If Jiang Wan hadn't had a choice, he wouldn't have come out to say these words.

I saw Gao Shun say lightly: "Since Master Jiang has this confidence, then follow what you say." However, if you don't see 30,000 soldiers in a month, you will have to be dealt with by military law. ”

Jiang Wan arched his hand and said, "My lord, if you can't finish it." Humble duty! Nothing to do with others! ”

Jiang Wan's official position was promoted by Pang De, and there is Pang De's credit for success, which is what Jiang Wan should do. If he fails, Jiang Wan will not implicate Pang De.

After hearing these words, Pound's impression of Jiang Wan in his heart directly rose several notches, and this kind of talent who knows how to repay his kindness is worthy of Pound's promotion.

Since Jiang Wan was so confident, Gao Shun would not doubt it, and immediately gave Jiang Wan a chance to prove himself.

If Jiang Wan wants to stand out in the Shenwu Imperial Court, he must have good results. And recruiting 30,000 troops in a month is the challenge that Jiang Wan gave himself.

Seeing that Jiang Wan had the confidence to do this, everyone else fell into deep thought, could Jiang Wan really have a way to complete this thing that others seemed to be unable to complete?

While everyone was thinking, Gao Shun announced the adjournment of the meeting, and everyone returned to their posts.

In the main hall, only Gao Shun, Ma Liang and Pang De were left.

Gao Shun specially asked Pound to stay.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Gao Shun said to Pang De: "Ling Ming, Your Majesty has a will to hand it over to you." ”

Pang De immediately sat upright, just now he was still thinking about why Gao Shun wanted to keep him, it turned out that Liu Yu had a will to give him.

Gao Shun took out a simple piece of paper from his close-fitting place and handed it to Pound.

Pang De took it respectfully, and with such a cautious look, it was estimated that Liu Yu had a very important task to hand over to him. Pound looked at Gao Shun and didn't know what Gao Shun knew what was written in it.

Gao Shun understood what Pang De meant, and said: "Your Majesty tells you to destroy it immediately after reading it, except for you, the rest of the people cannot know, Ji Chang and I will assist you in completing Your Majesty's will." ”

Pound nodded solemnly, and he gently opened the paper to look at it carefully.

After reading it, Pound took the paper to the brazier and lit it and destroyed it.

"General Gao, the last general will do it in accordance with His Majesty's will now, and ask the general to give the last general five thousand elites and the five days of food and grass they need." Pound arched his hand.

"Ji Chang, you go down and prepare. Be sure to prepare the necessary orders as soon as possible. Gao Shun commanded Ma Liang.

Of course, Ma Liang didn't say anything, and immediately set off to prepare.

After Pang De saw Ma Liang leaving, he whispered to Gao Shun: "General Gao, Your Majesty's plan can only be known to you and me. ”

Gao Shun is very serious. He didn't know what huge plans Liu Yu had for being so mysterious.

But when Gao Shun listened to Pound's words, the dead face that he had always maintained changed several times.

"If this plan is successful, Liu Bei can only be trapped in Yizhouer!" Gao Shun affirmed Liu Yu's strategy.

Pound said: "General Gao, you and I must cooperate tacitly." ”

Of course, this is no problem, Gao Shun can distinguish the priority.

Gao Shun and Pang De began to carry out Liu Yu's plan without telling everyone.

The matter of changing the main general in Jingzhou, Liu Bei of Yizhou and Sun Ce of Jiangdong are all paying attention.

As soon as Sun Ce heard that Jingzhou would be dominated by Gao Shun in the future, his face became very ugly.

As a military general, Sun Ce knows about trapping the camp, and Sun Ce can't forget that kind of terrifying combat effectiveness.

From his own intelligence, he learned that Gao Shun was a calm and outrageous person, and there was Liu Yu's ace army "trapped in the camp" under his hands. How powerful the combat power of the "trapped camp" is, Sun Ce knows. A long time ago, Liu Yu was able to compete with the top princes in the world, and he contributed a lot to the "trapped camp".

With such a person sitting in Jingzhou, it will become very difficult to attack Jingzhou in the future.

But Sun Ce's focus is now on the southeast of the Yangtze River, and Jingzhou can only continue to pay attention. Sun Ce also didn't have much strength to stretch out his influence to Jingzhou. At the same time, the Shenwu Imperial Court and Jiangdong are now in a state of confrontation, Jiangdong is on the defensive, in this case, Sun Ce will not take the initiative to provoke Liu Yu. Strengthening himself is now Sun Ce's best choice.

Only when the strength in his hand is strong enough, can the waist pole be hard, Sun Ce knows this truth very well.

