Chapter 449: The most powerful general in the imperial court
"Report!"
"Suddenly a large army appeared outside the city, with tens of thousands of troops, and the general who led the army asked the king to go to the city to speak."
A scout hurried into the office and reported loudly.
Liu Bei, who was gathering the civil and military forces in Jingzhou, was discussing in the government office, and suddenly felt like a dream when he heard this report.
"How could a large army suddenly appear outside Jingzhou City?" He muttered involuntarily.
Kuai Yue said, "Envoy, I'm afraid that the imperial army has arrived."
"Imperial Soldiers?!" Liu Bei was startled for a moment, and couldn't help but lose his mind a little.
In the past few days, he coerced Liu Biao's family to order Jingzhou civil and military, and really managed the soldiers in Xiangyang, and finally felt that there was a little bit of a heroic meaning, and even he deliberately didn't think about the fact that the imperial army was coming to Xiangyang.
But today, this dream was shattered without warning.
Why did the imperial army come coldly!
"You shouldn't have any other objections, right?" Liu Bei looked around at everyone and asked in a deep voice.
After waiting for a while, he saw that no one spoke, so he got up and said, "Open the gates of the city, and please accompany me to welcome the arrival of the king!"
"Whoa!"
Just now, Liu Bei saw everyone's expressions and understood everything.
Just in case it would be Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, Liu Bei still climbed the city wall to take a look.
Although he had been with Xuxian and Xiahou Yuan's troops for a long time, when he saw it again, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, it was a visible military might.
After confirming that there was no mistake, Liu Bei ordered someone to open the city gate, and then personally took Jingzhou Wenwu out of the city and burned incense to greet him.
Pang Degong, Sima Hui and others were also in the queue.
After they were invited back by Cai Mao that day, they were very valued by Liu Bei and stayed in the government office.
The horses galloped, and a cavalry broke away from the large army array and galloped towards the middle city gate.
Before he arrived, the murderous aura that rushed out of the thousands of troops and horses rushed to his face.
"Huang Fujun, in the face of such a military might, what are your chances of winning?" Cai Mao deliberately said to Huang Zu.
Huang Zu snorted lightly, reluctant to deal with Cai Mao, "Then what are your chances of winning?"
"I, I don't have a chance of winning!" Cai Mao smiled, "I can eat as much as I have a big belly, and when I see such a military might, I will fart and admit defeat!"
"That's because we're ready to submit, or you wouldn't have uttered such!" Huang Zu said disdainfully, at this time, it would not be wrong to say anything, so he naturally said it casually.
Liu Bei saw the cavalry galloping towards him, so he bowed down early, and his attitude can be said to have reached the extreme.
The cavalry, like a hurricane, came to a halt in the dust a few paces away.
"I heard the name of Liu Yuanjun earlier, and I can see it today, and sure enough, the hero is good, Liu Yuanjun went out of the city to greet him, but Liu Biao is already dead?" After the general dismounted immediately, he praised Liu Bei very politely.
But what he said made Liu Bei, who lowered his head, feel a little painful in his face, and he was suddenly unhappy.
But he quietly suppressed these distracting thoughts, and still said very politely: "Dare to teach this general to know that Liu Jingsheng has no official position now, and he doesn't have to go out of the city to meet the imperial court. Moreover, he had a serious relapse after drinking some time ago, and he is now recuperating in bed."
"Why are you still drinking and getting sick? It's rare!" The general laughed twice, and said very regretfully, "I wanted to watch a dragon and tiger fight, but I didn't expect to see only one tiger sitting on the top of the mountain and one tiger lying on the head of the bed.
"Listening to Liu Yuanjun's tone, you don't know the general, right? Ben will be Zhang Ji!"
Liu Bei really didn't know him.
But after hearing Zhang Ji report his home, he didn't want to know him even more.
It turned out that this butcher himself was the pioneer.
Damn it, listening to this guy's tone, this dog thing seems to have bad intentions when he is a pioneer.
Zhang Ji, who reported himself to his family, was not only Liu Bei alone, but also the faces of Jingzhou generals such as Cai Mao and Huang Zu
The color has changed almost in unison.
Zhang Ji may not be the most brave and good at fighting among the generals of the imperial court, but he is definitely the best.
He has done the matter of chasing and killing for thousands of miles, and he has also done the matter of putting on a grand view of Beijing.
Under the identity of a butcher, the only thing he hasn't done now is probably the slaughter of the city.
