The second guard listened to Yan Yan's words. But hesitation! There was indeed a rebuke for this news before. However, it has not yet been confirmed, so Liu Bei did not dare to make a rash conclusion, but after listening to Yan Yan's analysis, Liu Bei felt reasonable.

Just as Liu Bei was hesitating, a guard outside rushed in and said loudly: "Lord, Linjiang is urgent!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked and said, "Linjiang? What's going on? ”

When the guards heard this, they hurriedly said: "Lord, this is a letter sent by the messenger from Linjiang for help."

Liu Bei was still hurriedly opening the letter, and Zhuge Liang's face had changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "It's not good!" It must be that Yongnian's side has failed, so that Chengdu knows the situation on the Jiangzhou side, but I am afraid that the Chengdu army will make a detour to attack Linjiang! ”

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang and looked at the letter. The more he looked at his face, the more surprised he became, but in the end, he sighed: "Isn't the military advisor a celestial?" ”

The crowd heard. They were all puzzled, but Liu Bei handed the letter to Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi read it. Looking at Zhuge Liang's face, it also became extremely strange, when everyone had read the letter. But they looked at Zhuge Liang with strange eyes. Zhuge Liang finally took the letter, glanced at it, and now what was written on it was not much different from what he had just said. However, it was the Linjiang guard general who found out that there was an army going to Linjiang, and he was afraid that Linjiang would not be able to hold it. Specially asked Liu Bei for help.

After Zhuge Liang finished reading the letter, he wanted to speak a little, but suddenly stopped. The muscles in his face trembled slightly. Only then did he say to Liu Bei: "Lord shrug." Linjiang is in danger, if Linjiang is lost, our army will become a lone army. Therefore, Liang thought that the troops should be withdrawn immediately. small

Linjiang is in danger. At this time, even Yan Yan didn't dare to ask Liu Bei to stay any longer. If Linjiang is really lost, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not attack Jiangzhou at that time. Even whether he can save his life is a question.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Military Division, if our army retreats at this time, will Zhang Xiu?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Xiu, they don't know about Linjiang yet." Therefore, we did not expect our army to retreat, and the lord ordered the generals to immediately ask the soldiers to pack their bags. We withdrew overnight. Zhang Xiu knew that our army had withdrawn, I am afraid it was already dawn, and the foot soldiers in Jiangzhou would not be able to catch up with our army at all, and what Zhang Xiu could send was Ganning's navy. ”

Liu Bei listened, nodded, and said, "Yide, Shuzhi, Wenchang, you and others will go to reorganize the army." prepared to withdraw the troops, and Zhongye was in charge of the retreat of the navy, and the four of them could hear it. At the same time, he turned out of the camp after the promise.

After everyone went out, only Yan Yan, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang stayed in the tent. Yan Yan bowed to Liu Bei. said: "Yan Youxiao is in Jiangzhou in Zhang Xiu's hands, and Uncle Huang is going to Linjiang." I'm afraid that I can't go with him

Liu Bei listened. He was speechless with Zhuge Liang. The Yan family is a large family in Jiangzhou, and Yan Yan helped Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu to become enemies. Zhang Xiu did not take Yan Yan Lao Xiao under the knife, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. If Yan Yan followed Liu Bei to Linjiang, he was afraid that Zhang Xiu would do it. Although Yan Yan is not afraid of death. But for the sake of the family's legacy. Yan Yan also had to give in.

Liu Bei heard it, but finally waved his hand and said, "The old general's family is all in Zhang Xiu's hands. Do not leave with Bei also understand. Tomorrow morning, Zhang Xiuruo will come. The old general led the wounded soldiers in the battalion to surrender to Zhang Xiu. If these wounded troop vehicles arrive at Linjiang, I am afraid that there will be no one out of ten, and there will be at least hope of survival if they stay here. Heaven has the virtue of a good life

Liu Bei said a lot of words to Yan Yan, and Yan Yan, an old man who was used to the wind and rain, was moved to tears. In the end, he nodded and said: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, Yan will never serve under Zhang Xiu'er."

Liu Bei heard this. finally stopped, didn't speak again, just nodded solemnly, hugged his fist towards Yan Yan and said, "Old general, take care."

Yan Yan also hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Huang take care!" ”

At this time, Zhang Fei and the others had already completed the army, and Liu Bei and his generals immediately left the camp in a hurry and rushed to the direction of Linjiang.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Xiu, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning led the army to Liu Bei's camp. The net was about to attack, and he saw Yan Yan ordering someone to open the gate of the camp. Led the wounded soldiers to surrender.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu was extremely surprised, and instructed Tai Shici to deal with the situation of Yan Yan and the wounded soldiers. At the same time, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng were urgently recruited. Pang Tong came to the camp and was very surprised to hear that Liu Bei had withdrawn his troops, and said to himself: "Kong Ming may be able to think of the intentions of our army. But Liu Bei couldn't be willing to withdraw from the army! What exactly went wrong is small

Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Why should Shi Yuan worry. Recruit Yan Yan and ask for self-knowledge

Zhang Xiu listened, nodded, and immediately sent someone to bring Yan Yan over, and before long Yan Yan was brought. Zhang Xiu immediately asked: "Old general, I don't know why Liu Bei withdrew overnight." ”

Yan Yan just snorted when he heard it. And there was no answer. Zhang Xiu could hear it. was a little embarrassed, his face changed several times, and Gan Ning next to him saw that Zhang Xiu's face was lost. He also snorted angrily and shouted, "Old man." And don't be embarrassed. My father-in-law is looking up to you when he asks you. Don't forget your current identity, if you don't cooperate with our army, be careful of your Yan family, you should know what Lao Tzu did before, killing more than 100 members of a family. Lao Tzu won't even blink an eye

Yan Yan heard this, his face turned red again, Zhang Xiu smiled secretly in his heart, and secretly praised Gan Ning for being clever. patted Gan Ning's shoulder and said, "Old general." What Xingba said just now was just a joke, and the general really wanted to know why Liu Bei had withdrawn. If it is inconvenient for the old general to say it, the general will not force it. After speaking, he looked at Yan Yan with a smile.

Yan Yan saw that Zhang Xiu and Gan Ning were singing and harmonizing, and he didn't know the meaning of the words. After a light snort. However, he told Zhang Xiu and others the details of the retreat because of the appearance of an enemy army near Linjiang.

Zhang Xiu listened. nodded clearly, and sent someone to lead Yan Yan down to entertain him, and then asked Fa Zheng and Pang Tong: "Xiaozhi, Shiyuan, what do you think?" It is impossible for our army to be able to divide troops to take Linjiang, where did this army come from? ”

Pang Tong bowed his head in contemplation. Fa Zheng was smiling. Pointing to the west. said: "Don't forget that there is still a large army in Chengdu in B."

Zhang Xiu heard this, and muttered to herself suspiciously: "Chengdu? Wen Wei and Xu Rong are both sitting in Chengdu. It is impossible to leave, and there is no general in Chengdu. How could there be soldiers to attack Linjiang. ”

Fa Zheng laughed and said, "The lord has known Wen Wei for so long, don't you know his ability?" What Wen Wei is doing is just a bluff

Zhang Xiu listened, and his brows tightened. muttered to himself: "Bluffing is indeed feasible, but it is impossible not to see it with the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming." ”

At this time, Pang Tong suddenly laughed loudly, two and two mixed, and asked the shark suspiciously! "Why are you laughing?" … river

Pang Tong bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Tong knows the reason." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this and asked anxiously, "Shi Yuan said."

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Don't forget what Yan Yan said, Liu Bei actually doesn't want to give up attacking Jiangzhou. But Kong Ming had already seen through our army's desire to defeat both of them, and Kong Ming persuaded Liu Bei not to stop. It just so happened that the news of Linjiang came at this time, even if Kong Ming saw through this plan, but in order to let Liu Bei withdraw from the army. also pretended not to know. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and said: "I see! Filial piety, Shiyuan. Do you think that you are going to pursue Liu Bei? ”

The two shook their heads at the same time, and Fa Zheng said: "Liu Bei's army has been gone all night, and our army can't catch up if it wants to, and now it's close to late autumn." I thought that the main father would return to Chengdu quickly and handle all the big and small affairs of Yizhou. Liu Bei's momentum is exhausted, and it is not too late for our army to attack next year after resting

Pang Tong listened. also nodded, and Gan Ning next to him also persuaded: Little lord, this year's continuous battle. The soldiers were tired. At this time, it was not the time to pursue, and the last general thought that it was better to rest and recuperate, and finally nodded in agreement. Although Liu Bei retreated. But Zhang Xiu didn't dare to be careless. left Tai Shici and Guan Hai in Jiangzhou, and he returned to Chengdu with Gan Ning, Wang Shuang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and the injured Huang Zhong.

In the Taishou Mansion of Shu County, Chengdu, everyone was present.

Zhang Xiu asked Li Ru with a smile: "Wen Worry, Liu Bei's retreat is a strategy for you?"

Li Ru bowed his hand and said: "The lord is wise, Confucianism is just a little trick."

Zhang Xiu laughed and said: "Wen Wei doesn't have to be humble, he will always be rewarded for his merits." After speaking, he recited a large number of meritorious people and rewarded them one by one. Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and Li Ru naturally made the greatest contributions, but they only rewarded Zhang Xiu with some gold and silver and added some money. A few people didn't care. They all know that Zhang Xiu still has the title of General of the Fat Cavalry, and there are not many people under him who can be sealed, and that official quality is already the highest at this stage, and it cannot be mentioned again. But every one of them has a lot of power, and that's enough.

When the day of unification is achieved, then everyone will be the founder of the country.

After the reward, Zhang Xiu asked Li Rudao: "Xiao Wenwei, I will go to Jiangzhou during this period." What is the situation in the world? Li Ru heard this, and immediately told Zhang Xiu and others about the situation in the world at this time.

