Xiaoguangong

Chapter 171 Gathering to Wancheng

After the discussion, Guan Ping ordered Liu Ba to temporarily guard Jiangling, and left almost all of his army to Liu Ba. He only brought Sima Fu, Cao Zhi and other 1000 people to the north, and ordered everyone to obey Liu Ba's orders to ensure the safety of Jiangling.

Liu Ba had never admired any warriors before, only Yun Shan's heart touched him inexplicably.

He was sent all the way to the pier, Guan Ping solemnly reiterated the policy of "respecting Liu Bei in the south, rejecting Sun Quan in the east", and then drifted away, leading the crowd to join Cao Cao.

After everyone left, Liu Ba bowed to the side of the pier and slowly got up after a long time.

General Yun entrusts each other with state affairs, so I naturally have to work hard.

He hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly wrote letters to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to show his affection. In the letters, he said that he was loyal to the great man, but he already believed that Prime Minister Cao was the master.

In the future, he will try his best to welcome them to do business. If there is an attack, Jiang Ling will stick to it to the end. It will not be a good thing for everyone.

Liu Bei did not reply, but Zhuge Liang replied with a letter, in which he thanked Liu Ba for his care, and also said that he would always be Liu Ba's home, and Liu Ba could come back at any time.

Liu Ba sneered, and casually threw Zhuge Liang's letter aside.

A certain heart is as hard as a stone, how can you Zhuge villager can be shaken by a few words?It's ridiculous.

Guan Ping led the crowd to Xiangyang quickly, but this time Le Jin did not go out of the city to greet him.

Both Cao Zhi and Sima Fu frowned, thinking that the friendship between Le Jin and Yun Shan had faded after not seeing him for a long time, and seeing Yun Shan's continuous promotion, Le Jin wanted to beat his little brother.

But Guan Ping is very determined, saying that Le Jin will always be my big brother.

The three of them hurried into the city under the protection of the guards, and saw that the Xiangyang city gate suddenly opened wide, a fast horse galloped out of it, and an old man with frosty temples and a long beard in a Confucian robe galloped out quickly. .

Guan Ping and the others subconsciously stepped aside, but unexpectedly the old man shouted excitedly:
"My dear brother! My dear brother! I want to kill Brother Yu!"

Yue Jin? !
Now everyone's eyes are straight.

Le Jin, who usually wears a military robe, has completely abandoned his previous attire.

He was dressed in a plain silk Confucian robe, with loose long hair, even incense and powder, and a wine jug hanging on his waist. He looked like a frivolous old scribe. Fortunately, Guan Ping's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, so he helped him stabilize.

In just half a year, Le Jin has gained a lot of weight.

He wandered around with a group of Xiangyang nobles these days, and his body was gradually hollowed out by wine and sex. At the age of 50, his temples were as white as snow, and he was no longer the warrior he used to be—but Le Jin actually felt his body shake He has become much lighter. He has enlightened and meditated in the mountains and fields, and his old injuries have healed a lot. If he maintains this attitude towards life, it is possible to live to a hundred years old.

Today he was sitting quietly with a group of scribes to enlighten the Tao again. When he heard that Yunshan was coming, he threw away everything and rushed over excitedly. Ma Liang followed behind and kept winking at Yunshan, obviously very satisfied with his method of reforming Lejin.

If Cao Cao knew what Le Jin looked like now, he would be too shocked to speak, and then he would rush to get Le Jin away.

Ke Lejin didn't feel anything wrong at all, he held Guan Ping's palm tightly, and said softly:
"Why are you free to visit me today?

Hehe, come, come, play chess and drink with me! "

Guan Ping clasped his fists and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty doesn't know that Master Zihuan is about to wipe out the bandits in Wancheng, so he asked me to help in the battle."

"Ah?" Le Jin was taken aback, "You want this kind of thing? What kind of thief actually hit Wancheng?"

It has to be said that Le Jin, who is the shepherd of Jingzhou, has not paid attention to the news of Jingzhou for a long time. Normally, Ma Liang and the others would never talk to him about this. He only became nervous when he heard Guan Ping say this.

But Ma Liang laughed immediately;
"It was Huo Jun who gathered hundreds of thieves to make trouble near Feishui, but was defeated by Zihuan and fled to Wancheng.

Now Mr. Zihuan is going to gather a large army to wipe them out, but his troops are weak, so he asked General Yun and General Cai to send troops at the same time. "

"Nonsense." After all, Le Jin had fought battles all his life, and his military skills were still there. He heard that Cao Pi had made his own decision and asked Yun Shan and Cai Mao to send troops, and his face was filled with displeasure.

"Zihuan's young mind wants to make meritorious deeds, so it's easy to talk about it.

