Liu Bei saw Yi Ji punching sincerely, so he hurriedly helped Yi Ji up and said: "Sir, I am sincere and I am very grateful. However, I am just a dependent person. I am afraid I have failed to live up to your sincerity."
Yi Ji smiled and said: "I have looked around the people in Jingzhou, but I have never seen anyone with such magnanimity as General Liu. General Liu's temporary disfavor does not mean permanent disfavor. Now that Jingzhou is in turmoil, it is the time for men to make contributions.
, Chu Hou Liu Qi was weak, although Kuai Yue
However, it is not enough to deter the whole state. The four counties of Jiangxia and Jingnan are not subject to transfer orders. The general is in the north, and Li Feng, the prefect of Nanyang, is a mediocre person. If the general takes Nanyang first and then Xiangyang, with the general's brave strategy, he will definitely be able to conquer Jingzhou.
It’s in your own hands.”
When Liu Bei saw that Yi Ji had similar ideas to his own, he laughed and said, "What you said is exactly what I meant. Come on, let's get together in Xinye."
The two mounted their horses together and walked side by side. Along the way, Liu Bei and Yi Ji chatted with each other, and they were very speculative.
After nightfall, Liu Bei and Yi Ji had just arrived at Xinye County. In the small Xinye County, the city towers were brightly lit, and patrolling soldiers came and went frequently. Although the city was small, it was still a place to live, and it was managed in an orderly manner by Liu Bei.
Mi Fang stood on the city tower and saw Liu Bei and Yi Ji coming back, so she took the initiative to open the city gate and welcomed Liu Bei and Yi Ji in.
"My lord, why did you come back? General Guan took away five hundred sergeants and hurried away. He said it was my lord's wish, and my subordinates couldn't stop him for a while." Although Mi Fang is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, in terms of closeness, she and Guan Yu
, Zhang Fei was far behind. But he was always jealous. When Guan Yu led his troops out of the city, he didn't even stop him. Now he started making trouble in front of Liu Bei again.
"Well, it is my order for Yun Chang to lead his troops out of the city. There is no need to stop him. Where is Tian Yu?" Liu Bei asked.
Mi Fang originally wanted to fan the flames, but she didn't know it was Liu Bei's intention. Fortunately, she didn't stop him at that time. Otherwise, with Guan Yu's temper, it would be strange not to beat him. At this time, when Mi Fang asked Tian Yu, she answered
Said: "Tian Yu is defending at the north gate."
Apart from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei only had two people who could lead troops in battle. One was his brother-in-law Mi Fang, and the other was Tian Yu. Apart from these, no other generals dared to follow him.
When he was in Xuzhou, he was at his most prosperous. At that time, he commanded the troops in Xuzhou and had more than a dozen generals under his command. Unfortunately, they all died in the battle against Cao Cao who invaded Xuzhou. After that, he has been in trouble.
He was displaced and has no place to settle down until today.
"Go and call Tian Yu, and also Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong. Come to the hall of the county government office. I have something to tell you." Liu Bei said to Mi Fang.
Mi Fang nodded, glanced at Yi Ji who was following Liu Bei, and asked: "My lord, who is this gentleman?"
"Oh, I'm Yi Ji, Uncle Ji, and I've met General Mi." Yi Ji hurriedly raised his hands.
Mi Fang also gave him a friendly hand, but he had never heard of this person and didn't have a cold, so he turned around and left.
Liu Bei and Yi Ji came to the county government hall together. After a while, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Fang, and Tian Yu all came together.
Everyone paid homage together and said, "See you, Lord."
Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, today I will introduce someone to you. This is Mr. Yiji. From now on, he is one of our own. He will serve as my staff for the time being. Let's get closer to each other in the future."
.”
With a smile on his face, Yi Ji cupped his hands and said, "I, Yi Ji, have met all of you, general."
Everyone also bowed their hands together to show friendship.
Liu Bei said: "Now that Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, has passed away, and his son Liu Qi has just taken over Jingzhou, the four counties of Jiangxia and Jingnan do not obey his orders. At this time of chaos, it is also the day of our rise. I have ordered Yunchang.
, Yide is going to capture the county town of Nanyang. We must capture Nanyang first, use Nanyang as the foundation, and then conquer Jingzhou. Although we have few soldiers and few generals, I believe that we will definitely fight for the world."
Tian Yu said: "My lord, General Guan only brought five hundred sergeants to Wancheng. My subordinates think that the number of troops is too small. I am willing to bring another troop to support."
Liu Bei said: "No need, you and Mi Fang have more important things to do. Mi Fang, Tian Yu listen to your orders."
Mi Fang and Tian Yu replied in unison: "The general is here!"
"I order you two to lead a thousand soldiers each, one to attack Anzhong and the other to attack Huyang. These two counties are very close to Xinye. Only by capturing these two counties can the threat to Xinye be eliminated."
"No!" Mi Fang and Tian Yu replied in unison.
"Lord, I am willing to lead troops to attack Chaoyang County. This county is the only way from Xiangyang to Xinye. We can set up a defense line along the Feishui River to prevent Xiangyang's soldiers and horses from attacking Xinye. There is a narrow place there.
