Chapter 533: Zhuge Liang Comes Out of the Mountain
Going north to Xuzhou can be said to be smooth sailing. There were no accidents during the half-month trip, but after arriving in Xuzhou, I unexpectedly met Zhuge Liang. Invite him out of the mountain.
Since they were all delivered to the door on their own initiative, Li Yunfei also gave enough face, and repeatedly invited them at the welcome banquet, and Xu Shu also kept persuading them, Zhuge Liang finally agreed.
Although the real Kong Ming is not as clever as in the movies and TV series, his wisdom is indeed very high. When he left, he left some strategies behind. After Li Yunfei saw it, he found that it coincided with his own plan. As a very far-sighted person, he has foresight because he has accumulated more than two thousand years of knowledge, and he can see the situation clearly in the game, which is already very remarkable...
When new talents join, of course they need to have a banquet to express their welcome. Of course, all the officials and generals are called together to get closer to their subordinates anytime and anywhere. Wei was also invited, and deliberately arranged to sit next to Zhuge Liang. It seems that the two really got along well...
"My lord, Kong Mingzhi can better manage Xuzhou and manage the north for my lord. I am willing to let the virtuous..." Seeing that Zhuge Liang agreed to stay, Xu Shu stood up and said that he would let the virtuous, but Zhuge Liang also stood up quickly...
"It must not be done at this time. How can I take on such a big responsibility when I have just arrived and have not made an inch of merit. If the Lord is trustworthy, I am willing to manage the land of Jingzhou for the Lord." Of course Zhuge Liang is also a principled person. He does not want to pick up ready-made ones. He is more willing to help manage the newly acquired Jingzhou, where the new army is still not firmly established. Only where can he better show his talent.
"It's so good. Yuanzhi will continue to sit in Xuzhou. You see, I even brought your old mother here this time. It's not good for you to move. It's convenient for Mr. Kong Ming to go to Jingzhou. I wish you all the best in Jingzhou!"
"Thank you, my lord, for your trust, I have taken orders!" As he got his wish, he came out of the mountain and received a task of great merit. Of course, Zhuge Liang was very happy. As long as Jingzhou is well managed, it is a great achievement. Where is Xichuan Hanzhong? The place that must pass through will inevitably have greater credit in the future, and I look forward to being able to become a marquis and a prime minister in the future. Zhuge Liang is only a young man in his twenties, and it is absolutely false to say that he has no desire for utilitarianism.
"Congratulations, Mr. Farmer, you are proud of yourself now. Our lord rarely likes people like this. Other talents take the initiative to take refuge in the lord. Only you have asked the lord to beg so many times!" Back After the banquet, Nizi who was sitting next to her also congratulated her. Speaking of which, this girl was originally named Ni Ni, and she has always been Lu Lingqi's trusted subordinate. Now she is in charge of logistics work, and her status has also risen. She is already a school lieutenant.
"The lord really knows people with eyes, and I still have a bit of real talent and learning." The young Zhuge Liang is not modest, in fact, he always compares himself to Guan Zhongleyi when he gathers with friends, but he is very flamboyant.
"You are really immodest, but there is some truth in what you said. If you really don't have much real talent and learning, the lord will look down on you!"
"Of course, I have to congratulate General Ni. I haven't seen you for a few months. A small soldier has already become a captain. The speed of promotion is really fast!"
"Can I be promoted as fast as you? I became such a high-ranking official in just one day!" Nizi asked back.
"Here, a toast to the general!" Zhuge Liang suddenly felt that he was reused as soon as he came, which was indeed too fast for others, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only raise his glass to toast.
"What are you doing, General, I'm panicking, sir, you should call me Nizi!" Nizi also raised her wine glass, very generously doing the first thing as a respect.
"Miss is really a hero, please!" Zhuge Liang also drank in one gulp.
The two were talking in low voices, and they were talking to each other. Of course, it attracted the attention of many people. Of course, Li Yunfei also noticed it, but he was a little puzzled that Zhuge Liang really seemed to be interested in Nizi. What should the legendary ugly girl Huang Yueying do?
