Chapter 18: Encounters
Zhang Fei's words fell, and the room was silent, and everyone was waiting for Liu Dou to come up with an idea.
At this moment, Liu Dou is their military advisor and the savior of the Guan family!
Only Liu Dou can turn the tide and help Jingzhou to fall!
"Two aunts, sister Yinping, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Jiangling City now?"
Liu Dou also felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced around the round table.
"When my father first went north to Xiangyang, he left 8,000 men to guard Jiangling, and after continuous reinforcement to the front line, there are only 4,000 people left in the city. ”
Guan Yinping is worthy of being the daughter of Jiangmen, in addition to inheriting her father's martial arts, she also often studies the art of war, so she is quite concerned about the military deployment of Jingzhou, and she comes as soon as she opens her mouth.
"Four thousand. ”
Liu Dou couldn't help but gasp.
This second uncle Guan is simply red-eyed on the front line, not to mention that Nanjun Taishou has a dirty relationship with him, and only 4,000 people are left in the base camp, how much does this look down on the combat effectiveness of the Sun Wu Group?
But then again, after all, Sun Shiwan's performance in Hefei was too stretched, and he poured the whole country's strength into battle, and was almost shot in the head by Zhang Liao, killing Jiangdong Xiao'er when he heard it, and it is estimated that there are many people who look down on Zhongmou.
"In addition to Mi Fang, are there any officials in Jiangling City that the second uncle trusts?"
Although Liu Dou wanted to pretend to be strategizing and confident, his tightly knit brows could not be expanded.
Sun Wu poured out of the nest this time, Lu Meng estimated that he had already arrived at the opposite side of Gong'an Port, Lu Xun was stationed in Lukou, Sun Quan personally went to Chaisang, and it was estimated that the total strength of Wu's army was not less than 100,000.
That's more than 20 times the difference!
Of course, 100,000 people may not be terrible, but the terrible thing is that Sun Quan did not become the main commander this time, but handed over the command of the front line to Lu Meng, which is more terrifying.
"In Jiangling City, except for the Nanjun Taishou, the biggest official is Pan Jun, who is engaged in Zhizhong. ”
Guan Yinping thought about it and shook his head helplessly, "It seems that he doesn't have a good relationship with Daddy." ”
"Pan Jun?"
Liu Douzhi felt his scalp tingle, and secretly said in his heart, "This is also an unfaithful and unrighteous guy!"
In history, although Pan Jun did not directly surrender to Wu, he hid at home and let the Wu army enter the city. After Sun Quan came to solicit him, he directly smeared Sun Quan's liver and brains and killed his own people unambiguously.
You must know that Pan Jun, who is engaged in governance, is the third-in-command of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei treats him well; if he has the loyalty of Huang Quan and Jiang Wei, he will also try to prevent Mi Fang from offering the city, and what he does is to hide and act like a fool and steal his name.
"Alas...... My cheap dad is a bit of a trick on the second uncle. ”
Thinking of Pan Jun's deeds, Liu Dou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Before the crossing, some people scolded Liu Bei as a hypocrite, and some people praised Liu Bei as the lord of benevolence and righteousness.
Regardless of whether Liu Bei is acting, or from the heart, but he is indeed more merciful to the people under his rule than Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and the name of benevolence and righteousness is not obtained out of thin air.
Perhaps, at the beginning, the love of the three Taoyuan brothers was stronger than steel, especially in times of trouble, Guan and Zhang never gave up on him, and the spirit of swearing to follow him was moving, singing and crying.
It was the civil and military integrity of the Shu Kingdom that raised the moral height of the warlords in the late Han Dynasty, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Zilong and others interpreted the romance of men with their own actions, so that this history will last for centuries.
But as Liu Bei's status continues to improve and his power continues to become stronger, has there been a trace of change in his heart?
Liu Dou didn't know, he didn't want to speculate before he met Liu Bei, a cheap father.
But you, Liu Xuande, as the lord of Shu Han, have been passed down to the world with his knowledge of people, and Zhuge Liang is a far-sighted military advisor, don't you have no responsibility in the history of defeating Maicheng?
It is undeniable that the Battle of Hanzhong has just ended in the summer, and the soldiers and horses of Bashu still need to recuperate, and it is impossible to enter the Jingzhou battlefield so quickly.
It cannot be denied that the situation in Jingzhou collapsed too quickly, and before Liu Bei and Ji Han's officials could make a move, Guan Yu was defeated and died.
If you don't have soldiers and horses, you send a few capable generals to Guan Yu, don't send first-line generals like Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, and Huang Zhong, and you send second-line generals like Wu Yi, Li Yan, Huang Quan, and Wang Ping, but who are you Liu Xuande leaving to the righteous brothers?
Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, or the half-literate and half-martial Wang Fu and Zhao Lei?
Just one Guan Ping can be regarded as a general, or Guan Yu's own assets that he has brought into the shares.
This cheap father not only sent people to Second Uncle Guan, but even took away the most capable Ma Liang, Yi nationality, and Sun Qian in Jingzhou.
It is true that Bashu has just been pacified, people's hearts are unstable, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, but Jingzhou, as the gateway of Bashu, is not the bridgehead that is beaten out of it?
In this battle, who are the generals invested by Cao Wei?
Cao Ren, Man Chong, Yu Ban, Pang De, Xu Huang, and even Zhang Liao, who was far away in Hefei, also rushed to Xiangyang's aid.
Who is Sun Wu invested in?
Not to mention the side effects of Sun 100,000, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng, Sun Yi, Sun Ben, but Wu Jiang, who was still alive at this time, almost poured out.
And what about your Liu Xuande's support?
No, not one!
