"Nanjun City can't be attacked for a long time, what can I do in vain? Everybody! Is there a good way to share my worries? Liu Bei furrowed his brows and looked up at the dark image in the night, it was Nanjun City, and it was dormant like a wild beast in the night; Your Majesty! I just think it's a little abnormal! Zhuge Liang felt an inexplicable crisis, and he couldn't tell what conspiracy Cao Jun had for a while, so although he was worried, he didn't know the point; It stands to reason that our army's 300,000 troops, if you count the nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Guiyang, Wuling and other places, which means that our defense in Hanzhong, Xiliang, Yongzhou and other places is weak, and Yongliang is even weaker to the extreme, but Cao's army did not move after the 1560,000 troops in Tongguan occupied Chang'an; Gao Shun neither sent troops nor retreated, hesitating in the Chang'an area, it stands to reason that he should attack, otherwise he will miss the opportunity! There are also Fancheng areas, Cao's soldiers and horses have been transferred, Xiahou Yuan stationed in Shangdang and Hanoi, Xu Huang in Xuzhou, and even Wei Yan in Youzhou, Ma Chao and Cao Zhang in Xuchang all came under banners; gathered more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, but they also stood still, stopped and watched in the Fancheng area, and had no intention of sending troops to rescue at all, you must know that Nanjun is now a lonely city! The hundreds of thousands of troops in the city are surrounded by our army, this is too abnormal, right? ”

Liu Bei was speechless: "Tsk! That's right! Jiujiang County and Lujiang County are also stationed in Zang Ba's seventy or eighty thousand troops, and they are also indifferent! Are they going to sit back and watch Li Huaide die here?

Maybe he wanted to save but couldn't? Li Huaide is too famous and has too many henchmen, which caused Cao Pi's dissatisfaction, right? The young emperor was eager to show that he hated being restrained, and Li Huaide was the one who could restrain him, and he naturally "

"Your Majesty means the Meritorious Lord?" , Zhuge Liang shook his head: "This should be unlikely!" Li Huaide's relationship with their Cao family is deep-rooted, not only their Cao family's uncle, but he is also the husband of Cao Pi and countless Cao generals, and he has the grace to preach and solve their doubts."

"Emperors have been the most ruthless since ancient times! Who can understand? Li Huaide's fame is that even Cao Cao can't suppress it, let alone his son, Cao Pi feels the crisis, and it's not impossible to do this kind of thing! Use hundreds of thousands of Cao Jun to accompany Li Huaide as a funeral? That's a lot of money! ", Liu Bei muttered; Hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers should be buried with them? Zhuge Liang muttered a few times, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Your Majesty!" Chen thought of a possibility! ”；“ Oh? Liu Bei asked with interest: "What is possible to say?" ”

"More than ten days ago, Cao's army suddenly divided its troops, about fifty or sixty thousand people, and had been wandering in the Zhijiang area, but suddenly they fell silent! Gone! What if! What about them damming the river? Zhuge Liang emphasized if; Damming the river? It's mid-July, and the rainy season is almost here at this time of year! If this is really the case, the first unlucky person is the hundreds of thousands of Cao Jun in Nanjun City! The second thing is that we won't, right? Hundreds of thousands of Cao troops, are they injured? Liu Bei shook his head in disbelief and smiled: "Kong Ming is too worried!" ”

Zhuge Liang said stubbornly: "The minister thinks that Li Huaide is not very human, he is capable and resolute, wise and brave, and ruthless!" Millions of people can be killed, let alone hundreds of thousands? The minister suggested sending cavalry to inspect the river upstream, and if this was the case, he must be dealt with as soon as possible! ”

Liu Bei stared at Zhuge Liang and found that his face was serious and did not seem to be fake, and after a moment of silence: "Pass the order!" Lead Yan Xing to lead 50,000 Qiang cavalry to check along the bank of the Zhijiang River! If there is a situation, report it quickly! ”

