperor the throne, expose the world, and reply, 'Cao Gong, still here, not yet'." It shows that Yuan Shu did not claim the title of emperor. But for the sake of plot development, Coffee still follows most of the romance legends.
