Chapter seven hundred and thirty first war
Guo Yi left with a smile. He was finally able to go to the battlefield with Cheng Yu. Naturally, there would be no problem if his father agreed.
Seeing Guo Yi leave, Guo Jia's face was also closed as he smiled.
Don’t worry? How could he not worry! Are brothers really better than brothers?
Everything about Cao Cao can be said to be Guo Jia's efforts.
Now Yanzhou and Yangzhou are finally going to start a war. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, it is not good news for Guo Jia.
If Cao Cao wins, Guo Yi is now in Cheng Yu's army. Although Liu Mang treats him very well with Guo Jia, he cannot say that some individuals will be furious and put the fault of defeat on their father and son.
If Liu Mang wins, then all of this, Guo Jia, will be in vain, and most of his life will be hard work.
"Meng De, I can do so much. Whether you win or lose depends on your own!" Guo Jia seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was talking to someone. He looked in one direction, which was the direction of Yuzhou.
The way to crack this chess game may be there.
"Is this Liu Zhang's head?" In Yizhou, Liu Mang looked at the wooden box wrapped in lime, opened it, and it was filled with a big head.
The owner of this head is not someone else, but the former master of Yizhou, Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou.
"Lord!" Zhang Song still knelt down beside Liu Mang. Although Zhang Song was very shameful to Liu Zhang's ability, at least Liu Zhang was still very good to him. For the sake of reason, Zhang Song should kneel down. After all, the dead are the most important.
As for how this head came to Liu Mang's hands, it was naturally obtained from "Zhao Wei", that is, Jia Xu.
"Che Zhou. Liu Pi, Zhang Xiu, Huang She, now there is another Liu Zhang!" Liu Mang shook his head helplessly. This Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are really a middle-aged man in the god of death. The boss killer, whoever gets close to him will be unlucky.
Liu Zhang was also dead. I don’t need to look at this Chengdu Prefecture and know that it must have fallen into Liu Bei’s hands.
"Aren't Liu Bei afraid that Yan Yan and Zhang Ren will attack Chengdu immediately?" Liu Mang was a little surprised. Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were Liu Zhang's confidants. If Liu Zhang died, these two people would probably avenge Liu Zhang.
"General Yan may not! General Zhang Ren will definitely do this!" Zhang Song said, he had already found out about some generals in Yizhou.
Yan Yan is in mind that Yizhou is not Liu Zhang. Whoever disrupts Yizhou will be his enemy. Whether it is Zhao Wei or Liu Zhang, if Zhao Wei defeated Liu Zhang, Yan Yan would now resist Zhang Lu for Zhao Wei.
But Zhang Ren did not make much noise. Judging from the information sent by Jia Xu, Zhang Ren also withdrew from the Jianning generation and has begun to relocate the defense line in Chengdu.
"The reason Zhang Ren can do this only means that he doesn't know that Liu Zhang is dead!"
"I don't know?" Liu Mang didn't understand. He didn't know why Liu Zhang was dead, so why Liu Bei was able to mobilize Zhang Ren's troops.
"Letter, Tiger Talisman!" Zhang Song said. No one can imitate Liu Zhang's notes. As long as there are these two things, Zhang Ren will definitely obey the order.
"Liu Bei killed Liu Zhang, gave Liu Zhang's head to Zhao Wei, and then used Zhang Ren and Yan Yan to practice with Zhao Wei and Zhang Lu to deal with me?" Liu Mang quickly clarified his thoughts.
"This Liu Bei is really a good deal!" Liu Mang also realized that if it weren't for Jia Xu, "Zhao Wei", Liu Mang might have had to fight with Zhang Lu, Liu Bei and Zhao Wei.
Although Liu Mang's army was led by Zhang Song, a person who was very familiar with Yizhou, in Yizhou, it took several days to reach outside Chengdu.
Chengdu Prefecture is the capital of Yizhou, the country of Tianfu. It has been the capital and also a county town.
After experiencing vicissitudes, it can be said that the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties were also an exaggeration.
The city is tall and towering, and Yizhou is already mountainous, but here it is above the mountains, which is enough to see his courage.
With the efforts of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, Chengdu Prefecture can be said to be a huge turtle shell.
"This is really easy to defend but difficult to attack!" Liu Mang also looked around at Chengdu Prefecture. If he forcibly attacked the city, there would definitely be a lot of casualties.
