Chapter 37: The Sun-Liu Alliance is Imminent (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The sudden appearance of this military horse surprised everyone.
As the first member of the young general, his face is like a crown of jade, and his instrument is Xuanang, it is Liu Bei's righteous son - Liu Feng.
It turned out that Liu Feng obeyed Zhuge Liang's orders, went to Jiangxia to borrow 10,000 soldiers and horses, and found out that Liu Bei was defeated and retreated, so he specially intercepted it from this road to meet Liu Bei.
When Cao Jun saw that so many military horses suddenly appeared, he thought it was an ambush, and they all stopped, afraid of being trapped.
Liu Feng is also a clever person, and when he saw Cao Jun staggering, he knew that Cao Jun was suspicious, and immediately shouted calmly: "Cao Thief, I have been waiting here for a long time." ”
Actually, Liu Feng also just arrived, and it just happened.
He didn't bring many people, and there was no way to defeat Cao Jun, so he could only bluff and scare Cao Jun away.
Sure enough, when he heard Liu Feng say this, Cao Cao was also shocked, reined in his horse and asked, "Could it be Zhuge Pifu's plan again?" ”
The generals are also not sure whether it is a trap or not.
And Chen Hang can't remember the process of Liu Bei's escape, so it's hard to speak.
If Cao Cao brought an army of 500,000, there was no need to be afraid of trickery.
In the face of absolute power, any trick can be crushed.
But because of the rush to chase Liu Bei, most of the cavalry brought by Cao Cao were not very numerous, so he was a little afraid of being scheming.
After weighing it repeatedly, Cao Cao still felt that his life was important and not worth the risk, so he ordered to retreat.
Liu Bei escaped because of this.
Liu Feng saw that Cao Cao was scared away, and was afraid that Cao Cao would be suspicious, so he sent a large army to symbolically chase for a few miles, and then rushed back to Hanjin to meet Liu Bei.
Seeing Liu Feng, Liu Bei was moved: "If Feng'er hadn't arrived in time, I would have died." ”
"This child is responsible."
Liu Feng settled Liu Bei and saw Liu Bei's side. There were only Mrs. Gan, Zhang Fei, Mi Fang and others left, and they couldn't help but ask about the whereabouts of the others.
Asked by Liu Feng, Liu Bei almost cried, this time, the loss was too serious.
couldn't help but Guan Yu was arrested, and Zhao Yun was nowhere to be seen. Presumably, most of them encountered accidents, and even their little wife Mrs. Mi and their only son were separated.
I don't know if they are dead or alive?
Liu Bei told the story of the battle before and after the battle of Dangyang.
After Liu Feng heard this, he was also uncomfortable. After all, from the moment he worshiped Liu Bei as his father, not only his future, but even his net worth and life were completely tied to Liu Bei.
Everyone was discussing what to do next, when they suddenly heard the sound of drums on the south bank of the Yangtze River. I was taken aback and looked at it one after another.
I saw that there were as many large and small ships on the river as ants, sailing with the wind.
Liu Bei was also shocked because it was Cao Bing who was ambushed.
Just as he was about to escape, he saw a man in white robe and silver armor standing on the bow of the boat, shouting, "Uncle." Don't come unharmed, the little nephew is late. Please forgive my uncle! ”
When Liu Bei saw that the person who came was Liu Biao's eldest son "Liu Qi", he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet him.
As soon as Liu Qi got off the boat, he said: "When I heard that my uncle was besieged by Cao thieves, my little nephew was anxious. We are here to pick you up! ”
Hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei had an uncontrollable joy on his face, and only felt that he was running from time to time, his life should not be extinguished, and he had the ambition to dominate the world. A part of it is also restored.
The two of them were polite, and they joined forces. Tell the old feelings together on the river.
As a result, before they could talk for a while, a scout suddenly came to report that a large number of ships had intercepted on the river ahead.
Liu Qi and Liu Bei's faces changed, and they glanced at each other, Liu Qi was shocked and said: "Jiangxia soldiers and horses, the little nephew has all been drawn out, who will appear on the river at this time?" ”
The two walked out of the cabin and saw the opposite fleet, one person in a scarf and a Taoist uniform, sitting on the bow of the boat, it was Zhuge Liang, followed by Sun Qian.
Seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was really pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang to sit down.
