Chapter 23 Shu Zhongxing

Zhang Lang stood on top of the Xicheng Mansion, clothed in the afterglow of the sunset, bathed in the autumn breeze.

Looking at Baqiu Lake from afar, Xiangshan Mountain, swallowing the Yangtze River, the smoke and waves are mighty, the weather is thousands, and the scenery is charming.

"Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting from afar, there is a green snail on the silver plate, it's a pity, it's a pity." Zhang Lang was moved by emotion, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

"What is a pity?" Zhao Yu, who was standing beside him, stared intently at the front with big black eyes, obviously intoxicated by the vast, colorful, and ever-changing scenery of Baqiu Lake, and said with an obsessive face.

Zhang Lang turned his head and looked at Zhao Yu, the faint flush of the sunset was imprinted on Zhao Yu's flower-like face, like a beautiful sunset. Even if he has seen countless stunning colors in the world, he still can't help but be stunned, his eyes began to change a little, Zhang Lang said softly: "Watching the shore of Baqiu Lake and tasting the green snails of Xiangshan Mountain, this is a great joy in life, but it's a pity." ”

"Giggles." Zhao Yu only withdrew his gaze from the distant mountains at this time, glanced at Zhang Lang, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu thought that Brother Lang had something to say, but it turned out that he was just greedy, hehe." ”

Zhang Lang smiled dumbly, he was just talking, far from the point of greed as Zhao Yu said, but if he had the opportunity in the future, he really wanted to take his wife and children here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongting and taste the green snails. It's just that I don't know when I have the time to travel around the landscape? Thinking of Zhang Lang at this time, he was sad in his heart, coming to this era, flicking his fingers, flying through the gap, the white horse passed through the gap, it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, and he has to work hard here, but until now, he has only been the king and hegemon in Jiangnan, and has not won the springboard of Jingzhou, let alone the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. If you follow this rate, you really don't know when you will be able to complete the great cause of dominating the Three Kingdoms? Could it be that you are really going to have a gray beard and lose your teeth, and you can't do it? Thinking of this time, Zhang Lang couldn't help sighing, and his original sunny mood couldn't help but be diluted a lot.

Zhao Yu also found a faint loss between Zhang Lang's eyebrows, and couldn't help but lean lightly on Zhang Lang, his small mouth exhaled like an orchid, and asked gently: "Brother Lang, what's wrong?" Looking at your sad face, do you remember something unhappy? ”

How could Zhang Lang talk about this in front of Zhao Yu, an innocent little girl, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "Where is it." ”

Zhao Yu opened his big black eyes, pursed his mouth, and said with an unhappy face: "Brother Lang, don't you want Xiaoyu to help you share something?" When he said this, Zhao Yu's eyes were already red, and it was likely to turn cloudy and rain at any time.

Zhang Lang looked at Zhao Yuxun's tearful expression, and couldn't help but be a little in a hurry, how could he make the beauty sad? He rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but think about it, and the thief smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal, do you really want to know?" ”

Zhao Yu's small mouth was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhang Lang's tone, and said angrily: "What is the matter, brother, you said it." As long as Xiaoyu can do it, he must help his brother to complete it. ”

Zhang Lang nodded and snickered, but he pretended to be serious on his face, and said seriously: "Okay, I'll tell you." Then he beckoned, motioned for Xiaoyu to stick his head over, and then bit Zhao Yu's snow-white ear lightly, and whispered a few words.

Zhao Yu's face turned red with a "brush", better than the colorful glow on the horizon, and the world was discolored for a while.

Zhao Yu only felt that his face was hot and hot, and he was at a loss, and said in a thin voice like an antfly: "Brother Lang, you are so bad." ”

Zhang Lang couldn't help but smile when he saw him so daughterly, sweeping away the depressed color just now.

Zhao Yu's face became better, and he stomped on the golden lotus again and again, and he was shy.

