Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 396 Jingzhou Storm (16)

Liu Bei said: "Oh, what should I do if you do this."

"My nephew is young and ignorant, offended my uncle Huwei, please don't take it to heart. My nephew is young and has little learning, great ambition and talent, not as good as my uncle's literary and military strategy. Jingzhou is my father's half-life foundation, and must not fall into the hands of outsiders Although the nephew and uncle are not direct relatives, they are also of the same lineage. Both are descendants of the Han Dynasty. The nephew is willing to give up Jingzhou Mu, Jingzhou governor, and Zhennan general to his uncle, and asks his uncle to take care of the millions of people in Jingzhou Come on, don't refuse." Liu Qi said.

"General Liu, please don't refuse, this is the hope of millions of people in Jingzhou." The civil and military officials behind Liu Qi said in unison.

Liu Bei no longer refused, immediately took the surrender form from Liu Qi's hand, handed it to Xu Shu behind him, took Liu Qi's hand, and walked straight to Xiangyang City, saying as he walked, "From now on, I will definitely send you As my own flesh and blood, our father and son will work together to make Jingzhou prosperous."

As soon as Liu Bei entered Xiangyang City, he immediately ordered the arrest of Kuai Yue, and released the imprisoned family members of Wei Yan and Xu Shao. Afterwards, Xu Shu, Yi Ji, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others took over the entire Xiangyang City. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei commanded the entire army, and quickly occupied Xiangyang City in just one hour, completing the transfer of power.

"My lord, Kuai Yue's family members are all here, but Kuai Yue has disappeared. Some soldiers saw Kuai Yue heading towards Jiangling." Mi Fang stepped into the hall of the prefect's mansion, and reported to Liu Bei as soon as he entered.

"My lord, Jiangling City and Xiangyang City belong to Nanjun. Jiangling was originally the county seat of Nanjun. After Liu Biao took charge of Jingzhou, he moved the county city to Xiangyang. However, Jiangling is still a place where money and food are gathered. Today, Jiangling still has [-] soldiers and horses. , Kuai Yue went there, I'm afraid he wanted to confuse the soldiers and horses there to prepare to resist the Lord." Han Song analyzed.

After Liu Bei heard this, he frowned and asked, "We just captured Xiangyang. If we don't take advantage of the situation and occupy Jiangling, the entire South County will not be stable. Second brother, I will leave the important task of taking Jiangling to you."

Guan Yu said: "Brother, don't worry, Guan is here, and Jiangling will definitely be captured."

"Wait a minute! If you want to take Jiangling, you don't have to send troops. In my opinion, it's better to stay in Xiangyang. After three days, someone will definitely bring Kuai Yue's head." Zhuge Liang hurriedly stopped him.

As soon as this remark came out, all the people present were surprised. They all focused their eyes on Zhuge Liang and asked, "How do you say that?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Although Jiangling has soldiers, it has no generals. Zhang Yun has been guarding Jiangling for a long time. Once Zhang Yun died, they were like a piece of loose sand with no one to command them. However, there are two soldiers in Jiangling city. The young generals, one is Huo Du and the other is Huo Jun, these two are brothers, although they are young, they are very courageous and courageous, I believe Kuai Yue must have gone looking for them."

"Then we have to send troops even more. If Kuai Yue finds those two brothers and takes command of the troops in Jiangling City, wouldn't he want to attack us instead? If we chase now, maybe we can catch up with Kuai Yue , kill him." Guan Yu said.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "General Guan doesn't have to chase after him. The Huo Brothers will personally send Kuaiyue's head to Xiangyang, and Jiangling doesn't have to attack. They will naturally surrender. If they send troops to attack Jiangling, I'm afraid it will backfire. .”

Everyone saw that Zhuge Liang was very confident, so they didn't say anything anymore. After all, Guan Yu had seen Zhuge Liang's abilities before. Although what he said as a child may not be completely correct, at least [-]% to [-]% are accurate.

After hearing this, Liu Bei waved his hands and said, "Then according to Zhuge's advice, everyone should leave. Now that you have just accepted Xiangyang, there are still many things waiting for you to do. Second brother, you stay, I have something to say. "

"promise!"

So everyone dispersed and Guan Yu stayed alone.

"Second brother, Nanyang County is the barrier of the entire Jingzhou. It is a land extending in all directions. It is connected to Sili in the north, Hanzhong and Guanzhong in the northwest, and it is adjacent to Yuzhou in the east. It is an extremely important position. I would like you to lead The Ministry is stationed in Nanyang County, as the prefect of Nanyang, you can decide everything yourself." Liu Bei walked to Guan Yu's side, took Guan Yu's hand and said.

Guan Yu nodded heavily, and said: "Brother, don't worry, Guan is here, and I guarantee that no one will dare to underestimate Jingzhou. If anyone dares to play Jingzhou's idea, first ask about the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand."

"Well, I'm relieved. Let Liu Xian and Fu Xun go with you. One of them is familiar with Yuzhou and the other is familiar with the Northwest. They may be of great help to you."

"promise!"

After Liu Bei finished his confession, Guan Yu left, and then Liu Bei personally visited all levels of civil and military personnel in Xiangyang City to show how much he attached importance to these people.Needless to say, his recruiting of a virtuous corporal has indeed won the welcome of Jingzhou literati in Xiangyang City. Compared with Liu Biao's previous aloofness, it makes people feel that Liu Bei is easier to get close to.

