Chapter 902 sent troops to Jingzhou
"Let Liu Bei run away?" Liu Mang has also arrived in Fancheng at this moment.
He frowned and looked at the reports of the Yangzhou military generals below.
"How could this make Liu Bei run away?" Although Liu Mang has a premonition for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep Liu Bei this time, after all, Liu Bei's escape technique is really good, Dong Zhuo failed to leave Liu Bei, Yuan Shao failed to leave Liu Bei, and Cao Cao Lu Bu was also unable to leave Liu Bei.
But this time, he Liu Mang can be said to have laid a net of heaven and earth.
Not only had soldiers and horses already arranged to garrison Fancheng, but even Sun Gan in Liu Bei's naval camp had entered early.
"In this matter, I miscalculated, and I couldn't stop Liu Bei!" Next to Liu Mang, a solemn-eyed Jinjia general spoke.
This person is not someone else, it is Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.
He rushed over from Lujiang with five thousand wolf riders, originally Liu Mang planned to give him this opportunity to take revenge, but he never thought to be intercepted by Guan Yu.
Thinking about Lu Bu, he was full of anger, because when he faced off with Guan Yu, Guan Yu asked Lu Bu to give him time to use the strongest move.
Lu Bu agreed, he thought that Guan Yu had also broken through, so he gave Guan Yu a chance.
But he never thought that Guan Yu watched Liu Bei's army go away, turned around and ran, and saw that Lu Bu was stunned, and it was really too late to pursue again.
Liu Mang looked at his cheap father-in-law and blamed Lu Bu? Give him Liu Mang ten dares, and he won't dare.
"If the lord wants to blame me, blame me!" Someone began to confess again, and Lu Xun over there half-knelt down in front of Liu Mang, "It's the last general who didn't think about it comprehensively, which gave Liu Bei a chance to escape!" ”
Lu Xun regretted that he would not use the bed crossbow on the Galen ship if he had not used it. Instead, choose to engage in broadside battles. I'm afraid Liu Bei won't leave so easily fishing in troubled waters.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han. This matter has nothing to do with Lu Overseer, but he didn't know that this Liu Bei actually knew how to water! A scribe next to Lu Xun walked out and bowed to Liu Mang and said.
"Huh?" Liu Mang looked at the person on the ground, this person he Liu Mang was not familiar with, otherwise he would not have called Liu Mang His Royal Highness the King of Han, and someone on the side naturally introduced Liu Mang.
"Dove?" Liu Mang subconsciously opened his mouth when he heard the name at first, isn't this chocolate.
It's still his name.
"Who's Chocolate?" Dove was also puzzled.
"Oh, there is a man whom the king knows, who is about the same as the gentleman. His surname is Qiao, his name is Kerry, and the word Dove! Liu Mang could only explain this.
Dove nodded without further words.
"You are Sun Shilang's junior brother?" Liu Mang looked at this Dove.
"I once listened to the class under Teacher Zheng Xuan with my senior brother!" Dove bowed her head and spoke.
"Good, good!" Liu Mang nodded, the disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, even if his ability is not very good, but his character is still reliable, the reason why Sun Qian betrayed Liu Bei was that Liu Bei completely forced Sun Qian to Liangshan.
"Bo Fu, Gong Jin. What do you two think of this Liu Bei! Liu Mang looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu over there.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and the two were now one. Zhou Yu nodded and stood up, meaning that he came out to explain.
"Liu Bei is a traitorous male, judging by his appearance, he is not subordinate to others, he can endure and be fickle, and regard it as a career, it's a pity!" Zhou Yu didn't say anything halfway through.
"What's wrong, Gongjin!? Go on! Liu Mang stretched out his hand, meaning Zhou Yu continued.
"It's a pity that I met you, the lord!" Zhou Yu said to Liu Mang.
The ancients were good at looking at appearances, and the most famous one is probably Xu Shao Xu Zijiang, who can see at a glance that Cao Cao's future pulse is weak.
Although Zhou Yu can't reach that level, according to what Liu Bei has done over the years, he can also infer Liu Bei's personality.
The younger brother who has sat on many people has also been ridiculed by many people, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao looked down on this horse archer at all, but now, those two have been buried in the ground, and Liu Bei is still alive. It is enough to see that Liu Bei's lifeblood is coming.
Liu Mang listened to Zhou Yu's words and his eyes flashed, isn't this really the case on the original trajectory, if it weren't for Liu Mang, the current Liu Bei should be preparing for the battle of Chibi with Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others, and then he will become famous in a war, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, and then it was a three-point world, and it was indeed a career.