It's just that both Tanzhi and Degui are important ministers of the country, how can they be allowed to dispatch them at will?This is very wrong. "

Guan Ping smiled bitterly and said:
"I also think it's not right, so I came to Xiangyang first to ask the general for instructions. If the general thinks that his subordinate Meng Lang..."

"Hey, what does it have to do with you?" Le Jin waved his hand and asked Ma Liang, "What does Ji Chang think?"

Ma Liang smiled and said:
"It's all here, if the general refuses to let Tan Zhi send troops, with Zihuan's temper, I'm afraid the general will be blamed.

Before Xiahoudun's side... Hehe, the general also knew that if something happened to Zihuan's son Meng Lang, Xiahoudun would probably seek the general's bad luck again. "

"Hmph, that blind Xiahou!"

Speaking of which, Le Jin was somewhat afraid of Xiahou Dun, after thinking about it, he still snorted heavily:
"Forget it, just help Zihuan once.

What happened to Wen?After a lifetime of fighting, it turned out to be like this. "

Guan Ping smiled and said:
"If they were all as brave and good at fighting as the general, the world would have been at peace long ago. The general can't expect others to be like himself."

Guan Ping's flattery was just right, Le Jin couldn't help laughing:
"Frankly, you are also the prefect now, and you are also the general in charge of one side, don't always be flattering, do you think you will be happy with this?
Wrong, I will use you, but use your ability! "

That being said, Le Jin still immediately ordered Ma Liang to make up an order to send troops. Even if Le Jin ordered Yunshan to reinforce Cao Pi, otherwise Cao Pi would be able to mobilize the army at will. It would be a trivial matter to cause him disaster and affect Le Jin's reputation. That's the big deal.

Guan Ping won the leader of Le Jin, and thanked Le Jin with joy.

Le Jin asked him to go to the city, but Guan Ping quickly shook his head to express his refusal.

"Your subordinates only know about wars. Now that the state is at stake, I don't want to affect the general's reputation. I ask the general to forgive me.

Wait until the thieves are calmed down, and then report to the general. "

"Hahaha, you are still the same."

Yunshan was like this before, Le Jin was very happy in his heart, and he didn't continue to stop him now. With a capable subordinate like Yunshan fighting for him, Le Jin was not a fool, so he naturally wanted to support him with all his strength.

The greater the contribution of Le Jin, the greater the contribution of this Bole.

The day of being a general is just around the corner.

·
Guan Ping crossed the river smoothly and joined Cai Mao outside Fancheng.

In theory, Guan Ping was still Xiahou Dun's confidant, and Fancheng was another Guan Ping's residence besides Jiangling. Cai Mao didn't want to attract Xiahou Dun's attention, so he had been stationed in Deng County.

When the two met, Cai Mao quickly got to the point.

"Nephew, how do we fight this battle?"

"Listen to uncle."

"Get out." Cai Mao pretended to be angry, but couldn't help showing a hint of complacency in his eyes, "Quickly tell me, what does my niece and son-in-law say?"

Guan Ping got Jiangling, which made it easier for him to communicate with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. He could almost receive instructions directly. Cai Mao did not believe that Guan Ping did not ask Liu Bei for instructions during his expedition.

Guan Ping nodded, walked aside with Cai Mao, and said in a low voice:
"My lord is planning to stay in Jiangling for a year, and will take Yizhou next year."

"Oh, to seize Jiangling?"

To take Yizhou, you have to take the Yangtze River, and of course you have to formally control Jiangling to take the Yangtze River. This makes Cai Mao very happy——Liu Bei took Yizhou, and it seems that he can spend several more years in Nanyang, which is enough for him to accumulate a huge sum of money Wealth, after Liu Bei's Northern Expedition succeeds, it is not impossible for him to become a rich man.

"I have a big event here, and I ask my uncle to help me."

"Nephew, please be polite, just say it."

"The military adviser said that Chen Qun would be back in a month or two, and he would ask my uncle to criticize me.

This matter is very important, and I ask my uncle to help me. "

"Ah, why are you criticizing you? Are you saying that you are Guan Ping?"

Guan Ping nodded, and told Cai Mao about Zhuge Liang's plan in a low voice.

The more Cai Mao listened, the more his brows were furrowed, beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.

"I, my niece and son-in-law... are really not ordinary people."

He swallowed quite painfully:
"This is to use you to death."

Guan Ping laughed and said:

"A strategist is the same to everyone, including himself.

As long as we have the ability, we will use it to death. We have long been used to it. "

Cai Mao smiled bitterly and said:
"Speaking of which, Xuande and I are also life-and-death friends. Is it still too late to help the Han Dynasty?"
