Wei Yan's eyes slowly closed, and he pulled down the blade of the sword forcefully, and at this moment, Zhang Ren beside Liu Zhang suddenly shot out and picked off Wei Yan's long sword with one shot, the blade slashed across his neck, and blood was overflowing in the inch-long wound.

Liu Zhang didn't expect Wei Yan to plead guilty at all, this unexpected feeling suddenly calmed down the anger that had been accumulating in his chest, and Liu Zhang secretly instructed Zhang Ren to shoot to stop him if Wei Yan was willing to kill himself.

But the timing can't be too early, Wei Yan is arrogant, and it is impossible not to punish, especially when he thinks of Leng Bao, Liu Zhang's anger towards Wei Yan can't be eliminated no matter what, and Liu Zhang is not sure whether Wei Yan is acting coyly.

Wei Yan looked at Liu Zhang in shock, and before he could open his mouth, there was a sharp pain in his neck, his face was distorted and fell to the ground, and the grass in his left hand was uprooted.

Liu Zhang glanced at Wei Yan coldly, and said with an expressionless face: "The military doctor Aguda, if Wei Yan can't die, he will be demoted to cloth clothes, and he will have nothing to do with Yizhou from now on, and if he dies, he will be buried on the spot." ”

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he ignored Wei Yan who was struggling on the ground, and walked past Wei Yan with the generals, and walked towards Jiangling, Aguda hurriedly brought a group of military doctors to surround Wei Yan, the medicine was on the medicine, the gauze was wrapped in gauze, and the wound on the neck was too close to the mind, Wei Yan only felt that the sky was dark after a while of blood loss, and he vaguely heard the conversation between Liu Zhang and Zhang Ren from behind.

"Lord, isn't it too much to be demoted to cloth, General Wei has great merit, and it is sincere to admit his guilt, so it is better to be demoted to a pawn."

"Foot soldiers? He doesn't deserve it. ”

Liu Zhang's tone was cold, just like on the journey to Brazil, but at this time, Wei Yan suddenly felt down-to-earth in his heart, and the wound on his neck was exchanged for Liu Zhang's tolerance and cloth, which was already the best result.

"Since then, it has nothing to do with Yizhou."

Liu Zhang's words echoed in his ears, and Wei Yan secretly gritted his teeth while being bandaged by the military doctor, "With my Wei Yan's talent, even if I start all over again, I will definitely be able to make a difference, Yizhou, look at it, one day, I will become the general of Yizhou." ”

"Boss, is he having a convulsion?" A military doctor looked at Wei Yan's ever-changing face and asked Aguda strangely.

"Lots of nonsense." Aguda replied coldly.

Jiangling, from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, here is the largest city in the whole south, once as the capital of the southern overlord Chu State, flourished for a while, and then rose white, Jiangling faced catastrophe, countless temples were destroyed, the scholar family was slaughtered, and once declined, until the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Jiangling as the economic and political center of the south, re-emerged.

After Liu Biao moved to Xiangyang, he did not abandon Jiangling, which served as the waterway gateway to Jiangdong, and at the same time was the nearest supply station of the Zigui defense line, and there were countless grain weapons all the time.

Since Liu Qi's army went south, in order to stabilize the defense of Zigui, almost the troops in Jingbei were evacuated, and Jiangling was almost an empty city, Wei Yan did not spend much effort, he captured Jiangling, Jiangling hundreds of thousands of people, 300,000 stone grain, and 17 warehouses of fine weapons all fell into the hands of the Sichuan army.

As soon as the news of the fall of Jiangling and Dangyang Valley came to Zigui, it immediately caused great confusion in the hearts of the Jingzhou army, and at this moment, Deng Zhi of Yubei Pass led an army of 70,000 to pounce on the Jingzhou army, regardless of casualties day and night, and attacked Zigui City day and night.

The Jingzhou army was defeated and fled, Deng Zhi followed the order left by Wei Yan, led the Sichuan army to chase after it, and pursued it until the Yiling Mountains, the rear was the lost Jiangling, the Jingzhou army could not retreat, and the wind was loud and had to retreat to the south.

In the south is Liu Qi's nearly 100,000 troops in Jingnan, and in the north is the camp in Jingbei, which is extremely empty in defense, and Liu Biao is guarding the dangerous city of Xiangyang.

