Chapter 30 Protagonist

How grand the wedding banquet is prepared, how hasty the end is.

The wedding banquet scene decorated in red turned into a meeting hall in an instant. The word 'Xi' behind Liu Biao seemed to reveal a sense of embarrassment in Huo Jun's eyes.

Liu Biao sat in the center, Liu Bei and Liu Qi each lived on the left and right, and the civil and military forces on both sides sat side by side. Everyone looked different, Kuai Yue pondered the reason for this matter, Liu Qi was impatient, and Liu Bei sat firmly on the seat......

After a while, Liu Biao's eyes were solemn and said: "There is a nursery rhyme prophecy in the front, and a book from the water god in the back." This may be a sign from the gods, and we ought to follow it. ”

Kuai Yue groaned for a while, and arched his hand and said: "Ming Gong, the truth of the book collection in the fish belly can be known, I am afraid that there is a traitor." Today, if you only rely on a towel and a nursery rhyme, you will send troops to Jiangdong, and it may be too late to start a war with the Sun family. ”

Kuai Yue relied on his intuition, he always felt that there was a force forcibly pushing Liu Biao to start a war against Sun Quan, and this force did not belong to his side. In order to know the source of this power, he had to speak out against it and see if he could force this person out.

Wang Cang, who had already been asked by Huo Jun, arched his hand and said: "Qi Ming Gong, the words of the prince and the marquis may be biased. Who in Jingzhou can have a grudge against the Sun family? Looking at it, except for Ming Gong, no one has a grudge against Sun. Although the Sun family is brutal, most of the people who have grievances are surnamed Jiangzuo. ”

"If you reluctantly say it, Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Zhang Shi, the Taishou of Nanyang, and have an enmity with the Sun family, but Wang and Zhang are not from Jingzhou. Therefore, what Kuai Junhou said is a traitor, I don't know who he is referring to? ”

Wang Cang refuted Kuaiyue's illogic from the perspective of profit gain and loss, since it may be someone who is causing trouble, it must be the person who has damaged the interests in order to retaliate.

"Hmm!"

The suspicious Liu Biao stared at Kuai Yue, as if he was suspicious of something.

Kuai Liang came out in time and said: "Duke Ming, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, in order to seek the support of the soldiers and demagogue, once carried out the fish-bellied book collection and bonfire fox singing. This matter is the same as the predecessors, it is necessary to be prepared, and whether there are ghosts and gods needs to be discussed deeply. ”

As soon as Kuai Liang's words fell, Yi Ji retorted and said: "Kuai Liang's words are the same as those of his predecessors, but if there is really a traitor, how can he not know about it?" If he is a traitor, he will do something else, and he will deceive people. ”

As he spoke, Yi Ji arched his hand towards Liu Biao and said, "My lord, the gods have descended from the gods, and they must not be ignored." And on the day of great joy, this evil omen descends, it can be seen that the disaster is not small, and it should be prevented! ”

"Exactly!"

Huo Jun stood up and said in a deep voice: "There are ghosts and gods in the world, Emperor Gaozu beheaded the white snake and raised an army, with the spirit of the Son of Heaven, defeated Xiang Yu, swept away the heroes, and built my Han foundation; Emperor Shizu again, the battle of Kunyang, the new mangxiong soldier millions, fortunately the head of the camp star fell, and the army was overthrown, bleeding three thousand miles, and rejuvenating my Han foundation. ”

"Dare to ask the two, if there are no ghosts and gods in the world, why do my ancestors and the two emperors of the ancestors rule the world?" Huo Jun asked.

"Ming Gong, forgive Jun for being blunt, don't talk about ghosts and gods, just talk about the pros and cons. Our army's conquest of Jiangzuo will have more advantages than disadvantages. ”

Huo Jun's tongue output from the commanding heights made the Kuai brothers have nothing to say. Gaozu slashed the White Snake Uprising and discussed the truth or falsehood, but how can Emperor Shizu summon a meteorite to come to the world.

Huo Jun pressed the long sword in his hand, paced in the center, and said: "According to Jun's knowledge from Jiangzuo Shangjia, the Sun family and the Cao family have long been in-laws, and the daughter of Yuzhang Taishou Sun Ben is the wife of Cao Cao's second son Cao Zhang, and Cao Cao has a younger brother and daughter with Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Kuang. Last year, Cao Cao took advantage of the prestige of the original prince to send an envoy to Sun Quan to ask for a proton, and now Sun Quan may have already sent a proton to the north. ”

"What?"