"Your Majesty! Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu, ordered someone to send a letter! The herald respectfully presented the letterhead, and Liu Bei laughed when he saw it: "This Zhou Yu is a scheming person!" Kong Ming, let's see if it's feasible? ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at it a few times: "Maybe!" How do you know if you don't try? Zhou Yu's plan was very simple, to take soil and build high platforms in the four corners of Nanjun City, so that the soldiers could condescendingly release arrows, so as to suppress the Cao army in Nanjun City, so as to attack the city, and the casualties would be reduced;

"Sir! The Shu-Wu coalition has moved! Li Tong came to report in a whisper, Guo Jia closed his eyes and looked tired, and opened his eyes when he heard the words: "Say it!" What kind of conspiracy are they doing again! ”

"Early this morning, a cavalry of the Shu State battalion suddenly pulled out and disappeared, and the banner was the banner of Yongzhou Yanxing! At least 50,000 people! Also, the Shu-Wu coalition army ordered the soldiers to take soil and build a high platform in the four corners of Nanjun City, and the intention is unknown! Li Tong reported the situation in detail; Guo Jia pondered for a moment: "Don't worry about the affairs of that cavalry, Huaide will solve it!" Now you also gather the sergeants to take soil and build a high platform in the middle of the southern county town, the most important thing is to be fast! Hasn't Nanjun Town been uninhabited for a long time? Demolish the house, tear down the wall, and be sure to build a high platform as quickly as possible! Then transport the trebuchet to the top! Hey! ”

Li Tong nodded and arched his hand: "Mr. Resourceful, a certain family admires!" After speaking, he walked outside, and a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth!

Li Tong is different from ordinary generals, he doesn't like to "attack", he prefers "defending", he likes to see several times or even dozens of times the enemy fleeing in ashes, he is good at this, and now he sees a top-level offensive and defensive battle; More than 500,000 Wu Shu coalition army five times their own, but they can't help them, more than ten days of siege battles, Wu Shu coalition army can count the number of times the city head can be counted on two hands, this is extremely rare! Guo Jia's defense, if not impregnable, is as solid as a chime; Li Tong once put himself in his shoes, and he found that if he was the defender of this army, he might not be able to defend for so long, but Guo Jia was still at ease, how could he not admire?

According to Guo Jia's instructions, Li Tong took advantage of the temporary strike of the Wu-Shu coalition army to gather 20,000 soldiers to push the wall and demolish the courtyard on a large scale, and began to build a high platform. It is precisely because of this contrast between the two sides that the high platform under the four corners of the Wu Shu coalition army has just been built to the level of the city wall, and the high platform on Li Tong's side has been more than twice as high as the city wall! At first, the Wu and Shu coalition forces didn't care about Cao Jun's approach of learning from others, but when their engineering speed far exceeded their own, they were afraid!

Standing high on this high platform that was large enough to accommodate twenty catapults to launch at the same time, Li Tong looked out of the city and sneered: "Catapults! Hurry up and get it up! Teach those turtle grandchildren a good lesson! Hahaha! ”

"Hey! General Li Tong! Get down! I don't know when, Guo Jia was helped over by someone in a hobbling step, Li Tong hurriedly ran down, Guo Jia gasped twice: "Don't be so anxious!" Wait until night to transport the trebuchet up at night, and prepare more boulders! Tomorrow morning, first knock out the high platforms at the four corners, and then shoot at the camp of the Wushu coalition army from a distance! ”

"It's still thoughtful! This is what I will do! Li Tong smiled, as if he thought of the surprise of the Wushu coalition army tomorrow, and his heart was extremely refreshed; That night, Li Tong and Zhang Jaw transported the trebuchet together and ordered someone to carry the boulder

The next day, in the early morning, the Wushu coalition army seemed to be incarnated as an engineering team at this time, and the soldiers habitually carried simple farm tools to their construction site for several days, and they were in full swing and sweating in a short time; "Wow, bmm", after a few crisp sounds, Wu Jun, who looked up at the sky and wiped his sweat, was stunned, turned around and ran away with a scream, but he was hit by a boulder in a few steps, and for a while, red and white, and even colorful and green colors splashed all around! Wu Jun panicked; This is just a microcosm, twenty trebuchets split in all directions, full firepower, boulders poured down, and the earthen platform they built was crushed in a short time, and the semi-solidified earthen platform still had a certain fluidity, and finally formed a tomb-like shape

Li Tong wildly waved the order flag: "Release!" Put! Put! Fun in it, fun can't be compared! After destroying the high platform at the corner of the city, he aimed his fire at the nearest camp of the Shu army, which was destroyed in a short time!

