Chapter 103: Retreat from Jiangxia
"What the hell is going on? Jiangling City is impregnable, Cao Cao's 200,000 troops have been besieged for more than a month and are safe and sound, and now Cao Cao's army is advancing eastward, and there are only Cao Ren's 60,000 troops outside Jiangling, how can it be lost? "Daddy Zhuge was furious. Liu Bei is really fucking uneasy. Lao Tzu had just settled Jiangdong Wenwu here, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. You lost Gangneung after you changed hands. Lost the place of roots, and still cooperate with a fart! It's fucking attached! Who's going to talk to someone who doesn't have anything? The so-called cooperation is that you have what I need, I have what you need, and we all come up with mutual benefit is cooperation. You're fucking losing that premise now, and the ghost will talk to you about cooperation! It's so sad for me! Daddy Zhuge is very distressed now.
Jiangdong Wenwu was originally swaying left and right about the matter of joint resistance to Cao. If this is known by Jiangdong Wenwu and Wu Zhi, you Liu Bei will lose again. Didn't everyone tremble in their hearts, and surrendered to Cao Cao when they turned their faces? The more Daddy Zhuge thought about it, the more melancholy he became. What the fuck is going to do?
"Where's my mother? What about my sister? "Young Master Zhuge is too lazy to care about Liu Bei's life or death. The safety of my mother and sister is the most important thing. Young Master Zhuge rushed forward with an arrow step, grabbing the corner of Mi Fang's clothes and shaking it vigorously.
"Don't worry, little boy! Mrs. Zhuge and Sister Ling had nothing to do. The lord had ordered General Wei Yan to escort the families of the soldiers to retreat in the direction of Jiangxia first, and the army had already left Nanjun when I came. We estimate that we should have entered the territory of Jiangxia by now! Mi Fang hurriedly explained.
"Jiang Xia? Why did you retreat to Jiangxia? Isn't it faster to cross the river and go south? The main force of Cao Jun is all in Jiangxia! "This time, Daddy Zhuge is also in a hurry! Didn't Liu Bei, this guy hit the muzzle of the gun? Is this head watered? Father Zhuge is so angry that he can't care about the etiquette of the monarch and the minister.
But this time it's really not Liu Bei's head in the water! "Strategist, this is also something that can't be helped! Changsha Taishou Han Xuan was instigated by Cao Cao's envoy Liu Ba and ordered the veteran general Huang Zhong to lead the army to block the river, and the lord had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat east along the river! I want to go to Jiangxia to meet with General Guan and the Jiangxia garrison of the eldest son in order to make a big plan. At the same time, Jiangxia is close to Jiangdong, and the lord estimates that there will be no mistake in the alliance of those who send Jiangdong to Jiangdong by means of military divisions, so he wants to lead the army to the east, and garrison Jiangxia with his back to Jiangdong and fight with Cao's army! ”
"Bang!" Father Zhuge has a gentle personality, rarely gets angry, and always gives people a gentle and elegant feeling. However, the man is not angry, but he has not reached the day of anger. This bastard Liu Ba is simply not a thing. As soon as he finished making trouble in Jiangdong, he turned his face and went to scourge the four counties of Jingnan. "If this person is not removed, he will become a trouble." Father Zhuge had a blue face, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
Of course, these are not the things that Young Master Zhuge cares about. After learning that his mother and sister were safe, he was immediately relieved. Young Master Zhuge knows very well that Liu Bei has the legacy of his ancestor, Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty. Every time he encountered danger, he decisively left his wife behind and slipped away alone. The character of this product in this regard is not generally poor. But Liu Bei learned to be obedient this time. Last time, because she did not take good care of the mother of the military advisor Xu Shu, Xu's mother was taken captive by Cao Cao. Xu Shu's family doesn't have the spirit of a strong man with a broken wrist like you Liu Bei, you and I don't care what kind of king you want. It still matters if it's your own mother. decisively abandoned Liu Bei and threw himself into Cao Cao's arms.
This incident hit Liu Bei quite hard, and before Zhuge Dad came out of the mountain, Xu Shu was the only strategist in Liu Bei's hands who could handle it. With his assistance, Liu Bei once reversed the decline of repeated defeats in battles with Cao's army, and began to achieve some victories in some small-scale local battlefields. Xu Shu's military attainments were very high, and during his assistance to Liu Bei, he conducted quite formal military training for Liu Bei's army, implemented the construction of a strict military system, and drafted and promulgated the first new military decree of the Shu Han army. Therefore, during the period when Xu Shu assisted Liu Bei, it was the time when Liu Bei's strength developed the fastest since the defeat of Runan. It is precisely because of this that when Xu Shu was forced to leave Liu Bei and go north to Xuchang, Liu Bei had the disheartened idea of going into the mountains to live in seclusion. Because in Liu Bei's half of his life, he has never seen a more talented strategist than Xu Shu, and Cao Cao, an old opponent like this who also went to take refuge, what else does Liu Bei have to mess with?
