Chapter 122

What Zhuge Liang prepared, of course, was to open the way for Lu Fengxian's army.

With so many things in his hands, he didn't make them for viewing. Whether it's transporting food or blasting mountains to clear roads, Zhuge Liang can find a suitable method for you, it depends on whether you dare to use it!

Already having the experience of serving in the army, Zhuge Liang couldn't do nothing this time. He originally wanted to let him handle military affairs, but who knows, since he came out, this kid hasn't stayed in the camp for a day.

Going out of his way to see what's going on, Gu Qi found that their little friend Zhuge Liang had completely gone on the path of engineering students, and if this continued, their prime minister, who was good at handling internal affairs, would completely disappear.

Thinking that it could be rescued, Gu Qi euphemistically expressed that it is not good to focus on one thing all the time, and it would be good to read more bamboo slips if there is nothing to do, after all, he is so busy now.

However, Zhuge Liang replied plausibly, "Mr. Pei said that no mistakes can be made without proficiency, and I don't want Liang to lose your reputation in the future!"

I don't know when Zhuge Liang got in touch with his senior brother. Standing still in front of Zhuge Liang, looking at the young Zhuge Liang who has grown up a bit recently, Gu Qi patted him on the shoulder, and said with a serious face, "Does the senior brother have any?" Tell you, the premise of proficiency is that you have a life?"

"Sir..." Being asked with one sentence, Zhuge Liang didn't know how to answer, Zhuge Liang saw that Gu Qi only popped out two words and had nothing to say.

However, he didn't stop attacking the young man in front of him, and straightened Zhuge Liang's clothes. Gu Qi continued, "Ah Liang can hide from Lingqi now? Brother Pei Yuan can guarantee that he won't get hurt, can A Liang guarantee it?" ?”

Glancing at the guards around him, he didn't think that crazy girl like Lu Lingqi would appear here. Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, feeling as if Mr. Jin Shu was digging a hole for him.

Could it be that there are too many things these days, and Mr. Jinshu is too busy, so you want to drag him over to work?

Next, Zhuge Liang's conjecture was confirmed, because Mr. Jin Shu of their family then said, "Since A Liang can't guarantee it, it's better to stay in the tent and handle military affairs with Mr. Xun. Qi believes that A Liang's ability , this matter is still not difficult for you."

Looking at Zhuge Liang with bright eyes, Gu Qi felt that even he, who used to avoid official affairs, could read the bamboo slips without changing his face, and Zhuge Liang would be even better.

However, I forgot that Zhuge Liang is not the cunning prime minister in history, he is just a boy obsessed with natural craftsmanship, is it too early to think about this?

Besides, here in Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang doesn't need to work hard to support a Shu Han like in history, and there are so many seniors here, and he doesn't need to change his preferences to do something he doesn't like.

But now, looking at Gu Qi who treats him like a child, Zhuge Liang sighs old-fashionedly. Sometimes he even thinks that Mr. Jin Shu must be too well protected by his master, so he always treats him as a little bit of a bad guy. A child who knows how to protect himself, but he is really not a child anymore!

Maybe it's just because Mr. Jinshu didn't understand anything at this age, so it's like this.

Thinking that everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and that all things that need to be arranged have been arranged, Zhuge Liang looked at Gu Qi and decisively regarded himself as a fool, "If this is the case, then follow Mr. Xun at dawn these days! "

success!

A dazzling light flashed in his eyes, Gu Qi seemed to see a future where the number of bamboo slips in front of him would decrease, so he looked at Zhuge Liang with even more joy.

Zhuge Liang: Sure enough, Mr. Pei is right. Under normal circumstances, Mr. Jinshu's emotions are really easy to see.

He shook his head and followed Gu Qi to leave here. After a while, a soldier came to send a message, saying that the general had something to look for, and asked them to go to the main account to discuss.

When they arrived, many people were already seated in the tent, and they found a place to sit down. Zhuge Liang watched Gu Qi walk to Xun Yu's side, and the general above him had not moved his eyes since Mr. Jin Shu came in. opened.

Sighing again, Zhuge Liang felt that Mr. Jin Shu might be disappointed again. The general made arrangements at the beginning, and he still had to go with the army. How could he stay in the army all the time.

But Mr. Jin Shu probably won't care about these things in the future, and he is not like that young lady who knows to cause trouble for Mr. Jin Shu all day long.

Duan Duan was sitting there, Zhuge Liang quietly listened to the discussions of the counselors, and at the same time guessed the general course of action. After all, he was a young and wise young man from the Zhuge family. You can also guess what will happen next.

There was news from Nanyang, but Jia Xu didn't persuade him much, so Zhang Xiu decided to fight Liu Biao with Lu Bu. If there was no accident, they could send troops directly from Nanyang and directly enter Jingzhou.

