Chapter 156 Women Are Like Clothes, How Can They Be More Important Than The Lord's Great Cause!
Liu Bei looked blank, and looked at Zhuge Liang, puzzled.
He wants to order Zhang Xiu to lead the army to attack to recover Zhuge Liang's fiancée!
Zhuge Liang actually spoke to stop it?
But Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said: "Liu Wu is cunning, if he wants to humiliate Liang, he just needs to send a general to take Miss Huang away, why bother to come to Fancheng by himself, there must be fraud!"
Liu Bei's heart shook, as if he had realized something.
Zhuge Liang continued: "It is clear that Liu Wu must be trying to use the pretext of kidnapping Miss Huang's family, and then using Zhang Xiu's desire to avenge his son, to lead him to lead the army to attack, so as to ambush halfway, Liu Wu's real purpose must be It is to capture Fancheng!"
He pointed out Liu Wu's intention.
Liu Bei shivered, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "I knew that this kid was despicable and cunning, and he even resorted to such low-level tricks. Fortunately, the military master saw through it!"
The topic changed.
But Liu Bei looked at Huang Chengyan in embarrassment: "It's just that Miss Huang was taken away by that kid. If we don't send troops, how can we rescue her?"
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, not knowing how to appease Huang Chengyan.
Huang Chengyan tremblingly said: "Liu Shijun, nephew Kong Ming, something is wrong, something is wrong!"
Liu Bei was at a loss and couldn't understand what he meant.
Zhuge Liang's heart was shocked, and he said anxiously: "Could it be that Zhang Xiu has made his own claim and led the army to chase and kill Liu Wu?"
Huang Chengyan blamed himself and said: "It's the old man who is stupid and failed to see Liu Wu's tricks. He went to Fancheng to ask General Zhang for help. The army left the city and went north to pursue Liu Wu!"
As soon as this remark came out, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang changed their colors in astonishment.
Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiu has Yuan Zhi as his assistant, how can he not see Liu Wu's tricks, why didn't he stop them?"
Liu Bei also asked, "Yes, Yuan Zhi is very resourceful, why didn't he stop Zhang Xiu's impulsiveness?"
"Yuanzhi persuaded him, but Zhang Xiu wanted to avenge his son, so he refused to listen to his advice and insisted on leading the army to attack.
"Yuan Zhi had no choice but to let the old man come to Xiangyang to report to Liu Shijun."
Huang Chengyan said with a bitter face.
Liu Bei was dumbfounded, his figure shook, and he looked at Zhuge Liang in panic.
Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh, and said dejectedly: "This Liu Wu, from the very beginning, was planning to attack Fancheng. Liang should have guessed that he killed Zhang Xiu's son for another purpose. He should have persuaded the lord to change another general to guard Fancheng. That's right, alas..."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and blamed himself, with a look of remorse on his face.
"It's useless to say this now!"
Liu Bei said anxiously: "Military Master, it is a foregone conclusion that Zhang Xiu led the army out of the city, what should we do now?"
Zhuge Liang barely regained his composure, rolled his eyes a few times, and immediately said: "For the present plan, my lord should send a flying horse to recall Zhang Xiu immediately, maybe there is still time, and at the same time lead the army to the northern bank of Fancheng to sit in town!"
Liu Bei didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately adopted Zhuge Liang's strategy.
On the one hand, he sent people to cross the Han River, and flew north to chase Zhang Xiu back.
At the same time, Liu Bei assembled a large army and rushed to the water camp on the bank, intending to lead the army across the river in person to take over the defense of Fancheng.
before sunset.
The 30,000 Jingzhou troops had gathered on the shore, and began to board the naval warships one after another.
Liu Bei also boarded a warship, looked at the north bank and said, "Master, we should go to Fancheng now, there should be time.
"My lord, don't worry too much."
" Liu Wu did not send troops south on a large scale. Even if he wanted to ambush Zhang Xiu, he could only use 5,000 soldiers from Fancheng.
"In Zhang Xiu's hands, there are at least 10,000 elite soldiers, even if they are ambushed, they may not be wiped out.
"As long as he can bring half of the soldiers and horses back to Fancheng, he will be able to defend Fancheng without losing it until the Lord leads the reinforcements to arrive."
Zhuge Liang was so relieved.
Liu Bei exhaled lightly, feeling a little comforted in his heart.
