Chapter 491: Liu Bei enters Shu
Padang, Yongan County.
The wind on the Yangtze River is getting colder and colder.
The cold wind blew, so cold that Liu Bei tightened the clothes on his body, and then looked at the snow in the sky, sprinkled with joy, and sighed: "It's finally snowing!" ”
He was followed by 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Guan Zhang, as well as Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Jian Yong.
This is Liu Bei's only team at present, and now is the time to enter Shuzhong and achieve his great hegemony, of course, he has to take them with him.
Pang Tong and Xu Shu tried every means to take Liu Bei to leave from Xudu, and quickly went south all the way, from Jingzhou to Badong, which was already the place of Yizhou.
"It's snowing, and Cao Cao's people can't catch up."
Xu Shu said confidently: "On the third day we left, Cao Cao discovered us and sent people to chase us for a long time, but we couldn't see the pursuers in the rear, and when we entered Yizhou, Cao Cao didn't dare to chase us in at will." ”
"So much the best!"
Then, Liu Bei had to show off his benevolence and righteousness, sighed and said: "I am about to enter Shu, I feel that I am even more wrong!" ”
Zhang Fei said loudly: "Big brother's move is for the world, what can be wrong?" Let's take Yizhou, and then treat Liu Jiyu well. ”
"The third brother is right!"
Guan Yu also persuaded: "In front of the world, the eldest brother should be more ruthless, otherwise the people of the world will continue to suffer from war." ”
Liu Bei likes to listen to these words, they hold themselves high, vanity can be greatly satisfied, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, come and come, if you don't continue, I will be sorry for all the soldiers who followed me to Yong'an, by the way, when will Zhang Ziqiao and them come to pick us up?" ”
"Extrapolating from time, it's also fast."
Pang Tong said.
Liu Bei said again: "Rest for a while, we'll set off later!" ”
They rested for half an hour on the edge of the Yangtze River, when a scout came to report that an army of more than 5,000 people was approaching in the west, as if it was the Shu army that had come to respond.
"Yun Chang, go take a look." Liu Bei said.
Guan Yu rode forward, and after a while, he returned with a general.
This general turned over and dismounted, came to Liu Bei, bowed and said: "Under Li Yan, the word is square, I have seen Uncle Liu Huang!" I got Zhang Ziqiao's arrangement to pick up Uncle Liu Huang and go to Fucheng, Liu Yizhou will meet Uncle Liu Huang in Fucheng, and our plan will also be launched in Fucheng at that time. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, it was almost done, stepped forward and grabbed Li Yan's hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you, General Li!" ”
"Uncle Liu Huang is polite!"
Li Yan said.
Next, Li Yan led the way.
Liu Bei and the others led 5,000 soldiers all the way into Yizhou.
Normally, Liu Bei is weak and is not qualified to enter Yizhou and replace Liu Zhang.
Zhang Song and the others want to change a master for Yizhou, with Liu Bei's strength, they are really not qualified, and they can completely replace them.
However, no one from the Dongzhou faction wants to be the lord.
In the entire faction, there are not many families.
You are the lord, and I may not obey.
I am the lord, and you may not obey.
Those families are not convinced by anyone, and it is difficult for them to elect a new lord in the Dongzhou faction, and if they have to choose one, it is easy to cause civil strife, so they think that it is better to choose an outsider to be the lord.
They control the outsider, or they are attached.
It's like Liu Yan at the beginning.
It just so happened that at this time, the people arranged by Xu Shu entered Yizhou to help Liu Bei lobby and seek an opportunity to enter Shu.
They felt that Liu Bei was very suitable.
Liu Bei is not only the imperial prince, he used to have a certain prestige, and he has the ability, and it is more reasonable to support him to replace Liu Zhang than anyone else, and there is Zhang Song going to Xu Du.
Liu Bei's entry into Shu is in their interests.
That's all there is to it, and it is a matter of course.
They went from Yong'an to Yizhou.
Liu Bei often talked to Li Yan, pulled the relationship, and asked a lot about Yizhou.
This time, he brought troops into Shu openly, and the reason given by Liu Bei was to take refuge in Liu Zhang, and to help Liu Zhang deal with Zhang Lu, which was recognized by Liu Zhang.
They walked for many days.
The snow in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting more and more troublesome to hurry, until the middle of December, and finally came to more than ten miles outside Fucheng.
"It's cold!"
Liu Bei exhaled a breath of white air.
He forgot how long it had been, he hadn't tried to march in the ice and snow, and the last time it seemed to be with Yang Zhao was when he attacked Zhang Chun and others.
Pang Tong asked, "May I ask Zhang Ziqiao, how did they arrange it?" ”
Li Yan said: "Ziqiao, they arranged a reason for Uncle Liu Huang to replace Liu Yizhou in the name of righteousness. ”
Pang Tongyi understood what he heard, smiled and asked: "Do you frame Liu Zhang, let's bite back again, Liu Zhang is unjust, we are righteous?" ”
Li Yan admired and said: "Mr. Pang is right, although this method is a little unbearable, but it can help Uncle Liu Huang stabilize Yizhou as soon as possible, according to your analysis, Cao Cao will definitely attack Yizhou, if we don't stabilize it as soon as possible, it will be difficult to deal with Cao Cao." ”
They also arranged scouts to keep an eye on the situation outside Patong.
As long as Cao Cao has any movement, the scout will come back and report it as soon as possible.
Liu Bei said helplessly: "I shouldn't do this, and I want Liu Yizhou to be unjust, alas, ......"
Jian Yong said: "Lord, those who achieve great things, do not be informal!" ”
"I can only be ruthless!"
Liu Bei's face was full of guilt, and he said: "Trouble General Li to lead the way again, let's go to Fucheng." ”
"Uncle Liu, please here!" Li Yandao.
They were gone for a long time.
When you are about to come to Fucheng, you can see hundreds of people coming out of the city.
The person at the head was a scribe, came to Liu Bei and said, "Fa Zheng, the word is filial piety, I have seen Uncle Liu Huang." ”
"Filial piety doesn't need to be polite."
Liu Bei knew Fa Zheng and asked, "When will Liu Yizhou meet me?" ”
Fa Zheng said: "Liu Yizhou is still in Chengdu, I have ordered someone to go back, tell him that Uncle Liu Huang is here, and he will definitely be able to get to Fucheng within seven days at the earliest, everything inside and outside the city, I have arranged it, and in Chengdu, our people are also welcoming Uncle Liu Huang." ”
"Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Bei's heart finally stabilized.
Fa Zheng shook his head and said: "For the sake of the Great Han, we are not afraid of hardship, I hope that Uncle Liu Huang is really for the Great Han, and not like Yang Zhao and Cao Cao and others, who only think about self-reliance." ”
"I definitely won't!"
Liu Bei said in a solemn tone and assured.
But if you say no now, it won't be necessary in the future, and your power has swelled to a certain extent, and you still want to continue to go up.
Fa Zheng's expression softened a little, and said with a smile: "Please Uncle Liu Huang into the city, hot soup has been prepared in the city, warm and good wine, to keep out the cold." ”
"Good!"
Liu Bei was relieved, he had been cold for so long, he could finally be comfortable for a while, and he could really have his own territory, and he was willing to come to his heart!
Fortunately, with two military divisions, great things can be done!
