Not to mention that Huo Jun spent a day capturing Jingkou City. In the hinterland of Wuhui, Liu Bei and Liu Qi attacked very smoothly, and Yuhang, Qiantang, Yuqian and other counties were all in the pocket of the Jingzhou army.

After the troops entered Qiantang (Hangzhou), in order to prevent Huiji from sending troops to the north and attacking the belly and back of the army, Guan Yu led 5,000 troops to cross the Qiantang River and enter Shanyin, Shangyu and other places in Huiji County. Liu Bei went north to attack Wucheng, defeated Cheng Pu's department, took Wucheng, and approached Taihu Lake.

"Haha!"

Liu Bei sat on the couch, in a very happy mood, and said: "Jiang Qin and Cheng Pu have been defeated by our army in a row, and now the army is in Wucheng, and Sun Quan will be defeated in the near future!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei looked at Liu Qi again and said with a smile: "Bo Wei, if Sun Quan is defeated and Wu County is in the pocket of our army, then the six counties of Jiangzuo will all belong to Bo Wei." ”

Although Liu Qi was also smiling and happy, he held Liu Bei's hand and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Qi should not forget the words of the past." Qi Cai is shallow in learning, Jiang Zuo governs, and will rely on his uncle. ”

The two Liu looked at each other and smiled, which meant that they were unclear and confessed. Obviously, Liu Bei is reminding Liu Qi, I will help you get Jiangdong, and you don't forget to promise me. Liu Qi also understood it at one point, and told Liu Bei that he had not forgotten his promise.

Liu Bei held Liu Qi's hand and said, "After the war, Beitun Danyang should be used as a barrier to Jiangdong. ”

"Uncle Xie!" Liu Qi said gratefully: "In the future, the affairs of Jingzhou will depend on my uncle." ”

"Don't worry!"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Brother Jingsheng is not well prepared, and Bo Wei has a good relationship with me. How could he bear to see the foundation of Jingzhou fall into the hands of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, causing the traitors to make trouble. ”

Liu Qi counted the letters on the desk with his hand, and said indignantly: "If it weren't for Yi to write to Jiangdong, Qi Shang would have been kept in the dark by Cai's family. It is really hateful to secretly hide war reports, smear letters, and deceive my father. ”

After returning to Xiangyang last time, Liu Qi and Liu Bei deliberately let Yi stay in Xiangyang to pass on the interior of Xiangyang in order not to let their ears and eyes cover them.

Recently, a letter from Iraq has been sent from Xiangyang, explaining the changes that are taking place in Xiangyang. After Liu Qi left, Liu Biao's condition deteriorated, and he was sick on the couch, and Cai used his identity to intercept all the battle reports sent from Jiangdong and conceal the war situation in Jiangdong. It was also at that time that Cai Mao broke Liu Bei's winter uniform.

It wasn't until the great victory happened, and it happened that Liu Biao's condition improved, and he couldn't hide it before he presented the battle report. When Liu Biao learned that Danyang and Wanshui had won, Liu Qi and Liu Bei expressed him as a general of the chariot cavalry, and they were very happy, and personally handled the rewards of the soldiers, and allocated a large amount of money and grain to Jiangdong for the use of the labor army.

After the year, Liu Biao's condition became serious again, and the Cai family began to intercept news unfavorable to Liu Cong. Cai Mao took advantage of Liu Biao's position as a general of the Che Cavalry and became the military division of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion, completely mastering the defense of Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

The Iraqi nationality was excluded from the inner circle, and it was only after asking the people on the left and right that they heard about the content of this information. After receiving the information, the Iraqi immediately sent a letter to Koto.

"No hurry!"

Liu Bei comforted Liu Qi and said: "Although the matter in Jingzhou is serious, it is a long-term worry. At present, Sun Quan of Wu County is a close concern and has to be removed. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi looked forward to it and said: "Zhong Miao is still in Anhui City, doing that arrogant enemy's strategy, I don't know when I will be able to conquer Jingkou." Now that our army has arrived in Wucheng, we have won successive battles, I wonder if our army can take the lead in entering Wu County? Or wait for Zhong Miao to arrive, and the two armies will march in one. ”

In his tone, Liu Qi was mixed with a sense of helplessness.

Today, their army is almost reaching Sun Quan's hometown. The latest news that Liu Qi received from Wancheng, Huo Jun is still soaked in Wancheng, and he is tired of being with the foot trainer. Huo Jun belongs to his henchmen, and he is the core personnel who promote the Jiangdong strategy under the army, and he is slacking off in the military, which makes Liu Qi not know how to criticize.

