After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Liu Weiwan smiled and said: "Wenyuan, don't worry, I haven't arranged an errand for you, because there is another important use!" ”

Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that he was a general who was forgotten or even despised by the emperor, and it turned out that there was another appointment, which was really an exciting thing, and hurriedly made a salute: "Liao is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will not hesitate!" ”

Liu Wei immediately told his plan: "After my planning, the Guan Yu army stationed in Zhuyang has become a lone army, and the connection with Liu Bei has been completely cut off. Moreover, at present, Guan Yu also recognizes my orthodox status, and it can be said that half of Guan Yu's army belongs to our dynasty. But Guan Yu is a person who values love and righteousness, after all, he has eight friendships with Liu Bei, and it is impossible for Guan Yu to completely submit to our dynasty. Therefore, I was ready to send Wen Yuan to assist Guan Yu in attacking Liu Yu, and lead a team to join forces with Guan Yu, and use the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water to slowly assimilate Guan Yu's army and create a fait accompli. ”

"Your Majesty's plan is very good, but the minister and Guan Yu have never known each other, I don't know if I can complete Your Majesty's trust?" Zhang Liao asked his question with some hesitation.

Liu Biancheng smiled in his chest: "Wenyuan, don't worry, you and Guan Yu are both from Bingzhou, and I believe that you will soon become confidants." And Guan Yu's daughter Guan Yinping has become my daughter-in-law, the wife of Liu Yu, the king of Lujiang, everyone is a family, you have arrived at Guan Yu's camp, just let go of your hands and feet. ”

Zhang Liao no longer hesitated, and immediately surrendered his hand: "Since Your Majesty has already taken precautions, what concerns do the ministers have?" Tomorrow you will do what you do! ”

Zhuge Liang hugged the fan and took the initiative to ask: "On the ability to deceive people's hearts, Liang is still worth using, and I am willing to go to Guan Yu's camp with General Wenyuan to see the opportunity to act." ”

"Haha...... Kong Ming's three-inch incorruptible tongue is difficult to argue. With you going, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! Liu Wei laughed and agreed to Zhuge Liang's request.

After arranging Zhang Liao, the ministers continued to drink heartily. It was not until late at night that the feast dispersed, and they said goodbye to the Son of Heaven one after another. They went back to the camp to rest.

At dawn the next day, when the sky was hazy, the horns outside Xiangyang City whimpered, the war drums rumbled, the flags covered the sky, the footsteps moved, and the armies of all walks of life went to their own places according to the plan.

First of all, Ma Chao, Qin Liangyu, and Wang Yiti raised 20,000 cavalry, and 20,000 infantry went north to Wancheng, preparing to meet Wei Qing and Tai Shici. Together, march to Qingzhou. Then Long He led 10,000 elite infantry to march in the direction of Jiangling, preparing to cross the Yangtze River to meet Han Shizhong and pursue Sun Quan in the direction of Guiyang.

Immediately followed by Yue Fei led the generals under his command to raise more than 100,000 troops, followed the pace of Ma Chao's army, and went north to Wancheng to prepare for the Western Expedition to the puppet Han. After Yue Fei's army left, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao led 10,000 horses to the northwest to join Guan Yu in the camp of Guan Yu in Zhuyang, and in the name of attacking Liu Yu, they implemented the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water and slowly assimilated Guan Yu's army. In the end, Jiang Song and Gao Xianzhi bid farewell to the Son of Heaven together and led more than 100 followers. went south to chase Wu Qi's army.

"Come on, bring Liu Yu's envoy up and hand it over to Guan Yu, and let Kong Ming and Wen Yuan take Liu Yu's letter and sell their favors to Guan Yu!"

Just when Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao came to say goodbye. Liu Wei had already prepared, and sent Liu Yu's letter and messenger to Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao, and took them as a meeting gift to Guan Yu.

Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao looked at each other and laughed: "Haha...... With His Majesty's greeting gift. The two of us will definitely be able to gain Guan Yu's favor soon. ”

Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying is already two months pregnant, and Xiangyang is Huang Yueying's hometown. Therefore, he no longer followed Zhuge Liang on the expedition. When he saw Huang Yueying, Liu Wei remembered Kong Ming's father-in-law, Huang Chengyan. When I think of Huang Chengyan, I think of Mr. Shuijing, Sima Wei and Pang Degong and other Jingxiang Confucians.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei smiled and said to Huang Yueying: "Jingxiang is so talented, Lingzun's friends are all over Jingxiang, Yueying, when you have nothing to do at home, you can persuade Lingzun's friends to come out, I will definitely make the best use of their talents and hire them exceptionally!" ”

"The concubine obeys His Majesty's orders." Huang Yueying smiled and agreed.

The horn sounded, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liao led their troops to the northwest and went straight to Guan Yu's Zhuyang camp.

In view of the fact that Sun Wuji, the chief of the Jingzhou assassin history, had not yet taken office, Liu Wei appointed Wei Zheng to continue to serve as the taishou in Xiangyang until the arrival of the eldest grandson Wuji and then returned to Xiangyang after the handover was completed.

At this moment, Wen Yang and Zhang Zhongjing and Sun Simiao, the two great miracle doctors, returned together, and after the worship was completed, Wen Yang played to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, after Mrs. Hu informed General Guan of the marriage between Miss Guan and King Lujiang, although General Guan was a little unhappy on his face, he finally agreed to the marriage. ”

Wen Yang took out Guan Yu's "reply post" from his arms as he spoke, and handed it to Liu Wei, which said Guan Yinping's birthday and Guan Yu's autograph, which is the so-called "marriage sticker". In this way, it means that Guan Yu has admitted this marriage, and the marriage between Liu Yu and Guan Yinping is already a sure thing.

"Very good, very good!" The corners of Liu Wei's mouth curled slightly, and Guan Yu's reaction was completely expected.

With Guan Yu's arrogance, if there is no foreshadowing from his previous one, God knows if there will be a "tiger girl can marry a dog", which would be too embarrassing. Now that the raw rice has finally been cooked into cooked rice, even if he Liu Da'er calls it every day, it doesn't work, and it shouldn't be called the earth!

Zhang Zhongjing played to Liu Bianyu again: "Guan Junhou is really a hero, and the poison on the arrow has infected Guan Gong's bones, and the surface is blue. Together with Mr. Sun, the minister cut open the arms of the prince and scraped the poison off the bones of the prince with a sharp knife. The prince and the marquis played against the generals without changing their faces, talking and laughing freely, I have been practicing medicine for half my life, and I have never seen such a good person! ”

Since then, Guan Yu's prestige has become more and more prosperous, Wancheng knife splits the vast sea, in order to let go of the Han Emperor who went to the meeting with a single knife to kill Wei Wensheng angrily, after five passes to kill six generals, scrape bones and cure poison and a series of heroic deeds spread all over the country, the world knows the name of Guan Yu's loyalty and bravery.

Why loyalty and not loyalty? Many people think that Guan Yu is greedy for fame and gives up the word for righteousness for the sake of a loyal character, and he is ashamed of his trust in his brother Liu Bei. If Guan Yu hadn't been standing still, maybe the Eastern Han Dynasty wouldn't have been able to take Xiangyang, and if he couldn't take Xiangyang, he would have fallen into the quagmire of war.

"I, Guan Yunchang, have a heart and blood for the common people in the world, first there is loyalty and then righteousness, first there is a country and then a family, why are you afraid of infamy behind you?"

Guan Yu stretched his relaxed left arm, stood under the hunting banner and looked at the west, and muttered secretly in his heart, "But in any case, Xuande is Yu's brother, and he agreed to live and die together in the peach garden back then, and Xuande is my eldest brother whenever he wants." I will never watch my eldest brother embark on the road of rebellion and end up with an eternal infamy! ”

"Prince, Prince...... The Han general Zhang Wenyuan and the military general Zhuge Liang led 10,000 horses to escort the grain and grass to arrive, saying that they wanted to assist our army in attacking Liu Yu and recapture Shangyong and Hanzhong! Fu Wei, who was patrolling outside, happily entered the camp, and reported the good news to Guan Yu before he could get off the horse.

