But Zhou Yu saw that Kongming attacked Nanjun and heard that he attacked Jingxiang, how could he not be angry?Qi hurt arrow sores, Fang Su for a long time.The generals will persuade you again and again.Yu said: If you don't kill Zhuge Villager, how can you appease the resentment in my heart?Cheng Demou can help me attack Nanjun, and I will take back Soochow.During the discussion, Lu Su arrived.Yu said, "I want to form an army to fight against Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and regain the city."You are lucky to help me.Lu Su said: "Impossible: now we are in a stalemate with Cao Cao, and we have not yet divided into defeats; my lord sees that the attack and cooperation are not enough; if you don't fight for your own annexation, if Cao's soldiers come in under the hood, it will be in danger."Kuang Liu Xuande used to be close to Cao Cao. If he was forced to sacrifice his city and attack Soochow together, what would he do?Yu said: "We use tactics, damage soldiers and horses, and waste money and food. Don't you hate him if he goes to try to see success!"Su said: "Gong Jin is patient."Rong Mou saw Xuande in person and told him the truth.If it doesn't make sense, it's not too late to mobilize troops by then.The generals said: "Zi Jing's words are very kind."

So Lu Su led his followers to Nanjun and went to the city to call the door.Zhao Yun asked.Su said, "I want to see Liu Xuande and have something to say."Yun replied: "My lord and the military division are in Jingzhou City."Su Sui did not enter Nanjun, but went straight to Jingzhou.Seeing that the banners and flags are lined up, and the army is very prosperous, Su An envied and said, "Kong Ming is really very human!"The sergeant reported to the city that Lu Zijing wanted to see him.Kongming ordered the gates of the city to be opened wide, and Su entered the Yamen.After the ceremony, the host and guest sit separately.After tea, Su said: "My lord Marquis Wu, and the governor, Gongjin, have repeatedly appealed to the emperor's uncle: the former, who attracted millions of people, went to the south of the Yangtze River, and really wanted to come to the emperor's uncle; fortunately, Soochow killed and retreated." Cao Bing saved the emperor's uncle, and all the nine counties of Jingzhou belonged to Soochow.Today, the emperor's uncle used tricks to seize Jingxiang, so that Jiangdong wasted money, food, army and horses, and the emperor's uncle was benefited from it.Kong Ming said: "Zi Jing is a brilliant man, why did he say that?"As the saying goes: things must return to the Lord.The nine prefectures of Jingxiang are not the land of Soochow, but Liu Jingsheng's foundation.My lord Gu Jingsheng's younger brother.Although Jingsheng died, his son is still alive.Why not take Jingzhou with uncle and niece?Su said: "If the fruit is occupied by the son Liu Qi, there is still a solution; now the son is in Jiangxia, so he must not be here."Kongming said: "Zijing, do you want to see your son?"It's about life: please come out, young master.I saw two servants helping Liu Qi out from behind the screen.Qi said to Su and said: "If you are sick, you can't give courtesy. If you respect me, don't sin."Lu Su was taken aback, and remained silent for a long time, saying: "If the young master is not here, what will happen?"Kongming said: "My son is here for one day, keep one day; if you are not there, don't discuss it."Su said: "If the son is not here, you must return the city to Soochow."Kong Ming said: "Zi Jing's words are true."So a banquet was held to treat each other.

After the banquet, Su Ci left the city and returned to the village overnight to make a statement.Yu said: Liu Qi was young in Zhengqichun, how could he die?When will this Jingzhou be returned?Su said: Don't worry, the governor: it's only on Lu Su, and Jingxiang must be returned to Soochow.Yu said, "What is Zijing's insight?"Su said: "I think Liu Qi is too drunk and extremely ill. I see that he looks emaciated, asthmatic and vomiting blood; within half a year, he will die."At that time, Liu Bei had no choice but to go to fetch Jingzhou.Zhou Yu was still angry, when suddenly Sun Quan sent an envoy.Yuling please come in.The envoy said: "My lord besieged Fei, and we were defeated after many battles."The governor was specially ordered to take back the army, and sent troops to Hefei to help.Zhou Yu had no choice but to return to Chai Sang to recover from his illness, and ordered Cheng Pu's troops to lead the warships and soldiers to come to Hefei to listen to Sun Quan's calls.

