Chapter 393: The Key Person, Liu Feng
Xichuan, Liu Bei's mansion, Liu Bei was a lot haggard, but his face was a little angry at this time, the reason was that Zhang Ren and Xu Shu were defeated and lost more than 50,000 yuan. The grain and grass were burned and could only retreat to Ba County, and the Cao army pounced on the Shu army and retreated again and again, and they were almost pushed to the door of their own house!
And this matter, or the reason for the defeat of this war, is not due to Xu Shu and Zhang Ren, who originally made a plan to fight with Cao Jun for several days and achieved good results. If it's not because of this, then why? Alone! There was a man who defected! This person's identity is very subtle, his name is - Liu Feng! Liu Bei's righteous son, the titular son of Mr. Dumb!
And what was the reason for his defection? It was his mother who came to Ying'er and wrote her a letter to make him defect, and Ying'er had already died!
Then why did Ying'er die? At this time, Liu Bei and Mr. Dumb will be blamed!
Liu Bei felt that Mr. Huai was dumb for his own merits, and he also helped himself as a teacher and friend, so he wore linen and filial piety for his mourning and guarding, because of excessive grief and fainted, Li Ru's suicide note in his arms accidentally fell down, out of curiosity, came to Ying'er to take a sneak look!
Coincidentally, this glance is the last sentence written by Mr. Dumb! "Lai Ying'er and Liu Feng are not good people, they have other plans! Execute immediately! ”
Lai Ying'er's mind was blank, and her heart was even more depressed! This scheming woman's heart is broken! When she first married Cao Cao, she originally thought that Cao Cao could bring her everything, but Cao Cao liked her, but she couldn't always hang by her side like this!
Cao Cao still has his ideals, and his revenge! He had more things to do, so he couldn't help but be lonely and she stole from Cao Cao's guard. Love, originally, but this kind of thing can't contain fire in paper! It's been discovered!
The lover died, she was expelled from Liujia, she has been pinning her hopes on revenge over the years, for her lover, so under Liu Bei's matchmaking, she married her second husband Li Ru, frankly Li Ru treats her well, but she shows her hatred for Cao Cao from time to time It is easy to arouse Li Ru's vigilance!
In the end, Mr. Dumb was worried that their mother and son were unknown, and of course, these did not constitute the determination to get rid of them! The reason why Li Ru can let go of such cruel words is that Liu Feng has grown up, and his identity is very delicate, Liu Bei's righteous son, the child who was passed away!
Liu Bei's original reason for succeeding him was that he hoped that Liu Feng would inherit everything he had, but now that he has his own children, he is still a child, and Liu Bei is almost fifty years older, so Liu Feng will threaten the status of his son Liu Chan!
Li Ru made up his mind, he wanted to get rid of Lai Ying'er and Liu Feng, in order not to cause trouble to Liu Bei, and also to relieve Liu Bei!
Liu Bei made up his mind, he wanted to get rid of Liu Feng! In order not to cause trouble to Liu Chan and prevent all unpleasant things from happening in the future!
Lai Ying'er made up her mind, she could die by herself, but she couldn't let Liu Feng die, that was all her hope! She also needs Liu Feng to avenge her! So she wrote a letter before she died, handed it to her henchmen, found Liu Feng, and handed it to him!
Lai Ying'er's final explanation was to find an opportunity to kill Cao Cao, Li Yu, and Liu Bei! These three people who have a blood feud with her, if they can't, then live in peace!
Liu Feng took thousands of parts under his command and his good friend Meng Da's people and horses to defect to Li Yu together, and burned the grain and grass of the Shu army to make a nomination, and Cao Jun won, which was a fluke! Surprise!
After learning that Liu Feng came to vote, Li Yu understood Liu Feng's current suffering and embarrassment in his position, and there was no doubt that with him, the army was pressed and attacked, and the Shu army had to retreat because of the loss of grain and grass, so he was bitten by the tail and beaten for several days!
The Cao army gained power, the Shu army lost an inch, and all the land that had been handed over was returned to the original owner, how could Liu Bei, who was bent on fighting Shuchuan, be willing? That's why Zhuge Liang was invited to inquire about the next thing!
