Chapter 758 Farewell to Nancheng
At dawn, when the rooster crowed, Liu Bei, who had been lying in bed all night, finally raised his head. He looked up at the clear sky outside the door, then lowered his head and looked at the thick pile of political commentaries piled up by his hand. Liu Bei sighed.
After a breath, he stopped writing, carefully picked up the political article and prepared to review it.
Liu Bei didn't watch for a while, but Zhang Fei came back in a hurry.
"Brother, the troops and horses are ready. When will we set off?"
Liu Bei raised his head and saw Zhang Fei, who was dressed neatly. Liu Bei smiled and said, "Third brother, I also know soldiers! You don't have to go to beg thieves here. One person is enough!"
Liu Bei knew that there would be no luck or disaster in his journey, so he did not want to drag Zhang Fei down.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was determined to go.
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei intently for a while, opened his mouth to say something, but held back the words, "Brother, why are you going and not letting me go? I'm going too! Don't stop me." Zhang Fei said pretending to be unhappy.
.
Seeing that Zhang Fei did not listen to the advice, Liu Bei smiled bitterly in his heart.
——
It's broad daylight.
The traitor Zuo Feng actually got up very early and did not sleep until three o'clock in the morning. This may be because Zuo Feng often served these eunuchs. He usually got up early and worked late to serve the emperor. If he was lazy, he would die early. Therefore, he was very
He is diligent and not sleepy at all.
Zuo Feng wanted to ask Liu Bei when to leave. Liu Bei went out of the city to see that three thousand troops and horses had been mobilized. Then he was about to ask Zuo Feng when to leave, and they happened to meet each other.
Liu Bei met Zuo Feng and said, "Three thousand troops are ready to go. May I ask the angel when will we set off?"
Seeing Liu Bei doing things so quickly, Zuo Feng complimented him, "Ah! How can General Xuande be so fast?"
Zuo Feng had no knowledge of military skills. Zuo Feng's compliment was an appropriate evaluation of the rebels.
Overnight, troops were gathered overnight, thousands of elite soldiers were mobilized overnight, and all supplies such as chariots, horses, tents, food, and grass were prepared overnight. This is not called speed, but what is speed?
Today's rebel army, from top to bottom, from Li Mengxi to Liu Bei, from Liu Bei to Guan Yu, is used to doing things in a hurry, and has become accustomed to acting vigorously and resolutely, which makes the rebel army's ability to act extremely outstanding.
Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, and Julu is north and east of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, when three thousand soldiers and horses leave Julu, they should march southwest.
Outside the west gate of Julu City, Li Mengxi led people to pull many carts of money, brocades and silks. He found Zuo Feng and flattered Zuo Feng for a while.
Li Mengxi had a flattering fake smile on his face, and kept saying things to please him against his will, "Oh, the angel came from afar, and now he's leaving?
Why don't you stay a few more days so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord?"
"Julu has just gone through war and is in dilapidated condition. I cannot entertain the angels well. Please forgive me!"
"Come on, bring everything here." Li Mengxi shouted back.
The soldiers pulled the cart over.
Li Mengxi was smart. The soldiers pulled the cart over. The cart was filled with silk and money. The money was piled high and stood out. If the baggage was arranged according to the marching status, all the baggage should be
They were covered with straw mats and linen to protect them from rain, but Li Mengxi deliberately left the money and brocades completely exposed.
Li Mengxi saw that when Qian Cai came over, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up when he saw Qian Cai.
Seeing this large amount of money, Zuo Feng had a smile on his face, and he refused hypocritically, "Oh, you have such great achievements, how dare you let the young master lose your money..."
"Hey! What are you talking about!" Li Mengxi's face was stern and he pretended to be angry, "Angels traveled thousands of miles to serve the emperor's orders, and their hard work has made great achievements. Isn't this merit?
The angels assisted the emperor in Luoyang and worked hard and diligently. Isn’t this merit?
The giant deer is in ruins and cannot give out three or two good gifts. We are already ashamed. If the angels don't accept these promised money, won't they make us ashamed?"
Hearing what Li Mengxi said, Zuo Feng smiled and accepted the money.
At the end, Li Mengxi cupped his hands towards Zuo Feng and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of angels' jokes. People from my small family, Xuande Gong, have never been to a big place like Luoyang. This person is unfamiliar with the place, why should I invite angels?"
Take care of one or two!"
Zuo Feng replied with a smile, "It doesn't matter, someone will be watching over you and nothing will go wrong."
Li Mengxi thanked him again.
On the side, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Jian Yong watched from a distance as Li Mengxi and Zuo Feng groveled to Zuo Feng. Liu Bei and others couldn't bear to see it.
I wonder when my military advisor has always been so arrogant, so humble and humble.
Liu Bei didn't know why the military advisor was so humble. Liu Bei couldn't bear it and lowered his head.
After a long time, Li Mengxi said many flattering words that made him feel sick, and finally sent Zuo Feng away.
As envoys, Zuo Feng and his party should naturally go to the front.
Zuo Feng had people pull away the money and vehicles and headed forward.
When Li Mengxi turned around, he saw Liu Bei and others approaching.
——
Li Mengxi wanted to say something to Liu Bei about smooth sailing, but he knew that things would not go smoothly if the wind was not smooth.
They looked at each other speechlessly for a long time.
Li Mengxi sighed, stared at Liu Bei, and said word by word, "Mr. Xuande, if you insist on going, I won't stop you.
It’s just that without a king, the world would be boring.”