The difficulty of this bastard is almost the common cognition of generals all over the world.
"The two people around me are probably not very familiar with each other, so I'll report myself to the house for them by the way. General Zhang He, the general of the middle of the army, and the middle of the military department." Zhang Ji raised his hand, and very politely introduced the people on his side one by one, and then said, "Jingzhou everyone, I know everything, so there is no need to introduce them. There are a few people who may have relatively small official positions, and I want to get acquainted. No, that's wrong, it's Your Majesty who wants to get to know you."
"Drama Langzhong, please!"
Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, "Here...... Directly?"
He didn't expect Zhang Ji to go straight to the point here.
"It's good here, we don't plan to go into the city, let's just go here." Zhang Ji said.
Liu Bei and Jingzhou Wenwu: ......
Fuck, what's the matter.
"Envoy, General Zhang Ji is not worried about us, you should show one or two." Kuai Yue whispered in Liu Bei's ear.
Liu Bei also noticed this just now, so he arched his hand and said, "General Zhang has come thousands of miles, presumably he is tired all the way, please enter the city to rest for a while, and other things can be done slowly. If the general does not trust us, I can send the soldiers and horses out of the city, and the general's men will take over."
"No, no, how can the general on the horse easily say that he is tired? Don't think about it, I'm really short on time." Zhang Ji waved his hand and said, "The soldiers and horses from all directions are coming out, if I, the closest, can't fight a lightning-like battle, then I, Zhang Ji, am incompetent!"
Liu Bei and Jingzhou Wenwu: ......
This guy is really fucking Biao!
"Let's get started." Zhang Ji said to Xi Zhicai again.
Xi Zhicai had no choice but to take out Liu Wei's edict and read aloud: "Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Pang Tong, these four people can be?"
Pang Tong, who was shrinking in the crowd, heard his name, and his face was full of confusion.
How can this be his business?!
It shouldn't be at all.
"Shi Yuan, what do you want? Why don't you hurry up and obey orders!" Sima Hui urged on the side, "Don't doubt it, your future is coming."
Pang Tong muttered, "But why me?"
"Water comes naturally, so why bother with this? Let's go!" Sima Hui said with a smile.
Pang Tong arched his hand at Sima Hui, "So, I'll go up."
"Pang Tong pays a visit to Xi Langzhong." Pang Tong stepped forward and bowed, then stood aside.
Xi Zhicai bowed his head, looked at Liu Bei again and asked, "Liu Yuanjun, aren't the others here?"
The few people that Fang Xi Zhicai said, except for Pang Tong, the other people Liu Bei only knew their names, and they didn't know where they were, and they were in a hurry to discuss with Kuai Yue at this time.
"Tell me." Liu Bei listened to it and probably didn't fully figure it out, so he simply asked Kuai Yue to explain.
"Whoa!" Kuai Yue responded, stepped forward and said: "Xi Lang Zhongrong, Huang Zhong is the general of Jingzhou Zhonglang, following Liu Pan to garrison Changsha Youxian, and Wen Ping also led the army to garrison Jingbei, both of them are in the army, and it may take some time to arrive in Xiangyang. However, Wei Yan, who had heard that he led the tribe and was active in the Jingbei generation, but it is not clear where he was humiliated."
Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Ji, "General Zhang, what should I do now?"
Zhang Ji turned over and dismounted, shouting to the left and right, "Set up camp here!"
"Whoa!"
Then, Zhang Ji said to Liu Bei, "Envoy Liu, please send fast horses to order these three generals to lead the army to Xiangyang for a meeting. It stands to reason that since Liu Yuanjun is ready to return to the imperial court, he should rectify the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and accept the dispatch of the imperial court, why does the soldiers and horses in Jingxiang still seem to be stationed
Stay on the ground?"
刘备解释道,「张将军误会了,荆襄之地的宗贼甚嚣尘上,我在接掌荆州兵马之后,便立即下令清剿,同时为朝廷大军准备粮秣,故而这些兵马才在原先的驻地上。」
Zhang Ji nodded thoughtfully, "So that's the case, it seems that I did misunderstand Liu Yuanjun. I don't know how this thief is doing now, and how is Liu Yuanjun's grain and grass raised?"
"There has been some progress, but it will take time!" Liu Bei said helplessly.
Zhang Jilai's speed was too fast, and he was completely caught off guard.
He had just begun, and he hadn't even seen a shadow of hair.
But he can't directly say that he was just going to do it, if he said so, Zhang Ji would definitely have to blow up.
