Jingyang is located at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain, on the bank of the Jing River, in the hinterland of the Qinchuan River eight hundred miles away, with the Jing River and the Wei River to the south. It is an important hub area in Guanzhong. Jia Xu and Li Ru led their troops to retreat and gradually approached Jingyang.
The two men were originally stationed in Gaoling, but they lost consecutive battles and had to retreat towards Jingyang.
In the evening, the night is as dark as ink.
The army set up camp, reorganized and rested.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Jia Xu and Li Ru were sitting at the top, and four people, Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, Dianman and Zhou Cang were sitting at the bottom. Huang Zhong, Dianman, Xu Rong and Zhou Cang all looked aggrieved.
appearance, because the four people were defeated one after another, all because of the orders of Jia Xu and Li Ru. If not for the orders of Jia Xu and Li Ru, they would not have failed every time.
Huang Zhong looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Mr. Jia, we have been retreating again and again. When will we counterattack?"
Jia Xu shook his head gently and said: "The time has not come yet, don't worry!"
Dianman rubbed his hands and said: "Mr. Jia, look at Mr. Guo and Mr. Xun, they have been blocking Cao Cao outside Hangu Pass without taking a step back. On the other hand, we retreated all the way. Although we were pretending to fail, we still couldn't.
After the news of the failure spread back to Chengdu, it didn’t look good on us!”
Zhou Cang continued: "Master Jia, if the lord asks, what should we do?"
The two people asked questions repeatedly.
After listening to the two people's questioning words, Jia Xu actually had a smile on his serious cheek. He reached out and took out a letter from his sleeve, then handed it to Huang Zhong and said: "This is the letter sent by the Lord."
, you all take a closer look, so that you won’t be anxious and worried.”
When Li Ru heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
As partners with Jia Xu, he naturally knew what Wang Can wrote in the letter to Jia Xu.
After Huang Zhong saw it, he loudly said: "Be brave and go ahead and do it!"
It was a very simple and popular eight words, but it had Wang Can's signature and seal. After reading it, Huang Zhong showed a bitter smile on his face. Although Wang Can did not express anything clearly, the eight words on the letter showed that
Wang Can's attitude also gave Jia Xu and Li Ru the greatest support.
Xu Rong, Dianman, and Zhou Cang also sighed after reading it.
The four of them could only accept their fate and continue to pretend to be defeated.
Li Ru put his hands on his knees and rubbed them gently, and said: "Don't worry, we will launch a counterattack after we arrive in Jingyang. Please wait patiently for a while, don't be anxious!"
Dianman perked up, with an excited expression on his face, and asked: "Mr. Li, is this really the case?"
Li Ru nodded and admitted.
Dianman looked at Jia Xu again, expecting Jia Xu's reaction.
Jia Xu looked at the expression on Dian Man's young cheeks and felt a little helpless. Why did he choose such a big guy in the first place? If he had known this, he should have chosen Huang Xu. Jia Xu sighed and nodded.
: "When fighting Yuan Shao, we must first be proud of his soldiers and make Yuan Shao arrogant. Therefore, the counterattack will be located in Jingyang. When we arrive in Jingyang, we will start the counterattack."
Noriman laughed and said: "That's great, we finally don't have to continue to retreat."
Huang Zhong then said: "Aman, don't think that we will retreat without defeat. We will have to continue retreating tomorrow morning. There are still three or two days from here to Jingyang."
"ah?"
Noriman exclaimed in surprise and suddenly collapsed.
Hearty laughter sounded in the big tent.
…
Runan, County Sheriff's Mansion.
This was once the place where Wang Can rose to prominence. When Wang Can first came to this era, he started in Runan. At that time, Wang Can was a member of the Yellow Turbans in Runan. Only a few years have passed now.
Can was already the shepherd of Yizhou, the general of Zhennan, and the prince of Shu. His status was completely different from the same.
However, after Wang Can went to Hanzhong to take up his post, Runan was handed over to Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army for garrison.
After Liu Bei led his troops to Runan, he quickly occupied Runan.
Liu Bei took Runan as his foothold, expanded rapidly, established a firm foothold in Yuzhou, and became a prince.
From this we can also see Liu Bei's ability. He used Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as generals, used thunderous means to kill chickens as a warning to monkeys, and killed the wealthy gentry who dared to rebel and cause trouble, but he also opened warehouses to release grain and provide relief to the people, in order to win over the people. It made the people be grateful to Liu Bei and made the people of Yuzhou support him and recognize him.
In a short period of time, Liu Bei gained his own power.
However, Liu Bei still felt that there were not enough talents, because he only had two outstanding civil servants, Jian Yong and Sun Qian, and the rest of the civil servants were average. As for Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, although they were quite successful in business, they could be given a break. From businessmen to officials, there was not enough time for the two of them to show their talents.
Liu Bei did many things himself.
Although Liu Bei was very tired, he was very happy because he enjoyed it.
In the study, Liu Bei was reviewing Yuzhou's military affairs.
At some point, the door creaked open, and an attendant quickly ran in and reported: "Sir, it's bad, the third general and the second general are fighting!"
"Snapped!"
The brush in Liu Bei's hand fell on the bamboo slip, and he immediately stood up and asked, "Come on, take me to see it."
After he stood up, he walked directly out of the study, no longer thinking about reviewing military affairs. As Liu Bei walked, he asked: "What happened? Why did the second brother and the third brother suddenly fight?"
The attendant reported back: "The villain didn't know either. He only knew that a soldier came back to report the news. When the third general learned about it, he was immediately furious. The second general stopped the third general, and there was a conflict between the two."
Liu Bei frowned, with a solemn expression on his face.
He can live without Runan and Yuzhou, but he can never live without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, because these two people are not only his generals, but also his second and third brothers. The three of them share hardships together, and their relationship is beyond ordinary My brothers, if something happened to them, their bones and tendons would undoubtedly be broken.
Not long after, Liu Bei came to the place where the two had a conflict.
At this time, the two were still wrestling together and arguing loudly.
Liu Bei dismissed his attendants and dismissed the soldiers around him. He stepped forward and shouted coldly: "Second brother, third brother, what are you two doing? You are your own brother, and you still won't let go?"
Liu Bei spoke, and the two immediately separated.
Zhang Fei looked indignant and said angrily: "Brother, some soldiers just reported that Chen Gong, the envoy sent by Lu Bu, has come to Runan City. In the past, Chen Gong encouraged Lu Bu to seize my brother's Xuzhou, and now he has come to Runan again. It must be wrong. Bad intentions. After I got the news, I prepared to lead the soldiers to kill Chen Gong, but the second brother stopped me and refused to let me kill Chen Gong. Brother, please judge, did the second brother do the right thing? "
Guan Yu's face turned red, he stretched out his hand to stroke his long beard and shook his head slightly.
Liu Bei said: "Third brother, your second brother did the right thing. He stopped you because of me, not to prevent you from taking revenge."
Zhang Fei looked puzzled and said: "Brother, there is a life-and-death feud between us and Lu Bu. If my eldest brother hadn't taken Lu Bu in, he would still be a stray dog today. But my eldest brother kindly took him in, but he took Xuzhou. So, The arrogant person should have been killed a long time ago. And Chen Gong is the one who instigated Lu Bu, so he should be killed even more!"
Liu Bei said: "Third brother, Chen Gong must have something important to do when he comes here. Let's hear what it is first before talking about it."
Zhang Fei wanted to speak, but Liu Bei glared at him.
Suddenly, Zhang Fei stopped talking.
Ps: The fourth update is completed, it’s time to call it a day and take a break.