Zhuge Liang was also fortunate to see Li Ru's suicide note, and sighed in his heart, Li Ru's blood was not cold, and his heart was still hot, but he couldn't survive! If Liu Bei can't even keep his henchmen and strategists, how can he talk about the world? But Li Ru chose to sacrifice himself; Why did he die? Because the wealthy families of the scholar clan in the land of Shuchuan didn't care how they behaved before, but when they faced him, the former Dong Zhuo's accomplice, they joined forces to resist the enemy, advancing and retreating together, which is not a good signal, this is a signal of civil strife in Liu Bei's forces; And the best way to resolve this internal contradiction is for him to disappear himself! It's a hundred, so that these temporarily monolithic scholars will become scattered sand again, and Liu Bei can take the opportunity to clean them up! Divide them!
Another point is that the situation facing Liu Bei is a bit complicated now, they urgently need to send troops to ensure smooth passage on the road to the Central Plains, otherwise they will inevitably perish sooner or later, so they need internal stability and unity!
Li Ru's death is not worth it or not, the key is what he thinks, he thinks it is right, it is right over there!
Putting down Mr. Dumb's suicide note, Zhuge Liang sighed slightly: "Mr. Dumb's loyalty to the lord can really be said to be a lesson from heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can show that he deserves our respect!" ”
Liu Bei nodded, his voice was a little hoarse: "Xu Shu and Zhang Ren joined forces to defeat, the cause turned out to be that rebel, Mr. Dumb is right, he will rebel sooner or later!" Kong Ming, tell me what I should do if I am a pro-conscription? ”
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Liu Bei had already made up his mind to conquer in person, and then Shen Shen said: "Since the lord has decided to move the strategic center from Yongliang in the north to the land of Jingxiang, then the vigilance against Ma Teng and Han Sui will definitely rise, and he ordered Ma Teng to guard Xiliang, and summoned his general Pang De and his sons Ma Tie and Ma Xiu under the command of the lord; Let Ma Teng and Ma Dai stay in Xiliang, and evacuate Han Sui and his troops, the land of Hanzhong cannot be lost, and only the second general is the most suitable person at present! In order to be assisted by Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, no one can break it! The lord can leave 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the army will be responsible for the food and grass baggage! ”
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Liu Bei felt that his head couldn't turn: "This soldier and horse are all out? Even if Xiliang left 50,000 horses and Hanzhong 780,000, is this enough to have more than 200,000 people, plus Zhang Ren and Xu Shu, this is even more than 400,000 troops, as for using so much? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled: "Is the lord worried about the problem of grain and grass?" In the next can guarantee that within two or three months, the lord will never worry about grain and grass, as for the future, please ask the lord to lay a large piece of land and be self-sufficient! ”
Liu Bei shook his head: "I didn't mean that!" One Cao Renjia and Li Yu are only 200,000 horses, and I think it's too much with so many soldiers and horses! I will lead 100,000 troops to join Zhang Ren, and it is estimated that it will be enough! 400,000"
Zhuge Liang said: "If the lord just defeats Li Yu, it may be enough, but if you want to defend him after conquering a piece of land, then you must have so many people!" It is necessary to break through the Cao army with the power of thunder to get respite, otherwise the lord will follow in the footsteps of General Zhang Ren and others! ”
"Liu Feng! Who do I think you look so like? I can't remember it for a while! Li Yu stared at Liu Feng's face and kept looking, always feeling that he was very similar to someone; Liu Feng's heart tightened, and he said with a smile on his face: "How could it be? Probably because the last general looks more popular, right? Look, it's so easy to lie, if he says that he looks ordinary, then how should others live?
Shaking his head, Li Yu smiled and said, "You and General Meng should rest!" Thank you all these days! Liu Feng and Meng Da retired one after another; Cao Ren said on the side: "This person can even betray his own father-in-law, and when his father's bones are not cold, I don't think this person can be kept!" Especially when Liu Bei is coming! God knows if he is a shadow set by the other party? ”
Xun Yu also nodded in agreement: "It seems that he is not credible, his eyes are gloomy, this is a narrow-minded person, absolutely not credible!" ”
Kuai Yue, who had traveled from Fancheng, suggested: "Why don't you send him to the prime minister?" Decided by the Prime Minister? Prime Minister Enwei is monstrous, I think no one will dare to disagree, let him stay away from us so that we can concentrate on resisting the upcoming Liu Bei, isn't it? ”
"That's a good idea!" , Li Yu nodded: "Okay!" That's it! I will send him a letter to the prime minister, but the soldiers and horses around him must stay, and that Meng Da will also stay! Liu Bei will definitely bring a lot of soldiers and horses! What should we do? ”
"Bajun City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, why don't you block them here?" , Cao Zhang said with a smile, and then Li Yu gave him a violent shudder: "This goes against our original strategic plan and is not advisable!" Use your brains! ”
"Then it depends on how many people Liu Bei brings over!" , Xun Yu twisted his beard: "According to the following estimates, if he only brings 50,000 horses, we will completely let Ba Jun out and fight with him again!" If it's 100,000 people, then we're saying that holding on is the best way!
