Under the coercion of Lejin, Ma Liang did not show any fear.

He said calmly:

"Tan Zhi was seriously injured before, and he was humiliated by Zhao Yan, and he almost wanted to return to the field, and he didn't ask about anything in the army.

Then he persuaded me to return, and I asked him why. ”

"Tanzhi told me that although there are many generals in the imperial court, he serves General Le alone, and he only wants to work under General Le.

There are many famous generals in the imperial court, but there are very few people like General Le who are brave and loyal, brave and resourceful, noble in character, and deeply aware of righteousness. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Liang slapped the table in front of him vigorously:

"To tell the truth, only General Le is here and I are willing to serve. If it's someone else, hmph, even if Prime Minister Cao Cheng comes in person, I, Ma Liang, won't listen to him. ”

"Hugh is nonsense!"

Le Jin hurriedly covered Ma Liang's mouth, Rao is like this, After Ma Liang's previous output, Le Jin's face has obviously improved a lot.

He calmed down, asked someone to bring a jar of good wine, poured a bowl for Ma Liang with his own hands, and said with a pleasant face:

"Ji Chang, a certain gaffe before, please don't blame."

Ma Liang smiled and said:

"The general's sincere person, how dare Ma Liang blame? Please listen to me, General. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Ma Liang smiled:

"To tell the truth, the general now has few soldiers under his command, and his morale is low, even if he advances to repel Guan Yu, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, how can the general defend Jingzhou at that time?"

Lejin is not known for his excellent command ability, he is particularly good at storming, taking the lead, and is famous for his achievements.

Like Huo Jun, he relied on the 1,000 people he recruited when he started the army as the core team, and every time he fought, he personally led these people to fight to open the way for the whole army, and encouraged the rest of the people to follow him to attack the enemy formation.

This method of warfare is invincible in the northern plains, as long as Le Jin leads his men to defeat the elite around the enemy's main general, the enemy will definitely be in chaos. If Le Jin uses the same method to attack Guan Yu, he can't say no, but with Cao Jun, he is no longer the one who worked together to raise morale when he besieged Lu Bu, and he was afraid that Guan Yu would be beaten away, and the main soldiers under him would also have to suffer heavy losses.

These people are not just recruited and trained casually, if they all die, Lejin, who is not a commander-in-chief general, will definitely have to stand aside even if he can maintain his official position, and gradually lose his right to speak.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

"A general is such a talent, he should have been the pastor of Jingzhou, the general of Zhengnan, and the commander of the military of Jingzhou.

Tan Zhi and I are willing to do our best to let the general climb to a high position this time, and we must not let others get involved in Jingzhou, which is for the good of the court and the good of the general. We don't have any selfish intentions, and I ask the general to learn about it. ”

The so-called sedan chair carries people.

Lejin has a rough temperament, and he has always been less than in a pot with celebrities.

But a Jingxiang celebrity like Ma Liang actually admired himself so much, and said that only he was worthy of Dong Governor Jingzhou, no matter how nonsense he said, he was willing to believe it in his heart.

"Ji Chang, Ji Chang and Tan Zhi actually value Ben Jiang so much...... Really, it really made Ben ashamed. ”

He said that he was ashamed, but he was already smiling from ear to ear, so he hurriedly poured wine for Ma Liang again, and waited for Ma Liang to continue to praise himself.

"I thought about it carefully before, even if I fought to the death with Guan Yu now, and tried my best to fight the general's soldiers, I am afraid that it will not be the general who will sit in Jingzhou in the future, and the people's will be unstable.

It is better for the general to sit in Xiangyang safely, calmly dispatch military rations, and make Tanzhi and Guan Yu hold each other, Guan Yu has few soldiers, and he does not see the general in person, so he will naturally not attack with all his strength.

Liu Bei is now fighting for Jingnan with all his might, and Zhou Yu is besieging Jiangling, Guan Yu's soldiers must be very few, as long as I wait to report a few more times to repel Guan Yu, the general can not only keep his soldiers, but also use this to make friends with Cao Zhi, and his position in the clear stream will definitely rise. ”

Le Jin was excited, but Cao Ren had just won the battle and repelled a strong enemy, which should have been a good opportunity to go all out to repel the enemy, so that he could not work here and falsely reported his achievements...... He was a little embarrassed.

