Chapter 917 Sun and Liu's allied forces rushed to the northwest
Seeing that Liu Bei lowered his posture and talked to himself so much, it can be said that Sun Ce's heart is indeed very satisfied.
What kind of person is Liu Bei, that is the left general of the Han Dynasty, the clan of the Han family, and the emperor's uncle who is recognized by the son today. It can be said that in many places, his reputation for Liu Bei Liu Xuande and Uncle Liu Huang is much more famous than his "little overlord", this is the real situation, not fake. Therefore, Sun Ce saw that Liu Bei lowered his posture so much, which was indeed satisfying some of his vanity.
It's still the same thing, people, there are a few people who really don't care about their face at all, and of course Sun Ce has no exception.
To tell the truth, you asked him to withdraw his troops from Jiangxia like this, and then go to attack Xiangyang, and after the last Xiangyang arrived, he had to give it to Liu Bei. To be honest, this transaction made Sun Ce feel that it was too much of a loss. But who made "the plan not change fast", this is not what he and his own people want to see, but now it is really happening.
So how do you let yourself, your best plan now is to listen to what Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng said, and directly lead the troops to Xiangyang, which is the best. But because he was very unwilling, he never said yes, and now that he Liu Xuande has relented, it seems that it is time for him to agree to send troops-
To be honest, after fighting in Qichun for so long, it's a pity that I didn't take advantage of it, to be honest. Sun Ce had long wanted to make another plan, but for him, he had always been embarrassed to say anything. You see, Liu Bei didn't say anything. Are you embarrassed to say anything? As a result, at this time, it happened to be the news that Cao Cao was leading his troops south, so Sun Ce finally found a good step and just let himself go.
However, about withdrawing troops and turning around to attack Xiangyang, Sun Ce understood that he would never be able to say it. It's best for Liu Bei to beg for himself, so it's good, and the result is the previous ones. And it really went according to his mind. Liu Bei really didn't let himself down, and finally lowered his posture and begged himself to send troops, hahaha. I finally got what I wanted.
Listening to Liu Bei talk about that to himself. To be honest, Sun Ce really didn't listen much. He only knew that Liu Bei lowered his posture and begged himself, this is enough, and the rest, don't he know Lu Dao. At least he Liu Xuande knows what he knows, and he basically doesn't know what he does, so what he says, he is really not interested-
But to show that I listened carefully. Respecting others, Sun Ce still couldn't help nodding. And also said, yes, yes, yes, and something like that, echoing Liu Bei.
As for Liu Bei, how could he not know that Sun Ce was simply talking absentmindedly and perfunctory, but now he has a request for others, so he can only continue to speak, but he does not dare to have any opinions. Otherwise, as soon as Sun Ce's temper came up, he would not move the place directly, and he would really want to cry without tears by then.
After the end, Liu Bei finally said everything he wanted to say, to be honest, when Liu Bei and Sun Ce were talking, it was actually Liu Bei who told Sun Ce. Although the voice is not very loud, to be honest, the people in the big tent can still hear a lot.
For Sun Ce's subordinates, Liu Xuande lowered his profile so much to beg his lord, which can be said to be a matter of double face.
But for Liu Bei's subordinates, they are a little embarrassed, the so-called king humiliates the ministers to death, and their lord is in such a posture, begging Sun Ce, but everyone below can't help at all, so they are really embarrassed-
And when his lord finally finished saying everything, Liu Bei and his subordinates were relieved, to be honest, if they couldn't finish it again, like those with a particularly bad temper, such as Wen Chou and Zhou Cang, I don't know what they would do. Will it be uncontrollable, and then it will be directly out of the big account, or ......
But it's okay, that is, it's finally over, and Liu Bei didn't pay attention to how his subordinates were, after he finished speaking, he asked Sun Ce directly, "I don't know how the general is, do you want to send troops to Xiangyang?" ”
Liu Beixin said, what you Sun Bofu wants, that's nothing more than these, it's a big deal that after occupying Xiangyang, I will give you some benefits, and the rest, even if you want it, you don't have it.
Liu Bei thinks that this is all he can do. He knew that Sun Ce was a smart person, so he didn't have to say much about what he wanted to do.
