Chapter Eighty-Five: Don't You Know Soldiers? [Seeking to follow-up]

It was not only Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, who was shocked.

Zhuge Liang on the left side of the hall, Fa Zheng couldn't help but glance at each other deeply, his face solemn.

"Jingzhou is now in peace?"

After pondering for a moment, General Zhuge Liang quickly stood up and asked with a serious look.

"General Huo had just entered the city when he came down, and I don't know what the current situation in Jingzhou is."

Just as the scout was truthfully replying, another scout hurried in, knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice:

"King Yu, General Huo has already controlled Nanjun Taishou, and together with General An Han, he set up an ambush in the city to lure Lu Meng to lead his troops to take over Jiangling."

"LΓΌ Meng was defeated, and then led the follow-up main force to attack the city, General Huo recruited Cao soldiers to defend the city and defeated the Wu people, and now LΓΌ Meng has retreated to the riverside to camp and confront."

"Gangneung City is out of danger for the time being."

A sentence of words fell loudly.

After hearing this, Liu Bei's expression was quite uncertain, as if he was happy that Jiangling was safe, and he was also sad that Mi Fang wanted to surrender to Jiangdong because it was a fact.

"Now Mi Zi Zhong is guarding in Jiangling, and I want to be able to restrain Mi Zifang, please relax, the king."

Zhuge Liang from the side held a goose feather fan, and his face revealed a pair of deep and calm eyes, and he said with relief.

"The military advisor is right, now it is necessary to ensure the safety of Jingzhou, and the matter of the sub-party will be decided after retreating from the enemy!"

Hearing this, a trace of solemnity flashed on Liu Bei's face, and he said happily: "It's simply that Shao Xian had the foresight and foresight to recover Zizhong and go to Jiangling, otherwise I am afraid it will be too late when the news reaches Chengdu." ”

When these words fell, everyone in the hall nodded slightly.

This is indeed good, there are many mountains between the state capital Jiangling and Shuzhong, and it is not easy for the two places to keep in touch with each other.

Usually the envoys who come and go between the two places come and go, and about two months have passed.

"Hyozhi, what are you thinking?"

Suddenly, Liu Bei suddenly noticed a melancholy look on Fa Zheng's eyebrows on one side, his eyes were locked, and he was silent, so he quickly asked.

As soon as these words came out, a pair of deep and somewhat sharp eyes in Fa Zheng's thin face stared at him tightly, and he suddenly arched his hand to Liu Bei and said loudly:

"The king, I am worried about the safety of Jingzhou."

"Huh? What does filial piety mean? Didn't the scout just say that Shao Xian defeated Lu Meng several times, repelled the offensive of the Wu army, and protected Jiangling without losing it? ”

When Liu Bei heard the news, there was also a little suspicion between his eyebrows, and he asked.

"It was precisely because of the repulsion of the Wu army that I was worried."

When the words fell, Fa Zheng paused and responded solemnly:

"According to the military information reported back earlier, General Guan is raising the main force to attack Xiangfan in the north, and Jiangdong is picking this time to sneak attack the rear of Jingzhou."

"If what is expected is good, Sun Quan must have secretly sent someone to contact the Cao family."

"The total number of the main forces in Jingzhou is only more than 35,000 people, and I heard that Cao Cao has returned to Luoyang from Chang'an at this time."

"I am worried about Cao and Sun Heli, Cao Thief will definitely reorganize his troops to the south to reinforce Fancheng, if Cao Jun will contain most of General Guan's army in the front line of Xiangfan and not let him return to the rear."

"Under the endless increase of troops in Jiangdong, I am afraid that even if there is a defense of Huo Yi and General An Han, it will be difficult to resist."

As soon as these words were spit out, Liu Bei's expression suddenly became serious, "What Xiaozhi said is very true, Lone must recruit reinforcements as soon as possible to go east to defend Jingzhou." ”

After saying that, his face changed greatly, and he slammed his fist on the case, and shouted: "If Yun Chang is wrong, Gu will never easily forgive Sun Quan Xiao'er!" ”

"The king is angry, and Liang personally leads the army to save Jingzhou."

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang's eyes moved slightly, his face was serious, and he quickly surrendered his hand and asked for his life.