"Father, didn't you say that Zhuge Liang is not attractive? Why is he so affectionate to my girl?" Qi'er, who was sitting next to Li Yunfei, pushed Li Yunfei's shoulder and asked.
"Well, maybe Xiao Ni is just a general in his eyes, not a beauty!"
"How could it be, my little girl is also the number one beauty in the Phoenix Legion, and she is just a little behind your little Qiao."
"Uh, your legion is still doing this kind of ranking?" Li Yunfei was also very curious when he suddenly heard that there was such a ranking.
"We didn't arrange it ourselves, but other colleagues in the army!"
"Then where's Qi'er in our family?"
"I'm sorry, I'm ranked first, and I'm inferior to my father's little lover."
"Well, I think you and Xiao Qiao are just equal, but you are the general of the legion, so everyone is giving you face!"
"...Father is really stingy, why tell the truth, it's good to make people happy!"
"Well, our family's Qi'er is the most beautiful woman in the world, and your Aunt Diaochan is even worse than bullets!"
"This is too fake!"
...
"Report..." Just as the banquet was in progress, suddenly a messenger rushed in and sent an urgent message.
"My lord, the three sons of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Gongsun Kang and others have assembled an army of 800,000 to go south, and have already stationed in a place more than 30 miles away from Puyang!" The messenger handed in the letter and reported the general situation. The letter was sent by Hu Yi.
The attacking army was as many as 800,000. It was a little accident that Gongsun Kang from Liaodong was also involved. His army strength was more than 20 times that of Huyi. The Liannu bed crossbow is very good at defending the city, but it also consumes a lot of energy. The arrows will be exhausted in at most three days. At that time, Puyang will definitely not be able to defend...
"My lord, there is a flying pigeon in the south!" Lao Jiu also hurriedly sent a piece of information.
I didn't have any accidents, and I dared to take advantage of the momentum. I can be sure that they have connections with the Northern Alliance, otherwise the timing would not be so accurate. It's just that Soochow's rebellion was quickly extinguished by Liao Li, who had been prepared for a long time. Although it seemed that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu didn't participate in it, he was temporarily placed under house arrest to prevent accidents.
It's just that the rebellion in Jingzhou could not be controlled. That's because it was connected to Xichuan and other places in Hanzhong. The rebels had the support of Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, so they successfully occupied several cities near Xichuan and Hanzhong. The people who took the lead in the uprising What surprised Li Yunfei was not Liu Biao, nor Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao.
It was Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, which was a little unexpected. With the support of Liu Zhang, Liu Qi had assembled hundreds of thousands of troops, and he marched all the way eastward to Yong'an County, only to be stopped by the tens of thousands of Gaoshun troops stationed there. After all, the situation is generally not dangerous. As long as it takes a long time, those who attack will be defeated, because Xuzhou's new army will have a steady stream of orderly teams arriving.
The reason why Liu Qi went so smoothly before was that on the one hand, there were two major warlords supporting him, and on the other hand, it was because Li Yunfei had just taken over the land of Jingzhou, so a lot of defense work hadn't been put in place yet. Yong'an had set up a defense system, so Liu Qi, who came prepared, was caught off guard. However, although several cities that nominally belonged to Jingzhou were lost, there were actually not many casualties.
Of course, Li Yunfei personally explained to those small teams who went to accept the city that when there is a huge difference in strength, there is no need to fight the enemy to death, and there is no need to care about the loss of a city or a place, as long as the enemy's main force can be effectively eliminated. Zhang Lu's and Liu Zhang's coalition forces feel like they are overwhelming.
It's just that although they occupied six cities in one go, the casualties of the Xuzhou new army were almost negligible. They all set up positions outside the city, and immediately moved after firing a round of crossbows. They were not prepared to defend the city at all. , so it caused a lot of casualties to the enemy, but the losses on the side were negligible...
