Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 446
In the ninth year of Xiping, April

Tai Shici led the fleet and returned to the country of Japanese slaves. This time, he did not bring the luggage and talents, but brought a large force. After Liu Bei received the emperor's edict, he immediately summoned the entire Ning The counties and counties of the state, including some military brigades who stayed in Ningzhou, totaled tens of thousands, and followed Tai Shici to the Wonu Kingdom.

When this large number of troops disembarked from the ship, the entire Japanese island and the countries were in a state of panic all day long.

Liu Bei went to look for Liu Mo first, but unexpectedly, it was Xun You who came out to greet him. Xun You didn't seem to have thought that Liu Bei would come, and was a little surprised by his arrival. However, he hurriedly asked Gongsun Zan for help and made arrangements first. Compared with Xun You, Liu Bei was even more astonished.

What is going on here?

However, he remembered that when they met each other in the past, Xun You treated everyone very coldly. He never said a word to himself, let alone being so kind. He was a little flattered. After greeting , then talked about the purpose of his visit, and described the emperor's edict. Xun You nodded and said, "When I meet Liu Gong later, don't be in a daze, and don't look at his face for a long time."

Liu Bei frowned, thoughtfully, nodded, and thanked him again and again.

Walking into the palace, Liu Mo is processing the memorial on the case. He has already dispatched manpower to take over the territory of Weiwu and Yixie, and sent people to other countries to persuade them to surrender. , Yixie, the treatment of the three kingdoms of Duzhi, and the return of Yamatai, most of the countries expressed their submission, and did not dare to be arrogant and insult the Han envoy.

While he was busy, Liu Bei and Xun You came in together, and Liu Bei said, "Greetings, Mr. Liu!"

Hearing the sound, Liu Mo was overjoyed, turned his head quickly, walked up with a smile, and helped Liu Bei up. Liu Bei raised his head, his expression unchanged, and said, "I am following the emperor's edict, come to help me." Liu Mo asked him to sit down, and Xun You Yi Ran sat on the side, but Xun You was a little surprised. Liu Bei, after meeting Liu Mo, was not a little shocked, and his expression did not change.

Even if I had reminded him beforehand, such a reaction was still unbelievable.

Liu Mo chatted with Liu Bei again, and talked about a lot of trifles. Liu Bei was not troubled or impatient, and listened carefully, neither humble nor overbearing. Liu Mo just liked his appearance. In today's world, the only one who can listen to his own words like this is Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are gone, and most of the rest are unwilling, but because of their positions, they have no choice but to listen.

In the past, Emperor Xiaokang also listened to it in the same way, but it's a pity...it's not the case today.

The two chatted for a long time, and then Liu Bei said: "This time, Mr. Liu is the leader. The soldiers I brought are all under the orders of Mr. Liu." General Gongsun Zan is in charge, and you will go on a tour with the people you brought with you to the various countries in order to find out the whereabouts of the thieves and frighten the world. If there is any wrongdoing, you can deal with it yourself."

"By the way, General Huang, let's go too. If Xuande is not upset, let him command the army. I heard that Xuande doesn't know about military affairs? Does Xuande mind if I don't know?" Liu Momo asked sincerely, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I've never been in charge of an army, and with General Huang's help, I can't ask for it. I don't know if Mr. Liu has any other orders?"

Liu Mo shook his head, looked at Xun You, and asked, "Mr. Xun, what do you think?"

"I would like to obey Liu Gong's order."

"You don't want to be like this, your talent is my tenth, and I hope you can tell the truth."

"I think that it is not necessary to use the method of parade to directly order General Gongsun, General Huang, and General Xun to go to the various countries. It is enough to ask them to follow suit. Those who do not follow will be expelled from the country. Today's Wa Island has no one who can compete with the Han. If it has been delayed for a long time, it should be decided quickly. With the current military strength, if you live on Wa Island for a long time, it will consume a lot of supplies, so it is better to solve the big thing quickly."

Hearing what Xun You said, Liu Mo nodded, looked at Liu Bei, and said, "Just follow what Xun Jun said."

Xun You asked Da Chandu to accompany them to settle the matter of speech.

The next day, Liu Bei didn't stay long, and left the Wonu country directly. The sky was still dripping with light rain, hazy.

Gongsun Zan led his brave battalion, which looked mighty and extraordinary. Huang Zhong led the coalition forces of counties and counties under Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also followed. Before leaving, Xun You repeatedly asked that the countries must be completely shocked and let them lose their resistance. When Gongsun Zan heard all of his thoughts, he had a plan in his heart.