After losing Shangyong and Hanzhong, the area of Zhuyang where Guan Yu is now located has become an enclave, and he only controls six or seven county towns such as Nanxiang, Yin County, and Wudang, with a population of less than 100,000, lack of strategic depth, and even worse, a lack of grain and grass, which makes Guan Yu frown, but he didn't expect the Han army to send food in the snow.

"Haha...... The icing on the cake has always been there, the charcoal in the snow is rare in the world, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty treats me and my brother really well! ”

Guan Yu was overjoyed, and personally led his eldest son Guan Ping, second son Guan Ling, and the generals Yue Sheng and Fu Wei out of the camp to greet them.

Zhuge Liang first handed over the letter written by Liu Yu to the Son of Heaven to Guan Yu for a look, and then ordered his own soldiers to escort Liu Yu's envoy to Guan Yu for disposal: "This is Liu Yu's messenger, intended to provoke the relationship between the prince and His Majesty, please dispose of it!" ”

After reading it, Guan Yu was torn to pieces, and said coldly: "Liu Yu, a guy with wolf ambitions, has failed his brother's expectations and conspired to rebel, what kind of loyalty does this kind of person have?" Since there is His Majesty's oracle and the reinforcements of the two generals Kong Ming and Wen Yuan, Guan vowed to conquer Hanzhong and capture Liu Yu's traitors alive, so as to snow the hatred in my heart! ”

Zhuge Liang suggested: "The marquis's arrow wound has not healed, and the weather is hot, so it is not appropriate to use troops at present, so it is better to temporarily camp the soldiers in the tomb, and wait for the weather to turn cooler before fighting Liu Yu." ”

"What Kong Ming said is extremely true!"

Guan Yu agreed, and then raised his troops to camp and entered Fangling City, a hundred miles to the southwest, and confronted Shangyong from east to west across eighty miles. While recuperating in the house, he sent a messenger to contact Liu Bei to discuss a joint crusade against Liu Yu.

The envoy went to Jingzhou to see the Son of Heaven to present a letter of surrender, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea and not returning, Liu Yu knew that something was wrong, and on the one hand recruited troops and horses to consolidate the defense, and on the other hand sent envoys to closely contact the Western Han Dynasty.

Within a few days, Su Bao, a minister under the command of Liu Xuan, the king of Fufeng, came to see Liu Yu in person, and after greetings, he went straight to the point: "Now Liu Wei has swept Xiangyang, and the Eastern Han Dynasty is in full swing." If the princes of our western kingdom can no longer work together, sooner or later they will be annexed. I have persuaded Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Jian and other major forces to agree to advance and retreat together to resist the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

"I am willing to be dispatched from the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to beg for food and usurp the traitor Liu Wei who is the emperor!" Liu Yu finally climbed the big tree, so he would naturally swear allegiance to the death.

Su Qin was overjoyed, and immediately said goodbye to Liu Yu: "With Liu Deyu joining, my Western Han Dynasty court is like a tiger with wings, and it will increase the chances of winning!" I will go to Yecheng to lobby Cao Mengde and reach a strong anti-Liu defense alliance. ”

After Liu Yu sent Su Qin away, Wei Wentong reported from Shangyong Xiushu, saying that Sun Ce's remnants Zhang Dingbian and Zhu Sheng led the remnants of 5,000 to cross the border, and they are currently stationed in Jianshi County, which is thirty miles away from Shangyong, and asked Liu Yu to make a decision, how to deal with it? Liu Yu discussed with Du Ruhui, and immediately rushed to Jianshi County to lobby Zhang Dingbian and Zhu Sheng.

Only then did Zhu Sheng and Zhang Dingbian know that Liu Yu and Liu Bei had turned against each other, but under the fence, the lonely guest and the poor army could not meet Sun Quan at all, so they could only temporarily attach themselves to Liu Yu, and Xu Tu planned later. (To be continued......)
