The next morning, Liu Xun was still asleep. Suddenly I felt that someone was dragging me. I opened my eyes and saw my sister Liu Chun laughed and said, "Brother, father asked me to call you to eat."
Because Liu Xun slept very late yesterday, he was very sleepy today and felt dazed. Liu Xun woke up slowly, and after washing up, he took his sister to the east courtyard.
"Little girl, why did my father let me eat today?" Liu Xun felt very strange, because Liu Xun already had his own general mansion and was already independent. He usually eats by himself.
"It's okay. My father said that the family hasn't eaten together for a long time, and it just happens that today is free. Let's have a meal together." Although Liu Chun was only eight years old, he was talented and answered the questions in a good manner.
"Haha..." Liu Xun saw Liu Chun answering the question solemnly, feeling very cute, so he touched Liu Xun's little cheek lovingly.
When we arrived at the east yard, the food had been arranged. Seeing that Liu Chun had called Liu Xun, everyone gathered around the table to eat. In the Han Dynasty, the meal system was practiced in formal occasions, but the family and the peasant family basically sat and ate together.
Since Liu Xun turned fifteen years old, Liu Bei has allowed Liu Xun to participate in his own affairs and cultivate Liu Xun's abilities. Since then, Liu Xun has rarely been able to eat a meal at ease, so Liu Xun is very happy to have such an opportunity. Liu Xun repeatedly praised his wife, Mrs. Mi Mi, for her good cooking, and the family enjoyed themselves well.
"Lord, it's okay, something happened to Jiangling," Zhao Yun shouted as he came in.
Liu Bei quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Jiangxia prefect Zhang Xian, because he was dissatisfied that Liu Biao favored Cai Bao in the archery competition, he started from Jiangxia with 50,000 troops to attack Jiangling. General Cai Wei led an army of 80,000 to resist and was defeated by Zhang Xian. Now, there are only two left in Jiangling City. Wan Shoujun is at stake," Zhao Yun said truthfully.
"To say that Cai Hao is as stupid as a pig is to exalt him. Eighty thousand people can't beat the 50,000 army. It's a waste." Liu Xun was very angry. The Cai family headed by Cai Hao usually bullied the people. It was a boon in Jingzhou. Now that they have lost so many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, it is really a crime.
"How did you know?" Liu Bei asked. Liu Bei still didn't believe the news, so he had to confirm the authenticity of the news.
"Knowing that Liu Biao couldn't beat Zhang Xian, he sent Yijie to ask for help. These are all what Yijie said." Zhao Yun replied, indicating that what he said was not a lie, but true.
"Okay, quickly recruit Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and other generals and ministers to the council hall of the Provincial Government to discuss the matter." Liu Bei said as he walked out.
Zhao Yun quickly arranged for his soldiers to notify others, and Liu Xun quickly followed Liu Bei to the conference hall.
Looking at the back of Liu Bei and Liu Xun, Mrs. Mi sighed deeply, "Oh, it's not easy for the father and son. They can't even eat a meal."
In a short while, everyone in the conference hall arrived.
"Liu Cishi, please save my father-in-law, Zhang Xian's fifty thousand army has already attacked the city of Jiangling, Jiangling is in danger. I also hope that Uncle Liu will send troops to save my father-in-law," Yi Ji said, kneeling down, with a very sincere attitude.
"Humph" Zhang Fei was very disdainful, "At the beginning, Cai Hao wanted to kill my elder brother in Jiangling. Thanks to my nephew Liu Xun's wit, he turned away Cai Hao's army, and my eldest brother turned away from danger. Now that he is in danger, he thinks of us. It's shameless." Zhang Fei was very angry when he thought of what happened in Jiangling.
"That must be done by Cai Hao behind my father's back. My father will definitely not let Cai Hao kill the emperor." Liu Qi hurriedly walked in from the outside. Hearing that Jiangling was in trouble, Liu Qi hurried to the east courtyard to find Liu Bei. When they arrived at the East Court, Mrs. Mi told Liu Qi that everyone was in the discussion hall. So Liu Qi hurried over.
"It stands to reason that Zhang Xian is not so good. How could he be able to hit Jiangling so quickly?" Liu Xun didn't understand. Liu Biao also had generals like Wenpin and Wenyuan, so why did he lose so badly
"The son doesn't know something, Zhang Xian is very ordinary. But Zhang Xian has a tiger general, Gan Ning, who is extremely brave, and Jiangling general is not his opponent at all," Yi Ji said lamentedly, very worried in his heart.
"You are incompetent, but you want to praise others so much" Zhang Fei disapproved, "Isn't it just the defeated general of General Zilong? What's so powerful."
Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Liu Xun suddenly remembered. That Gan Ning is indeed very powerful, a talent. "I heard that Gan Ning is very familiar with water warfare and once commanded the navy." Liu Xun was very interested in Gan Ning.
"Yes. Gan Ning turned out to be the deputy general of the navy in Jingzhou. Because he was at odds with Cai Hao, he went to Jiangxia." Yiji replied. Yiji didn't understand, so Liu Xun asked what they were doing.
"I would like to ask the emperor to send troops to rescue my father. I must be grateful." Liu Qi said, kneeling down, crying bitterly.
"Yes, father. Zhang Xian openly betrayed his master and crueled the people. It is tolerable or unbearable. For the people of Jingzhou, we need to fight against Zhang Xian and break the siege of Jiangling." Liu Xun also persuaded Liu Bei to send troops. In this way, it can further establish prestige among the people of Jingzhou and pave the way for the future occupation of Jingzhou, and maybe it will be able to get the strong general Ganning. Liu Xun thought that the navy of our army hadn't found a suitable general to lead him. After getting Ganning, he could train the navy.
"Okay, Liu Biao is my emperor's brother, and he is kind to me. I am determined to send troops to defeat Zhang Xian and solve the siege of Jiangling." Liu Bei finally decided to send troops.
"The lord does not have to go out in person, I would like to lead the army to quell the rebellion." Liu Xun stepped forward to petition.
Liu Bei was very happy to see that his son was so brave. He was about to let his son establish prestige, so he readily agreed.
"I would be a pioneer"
"I am willing to accompany the army to quell the rebellion"
"I also need to go"
Generals such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Wei Yan, Chen Dao and others asked to go to quell the rebellion, and they were overwhelmed with each other.
"Okay, everyone don't fight," Liu Bei hurriedly stopped. "Well, Anhan General Liu Xun is the chief general of the army, the thief general Guan Yu, the rebellious general Zhao Yun are the pioneers, and the exterminating general Wei Yan is the white-eared cavalry lieutenant, leading the army to fight against Zhang Xian."
Hearing Liu Bei's appointment, Zhang Fei became unhappy and clamored to go. Liu Bei said, you have to guard Xiangyang with me. Xiangyang is our foundation and very important. Although Zhang Fei was unhappy, there was no way.
Three days later, Liu Xun mobilized two battalions around Huben, two battalions around Huwei, Shenji Bow and Crossbow Battalion, Xiaoqi Zuoying, Baier Cavalry, and a total of 31,000 horse infantry troops, and sent troops to fight against Zhang Xian.
After seeing Liu Xun dispatching troops, Yiji hurried to Jiangling to report to Liu Biao. However, after a few days, Liu Biao still did not see the reinforcements in Jiangling City, and he was very anxious. Liu Xun has indeed led the troops on the expedition, why hasn't he reached Jiangling yet? Are they walking slowly
It's not that Liu Xun's army walked slowly, but that Liu Xun did not come to Jiangling. Where did Liu Xun lead the army
