1074 Watching the fire from the other side
Liu Bei personally led an army of 300,000 people, set off from Chengdu, marched all the way east, and went straight to the White Emperor City!
At the same time, Wu Ban led an army of 100,000 in Jiangzhou and marched along the waterway of the Yangtze River, reaching Zigui on the east side of the White Emperor City first.
Jiangdong Sun Quan had already learned the news, and at this moment he was discussing with the ministers with a solemn expression, the total strength of Jiangdong was only more than 300,000, and Liu Bei launched an army of 300,000, plus the soldiers and horses in Wuxi, Zigui, Shangyong and other places, I am afraid that the total number has already exceeded 500,000.
Sun Quan never imagined that Liu Bei, who fled all day long, was so poor that he only had tears left to buy people's hearts, and he had to rely on Jiangdong from time to time, now he is not only the emperor, but also has such a strong strength.
Knowing this, he should have been, hey, Sun Quan was remorseful, and asked quite loudly: "Now Liu Bei led an army of 500,000 soldiers to Jiangdong, I don't know what is the best way for the princes to retreat?" ”
Everyone was panicked when they heard this, and people were panicked, and it seemed that it was not appropriate to fight or not.
Gu Yong was the first to come out and said: "King Wu, Liu Bei is powerful, you can't fight with him, you can send Zhuge Jin of Nanjun to negotiate peace." ”
"This can't be done, Zhuge Jin is the eldest brother of Liu Bei's prime minister Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid that I will surrender here!" Zhang Zhao said worriedly.
"Zhang Gong said this! Earlier, Zhuge Jin negotiated with Jiangdong many times, and he never had any objection, why did he vote for Liu Bei now? Gu Yong frowned and retorted.
"Liu Bei is not what he used to be, and his younger brother is the prime minister, who dares to guarantee that nothing goes wrong?" Zhang Zhao insisted.
"Don't quarrel between the two, Lone and Ziyu, there is a covenant between life and death, Lone does not live up to Ziyu, Ziyu will not live up to Lonely!" Sun Quan believed Zhuge Jin and said very fairly.
"King Wu, even if Ziyu goes to negotiate peace, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not be able to agree, at this moment, we should increase the troops in Nanjun to prevent the Shu army from continuing to move east." Lu Xun came out of the queue.
"Bo Yan is very lonely." Sun Quan nodded.
"If you want to retreat from the Shu army, when you unite the forces of all parties, you are willing to send an envoy to the Northern Wei Dynasty again to ask Cao Pi for support." Doctor Zhao said.
"It's okay, then I'll be annoyed with Mr. Lao." Sun Quan agreed, and then ordered to write down the document and let Zhao Zhi take it to see Cao Pi.
"King Wu, the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Lu Xun asked cautiously.
"But it doesn't hurt to speak!" Sun Quan said.
"Yiling important land, you should take it first, otherwise Nanjun will not be protected." Lu Xun said boldly.
Sun Quan was silent for a long time and said: "King Hanxing has married Jiangdong, and Wu Guotai is still in Yiling, how to take it?" ”
"Wang Baoyu and Liu Bei are sworn brothers, if they help Liu Bei, there is no chance of winning this battle." Lu Xun said.
"I have already thought about this matter, and with the temperament of King Hanxing, I will definitely not intervene in this battle, but only seek self-preservation." Sun Quan has long had his own judgment.
"At that time, the Shu army will press the border, and I am afraid that King Hanxing will not be able to help himself." Lu Xun was still not at ease, because in his opinion, Yiling and Jiangdong would not hurt Wu Guotai and the county lord, and it was clear that Sun Quan was unwilling to make this determination.