Until the heads of Guan Yu's father and son were cut off and sent to Xuchang, Bashu still did not send a single soldier.
It's just that strong enemies gather, who are you Liu Xuande leaving to the righteous brothers?
The eldest brother-in-law, Mi Fangguan, is the Taishou of Nanjun and the second person in Jingzhou.
Jingzhou Zhizhong is engaged in Pan Jun, the third person in Jingzhou.
Fellow countryman Fu Shiren, the official worships the front-line public security port guard.
How can these three people be virtuous, how can they make any contributions, and how can they occupy such an important position?
What's even worse is that these three powerful figures are all at odds with Guan Yu, which really makes people doubt Liu Bei's motives for leaving these people in Jingzhou to serve as Guan Yu's right-hand man.
Although Guan Yu was awarded the former general and fake Jieyue, did he dare to kill Mi Fang and Pan Jun, who were powerful figures?
"The heart of the emperor, the needle under the sea, no matter how merciful the emperor is, he is also an emperor. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Dou couldn't help but feel a slight chill, "It's a mortal situation, I'm afraid that this situation can't be solved even if Han Xin is reincarnated and Bai Qi is resurrected." ”
Seeing that Liu Dou fell into silence, Zhang Fei slapped the table angrily: "What is Adou afraid of? Who dares to disobey the second brother, I Zhang Yide stabbed him to death with a spear." ”
Liu Dou hurriedly collected his messy thoughts, hugged his fists and said: "Third uncle, don't worry, you can send someone to trick Mi Fang over, take it down, and force him to hand over the Taishou Seal Ribbon." Then clear Mi Fang's henchmen, reorganize the city defense, and then send someone to inform the second uncle and let him slowly withdraw from the army. ”
"That's very good. ”
Zhang Fei pinched his chin and thought for a while, and his chin agreed.
"Daddy doesn't have a good relationship with the thief, and he rarely interacts with him on weekdays, how can he be cheated?"
Guan Yinping blinked a pair of beautiful eyes and asked a new question.
Liu Dou immediately had an idea: "I have an idea, but I am a little offended to my aunt." ”
Hu Jinding was stunned: "Oh...... Where do you need the help of the old body, although the eldest son said bluntly. ”
Liu Dou made a gesture to the Hu family: "You can send someone to Mi Fang's house to inform you, and say that your aunt suddenly fell ill and unfortunately passed away." Mi Fang is not only a colleague with the second uncle, but also the Taishou of Nanjun, and after learning the news, he will definitely come to condole, and we can take the opportunity to take it down. ”
Hu Jinding immediately decided: "As long as we can save the Guan family, don't say that letting my aunt cheat to death is letting the old body die, and I will never hesitate." ”
"It's still my sister-in-law who is sensible. ”
Zhang Fei gave Hu Jinding a thumbs up, and said to Guan Yinping and Guan Suo: "Do a full set of plays, and the children will cry for your third uncle!"
The girl's family was thin-skinned, and Guan Yinping said shyly: "Is it true that you want to cry?"
"My eldest mother, you're in such a hurry!"
Before Guan Yinping's words fell, Guan Suo had already cried and howled, "You promised to marry me a daughter-in-law, how can you say that you can just leave?" Woo woo...... My eldest mother, the eldest lady who loves Guan Weizhi the most is gone......"
Guan Suo was possessed, crying and grieving, and soon infected several daughters-in-law such as Yang and Ding, who were embarrassed, and sobbed and wiped their tears.
"Mother-in-law, our good mother-in-law. ”
"Today, the old body will experience the feeling of going out of the funeral, sister, you instructed the next person to go to the coffin shop to order a pair of longevity materials for me, and the mourning hall will support it for me. ”
Hu Jinding instructed Cui Yue'e, lay down directly next to the dining table, and instructed Guan Suo and Guan Yinping to carry him to the bedroom, "Since you are acting, you must act realistically, and simply keep the people in the house in the dark." ”
"It's still my aunt who is thoughtful. ”
Liu Dou was impressed, and helped Guan Suo and Guan Yinping carry Hu Jinding into the bedroom together, put him on the bed and covered it with a futon.
A moment later, there was a cry from all over the Guan Mansion, especially Guan Suo's voice was the loudest, and his howl could be heard from far away outside the mansion door.
Guan Yinping, a big girl, was thin-skinned, so she sat on a chair and watched the excitement.
"Grandmother, grandmother...... Why did you go? What did you get and die, woo ......."
However, several of Guan Ping's children believed it and cried with Guan Suo, which made people even more moved and sad.
The people of the Guan Mansion who don't know what to do don't know don't know how the old lady said that it was gone, and she didn't eat in the room just now, why was it that yin and yang were separated in a blink of an eye?
But when I saw the son-in-law, the son-in-law, the young lady, and a few little sons all crying, the servants and maids all remembered the good of the old lady, and they all cried sadly.
The gate of the Guanfu was quickly replaced with a white lantern, and the lintel was pasted with a couplet, and the house was shouting to the sky with sorrow, and the grass and trees were sad.
"Hey...... You kid!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fei couldn't help but look at Liu Dou with admiration, "The third uncle thought that you were the same old man as me, but I didn't expect that your kid was brave and scheming, my eldest brother has a successor." ”
"It's still good for my aunt to cooperate. ”
Liu Douhan laughed and reminded, "Third uncle, let's go lie down for a while, recuperate, and just wait for Mi Fang to arrive, and then take him down." ”
--------
Finally, I discussed a topic with my brothers, how to arrange the role of Liu Lanzhi? Is it to fulfill her and Jiao Zhongqing's love for Qingqing, or to find some reason to accept it, I can't make up my mind for a while, and the brothers tell me their opinions?
