After Fa Zheng left Yecheng, he hurried all the way and couldn't wait to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast.

Sent to Yecheng, he succeeded.

Next, it was the battle that led the attack on Wu.

Fa Zheng followed Liu Xiu's side, and several times he had the opportunity to be released as an official, or even shepherd one side, and serve as a feudal official under Liu Xiu, but Fa Zheng refused.

Fa Zheng doesn't care what he is doing now?

What the law cares about is what meritorious deeds can be made under Liu Xiu's command.

As an ambitious and thoughtful wise man, Fa Zheng wants to be the marquis and worship the prime minister, and wants to become the pillar of Liu Xiu's command.

Liu Xiu has become a big trend, and he has the opportunity to win the world.

Once successful, he will definitely ascend the throne and become emperor.

At that time, the imperial court will need to be filled with a large number of officials.

And Fa Zheng's goal is to become a powerful official of the imperial court and stay in the central core of Liu Xiu.

Therefore, this attack on Wu is very important to Fazheng.

He rode his horse and returned to Xiangyang, which was already mid-April.

Being able to rush back in mid-April is already the result of Fazheng's quick whipping.

At this moment, Fa Zheng's body was full of dust and dust, and he was even more tired, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his 'spirit' spirit was even more excited than ever.

It's back!

He returned to Xiangyang.

After Fa Zheng entered the city, he went straight to the palace of the king of Chu.

After the soldiers' report, Fa Zheng saw Liu Xiu in the study, and saluted: "Humble Fa Zheng, meet the king." ”

Liu Xiu looked at Fa Zheng and said, "Filial piety, why are you so embarrassed?"

Fazheng's clothes are shabby, and they are dusty.

This is completely unrelated to the former Fa Zheng's lofty and graceful demeanor.

Even, like a roadside beggar.

His hair was scattered, his face was dirty, and his clothes were disheveled, which seemed to be the important minister of Chu State.

Fa Zheng smiled and said, "The king, I am in a hurry to come back, so I didn't repair the edge along the way, please forgive the king." ”

After Liu Xiu heard this, he sighed: "Why do you have to fight so hard?"

The law is like this, and Liu Xiu is also moved.

Fa Zheng shook his head and said, "It's okay to be humble, aren't you coming back?"

Liu Xiu asked, "What is the result of this trip to the Wei State?"

When it comes to business, the face of the law is solemn.

Although Fa Zheng's face was full of tiredness, his eyes were shining, and he said: "Back to the king, Cao 'Cao' has agreed to form an alliance and agreed to send troops on the first day of May. Cao Cao' will send troops from Wu County and Danyang County, while we will send troops from Lujiang County and Yuzhang County. At that time, whoever seizes the territory will be theirs. ”

"Good!"

After Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but praise.

Joining Cao 'Cao' to send troops means that Sun Quan has no chance.

Today's situation is two strong and one weak.

In such a situation, Sun Quan can only rely on one side and fight against the other.

But when the two powerhouses united, Sun Quan had no choice, and it was difficult for him to find foreign aid.

Liu Xiu's mind turned, he wanted to convene Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others immediately, but when he saw Fazheng's situation, he suppressed his thoughts and said, "Xiaozhi, you go back and rest for a day." Wash up and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning, we will discuss the attack on the kingdom of Wu. ”

"Whoa!"

Fa Zheng bowed his hand, then turned around and retreated.

Liu Xiu thought about it, and then ordered the soldiers to invite Deng Zhan to come to the study.

Not long after, Deng Zhan came.

Deng Zhan saluted: "King!"

Liu Xiu said: "Sit!"

"Thank you, King. ”

Deng Zhan picked up his robe and sat down, but he was thinking in his heart, what did Liu Xiu have to do with him?

Liu Xiu instructed: "You immediately send a letter to Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, and order the two to prepare for battle. ”

"Whoa!"

Deng Zhan sat up straight and responded directly.

Immediately, Deng Zhan asked, "King, are you going to start a war with the State of Wu?"

The army led by Tai Shici was stationed in Jiangxia County, which was adjacent to Lujiang County and bordered Wu State.

