Chapter 242: Sending troops to Runan
The communication between Liu Ye and Mao Jue went smoothly, because before Mao Jue came, Cao Cao and Guo Jia had already expected that Wang Chong might ask them for Guangling, so they had already authorized Mao Jue in advance.
Because of the urgency of the situation, after the two sides negotiated, Mao Jue did not delay, but directly resigned and went to Guangling, he needed to convey Cao Cao's instructions to Chen Deng, so that he could lead the troops to withdraw from Guangling and retreat into Xiapi.
At the same time, Wang Chong also sent a letter of appointment to Hefei, promoting Cheng Lu Dai of Jiujiang County to be the Taishou of Guangling, and only waiting for Cao Jun to leave, he could officially settle in Guangling.
Lu Dai is capable, courageous, and a native of Guangling, and in the entire Jinfan, there is absolutely no one more suitable for the position of Guangling Taishou than him.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, on August 2, Wang Chong officially set off his troops to the north.
Of course, dealing with a mere Liu Bei is not enough to make Jinfan Xingshi move the crowd, so Wang Chong only brought Tai Shici's 1,000 cavalry, Wang Shuang's 3,000 iron guard battalions and Lejin's 5,000 siege soldiers, plus Wang Chong's 300 personal guards, a total of less than 10,000 people, but it is definitely the elite of the elite, and when the army arrives in Shouchun, Zhang Xiu will also send 5,000 troops to assist, such a lineup, plus the 'poisoner' Jia Xu to give advice, even if Xu Yuanzhi has the ability to reach the sky, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape defeat.
The fifth year of Jian'an, August 4.
The Jinfan army arrived in Shouchun, and Zhang Xiu personally went out of the city to welcome Wang Chong into the city.
After ten months, Zhang Xiu's father and son finally met again.
Compared with ten months ago, Zhang Quan has grown much taller, his face is much more resolute, and there is a faint trace of killing on his body. In a gesture, he has the demeanor of a general.
Zhang Xiu was very pleased with Zhang Quan's changes. Fortunately, he really made a correct decision, and now, Zhang Quan has been appointed by Wang Chong as the Sima of other departments, serving as a deputy general under Tai Shici, you must know that Zhang Quan is only seventeen years old now, if Jinfan can really succeed in the future, then Zhang Quan's final achievements. Definitely above him, the father.
That night, Zhang Xiu, as the host, set up a banquet to entertain everyone, but because he had to go on the expedition the next day. So everyone is very restrained, and the wine is only a superficial taste.
Wang Chong just symbolically ate something and retired early, and with him left, Jia Xu, who was a military advisor.
Come to the bedroom. Wang Chong closed the door. Ask Jia Xu: "How is it?" What is the situation in Runan? ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "The situation is better than imagined, although Liu Bei has occupied most of Runan on the surface, but the army is actually only stationed in Pingyu and Ancheng counties, and there is no return from the dark department, Liu Bei is secretly transferring Pingyu's army to Ancheng these days, it seems that he is ready to give up Pingyu!" ”
Wang Chong sneered: "It's not just to give up peace. It's clear that he wants to give up Runan! ”
Jia Xu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "It's really possible." It's just that I can't figure it out, where else can they go if they give up Runan? ”
Wang Chong smiled: "Of course, he ran to send people under the fence, and then secretly planned his foundation, this is his forte, Xuzhou back then, didn't this fall into his hands?" ”
Jia Xu immediately understood: "The lord is saying that Liu Bei wants to hide under Liu Biao's wing, and then take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou?" ”
"Ahh Wang Chong's eyes narrowed into a line, "Jingzhou is my Jinfan's next target, how can Ben General allow him to snatch Ben General's plate of Chinese food!" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "It seems that this battle must be fought by the lord." ”
Wang Chong exuded a cold killing intent all over his body: "Not only to fight, but also to completely wipe out this hard-hitting guy!" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Chong glanced at Jia Xu deeply: "Wenhe, that Xu Yuanzhi is not a good person, you must not underestimate the enemy, otherwise it is very likely that our army will capsize in the gutter!" ”
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then a terrifying cold glow flashed in the pupils of the yin owl: "Don't worry, this is the first time that Xu has gone out with the lord, even if it is not for himself, he has to do his best to maintain the undefeated name of my Jinfan!" ”
Jia Xu's tone was flat, but he exuded a strong self-confidence.
Hearing this, Wang Chong suddenly felt a lot more at ease, once the 'poisoner' became serious, let alone Xu Shu, even Zhuge Liang, he might not be able to escape his calculations.
This year's Jia Xu is fifty-three years old, with unimaginable life experience for ordinary people, and his strongest point has never been in 'planning', but in 'calculation'.
Calculating, calculating people's hearts, Jia Xu has almost applied this so-called reverse thinking to the point of perfection, in comparison, Liu Ye is still too immature and may not be able to play Xu Shu, so Wang Chong will deliberately bring Jia Xu instead of Liu Ye on this expedition.

Anseong, the council hall.
Liu Bei is sitting on the main seat, on the left hand side are sitting Xu Shu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and on the right hand side are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bi, Gong Du, Chen Dao, Zhao Yun, because most of the troops in Liu Bei's current hands are from the newly surrendered Yellow Turban, so under Liu Bei's account, the status of Liu Bi and Gong Du is above Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun for the time being.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was a little dignified, early this morning, Liu Bei received the news that Jinfan's 15,000 army had set off from Shouchun and went straight to Runan.
Liu Bei is nearly forty years old, his appearance is very ordinary, and he does not have any domineering air on his body, the only thing that is impressive is probably only the pair of ears that are much larger than ordinary people and the pair of long arms that are like apes.
Liu Bei's eyes glanced around lightly, and finally landed on Xu Shu: "Military Division, now that the Jinfan army is pressing, our troops are at an absolute disadvantage, I don't know what kind of trick the military division has to help me?" ”
Xu Shu was about to speak, but Zhang Fei on the opposite side took the lead and shouted: "Why bother the eldest brother, if that Wang Chong Xiao'er doesn't come, if he comes, the younger brother will stab him with a snake spear in his hand!" ”
Liu Bei saw that his conversation with Xu Shu was interrupted by Zhang Fei, and immediately glared at him and scolded: "Yide, shut up!" I talk to the military advisor, where is your turn to talk more? ”
"......" Zhang Fei was not afraid of the earth in his life, he was afraid of Liu Bei's scolding, and when he saw Liu Bei angry at this time, although he was not convinced, he did not dare to make another mistake.
Guan Yu on the side stroked his beautiful beard, squinted at Danfeng's eyes and said: "Yide, although Wang Shaolin is young, his martial arts should not be underestimated, and there are also battlefield warriors such as Tai Shici and Zhang Xiu under his command, if you underestimate the enemy, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss!" ”
Guan Yu had just served in Cao Ying for a while, and when he communicated with other generals, he also talked about Wang Chong, and from their mouths, Guan Yu learned that in the entire Cao Ying, only Xu Chu could slightly beat Wang Chong in martial arts, and Xu Chu's martial arts Guan Yu knew, and even he could have a tie with him at most, so it was estimated that Wang Chong's martial arts should only be one line lower than himself.