, can be intercepted, there is a wonderful thing about one man who can block everything." A young man with a slender body and fine features walked in from outside the hall, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old at best.
When Liu Bei saw the man arriving, he smiled happily and said, "Tzuyu, are you here?"
This young man is none other than Zhuge Jin. Ever since he attached the entire tribe to Liu Bei in Xia Qiu, he has never officially joined Liu Bei's command and has always regarded himself as a commoner. But today is an exception. He came in person and took the initiative to request
The meaning of leading troops to fight is already obvious.
Zhuge Jin walked straight into the hall, looked around at the people present, then clasped his fists and said, "General Liu, Ziyu is here this time to serve under General Liu, and I ask General Liu to accept him."
Liu Bei felt very strange. Ever since he accepted the Zhuge clan in Xia Qiu, although Zhuge clan followed him to Xinye, he felt aloof from him. He also sent people to recruit Zhuge Jin, but was met by Zhuge Jin.
Jin refused, saying that she wanted to take care of her young brother.
Zhuge Jin came uninvited this time, which was beyond his surprise, so he asked: "I sent someone to invite Tzuyu last time, but Tzuyu didn't come, why do you come uninvited today?"
"When the time is ripe, it is natural for me to come. Last time, the time was not ripe. Even if I came, I would just be idle and have nothing to do. Why don't I take care of my two younger brothers at home? Now that the time is ripe, it is time to come.
It's time for me to come and serve." Zhuge Jin replied seriously.
Liu Bei said: "Oh? Then I would like to hear, when the time is right?"
"The Marquis of Chu, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, died. Although his son Liu Qi took over Jingzhou, he was not able to convince the public. Although he was assisted by the Prime Minister Kuai Yue, Liu Qi had a gentle temper and was not a person who accomplished great things. Generally, those who achieve great things will
We must endure what ordinary people cannot endure. General Liu has been wandering among the princes for several years. Although he has not yet found a place to live, this kind of experience has
History is not necessarily a good thing. Now that the time is ripe, it is the time for General Liu to rise. Naturally, I, Zhuge Jin, am grateful to General Liu for saving my father's life. I, the Zhuge family, have received the protection of General Liu, so it is appropriate for me to do so.
It's time to repay General Liu. If General Liu doesn't dislike him, I, Zhuge Ziyu, am willing to follow the general from now on, in front of the horse and behind the horse, without hesitation."
When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Jin's words, his blood surged. He immediately stood up, walked to Zhuge Jin's side, helped Zhuge Jin up personally, and said with a smile: "Tzuyu came at the right time..."
Before Zhuge Jin could reply, he immediately said: "My lord, it is important to have a quick army and it is not too late to do anything. My lord has been training your soldiers secretly for the past few days just for today. We should send out troops overnight to capture the three counties with lightning speed."
The land, with great authority."
Liu Bei said: "Okay! Then I will allocate a thousand soldiers and horses to Ziyu to fetch the morning sun. We will set off tonight."
"My lord, our army has a total of four thousand troops. General Guan took away five hundred. Now my lord has allocated another three thousand. There are only five hundred people left in Xinye. Is there any danger?" Mi Fang asked worriedly.
Zhuge Jin said: "Don't worry, General Mi. No one dares to touch the lord now. Only the lord can take Nanyang as his own if he strikes first. The prefects and county magistrates in Nanyang all obey Liu Qi's orders, and Liu Qi will not be allowed to do anything."
Order, even if they have great courage, they don't dare to act recklessly. Therefore, this gives the lord a chance to strike first. Once Nanyang is captured, Liu Qi will dispatch his troops, but I'm afraid it will be too late."
Liu Bei said: "What Ziyu said makes sense. Don't have any scruples. Let's go now."
"promise!"
Later, Mi Fang, Tian Yu, and Zhuge Jin each led an army out of the city, while Liu Bei stood on the tower to see them off.
……………………
Nanyang, Wancheng.
Li Feng had just woken up and greedily kissed the beautiful woman in his arms, rubbed his hands on the beautiful woman's breasts a few times, and then jumped down from the bed naked.
"Sir, are you not feeling well while you serve me?" A beautiful woman lying on the bed said coquettishly.
Li Feng looked back at the beauty, looked at her plump and graceful body, and smiled evilly: "You little goblin, you were not satisfied after being fucked by me three times last night, do you want to drain me dry?"
"What are you talking about? How could this slave think that way? I just want to stay by your side for a while. Besides, your master is strong and strong. It will take seven times, not just three times."
Li Feng chuckled and said: "You little goblin, come here, let me take care of you again, feed you first, and then go out to do serious things."
"Isn't this a serious matter? Your Majesty has always wanted a son. I will give birth to him ten or eight times for you, as long as you can come to my place every day."
"Hey, you have such a sweet mouth. Come on, let me kiss you."
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door immediately.
"Who the hell dares to disturb my sweet dream without even a wink?" Li Feng said.
"Sir, a black-faced man came outside. He injured many government officials and clamored to see you..."
"You bastard, where did you get this bastard to be so blind?" Li Feng turned to the beauty and said, "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
