Liu Bei also insisted on resigning. After Liu Yan asked three times and four times, Liu Bei reluctantly accepted him, and ordered people to carefully hold them into the back hall, continue the banquet, and talk about world affairs. Everyone was worried about Cao Jun going south.
Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao originally had Qingzhou army 200,000, Yuan Shao had 500,000 troops, Central Plains recruited 200,000 troops, and Jingzhou troops had 300,000 troops. The army could be no less than one million. Policy?"
Liu Yan saw Kong Ming sway the feather fan lightly, with a calm expression, knowing that he was deliberately probing, and said: "Although Cao Jun is powerful, he is an army of the old war. It has long been exhausted. Although there are many troops in Jingzhou, it will take time to command tacit understanding. People who don’t know the water station, the water and the soil are not satisfied, the people and horses are mixed, the plague will inevitably break out, and the army of one million will be more than half of the combat power. In my opinion, it is millions of chickens and waguls."
Liu Bei was overjoyed, and then he left the case and prayed: "The chief governor, please receive a bow."
Liu Yanzhi hurriedly got up to help, Liu Bei burst into tears, and said with emotion: "If you have something from the chief governor, Bei will feel relieved."
After the banquet, Liu Bei pulled Liu Yan straight and didn’t let go. He insisted on pulling him back to the bedroom to sleep. He erected Liu Yan’s penetrating cold hair, but he also knew that this was a necessary method for the lord to win over talents. Liu Bei was really a lover. My heart, I have to conquer myself.
Liu Handong and Lei Meng did not receive such a high salary, but after each returned to the room, a tray covered with red silk was placed on the case. The silk was opened, and it was like a hill of copper coins. Liu Bei has always been poor, Dangyang After the defeat, even his wife and children were almost lost, and the softness was not brought out at all. These huge sums of money to buy people must have been borrowed from Liu Qi.
But in the second general's eyes, there was a large pile of broken copper and iron in front of him. It was large and heavy, and could not be taken with him.
But there are other gifts. Liu Bei chose two beauties to serve them. They were both fifteen and sixteen-year-old girls bought near Jiang Xia. This time, let alone Liu Handong, even beasts like Lei Meng couldn’t even put their mouths in their mouths. Bringing the beauty back intact, Liu Bei couldn't help admiring the two even more after hearing about it. As long as Liu Yanzhi was accepted, he would not worry about it.
After all, Liu Yanzhi still didn’t get the bed linen with Liu Huangshu. He went back to his own warship to rest on the excuse of urinating. In the middle of the night, the defeated soldiers who had fled from Changbanpo were evacuated to Jiangxia in small boats by the river. Zhuge Liang personally asked these people. Knowing that there were ghosts and spirits that day, I even felt that Liu Yanzhi and others were mysterious and unpredictable
The next day, the Omi Army’s military division party patriotically escorted food, grass, and grains to Jiangxia. He was also dressed as a Lupin Crane. His style imitated Zhuge Kongming, but the blue was better than blue. The party’s patriotic maintenance was careful, and the face was white and bookish. Compared to him, Zhuge Liang looks like a copycat version, with the feeling of a countryman pretending to be a scholar.
As soon as the party’s patriotism arrived, the situation suddenly changed. How could the ink in the stomach of the professor of the history department who had studied poetry and books be comparable to that of ancients like Zhuge Liang? After a talk, the general situation of the world suddenly became clear. The party’s patriotism not only knew about Cao Cao and Sun Wu. The princes such as Liu Zhang of Xichuan, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, and other princes also knew the Huns, Qianghu, Xianbei, Goguryeo, Qiuci, Shule, Khotan, Shache and other countries of the Western Regions. The breadth of knowledge is breathtaking and the style is even more outstanding.
Zhuge Liang secretly found Liu Bei's Jianyan: "The Wenchen near Jiang has the talents of the world, the military commander has the courage of improper man. It can be seen that his lord is a hero of the world. In the future, he will fight with us for the world. He has a plan and sends someone to quickly recruit the clouds. At the dinner, Mingzilong led five hundred swords and axemen in ambush in the hatchback. Second General Guan Zhang guarded the lord's side, smashed the cup as a sign, and chopped Omi Wenwu's chaotic swords into mushy, and the serious troubles can be eliminated."
