Back to the Three Kingdoms

Father Qiao said: "The old man has moved his home to Luoyang, and they naturally followed him."

Chen Lang smiled and nodded.

Father Qiao glanced at Chen Lang, smiled and bowed: "The old family is planning to host a family banquet tomorrow. I don't know if King Qin can appreciate his face, so that the old family can express our gratitude to King Qin."

Chen Lang smiled and clasped his fists and said: "I know the old man's good intentions, but the military affairs are busy recently, and I will leave tomorrow. I can only feel sorry for the old man's good intentions!"

Elder Qiao had already heard about the Qin Army's dispatch of troops and generals, so he was not surprised to hear Chen Lang's words at this moment, so he took the opportunity to say: "The King Qin is really hard!" Chen Lang laughed.

Elder Qiao said: "The King Qin's military affairs are busy, and the old man dare not bother. Three months later is the day when the old man descends. If Qin has time, I hope that King Qin can leave the house alone!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. If I have time, I will definitely come to harass." Old man Qiao said with joy, "The old family is waiting for King Qin to drive!" Chen Lang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "You don't have to be polite. "

At this time, a fang rushed in and presented a document with both hands, reporting: "Master, there is an emergency military situation coming from Huainan!" Chen Lang accepted the document. Old man Qiao bowed and said: "Qin Wang is busy with military affairs, so the old man will not bother you. The old man bids farewell." Chen Lang ordered Dian Wei to send him off on his own behalf. Dian Wei led Mr. Joe out.

Chen Lang opened his paper bag, took out the bamboo slips, read it again, frowned, and muttered to himself: "The offensive of the Jiangdong Army is much more violent than I expected! I hope Xingba can open up the situation as soon as possible. !"

Sight turned to Jingzhou.

Gan Ning led the Qin army under his command to storm Changbanpo. In less than two days, the Jiangdong army's defense line was shaky. Huang Gai was worried about the loss of Changbanpo's line of defense, and rushed to reinforce Changbanpo. The two sides fought a battle. The Qin army temporarily retreated, and Huang Gai saved Changbanpo. But Huang Gai didn't dare to be careless, because he knew that the real fierce battle was still behind.

The Qin army under Gan Ning's attack was frustrated, and the attack was suspended, ready to rest for a while, and then attack again. The Qin Army Camp in front of Changbanpo is noisy day and night. Obviously, they are rushing to manufacture all kinds of equipment for siege. Huang Gai would visit the front every other hour, and his brows were tightly locked in the face of the forthcoming fierce battle.

An officer ran behind Huang Gai, clasped his fists and said, "General!"

Huang Gai turned around and said, "You were an officer of Jingzhou, can you meet Liu Bei?"

The officer nodded, "Yes. My subordinates have met Liu Bei several times."

Huang Gai said: "Immediately rush to Baidi City, please Liu Bei dispatch troops quickly and attack the Qin Army's flanks!"

The officer couldn't help frowning and said, "It's easy to spread the word. But will Liu Bei do this?"

Huang Gai said, "Liu Bei is a wise man. He knows the truth about the coldness of the lips and the teeth. You tell him that we have fought with the Qin army, and the Qin army has suffered heavy losses. As long as they join the battlefield, victory is at your fingertips." The officer nodded and clasped his fists. I understand. The subordinate rushed to Baidi City." Then he turned and left.

As if riding fast, he left Changbanpo to the west and headed straight for Baidi City.

In Baidi City, Liu Bei led a 300,000 Shu army to gather here and wait for the opportunity. Some friends may wonder why Liu Bei led an army of 300,000 troops to gather in Baidi City, why he hasn't launched an offensive for so long. In fact, the reason is very simple. Liu Bei is waiting for the best time. Liu Bei knew that although he had many soldiers and horses, more than half of them were newly recruited recruits. These soldiers could not be compared with Qin Junxiaorui. Therefore, although there were many soldiers and horses, their combat power was far inferior to their opponents. In addition, Liu Bei had a great appetite. He wanted to completely occupy the entire Jingzhou at one time. If the Qin Army and Jiangdong Army were almost consumed, this would not be possible.

Liu Bei saw the messenger sent by Huang Gai, and after sending him down, he discussed with Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others: "What do the two gentlemen think about this time?"

Pang Tong said, "Huang Gai's messenger is right. Now is the time to send troops to destroy the Qin army."

Liu Bei frowned and said, "What Huang Gai said is only a lie. Although his Jiangdong Army is not weak, he is afraid that there is still a gap compared with the Qin Army. Moreover, the Qin Army has more than 200,000 troops, and Huang Gai’s subordinates are only 100,000. It is unbelievable to say that the Jiangdong Army has already dealt a heavy damage to the Qin Army! Huang Gai's statement like this is nothing more than to deceive us into sending troops to relieve his own pressure!"

