Hearing the news of the return of the army, Liu Bei personally led everyone out of the city to greet him, and took Wang Baoyu's hand like a lover and entered the city together.

During the banquet, Liu Bei pulled Wang Baoyu to the same table with him, kept pouring him wine, and sandwiched a lot of dishes for him, which attracted countless envious eyes, but Wang Baoyu's merits were clearly displayed, and no one expressed any dissatisfaction.

"Prepare for the help of the fourth brother and the military advisor, burn Bowang Xinye, Liansun defeated Cao Cao, invincible, the enemy is frightened, and today Fang Jue is not in vain." Liu Bei sighed with tears in his eyes.

"Big brother, this is just the beginning, in the future, you will have a bigger territory and achieve your lifelong dream." Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

"Thanks to the blessing of the fourth brother, if there is a day, I will make the fourth brother on the throne and make the marquis a knight." Liu Bei excitedly took Wang Baoyu's hand again.

Wang Baoyu smiled and shrank back, this is too awkward, he doesn't like Liu Bei's empty favor, and said hypocritically: "We are brothers, don't talk about this, as long as the eldest brother achieves great things and saves the people from fire and water, the younger brother will be happy for you, even if you live in seclusion in the mountains and forests." ”

Zhuge Liang threw an approving look at Wang Baoyu, and sure enough, Liu Bei was very satisfied, and laughed: "If everyone is as open-minded as the fourth brother, no one in the world can be defeated!" ”

Immediately, Liu Bei announced that Guan Ting and Ma Liang would be rewarded, and Fan Jinqiang would be promoted to general. Fan Jinqiang saw Wang Baoyu shaking his head slightly, only saying that his credit was too small, and he refused to agree.

Liu Bei was not reluctant, so he rewarded some gold and silver. He knew very well in his heart that this person was too righteous and could not be used by Wang Baoyu.

It's almost the right thing to be rewarded, but I don't know what Liu Bei thinks, he screams as a brother on his lips, and he is affectionate like a mother, but he still doesn't give Wang Baoyu a reward.

Wang Baoyu doesn't care, the people who are going to leave sooner or later have enough savings, and the other things that are famous and profitable are simply floating clouds.

Liu Bei was happy from the bottom of his heart today, and drank glass after glass of wine, slightly drunk. It's no wonder that there has been no place for him, and Xia Kou still borrowed it from Liu Qi. Although Liu Qi was thoughtful and polite, the problem was that Liu Bei was also very polite to Liu Qi, and he was short of hands.

Today is different, it already has the land of three counties, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, just like the tiger returns to the mountains and forests, the dragon enters the sea, and the great cause is profitable. Thinking of this, Liu Bei's heart was overjoyed, and he poured himself a glass of wine.

During the banquet, someone persuaded Liu Bei to move his troops south, and Liu Bei also had this thought, and turned back to discuss with Zhuge Liang: "What is the intention of the military advisor?" ”

Zhuge Liang replied very simply, no!

Liu Bei was stunned, theoretically speaking, the scale of the three counties of Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling is larger than that of Xiakou, and it is also its own territory, so it seems that it can be moved over.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand again and smiled slightly: "Lord, Zhou Yu has not taken Nanjun so far. Among the lords, the dragon and phoenix are going to sit in Nanjun. ”

Haha, Liu Bei didn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart for the first time, and laughed loudly. Of course, this is what he likes to listen to the most, Nanjun is different from the four southern counties, the geographical location is very superior, extending in all directions, to the east can attack Jiangdong, to the north can attack Cao Cao, to the west can go deep into Xichuan, is a place that can do great things.

Speaking of Nanjun, I have to go back and talk about Zhou Yu, after a long time of recuperation, his arrow wound was finally healed, but it left an ugly scar. This is undoubtedly a very regrettable thing for a perfectionist handsome guy, and I don't know if Xiao Qiao will dislike him because of this.

No matter how the Jiangdong soldiers scolded, Cao Ren was willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he still stuck to Nanjun, which shows how sufficient the reserves of grain and grass in the city are.

Zhou Yu was very distressed, coughing all night, and after the doctor's diagnosis, he said that he had a lung problem, and he could only recuperate, and he must not be angry.

How could Zhou Yu listen to persuasion, and on this day, he summoned the civil and military to come to discuss the matter, and asked: "Princes, Nanjun is so stubborn, it is useless to wait with us, I don't know what good plan you have." ”

"If you can't take it for a while, you can't force it, withdraw the army back to Jiangdong, and recuperate is the best policy." Lu Su was the first to step forward.

Although Lu Su said very reasonably, Zhou Yu didn't like to hear it, although Nanjun had not yet been captured, Cao Ren was not his opponent, and he had spent a lot of energy here, how could he just leave?

Seeing that Zhou Yu was silent, the rest of the soldiers who had the same opinion as Lu Su also shut up one after another, and the scene was a little cold for a while.

"Governor Dadu, the veteran is willing to lead the army to attack the city, see how many days Cao Ren can hold out!" Cheng Pu stepped forward.

Zhou Yu was moved by Cheng Pu's loyalty, but he still didn't speak, and it wasn't that he hadn't attacked it, so it wouldn't work at all, but it would lose his troops and generals. In order to take Nanjun, he lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, which made Zhou Yu feel gloomy every time he thought about it.

The veteran Huang Gai thought for a while, and said: "Governor, now Cao Ren can't hold out, and there are a few fierce generals, so it is not appropriate to attack." I have a plan, I can take the South County. ”

Zhou Yu's face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly asked, "Please speak publicly!" ”

"Nanjun is high, and it is not easy to attack the city, but we can dig deep tunnels, sneak in, hide their unpreparedness, and take Nanjun in one fell swoop." Huang Gai Road.

"Good!" Zhou Yu slapped the desk suddenly, and just wanted to say that he would do it, but Lu Su raised an objection: "Old general, I have a concern, Cao Ren is treacherous, if he finds out and floods him, what should I do?" ”

Huang Gai was stunned, but still insisted on his opinion: "Zijing's words are not unreasonable, just act carefully, the army selects strong soldiers to dig the road, and they will not let them find out." ”

"Old general, digging the road is time-consuming, what should we do during this period?" Lu Su still felt unreliable.

"You can pretend to attack the city during the day, and dig tunnels at night, so that you can enter Nanjun in just over a month!" Huang Gai said confidently, and many people under the account also echoed it, thinking it was a good idea.

Zhou Yu's eyes finally had some brilliance, and he made a decision: "According to what the public said, dig deep into the tunnel, and you will definitely capture that Cao Ren alive!" ”

Jiangdong's interior is very united, the news of digging tunnels was covered up, and then, Zhou Yu secretly arranged a group of strong soldiers, behind a nearby hill, began a huge tunnel warfare project, and carried the soil night and night.

Of course, it will take time to dig tunnels, and Mr. Wang Baoyu, after going home to meet his relatives, his butt was not yet hot, and Liu Bei issued an order to order Guan Yu to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, Wang Baoyu and others to follow, and set off on the same day, and then went to take down the last of the four southern counties, Changsha County.
