Chapter 541: People's hearts are scattered
In mid-September, Fu Xie led 10,000 Chinese troops out of Wuguan again, accompanied by military strategy Xun You and Xu Rong, Lu Yi and Hua Xiong. www.biquge.info Liangzhou has been pacified, and there is no need to garrison heavy troops to guard it, and now Hao Zhao, who is stationed in Chencang, is fully responsible, and Xu Rong and other three generals will follow Fu Xie to fight in Nanyang. In the early stage of the war, except for Lu Yi who once followed Liu Xiu to fight against the Qiang people, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong have never had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and this time Liu Xiu ordered them to go out with Fu Xie, which was regarded as officially pushing them to the front line.
The configuration of these five people is very particular. Fu Xie, Lu Yi and Hua Xiong are from Liangzhou, Xun You is from Yingchuan, and Xu Rong is from Youzhou. The people of Liangzhou are the main force that is well deserved, but Xun You and Xu Rong are also indispensable, they are not only comrades-in-arms, but also responsible for balancing the forces of Liangzhou. Especially Xu Rong, he is the deputy general personally designated by Liu Xiu, second only to Fu Xie, and above Lu Yi and Huaxiong, the significance of which is self-evident.
Liu Xiu was still a little hesitant at that time, worried that Fu Xie would be unhappy, but Fu Xie accepted it very calmly. In his opinion, this is a natural thing, if Liu Xiu hands over all the military power to him, he is a little worried, and he knows very well the result of high merit and shocking the master. Now Liu Xiu arranged for Xun You and Xu Rong to share his rights, which is actually protecting him.
After Fu Xie arrived, Nanzhong Lang General Zang Min was very happy, he personally rushed to Yangzhai to greet him, and asked as soon as he met: "When will the general of the Che Cavalry go east?" ”
Fu Xie shook his head again and again: "The general of the chariot cavalry is not well injured, and the warship is not ready yet, so he will not be able to go east for a while." ”
Zang Min suddenly showed a look of disappointment: "If the general of the Che Cavalry does not send troops, it is useless to rely on your 10,000 Guanzhong army and the thousands of people in my hands." Now Yuan Shu has at least 50,000 troops in his hands, and he has sufficient food. ”
"Don't worry about Zang Zhonglang, although the general of the chariot cavalry can't send troops for the time being. But there is also Zhennan General Liu Biao, Jingzhou has soldiers and food. As long as we join forces, there should be no problem in defeating Yuan Shu. ”
"Liu Biao?" Zang Min didn't laugh when he wanted to laugh, and looked at Fu Xie's gaze a little weird.
"Not bad." Fu Xie pretended not to see Zang Min's eyes, and said seriously: "Your Majesty has issued an edict to assign General Zhennan to the Che Cavalry General's Mansion for moderation, so Jingzhou is now also within our battle line." ”
Zang Min exhaled heavily and shook his head helplessly. He heard what Fu Xie meant, but he was helpless. He thought for a moment: "In that case, how is Fu Sima going to arrange it?" ”
"I stationed the Changsha with Zhonglang, and then ordered Liu Biao to counterattack Jiangxia. Wave the army to the north. Flank Runan with us. ”
Zang Minpi nodded without smiling and said no more. In any case, Fu Xie led 10,000 Guanzhong troops to support him, and his defense line would definitely be stabilized. As for Jingzhou, with Liu Biao's ability, he would definitely not be able to defeat Sun Jian. But it will not be defeated, once the situation in Jingzhou is not good, I believe that Liu Xiu's illness will be cured immediately, and he will soon be able to go down the river.
Zang Min asked the most critical question: "How much food did Fu Sima bring?" ”
Fu Xie smiled: "Half a year's food for the 20,000 army, Zang Zhonglang, is it enough?" ”
Zang Min was overjoyed. Fu Xie only brought 10,000 troops, but he had half a year's salary of 20,000 troops, so naturally his subordinates were also included. He hurriedly saluted Fu Xie: "That's great, my subordinates haven't been paid for three months." The military rations are also running out. Fu Sima, this is really a charcoal in the snow. ”
Fu Xie returned the salute: "It should be, it should be." However, Guanzhong has just recovered, and its strength is not enough, which is also the reason why the general can only send 10,000 people. The difficulty of this is only clear to those of us who lead the troops. ”
Zang Min comprehended: "Fu Sima is right, I also have a deep understanding." ”
Zang Min immediately wrote a note to the imperial court. On the one hand, it was reported that the reinforcements from Guanzhong had arrived and the defense line of Yingchuan had been strengthened, and on the other hand, it was also requested that the imperial court urge Liu Biao to obey his orders and support the entire war with Jingzhou's grain endowment. After he finished writing, he specially asked Fu Xie to take a look, and Fu Xie saw that he was so interested, so he naturally didn't need to say more, and sent it out without changing a word.
At the same time, Fu Xie sent people to Jiangling and asked Liu Biao to obey the orders of the Che Cai General's Mansion and counterattack Jiangxia.
Liu Biao had already received an edict from the imperial court before, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. Let me listen to Liu Xiu's moderation? Just kidding, Jingzhou is mine, how can I let go. What's wrong with those people in the imperial court, did they take the wrong medicine? Gongsun Chan is finished, the only ones who can balance Liu Xiu are me and Cao Cao, Cao Cao was attacked by Eryuan, and he may be defeated at any time, only I am really safe, if I am also under Liu Xiu's control, then who will balance Liu Xiu?
