Zhuge Liang was asked to leave by Liu Bei first, and Nan Ye and Pang Tong naturally pounced when they came back. This made Nan Ye couldn't help but sigh that Liu Bei's life was good. Now that Zhuge Liang has gone out of the mountain, Nan Ye's trip is considered a vain run. After visiting Sima Hui and Pang Degong, the group returned to Jiaozhou.

Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to treat him like a teacher, and he was at the same table when he ate, discussing the affairs of the world all day long. Zhuge Liang found out that Cao Cao was training his naval army in Xuanwu Pond, and knew that he had the intention of invading the south, so he asked Liu Bei to send people to Jiangdong to inquire about the news, so as to prepare for the future resistance to Cao.

However, it was said that after Sun Quan inherited his father's and brother's inheritance, he was bent on stabilizing Jiangdong. Follow Nanye's example to open a recruitment hall to recruit wise men. In just a few years, there are many good ministers to vote, among which there are Kan Ze, the word Derun. Peng Cheng Yan Zhen, the word Mancai. Wu Jun Zhu Huan, the word Humu. Wu people Zhang Wen, the word Huishu. Hurt Luo Tong, the word Gongxu. Wu Cheng Wu Cang, the word Kong Xiu. There are also a number of good generals, it is Runan Lu Meng, and the words are clear. Langya Xu Sheng, the word to. Dongjun Pan Zhang, the word Wenqi. Lujiang Ding Feng, the word Chengyuan. The civil and military people assisted each other, making Jiangdong stable, and Sun Quan's prestige gradually surpassed that of his father and brother.

Sun Quan wanted to avenge his father with the help of civil and military forces, and ordered Zhou Yu to be the governor of the capital, and he was in charge of the navy and army. Lü Meng was the vanguard of the front, Dong Xi and Pan Zhang were the deputy generals, and Sun Quan led an army of 50,000 to conquer Huang Zu.

Carefully explored, the Eastern Wu soldiers arrived and reported to Jiangxia. Huang Zu urgently summoned the generals to discuss, and ordered Su Fei to be the general, Chen Zhi and Deng Long to be the vanguard, and to meet the enemy with the troops of Jiangxia.

Chen Zhuo and Deng Long each led a team of Meng Chong fighting ships to intercept the mouth, and Meng Chong set up more than 1,000 strong bows and hard crossbows, and tied them to Meng Chong with ropes, across the water. When the Eastern Wu soldiers arrived, Meng Chong rushed to the war drums and sounded the bows and crossbows in unison, and the soldiers did not dare to enter and withdrew for several miles.

Pan Zhang discussed with Dong Xi: "We have to enter as the vanguard deputy general, and we can only fight to the death." So the two chose more than 100 small boats and more than 5,000 elite soldiers. Each boat had 50 soldiers, of which 20 were supporting the boat, and 30 were each wearing clothes and armor, holding long knives and shields, and did not avoid bows and arrows.

Dong Xi took advantage of the chaos to jump on Meng Chong and hacked Deng Long to death. Chen abandoned the boat when he saw that something was wrong, and Lu Meng jumped off the boat and chased him with his own boat. Before Chen could get ashore, Lü Meng rushed to him and slashed him down.

Su Fei learned that the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu were attacking at night, and led the army to come to respond, but the battle situation had been decided, and the generals of Eastern Wu went ashore together, which was overwhelming. The two armies fought for a while, and Su Fei fled in the wilderness, meeting the general Pan Zhang. The two horses intersected, and after the battle was not counted, Su Fei was beheaded by Pan Zhang.

Huang Zu's soldiers were defeated and dying, and he knew that he couldn't hold it, so he abandoned Jiangxia and fled to Jingzhou. Zhou Yu had long expected that Huang Zu was going to run, and the ambush soldiers waited outside the east gate. As soon as Huang Zu left the city not far away, he heard the sound of killing everywhere, and Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng blocked the way. The second general saw Huang Zu's eyes red, and the ambush soldiers swarmed up and beheaded Huang Zu in the chaos.

Cheng Pu stepped forward to cut off Huang Zu's head and returned to Sun Quan, who ordered people to put it in a wooden box so that it could be sacrificed in front of the dead father's spirit. His father's revenge was avenged, and Sun Quan rewarded the three armies and discussed the division of troops to defend Jiangxia.

Zhang Zhao advised: "The lonely city cannot be defended, so it is better to go back to Jiangdong." Liu Biao learned that Huang Zu would come to take revenge when he died, and I would defeat Liu Biao if I waited for work. Liu Biao was defeated, and we took advantage of the situation to pursue, and Jing Xiang could get it. Sun Quan obeyed his words, abandoned Jiangxia, and returned to Jiangdong.

