Three Kingdoms lazy man

"My lord, the governor, even borrowed the land of Nanjun from Soochow. When my lord captured Xichuan, not only the land of Jiangnan County will be returned to Soochow, but Jiangxia and Changsha will also be sent to Soochow. What do you think?" At this moment, Zhuge Liang calmly shook the feather fan in his hand, and said softly to Zhou Yu in front of him.

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with serious eyes, feeling a little moved by this condition in his heart, and then said calmly to Zhuge Liang: "If your lord can't be defeated in ten years or a hundred years If Xi Chuan said, wouldn’t these lands be returned?”

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu's aggressive look, thought for a while, then looked at Zhou Yu who was staring at him with a calm expression, and said to Zhou Yu in a soft tone: "If the governor still hesitates like this, I might as well Explain it to the governor! My lord will definitely attack Xichuan within 20 years. If the governor believes it, as long as my lord conquers Xichuan, all the four counties in Jingnan and Nanjun will be returned to Soochow .”

Liu Bei on the side heard what Zhuge Liang said, and suddenly his complexion became a little heavy, and he looked at Zhuge Liang with a little surprise. At this time, Liu Bei couldn't believe such conditions.

"If that's the case, I hope you keep your word. If you violate this agreement at that time, I, Soochow Wu, will destroy you even if I have all the soldiers in the whole country." Zhou Yu's face turned a little bit when he heard Zhuge Liang's conditions. Heartbroken, besides, now Soochow doesn't have too many troops to go out to fight, so after hesitating again and again, I decided to agree to Zhuge Liang.

"Don't worry, Governor, we will keep our word." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu's serious face, and said to Zhou Yu in a hoarse tone.

"In this case, there are still many things to deal with in our army, so I will leave for the time being." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang looking at Liu Bei's heavy face, saluted respectfully, said in a heavy tone, and then slowly said left.

Liu Bei sat on his seat, looked at Zhou Yu's back with Gan Ling leaving, and looked at Zhuge Liang who was shaking the feather fan, and said to Zhuge Liang in a somewhat uncomfortable tone: "Kong Ming! Kong Ming You are so confused, how can you propose such a condition to Zhou Yu?"

At this time, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with a serious expression. Now that the condition Zhuge Liang said, if Xichuan is captured and Jingzhou is given to Soochow, how can Longzhong's strategy be implemented?

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei's heavy face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Liu Bei calmly.

Liu Bei looked at the way Zhuge Liang was shaking the feather fan, and then saw a calm smile on the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth. He looked at Zhuge Liang with a serious expression, and asked Zhuge Liang with some doubts: "Kong Ming, is there something in it? Does it make sense?"

"My lord, what is the meaning of this! If my lord wins the land of Xichuan and joins Jingzhou, does my lord think that Soochow has the ability to contend with my lord?" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, looking Looking at Liu Bei, who looked a little puzzled, he said to Liu Bei in a calm tone.

When Liu Bei heard what Zhuge Liang said, his face suddenly became a little bit interesting, and he said to Zhuge Liang with a little excitement: "What the military master said is true. When the time comes, I have won the land of Yizhou and Jingzhou. So why should I be afraid of Soochow?" , Military division, this strategy is really good to play with."

"Ha ha!" Hearing Liu Bei's praise, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and silently looked out of the big tent. He didn't believe that Zhou Yu was such a witty person I will believe my own words.

Zhou Yu, who was about to return to the barracks, had a heavy expression on his face, and took Gan Ning behind him, and rode on the road on a horse.

At this time, Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu in front of him with a solemn expression, and asked Zhou Yu in a hoarse voice, "Governor, did you really believe what Zhuge Kongming and Liu Bei said?"

Zhou Yu stroked his beard, looked at Gan Ning who was looking at him with a calm expression, sighed helplessly, and finally replied with a heavy tone: "So what if you don't believe it? Now the situation has already forced me to believe it." gone."

After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't understand what Zhou Yu said.

"Now our Soochow army has lost so many soldiers in the battle with Cao Ren, and now we can mobilize less than [-] soldiers, and many of them were mobilized from other places. Now the defenses of Soochow are empty, We don't have the ability to fight Liu Bei now, even if we fight Liu Bei, Cao Ren will still be watching from the north." Zhou Yu looked at the side with a serious expression at this time, and Gan Ning looked a little puzzled, and replied to Gan Ning with a helpless tone .

