Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 786 Be famous, you need to be early

The place of fish belly is also famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms.After Liu Bei defeated Wu and was burned by Lu Xun, he retreated all the way to this place.

When they retreated here, Wu's army finally stopped pursuing, and Liu Bei, who was physically and mentally exhausted, also realized how wrong his strategy of defeating Wu was.As a result, in the midst of his illness, he lost his ambition for the Central Plains and changed Yufu County to Yong'an, hoping that his foundation would be stable forever.Moreover, he was still in Baidi City, where the historians have been discussing the matter of entrusting Gu.

Back in this time and space, the battle that took place here also puzzled Zhuge Liang.He carefully read the contents of the battle report, his brows became more and more frowned, and finally he couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Your Majesty... there is something very strange about this battle."

"Of course it's strange, do you really think that I dare to leave the land of Shuchuan without much preparation?" Liu Xie took out the battle report from Zhuge Liang, and couldn't help savoring it carefully, with an enigmatic smile on his face .

The content of the battle report is very detailed. The first thing to introduce is Liu Zhang's defense against the Han Dynasty East Road Army.Everyone in Yizhou also knew that the army of the Eastern Route was their biggest threat. Therefore, when the Han army was busy building ships downstream, they were not idle, and even built a Maginot line of amphibious three-dimensional defense upstream.

First of all, on the surface of the river, the Shu army spared no effort to block the entire Yangtze River with a pontoon bridge, and added triple wooden fences on the pontoon bridge to make it stronger.Not to mention, the most terrifying thing is that along the banks of the river, Yan Yan, another real famous general in Yizhou, actually "Jiajiang cannons"-of course, there is no gunpowder in this era, and the "cannons" are stone cannons , is a catapult fixed to the ground.But no matter whether it is stone or explosives, it is very inhumane, right? !

But even more inhumane is the old fox Jia Xu.The old man lost even the basic standard of being a man in the offensive and defensive command of the section of the pontoon bridge outside the city of Yubu. It was the same as the Chino line of defense, it was completely over before even a single shot was fired.

It is said that the old fox just walked around the river, and found that the strongest point of the defense line was the waterway, whether it was a pontoon bridge or a stone cannon, everything was to prevent warships from the Han Dynasty.

Of course there is nothing wrong with this. Who told this to be by the Yangtze River?And the army of the Han Dynasty really came by boat.

But Jia Xu let his soldiers abandon their boats and disembark at a distance of 800 miles from the pontoon bridge in the dark night, and then those with horses got on their horses, and those without horses stepped on their legs. Passed over... I don't know how Yan Yan, who was guarding the edge of the defense line, was dumbfounded at that time. Anyway, when Gan Ning's [-] Jinfan thieves broke into his camp, it was too late for Yan Yan to do anything.

After killing people, capturing Yan Yan, destroying the bridge, and re-boarding the Han soldiers, the Yubel City, the easternmost defense line of Yizhou, is within sight.

The general who defended the city was captured by the Han army outside the city, and the soldiers in the city naturally lost much fighting spirit.What's even more ridiculous is that Wu Ban, the deputy general who defended the city, even gave up defending the city.When the Han army approached the city, they resolutely refused to allow the enemy to show off their might.

He suggested that while the Han army was exhausted from afar and had just fought a battle on the pontoon bridge ahead, he rushed out of the city and defeated the arrogant Han soldiers in one fell swoop!

He said so, and he did so.However, as soon as he left the city, when he fought with Tai Shici, the general of the Han Dynasty, he was captured by Tai Shici with two moves.Immediately afterwards, those private soldiers of the Yizhou clan who had no fighting spirit in the first place disarmed and surrendered one by one.

In this battle, if Yan Yan's previous actions were careless, Wu Ban's actions later on seemed as stupid as delivering food to the Han army.

But is Wu Ban really that stupid?Or is he just a young man who is passionate, impulsive, unrestrained and free?

"This Wu Ban is the son of Wu Kuang, not to mention that he came from a famous man, but at least he has studied military books and war strategies. Facing the Han army that has won a complete victory and has high morale, how could he not know the reason to avoid the edge? What's more, he was captured alive after two battles with Taishi Ziyi, isn't this too coincidental?"

