Back to the Three Kingdoms

It was quiet in the middle of the night, and Chen Lang sat in front of the map and looked at the areas of Nanban's ministries on the map, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Footsteps came from outside the door. Chen Lang retracted his thoughts and looked towards the door, and saw Ma Liang and Huang Zhong walking in. When the two saw Chen Lang, they saluted together, and Ma Liang said: "It has been arranged according to the lord's will."

Chen Lang nodded and asked, "I heard that important figures in Nanban's ministries will go to the sacred mountain to worship the gods soon?" The Nanban ministries have similar beliefs and similar customs. One of the prominent manifestations is rushing to the sacred mountain in the first half of February. The tradition of worshipping mountain gods. Every year at this time, as long as conditions permit, the leaders of the tribes and the ordinary people will rush to the vicinity of the sacred mountain to defeat the gods. The tribes regard the sacred mountain as the closest place to the gods.

Ma Liang said, "It is true. This is the tradition of the various Nanban tribes. Every year as long as there is no war or catastrophe, important figures from various Nanban tribes will rush to the sacred mountain to pay homage. At present, the Zhurong tribe controls the area of ​​the sacred mountain, and the Zhu Rong clan seems to have taken advantage of this. Conditions to expand their WeChat intentions. According to the feedback provided by Merchants and the details, Zhu Rong seems to have faintly advertised himself as the agent of the gods in the world."

Chen Lang said, "I plan to rush to the mountain. You can find a reliable guide for me."

The two were taken aback, and Huang Zhong couldn't help but cried out: "How can this be done! The mountain is the realm of the enemy, and the lord's safety is of great importance. How can you commit danger! Never!"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "I have a sense of measure. I went to the mountain as a merchant. Since Zhu Rong has great ambitions, naturally, he will not embarrass a merchant like me. Besides, I have to personally see the situation there. At the same time, I can control the situation in time when I am there." Seeing Huang Zhong wanted to persuade him again, he said: "I have already decided!" Huang Zhong was depressed, and worried, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Since the lord is going, it's better to just go. Let the final commander escort!"

Ma Liang quickly said, "How can this be done? If the old general is gone, who will lead the army here?"

Chen Lang said: "What Ma Liang said. Not to mention that too many people will only arouse others' suspicion. I don't need extra guards. I only need to rate dozens of guards to follow. Even if there is a case, they are enough. Responsible."

Ma Liang suggested: "It's better to let General Huang Wudie go with him. With the female relatives by his side, it must be more cover-up." Huang Zhong quickly echoed: "Yes, right. It's just that the lord doesn't want me to go with me, but I have to dance anyway. On the butterfly belt. She has the essence of my archery skills, and once sneaked into the Nanban, she will be able to protect the lord in detail!"

Chen Lang thought for a while and nodded.

At this time, there were rapid footsteps outside, followed by rapid voices, and immediately saw Dian Wei leading a young man dressed as a barbarian and hurriedly stepping forward.

Everyone's eyes fell on the young man, and the young man bowed to Chen Lang: "Master, the subordinate is a meticulous work going to the sacred mountain, and there is an emergency military report."

Chen Lang asked: "What's the situation?"

"Enlighten the lord, there have been major changes in the Nanban tribes. Menghuo led the tribe army to attack the Ugo country suddenly. The two sides broke out and many small tribes were also engulfed in it! Now Nanzhong is full of smoke and chaos! "

When the three Chen Lang heard the words, they couldn't help but look at each other in amazement. Chen Lang asked: "How could this happen?"

He elaborated: "I heard that it was because of the proposal to Zhu Rong, the patriarch of Zhu Rong tribe. It seems that Zhu Rong first liked Meng Huo. Later, for some reason, he showed a good impression of Wu Tu Gu, the country’s lord of Ugo. Therefore, Meng Huo was furious. Believing that the Wutu bone was a stalk, he led people to find the Wutu bone to settle the account. However, due to the many followers that Wutu bone brought to the mountain, Meng Huo failed to succeed and was almost killed by the opponent. After Meng Huo fled the mountain, he immediately mobilized the army. He and the surrounding small clans launched an offensive against Ugo. Wu Tugu also hurriedly mobilized his army and the many small clans attached to him to fight. The two sides have been fighting for many days, and there have been countless casualties."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "It turns out to be jealous for women's struggles!"

Ma Liang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master, this is a great opportunity!"

Chen Lang smiled and nodded, and asked, "Zhu Rong didn't mediate them?"

He elaborated: "Zhu Rong sent people to mediate at the beginning of their war, but they couldn't persuade them at all, and the war became more and more serious."

"Where is Liu Bei? What is he doing?"

He shook his head carefully and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard of Liu Bei's situation."

Ma Liang said: "Liu Bei definitely does not want to see such a scene. Zhu Rong's mediation must have been promoted by Liu Bei. But Zhu Rong can't persuade him. What can Liu Bei do." Then he clasped his fist and said: "Lord, matter. If there is a change, the lord should not sneak into the sacred mountain. It is better to send troops immediately and take this opportunity to calm Nanzhong in one fell swoop!" Huang Zhong immediately clasped his fists and said: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard!"

