Chapter 274: Liu Bei who was stunned
"Woe to you, my lord,"
At this moment, Jian Yong came quickly, still holding a letter in his hand, which was left by Xu Shu.
"Why are you so flustered?" Liu Bei frowned.
"Lord, just now I went to look for the military division, but I found that the military division did not say goodbye, and asked the doorman city general, and I learned that the military division was going north, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it was Chu Feng."
Jian Yong's voice was at this point, and he sighed a little.
"No way, no way!" Liu Bei stood up abruptly and shouted: "Yuan Zhi often sleeps with me, if you really want to go to Chu Feng,"
"Why don't you just cut off my head while I'm asleep and take it to ask for credit?"
"This..."Jian Yong frowned, but the Chu army was about to come to the city, Xu Shu didn't say goodbye at this time, obviously something was wrong: "Oh yes, this is the letter found in the military division's room." ”
Liu Bei panicked, he finally had a military advisor who could help him coordinate the overall situation, but in the blink of an eye, the military advisor had to say goodbye without saying goodbye, could he not panic in his heart!
Open the envelope and take a quick look.
After a long time, Liu Bei took two steps back, with despair and loss on his face, as if his main heart was gone.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Guan Yu pressed his sword, full of arrogance, but with a little concern, because there were few people who could make him admire Guan Yu.
"Chu Feng, a despicable villain, actually threatened the old mother of the military advisor, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, and the military advisor wants to leave me in order to protect the old mother!"
Liu Bei looked lost and a little dazed.
Originally, he was still very confident in repelling Chu Feng, but as soon as Xu Shu left, his whole person was empty, and he felt that there was a lot of things missing.
Guan Yu was lying on the silkworm with his eyebrows upside down, and he was also a little angry.
"Lord, the Chu army is still a few days away, and now that the military division has left, what should we do?" Jian Yong asked.
"Big brother, the military advisor has a genius, if he is allowed to defect to Chu Feng like this, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain, and he will definitely be our enemy at that time!"
"The last general thinks that when he immediately leads his troops to capture and kill him, he must not return to the mountain." Guan Yu pressed his sword and strode out of the ranks, with a bit of murderous intent on his face.
"Whew!" Liu Bei took a deep breath.
"Without my order, no one is allowed to be disrespectful to the military advisor, even if he switches to Chu Feng today, that is what he should do, and no one is allowed to embarrass him."
Liu Bei's expression was solemn, not like a joke.
"But big brother, if you let him go like this, in the future..."Guan Yu said eagerly.
"I have made up my mind, even if he personally cuts me down in the future, I can't blame him." Liu Bei raised his hand and looked at it, his mood was complicated.
He thought it was time for him to rise, but the departure of the military advisor put him in an embarrassing situation.
"Jian Yong, prepare the horse, take some dry food by the way, and send Yuan Zhi with me!" Liu Bei took a deep breath and showed a sad smile.
"No!" Jian Yong made a gesture.
I have to say that Liu Bei's personality charm is indeed very accessible, and few people can do it if Xu Shu leaves, and in later generations, his brother-in-law rebelled and killed Guan Yu.
He didn't even get angry with Mi Zhu, if he was replaced by Cao Cao, I am afraid that the Mi family would still be connected.
Out of the city, he chased after dozens of guards.
Because Xu Shu was in a hurry, he didn't dare to gallop, and it didn't take long for Liu Bei to lead someone to chase closer.
Xu Shu glanced at the dozens of riders behind him, couldn't help frowning, touched the accessories on his waist, and looked at the way back from the north, he chose to stop again.
If Liu Bei really wanted to kill him, he couldn't run away.
It didn't take long for Liu Bei to lead people to chase after him, and he jumped down with a horse.
"Strategist, why don't you say goodbye to you and me?" Liu Bei was a little reproachful.
Xu Shu frowned: "If the envoy is here to kill Shu, then do it!" ”
"Yuan Zhi, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, for the sake of your mother, how can I fight each other with swords? Come, this mink fur is draped, the wind is cold on the road, pay attention to keep warm. ”
Liu Bei was concerned in his eyes, handed over the mink fur, and took the backpack handed over by Jian Yong: "Na, this is the silver money and dry food prepared for you, eat on the road." ”
"Lord, you..." Xu Shu's eyes turned red, and he regretted a little, Liu Bei's personality charm really made him sigh, and it was definitely a blessing to be able to assist such a lord.
"Go ahead!" Liu Bei patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and said gently.
"Lord!" Xu Shu was deeply moved: "When you leave this time, I am afraid that I will never see the lord again, before leaving, I am willing to introduce another person to the lord!" ”
"Who is it?" Liu Bei asked eagerly.
"Zhuge Kongming, this person is in Nanyang Wollongong to escape the world, he is not very old, but he has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, or he can help the lord to take a piece of his own foundation in this troubled world."
Xu Shu's expression was solemn, he had communicated with Zhuge Liang several times, he was ashamed of his talent, the key was that this person seemed to be indifferent to fame and fortune, and he had no idea of being a man at all.