The plan of the Wu Shu coalition army failed again, not only failed but also greatly dampened morale, many soldiers were scared, as long as they attacked the city now, the trebuchet on the high platform in the center of Nanjun City would be running, and the damage caused was shocking! For a time, the Wu-Shu coalition army was once again in a stalemate;

On the other side, Yan Xing's 50,000 Qiang cavalry were also ordered to start searching along the Zhijiang River, Guo Jia had already transmitted this information to Li Yu through Xinying, not that he believed that Li Yu would get Yan Xing, but that Li Yu had to deal with Yan Xing, otherwise their plan would be in vain!

When Li Yu took this news, his thoughts turned a thousand times, he thought of a lot of ways, Yan Xing's coming here showed that there were already resourceful people who thought of the possibility of his plan, even if he defeated Yan Xing, as long as he couldn't kill these people, the news would be exposed; He only has 30,000 men in his hands, and he has to take care of 20,000 prisoners, if he wants to win the battle with Yan Xing of 50,000 people, and it is obviously impossible to destroy them all, even if he destroys them, it will expose their position, the military horses sent by Liu Bei have not returned for a long time, and he will definitely send people out again; Therefore, Li Yu thought of many ways to no avail, and finally he decided to use the most risky method, if he succeeded, his plan would be continued, and everything that failed would be a flash in the pan, just a failure!

Li Yu's method is very simple, what method? Let's talk! Resolve this matter peacefully, and draw Yan Xing into your camp! If Liu Bei sent someone else, Li Yu would not have this kind of thought, the key is that he sent Yan Xing!

According to Li Yu's understanding, Yan Xing has favored Cao Cao very early on, but he can't take refuge because of Han Sui, and later Han Sui took refuge in Liu Bei without fighting Liu Bei was destroyed, and he became a pivotal figure in Yongliang in one fell swoop, but Liu Bei heard that Yan Xing had persuaded Han Sui not to seek skin with the tiger, and he was very wary of him, but he had to use him

Yan Xing led the army all the way along the south bank of the Zhijiang River to the west, along the way like watching flowers and admiring the moon, he was not in a hurry or slow, he was dissatisfied with Liu Bei, especially since he had already received the news, Liu Bei ordered the army to hold the Qiang tribesmen hostage and retreat to Hanzhong, which is also the reason why he held his breath, Liu Bei is holding hostages!

After coming out for two or three days, Yan Xing had only traveled more than thirty miles at the speed of cavalry, which showed how bad his mood was, the river was sparkling, reflecting the sunshine beautifully, Yan Xing stopped the troops on a whim, walked to the river, and washed his face; "Hi——! What a luxury! In the West Cool! How valuable is water a strategic commodity? But in the Central Plains, no one cares about things that can be seen everywhere! Yan Xing sighed, in fact, he still had a few words in his heart, in the past, it depended on God's opinion to take a bath in Xiliang every year, but in the Central Plains, every day; Suddenly, there was a commotion, the Qiang soldiers spoke inexplicable rap language, Yan Xing could understand it, this was asking who the other party was, asking him to stand and not move forward, Yan Xing opened his mouth and said a few words of Qiang language, and soon a strong man in a cloth shirt was brought over; "It's General Yan in front of you?" , The person who came asked, that resolute face, gestures made Yan Xing admire, this must be a general, and a good general, but I don't know who it is?

