Chapter 789: Liu Bei enters Jingzhou
"Liu Bei left Runan, Yuzhou, and went to Jingzhou?" Liu Mang got such news.
Over there, Liu Ran's children's shoes, which were originally struggling in Runan, were suddenly thrown directly from Runan, and the direction he ran out was the direction of Jingzhou.
"He doesn't want Yuzhou?" Liu Mang was a little puzzled. This Liu Ran ran children's shoes, obviously a mad dog, the things he bit basically don't let go, for example, Xuzhou, Liu Ran ran, after being driven out by Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law Lu Bu, he can also lurk in front of Cao Cao to be a dog, and he will also snatch back the bone in Xuzhou.
Now Liu Bei actually let out the Yuzhou he got in his hands, and he didn't want it, which couldn't help but make Liu Mang puzzled.
"Tell Your Highness, there are still Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, and 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Runan!" The informant who received it reported.
"Sun Gongyou? And 20,000 soldiers? It seems that our Liu Ran has really learned not to put eggs in one basket! Liu Mang said indifferently, this Liu Bei is really ready to prepare with both hands, the first hand is to go to Jingzhou, if he succeeds in Jingzhou, then he Liu Bei will be able to make a comeback.
And if he doesn't succeed in entering Jingzhou, it doesn't matter, at least he still has 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Runan, Yuzhou, and he still has the capital ∑.
So our Liu ran children's shoes, which can be attacked, and retreated can be defended.
"Lord, do you want us to directly let Gong Jin and Bo Fu send soldiers and horses to intercept that Liu Da'er?" A veteran general on the side spoke, this person had already given up his military power and entered the Yangzhou Military Department, Huang Gai Huang Gongfu.
This person is a famous general in Jiangdong. There were three monarchs: Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan. In his early years, he was a county official. Later, he followed Sun Jian to the south and north. If it weren't for him, Liu Mang intervened sideways. It won't be long before that song of Chibi Fu was really blown by our old General Huang.
Jiangdong surrendered, a group of veterans in Jiangdong, but they all put down their military power, although they were old before, they were still resolutely on the front line, that is because they wanted to repay the great kindness of the ancestor Sun Jian. Go and do your best to assist the young master Sun Ce.
But now that Sun Ce has also surrendered Yangzhou, their original tense heart has suddenly loosened, and naturally they don't want to go to the south and the north anymore, after all, they are still old.
But when people are old, this heart is not old.
Huang Gai has changed from a front-line military general to the current counselor of the Ministry of War, and this official position is also the scale of Sanpin in Yangzhou.
Although it has no real power, it is very important, and it can even be said that 60 percent of the officers of the Yangzhou New Army are now under the disciples of these counselors of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
The tasks of their counsellors. In wartime, it is the one who gives advice, formulates tactics and strategies. There is no one to charge into battle, but how to fight and how to fight is something they need to consider.
It's not wartime, but on weekdays, it's the instructors of the Yangzhou Military Academy who teach their experience in arranging troops.
Even Liu Mang asked them to publish books, write down their experiences, make their books for those officers to read, and began to sell their books in the market.
The experiences of veterans such as "Biography of General Huang" and "My Life" are really emotional, and inspiring.
As for you saying that these martial artists are illiterate? Hehe, there are special people who listen to them, and then special people write and adapt.
In this way, Yuzhou is moving again, and the counselors of these individual military departments naturally want to discuss countermeasures together.
"Yes, lord, we can't let this Liu Da'er enter that Jingzhou, once he enters that Jingzhou, it will really be a disaster for the tiger to return to the mountain!" There is another military general surnamed Huang on the side, it is none other than our old general Huang Zhong.
"Intercept Liu Ranran?" Liu Mang said indifferently: "Why do you want to intercept him!" ”
"Your Highness, hasn't Your Highness forgotten that Shiyuan? Didn't you forget that Zhang De? Tian Feng, the old minister, spoke, and Tian Feng already knew the identities of Zhang Fei and Pang Shiyuan, so he reminded Liu Mang, don't let Liu Bei seize the loophole and enter that Jingzhou, relying on that Pang Shiyuan's ability, this Jingzhou will really belong to Liu Bei at that time.
"No, let him Liu Bei go in, if he Liu Bei doesn't go to Jingzhou, how can I have an excuse to send troops to Jingzhou? If he Liu Bei doesn't enter Jingzhou, how can I get Yizhou? Liu Mang laughed indifferently.
What is Liu Bei's plan to enter Jingzhou, he Liu Mang probably doesn't know, then the identities of Pang Shiyuan and Zhang Fei have long been found out by Liu Mang, what does Liu Bei think, will he Liu Mang not know?
If it had been intercepted, Liu Mang would have intercepted it a long time ago, and it would not be too difficult to even kill Liu Bei directly.