"How's Mr. Bi?" Liu Bei asked.
"Hehe, compared with me, it is like a horse compared to a unicorn, and the stars are better than the moon, which cannot be compared at all!" Xu Shu waved his hand and humbled himself.
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Bei made a move.
Then, Liu Bei stood in place, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, watching the figure become more and more blurred, until he disappeared on the horizon, he was still reluctant.
That Zhuge Liang is still in Nanyang, and he is not helpful at all in this battle, and Xu Shu is still gone in this battle, that is to say, he can only count on himself.
However, since Xu Shu said it, after surviving this difficulty, he must meet Zhuge Kongming and beg him to come out of the mountain.
It's just that if Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang had been kidnapped by Chu Feng, I don't know how to feel, obviously his way has been blocked!
"Lord, it's cold, go back!"
————
In the blink of an eye, a few days later.
In the territory of Dangyang, the Chu army came in a mighty way.
Chu Feng rode a war horse and looked at the villages along the way, although the winter in Jiangnan was not too cold, the biting chill still made people shiver.
"Lord, there are still more than a hundred miles to reach Jiangling." Zhang Xiu was on Chu Feng's side and said loudly.
"The marching speed is too slow, and Gangneung Fortress has high walls, so it is not a wise choice to storm it!" Chu Feng's expression was solemn: "What did Master Gan Ning say over there?" ”
"There is a detour from Xiangyang to Jiangling, but the waterway march is faster, and I think Ganning can block Jiangling first." Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
"That's good, the retreat is blocked, I want to see if a group of miscellaneous soldiers under Liu Bei dare to fight to the death!" Chu Feng's gloomy eyes showed murderous intent,
"Report~, the lord of Qiyu, Xiangyang urgent."
At this moment, the herald rushed in, carrying the command flag behind his back, and no one dared to stop him all the way.
"Xiangyang urgent?" Chu Feng frowned: "What happened in Xiangyang?" ”
"My lord, General Lu asked Zai Xia to pass the message, Cao and Yuan signed an armistice agreement, and Cao Cao may have ceded several counties north of Xiapi to Yuan Shao first."
The herald clenched his fists and repeated.
"What do you say? A truce? Is there a truce in Guandu? Chu Feng emphasized it twice in a row, a little unbelievable, because in history, it was Cao Cao who won Guandu.
But this time, Cao Cao ceded the land and cederated the truce!
In this way, does it not mean that the entire trend of history has changed completely? And it's because of my big butterfly that I changed!
"Lord, this truce is probably Cao Cao's request for peace, and I think it has something to do with the fact that he asked people to move people from all over the country before! Now that the lord has just occupied Jingzhou, he will stop fighting, I'm afraid..."
Jia Xu brushed his beard and showed solemnity.
"He wants to run?" Chu Feng answered directly, revealing a solemn expression.
"Nine times out of ten, Cao Cao sits on the Central Plains, which should be a unified trend, but there is Yuan Shao in the north, and the lord in the south occupies Jingzhou, so it can be said that the Central Plains has become a dead end."
"I'm afraid that this truce, Cao Cao will move the people into the pass, take retreat as advance, sit and watch the lord fight with Yuan Shao, so that he can take the opportunity to control Xiliang and Hanzhong."
Jia Xu's old and spicy pupils were solemn.
Cao Cao's direct departure was not good news for Chu Feng, the situation that Chu Feng wanted to see the most was Cao Yuan fighting, no matter who won Chu Feng could take over the situation.
But now, once the two sides cease fighting, it is very likely that he will have to face Yuan Shao alone, and it will be Cao Cao who will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he will go into the water.
"It's the depths of winter at the moment, if he moves now, won't hundreds of people die tragically on the way?" Chu Feng frowned and asked a little gloomy.
"He will definitely move before the beginning of spring, even if he braves the heavy snow, he will have to move, otherwise he will not sow grain in the spring next year, and what will he eat for the people in Guanzhong."
"As for the death of some people, it doesn't matter to Cao Cao, at least his strategic layout is no problem!" Jia Xu replied in the affirmative.
Chu Feng fell into deep thought, because this truce in Guandu had indeed completely disrupted his plan.
"Lord, it seems that Cao Cao is going to throw away the entire Central Plains, and there is not much time left for us, so we should cut off Liu Bei as soon as possible and fortify Yuan Shao."
"This person can use more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, counting the garrisons in various places, plus Youzhou will also provide a large number of cavalry with the deepening of control."
"And the families from all over the Central Plains will also give subsidies, that is to say, in the coming year, I am afraid that more than 150,000 people can be mobilized under his command, or even more."
Jia Xu looked solemn and suggested.
Chu Feng nodded, he was convinced of the Yuan family's background, the later generations of officials were defeated, the Yuan family was killed seventy or eighty thousand, plus those who died in battle and surrendered, almost all the troops were wiped out.
