The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 717 Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition
Hebei, Yecheng, beside the Zhang River.

After Yuan Shangping settled Tuoba Liwei, he immediately arranged for defense and sorted out follow-up matters. After that, he immediately led his troops back to Hebei.

At the same time, Cao Zhi also handed over the military power that Yuan Shang designed and secretly handed over to him, so that the generals of the Cao family returned with him and returned to an idle life.

At this time, the two stood side by side by the Zhang River, looking at the rushing river, they couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

"Rolling the Yangtze River to the east, the hero of surfing gold, Tuoba Liwei was also taken away by God."

Cao Zhi glared at Yuan Shang sideways, and sarcastically said: "First of all, this is not the Yangtze River, but the Zhang River. Secondly, Tuoba Liwei was not taken away by God, but by you."

Yuan Shang didn't refute when he heard the words, he just laughed and said: "You are not greedy for power, you handed over the military power as soon as you came back, I thought you would use this opportunity to help me put down Tuoba to make some demands. "

Cao Zhi sighed for a long time, shook his head and said: "Pull it down, after seeing Tuoba Liwei's fate, if I still dare to be fooled, wouldn't I be a fool? You should stop and let me live for a few years."

Yuan Shang said helplessly: "You are different from Tuoba Liwei. He is my ally, and you are my friend. How can you treat friends on par with allies?"

Cao Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Did you also use this to fool Tuoba Liwei back then?"

Yuan Shang touched his nose, smiled slightly, and remained silent.

After being silent for a while, I heard Cao Zhi suddenly say: "I heard that on the Xichuan side, Liu Bei raised all his troops to march eastward, and Sun Quan also summoned all his troops to fight against him. This is a good opportunity for you. .”

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "How do you say that?"
Cao Zhi replied after hearing the words: "Shu Sheng will take the opportunity to destroy Wu, and Wu Sheng will take the opportunity to destroy Shu. At that time, the world will come to fruition. Who can stop you?"
Yuan Shang nodded, and suddenly said: "In your opinion, who can win the battle between Wu and Shu?"
Cao Zhi thought for a while, and said: "Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are eager to take revenge, and they also set up an army that can overthrow the country. The momentum is like a rainbow. Crouching Dragon Zhuge Liang is also a genius in the world. I think Liu Bei has a better chance of winning."

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Actually, I think so too."

Cao Zhi was silent for a while, and said, "What are you going to do next? How will you act?"

Yuan Shang raised his head and laughed: "I plan to return to the Central Plains after a few days, sit in Xuchang, and then secretly gather troops..."

Having said that, Yuan Shang raised his head, looked at the white clouds and gray dogs slowly drifting in the sky, and thought to himself: This time, I will also gather all the soldiers and horses to make a thunderous blow, and let Sun Liu see my Hebei Yuan. After years of operation, how powerful is it~!

********************************
Yuan Shang took care of Tuoba Liwei in Hebei, while Liu Bei launched an all-powerful army to attack Soochow.

On the Eastern Wu side, Sun Quan was in Nanxu, and he ordered Zhou Yu to be the governor of Jingzhou, with Lu Su and Lu Meng as assistants to fight against Liu Bei.

Hearing that the vanguard Zhang Fei had left Sichuan, Zhou Yu sat guarding Jiangling, and immediately called the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Zhou Yu sat in the lobby, looked around for a week, and said, "In order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei set up an army to destroy the country. With Zhang Fei as the vanguard, he led a [-] vanguard army and attacked me in Jingzhou. What do you think?"

Beside Zhou Yu, Lu Meng thought for a while, and said: "Liu Bei's army is full of morale, showing its sharpness, and Zhang Fei himself is unstoppable. The most urgent thing is to stick to it. The west gate of Jingzhou should be in Zigui. If you can stop Zhang Fei in Zigui Fly, after a long time, it will become a thing."

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng appreciatively, and said in admiration, "Zi Ming's words are exactly what I mean by the Governor. All of you, who of you would like to lead troops to Zigui to stop Zhang Fei?"

When Zhou Yu finished speaking, a young general, Sun Huan, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Great Governor, the general is willing to go."

Zhou Yu laughed, and said with a smile: "The little general is brave, and he is worthy of being the relative of Marquis Wu, but Zhang Fei is a fierce general in the world, and few people can resist him. I am afraid that the little general will not be Zhang Fei's opponent."

Sun Huan raised his brows when he heard this, and said, "Don't be afraid to boost Zhang Fei's morale. Although he is brave, he is no more than a brave man. Why should he be afraid? The general has studied military books since he was a child. Victory over Zhang Fei, but it is not difficult to defend Zigui! The last general is willing to lead [-] troops to defend Zigui, so as to share the worries of the governor!"

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard the words and said: "The young general is so brave, the governor is very comforted, no matter, I will send you five thousand elite soldiers, you go to defend Zigui, as long as you can hold off Zhang Fei for a month, I will gather the Jingzhou headquarters support."

Sun Huan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately took orders to leave.

Lu Su worriedly watched Sun Huan's back walking out of the main hall, thought for a while, and said, "Governor, although Sun Huan is a young hero, Zhang Fei is not simple. He is a man who is meticulous in roughness and has no shortage of strategies, not to mention that when Lv Bu was alive, he was afraid of flying bravely, it can be said that he has both courage and strategy, Sun Huan is young and energetic, I am afraid he cannot stop him."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly when he heard the words, but did not speak, but his eyes were deep and thoughtful.

***********************
When Zhang Fei left Xichuankou, Liu Bei's army was still in the middle of Sichuan. When the spies told him that Zhou Yu had sent Sun Huan as the vanguard to guard Zigui with [-] troops, he couldn't help laughing angrily.

"My third younger brother is a hero in the world. He is invincible and unstoppable. What's more, I have a hundred thousand people in Langzhong under my command. What kind of person is Sun Huan? How dare he defend the city with only five thousand soldiers and horses? Send my third younger brother to tell him Within ten days, quickly capture Zigui!"

When Liu Bei said these words, Zhuge Liang sat beside him all the time, gently shaking the feather fan, and said nothing. After the order left, Zhuge Liang said a few more words to Liu Bei, and then walked out of the handsome tent with an excuse. He also talked to his student Ma Di.

After leaving the tent, Ma Di said to Zhuge Liang, "Military Master, my lord ordered General Zhang to attack Zigui within ten days. Do you think he can attack Zigui?"

Zhuge Liang swayed his feather fan, and said: "Of course he can win, what is Sun Huan, how can he be compared with Zhang Yide...but..."

Ma Su's expression tightened, and he said, "But what?"
"However, Sun Huan is just an introduction, and Zhou Yu must have a follow-up move."

Ma Su became anxious when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Then why didn't you remind the lord?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "My lord came here angry and unsteady. Letting Zhang Fei lose for a while will at least calm him and the lord himself. If you can't calm down, how can you defeat Zhou Yu?"
