"Hurry up, hurry up! Can't you go any faster!" Liu Mang roared as he looked at the warships going down the river.
"My lord, this is already the ultimate!" Gan Ning, the commander of the navy, was very helpless. The Huaihe River was originally a small river. In some places, the current is very gentle and the wind direction is not strong. Although all the warships are now raising their sails After getting up, the speed has been pulled to the extreme, but Liu Mang is still not satisfied.
"Hey!" How could Liu Mang not know this, but he was in a hurry. None of the scouts he sent in the direction of Shouchun came back, which made it clear that the information had been blocked, and only Liu Bei's army could do it. , Why did Liu Bei block the news? His purpose is beyond words. It is to fight the information war. What he wants is to use the news of Miss Lu's disappearance to make a fuss. Don't you think Liu Mang can't be in a hurry!
Xu Shu is loyal and upright. Such a person makes people feel at ease, but this loyalty and uprightness is also Xu Shu's biggest weakness. Liu Ye said to himself that once this Pang Tong uses "Miss Lu" as a hostage, then Shouchun City Certainly not guaranteed. So Liu Mang was in a hurry.
"My lord, no matter how worried you are, it won't help!" Liu Ye also walked to the bow and comforted Liu Mang, "Trust Yuan Zhi, he will definitely persist until we arrive!"
"No no!" Liu Mang shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's because I believe in Yuan Zhi too much that I'm worried! It's not like you don't know Yuan Zhi. He is upright and loyal. These are his advantages, but It's also his shortcoming! I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Xu Shu will do something to fulfill morality!" Liu Wei is really afraid of Xu Shu, because Xu Shu is too serious in his work, and he is too strict with himself. Such a Xu Shu. This is what Liu Mang is most afraid of. In terms of strategy, Xu Shu is not inferior to Pang Tong. He even has more insights than Pang Tong, but he is restrained by Pang Tong in terms of morality. In Pang Tong's view, as long as the goal is achieved, the means are nothing.
On the original trajectory, Pang Tong even included himself in order to overwhelm Zhuge Liang, and to allow Liu Bei to capture Bashu in a legitimate way. Using himself as a bait, knowing that there was an ambush ahead, he still chose to walk there. In the end, Zhang Ren shot him to death on Luofengpo, in order to give Liu Bei a well-known excuse to capture Bashu. Liu Bei was helping Shu Liu Zhang in Hanzhong resisted the attack of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but you, Liu Zhang, not only did not thank you, but also killed my military adviser, which is unreasonable under the circumstances. The popular support of the people in central Shu will also be greatly lost, which is also established. Liu Bei won the foundation of Bashu, which made Liu Bei triumphantly aspire to the Three Kingdoms.
So Pang Tong is such a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. It is really difficult for Xu Shu to deal with him.
During the conversation between Liu Mang and Liu Ye, the warship finally began to count towards the junction of the Huaihe River and the Yingshui River. The river here gradually became wider, the river became a little more turbulent, and the speed of the warship also increased. up.
Liu Mang knew that Shouchun was not far ahead, and he once made Jingzhou's number one dish here, braised small turkey. But now this little turkey has forced Liu Mang to the point of life and death.
"My lord is coming!" Gan Ning has been to this place where the Huai River and the Wei River meet many times, and his navy is here to practice and rest.
"Huh!?" Liu Mang nodded, and the warship sailed towards the Shouchun Water Village. The closer he got to the water village, the more Liu Mang's heart sank, because apart from the closed gate of the Shouchun Water Village, There are not a few people in sight anymore, and even the banner of Liu Mang's army above the water village is gone, what does this mean! It shows that there must be changes in Shouchun City.
"My lord, we, now?!" Liu Ye also looked at this Shouchun Water Village and didn't know what to do. Now that the situation in Shouchun City is unknown, the safest way is to avoid Shouchun and make the worst plan. Take all the warships from Lujiang County, withdraw all the soldiers and horses from Lujiang County, and return to Lujiang County by water, and then prepare to make a comeback.
