Chapter 117 Prelude
Liu Bei didn't ask in the end how to fight to the death, and Kong Ming only had one sentence about his strategy.
Fight to the death, only fight to the death.
From the beginning Liu Bei felt that he did not understand Kong Ming's meaning, but in the end Liu Bei was sure of Kong Ming's meaning.
"So Kong Ming, you're telling us to give all the initiative to Cao Mengde, and we can just show off the tricks?"
Liu Bei even couldn't believe it when he said this. They still couldn't compare with Cao Mengde, and now they had to passively wait for the opponent's attack.
This left him a little confused.
"Master, there is no need to worry, this is also the best way for us.
If we take the initiative to attack or make some preparations, then Cao Mengde can attack according to our arrangement.
Cao Mengde now occupies the Central Plains and the North, and most of the world has fallen into his hands. The soldiers and horses under his command are far more powerful than ours.
They are fighting all year round, and their elites are not comparable to ours.
Instead of losing ground at that time, it is better to wait for him to take the initiative to attack, and we will use the entire southern Nanyang as a battlefield, forcing Cao Mengde and us to fight..."
"Empty Nanyang!" Liu Bei really felt that Zhuge Liang's words were becoming more and more fierce every time, which was almost crazy. "Not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang now.
Even if we can persuade the people to migrate, I'm afraid Brother Jing Sheng won't agree!"
"I can't help but he disagrees now." Kong Ming's eyes became very sharp at this time, "Only when Liu Jingsheng is hesitant now can we have this opportunity.
He can no longer fall out with us. At the same time, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others must focus on stabilizing Xiangyang and uniting the powerful families in Xiangyang and even Jingzhou.
No one can care about me at this time.
Of course, if this alone is not enough, we still need to tell Huang Zu about this!"
"Huang Zu?"
"Although Huang Zu has suffered repeated defeats in recent years, and his prestige in Jiangxia has gradually been replaced by the eldest son, his status is still transcendent.
The most important thing is that Huang Zu has been stationed in Jiangxia for many years and is the leader of the main station in Jingzhou. It can also be seen that he has single-handedly prevented Kuai Cai and other families from persuading Liu Jingzhou.
What is the status of.
Now as long as we tell him about Xiangyang, then the two generals Guan Yu and Gan Ning can stabilize the situation in Jiangxia County.
Even though Huang Zu was unwilling to abandon Jiangxia, he understood the situation at this time and would definitely go to Xiangyang himself.
In this way, I can start my own thing..."
Zhuge Liang's plan was simple and clear. Guan Yu rode back to Jiangxia that day. At the same time, Zhou Buyi used Liu Xian's name to general Liu Jingsheng's deteriorating health and slowly spread the news.
The tension in Jingzhou suddenly skyrocketed, and countless people silently paid attention to the situation in Xiangyang.
After Guan Yu returned to Jiangxia, he was immediately intercepted by Yi Ji before he could return to Sha Xian, who took him straight to Jiangxia County to govern Xiling County.
Huang Zu and Liu Qi also have a veteran with gray hair and beard. Judging from the age, he is probably not much different from Huang Zhong, but he is something Guan Yu has never seen before.
In addition, there was Liu Pan who also came from Changsha. Guan Yu felt that this should be the person Zhuge Liang said was the main battler in Jingzhou.
It's really... quite shabby.
"Jun Huang brought Guan here, but he didn't know what he was doing..."
"Yun Chang!" Huang Zu was not polite to Guan Yu at this time and directly called his cousin, "Now that things have come to a close, you and I should stop pretending to be calm.
I’m afraid it was Liu Xuande who spread the news about Xiangyang. I wonder how true it is and how false it is?”
Guan Yu immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard that Huang Zu's tone showed no respect for Liu Bei, but he suppressed his anger after thinking about Zhuge Liang's instructions to him before he left.
"This is the news I got from Liu Wuling. How much true or false do Huang Fujun think?"
Hearing that the news came from Liu Xian, Huang Zu's expression finally changed. After looking at each other with Liu Qi, both of them had panic and anger in their eyes.
"General Guan!" At this time, Liu Qi also pretended to be calm and stood up. He wanted to show a smile on his face, but it seemed quite embarrassing no matter how he smiled, "I will introduce this old general to the general first!"
Liu Qi took the initiative to lead Guan Yu to the veteran general he had never seen before, and said with some admiration.
"This man is our famous general in Jingzhou, Lu Jie Lu Gong!
I think General Guan must have heard of Lu Gong..."
Guan Yu was really surprised when he heard Lu Jie's name. Although there was still no admiration on his face, he was quite curious.
After all, this person’s name is definitely...well...
"But Lu Gong who killed the Jiangdong tiger Sun Wentai?"
"It's me!" Lu Jie also said proudly at this time. He has only done such a thing in his life, but it is enough for others to brag about for a lifetime.
After all, Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger from Jiangdong, fought from the south to the north, and Yuan Benchu gathered countless forces from the Central Plains and the north, but Dong Zhuo fought them back.
But Sun Wentai relied on his own strength to defeat Hu Zhen, kill Hua Xiong, defeat Lu Bu, and defeat Luoyang. He was about to break through Hangu Pass and enter Chang'an to rescue the Han Dynasty.
In the end, he was beaten to death by Lu Jie with a stone!
At that time, there were only two famous generals in the world. Xu Rong, the famous general under Dong Zhongying, defeated all the heroes in the world, and Sun Wentai, the fierce general under Yuan Jiujiu, was rampant in the world and rarely encountered an opponent.
Such a person was eventually killed by him, and Lu Jie naturally looked proud.
However, after Guan Yu stared at Lu Jie carefully for a while, he finally asked an inappropriate question.
"Why has Mr. Lu lost his voice these years..."
"...." The already old Lu Jie's face darkened, "Recuperate!"
"Ahem, cough, cough..." Liu Qi coughed and interrupted Guan Yu, who wanted to ask more questions. "Let's get down to business. Since my father is seriously ill, I will naturally go to visit..."
"I'm afraid some people in Xiangyang won't let Young Master have such an opportunity." Guan Yu directly told Zhuge Liang what he said to him, "Then Cai Mao will definitely stick to Xiangyang now and won't let Young Master Qi have this opportunity."
/p>
If...if Mr. Qi really wants to go, it's best to make complete preparations."
After Guan Yu finished speaking, he bowed to say goodbye. Regardless of whether they tried to persuade him to stay, he strode out.
Liu Qi and Huang Zu didn't have any objections to this scene. After all, they had known each other for so many years, and they knew Guan Yu's virtues very well.
Liu Pan was a little surprised and said nothing more.
On the contrary, Lu Jie, who was a little embarrassed just now, snorted coldly.
