Chapter 028: Lord of Mercy

Yi Yuan rolled the saddle and dismounted, and knelt down and saluted, "Envoy, I have found you!" ”

"What are you, sir?" There were about 100 sergeants behind him, all of them in bright armor, and the long swords in their hands emitted bursts of cold light, and they looked like elite soldiers.

Seeing that Liu Bei was puzzled, Yi Yuan hurriedly explained: "These sergeants are all the personal soldiers of Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jiangxia's Taishou, and it was the eldest son who asked them to escort me to see the envoy!" ”

"Isn't Sir in Xiangyang? Why did you go to Jiangxia County again? "Liu Bei still doesn't know about the escape of Yi Dao.

"Hey! It's hard to put it into words! Something big happened in Xiangyang! Liu Jingzhou, he's dead! Cai Mao and Kuai Yue did not mourn secretly, pretended to pass on their will, and wanted to abolish the elder and young, and support the second son, Liu Cong, to be the pastor of Jingzhou! I didn't listen to the persuasion, so I had to escape alone, and I was going to come directly to see the envoy, but I was worried that the monarch would not be able to compete with them alone, so I took Jiangxia and reported the matter to the eldest son! The eldest son ordered me to report to the envoy! To conspire for great things! "Yi Ji thought that Liu Bei would be surprised, but who knew that Liu Bei seemed to have known Lu Dao for a long time, and his face was as usual." So that you know the way? ”

"Hey! Sir only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other! Cai Mao is not just abolishing Chang Liyoung, Cai Mao has already instigated Liu Cong to dedicate Jingzhou to Cao Cao! ”

"What?" Yi Zhi was shocked, "Where did you get this news?" ”

"Sir, we just caught the messenger sent by Liu Cong to Cao Ying to deliver the surrender document and forced it out! The news is confirmed! Guan Yu explained.

"Where is the messenger?"

"Sent back by my eldest brother!"

"Oops! Why should you let him go back? Ichi asked in surprise.

"That's already the way it is, what's the good of killing him?" Liu Bei was frustrated.

"In that case, what is the envoy going to do next?"

"I'm discussing with the military advisor!"

"Do you have a plan to make you willing to listen?"

"My husband and I are friends of life and death, what else can't we say between us?"

"Well, since that's the case, I'll be bold enough to say it! At this time, I estimate that Song Zhong has not gone far, so the envoy should immediately send someone to catch up with him and detain him! Then Jun Ke led the army to Xiangyang City in the name of mourning, lured Liu Cong out of the city, and took the opportunity to kill him. Kill all his henchmen, so that Xiangyang City will belong to you! Then the envoy can spread the nine counties of Jingxiang in the name of Jingzhou Mu and call on the soldiers and people of Jingzhou to resist the Cao army! Let Junren Debu in Jingxiang, the people will definitely respond, and in this way, the land of Jingzhou will belong to the envoy! ”

"What a good idea!" Zhuge Liang also felt that the method of the Yi nationality was feasible, "My lord, Mr. Yi's strategy can be implemented!" ”

"This ......" Liu Bei was very embarrassed in his heart, to say that Liu Bei is good at everything, but his heart is too soft and moral. Liu Bei felt that he had come to Liu Biao in poverty, and Liu Biao took him in without saying a word. For himself to eat, for himself to drink, and also gave himself a small piece of land. It's not big, but it's a place to stand! Speaking of which, Liu Biao is really good to himself. Now that Liu Biao's bones are not cold, you let Liu Bei kill his son and occupy his inheritance, Liu Bei will not be able to do it no matter what.

"What are you waiting for, my lord?" Zhuge Liang is also very anxious in his heart, Liu Bei is really unhappy! When has this been? It's not a good time, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighters are fleeting. If you miss it, you'll regret it!

Liu Bei hesitated for a long time before he burst out with a sentence: "The words of the military advisor and Mr. Yi are all wise strategies!" But Liu Jingzhou is kind to me! Now that my brother's bones are still cold, how can I bear to kill his son and take his family inheritance? ”

"Hey! What a good lord is! Zhuge Liang was completely speechless for Liu Bei.

"Strategist! See if there's anything else we can do?"