Liu Zhang led his troops into Jiangling City, where the city was high and thick, looking at the bustling streets of Jiangling, and had to admit that Wei Yan's adventure was correct from a military point of view, if it were not, according to the Jingzhou strategy formulated with Fa Zheng, if everything went well, it would take at least half a year for the Sichuan army to come to Jiangling City from Jingnan.

And the defense of Gangneung will definitely cause heavy losses to the Sichuan army.

Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Ren to take 3,000 soldiers to reorganize the Jiangling soldiers and horses, and feast the three armies with Jiangling's wine and food.

Now the situation in Jingzhou is basically clear, Liu Qi's 100,000 army is in Jingnan, which looks violent, but there is no food and grass, and it will definitely not last long, the only thing Liu Biao in Jingbei can do for Liu Qi is to provide supplies for Liu Qi through waterways.

However, the Jingzhou naval army was basically stationed in Jiangxia and Hanshui, and it took a long time to transport supplies to Jingnan, which could not meet the needs of 100,000 people at all, and the isolation from Jingbei would soon cause confusion among the Jingzhou soldiers.

Liu Zhang left Gan Ning in the Yangtze River waterway, and Wei Wen promised to lead the water thieves to help, so that although the strength was far inferior to the Jingzhou water army, it was still possible to send clippers to harass the grain ships of the Jingzhou army.

Liu Qi's army, which lacked supplies, made matters worse, and Liu Zhang believed that within three months, Liu Qi's army of 100,000 would have to be dragged to death in Jingnan.

And this period of time also happened to be the rest time of the Sichuan army, and Liu Zhang was rarely idle.

In the Jiangling County Government, Liu Zhang feasted the generals of the Sichuan army, and the generals toasted Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang did not refuse.

The light was staggered, Liu Zhang had drunk dozens of cups in a row, Fa Zheng frowned next to him, and left the table to invite the military doctor Aguda, Aguda hesitated, but still walked next to Liu Zhang and said: "Lord, before going to Jingzhou, Mr. Zhang Zhongjing said that the lord's body should not drink too much wine, and the lord should be restrained." ”

The purity of ancient wine is not high, but Liu Zhang's stomach is not high after dozens of glasses of wine, and he also feels dizzy, and he is a little unsteady when he stands, his face is flushed with drunkenness, he waved his hand, and said to Aguda with a knot in his tongue: "It's okay, it's okay, it's rare to be happy today, just drink a few more glasses, after the banquet, the official promises not to drink anymore, how about it?" ”

"This ......" Aguda was a little embarrassed, Liu Zhang, as the lord of a state and the commander of the three armies, was not something that he could control as a small military doctor, but excessive alcohol addiction was indeed bad for Liu Zhang's health, Liu Zhang had to work too weekdays, and he was in an uncertain mood during the military journey.

According to Zhang Zhongjing's meaning, in a leisure moment like this, Liu Zhang should be allowed to rest well, and it is not too much to sleep nine hours a day, how can it be used for drinking.

Liu Zhang saw that Aguda was still standing in place, and pushed Aguda with a smile and his hand: "Okay, okay, you go down, I will be modest." ”

At this time, another general came to toast, Liu Zhang immediately picked up the wine glass, Aguda glanced at Fa Zheng apologetically, shook his head and left.

Fa Zheng sighed, these soldiers have just experienced life and death, and they are not good at disappointment, they glanced left and right, only to see Xiao Furong, who was dressed in white plain waist clothes, actually guessed and drank in the middle of a bunch of barbarians, and used a big bowl, looking at her like that, I am afraid she drank one or twenty bowls.

Fa Zheng felt that Xiao Furong was frank and innocent from the bottom of his heart, and his impression of Xiao Furong was much better than that of other civil and military forces on Xiao Furong, but it was precisely because of this frankness and innocence that Fa Zheng felt that Xiao Furong could not be the mother of a state.

The current scenario confirms this once again.

Fa Zheng really doesn't understand how Liu Zhang tolerates Xiao Furong now, if he changes to another man, he has such an undignified wife, and it would be strange if he didn't drag him home and whip him.

Fa Zheng frowned slightly, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration, patted his head, and walked towards Xiao Furong, who was drinking wine and eating meat.