At this time, a soldier ran up and reported: "Lord, just now Lord Zhou Yu sent the news, General Zhou lured Wang Wei's army in Luo County to fight at Baqiu Lake, and then annihilated 3,000 enemies and received countless military funds. Wang Wei was defeated and returned to Luo County and was ready to retreat to Changsha. ”

"Haha, good." Zhang Lang waved off the guards in a good mood, and said to Zhao Yu with a smile: "As soon as Wang Wei retreats, our army can take advantage of Cai Mao's unstable foothold and start to attack Nanjun, and now there are too many choices for us." Those who rush forward can first run to Tang, attack the public security, and then threaten Jiangling; Those who are in the middle can first take the county of Jianke, and then cut off Huarong Road, which can also achieve the goal of threatening Jiangling. If we feel that the first two plans are too frivolous, we can also move closer to Puqi County first, and then enter Shaxian, and cooperate with the army of Xiakou Chibi from the side to attack the defense line of Wulin and Hanyang, so as to achieve the goal of breaking through Hanyang. ”

Zhao Yu listened in a daze, just like listening to a book from heaven, before she finished, she smiled embarrassedly and said: "Xiaoyu doesn't understand this, but my brother said okay, it must be okay." ”

Zhang Lang scolded with a smile: "If you talk about fighting and killing, you will definitely be the first." If you talk about strategizing and planning, you are not even as good as a three-year-old child. I don't understand what's in your head! ”

Zhao Yu laughed twice, and then made a grimace at Zhang Lang, triumphant, and didn't feel anything wrong at all.

At this time, there was a hurried sound of "dong dong" from the upstairs, and then a hurried jump, before the person arrived, the voice sounded first, "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, great news." ”

Zhang Lang turned around, it was Lu Su, who was usually wooden, with an excited expression on his face at this time, obviously stimulated by something big, not at all as calm as usual. Zhang Lang couldn't help but take two steps forward, obviously infected by him, and asked, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Lu Su obviously trotted all the way, his chest was still rising and falling, his mouth was still panting softly, he was a little dancing, and his face was full of excitement: "Joy is from Jiaozhou." I just received the news from Lord Zhang Zhao, General Zhao Yun was in southern Xinjiang, and a few decades ago he broke Shixie in Yuewu City, killing nearly 10,000 enemies, capturing countless prisoners, and capturing Shihuang alive. Shi Xie led the remnants of the army to defeat the general, retreated to Cangwu, General Zhao ordered Gao Shun to lead the troops to chase, all the way to chase and fight, Jiaozhou several people hope to fall in the wind, the young general Ling Ying, is a hundred miles of extension, Wei Zhen southern Xinjiang. In time, Shixie will be able to calm down and return to Jingzhou. ”

"Haha, good" Zhang Lang was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he could only look up to the sky and smile.

Lu Su's eyes lit up and said: "As long as the state is handed over, it will be when Liu Biao hands over the eight counties of Jingzhou." ”

Zhang Lang rubbed his hands excitedly and stomped back and forth. The news of Zhao Yun's victory came in such a timely manner, although he had the upper hand in the entire Jingchu battle, it did not mean that he could swallow the eight counties of Jingzhou in one go, but if Zhao Yun pacified Jiaozhou and returned to Jiangxia with 100,000 troops, the end would inevitably be different.

The more Zhang Lang thought about it, the more excited he became, his eyes were full of stars, as if Jingzhou had already arrived, and he said to Lu Su: "Zijing, you immediately spread this news to the ears of every soldier, and let them know that it won't be long before our army will come back." When the time comes, let Liu Biao look good. ”

Lu Su nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and this news can also greatly boost morale." ”

Zhang Lang nodded with a smile, waved his big hand, and said with great interest: "letgo." Then he took Zhao Yu swaggering down the pavilion.

"Come dead dogs." Lu Su waved his arms and followed behind Zhang Lang's ass excitedly, fart-topping. By the way, dead dogs? Lu Su stopped in confusion, what does this mean? Lu Su's mind suddenly bubbled. No matter what, it's always right to follow the lord.

Half a decade later, Zhou Yu led 15,000 men and horses to attack Wang Wei's troops in Luo County. Wang Wei's troops have already besieged Baqiu unsuccessfully, morale has become very low, especially after the battle between Luo County and Zhou Yu, it has fallen to the lowest point, this time Zhou Yu besieged Luo County has no stronghold to defend, plus there are Huang Zhong father and son and other fierce generals to help, soon defeated and retreated, Zhou Yu where will let go of such an opportunity to fight the water dogs, but also chased and fought fiercely, when Wang Wei returned to Changsha in embarrassment, with 20,000 troops, there are only thousands left. Zhou Yu took advantage of this military power to continuously sweep the remnants of Liu Biao's army on the edge of Baqiu, and for a time there were no invincible troops around Baqiu. It was only at this time that Zhou Yu triumphantly retreated to Baqiu and began to move his target to Nanjun.

At this time, Cai Mao had already begun to become panicked, Baqiu was captured, and the entire Nanjun was exposed to the eyes of the Jiangdong Army, without the support of the naval army, the entire battle situation was limited to unprecedented passivity. Liu Biao couldn't sit still any longer, and repeatedly urged people to mobilize people, and began to send people to send letters to Liu Bei, asking him to chase back Jiangling first, overcome this difficulty, and then go to Xichuan.

