Chapter 174: Jingxiang Hermit
After listening to Liu Xian's information about the distribution of troops in Xiangyang, Han Lie also realized that he had taken it for granted before. Under a little contemplation www.biquge.info Han Lie looked up at Liu Xian, and said, "If you let Shizong go to ask for help, it will be said that Nanjun is in an emergency, Zhang Yun's army is defeated, can you mobilize Xiangyang's troops?" ”
"This plan is feasible, but I need manpower to cooperate, and I am alone to ask for help, I am afraid that Liu Yuanjun will be suspicious." Liu Xian's expression sank slightly, and he replied hesitantly.
"What if I let Ijib go with you?" Han Lie saw Liu Xian's expression in his eyes, and reported his name without moving.
"Isn't Ji Bo also submissive to the lord?" Liu Xian was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his palm and said: "If you have to go with the uncle, this matter will be settled." ”
"Not only that, Lie might as well give Shizong a thorough explanation, Jiangxia Huangzu was eliminated by my people, and now Su Fei, who guards Jiangxia, has been subordinated to my account, as for Gan Ning in Jiangling, he is also our person, and Huo Jun's brother is still my person, and now Huo Jun has been ordered to go to serve under the Wenzhi account, so for Lie at the moment, as long as Xiangyang is taken, Jingzhou can be determined." Han Lie smiled faintly, and while playing with Zhang Yun's talisman in his hand, he began to think about sending Lu Jie, the general of Zhang Yun's subordinates who were obedient to him, and holding Zhang Yun's talisman to mobilize Liu Pan and Wen Ping at the mouth of the oil river, and marched to Luo County in Changsha, and cooperated with the troops of Lu Su, Dong Xi, and Zhu Huan to advance all the way to Changsha.
"Whew." Liu Xian gasped, he was still a little forced to surrender in desperation, but at this moment he said from the bottom of his heart: "Please rest assured, my lord will not fail in my mission and urge Liu Biao to transfer troops out of the city as soon as possible." ”
"Mobilizing Xiangyang's soldiers and horses out of the city is only one of them, if it is possible, it is best for you to win the control of the city defense of a city gate, if you can do so, the plan of the surprise attack on Xiangyang can really be foolproof." Han Lie nodded in approval and made a request to them.
Han Lie's original plan was to let the sergeant change into the armor of Zhang Yun's subordinate and pretend to be Zhang Yun's defeated army to deceive Xiangyang, but now that the situation has changed, this strategy obviously cannot be easily effective, so Han Lie naturally has to find another way.
"If it's just that, it's simpler. My brother-in-law, Zhou Ping, is currently the southern lieutenant of Xiangyang, if I go to lobby at that time, the matter of the south gate access control is not to worry. Speaking of this, Liu Xian became relaxed. Zhou Ping's brother-in-law is also his fellow villager, and the two were classmates, but later Zhou Ping saw that the Han family was weak, so he threw his pen into Rong, and because of qualification problems, he finally ended up with a failed sentence.
But Liu Xian's father admired his ambition very much, so he married his daughter to Zhou Ping, and then Liu Xian got Liu Biao's courtesy, served in the Jingzhou shogunate, and then recommended his brother-in-law Zhou Ping to serve as a small official in Xiangyang to make a living, after years of hard work, Zhou Ping finally achieved such a middle official as the southern lieutenant of Xiangyang.
"Without further ado, I will arrange for someone to escort you to leave overnight, and the Yi will be waiting for you at the front." Han Lie didn't expect Liu Xian to have this relationship, so he nodded happily.
Then Han Lie called Ding Feng and asked him to lead a hundred horsemen and personally escort Liu Xian to Xiangyang. Ding Feng has been by his side all these years, with the strength of that desperate Saburo, Ding Feng, who is not as weak as the crown, not only has his martial arts reached the level of a first-class general, but also the art of war can be said to be perfect, if it weren't for Han Lie's reluctance to let him leave him, with Ding Feng's current ability, he is enough to lead an army alone.
Zhang Yun died on the night of Jingshui, and Pang Degong, a famous scholar of Jingzhou who lived in Yuliang Prefecture in the upper reaches of Xiangyang, and Sima Hui, who was in charge of Lumen Academy, dreamed of Shuishui Hebo at night, so they climbed Da Xian Mountain and worshiped on the same day, and stayed with their disciples on Da Xian Mountain.
That night, when Pang Degong observed the sky at night, he found that the Ziwei Emperor Star had dimmed again in the middle of the sky recently, and the Big Dipper in the northern sky had also changed to varying degrees.
The greedy wolf star on behalf of Yuan Shao's rise was surprisingly bright, but the subtle Pang Degong still found that although this life star was brilliant, it was always shrouded in a layer of obscure dark clouds.
