Chapter 10 The Wind Rises and Sends Troops to Yizhou (5)
"Shiyuan's plan is very good, the capture of Yizhou is just around the corner, but some are too eager, Liu Jiyu is weak and incompetent, but his command is full of talents, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song is resourceful, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan Yongguan three armies, if the army directly takes Chengdu, I am afraid that there will be unpredictable things!
After the lord enters Shuzhong, he can first make friends with heroes, gather people's hearts, establish his prestige, and work together with Liu Jiyu to repel Cao's army first, and then slowly plot to Chengdu is not too late, so it is foolproof!
Guanzhong is the nest of the Xiao family, operating like an iron bucket, even if the lord takes Hanzhong County, he can not go out of Yangping Pass, or run Yizhou for several years, and when the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, and then it is more appropriate to go out to the Northern Expedition!
In addition, when the lord attacked Yizhou, he could order a general to lead the Jingzhou soldiers to the north, attack Xiangyang and Wancheng, and then threaten Xuchang and Luoyang, so that Cao's old nest was panicked and forced Xiao Yi to return to the rescue!
Then send a messenger to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan to also send troops to the north to attack Hefei, Shouchun and other cities, so that Cao's army is attacked by the enemy, and there are beacons everywhere, even if it is Sun Wu and Bai Qi's resurrection, it is difficult to parry! ”
…………
Wolong and Feng Xiao are classmates and friends, and they often discuss the world's plans together, and they have equal strategic knowledge, and they have their own strengths in arranging troops, but their personalities are completely different!
The former acts steadily, likes to take every step of the way, and has to be considered repeatedly when he is sure; And the latter is bold, often winning in danger, and dares to gamble on three-point opportunities, even at the cost of his own life!
Steady people don't make big mistakes, and it is difficult to achieve great success, adventurers can achieve great success, but also easy to make big mistakes, it is difficult to determine who is high and who is low, it can only be said that Kong Ming is suitable for governing the country, Pang Tong is good at commanding troops for the commander!
"Soldiers, treacherous ways, how can you win if you don't take risks, in the past, Han Xinming repaired the plank road, secretly Chen Cang, lined up against the water, and fought to the death...... It wasn't a big win at the risk, so why should my generation be afraid? ”
"Han Xin dares to make dangerous moves, all because the opponent is a scheming person, Cao Thief is extremely treacherous, Xiao Lang uses soldiers like a god, and when he confronts such an opponent, he should only take it step by step, and he can't act rashly!"
"Don't miss the opportunity, don't miss it, don't miss the national event!"
"If you don't want to go fast, it's counterproductive, and the chick will spoil the country's major affairs!"
"You! You! …… I? I? ”
The strategy he painstakingly designed was vetoed, and Pang Tong immediately argued, Kong Ming has a gentle personality, but he also has a stubborn side, insisting on his own strategy step by step.
In this way, the two of them quarreled with each other, arguing with red faces and red ears, and even the nickname when they were studying was called out, and everyone present laughed at each other.
In the past, when discussing military affairs, Kong Ming and Pang Tong often had disputes, but every time Xu Shu came forward to mediate as a big brother, and then learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses to reach a perfect plan!
Now Xu Shu can't save his mother, but was pit to the Western Regions, and no one reconciles the contradictions between Wolong and Fengxiao, which will inevitably cause internal differences of opinion, which will affect the plans of Liu Bei Group!
"The two gentlemen are the right-hand men of Bei, and what they say is a clever plan and good words for the country, and they should be prepared to follow the flow and act one by one...... Don't argue, don't argue!
Zizhong listened to the order, and immediately brought a batch of generous gifts to Chengdu to meet Liu Zhang, telling the brothers' intention to form an alliance, and at the same time pay attention to the situation in Yizhou, visit more heroes, and don't be stingy with gold, silver, and jewelry! ”
"No!"
"Zifang listened to the order, immediately went to Wu County, met Sun Quan's statement, and persuaded him to send troops to attack Jianghuai, and after the matter is completed, this emperor's uncle will play the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and give him an official to enter the knighthood, and divide the territory!"
"No!"
"The rest of the civil and military officials, seize the time to train the soldiers and horses, gather more grain, grass, ordnance, and prepare for a large-scale expedition, the day Xiao Yi attacks Hanzhong, that is, when we start!
At that time, Uncle Benhuang, Shi Yuan, the third brother, Zilong, and Wen Chang led a group of men and horses, entered Sichuan and went straight to Chengdu; Kong Ming, the second brother, Feng Er and others stayed in Jingzhou, sent troops to attack Xiangyang and Wancheng, and harassed the rear of Cao Thief! ”
"No--No!"
In the end, Liu Bei came forward to quell the dispute between the two strategists, it seemed that a bowl of water was flattened, but in fact, between taking steps and winning at risk, he was still more inclined to the latter, so he entered Sichuan and brought Pang Tong, but let Kong Ming stay in Jingzhou!
The reason is also very simple, Liu Bei is fifty-two years old this year, his hair is gray, his teeth are loose, his body and energy are not as good as before, according to the saying 'people live fifty and die young', he is a genuine old man.
There is not much left in his life, and the time he can struggle is even shorter, and the heir is still young and ignorant and cannot bear this burden, so Liu Bei must seize every opportunity to create the Huangtu hegemony as soon as possible, even if it is a dangerous move?
