Chapter 31: Watching the Tiger Fight in Hebei (2)

Liu Bei respects Zhuge Liang as a god, since he took Jingzhou, many celebrities in Jingzhou have come to meet each other one after another, the four brothers of Ma Liang of the Ma family, Liu Biao's former ministers Wang Ji, Han Song, Yi, and the original generals of the four counties of Changsha, such as Huang Zhong, Huan Kai, Gong Zhi, Zhao Fan, etc., for a time Liu Bei's subordinates were a little too much to use.

Zhuge Liang said: Lord, now that Jingzhou is full of talents, the lord should arrange the work of these people in a timely manner, on the one hand, the morale is sluggish, which is not good for Jingzhou!

Liu Bei said with a smile: What the military advisor said is extremely true, everything depends on the military advisor, but when will they take Xiangyang?

Zhuge Liang said: Don't worry, we have a foothold in Jingzhou is not stable, don't '' too quickly, Xiangyang is Cao '' general Cao Hong, although the Cao army is defeated, there are still a large number of 'elite' sharp, although they have a little success, they can not compete with the Cao army independently, the last time the lord was a little contemptuous of Jiangdong, I am afraid it will be difficult to take Xiangyang with the strength of a family!

Hum! Zhang Fei snorted coldly: Little Xiangyang, you don't need many people, only give 10,000 horses, and guarantee to take Xiangyang!

Ma Liangdao: The three generals should not be underestimated, Cao Hong is the general of the Cao army, and he has followed Cao 'Cao' for many years, and Cao 'Cao' can put him in Xiangyang and form his outstanding points.

Liu Bei laughed and said: The third brother is brave, the eldest brother is very pleased, since the third brother has this ambition, the eldest brother will give you 10,000 horses to help you take Xiangyang!

Lord! Zhuge Liang persuaded him. Liu Bei stopped and said: The military division is strategizing, and when he is on the field, he will listen to it once this time, and promise to take Xiangyang! Hahaha\\

Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly when he learned that Sun Quan was defeated and his 50,000 army was lost. Lu 'Meng' said: Du Du, the lord is jealous of the victory in Chibi, and he raised an army to attack He' Fei, this defeat, he should understand that Jiangdong is inseparable from Du Du!

Zhou Yu shook his head: Ziming is wrong, you still don't understand our lord, the first lord is determined to attack and fight 'sex', our lord is scheming, I'm afraid he will hate this defeat again, this Jiangdong is really a little bit unbearable!

No way? Lu 'Meng' looked at Zhou Yu: Wherever the governor goes, he will go!

Zhou Yu smiled and patted Lu Meng's shoulder: Has Liu Bei's letter been delivered, how can he reply?

Lu 'Meng' said: Liu Bei is a coward, and he made it clear that he would not come, although Liu Bei did not come, but he heard that he was preparing to use troops to Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang kept persuading him!

Xiangyang? Zhou Yu emphasized: Cao Hong, the guard general of Xiangyang, is Cao's '' favorite general, and Liu Bei's wisdom may not be Cao Hong's opponent, but this time it gave you a good opportunity, since Liu Bei didn't come, they would go to Jiangxia!

What does the governor mean? Lu 'Meng' asked. Zhou Yu smiled and nodded.

Cao 'Cao' returned to the army from Chang'an, and did not take the road of Tongguan and Luoyang. Instead, he crossed Lantian, came out of his facial features, and went straight to Wancheng. When he arrived in Wancheng, Cao 'Cao' personally wrote a letter to Cao Hong. Cao Hong read Cao's letter, and said with a smile: The prime minister is really like a god, three days ago he had already expected Liu Bei to come back to attack Xiangyang, so that everyone can get ready, and the general has just received the news that Liu Bei has 10,000 'elite' soldiers from Nanjun, led by Zhang Fei, and is coming here.

Everyone nodded. Wen Pingdao: Is Liu Bei like relying on 10,000 horses to capture Xiangyang?

