"Old Huang Zu, you deceive people too much!"

Gan Ning kicked over the case in the account, scolded and said: "In the past, I didn't care about deducting military funds, but now I have erased my military exploits, this revenge is not avenged, how can I rather be willing to rest?" ”

Gan Ning held the knife alone, walking back and forth in the camp tent, with an angry appearance, Su Fei was frightened, and stepped forward to pull Gan Ning to sit down, for fear that Gan Ning would not be able to think about it, and he would kill Huang Zu with the knife.

"Xingba and sit, for military merits, Fei will find General Huang to recommend Xingba to see if he can do it according to his merits." Su Fei said.

In fact, Su Fei is also difficult to do, Gan Ning is his friend, Huang Zu is his superior, he can only persuade Gan Ning to calm down at the moment.

Gan Ning sat on the seat, his expression gloomy, his face was red, and his anger was obviously difficult to dissipate for a while.

Su Fei glanced at Huo Jun and said, "Let's go and see General Huang to see if we can successfully recommend Xingba." ”

Huo Jun understood what Su Fei meant, and after he left, he poured tea for Gan Ning and said: "Xingba, if Huang Zu can't make a contribution to Xingba, Jun will go to Xiangyang on this trip and report to Liu Jingzhou when he reports to Xingba. And the eldest son and General Zuo are about to enter Jiangdong, and when Xingba has made contributions, don't be in a hurry at the moment! ”

"Zhong Miao is kind, Ning Xinzhi. Ran Ning was only resentful in his heart, and it was difficult to vent for a while. Gan Ning said.

Gan Ning was depressed in his heart, at this time he was like a migrant worker who was owed wages for half a year in later generations, both irritable and angry, but there was no feasible way.

"Don't worry, and if Brother Yunlong can persuade General Huang to change his mind." Huo Jun said soothingly.

With Gan Ning's talents, he will be of great use when he goes down to Jiangdong. Therefore, Huo Jun was afraid that Gan Ning would take refuge in Jiangdong in a fit of anger, so he could only try to appease Gan Ning at the moment.

After a while, Su Fei looked gloomy and returned to the tent.

"Xingba!" Su Fei shook his head and said, "I strongly recommend Xingba several times, but the government can't use it, maybe it depends on Liu Jingzhou's intentions." ”

"It's okay, there's Brother Lao Yunlong." Gan Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly: "Isn't there still Zhong Miao?" ”

Huo Jun poured another cup of tea for Gan Ning, and said comfortingly: "Jun's trip north to Xiangyang will be as short as a few days and as long as a month. Even if Liu Jingzhou can't use it, I will find a good master for Xingba, and I won't bury Xingba's talents. ”

Huo Jun already had a perfect plan in his heart, as the general of Jingzhou, Gan Ning, if he still couldn't get Liu Biao's reuse, he would go to find Liu Bei. Let Liu Bei make Gan Ning a lieutenant general, and then negotiate with Huang Zu through Liu Qi to turn Gan Ning into Liu Bei's subordinate.

Gan Ning looked at Huo Jun gratefully, raised the tea and said, "Rather replace the wine with tea, thank Zhong Miao for his kindness." ”

Huo Jun and Su Fei persuaded Gan Ning a few more words, and only after Gan Ning's anger dissipated did they return to the camp to rest.

The next day, Huo Jun, who was appointed to the north, hastily ate food, packed his luggage, and prepared to board the ship for Xiangyang. When Huo Jun arrived at the shore, Gan Ning, Huo Du, Gao Xiang and several others were also waiting there to say goodbye.

"The matter of war exploits will have Lao Zhongmiao." Gan Ning said embarrassedly.

"Xingba can wait for news in Jiangxia!" Huo Jun advised: "Xingba, don't worry, everything will wait for Jun to come back." ”

"Hmm!"

After chatting with Gan Ning, Huo Jun explained a few words to Huo Du and Gao Xiang, and said: "When Jun goes north, the military affairs in the camp are decided by Huo Beibu. If there is a shortage of military resources, you can ask the major general for ......"

"No!"

Gao Xiang is worthy of being the future general of Shu Han, since he integrated into the army, he has been fair, and the level of training has been rising, filling the lack of Huo Du's own ability from other aspects. This allowed Huo Jun to leave Jiangxia with confidence and go north to Xiangyang to report on work.

After a while, Huo Jun waited for the Huang to shoot the ship, against the Han water, and went along the southeast wind. Jiangxia is in the southeast of Xiangyang, the distance is thousands of miles, but the waterway is very fast.

……

In Xiangyang City, the meeting hall at this time was also talking to each other, and the discussion continued. Liu Biao on the couch also frowned and looked displeased.

After a long time, Liu Biao spoke and said: "Xuande thinks that Cao Cao ordered Xiahou to send his army to Xiping, but he has the intention of attacking Jingzhou in the south? ”

Sitting on the second seat, Liu Bei looked frank and did not see panic, and said: "Envoy, Hebei is not down, Cao Cao An will send a large army to the south." And this Xiahoudun is not good at military strategy, if Cao Cao has the intention of plotting against my Jingzhou, An Neng will send Xiahoudun south! ”

Liu Biao stroked his beard and pondered the truth in Liu Bei's words.

