Chapter 394: Return to the North
Li Song did not withstand Yuan Shang's coercion and temptation, and ran out of the city according to Yuan Shang's instructions to prepare to resist the enemy.
From beginning to end, he had no right to speak in front of Yuan Shang, and everything was led by Yuan Shang.
When it comes to fighting psychological warfare, Li Song is far less experienced than Yuan Shang's exposure and workplace education in later generations, and the research on psychological pressure of modern people is far beyond that of the ancients who only practiced Confucianism, not to mention that the characters Yuan Shang has faced in recent years are by no means comparable to people like Li Song.
Just the years when he and Cao Cao were openly and secretly arrows, conspiracies and tricks and calculated each other, it was definitely not something that Li Song could imagine, and the pressure and growth rate that Yuan Shang faced during that time, even if Li Song was given a hundred years, he would not want to surpass.
Therefore, sometimes people's growth needs not only their own factors, but also external oppression and objective factors.
The children of the poor are in charge of the house at an early age, perhaps this is the truth.
Li Song went out to command the soldiers and horses to greet the Eastern Wu army according to Yuan Shang's instructions, and now everyone else in the city is no exception, the entire Jiangxia City is full of alarms, and there are people everywhere, shouting loudly, and there is extreme chaos.
Yuan Shang quietly came to the outside of the Taishou Mansion, looked up at the dark starry sky, and then looked at the south gate of Jiangxia City, but saw that the fire in the south of the city was everywhere, and the shouting of killing shook the sky.
"Lord~! Lord! The gentle call pulled Yuan Shang back to reality from the shouts of the soldiers, Yuan Shang turned his head, but saw that in the alley on the side of the Taishou Mansion, Hu Ren dodged in it and cautiously greeted Yuan Shang.
Now Jiangxia City is in chaos, Huang Zu is newly dead inside, and there are Eastern Wu robbing with fire outside, it is true that it can be said that it is internal and external troubles, and the armies in Jiangxia City are in a hurry to resist the enemy. is already busy with work, who is still in the mood to look at Yuan Shang and Hu Ren, so it is safe for the two to meet secretly.
"Lord, my subordinates have arranged everything by the order of the lord! Jingzhou and Dongwu have also made an appointment with us, and their subordinates have arranged for the shops to escort them away and arrive in Hebei, and there will be no mistakes! ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Hu Ren." You did a good job, I am comforted, Li Song's matter will be entrusted to you in a while, remember that no matter how many times the defenders in Jiangxia City organize an attack, don't release beacon fires, only wait for Li Song to organize soldiers and horses into the city, before you can release smoke, give everyone a false impression that Dongwu is retreating because of Li Song, and I will not be here from today on. All matters in Jiangxia will be entrusted to you! ”
Hearing this, Li Song hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates can save ...... It's just that my lord, you're leaving tonight? ”
Yuan Shangwei smiled and said, "There is such chaos in the city. No one cares about me, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay? After I leave, you will do as I tell you to do. In the future, if Li Song can sit in the position of the lord of Jiangxia, you can put his old mother back and reunite their mother and son. ”
Hu Ren was stunned when he heard this. said: "Li Song's mother is in our hands, so we can hold him hostage, if we let his mother return, he is willing to work with us?" ”
Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Some things, it's good to stop at the point, this kind of thing of holding people hostage is almost enough, after all, this is a thing that is against humanity, if you do it too much, it will backfire, don't you see that Xuchang Xu Shu, now the family is ruined, although he is in Cao Ying, he is determined not to draw a plan for the Cao family for the rest of his life, and make a plan?" I will use both Li Song Enwei, first to deter him with danger, to subdue him with grace, and to encircle him in Israel in the future, this is the best policy, so that this nail placed in the rear of Jingzhou can be pierced for a long time. ”
When Hu Ren heard this, he seemed to suddenly nod and said, "My subordinates understand." ”
Yuan Shang immediately instructed Li Song a few more words, and then sent him away, and he hurried to the north gate by night.
Along the way, Gan Ning, Sima Yi, Pu Yuan and others organized thieves to gather, Guo Huai, Sun Li, Ma Chao, Deng Chang and others organized personal guards to meet and gather.
At this time, most of the Jiangxia soldiers and horses moved to the south gate, and there were not many soldiers guarding the city gate at the north gate.
Originally, the attention of all the soldiers and horses defending the city was outside the city, beware of Dongwu changing the route, from this gate to attack the city, I don't want the soldiers and horses of Dongwu to wait, but a soldier and horse from the inside to the outside suddenly appeared in the city, but the situation is very heavy, not to mention that there are thousands of people!
The general on duty defending the city was startled, and immediately ordered his men to go forward to stop it.
"Stop! The general strictly ordered that no one should leave the city! ”
The general who was the first to go was Gan Ning, but when he saw his teeth bared and his eyebrows raised, he roared in a low voice: "Huang Zu is dead, and there is no one in the city to give orders. ”
The high-pitched guard guarding the city was stunned when he heard this, but Sima Yi stepped forward quickly and whispered to Gan Ning: "The lord ordered, the big thing has been completed, it is useless to cover up your identity at this moment, just kill Lu directly!" ”
Gan Ning nodded, turned his head, grinned his teeth, waved the war knife in his hand, and directly slashed the soldier to death, and the thieves behind him did not answer, they rushed up and began to rush the door.
