Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 154

"However, Lan Tian, ​​the mastermind, and Liao Li, the accomplice, are still alive. Gongjin must avenge his great vengeance. He will send troops to Jiangling today to ask Guan Yu for questioning." Sun Quan said sonorously.

"Wei." All the generals in the hall were excited.

Seeing this, Lu Su hurriedly stopped him, "My lord, you can't. Now that the Sun and Liu are in an alliance, we are attacking each other. I'm afraid Cao's bandits will take advantage of it, and General Guan doesn't know about it..."

Sun Quan nodded solemnly: "Zijing's reminder is right. Immediately order Cheng Gong (Cheng Pu) to send troops from Jianchang, Ziheng (Lu Fan) to send troops from Cangwu, and Ziqi (Wei Jing) to send troops from the South China Sea. Join forces in Lingling to attack Lantian."

Chapter 316 A Storm in the Yangtze River

Lu Su was shocked when he heard this, seeing that this posture was about to start a full-scale war.

He hastily walked up to Sun Quan, and stretched out his hands to dissuade him loudly: "My lord, think twice, if this happens, the Sun-Liu alliance will be gone. What will Cao Cao do if he goes south?"

Sun Quan frowned and said, "What is Cao thief afraid of? I almost captured him at Ruxukou. Zijing can't stop me."

Lu Su knelt down and begged: "My lord, this is what Fu Shiren's family said. You should go to the book to inquire or confront it face-to-face. It will be too late to regret..."

At this time, Lu Meng gave Fu Shiren a look, and Fu Shiren clasped his fists and said sincerely: "What I said just now is absolutely true, the governor should not be prejudiced against me..."

"Shut up..." Lu Su turned his head and drank, directly restraining Fu Shiren from making excuses.

When Zhou Yu died, Lu Su was by his side. He absolutely did not believe that Fu Shiren poisoned him, because when he was in the army, he poured Zhou Yu's wine himself, and he was alive and well. How could the wine be poisonous?

Lu Su even suspected Zhou Shan, because Zhou Yu had never taken other medicines except Zhitong Pills, but since Zhou Shan had died, the matter was let go.

Sun Quan helped Lu Su up, and said earnestly: "Zijing is too kind. The so-called good people are bullied, and Ma Shan is ridden by others. You can't just tolerate it in front of Liu Bei. If it weren't for Gongjin who burned Cao Ying in Wulin, how could Liu Xuande Occupy Jingxiang? Without us in Ruxu to contain the Cao bandits, how could Liu Xuande take Yizhou safely? We need to repay the favor of others, even if we take away some counties in Jingzhou, there is nothing wrong with it..."

"My lord, there are some doubts about this matter. Gong Jin is already dead. I still don't recommend being so reckless..." Lu Su was still fighting.

Sun Quan said coldly: "This guy from Lantian cheated Heng (Lv Fan)'s property, and later he ran the Yangtze River Newspaper to slander Jiangdong's reputation. It is for Liu Xuande's good that I get rid of this traitor."

Lu Su swallowed his saliva. When Sun Quan first saw Sun in the Changjiang newspaper, he first cursed Cao Cao for being insidious and cunning. Later, he was glad that the Changjiang newspaper had concealed his real name.

Because there was news of people praising people for fleeing Jiangdong at the same time, Sun Quan acquiesced in that issue of the Yangtze River News being circulated in Jiangdong. The well-known guy insulted him crazily, causing a few people who knew the inside story to secretly send someone to take back the distributed newspapers.

The notoriety is hard to recover, and a particularly strange phenomenon appeared in Jiangdong later. Some people taught officials and people to be loyal to Sun Quan, and at the same time used Sun as a negative example, calling him a scum of the Han Dynasty for forgetting his ancestors.

Although Sun Quan was talking about Lantian, Lu Su knew that Sun Quan was not that superficial. He would neither raise troops to avenge Zhou Yu, nor plan carefully because he hated Lantian. All of this may be because of Jingzhou. After all, Jingzhou is empty now. The opportunity is too rare.

Seeing that he could not stop Sun Quan, Lu Su could only play by his side.

The next day, Jiangdong's warships sailed up the Yangtze River. The mighty posture was even more magnificent than those commanded by Zhou Yu back then.