"Then the governor really took advantage of Liu Bei like this." Gan Ning asked Zhou Yu with a displeased expression when he heard what Zhou Yu said.

"When one day our Soochow regains its real strength, I will naturally use Soochow's real strength to make Liu Bei spit out all the food I ate." Zhou Yu's expression changed immediately when he heard what Gan Ning said. He became a little hideous, finally gritted his teeth, and said to Gan Ning in a hoarse tone.

When Gan Ning heard Zhou Yu's words, he nodded with a serious face, and then rode his horse and followed Zhou Yu to the north.

Zhou Yu returned to his barracks, and ordered to lead his army back to Chaisang, preparing to recuperate and heal his wounds by the way!

During this period.Sun Quan also sent Lu Su to visit Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu told Lu Su the agreement made by Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei. When Lu Su heard Zhou Yu's agreement, he immediately looked at Zhou Yu with a hesitant expression. With a smile on his face, he had no choice but to tell Sun Quan the news.

Sun Quan was a little annoyed at first when he heard that Zhou Yu had returned without success, but after hearing the agreement between Zhou Yu and Liu Bei brought back by Lu Su, he sighed helplessly at last, and calmed down the anger in his heart.

Soochow, which had been on the verge of turmoil recently, has gradually calmed down with Zhou Yu's retreat. Now Soochow is resting and recuperating, and by the way, Shanyue solves internal troubles.

Liu Bei had already won Nanjun, so he commanded his soldiers to capture Yiling City, Jingzhou City and other places that originally belonged to Cao Cao. Now almost three-quarters of the entire Jingxiang Nine Counties have been completely taken over. Occupied by Liu Bei.

In the end, Cao Cao only had Xiangyang, Fancheng, Wancheng, and Xinye counties near Jingzhou to the north.

Cao Ren lost consecutive battles, not only defeated by Zhou Yu, but also captured so many cities by Liu Bei. He felt a little panic in his heart, so he specially sent someone to write to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao received a letter from Cao Ren, learned of the changes in Jingzhou, thought about it for a while, and finally wrote a letter to Cao Ren, and asked Man Chong to bring [-] Cao reinforcements to the south to support Cao Ren.

In the end, Cao Ren got Cao Cao's letter, and Cao Ren sighed helplessly when he saw what was in Cao Cao's letter.

Cao Cao's order was very simple, that is, let Wenpin and Cao Ren divide their troops to defend Xiangyang and Fancheng. No matter how the enemy attacks, they must stick to the city and not go out to fight.

In the end, Cao Ren and Wenpin each commanded [-] soldiers and horses, sitting in Xiangyang and Fancheng, and they were the horns of each other. Seeing this situation, Liu Bei in the south also gave up the idea of ​​using troops in the north.

7 Chapter Sixty

In Shouchun City, Bai Ren is either teaching his students and his son or writing letters to his apprentice all day long, but Bai Ren feels that the time is almost up, and it is time to prepare for a big operation to take Lujiang City return.

"General Qi, there is a person outside who claims to be an envoy from Xuchang and wants to meet the general." Just as Bai Ren was thinking about how to return to the city of Lujiang more often in the room, suddenly something happened outside and he rushed over in a panic , said in a hoarse tone.

"Someone? Xuchang is here?" Hearing the news, Bai Ren suddenly looked a little puzzled and murmured to himself.

Bai Ren thought about it silently, and said to the soldier with a heavy tone, "Go and invite that man over."

The soldier nodded after hearing what Bai Ren said, and quickly left the room.

"Give me the order to call all the generals to come to my place to discuss matters." Bai Ren looked at the soldiers guarding the door with a serious expression at this time, and said to the order in a serious tone.

Not long after, Bai Ren's room was already full of people. Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, and Xia Houba had just recovered from serious injuries, and they also entered the room at this time.

And not long after, I saw a scribe hurriedly rushing outside. He was nine feet tall, had a long beard on his chest, and looked a bit gloomy.

"Mr. Zhongde, how could it be you? Could it be that the prime minister sent you here?" Bai Ren looked at the scribe who appeared in front of him, and asked in a heavy tone that this person was none other than Cheng, the confidant of Cao Cao's subordinates. Yu.

