Just after noon, the wharf, which had been quiet for half an hour, was noisy again, and thousands of soldiers and civilians began to build the wharf again, and the wheelbarrows carrying mud and stone came and went, and the sound of mixing mortar and sledgehammers bombarding stones was resounding, except for the hot and windy dirt slope south of the wharf.
The dishes and chopsticks on the big wooden box have been removed, and the careful Duwei Xu Yan brought a few bowls of tea from nowhere, Liu Cun politely invited everyone to feel free, drank the bitter tea, and put down the bowl with bright eyes:
"This tea is made of Kuding tea leaves, usually grown in the north and south of the river or further south of Jiaozhou, has the special effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, can prevent malaria, drive away miasma, I asked the caravan to look for a long time did not find, I didn't expect to meet in this place, Xu Yan, go ask where you got it? If possible, a large number of acquisitions, we need this thing in our army, especially the water army. ”
"Understood!" Xu Yan hurriedly went out to find the traveling doctor among the people.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu took a bowl and tasted it, and found that it was really bitter, so they immediately believed Liu Cun's statement, and smiled admiringly: "It is awe-inspiring for adults to think of the safety of the soldiers in the army from a bowl of bitter tea!" ”
Liu Cun didn't say this, smiled and asked, "Has Brother Xuande ever studied under Lord Lu Zhi, the great Confucian of the current dynasty?" ”
Liu Bei seemed to have touched the pain in his heart, and replied in a low voice with a faint sigh: "Liu Bei is incompetent, ashamed of his teacher, since the eradication of the Yellow Turban in the second year of Zhongping, he has been tossing and turning, accomplishing nothing, and almost causing a catastrophe, and he will never see his teacher again!" ”
Liu Cun shook his head slightly: "Brother Xuande is too modest, if Master Lu knows Brother Xuande's outstanding achievements in Gaotang now, as well as the good official reputation praised by the people, he will definitely be happy!" ”
Liu Bei immediately understood that Liu Cun knew his details, and a strong uneasiness hit his heart.
How do you know that Liu Cun asked again: "Brother Xuande and General Gongsun Zan are classmates and friends, right?" ”
Liu Bei's heart was suddenly shocked, and he immediately explained: "My lord, although my subordinates learned from the mouths of the Jizhou refugees who kept fleeing that General Gongsun led the Jizhou army to retreat to the west of Ganling (now south of Qinghe County, Xingtai City) to the line of Guangzong, but there has been no contact so far, and I don't know what he is doing at the moment, Liu Bei is very worried in his heart. ”
Liu Cun smiled again: "Brother Xuande, don't get me wrong, although I have never met General Gongsun Bogui, I have been famous for a long time and admire it deeply, and this time I came to discuss the ensuing battle with Brother Xuande." ”
Next, Liu Cun informed Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of the Jizhou Assassin Han Fu's clan brother Han Ju who came to ask for help, and the Assassin Mansion had officially decided to aid Jizhou, and finally explained earnestly to Liu Bei, who couldn't hide his anticipation, and finally explained earnestly to Liu Bei, who couldn't hide his expectation:
"This time I came with Ziyi and Junyi, just to prepare for sending troops to attack the Wuhuan cavalry army in the west, the water and land departments of our army stationed in the plains have begun to act quietly, and assemble in phases and batches to the plain city, unfortunately, General Gongsun has not sent anyone to contact me so far, I want to help him with military food and ordnance I don't know where to send, more importantly, the Jizhou army led by General Gongsun is stationed within a hundred miles west of our Gaotang, if our army wants to attack the Wuhuan cavalry, we must cooperate closely with General Gongsun!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were thrilled when they heard this, and their excitement was unbearable, and their blazing eyes were cast on the face of their eldest brother Liu Bei.
Liu Bei couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, Huo Ran stood up and said loudly: "Liu Bei is willing to serve the adults and horses!" ”
Liu Cun hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Brother Xuande, don't be so polite, you always stand up and sit down, it's a waste of time and don't say anything, it's also very tiring." ”
Tai Shici and Zhang He couldn't help laughing, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and sat down generously with Liu Cungong.
Zhang Fei laughed: "Adults have a temper with me and Lao Zhang, this is the demeanor that a manly man should have, unlike those pedantic scribes, who are not big officials and always like to put on a big show." ”
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he continued to scold the corrupt officials in the world without concealment, so anxious that Liu Bei kept puffing his eyes at him, and Tai Shici and Zhang He smiled even more happily when they saw this.