As for Huang Zhong, he didn't take part in anything. He was only in charge of the war. Liu Bei followed him. It was rare to have such an opportunity to march. Of course, Liu Bei didn't let it go. He asked Huang Zhong for advice on the march all the way. Including some war knowledge, although Huang Zhong was reticent, he did not refuse Liu Bei. After Liu Bei asked, he explained them one by one to solve his doubts.

Later, Gongsun Zan was also very interested in this and joined their conversation. Of course, Liu Bei had no right to speak. He could only listen to Gongsun Zan and Huang Zhong arguing. Gongsun Zan and Huang Zhong had completely opposite marching styles. , Huang Zhong believes that in combat, infantry should still be the main force, and in future battles, infantry can be equipped with a large number of horses.

After arriving at the battlefield, dismount and fight, because it is difficult for a horse to maintain its strength after charging, and it is not enough to fight for a long time, and it is very limited by the terrain. Besides, the bow and crossbow will definitely be strengthened in the future, and the role of cavalry will gradually decrease. Let the horse become a tool for transporting soldiers.

His remarks aroused Gongsun Zan's counterattack. Gongsun Zan said: "Your remarks are wrong. The advantage of cavalry lies in the speed of their movement and the speed of their offensive. Naturally, the physical strength of war horses has always been a problem. However, in Wu Huan, in the former Xianbei land, there are some pony horses, these horses are not afraid of the terrain, they can be fed with all kinds of food, and their physical strength is extremely good."

"As for bows and crossbows, after the development of bows and crossbows, cavalry equipped with bows and crossbows, running back and forth, shooting from a distance, who can resist?"

Neither of the two could convince the other, and they fought endlessly. Huang Zhong has always been calm, but when it came to military matters, he didn't maintain his demeanor. He argued with Gongsun Zan very roughly. Liu Bei was afraid that there would be conflicts between them, so he persuaded him to leave with a smile. He met the two of them and said, "You two have your own opinions. Why don't you write books? Today, there is a reading library in the world, which was built by the princes in the past."

"The works of great sages can be entered here, and after being copied, they can be viewed by the world. The two generals wrote books, firstly to teach the latecomers, and secondly, to see who's theory is more popular."

Both of them were thoughtful and stopped arguing.

However, after the dispute, the two of them did not alienate or have conflicts. On the contrary, their relationship became closer, which made Liu Bei a little confused.

When they arrived at the first small country, Gongsun Zan called the two of them over again, and he also called Da Zan over. Gongsun Zan asked straight to the point, "How can we deter them and make them return?"

Liu Bei said: "The general doesn't need to do much, just lead the army to go, garrison inside, and let the king go out to see him."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he shook his head and said what he was thinking. Hearing this, everyone was shocked, especially Liu Bei and Da Chandu, who shook their heads frantically and said, "That's impossible, General. I am afraid that there will be continuous fighting along the way, and it will be difficult to return quickly."

"It's okay, you don't need to care about the mere Japanese island countries!"

Gongsun Zan made his own decision.

After that, in the past two months, the group traveled all over the countries, and even Yamatai was not spared.

In July, they returned to the Wanu country.

Immediately, soldiers came in to tell Liu Mo and Xun You that General Gongsun had returned!

Liu Mo and Xun You were overjoyed. Seeing the strange look on the soldiers' faces, Xun You asked again, "What's wrong? Are the generals all right?" The soldier looked a bit embarrassed, and said, "It's still all right...just ", Xun You and Liu Mo looked at each other with solemn expressions, and hurried out of the gate to meet them at the city gate. When they arrived at the city gate, Tai Shici was also there.

Just looking at it, they were stunned and could not speak for a long time.

I saw Gongsun Zan and his party walking at the front safe and sound, but behind them, there was a long queue, with nearly 400 people walking behind them, their hands tied with ropes. Their heads were gray and their faces were gray. However, it could be seen from their clothes that they were all very ordinary. Seeing these people, Xun You seemed to understand something.

Gongsun Zan came up with a big smile, greeted the two of them, and said, "This time, the number of staff has not been reduced, and there are more." He pointed to the people behind, and said, "I'm stupid, and I don't know how to intimidate them. The kings and kings of Wa Island are all bound and bound, and it is better for Mr. Xun to do the deterrent thing, I am really not good at it."

Tai Shici stared blankly at the group of people, but thought in his heart:

You are not good at being a birdie, you have tied them here, what is the shock?
Gongsun Zan was extremely happy in his heart. Who said that the brave battalion is not good at fighting? Look, we captured hundreds of monarchs in this expedition, and we didn't lose a single one. With such a strong record, who can we compare to us throughout the ages?

