Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 458

At the end of June in the 13th year of Jian'an, Zhuge Jin arrived in Xinye. He first went to see his younger brother Zhuge Liang. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for several years. Although the meeting was cordial, it was a little strange.

"I sent you letters many times asking you to go to Jiangdong, but you insisted not to go. I thought you really wanted to go back to hiding, but this is not your character. I just don't know why you turned to Liu Bei?" Puzzled, Zhuge Liang regarded himself as Guan Zhongleyi, and he clearly wanted to make contributions, so why did he vote for Liu Bei instead of Mingzhu.

"My elder brother is in Jiangdong, my third brother is in Xuzhou, isn't it just right for me to be in Jingzhou?" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Don't look at Liu Bei's embarrassment now. If he gains power, he will definitely not be under Cao Mengde. Brother, are you here just to persuade me to go to Jiangdong?"

Everyone has his own ambitions, so what can he do if he is optimistic about Liu Bei?As an older brother, you should persuade him or say a few words: "I heard that when Xu Yuanzhi was here, Liu Xuande obeyed him. I don't know where Yuan Zhi went? How did Liu Xuande treat you?"

"When Yuan Zhi left, he only said that he was looking for his mother, but he didn't say where he was going. I suspected that he was captured by Cao Cao." Zhuge Liang sighed slightly, "I went to Xuande Gong and treated me like a confidant, like a fish in water."

"You have made your own opinions since you were a child, and you are unwilling to be subordinated to others. You must know that Liu Xuande's subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all rebellious people, and they live as brothers. They are beyond your control." Zhuge Jin advised his younger brother very tactfully, even if you think Liu Bei You are a person, and you are not under one person or above ten thousand people. You will not be trusted like Guan Zhong. Don't forget that Liu Bei has two brothers, but they don't buy anyone except Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang chuckled: "Don't worry, brother, I have a sense of proportion."

Taking Zhuge Liang indifferently, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but feel a little worried. He didn't know what to say to this arrogant and talented younger brother, so he had to change the subject, "I have learned that Cao Cao will go south soon, and Liu Bei will use Xinye as a tiny place. How can I keep it?"

"Liu Biao is seriously ill. I advised my lord to take Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Liu Xuande refused to obey because of his benevolence. I would like to persuade him again."

"Kong Ming don't fool me. With Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and the Kuai brothers, how can Liu Bei take Jingzhou? Even if he drives him away, how can Jingzhou be torn apart to compete with Cao Cao? Kong Ming's talent is several times that of mine, but he lacks troops. The major general has no foreign aid, how can you defeat the enemy?"

"My lord and the prefect of Cangwu, Wu Chen, have always had a close relationship. I can go south to Jiangling and cross the river to Jingnan, and then pursue a great cause."

Zhuge Jin stared at Zhuge Liang: "Afraid like a bereaved dog?"

"If elder brother wants to persuade me to join Jiangdong, please dispel this idea. Brother will not abandon Liu Xuande."

Zhuge Jin originally planned to let Zhuge Liang open his mouth, but Zhuge Liang didn't respond, so he had to puncture the window paper. "Jingnan can't be held. My brother can persuade Xuande to turn east and go to Xiakou, and join forces with my lord Sun Quan to defeat Cao Cao."

Zhuge Liang waited for this sentence, Sun Quan's attitude towards Liu Bei is very important. "That being the case, I will go to see my lord with my brother."

Seeing Liu Bei, Zhuge Jin once again elaborated on his suggestion to invite Liu Bei to Xiakou, and Liu Bei readily agreed.Zhuge Jin did not delay in Xinye, and immediately moved to Jiangdong with Zhuge's family, Huang's and Pang's clansmen, and Pang Tong also came to Jiangdong with his uncle Pang Degong.

Sending off Zhuge Jin, Liu Bei and Zhuge appeared to look at each other with a smile: "It's not as Kong Ming expected."

"My lord, should we also prepare to go south?"

"Kong Ming thinks how to arrange it?"

"Young Master Liu Qi still has [-] troops in Jiangxia, so you can send someone to Jiangxia first."

2 people, not a lot, from now on will be Liu Bei's team to make a fortune, and must not fall into the hands of others, but who should be sent?Liu Bei hesitated for a while, and immediately thought of Guan Yu. Guan Yu and Cao Cao could not be allowed to meet face to face, but Guan Yu's temper is very hot, so what if he messed up the matter? "Jiangxia is an important matter, and Kong Ming and Yun Chang need to go together."

Liu Bei was most worried that Guan Yu would be lured away by Cao Cao again, and also worried that Guan Yu would go to Jiangxia and Liu Qi would not be able to agree on an agreement, so he would draw his sword and face each other. He needed Liu Qi's banner now, and even more Liu Qi's [-] soldiers.Zhuge Liang knew what he was thinking, he cupped his hands and said, "I will go to Jiangxia with Yun Chang tomorrow, my lord, take care!"

However, Zhuge Liang didn't understand Liu Bei's other meaning. Liu Bei knew that both Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu wanted to be the top of his subordinates.Xu Yuanzhi is better, I am willing to hide behind the scenes, but where has he gone? Why has he been gone for more than a month without any movement?The two talked together for a while, and sent several groups of scouts to check Cao Jun's movements and the situation in Xiangyang.

The next day, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu led 2000 people to Jiangxia, leaving only 5000 in Xinye.Liu Bei ordered to inform the people in Xinye, Fancheng and other places that Cao Cao marched into Jingzhou, gave the people three days to prepare, and all moved south.He also ordered Liu Feng and Guan Ping to spread the news everywhere that Cao Zei was so ruthless that he wanted to slaughter the city. He had done this in Xuzhou and flooded the lower Pi, causing countless casualties among the people.All of a sudden, people in Xinye panicked, and the people began to pack their bags, and there were 20 people.

Liu Bei also ordered Zhang Fei, Liu Feng, Guan Ping and himself to lead 3000 people as the first team, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and their family members as the second team, and 20 people as the third team to go south three days later.Jian Yong persuaded: "My lord withdraws the army and walks lightly. Why do you have to bring so many people as a burden?"

"Thieves Cao are fierce and stubborn, and the common people suffer from it, so they cannot be put in trouble."

Mi Zhu said: "The public constitution must know that the people are the foundation for me to settle down. How can I leave it to Cao Cao?"

Jian Yong suddenly came to his senses, stopped persuading, and dragged Mi Zhu to do his own thing.Liu Feng still didn't understand, and asked Liu Bei in private: "Mr. Jian Yong's words are very true, father should leave immediately."

Seeing no one around, Liu Bei whispered, "Cao Cao's tiger and leopard rider is unparalleled in the world, do you think we can outrun the tiger and leopard rider as quickly as possible?"

Liu Feng was even more confused: "Since we are not as fast as the Cao thief chasing soldiers, how can the common people be spared?"

"I hope they will be auspicious. If they cannot escape this catastrophe, they can awaken the people of Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao together!"

At this time, Liu Feng finally understood that this was to let 20 people serve as human shields to cover Liu Bei and others to leave, and to show the tyranny of Cao Jun, to arouse hatred for Cao Cao, and to make it difficult for Cao Cao to survive in Jingzhou. Liu Bei raised his arms again. , the people of Jingzhou are still flocking to it.Just do it right?Liu Feng was a little confused.

Liu Bei was making intensive preparations, and before the third day, two cavalry expeditions reported back. Cao Cao's army had already marched south and reached Yedi.Liu Biao of Jingzhou died, and his second son Liu Cong was appointed governor of Jingzhou. Cai Mao had already ordered the four gates of Xiangyang to be closed and no entry or exit was allowed.