Pang Tong took a deep look at Liu Bei, smiled slightly, and said, "What the lord thinks is that he hopes that Gan Ning and Huang Gai will fight a losing streak and be frustrated, so that they can occupy the entire Jingzhou in one fell swoop!" Then he said seriously: "Lord! This one! The idea cannot be said wrong, but it is out of date to use it immediately! As the lord said, the Qin army is very powerful, and it is not too much to say that it is the best in the world! I am afraid that the current decline of the Qin army is an illusion, and it may be a blink of an eye Huang Gai's entire army was wiped out and defeated like a mountain! At that time, if he wanted to attack again, he would lose his opportunity!"

auzw.com Zhang Song couldn’t help but said, "Mr. Feng Chu’s words are too long for others to extinguish his prestige! Even though Qin Jun is strong, he is not a god, besides, Gan Ning is just a man. , What is there to be resourceful? But Huang Gai is Jiangdong general, wise and brave, and now has three solid lines of defense as his backing, I dare to say that Qin Jun will not want to make any breakthroughs within three months!" Many people nodded in agreement. , I think Pang Tong is alarmist.

Pang Tong smiled and said nothing. Xu Shu couldn't help but said: "I think Shi Yuan was right! In the fierce battle a few days ago, I think the Qin army did not show real combat effectiveness. Judging from the previous record of the Qin army, the result of the battle should not be that way. In addition, although Gan Ning lacks resourcefulness, the Wuchang Ma family next to him is a resourceful person. How can it be said that the other party is brave and unscrupulous!"

Zhang Song laughed mockingly and said: "The Qin Army's combat effectiveness is not as good as expected, which only means that they are exaggerating! As for the Ma Family Wuchang, they are just nameless people. If they were really talented, how could they have done nothing when Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou. What?"

Xu Shu said in an unpleasant manner: "Liu Biao can't know people and make good use of them, so he can only make friends with relatives and friends. The Ma family has talents but nowhere to use them. How can it be said that they have no real talents?"

Zhang Song still has to argue.

Liu Bei then raised his hand to interrupt them and said, "Okay, gentlemen no longer have to argue. What you said is reasonable."

The eyes of everyone converged on Liu Bei's face.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and said: "What the gentlemen said is very reasonable." After a pause, "However, I think it is better to watch the current situation temporarily!" Xu Shu was shocked, and Zhang Song and others were delighted to worship. Said: "The lord is wise!"

Xu Shu said anxiously: "Master, don't underestimate the power of Qin Jun! Now we should fight Qin Jun with Jiangdong's same enemy, and we must not count Jiangdong now!"

Liu Bei couldn't help turning into anger from shame, and said angrily: "I have decided, you don't want to say more!"

Xu Shu felt anxious and wanted to persuade him again, but Liu Bei had already got up and left. Everyone got up and sent them respectfully, and then they filed out. Xu Shu was depressed by himself, and had to leave.

"Shi Yuan! Shi Yuan!" Xu Shu exclaimed angrily.

Pang Tong stopped and saw Xu Shu rushing in angrily, and asked with a smile: "Why is Yuan Zhi so excited?"

Xu Shu rushed to Pang Tong and said grumpily, "You know you are asking! I ask you, you know that the lord made a wrong decision, why don't you advise?"

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi's words are wrong, how can the lord's decision be wrong?"

Xu Shu er, hurriedly said: "You just clearly..."

Pang Tong raised his hand to interrupt Xu Shu's words, and said: "No matter what my thoughts are, since the lord has already decided, what else do you and I say? You should know how to advance and retreat as a minister."

Looking at Pang Tong, Xu Shu couldn't help but feel some strange feelings in his heart.

In other words, Huang Gai was waiting for Liu Bei's reinforcements while waiting. Soon after, the sent envoy hurried back. Huang Gai hurriedly asked: "Has Liu Bei decided to send troops?" The messenger clasped his fists and said, "Liu Bei said that the grain and grass are not yet in place. It will take time for the attack. Please be calm. They just wait for the grain and grass to arrive and the whole army will attack immediately. !"

Huang Gai was furious, and cursed: "Damn big-eared thief, full of benevolence and morality, in fact he has a horrible heart! Where is he waiting for food and grass, he was ordered to wait for our army and the Qin army to fight for both losses, they can take advantage of the fishermen !" The generals looked at each other, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Huang Gai shouted from an officer beside him: "You immediately report Liu Bei's situation to the lord and the chief governor!" The officer clasped his fists and ran down. Immediately, Huang Gao convened the generals to carefully arrange the defensive matters. He determined that he would not rely on Liu Bei. At the same time, he secretly sent a cavalry of more than 100 men to sneak into the vicinity of Baidi City to monitor Liu Bei's every move.

Huang Gai expected that the Qin Army would launch another offensive soon, but what Huang Gai did not expect was that three days had passed, but the expected onslaught never appeared. Huang Gai couldn't help becoming anxious, only feeling restless, and a very bad feeling faintly in his heart.

The front line is still very calm, the sun is scorching the earth, and the hot temperature makes people drowsy. The Jiangdong army generals who had been very nervous had relaxed, and subconsciously felt that the war seemed to be over. Many people subconsciously believed that the Qin army might have given up the offensive. They all hope that this state will continue. After all, no one wants to fight a terrible opponent like Qin Jun!

Nanjun City, after experiencing the previous tension, is now calm. People think that the Qin Army cannot be beaten, and the streets and alleys of the restaurants and teahouses have returned to the past lively. People chatted about the current situation and looked at the situation as if they were talking about a good scene.

Outside the southern city gate, a group of soldiers and horses escorted a large amount of grain and grass to the city gate. The leading general shouted: "We are the subordinates of General Lu Meng. We are ordered to **** the grain and grass. Open the city gate quickly." !--shg-->