But it is said that Liu Xuande was overjoyed when he won Jingzhou, Nanjun and Xiangyang, and discussed long-term plans.Suddenly, I saw a person coming to the hall to offer advice. I regarded him as Yiji.Xuande felt his old kindness, respected each other very much, and sat down to ask about it.Ji said: If you want to know the long-term plan of Jingzhou, why don't you ask the wise men to ask about it?Xuande said, "Where are the wise men?"The book says: There are five brothers from the Ma family in Jingxiang, and they have talented names: the youngest is named Su, with the character Youchang;There is a proverb in Yuli that says: Ma's Wuchang, white eyebrows are the best.Why don't you seek this man and conspire with him?Xuande then ordered him to be invited.Ma Liangzhi, Xuande treats each other with courtesy, may I ask the policy of keeping Jingxiang.Liang said: "Jingxiang is a place surrounded by enemies, and I'm afraid we can't keep it for a long time; you can let the son Liu Qi recuperate here, and invite the old people to guard it, and play the son as the governor of Jingzhou, so as to reassure the people."Then the four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling were conquered in the south, and money and food were accumulated to collect money and food, thinking of it as the foundation: this is a long-term plan.Xuande was overjoyed, so he asked, "Which county should the four counties take first?"Liang said: To the west of the Xiangjiang River, Lingling is the closest, so you can take it first.Take Wuling for the second time.Then take Guiyang to the east of the Xiangjiang River.After Changsha.Xuande then used Ma Liang as his job, and Yiji as his deputy.Ask Kong Ming to discuss sending Liu Qi back to Xiangyang and return to Jingzhou for Yun Chang.Then he dispatched troops to take Lingling, and sent Zhang Fei as the vanguard. After Zhao Yun joined forces, Kong Ming and Xuande were the central army, with 15,000 troops;

But Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, had a discussion with his son Liu Xian when he heard that Xuande's army was coming.Xian said: Father, don't worry: Although he has the courage of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, my general Xing Daorong in this state can resist ten thousand people.Liu Du then ordered Liu Xian and Xing Daorong to lead more than 10,000 troops, 30 miles away from the city, and rely on the mountain and the underwater village.The Tanma newspaper said: Kongming himself led an army to come.Daorong led the army to fight.When the two battles faced each other, Daorong rode out, wielded a mountain-breaking axe, and shouted sharply: "The rebels dare to invade my realm!"During the match, a bunch of yellow flags came out.At the opening of the flag, a four-wheeled cart was rolled out. There was a person sitting in the cart, wearing a lun scarf on his head, a crane cloak on his body, and a feather fan in his hand.Cao Cao attracted millions of people, and I used a small trick to kill them all without returning.How can you stand against me?I'm here to recruit you, why don't you come down sooner?Daorong laughed and said: "It's Zhou Lang's plan to fight against Chibi. What are you doing? You dare to lie!"The big ax ran to Kong Ming.Kong Ming then returned to the car, walked in the formation, and the gate of the formation closed again.Daorong charged straight over, splitting his formation into two and leaving.Daorong looked at a cluster of yellow flags in the center. He expected it to be Kong Ming, but he only looked at the yellow flags and drove away.Wiping the foot of the mountain, the yellow flag was tied, and suddenly the center parted, and there was no four-wheeled cart, only a spear and a leaping horse, shouted, and went straight to Daorong: it was Zhang Yide.Daorong came to meet him with a big axe. After a few battles and no strength, he pulled his horse and left.Yide then came, shouting loudly, two ambushes came out together.Daorong rushed past, and a general in front blocked the way, shouting: Do you recognize Zhao Zilong from Changshan?Daorong expected to be defeated and had nowhere to run, so he had to dismount and ask for surrender.Zilong Fu came to see Xuande and Kongming in the stronghold.Xuande shouted and beheaded.Kongming stopped in a hurry and asked Rong, "if you and I capture Liu Xian, you will be allowed to surrender."Daorong repeatedly expressed his willingness to go.Kongming said: "How do you catch him?"Daorong said: "if the military master is willing to let me go back, I will have a clever way to say it."Tonight, the military division dispatched troops to rob the stronghold. As an internal response, a certain person captured Liu Xian alive and offered it to the military division.Liu Xian was captured, and Liu Du surrendered himself.Xuande didn't believe his words.Kongming said: General Xing is not lying.Then he let go and returned home with honor.Daorong had to be released back to the village, and told Liu Xian the previous facts.Xian said: "What can I do?"Daorong said: "You can use the plan."Tonight, the generals are lying outside the stronghold, and flags and banners are erected in the middle of the stronghold. When Kong Ming comes to rob the stronghold, he will be captured.Liu Xian counted.