Huang Zhong sits in the 'Jiao' state, and the 'Jiao' state is also adjacent to the Wu state.

The second army led by Huang Zhong is going to be reorganized for war, which shows that it is about to start a war with Wu.

Liu Xiudao: "On the first day of the fifth month, attack the state of Wu. ”

When Deng Zhan heard this, he became excited.

Once the state of Wu was captured, only the state of Wei in the north remained.

He followed Liu Xiu all the way, and as Liu Xiu's status rose, he also had the opportunity to become Liu Xiu's minister of the dragon.

Deng Zhanzheng said: "Time is urgent, so I will arrange it." ”

Liu Xiu bowed his head, Deng Zhan got up and walked out.

When Deng Zhan walked to the 'door', suddenly, Liu Xiu said: "Wait a minute!"

Deng Zhan turned around and said, "What else does the king command?"

Liu Xiu instructed: "Order Zhao Yun to lead the army back to Xiangyang." ”

"Whoa!"

Deng Zhan responded and left.

Liu Xiu also 'pumped' Zhao Yun back this time, because now that Zhao Yun is in Wuling County, it is no longer very useful. And this time the battle with Wu Guo is related to the next decisive battle with Cao 'Cao'.

Zhao Yun led the army back to Xiangyang in order to stabilize Xiangyang.

Attacking the state of Wu, it was not convenient for Lu Su to participate.

When Lu Su returned to Liu Xiu, he hoped not to be hostile to Wu.

Therefore, 'pumping' Lu Su back is to let Lu Su stay in the rear to make suggestions.

As for Tai Shici, Liu Xiu is also considering it.

After all, Tai Shi Ci was once a former minister of the Wu State, and Liu Xiu knew that Tai Shi Ci was loyal to him, but whether Tai Shi Ci was willing to preside over the war as the main general remained to be discussed.

Liu Xiu sat alone in the camp tent, still writing and drawing, thinking about the direction of the war.

Early the next morning, Liu Xiu washed up early.

After breakfast, Liu Xiu waited in the study.

When he was about to arrive, Deng Zhan came and said, "King, everyone has arrived." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, got up and walked towards the hall.

When he came to the hall, Liu Xiu's eyes swept away, and Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Ma Chao, Zhang Jaw, Kuai Liang, Yi and others had all arrived.

After Liu Xiu sat down, he opened the 'door' and said: "I called you here because of the success of the joint Cao 'Cao'." On the first day of the fifth month, the states of Chu and Wei sent troops to attack the state of Wu. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xiu had a correct view and said, "Xiaozhi, you are negotiating with Cao 'Cao', and you talk about the situation." ”

Fa Zheng rested for a day and was radiant.

With a smile on his face, he told him about his trip to Wei and the agreement he had reached with Cao Cao.

After everything was said, Fa Zheng said: "Cao 'Cao' has the ambition to dominate the world, and he also wants to compete with the king, so he agreed to attack Wu." Therefore, it is very important to attack the state of Wu this time. This battle is not only to destroy the state of Wu, but also to lay the foundation for our attack on the state of Wei. ”

When everyone heard this, they all agreed with each other.

This 'engagement' with the State of Wu is indeed related to the direction of the national fortunes of the State of Chu.

Liu Xiu said: "If you have any ideas, you will express your own opinions. This king had already ordered Huang Zhong and Tai Shi Ci to prepare for battle, and at the same time ordered Zhao Yun to lead the Third Army back from Qianling County. Now, let's talk about what we think. ”

Kuai Liang said: "After Yizhou stabilized, grain has been continuously transported to Xiangyang. In addition, food and grass and weapons have been prepared for several months, and now the food has stabilized. ”

For the state of Chu, if Yizhou is stable, the granary will be stable.

Once Yizhou moves, then the grain of Chu will also be affected.

Liu Xiu listened to Kuai Liang's words and said, "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and Zirou has done a good job." Food and weapons are ready, and we can go to war at any time. ”

He commented, then looked at the others.

Pang Tong coughed lightly twice and said, "Great King, it is not only Huang Zhong and Tai Shici who think that it is necessary to prepare for war. ”

Liu Xiudao: "What does Shiyuan think?"