Liu Bei pondered a little and said: "Jingkou is strong, there is a beacon tower for the police, and there are heavy guards, Kong Mingyan Zhongmiao is worried about this. From the perspective of reserve troops, even if Zhong Miao does not act as an arrogant enemy, it will be difficult to break through the Jingkou. And Zang Ba's troops went to Chaohu Lake, looking at the Lujiang River, even if Zhong Miao wanted to send troops, the rivers were thousands of miles apart, and it was easy for Zang Ba to take advantage of the void to enter. ”

It's not that Liu Bei said good things for Huo Jun, but that Huo Jun is facing a lot of difficulties. Anhui City is more than 1,000 miles away from Jingkou, and the huge dispatch of troops is easy to be detected by Zang Ba. Although Zang Ba is a small prince and recently surrendered to Cao Cao, it does not mean that Zang Ba is unwilling to take credit.

But if Huo Jun stayed under Jingkou City for a long time, Zang Ba would inevitably cross Chaohu Lake to attack the empty Lujiang River. Unless Huo Jun can take Jingkou before Zang Ba reacts, so as to integrate the forces of Jiangnan and Lujiang against the enemy.

It can only be said that thousands of miles rushed to attack Jingkou and took the beacon tower in one day, and this kind of command and operation was really too riotous. It's a pity that they are too far apart, and Liu Bei and Liu Qi don't know the battle situation on Huo Jun's side at all.

"What about my uncle?" Liu Qi asked.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and said: "Zhong Miao will be difficult to conquer Jingkou in the short term, if our army can defeat Wu County, Jingkou will also surrender without a fight." ”

"Yes!" Liu Qi got up and said goodbye, "In this case, Uncle Lao is tired of commanding the troops." ”

"Walk slowly!"

After Liu Qi left, Zhuge Liang walked out from behind the screen and sighed: "The eldest son has a generous temperament, which is rare in the world!" ”

"Bo Wei has a generous temperament and a style of benevolence and filial piety. Therefore, when Weishuo and Xianhe persuaded to seize the foundation of Bowei, they were prepared to be uneasy! ”

Liu Bei beckoned Zhuge Liang to sit down, sighed and said: "A certain person enters Xiangyang, he is famous, and Brother Jingsheng is afraid of him." Fortunately, Bo Wei trusted him, and went down to Jiangdong with Bei to help him break free from the cage and spread his wings. ”

"If you take it now, although you will get the foundation of Jiangdong, you will already be a believer. In the future, An will have the face to see Jingsheng's brother and son? ”

At the moment when the war was progressing smoothly, Liu Yan and Jian Yong proposed that after taking Wu County, Liu Bei would attack Liu Qi, seize the soldiers and horses in Liu Qi's hands, and occupy Jiangdong as the foundation.

But Liu Bei was reluctant to do it, so he rejected the proposal of the two of them on the grounds that he couldn't bear to take it. Liu Yan also said that he was worried that after taking Jiangdong, Liu Qi, who had a firm foothold, would turn his face and deny people, and strongly persuaded Liu Bei to think about it.

Liu Bei is not sure, and inviting Liu Qi to talk secretly today is to test Liu Qi. Today's words tested Liu Qi, but Liu Qi showed no signs of repentance, and he still treated each other sincerely, which made the suspicious Liu Bei feel deeply ashamed.

Zhuge Liang knelt on the couch, poured tea for Liu Bei, and said: "The lord is benevolent and righteous, and he is not comparable to Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan. Today, the eldest son does not change his deed and treats the lord with sincerity. For the sake of Cao Cao's army to go south, or the treacherous generation to divide the relationship, the lord should be friendly with the eldest son, so as not to let outsiders succeed. ”

In Zhuge Liang's opinion, if Liu Bei does not take away Liu Qi's foundation, then his relationship with Liu Qi should be more intimate next. After all, someone persuaded Liu Bei like this, and it is inevitable that no one persuaded Liu Qi like this.

Liu Bei took a sip of tea and said, "Although Bo Wei and I are not of the same clan, we have the same surname, and we can't do things that are good with our relatives." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "The lord and the eldest son have the same surname and are not married, but the two generals Guan and Zhang are brothers and sisters with the lord, isn't their daughter the daughter of the lord?" ”

"Liang Suwen has a daughter under General Guan's knees, and she has a ...... temperament."