There are not many soldiers and horses guarding the north gate, how can they be the opponents of these thieves and wolves? When he was young, he was killed, the gate was opened, and more than 5,000 people quickly left the city.
Deng Chang hit the horse and followed closely beside Yuan Shang, and said: "Lord, we have seized the door and killed people, and our identity will be revealed, how to return to Hebei next?" ”
Yuan Shang said in a low voice: "Order the whole army, don't use the baggage, rush to the northwest overnight, and go straight to the border of Wanluo, where there are the soldiers and horses I arranged to meet them, if you can meet them, everything will be worry-free!" ”
Deng Chang said in a low voice: "Although this is the case, if you encounter an interception of soldiers and horses? ”
Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "There will be no interception of soldiers and horses, Gan Ning has already burned the water village into the territory of Jingxiang, in Liu Bei's opinion, this is a sincerity, an attitude, he would never think of Gan Ning rebelling, and even if he thought of it, he thought at most that Gan Ning would return to the land of the Han River, how could he think that he would go north?" There will be no obstruction along the way, the only Jiangxia army that has the ability to stop us, is now dragged by Dongwu, and has lost the Taishou Huangzu, no one to lead, after the Dongwu army withdrew, even if Cui Jun knows that Lu Dao is straight, he has no ability to catch up at the moment, at most he just sends someone to send a letter to Liu Bei, ask Liu Bei to send troops to block, this back and forth, the time is delayed for a long time, and when Liu Bei sends troops, we have already arrived at the place, everything is late! ”
Deng Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "The lord is strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, even if Sun Wu is alive, he is not as good as him!" ”
Yuan Shang smiled and nodded: "Good sycophant!" Shoot comfortably! After returning to Hebei, I will definitely reward you heavily! ”
When Deng Chang heard this, he immediately smiled.
A group of soldiers and horses rushed north according to the overnight attack, and the road map had been arranged as early as before tonight's chaos, and the road was unimpeded along the way.
The situation of the soldiers and horses was extremely fast, and it took less than three days to reach the northern realm of Jingzhou.
At this time, it was the third day of day, the sun was rising in the east, and the fertile plains of Jingbei shining were vast and shining.
Yuan Shang walked on the horse, looked at the endless field, nodded and said, "Jingzhou, what a place!" The water and grass are abundant, the people are rich and the country is rich, and it is not as bitter and cold as the northern land, but it is a pity. ”
Sima Yi walked beside him and said, "What is a pity? ”
Yuan Shang waved the whip in his hand, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that Jingzhou is in the middle of the world, rich in materials and not married, but there is nothing to rely on, you look at the endless plains, it looks good, it is good-looking, there is no danger to defend, Jingxiang Nine Counties has almost no natural danger to rely on except for the city, unlike our Hebei, there is still a Yellow River to prevent Cao's family." ”
Sima Yi nodded and said, "Yes, if my Hebei Wuji Battalion comes here, I can step on the north of Jingzhou with just one foot and a horse." Although this state is rich, it is a pity that it is not suitable for starting a business, if Liu Bei has the ability to lead the Northern Expedition as the offensive leader, if he wants to defend himself, then he must order Zeliang to do it. ”
Yuan Shang smiled: "Others may not be able to guess it, but I understand very well, Liu Bei's next target must be Xichuan, he wants to take Shu to become a king, hehe, this is a dream, I will not let him succeed!" ”
Sima Yi was curious when he heard this, and said, "How can the lord be sure that Liu Bei's next target is Sichuan Shu and not elsewhere?" ”
Yuan Shang thought for a while and said: "Knowing the Dao is knowing the Dao, how can there be so much for what?" Not only that, but I also know that this strategy was set by Zhuge Liang for him, Longzhong is right! Three points of the world! ”
Sima Yi was suddenly surprised: "Three points of the world? Which three? ”
Yuan Shang puffed up his chest and said proudly: "One is the Cao family in the north, the second is the Sun family in Jiangdong, and the third is that after Liu Bei himself seized Xichuan, he will have a share of the world!" What do you think? Zhuge Liang thinks that Yuan knows the way, right? ”
Sima Yi blinked and said, "Cao Sun Liu divides the world, where have you gone?" ”
Yuan Shang: "......"
After a long time.
"Yuan Moushi is wrong, that is the old version of Longzhong, and the new version should be divided into four parts of the world...... Yes, four points. ”
Sima Yi seemed to be confused: "Lord, how many pairs did Zhuge Liang give Liu Bei in Longzhong?" Three and four points? How much is it? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you don't care if he is three points or four points, in short, you remember that Liu Bei wants to seize Sichuan and Shu, and we must not let him succeed!"
“…………”
The two were chattering, but Pu Yuan galloped back quickly, and said, "Lord, there are soldiers and horses blocking the road in the plain ahead?" ”
Yuan Shang hurriedly said when he heard this: "But the military horses sent by Zhao Yun in Guanzhong to pick up us? ”
Pu Yuan shook his head and said anxiously: "No! Is it Jingzhou's roadblock? ”
"Barricades? Who is it? ”
"It's Zhang Fei!"