"Can't go! The whole army is ready, let's enter Shouchun!" Liu Mang's expression was very bad. Shouchun City is where he spent a lot of energy. It can be said that this is also the first time Liu Mang sat down in this troubled world. If such a major event cannot be completed, how can he, Liu Mang, compete with those treacherous heroes? Moreover, there are still Zhao Yun and Xu Shu in the city. , Liu Mang will regret it too much. If he is surrendered by Liu Bei again, then Liu Mang will not dare to imagine Liu Bei's development, so Liu Mang will not leave because of emotion and reason.
"My lord! Entering Shouchun now, I can only see my eyes black!" If Shouchun City is not lost, it's okay, once Shouchun has been occupied by Liu Bei, then they are really in danger in the water village. The drought in Shouchun City The fortress is more than one head taller than the water fortress, and in order to prevent the Shouchun water fortress from being breached by the enemy, there is also an inner gate. If they enter Shouchun, it may be a melee, and it is gradually getting late. It would be a lot of fun if someone played a sneak attack. The most important thing is that the soldiers on this warship are a little seasick now! In particular, Liu Mang's urban management army was a bit unbearable. When they were working on the Gan Ning warship, they rested on the shore for a day before arriving in Guangzhou. The black chess army is not much better, the two main forces are like this, how much combat power is left. Even if you want to enter, you have to buffer it!
"If you can't enter, you have to enter. Time is running out! It's too late!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth. Shou Chun must not be lost. Even if Shou Chun is gone, Liu Mang will have Xu Shu and Zhao Yun escort him out. "Brothers, can you still persevere!" Liu Mang asked the soldiers of the Black Chess Army and the Urban Management Army.
"Yes, my lord!" The voices were sparse, although there were voices but no strength, it simply couldn't work.
"My lord, let our sailors follow you!" Gan Ning walked to Liu Mang's side and said, there are still more than 5,000 Ganning sailors on these warships.
"Water army?!" Liu Wei was a little hesitant. This water army is a sharp weapon in Liu Wei's hands. As a baby, no matter what kind of battle, he is unwilling to take out the navy.
"My lord, our navy has been training so far. There hasn't been a decent battle yet. Don't we want to be pussies all the time!" Gan Ning's tone was filled with anger. Since I arrived in Yangzhou, I really haven’t played a good battle. Before I got the warship, I was recharging my energy, basically performing martial arts. The sailors of Liu Beijun and Gan Ning's navy are not at the same level at all, and it is really boring to fight. Later, Gan Ning wanted to help Xu Shu defend the city, but was rejected by Xu Shu, so Gan Ning really had a trace of anger. Indeed, he is Liu Mang's trump card, but you can't go without fighting forever, Gan Ning can Is a restless character.
"Huh?!" Liu Mang frowned, he took Gan Ning's navy as a treasure too much, no wonder Gan Ning refused to accept it, now Liu Mang has no one to use, it's time for them to see the blood. An army that has never seen blood is not a strong army no matter how hard it is practiced.
"Okay, Gan Ning will bring five thousand sailors with me into the city! Zi Yang, you and the Chengguan Heiqi will stay on the battleship, just in case!" Liu Mang left behind a thousand sailors. For manipulating warships.
"Understood!" Liu Ye nodded. Liu Mang and the others entered Shouchun, and he couldn't help him much. After all, he is a scribe who is not good at fighting, so he should stay on the sidelines and wait!
"Gan Ning, let the soldiers prepare!" Liu Mang said to Gan Ning on the side.
"Brothers, there is work to be done!" Gan Ning looked happy, he still couldn't change his banditry, and it was exposed when he was happy. Fortunately, Liu Wei didn't care about such things at all. If this was under Yuan Shao's command, Gan Ning might be dismissed.
There was not even a single person on the Shouchun water stronghold. Gan Ning's sailors climbed up the water stronghold with a ladder and opened the gate. Five thousand sailors poured into the water army stronghold and soon disappeared into the distance. Shouchun City.
"Generals Xu Sheng and Chengyu, bring your urban management and black chess armies to the water village!" Liu Ye watched Liu Mang leave and shouted at Xu Sheng and Cheng Yu, the chief generals of the black chess army and the urban management army. "Be prepared to meet the lord at any time!"
