Chapter 12 Liang has his own arrangements

Luo Yuan said stubbornly, "You can't blame me for this. If you hadn't been nagging me along the way, how could I be wrong? The Third General must be your fault. You disturbed me!"

"Pooh!"

Zhang Fei was so helpless. Luo Gongqi was so shameless.

Gan Ning understood. It turned out that Luo Yuan and Zhang Fei were going to Xiangyang, but they lost their way and ran to Jiangxia, where they met him. This was really fate.

Could this be God's will?

He suddenly felt that it was God's arrangement that made him meet Luo Yuan and Zhang Fei, and that it was God who made him join Liu Bei.

Since he wanted to surrender to the emperor's uncle, he must have gifts. Huang Zu of Jiangxia was an incompetent man. Wouldn't it be nice if he could capture Jiangxia and give it to the emperor's uncle as a gift?

"Gongqi, three generals, how about we take over Jiangxia?"

Zhang Fei said, "Xingba, Gongqi and I originally planned to occupy Xiangyang. Liu Biao is dead, and Cai Mao and others have always been dissatisfied with my elder brother. Gongqi and I want to kill them!"

Gan Ning glared at Zhang Fei and Luo Yuan and said, “How dare you!”

Xiangyang is the base of Jingzhou and is surrounded by heavy troops. Zhang Fei and Luo Yuan wanted to attack Xiangyang. They were really scary heroes.

I don’t even dare to think about being a pirate.

Gan Ning said: "There are numerous soldiers in Xiangyang, have you not considered what might happen?
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Gongqi said he had a way to take Xiangyang. You now know that Gongqi is very vicious. Didn't you almost get killed by him? I have the courage of ten thousand men, and Gongqi is a rare ruthless man in the world. Why should I be afraid of Cai Mao and others? Now with you, I am even more confident!"

Gan Ning felt like he didn't know what to say. He thought he was very great, but compared to Zhang Fei and Luo Yuan, were they the kind of people who could accomplish great things?
It turns out that great people always have great ideas from the very beginning.

Not everyone can compare to it.

Luo Yuan didn't say anything. He was wondering whether he should go to Xiangyang. He had already arrived in Jiangxia, and it would take several more days to get to Xiangyang. It had been three days since he and Zhang Fei left Xinye, and it would take another week to get to Xiangyang.

Of course, scheming to capture Xiangyang is not as simple as Zhang Fei said. It also requires various arrangements. Do you really think that Cai Mao and his men will surrender obediently?

According to Luo Yuan's original plan, it would take at least half a month to capture Xiangyang. By that time, Cao Cao in the north should have arrived. Zhuge Liang would take Liu Bei to fight Cao Cao first, and when they retreated and burned Xinye, he would almost capture Xiangyang, which would be a good retreat for Liu Bei.

But now there are four or five extra days, and there is not enough time.

Jiangxia’s strategic position is equally important. It has a dangerous terrain, convenient access to the Yangtze River, and waterways all around. According to the original estimated route, this place will also be Liu Bei’s final retreat.

It’s actually not bad to take over Jiangxia.

Luo Yuan immediately decided: "Third General, we are not going to Xiangyang!"

"What? Didn't we agree on this? Why did you change your mind? How could you do this?" Zhang Fei was a little angry.

How can we change our minds about something we have agreed on?
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "There is no constant situation in the army, and there is no constant shape in the water. The best way of military strategy is to follow the situation. This is my way of using troops. You know nothing. You change your mind at any time. Xiangyang is heavily guarded. Even if you are very powerful, it will take half a month for the two of us to take Xiangyang. Now with Xingba's help, it will be easy to take Jiangxia. Jiangxia still has 8,000 Jingzhou navy, which will be of great use in the future. Huang Zu is incompetent. This is a meat pie sent to our mouths by God. How can we refuse it?"

Gan Ning was overjoyed, as he was now on the side of Liu Bei. Remembering that Huang Zu looked down on him, he also wanted to go back and take revenge. Luo Yuan understood, as he just wanted to slap his predecessor in the face.

"Gongqi is right! I am the insider, Jiangxia is within our grasp!" Zhang Fei thought about it, it seemed to be true, anyway, let Luo Yuan think about it, I just need to listen to Luo Gongqi: "Gongqi, what's the plan?"

Seeing that Zhang Fei agreed, Luo Yuan said, "Three generals, I will pretend to be Xingba's men and follow him into Jiangxia to see Huang Zu. Then, under the order of the eldest son of Liu Qi, we will take over Jiangxia. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."

Zhang Fei had no other ideas and agreed immediately. Luo Yuan and Zhang Fei followed Gan Ning onto the boat and headed towards Jiangxia.

In Liu Bei’s base in Xinye.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Guan Yu immediately asked them to continue looking for Zhang Fei.

The next day after Zhang Fei and Luo Yuan disappeared, Liu Bei and others discovered it.

The third brother is missing, and Luo Yuan is also missing.

He immediately ordered people to search Xinye, and later found out that Zhang Fei and Luo Yuan had left Xinye through the west gate. Guan Yu was very angry.

News came from the north that Cao Cao had led his troops south and appointed Xiahou Dun as the commander, and would arrive at Bowangpo soon. At this time, my third brother was missing?
"It must be Luo Yuan who instigated my third brother!"

Guan Yu turned around and said to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang: "Now there are few people around, and no one knows what good they have done. Brother, what should we do?"

While speaking, Guan Yu was looking at Zhuge Liang. It seemed that he was talking to Liu Bei, but in fact he was blaming Zhuge Liang, asking, "Look at what your servant has done?"
He even suspected that it was Zhuge Liang who asked Luo Yuan to do this!
After Zhuge Liang came, he didn't seem to have any special abilities.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang helplessly: "Military Advisor, I don't know where my third brother and Luo Yuan have gone. Does Military Advisor know?"

Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect this at all.

How could he know what Luo Yuan and Zhang Fei were doing, but he smiled and remained calm: "My lord, don't ask, Liang has his own arrangements."

"What exactly is the military advisor planning?" Guan Yu sneered, "Now that Cao Cao has raised his army, why not just go there? The battle is imminent, but the general is missing. Do you think this is normal? Luo Yuan said he wanted to escape early in the morning. I think he must be running away because he is afraid of the battle."

Kong Ming laughed and said, "The third general is missing too. Did he run away too?"

Master Guan sneered and said, "Third brother must have known that Luo Yuan had escaped and went to capture him."

Kong Ming said: "Although Luo Yuan said he wanted to run away, Liang knows him and he will never run away. Luo Yuan followed my instructions and went out. Yunchang, don't worry, we will know the result in the future."

Liu Bei quickly gave Guan Yu a look and told him to stop talking and listen to Zhuge Liang.

Although Guan Yu was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to turn around and leave. When he ran into Zhao Yun, he complained to Zhao Yun again, "Luo Gongqi is really annoying. Zilong thought he ran away?"

Zhao Yun said: "That won't happen. The military advisor is still here. Luo Gongqi will not run away!"

After all, Luo Yuan was someone close to Zhuge Liang. He wouldn't be so shameless as to abandon his former master and run away!
Guan Yu said angrily: "My elder brother thinks that Kong Ming is his military advisor. He is with me day and night, and he doesn't care about food and sleep. I don't know what Kong Ming's ability is. I think he is just a good-looking man with a hollow heart. He is good at talking, but he has no plan in mind. I am afraid that he will make trouble for my elder brother!"

Zhao Yun quickly said, "The military advisor is not that kind of person. You are worrying too much!"