The fleet sailed near Chibi, and Sun Quan went to the former camp to mourn Zhou Yu, where he encouraged morale impassionedly.

Such a large-scale fleet is extremely eye-catching, and was quickly spotted by Sufei's patrol boat on the Yangtze River.

Su Fei knew that the situation must be wrong, and the whereabouts of the fleet of tens of thousands of people in Jiangdong was unknown. On the one hand, he sent people to Jiangling to report to Guan Yu, and on the other hand, he dispatched warships to go down the river to monitor the movement, and sent people to Changsha, Guiyang, and especially Quanzhou. The Ganning Office of the Mausoleum gave an early warning.

There are more than 4000 warships of the Public Security Bureau, and the navy has only [-] to [-] people. Fortunately, the news was obtained in time, and they rushed to Dongting Lake to station in advance. Because this is the only way to enter the Xiangjiang River, there are archery towers and watchtowers by the lake. The defensive facilities such as towers were rebuilt on the basis of Guan Yu's earliest training of water army water villages.

After Sun Quan gave a speech at Chibi, he took advantage of the situation and sailed to the west of the Yangtze River. He was surprised when he saw that Dongting was defended.

"General Fu, didn't you say that apart from the police, there are no defenses along the Yangtze River? Why is there a Jingzhou navy at the mouth of Dongting Lake?" Sun Quan called Fu Shiren to the deck of the "Feiyun" for questioning.

Fu Shiren's face was full of innocence, just like a primary school student who made a mistake.

"My lord, I really don't know about the humble position. I sent someone to Changsha last month. At that time, there was no garrison at Shuikou in Dongting."

Seeing this, Lu Meng said: "My lord, the vanguard fleet of Gongji (Ling Tong) is not here, which means that these warships arrived later. I think there are only more than a hundred warships in the water village, and it can't stop our thousands of warships. ship, you can just crush it directly.”

Sun Quan nodded. He had never been rich in battle with Cao Cao. Now the military strength is very different. In short, I have the advantage this time.

"Fortunately, Gongji (Ling Tong) was sent to advance to Xiangshui, otherwise he would be tipped off by these people, so let me run over him now, and finally he can avenge Gongjin."

At Sun Quan's order, three large boats led the way, with battleships on the left and right defending them, with countless boats behind them, and the race with thousands of sails was very grand.

Su Fei saw that the opponent was fighting unannounced, and he was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Now the disparity in military strength is more than ten times, and there is no possibility of defending. I hope that General Guan's main force will arrive sooner.

The Jiangdong warship sailed upstream and reached an outlet in the Yangtze River. Suddenly, the river was turbulent, and the powerful storm caused huge waves. Su Fei's warship had already anchored in the water village, and was also shaken up and down by the wind and waves.

"My lord, there is a sudden storm on the Yangtze River. We might as well anchor on the shore first, and wait until the wind and waves calm down before marching." Jiang Qin shouted from the boat in front.

"What?" Sun Quan was condescending, and the strong wind almost knocked him down, so he was hurriedly pulled into the cabin.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's normal for strong winds to blow up on the Yangtze River, not to mention that your boat is very stable." Lu Meng comforted quickly.

Sun Quan nodded, and suddenly staggered, and all the people in the cabin fell to the ground. The strong wind and waves came quickly and violently, and then the building suddenly turned the rudder, and then the sail was blown to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Lu Meng felt that 'Feiyun' was going backwards, he rushed to the deck with a suspicious attitude, then grabbed the handle and looked behind him, only to see that the three buildings in the front were no longer visible, and all the ships were sailing forward. go back.

The storm just now was really severe. Because the center of gravity of the three leading buildings was too high, they were thrown directly into the Yangtze River. Thousands of soldiers on the boat died, and the wounded were instantly turned into fish and shrimp, and the water quality was good. One of them was struggling to swim to the shore, and if he was lucky, he picked up a piece of wood and drifted with the wind and waves.

He was beaten in the face by the storm before the battle, and more than two thousand people were lost before the battle, and three expensive building ships were attached.

Sun Quan sat on the bank without saying a word, with a face as if someone owed him money and did not pay him back. Sun Quan was worried that there would be a big storm on the Yangtze River, so he ordered to camp on the bank temporarily, and continued to march towards Dongting when the sky cleared.