"It's down there! I don't know who it is? Yan Xing replied with a smile, and the person who came arched his hand: "It doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that my husband has a big business to cooperate with the general!" I'm bringing my husband to invite the general to sit down! ”

How could he feel that there was such a strangeness in the person who came, Yan Xing frowned: "Big business? It's inconvenient to talk about business under military affairs! The person laughed and pointed to the woods: "My husband is among them!" Didn't the general have the courage to take a look? ”

"Oh, oh, oh", a burst of piano sound floated in, Yan Xing listened carefully, his eyes closed and seemed to be savoring, in fact, he was thinking about whether to go or not, he didn't know what the piano sound, and thought for a moment: "Okay!" Good piano sound! What a song of mountains and flowing water! Then you can go and sit down! ”

After speaking, Yan Xing walked towards the mountains and forests with the guards around him, and the strong man laughed quietly: "The general had better take the Qiang people, don't bring the Han people!" Yan Xing himself is a Qiang person and glanced at the strong man when he heard this: "Don't worry, the people behind me are all Qiang people, and they don't understand Chinese!" ”

"That's good! That's good! There are some things that can't be known to too many people, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors of rumors when there are too many people! The strong man smiled, and the two of them walked slowly towards the forest, and after a while, they saw a small couch in front of them, two futons, and a pot of sake, two wine cups, and a person dressed in black with his back to him, and his arms kept waving and playing the piano; Hearing the sound of footsteps, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the man laughed loudly: "General Yan! Long time no see! Yan Xing walked forward, the man in black got up and looked at him, Yan Xing's face changed greatly: "It's you!" Plum. Bosom. Morality? Aren't you in Southshire? ”

Yan Xing pulled out the knife with a brush, and so did the guards behind him, Li Yu looked at him with a smile: "Hehe! The mountain people have their own tricks! Xiahoudun! Set the wine! Yan Ming! Why are you so excited? Come on, come on! Have a few drinks with me! ”

Yan Xing knew Li Yu, during the Battle of Chang'an, he saw Li Yu from afar, when Ma Teng and Han Sui's coalition army was beaten by him and fled back in embarrassment, and he still remembers the things at that time, when he was about the same age as Li Yu, but his identity was very different, one was already a big man with a lot of power, and the other was just Han Sui's little follower; "You and I belong to two countries, some are just fighting for life and death, what kind of wine do you drink? Li Huaide, you are so bold, you are not afraid that I will kill you? Yan Xing was so vigilant that he didn't even dare to approach Li Yu, just let out cruel words; In his impression, Han Sui is already a figure who is wise and close to a demon, and he has been crushing him to death for more than ten years, the more he contacts Han Sui, the more he feels that Han Sui is terrible, but Han Sui was not beaten like a dog by Li Yu? Even the Chang'an area didn't dare to approach, this is an extremely dangerous person!

"That's it! Less of these useless! Tell you to drink, and you can drink with peace of mind! I have something to discuss with you! Li Yu shook his head, took out a food box from the ground, and took out the roast chicken and beef in the box: "Oops! This beautiful scenery is really pleasant! It would be better if there was no war! ”

Yan Xing sat down opposite Li Yu half-pushed and half-pushed, and General Xiahoudun served wine to the two, so majestic! Yan Xing was still heavily guarded, even though he was sitting with one hand still holding the hilt of the knife, very vigilant: "Mr. Li called me here, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as drinking, right?" ”

"Hmmm! You're right! Li Yu took a drink to himself: "If there is nothing important, I will not be alone in danger, I will lead the army to capture you directly and then invite you to drink!" Hahaha! ”

The words were very arrogant, but Yan Xing was not angry, maybe he thought that he was not Li Yu's opponent, but he made an angry expression at the moment: "Mr. Li, don't deceive people too much!" As long as an order is given, the two of them are afraid that their lives will not be long! ”

"Hey, hey! I'm going to die! You're not far from death! I have ordered my troops to wait for news from me, and once I die, they will send a letter to Liu Bei, saying that you and I have not divided the spoils evenly and started an internal strife, and took the opportunity to kill me, hehe! You also understand the weight of Liu Bei's suspicions! When the time comes

Not only you, but even your Qiang tribe will be wiped out! Yan Yanming, so to speak, when you sit across from me, you have already lost! ", Li Yu said aggressively, Yan Xing's face turned pale several times, and he could only force his composure; Sir said falsely, His Majesty my lord trusts me very much, otherwise he would not have named me the general of Zhengbei and in charge of Yongzhou! Yan Xing smiled, it seemed that the wind was light, but in fact, he was already shocked in his heart, strategists, they were all guys with bad stomachs;" Trust you? Gee! Li Yu was speechless: "How did you see Han Wenyue die?" Do you think he made a surprise attack on Xuchang as the Baohan Chamber? Definitely! Zhang Xiu before Han Wenyue, do you think he voluntarily attacked Xuchang? Definitely!

