Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269 It's Totally Messed Up

"Your Majesty, the situation is urgent now, and I would like to have some superficial opinions. I will ask you to decide the specifics!" Zhuge Jin thought for a while, and finally said cautiously.

"Tzuyu, speak quickly!" Guan Yu hurriedly signaled Zhuge Jin to speak clearly after hearing this.Although he has always looked down upon scholars, Guan Yu still recognized Zhuge Jin's ability.Now I and Wenpin are like ants on a hot pot, it is good to have someone come up with an idea.

"Now Pang Shiyuan and Liu Shuye are staring at each other, and the two generals have only [-] to [-] troops. If you want to guard Jingbei to resist Cao Cao, or go north to rescue the Lord, you will be powerless. In this way, the general will shrink his troops to garrison Jingbei Just in case Cao Cao, Liu Shuye, and Li Zhengfang's men can only rely on others to rescue the Lord!" Zhuge Jin said softly.

Although Zhuge Jin was also a scholar from Jingxiang, he was not as unscrupulous as Pang Tong when he first came, and he always had to cherish his reputation. Now that Liu Bei's life and death are uncertain, he hastily embraced his concubine as his heir. It is really not good to spread the word It sounds great.Furthermore, Zhuge Jin was from Xuzhou after all, so he didn't have that strong sense of belonging to Jing Xiang, so he didn't feel very cold about what Pang Tong and the others did.As for Wenpin, he really didn't want to start another war in his homeland, so he refused to cooperate with Pang Tong to plan a great cause.

"Who can I ask for such an important matter?" Guan Yu looked at the map helplessly.Zhuge Jin pointed to the map, and continued to speak: "Liu Shuye has been in Yuzhou for many years, and Zhang Wenyuan is not here now, so the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou naturally only look after him. Li Zhengfang of Yanzhou was born in Jingxiang, so it is lucky that he does not come to attack us. Even if Cao Cao's soldiers are pressing down on the country, even if he intends to go north to rescue the lord, he is probably powerless. The rest of Qingxu and Yangzhou army horses are limited in number, and they are too far apart, so they can't do anything. Therefore, only General Zhao of Xichuan can be mobilized now. !"

"Bo Tao?" Guan Yu looked down at the map, but finally sighed: "It seems that this is the only way to go. I will send a letter to Bo Tao to lead the army through the three eastern counties and go north to rescue the elder brother!"

"In addition, in order to prevent large-scale internal strife, it is best for the second general to write a letter to Lu Zijing in Xuzhou and ask him to take charge of the situation in Xu Yang's area. If he fights with Pang Shiyuan at this time and hurts his vitality, it will be bad. .Everything, let’s wait until the lord is rescued!” Zhuge Jin added at the end.Although the words only reached this point, both Guan Yu and Wenpin knew that if Liu Bei was finished, it would be completely finished, and there was no need to worry about it.

"By the way, Mr. Ziyu, Pang Shiyuan said that he is going to kidnap General Zhao's wife and children and force him to submit!" Wen Pin recalled what Pang Tong said that day, and quickly reminded him.As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu couldn't help cursing immediately.Zhuge Jin looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly remonstrated: "Second General, I think the matter is urgent, why don't you inform Mr. Liu Qi of Jiangxia, let him transfer the navy back to Jingbei, one is to defend against Cao Cao, and the other is to send General Zhao's wife My son, please come here to prevent Pang Shiyuan from threatening. In addition, we need to send special agents to inquire about the Lord's news many times. Although it is known that the Lord's army has retreated from Xingyang, the specifics are not yet known."

"That's great!" Guan Yu nodded quickly.Regarding Liu Qi, Guan Yu was not too worried. After all, he was not an adventurous person, so he probably wouldn't have the same heart with Liu Pan and the others.Facts have proved that Guan Yu finally saw people right once.