Sure enough, Sun Ce didn't speak, but kept a smile on his face-
Then I heard him say slowly, "Xuande Gong's intentions, I understand the strategy, but ......"
When Liu Bei and his subordinates heard this, they pinched their hearts, and said in their hearts, Could it be that Sun Bofu really wants to do something that is not beneficial to anyone, and he wants to shake Qi Chun and fight to the death with the Liangzhou army? If that's the case, leave quickly, this is not a heroic feat, but to die early, he Sun Bofu wants to die without anyone stopping him, but he can't do it himself.
Liu Bei said, "I don't know what the general means, do you have to fight to the death in Qichun?" ”
When Sun Ce heard this, it was rare for Liu Bei to be so nervous, and he decided that he couldn't joke with him anymore, otherwise it would be really, and it would be easy to have an accident. In fact, a lot of things are, just in moderation, and the same is true for jokes, it's almost enough, and if it's too much, then it's really going to happen, and it's really over.
Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "No, where did Xuande Gong go, in your eyes, is it the kind of person who doesn't know what to do and doesn't know how to advance or retreat." People who don't know the current affairs and don't know how to be flexible? ”
Sun Ce used four no's in a row to show that he couldn't be fighting to the death in Qichun-
And Liu Bei and his subordinates listened. It's a temporary relief. After all, Sun Ce, as a prince, is a man of his word, and since he can say so, then basically this matter is done. What he meant was that I would not let the army continue to fight to the death in Qichun, so if I was no longer in Qichun, I should naturally go to Xiangyang. Isn't it.
Liu Bei finally showed a real smile, this is definitely a sincere smile, which can be said to be very rare. It can't be said that Liu Bei is so wrong. At least Sun Ce was indeed a little unauthentic before, and he looked at what Liu Bei was like now. Anyway, he is also the left general of the Han Dynasty, a relative of the Han family, and the uncle of the Son of Heaven.
"This. What does the general mean? ”
Liu Bei asked with a little excitement. Sun Ce smiled, "Xuande Gong, now that Cao Mengde is moving south, the so-called 'dead lips are cold, teeth are cold', how can my Sun Bofu be the kind of person who doesn't know what to do?" ”
Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "The general's intention is to send troops to Xiangyang?" ”——
At this time, Sun Ce nodded, "Yes!" Now take advantage of Cao Mengde's lack of time to take care of Xiangyang. Our coalition army can be sent to Xiangyang. The so-called 'persimmon should be pinched softly', and now the Liangzhou army is strong. Qi Chunfei is not our army can be captured overnight, so it can be used to enter Xiangyang! ”
The last words revealed Sun Ce's firm belief, but he continued at this time, "And since Cao Mengde dares to move south, isn't he provoking our coalition army?" So if you don't give him some power, he doesn't know how many eyes does Lord Ma have, what does Xuande think? ”
Liu Bei smiled, "Exactly, exactly!" The general's words are also what I want to say, it seems that it is indeed 'the same as what the hero sees', hahaha! ”
At this time, Sun Ce was sure to send troops, and Liu Bei was even more stingy with a bunch of praise, and Sun Ce really liked to listen to it. Even if he knew that Liu Bei was pouring ecstasy on himself, he would not be easily fooled by him-
To be honest, if ordinary people said this to Sun Ce, Sun Ce would definitely think that the other party was slapping his ass.
However, who is Liu Bei and what is his status and status, although Sun Ce also believes that Liu Bei is suspected of patting horses, or in fact, this is the case. However, the difference from being so slippery and slapping horses is, first, Liu Bei's status and status, what he said is to satisfy himself, and secondly, Liu Bei patted horses, and people and horses were high-level sycophants, which was definitely not comparable to those low-level ones.
Let's just put it this way, a high-level sycophant and a low-level sycophant, like Sun Ce's question, of course he likes to listen to the former.
Sun Ce slapped the board, and heard him say at this time, "Everyone, after my discussion with Xuande Gong, after our army rested for a day in Qichun, we will enter Nanjun and go straight to Xiangyang!" ”
Everyone said in unison, "The Lord is wise! ”
It can be said that the vast majority of people, but they were waiting for this, and sure enough, they heard it from the mouth of Sun Ce (his own father-in-law) -
The so-called "a few happy and a few sad", some are happy and in a good mood, and naturally there are not very happy and in a bad mood.