They were all forced by Liu Bei! As for you! Hum! Liu Bei can even clean up Ma Teng and Han Sui, let alone you? After he lays his foundation in the Qiang tribe, you will not be long dead! If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have a candidate to unify the Qiang tribe, do you think you would be able to survive until now?

Just because you once persuaded Han Sui not to defect to Liu Bei, but to defect to Emperor Wei Wu, Liu Bei can put you to death! Now if you look at it again, he moved the Qiang tribe to Hanzhong, isn't this assimilating them? When these Qiang people give up nomadism like the Han people and go to farming, your death is not far off! ”

Looking at Yan Xing, who was said to be confused, Li Yu added: "Some things can not only be considered military, but also political, interests, and people's livelihood. ”

Yan Xing didn't remember anything else, only remembered that Liu Bei was going to deal with him now, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart, he was also afraid that he would die if he became the third candidate for "surprise attack on Xuchang" after Zhang Xiu and Han Sui! To say it well is to dedicate oneself to the country, and to say it badly is to kill oneself; "Gollum", Yan Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, looked at Li Yu who was drinking wine absentmindedly, and asked astringently: "Sir, save me!" I'm willing to do anything! Please help me! Yes? ”

Li Yu was secretly happy in his heart, turned around, and looked at Xiahoudun, who willingly handed a roll of silk silk to Yan Xing, Li Yu: "It's not impossible to save you!" See this? If we understand the signing and drawing, we will naturally be able to form an alliance! ”

Yan Xing opened the silk silk and looked at it a few times, roughly emphasizing that there was nothing outstanding about the alliance between them, and without thinking much about it, he bit his hand and wrote his name, pressed his handprint, and handed it to Li Yu: "Sir, can you save me?" ”

Li Yu poured him a glass of wine: "And listen to me with peace of mind!" I have a plan, don't ask what it is, there will be no more than five people who know about this plan, even Yuan let me never tell him, I can only tell you that once it succeeds, the foundation of Shu and Wu will be greatly damaged!

And Wei can dominate the world! As for you, don't go back to Shu Camp in the next ten days, just walk around this area every day! Once the plan is successful, you're the first to go! I will personally show your merits to the Son of Heaven! Think about it, how great is the first credit for the unification of the world! ", Li Yu said very demagogically; General Yan Xing was suspicious: "You can get the first merit just by walking around like this every day?" You're not kidding? Li Yu's face was flat: "Do you think I'm a joker?" All right! I'll go first! Remember our promise! Hehehe! ”

Yan Xing watched Li Yu leave, and sat for a long time before patting his thigh dejectedly: "Liar! Swindler! He was defeated by Li Yu in words, which affected his state of mind, Li Yu pressed him step by step to make him confused, and the ghost made the god sign the covenant!

It can be said that with Yan Xing's status itself, there is nothing to do, as long as nothing happens, he can be firm and rich for the rest of his life, and now that he has drawn and signed, I am afraid that he will not be able to get off the thief ship! At the moment, he could only sigh depressedly and lead people around; On the other side, Li Yu laughed maniacally: "It's so easy to deceive!" Hahaha! This Yan Xing is really stupid and naïve! Quack! Xiahoudun arched his hand behind Li Yu: "Mr. is amazing!" Yan Xing was completely led by your nose, and there was no way to resist at all! What's next? ”

"What? Naturally, the dam will continue to be built! Wait for the rainy season to come! Li Yu muttered in a low voice: "Contact Ji Ling and Pang Tong stationed in Fancheng, and let Pang Tong come over with 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers with good water nature, you must be hidden, I still write a letter myself!" Let's go into more detail! Perhaps"

