Chapter 19 [Negotiation of the Four Counties]
“zzz…”
In the military tent, Zhou Han and Fang Hua were so drunk that they fell asleep, this night they ate and drank directly until the second half of the night, and now Zhao Yun went to seize Xiangyang, and Zhou Yu, the first person in Jiangdong, was in a coma, Nanjun City was temporarily worry-free, Zhou Han dared to fall asleep after being so drunk, otherwise in this case, if the enemy attacked, it is estimated that Zhou Han should be regarded as the second black nest drunkard...
The guards outside the tent found that there was no sound inside, knowing that the two were asleep, and there was no movement, so the guards walked in cautiously, for fear that the movement would wake up the two of them, and the guards around Zhou Han were very loyal to him, but they were not afraid of anything, the guards were afraid that carrying these two drunks to sleep would wake them up, so they just took two quilts and covered them, and then quietly withdrew and guarded outside the tent...
When Zhou Han sent the soldiers to report the victory at the mouth of the oil river, the sky was already white, obviously the day was almost dawn, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were busy all night, so far they have not rested, still in the big tent, in addition to the two of them, only Liu Bei's personal guard captain Chen Zhi is there, and the other soldiers are resting, at this time the camp is silent except for the slight noise made by the guards and patrol soldiers, but the silence was broken by a loud victory in the next moment: "Great victory... Nanjun City Good News..."
Hearing this good news, some of the ordinary soldiers in the battalion woke up, and some continued to sleep again, after all, this is the officer's business, and they don't need to worry about it!
The soldier entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't sleep all night, saying that he was not worried about the battle of Nanjun, it was impossible, although Zhuge Liang's strategy was unparalleled, and every time he came out, it was always a little worrying to take the city between Cao Ren and Zhou Yu, the former was famous in the world, Cao Yingxiao was both wise and brave, not to mention the latter, the first person in Jiangdong had a very high wisdom, and it was not easy to grab food between these two tigers, but whenever he saw the appearance of the military advisor Zhuge Liang in his chest, Liu Bei would feel a lot more at ease, Now that I heard the report of the battle of Nanjun finally came, and there was no accident, as Zhuge Liang planned, he successfully captured the city, and looked at the soldiers who came in to report the victory below: "Nanjun really took it?" ”
The soldier held a battle report in both hands: "Lord Yu, the battle of Nanjun has been successfully captured as expected by the military division, this is the battle report sent by General Zhou to the villain!" ”
"Okay" Liu Bei was confirmed, and he smiled at the moment, but after a while, he finally restrained his joy and said, "Submit the battle report." Chen behind him went down, took the battle report, handed it to Liu Bei, and then stood back...
Liu Bei unfolded it and said with a smile: "Zilong Ziqiguo didn't disappoint me. It's just..."
It's like saying this sentence to myself, but it's just a moment, and I didn't say it anymore. Liu Bei turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, handed him the battle report and said, "Let's take a look at the military division, thanks to the military division's plan this time, we can successfully take Nanjun." ”
"The lord has said it, thanks to the courage of the soldiers...", Zhuge Liang took the battle report and looked at it, just unfolded it, and suddenly his expression became surprised, he finally understood what Liu Bei was, Zhuge Liang had seen such a ghostly battle report, he felt angry and funny, and at the same time puzzled, with Zhou Han's talent, the font was actually written so sloppily, and he didn't find someone to write it, but fortunately, he could still read between the lines.
After a moment of Zhuge Liang's reading, a wisp of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect to catch Cao Ren and a few people, but the lord, as said in the Ziqi war report, Cao Ren can't be killed, and he can't stay, if he kills, Cao Ying will definitely immediately raise the army in person to avenge Cao Ren, maybe Cao Ying will also take the opportunity to unite with Dongwu to deal with our army, and although our army is now bound to occupy Jingzhou, but don't forget that our army is still a little behind the northern and southern armies at this time, not to mention that the people of the newly seized city are unstable, and it will definitely be a vicious battle at that time, so Cao Ren can't kill, But if you let it go, it is tantamount to returning to the mountain, but as Ziqi said, Cao Ren was used as a hostage to exchange for supplies from Cao Ying. Zhuge Liang said his analysis one by one, and after weighing the pros and cons, how could Liu Bei not understand the reason, and said with a smile: "What the military advisor said is, what should we do next?" ”
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Lord, now that Nanjun has been taken, we can move the army into Nanjun, and the good news of Yunchang to take Jiangling is also coming soon, as for Zilong, there is a military charm to deceive the city, and it is even easier to take Xiangyang, we can go to Nanjun, wait for the good news, and then plot to Changsha Guiyang and other four counties, as the foundation of the main public, rest the people and raise the army for a few years, consolidate the city, so that the northern and southern armies dare not covet!" ”
Liu Bei was fascinated, as if Jingzhou had been in his hands, and the four counties were already in the bag! Hearing that Zhuge Liang didn't continue, Liu Bei came back to his senses and said: "Fortunately, there are military advisors to help, otherwise there would be no preparation." ”
"Don't dare, Liang is just doing his best..."Zhuge Liang was humble for a while. Then Liu Bei ordered the whole army to go to Nanjun to garrison troops...