Liu Biao arranged a counterattack on the one hand, and on the other hand, he went to the imperial court, on the surface saying that Liu Xiu's injury had not recovered, and it was not appropriate to increase the burden on him, but secretly reminded the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother that once Liu Xiu sat down, it was likely that he would not be able to clean it up in the future, so it was very necessary to preserve his independence.
Fu Xie sent an official document in the name of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao was very angry. Although he did not burst into a rage, he brushed his sleeves away without saying a word, and hung the messenger in the lobby.
Liu Biao returned to the back hall, and Cai Huan, who was leaning on the fence to watch the fish, looked at his expression and knew that he was angry again, so he couldn't help but laugh coquettishly: "Who made Jun angry again?" ”
Liu Biao stopped, turned around and walked to the edge of the fish pond, leaned over to look at the fish that were grabbing food, and suddenly sighed: "The fish is so good, as long as there is a stutter every day." People are really troublesome, insatiable, and never satisfied. ”
Cai Huan's eyes rolled slightly: "Who covets Jingzhou again?" ”
Liu Biao shook his head with a wry smile, reached out and pinched a pinch of fish food from Cai Huan's hand, his fingers stopped for a moment in Cai Huan's soft little hand, and then he sprinkled the fish food in the pool and pouted: "Who else can there be, of course, the general who is still not satisfied with the prince." ”
Cai Huan's eyes flashed: "What's wrong with him?" ”
Liu Biao sighed and told him about the imperial edict and the envoy Fu Xie had just sent to ask him to obey his orders. Cai Huan listened quietly, and finally burst out laughing: "Do you know that there is a big fish in the river called Baiji (white-sided dolphin)?" ”
Liu Biao nodded, he knew that there was such a big white fish in the Yangtze River, it was said that the world was peaceful in the river, he had always hoped that this auspicious rui could appear once, but unfortunately, until now, no one has reported that he has seen this kind of auspicious fish.
"A small fish like this can be fed with just a few bugs a day." Cai Huan threw all the fish food in his hand into the water, causing the fish in the pond to gather to grab food, and some even jumped out of the water. "And the divine fish of Baiji has to eat hundreds of these small fish a day to be full, so they must live in the big river and can fight the wind and waves, but such small fish can only live in the fish pond for people to enjoy."
Liu Biao understood it all of a sudden, his face sank, his eyes flashed with displeasure, he snorted, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
Cai Huan didn't look at him either, just looked at the fish in the pond fixedly, and sighed faintly: "It's obvious that I'm incompetent, but I still say that others are greedy." Dragons can fight the four seas and make waves, and loaches are only worthy of rolling in the mire. How could a chicken who picks up grass seeds in the grass to eat understand the ambition of the phoenix. ”
She was stunned for a while, and suddenly said softly: "You go out of the mansion, go to Zhang Yun, and ask him to send a message to the governor, saying that the imperial court has issued an edict to lead Jingzhou by the general of the chariot cavalry, but the envoy refused." ”
"Whoa." The maidservant who had been standing behind Cai Huan answered, looked around, and quietly left.
……
Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou Navy, scratched his head, looked at Zhang Yun, who was also smiling bitterly, and spread his hands: "What can I do?" ”
Zhang Yun smacked her lips again and again: "I think my sister-in-law meant, she is very disappointed in the envoy." If this develops, sooner or later he will have to turn against the envoy. Although the envoy is cowardly, it is really good for us, and it is not good for us to turn the other cheek. Who can guarantee that the general of the chariot is better than the envoy to us? ”
Cai Mao glanced at Zhang Yun and sneered: "What did the envoy give us?" We deserve it. As for the general of the chariot cavalry......" he pondered for a moment: "I'm not worried that he is not good to us, whether he is in Bingzhou or Yizhou, I have never heard of him deliberately embarrassing anyone." As for Guanzhong, it was those people who didn't know what to do and asked for trouble. ”
He thought for a while: "This matter has to be considered in the long run, in my opinion, although your sister-in-law is a little willful, her vision is correct." So that the king is more than enough to keep it, and not enough to be enterprising. Look at the person he uses, Huang Zu is such a rough man, but he is like a treasure. ”
Zhang Yun pursed his lips secretly, and said in his heart Huang Zu is not very good, at least he is brave enough, what about you, although you are a sailor and are familiar with water warfare, but you have not fought a few battles so far, isn't it just relying on the majesty of the warship, let you go ashore to fight, you are not as good as Huang Zu. But Cai Mao is his uncle, and he can't say this to his face.
Cai Mao thought for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he waved his hand and said, "You go back, I'll arrange this matter." ”
Zhang Yun responded, turned around and was about to leave, Cai Mao stopped him again: "Since Sima Fu Xie of the General's Mansion has arrived in Nanyang, you will let your family find an opportunity to visit him, pave the road in advance, build a bridge, and it will be convenient to talk when the time comes." ”
"Ugh." Zhang Yun answered, turned around and went out. He ran away from Gangneung privately and must be rushed back as soon as possible. Although Liu Biao is generous, he is also more sensitive to this kind of thing, and it has been too long, which can easily arouse Liu Biao's suspicion. Although Liu Biao can't stay in Jingzhou for a few days, if he really gets angry, it will be easy to clean him up.
After Zhang Yun left, Cai Mao immediately wrote a letter to Cai Zhan, his younger brother at home, asking him to hurry up and meet his brother-in-law Huang Chengyan again. Huang Chengyan is a celebrity, and he has always refused to accept Liu Biao's conquest, so he asked him to go to Liu Xiu, presumably Liu Biao has nothing to say.