But Liu Bei waited so long for such an opportunity, how could he return so willingly?

After Liu Beijun was treated by Liu Zhang, he took 30,000 soldiers and went up the Three Gorges of Changsha all the way, rain or shine.

It's ridiculous that Liu Zhang thought he was getting reinforcements, but he didn't know how to lure the wolf into the room.

Ba County, Jiangzhou.

After Liu Beijun rested in Jiangzhou for a few days, he began to sail up the river, aiming at Brazil.

After a day's march, Liu Beijun camped in a Parisian place to rest.

"Lord, those who achieve great things are not informal, don't be a woman's kindness." Du Xi said bitterly.

In Liu Bei's handsome camp, a group of people surrounded Liu Bei and kept persuading.

Liu Bei sighed deeply and sat there a little overwhelmed. Zhang Fei rubbed his hands on the side in a hurry, his leopard eyes glared, while Guan Yu squinted his eyes with his surname, and gently stroked the two-foot-long temples with his big palm, with a deep face.

Jian Yong didn't seem to want to give up yet, and tried his best to persuade Liu Bei: "My lord, such an opportunity really can't be lost again, if you go back to Jiangling like this, not to mention that this opportunity to develop and grow is wasted, and even if you really go back, whether you can defeat the powerful Jiangdong Army is still unknown?" Now Liu Zhang has no defense against the lord at all, plus we have no intention of calculating, the land of Bashu Hanzhong is really at our fingertips, if we really give up like this, it is a pity. ”

Liu Bei raised his head, glanced at Jian Yong blankly, his lips moved a few times, and finally he didn't say anything, and lowered his head again, except for sighing, he still sighed, obviously, his heart was still struggling strongly.

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, everyone reluctantly turned their eyes to Zhuge Liang. To say that Zhuge Liang has the shortest military qualifications, no matter how he turns, he can't speak, but since Zhuge Liang came, everyone knows how Liu Bei treats him, although he ranks last in the military rank, but the degree of attention he receives is the most among everyone.

seemed to feel that everyone was helpless, and some eyes for help, Zhuge Liang, who was dressed elegantly, slowly came out of the ranks. Zhuge Liang is eight feet long, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like Langxing, his lips are like cinnabar, he is wearing a scarf, he is wearing a crane, and surprisingly, he is still holding a fan in his hand (of course it is not Huang Yueying's treasure ^-^).

Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he saw Zhuge Liang coming out, he stood up and asked him, "Strategist, what do you say you should do now?" ”

Zhuge Liang bowed lightly, and said with a non-arrogant and humble expression: "Actually, what everyone said is very correct, what do you care about, lord?" ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Jian Yong, Yi Yuan, Du Xian and other expressions immediately relaxed, and Zhang Fei was even more overjoyed: "Haha, what Kong Ming said is exact, big brother, you don't have to hesitate." Tomorrow we will send our troops to Brazil, and then we will go straight to Hanzhong. ”

Liu Bei still had some scruples and said: "If I ignore Liu Biao's military orders, how will I explain to him and the people of the world when the time comes?" ”

Zhuge Liang didn't know how to say it: "My lord, if you confess to Liu Biao, then how can you explain to the ancestors of the Han family?" ”

Liu Bei let out an "ah" in surprise, his face became a little ugly, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhuge Liang then said: "Liu Biao is more than shoucheng, not enterprising enough, watching Jiangdong Zhang Lang grow, but without a trace of obstacles, the eight counties of Jingzhou change hands, it must be a matter of time or time, even if the lord has the heart to contribute, there may not be the slightest turnaround." ”

Liu Bei thought of Zhang Lang's performance, and couldn't help but be even more worried.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Lord, if you want to revive the Han family, take Bashu as a foothold, Hanzhong as the gateway, and join forces with Jiangdong, it is the way of the king, only in this way can the lord have the strength to win the world and the hope of reviving the Han family." ”

Zhuge Liang's previous words, can not withstand the heaviness of the last sentence, Liu Bei is like waking up to the empowerment, the dream of the first awakening, his eyes suddenly brightened, with incomparable ambition, said in a deep voice: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, Bei has always been indecisive, repeatedly delaying the opportunity, today no matter what, I want to listen to the general." Pass my order, early tomorrow morning, they will leave for Brazil and go straight to Hanzhong. ”

Just when everyone shouted Liu Bei's wisdom, Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "No." ”