Yan Xing, who was wandering leisurely, had to go back to the military Shu camp because of supply problems, and came to meet Liu Bei: "Your Majesty! The last general advanced along the banks of the Zhijiang River for about 50 miles, searched day and night, and did not find the enemy! But something was indeed found in the river, and the last general deduced that Cao Jun might be further upstream! ”

After speaking, Yan Xing's subordinates brought up a black robe, with dried moss and a river freshness on it, Yan Xing: "This may be Cao Jun accidentally washed down while washing clothes upstream!" Your Majesty! The last general is willing to go deeper and go and investigate! If there is an army of thieves! Kill them all! ”

Liu Bei didn't speak but looked at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang took the robe from the hands of the Qiang soldiers, touched it and sniffed, opened it to see that there were still many irregular small openings, Zhuge Liang was sure that this was indeed the clothes that had drifted in the river; "It's better to believe it than to believe it! The minister thinks that at such an important juncture, everything must be treated cautiously, otherwise, it will be a big mistake! Zhuge Liang bowed his hand and suggested, his expression was very sincere, and his style of doing things was also his usual style, cautious and cautious; Liu Bei nodded: "That's it!" The Qiang cavalry is indeed not suitable for siege battles, Yan Xing! Take your soldiers and horses, prepare enough food and grass to go up the stream, be sure to find that group of Cao army, and destroy it! Do you understand? ”

"No! The last general commands! Yan Xing was overjoyed in his heart, but he quietly arched his hand on his face, playing the appearance of an iron-blooded general to the extreme! Respectfully and slowly retreating backwards, Yan Xing disappeared beyond the big tent; Liu Bei said: "There is nothing wrong with this Yan Xing, right?" I always thought he was a little weird! Zhuge Liang smiled: "It's okay! Everyone knows that he is a dutiful son, Your Majesty and peace of mind, Yan Xing's parents are in Chengdu, he will not be upset! ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Forget it!" I'm tired, thinking all day! In the past few days, we and the Wu army have suffered a lot of casualties! What's next? If we can't attack for a long time, our morale has dropped to the extreme, and if we can't win, our army will be defeated and retreat! ”

"Li Huaide is in command, the generals of the Cao army are all deadly, and the tactics are appropriate, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the Cao army is as strong as a stone! The minister is incompetent and has failed to think of a good way! Zhuge Liang was a little ashamed, they have now gone into a misunderstanding; A big misunderstanding, that is, who is the commander in Nanjun City! They all thought it was Li Yu, but unfortunately it was Guo Jia! Especially Yan Xing, he was frightened by Li Yu's sudden appearance a few days ago, otherwise he wouldn't have behaved so badly, and was lightly posed by Li Yu; "Li Huaide! Li Huaide! Liu Bei chanted this name for a while, and sighed: "If he is the one who defects to me, is there still Wei now?" ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang was stunned at first, and then ashamed, dissatisfied, jealous and other moods surged up, there are no outstanding strategists in this era, because whether it is Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others, they all have their own strengths, and there is no way to compare; But the most famous and famous is Li Yu, who has almost become a benchmark for a strategist now! , whether it is his own people or others, they like to use him to measure their abilities; seemed to sense that something was wrong with Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei smiled: "I have Kong Ming and Yuan Zhi, what are my regrets?" Although it is just a lame remedy, at least Zhuge Liang feels better in his heart, and he is very grateful to Liu Bei, what the strategist is most afraid of is not being trusted, not only Jun's trust in himself, but also trust in ability;" Your Majesty! Outside the tent, Xu Shu came in, he was summoned by Liu Bei so he rushed over, he was different from Zhuge Liang, he was good at military strategy, so he stayed in the military camp a little longer, seeing Xu Shu coming, Liu Bei shush and asked warmly: "I am thinking about how to capture Nanjun City, and I am uneasy!" ”

This problem has now become the biggest problem faced by the Wushu coalition army, no one can solve it, Xu Shu also has no way to think for a long time before he said: "Actually, we might as well fight day and night, after all, the number of our soldiers and horses is far superior to the Cao army, and only by dragging them down can we win!" ”