Liu Bei of Yizhou paid more attention to Jingzhou. Jingzhou's chief general was replaced by Gao Shun, and Liu Bei's face became unsightly.

People in the world don't seem to be familiar with Gao Shun, but it doesn't mean that princes like Liu Bei don't know. Gao Shun's reputation is not obvious because he is relatively low-key, and Liu Yu rarely uses him. Once Gao Shun was used, Liu Bei knew that Liu Yu was going to be serious.

Liu Bei spent a lot of time studying his opponents, studying how Liu Yu rose and how he behaved before he made various moves. Slowly, Liu Bei really figured out a certain routine. For example, as long as Liu Yu uses Gao Shun, it is the time for Liu Yu to start making a big move. Now that Gao Shun has arrived in Jingzhou, doesn't it mean that Liu Yu is going to make a move on Yizhou?

Not only Liu Bei thought of it, but Xu Shu, Liao Li and others all thought of it.

In the hall of the state governor's mansion in Yizhou, Liu Bei convened all the civil and military affairs to discuss major matters.

Liu Bei was dressed in a gorgeous Shu brocade costume, wearing a Liu crown, and sat on the main seat with majesty, scanning the many civil and military people in the audience.

After the last big victory, coupled with Liu Bei's special publicity, Yizhou at this time can be regarded as all surrendered to Liu Bei's feet. Liu Bei has been full of spirit and complacent in the past few days, and began to fantasize that he would take Yizhou as the foundation, hoard troops, and finally march into Guanzhong or Jingzhou, achieve a great cause, and finally set foot on the peak of life.

In this way, Liu Bei's state is very good, too good.

"Military advisor, after Jingzhou was defeated by the army led by you, Liu Yu was frightened, and now he replaced Pang De and Gao Shun. Although this person is not famous, he is very difficult to deal with, I don't know if the military advisor can have a countermeasure? Liu Bei set his eyes on Xu Shu's body and asked majestically.

As a military advisor, Xu Shu sat at the head of Liu Bei, and as soon as he heard Liu Bei ask him, Xu Shu immediately came out and said: "My lord, our army has now arranged heavy troops at various checkpoints in Yizhou and Jingzhou, and I can know any movement in the direction of Jingzhou." It can be guaranteed that if Jingzhou wants to break through the defense line arranged by our army, it needs at least 200,000 troops! ”

After some arrangement, Xu Shu has such confidence. Yizhou was originally a dangerous terrain, and it was located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the river was rugged, so Jingzhou could not march upstream. If the infantry attacked, relying on the strong city defense, Xu Shu believed that any army should consider whether its logistics could hold up.

"Gao Shun, as the lord said, is the most low-key general under Liu Yu, this person does not move, and if he moves, he is thunderous. He had secretly sent spies to secretly monitor Jingzhou's movements. ”

"The military advisor has a very deep plan, which is exactly what I want! Yizhou is my foundation, and we need to be cautious! "Yizhou is as stable as Mount Tai, and the happiest is Liu Bei.

At this time, Wei Yan stood up and said, "Big brother, little brother thinks that we need to contact Jiangdong. Now that Liu Yu is powerful, Jiangdong and I, Yizhou, are both suppressed by him, and it is easy to be broken by Liu Yu one by one. Although there was an alliance before, it was not possible to keep in touch with each other. ”

For Wei Yan's statement, Liu Bei and the others were surprised. If these words come from Xu Shu and Liao Li, such a literati would be considered normal in their mouths. But it is indeed rare for Wei Yan to have such a mind as a military general.

"What the chief said is very true. It's just that Jiangdong Sun Ce has been scared out of Liu Yu's courage, and he won't do anything to Liu Yu in a short time. Liu Bei saw it very clearly.

Judging from the current situation, even if Yizhou has the strength to send troops, it has a huge problem. If Liu Bei dealt with Liu Yu alone, he would not be able to succeed at all on the books. So if you want to make a difference, you must join forces with Koto. What's more important is that Sun Ce of Jiangdong first made a move on Liu Yu to attract huge firepower, and then Liu Bei sent troops, so that Liu Bei could get the greatest benefit.

Obviously, if the two join forces, Sun Ce also wants Liu Bei to make the first move.

Xu Shu stood up and said, "My lord, in my opinion, I need to send a man who can speak well to Jiangdong to discuss with Sun Ce about jointly sending troops. ”

"We are waiting for the proposal, and what the military advisor said is very true!" Everyone else felt that what Xu Shu said had to be done.

"Who, then, can take on this task?" Liu Bei also agreed, but the stakes were high, and it was a big question who would go.