Cao Hong smiled: Liu Bei is not able to measure himself, he thinks that if there are more cities in Nanjun and Changsha, he will already be invincible in the world, and he has come just in time, the prime minister has already ordered, and he can only hold on, not fight, and the prime minister will take Jingzhou again!

Liu Bei actually went out in person this time, took Zhang Fei over Dangyang, and arrived in Xiangyang immediately. The tall walls of Xiangyang can already be seen from afar. Zhang Fei shouted: Along the way, I didn't even see Cao Jun's 'Mao', presumably Cao Hong had already given up Xiangyang when he learned that they were coming!

Hehe\\ Liu Bei said with a smile: Cao 'Cao' was defeated in a battle, and Ma Chao and Sun Quan were attacked from both sides, and Li Hui seized the three states of Hebei, it can be seen that there is no longer any threat, so he can only shrink and defend, the third brother is very right, Cao Hong is likely to have given up Xiangyang.

Zhang Feidao: Zhuge Liang relied on himself to be from Jingzhou, and constantly 'inserted' his Jingzhou friends around his brother, big brother, you can be careful, see that Zhuge Liang is not a good person!

Liu Bei nodded: Third brother be careful, your brother's opinion is not hidden from you, it is Zhuge Liang who assists him, it is not as good as Zhuge Liang is using it, this can be seen clearly.

Guan Yudao: Big brother, the military advisor is strategizing and helping the others to take Jingzhou, how can they be used?

Liu Bei said with a smile: The second brother is too generous, Zhuge Liang is a relative of Liu Biao, why do you help? You are looking at the place in Jingzhou today without Zhuge Liang's friends, and you will understand after a long time.

Liu Bei's army set up camp under the city of Xiangyang and sent scouts to investigate the situation in Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, Cao Hong did not leave, but organized the remaining thousands of men and horses to defend Xiangyang, which surprised Liu Bei and felt that something was wrong. Zhang Fei said with a smile: Big brother is too worried, it must be Cao Hong who deliberately made a stubborn appearance, 'confused' and 'confused', wait for a while to find out!

From morning to night, Zhang Fei was already scolding and his mouth was dry, and Cao Hong just stayed in the city without any movement. Zhang Fei sent troops to rob the city several times, but was 'shot' back by 'chaotic' arrows. After tossing for a day, Zhang Fei came back in a daze, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he said to Liu Bei: Big brother, this kid Cao Hong is a turtle, no matter how you challenge him, he just won't come out, this guy is really consumed with us!

Liu Bei nodded: This has been expected, I just received the news that Cao 'Cao' is in Chang'an, using a counter-strategy to defeat Ma Chao, Cao Hong must be waiting for Cao Cao's reinforcements, so he can't shrink back.

So what to do? And he is here to consume, we can't! Zhang Fei said.

Guan Yudao: Big brother, why don't you write a letter to ask the military advisor?

Can't ask him! Zhang Fei immediately stopped: Zhuge Liang will definitely be very happy, he is watching how they fail, it is strange that he can help them!

Third brother! Zhuge Jun helped the soldiers to seize Jingzhou, why do you dislike him so much? Guan Yu was a little incomprehensible.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I just don't believe him!

Liu Bei stopped the quarrel between the two: It's not such a useless thing, it's better to think about how to take Xiangyang before Cao's 'Cao' reinforcements arrive!

Zhang Feidao: Big brother, lead the troops to attack directly early tomorrow morning! I don't believe that Cao Hong's defense has no flaws!

Cannot! Liu Bei said: Cao's '' army will arrive in three days from Chang'an to here quickly, that is, we only have three days, third brother, you will go to attack the city tomorrow, it is really not good, let's withdraw our troops!

Big brother rest assured! We must take Xiangyang! Let Zhuge Liang see, the three brothers can still fight well without him! Zhang Fei patted his 'chest' and promised!