Chen Lang nodded and said categorically, "Old General, you immediately pass on the order, and all armies must be assembled!" Huang Zhong clasped his fists and ran out of the big tent.

Chen Lang said to Ma Liang: "Jichang is based in Chengdu, and at the same time is responsible for transporting the grain and grass." Ma Liang clasped his fist and promised.

auzw.com In the middle of the night, when the order was sent to fly out of the camp, the rush of horseshoes disappeared into the darkness.

At this time, in the Yizhou County Office, Liu Beizheng was pacing back and forth anxiously. Yizhou County is actually now Kunming and its surrounding areas. In this era, Yizhou was not the only part of Sichuan. The entire Yizhou was divided into two parts: the north and the south. The north of Yizhou was basically the current Sichuan region, while the south of Yizhou included the current Yunnan of Guizhou and the northeastern part of Myanmar. Nanzhong. At that time, Nanzhong was a place where there were very few Han people, but many Nanbans lived there. Although counties were also set up here, they were basically filled by local tribal leaders. There were few Han officials, basically only Yizhou. The head of the county is appointed by the central government. Yizhou County can be said to be the capital of Nanzhong. It manages Nanzhong affairs in name. The former prefect of Yizhou County was Yong Kai, but Yong Kai was suddenly attacked and killed by bandits when he was out of the city to inspect the construction of farmland and water conservancy, while Liu Bei was killed. He was elected by the local clans and took over the post of prefect, so in name, Nanzhong is the territory of Liu Bei.

Liao Hua rushed in. Upon seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?"

Liao Hua shook his head and cursed annoyedly: "The two barbarians drove our people back, so they didn't obey orders at all!"

Liu Bei frowned tightly, pacing back and forth, muttering: "Why does such a thing happen at this critical time!" Then he stopped and resolutely said: "I will meet them personally!"

Chai Sang, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, are discussing the current situation with Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

Lu Su frowned and said: "Although the Wei army has assembled a large army, there is no sign of attack. It seems that their strategy is the same as ours, and they all want to wait for the opponent to advance first."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Cao Cao has a veteran plan, so naturally he will not attack rashly.

Lu Su said anxiously: "If Cao Cao doesn't take the initiative to attack, it is even more impossible for Chen Lang to attack. Isn't this situation going to become a deadlock?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Why Zijing should be anxious, there is no harm to us in such a situation."

Lu Su was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Does Gong Jin hope that the stalemate will continue like this?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

At this moment, an army officer hurried in and reported: "Report to the lord, news from Luoyang's spy." He said, holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands.

Zhou Yu immediately got up, walked to the officer, took the bamboo slips, and looked at it again. Everyone's eyes were on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, as I expected." Then he said to everyone: "Chen Lang did not go to Jingzhou, nor to Baoshuiguan, but went to Xichuan."

The three of them were taken aback, Lu Su reacted first, and said anxiously: "Isn't Chen Lang planning to solve Liu Bei first?" Sun Jian and Sun Ce suddenly realized.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Although Liu Bei and the other Nanbarians are not strong, they directly threaten Chen Lang's rear. If this threat is not removed first, I will not be able to concentrate on competing with us. If I were Chen Lang, I must also solve the Nanban first! So when I got the news that Chen Lang had rushed to Jingzhou, I felt that this was nothing but Chen Lang's suspicion. Now it has confirmed my guess."

Lu Su respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Gong Jin is really clever!"

Sun Ce hurriedly said: "Since Chen Lang is not in Jingzhou, we can counterattack Jiang Xia! First capture Jiang Xia, then attack Jingzhou!" Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Zhou Yu's face.

Zhou Yu smiled, with a confident look, and said: "Let's not move, and send someone to tell Cao Cao about this news."

Everyone looked excited, and Sun Ce gave a high-five applause. "A good strategy. Then Cao Cao will surely attack Chen Lang as soon as he gets the news. When the two of them are playing lively, it's time for us to attack." "Zhou Yu smiled and said: "That's it."

Yanzhou. At this time, it was the time when the lanterns were first started, and the lights in the hall were brightly lit, and Cao Cao was walking back and forth in the hall with a roll of bamboo slips on his back.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun You came together, and when they saw Cao Cao, they saluted together: "Master!"

Cao Cao stopped, glanced at the three of them, took out the bamboo slips in his hand, and smiled: "This was sent by Sun Jian just now."

Xun You hurried forward to take the bamboo slips, and the three passed them through. Xunyou clasped his fist and said, "Master, this is Zhou Yu's plan. He wants us to go to war with the Qin army first! We must not be fooled!"

Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other and smiled slightly. Cao Cao looked at the expressions of the two and smiled: "Feng Xiao and Wen Ruo seem to have different opinions."

Xun Yu smiled and said: "The subordinates just thought, if we are not fooled, I am afraid that this battle will really turn into a deadlock, and I don't know how long and how long will we come to a result."