And Zhang Ji turned against Liu Biao. It is not known what he thought, but there is no doubt that of the seven counties in Jingzhou, only the three counties of Wuling and Jiangxia are under Liu Biao's control.

That being the case, why don't you take advantage of your illness to kill you and wait for you to recover?

Gathering the counselors and generals, Lu Bu began to arrange how to march. Looking at Lu Fengxian above who was strategizing, Gu Qi sat next to Xun Yu with his lips raised. Sure enough, the lord who looked like this was even more attractive!

They are now near Jiangxia, and they will send people to check Zhang Ji's tone first to see if he wants to surrender or fight.

Divided into several routes to attack the city at the same time, now that Lu Bu has many soldiers under his tent, they are going to crush Liu Jingsheng this time.

But in just half a month, most of the cities in Jiangxia were included in Lu Bu's pocket. Liu Jingsheng, who had originally pinned his hopes on the emperor, finally wanted to stand up and resist. However, at this moment, he was too sick to get out of bed.

Because he doted on his stepwife Cai, Liu Biao gave Cai Mao a lot of power, and the relationship between his two sons was not good because of the bedside affair. There is no chance of winning.

Therefore, when Liu Biao was still lying on the bed, Cai Mao and some clans close to Cai directly pushed Liu Cong onto the stage, and then - surrender!

Liu Biao, who was in Xiangyang City, heard the news and spit out a mouthful of blood in anger. However, he was the one who released the power. Cai Mao dared to do this.

Thinking of him, Liu Jingsheng, who lived a brilliant life, he never expected that in his later years, he would fail to protect his family, marry an unvirtuous wife, and adopt an unfilial son. It was like a joke.

He forgot that his filial son had already been kicked out by him. After a few days of self-pity, Liu Biao died of a serious illness in Xiangyang City. It was directly surrendered under the control of the clan headed by Cai Mao.

Liu Jingsheng, the shepherd of Jingzhou, died of a serious illness. The news spread to Lu Bu's camp, which was even more shocking than Cai Mao's surrender. Liu Jingsheng, who was still alive and kicking not long ago, disappeared like this. Isn't it a false surrender?

He didn't relax his vigilance at all. After Lu Fengxian, who had taken over half of Jingzhou, arrived in Xiangyang, he looked at the rows of officials standing at the city gate and didn't know what to say.

He took the lead to enter the city gate with a blank face, and he dared not say a word when he suppressed the people outside Xiangyang City with the intention of killing. What's more, behind Lu Fengxian, the soldiers in armor all had cold expressions. The blood is generally frozen.

This is a soldier who came down from the battlefield, not the guards in their city who have nothing to do all day long. Fortunately, they didn't fight, otherwise, wouldn't they be sent to die in vain?

The officials who are used to being comfortable in Jingzhou, who have hardly seen such a scene, are now full of fear, especially those who advocate surrender, and are extremely grateful for their wise choice.

Judging by Lu Fengxian's appearance, if there is a fight, will they still survive?

Then Xun Yu, who entered the city, looked at the officials with different expressions, kept them all in his heart, and then smiled and said nothing. At this time, nearly half of the people standing at the city gate were greedy for life and afraid of death. You have to weigh it carefully.

Of course, those who begged to surrender in order not to cause disaster to the people cannot be ruled out. They can't see anything at the gate of the city. Let's think about it after really accepting Jingzhou's affairs.

Xun Yu is very familiar with such things as appeasing the people and winning people's hearts. Coincidentally, the people who were sent to Changsha brought back the news that Zhang Ji had drafted a letter of surrender after betraying Liu Biao, and was about to send someone to Lu Bu's place. .

After confirming that this machine is Zhang Zhongjing, the famous medical saint in history, Gu Qi waved his hand and sent him directly to Xiapi. The elder brother should be very happy to find this person for him.

The three genius doctors in Jian'an, except for Dong Feng and Dong Junyi of Xinglin Chunnuan, the other two were found by them, and they were equipped with manpower to study medical skills. Gu Qi can already see that the medical level here is gradually improving. of the future.

It just so happens that the elder brother is here, the collision between the genius doctors, the elder brother will definitely like it!

After all, it was Jingzhou, which was previously used as a place to avoid chaos, and it didn't take much trouble for Lu Bu to get here, and the lives of the people were not disturbed too much, so it didn't take much effort to appease the people.

For those who are able to recruit students in the territory, and those who cannot be recruited, they will set up academic officers in the local area, and invite those learned people who do not want to become officials to teach. There are so many talents in Jingzhou, and even Xun Yu can do nothing Don't want to waste talents like this.

