"That's right, that's exactly the reason. However, if the Jiangxia navy can be incorporated smoothly, the master's great career can be expected. Next, we have to see what's going on in Changsha."

While Huang Zhong and Pang Tong were discussing what to do next, a team of about tens of thousands of people was leaving from the south gate in Changsha City.

The leading general is Sima Yi, who has 5000 troops under his command, plus more than [-] civilians to deliver food and grass. The destination of this army is Wuling. There is no way, a rebellion broke out in Wuling, and Liu Bei must send people to suppress it.

To be honest, Liu Bei really didn't want to transfer Sima Yi away from his side, but he doesn't have any generals in his hands now.Guan Yu's whereabouts are unknown, and Zhang Fei is still trapped in Yuzhou. It is not known whether he is dead or alive.

As for Chen Dao, because he took the blame for Liu Bei and suffered [-] punishments, he is still recuperating from his injuries, and his powers have been stretched to the end, so it is impossible to go to the army at present.

At this juncture, a rebellion broke out in Wuling, and Sima Yi asked Ying to fight. The aristocratic families and most of the generals in the city who were dependent on Liu Bei also interceded for Sima Yi, and most of them also gave Sima Yi a guarantee. Contributed a large number of treasures, Liu Bei has no reason not to send him out.

After all, Wuling is located in a remote place with barren land and a small population. It is impossible for Sima Yi to occupy this place. Besides, Sima Yi has already served Liu Bei as his master. If he dares to rebel, he will be ashamed by the world.

"It's done. Liu Bei has already underestimated the enemy, and he will be defeated in the future."

In the camp, Gao Shun, Lu Xun, and Cai Mao sat cross-legged together. The three were discussing how to attack Changsha. When he learned that Sima Yi led the troops to leave Changsha, Gao Shun couldn't help showing a sneer.

Cai Mao had some doubts in his heart, but seeing that the two young men seemed to understand the key, he felt very uncomfortable.The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and his front wave seems too bad.

"Liu Bei is hypocritical and Sima Yi is cunning. In order to prevent the enemy from cheating, I suggest observing for a few more days and confirming the situation."

Lu Xun was very satisfied to be selected by Gao Zhong to the front line to serve as an aide. This is the front line, where he can prove his talents. Moreover, in the land of Jingxiang, he can use his talents to the fullest. show up.

"Bo Yan is right. The frontline spies have already infiltrated into Sima Yi's army. It will not be long before the news comes back. Anyway, without Sima Yi's troops in Changsha, its defense will be even weaker."

Gao Zhong is cautious by nature, and he couldn't help but feel complacent when he got the information just now. He was reminded by Lu Xun, and he quickly reacted.As for Cai Hao next to him, at this moment he felt that he seemed a little redundant. The two young people in front of him, one was calm, the other was wise, and their personalities could complement each other, so he didn't need to speak at all.

"You two, it is unwise to attack Changsha by force. Our navy currently has less than 2 people, only [-] elite, and not enough warships. It may not be so easy to take Changsha."

There is no way, even if there is no need to speak, Cai Hao still has a sense of presence. After all, Changsha is a strong city. When Liu Pan guarded Changsha, he paid special attention to city defense. In order to deal with the Jiangdong Navy, Liu Pan spent a lot of effort to build Changsha. line of defense.

"What General Cai said is very true. Changsha is indeed strong, and it is indeed inappropriate to attack by force. However, the foster father once said that the strongest castle is the easiest to attack from the inside. Next, it is time for those dark ones to play a role."

Gao Shun's face was filled with a look that didn't match his age, and Cai Mao who was next to him sighed secretly when he saw it. In his opinion, there are indeed too many capable people under his lord.

Chapter 757

For half a month, Changsha City was very lively. Except for the first half month when Sima Yi led more than [-] people to leave Changsha, the soldiers and civilians in Changsha City were all busy with one thing.

At the beginning, the emperor died unexpectedly, and now the throne is vacant. Although Chen Feng occupies the north, he has no intention of supporting a new emperor. In Liu Bei's hands, there are ministers of civil and military affairs brought by Sima Yi, and Liu Xie's son. This is almost the current situation. the imperial court.

In other words, Liu Bei has enough capital to support the new emperor, even if he was defeated and retreated to Changsha, he did not give up this idea.The reason why Zhuge Liang has the confidence to go to Jiangdong is precisely because he has this pawn in his hand.

In the secret agreement between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, as long as Sun Quan allyed with him and married his younger sister to him, the two families would join forces to occupy Jingzhou together, and then send troops to Yangzhou or go north.

As long as Chen Feng can be defeated and the south can be occupied, the two families can coerce the emperor to make the princes. Liu Bei believes that Sun Quan will not reject such a proposal. Coupled with Zhuge Liang's eloquence, the opposition in Jiangdong will not be too arrogant.

In order to support Zhuge Liang's work in Jiangdong, Liu Bei is now preparing to support the new emperor.To be honest, Liu Xie died unexpectedly, and no one has been found out until now. Liu Bei is the biggest suspect, but he didn't even explain it, but he wanted to be the regent at this juncture.