Maleonn hits the railway while it's hot:

"In my humble opinion, our army has experienced this defeat, morale is low, and there are thieves and thieves in Guanzhong, and it will cost countless resources to defend Nanjun, which will lead to the chaos in Jingzhou and the people's hearts, so it is better to receive General Zixiao as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains.

If we sit in Xiangfan, Sun Liu is difficult to go north, if it is operated under the wise leadership of the general for several years, Jingzhou has enough grain and grass, and the warships and naval forces are complete, when the general waives his troops to the south, and the prime minister will go out of Hefei with a large army to go east, Sun Liu can resist, can only bow his head and surrender.

It is true that it is a moment to force the fortified feather to rescue Jiangling, but we don't have many sailors now, and Cai Mao is on the side, maybe even Xiangyang and Fancheng can't hold it, I believe that the prime minister will definitely understand the general's hardships and resolutely determine the general's ability. ”

"I see!"

Le Jin suddenly felt that his mouth was suddenly open.

He has been lacking people to give him advice for so many years, so he has always left only the image of a fighting general. Ma Liang's judgment of the current situation in Jingzhou was extremely exquisite, so that Le Jin couldn't help but applaud repeatedly.

"Great, great.

I have Ji Chang under my command, Wu has Tanzhi, why worry about Sun Liu is immortal? Just listen to Ji Chang, then Cao Zhi's side ......"

Ma Liang smiled cruelly:

"Hit! They give what they want! also give Tan Zhi some supplies, as long as he doesn't die, no matter what he looks like, our military newspaper says that he broke Guan Yu! ”

"This ......" Le Jin had never done this kind of thing before, and his face was suddenly swollen red, "If it doesn't work, the prime minister will definitely see through it." ”

"It doesn't matter!" Ma Liang's pale face was also red with excitement, his white eyebrows trembled slightly, and his voice was like a demon leading people to the abyss, "It doesn't matter. Of course, the prime minister will see through it, but what the prime minister wants now is the stability of the Central Plains, what he wants is the scenery and meritorious deeds, and what he wants is to make his favorite son make meritorious contributions again and again. ”

"The old problem of defeating the prime minister before has frequented frequently, and the general does this to cure the prime minister's heart disease, and the general is a loyal minister and a righteous man."

··

A few days later, Cao Zhi finally got his first supplies.

Le Jin was very humble in his reply, saying that he had heard of the name of Zhi Gongzi for a long time, and it was easy to command the battle with such a talent, and it was definitely not comparable to a martial artist like him.

He still has to sit in Xiangyang, and he can't take out many soldiers, but the grain and grass are enough, and the more than 2,000 soldiers who followed him south to live in Xiangyang temporarily also came together, and the rest let Lejin cooperate with him.

If it was someone else who led the leader, he would definitely scold Le Jin for being shameless at this time.

But Cao Zhi can memorize the entire military book, his young heart is full of pride and ambition to level the world and calm all directions, seeing a martial artist like Lejin so good, the ambition in his heart can be imagined.

What made Cao Zhi even happier was that all his guards had arrived, and Le Jin was so humble, and his previous arrogance and rudeness had disappeared, and he even had to walk around Cao Zhi these days, and he still showed a flattering smile at Cao Zhi from time to time.

"Hmph." Cao Zhi's fair and handsome face was full of smug smiles.

He summoned Huo Jun and said proudly:

"Zhong Miao, this soldier rations, warships, and ordnance have all arrived, and I have sent someone to look for the iron armor, there will be a big battle in the near future, Zhong Miao still has to be attentive."

Huo Jun couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only nod and say sincerely:

"Zhi Gongzi, what are we going to do in this battle?"

"Of course, it's to defeat Guan Yu! Rush to Gangneung! Cao Zhi's voice suddenly raised, and he said excitedly, "Jiangling is the root of Jingnan, the former capital of Chu State, bordering the Yangtze River in the south, Hanshui in the north, controlling Bashu in the west, and looking at Wuhui in the east.

Guan Yu is only an old man, not more than 3,000, no more than 100 ships, lack of food and armor, and low morale;

Zhou Yu was only abandoned by Yuan Shu back then, and he won a fluke in Wulin by relying on the southeast wind, and at this moment, he attacked Jiangling for a long time without breaking it, which shows that he is extremely incompetent.

