Chapter 631 Liu Bei Borrows Jiangxia
"Big Governor, ahead is the boundary of Jingzhou. I don't know how the big governor is going to attack Jingzhou?" Looking at the looming river bank in the distance, Lu Su asked Zhou Yu beside him. For the sake of confidentiality, Zhou Yu did not tell others his specific plan, but made a general arrangement. At present, he was about to arrive in Jingzhou. Lu Su was a little impatient.
"It is said that Lu Xun led his people to attack Jiangxia and take a springboard for our army to attack Jingzhou. The others followed me straight to Xiangyang. Zhou Yu ordered with a calm face. It is also an answer to Lu Su.
On a wharf by the river outside Jiangxia City, dozens of coolies were loading goods on the ship. A black-faced man was lying on the deck of the cargo ship, lazily basking in the sun. This person is not someone else but Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei. After the three brothers of Liu Bei returned to Jiangxia, they were not idle, but organized the people who originally followed from Xinye. With Liu Guanzhang, Mi Zhu and others as the core, they formed a fleet and wrapped several horse heads around them. Mi Zhu was originally a merchant. For all this, it was abnormal, coupled with Zhuge Liang's principle. In internal affairs, Liu Bei's power has grown again in a short time. Although he has not been able to become the lord of Jiangxia, he has indirectly controlled many businesses in Jiangxia, and even wants to expand other regions of Jingzhou. It really made Liu Bei get through the addiction of the rich.
At this time, I suddenly saw a black line coming on the Yangtze River. The busy workers on the dock were shocked at this time and knew that there was an enemy coming to kill.
"Third Master, wake up. It's not good. There's a navy coming." Seeing the sailors coming from afar, someone quickly reported to Zhang Fei.
"Grandma, is Lv Bu's water army coming again? I was angry when I saw them. If the eldest brother hadn't let me do it, I would have let them know that I was awesome. Hearing that a navy was coming, although Zhang Fei's mouth was cursing, he still stood up and prepared to take away his horses and ships. These days, the soldiers are in chaos. If the goods of his ship are confiscated by Lv Bujun, Zhang Fei has no place to judge.
"No, this is the water army in Jiangdong. Grandma, what do they want to do? Do you want to attack Jiangxia? No, this is my brother's territory. When he saw the ship coming, Zhang Fei was shocked and said to the people beside him, "Go quickly to my eldest brother and say that the Jiangdong Water Army is coming and ask what to do."
In the face of the Jiangdong Water Army, Zhang Fei was a little helpless. Although they are all Lv Bu's enemies, now Liu Bei is developing well in Jiangxia, and there are a lot of goods and money hoarding. If these things are known by Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, he may really meet Caiqi. Zhang Fei can't make the decision on this kind of thing, so he can only send people. Go and invite Liu Bei.
"Third Master, what should we do?" At this time, someone asked.
"Withdraw first. Since the Jiangdong Water Army is looking for Lv Bu's trouble, let them fight first." After saying that, Zhang Fei waved his hand, and the workers quickly started the boat and headed for the distance.
"Brothers, there is Jiang Xia in front of you. Kill me." Seeing Jiangxia City not far away, the young Lu Xun rolled up his sleeves and waved his arms and shouted.
"Kill, kill, kill." The morale of the Jiangdong army was high, and the sound of killing was loud. As soon as the ship docked, it rushed to Jiangxiacheng not far away.
"General, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are coming." Above the Jiangxia City Tower, a general rushed over in a panic and reported to Gao Lan.
"Who is coming? Can it be those fierce characters in Jiangdong? Hearing the soldier's report, Gao Lan quickly asked the soldier.
"Well, I don't know if it's too specific. I only know that the enemy's general is called Lu Xun." The soldier replied quickly.
"Lu Xun has never heard of it." Hearing Lu Xun's name, Gao Lan thought for a moment, but immediately said, "Forget it. Anyway, what the lord wants is Jiangdong. Let's leave Jiang Xia for them." With that, Gao Lan shouted, "If you pass the order, the whole army will gather and go out of the city with me to meet the enemy."
With Gao Lan's order, the soldiers and horses originally stationed in Jiangxia City immediately gathered.
"Brothers, the little thief in Jiangdong actually sent troops to attack me, Jiangxia. Even on the Yangtze River, they have always only deserved my military shoes, let alone on the shore. I will take you to teach them a good lesson." As he spoke, he looked at the horse and came out, and the long knife in his hand danced and made the sound of the wind.
"Hmm, Gao Lan, an idiot, take the troops out like this. Do you really think you can defend Jiangxia in this way?" Seeing Gao Lan leading his troops out of the city, Guan Yu sneered and obviously didn't pay attention to Gao Lan's talent.
"How did the general know that Gao Lan wanted to keep Jiangxia, instead of preparing to abandon Jiangxia?" Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhuge Liang beside him suddenly said.
"What do you mean, sir?" Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Guan Yu was also shocked.
"What Lv Bu wants is Jiangdong, so it is normal to give up a few small cities to attract soldiers and horses in Jiangdong." Zhuge Liang explained.
"This is not better. If Jiangdong soldiers and horses arrive in Jiangxia, we don't have to hide our heads like now." Hearing that Lv Bu was going to give up Jiangxia, Guan Yu said happily.
