Chapter 318: Brothers
readx;
In the autumn of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, the world danced in the smoke and dust, and it would vaguely end with the gorgeous scene of Liu Bei being the king. However www.biquge.info Liu Bei is not a director, and some people don't want Liu Bei to end his role this year satisfactorily.
On this day at the end of autumn, a horse came to the dust, crossed the rugged Qinling Valley Road, stepped through the fertile plains of Hanzhong, rushed into Nanzheng, passed through the lively street market, and used that 100,000 urgent information to disrupt the light song and dance in the palace of Hanzhong.
"King Qiyu, Cao Ying has raised an army of 100,000 in Yecheng, preparing to enter Guanzhong west and enter Chang'an."
The sound of the spies overshadowed the sound of the bell and the harp that was in the wonderful place, and everyone heard it in the great hall.
Most of the expressions were shocked, and even Liu Bei's eyes flashed a little surprise, but it was only a matter of a moment. With a slight wave of his hand, the dancers in the hall retreated one after another, and there was silence in the hall.
Liu Bei looked around at the ministers and said, "Everyone, Cao Ying has already raised troops and entered the customs, what do you think?" ”
"Hmph, the old thief Cao called himself the Duke of Wei, and was thinking about being under one person, above ten thousand, and he didn't think that in a few days, he heard that the king called the king of Hanzhong, and suddenly he overshadowed him, this old thief is probably annoyed and angry, and he wants to come to ask the king for an explanation."
Pang Tong's words were quite joking, and there was a burst of laughter among the ministers, and the silent atmosphere eased somewhat.
Fa Zheng smiled and said: "Cao Ying heard that the king won Hanzhong and threatened Guanlong, and it was expected that he would raise troops to come, and we don't have to lie." ”
At this time, a person from the seat came out of the queue and said angrily: "The Cao thief came just right, the king, why don't we go out of Qinchuan and fight to the death with the Cao thief. ”
The person who generously invited the battle was Ma Chao.
As soon as Ma Chao asked for battle, Huang Zhong couldn't sit still, and he hurriedly said: "The previous king was sympathetic to the old minister, and did not let the old minister go to take the three eastern counties. ”
Ma Chao is for revenge, Huang Zhong is for merit, the two generals are so full of combat power, Liu Bei can't help but show relief.
Fa Zheng continued: "Now it has been nearly a year since the pacification of Hanzhong, the people's hearts have been attached, and between Longyou, there are still Han Sui and Song Jian in resisting Xiahou Yuan, if the king is out of Longyou at this time, then Xiliang can be at his fingertips, and although Cao Ying personally led the army to Chang'an to sit in the town, but Xiliang is in danger for me, and Cao Ying can not do anything." ”
If it is said that when fighting Hanzhong, Fa Zheng raised his hands and praised it, then when he beat Guan Long, Fa Zheng raised his hands and feet in favor, it is no wonder that he returned to his hometown in all directions, in other words, no one will be enthusiastic if he does not need to mobilize.
Ma Chao and Fa Zheng's statements mean that the Guanlong scholars support the Northern Expedition, not to mention the Jingzhou scholars, it was originally an established national policy that they had already set up for Qinchuan. However, the significance of this Northern Expedition is very different from the past, it will be a head-on battle with Cao Ying's entire northern country, and if you want to win, you must mobilize all the human and material resources of the two states, including the support of the Yizhou scholars in the third class.
At this time, without Liu Bei's proposal, Zhuge Liang said: "If the king and Cao Ying compete for Yongliang, they must do all the troops of Yizhou, and the minister suggested that Huang Gongheng and Zhang Gongyi should lead the troops of Chengdu to the north to reinforce Hanzhong." ”
Huang Quan and Zhang Rennai are the representatives of Yizhou scholars, humanities and martial arts, and the transfer of them to Hanzhong naturally means that the power of the indigenous scholars of Yizhou will be mobilized.
This is exactly what Liu Bei wanted, so he nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is very true, then ask the military division of Kong Ming to go back to Chengdu to guard, transfer more grain and grass into Hanzhong, and go back with the edict of Lone by the way, so that the two of them will bring troops to Hanzhong to help in the war." ”
For such a big event, all the important civil and military officers have expressed their opinions, Fang Shao naturally can't help but say a few words to show his important surname, so he coughed lightly twice, and said: "King, although our army is strong now, but Cao Ying has raised the army of the country, if you want to deal with it, it will not be easy, we must concentrate all our forces to deal with Cao Ying." And at this time, it happened to give Dongwu an opportunity to take advantage of, and Jingzhou had to be guarded against. ”
Fang Shao calmly raised his concerns, and Liu Bei said: "Zhongzheng reminds that Cao Ying's troops have entered Guanzhong in the west, and Hefei is naturally empty, if Sun Quan can take the opportunity to raise troops to attack Hefei, it can not only make Cao Ying suffer from the enemy on both sides, but also reduce the pressure on our side, well, we should send someone to Dongwu for a trip." ”
Fang Shao had an idea, and said: "The minister has a suitable candidate, and he is expected to win or lose the post of envoy to Eastern Wu." ”
Liu Bei asked who it was, and Fang Shao said: "The person recommended by Shao, surnamed Fei Mingyi Wenwei, this person has outstanding eloquence and extraordinary knowledge, and he will be able to take on this important responsibility." ”
Fang Shao recommended Jiang Wan before, and this time he recommended Fei Yi, these two people succeeded Zhuge Liang in history after the Shu Han regime, this Fei Yi in history, it is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, so he was favored by Zhuge Liang and listed as his second successor after a hundred years. And what Fang Shao did was just dig this gold out of the sand in advance, so that he could shine as soon as possible and do his best for Liu Bei's great cause.