Xu Sheng and Cheng Yu looked at each other and clasped their hands together, "Yes!"
Liu Ye looked at the direction where Liu Mang was leaving. He had already prepared the worst plan. If Shouchun City was broken and Liu Mang was trapped in Shouchun, then he would lead the city management and black chess armies to attack Shouchun. At worst, everyone will die here, no matter how heavy the loss is, we must rescue Liu Mang!
…
Outside Shouchun City, Liu Bei's army banners stood everywhere, Zhang Xiu had already left with his Xiliang iron cavalry, he went to chase and intercept the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and the time was coming soon, but there was still no movement in Shouchun City, which made people feel uncomfortable Liu Bei below was a little anxious.
"Military teacher, look at this!" Liu Bei pointed to Shouchun City and asked Pang Tong. In fact, Liu Bei's Qi training skills have already reached home, and he is very calm, otherwise he would not have the ups and downs again and again. Defeated, but Liu Bei is really anxious today, and this is the fifth time he has asked Pang Tong, which is enough to show the importance of winning Shouchun to his strategy.
"My lord, don't worry, the time has not come yet!" Pang Tong said to Liu Bei with a smile. It's been a day. Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi are upright and upright, so naturally there will be no more points, no less points, even if he wants to fight to the death, he will give news.
The time for a stick of incense is very short, but it is very long for Liu Bei, because the waiting time is always difficult to bear, but fortunately there is only one stick of incense.
"Huh?!" Pang Tong also frowned, the time is up, why is there still no movement in the city? Just when Pang Tong himself was about to lose his temper, the moat suspension bridge of Shouchun City fell down.
"Here we come!" Pang Tong and Liu Bei looked at each other, and they both saw joy in their eyes.
Sure enough, after the suspension bridge on the moat of Shouchun came down, the next thing was the city gate. The gate was opened, and a white-armored general was riding a horse and holding a spear. The horse left Shouchun City.
Seeing the person coming, Liu Bei and Pang Tong also ran towards the person on their horses, and the army behind them pressed further towards Shouchun City. Yes, he cupped his fists towards the future general.
That's right, the person who got out of the city gate was Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, the leader of Baima Congyi under Liu Wei's command, and those 20,000 Baima Congyi followed behind him. Now there are only more than a hundred rides left. Zhao Yun did not respond to Liu Bei's greeting but snorted coldly. Expressing a kind of disdain for Liu Bei: "Scumbag!"
"Hey, I said Zilong, why did you treat my brother like this? Do you really think that my old Zhang can't poke more than a dozen holes in your body?!" Zhao Yun's attitude annoyed Zhang Fei who was next to him, blah It is about to fight with Zhao Yun.
"I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Zhao Yun glared at Zhang Fei with a spear in his hand.
"Yide must not be rude!" Liu Bei was in a good mood, he didn't want to argue with Zhao Yun, and he didn't want to make troubles. He recalled Zhang Fei, and he had to say that Liu Bei was really a traitor, even to this extent. Even though Zhao Yun had already seen his face clearly, Liu Bei still showed his grievance and hatred, "Zilong, Bei is forced to, if you want to be ruthless, be ruthless, for the sake of this big man!" Jiye, for the sake of the people in this world, is willing to bear the title of this despicable villain!"
Zhao Yun didn't want to watch Liu Bei's performance at all, so he waved his spear in his hand, "General Zuo, where is my mistress?!" Zhao Yun asked. Naturally, someone pointed it out to Zhao Yun, the carriage.
"Okay. General Zuo, Shouchun City is here! Return Mistress to Yun, and Yun will leave now!" Zhao Yun said when he saw the carriage.
"Come on, bring the carriage to General Zilong!" Liu Bei ordered with a wave of his hand, and the soldiers behind him brought the carriage over. From the cracks in the frame of the carriage, a woman could be seen in the carriage. "General Zhao Yun, please step aside! Let my army enter the city!"
Zhao Yun nodded, and asked the cavalry behind him to move the carriage aside. When Liu Bei was about to lead his army into the city, the cavalry around Zhao Yun suddenly shouted.