"Not good!" Zhang Song took his people outside Chengdu Mansion and left. After a while, he returned in a mess. He felt guilty towards Liu Mang.
"I can't find those culverts when I go back to the top of the king!" Not to mention Chengdu Prefecture, even Xiangyang City, the soft-base land is authentic. Zhang Song and Zhang family have been in Chengdu Prefecture for several generations.
Therefore, his mansion already has the tunnel connecting the city.
As long as he passes through this tunnel, Liu Mang can send all his troops to the city without knowing it. The most sturdy castles are often broken from the inside.
Zhang Song was very sure at first, but he had told Liu Bei that he had never thought that Liu Bei would block the culverts directly.
The plan to break through the city failed.
"It's okay!" Liu Mang waved his hand. Zhang Song's plan could be used, so it would be used, but it couldn't be used. Liu Mang would not force it, because Liu Mang did not include Zhang Song's plan at the beginning.
"Where is the red clothing camp going??" Liu Mang asked Kuai Liang beside him.
"Return to the king, the Red Clothing Camp should be in Chengdu in another two days!" The mountain roads in Yizhou were difficult to move, and the cavalry could not be used to carry out the cavalry, so Liu Mang simply used war horses to consign the Red Clothing Camp's cannons.
"Okay! I'll prepare to attack the city in two days!" Liu Mang nodded. So what if the strong city wall is, let Chengdu Prefecture become the first test item.
"Your Majesty, come to Yangzhou!" Just as Liu Mang was still looking at the city defense of Chengdu Prefecture, Guan Hai walked to Liu Mang and said to Liu Mang.
"Catal Office?" Liu Mang frowned when he saw the visitor. The person who passed the order was not low. The cabinet office was that Liu Mang was not in Yangzhou, and Xu Shu was fully responsible for all matters.
Generally speaking, Xu Shu could not make Liu Mang worry.
Now, someone from the Cabinet Office came to him and Liu Mang. That means something big happened.
Liu Mang stepped back and left. The person from the cabinet office seemed to be saying something to Liu Mang.
"What!" Liu Mang's eyes widened. "Be serious?"
"The King. Every sentence is true! This is a letter from the inner minister!"
"I understand!" Liu Mang took a deep breath. "Tell the inner minister, wait for this matter to end, and I should return to help immediately!"
"yes!"
"Report, report to the lord, outside Chengdu Prefecture, Liu Bei called out and wanted to invite you out for a conversation!"
"Liu Bei!? He also complained to talk to the king?" Zhou Cang said disdainfully. Zhou Cang also saw what Liu Bei did. He used to have a good impression of Guan Yu. Now, Guan Yu is in trouble.
"Since he, Liu Bei, has called him, if he doesn't show up, wouldn't he say I, Liu Mang, are afraid of him?"
Liu Mang walked out of the camp and set up his troops and headed directly outside the camp.
Outside the camp, Liu Mang saw that there were really a lot of people.
There were three armies in total, and Liu Bei’s own troops were naturally Liu Bei’s own troops. Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe were not others. But if Jia Xu had not been looking carefully and Jia Xu was shaking eyes at Liu Mang, he would not have recognized him. The other troops would have been Zhang Lu’s troops.
"The people are quite complete!" Liu Mang said with a faint smile.
"General Liu Bei, the left, has met His Highness the King of Han!" Liu Bei did this superficial work absolutely well. When he saw Liu Mang, he was not angry and directly greeted Liu Mang with fists.
"Uncle Liu, long time no see! I miss you very much!" Liu Mang also nodded to Liu Bei and greeted him.
"It's been a long time since I saw you!" Liu Bei didn't think of Liu Mang at all, because when he met something related to Liu Mang, it meant that Liu Bei was in trouble.
He went from Xuzhou, to Yuzhou, and then to Jingzhou, and finally to Yizhou. Wasn’t it all forced by Liu Mang? So Liu Bei didn’t want to see Liu Mang at all.
"Uncle Liu, since you have come out, we will not say secret words. Let's go out of the city to surrender! In this way, I can leave you a complete body!" Liu Mang had tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Yangzhou under Chengdu, and Liu Mang was at an advantage, but Liu Bei was forced to come to Chengdu Prefecture by Liu Mang, and he could only resist with Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei's troops. So Liu Mang said such words with confidence.