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this: "Why did the military adviser say this? At the moment, when the enemy is the same enemy, how can we kill allies first and let the people of the world watch it out."
Zhuge Liang said: "Although Cao Cao is powerful, he is still a hero. Jiangdong Sun Quan is not enough. Those who will compete with the lord for the world in the future must be close to Jiang Liu's family. Although he is anxious to resist Cao, he is not anxious."
Liu Bei lowered his head and thought. Zhuge Liang said that it is not unreasonable. Since he started his army, he has not had an independent territory for decades. He has not been attached to Yuan Shao Cao Cao or Lu Bu Liu Biao. Once Liu Biao died, he was like a bereavement dog. After Liu Biao’s eldest son, Liu Qi’s territory, Liu Qi is an incompetent and weak person, and his subordinates are also incompetent. He, as an uncle, can definitely come to occupy the magpie’s nest. This generation is simply a copy of Liu Guanzhang plus Kong Ming. If they join forces with Liu Qi, even if they defeat Cao Cao in the future, they will have no place to stand on their own.
Kong Ming is not the kind of person who only cares about the superficiality in front of him. He rarely makes such decisions. Liu Bei thinks and decides to act according to plan.
A fast boat went to Xiakou and picked up Guan Yunchang. At the same time, Zhao Yun secretly summoned five hundred elite military academies, each armed with a long sword and axe, and standing in the hatchback with a helmet and armour. The banquet was complete. Liu Bei sent someone to invite Omi Wenwu .
Liu Yanzhi and the others are not suspicious of fraud. They were about to go to a banquet. Suddenly, an arrow flew over and was pierced on the door of the cabin. A piece of silk was tied to the arrow shaft. Take it down and observe. It is concluded that the warrior wrote it hastily.
Everyone knows the allusions of Hongmen Banquet, and it was originally from Sima Qian's "Historical Records. The Benji of Xiang Yu", so people in the Eastern Han Dynasty are right to use this allusion.
"What to do?" Liu Yan was dumbfounded. He couldn't guess who was telling the news, and he couldn't believe that Liu Bei, who was still waiting to sleep yesterday, would kill him today.
"Go!" The party patriotism is decisive, "I have a way to deal with them."
The four of them didn’t even bring their entourage. They only wore battle robes and no armor. They even left their swords on the boat. They went to the banquet unsuspectingly. When they came to the Jiangxia Prefect’s Mansion, Liu Yanzhi felt that the atmosphere was unusual. The two compartments breathe heavily, and at least one side hides more than two hundred strong men. It seems that the information is true. The hypocrite, Liu Bei, hid the ambush to deal with him.
Liu Bei heard that the distinguished guest was coming, and came to greet him in front of the mansion. Second General Guan Zhang and Zhuge Liang followed. Seeing that the four of them didn’t even bring their weapons, Liu Bei was secretly shocked and asked,
Why didn’t Yan Zhi even bring a sword? ?"
Liu Yan said straightforwardly, "Why bring a sword when you come to the envoy to have a banquet."
Liu Bei was embarrassed, invited four people into the room, put on a banquet, slowly talked, and talked for a while. When the party patriot saw that Liu Bei picked up the wine glass under Zhuge Liang's eyes, but did not invite to drink, he knew him for a long time. After hesitating whether to start, he said: "Sir, drinking is boring, it is better to let someone perform a trick."
Liu Bei said: "What trick."
The Patriotic Road of the Party: "My lord has three generals under the command of wind, thunder and lightning, and each has unique skills. Today, let the envoy to close the two generals, Zhuge Army Master, and open their eyes together."
Liu Bei said, "Also."
Lei Meng took the first shot, flicked his big sleeve, and threw a grenade into the empty yard. It exploded. Liu Bei's expression changed in shock. Zhang Fei held the hilt of the sword, Zhuge Liang's hand holding the feather fan was trembling, only Guan Yun squinted his eyes unmoved.