But today's Liu Bei is really a bit miserable, he failed to kill Lu Bu, but he was repeatedly destroyed by Lu Bu, his son-in-law, and now he almost became a prisoner.
"If Liu Bei returns to Jingzhou, it will be a troublesome matter!" Liu Mang frowned.
The reason why he wanted to take Runan first was to solve Liu Bei's big trouble in Nanyang County, after all, this-stirring stick was uncomfortable.
And what Liu Mang wants in Jingzhou is a complete Jingzhou, a Jingzhou that has not suffered many wars, but not a crippled Jingzhou.
According to Liu Bei's temperament in Yuzhou, what he Liu Bei can't get, he doesn't want others to get, he can destroy him, the people of Yuzhou were fighting to the death on the city, so Liu Mang had to slaughter the city to set an example.
"Why bother! Liu Bei may not be able to reach Xiangyang smoothly, even if he can get to Xiangyang, I'm afraid that the current Xiangyang is not his Liu Bei's! Zhou Yu over there continued to smile and speak.
"What do you mean?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Yu smiled and didn't answer, but gave Liu Mang an answer that was not what he asked: "Have you ever seen who is sent here?" ”
"Who?" Liu Mang glanced at it, and the generals and ministers he brought out were basically here, even Zhang Yun was also standing aside.
"Dove, where is your senior brother?" Liu Mang finally saw who was missing, one was Xu Sheng and the other was Sun Qian.
And Xu Sheng followed Sun Qian.
"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Han, I don't know where my senior brother has gone?!" Dove shook his head, he had already separated from Sun Qian when he accompanied Guan Yu to rescue Liu Bei.
"Lord, if it's good, I'm afraid the current Sun Shilang is in Xiangyang City!" Zhou Yu said to Liu Mang with a smile
"Sun Qian in Xiangyang?"
Zhou Yu took Sun Qian after learning that Liu Bei was going to be rescued. did not follow Zhou Yu and others to encircle and suppress Liu Bei's army. Instead, he changed his direction and went directly to Xiangyang. It seems that he is still very sure that his old lord will be able to escape from Liu Mang's hands.
"If Sun Qian is in Xiangyang at this time?!" Liu Mang's eyes lit up, because Sun Qian didn't go alone, but he was followed by Xu Sheng's five thousand Black Flag Army.
If Sun Qian had embedded in Jingzhou alone with 5,000 Black Flag troops before, he might have been surrounded and wiped out by Liu Bei's army.
But now Liu Bei's two main soldiers and horses, one has been almost wiped out by Liu Mang's army in Nanyang County, and the other is in Yizhou's center to guard against Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army.
It can be said that the current Xiangyang is empty.
If there is a soldier and horse inserted horizontally at this moment, there is a chance that it will be able to occupy Xiangyang City.
There aren't many decent generals in Xiangyang City.
According to Sun Qian's hatred for Liu Bei now. Nine times out of ten, he will not let Liu Bei go, Liu Mang really can't wait to see Liu Bei's expression when he went to Xiangyang City with all his luck, only to find that the city has changed hands.
"Haha, haha!" Liu Mang couldn't help laughing, and when he was happy, it was a big reward.
Such a dispatch of troops can be described as a complete victory, not only to take Runan, it can be said that Yuzhou has fallen into the arms of the Yangzhou army, and now a Nanyang County has been added.
Although Nanyang County belongs to a county in Jingzhou, the place is larger than half of Jingzhou. With the heritage of these Jingzhou scholars, Nanyang County will soon develop into a huge city.
These Jingzhou scholars will definitely support him Liu Mang. It can be regarded as tying them to the chariot of the Yangzhou army.
As the representatives of the Nanyang County Shi clan now, the Kuai family and the Cai family have a lot of rewards.
In addition to rewarding a thousand gold, Kuaijia Kuailiang was recruited by Liu Mang to Shouchun's court, and presiding over Dali Temple was in charge of the punishment of Shouchun's generation. has the privilege of investigating and handling cases, Liu Mang even gave Kuai Liang permission, as long as you Kuai Liang thinks there is a problem, you have the right to investigate and deal with it, and Liu Mang will take the blame for anyone who offends.
This is really a big face, if Kuai Liang has a little bit of a bad heart, then he can arrest anyone except Liu Mang.
But fortunately, Kuai Liang was originally an upright person, and Liu Mang made him the Zongzheng of Dali Temple precisely because he took a fancy to this, the former Kuai Liang used to be the Xiangyang Order of Xiangyang, and Liu Biao also had a headache when he saw Kuai Liang.
