Chapter 84: Sima Bada
Zhou Yu didn't expect that even Liu Bei would have such a shameless side, and he was suddenly asked for a while.
The Grand Governor took two deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his heart, knowing that he had more important things to do.
"General Liu, the matter has come to this, we don't want to dwell on the gains and losses of Jiangling City, I only have one thing to ask for, to guard the north gate for the alliance of our two families, I want to use the road to the west to attack Yizhou."
"Attacking Yizhou?"
Liu Bei rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Oh, since the Metropolitan Governor is here, let's stay for a meal, you may not know that my son-in-law Hongfei took out some food from the immortals, the taste is definitely something you have never tasted, I still have some left, so let the kitchen make it for the Governor to taste." ”
"No need, General Liu, I still have important business to do, not when it's time to eat, say goodbye first."
"Hey~ No, Governor Zhou, why are you in such a hurry, Yizhou can't be won in a day or two, Governor, Governor?"
Liu Bei pretended to chase two steps, and seeing Zhou Yu brushing his sleeves away, he sneered and said to himself: "If you don't eat and pull down, I think you just don't have that mouth." ”
Seeing Zhou Yu leave angrily, Zhuge Liang turned around from behind.
"Lord, it seems that something is not quite right with Gongjin this week."
"What does the military advisor think is wrong? Could it be ...... Is it fake that he went west to Yizhou, and is it true that he attacked our army in a sneak attack? ”
Zhuge Liang shook it lightly with a goose feather fan in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "No, I always feel that Zhou Yu seems to be a little anxious, it stands to reason that even if his city government loses Jiangling, he will not come to the door in person to question the lord, which is somewhat too unbearable." ”
"Could it be that you are angry with my good son-in-law? It's not so easy for anyone to accept. ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I always feel that it's not that simple, lord, we still sent a team of scouts to quietly follow behind them to check what Zhou Yu is anxious about this time." ”
"Okay, just according to the military advisor."
As Zhao Yun's team marched into Jiangling, after leaving enough defensive troops, Zhao Yun personally replaced five hundred soldiers and hurried to Xiangyang to support his brother, he was also worried that Zhao Yi would not have any accidents.
But when Zhao Yun arrived in Xiangyang City, he saw Zhao Yizheng's old god riding on a horse, commanding his own soldiers to sort out their baggage.
"Big brother, you're here, let's see what we can use here, and bring some souvenirs back for my sister-in-law."
Zhao Yun was a little dumbfounded, looked at the busy soldiers, and couldn't help asking, "Hongfei, where did these belongings come from?" We can't rob people. ”
"Big brother, what do you think of Hongfei? I'm not a bandit, these are all the wealthy families in Jingzhou who voluntarily donated to us as military salaries, including the Kuai family, the Cai family, and the Heng family, these three families have a solid background. ”
Zhao Yun turned around and asked a little puzzled: "Hongfei, where are the defenders of Xiangyang?" What about Cao Ren and Yu Ban? ”
Zhao Yi waved his hand casually and said: "All of them have run away, the little brother sees that this Cao Ren is just like this, it is just a vain name, the huge Xiangyang City can't even stand it for a day and runs away, I originally thought that there would be a hard battle, and I had to wait for the eldest brother to bring troops to help before I could take Xiangyang, who knew that it would be so easy." ”
"Ran away?"
Zhao Yun was also a little puzzled, that Cao Ren's combat command ability was honestly admired by him, plus with the assistance of generals such as Yu Ban and Zhang He, and there were 5,000 elite soldiers in the city, how could he abandon the city and flee?
Also, when he entered the city just now, how did the south gate of Xiangyang collapse so seriously? It was as if he had been smashed by ten catapults for a day and a night.
"Big brother, don't talk about that, we still have to strengthen our defense as soon as possible, now that you come, I can rest assured, we have to prevent that Cao Cao dog from jumping off the wall and fighting back wildly."
Speaking of business, Zhao Yun hurriedly gathered his mind and said: "Hongfei rest assured, the defense of Xiangyang will be handed over to Brother Wei, and I will arrange it." ”
"Okay, it's all up to Big Brother."