"Of course it can't be a coincidence." Liu Xie closed his eyes and thought for a while. To make Zhuge Liang look sideways at the Han Dynasty, he might have to show some real cards. Brother, and Wu Yi has always been a neutral faction during the civil strife in Yizhou. Moreover, as a native of Chenliu County, although their Wu family has quickly gained a foothold in Yizhou for more than ten years, but among those Yizhou aristocratic families In their eyes, they still belong to outsiders..."

"So, Your Majesty has already contacted the Wu family in private?" Zhuge Liang was so smart that he immediately understood the deep meaning of Liu Xie's words.But then, he became even more puzzled: "I also heard that Jinyiwei is spread all over the world, and they are even more unpredictable. However, the Wu family is currently rooted in Yizhou. I feel that I still need a lot of internal help... And the only Yizhou envoy that His Majesty has come into contact with is Zhang Song, can it be said?..."

"That's right, you have to do a full set of acting. If Zhang Song is not allowed to be humiliated here, how can Liu Zhang trust him?" At this moment, Liu Xie finally lifted his cards completely, and said with a mysterious smile: "He, Liu Zhang, is far away. I don't know how many people admire the Han family. I don't know, those people are eager to use Liu Zhang, a fool, as a scapegoat for the benefit of their own clan in Yizhou."

Once the answer to the mystery was revealed, Zhuge Liang's expression darkened completely: he was indeed resourceful, but after all, he lived in seclusion in this thatched hut, and the news he came into contact with could only be hearsay and well-known versions.Even if he can analyze and organize the news in a nutshell, he can have a rough judgment on the whole world.But it's a pity that he was not in the game, so he couldn't understand the inside story of politics and the influence of the entangled wealthy family secretly on the situation.

"Xiao Liang, I know that you want to be a hermit who is independent from the outside world and looks at the world. Unfortunately, this hermit will never become the mainstream of the times. Whether it is seeking the country or seeking life, there are three realms. Seeing mountains is the same as mountains. At that time, it is far from getting started; when you see mountains are not mountains, you belong to this stage; but only after going through these two stages, can you return to the basics, finally see mountains or mountains, and truly understand the world." Liu Xie's mouth curled up, When the opening of the hole card had a certain impact on Zhuge Liang, he took the initiative to lure Zhuge Liang.

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang not only showed a pensive look, but directly lay down on the bed wearily: "Anyway, your Han Dynasty is full of talents now, and the imperial examination last year recruited many talented people from all over the world. , why do you still fall in love with me, this stubborn stone?"

Liu Xie blinked, he couldn't figure out why Zhuge Liang refused his offer at this moment.Although he didn't visit the thatched cottage as much as Liu Bei did, but his own status was also much stronger than Liu Bei's?
So Liu Xie, who was not reconciled, said again: "Xiao Liang, have you ever heard of a famous saying?"

"Huh?" Xiao Zhuge turned over, at least he seemed not bored with Liu Xie.

"Be famous as early as possible." Liu Xie raised his finger and used fame and fortune to lure Zhuge Liang: "You and Fengchu are two banners created by Mr. Shui Jing painstakingly. It will also be mentioned in the history books. This is the same as an exam, your classmates have answered the general questions, and you haven't written yet... No, it seems that there are no exams in this era..."

"Who said there is no?" Zhuge Liang looked down on Liu Xie's ignorance, and pointed out: "When the emperor was filial piety, Zuo Xiong, the Shangshu, wrote a letter to reform the inspection system, and re-examination with Duanmen to test the falsehood of filial piety and honesty. This exam has long been known. Of."

Liu Xie rolled his eyes, and after careful recollection, he found that this was indeed the case, and he waved his hands embarrassingly to cover it up: "Don't care about these details, what I mean is that you are willing to watch Pang Tong make contributions in Xichuan, and your But Wolong can only lie down here in Nanyang?"

"Long dive into the abyss, waiting for the right time." Zhuge Liang pouted, still not paying attention to Liu Xie: "What's more, I am still young, and family and country affairs are very laborious. I don't want to do my best for your Han family. What's the use of dying and leaving only one person to last forever?..."

Liu Xie's eyes widened immediately, not because Zhuge Liang had said the phrase "devotion to death and death" decades in advance, but because this person who did this in history did not want to do this all the time. ?

Did history make a mistake, or was Zhuge Liang also transmigrated?