"Your Highness, why are you aggressive?" Liu Bei showed a weakness and looked at Liu Mang over there. "We are all relatives of the Han Dynasty, and we should complement each other, support the Han Dynasty, save the dawn, rather than kill each other! This will only make your relatives feel sad and your enemies." Liu Bei said so righteously,
Liu Mang smiled disdainfully, "It's not that I'm aggressive. If I exchange my position with you, Uncle Liu, will your Uncle Liu let me go?"
Subconsciously, Liu Bei was about to speak out and said no.
Not to mention Liu Mang, if Lu Bu offended him and occupied his Xuzhou, Liu Bei would kill Lu Bu, let alone Liu Mang, who drove him around like a duck-ridden person.
"As for supporting the Han Dynasty, you don't have to worry about Uncle Liu! Even if you, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, still have a trace of good morals, you should hang yourself here now! Let Yizhou be calm again, and let this country of Tianfu return to peace again!" Liu Mang didn't even look at Liu Bei with his eyes on him.
Cao Cao was already thick-skinned and shameless, but Liu Mang didn't hate Cao Cao, nor did he dislike Cao Cao.
Because Cao Cao wanted, he said it out directly
He said I wanted the Left Prime Minister, so he became Sikong. He said I wanted to be the King of Wei, and now he has become the King.
However, Liu Bei clearly wanted everything, but he said it very well, but he didn't want it. However, there were some shameful things in secret.
Mi Zhu and Sun Gan, these individuals all believed in Liu Bei's justice. In the end, no one would have ended up with a good end if it weren't for Liu Mang.
"Is Your Highness the King of Han really nothing to talk about?" Liu Bei was still looking forward to see if Liu Mang could let him go. Even if he bowed his head to Liu Mang, it would be impossible.
"Either you die or the city dies!" Liu Mang gave his final reply.
"If this is the case, Your Highness the King of Han, then there is no wonder Bei!" Liu Bei also shook his head and said to Liu Mang.
"Huh?" Liu Mang frowned. Could it be that Liu Bei had any help?
"Your Highness, can you remember that your Highness, King of Han, just said that your Highness, who only knows how to be loved and suffer?!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Your Highness, you and I are both relatives of the Han Dynasty. We should have loved each other, but it's a pity. You are lost in your mind by power. Now you want to kill me, but you can also give an outsider an opportunity to take advantage of it!" Liu Bei looked regretful.
"Outsider?!" Liu Mang's eyes turned, and he frowned. Could it be that Liu Bei knew the news too?
"Just a few days ago, I got the news that Cao Cao from Yanzhou was collecting food and grass everywhere, and even transferred it from Jizhou Youzhou and Bingzhou!" Liu Bei said while paying attention to Liu Mang's expression on which side. He wanted to see Liu Mang's surprised expression. Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
"So what!" Liu Mang was very calm.
"Don't Your Highness the King of Han finds suspicious? There is no disaster in the past few years. What can Cao Cao do when he hoards food and grass!" Liu Bei said with a smile.
If a prince hoards of food and grass, what else can he do? It is naturally a war.
Everyone around Liu Mang also heard the meaning of Liu Bei's words, and they all looked at Liu Mang. Is this true? Cao Cao in Yanzhou has already started a war with the Yangzhou army?
Most of the troops brought by Liu Mang were Yangzhou New Army, and their homes were all in Yangzhou. If there was a war in Yangzhou, their hearts would be in chaos.
It was a false thing for everyone to get from Liu Mang's mouth, but Liu Mang didn't say that.
"Destroy your Liu Bei, the decisive battle between me and Cao Cao is here!" Liu Mang did not deny at all. "What's the difference between faster and slower? It's coming sooner or later!"
"Aren't you worried about the safety of Yangzhou?" Liu Bei didn't understand. He actually looked at Liu Mang with resentment. You must know that when Liu Bei ran away, there were only more than 10,000 troops around him, but Liu Mang sent tens of thousands of elite troops, and he really looked down on him.
"With Yuan Zhizhi, even if Cao Cao attacks all his head, it will be fine!" Liu Mang didn't care at all, and he was very relaxed, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"You!" Liu Bei was also angry. He was originally planning to use this news to attack the morale of Liu Mang's army, but he did not expect that because Liu Mang's inattention, the soldiers of the Yangzhou army would have more confidence. Not only that, but also because they were eager to return home, they wanted to clean up Liu Bei's thoughts before returning to Yangzhou. The look of Liu Bei's army was wrong. (To be continued...)