Under Guan Yu's command, nearly 1 Jingzhou troops in Xiangyang and Nanjun were quickly mobilized.Guan Yu himself sat in Xiangyang, and transferred his reliable subordinate Dong Xi to guard the police, Chen Wu to guard Nanjun, and Zhou Tai to guard Yidu in case Liu Pan led the army to attack.In addition, under Zhuge Jin's suggestion, Guan Yu also shrank his troops, withdrawing more than [-] of the [-] troops of Mengda in Wancheng, and Guan Ping led them to station in Yiyang to prevent Li Yan and Liu Pan from attacking Yanzhou and Yuzhou.However, according to Zhuge Jin's suggestion, they all stick to the pass and don't fight.At the same time, waves of scouts and messengers were sent out like a stream to inquire about the latest news.

A few days later, the news came one after another.When Liu Bei fled, after Fu Tong led his people to fight to the death at Hulao Pass, at the cost of all 3000 people killed in battle, Liu Bei finally let Liu Bei lead about [-] remnants into Xingyang.Fortunately, Xingyang is where Liu Bei's army stores food, so there is no danger of food shortage for a while.Now Liu Bei is sticking to Xingyang, ready to wait for reinforcements.

At this time, with the support of Pang Tong, Liu Pan, Li Yan and other scholars from Jingxiang, Liu Yong, who was only four years old, was established as the new king of Chu, with Xuchang as his capital.At the same time, Pang Tong, as the Taifu and Minister of the Chu State, asked Jingzhou Mu and former general, and Yangzhou Mu Zhang Zhao to quickly come to Xuchang to assist the young master.If you don't give in, destroy it immediately.When the news came, the whole world was shocked.

"I thought Liu Xuande was a hero in vain, but I didn't want him to be like Yuan Benchu, all the princes seized the throne, causing trouble for Xiaoqiang!" Under the city of Xingyang, Cao Cao looked at the news that Xizuo had just found in his hand, and he was very disdainful.Not only him, but all Cao Jun's senior officials present were greatly surprised.Unexpectedly, Liu Bei, who was surrounded by him, became an abandoned child like this.

"My lord, why don't you take this opportunity to send your troops south to capture Jingxiang?" After hearing the good news, Cao Hong was the first to volunteer.Cao Cao frowned slightly and thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Now Liu Bei is trapped in Xingyang, and I am waiting for 20 troops to surround him. I think it is difficult for him to fly. It is just a matter of Jingxiang. Now Pang Tong and others support him. The succession of Liu Bei's youngest son will inevitably lead to factional disputes. I will wait and see what happens, and then make plans!" Even Cao Cao could not distinguish these complicated factions within Liu Bei.On the premise of not knowing the accurate information, it would be bad if rashly dispatching troops would arouse the enemy's hatred.

And all of this, Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin can't take care of it.A few days later, good news finally came. After receiving the letter from Feige, Lu Su of Xuzhou and Zhang Zhao of Yangzhou sent Xu Sheng to lead the army to Taishan County to guard against Li Yan, and the latter sent Ji Ling and Chen Bing to Xiangjiang , to guard against Liu Pan, but they are only defensive and never take the initiative to attack.However, after Shi Guangyuan of Jiaozhou heard the news, he sent Zhang Nan's Feng Xi to lead the army into Kuaiji, and joined forces with Liao Li to threaten Wujun.Zhang Zhao had no choice but to send Sun Fu to Chen Bing Zhejiang.Although there are no major conflicts everywhere, under the strict orders of Pang Tong and Liu Pan, there are constant small frictions.As for Liu Bei's eldest son, Liu Feng, fortunately, Mi Zhu in Xuchang City got the news, and his uncle and nephew fled back to Xuzhou in time, so they escaped the catastrophe.

"Second General, Ziyu, Zhongye!" Liu Qi who hurried over from Xiangyang City greeted the three of them.Seeing him coming, Guan Yu and the others were also slightly relieved.Finally, Liu Qi did not follow Liu Pan and the others all the way to the dark.