Seeing Zhang Fei sit down obediently in Liu Bei's whispered reprimand, Liu Cun smiled and continued to return to the topic: "Let's continue what we just said, Brother Xuande has followed Lu Shi for many years, and he must be familiar with my Han Dynasty law, without the dispatch order of the Holy Lord and the imperial court, my Qingzhou soldiers cannot cross the border to fight, even if they are assembled in the border area, it is taboo, this time, for the sake of the overall situation, our army plans to quietly cross the border area west of the plain, and suddenly attack the Wuhuan cavalry under the command of the traitor Zhang Ju, which is the ultimate that can be done at the moment, but once the Wuhuan cavalry avoids the edge of our army, Shrink rapidly to the west, our army's overall plan will fail, and the 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers can only stand at the junction of Qingdao and Hebei, unable to form a joint attack with General Gongsun Zhan, and lose the excellent opportunity to defeat Zhang Ju's more than 100,000 troops! ”
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei immediately understood the great significance of Liu Cun's battle plan, and they all became anxious about the possible failure of this plan.
Seeing this, Liu Cun added to the fire: "As long as our army works closely with General Gongsun, I dare not say that we can completely defeat Zhang Ju's army of more than 100,000 people, at least we can win precious time for General Gongsun, and the crisis in the north and west of Qingzhou will also be alleviated, and our Qingzhou army will be able to draw tens of thousands of troops from the north and west to quickly go south, and have a decisive battle with the haunting Taishan Yellow Turban!" ”
Liu Bei didn't say a word and immediately said: "What is the dispatch of the adults, even if you show it, the three Liu Bei brothers are only the first to look forward!" ”
Liu Cun was overjoyed: "Okay! With the help of Brother Xuande, Brother Yun, and Brother Yide, Zhang Ju's traitors and the Wuhuan beasts who burned, killed and looted will definitely not return! Zhao Li, map! ”
Zhao Li, who joined the army in the guard battalion, took out the map in the leather tube, and Zhang He and others removed the tea bowl with all hands and feet.
When the map was rolled out, Liu Cun pointed to the official road west of the Gaotang Dynasty and the rear camp of Gongsun Zan on the map, and said his plan: "This road leads directly to the rear camp of General Gongsun, and the whole journey is only seventy-two miles, but unfortunately it needs to pass through a ferry and two small rivers, and our army's chariots and horses cannot transport grain, grass and ordnance to General Gongsun through this safe road, so they can only rely on the big river in the south to transport it, so I would like to ask Xuande to go to Ganling first, bring my official letter to contact Mr. Gongsun, and tell General Gongsun the original plan of our army, and ask him for his opinion. Whether it is feasible or not, or if General Gongsun has a better suggestion, he will immediately send someone back to discuss. This matter is extraordinary, if you let someone else go, and don't say whether General Gongsun believes it or not, whether it is relieved, even I am not at ease! ”
Liu Bei stood up suddenly: "My lord, Liu Bei is willing to go, as long as the general allows Liu Bei to bring two hundred county soldiers under his command!" ”
Liu Cun immediately waved his hand: "How can two hundred be enough?" Although my Qingzhou soldiers can't leave the country, there are thousands of Jizhou people who have lost their homes outside the Gaotang City, and there are at least thousands of soldiers from all over Jizhou who have escaped. Recruit now! I'll bring you a thousand sets of armor and ordnance, a hundred war horses, and enough food and grass, Brother Xuande can just let it go!" ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were suddenly ecstatic, and they couldn't help but clench their fists with blazing eyes.
Liu Bei almost couldn't believe his eyes and ears, he was stunned for a long time, and tears slowly welled up in his eyes: "My lord is so righteous, Liu Bei doesn't know how to repay it!" Please accept Liu Bei's worship! ”
"Please accept my brother's bow!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood behind Liu Bei in two steps and bowed deeply to Liu Cun together.
Liu Cun hurriedly stepped forward to hold Liu Bei's hand, instructed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei not to be so polite, and then took Liu Bei's hand and sat down again, pointed to the map and gave another advice, and finally gave out the two emergency plans.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had never seen such a thorough battle plan, and they were amazed by Liu Cun's in-depth and detailed analysis of the battle situation, endless strategies, and careful and proper arrangements, Guan Yu sighed on the spot: "I finally understand why the Langya army has never been defeated!" ”
The ambitious Liu Bei saw Liu Cun's paddle sail to the north shore, and he no longer had any worries in his heart, and immediately took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to the county office, wrote a recruitment notice and posted it loudly.
