Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rise Up, Zhou Lang
Only then did I see that the clouds at the head of the ridge were like covers, and the snow was like dust on the rocks. Thousands of peaks, bamboo shoots, stones, thousands of jade, ten thousand trees, pineapples, and ten thousand silver.
Even if it is snowing heavily, Liu Xiu's mood is still good, looking at the plaque of Rongcheng County hanging on the city wall, Liu Xiu just can't wait to go to the military camp to take over the military power immediately, but this matter really can't be rushed, and it has to come slowly.
At this time, Liu Xiu didn't know that his record of breaking Changsha on a snowy night and losing 40,000 in one night had been known to many princes in the world. Up and down the court, the monarchs and princes all talked about Liu Xiu, even if not many people cared about him now, but in the east of the river, in Yanzhou, and on Jingshan, they all frowned and talked about it
In Yanzhou, Cao Cao pacified Yanzhou in front of the month, and was named Yanzhou Mu by the saint.
At this time, in the state governor's mansion, Cao Cao was rarely free with several strategists and henchmen under his command, and they were drinking and chatting. And Cao Cao and the others were talking about no one else, it was Liu Xiu, who has been famous in Kyushu in recent months.
Cao Cao also only received Liu Xiu's battle results today, and when he first heard about it, he was like many princes thought: how false it was to capture the county town of Changsha and defeat 40,000 horses on a snowy night, it must be a lie about the merits of the war.
Cao Cao's face was full of suspicion, he had never even heard of Liu Xiu's name, and it was indeed shocking that such news came today, but who Cao Cao was, even if he was shocked in his heart, it would not be easily revealed.
I only heard Cao Cao laugh at the people under his command, hold up the intelligence letter, and shake vigorously and said: "Where did the childish child come out, he is so naΓ―ve to exaggerate his own results!" Ignorant! If this fraud is exaggerated, there will be more Yuan Shu and the like in the world! β
For Cao Cao's words, the generals under his command were very much in agreement, they led the troops all the year round, and naturally knew the difficulty of marching in the snow, and it was impossible to break the city on a snowy night, so they all echoed Cao Cao loudly: "What the lord said is very true, he must be a great person!" β
However, the scribes who sat at the head of Cao Cao were silent, they had heard of the name Liu Xiu for the first time, and they didn't know more information, so they wouldn't rashly suggest.
Cao Cao was very happy when he heard the approval of the generals, and then looked around at the strategists, but he didn't see anything, but only saw a little smile on the face of the young scribe sitting at the end with a slightly pale face, so he asked, "I don't know what Fengxiao thinks about this?" β
Guo Jia, the word Fengxiao, is Xun Yu just recommended to him not long ago, it is said that it is Mr. Shuijing's eight strange meanings, there is a talent through the heavens and latitudes, the best at speculating on people's hearts, to make a strange plan.
Guo Jia listened to Cao Cao's inquiry, raised his wine glass and drank it all, before he said with a smile: "Lord Qi, I have heard of Liu Xiu!" β
"Oh?" Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Liu Xiu to be able to enter Guo Jia's ears, and Cao Cao even asked: "Let's talk about it carefully!" β
"Whoa!" Guo Jia nodded and responded: "Actually, Jia doesn't know much, but it was mentioned in the letter of Jingshan Academy that Liu Xiu's ability is extraordinary, very ambitious, unwilling to be a thing in the pool, he has the posture of a hero, but he has no momentum of a hero, and was once called the 'Water Mirror Ninth'; β
Everyone listened to what Guo Jia said, and they all fell silent, but they didn't expect Liu Xiu to have such a strategy, but Cao Cao laughed and said: "Fengxiao said that he was joking, even if Liu Xiu'er won all the four counties of Jingnan, how could he threaten me, Yanzhou in the Central Plains."
Guo Fengxiao smiled and did not answer, and then Xun Yu said: "What the lord said is very true, even if Liu Xiu can control the four counties of Jingnan, but the tiger of Eastern Wu Sun Ce will not let it develop easily, and its north is his father Liu Biao, and the west is the road to Shuzhong, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only Jiaozhou in the south can give him a place to expand, so the lord really does not need to worry about Liu Xiu." β
In Jingshan Academy, Mr. Shui Jing was also discussing with two students, Wolong and Fengxiao.