The next morning, just after dawn, two fast horses came from outside the city of Xiangyang. The two knights on the horses looked similar, they were both young, and one of them was holding a bloody package in his hand.

The two men rode their horses to the foot of Xiangyang City, and rushed to the top of the tower, shouting: "Huo Du, the guard of Jiangling, who is carrying Kuaiyue's head, has come here to plead guilty to General Liu. He also hopes to open the city gate and let me in."

The guard guarding the south gate was Mi Fang. As soon as he heard that the people in the city reported himself as Huo Du, he immediately went down from the tower, ordered the gate to be opened, and led twenty cavalrymen to gallop out of the gate, passing the suspension bridge. After that, it was in front of Huo Du.

Mi Fang first sized up Huo Du, and then sized up the person riding side by side with Huo Du on horseback, seeing that Huo Du was only seventeen or eighteen years old, while the one next to Huo Du was younger, at most 15 years old.However, the faces of the two of them showed a sense of fortitude, and they looked a little calm and majestic.

Seeing that Mi Fang was looking at them all the time, Huo Du got off his horse immediately, and at the same time put the head wrapped in cloth in his hand on the ground, knelt down on one knee, and bowed to Mi Fang: "Excuse me, Huo Du, this is mine. Brother Huo Jun, the two of us have come here today to surrender to General Liu, and I hope General Liu will accept you."

Mi Fang also got off the horse, immediately helped Huo Du and Huo Jun up, and said with a smile: "My name is Mi Fang, not General Liu, besides, how could General Liu grow up like me. Well, General Liu is now in the city , both of you, please follow me."

Huo Du and Huo Jun saw that Mi Fang didn't look at the head, they looked at each other for a while, and then asked together: "Don't you need to look at the head to see if it belongs to Kuai Yue, and are you not afraid that we are swindling surrender?"

"Everything has its own destiny. Your arrival has already been determined by someone. It doesn't make any difference whether I see it or not. Please come with me." Mi Fang turned and left.

Both Huo Du and Huo Jun were astonished, thinking, who is so powerful, who even knew their purpose in advance.Unable to figure it out, he could only lead the horse and follow Mi Fang to the city.

Zhuge Liang directly brought Huo Du and Huo Jun to the hall of the prefect's mansion to meet Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei occupied Xiangyang, he moved the Governor's Mansion of Jingzhou in Xiangyang City, and let Liu Qi continue to live there, while he himself lived in the Prefect's Mansion.

After Zhuge Liang, Huo Du, and Huo Jun entered the prefect's mansion, they saw Liu Bei sitting in the hall. Zhuge Liang bowed as soon as he entered, "See you, my lord."

"Wai Li, who are these two?" Liu Bei asked when he saw two young juniors coming.

Mi Fang said: "These two are exactly Huo Du and Huo Jun, and they surrendered Kuai Yue's head."

Seeing that Liu Bei was sitting there, Huo Du and Huo Jun immediately knelt down on the ground and bowed to Liu Bei: "Our brothers have heard about the general for a long time, and we are able to meet you today. In fact, Sansheng is very lucky. Our brothers have already beheaded Kuai Yue. Kill him, and use his head as a gift, and hope the general can take us in."

Liu Bei is short of talents, as long as someone comes to join him, he will do whatever he wants, but he has always been very accurate in judging people, and he saw that the two people in front of him are also a little bit good, if they can be cultivated, they may become outstanding Warlord.He hurriedly walked to Huo Du and Huo Jun, helped Huo Du and Huo Jun up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "From today on, you two will be captains, and you will follow Huang Zhong's side. .”

Huo Du and Huo Jun said: "Thank you, my lord, for taking me in. We will definitely do our best to help you, my lord."

Another day later, after Liu Bei finished resting, he took three thousand cavalry, Zhang Fei, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Huo Du, and Huo Jun to Nanjun, leaving behind Sun Qian, Yi Ji, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others defend the city.

After arriving in Jiangling, Huo Du and Huo Jun took the lead in entering the city and persuaded the officials in the city to join Liu Bei, which was unanimously approved by the officers in the army.Therefore, Liu Bei took down Jiangling City without any effort, got [-] soldiers and horses, and countless money and food.

Jingzhou, Wulin County, Taishou Mansion.

"What? Liu Bei managed to capture Xiangyang and Jiangling in a short period of three days without a single soldier?" Zhang Xian, the prefect of Wulin, immediately felt the news that the scouts had brought back from the northern part of Jingzhou. Very surprised.

Zhang Xian is from Nanyang, and he started to be an official in his early years. At the beginning, he successively served as the prefect of Changsha and Wulin. Wulin formed a force here.However, his character was stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. He suggested to Liu Biao many times to send troops to attack the barbarians near Hengyang County, but Liu Biao refused again and again.

In view of the fact that the barbarians ravaged Hengyang and harassed them frequently, Zhang Xian recruited an army on his own, joined Jiangjin prefect, public security prefect, and Hengyang prefect to attack Hengyang, repelled the barbarians in Hengyang temporarily, and brought some peace to Hengyang.Liu Biao was afraid that Zhang Xian would be very popular in the south of Jiangling, so he took the initiative to transfer Zhang Xian to Xiangyang, but Zhang Xian disagreed, and from then on, he and Liu Biao formed a relationship.
