Chapter 55 Re Route Jiangling

The refreshing river breeze disturbs the hair, but it also inspires people's spirit, especially the sky and water in the distance. Looking at it, it is more refreshing.

The warships are marching, and the trend of Lu Qiang's thoughts is surging like a river.

How can Lu Qiang not understand Wang Zhen's evil thoughts? And he also has the same idea. Although he doesn't have much knowledge, how could he not know the allusion of Liu Bei's hegemony after occupying Jingxiang during the Three Kingdoms period?

However, ambition is important, but some things must be done, otherwise he will not be strong.

Wang Zhen evil is obviously a person who is not ambitious, otherwise, with his talent, he will not be reduced to the level of being the master book. Of course, there is a factor in his origin, and the current employment system of the imperial court is undoubtedly an important reason for restricting talents.

Zhou Kui has told Lu Qiang that Wang Zhen's evil grandfather is Wang Meng, the prime minister of the former Qin Dynasty, which is estimated to be one of the reasons why he has not been reused so far.

As the saying goes, there are three gangs of a good man. If Lu Qiang wants to achieve a career in this era, he must be surrounded by more people like Wang Zhenwei, no matter what his origin is.

If you want talents, first of all, you can't follow the practice of nine-grade Zhongzheng and heavy scholars, but at the same time, Lu Qiang also knows that this is a long-term project, and even now he wants to occupy his foothold, he has to use those scholars.

If all the warriors know what he is thinking, don't say that they will attack him in groups! It's not so easy for him to gain a foothold.

There are not many ships on the river. Even if there are, they will dock far away. After the warships, they will move forward.

Looking at the more than 20 warships behind him, Lu Qiang suddenly had an idea that these warships should all be their own, which was quite good.

Wang Zhenwei, who was beside him, obviously saw Lu Qiang's idea and smiled and said, "General, don't worry, after arriving in Xunyang, I have a way to make these warships become yours."

There are many lakes and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and warships are undoubtedly the best means of transportation and war. Now I am waiting to be happy, and I must seize everything that can be used.

"Oh! Isn't that Yuanliang? Yuanliang..."

Wang Zhenou inadvertently turned his head and blurted out after seeing the people in a small boat not far ahead.

"Who is Yuan Liang?"

Lu Qiang looked in the direction of Wang Zhen's evil finger.

Because he wanted to avoid the warship, many ships leaned aside. Wang Zhen pointed to one of the Wupeng boats. He saw a middle-aged man standing in a gray robe with bright eyes and a short beard under his jaw.

He is very energetic, but his face is not very good, as if he is angry with someone. Hearing someone call him, he also turned his eyes this way.

Wang Zhenvil waved his hand from the man and smiled, "This is a great talent. At first, he assisted Huan Xuan. Later, after discovering Huan Xuan's ambition, he went home angrily, but I don't know how he met here?"

"Oh? Invite him to come up quickly."

Lu Qiang is thirsty for virtuousness now. He knows that he has no reputation, and I'm afraid it's impossible to attract talents. Let's start with those who are not ambitious!

After seeing that it was Wang Zhen who shouted at him, the man named Yuan Liang quickly ordered the boat to come over, and then boarded the ship Lu Qiang with the help of the soldiers.

"Brother Yuan Liang, where are you going? By the way, I forgot to introduce that first. This is General Lu."

In fact, after getting on the boat, the first thing this person saw was Lu Qiang. After all, Lu Qiang is different from others in terms of size and temperament.

After listening to Wang Zhen's introduction, Yuan Liang bowed and said lightly, "Xunyang Tao Yuanming has seen the general"

Tao Yuanming?

Lu Qiang hasn't read the book for a few years, but the name sounds very familiar, but he can't remember who it is for a moment.

He hurriedly hugged his fist and said, "Sir, thank you"

Tao Yuanming obviously didn't expect the young general to be so polite. After looking up and down the road, he said evilly to Wang Zhen, "Where are you going? Are you also going to Xunyang?"

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly. He didn't want to go, but Lu Qiang insisted on going. What can he do?

"If you are going to save His Majesty the Emperor, then I advise you not to go. He has been kidnapped by the thief"

Tao Yuanming's words immediately stunned Lu Qiang and Wang Zhen evil.

Lu Qiang knew who Xunyang Pass was, and Huan Xuan was the originator. Why didn't he run away quickly and catch a useless Sima Dewen?

And there are already two armies in front of him. Tao Yuanming didn't tell them how to run away?

looked at Tao Yuanming with a doubtful face and said, "Is what you said true?"

Tao Yuanming seemed to have taken gunpowder. Seeing that Lu Qiang refused to believe him, he hugged his fist and said goodbye and turned around to leave, but was pulled by Wang Zhenyi.

After making a wink, he said to Tao Yuanming, "Yuan Liang, walk slowly, hehe! This is not Tao Yuanliang I know! What happened today? Who provoked you?"

Lu Qiang also clenched his fist again and said, "Sir, don't blame me. This news is really too sudden. Can you please explain it in detail?"

Lu Qiang's humble attitude and his friend's persuasion, Tao Yuanming finally turned around.