Liu Bei glanced at all the people present. Xu Shu is a military advisor, and his position is important, so he can't go. Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Liao Li and others are capable, but Liu Bei can't do without them now. For a while, Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, if only someone recommended himself.

Many people hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Liu Bei. It's not that they don't want to share Liu Bei's worries, it's just that going to Jiangdong is a chore. The more convenient road between Yizhou and Jiangdong is separated by a Jingzhou. It is impossible to pass through Jingzhou undetected. Then it is necessary to change the reason, climb over the mountain path, and brave the threat of snakes, insects, tigers and leopards to reach Jiangdong. Whichever option you choose, your life is at risk. Merit is a small thing, but life is more important. At the same time, they don't dare to rashly recommend others, if others think that they are harming him, wouldn't it be bad.

However, there are still people under Liu Bei who are not afraid of death, and I saw Yi Yuan striding out and saying to Liu Bei with a resolute face: "I wish to share the worries of the Lord." ”

Yi has eloquence, and it was he who persuaded Liu Zhang in the first place.

Liu Bei was satisfied with the self-recommendation of Mao Sui, and said with a touched face: "Ji Bo is really my confidant. Thou hast gone to Koto this time, and I have appointed you as the Lord! ”

No one objected, and the Iraqi risked their lives to go to Jiangdong, of course, they had to have some identity, and it was absolutely feasible to go as a master.

Yi was promoted, and immediately said excitedly: "I will definitely not disappoint the lord in the future." ”

"Lord, Ji Bo is going to Jiangdong, the road is dangerous, the road is difficult, I think that General Fu Shiren will lead the men and horses to escort forward, it can be safe!" Xu Shu also admired the Yi nationality very much, and pushed Fu Shiren, who had a good relationship with the Yi nationality, to push it out, after all, the two of them also cooperated last time.

"The military advisor has thought about it! Just as the military advisor said! Liu Bei immediately approved Xu Shu's suggestion.

After Yi Yuan and Fu Shiren were ready, they embarked on the road to Jiangdong under the farewell of Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others.

It's just that Liu Bei didn't know that Fa Zheng and Zhang Song looked at the backs of Yi and Fu Shiren, and a trace of cruelty flashed in their eyes.

Jiangdong and Liu Bei reached a joint dispatch of troops, which was bad news for the Shenwu Imperial Court. Now that Liu Bei took the initiative to send Yi and Fu Shiren to Jiangdong, then Zhang Song and Fa Zheng could not let Liu Bei get his wish.

Yi Zhi and Fu Shiren led a dozen soldiers to pretend to be a caravan, trying to pass through the checkpoint in Jingzhou under such a disguise.

But after leaving Yizhou, Yi and Fu Shiren found that Liu Jun's checkpoint was very strict with the search of businessmen who came and went. If you find contraband, take it down on the spot. If there is resistance or bribery, Liu Jun's soldiers would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

Yi Yuan and Fu Shiren's hearts are tight, they can have the relevant documents to go to Sun Ce's union, if they are found, this little life is still there?

After thinking about it for a while, Yi Yuan and Fu Shiren still gave up the idea of getting by.

If you can't pass through the territory of Liu Jun in Jingzhou, you can only get to Jiangdong by crossing the mountain trail.

But they chose such a path, but it was nine deaths and one life.

Yi and Fu Shiren walked on the mountain path.

The mountain road is long, and the greenery is verdant, which is a beautiful scenery. Fu Shiren and Yi Ji didn't have a good mood to appreciate.

Fu Shiren said with a little emotion: "Uncle Ji, you said that it will take a lot of time for us to go to Jiangdong this time." ”

"For the sake of the lord, even if it is a lot of hardship? General Fu, let's be careful this time, we don't know how much danger there is here. "I don't know why, I'm always a little uneasy in my heart.

Fu Shiren thought it was true, they were just a little bit of a person, it was good that there were no major problems along the way, but once they were discovered by Liu Jun, they might all be finished.

In the woods on the road of Fu Shiren and Yi Yuan, there were dozens of people with masked faces staring at them coldly. The person in the lead was even more gloomy, and said coldly: "Kill!" ”

Dozens of people took out bows and arrows and shot feather arrows at Yi and Fu Shiren.

Fu Shiren, Yi and the others were hit by the rain of arrows, and they knew that they had encountered an ambush. These people brought by Fu Shiren were all Liu Beijun's elites, and the damage of these feather arrows to them was very limited.

"Kill!" Dozens of people rushed towards Fu Shiren and Yi with swords.

"Enemy attack!" Fu Shiren pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted loudly.