With Zhang Ji's letter of surrender, Jingnan was quickly pacified. As a result, the seven counties of Jingzhou completely changed their surnames, and the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhou who had been fighting with Liu Biao hadn't reacted yet, they just ceased fighting After a few months, Jingzhou has already changed its owner, so, should he fight again?

Zhang Jin, the shepherd of Jiaozhou, has always had a feud with Liu Biao. The two have fought for many years, but because Jiaozhou has few soldiers, they have never won. What an idea.

Liu Biao is dead, can he still fight Jingzhou? Bar!

However, before Zhang Jin could gather troops again, his energetic subordinates rebelled first. While Jingzhou changed hands, Jiaozhou also became a land without owners.

After receiving the news, Xi Zhicai, who was still in Xiapi, immediately appointed a new Jiaozhou shepherd in the name of the emperor, and at the same time replaced the sheriffs of Zhongnanhai and Cangwu counties in the five counties of Jiaozhou with his own people.

When the other counties were not able to attack, Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, was not weak. If it was too much, it would not end well if his resistance was aroused.

Slowly infiltrating the manpower into Jiaozhou, Xi Zhicai still has confidence in the people he sent out. Once the two counties of Cangwu and Nanhai are in his hands, it will not be so difficult to take down the other three counties beside him.

However, when everyone was busy with the affairs of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, who had been fighting each other, suddenly ceased fighting and pointed their finger at Xuzhou, which was now empty of troops.

The north of Xuzhou is connected to Qingzhou. Due to successive years of fighting, Yuan Shao has quietly controlled Qingzhou in his hands, and made his eldest son Yuan Tan the governor of Qingzhou.

Lu Bu's development momentum is too great, even if there is no conflict with him now, he doesn't want to let Lu Feng grow bigger first.

After unifying the south, his Jizhou is next. Lu Fengxian wants to take down this great Han country, but his Yuan family disagrees.

They reached a consensus with Gongsun Zan for the time being, and they stopped fighting for the time being. Once Lu Bu made a move, neither of them would end well. It would be better to take advantage of Lu Fengxian's far away in Jingzhou and take his base camp in one fell swoop.

Lu Fengxian started his business in Xuzhou. Once Xuzhou falls, the turmoil will definitely be great. What's more, Xuzhou has developed so well in the past few years, and there must be a lot of food in stock. What's more, there is still a sweet pastry here!

Having seen the value of the emperor, Yuan Benchu ​​didn't want to see how much trouble the emperor would have with him. He could only see the benefits of taking the emperor over.

Cherishing one's life for doing great things, and dying for small profits, these words are not bad at all when evaluating Yuan Benchu.

When Emperor Xian was still struggling in Luoyang, his counselors advised him to welcome the emperor to Yecheng. He disliked that it was too troublesome for the emperor to do everything, and he was not free, so he asked Lu Bu to take advantage of the loophole to take the emperor to Yecheng. Xiapi.

And now, seeing that Lu Bu had done so many things with the help of Emperor Xian, he regretted not taking over the emperor back then.

Short-sighted and short-sighted, Yuan Benchu's weakness... I have to say, it is a fatal existence.

Because Lu Fengxian went first because he didn't listen to his subordinates' suggestions last time, so this time, when Tian Feng proposed to take advantage of the emptiness behind Lv Bu's western expedition to Jingzhou and raise troops to take advantage of the emptiness, Yuan Shao agreed directly.

The top can protect the emperor, and the bottom can save the people. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, although Lu Bu is now focusing on Jingzhou, it does not mean that Xuzhou, his headquarters, is "empty". Apart from soldiers, do Lu Fengxian have few generals who can fight?

Quite a lot!

Therefore, even if the situation seems to be critical and only those who have the ambition to guard Xiapi, the crisis is only temporary.

Besides, to reach a consensus with Gongsun Zan, Yuan Benchu's courage is also great. After fighting for so many years, now he can turn around and change his target without any defense. This "heart" is not comparable to others.

However, Yuan Shao is not Liu Biao after all, and Yuan Benchu ​​is not someone easy to dismiss after being able to occupy the north for so many years. What's more, Yuan Junzhong Ju appointed Tian Feng and other counselors, none of them are easy to fool.

It is precisely because of the counselors such as Jushou Tianfeng, Guo Tuxuyou, etc., that although Yuan Shao has no political talent, he still occupies the north. Clique.

On the one hand, he is cronyistic and values ​​his family status, on the other hand, he likes to listen to slander and confuse right and wrong, and can't distinguish between good and evil. , the villain was reprimanded, and Yuan Shao failed to unify the north due to internal disunity.

Guo Tu's trial match and Ju's appointment with Tian Feng can be said to be obvious opposites. Once the other party puts forward any opinions, no matter whether it is right or not, the other party will definitely oppose it. Words from people who do bad things.