Kong Ming saw that Mr. Shui Jing was looking at the information in his hand, and his face showed a slightly surprised expression, and he said: "Sir, Liu Xiuzhi's ability seems to be really unexpected, even if we help, we may not be able to achieve such results!" β
"That's true, it seems that Liu Xiu should have the help of the talents behind him, not as bad as the slightest, even stronger than you now, and not much different from your outstanding senior brothers!" Mr. Shui Jing sighed, paused, and encouraged: "Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, you two are still young now, and they still need to be trained, and he will definitely not be able to soar to the sky one day, even more so than that!" Don't be discouraged! β
"Follow Mr. Will, we will work hard!" What kind of characters the two of them are, naturally they have never been discouraged.
Sima Shuijing looked at the intelligence again, analyzed and said: "Liu Xiu has captured Changsha now, I am afraid that this land of Jingnan will soon fall into the hands of Liu Xiu, and this Jingzhou will be a storm again!" β
Kong Ming said comfortingly: "Mr. actually doesn't need to worry about the stability of Jingzhou, Jingbei is where Liu Xiu's father is, if Liu Xiu attacks, it is for unfilial piety; And the land of Shuzhong in the south and west of Jingnan is also incomprehensible, and Jiaozhou in the south is even more barren land, only Yangzhou in the east will be Liu Xiu's next goal! β
"What Kong Ming said is reasonable, now Jiangdong is also in continuous war, Liu Xiu's kid will definitely take the opportunity to attack Jiangdong," Pang Tong also said and analyzed in a timely manner: "However, Yangzhou has Sun Bofu, a tiger, and Zhou Gongjin to help, Liu Xiu will definitely not be able to get benefits, you must know that it is not enough to compete with the Sun family!" β
Sima Shuijing listened to the analysis of the two students, but he was very satisfied in his heart, and couldn't help but smile with his beard
At this time, in Xiangyang City, in Cai's mansion,
Cai's battle report was also obtained, but he didn't have the resourcefulness of many princes, so he only heard him say to himself: "I really didn't expect that this Liu Xiu would have such a strategic resourcefulness and have captured Changsha, it seems that I still need to send troops as soon as possible to take over Changsha, otherwise I am afraid that Liu Xiu will get the opportunity."
As he spoke, he hurried to the governor's mansion.
At the same time, in the Kuai Mansion,
The two brothers of the Kuai family were still not in a hurry to discuss, both of them were resourceful people, and naturally knew that the most anxious people should be the Cai family and the Sun family in the east, so the two of them were still just discussing, but they didn't see any action
The most different from many princes is naturally Sun Ce, Sun Ce has captured most of Yangzhou this year, only Yuzhang, Huiji and some remote areas have not yet had time to conquer, and Sun Ce can achieve such a foundation in less than two years, which can be described as truly fierce as a tiger.
At this time, Sun Ce was discussing with Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, everyone looked at the information, they were all quiet, they never thought that at this time, there would be a Liu Xiu suddenly, and he could capture Changsha County so quickly, and what they were worried about was that if Liu Xiu swept Jingnan at a fast speed, then his next step would definitely be the neighboring Yangzhou Yuzhang County, but their army was now stumped by Yan Baihu and others in Huiji and other places and could not get out, and it was too late to capture Yuzhang County before Liu Xiu. Tiger sleep! β
After all, it was Zhou Yu who opened his mouth first, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "Bo Fu, for today's plan, I am the only one who will go to Guiyang, I hope to drag Liu Xiu before Bo Fu frees your hand; It's a pity that Zhang Xian is not your subordinate general after all, I'm afraid that I am also powerless, and it won't last long! β
Sun Ce said embarrassedly: "Gongjin, you Guiyang, but in order to help Zhang Xian, you dragged Liu Xiu's footsteps?" If so, it's too dangerous for you to go alone! How can this be? β
"It's okay!" Zhou Gongjin said indifferently, and then sighed: "Hey, I have to think of ways to persuade Zhang Xian to join Bofu, and then all the troubles will be solved!" β
Sun Ce was also quite moved when he heard this, and when he saw that Zhou Yu had made up his mind, he no longer persuaded him, but said firmly: "Since Bo Fu has made up his mind, then bring Ziyi, and with Ziyi to protect him, I can rest assured!" β
"It's good! Maybe there will be trouble when General Ziyi is in trouble."