"Sun Cao's marriage?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The secret of the marriage between Sun Cao is not to be investigated, and only a few people know about it. If Huo Jun hadn't said it himself, how would Liu Biao and the officials of Jingzhou know about this kind of secret.

Seeing everyone like this, the corners of Huo Jun's mouth rose slightly, this was another bomb in his hand. If he didn't have the memory of later generations, he wouldn't have known that Sun Cao had married in the early days. As for the proton, he didn't know, but two truths mixed with a lie, who could tell the difference!

Liu Biao's face has changed a little, if the Sun family and the Cao family really have a marriage, wouldn't it be that the north and east of Jingzhou are enemies. Cao Cao went south and Sun Quan went west, so he didn't have to play.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao glanced at each other, and they also saw the worry in each other's eyes, but they didn't expect that in addition to them in the south, there were also people in Jiangdong who were eyebrow-raising with Cao Cao.

At this time, Kuai Yue also completely understood Huo Jun's purpose, they supported Liu Cong, and Huo Jun and Yi supported Liu Qi. took advantage of these things to plan to attack Jiangdong and help Liu Qi inherit the throne of Jingzhou.

Kuai Yue looked at Huo Jun and was jealous, this son couldn't stay in Xiangyang, if he stayed in Xiangyang, he would ruin their affairs.

Liu Biao set his eyes on Liu Bei, trying to ask for something to prove. After all, Liu Bei is from Xuchang and has stayed by Cao Cao's side.

Liu Bei arched his hand to Liu Biao and said, "Envoy, what Huo Senjun said is true. The Cao family and the Sun family have long been married, and the two families have a close relationship, so they should be on guard. ”

Angry, Liu Biao slammed the handrail on the table to vent his dissatisfaction, and said: "Cao Cao, Sun Quan!" ”

After watching the scene all night, Liu Qi got up and went out of the queue and said: "Father, the Sun family has a lot of hatred with my Jingzhou, and Jinqi is willing to lead the troops to Jiangdong to raise the prestige of my Jingzhou, thwart the conspiracy of the Sun and Cao families, and prevent evil omens." ”

Seeing this scene, Kuai Yue secretly sighed that it was not good, if Liu Qi was allowed to take charge of the army, Liu Cong would be in danger. Then their purpose of using Jingzhou as a capital and taking refuge in Cao Cao was also frustrated.

Kuai Yue heard the sound and said: "Qi Ming Gong, Sun Tzu said: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." "Now I don't know the depth of Jiangzuo, don't move troops easily, and the eldest son rarely has the experience of fighting on the battlefield, if he is defeated, it is not trivial."

After speaking, Kuai Yue hurriedly fiddled with gestures, signaling Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others to come out and shout.

"Duke Ming, this year, Liu Yuanjun went to the Central Plains, and the military cost a lot; And Jiaozhou is constantly fighting, and the people are tired, and it may be difficult to send troops to attack Wu. Kuai Liang said: "The matter of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Jiangdong should be considered in the long run. ”

Zhang Yun also stood up and said: "Ming Gong, Cao Cao is in the Central Plains, if there is no Liu Yuzhou to defend it, who can be the enemy?" And Liu Yuzhou doesn't know the law of water warfare, although it is beneficial to the army, but who can fight the water army? ”

"The soldiers of Jiangdong are brave, but the soldiers of our army are inferior. Under the rapid attack, it is not possible to collude with Cao Cao to attack south, and Jingzhou will be in danger at that time. From our point of view, Jiangxia can increase troops to take precautions, and Cao Cao in the north is in great trouble. Zhang Yun said.

Under the repeated persuasion of his cronies, Liu Biao hesitated again. Compared with Huo Jun and Liu Qi, Liu Biao relies on these Xiangyang people all the year round, and their right to speak is quite important in Jingzhou.

