Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Yue Fei looked at the sky at this time, and said to Ran Min: "General Ran, it is already October, and in this weather, even Xiangyang is starting to turn cold, and the next thing is that it will really enter winter, you You should know how big the loss will be if we forcibly attack Xiangyang City in winter?"

Ran Min was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said eagerly: "Although that is the case, should we just surround Xiangyang City and do nothing?"

Li Jing said at this time: "Naturally this is not the case. We have already spread the news of Xiang Yu's death to Xiangyang City a few days ago, but this alone still cannot disturb Xiangyang, and once the weather turns cold, it will be very difficult for our army. It will be extremely unfavorable, so we don't plan to continue to attack Xiangyang this winter, but decided to surround Xiangyang City and start attacking Xiangyang in the coming year. And this year, our Jinpeng Army, Angry Bear Army, Feng The soldiers of the Leopard Army and the Snow Python Army's Fourth Army have all experienced repeated battles. They also need to rest before they can burst into stronger combat power. If they are kept in a state of war, it will be very unfavorable to the development of our army. .”

At this time, Yue Fei picked up Li Jing's words and said: "Of course, this is just a temporary plan that I discussed with Li Junshi and General Wei. Pass."

Ran Min looked a little better after hearing Yue Fei's words.It turns out that this plan has not been finalized yet, no wonder I don't know it yet, how can I say that I am also the chief general of the Angry Bear Army, if Yue Fei and others discuss a battle plan without telling me, then I will definitely sue these people in front of the king .

Chapter 771 Qin and Shu Join Forces

In Chengdu, Yizhou, Liu Bang, king of Shu, leaned on his chin with one hand, lowered his eyes, looked at He Shen, Zhang Song and others in front of him, and said: "Xiang Yu has died outside Wancheng, and Yue Fei led the army into Xiangyang. , given the current situation in Xiangyang, it is estimated that it is impossible to defend, and now we have to see how long Xiangyang City can hold out under the offensive of the Yan army."

After listening to Liu Bang's words, Zhang Song, He Shen and others all had different expressions. Among them, He Shen said to Liu Bang with a smile: "My lord, if you can't defend Xiangyang, you can't. Anyway, we have mountains and rivers in Shu." It is very dangerous and the road is difficult, so it is difficult for us to fight out, but even if the Yan army can take Xiangyang, it will be difficult to fight in."

Liu Bang narrowed his eyes at this moment, and nodded slightly, as if He Shen's words were very suitable for him.However, in the Kingdom of Shu, there are people like He Shen who are good at flattering people, so it is natural that there are people who are upright and can speak out.

Zhang Song, who had an ugly face, strode forward at this time, and said to Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Yan is the most powerful country in the world, and now it is on the verge of swallowing the Kingdom of Chu. If the land is completely digested, I am afraid that the strength of the Yan Kingdom will not be something we can resist."

Liu Bang is not a person who will indulge in pleasure. Perhaps Liu Bang is not as good as other emperors through the ages in many places, but what Liu Bang can do best is to be able to listen to other people's words, even if he has He Shen around him. He is the most flattering person, but Liu Bang can still listen to other people's advice.

At this moment, Zhang Song's words made Liu Bang wake up. If Yan State swallowed Chu State, then I am afraid that no one in today's world can stop Yan State.So at this time Liu Bang corrected his posture, looked at Zhang Song, and asked, "Zi Qiao, what should we do in your opinion?"

At this time, Zhang Song saluted Liu Bang and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, what we need now is to send troops to Jingzhou while the army of Yan State is besieging Xiangyang. It is best to capture Jingzhou, so that our Shu Kingdom Can have a chance to win the world."

Liu Bangdao: "But I'm afraid this Jingzhou is not easy to fight? Then the Yan Kingdom now has a full army of 10,000+ in Jingzhou. Even if we all go out with the strength of our Shu Kingdom, it will be difficult to defeat Jingzhou."

Zhang Song said again: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although this feather is dead, Chu State still has tens of thousands of troops in Xiangyang City. In addition to the [-] Chu troops in Jingnan, no matter how strong Yan State is, Yue Fei and others No matter how fierce the people are, they will not be able to defeat Xiangyang without enough time. And this period of time is enough for us to dispatch our troops, and more importantly, we are not the only ones who can realize the threat of Yan Kingdom to us?"