If it is more than 150,000 people, then you need to give up here, and give up Wuling County for a generation! We need to re-defend the area around Wuling City! First, it is easier to give full play to our cavalry mobility advantages, second, to lengthen Liu Beijun's supply line, and thirdly, Wuling City is far larger than Bajun City, which is conducive to spreading out our troops when we defend! ”
"That's right! Then we have to look at Liu Bei's movements before we can make moves! Li Yu nodded, it seems that Cao Ren, the main general, is just an ornament?
Not long after the meeting ended, Li Yu summoned all the people again, for no other reason, it really made Xun Yu, a crow's mouth, right, Liu Bei came here with 230,000 soldiers and horses! Good guys, plus Zhang Ren and Xu Shu's soldiers and horses are 400,000!
Fortunately, Wei Hong has done a good job over the years, and Shenlong has laid down a lot of surveillance strongholds without seeing the end, and there is a lot of news that is conducive to Cao Jun's actions, which is indispensable!
Liu Bei's strength far exceeded everyone's expectations, and the power was monstrous, and Cao's army agreed to temporarily withdraw his troops to avoid the edge;
On the other side of the Jiangdong war, from the Lingyang City where Sun Quan is located, Cao Jun only has a stone between the Qiupu River and the Qingge River left, but this place is not a city, it can only be regarded as a place name, and most of them are hills and forests; For Cao Jun, after conquering it, he can go straight to Lingyang and destroy Sun Quan! But here they are under the most powerful sniper ever! The two sides fought bloodily for several days, and the Jiangdong Army did not give up an inch of land! Cao Jun couldn't conquer it for a while!
Lu Xun, who temporarily acted as the governor of the capital, chose to station soldiers and horses in this place, which was a dangerous decision, because this place was between two rivers, but Lu Xun was not a boastful person, he knew how to be flexible, he built the way of building a water village on land, and Cao Jun did not use flooding, but it was not successful, not to mention, the muddy land also made it difficult for the cavalry to move an inch!
Lu Xun used the method of forming a company camp to make this place into a strong fortress and fortification!
In the face of such a defense, Cao Jun could not overcome it, Cao Cao was even more anxious and angry in his heart, and finally could only hold back a sentence: "Insult his general, insult his master!" Send someone to scold me! Keep scolding until they come out! ”
So in front of the Jiangdong camp, there was a scene of scolding Sun Quan and no generals under his command at the top of his voice, and the angry Jiangdong generals gritted their teeth, and all of them came to Lu Xun, intending to ask for an explanation; "Governor, Cao's army can't attack for a long time, and the veterans of the division are tired, should we take the initiative to attack?" , This is a relatively mild tone, Lu Xun rolled his eyes: "The Cao army has 400,000, and we only have 200,000, of which there are 100,000 new soldiers and old and weak soldiers, and we can't afford to be injured!" ”
"Lu Xun! They insulted me so much! I'm going to kill them! If you're willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head, so be it! I don't want to! This is a violent speech, Lu Xun said expressionlessly: "Whoever dares to fight without permission will be killed!" Zhou Dudu now has mastered military law, do you want to give it a try? ”
"But it's not a problem for us to keep it like this, right? Governor! You boasted about Haikou at the beginning, and you said that you destroyed all 400,000 Cao troops! But now", who dares to underestimate Zhou Yu's law enforcement efforts? These people coaxed; Lu Xun looked through the military book in his hand, ignored it, and said for a long time: "I have 500,000 reinforcements!" ”
Everyone was dumbfounded: "All the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong are here!" Governor! Don't talk nonsense! Although Lu Xun is now the Metropolitan Governor, he does not have the transcendent status of Zhou Yu, and he does not show anything admirable, these people naturally will not respect him too much, and will even make things difficult for him;" I said yes, yes! If you are not convinced, you can ask Zhou Dudu! Lu Xun can be regarded as holding their lifeblood, others don't say it, they must be afraid of Zhou Yu, every time he will use Zhou Yu as a shield, but every time it works; He also knew in his heart that without Zhou Yu helping him suppress the formation, he would not be able to command these people at all!
Sure enough, these people coaxed again! Lu Xun: "Why don't you go back and do your job?" Do you want me to leave you to drink? ”