Seeing this, Cai Mao got up and arched his hand and said: "Qi Ming Gong, Cao Cao is dominant in the Central Plains, not to be underestimated. Mao feared that the eldest son led the army south, fearing that Nanyang's troops were insufficient, and fearing that Cao Cao would see the opportunity to go south and come to Fancheng. Mao thought that it was better to go south to the province and send troops to teach Jiangdong a lesson. ”

Liu Bei glanced at Cai Mao, and there was a sense of disgust in his eyes. There are not many people who can make Liu Bei so disgusted, Cai Mao can already be tied with Lu Bu, and in the past few months, Cai Mao has been dragging his hind legs, not letting Liu Qi send troops with him.

When the news of Sun Quan's invasion of Jiangxia came, Liu Biao remembered what Huo Jun said before leaving, and stepped up his urging, and Cai Mao slowly indicated that he could send troops.

However, when the army was about to be dispatched, there was news that Xiahoudun led the army to Xiping, which caused a little turmoil in Xiangyang City, and caused Liu Biao, who had already made up his mind, to worry about the problem in the north.

Liu Bei opened his mouth and said: "Envoy, although the two Yuan are disputes, it is difficult for Cao Cao to go to Hebei in a hurry. At this time, if I don't send troops to Jiangdong and wait for Cao Cao to unify Hebei, then I have the Sun family in the east of Jingzhou and the Cao family in the north, what should I do? ”

It's still these clichés, but Liu Bei has to say it to clarify the necessity of conquering Jiangdong.

Kuai Yue, who was taciturn, said: "As Xuande Gong said, Jiangdong cannot be levied. However, Cao Cao is in the north, and Nanyang cannot be defended, so there should be a trade-off. In Yue's opinion, it is better to let the eldest son lead some soldiers to Jiangdong first, after all, Liu Yuzhou, Huang Taishou, Liu Bi and other subordinates also have a lot of soldiers and horses. ”

"When the situation in the Central Plains is clear and Nanyang is stable, you can deploy troops and horses to support the eldest son."

Kuai Yue has worked for Liu Biao for so many years, how can he not know Liu Biao's thoughts. His suggestion is for people like Liu Biao who like and dilute mud, and have both sides. If Liu Qi really leads his troops south to Jiangdong and sends troops to support or not, it is not up to them to have the final say.

Liu Biao's eyebrows were loosened, and he had already moved to Kuai Yue's suggestion at the moment, and asked: "In a different view, how many soldiers and horses are needed to guard Nanyang, and how many soldiers and horses can be requisitioned to go south to Jiangdong." ”

Kuai Yue groaned a little and said: "Qi Ming Gong, in terms of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, the soldiers guarding Nanyang shall not be less than 20,000, and now Liu Yuzhou will go south to Jiangdong, and he needs to increase his troops and horses by 5,000, making a total of 25,000 people." ”

"To conquer Jiangdong soldiers and horses, Liu Yuzhou commanded 5,000 soldiers, Huang Tai guarded 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Bi will have 5,000 soldiers under his account, and now there are 20,000 people. Therefore, Yue thought that he could send five or six thousand elite soldiers to accompany the eldest son, which was about 25,000 people. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi looked displeased and said, "Master Kuai, how can you get 25,000 soldiers and horses." Huang Taishou needed to guard Jiangxia, and the most soldiers and horses sent were seven or eight thousand; There are 5,000 soldiers under Pandi, and after deducting those who stayed in Changsha, there are only 3 or 4,000. Father, Qi thought that he should lead the crowd to conquer Jiangdong, and there should be no less than 20,000 people. ”

"Twenty thousand?"

"Exactly!"

Liu Qi knew that it was impossible to lead an army of 20,000 to Jiangdong, but he also knew that if he didn't ask for this, he would get even fewer soldiers and horses. Just like bargaining for groceries, these soldiers and horses have to try their best to win over.

Cai Mao sneered and said: "The eldest prince led an army of 20,000 to conquer Jiangdong, I am afraid that Cao Mengde will laugh, and the next day he will send a large army south to conquer Jingzhou." ”

Liu Biao frowned again and said, "Twenty thousand troops are too much, and one or two need to be reduced." ”

"Ming Gong~"

When Kuai Yue opened his mouth, he was caught by Liu Bei, interrupted him, and said: "Envoy, now Jiangxia has won the victory over Sun Quan, and Huo will go to Xiangyang to report on his work when he joins the army." It is better to wait for Huo to join the army to Xiangyang, so that Jun can ask how many soldiers and horses he needs to transfer. ”

Huo Jun's reputation in Xiangyang is quite large, not only did he perform well in Xiangyang before, but more importantly, he predicted success, and expected Sun Quan to attack Jiangxia's strategic move. At the same time, he also suggested that there was merit and defeat the Jiangdong Naval Division. For a while, his reputation in Xiangyang was very loud, and he was no longer a small role that needed to be touted by friends in the past.

Liu Biao bowed slightly, and said: "What Xuande said is not unreasonable, and wait for Zhong Miao to return to Xiangyang to report on his work, and then discuss the matter of sending troops!" ”

"No!"
