Chapter 542: I’ve been waiting for you for a long time
Seeing that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were high-spirited and seemed to have the same hatred as Ma Liang and him regarding Yi Xiaotian, Li Yue hurriedly agreed, and finally mentioned the last thing Ma Liang told him:
"There is another thing that Fourth Master told us... I don't know whether to say it or not..."
Li Yue shrank his neck, looking a little wretched, and his tone was a little cowardly.
However, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were happy, so they said to Li Yue:
"It's okay, Manager Li. The fourth master of the Ma family has done us such a big favor. As long as we can do it, we will definitely satisfy the fourth master!"
When Zhou Yu spoke, his title changed. He called Ma Liang Fourth Master directly, which was considered as showing Ma Liang enough respect.
When Li Yue heard about the drama, he immediately beamed:
"The Fourth Master hates Yi Xiaotian so much... My young father-in-law was humiliated to death by that Yi Xiaotian. The Fourth Master does not seek wealth or an official position, he just wants to be able to let the Four of them go when they catch Yi Xiaotian.
I will also participate...if I can cut off Yi Xiaotian's head with my own hands..."
Li Yue's eyes showed a cold light.
Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu only thought for a moment and nodded heavily.
"It's easy to say! As long as the city is broken and Yi Xiaotian is captured, we will definitely hand this butcher knife into the hands of Fourth Master Ma!"
Zhuge Liang agreed to Li Yue as soon as he slapped the table.
In the night, the sound of three people laughing rang out in the bright tent.
——
The next day, in accordance with the previous instructions, Huang Gai headed straight to Xiangyang along the waterway. Twenty thousand sailors led nearly 500 large and small ships, and they sailed up the river. Although the speed was slow, it was the next step to siege Xiangyang and its important part.
ring.
"As long as General Huang arrives at Fanshui, we will attack Xiangyang together, and Yi Xiaotian will never come back!"
Zhou Yu watched the ship leave from a distance, with a smile on his lips, looking confident.
He was an expert in water warfare, so Zhuge Liang didn't interfere at all.
According to Zhou Yu's idea, because of the news sent by Ma Liang yesterday, they learned that Xiangyang only had 5,000 troops at the moment, and they could not defend the city, let alone fight them on the water.
Yi Xiaotian must have wanted to use Fan Shui as a barrier, focus on defending the city, and abandon the water battle.
But how could a shrewd person like Zhou Yu let Yi Xiaotian avoid the important and take the easy?
"Yi Xiaotian must have thought that Fanshui east of Xiangyang would become their barrier. I will make Yi Xiaotian understand what it means to attack both by land and water!"
Zhuge Liang also smiled. The cavalry he sent out, 20,000 light cavalry led by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, as long as they could intercept the rear of Xiangyang, then Xiangyang would become an isolated city within a hundred miles.
"Coupled with my tactics, which are similar to those of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, we are already guaranteed to win the battle at Xiangyang!"
Yes, because he was guarding the city, it was impossible for Yi Xiaotian to go out to fight. Zhuge Liang thought he had seen clearly.
The tactic of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao could not be better used at this time - if Cao Cao has reinforcements to rush to Xiangyang, then Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei can easily kill the enemy and bring a heavy blow to Cao Cao... not only the strength of the troops, but also the
morale.
"kill…"
Zhuge Liang got into the car with a smile, and Zhou Yu got into the car with a smile - only Liu Bei was sandwiched between the two, looking around like a fool, not knowing what the two were talking about.
"I still want to kill my heart..."
"Lord, it's time to set off, give the order."
Zhuge Liang poked his head in the car and shouted to Liu Bei who was stunned at the side.
Only then did Liu Bei realize it. He drew his long sword, stood in front of the other generals, and shouted loudly:
"Army attack!"
——
Two days and one night, just as Zhuge Liang said, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were able to see Xiangyang City from a distance.
Twenty thousand light cavalry were behind them. Zhang Fei had just given the order, so the army temporarily stopped advancing... because they had another purpose for their trip.
"Manager Li! We are here, you have to walk the road ahead by yourself."
Zhao Yun greeted a riding figure not far behind.
Li Yue hurriedly ran forward.
"Thank you for your hard work, two generals! I won't bother you with the road ahead. The fourth master should have sent someone to pick me up at this moment... let's say goodbye!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Li Yuechong handed over to the two of them, while Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun returned the gesture expressionlessly.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Yue rushed down the mountain excitedly.
Ten miles... The night was thick, and the scene in front of Li Yue was a little blurry, but he could still roughly see the outline of Xiangyang City, and even more...
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Li Yue looked excitedly at a little light in the darkness in the distance.
The fire swayed rhythmically on the ground, which was exactly the code Ma Liang told him before.
The horse sped up, and Li Yue could no longer conceal his excitement. He felt that he must have done something earth-shattering and earth-shattering on this trip, and finally gave Ma Liang a long face.
He even began to imagine how Ma Liang would reward himself when he returned to the city... He doesn't like jewelry, but he likes beauties... "Little Hongyuan! You, Mr. Li Daguan, are here!"
Little Hongyuan is the signature of Du Wen's Hongxiu Tower. Li Yue felt that if he risked his life to deliver a message to Ma Liang and Ma Liang greeted Du Wen and the Du family head, wouldn't Little Hongyuan be allowed to throw herself into his arms?
I was thinking this in my mind, but suddenly, something went wrong.
The smile on Li Yue's face had not dissipated. As he got closer and closer to the lights, he saw a servant of Ma Mansion who was extremely stiff and pale.
After slowing down, Li Yue finally stopped his horse in front of the servant.
Li Yue dismounted and walked up to him. In front of his servants, Li Yue looked absolutely majestic.
"You're the only one here?...I want to ask you something! Why are you shaking!"
Li Yue curled his lips and his nose almost went up to the sky. He felt that the other party should be happy when he came back, right?
But the other person had been shaking since he saw him just now, and Li Yue's good mood disappeared. He slumped and patted the other person's face.
"What are you doing standing still? Let's go! Lead the way!"
However, the other party was shaking even more violently. He was holding a small lantern in his hand, and his teeth kept chattering. Finally, he looked at Li Yue in horror and squeezed out a few words through his teeth:
"Master... let's go... we can't leave..."
"Huh? You can't walk? Why? Is your leg broken or mine? Just kidding..."
Li Yue looked angry and was about to beat the servant, but suddenly he heard a voice that scared him to the depths of his soul.
"His leg is not broken, yours is fast."
Li Yue froze... Before he saw the face of the visitor, his body was already as stiff as the servant.
He asked the other party not to tremble, but his mouth started to tremble.
"Strong... strong man... you... you... why are you here?"
"Why am I here?"
Xu Chu frowned slightly, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, and pressed the two of them on their shoulders.
"According to your order, I have been waiting for you here for two days!"
"No...no...don't! Don't hit me..."
In the night, a scream rang out, but unfortunately, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei on the mountain did not hear it.