"Huan Xuan defended Xunyang with the general Guoquan, causing the illusion that his majesty was still imprisoned in Xunyang, and he has taken away his majesty. It is estimated that he is almost in Jiangling. His purpose is nothing more than to contain the army of the king of Qin and buy him time to regroup. Unfortunately, I speak lightly and no one refuses to believe what I said."

Lu Qiang and Wang Zhenwei understood that Tao Yuanming must have told the news to the front army, but Liu Yu's generals did not believe what he said at all, which made him so angry.

"How could Yuan Liang know so clearly?"

If Lu Qiang asks, I'm afraid Tao Yuanming will be anxious again. Wang Zhen is his friend. Of course, it's another matter.

"Alas! After knowing that your majesty was escorted to Xunyang, I have been paying attention to your majesty's whereabouts. I just hate that I don't have the ability to save your majesty. It's easy to look forward to the king's army, but because I used to be a thief, no one will believe me, so I missed a good opportunity!"

Who said that there is no loyal minister? Isn't this just one?

After listening to Tao Yuanming's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help looking at him with new eyes.

Wang Zhen was very surprised to hear the news and said to Lu Qiang, "General, let's go straight to Jiangling!"

There is nothing to hesitate about this. Lu Qiang went to Xunyang for his brother. Now his brother has been captured by Huan Xuan to Jiangling, and he wants to save everything.

"Go and invite General Fan"

The actual command of the fleet is Fan Cheng. If you want to change the route, you have to discuss with him.

"General, will you believe what I said?"

Tao Yuanming asked with a surprised face.

"Mr. is loyal and patriotic, admirable, and he is also a good friend of the king's book. What reason do I have to distrust you? In addition, there is a ruthless request, that is, I hope you can help me and rescue your majesty as soon as possible."

Of course, Tao Yuanming asked for Lu Qiang's request, but he looked at the flag of the warship and hesitated.

"The general has something to say, does Yuan Liang dare not obey? Isn't it just that you are going to support the army ahead? If the general acts alone, can the general in front of him agree?

Lu Qiang knew that Tao Yuanming misunderstood that he was also Liu Yu's man. He smiled and said, "Sir will know soon"

While talking, Wang Zhenvil invited Fan Cheng out. Fan Cheng is the captain of the fleet. Of course, he will be in the same boat as Lu Qiang.

A few days of contact made Fan Cheng more and more unable to see through Lu Qiang. He could obviously feel that Lu Qiang did not seem to be keen on loyalty to General Liu Yu, but if not, he took his own warship to help the battle. What on earth did this boy have?

I heard that Lu Qiang called him and ran out of his cabin.

"General Lu, but it's almost Xunyang?"

Seeing Tao Yuanming, Fan Cheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned. In his impression, there seemed to be no such person on the ship! When did he come up?

"Brother Fan, this Mr. Tao, once served under Huan Xuan. According to the information he brought, the Huan thief has taken your majesty to Jiangling. We can't go to Xunyang and must change to Jiangling."

"This... Is the news accurate?

"Absolutely accurate, please order to change the route!"

Except for the sailors, almost all of them are Lu Qiang's men, so he is sure that Fan Cheng will agree. If he refuses to agree, he can only be sorry.

Fan Cheng obviously understood this truth and pondered for a moment, "But we only have 3,000 people. How can we capture Jiangling, which is guarded by heavy soldiers? Why don't we go to Xunyang first, gather the army, and then go to Jiangling together."

Although what he said is reasonable, Lu Qiang will not agree. Liu Yu's army surrounded him. What are you doing? It has to be swallowed by others.

Before Lu Qiang could speak, Tao Yuanming said first, "Just gather the army and send a messenger. The thief fled in a panic, and the elites and horses were almost lost. At this time, he fled back to Jiangling in an attempt to refresh himself and make a comeback. We must not give him this opportunity, so I think we should send troops to Jiangling immediately."

"Who are you?"

Fan Cheng was angry and didn't know where to vent! Seeing someone interrupting, he couldn't help shouting.

Lu Qiang smiled and said, "This is my newly hired marching Sima, and his words are what I mean."

Although Tao Yuanming has promised to follow him to Jiangling, he might as well give him an official position first so that he can help himself at ease. At the same time, he vaguely felt that this seemed to be a historical celebrity. He only hated that he had read so few books that he couldn't remember.

After saying that, he turned his head and said evilly to Wang Zhen: "Brother Fan has agreed and ordered the fleet to sail to Jiangling"

"What does General Lu mean?"

Fan Cheng said back and said, looking at Lu Qiang with an alert face, holding his hand on the handle of the knife. As soon as his words fell, he only felt that someone hit him hard in the back of the head, and then lost consciousness.

It turned out that Lu Qiang had thought that Fan Cheng would not agree to change the route, so he ordered the husband to take two soldiers to ambush behind Fan Cheng. Once the conversation broke down, he would leave to take people.

If it hadn't been for the relationship with Zhou Anmu, he might have been killed.

After shutting up Fan Cheng, Lu Qiang used Fan Cheng's order to order the fleet to change its route and go straight to Jiangling.