"But after all, it is the Wu Shu coalition army, fighting day and night and attacking the city, the casualties will definitely be very large, I'm afraid the Wu army is unwilling to cooperate!" , Zhuge Liang said: "I'm afraid this matter is difficult to implement!" ”

Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei: "Your Majesty needs to talk to Zhou Yu in person!" Maybe we could! As long as you have the right chips, you can't do it! Besides, it is our common idea to eliminate Li Yu, and if the pillar of the Wei State is broken, the benefits of the building will naturally be more! The Jiangdong people's coveting of the Central Plains is not a day or two! ”

Liu Bei felt that what Xu Shu said was very reasonable, so he sent an invitation and asked Zhou Yu to come over to talk about it, stating the benefits and disadvantages, but Zhou Yu knew the stakes and didn't dare to make his own decisions, saying that he would wait until Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, agreed!

Although Liu Bei was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to speak, and agreed with Zhou Yu's statement, Zhou Yu ordered people to go down the river and rush to Lingyang day and night to deliver the letter; Sun Quan received Zhou Yu's letter, and saw Zhou Yu's expected casualties really made him a little unbearable, the whole Jiangdong had just recovered some vitality, but in the past few months, Li Yu had beaten up 100,000 soldiers and horses, and most of them were lost, and there was not one out of ten; And now Zhou Yu told him that if he agreed with Liu Bei's statement, he would lose at least 100,000 soldiers and horses! You must know that there are only more than 300,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Jiangdong, in addition to Zhou Yu's 200,000 troops, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people stationed in the Lingyang area, more than 50,000 Cheng Pu who defended Shanyue in the Huiji area, plus some county soldiers and county soldiers; With such a large casualty budget, who can stand it! Even if Li Yu is killed, the strong forces of the Wei State are still many times stronger than them! Why not march into the Central Plains? After thinking about it for a long time, Sun Quan didn't dare to make a decision easily, so he could only ask Ji Lusu; Regarding this kind of decision-making about the safety of the whole country, Lu Su didn't dare to speculate! Hesitantly, he said: "The general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, which means that the general can act outside the camera and choose the best strategy according to the conditions at that time!"

The Metropolitan Governor is the highest military commander of the Eastern Wu War, a genius in the sky, a handsome among the people, and loyal, if His Majesty can't decide, it's better to let him decide! I think the kung fu of judging the situation and acting with the camera, most of the governors are not bad! ”

Lu Su was entangled, Sun Quan was also entangled, the two thought about it and kicked the ball back to Zhou Yu, Sun Quan's letter only wrote one sentence: "The Metropolitan Governor is the highest governor of Eastern Wu during the war, and he has all rights!" ”

Zhou Yu could only smile bitterly, who would dare to make a decision easily when it comes to the direction of the country's fate? The foundation of Eastern Wu is thin, not as good as three-quarters of the Shu State, not to mention the Wei State that is twice or even several times that of him, and he Zhou Yu does not have so many opportunities to squander; It was precisely because of the hesitation in his heart that Zhou Yu did not make a decision for a while, and lied that Sun Quan did not agree, and the matter was temporarily delayed;

On the other side, after receiving a letter from Li Yu, senior officials at all levels in the Fancheng area began to get together and began to do what Li Yu said, Pang Tong carefully selected 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers, each of whom was very good, and took the people and horses to come to Zhijiang where Li Yu was stationed in a big circle according to what Li Yu said; "Sir!" , Pang Tong greeted with a smile, and Li Yu also returned a salute and pulled him aside, looking up at the sky: "Soon!" Soon the rainy season will come, the river will swell, my damming has been completed, and you will take care of the rest! ”

Pang Tong scratched his head and was a little puzzled, his eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils shrank: "Sir, you are going to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred!" The"

Li Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't say anything!" Don't be silent, let me be a sinner! At present, the Wushu coalition army has gathered more than 500,000! Wu's 200,000 troops were already more than half of their country's strength; And the 300,000 troops of Shu are almost half of their troops, and Liu Bei is here, when the rainy season comes, the river will flood and turn around, and go straight to the camp of the Wu and Shu coalition forces, including Nanjun City!