"General, there is no mistress in this carriage at all!" Although this cavalryman is not familiar with Miss Lu, he also knows that his mistress is a shameless woman who is not good enough to make a country and a city, but now Where is the eldest lady in the carriage, she is completely a country woman, with dry and yellow skin on her face, which is the appearance of long-term farm work.
"What! Fake!" Zhao Yun opened the carriage, and she was really a country woman. Immediately, Zhao Yun became angry, "Liu Bei, you despicable villain, where is my mistress!"
Be ripped apart? Liu Bei also shook his head, there is no way, Yangzhou has no population, so it was hard to find such a woman, but a village woman is so likely to be able to hide the appearance of a young lady, she will be exposed soon up.
"Haha, Zilong, my elder brother Zilong never caught your mother who is your mother!" Zhang Fei smiled triumphantly.
"Then you still lie to me about Shouchun City?!" Zhao Yun was extremely angry.
"Soldiers never tire of cheating, General Zilong, there is no such thing as despicable deceit on the battlefield!" These are the words of Pang Tong. "Thank you, Shouchun City!"
"Close the city gate!" Zhao Yun yelled angrily, if all of this is false, then the consequences would be disastrous, the mistress did not get it, Shouchun City was also breached, and the military commander, the military commander's life! Zhao Yun was really in a hurry.
"Take Shouchun quickly!" Pang Tongtong heard Zhao Yun's roar, and immediately sent someone to capture Shouchun directly.
"Boom boom boom!" Fortunately, the soldiers in the city heard Zhao Yun's roar quickly, and immediately began to close the city gate.
"Hey, those who stand in my way will die!" Zhang Fei rode his horse and rushed towards the gate of Shouchun City. Seeing that it was too late, he threw the Zhangba spear in his hand directly. Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the gate It was faster, which made Zhang Ba's spear stuck on the city wall abruptly, but failed to break into the city gate.
Shouchun's door was finally closed, and Zhao Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"General Zhao Yun, do you think this Shouchun city can stop our army with a single gate!" Liu Bei also had killing intent in his eyes, and his tone towards Zhao Yun also became harsh. Under the city of Shouchun, Zhang Fei couldn't be bothered to let the garrison of Shouchun close the city gate, so Zhang Fei roared angrily! But the suspension bridge in Shouchun City can never be closed.
"In Shouchun City, there are no generals and hundreds of elites under your command! Let's see how long this Shouchun can stop me!" Liu Bei was telling the truth. Originally, Shouchun was never captured by Liu Bei's army because of Zhao Yun and him. The elite under his command are here, and now both of these have appeared below the city, and Xu Shu is no longer on the city wall. Now relying on a group of militiamen or a group of militiamen without a leader, how can they bother to send Liu Bei's army!
"Damn it!" The spear in Zhao Yun's hand was almost pinched out by himself. He wished he could go forward and kill Liu Bei directly with the Chinese army, but he also knew that he couldn't do it, because there was such a Zhang Fly in!
"General Zhao Yun, just watch carefully, how did our army take down this Shouchun!" Liu Bei was furious, and with a wave of his palm, the whole army was about to attack the city.
"Report, report, report!" A scout rushed into Liu Bei's army in a panic.
"Huh?!" Liu Bei frowned, and was about to scold him, but when he took a closer look, this scout did not belong to his own Liu Beijun. Seeing that the red inner armor was Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry, Liu Bei's heart suddenly surged. uneasy.
"Report, report to General Zuo, my lord, my lord Lu'an's generation was ambush, suffered heavy losses and was trapped in Lu'an, I hope General Zuo can rescue in time, and rescue my lord!" He also has his own, which shows that he rushed out after going through all kinds of difficulties.
"What~!" Liu Bei was really stunned, Zhang Xiu was ambushed? Where did the ambush come from? The only soldiers in Yangzhou that Liu Bei feared were Liu Mang's urban management and black chess armies, but these two armies were in Guangzhou, so he flew over.
"My lord, I'm afraid there is something wrong with Jiangdong!" Pang Tong heard what the scouts said, stepped forward and said to Liu Bei with a wry smile. (To be continued..)
