Liu Zhang sat down in front of the desk, calmed down for a while, pointed to a drawer and said, "Rong'er, take out the drawings inside." ”

Liu Zhang looked at the map of Jingnan's topography, Xiao Furong went to pour a cup of tea, and saw that Liu Zhang was still a little uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "It would be nice if Sister Yue was here, she could help Xianggong handle it, unlike Rong'er, who won't know anything." ”

Liu Zhang smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, by the way, Rong'er, can you sing?" ”

"Singing?" Xiao Furong shook her head: "I don't know the songs of the Han people, I will only sing a song of our Miao family." ”

"That's good, sing it to me." Liu Zhang had to have something to distract himself now.

Xiao Furong bit her lip, and finally opened her voice: The moon is half bent, the jade powder is condensed, the moon is halfway up the mountain, and the moon is light......

Xiao Furong sang the famous song "Mid-Mountain Moon" of the Miao family, the lyrics mainly tell about a hunter who returns home at dusk, and the comfortable mood in the moonlight, the song has long been spread to Han, but Liu Zhang has only heard Chinese, Xiao Furong is singing in Miao language, Liu Zhang never knew that Xiao Furong still has such a beautiful and clear voice.

With Xiao Furong's melodious singing, Liu Zhang seemed to be halfway up the mountain, holding a dry pipe in his hand, leaning against a big tree, bathed in the moonlight...... All the discomfort disappeared in an instant.

After Xiao Furong finished singing, she looked at Liu Zhang with some anxiety, just afraid that she would not sing well, but it would aggravate Liu Zhang's troubles, Liu Zhang looked at Xiao Furong's smooth face, stroked the back of her smooth hand, and said with guilt: "Rong'er, I will definitely make up for our marriage for you." ”

Changsha You County, Liu Pan Barracks.

Liu Pan paced back and forth, then turned back and asked the soldier in disbelief: "Are you sure that Liu Zhang personally led the army?" ”

A soldier in the hall half-knelt and said loudly: "My subordinates have determined that yesterday morning, Liu Zhang killed more than 1,000 wealthy men and more than 20 officials at the Wuling Guanjia Dam, and rewarded the wealthy women to his soldiers, and the Wuling wealthy family was almost slaughtered. ”

"How can it be?" Liu Pan punched the table with resentment: "Liu Zhang doesn't take me Liu Pan too seriously, the army of 80,000 people is in the belly of the fish, but he dares to expedition to my Jingnan with less than 10,000 people, is he a vegetarian when I am the 50,000 army under Liu Pan?" ”

A handsome general stood up: "Big brother, this Liu Zhang is perverse, before he takes Wuling's ass, he will kill people first, and kill people on Chinese New Year's Eve, so tyrannical, it will not be long before." The Sichuan army is lone from afar, our army is five times the number of the enemy, and they are all elite soldiers, this time we will be able to make this Yizhou butcher, there is no return. ”

This person is Liu Pan's brother Chen Qin, when Liu Pan was defeated in Jingzhou Haoqiang and almost died, it was Chen Qin who rescued Liu Pan, and Liu Pan became a brother in life and death with Chen Qin because of gratitude.

"The second son is right." A red-faced veteran in his fifties stood up and said with full confidence: "As long as the eldest prince gives me Huang Zhong 10,000 soldiers and horses, I will take Liu Zhang's head and dedicate it to the prince's account." ”

"Nope." Liu Pan raised his hand and said: "The old general Huang is mighty, it is a barrier to deter Zhang Yi in Changsha, if the old general leaves, Zhang Yi will definitely take the opportunity to raise troops, Han Xuan." ”

"The end will be." A very elegant general came out of the ranks.

"My son ordered you to lead 30,000 troops to Wuling, if you can win, after pacifying Changsha, you will be Changsha Taishou, if you can take Liu Zhang's head, this son will ask the lord to show the Son of Heaven and worship the marquis for you."

"Mr. Xie." Han Xuanlang agreed and went out of the camp to order troops.