"General Bai, we haven't seen each other for a long time. As you can see today, General Bai is living a good life." Cheng Yu was standing in the lobby at this time, looking at Bai Ren who was sitting in the main seat with a calm expression, and his tone was soft. Said.

"Mr. Zhongde's reputation is too high. What's the important thing for you to come here today?" Bai Ren didn't dare to underestimate Cheng Yu in front of him. After all, this person is Cao Cao's confidant. If he underestimated him At that time, if he said a few bad things about himself in front of Cao Cao, he would feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Yu looked at Bai Ren's vigilant face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he put his hand in his sleeve and took it out.

I saw Cheng Yu took out an imperial decree from his sleeve. At this time, Cheng Yu looked at Bai Ren who was a little hesitant sitting on the main seat with a calm expression, and said to Bai Ren in a calm tone: "Bai Zifu, It’s not too soon to accept the order.”

"General Chen Zhengxi Bai Zifu accepts the order!" Seeing the situation in front of him, Bai Ren's face suddenly became a little heavy, then he stood up from his seat, knelt down on one knee, and said in a heavy tone.

Seeing this situation, the surrounding generals quickly followed Bai Ren and knelt down, looking at Cheng Yu who was standing with a heavy expression.

"The Son of Heaven has an order: Bai Zifu, General of Conquering the West, has made meritorious service in conquering the traitors, benefiting the country and the society. Now Bai Zifu is enfeoffed as Marquis of Hanxia Pihou and promoted to General Wei!" Cheng Yu opened the door with a serious expression. Looking at Bai Ren who was kneeling on the ground with the imperial decree in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Bai Ren in front of him with a heavy tone.

At this moment, Bai Ren knelt on the ground on one knee, and his face suddenly became a little dignified. He has not achieved any success in conquering the city, but has lost Lujiang City. Some slightly bad.

"Bai Zifu, accept the decree!" Seeing that Bai Ren in front of him did not look so happy, Cheng Yu frowned slightly, and then put away the decree.With a calm face, he handed over the imperial decree, and said to Bai Ren in a hoarse tone.

The people around were all looking at Bai Ren at this moment, with a lot of envy in their eyes, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xiahouba and Xiahouba were the ones with the strongest envy in their eyes. Among them, such a title is already very high. Judging by the name, Xiapi City is considered to be Bairen's territory. As for General Wei, this joint is even more serious. It already belongs to the central government and is located in the military. The top five positions are far higher than the current General Zhengxi of Bai Ren. It can be said that the current Bai Ren and the others can no longer be called generals, but can be directly called princes.

At this time, Bai Ren looked at the imperial decree handed over by Cheng Yu with a serious expression, and finally hesitated again and again, carefully stretched out his hand, and took the imperial decree handed over by the other party.

Bai Ren looked at the imperial decree in his hand with a serious expression, carefully looked at Cheng Yu who was standing in front of him, stood up slowly, and asked in a hoarse tone: "Mr. Zhongde, is this the prime minister's intention? Or does it mean His Majesty?"

After hearing Bai Ren's somewhat cautious words, Cheng Yu silently looked at Bai Ren at the side, hesitated for a moment, and said in a calm tone: "The prime minister saw that you have worked hard these past few years and put down Saibei, so It’s like the emperor begged for you!”

"So that's it. Please thank the prime minister for me when you return to Xuchang." When Bai Ren heard such words, the nervous feeling in his heart dissipated a lot, and then he looked at Cheng Yu, who still had a gloomy expression. , said to Cheng Yu with a somewhat excited tone.

"I will naturally reply to the prime minister when the time comes, but the prime minister asked me to give General Bai a word before I come." Cheng Yu looked at the suddenly relaxed Bai Ren, a smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Yu's mouth, and then his tone Some heavy said.

"Oh! Please tell me, sir!" Hearing this news, Bai Ren's face suddenly became a little heavy, and then he looked carefully at Cheng Yu in front of him and said.

Cheng Yu looked at Bai Ren who seemed to be walking on thin ice in front of him, hesitated for a while, and finally replied calmly to Bai Ren in front of him: "The Prime Minister is very dissatisfied with the loss of Lujiang City, and now he specially asked me to inform the general, I hope The general can take Lujiang City back as soon as possible."