Liu Bei, who has risen in Guanzhong in recent years, represents the incorruptible star of the Big Dipper, and in the past year or so, it has been radiant and has the potential to envelop the northwest states.
And Han Lie, who was in the southeast, swept towards a comet in the sky, not only shining in the middle of the sky right now, but even the Ziwei Emperor Star had to retreat. Han Lie is undoubtedly the most incomprehensible existence for Huang Lao Taoist disciples such as Pang Degong and Sima Hui who are proficient in the science of astronomy and astrology, but they can never be ignored.
"Wenqu Douxing falls westward, and the eastern comet is from east to south, this is the pattern of great changes in the main Jingzhou, it seems that the catastrophe of Liu Jingzhou is coming, no wonder the water and the river are also panicked, and let us come to sacrifice in the dream, this is the endless egg under the nest." Pang Degong, who looked up to observe the stars, withdrew his gaze with a somewhat solemn face, and slowly deduced the predictions of the stars he had predicted.
"Pang Gong's intention, could it be that Jiangdong Han Lie sent troops to attack Sun Ce this time, but it was just a fake way to destroy Yu?" The three disciples who accompanied him, the slightly older disciple with a sword hanging from his waist, woke up and said with some hesitation.
"Han Lie is good at using strange soldiers, although he has been committed to the development of farming and commerce in Jiangdong over the years, but he has been trying his best to develop the navy, it is said that among his navy, there is a five-tooth warship, up to fifteen zhang, similar to a castle on the water, invincible, I am afraid that Liu Biao will really lure the wolf into the room this time." This would be an ugly-looking, short-looking young man who firmly expressed his opinion.
"Kong Ming, what do you think?" At this time, Sima Hui, who had not spoken, looked at Zhuge Liang, the youngest of the three disciples, and asked with a faint smile.
Although Zhuge Liang was not yet twenty years old, he was the top of a group of children in Lumen Academy, and at a young age, he was praised by Sima Hui as a talent in Wolong, and the ugly-looking young man just now was Pang Degong's subordinate Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan.
"It's not a secret, Liangzhi's eldest brother is now serving under Han Lie's account, although the eldest brother has not revealed any strategic deployment in Jiangdong, but from my brother's several letters a few years ago inviting me and Jundi to settle in Danyang, Liang can probably judge that Han Lie's strategic deployment is to guard the land of Lianghuai, use the river as a moat, and then attack Jingzhou or Yizhou, accumulate a certain strength, and then compete with all forces in the north for the general trend of the Central Plains."
From his defeat of Cao Cao, but gave up the attack on Yanzhou, it can be seen that he left Cao Ang in Yanzhou, not because he couldn't eat the other party, but because he didn't want to stand in the Central Plains that had already been eroded land, so as to become the object of attention of the princes of the world, from this point it can also be seen that this is a pragmatic person, it is said that he has a recruitment hall in all parts of Jiangdong, and each county has a county school private school. This kind of discipline has only been experienced in the hundreds of years of our Han Dynasty, and only when Emperor Xiaowu was there, but even Emperor Xiaowu was unable to suppress the dignitaries of the descendants, and in the end, only Confucianism was respected alone, which calmed down the grievances of all parties. ”
Zhuge Liang, who is a little immature, has a bright look in his eyes when he speaks, and he already has a bit of everyone's temperament between his gestures.
"This is the atmosphere of the founding of the country, if this person succeeds, my great man will be exhausted." When Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"The eldest husband should serve such a master, so that he can live up to what he has learned in his life." Pang Tong doesn't look short and has a strange appearance, but he is full of pride. He is not like Sima Hui who only wants to be a hermit, nor is he like his uncle Pang Degong, who only wants to farm and live in peace, his ambition since childhood is to assist a generation of Ming Lords and protect the world.
"Although the three of you have achieved success in their studies, they are still far from the distance from the national scholars, so they still stay in the academy and study hard for three years." Pang Degong saw a few young people, all of them arrogant, nodded at them lightly, and said: "Decao, the war in Xiangyang is coming, after going down the mountain tomorrow morning, order all the students to stay in the academy, and they are not allowed to leave the academy without the teacher's order." Although there is a disaster of war in Xiangyang, Nanzhang is hindered by the Han River, and it is expected that it can avoid a catastrophe. ”
"What Pang Gong is worried about is what he thinks." Sima Hui nodded happily. Sima Hui character Decao, originally Yingchuan people's clan, and later because of the continuous war disasters in Yingchuan, so they took refuge in Xiangyang Nanzhang, and had to be taken care of by Pang Degong.
Because Sima Hui is ten years younger than Pang Degong, Sima Hui often calls Pang Degong his brother, and the relationship between the two families is almost as close as a family, so that even if Pang Degong is not at home, Sima Hui goes to Pang Degong's house as a guest, and directly instructs Pang Degong's wife and daughter to cook a meal and wait for Pang Degong to come back to eat together.