At the second watch of the night, a Biao army came to the gate of the village, each with a straw handle, and set fire together.Liu Xian and Daorong came to kill twice, and the fire army retreated.The two armies of Liu Xian and Daorong took advantage of the momentum to pursue them. After more than ten miles, they disappeared.Liu Xian and Daorong were shocked and rushed back to the village, only to see that the fire was still alive, and Zhang Yide stood out from the village.Liu Xian called Daorong: "You can't enter the stronghold, but go to rob Kongming stronghold."So he returned to the army.After walking less than ten miles, Zhao Yun led an army out diagonally, stabbing Dao Rong under his horse with a single shot.Liu Xian gallops his horse away, and Zhang Fei comes behind him, catches the horse alive, and binds him to see Kong Ming.Xian Gao said: "Xing Daorong taught someone to do this, which is not his original intention."Kongming ordered him to be released, put on his clothes, gave wine to suppress the shock, and sent people into the city to say that his father surrendered; if he did not surrender, he would break the city and kill everyone.Liu Xian went back to Lingling to see his father Liu Du, described Kong Ming's virtues, and persuaded his father to surrender.Du followed it, so he raised and lowered the flag under the city, opened the city gate, left the city with a seal and ribbon, and threw himself into Xuande Dazhai to accept surrender.Kong Ming taught Liu Du to remain as the county guard, and his son Liu Xian went to Jingzhou to serve with the army.The residents of Lingling County are all happy.

After Xuande entered the city to appease himself, he rewarded the three armies.But he asked all the generals, "Lingling has been taken, who in Guiyang County dares to take it?"Zhao Yun replied: "Someone is willing to go."Zhang Fei came out excitedly and said: "Flying is also willing to go!"The two are fighting.Kong Ming said: "In the end, Zilong responded first, and only taught Zilong to go."Zhang Fei refused to accept it and decided to take it.Kong Ming taught by casting lots, and the ones that were cast went away.Zilong picked it up again.Zhang Fei said angrily, "I don't want anyone to help me. I just lead three thousand troops alone to secure the city."Zhao Yun said: "Someone also led only 3,000 troops."If you can't get into the city, you are willing to accept military orders.Kongming was overjoyed. He issued the military order and selected three thousand elite soldiers to pay Zhao Yun.Zhang Fei refused to accept, Xuande shouted back.

Zhao Yun led three thousand troops and headed for Guiyang.Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, had been informed by scouts.Fan hurriedly gathered people to discuss.Captain Guan Jun Chen Ying and Bao Long are willing to lead the troops to fight.It turns out that both of them were born as hunters in the Guiyangling Mountains: Chen Ying used to make a flying fork, and Bao Long once shot and killed two tigers.Relying on their bravery, the two said to Zhao Fan: "If Liu Bei comes, some two are willing to be the front."Zhao Fan said: "I heard that Liu Xuande is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty; moreover, Kong Ming is resourceful, Guan and Zhang Jiyong; Zhao Zilong, who is leading the army today, is like entering a land of no one among the millions of troops in Changban, Dangyang."How many people can I have in Guiyang?You can't meet the enemy, you can only surrender.Ying said: "Please go to war."If Zhao Yun cannot be captured, it will not be too late for the prefect to surrender at that time.Zhao Fan couldn't resist, so he had to agree.

Chen Ying led three thousand troops out of the city to meet the enemy. He had seen Zhao Yun leading the army coming.Chen Ying formed a formation, and the Pegasus crossed out.Zhao Yun fired his gun and scolded Chen Ying, saying: "My lord Liu Xuande is Liu Jingsheng's younger brother."Liu Qi, the current assistant son, led Jingzhou together, and came here to caress the people.How dare you meet the enemy?Chen Ying scolded and said: We only obey Prime Minister Cao, not Liu Bei!Zhao Yun was furious, he raised his spear and charged at Chen Ying.You should twist your fork to welcome you.The two horses met, and the battle reached four or five closes. Chen Yingliao was no match, so he pulled his horse and left.Zhao Yun chased after him.Chen Ying recalled that Zhao Yun was close to Malai, and threw it with a flying fork, but was caught by Zhao Yun, who threw it back at Chen Ying.He escaped in an emergency, and Yunma arrived early. He captured Chen Ying alive, threw the horse into the ground, and bound the soldiers back to the stronghold.The defeated army scattered in all directions.Yun entered the stronghold and scolded Chen Ying, saying: "How dare you fight against us!"I will not kill you now, but let you go back; tell Zhao Fan, come and surrender early.Chen Ying apologized, ran away with his head in his arms, returned to the city, and told Zhao Fan what he wanted to do.Fan said: I originally wanted to surrender, but you insisted on fighting, so this is the case.Then he reprimanded Chen Ying, held the seal and ribbon together, and led a dozen riders out of the city to vote in Dazhai to surrender.