He looked to the north and snorted coldly: "Liu Wu, even if you are cunning, so what, do you really think that you can easily steal the important town of Fancheng in this mansion? Delusion!"
The sarcasm didn't stop.
Several boats on the river, carrying more than a hundred soldiers who escaped from Fancheng, arrived at the water camp on the south bank.
Several surviving losers fell at Liu Bei's feet.
"My lord, General Zhang led an army to pursue Liu Wu. He was caught by Liu Wu and Baima Yicong in ambush at Huxiaogang. General Zhang was captured alive by Liu Wu. My ten thousand troops were wiped out.
"The Qi army took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and Lord Xu Bo abandoned the city and fled, but was intercepted by the enemy cavalry and was shot to death!"
"Fancheng has fallen!"
The defeated soldier howled and reported a series of bad news.
Liu Bei's eyes were dull and his figure was frozen.
Zhuge Liang's feather fan was also suspended in the air, his face calmly disappeared and turned into shock.
The Jingzhou army left and right went up and down, but the pot exploded, and they fell into panic.
"boom!"
Liu Bei came back to his senses, punched the wall of the boat, and cursed sadly: "Zhang Xiu, I believe that my family trusts you so much, you have missed a major event of this family, you have disappointed my family so much!"
Zhuge Liang shuddered, looked at the North Shore with resentment, gritted his teeth and said, "It's still half a step too late, even Yuan Zhi was killed because of that Liu Wu—"
"Yuanzhi, how can this government allow you to sacrifice in vain!"
Liu Bei also reacted, and shouted: "The order is passed on, and the whole army will cross the river immediately. The government will take back Fancheng, and personally kill Liu Wu to avenge Yuanzhi!"
In his rage, he wanted to fight across the river.
Zhuge Liang's expression was serious, and he said urgently: "My lord, calm down, Liu Wu not only mobilized five thousand troops from Xinye, but also secretly dispatched the white horse Yi Cong. Now that Fancheng is lost, our army hastily crossed the river, not only will we not be able to take back Fancheng , I'm afraid I'll be defeated by Liu Wu again!"
Liu Bei's body was shocked, and Zhuge Liang poured cold water on his stomach full of anger.
He said sadly and indignantly: "Could it be that the government sits back and watches the fall of Fancheng, and when Liu Wu's soldiers come to Han River, won't they avenge Yuanzhi?"
"Fancheng will be taken back sooner or later, and Yuan Zhi's hatred will naturally be avenged, but not now!"
"Now Liu Wu's ambition to swallow our Jingzhou is obvious. The first thing we need to do is to gather troops and horses, occupy the Hanshui natural danger, and repel Liu Wu's invasion."
"My lord, you must put the overall situation first!"
213 Zhuge Liang analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, and tried hard to persuade each other.
Liu Bei's anger gradually subsided, but he said again: "Military Master, your fiancée is also in Liu Wu's hands, don't you want to save her too?"
Mentioning Huang Yueying, a fire of shame and anger ignited in Zhuge Liang's heart immediately.
But he swallowed the bitterness forcefully, pretending to be disdainful and snorted: "How can Liang miss the lord's great cause of supporting the Han family for a woman. Then Liang becomes a sinner of Dawen!
These words touched Liu Bei's heart.
He breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in praise and said: "Women are like clothes, and if the military division can do this, the preparation will feel at ease."
The two masters and ministers, who had comforted each other, could only look at the north bank with unwilling but helpless eyes.
In the sky above Fancheng, battle flags with the word "Qi" flying dazzlingly.
And in Fancheng.
Liu Wu also pushed Cao Cao, boarded the south gate of Fancheng, and looked at Xiangyang City on the south bank across the Han River.
"The wise son-in-law took Fancheng out of his wits without spending a single soldier. It is truly a stroke of genius!"
"We're finally drinking Ma Hanshui, and we're going to have a showdown with that big-eared thief!"
Cao Cao sighed in admiration, looking at the rolling Han water with emotion.
Liu Wu smiled lightly: "Before finalizing the grievances with Liu Bei, this king first helped my father-in-law to fulfill a wish.
Cao Cao was taken aback.
Liu Wu waved his hands and shouted: "Come here, escort Zhang Xiu up and hand it over to my father-in-law.
The order was passed, and Zhang Xiu, covered in blood, was dragged to the top of the city and held in front of Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao saw Zhang Xiu, in an instant, endless anger ignited in his eyes. .