Compared with most people who are in a good mood, Chen Wu and the others, they are in a bad mood at this time. Indeed, in their thoughts, if their lord did not move and continued to fight the Liangzhou army in Qichun, then they and others would have a chance to take revenge. But now, his lord and Liu Xuande have led troops to Xiangyang, so when will they fight against the Liangzhou army again, it is really not certain.
Sun Ce saw that some people were not in a high mood, of course he knew what was going on, and he could only say helplessly, "Everyone, now I am ...... the alliance."
Sun Ce told everyone what he thought was the advantage of entering Xiangyang. To be honest, those who don't want to enter Xiangyang don't mean that they don't know anything about it, but they really can't let go of their obsessions in their hearts. For this, Sun Ce really has no choice, unless he can break Qi Chun, or defeat the Liangzhou army, or it will be really difficult to solve this problem-
In this way, after a long time of discussion, it was finally determined that the next move of the Sun-Liu coalition army was to march into Xiangyang. As for Qi Chun, there is really no way, such a hard bone, you can only be willing in the future, or say you are unwilling, or ......
Anyway, there is no way to solve it now, Sun Liu Lianjun came to Qichun in high spirits, thinking that he could take it, but as a result, he left in disgrace.
After Sun Ce and Liu Bei let the coalition army rest for a day, they left Qichun with their troops and went to Xiangyang in Nanjun.
In the mansion of Qichun Ma Chao, the head soldier of the city said, "Report to the lord, the Sun-Liu coalition army is retreating to the northwest at this time!" ”
In the eyes of the soldiers, the Sun-Liu coalition army was retreating, and of course they didn't know the purpose of Sun Ce and Liu Bei.
When Ma Chao heard this, he retreated to the northwest? Ma Chao quickly stood up, and then came to the head of the city with the soldiers, and at this glance, it was indeed as the soldiers said, the Sun-Liu coalition army was retreating to the northwest-
But immediately, Ma Chao laughed, and he said in his heart, this is a retreat, and the division of troops is an advance.
If the Sun-Liu coalition army wants to retreat, it is impossible to go to the northwest, because the northwest is the territory of Jiangxia, unless it goes all the way to the northwest, it will be possible to go out of Jiangxia to Nanjun in the future. But no matter where the Sun-Liu coalition army goes, this is definitely not a retreat, but a march.
Ma Chao thought about it for a while, although he didn't know the specific purpose of Sun Ce and Liu Bei, but if he went all the way to the northwest, there would be Xiling City, in case Sun and Liu's coalition army took Xiling away. Of course, a Xiling City, Ma Chao is not so important, Qi Chun is what Ma Chao values, so Xiling can be lost, but Qi Chun cannot be lost.
Ma Chao hurriedly went down to the city, and then asked the soldiers to gather everyone. As soon as he told everyone about the situation of the Sun and Liu coalition forces, everyone suddenly realized, and finally knew what his lord had summoned him and others for.
Sun Ce and Liu Bei actually withdrew their troops, no, according to the route, they marched to other places, this, what are they going to do? ——
Guo Jia was the only one, and after Ma Chao asked everyone, he said directly, "My lord, no matter where the Sun and Liu coalition forces go, at least one thing is certain now, that is, they will not attack Qichun again." Because they fought in Qichun for a few days, but they didn't get any bargains, they weren't prepared to delay here any longer, so they went elsewhere! ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded, and then Ma Chao asked again, "I don't know what Feng Xiao thinks, what should our army do now?" ”
Guo Jia said, "Then it depends on what the lord is going to do?" ”
"What does it mean to be filial?"
"Does the lord want to keep Xiling City?"
And Ma Chao thought for a while, and then he said, "If the gains outweigh the losses, it is not impossible to abandon Xiling, as long as Wu'an and my sergeants are safe!" ”
Guo Jia nodded, and then said; "Then please ask the lord to send people to Xiling quickly, and General Wu'an can immediately lead his troops to withdraw by water. In this way, we don't have to fight with the Sun-Liu coalition army, but we can ensure that our soldiers are safe! ”
Ma Chao nodded, "According to what Fengxiao said, it's so good!" ”
Everyone also kept nodding, if they wanted to abandon Xiling, it would be the safest way to do so. (To be continued......)