There will be a lot of deaths, and the reason why I called you here is to let you cut down trees and build rafts as soon as possible, and when the flood passes, you can salvage as many soldiers as possible, whether they are alive or dead! I have 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 prisoners, and I'll give you 10,000 cavalry and all the prisoners, and build as many rafts as you can!" ”

"What about you?" , Pang Tong nodded clearly, and asked again, Li Yu smiled: "I think I am going to Nanjun City!" Nanjun City has been tepid until now, how can this work? I want to provoke a fierce war, so that the Wushu coalition army will always revolve around the city of Nanjun! So that we can get the job done! ”

"Mr. I", Pang Tong opened his mouth, but saw Li Yu's stubborn face, sighed in his heart, didn't dare to say more, Li Yu completed the handover that night, and even handed over Yan Xing's painting letter to Pang Tong, if he failed, Yan Xing was one of the important factors that could stabilize the situation; "Sir! Why not bring us with you? After having bilateral stirrups, Li Yu also began to learn to ride a horse, after all, this is a necessary skill when fleeing for his life, and the possibility of being caught in a carriage is too great; Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Lu Bin, Zhang Liao, Xu Yi, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu dozens of generals were all blocked in front of Li Yu, and their eyes were red; "We are all people who are not afraid of death! From a reckless can climb to today's position, this is the favor of God, the protection of the monarch and the guidance of the gentleman! We all know that sir, this is protecting us! Mr. and Confucian scholars can be born and die for the sake of Wei, at the cost of their lives, why can't we? Xiahoudun clenched his fists and said loudly; It is! Sir, you have to take us with you! "Sir! You can't underestimate us! Everyone said gossip, Li Yu shook his head: There are still people rushing to die, I really don't know if they are stupid or say something else!

Thinking so, Li Yu put his face on his face and shouted angrily: "It's the other way around!" What's wrong with letting you help Pang Tong here? This is a military order! Lao Tzu is the third prince of the dynasty, Tai Lieutenant! Have the right to control the world's soldiers and horses! I'm going to stay here honestly! Motherfucker fuck off! ”

Cao Ren took two steps forward and stretched out his arms: "If you want to go over, sir, step on Zixiao!" At the moment of the great war, you don't let us brave generals lead the troops, but leave us idle! Why? Sir knows that we are not stupid! But this protection is not acceptable to us! We are men! It's a soldier! Should die on the way to the charge on the battlefield! Instead of sitting in the back and receiving someone else's credit! ”

"Damn! It's the other way around! It's the other way around! Yes? Li Yu roared again and again, but these people didn't give way, the swords were on their necks, and these people were so hard that they didn't even blink their eyelids; Li Yu sighed and shouted, "Xiahou listens to the order!" Xiahoudun knelt on one knee and waited for the order, and Li Yu said: "Go to Fancheng immediately!" ”

"Sir!" , Xiahoudun was anxious again, Li Yu glared at him: "Fancheng is now assembling a large army, and I sent you over to let you unify and form a combat force with them, waiting for my order!" Wait for this side to win! Immediately march out of Jiangxia and kill Dongwu! ”

"Cao Ren! You now immediately go to the Tongguan area, and once our side wins, immediately attack Guanzhong with Gao Shun! ”

"Lu Bin, Zhang Liao, and Xu Yi went to Jiujiang Shouchun, helped Xu Rong, waited for orders, crossed the Yangtze River, and attacked Eastern Wu!"

"Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Dianman went out with Cao Ren to Tongguan! Xu Chu, you stay by Pang Tong's side and protect him! Shamoke, Han Xuan and others! Follow Xiahoudun! ”

"These are military orders arranged according to the current situation! Everyone gives me the best to execute! If something goes wrong! Severe punishment is not forgiven! Right now! Get out of the way! I don't care about you! ”

After issuing the military order, Li Yu turned around and rode away, and in the night, the generals looked at each other, sighed, and Cao Ren said: "Forget it! The stubbornness of the gentleman is notoriously! Who dares to disobey! Let's go! Execute military orders quickly! Rectify the army and horses, instigate an offensive, maybe the unification of the world is not far away! ”