"The military advisor shoulders the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the current situation in the court, and he can't leave easily, and he will convene the ministers early tomorrow morning to discuss the matter, and he will personally raise the army to the east to rescue Yun Chang."

Hearing about the crisis facing Jingzhou, Liu Bei's eyebrows were worried at this time, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

Wait for the next morning, just in the morning.

The sun rose slowly, and through the light mist, its light appeared soft and hazy, with a golden halo around the edges, as if Mother Earth had dressed it in a golden garment.

As the sun rose, the fog cleared and its light became brighter and brighter, but it remained warm and soft.

And at this time in the palace lobby.

The civil and military ministers had already been summoned, and each of them wore official official uniforms to the court, waiting for the left and right sides to stand.

On the left side is headed by the military general Zhuge Liang, and on the right is Ma Chao, the head of the military generals from the official to the left general.

"See the King!"

Seeing that Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, was already wearing a royal robe and living on the throne, the civil and military ministers each bowed and worshipped.

"Gentlemen,"

"King Xie."

After the monarchs and ministers each saluted, Huang Quan, who was not yet aware of the situation in Jingzhou, went out first and asked: "King, what is the important matter to discuss with the ministers and others today?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei, who was at the top, spit out loudly with anger:

"Gu received battle reports from Jingzhou one after another, saying that the Jiangdong Sun clan took advantage of Yunchang's army to raise troops to attack the rear of Jingzhou in the northern expedition to Xiangfan."

"Fortunately, Mi Zizhong and Huo Yi, the son of Zhong Miao, worked together to retreat from the Wu army and temporarily protect Jiangling."

"Most of the people who want to go to Jingzhou in person to crusade against the Sun family."

Words spit out.

When the ministers saw their own king's angry look, their faces changed slightly for a while, and they discussed in private.

"What? Jiangdong attacked Jingzhou again? ”

"Then what is the situation in the counties of Jingzhou now?"

"King, please also allow the last general to lead a piece to aid Jingzhou."

A few words.

The civil and military people from Jingzhou were the most excited this time.

Among them, Fu Wei, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi and other generals were even more indignant, and they all surrendered their hands to fight.

Liu Bei glanced at both sides, and saw that the old generals of Jingzhou knew that the military spirit was available, and a little joy appeared in his heart, and he pretended to be indifferent on his face, and waved his hand:

"Everyone, at present, Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling County are still under the control of our army, and they have not been lost for the time being, so I want to personally rush to help Jingzhou in the war."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Bei was not a procrastinator, and decisively stated his meaning.

Who expected to be engaged in Huang Quan in the governance, and Yang Hong, the Taishou of Shu County, and other ministers admonished one after another:

"The king, do you want to conquer in person?"

"Yes!"

"Sun Quan Xiao'er attacked my Jingzhou three times and twice, the so-called tolerable is unbearable, and I must teach this person a good lesson."

Liu Bei's face was fierce and shouted.

"No, my lord."

Shu County Taishou Yang Hong inquired, and hurriedly gave up his hand to dissuade him.

"What? Don't you know the soldiers? ”

Liu Bei looked displeased and shouted loudly.

As soon as these words fell, Yang Hong looked serious and arched his hand: "No, the king misunderstood the minister's meaning." ”

"The minister is worried that if the king leaves Shuzhong, the Cao clan will invade Hanzhong County again."

As soon as these words fell, Huang Quan, who was engaged in the governance of the side, also quickly echoed:

"What Yang Taishou said is not unreasonable, when the king personally rushed to the aid of Jingzhou a few years ago, then Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to invade Hanzhong, causing our army to return in time and let Cao's army seize the land of Hanzhong in advance."

When these words fell, more and more ministers in the palace echoed one after another.

Everyone understands very well that the 20-year Jingzhou War in Jian'an was due to Liu Bei's personal reinforcements, which led to Hanzhong being obtained by Cao Cao, and then he took it back although he sent troops in a big way.

But the two years of fierce war in Hanzhong almost exhausted the heritage of Shuzhong.

On the contrary, most of the population of Hanzhong County had already migrated to the Guanlong line for the Cao family.

With the lessons of the past, the ministers naturally did not want their kings to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"This ......"

Liu Bei looked at most of the ministers in the palace to dissuade him, and he couldn't help but look at it for a while, and thought deeply.
