At this moment, Liu Ba, Huang Quan, Dong He and others came together, Huang Quan gasped and said, "Shizi, you urgently summoned us over, what is the matter?" ”

Subsequently, Liu Yin, Deng Ai, Lin Yuan, Huang Xu, E Huan, Ju Fu, Fei Guan, Zhang Bao and others also rushed over.

Liu Chan said to everyone: "Everyone, something happened in Jingzhou!" ”

"Something happened in Jingzhou?" Huang Quan glanced at Guan Feng, whose eyes were slightly red beside Liu Chan, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Could it be that Jiangdong has invaded Jingzhou again?" ”

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Not yet, but it's almost there, at the end of last autumn, Lu Su was seriously ill, and Lu Meng was dismissed for violating military law, and now the scholar Lu Xun is the governor of Jiangdong Navy."

And after Lu Xun took office, he often wrote letters to praise the second uncle, don't you think something is wrong? ”

Liu Ba frowned and said: "Is the prince saying that Sun Quan changed the governor of Jiangxia to Lu Xun, and he deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, so as to lower General Guan's vigilance and attack Jingzhou again?" ”

"It's not just the Koto side!" Liu Chan groaned: "Xu Huang, the leading general under Cao Cao, is not in Guanzhong to command the troops now, but he has come to Fancheng!" ”

Liu Ba was shocked: "Xu Huang came to Fancheng? When did this happen? And Jiangdong changed the commander, such a big event, why not report it? ”

Guan Feng bowed his head and was silent when he heard this, he knew about it, Guan Yu and Pang Tong were now in charge of Jingzhou affairs, Guan Yu felt that the change of commander in Jiangdong was just a trivial matter, so he did not report it.

As for Pang Tong, he actually vaguely guessed that Jiangdong would invade again, but because of his self-confidence and desire to make meritorious contributions, he did not report the matter.

Pacifying Yizhou and seizing Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang established great merit, and now Zhuge Liang is participating in the Northern Expedition and has to make meritorious contributions.

And he sat on the cold bench in Jingzhou for a few years, but he wished that Jiangdong would come to attack, and he would destroy as many as he could, so that he could make meritorious contributions. If Liu Bei is notified, Liu Bei will increase his troops to Jingzhou, and then he will lose the opportunity to perform.

Although Pang Tong is a hero, he can't be truly selfless.

Over the years, Zhuge Liang has made many meritorious achievements, but Feng Xiao, who is as famous as Wolong, is unknown, and Pang Tong is also hot-eyed, wanting to take over Jingzhou alone and become famous in the world again.

It's just that Pang Tong didn't expect that now that Sun Quan and Cao Cao have joined forces and cast a net on Jingzhou, he can't reverse the situation at all with his own strength.

Huang Quan groaned: "Xu Huang is a famous general of the Cao army, Cao Cao didn't put him in Guanzhong, but he came to Fancheng, there must be something strange."

If Cao Cao really colluded with Sun Quan, the best way was to let Fancheng Cao Ren attack Shangyong, Cao Ren was good at defending, and Xu Huang was good at attacking, so it would make sense for Xu Huang to come to Fancheng.

Cao Ren divided his troops and asked Xu Huang to attack Shangyong, so as to force General Guan to send troops to attack Fancheng and implement the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. In this way, Jingzhou's defense force is insufficient, and Jiangdong will be easy to sneak attack. ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Cao Cao and Sun Quan have been planning since last year, and their conspiracy is definitely not something that can be resolved by the power of Jingzhou alone, so I decided to lead my troops to help Jingzhou!" ”

"The son of the world is not allowed!" Dong He immediately retorted when he heard this: "This matter is not trivial, you should send someone to inform the lord as soon as possible!" ”

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Father's Northern Expedition is a major matter, if you notify your father, it will definitely affect the morale of the army, and if you are not careful, you will never recover!" Not only can I not inform my father about this matter, but I also need to hide it and stabilize the morale of the army! ”

Liu Ba asked Liu Chan, "How does the prince plan to save Jingzhou?" ”

Liu Chan replied: "Cao Cao's conspiracy is to force the second uncle to send troops to attack Fancheng, and the key to the second uncle sending troops to attack Fancheng is that Cao's army needs to lead troops to threaten Shangyong, so I plan to lead troops directly to Shangyong."

If you keep the mediocrity, then Cao Cao and Sun Quan's conspiracy will be self-defeating! ”

Liu Ba nodded when he heard this, and said: "Shizi's analysis is good, as long as the mediocrity is not lost, then the second general does not need to send troops to attack Fancheng at all." But why do you need to go to the prince in person, you only need to send a good general? ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "Since Cao Cao set the mediocrity as the beginning of the conspiracy, then there must be other plans in the land of the mediocre, how can ordinary people break the situation?" ”

Dong He arched his hand and admonished: "Shizi, it is because of this that you can't take risks yourself!" ”

"That's it!" Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "You are loyal, I know it, but now that the situation in Jingzhou is turbulent, it can be resolved by very many people, and I must go."

Otherwise, Jingzhou is in danger, and my father will not only lose Jingzhou, but also the Northern Expedition, which will also be affected, and even ...... So I had to go.

Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion, Mr. Zichu, this time I went to Shangyong, and there is still a lack of a person around me to give advice, are you willing to accompany me? ”

When Liu Ba heard this, he said: "I wish to go with the son!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Liu Chan saluted Liu Ba, and then said to everyone: "After I leave, everything will be as usual in Yizhou, remember not to tell my father about my trip to Jingzhou, otherwise my father will be more worried about the situation in Jingzhou." When the situation is clear and the crisis in Jingzhou is resolved, it is not too late to tell your father. ”

"No!" Dong He, Huang Quan gave up his hand.

Liu Chan looked at Fei Guan again and said, "General Fei, there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Chengdu now, but I brought 10,000 barbarian soldiers from Nanzhong last year, and after a year of training, it can be regarded as having the strength to fight." This time, I went to Shangyong, led 15,000 troops, left 5,000 Han troops, and asked you to guard Chengdu! ”

"Don't worry!" Fei Guan gave up his hand.

Liu Chan took a deep breath, looked at Deng Ai below and said, "Without further ado, Deng Ai, I need to set off for Shangyong as soon as possible, these fifteen thousand soldiers and horses, led by you, bring Shangyong as soon as possible!" ”

"No!" Deng Ai arched his hand and said: "Within a month and a half, I can lead my troops to Shangyong!" ”

Chengdu is far away from Shangyong, the road is far away, you have to go north into Hanzhong first, and then enter Shangyong from Hanzhong, the road has more than two thousand miles, one and a half time to reach Shangyong, at least forty or fifty miles of marching a day, so that you can not carry grain and grass baggage, all the way only the wind and food and sleeping in the open march can be done.

But Liu Chan believed in Deng Ai's ability to reach Shangyong within a month and a half.

Liu Chan said to the others: "The rest, follow me to Shangyong, without further ado, you have an hour to prepare!" ”

"No!" The crowd surrendered their orders.

An hour later, Liu Chan and Liu Yin, Ju Fu, Lin Yuan, E Huan, Huang Xu, Liu Ba, Zhang Bao and other people, as well as dozens of light horsemen, gathered at the north gate of Chengdu, rode fast horses, and went straight to the north with fast horses and whips.

In the past three years, Liu Bei has built roads on a large scale in Yizhou, and now the roads in Yizhou are unblocked, but in three days, Liu Chan went north to Jiameng Pass.