At this time, Liu Bang's eyes fell on Zhang Song, and he asked, "Zi Qiao, you mean to unite with Qin State?"

Zhang Song nodded and said: "That's right. Now there are only four kingdoms in the world: Yan, Chu, Qin, and Shu. Now that Chu is being attacked by Yan, if Yan destroys Chu, then it will naturally be the target of attack." Turn the direction, either attack our Shu country or attack Qin country. Regardless of the difficulty of attacking or the strategic sense, the first target of Yan country must be Qin country, so Qin country should be more anxious than us at this time."

He Shen interjected at this time: "Then, according to Mr. Zhang, why should we send troops? Anyway, after Yan State destroyed Chu State, there is still a Qin State blocking it, so we can't kill our Shu State."

"Hmph! Short-sighted people." Zhang Song took a look at He Shen, and uttered such a sentence coldly, which made He Shen furious. If it weren't for the concern that Liu Bang was still here, He Shen might already be He made a move on Zhang Song.

Zhang Song ignored He Shen at this time, but said to Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, the strength of the Yan Kingdom is no longer strong enough for one country to resist. Of course, the Yan Kingdom will deal with Qin before attacking our Shu Kingdom, but Once the Qin State is destroyed, our Shu State will independently face the Yan State, which occupies [-]% of the world, so we must not wait for the Yan State to kill us. We must unite with the Qin State at this time to fight against the Yan State, otherwise our Shu The country cannot escape the fate of being destroyed, and we can also take advantage of this opportunity to drive the army into Jingzhou, occupy Jingzhou, and benefit the state behind, just wait for the north to change, our country of Shu can send two groups of troops, All the way from Hanzhong, all the way from Jingzhou, the world can start."

He Shen was silent when he heard what Zhang Song said. As a treacherous minister who is good at flattering, He Shen is the best at figuring out what he wants, and according to He Shen's understanding of Liu Bang, Liu Bang must be persuaded by Zhang Song at this time up.At this time, if I say anything contrary to what Zhang Song said, Liu Bang will be displeased. This is not what He Shen wants to see, so at this time He Shen stood quietly with his hands tied, Look directly at your toes and nothing else.

And He Shen's performance also made Zhang Song feel a little strange. Normally, He Shen would stand up to refute himself, but today He Shen was unexpectedly quiet, which made Zhang Song a little unaccustomed to it.

Liu Bang took a deep breath at this time, and then said to Zhang Song: "Zi Qiao, but then Qin State may not form an alliance with our Shu State to deal with Yan State?"

Zhang Song stepped forward again at this time, recommending himself: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Song is willing to go to Chang'an in person, and he will surely convince that Qin King Yingzheng."

Liu Bang glanced at Zhang Song, as if he wanted to see something else in Zhang Song's eyes, but Liu Bang was disappointed in the end, he couldn't see anything else in Zhang Song's eyes, and for Liu Bang's In terms of sight, Zhang Song didn't dodge at all, just staring at Zhang Song there.

In the end Liu Bang still made a decision: "Okay, since that's the case, Zi Qiao, then I will leave this matter to you. You must convince Qin, and it is best to come back before the spring. It is already It's November, Ziqiao, you should set off immediately, I hope that by the beginning of spring next year, we can join Qin to fight against Yan."

Zhang Song cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Song is confident enough to convince King Qin this time."

Liu Bang said: "Okay, then the king is waiting for Ziqiao's good news in Chengdu."

Zhang Song said to Liu Bang again at this time: "However, my lord, if we want to persuade King Qin, I'm afraid we need to let General Liu and General Zhang retreat temporarily to show the sincerity of our Shu Kingdom."

After thinking for a while, Liu Bang understood what Zhang Song was worried about. He immediately waved his hand and said to Zhang Song: "Zi Qiao, don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will let Zhang Ren and Liu Yu back. It doesn’t make any achievements, and staying any longer is a waste of food and grass.”

Zhang Song smiled after receiving Liu Bang's affirmative answer, and then withdrew.But although Zhang Song was smiling, Zhang Song's smile was uglier than crying.