But later, Cao Cao swallowed the entire north, but it took eight years, during which the Yuan brothers turned against each other, and the Yuan family had at least more than 200,000 troops.
Of course, with so many troops, the level of elite cannot be guaranteed.
"Wenhe, what do you think?" Chu Feng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Nanyang guards Yecheng, Jiujiang guards Shouchun, and Xuzhou guards Pi, these three points can cover the favorable terrain of the whole territory, and at the same time can form a pincer attack on the Central Plains."
"And although the northern army is brave, it lacks stamina, and there is no boat division, so the lord doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, but once this situation is fixed, it will be unfavorable to the lord!"
Jia Xu frowned, his expression solemn.
"Order, the whole army will speed up the march, and after three days, be sure to camp outside Jiangling City, and Liu Bei must not be allowed to spend this winter, otherwise the north and south will attack, and Jingzhou will be in danger!"
Chu Feng pondered slightly, knowing the danger of the situation.
Jingzhou must be taken, only in this way can there be no need to worry about the safety of the rear.
"No!" The generals all nodded in agreement.
Immediately, the generals of various departments gave orders one after another, and the speed of tens of thousands of troops began to speed up.
————
In the blink of an eye, three days later.
Outside the city of Jiangling, the Chu army was densely packed.
There are more than 30,000 foot soldiers, and as for the Han River in Biling, there are countless Chu army warships, and the towering and majestic warships stand on the river.
In addition to the soldiers and horses encamped, the rest of the soldiers and horses Chu Feng were all pulled outside the city, and he was ready to let the various phalanxes first deter a wave to shock the enemy's heart.
At the head of the city, Liu Bei frowned gloomily.
Although he has a lot of soldiers and horses in the city, he is worried in the slightest, mainly because the soldiers and horses under his command are not his own, and they are all miscellaneous soldiers.
Compared with the central army under the city, the high and low are immediate, while the order is prohibited, and the actions are uniform, but on the other hand, there is no momentum.
"Hey, the military advisor is gone, otherwise he must know how to break the enemy!" Liu Bei sighed, a little missing.
"Big brother, although the military advisor is gone, but the eldest brother still has a second brother, it may be a little difficult to break the enemy, but there is no problem in holding this Jiangling."
Guan Yu is still arrogant, but a little more jealous.
He had fought with Chu Feng, if it was against others, I am afraid that he would have asked the battle to lead his troops to defeat the enemy army, but he knew that Chu Feng was a pervert, and he almost couldn't parry it with a halberd.
"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded.
"It's Liu Xuande at the head of the city!" Chu Feng stepped forward and shouted with a hearty smile.
"Hmph, Chu thief, Er Mo wants to be pretended, I am inseparable from you." Liu Bei snorted coldly, pointed at Chu Feng and shouted.
"Hehe, in this winter, Brother Xuande is still so angry?" Chu Feng teased and chuckled: "Xuande, in fact, I want to tell you that I am about to become a father." ”
"What do you have to do with me!" Liu Bei reprimanded angrily.
"Before coming to Jingzhou this time, I found that Mi Zhen and Gan Qian were about to give birth, and it is estimated that when the war here is over, they will be able to give birth to children for me."
"When the child is full moon, do you have to give a big gift!" Chu Feng said deliberately in a very calm tone.
"You, you dog thief, I am inseparable from you!" Liu Bei's body trembled in an instant, you must know that those two are his own wives,
Chu Feng told him in front of tens of thousands of soldiers that he had greened himself and was pregnant with an heir.
"Xuande, don't be angry! Although the child is not yours, it proves something anyway, isn't it? Chu Feng spread his hands with an expression that I all knew.
"What does it prove?" Liu Bei reprimanded angrily.
"Hehe, Guan Yu, find some doctors for your eldest brother another day, he doesn't seem to be very good!" The corners of Chu Feng's mouth were hooked, and he held back a smile.
When the words fell, the three armies instantly burst out laughing,
However, the defenders at the head of the city looked at each other, a little embarrassed, especially some small generals, who were a little hesitant when they thought that Liu Bei had no heirs.
After all, Liu Bei is a martial artist, and the soldiers and horses under his command are not elite soldiers, and at this moment, Jiangling is even more surrounded and falls into a dead end, which makes the surrendered general not nervous.
"Chu Feng, aren't you just going to be quick to talk?" Liu Bei frowned gloomily and gritted his teeth.
"What, you still want to come out and fight me? The point, do you dare? Chu Feng was very curious, and chuckled and joked.
"You..." Liu Bei was very angry, he felt that he couldn't get a bargain on Chu Feng's side, and immediately shouted to all the soldiers in the city: "Soldiers, Chu Feng killed Liu Biao, the crime is unforgivable!" ”
"Now, Jiangling City has thick walls and 100,000 elite soldiers, even if Chu Feng has the ability to reach the sky, it will never be possible to take Jiangling, and when the enemy army retreats, each person will be rewarded with ten stones of grain and ten pieces of money!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