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang didn't know how to praise Guan Yu's femininity, after all, a woman is like a father, but it's not very good.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhuge Liang said: "With a pure temperament and knowledge of poetry and Confucianism, it is also feasible to take the son of the eldest son as his wife." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei's face was quite strange, and he said: "The son of Bo Wei has a weak temperament, and with the daughter of Yun Chang, isn't it difficult for the family to be peaceful." And Yun Chang's daughter is still young, this is not suitable! ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked curiously, "Isn't Zhong Miao's words true?" ”

"All Zhong Miao is talking nonsense!"

Zhuge Liang was vague and vague, and said: "I am afraid that General Guan is unwilling to marry his eldest daughter to the son of the eldest son. ”

Liu Bei pondered for a long time and said: "If I open my mouth, Yun Chang will be willing, but I don't know what Bo Wei wants, and whether his son is married." ”

In fact, Zhuge Liang's suggestion made Liu Bei quite excited, and Liu Biao often suspected his bad intentions and worried that Liu Qi would be difficult to control. If Guan Yu's daughter is allowed to marry Liu Qi's son, and the relationship between Liu Qi and Guan Yu becomes closer, Liu Biao can also rest assured. And after Guan Yu pacified Jiangdong, he could also rely on Liu Qi's relationship to obtain an official position with real power.

After a pause, Liu Bei said: "The matter of marriage matching, you can wait to ask Yun Chang and Bo Wei about their intentions, and then discuss it deeply." Now the war is imminent, and the military first! ”

"Kong Ming, what if you want to lead the army deep into Kasawa?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang stroked the feather fan, frowned slightly and said: "Since our army entered Wuhui, all the counties have surrendered, and Cheng Pu and Jiang Qin have all been defeated. In terms of brightness, it was too smooth, and it was quite strange. ”

"For example, the second county of Wuhui is the place where Sun Quan is based, and now Sun Quan does not want to fight with our army, but gathers soldiers and horses around Kasawa. But Jiangdong is good at water warfare, and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's actions are normal. ”

Saying that, Zhuge Liang said worriedly: "The lord has conquered Wucheng, and he is only dozens of miles away from Kasawa, if he easily penetrates into Kasawa today, the enemy will attack Wucheng from Kasawa, and the rear road of our army will be cut off." In order to look at it, our army should be cautious, enter slowly, and watch the movements of Zhongmiao. After all, if the Zhong Miao Water Division does not enter Kasawa, it will be difficult for our army to break the Wu army. ”

Liu Bei also frowned and said, "Zhong Miao was overshadowed by Zang and was limited by Jingkou, how to solve it now?" ”

Spreading out the map, Zhuge Liang pointed at the map with a feather fan and said: "It's not as good as this, the lord marched northeast from Wucheng and marched to Qiucheng. Although Qiu City is dilapidated, but there is Benshan Mountain as a base, the lord camped around Qiu City, backed by the water and the lake, ordered people to explore Kasawa, and knew the depth of the Jiangdong Army. If Zhong Miao has to break through the Jingkou and enter the Dantu waterway, it can be accepted. ”

The feather fan pointed to Wucheng and Qiantang again, and Zhuge Liang said: "Wucheng, where our army's back road is, and credible people need to be stationed." Qiantang City is where our army's food and grass and baggage are, and it is also the place where our army and Yunchang are connected, so we ordered the general to defend it. ”

Listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei hugged his knees and asked, "Does Kong Ming have a candidate for a general?" ”

"Lord, you can order General Zilong to guard Wucheng and General Zhongye to guard Qiantang." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei bowed slightly, and asked thoughtfully, "Why is it so arranged?" ”

"General Zilong has a steady temperament, excellent martial arts, knows land warfare, and can guard Wucheng for the lord; General Zhongye is loyal and available, good at knowing military strategy, learning the law of water and land, and guarding the important land of Qiantang, he must be. Zhuge Liang analyzed.

Qiantang (now Hangzhou) is located on the edge of the Qiantang River, not far from the mouth of the sea. Boats can pass through the sea and go down the Qiantang River to the bottom of the city. Therefore, Qiantang belongs to the waterway, people who do not know the law of water warfare can not stick to it, looking at the army lieutenant generals and colonels, only the civil appointment is suitable.

"Good!"

Liu Bei patted the case and said: "That is, according to Kong Ming's arrangement." ”

"No!"