"Oh, general, I'm afraid that the arrival of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses is not a good thing for us. We have developed and grown with Jiangxia as the base, and hoarded a lot of houses in Jiangxia. Now Jiangdong soldiers and horses have to use troops against Jingzhou, and the delivery of materials is inconvenient, so we have to take Jiangxia first, and then use Jiangxia as a springboard to attack the whole Jingzhou. How much materials are needed in this? I'm afraid that once Jiangdong soldiers capture Jiangxia, first of all, The expropriation of all the materials in the city will naturally hurt our interests. Zhuge Liang's view is not as optimistic as Guan Yu. Lv Bu's soldiers are strong and strong, and there are countless materials transported from all over the world. Naturally, he will not like Jiangxia's soldiers and horses, but Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are different. In this battle with Lv Bu, Jiangdong must go all out to win. Naturally, the materials hoarded in Jiangxia City will not be let go. From this perspective, it is very dangerous to let Jiangdong soldiers enter the city.
"If so, how should we deal with it?" Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Guan Yu was also shocked and hurriedly asked.
"For today's plan, I can't say that we can only take Jiangxia City by ourselves." Zhuge Liang sighed and then said. During this period, Liu Bei's power has developed smoothly. In order not to attract Lv Bu's attention, Zhuge Liang tried to deal with everything in a low profile, but now it seems that it is impossible to keep a low profile.
"Lu Xun and Lu Xun Xiao Er, dare to offend me, Jiangxia, why don't you come out and die." Gao Lan crossed the horse and came to the front of the two armies and shouted.
"Well, I came from a famous family. How can I compete with you? Come on, kill me and leave the enemy." Seeing Gao Lan go to war, Lu Xun sneered. With the flag in his hand waving, his soldiers and horses covered up together. Gao Lan said that there were not many soldiers and horses in the middle, and how could they resist? After a few rounds, his soldiers and horses were seriously killed and injured, and they hurriedly led their troops back.
"Brothers, let's go back to the city first." Gao Lan saw that he was defeated and led the army away.
Gao Lan led his troops to the gate of Jiangxia City. He saw that the gate was closed and did not open. At this time, several people appeared on the tower, and the armor was bright one by one. It was the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang. Behind them, Zhuge Liang was wearing a white coat and gently waved the feather fan in his hand.
"Liu Bei, when will you take my city?" Seeing Liu Bei and others appear, Gao Lan suddenly became angry and shouted loudly.
"Hahaha, it's my city. At this time, Owen just took back his things. You go back and tell Lv Bu. Just say a few days, I'll take his head and ask him to wash his neck and wait for me." Liu Bei laughed and said to Gao Lan.
"Let's go and withdraw?" Seeing that the city of Jiangxia had been occupied by Liu Bei, Gao Lan gritted his teeth and could only turn away with the people.
"Brother, this high-level ml is abominable. It's better for me to take some soldiers and horses to go up and take his head." Seeing that Gao Lan led the troops and fled, Zhang Fei said with some pity.
"Don't chase the poor, not to mention that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses attacking Jiangxia may not have the intention of attracting the attention of Lv Bu's army. We'd better not draw snakes and add feet. At this time, I only heard Zhuge Liang say.
Not long after, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses had driven to the city of Jiangxia. Seeing that Lv Bu had occupied Jiangxiacheng, Lu Xun couldn't help frowning, but he came over and hugged Liu Bei and said, "Uncle Liu, our army sent Jiangdong and finally drove away Gaolan away. Uncle Huang took Jiangxia with such a tricky. I'm just afraid it's unreasonable.
"Ha ha, the young general joked. I, Liu Bei, have lived in seclusion in Jiangxia for many days. How can I say that Jiangxia is your army? However, the general doesn't have to worry. We are allies. I don't plan to stay in Jiangxia City for a long time. Well, if I find a suitable place to settle down, how about returning Jiangxia City to your army? Your army sent troops to Jingzhou. I don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. Let me guard the general for a period of time in Jiangxia City. Seeing that Lu Xunxing was guilty, Liu Bei said with a smile.
"General, Liu Bei's rhetoric is like deceiving our victory. Please order the young general to lead troops to attack Jiangxia and capture Liu Bei alive." Hearing Liu Bei's words, a Jiangdong general said immediately behind Lu Xun.
"Ha ha, then Uncle Lao will be stationed in Jiangxia for us." Lu Xun smiled unexpectedly and actually agreed to Liu Bei's proposal, and then the Jiangdong soldiers immediately retreated ten miles to camp.
"I didn't expect that Lu Xun could have such a city at a young age. Jiangdong is really full of talents." Seeing that Lu Xun agreed to Liu Bei's request in this way, Zhuge Liang couldn't help admiring.
"Now that the military division has sent troops from Jiangdong to Jingzhou, we should also take action. I don't know what the military division's intention is?" Seeing Jiangdong's soldiers retreat, Liu Bei turned around and asked Zhuge Liang. Obviously, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity and wanted to fish in troubled waters.
"Bear well, we have hoarded a lot of materials in Jiangxia these days, and just take this opportunity to recruit soldiers. If Sun Quan wins, we will take the opportunity to take Jingzhou. If Sun Quan retreats, we can take the opportunity to send troops to Jiangdong. Half a sound, Zhuge nodded and said.