But Liu Mang left Liu Bei behind, not because he Liu Mang was kind, but because he Liu Mang needed Liu Bei to stir up the, so that he could go to Jingzhou and completely muddy the water in Jingzhou.
In this way, he Liu Mang can send troops.
As for why you asked Liu Mang why he didn't directly send troops to attack Jingzhou? Liu Mang also thought, but that person, he owed her too much, and she only had one request, that is, Liu Zong still inherited the throne of Jingzhou, and he, Liu Mang, was not allowed to step into Jingzhou for half a step.
Liu Mang agreed, but now that Liu Bei has gone, it is difficult to say whose position the lord of Jingzhou is, and Liu Ranran is also a springboard for Liu Mang to enter Jingzhou.
The other is Yizhou, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, speaking with a conscience, he Liu Zhang and our Lord Liu Mang do not have the slightest conflict of interest, and it can even be said that Liu Zhang also helped Liu Mang, Yizhou is the country of abundance, rich in grain and grass.
The grain that Liu Zhang sold to Liu Mang was calculated at eighty percent of the price, and for the sake of Liu Mang and his fellow Han clans, it can be said that a rare person who fancies the friendship of the clan is Liu Zhang.
Liu Mang wants to get Yizhou, because Yizhou is a natural grain production place for Liu Mang, although Yangzhou has a lot of land, but now Yangzhou is implementing a policy of encouraging childbirth.
Give birth to a doll, then you will lose a few acres of fertile land, who doesn't want to? In addition, there was no entertainment in this ancient period. So when we go home at night, we all go to make villains.
One result of this is the people of Yangzhou. Since Liu Mang came to power, it has increased significantly.
Family. If you don't have seven or eight children, you're embarrassed to say you're from Yangzhou.
These children are still young now, and they will inevitably have to form a family in the future, and then there will be insufficient fertile land in Yangzhou, so what Liu Mang needs is to expand the territory and divert it.
This Yizhou is also what Liu Mang has always wanted.
But Liu Mang didn't want to play Ang'en, and the people in front of him sold grain and grass to you at a low price, so that you solved the dilemma of Shaoniangcao, and you turned around later. Attacking others is not only a matter of character, but also a matter of morality.
In the final analysis, Liu Mang is not as thick-skinned as Liu Ranran, and he is not as black-hearted as Cao Cao.
And if Liu Bei enters Jingzhou? Hehe, it's hard to say, will he try to benefit the state when he gets Jingzhou? The devil believes! And once he plots against Yizhou, it will be time for him Liu Mang to send troops.
When he occupied Yizhou, he was saving Liu Zhang, not harming him.
"Lord, wise!" Everyone unanimously said to Liu Mang over there.
Liu Mang nodded. Yangzhou has formulated a general policy for him, and Liu Ran is leaving. Go with him, if he wants to go to Jingzhou, he will go with him, and even Yangzhou deliberately wants to let him Liu Bei go and let him enter Jingzhou.
And after entering Jingzhou, he doesn't have to worry about what he will do in Yangzhou, our Liu Ran children's shoes, will definitely work for his family in Yangzhou with peace of mind.
As for him, Liu Bei will become a climate? Hehe, Liu Mang is really not worried, Liu Mang in Jingzhou has already controlled the Jiangxia main road, if once the troops are dispatched, they will directly send troops to Jiangling, so that the Xiangyang generation and the five counties of Jinnan will be divided.
Plus the elite of Yangzhou soldiers and horses, and those cannons? Even if he Liu Bei is beaten with iron, he will have to turn me into scum.
Liu Mang made a court discussion, and went directly to a house in Shouchun.
There are two big characters written on this house: "Cai Mansion!" ”
When they arrived at the door of the mansion, naturally some soldiers immediately stepped forward to salute, and Liu Mang also turned around one by one and said yes.
"Go, help me call Madame Cui!" Liu Mang said to Guan Hai under his hand.
Guan Hai nodded, and soon someone went to call Xiao Cui.
Xiaocui is no one else is the personal maid beside Mrs. Cai in the past, because Liu Mang was wild that day, so Xiaocui also stepped into the footsteps of Mrs. Cai, Liu Mang did not treat Xiaocui badly, and gave a concubine position, which is also a first-class lady in Yangzhou.
"Husband, have you broken up the court?" Xiao Cui saw a smile on Liu Mang's face, her identity is the lowest among Liu Mang's wives, and even Qian Yu is better than Xiao Cui, because Qian Yu is also a barbarian princess no matter what, and she can bring benefits to Liu Mang's great cause.
And Xiaocui is just a little maidservant, but fortunately, Xiaocui is kind and unwilling to earn more, so she is also very popular among the women.