Yun came out of the village to greet him, waited for the guest ceremony, bought wine and drank together, and accepted the seal and ribbon.After drinking for several rounds, Fan said: "The general's surname is Zhao, and a certain surname is also Zhao: Five hundred years ago, they were one family."The general is a real Dingren, and a certain one is also a real Dingren: it is the same.If you don't give up and become brothers, it's really a blessing.Yun is overjoyed, each recounting the year.Yun and Fan are the same age.Yun Changfan was four months old, and Fan Sui worshiped Yun as his brother.The two have the same age, same age, and same surname, so they get along very well.In the evening, Xi San, Fan Ci returned to the city.The next day, Fan Qingyun entered the city to comfort the people.Sergeant Yunjiao rested, and only brought fifty cavalry into the city.Residents hold incense and walk along the road to meet them.After Yun Anmin finished, Zhao Fan invited him to the yamen for a banquet.When the wine was half drunk, Fan Fu invited Yun into the depths of the back hall to wash the cups and have a drink.Yun Yin was slightly drunk, and Fan Hu invited a woman out to drink wine with Yun.Zilong saw that the woman was wearing onyx, and she looked like a country and a city, so he asked Fan, "Who is this?"Fan said: "My sister-in-law Fan's family is also."Zilong changed his face and respected him.After Fan finished the lamp, Fan Ling sat down.Cloud thank you.Fan's resignation returned to the back hall.Yun said: Brother, why bother to order my sister-in-law to toast?Fan Xiao said: "There is a reason in the middle, please don't stop me begging brother: my elder brother has passed away for three years, and his sister-in-law is a widow. It is not the end. My brother often persuades him to remarry."My sister-in-law said: If I have a person who has three things, I will marry him: first, he must be well-known in both civil and military affairs, and he must be famous all over the world;Do you think there is such a coincidence in the world?Today's elder brother has a dignified appearance, is famous all over the world, and has the same surname as his elder brother, which is exactly what his sister-in-law said.If you don't think my sister-in-law is ugly, and would like to accompany the dowry, marry the general as a wife, and become relatives for generations, how about it?Yun Wenyan was furious, and said sharply: "I and you are brothers, and your sister-in-law is also my sister-in-law. How can you do such a messy thing!"Zhao Fan was ashamed, and replied: I treat each other with kindness, how can I be so rude!So he looked left and right, with the intention of harming each other.Yun Jijue knocked Zhao Fan down with one punch, went out of the mansion, mounted his horse and left the city.

Fan hurriedly called Chen Ying and Bao Long to discuss.Ying said: "This man has gone away in anger, just fight with him."Fan said: But I'm afraid I won't be able to win against him.Bao Long said: "The two of us pretended to surrender to his army, but the prefect led his troops to fight, so we went up and captured them."Chen Ying said: "We must bring some troops."Long said: "Five hundred riders are enough."That night, the two led five hundred troops to Zhao Yunzhai to surrender.Yun already knew the deceit, so he taught and called in.The second general went to the tent and said: Zhao Fan wanted to use beauty tricks to make money for the general. He only waited for the general to get drunk and help him into the back hall to murder him.Seeing the general's anger, a certain person must be implicated by a certain person, so they surrendered.Zhao Yun pretended to be happy, bought wine and drank with them.The two were very drunk, Yun Nai tied him in the tent, captured his subordinates and questioned them.The result is a false surrender.Yun called five hundred soldiers, each with wine and food, and sent an order saying: "Those who want to harm me are Chen Ying and Bao Long; don't do anything about everyone."You will all be rewarded for listening to my plan.All the troops thanked them, and the generals Chen and Bao were beheaded at that time; but they taught 500 troops to lead the way, and Yun led 1000 troops behind them, and they went to the city of Guiyang overnight to call the door.When the city listened to it, it was said that Generals Chen and Bao had killed Zhao Yun and returned to the army, and asked the eunuch to discuss matters.The city will take care of the fire, and it turns out that it is his own army horse.Zhao Fan hurried out of the city.Yun drink left and right to catch.Then he entered the city, and it was decided to appease the people, and he flew to report to Xuande. Xuande and Kong Ming went to Guiyang in person.Yun welcomes him into the city and pushes Zhao Fan down the steps.Kongming asked, Fan Bei said that he promised to marry his sister-in-law.Kongming called Yun and said: This is also a beautiful thing, why is it so?Yun said: "Zhao Fanzhao became brothers with a certain person. If he marries his sister-in-law today, it will be reviled by others, one thing; his wife remarries, which will make him lose his integrity, two things; Zhao Fan's first surrender, his heart is unpredictable, three things."The lord is newly settled in Jiang and Han, and the bed is not yet settled. Yunan dares to use a woman to dethrone the lord?Xuande said: "Today's event has been decided. How about marrying him with you?"Yun said: There are many women in the world, but they are afraid of losing their reputation, so why worry about not having a wife?Xuande said: "Zilong's real husband is also!"Then Zhao Fan was released, and he was still ordered to be the prefect of Guiyang, and Zhao Yun was rewarded heavily. Zhang Fei yelled, "Pian Zilong has done a good job!"I am a useless person!Just send 3000 troops to take Wuling County with me, and capture the eunuch Jinxuan alive to offer!Kongming said with great joy, "it's okay for Yide to go, but there is one thing to depend on."It is exactly: the military division wins a decisive victory with many unique strategies, and the soldiers strive to be the first to make military exploits.I don't know what Kong Ming said. Let's see the breakdown below.