The loud explosion shocked the soldiers ambushing in the hatchback, but this was not an appointment signal. Zhao Yun did not issue an order, and no one dared to rush out.
Then there was Liu Handong. He fired with a pistol hidden in his sleeve and hit the copper candlestick in the courtyard. Four pawns carried the candlestick to the hall for everyone to watch. Only three holes were punched in the metal body. People can imagine.
In the end, Liu Yan hit the shaft. He directly performed a flying with the wind, and went straight to the sky under everyone's attention. After a while, he landed and said: "Just laughed."
Liu Bei asked, "How many miles can Yanzhi fly in a day?"
Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "If it doesn't stop for twelve hours, there will be five thousand miles downwind, and three thousand miles upwind."
Liu Bei suddenly realized that, no wonder Yan Zhi left the navy to help alone. The military commander was right, he was here.
The three generals each showed a hand. Liu Bei had no intention of harming him, and even Zhuge Liang regretted it. If he broke the cup just now, he might be the one who died first.
Only Guan Yunchang, whose eyes are always higher than the top, still had a calm face, and snorted gently with his beard.
The deterrent tactics have worked, and the party patriotic said again: "If you have something to ask for, please don't turn away from Wangwang."
Liu Bei said: "But it doesn't hurt to speak."
The Patriotic Road of the Party: "My lord is a secluded person in the world. We have no choice but to rise up to fight against Cao Shi. We have always admired the name of the emperor and are willing to donate money and food to the military and civilians of the city.
Liu Bei was shocked. This was too unexpected. Back then, Tao Qian let Xuzhou. It was the general trend. Liu Biao had a different plan to admit himself. However, the people from Omi came to vote. This is unreasonable. It is impossible for him to be a Han room that cannot be beaten by himself. Clan relatives really have such a big appeal?
Zhuge Liang was afraid of Liu Bei's rejection, but he was too unreserved, so he deliberately probed: "Jiangdong Sun Quan occupies six prefectures and eighty-one states. He is the master of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are the assistants of great talents. You can vote for him. "
Dang Aiguo said with contempt: "Sun Quan is a child, how can you compare with the envoy, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, but Er, the hero of the world, only Uncle Liu is the only one."
Zhuge Liang just believed it. He went around after the case and wanted to give a big gift. He didn't expect that the bronze wine prince was poured on the sleeves of his robe, and he fell on the brick floor with a crisp sound.
The soldiers in the ambush in the hatchback heard the order and rushed out, full of bright knives and axes. Zhao Yun walked forward with the blue night sword in his hand. The armor he was wearing was the chain mail that Liu Yan gave to Liu Bei yesterday.
Liu Bei stopped drinking immediately: "Hurry up, go back!"
Zhao Yun saw from a distance that there was no intention to do anything in the hall~EbookFREE.me~ The lord was full of shame, knowing that he had committed an oolong, and hurriedly led the sword and axe back quickly.
The atmosphere in the hall was very embarrassing, and the party patriotic smiled and said: "The envoy also exercises military force in the mansion, is it to prevent Cao Jun assassins."
Liu Bei saw the steps and went down, hehe smiled and said, "Exactly."
Dang Aiguo and others ate a few more glasses of wine. They said that they were tired and went back to the boat to rest. They waited until the third watch and left the marine navy, and the four left by boat.
At dawn, the leader of the Omri Naval Division reported to Liu Bei with a roster, saying that the military division had entrusted the army's horse money and food to the envoy. Liu Bei urgently asked Yan Zhi where he was, and he couldn't help crying, regretting that he had escaped overnight. .
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Don't cry for the lord, these four are not humans like me. The minister has an old friend of Omi sent a message, and the future will be written clearly."
After talking about presenting the silk book, Liu Bei read it strangely and said, "Are they here for Zuo Ci?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Zuo Ci is a master of Taoism, but the ministers have some intersections with him, and they should reciprocate themselves and help them find Zuo Ci."