Needless to say, Liu Mang married one of his younger sisters, Lord Yanran, to him, which can be regarded as a brother-in-law.
gave Kuai Ran a position as a township, because Kuai Ran didn't have the heart to be an official, otherwise Liu Mang would also be ready to recruit Kuai Ran to the six departments.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are no longer for the time being, so they keep the reward, and there is another Zhang Yun that can't be forgotten.
Although Zhang Yun's Zhang family is not as good as the Cai family and the Kuai family, it is also a rare scholar.
Liu Mang was also stingy with the county guard of Runan County, Yuzhou, and also gave the title of a township marquis.
Let Zhang Yun go to Runan to take office, this is Liu Mang's imperial technique.
The Zhang family, the Cai family, that is the head snake of Jingzhou for more than 100 years.
Liu Mang would not leave these three families in Jingzhou any longer, even if Liu Mang agreed, the strategists around him would not agree, and Xu Shu's cabinet had already arranged the whereabouts of these three families.
The Zhang family went to Runan, the Kuai family stayed in Jingzhou, and the Cai family followed Liu Mang to Yangzhou.
The three must be divided.
The rest is Sun Qian's junior brother, Dove.
This Dove was no longer in Liu Mang's consideration, but this person was recommended by Sun Gan, and he was also a disciple of Zheng Xuan, plus if it weren't for this person, Sun Qian would not have such a good chance of getting the ruling power of Guan Yu's camp, and then he almost handed over Liu Bei to the surface of the Yangtze River.
"Dove, do you know anything about Nanyang County?" Liu Mang asked Dove over there.
"It's not much, but it's also a rough idea!" Dove said modestly.
"Oh? Let's talk about it! Liu Mang said with some interest.
"Although Nanyang County belongs to Jingzhou, it is half of the land and Jingzhou on both sides of the Yangtze River, far away from the city of Wancheng, more than a hundred years ago it was the capital of my Han Dynasty!" Dove said a lot.
Liu Mang couldn't help nodding his head when he listened, the most critical point was that Dove suggested that Liu Mang divide Nanyang County into two offices, with the end of the Yangtze River boundary, the one close to the south of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou is Nanyang County, and the one on the north bank of the Yangtze River is Wancheng County. In this way, it can be convenient for both management and transportation.
Needless to say, the city in Jiangbei wanted to get a reply from the county guard, so he had to send someone across the river to deliver the news.
"Very good!" Liu Mang looked at this Dove and looked very satisfied, and couldn't help but speak, "Mr. Dove, what if this king asks you to be the county guard of Wancheng County?" Liu Mang set his conditions, that is, the county guard of the newly established Wancheng County.
"This, this, this!" Dove hasn't had time to react for a while, he's been playing people before, not in the army, that's the main book.
That's all for people.
When he Dove was able to take charge on his own, the subconscious Edev was a little timid.
"What? Zheng Xuan's apprentice can't even govern a county town? ”
Gritted his teeth, he Dove can't do it, but he can't embarrass the teacher Zheng Xuan.
"Wechen meets the lord!" Dove knelt down towards Liu Mang, and recognized Liu Mang as his master.
"Thank you, my lord!" All of them were rewarded by Liu Mang, so they were naturally happy.
In this battle, Liu Mang eliminated more than 23,000 enemies and captured more than 5,000 people, and the rest were dismissed by Liu Mang.
It can be said that Liu Bei's main force was completely disabled.
The only combat effectiveness that Liu Bei can rely on now is probably the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Zhang Fei's hands, which no longer poses a threat to Yangzhou.
"Pass my military orders! Rest for a day, early tomorrow morning, send troops across the river! "What Liu Mang wants is not only to destroy Liu Bei's army, but also to get the whole of Jingzhou.
"Whoa!"
……
Liu Bei entered the land of Xiangyang, because he had to guard against the attack of the Yangzhou army, so the originally prosperous business circle of Xiangyang City had been cast into a solid city defense by Pang Shiyuan.
The population is much smaller, and after entering the territory of Xiangyang, Liu Bei and others did not dare to take the waterway, plus there were few war horses in the south, and along the way, Liu Bei walked very hard.
"Lord, hold on for a while, as long as you hold on for a while, we will be on the outskirts of Xiangyang City!" Pang Shiyuan is very familiar with Xiangyang, after all, he has lived here for a long time.
Liu Bei could only grit his teeth and persist when he heard Pang Shiyuan's words, he was really exhausted in the water, plus he was in a hurry overnight, and there were only some wild fruits and weeds on the road in his stomach, and he was already hungry.
"What people!" Just when Liu Bei wanted to sit down and rest for a while, there was a sudden movement over there. (To be continued......)