"Lord, Liang's uncle and Cai Mao are close friends, and Humble Jing is Cai Mao's niece. Liang went to Xiangyang City with this little affection, and he might be able to persuade Cai Mao to change his mind! If so, there may be a turnaround! ”

"No! Cannot! It's too dangerous! I can't put my advisor at risk! Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand.

"Yes! You're right! Mr. Kong Ming is in danger of the safety of the whole army, and he must not put himself in danger! Now that Cai Mao has decided to surrender to Cao, where will she care about family affection? It is often said that the son of a daughter does not sit under a dangerous wall. That's what I'm talking about! The Yi nationality standing next to him also stepped forward to persuade him. Yi deeply understands the importance of Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei and the future development of Liu Bei Group. Besides, Zhuge Liang's heart is unpredictable, if he sees Liu Bei's strength and is lonely and poor and goes to seek refuge with Cai Mao, then Liu Bei will really be done! Therefore, Yi nationality can't let Zhuge Liang go to Xiangyang no matter what.

"Lord!" Father Zhuge bowed down and bowed.

"Strategist, what are you doing here!" Zhuge Liang suddenly bowed down, which made Liu Bei at a loss, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. But Zhuge Daddy had a bullish temper, and he just didn't get up.

"My lord, please listen to Liang's words!" Zhuge Daddy Zhengse said.

"Good! Advisor, please! Liu Bei is very helpless, why does this guy usually look weak and weak, but he is so stubborn when it is critical.

"Liang Ben is a man of the mountains and wilderness, thanks to the lord who does not give up, the three ministers are in the grassland, and the ministers are the things of the world! The sincerity of the lord touched the heavens, so that I could not help but put on my liver and gall, and live and die together! Now Cao Cao's army is close at hand, Liu Biao died of illness, Cai Mao betrayed the master, and Liu Cong surrendered to Cao. The great cause of the Lord is about to be ruined! If the lord can't achieve great things, and Liang's ambition can't be realized, then what does it matter if Liang's life and death are realized? Cai Mao is not an unreasonable person, Liang and Cai Mao have known each other for a long time and have a great friendship, so Liang hopes to persuade him to give up the idea of surrendering Cao, even if he can't succeed, Liang also has his own clever plan to get out, so don't worry! ”

Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Liang was very resolute, and he couldn't say anything anymore, so he hurriedly helped Zhuge Liang up and comforted: "Liu Bei has already understood the heart of the military advisor!" Now that the military advisor has made up his mind, Bei will no longer stop it! But Zilong must be allowed to accompany Mr. Between Zilong and my acquaintance and danger, he has always been loyal and strong in martial arts. Let Zilong go with the military division, and I can rest easy! ”

Zhuge Liang thought about it and nodded in agreement; "Since this is the case, then there is General Lao Zilong!"

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhuge Liang agree, holding Zhuge Liang's hand, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. The four eyes are facing each other, and they have mixed feelings. But Zhuge Liang couldn't care about communicating with Liu Bei at this time, "Lord, the result of Liang's trip this time is unpredictable!" We should be prepared for the unexpected! This place is close to the Han River, and the lord quickly ordered General Yun Chang to lead 10,000 water divisions to escort the soldiers' families and baggage grain and grass to take water along the Han River first, and pass through Jiangxia County. The lord has a life-saving grace for the eldest son Liu Qi, and now the eldest son has served as Jiangxia Taishou, and he will accept our army! In addition, General Zhang Fei was ordered to lead 20,000 light cavalry to make a detour south and take Jiangling first. In the past, Jiangling was the old capital of Chu in the pre-Qin period, with high cities and deep pools, and sufficient money and food for soldiers. It can be held for a long time. Moreover, Jiangling City is built along the river, bordering the Yangtze River in the south, Hanshui in the north, Bashu in the west, and Hunan and Guangdong in the south, so the strategic location is extremely important! It can be said that Jingzhou is the first important town! If Jiangling is occupied, then the west can connect with Bashu as foreign aid, and the east can cooperate with Jiangxia and form horns against each other to resist Cao's army. The south can be pacified one by one to take the land of Jingnan. You can peek into the Central Plains from the north and wait for the time! The lord should take it quickly, and don't let others take the lead! ”

"Good! I'll arrange it! ”
