Eight hundred and seventieth chapters the end of Jingzhou
When Zhang Fei woke up, what he saw were red beams, but the feeling underneath him was soft, obviously a soft bed.
Zhang Fei's mind was a little confused. He probably recalled what happened before he fainted. He chased Ma Zhong, and then fell on the horse and couldn't get up because of the severe pain in his abdominal wound. Then...
Then when I opened my eyes, what fell in my eyes was this scene.
Zhang Fei smacked his mouth, as if he felt a little thirsty. He wanted to call someone to give him a drink of water, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know who he should call.
At this moment, a man who looked like a waiter came up and gently put water into Zhang Fei's mouth with a spoon.
Zhang Fei smashed his mouth, turned to look at the waiter who fed him water in confusion, then frowned and said, "Who are you?"
The messenger didn't answer him with an indifferent expression. After feeding him water, he turned around and left.
When Zhang Fei saw that the waiter did not answer his words, his temper suddenly rose again. He shouted at the messenger: "Get here! I asked you a question, didn't you hear?"
The messenger seemed to have not heard anything and walked out of the hall with the water bowl in hand.
Zhang Fei pouted and was sulking aside. At this time, he saw the pottery merchant coming over.
The pottery merchant had been sitting in this room just now, but he didn't speak, so Zhang Fei didn't notice him.
"That person is my subordinate." The pottery merchant quietly answered Zhang Fei's question for the waiter.
Zhang Fei was shocked when he heard this.
He turned his head in surprise, looked at the pottery merchant, and said in confusion: "You scared me to death!"
The pottery merchant held a cup in his hand, which contained tea that Mi Zhu had sent as tribute to him from Xuzhou.
He took a sip gently and said with emotion: "Good tea."
After Zhang Fei was initially shocked and confused, he quickly regained his composure. He stared at the pottery merchant not far away with his big copper bell-like eyes.
"Why don't you kill me?" Zhang Fei roared hoarsely.
The pottery merchant picked up the tea cup and said, "We are old acquaintances. If we count carefully, it seems that we have been together for more than ten years. Why bother to kill each other?"
Zhang Fei snorted heavily: "You want me to surrender to you? I'm dreaming!"
The potter put down his lamp and said, "I know that you are loyal to your brother Liu Bei."
Zhang Fei said angrily: "Since you understand everything, why do you want to spare my life?"
Tao Shang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I was thinking, what if your brother is also willing to surrender to me? In this way, not only will you three brothers not be separated, but you will not suffer the pain of being displaced in the future.
, wouldn’t it be nice?”
Zhang Fei's nose almost became crooked.
Is this bastard telling a joke?
"Tao, stop dreaming here. Will my brother An be able to surrender to you?"
The pottery merchant smiled and picked up a piece of letter and a pen from the desk, shook it at Zhang Fei, and said: "Actually, this is not necessarily true. According to your eldest brother's original intention, he may not surrender to me, but if you
Write a letter to help me persuade him to surrender, and this might be possible. After all, he is a sworn brother who has his head on the ground. Your elder brother will listen to a few words of your words, right?"
Zhang Fei's face twitched with anger.
He felt as if the muscle wound on his abdomen had opened again.
"Leave! Let's go!" Zhang Fei yelled at the pottery merchant angrily.
…
After pacifying the southern part of Jingzhou, the pottery merchants began to gather all the soldiers and horses in the southern part of Jingzhou, and led by the navy, they began to go north to attack Jiangling City.
At present, Jiangling City is being forcibly attacked by powerful armies from the north such as Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, etc. Although the city has not been lost yet, it is like duckweed in the wind, in danger of laying eggs.
At the same time, Liu Bei had sent people to Xichuan to send news to inquire about Liu Zhang's movements.
After all, at this moment, even if he wants to follow Pang Degong's method and run to Xichuan for refuge, it is still unknown whether Liu Zhang is willing to accept him.
Although Liu Zhang and Liu Biao formed an alliance with him at that time, they were all allies at that time, but now he is a lost dog. If people don't want him, he will shamelessly not recruit them.
The envoy who quietly left the city did not go far along the waterway when he met the Xichuan reinforcements who came to meet Liu Bei at the upper reaches of the Xichuan mouth. They hurried back and detailed to Liu Bei the sincerity of Liu Zhang of Xichuan in inviting him to Sichuan.
Liu Bei never expected that Liu Zhang would actually invite him to Sichuan, and he had already sent troops to meet him at Xichuankou.
But no matter what, this is ultimately a good thing for him.
But what Liu Bei didn't know was that Liu Zhang was actually forced to do so now.
Cao Cao, who entered Guanzhong, had already captured the land of Hanzhong. He gathered his elite troops and stationed them in Hanzhong, eyeing the land of Xichuan. For Liu Zhang, this threat was great.
Although Cao Cao has lost the Central Plains today, he still has strong troops under his command, and there are also many fierce generals, and he has the support of the central princes.
Although Liu Zhang's land of Yizhou was fertile and wild, and the people and the country were prosperous, there were few strong generals who were accustomed to fighting. The most powerful among them were Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and others. Even if Zhou Yu, who originally defected, was added,
Liu Zhang seemed to be no match for Cao Cao.
And at this juncture, news about Jingzhou reached his ears.
This suddenly made Liu Zhang very happy. He immediately sent Zhang Ren to Yong'an and sent troops to Xichuankou to carefully observe Liu Bei's movements in Jingzhou.
If Liu Bei and a group of Jingzhou generals could be welcomed into Xichuan and help him fight against the enemy, this would undoubtedly be a great help.
At least they are all from the same clan with the surname Liu, and they all live happily together. They close off Xichuan and let the potters or Cao Cao fight to the death outside Sichuan. This has nothing to do with their clan surnamed Liu.
At least I can live here for the rest of my life and spend the rest of my life happily.
After Liu Bei got this information, he immediately began to plan his escape to the upper reaches and made a list of people to escape with him.
After all, not just anyone can escape with him, so he has to do these things relatively secretly.
In the seventh year of Jiankang, after the pottery merchants pacified the southern part of Jingzhou, they commanded the army to go north and headed straight for Jiangling City. Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others organized an army on the north bank of Jiangling and also cooperated with the pottery merchants, and began to launch a round of attacks towards Jiangling City.
New offensive.
The warships of the pottery merchants were all equipped with trebuchets at this moment, and the warships were on the Sanmianjiang Road of Jiangling City endlessly bombarding the city head of Jiangling City.
The armies of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who attacked from the north, also mobilized various siege weapons from the Central Plains and Yangzhou.
For three consecutive days, the entire Jiangling City was shrouded in flying rocks, like dark clouds, making people feel palpitated and panicked.