But fortunately, Xu Shu is quite kind, and before leaving, he recommended Zhuge Liang, who is even better than himself, to Liu Bei. As a result, Liu Bei swept away the haze. Liu Bei asked to see Zhuge Liang so diligently. In addition to being related to Zhuge Liang's fame, his recommenders Xu Shu and Sima Hui are also crucial. You must know that when Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, he was already a general who was over 100 and a half years old, had been fighting horses all his life, and had a prominent reputation. General Zuo, Yuzhou Mu, Yiting Marquis, royal relatives, these inconspicuous titles in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but after careful investigation, it was found that Liu Bei, a guy who had been displaced all his life, was a real high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty!
In the Han military system, the highest-ranking military rank in the central government is the general. The general is the supreme commander of the whole army and controls the military command of the entire army of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the power of military administration and the right to transfer belong to the lieutenants of the three dukes. This is to allow the general and the lieutenant to check each other and prevent one side from having too much power and threatening the imperial power. Below the general are the four generals of the front, rear, left and right. And Liu Xuande took office as the general of the Han Zuo among the four generals. In the Han army, it can be said that it is more than 10,000 people under one person, and its rank is second only to Cao Cao, who is now a part-time general of the Han Dynasty, and it is higher than the level of these meritorious veterans under Cao Cao such as Cao Hong and Xiahoudun. Of course, this was the reward that Cao Cao asked for from Emperor Han for Liu Bei in order to entrap Liu Bei. Although this guy later defected, his official rank is still there.
The above generals can all open the government, and the government has one Changshi and Sima each, 29 Peng, 31 Lingshi and 31 people, and two Zhonglang, who are in charge of staff officers, all appointed by the imperial court. Where the general directly leads the troops, there shall be commanders such as captains, Simas, military marquis, and tun commanders in the construction of the department, qu, and tun.
In addition to his military position, Liu Bei also has the title of Yuzhou Mu. Yuzhou is the foundation of Cao Cao's army. At the beginning, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu and was forced to take refuge in Cao Cao in desperation. Liu Bei was also a Xuzhou pastor before, if he took refuge in you Cao Cao, even if his official position was not promoted, it would not be good to demote people, right! Therefore, Cao Cao in order to show his thirst for talent, but also to be a hero in the world. Therefore, he specially asked Emperor Xian of Han for Liu Bei and asked for the title of Yuzhou Mu. Although this guy has never worked in Yuzhou. Where would Cao Cao hand over his base to others? However, Liu Bei still became one of the feudal officials of the Han Dynasty. Don't look at Liu Bei has never really taken office, but the official position of the person is there, and the court has made a will, and the person is the real Yuzhou pastor. Although before that, Liu Bei also held a position at the state pastor level like Xuzhou Mu. However, that official position was privately granted by the predecessor of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian and Liu Bei, the minister of the plains. It was not recognized by the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the princes of the world also did not recognize it. This is also the reason why people in the world later called Liu Bei Liu Yuzhou instead of Liu Xuzhou.
Compared with Liu Xuande, who was already famous in the world at that time, Zhuge Dad at that time was really not enough to see whether it was an official position or a fame. A twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man, even if he has some reputation, how can he be worthy of the condescension of a prince like Liu Bei? But that's what Liu Bei did! For what? Xu Shu recommended.
It can be seen that Xu Shu plays a pivotal and important position in Liu Bei's heart! Although not long after Xu Shu left, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang from Longzhong. made up for the vacancy left after Xu Shu left. But this can't make up for the pain in Liu Bei's heart for Xu Shu's departure. Probably also due to this reason. After Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang, he took special care of Zhuge Liang's family. Not only is he meticulous in life, but he also sends good things to Zhuge Mansion one by one. At the same time, he also learned the lesson of Xu Shu's forced departure due to the abduction of Xu's mother, and soon after Liu Bei's army entered Jiangling City, Liu Beite ordered Zhao Yun to send hundreds of elite sergeants from the army to protect the safety of Mr. Zhuge and his family.
Although the fall of Jiangling City was very sudden this time, Liu Bei did not run away as usual. Instead, he commanded the army to resist the attack of Cao Ren's troops. On the one hand, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were arranged to escort the families and strategists of the soldiers to transfer. Mrs. Zhuge and Sister Zhuge also escaped the disaster and were able to safely retreat east with the army.