"If you die in Luoyang, if you die at the hands of the Han Emperor," Li Mengxi looked cold, his words were cold, and murderous intent rose in his eyes, "If you are in trouble, then I will let the whole Han Dynasty be buried with you!"
Li Mengxi, a small person, said that he should be buried with a big man. Others would only make people laugh when he said this, but when Li Mengxi said it, he said it as it should be.
Liu Bei was touched and helpless at the same time. He smiled. Liu Bei leaned down and put his hand on Li Mengxi's shoulder. He looked at Li Mengxi and said sincerely, "Xi'er, I know you have amazing talents and even more amazing ambitions."
, if I die, the world will let you ride. But don’t use my name," Liu Bei's expression became serious, and he warned seriously, "I, Liu Xuande, am willing to die, and I will not complain when I die. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, I don't want to
Bear the infamy.
Xi'er, can you respond to this?"
Li Mengxi's expression was complicated. He opened his mouth a few times and hesitated for a long time, "...it's done."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In one word, I promised Liu Bei. I promised that if Liu Bei died in Luoyang, I would not avenge Liu Bei. I would not attack the world in the name of avenging Liu Bei. I promised Liu Bei not to
Let Liu Bei bear the infamy behind him.
Li Mengxi agreed, and Liu Bei felt relieved. He knew that his military advisor was a gentleman and would not break his trust.
Liu Bei laughed. He stood up and looked at his little military advisor carefully again. Liu Bei sighed in his heart that the little military advisor was still too young. How could such a child with a childish face be so capable?
Liu Bei couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Li Mengxi's face. Li Mengxi frowned and knocked down Liu Bei's hand in displeasure. Liu Bei laughed happily, "Xi'er, eat more meat, you're still so thin."
Turning around, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei, "Third brother, let's go!"
After that, he walked away without looking back.
Li Mengxi looked at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei also looked over.
Li Mengxi nodded towards Zhang Fei, "Third general, be careful in everything you do."
Zhang Fei nodded solemnly, and then chased after Liu Bei.
As the red sun was rising, on the main road out of Julu City in the west, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei turned their horses around and saluted Li Mengxi, Guan Yu, Jian Yong and others from a distance.
He took one last look and said, "Drive!" Liu Bei waved his whip and galloped away.
Li Mengxi and the other two watched Liu Bei and Zhang Fei go away, watching the long march slowly disappear into the horizon.
When the figure could no longer be seen, Li Mengxi felt lost.
——
Everyone knows that this is the end of the crisis.
Liu Bei knew that there was a danger ahead, and he regarded death as if he were going home, and he was very pregnant.
As for Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei also knew that there was danger ahead, and Zhang Fei's heart was filled with ups and downs and thousands of thoughts.
Zhang Fei recalled the various countermeasures taught by his military advisor. Zhang Fei recalled that if he went to Luoyang, he could make an appointment with his elder brother. If he did not return by the time limit, he would send someone to the city to inquire. If there is no news, the matter may be irreversible.
If someone from the imperial court comes to invite you at this time, you must not enter the city. Once you enter the city, you will not be able to save your elder brother, but you will be harmed.
Therefore, no matter what, you cannot enter the city or put yourself in danger.
As soon as they arrive at Luoyang City, regardless of whether the imperial court has any conspiracy or malicious intentions, no matter what, as soon as they arrive in Luoyang, they must immediately send out cavalry to inquire about the surrounding villages, arsenals, racecourses, terrain, and other details.
Wait, once you hear that your eldest brother is in prison, you should immediately mobilize your troops with lightning speed and sweep the place.
Among them, there is force coercion, the name of launching an army, "open the city gate to welcome the black king, and the black king will not pay for the food" and so on.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but touch his face, wondering, is Lao Zhang really that dark?
Zhang Fei took a look at the several carts of black cloth prepared by Li Mengxi. There were five carts full of black cloth strips. It was said that there were as many as 100,000. Zhang Feihao did not doubt this amount.
There are 100,000 black cloths. If you want to wrap up the people, you can sweep away 100,000 people in an instant.
After having these 100,000 people, they will sweep across the four directions, and within a few days they will become hundreds of thousands of people.
Just as the military adviser said, if you take three thousand old soldiers and disperse them into three thousand canal commanders, each of whom can lead a hundred or twenty-eight thousand people, you can gather an amazing force in an instant.
Afterwards, with hundreds of thousands of troops, they only needed to surround Luoyang to frighten the court and prevent it from taking any rash action.
At this point, the possible countermeasures of the imperial court are that if the imperial court is timid, they will immediately release the people; if there is an expert in the imperial court, such as Huangfu Song, Huangfu Lao'er, Huangfu Song's soldiers will be better than others, and he will be able to see that although the soldiers besieging the city are numerous, they will not be able to bear it.
In a battle, a wise man like Huangfu Song would have realized that hundreds of thousands of people could easily be defeated without attacking just by delaying the battle.
Zhang Fei thought about it, fortunately he had a military adviser, and the military adviser had clever countermeasures.
If the court wants to delay, then let the court not dare to delay. The way to prevent the court from delaying is to train troops and dig trenches.
Just outside Luoyang City, military training continues every day. As long as the imperial court dares to delay, the longer it delays, the stronger the fighting power of hundreds of thousands of people will be. As long as the imperial court dares to delay, as time goes by, the four gates of Luoyang City will be surrounded.
The trenches are deeper.
The court does not dare to delay. If it delays for a day, it will weaken the situation. If it cannot delay, the court will have to think about seeking peace urgently. If the court is eager to seek peace, the elder brother's life will not be worried.
This is the method of seeking victory through war.