As long as we break through Guan Yu, converge with Manboning, send troops to Jiangling, and spread Jingnan, this Jingzhou can be determined, and great things can be accomplished!

A boy was born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and stagnant?

Zhong Miao Tianzong is talented, Wen Tao and Wu are all ready, are you still afraid that Guan Yu will not be able to do it? ”

Huo Jun: "I'm afraid." ”

Cao Zhi: ......

"Gongzi Zhi, I've seen Guan Yu." Huo Jun felt that Cao Zhi was not scheming, and most of the more than 2,000 soldiers under him were children of the wealthy families in the Central Plains, and they had not experienced any fighting, so if they went into battle, they were no different from sending them away for nothing.

He tried his best to persuade him:

"Guan Yu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his fighting spirit is pressing, unless Cao Gong personally leads the army, it is impossible to defeat this person.

The general might as well sit here, put up more flags, and take the opportunity to attack and burn Guan Yu's baggage. If we take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid that we will all die in the belly of the fish. ”

Cao Zhi's face showed a hint of unhappiness, but thinking that Huo Jun was just a barbarian, Cao Zhi was not angry with him.

"That's fine. This battle depends on the general's scheduling, even if Guan Yu is not captured, he will also be told to bow down and dare not commit it again. ”

·

Guan Ping smiled when he saw Cao Zhi recently.

No way, it's really rare to see people who make people happy like this.

Sima Fu took Cao Zhi's warrant and discussed it with Ma Liang, the chief secretary of Lejin, and decided to take the opportunity to misinterpret Cao Zhi's order, and at the same time copied this grain collection order that was only given to Lejin to Fancheng Xu Huang, Nanyang Yu Ban, Runan Li Tong, and Xiahou Yuan, who Xu Du had just assumed the position of leading the army.

The letter to a person asking for 5,000 stone of grain and grass is still considered to be judging the situation, not a lion's mouth.

can give so many people 5,000 per person, and everyone thinks that Cao Zhi is preparing for a big battle, and he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, collecting food everywhere.

Except for Xiahou Yuan, no one dared to dissuade Cao Zhi, so he could only write a letter to Cao Cao to ask Cao Cao to stop it, and at the same time hurry up to gather some grain and grass to send to Cao Zhi first, so as to prevent anything from happening to Cao Zhi due to the inconvenience of communication.

Sima Fu was also not polite when he transported the grain, and he deducted 20% in the name of loss halfway and counted it as his own remuneration. Ma Liang took out 20% of the money to Cai Mao as a road, and then deducted 10% to calculate Ma Liang's activity funds, and finally 40% was transported by Sima Fu to Guan Ping's army for private storage, and only 10% went to Cao Zhi's hands.

In the future, Cao Wei's degree branch Shangshu Sima Fu (managing finances) is often said to be quite similar to his brother Sima Yi, and this time he also showed excellent means, Guan Ping is satisfied, Cao Zhi is satisfied, Lejin is satisfied, Cai Mao is satisfied, so it is natural to make good use of it-

Of course, he didn't know Guan Ping's true identity, and this kind of behavior that satisfied everyone Guan Ping naturally knew what he was for.

"Shuda, look, is there a typo in my letter? This ink is laughable. ”

"Don't dare."

Sima Fu took Guan Ping's letter before the ink was dry, and saw that Guan Ping couldn't stop complaining that Sima Fu was conscientious in his duties, calculated the military grain, and did not give him a chance to make a fortune. Guan Ping's calligraphy was crooked, like a dancing villain, Sima Fu was happy in his heart, and he almost jumped up with the dancing villain.

"Thank you, General Yun, for your support."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Guan Ping took Sima Fu's hand and smiled, "I came from a reckless background, and I don't know the talents of the court. In the future, I have to ask Shuda Duoduo to take care of it. ”

"Hey, the Marquis of Wuyang was just a butcher back then, didn't he become a general and prime minister? The first time I saw General Yun, I knew that General Yun was good, and I had to ask the general to take care of him in the future. ”

Guan Ping smiled and said:

"This time the son wants to recruit Guan Yu, this matter ......"

"The general and Guan Yu are fighting, although they are not afraid of death, they will only kill people first, and they don't care about the safety of their sons.

"Where, Ping, my favorite thing in my life is a fair and frank person like Shuda."

Guan Ping and Sima Fu laughed, full of yearning for the battle that followed.