Zhuge Liang also said: "Wen Wei does have some talent for eloquence, and Liang thinks that the person recommended by Zhongzheng is feasible." ”
Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Liang also agreed, so he said: "Okay, according to Zhongzheng's recommendation, this time I will send Wen Wei to envoy Dongwu to discuss the matter of attacking Cao Ying on two fronts." ”
At this time, Pang Tong sneered: "The king's thoughts are good, but we have also seen Sun Quan's short-sightedness, but I am afraid that he still remembers the revenge of Jingzhou's defeat, and Baba is waiting to take the opportunity to make another plot." ”
Liu Bei frowned slightly, and before he could speak, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Jingzhou's current military situation is not the same as before, our army occupies important places such as Baqiu and Lukou, and Dongwu has to weigh it even if he wants to make up his mind." Liang believes that as long as he can benefit Sun Quanxiao, he will never be so stupid. Also, didn't Zhongzheng have a marriage contract with Miss Sun before, and this time Wen Wei's trip to Dongwu happened to agree on the date of this marriage. ”
Fang Shao was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to put forward the marriage between himself and Sun Shangxiang so calmly in front of many people, which made him a little meaningful.
When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, if the military advisor doesn't mention it, he will forget about it, Zhongzheng, you just wait to marry a wife." ”
Liu Bei deliberately accentuated the word "Jiao Wife", of course everyone present knew that Sun Shangxiang had nothing to do with the word "Jiao", and the words of the King of Hanzhong obviously meant to joke with Fang Shao, so there was another burst of laughter in the hall.
Fang Shao was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and smiled helplessly: "The king doesn't have to make fun of the ministers." ”
Liu Bei laughed, and said: "Okay, Wen Wei's matter is so decided, you guys will prepare as soon as possible after you go down, and it won't be long before we have a big fight with Cao Thief." ”
Liu Bei temporarily stayed in Hanzhong and prepared for war, while Zhuge Liang went back to Chengdu first, urging Huang Quan and others to lead the army north to Hanzhong.
Jianye, Zhou Yufu.
The weather is getting colder, looking at the dead leaves in the courtyard, Xiao Qiao was in a daze, and in her mind, her husband's voice and appearance unconsciously appeared.
It's been four or five years since he's gone.
"Ahh
Xiao Qiao sighed, she felt a little cold, and was about to enter the house, at this time, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly entered, with a happy smile on her face, and flew to her like a swallow.
"Little sister, look at you like this, isn't there something happy?" Before she arrived, Xiao Qiao guessed seven or eight points.
Sun Shangxiang took Xiao Qiao's hand and said excitedly: "Sister, have you heard, the envoy of the King of Hanzhong has arrived in Jianye." ”
Xiao Qiao knew why she was happy, but she didn't say anything, and only smiled lightly: "The King of Hanzhong and the Marquis of Wu are allies, and it is normal to send an envoy to communicate with her." ”
Sun Shangxiang's face flushed slightly, lowered his head and smiled: "This time is different, I sent someone to inquire, the surname Fei came back, in addition to being good, he also said that he would discuss with the second brother about my marriage with him......
Sun Shangxiang was a little embarrassed, and paused for a moment before saying the word "marriage".
Xiao Qiao looked relieved and sighed: "If this is the case, it will be a really happy event, you and him have gone through so many twists and turns, and you can finally have a lover and finally become a family." ”
Sun Shangxiang was really overjoyed, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the housekeeper Ah Fu hurriedly came, saying that Wu Hou suddenly came and said that he was coming to visit her.
Xiao Qiao was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Why is Wu Hou here, little sister, come with me to greet you." ”
Sun Shangxiang said: "I didn't see him, I was afraid that he would laugh at me about this matter, so I hid in the back hall first, and when he left, I would come out and talk to my sister about it." ”
Xiao Qiao thought about it, so she left it to her, and was about to go out to greet her, but she didn't take a few steps, but saw that Sun Quan had already strode into the courtyard.
Xiao Qiao bowed down and said lightly: "The concubine doesn't know that the lord is coming, and she misses the distance, and she hopes that the lord will forgive her sins." ”
"Hurry up and excuse yourself."
Sun Quan's expression was full of concern, and he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to help her, and touched Xiao Qiao's slender jade hand with one palm.
Xiao Qiao's body was shocked, how could he expect Wu Hou to suddenly have such a rude behavior, but he didn't know whether he was intentional or unintentional, so he had to show his indifference at the moment, and took a small step back seemingly casually, and pulled his hand out.
Sun Quan took his hand back and stared at Xiao Qiao with a smile, with a strange look in his eyes.
"How did the Lord remember this?" In order to hide the embarrassment in his heart, Xiao Qiao hurriedly found a topic.
Sun Quan smiled and said, "Lone came back from outside the city, and when he passed by, he wanted to come in and see you." ”
Zhou Yu's mansion is far away from Wu Houjun's mansion, Sun Quan has no way to enter the city from any gate, and he will never pass by, he is obviously lying.
In Xiao Qiao's heart, an ominous premonition vaguely swelled up.