After Zhao Yun left, Zhao Yi continued to organize his belongings happily, but in the shadow of the corner of the building behind him, a voice flickered.
"I really didn't expect it, I just said to send you a Jiangling, you actually took Xiangyang City, I have seen more than one immortal disciple, but I have never met such a god as you."
As soon as the words fell, a petite figure walked out from the corner, it was the Night Raven of the Killing Courtyard.
Zhao Yi glanced at her, and said with a smile: "In any case, I still want to thank you for sending the information in a timely manner, now I have time to listen to your story, who are you?" What do you want me to do? ”
"General Zhao is quick to talk, so please come into the house and talk about it."
Night Raven spoke, and the back door of a nondescript house creaked open, and she stepped inside.
"Huh? Even Xiangyang has a safe house, which is mysterious enough. ”
"Zhonglang General, I'm afraid there is fraud."
Lu Lingqi said with some worry.
"It's okay, if she wanted to be unfavorable to me, she would have done it a long time ago, you stay outside and let me go in to meet her."
Zhao Yi turned over and dismounted, looking like he was grinning, but in fact, he was armed with his whole body, walked into the ordinary house, and closed the door with his backhand.
This small courtyard is very ordinary, with a ginkgo tree growing in the middle of the courtyard, and some golden leaves scattered on the ground, and there are few branches left.
Zhao Yi walked into the main room, the room was dimly lit, lit this candle, the petite black shadow knelt opposite a low table, and the vacant seat was obviously reserved for Zhao Yi.
Although he has been here for a long time, Zhao Yi is still not used to kneeling and sitting.
"It looks like it's time to spread my high chairs and high tables to more cities."
Zhao Yi sat there cross-legged with a smile on his face, staring directly at the night crow opposite.
Night Raven paused, reaching out to remove the black mask covering his face, revealing a petite and delicate face that made people's eyes shine.
"I knew you were a little girl, and I deliberately lowered my voice and pretended to be a man's voice, so I could hear your story."
Yes, the night crow on the opposite side is a woman, about twenty years old, with a pair of eyes that reflect the glimmer of the candle flame.
"I should call you General Zhonglang now, General Zhonglang guessed correctly, I am indeed a person from the Killing Courtyard, but you don't know, the Killing Courtyard has many members, the organization is complex, and it has been expanding and expanding in the hundreds of years since its establishment, and it has long lost its original control, and it has also lost the original intention of the Killing Courtyard when it was created.
When the Killing House was first founded, it took righteousness and killed oneself to become a benevolent person, sacrificing oneself to achieve the great self, but now it has developed into a killer organization that kills innocents indiscriminately for money and power, in any case, this is not what we want to see, our Shouxin faction has less and less power to speak in the Killing Academy, and the radical faction advocates uniting with the Tianxia Society, controlling the situation in the Central Plains, and supporting a puppet emperor to do whatever he wants.
Their ambitions are already the same as those of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, but they are not worthy of being used by the world, how can Sima Bada meet so well? They took themselves too seriously, and even ignored the tripartite restraint alliance set by the Tianxia Society, the Killing Courtyard, and the Immortal Building a hundred years ago. ”
Zhao Yi suddenly raised his hand when he heard this, and interjected: "Wait, interrupt, you said Sima Bada, they will have something to do with the world?" ”
Night Crow nodded lightly and said: "That's right, there are many wealthy families in the World Association, and the Sima family is one of them, and it occupies a pivotal role in the core circle of this World Conference.
The generation of the Sima family is full of talents and ambitions, and the eight children are all dragons and phoenixes, so they are also called 'Sima Bada'. ”
"I know this, is the leader called Sima Yi, the word Zhongda?"
"You actually know Sima Zhongda?"
Zhao Yi said with a smile: "I know, of course I know, who I should have been unable to get along with me behind my back, it turned out to be Sima Yi, it's strange, I, Zhao Yi and the Sima family, have no grievances in the past, and have no enemies recently, why are they dragging me to let go?" ”