Seeing this scene, Su Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He sincerely thanked the heaven for delaying Jingzhou's time. Sun Quan was blown back thirty miles by the strong wind.

The next day was sunny, and Sun Quan was about to let the warships advance to Dongting, but found several warships on the west river. The nine-foot-long general on the bow, wearing a parrot shirt, was none other than the world-renowned Guan Yunchang.

Chapter 317 Confrontation

Guan Yu stands proudly on the bow of the boat, the young Guan Ping on the left hangs a sword at his waist, and Zhou Cang on the right shoulders the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, his majesty is unstoppable.

Seeing this, Lu Su immediately said: "My lord, General Guan has come in person. It seems that Jingzhou has already prepared. The strong wind sank three ships yesterday, which has caused the army's morale to be unstable. We might as well return to Jiangxia before the conflict arises." Rest?"

"My lord, the arrow must be fired. Even though Guan Yunchang has taken precautions, the main force of Jingzhou has been attracted here. It is better to wait for Chenggong and Ziheng to take Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling counties. At that time It will not be too late to discuss with him and withdraw our troops." Lu Meng hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Ziming, you are harming Jiangdong." Lu Su severely reprimanded.

"Great Governor, the Lord's general order has been issued, and the three armies may already be at war. If we withdraw the navy, won't I let Jiangdong Jianer be slaughtered by Guan Yu?" Lu Meng argued hard.

"This..." Although Lu Su is committed to the alliance, but it involves Jiangdong's core interests, he can't talk about it for outsiders. He only hates that the wind and cold came too hastily. Why didn't he find out that the warship was going to Jiangxia? Can advise the lord in time to avoid catastrophe.

Seeing Guan Yu's astonishing appearance, Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and sighed: "Guan Yunchang is really a man of heaven. Zijing and Ziming will deal with him for me. Just trap the main force of Jingzhou here."

"Wei." Lu Su (Lu Meng) replied in unison.

Sun Quan had lingering fears from the storm yesterday, and today he switched to a more stable fighting ship. When Guan Yu's ship was getting closer, Guan Ping stood at the bow and shouted: "Is Lu Zijing here?"

At this time, the warm sun was shining above the Yangtze River, and Guan Ping's voice was very loud. After hearing this, Lu Su bravely stepped onto the deck, and Lu Meng followed beside him in military uniform.

Lu Su walked to the bow of the boat and bowed his hands: "General Guan is safe and sound."

Guan Yu sneered coldly: "Zhou Gongjin didn't have such a big fight in the past, Zijing wouldn't tell me to take Yizhou?"

Lu Su said embarrassingly: "Because there is a major event involving Jingzhou, I came here to ask General Guan for advice."

"Zijing wants to ask Guan for advice, and he needs thousands of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers to cheer him up? Is it because we are too unfamiliar with each other, or is the captain's courage getting weaker?" Guan Yufeng's eyes were bluffing.

"In the battle of Chibi, I Jiangdong contributed a lot, but in the end I didn't get an inch of land, but Duke Xuande got the whole of Jingzhou. Does General Guan think it's fair?" Lu Su asked cheekily.

"Hahaha, back then the tripartite alliance agreed to divide Jingzhou, and I gave up Xinye when I couldn't take down Xiangyang. What do you mean by not gaining an inch of land? Isn't it a little brazen for Zijing to talk about fairness with me?" Guan Yu said disdainfully.

"Guan Yunchang, Lan Tian is Liu Xuande's wife and younger brother. He has been plotting against me, Jiangdong, from the very beginning. Why are you talking about a tripartite alliance?" Lu Meng saw that Lu Su couldn't talk about Guan Yu, so he couldn't help but chime in.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, and asked contemptuously, "Who are you? Is this how the governor restrains his subordinates? There are no rules at all."

"General Pian Lu Meng has met General Guan." Lu Meng clasped his fists and nodded lightly.

Guan Yu sneered: "Lv Ziming who lost to Lai Gong in Jiaozhou? Your reputation in Jingzhou is not small."

At this moment, Lu Meng hated Liao Li anxiously, thinking how could I want to be so famous?He suppressed the anger in his heart, and argued peacefully: "General Guan, please don't change the subject, what do you say about Lantian?"