Seeing this, Huo Jun laughed a few times, attracted everyone's attention, held the long sword in his hand, strode out again, and said: "Ming Gong, the words of the princes of Xiangyang seem to be safe, but they are actually the way to die. Today's world is like a warring state, and the heroes are frequently fighting, and the strong are strong, and the weak are dead. ”

"The eldest son of Qi led the army to conquer Jiangdong, thinking about the great cause of Jingzhou. Its water battle can be assisted by Huang Taishou, and the land battle can be assisted by Liu Yuzhou. Huang Taishou, the person who shot the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, guarded Jiangxia for several years, although he is old now, he is just a strong person on the left side of the river. Liu Yuzhou, who broke the yellow scarf, saved Xuzhou, killed the car, and rampaged in the Central Plains, is really a general. ”

Huo Jun's upright and heroic posture has become the focus of everyone's eyes, and he is the protagonist of this play tonight.

"With the help of these two people, even if it is difficult to break Jiangdong, he can be undefeated." Huo Jun said confidently.

"Father, what Huo Senjun said is extremely true!" Liu Qi said.

Then Huo Jun looked at everyone, raised his voice, and said: "As for the situation in the Central Plains, Jun steals that although Hebei and Yuan are opposites, Hebei has strong troops, and Cao Cao is not in a hurry. If you can't afford to attack Jiangzuo today, when will you stay? ”

"The matter of grain and grass, Jun has heard of raising soldiers for a thousand days, and using soldiers for a while. Jingzhou is rich, how can it not take out the army food of Jiangzuo, it is all in the thought of Ming Gong. ”

As he spoke, Huo Jun bowed his hand to Liu Biao and said in a sincere tone: "Ming Gong, today's feast of great joy, but the sky suddenly descended on an evil omen, which is really a sign from the gods, and this victory of heaven's will is also; Jiangzuo Sun's family, the county is not smooth, the thief is restless, and I Jingzhou is politically harmonious, this is the victory of the people; The water of the great river, Jingzhou is in the middle, the left of the river is down, and it goes down the river, which is the victory of the geographical advantage! ”

Huo Jun pressed the sword with one hand, his tone was aggravated, and he said: "Jingzhou has three victories of heaven, earth and man, if you don't cut it, it will be against the will of heaven." And if I don't wait to cut down Jiangzuo, Sun Quan will also use troops to my Jingzhou, and if I don't fight now, I should be foolish! ”

"Color!"

Everyone present looked at Huo Jun, and today's Huo Jun almost relied on the power of his tongue to completely make Liu Biao firm in his idea of attacking Jiangdong.

Fu Xun on the scene shook his head and sighed, he underestimated Huo Jun, with his ability, he could completely compare to the national soldiers.

The newlywed Cai girl hid behind the side hall, looking at the heroic and majestic Huo Jun, and then at the incompetent Liu Cong, feeling gloomy. I don't know what kind of woman can be worthy of such a great man!

Zhuge Liang, who was peeking at the situation in the curtain, also stopped the feather fan, compared to everyone, he vaguely knew the content of Huo Jun's plan.

"Huo Zhong Miao's husband! Angry and fearful, peaceful and extinguished. Zhuge Liang sighed in a tone full of envy.

After a little silence, Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao, who had not expressed his opinion, and asked, "De Jue, if you send troops to attack Sun today, can Jingzhou use soldiers?" ”

Cai Mao took a deep breath and said, "Qi Ming Gong, what Huo Senjun said is not unreasonable. However, it is inconvenient to dispatch the army, and it is winter, and the river water is declining, which is not conducive to water warfare, so the battle can be postponed. Huo Senjun said that the Sun clan would definitely invade Jiangxia, so it was better to let Huo join the army to benefit Jiangxia, one could be the precursor to the Sun, and the other could temporarily prevent the Sun clan from attacking. ”

"When the spring and summer rise, the grain and grass are prepared, and the sergeants are trained in an orderly manner, and then the eldest son will be invited to go on the expedition. And the Xinye defense line is very important, and Liu Yuzhou still needs to be properly arranged. ”

"How long will it take?" Liu Biao asked.

"Maybe it can be done in the spring!" Cai Mao said vaguely.

"Good!" Liu Biao looked at Huo Jun and asked: "Zhong Miao has both civil and military talents, and he persuaded a certain to attack Jiangzuo, I don't know if I want to go to Jiangxia?" ”

"Jun is willing to go to Jiangxia and serve Ming Gong!" Huo Jun replied in a deep voice.

Huo Jun glanced at Cai Mao, and he could see Cai Mao's procrastination clearly. In order to go down to Jiangdong, he had to go to Jiangxia.

"Good!"

Huo Jun: Vote, collect, and read.