After the arrangement was completed, Liu Bei led everyone out of the lobby and went straight to the backyard of the mansion, ready to pay homage to Mrs. Gan, hoping that Mrs. Gan would be blessed by the spirit of heaven, so that he could win Yizhou in one fell swoop and achieve hegemony as soon as possible!
………………………………
"Listen to my praise and admiration today for the Bodhisattva Mahasattva, in the ten worlds, there is now an incredible power of divine compassion to save all sins and sufferings!
After I have extinguished, you and other bodhisattvas and monks, as well as the heavenly dragons, ghosts, and gods, will make it convenient for you to protect the scriptures, so that all sentient beings can attain nirvana and happiness............"
The backyard of the state pastor's mansion -- the mourning shed was set up, the crying was bursting, white flags and white tents were hung everywhere, even the furniture, trees, and wells were wrapped in white cloth, and the breeze was full of strong sandalwood fragrance.
Dozens of monks wearing crowns and gilded robes sat in front of the mourning hall and recited the Diamond Sutra to surpass the undead - not to fall into hell and to ascend to bliss as soon as possible!
Three years ago, Cao Cao and Xiao Yi destroyed Buddha in the Central Plains, demolished hundreds of temples, forced tens of thousands of monks and nuns to return to the laity, confiscated the temple's land and distributed it to the poor people for farming, and melted countless metal Buddha statues and recast them into coins to enrich the treasury, which was a feat for the benefit of the country and the people!
And those monks and nuns who were unwilling to return to the vulgar and had no livelihood poured into the Jingxiang area in large numbers, and Liu Bei had always been against Cao Cao and Xiao Yi on the political line, so he accepted these people down to prove his benevolence!
As a result, in just a few years, there were hundreds of temples inside and outside Gangneung City alone, thousands of monks, and countless believers...... And the number of soldiers, land, money and food needed for the war has decreased sharply, which makes Liu Bei regret it very much, but it is a pity that the wood has been completed, and it is too late to regret it!
In the middle of the mourning hall, there is a large black lacquered coffin, it is very hot in the early summer in the south, in order to prevent the corpse from decomposing, special spices are placed inside, and ice cubes are placed outside, which are changed once an hour......
"Woo woo - you and I have been together for more than ten years, and the friendship is like a biological sister, I didn't expect you to go first, who will talk to me in the boudoir from now on?"
"Sister go on the road with peace of mind, vote for a good family in the next life, don't forget your sister, I will take care of my husband and Adou-woo!"
…………
Mrs. Mi led a group of attendants, responsible for the sacrifice of the funeral shed, and knelt next to the coffin, tears fell down in pairs, and her eyes were swollen like two small peaches, she was really heartbroken!
In the past, when he encountered a defeat, Liu Bei ran first, and the two ladies hid in Tibet, were taken hostage several times, panicked day and night, and often slept together.
Now that Mrs. Gan has died, the saddest thing is not Liu Bei or Adou, but this Mrs. Mi, who is really worse than his wife...... No, it's still uncomfortable to die and my sister-in-law, and I can't wait to replace it!
"Burn incense--Shang Fang--Bow!"
Liu Bei and a group of civil and military officials, neatly arranged, burned incense and worshipped, and paid their last condolences to the deceased......
According to the records of the Zhou rites: the coffin of the Son of Heaven is sevenfold, the princes are fivefold, the doctor is threefold, the scholar is double, and the Shuren is single...... There are also strict regulations on the material, thickness, pattern, and funeral goods of the coffin, and it is a serious crime to exceed it, and it is a heavy punishment!
Liu Bei is the general of Zuo, the marquis of Yicheng Township, the leader of Jingzhou Mu, belongs to the first level of the doctor, Mrs. Gan is a concubine, and her identity has been downgraded by one level, and she should have used a double coffin, but in fact it is a leather coffin, a two-layer Nanmu coffin, and a two-layer Zimu coffin, and the thickness is more than eight inches, and the wood is collected from the Baiyue Manglin!
The interior of the coffin is painted with gold lacquer, drawing the patterns of the golden dragon and the jade phoenix, and decorated with red and green silk, and then fixing the coffin lid with gold nails and ivory nails...... These are the standards only for princes, queens, and princesses!
It can be seen from this that Liu Bei is ambitious, and he is not willing to be a general of Zuo and a marquis of Yicheng Township, but hopes to be like Cao Cao, to be crowned a prince, rank among the princes, or even go further...... I am also surnamed Liu, why can't I inherit the ancestral business?
In fact, in recent times, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have privately persuaded several times, hoping that the eldest brother will establish himself as the king, so as to call on the heroes of the world to crusade against the Cao thief who violated the iron law of Gaozu, but Liu Bei refused!!
Liu Bei didn't want to be the king, but felt that the time was not yet ripe, and his strength was also lacking, at least after taking Yizhou, he would play a set of 'three persuasions and three resignations' tricks, so that he could officially call the king No, as for whether there is an emperor's holy decree, it is not very important - in troubled times, the strong is the king!
However, before sending troops, Liu Bei still has one more thing to do, that is, to choose a piece of feng shui treasure land for Mrs. Gan, so that she can go to the earth in peace, so that he can go on an expedition with peace of mind......