"What do you say? Although Lan Ziyu is my elder brother's wife and younger brother, she was a minister of the eldest son at that time. Who in Jingzhou didn't know about this matter? Did Zijing forget that Jiang Xia met back then?" Guan Yu asked.

"Let's just look at the results now. Duke Xuande has benefited a lot from Chibi, but I have no land in Jiangdong..." Lu Su replied awkwardly.

Guan Yu raised his head and laughed loudly: "There is a lot of land in the world. If Jiangdong wants to take it, he can take it himself. Isn't Xiangyang and Hefei all in the hands of Cao thief? The thousand warships behind you are just decorations? Why would you rather entangle with me here than Don't want to fight for it yourself?"

Lu Su was at a loss for words for a while, and Lu Meng added after seeing this: "Xiangyang, Hefei, and Jiangdong will be taken sooner or later. As for when we will take it, it is hard to tell, but it is an indisputable fact that we broke Cao Cao in Chibi. It is a pity that you sent someone to poison Zhou Dudu in vain. , does Liu Xuande feel at ease in this land of Jingzhou?"

Guan Yu was startled when he heard that, he looked left and right, and found that both Guan Ping and Zhou Cang looked strange, "What did you just say? We sent someone to poison Zhou Gongjin?"

"Yes." Lu Meng said firmly.

"Zijing?" Guan Yu asked Lu Su again for confirmation.

Lu Su also nodded and said: "This matter has now been found out, and it was Jiang Xia's Fu Dudu Fu who personally admitted it."

Guan Yu was greatly shocked. He immediately sensed that Jiang Xia was in danger, so he suppressed his excitement and asked, "Where is Fu Shiren? Can you come and confront me?"

Lu Su nodded slightly, then waved his hand in the direction of the cabin, Fu Shiren stepped onto the deck with heavy steps, and appeared in front of Guan Yu with a blank expression.

Guan Yu turned his head and asked with blank eyes: "What did you admit?"

Fu Shiren tilted his head, not daring to meet Guan Yu's gaze, and then slowly stated that he had "poisoned" Zhou Yu.

During the presentation process, Fu Shiren was frightened by Guan Yu's coercion, and was so nervous that he forgot Liao Li and Lan Tian's two "accomplices". Invited Jiangxia to atone for Jiangdong.

Guan Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng were extremely shocked after hearing this. Guan Yu was surprised that there was such a bizarre story. Could it be that Fu Shiren's head was kicked by a horse?Are you remorseful and dedicating my elder brother's city?

Lu Su and Lu Meng were surprised that his confession was different from Jiang Xia's. Who gave this guy courage?

"General Guan, did you hear that? Dudu Fu is a close minister of Lord Xuande, and he stopped this matter alone, do you think my lord will believe it?" Lu Meng made a sudden move and directly made up the knife. This wave of maneuvers made Lu Su and Fu Shiren's scalp numb.

"My elder brother is upright and aboveboard, he is a man who stands up to the sky, how could he do such a childish thing?" Guan Yu's tone was cold.

"Although Xuande is an upright person, there are also mistakes that others don't notice. Gongjin worked hard to defeat the Cao thief, but finally died at the hands of treacherous villains. Why don't General Guan go to Chengdu and ask how to deal with it?" Lu Su reminded.

Guan Yu shook his head, "Why bother, since he has confessed to the crime, Jiangdong will kill him or kill him, so why bother to mobilize people to come to Jingzhou to question the crime?"

Lu Meng sneered: "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Zhou Dudu was murdered by Xuande Gong's subordinates, and it cannot be wiped away by General Guan's words."

"What else do you want?" Guan Yu asked with empty eyes.

"The land in Jingzhou must be re-divided, otherwise it may be difficult to appease the wrath of the Jiangdong officials." Lu Meng threatened.

"Take it as I'm afraid you won't succeed." Guan Yu's angry eyes moved slightly, and a murderous look hit Lu Meng's eyes.

Seeing that the two men were at war, Lu Su quickly persuaded him to make peace: "General Guan should go to Chengdu to ask Mr. Xuande for instructions, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to get excited..."

Guan Yu thought that Yiji was in Jingzhou, so he had to go back to Chengdu.

"You guys want to wait here?" Guan Yu asked again.

Lu Meng snorted coldly: "Otherwise, how do you show Jiangdong's importance?"