Pang Degong instructed Xu Shu and the three of them to continue to study hard for three years, Zhuge Liang was very calm, although he was a person with his own opinions, but in this aspect of study, he had always listened to the opinions of Pang Degong and Sima Hui and others.
Xu Shu thought about his talent and ability, which was slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang Pang Tong, so he hurriedly responded: "Obey Mr.'s orders." ”
Pang Tong saw that his uncle had spoken, even if he had the heart to join the army, he didn't dare to make his own decisions anymore.
"By the way, Kong Ming, how did you think about the family affair I talked to you about earlier?" When returning to the thatched cottage where Banpo stayed from the top of the mountain, Pang Degong asked Zhuge Liang.
"Kong Ming, why should you consider this matter. Huang Chengyan's family is ugly, although the appearance is a little weird, but she is a clever woman, and you complement each other, besides, the Huang family is a famous family in Jingzhou, Huang Chengyan's guy is such a daughter, if he marries his daughter to you, he must not use half of the family business as a dowry? ”
Pang Tong also knew about this, and Zhuge Liang couldn't reply, but he smiled back first, but when he saw Zhuge Liang's eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Kong Mingdon't be angry, how can I not know that you have always regarded money as dung?" However, in addition to Huang Chou's appearance, he is indeed excellent in other aspects, if it weren't for Huang Chengyan's old widower who couldn't look down on me, I would have married Augly. ”
"The gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and Liang doesn't dare to compete with Brother Shiyuan." Zhuge Liang grimaced and replied with a long bow.
It is true that Huang Chengyan is a famous man in Jingzhou, and he is also a relative of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, because Huang Chengyan's second wife is the cousin of Liu Biao's wife Cai, that is, the daughter of Uncle Cai Mao. It can be said that for ordinary scholars and literati, marrying Huang Chengyan's daughter is undoubtedly on a fast track, and overnight it is definitely fame, fortune and wealth.
But Zhuge Liang prides himself on being incomparably talented, so he naturally disdains such nepotism, so he has rejected Huang Chengyan once, but this Huang Chengyan is persevering, and he actually dragged people to the door one after another to say goodbye, this time even Pang Degong spoke, and he really didn't know how to open his mouth for a while.
"Kong Ming don't be embarrassed, Huang Chengyan is not Liu Biao who is suspicious of himself, let alone Cai Mao and others with a jackal heart, the reason why he repeatedly asks people to say kiss is indeed to take a fancy to Kong Ming's talent, if you really don't want to, he won't force persecution." Pang Degong waved his hand lightly, comforting Zhuge Liang, and then said: "One thing Shi Yuan is not wrong, Ah Chou is indeed a clever and intelligent woman, if you can marry her, this woman will definitely be your virtuous helper, you have to think about this point clearly." ”
"Mr.'s words, Liang remembered in his heart, but the marriage event, Liang did not dare to accept it, after all, the eldest brother is outside, this matter Liang must be prophetic, if the brother agrees, Liang should agree to this family business." Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, and finally relented.
"Good, good, good!" When Sima Hui heard this, he couldn't help but stroke his palm and said yes again and again, which also shows that he obviously also approves of this family business.
Xiangyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.
When he saw that his face was full of wind and frost, and he came back to Yi and Liu Xian in embarrassment, Liu Biao was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, why is this so?" ”
"Lord, please send troops to rescue General Zhang and General Liu quickly." After Liu Xian saluted, he knelt on the ground and shouted.
"W-What the hell is going on?" Liu Biao, who was in the unknown office, saw Liu Xian crying and fell to the ground, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask the Yi Yuan on the side.
"Returning to the lord, all this is Han Lie's trick, he borrowed the identity of an ally, after leading the army into Chibi, he sent Gan Ning, who had already secretly surrendered him, to attack Jiangling City, and then lured the soldiers and horses of General Zhang and General Liu to Luo County, the two generals did not doubt him, so they led the army to Luo County to rendezvous, leaving General Wen Ping to lead 5,000 men and horses to garrison the mouth of the Youjiang River, responsible for the transfer of grain and grass in the rear, and the two of us assisted General Wen in charge of military affairs." Speaking of this, Yi Yuan paused slightly, swallowed his dry throat, and continued: "Unexpectedly, as soon as the two generals led the army into Luo County, Han Lie led the army to surround Luo County, fortunately, General Liu Pan sent his subordinates Huang Zhong to risk his life to fight out of the siege and rushed to the mouth of the oil river to report. ”
"It's really hateful that the shaft is so treacherous." Liu Biao, who learned what had happened, scolded angrily and immediately shouted: "Immediately send Cai Mao and Kuai Yue brothers to discuss the matter." (To be continued.) )
