Chapter 695: Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition
Hebei, Yecheng, on the side of the Zhanghe River.
After Yuan Shang pacified Tuoba Liwei, he immediately arranged the deployment and sorted out the follow-up matters, and then immediately led the troops back to Hebei.
At the same time, Cao Zhi also handed over the military power secretly entrusted to him by Yuan Shang's design, so that the generals of the Cao clan returned with him and returned to an idle life.
At this time, the two stood side by side on the side of the Zhanghe River, looking at the rushing river, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are gold rush heroes, and Tuoba Liwei has also been taken away by God."
Cao Zhi glared at Yuan Shang obliquely, and said sarcastically unceremoniously: "First of all, this is not the Yangtze River, but the Zhanghe River, and secondly, Tuoba Liwei was not taken away by God, it was pitted by you." โ
Yuan Shang didn't refute when he heard this, but just smiled and said: "You are not greedy for power, as soon as you come back, you will hand over the military power, I thought you would take the opportunity to help me pacify Tuoba and make some demands." โ
Cao Zhi let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Pull it down, after seeing Tuoba Liwei's fate, if I still dare to get sรจ, won't I become a fool?" You'd better stop and let me live for a few years. โ
Yuan Shang said helplessly: "You are different from Tuoba Liwei, he is my ally, you are my friend, how can you treat your friends on a par with your allies?" โ
Cao Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Did you also use this to bluff Tuoba Liwei back then?" โ
Yuan Shang touched his nose, smiled slightly, and didn't speak.
After being silent for a while, he suddenly heard Cao Zhi say: "I heard that over there in Xichuan, Liu Bei raised the army of the country to the east, and Sun Quan also summoned all his troops and horses to fight against it, this is a good opportunity for you." โ
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "How do you say this?" โ
Cao Zhi replied when he heard this: "Shu Sheng will take the opportunity to destroy Wu, and Wu Sheng will take the opportunity to destroy Shu, and the world will be able to achieve success at that time." Who's going to stop you? โ
Yuan Shang nodded, and suddenly said, "Then in your opinion, who can win the battle of Wushu?" โ
Cao Zhi thought for a while and said: "Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are eager for revenge, and they are also the soldiers of the country, and their momentum is like a rainbow, and Zhuge Liang of Wolong is also a genius in the world, I think Liu Bei has a better chance of winning." โ
Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, and said, "Actually, I think so too. โ
Cao Zhi was silent for a while. "What are you going to do next?" How to act? โ
Yuan Shang raised his head and laughed: "I plan to stay for a few days, then return to the Central Plains, sit in Xuchang, and then secretly gather troops and horses......"
Speaking of this, Yuan Shang raised his head, looked at the white clouds and dogs slowly floating in the sky, and secretly thought to himself: This time, I will also gather all the soldiers and horses to make a thunderous blow. Let Sun Liu see how much strength my Hebei Yuan family has been operating for many years~!
********************************
Yuan Shang cleaned up Tuoba Liwei in Hebei, and Liu Bei raised an army to attack Eastern Wu, and the land and water armies marched together. Zhang Fei, the vanguard of the front, led 100,000 elite soldiers in Langzhong and left Xichuankou first.
On the side of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan sat in Nanxu, and he made Zhou Yu the governor. Sitting in Jingzhou, Lu Su and Lu Meng were auxiliary to fight against Liu Bei.
I heard that the pioneer Zhang Fei went out of Sichuan. Zhou Yu sat in Jiangling, and immediately called on the generals to discuss the strategy of confrontation.
Zhou Yu sat in the lobby, looked around, and said: "Liu Bei, in order to avenge Guan Yu's revenge, raised a soldier to pour the country, with Zhang Fei as the vanguard of the front, led 100,000 vanguard troops, and committed my Jingzhou, what do you think?" โ
Beside Zhou Yu, Lu Meng thought for a while and said: "Liu Bei's army is full of morale, its momentum is sharp, Zhang Fei himself is also unstoppable, the top priority should be to hold on, the western gateway of Jingzhou, when in Zigui, if you can block Zhang Fei in Zigui, after a long time, it can be done." โ
Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng appreciatively, and exclaimed: "Ziming's words are in line with the intention of the governor, everyone, which of you is willing to lead the troops to Zigui to block Zhang Fei?" โ
When Zhou Yu's words fell, a young general Sun Huan stood up and said, "The governor of the capital, the last general is willing to go." โ
Zhou Yu was happy and said with a smile: "The little general is brave and brave, and he deserves to be Wu Hou's relatives, but Zhang Fei is a tiger general in the world, and few people can resist it, I am afraid that the little general is not Zhang Fei's opponent." โ
When Sun Huan heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said: "The Governor of the Metropolitan wants to grow Zhang Fei's morale, although he is brave, he is only a brave man, why be afraid?" The last general has been studying military books since he was a child, although he does not dare to say that he will win against Zhang Fei, but it is not difficult to hold on to a return! The last general is willing to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Zigui and share the worries of the metropolitan governor! โ
Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this: "The young general is so brave, the governor is very comforted, or so, I will send you 5,000 elite soldiers, you go to guard Zigui, as long as you can block Zhang Fei for a month, I will gather the troops and horses of the Jingzhou headquarters to support." โ
Sun Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, and then took the order and left.
Lu Su looked at Sun Huan's back as he walked out of the main hall worriedly, thought for a while, and said: "Metropolitan Governor, although Sun Huan is a young hero, but Zhang Fei is not simple, this person followed Liu Bei into Sichuan at the beginning, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but he is really a person who is thick and fine, and there is no shortage of scheming, not to mention that when Lu Bu was alive, he was also very afraid of flying bravely, it can be said that he has both courage and strategy, Sun Huan is young and vigorous, but I am afraid that he will not be able to stop him." โ
Zhou Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, but did not speak, but his eyes were deep and slightly thoughtful.
***********************
Zhang Feibing went out of Xichuankou, Liu Bei's army was still in Sichuan, and when he heard the spies say, Zhou Yu sent Sun Huan as the vanguard of the front and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Zigui, and he couldn't help but laugh angrily.
"My third brother is a hero in the world, invincible, unstoppable, and I have 100,000 people under my command, what kind of person is Sun Huan? Dare to defend the city with only 5,000 soldiers and horses? Ordered my third brother to quickly attack and fall to Zigui within ten days! โ
When Liu Bei said these words, Zhuge Liang had been sitting beside him, gently shaking the feather fan, without saying a word, and after the herald left, Zhuge Liang said a few words to Liu Bei, and then walked out of the handsome tent under the pretext of leaving his student Ma Tan behind him.
Out of the handsome tent, Ma Jian immediately said to Zhuge Liang: "Military division, the lord ordered General Zhang to attack Zigui within ten days, do you think you can attack it?" โ
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "Of course you can win, what is Sun Huan, how can you compare with Zhang Yide...... But ......"
Ma Yan's expression tightened, and he said, "But what? โ
"But Sun Huan is just an introduction, Zhou Yu must have a follow-up move."
Ma Tan was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then sir, why don't you remind the lord?" โ
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "The lord is angry, his mind is unstable, it is good to let Zhang Fei lose for a while, at least it can make him and the lord himself calm down, if he can't be calm, how can he defeat Zhou Yu?" (To be continued......)