All the naval forces in Jiangdong seem to have come, and it seems that they will not let it go. Cao Ren in the north may threaten Jiangling, Guan Yu weighs the pros and cons and turns the rudder back to Dongting.

Chapter 318 Don't panic

Seeing Guan Yu's warship turn the rudder, Lu Meng remembered how arrogant he was just now, so he turned around and suggested to Lu Su: "Guan Yu is so brave, even five or six warships dared to come and make a scene. Now everyone is against the current, so why don't you go by boat?" Get entangled, and then the warship will follow up, and Jingzhou can decide immediately to capture this person."

Lu Su glared angrily: "My lord is young and vigorous, and is easily instigated by outsiders. If we attack General Guan at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to a full-scale war with Duke Xuande? How can there be peace talks?"

"Why is the governor afraid of going to war with Liu Bei? Are we Jiangdong athletes afraid?" Although Lu Meng was arguing, his momentum was obviously weaker. After all, Lu Su was still the governor of Jiangdong, and the army attached great importance to his superiors and subordinates.

Lu Su frowned: "Zi Ming is a general who is highly valued by the lord, and he has read a lot of books. Don't you know that you must first plan the overall situation when planning a region? Now that Cao Cao is strong and Sun Liu is weak, if we fight against Liu Xuande, if Cao Jun Bringing a large army to attack again, do you think there will be reinforcements?"

"The Cao bandit that we pushed back alone at Ruxukou, Guan Yu's reinforcements were useless at all, and Cao bandit's water army couldn't cross the Yangtze River at all." Lu Meng continued to argue.

"What if Cao Cao formed an alliance with Liu Xuande? Jingzhou's navy was born out of Liu Biao in the past, and even if Gong Jin came back to life at that time, there would be no accidental conflagration..." Lu Su shook his head and sighed.

Lu Meng was startled when he heard that: "Isn't Liu Bei against Cao Cao? How could they form an alliance?"

Lu Su stretched out his cuffs, walked towards the cabin and said, "Ziming can count others, but others won't count you? Read more books, don't just limit yourself to the art of war..."

Lu Meng suddenly discovered that the weak Lu Su seemed to be much more powerful than he imagined. No wonder Zhou Dudu recommended him to take over before his death.

Lu Su returned to the cabin to remind Sun Quan that Guan Yu or Cao Ren would attack Jiangxia from behind the Han River, and suggested that the main force be withdrawn and stationed at Lukou.

The rest of the generals in the cabin did not raise any objections, so Sun Quan led the main force of the navy to station at Lukou, and sent Lu Su and Lu Meng with more than [-] sailors to station on the right bank of Dongting Lake, facing Guan Yu's navy from Jingzhou across the lake.

Because of Su Fei's early warning, Guan Yu was not too worried about the Jingnan counties. He first let Yiji enter Shu by fast boat, and focused all his attention on the enemies in front of him, and Xiangyang in the north of Jiangling. too little.

Spring is shining in March, and the joyful picture scroll under the blue sky is slowly unfolding.

On the broad green grassland along the Xiangshui River, five little ones, Lan Yuan, Lan Ji, Adou, Gao Ling, and Gan Gui, ran back and forth to play with the ball. Lan Tian, ​​Gan Ning, and Gao Shun also joined in from time to time. Not far away, Lu Lingqi and Gan Qian led Liu Shu and Liu Wan are flying kites.

As Quanling Academy continues to train agricultural students, Lantian no longer needs to go to the field to guide spring plowing.

Everything on the earth is revived, and the world is beautiful.

Lan Tian took time out of his busy schedule to take his wife, children and others to the north of Quanling City for an outing.

The place where they played was the field station of the Jiangwutang recruit camp. At this time, there was no recruit training task. Lu Sima, who was leaning on iron crutches, led dozens of veterans to teach Lantian and others to be on guard.

After they ran for a while, Lan Tian walked up to Gan Ning and asked, "How has Liu Jiyu (Liu Zhang) been here for a few months?"

Gan Ning nodded: "Although Quanling City is not as large as Chengdu, in terms of fireworks and lively atmosphere, even Jiangling City can't compare. Liu Jiyu and his son adapted faster than anyone else, and they are with General Li every day. Walking around on the street, he said that the life of ordinary people here is better than that of Zhou Mu."
