Chapter 61: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Liu Jingsheng really agreed to let him go, which was forced. He has a grudge against Jiangdong Shi'er, and it is also a revenge for killing his father, and this revenge is unsolvable.
There is also a grudge with Liu Xie, but this feud is now temporarily solvable, after all, Liu Xie now has a request for him, of course, this 'begging' attitude is relatively tough, in fact, it is 'persecution'. Of course, Liu Biao claimed to the outside world that the misunderstanding between him and Liu Xie had been resolved, and it was not he from Jingzhou who assassinated Liu Xie, but Ruo his forces. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, then Lu Bu's side will naturally let him go.
This claim is really a little difficult to understand. Having said that, you stopped Lu Bu, but before Liu Xie was assassinated! Do you still know how to tell fortunes?
But regardless of whether this matter is logical or not, the result is that Lu Bu and his party finally left Chaisang.
……
At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Dozens of large ships marched on the river, which was the posture of rushing overnight. On the big ship, a large flag with the character Lu is hung high.
Around the fourth watch, countless ships suddenly appeared on the wide river, walking boats, as if wolves surrounded the tigers, quietly surrounding them.
"Up!"
With a soft shout, countless torches were lit and thrown towards the big ship, and at the same time, countless hooks flew up the side of the big ship, and countless figures in black climbed up the longline with vigorous hands. Immediately after, there was a burst of shouts of killing......
"Don't kill me, don't kill me......" Countless boatmen raised their hands in surrender.
"What about people?"
"Disembark before nightfall and leave!"
"It can't be!"
"But, I'm really gone!"
Originally. There were almost no people on these dozens of big ships, and the rest were all boatmen.
Obviously, Lu Bu was persuaded by Mi Zhu and came to a golden cicada shell. When Lu Bu received the news that the fleet was being attacked, Lu Bu finally knew what it meant to be sinister. Of course, Lu Bu had already suffered this kind of sin, but he was a relatively naïve person and easily trusted others.
When he was attacked by Lao Cao. If it weren't for Chen Gong secretly admonishing him. And if people were prepared, Lu Bu would have been reduced to a prisoner long ago.
Speaking of which, Lu Bu is also a poor man. The character is too straight and the person is too naïve. In this world of deceit. It's strange if it's not pitiful.
To be on the safe side. Mi Zhu divided Lu Bu and his party into three groups, one group was dominated by Lu Bu's Chen Palace and Lu Bu's family, and the other was dominated by Zhang Liao. The last group is dominated by Gao Shun and others. The number of these three groups is not large, and they are mixed in the fleets of Mi Zhu and the Zhen family, and basically no one finds out.
……
More than ten days later, Meng Jian was invited to Wancheng by Zhang Xiu, and Xu Shu had already returned to Yufu.
After the envoy to Jingzhou, Xu Shu had a new understanding of Jingzhou, and was discussing with Liu Xie at this time how to fight if there was a war with Jingzhou.
Xu Shu feels that it is inevitable that the waterway and the land route will go together. However, although the Jingzhou Navy does not seem to have much strength, its real strength is actually much stronger than today's Yizhou Navy Army. The reason why it gives people a very weak feeling is because their ability to command the naval army is not good.
Liu Biao appointed his cronies, and Cai Mao was also appointed as a pro, so the ability of Jingzhou's leadership was pulled down several notches.
As for the land route, the most important thing to worry about is two people, one is Wang Wei, the other is Wenpin, and there used to be a Huang Zhong, but now that Huang Zhong has come to Liu Xie's side, this can be ruled out. Among the two Wang Wen, special attention should be paid to the literary appointment. He not only governed the army strictly, was quite strategic, but was even more loyal to Liu Biao, and was not an easy person to win over.
However, he is not without weaknesses, because he is too loyal, as long as he can subdue Liu Biao, he will not have a problem there.
In order to be able to more realistically simulate the exercise battle of attacking Jingzhou, Liu Xie also asked people to make a sand table and conduct a simulated exercise.
Xu Shu, Brother Zhu, Gan Ning and others are very fond of this sand table. It seems that I didn't expect that the map could still do this.
Today's Zhu Ge is not the one who has lived in Jingzhou for more than ten years in history, but his understanding of Jingzhou is naturally not as clear as Xu Shu. But these two people quickly became friends. The so-called brothers and four friends in history seem to have this trend in this time and space.
However, Xu Shu felt that now was not the best time to start a war with Jingzhou, because although Liu Biao relied on the strength of the family in Jingzhou, his power in Jingzhou was growing at this time, and it was not easy to seize Jingzhou from Liu Biao.
Moreover, Liu Xie's war in the northwest is still in the midst of anxiety, and every time it drags on, it will cost one more day. At this time, if there is still a war with Jingzhou, in terms of supplies, it will definitely not be able to keep up. Although Yizhou is rich and Liu Xie has abundant goods, it is almost impossible to support such a three-front war.
Of course, this is unlikely. But no one thinks that Liu Xie, a war maniac, will not start the necessary war because of this.
Liu Biao was afraid that Liu Xie, a madman, was young and vigorous, so he had to compromise in front of him.
"Liu Biao's two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi has a weak personality, is gentle, looks like Liu Biao, and once made Liu Biao love abnormally. But when Liu Biao married Cai, he gradually became estranged from his eldest son, but became closer to his youngest son Liu Chong. Although his two sons are still young now, as long as Liu Biao dies, Jingzhou will definitely have civil strife. The Kuai brothers, Wang Wei, Wen Ping and other ministers all favored Liu Qi, but the Cai family wanted to use Liu Chong to control Jingzhou......"
Xu Shu's analysis made Liu Xie sigh in his heart, smart people are smart people! It's easy to see the subtleties. You must know that he, Liu Xie, knew that Jingzhou would have civil strife, because he knew the direction of history, but Xu Shu only got this result through analysis.
The two are compared, and the judgment is made.
"Report ...... Your Majesty, President Mi sent someone to report that Lu Bu and his party were close to recovering ......"
"Oh?" Hearing this, the smile on Liu Xie's face floated, he glanced around, and said with a smile: "Everyone, are you interested in following me to see this Jiuyuan Tiger who is known as the world's number one fierce general?" ”
The Son of Heaven invited, if you are not interested, you have to be interested! Especially a fierce general like Gan Ning, I can't wait to go to Lu Bu to ask for a few tricks now, to see if he, the number one fierce general in the world, is worthy of his name. You must know that when Lu Bu fought with the heroes under the Tiger Prison Pass, a fierce general like Gan Ning did not appear.
Fierce people like Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning all wanted to be there back then, so as to compete with Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general.
So, everyone went out of the city with Liu Xie to greet each other, which can be said to have given Lu Bu enough face. (To be continued......)