"Is she okay?" Liu Mang saw Xiao Cui and opened his mouth to say this.
"Husband! Madame, it's fine! With me here, you don't need to worry! Although Xiao Cui's heart was a little gloomy, because he Xiao Cui had come to take care of the owner of this mansion for a long time. I thought that when I saw Liu Mang, Liu Mang would miss him very much, and even Xiaocui was very much looking forward to seeing Liu Mang, but Liu Mang's first voice was Mrs., although Xiaocui had a hunch, but she was still very uncomfortable. So when Xiao Cui spoke, that smile dimmed a little.
Liu Mang didn't think about the gloom on Xiaocui's face because he was thinking about that person.
"Can I go see her?" Liu Mang continued to ask.
Xiao Cui quickly put back the gloom and laughed again, "Husband, madam, although she has been much better recently, she still doesn't want to see you!" Xiao Cui said to Liu Mang.
"He still won't forgive me!" Liu Mang was very distressed. "Forget it, forget it, it's all my fault!" Saying that, Liu Mang was ready to leave.
"But!" Xiao Cui suddenly shouted behind Liu Mang.
"But?"
"Husband, Madame doesn't want to see you, but she is willing to let you meet the little prince!" Xiaocui said to Liu Mang over there.
"Is that true?" Liu Mang looked at Xiao Cui with wide eyes and asked.
"Yes!" Xiao Cui nodded, this is what Xiao Cui finally begged Mrs. for, there was blood on her knees, which was all begged by kneeling in front of Mrs.
"Let's go, take me there!" Liu Mang was anxious and said, he subconsciously grabbed Xiao Cui, where could Xiao Cui keep up with his footsteps, and with the injury on his knee, he couldn't help but show an uncomfortable look on his face.
But Liu Mang didn't notice it at this time, and Xiaocui didn't say much, and endured the pain and lowered Liu Mang into a warm room.
There was already a nurse waiting in the house, waiting for someone, Xiaocui waved her hand and asked everyone to retreat.
Liu Mang was about to walk over and pick up the little prince, but was stopped by Xiao Cui.
"Husband, the little prince has just fallen asleep!"
"Oh, oh!" Liu Mang's excitement dissipated a lot, and he slowly began to calm down, he looked at him who was still in swaddling clothes.
"Xiao Cui, look, his eyes, aren't they, do they look the same as me!" There was no one else in Liu Mang's eyes except for this little life. This is his son, his son Liu Mang.
It's his Liu Mang's flesh and blood, can Liu Mang not be excited.
"And that nose, that mouth, not like me, like!" Liu Mang spoke to Xiaocui over there.
Cui nodded yes. It was supposed to be a very heartwarming scene.
However, Liu Mang forgot about jì, he forgot to give medicine to someone when he went out today.
A Deba's voice sounded, "Why can't I see that this little prince looks like His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness Zhang Cheng looks like a bear......then ......"
Before Zhou Cang's words were finished, a thick killing intent rose.
"Your Highness, I'm out, I'm out!" Zhou Cang shut up for a short time, he squatted down with his head down, and rolled out of the room with himself in his arms like a ball.
If he stayed in the room any longer, Liu Mang wouldn't be able to control himself, and he might chop the two goods with one knife.
"Xiaocui, I'll teach you here, you must take care of her, and when you come back, you will be rewarded!" Liu Mang said to Xiao Cui.
After looking at this little pudding twice, he walked out, and saw Zhou Cang snorting coldly, this time Zhou Cang loosened his face as if he was a dead father.
sent Liu Mang and the others away, and Xiaocui also returned to the greenhouse.
A woman in a palace costume walked out from behind the screen! Quietly looked at the departing figure over there.
"Madame!" Xiao Cui shouted, looking at the woman in the palace dress over there, Xiao Cui's face was a little flustered, because it was also Xiao Cui's ability to bring that person to see the little prince.
"Get up, you don't have to call me Mrs., you are also Mrs. now, you are the princess of Shu! You can't bow down to people at will anymore! The woman in palace clothes said to Xiao Cui.
"Madam, Xiao Cui will be a servant girl by Madame's side for life if she serves Madame!"
"Hey!" The woman in the palace costume sighed.
Looking at the appearance of the woman in the palace costume, Xiaocui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Madam, do you really not want to see him?" The husband is wrong, but madam, the husband is he! ”
Xiao Cui wanted to defend Liu Mang for something.
was stopped by Mrs. Cai.
"Xiaocui, do you really think I don't want to see him?" If Mrs. Cai is unwilling to see Liu Mang, how can Liu Mang be able to see the child.
"It's not that I don't want to see it, but I can't!" The corners of Mrs. Cai's mouth were full of bitterness. (To be continued......)