※※※※※※
"General, general, wake up..." A guard pushed Zhou Han, trying to wake him up, but it took a long time for Zhou Han to open his eyes and say, "What's wrong, crayfish." Zhou Han gave people a nickname indiscriminately, and the crayfish said truthfully: "General, it's noon now, and the lord is now in the county mansion, summoning the general to discuss the military situation." ”
Zhou Han had no choice but to get up, but he let his eyes go and told others that this guy hadn't slept enough. The crayfish smiled bitterly and said, "General, the lord has been waiting for a long time. ”
When Zhou Han heard this, his drowsiness disappeared and he said, "Why don't you tell me earlier, quickly, get ready to wash!" ”
"It's already for the general." The crayfish said, asking the person behind him to come up. Zhou Han was done with five divided by two, at this time Fang Hua was also woken up by this series of movements, and stood aside after getting up, Zhou Han said: "Fang Hua, now that I am going to the county government, you first familiarize yourself with the camp, crayfish, Fang Hua is your boss!" Let him arrange everything. ”
"Yes" The two agreed, Zhou Han put on his armor, got out of the tent, and rode his mount to the county government...
After Zhou Han drove the horse to the county government, he dismounted and went straight in, as for the horse, there were soldiers to take care of it, and when he arrived in the hall, he entered it, and saw that all the generals were there, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Liao Hua, Guan Ping, Yu Ban, and the newly descended civil servants were also among them, and the other civil officials were Liu Bei's old team, so I won't list them, seeing that only he was the latest, Zhou Han smiled embarrassedly, saluted everyone, and said: "Lord, the cold is late, please surrender the lord." ”
Liu Bei laughed: "Ziqi is still greedy for sleep in the end, what a crime, come and take a seat." Zhou Han walked to the rank of generals and sat down on an empty seat under Zhao Yun...
Liu Bei's eyes opened and closed a wisp of essence flashed, making it difficult for people to notice, obviously a scheming old fox, seeing that everyone had arrived, he said: "Princess, now that most of Jingzhou is in the hands of our army, it is advisable to take Guiyang and other four counties as the rear of our army, and the generals can have the courage to take the city!" ”
Seeing that Liu Bei was so tentative to ask questions, the generals were in high spirits, their fighting spirit was high, and they said:
"Willing to serve the Lord!"
"The little four counties are not enough, Yu alone can take the four counties in a row" Guan Gong is worthy of being a martial saint, this courage, this arrogance is very comparable.
Zhang Fei was also majestic, glaring at everyone: "No one is allowed to fight with me, I am determined to lead the troops and take down the four counties for the eldest brother" Zhou Han smiled: "Yide, you can't say that, you can earn it together if you have merit, and you will bear it together, although Han is not talented, she is also willing to serve the lord." ”
Zhang Feihu stood up, blew his beard and glared: "Han boy, you dare to compete with me..."
"What's wrong with you, Brother Fei, didn't your wife just give birth to a niece named Xingcai for you, it's better for you to spend more time with your wife and daughter" Zhou Han was not to be outdone!
Zhang Fei was about to say something more, but Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Okay, Yide, don't fight, let's listen to the arrangement of the lord and the military advisor." ”
Liu Bei's audience will rush to go out, a little big, it turns out that there are many fierce generals who also have this kind of headache, and when they heard Zhao Yun say this, Liu Bei showed a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze and said: "Princess, don't be impatient, and listen to the arrangement of the military division." ”
Liu Bei smiled and led the topic to Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was smiling from beginning to end, shaking the feather fan gently, the wise eyes that encompassed all things and understood all the opportunities of heaven and earth, flashed with confidence, and slowly said: "How to take down the four counties, Liang has a plan, but before taking the four counties, we must stabilize the current territory of our army to prevent the enemy, and there must be a famous general to deter the eight directions!" ”
After a pause, looking at the eager eyes of everyone, Zhuge Liang continued: "Yun Chang has followed the lord since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Wen Jiu beheaded Huaxiong, White Horse beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, passed five levels and killed six generals, no one can be defeated, its prestige is the most of the generals under the lord's command, if it makes its troops defend Xiangyang, then there is no need to worry about the future, the lord can lead the soldiers to capture the four counties with peace of mind, I don't know if Yun Chang is willing to take on this heavy responsibility." ”
Zhuge Liang first made a sycophant and made Guan Yu comfortable, and then said that he would guard Xiangyang! Sure enough, with Guan Yu's invincible arrogance in the world, the kind of person who is arrogant to the bone marrow, was praised by this, Chongzao's face turned red again, and he nodded: "In this way, Guan will guard Xiangyang." ”
Seeing that Guan Yu happily responded, Liu Bei smiled and said: "Okay, there is a second brother guarding the rear, I have no worries to worry about" praised Guan Yu, and then Liu Bei ordered Liao Hua, Mi Fang, Fu Shiren and others to assist Guan Yu in guarding the city. Now that the candidates for the rear guards have been decided, Liu Bei began to ask how to capture the four counties. Zhuge Liang had already expected this question, and replied unhurriedly: "The lord can concentrate his forces, take Wuling County first, open the road to attack the remaining three counties, connect the rear armaments and materials, and then order the three generals to divide the army to take the remaining three counties, and then the entire territory of Jingzhou will be owned by the lord." ”
"Okay, let's follow the military plan." Liu Bei made a decision and issued an order to immediately send troops to attack Wuling.