Chen Qin said to Liu Pan: "Big brother, although Liu Zhang's troops are small, he has a big general Zhang Ren Yanyan, and he is more law-righteous and conspiracy, and the barbarian soldiers are fierce by nature, and the Dongzhou soldiers trained by Zhang Ren are even more elite in the two battles of Brazil and Hanzhong, will Han Xuan be Liu Zhang's opponent?" ”

Liu Pan said: "Although Han Xuan is not a good general, he is cautious, commanding 30,000 Jingzhou elites, and most of the enemies are untrained brute soldiers, if he fights steadily, even if Liu Zhang is Han Xin alive, it is impossible to defeat him with 10,000 soldiers, alas." ”

Liu Pan said and sighed: "Originally, such a great merit should be given to the second brother, but Han Xuan is a wealthy family in Changsha, except for Zhang Zhongjing, it is Han Xuan who has the greatest influence, but unfortunately Zhang Zhongjing does not know the current affairs, the lord invited him several times, and actually went to take refuge in Liu Zhang, and now if he takes Changsha, Changsha is too guarded by Han Xuan, in order to appease the hearts of the soldiers, he has to send him some credit." ”

Chen Qin groaned for a while, and said loudly: "The eldest brother is hardworking, and the younger brother can understand." ”

Liu Pan patted Chen Qin on the shoulder hard.

"Isn't the lord thinking about it again, Han Xuan's army is coming, and his command is all soldiers of Jingzhou, we should avoid its edge and stick to it."

After Liu Zhang received the military report of Han Xuan's troops, he immediately led a large army out of Wuling and marched head-on to Han Xuan's army, for which Zhang Ren and other generals were very worried.

"Our army is on a thousand-mile expedition, deep into the enemy's territory, when the battle is quickly resolved, after a long time, I am afraid that we will change first, General Zhang does not need to say much." Liu Zhang once again rejected the admonition of Zhang Ren and others.

The army camped west of Yuanshui, and the soldiers came to report that Han Xuanjun had crossed Xiangshui and arrived at the Liangxiang realm, Fa Zheng and Liu Zhang were studying the battle plan together, and Fa Zheng said with some worry: "Lord, at the current speed, Han Xuanjun can reach Yuanshui in five days at most, does the Lord really have a perfect strategy?" ”

Liu Zhang said while looking at the map: "Where did you come from, what is the perfect strategy, it is just to appease the morale of the army, when we went to Brazil, I said, we have taken such a road to unify the world, we have to take risks from time to time, if we win the bet, we will continue to walk, and if we lose the bet, it will be a big deal." ”

"yes." Fa Zheng sighed: "Actually, I sometimes think that if we choose not to be the enemy of the wealthy families, but to win them over, with the lord's talents, it should be much easier for us to unify the world." ”

Liu Zhanghe smiled and said in a long voice: "I don't have a chance to regret it now, but this time the situation is not so bad, the so-called success is in the sky, and the plan is in the people, this official has carefully analyzed all the information, inspected the map for a few days, and worked out a strategy, filial piety is not feasible." ”

Liu Zhang pointed to the map and said: "Our location is in the west of Yuanshui, there is a wild horse slope in the east of Yuanshui, a radius of more than ten miles, Han Xuanjun comes, must go under the wild horse slope, we can intercept and store water in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, if the Jingzhou army crosses the river, dig the embankment." ”

Fa Zheng looked at the map, then at Liu Zhang, and said in a daze: "Lord, you're not joking, right?" Now in the middle of winter, the flow of Yuanshui has fallen sharply, even if the water is stored, the water potential is not large, how can it drown Han Xuan's 30,000 army, and when the army reaches the river, it will send a probe, unless Han Xuan does not know the art of war, he can easily see through it. ”

Liu Zhang listened to Fa Zheng's words, pretended to be dissatisfied, and said: "Xiaozhi, you are too direct to speak, can't you leave some affection for this official?" ”

Fa Zheng looked at Liu Zhang's smiling expression, then looked at the map, and suddenly realized: "The lord is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire him." ”