"Why is Kong Ming here?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Liang went to Jiangxia and ordered Feng Gongzi to pick up at the landing place in Hanjin. I expect Cao Cao to come to catch up, and the lord will not go from Jiangling, except for Jiangling, the lord can only take Hanjin, so I specially ask Liu Gongzi to come to answer first, I went to Xiakou, and the army came to help. ”
Liu Bei was overjoyed, and at the same time, he was shocked by Zhuge Liang's clever calculations.
The two armies were connected again, and at this moment, under Liu Bei's account, the number of soldiers and horses had exceeded 20,000, which couldn't help but make Liu Bei regain his ambition.
Cao Cao was right, people like Liu Bei, unless they were killed at once, they would always make a comeback.
Zhuge Liang suggested to Liu Bei again: "Xiakou City has a dangerous terrain, and it has a lot of money and grain, so it can be defended for a long time. Please go to Xiakou to live. public
Since returning to Jiangxia, the son has rectified the warship, packed up the weapons, and become a horn with the lord, so that he can resist Cao Cao. ”
"If you live in the same city of Jiangxia, the power will become lonely and undesirable."
Zhuge Liang's suggestion was recognized by everyone.
Liu Qi said: "The words of the military advisor are very good, but I also ask my uncle to go to Jiangxia for the time being, and then return to Xiakou after rectifying the military horses."
Late. ”
Liu Bei thought about it, then nodded in agreement: "What the virtuous nephew said is reasonable!" ”
He left Zhang Fei and Liu Feng to lead 5,000 troops to defend Xiakou, while Liu Bei went to Jiangxia with Zhuge Liang and Liu Qi.
……
However, it is said that after Cao Cao was frightened back by Liu Feng's bluff, he was afraid that Liu Bei would seize Jiangling from the waterway.
In Jiangling City, there is a lot of money and grain, and it is an important place in Jingzhou, and it must not be taken away by Liu Bei.
Cao Cao ordered the army, hurried in the starry night, preempted Liu Bei, and occupied Jiangling.
As for the Jiangling officials, they had long been intimidated by Cao Cao's prestige, and when they heard that Cao Cao was coming with a large army, they surrendered the city without thinking about it.
Cao Cao effortlessly got Jiangling City.
Of course, after Cao Cao entered the city, in order to avoid changes, he appeased the officials from all walks of life in the original Jiangling, sealed the officials and rewarded them, and bought the hearts of the people.
Among them, Chen Hang was rewarded by Cao Cao for capturing Zhao Zilong alive and breaking Zhang Fei's suspicious strategy, and was crowned Ding'an Captain and commanded the Su Guard (Dian Wei's official position before his death, which was regarded as a personal bodyguard).
After everything was settled, Cao Cao summoned the strategists and generals to discuss a strategy to deal with Liu Bei.
"According to the report of Tanma, Liu Bei has already invested in Jiangxia, I am afraid that in the next step, he will unite with Dongwu, what should he use to break it?"
Everyone was silent for a while, all in deep thought.
Xun You suddenly said: "Lord, now that our army is mighty, it is better to send an envoy to gallop to Jiangdong, ask Sun Quan to hunt in Jiangxia, capture Liu Bei, divide the land of Jingzhou, and form an alliance forever, Sun Quan will be shocked, maybe he will not surrender to the lord, but he does not dare to collude with Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is left with an army, and it is difficult to speak alone, so there is no need to worry." ”
Chen Hang stood beside Cao Cao (bodyguard).
Hearing Xun You's strategy, I had to admire, the brains of these strategists are easy to use.
Cao Cao also felt that Xun You's plan was good, so he listened to it, and sent an envoy to Eastern Wu to recruit Sun Quan.
On the one hand, there are a total of 830,000 horses and water troops, falsely claiming to be 1 million, advancing by land and water, boats and riding in both directions, coming along the river, connecting Jing and Gorge in the west, and Qi, Huang and Saizha in the east for more than 300 miles.
He is mighty, and Sun Quan does not dare to go against him.
It's just that Cao Cao doesn't know the way, and his wishful thinking will be broken by Zhuge Liang's tongue battle group Confucianism......
After the discussion, all the generals went to rest, and Cao Cao also rested.
Chen Hang stood outside Cao Cao's tent, frowning and pondering.
Next, it should be Zhuge Liang who went to Jiangdong, fought the Confucians, and persuaded Sun Quan, right?
If Sun Quan is persuaded, then the alliance between Sun and Liu has been successfully concluded as in history.
Chen Hang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He has not forgotten that his main task is to destroy the alliance......