"All the soldiers and horses from Nanjiangxia and the four counties in Jingnan have been mobilized. Now Beijiangxia's affairs are taken care of by Buzishan, and I also brought [-] Jingxiang navy troops, but uncle Ye and Shiyuan can still mobilize civilian ships, cross the river calmly, and return to Jingnan." Liu Qi briefly introduced the situation.

"It's not easy for the eldest son to do this!" Guan Yu sighed, and Zhuge Jin on the side also asked quickly: "Then where are General Zhao's family now?"

"Mrs. Zhao understands righteousness. I explained to her what happened. She has already brought her son to Xichuan to meet General Zhao!" Liu Qi said calmly.As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin were really surprised.What Zhuge Jin meant was to bring Zhao Zheng and Zhen Jiang to Jingbei no matter what.One is that Pang Tong cannot be allowed to hold them as hostages, and the other is that it is a little bit of coercion to Zhao Feng.I don't want Liu Qi to be so generous and let them go to Xichuan.Now that Zhao Feng wanted to do anything, no one could stop him.

"Let's trust Bo Tao!" Guan Yu finally concluded.The situation at this time was extremely strange. Liu Bei was besieged by Cao Cao in Xingyang, but under his rule, there was a turbulent undercurrent, and it was difficult to send people to rescue him for a while.And Cao Cao naturally didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While besieging Liu Bei, he planned how to intervene in the already torn Liu Bei army and completely crush the entire Liu Bei group.

And a few days later, Zhao Feng who was in Xichuan learned of this series of news, and was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a while.Almost instantly, the entire Liu Bei Group was in danger of being destroyed.Zhao Feng couldn't imagine how bad the situation was.It was chaotic, it was too chaotic, and now Guan Yu pinned his last hope on himself, it was up to him to decide what to do.It can even be said that this decision of mine is about to determine the ownership of the world.If he can rescue Lao Liu, then there is still something to do.If Lao Liu died in Xingyang, it is almost certain that the south, which has been messed up by Pang Tong, will be captured by Cao Cao within a few years.I am in Xichuan, and it is hard to escape.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng couldn't help feeling a little bit of resentment: Pang Tong is really too keen on power, and he actually tripped his own people at this critical juncture.Even Yuan Shao in the old days, when he was alive, the god horse Xu You and the judge were fighting for favor if they died, so I dare not treat him as if he didn't exist.If Pang Tong sent his army to rescue Lao Liu at this time, why would he be so troublesome?It's a pity that he is unwilling to waste the strength of his direct line for the sake of Lao Liu who is in deep siege.Such short-sightedness, I am afraid that only He Yingqin of later generations, who wants to take advantage of the Xi'an Incident to bomb Zhang Xueliang and Lao Jiang, can "comparable" with him.

"Hey, why did Brother Shi Yuan do such a thing?" Ma Di shook his head and sighed.At this time, all the high-level officials in Yizhou gathered together, and Zhuge Liang had just analyzed the stakes.Now everyone is looking at Zhao Feng, waiting for him to make up his mind.

"General, your wife is here!" At this moment Niu Jin hurried over and said, Zhao Feng was taken aback when he heard that, "Which wife am I?" Subconsciously asked.

"Husband, it's me!" Accompanied by this familiar voice, Zhen Jiang walked in calmly.After meeting with everyone, Zhen Jiangcai told him that Liu Pan and Pang Tong intended to take him as a hostage, and they came to Xichuan as soon as possible because of Liu Qi's subpoena.The reason why he was in such a hurry to come to the government office to see him was to let him relax and not interfere with his thinking because of himself and his son.

"It's rare for Madam to be so considerate of me!" Zhao Feng also sighed after hearing the words.If it weren't for the sight of everyone, he would definitely have hugged her and made out with her.Damn Pang Tong, he actually wants his wife to threaten him, it's really hateful.

"General, what do you think?" Seeing that Zhao Feng's eyes became more and more determined, Lu Xun knew that he had already made a decision, so he asked with a hint of expectation.Zhao Feng looked at him, then at the high-level people in Yizhou who were watching him in the hall, and finally made the most important decision in his life.