Jushou and Tian Feng advised many times not to take Gongsun Zan lightly, Lu Bu wanted to fight, but Gongsun Zan also wanted to fight!

However, Yuan Shao didn't listen when he thought about it, not to mention Feng Ji who said that Gongsun Zan was already vulnerable now, and it was serious to take down Xuzhou. In this way, Yuan Benchu ​​didn't want to see Tian Feng anymore. .

It was you who suggested it, and he has already adopted it. What else do you want to do, just hit it, there are so many things going on there.

After fighting Gongsun Bogui for so many years, don't they know each other clearly enough?

Liu Yu is a soft bastard, he dare not do anything except guarding his one-acre three-point land, and he was forced to die by Gongsun Zan on his own territory in Youzhou. If I knew this, it would be great to form an alliance with him back then ?

Once Liu Yu died, Gongsun Zan didn't know where to go, and he didn't know what to think. He locked himself on top of a tall building, thinking that the thing he built was so strong, and sooner or later it would be set on fire.

To put it simply, if Yuan Shao wanted to burn it, he had to have that chance. Could the high-rise that Gongsun Zan built so hard be burned so easily?

After turning against Liu Yu, Liu Yu's old troops made trouble inside, and Yuan Shao's persistent blows outside, Gongsun Zan ordered people to dig ten trenches around Yijing's periphery, and then built many five-six-foot-long earthen platforms in the city. build buildings.

Probably because he wanted to isolate himself from the world, Gongsun Zan himself lived on the tallest tower in the middle, with an iron gate, and except for concubines, no adult men were allowed to enter.

What's even more absurd is that Gongsun Zan asked people to hang up with ropes for the letters and documents related to the prefectures and counties, and then hung them down after processing them.

Anyway, there is a lot of food in his city and the defense is tight, so it is not a problem to survive for a few years. As for what will happen after the food runs out, Gongsun Bogui said that he does not want to think so much now.

Therefore, instead of focusing on Lu Bu, who has almost unified the entire south, Yuan Shao is planning to give up on this opponent because Yuan Shao has been attacking Gongsun Zan for several years without success. After all, Gongsun Zan has shrunk himself into a turtle with limbs It is retracted into the tortoise shell, and it is impossible to fight, so why fight?

Since you, Gongsun Zan, have such an attitude, well, then they will have a truce first, and resolve the matter between them after unanimously speaking.

So, I thought that the lord of their family had finally figured it out, but in fact, it was just that this person couldn't gnaw on this bone, so he went to gnaw on another one.

Yuan Shao came from Qingzhou to attack Xuzhou. When the news came, Xi Zhicai immediately sent Gao Shun's troops in Yuzhou back to defend. It seemed difficult to resist Yuan Benchu's army with only the troops left in Xuzhou.

I have to say that the timing of Tian Feng's selection is really good. Most of Lu Bu's generals, including himself, are in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. Even if they know the news, there is no way to come back in a short time. As long as Yuan Shao can maintain this momentum Therefore, before Lu Bu returns, most of Xuzhou will most likely be captured by him.

However, Yuan Shao's weakness is too obvious, his subordinates are intriguing, and he himself is very suspicious. For Xi Zhicai, this is really good and cannot be better.

Temporarily evacuate the people of Langye County to the East China Sea, and at the same time send people to Yuan Shao's army to spread the news of deceit here.

Gao Shun, who was the closest, quickly returned to Xuzhou with his troops, and confronted Yuan Shao in Langye. As a result, Xi Zhi in Xiapi was a little relieved, and then sent the news of Xuzhou to Lu Bu.

At this time, Lu Bu was also on his way back to Xuzhou, handing over the affairs of Jingzhou to Xun Yu, and at the same time left Sun Ce, Xu Huang and others to assist. Lu Fengxian rushed back to Xuzhou with the elite cavalry he personally led.

As for Gongsun Bogui who had been using their food and grass, but now turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, Lu Bu sneered, naturally he would not let him go easily.

How can there be such a good thing if you get paid but don't do anything!

Send Zhao Yun to lead a team of soldiers and horses to detour from Sili to Youzhou. As for Yuan Shao, he can't leave easily when he comes. His city of Lu Fengxian is not so easy to take.

With his elite soldiers and horses, Lu Bu did not go back to Xuzhou with the others, but turned around and headed towards Jizhou.

If this still can't stop Yuan Shao's group of generals, Gao Fuyi, the Zhonglang general, should stop being a general and change!

Knowing that Lu Bu would not come back like this, and seeing that the current situation was still under control, Xi Zhi asked someone to bring a letter to Gu Qi, and then sent the scholars from Xiapi to part of Jingzhou.

Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao were probably too busy in Jingzhou, and the incident happened suddenly, so there was no other way.
