360. Soldiers send Yizhou
Liu Bei warmly received Zhang Song, an envoy from Yizhou at the Qi Palace. During the meal, Liu Bei's enthusiasm infected Zhang Song. After a banquet, the smile on Zhang Song's ugly face never stopped.
Of course, Han Fei was also among the drinks. After he talked to Liu Bei, he thought about going home to accompany his wife and children. However, Liu Bei insisted on holding him and not letting him go, and there was no way to stay and drink. It was precisely because of Han Fei here that Zhang Song's vanity was greatly satisfied. After all, the most popular celebrity under Liu Bei's command was Han Fei. Liu Bei was able to let him drink with him here, which shows his importance to him. Thinking of this, Zhang Song couldn't help but feel that a scholar died for his confidant.
The next thing went smoothly. After a few days, Zhang Song secretly met Liu Bei and presented the map of Yizhou he had drawn. Liu Bei was very happy and promised that if he could get Yizhou, he would definitely not treat him and his family unfairly. Zhang Song got Liu Bei's promise and immediately felt a big rock in his heart.
Seeing that the good thing was done, Zhang Song stayed in Changyi City for a few days before he asked for a farewell request. Liu Bei smiled and tried to stay: "Zi Qiao doesn't have to hurry back. I'm waiting for five days. I can take my navy back and get a large army to Yizhou. You can also go back with the boat."
When Zhang Song heard Liu Bei's statement, he was shocked and said, "Can the lord's naval army go directly to Yizhou? How can the lunar army of the Eastern Wu easily let our army pass through the Yangtze River?"
"Hahaha, Ziqiao doesn't have to worry too much. The water army of Eastern Wu is Gu's defeated general. You have never seen Gu's navy army. After a few days, you can see how majestic Gu's ship is." Liu Bei laughed out loud after hearing Zhang Song's question.
Zhang Song looked suspicious, but since Liu Bei said so, it would be okay to stay for a few more days. Three days later, Liu Bei took Zhang Song and his party, Han Fei, Zhang Fei and other generals to get up and chase the Donglai Naval Camp. This naval camp is the nearest naval base to Changyi City.
In two days, the navy will gather here, and then the navy commander Ding Feng personally escorted the army to Yizhou. Although Liu Bei did not say it clearly, Han Fei knew that he would lead the team to the battle again this time. He just didn't know which generals would be sent to accompany the army to fight.
There was nothing to say all the way, and in the evening, Liu Bei and his party came to the navy camp. The guard in the camp was Huang She, the captain, who personally led his people to line up at the gate of the camp to welcome Liu Bei and his party into the camp.
At this time, the navy had several ships docked, but some still had to wait until tomorrow to arrive. Liu Bei encouraged Huang Sho a few times, and then brought everyone to the lobby to sit down. At this time, Han Fei first chose to speak: "Lord, I wonder who will send to this expedition?"
Liu Bei looked at Han Fei who was talking and muttered in anger: "You don't have to count who you send to! Have you ever sent someone else to me before? Can you let me go there in person?" Thinking of this, Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and said to Han Fei: "Zicong, who do you think you should send?"
"This..." Han Fei was speechless for a while. He paused for a moment and had to bite the bullet and said, "Why would I go there?"
Liu Bei nodded and smiled, "Well! Gu also thinks it is better for you to go Zicong. As the saying goes, those who are capable work harder, Zicong, don't feel embarrassed. You can choose the civil and military officials of Gu. As for Gu's family, Gu will take care of you. You must know that Han Xu is still Gu's son-in-law!" Liu Bei knew that Han Fei could not let go of the family, so he comforted him. After Liu Bei said that, he burst into laughter, and Han Fei laughed dryly. Suddenly he felt a fierce look at him, and when he looked at the man, he found that it was the third general Zhang Fei.
Seeing that it was him, Han Fei immediately understood that he was reminding himself to choose him! So Han Fei was not polite, and he said to Liu Bei: "Lord, just let the Third General and General Zilong follow me!"
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay, then let them accompany you. In addition, let Xu Shu accompany you."
It turned out that after returning from Jingzhou, Han Feibian called Xu Shu directly and sent someone to take his mother to Changyi City. Therefore, Xu Shu was extremely grateful to Han Fei, and Liu Bei also intended to train him, so he suggested that Han Fei take him with him. Han Fei nodded, and it would be easier with Xu Shu and he followed him. If Zhuge Liang followed him, it would be better, but now Zhuge Liang has been valued by Liu Bei and arranged in Runan City to prevent Cao Cao from sending troops rashly.
Since the matter was settled, Han Fei had no intention of staying here. He sued Liu Bei for a false alarm and then took Mi Fang and Sun Wu and other guards to get up and return to Changyi City overnight.
Cai Yan saw Han Fei rushing back home with her intelligence, and immediately knew that Liu Bei was preparing to let his husband go to war. He felt reluctant, but he knew that his husband was a person who was determined to be in all directions, so she just started to pack Han Fei with red eyes.
After resting at home for a day, Han Fei bid farewell to his beautiful wife and concubine, and took Xu Shu back to the Donglai Navy camp. At this time, the naval ships that went on the expedition had all been assembled. When Zhang Song saw the large ship of Liu Bei's naval army, he felt much more at ease. When he saw the appearance of the navy again, he felt completely relieved.
It is said that the naval army of the Eastern Wu is very powerful, but the navy in front of him is definitely much stronger than the Eastern Wu navy. Neither it is a ship nor a soldier, it is comparable to the Eastern Wu navy.
In this way, after Han Fei arrived, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were ready. This expedition, a total of 30,000 troops were grouped together. The army sat 30,000 on ten large ships, and then the fleet drove through the Yangtze River in a mighty manner. Next, it would go upstream and go straight to Baidi City in Yizhou.
Liu Bei saw them off in person, and saw the fleet leaving the port and disappeared. Liu Bei then brought the remaining people back to Changyi City.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the fleet took five days to enter the Yangtze River. At this time, the navy of the Eastern Wu already knew, but as Liu Bei expected, the navy of the Eastern Wu did not dare to attack them rashly. He just sent a ship to hang far behind Liu Bei's army. Four days later, Liu Bei's fleet finally arrived outside Baidi City.