When the news of Huang Zu's death reached Xiangyang, Liu Biao was horrified. Jingzhou is the land of four wars, Liu Zhang in the west is mediocre, the defense is still insufficient, and there is no enterprising spirit, Liu Biao does not need to be guarded. Nan Ye has always been good friends with Liu Biao, and Liu Biao is not worried. Only Cao Cao in the north and Sun Quan in the east are Liu Biao's fierce rivals, but Liu Biao also has a way to deal with it, which is to use Liu Bei to defend the new field to defend Cao Cao, and Huang Zu to guard Jiangxia to defend Sun Quan. Now that Huang Zu is dead, Liu Biao is equal to losing the eastern barrier, how can he not be in a hurry?

Liu Biao was already old, and he couldn't afford to get sick under the panic, even if he wanted to avenge Huang Zu, he was powerless. At this time, Liu Biao remembered Liu Bei, so he wanted to ask Liu Bei to send troops to fight against Eastern Wu on his behalf and avenge Huang Zu.

Liu Bei previously probed the situation in Jiangdong according to Zhuge Liang's words, and naturally found out that Huang Zu's troops were defeated and died when Eastern Wu sent troops. Therefore, as soon as Liu Biao's envoy arrived in Xinye, Zhuge Liang concluded that Liu Biao wanted Liu Bei to send troops to attack Eastern Wu.

Zhuge Liang had already set a plan for Liu Bei to tie up with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao, and at this time Zhuge Liang would rather offend Liu Biao than offend Sun Quan, so he persuaded Liu Bei not to send troops.

Liu Bei obeyed Zhuge Liang's words, but he didn't know how to refuse Liu Biao. It happened that Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, saw that Liu Biao was seriously ill and was worried about his stepmother, Mrs. Cai, so he came to ask Liu Bei for advice. Zhuge Liang set up a plan and ordered Liu Qi to guard Jiangxia. First, to prevent Liu Bei from sending troops to make enemies with Sun Quan. Second, he helped Liu Qi and asked Liu Bei to add a strong reinforcement.

Sun Quan saw that Liu Biao was strictly defended and did not send troops to attack, so he summoned the generals to discuss sending troops to recruit Liu Biao again. Zhou Yu persuaded: "The lord's previous crusade against Huang Zu was to avenge his father, and his name was justified. Now that Huang Zu is dead, the lord is nameless again, and this is one of them. Moreover, Cao Cao practiced the navy greatly, with the intention of going south, and Liu Biao was not a battle that could be determined, if Cao Cao came to attack when the lord sent troops, Jiangdong would be in danger. Liu Biao is now seriously ill, and the lord can strictly prevent Cao Cao from waiting for the sky, if Liu Biao dies, the land of Jingxiang is at his fingertips. ”

Zhou Yu's words made Sun Quan dispel the idea of fighting Liu Biao again, and while training soldiers and horses, he waited for the news of Liu Biao's death. In the east, Sun Quan retired to raise the people, and in the west, Liu Zhang no longer competed with Zhang Lu after losing the four counties in Nanzhong, but strictly guarded it. Cao Cao in the north and Nanye in the south did not move troops, and the world was peaceful for a while. However, people of insight in the world can see that the current peace is just a flash in the pan in the troubled times, and the calm before the storm.

Winter goes to spring and comes another year, after Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang, the three top strategists, came out of the mountain one after another, another amazing and brilliant figure appeared on the stage of history in this year. Sima Yi was dismissed by Cao Cao as a literary scholar and embarked on a career in office.

Sima Yi, whose name is Zhongda, is a native of Wen County, Hanoi. He is the grandson of Sima Jun, the Taishou of Yingchuan, the son of Sima Fang of Jingzhao Yin, and the younger brother of Sima Lang, the chief secretary of Cao Cao.

I don't know if it's the reason why the heroes of the world see the same, Sima Yi is also reluctant to go out to Cao Cao like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. When Cao Cao summoned him to serve in the palace, Sima Yi used the excuse that he had wind paralysis and was physically unable to move. Cao Cao didn't believe it, so he sent an assassin to test it. The assassin infiltrated Sima Yi's mansion and pointed a knife at him. Sima Yi guessed that Cao Cao was deliberately tempting, and lay motionless on the bed, as if he was really infected with wind paralysis. The assassin could only report back to Cao Cao and say, "Sima Yi is indeed sick!" ”

Sima Yi fooled the assassins, but he couldn't fool Cao Cao. Within two days, Cao Cao directly sent a messenger to recruit Sima Yi again, and said to the messenger: "If you don't come again, you will arrest him." When Sima Yi heard this, he didn't dare to pretend to be sick anymore, so he had to go to Cao Cao.