Xun You winked at him, Gongsun Zan was taken aback, but before he could react, Xun You shouted angrily: "How can you be so rude to the lords? Why don't you release him quickly!" After he finished speaking, Gongsun Zan Only then did he wake up, and left here a little unhappy, ignoring him, Xun You went to the end, asked the soldiers to release these people, and looked at Dazhangdu again.

"Apologize on my behalf, let them enter the city, and I will arrange the mansion, so that people can take care of them and stabilize them"

Dazhang nodded and spoke to the princes again, and the soldiers untied them one by one. At this time, these despairing princes got up, bowed to Xun You, and After saying a few words, Xun You looked at Da Chandu, and Da Chandu said, "They are thanking you for your great kindness, and also begging you not to punish General Gongsun Zan."

"Oh? Why do they respect General Gongsun Zan so much?"

"We have always been like this, respecting the strong," Da Chan said with some embarrassment.

Xun You nodded, then smiled, and brought these princes back to the royal city. Liu Mo never saw them again. His work was considered complete. He is not the Prime Minister of the Wa Kingdom, and he does not have any official status here. His original mission was to get all countries to recognize Liu An's co-owner status, so that Xun You could reasonably intervene in the affairs of various places, so as to rectify and promote civilization.

In this way, the kings of all countries have been tied up here, and even among the crowd, he can still see Susanoo who has long surrendered. He stands at the end helplessly, and he is the only one who has not been tied up. After the work was completed, no one dared to recognize Liu An's status anymore, and the rest of the work could be left to Xun You.

He and Huang Zhong walked towards the mansion together.

Huang Zhong asked, "When shall we go back?"

"You're still thinking about that famous doctor, don't worry. We'll be back in just a few days."

"My son wrote me a letter. When I was in Dongyi, a postman came to deliver it to me." Huang Zhong had a rare smile on his face, and he took out a blood-stained letter from his arms. , smiled and said: "Look, how can my son learn?"

Liu Mo took the letter, read it carefully, and said with a smile: "This word is much better than what you wrote. The allusions in the whole text are not bad, not bad, and have the qualifications of Sangong!" Huang Zhong heard, Although there are no words, the mood is still very good.

"I don't ask my son to be a Sangong, I just want to be safe. When I return this time, I will definitely find that famous doctor"

"You can rest assured, I will help, and Mr. Xun, his family is powerful, you can still let him help"

"I don't want to owe favors."

"No problem, I'll go for you, and General Chaozhong Yuan, these two are willing to help each other, this famous doctor will definitely be found."

The two were chatting, and within a few days, after Xun You had a cordial conversation with these princes, things on Wa Island gradually settled down, and these princes also recognized Liu An's status, and they also decided to stay For a period of time, the Wa Nu Kingdom was protected from being attacked by thieves outside, and Xun You had no one to use, so he asked Liu Bei for help, and then the entire Wa Island was stabilized.

Even so, he still has a lot of things to do. If he wants to integrate Wa Island and make Liu An worthy of his name, he will probably be busy for several years. Of course, it depends on how Xun You will do it.

After completing the work here, Liu Mo said goodbye and left, only taking Huang Zhong with him. The rest of the generals, who were originally the generals who guarded Ningzhou, followed Liu Bei to guard Wa Island and helped Xun You, so they could not return. Everyone sent them off in person, especially Zhao Yun and others, who bid farewell to Liu Mo repeatedly. During these days together, they got very close to this timid but not cowardly Mr. Liu in their hearts.

After taking a big boat and leaving Wa Island, they encountered extremely abnormal weather. From the country of Wa Nu to Dongyi, the rain has never stopped, especially in Dongyi, where the rain has flooded a lot of crops Fortunately, there were no casualties. However, in Youzhou and Bingzhou, affected by the abnormal weather, floods occurred in many areas.

In Youzhou, the Wuhuan water surged, causing disasters in the counties.

In Bingzhou, the Qinshui surged, and the counties were affected.

Yuyang, Jinyang and other areas were hit hardest.

When they arrived in Yuyang, the speed of Liu Mo and others was greatly affected. In addition, the most annoying thing was Tao Qian, the governor of Youzhou, who was transferred to Xuzhou. Yuan Shao, the new governor of Youzhou, was still on the way. He didn't have the ability to urge the counties to start regulating the river together, causing serious disasters in the surrounding area. In addition to Wuhuan River, some areas near the coast also suffered catastrophe.