With Liu Bei's experience, Lu Xun was naturally reluctant to let Wang Baoyu return to the mountain, which became the climate. Seeing that Sun Quan didn't speak, Lu Xun added another fire and said: "When the Shu army is repulsed, you can return the Yiling to the king of Hanxing, it's okay." ”
Sun Quan was displeased, feeling that Lu Xun's hand was stretched too long, pointing fingers, which was annoying, and snorted: "I will repair a letter to the king of Hanxing, so that he cannot participate in it, if he finds any changes, he can raise the army of Nanjun and levy it." ”
Lu Xun didn't say anything more, he knew that Sun Quan would protect Wang Baoyu, and everyone understood this truth, and they didn't put forward any opinions on Yiling.
Sun Quan immediately announced that Lu Xun would still serve as the governor of the marching capital, and led 100,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river into Jiangxia City, ready to meet Nanjun at any time; He also ordered his brother Sun Huan, who led 50,000 troops, to camp on the south bank of the west side of Yidao, and closely watched every move of Zigui Wuban's army.
Liu Bei still officially sent troops in the end, Wang Baoyu said that he didn't care, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart, if the army with a total of more than 500,000 came to attack Yiling, I was afraid that there would be no tiles.
But Mo Qianxun changed his normal state and said confidently: "Baoyu, don't worry, although Liu Bei has hundreds of thousands of troops, in my opinion, there is no need to be afraid!" ”
"Chihiro, you were so worried last time, why has it changed now?" Wang Baoyu asked with a smile.
"Haha, it's not a secret, the person I was worried about before was really Kong Mingye! Kong Ming is a resourceful and decisive person, and he is loyal to Liu Bei, if he goes out with the army, the victory or defeat is unpredictable. But now that I learned that Kong Ming was left in Chengdu, with Liu Bei's wine bags and rice bags, I couldn't help it. Mo Qianxun laughed confidently.
"It's strange, Fa Zheng is dead, and the strategists in front of Liu Bei don't have a few available materials except for Mr. Kong Ming, why don't you take Mr. with you?"
Wang Baoyu was a little puzzled, Mo Qianxun was hesitant, and he didn't plan to tell Wang Baoyu the truth, that is, he used a trick to discord, and said vaguely: "Xu is Liu Bei's first ascension to the throne, the world is unstable, and Kong Ming needs to deal with the aftermath for him." ”
"That's really overkill." Wang Baoyu no longer pursued and asked: "So for now, what do you mean, we will stand still and wait and see to the end?" ”
"Having said that, Yiling is an important place in this battle, and I am afraid that our side will not move, and Sun and Liu may not be willing to give up." Mo Qianxun said.
"I don't care so much, whoever dares to enter the boundary monument we have set up, then turn his face and beat him, and immediately unite with the other party." Wang Baoyu already had an idea in his heart.
"Yes, that's right!"
While the two were talking, Sun Quan's messenger arrived and sent Sun Quan's handwritten letter, Wang Baoyu opened it and couldn't help laughing.
"Baoyu, I know that you are a treacherous person, and this battle will be determined to watch the fire from the other side, and there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I just hope that if you don't help Liu Da'er, you can sleep on your pillow. If Liu Da'er did that unrighteous act, he would definitely go all out to help Yiling, alas, who let my mother and sister be bewitched by you, and would rather live in danger than return to Jiangdong. ”
Wang Baoyu casually handed the letter to Mo Qianxun, Mo Qianxun read it again, and said with a smile: "Sun Quan also knows the current affairs, so he won't deceive you!" ”
With Sun Quan's guarantee, Wang Baoyu felt a lot more relieved, but he still ordered to go down and let the soldiers on patrol pay close attention to every move of Sun and Liu's armies, and they must not take it lightly.
Liu Bei led the army into the White Emperor City, convened everyone to discuss the next step of the march, and the military advisor Huang Quan said: "Shengshang, if you want to take Jiangdong, you must first take Nanjun, if you take Nanjun, you must first take Yiling." ”
Yiling!
Liu Bei was silent for a moment, he didn't know this truth, but even if he didn't remember the righteous relationship with Wang Baoyu, if he wanted to take Yiling smoothly, he was afraid that it would be more difficult than directly attacking Nanjun.