After Zhang Song retreated, He Shen also resigned to Liu Bang.After Zhang Song, He Shen and others retreated successively, Liu Bang also returned to his own Shu Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the palace, Liu Bang thought of the woman Lu Zhi who was taken into the harem by him not long ago. Although this name is somewhat similar to the empress Lu Zhi of Han Gaozu, these are not problems. The woman's appearance made Liu Bang's heart very hot, and thinking of Lu's pheasant's respect for him every day and every night, Liu Bang's heart felt even more comfortable.

In the winter of this year, Zhang Song left Chengdu, the Kingdom of Shu, and entered Chang'an City, the new capital of the Great Qin Dynasty. .

After entering Chang'an, Yingzheng knew Zhang Song's intention of coming, and after the new year Yingzheng met Zhang Song on the new Weiyang Palace, and then Zhang Song was in front of the King of Qin Yingzheng, in the Great Qin Dynasty. In the royal palace, there was a verbal battle with the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty. In the end, King Qin Yingzheng agreed to join forces with the Kingdom of Shu and send troops eastward together to fight against the mighty Kingdom of Yan.

Zhang Song also began to return to Chengdu after completing the task.

Chapter 772 Le Yi Attacks Nanyang

In Chengdu, Yizhou, Liu Bang just got up from Lu Zhi's soft body. Looking at the shy expression of Lu Zhi behind him, Liu Bang was so angry that he could hardly suppress it.However, Liu Bang was rational at any rate, knowing that this was not the time to do such a thing, so Liu Bang tried his best to control his desire and left the gentle town.

After Liu Bang left, Lu Zhi lay down on the phoenix couch, looking at the direction where Liu Bang left, with a blurred look in his eyes, as if he was entangled and struggling for something.

However, Liu Bang didn't know anything about Lu Zhi's changes. At this time, Liu Bang had already walked out of Chengdu City under the welcome of many civil and military personnel under his command, and waited quietly ten miles outside the city.

When that Zhang Song came to Chengdu outside the city riding on a war horse, and saw Liu Bang waiting for him ten miles outside the city, Zhang Song was so excited that tears filled his eyes. Zhang Song quickly got off his horse and ran all the way to Liu Bang, looking at Liu Bang's appearance, he was too excited to speak.

And Liu Bang looked at Zhang Song and said with a smile: "Zi Qiao, this time is thanks to you."

Zhang Songdao: "Serving the king is the duty of a humble minister."

Liu Bang nodded and said, "Good! Good! Good! Come on, Ziqiao, I've already held a banquet in the city. Tonight we won't go home until we're drunk."

Zhang Song nodded, and then followed Liu Bang into the city of Chengdu.

A few days after Zhang Song returned to Chengdu, Han Xin, the general of Shu, led [-] elite soldiers of Shu, claiming to have a force of [-], from Chengdu, heading east to Jingzhou.And this time, among the [-] Shu army led by Han Xin, except for the [-] Han soldiers, the remaining [-] soldiers and horses were the southern barbarians subdued by the Shu Kingdom. Han Xin, Zhang Song's elder brother Zhang Su was the military adviser, and the Nanman King Meng Huo was the deputy general. Besides, there were Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, Wu Shangzhi, Chai Rong, Cen Peng, Du Mao, Hu Qiang, He Yuanqing, Mu Lu, Wu Tugu, Ju Wuba and other powerful generals of the Shu Kingdom.

There are more than 400 million common people in the Kingdom of Shu, and the total number of soldiers and horses in the country is as many as 15. If the southern barbarians are added, the total number of soldiers capable of fighting in the Kingdom of Shu will exceed 20.And this time Liu Bang directly handed over 8 people to Han Xin, which can be said to have attached great importance to Han Xin's dispatch of troops this time.

And Liu Bang is still waiting for Han Xin's follow-up news. Once Han Xin has gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, even if he fails to capture Jingzhou, as long as Han Xin can win a small piece of land in Jingzhou, then Liu Bang will take Zhang Ren, Liu Yu All the others were dispatched to support Han Xin.