There is no way, the concept of the Liu family's royal family is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There are still so many people in the world who agree with the Liu family. Whoever can control the emperor can control the righteousness. Liu Bei is naturally moved, not to mention that he is also surnamed Liu.

Ever since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing and supported Liu Xie, the authority of the Liu family had been greatly weakened. Later, Cao Cao supported the establishment of the emperor. In the Central Plains, only Cao Gong's orders were known, and few people were willing to obey the imperial edict.

But this does not mean that the influence of the Liu family's royal family has completely disappeared. After many discussions with Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei decided to take a slanted sword, support the emperor in the name of his uncle, and call on other forces loyal to the Liu family to move closer to him. , Only in this way can he expand his strength in the shortest possible time.

I have to say that Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's move is very good. Even though they don't have many resources and their strength is extremely limited, as long as they have righteousness in hand, he will surpass Sun Quan in terms of momentum.

"Separate Jiangdong, divide the river and rule, title Wu Wang, how about it?"

In Sun Quan's living room, Zhuge Liang was arguing with Sun Quan's staff with his three-inch tongue. In the end, when Zhuge Liang said this sentence, Sun Quan's face changed obviously.

"King Wu? Are you serious?"

"Really, but your Excellency has to support my lord to ascend to the throne of King Chu. You and I will join hands to expel Chen Feng. At that time, your Excellency will go north to Yangzhou, and my lord will occupy Jingzhou. The world will be divided into three, and Chen Feng will be able to defeat us." what?"

Over the past few days, Zhuge Liang has been continuously visiting the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, and at the same time sending people to collect local information. He has already figured out Sun Quan's thoughts, so he has thrown such a big bait until now.

In fact, not only Sun Quan moved his mind, but also other people present. As long as Sun Quan's position can be promoted, their official positions can also be greatly improved.

Looking at the faces of the crowd, Zhuge Liang heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhou Yu was not here today, otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not have been able to convince them so easily.

Of course, Zhuge Liang also guessed that Sun Quan should have moved his mind a long time ago. The two sides failed to discuss further because of Zhou Yu's presence a few days ago, so he deliberately transferred Zhou Yu to the front line to inspect the border defense.

"Okay, I'm willing to join forces with Duke Xuande, but I have to see your sincerity first. My Jiangdong [-] navy is stationed by the Yangtze River, and Chen Feng dare not go south.

Now, it depends on how capable you are, claiming the king by ceding the land, fighting against Chen Feng, hmph, if you want to defeat the Northern Border Army, you have to spend enough capital. "

Sun Quan was not only moved, but also wanted to take this opportunity to go north to make contributions in order to stabilize his position and eliminate the influence left by Sun Ce back then. He had waited too long for this day.

At night, in a secret room, Mufou, who was supposed to serve in Xiangyang, was sipping tea and reading a book. He has been hiding in Jiangdong these days. He knows everything about Zhuge Liang's lobbying of the Jiangdong family, and he also has a general idea of ​​Sun Quan's reaction now.

"Squeak,,,,,,"

The secret rooms were suddenly pushed away, and a handsome literati walked in.

"He agreed. Liu Bei's bargaining chip was too high. He had no reason to refuse."

"Hmph, ceding land and becoming king, what a big tone. Forget it, the matter of Jiangdong is a foregone conclusion, and the task I came here is almost completed, brother, I should leave."

"Hmph, this place is dangerous, so it's really not suitable to stay for a long time. By the way, second brother, you travel all year round, how can you not have a good guard around you, I will introduce you to an old friend, papa,,,,,,"

There were several clapping sounds, and the door was pushed open again. This time, an eight-foot-tall man walked in, exuding a fierce aura around him, and he knew it was not easy to mess with.

"Meet the two sons,,,,,,"

"You, you are Akang, General Ji's son Ji Kang?"

"Second Young Master's memory is really good. After so many years, you can still recognize me."

"Brother, what's going on here? Didn't General Ji die in battle back then, and his family members were lost?"

"It's lost. I also thought that General Ji's family was gone. Until one time, when I passed by a village, I met Akang. He was caught by the villagers and was about to hang himself. I rescued him and found Ji again. The general’s family secretly brought them back to Jiangdong.”

"Akang, you, hey, you have suffered a lot these years."

"Hehe, fortunately, I had no food to eat back then, and did a lot of sneaky things. When I really think about it, I have corrupted my father's name, and I feel really guilty.

It was my fate that I was not hanged that time, hehe, God let me meet the young master again, and my subordinates have nothing to repay, and now I am willing to die for the young master. "

When old friends meet, it is inevitable to feel a lot of emotion. Mu Fuzheng is worried that there is no helper. Now that Ji Kang is added, the next plan will go much smoother.

In Changsha City, the grand enthronement ceremony is about to be held, and Liu Bei is also dressed up to attend. Today is the day when he supports the new emperor, and it is also the day when he ascends to the pinnacle of power. After waiting for so many years, Liu Bei finally made it.

In some corners of the city, some strong and strong men gathered together. Today, the whole city is under martial law, and the city defense force has been strengthened a lot, but some forces in the city have begun to act.

Fifty miles away from the north gate of Changsha City, Gao Zhong led three thousand elites to lurk here. On the day when Liu Bei reached the pinnacle of power, how could he not come to give some congratulatory gifts?