Zhang Xiu attacked Yizhou, and fought with Liu Bei in Jiangzhou, but on the Hebei side, Cao Cao's army had already broken through Youzhou. The second son of the Yuan family couldn't stop Cao Cao's troops at all, and fled to Wumad. At the end of the battle between Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei, Cao Cao's army had already climbed Xu Wushan, left Lulongsai, and fought with the Northeast Wuku.

When Cao Cao captured Youzhou, he switched to Cao Cao in the first battle of Guandu. Xu You, the strategist who made Cao Cao able to defeat Yuan Shao, was killed by Cao Cao's guard Xu Yu because he was proud of his achievements and was too arrogant.

On the other hand, Sun Jian, who was originally persuaded by Zhuge Liang to prepare to go out of Huainan, did not send troops to Zhunnan after Sun Xiaoce and Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang, but did not move and waited for the changes in the world. But Zhang Xiu's spies in Jiangdong found out the news. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lü Meng and others sent a large number of spies to Jingzhou to investigate the situation in Jingzhou, and Xu Shu in Jingzhou was not slow to react, and the two sides turned from open dispute to secret fighting.

In fact, Sun Ce was still very dissatisfied with Sun Jian's rash change of strategy and not attacking Jingzhou. But in Zhou Yu's view, Jingzhou now is not as easy to deal with as it was in Liu Biao's era. In Liu Biao's era, although Jiangdong faced Jingzhou and pressed to fight, Jingzhou had not lost much place for more than ten years, and it was obvious that Jiangdong attacked Jingzhou from Jiangdong against the river, and Jiangdong could not occupy the geographical advantage. And neither side occupies the time. As for the people, Jiangdong has an excuse for revenge, which can be regarded as an equal share with Jingzhou.

Now that Liu Biao has retired, although the nominal lord of Jingzhou is Liu Di, there is no grandiose excuse for Jiangdong to change the master and aspect, plus Huang Zu, who injured Sun Jian, is dead. That Jiangdong is no longer as good as Jingzhou. And Jingzhou also changed Guan Yu and Xu Shu to defend the palace, and it was more difficult for Jiangdong to forcibly take Jingzhou. Therefore, in Zhou Yu's view, it is better not to take Jingzhou by force. and turn into outwitting. Therefore, Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Jian not to go out on a random expedition first, but to pause and watch the situation in the world change, and then strike a fatal blow at a critical time.

In Zhou Yu's view, the current strength of Jiangdong is inferior to Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, and Jiangdong is indeed as Zhuge Liang said, there are only two roads to Huainan, Xuzhou to the north and Jingzhou to the west. However, Cao Cao had heavy troops stationed in Huainan, and Chen Deng in Xuzhou was repeatedly using strategies to block the Jiangdong army, and it was better to take the weaker Liu Bei first as an enemy with Cao Cao.

But now that Liu Bei has taken Jingzhou, his strength has swelled rapidly. In addition, with the help of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, and Zhang Zhiyong, it is not good for Jiangdong to touch Liu Bei's edge. It is better to wait for Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu or Cao Cao to fight each other and fight exhausted before Jiangdong sends troops. It's better that way.

Moreover, Jiangdong's current advantage is only in the navy, and in terms of the army, Jiangdong's army combat strength will remain at most the same as when he was fighting Dong, or it may be slightly inferior. And now the combat power of the soldiers under the princes of the world is no longer comparable to the time when Dong Dong was fighting, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which Dong Zhuo borrowed to run rampant in the world, has been defeated by Zhang Xiu's elite, and in terms of elite troops, Zhang Xiu's Iron Cavalry is the uncrowned king. In addition, Cao Cao's subordinates borrowed the Qingzhou soldiers to start small, as well as elite troops, tiger and leopard cavalry, tiger guards, etc., are also extremely powerful. After Jingzhou Liu Bei went through a ** training, the combat power of the Jingzhou army was raised to a higher level, and there were also elite troops with white ears. Definitely not to be underestimated.

Therefore, at this time, Zhou Yu instead suggested that Sun Jian suspend the attack. While waiting for the fighter, he scraped the elite, and when it was time to strike, he would deliver a thunderous blow. After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Jian also understood what Zhou Yu meant, it is better to attack indiscriminately. Moreover, Jiangdong has also sent troops for several years, either to attack Huainan or Jingzhou, and there are already some complaints within Jiangdong, so it is still very feasible to stop the expedition at this time and accumulate strength.

As for Zhang Xiu's side, in addition to capturing Yizhou and fighting a battle with Liu Bei, the armies of Zhao Yun, Ma, and Pang Tong in the north also successfully took the Outer Great Wall, and the garrison infantry also successfully stationed. Zhao Yun's army also entered Dazhuo Plain and fought in the autumn wind for half a year, killing the prairie is bloody. The scorpion tribe that was let go by Zhang Xiu also started a bloody revenge on the Huns and Xianbei people on the prairie, in short, the bloody storm in the prairie continued. Hardly ever stopped.