But now Liu Bang is still unwilling to send all the soldiers and horses under his command. Although Zhang Ren and Liu Yu have withdrawn to the hinterland of Hanzhong, they are still stationed in Hanzhong under Liu Bang's order. The reason is that Liu Bang does not trust them. Yingzheng, although Qin and Shu have temporarily reached an alliance, Liu Bang also knows that the existence of the alliance is to dissolve it. Once Shu puts all its troops into the Jingzhou battlefield, leaving the rear empty, then Liu Bang is 100% sure that Yingzheng definitely had thoughts that he shouldn't have had on the mainland of Shu.

If the current state of Qin can win Yizhou, it will be able to form an east-west confrontation with the state of Yan, and it is not impossible to compete with the state of Yan, so now Liu Bang is more prepared for Ying Zheng.Unless it is confirmed that Han Xin has established a firm foothold in Jingzhou, Liu Bang will never come out in full force.

After Han Xin took the order, he led the 8 troops from Chengdu to Jingzhou. Although the mountain road was rugged, but fortunately, among the [-] men under Han Xin, the other [-] Shu soldiers were excluded besides the [-] barbarians. I am also a native of Yizhou, and walking in the mountains is no problem, so marching all the way is not a big problem.As for the [-] southern barbarians, walking in the mountains has almost become their instinct, so

However, the difficulty of the road to Shu is not just talk, so even if Han Xin's [-] troops are rushing all the way eastward under Han Xin's order, they will not be able to reach Jingzhou in less than a month, and a month is conservative. It is estimated that if there is any problem on the road, it may take longer.

On the other hand, since Liu Bang has sent troops, Yingzheng is not just sitting idly by. After all, Liu Bang occupies Yizhou, and he can stick to it based on Yizhou's geographical advantages. But if Chu State is destroyed by Yan State, Yingzheng can be sure that Gongsun Xu The next target is absolutely himself, so in order to delay the speed of Yan State's attack on him, and to gain a little more confidence in his future battle for the world, Ying Zheng decisively decided to send troops.

However, although it was decided to send troops, there was a lot of quarrels about who should be the commander of this army. Now the most suitable candidate for the commander of the Qin State is naturally Wang Jian, but Wang Jian needs to sit in Guanzhong at this time, while the others However, he did not have the qualifications to overwhelm everyone like Wang Jian, so after thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng chose the former general of Wei State Le Yi as the main general of the eastward march.

Of course, because Le Yi is a surrendered general after all, he is not as good as the other generals of the Yan State in terms of background and connections in the Qin State, but Le Yi has the support of King Qin Yingzheng and Prince Qin Ying Fusu, so this general The position fell into Le Yi's hands. At the same time, in order to help Le Yi stabilize the situation, under Ying Zheng's instruction, Sima Yi became Le Yi's military adviser. At the same time, Ying Zheng let Xu Shiji, Huang Chao, Fu Jian, Deng Tianwang, Deng Yu, Gao Chong, Long Qi, Shi Jingsi and others obeyed orders under Le Yi's command.

After being appointed by Ying Zheng, Le Yi assembled an army of [-] in Chang'an City, and set off from Chang'an City towards Yuzhou.

And Le Yi's movements were very fast. The [-] Qin army entered Nanyang under his leadership and rushed all the way, captured Danshui, Nanxiang and other counties, and then swept across the entire western part of Nanyang. Within half a month, Le Yi It is to lead the [-] Qin army under his command to bring the entire western part of Nanyang under control.

In Nanxiang County, Le Yi stood with a sword in his hand, looked at the many Qin army generals in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The western part of Nanyang is now under our control. What should I do next?"

Le Yi knew that he was not experienced enough in the Qin army, so before each battle, Le Yi had to gather all the generals of the Qin army under his command, and then discuss the battle plan. Although this is more troublesome, the negotiation In the process of executing the combat plan, nothing happened.

Moreover, in the process of bringing the western part of Nanyang under control, Le Yi also established a certain prestige in the hearts of these generals of the Qin army. At least when Le Yi just led the army, many generals were very fond of Le Yi. It's a bit contemptuous, after all, Le Yi is just a general, and when he was in Wei State, Le Yi was not a very famous figure, and then Le Yi suddenly became the main general of this Qin army, and he refused to accept it. There are plenty of people.
