Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Mr. Yidu is now a heavy minister under Liu Jingzhou's account, and he can also be regarded as fulfilling his wish for Guangzong Yaozu!"

Kuai Yue nodded. He took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands, "This is an autograph letter sent by the lord of my family to the general."

Chen Lang finally opened the letter, took out the silk and silk, opened the envelope and looked at it again, and said with a smile: "Why is Liu Jingzhou so polite! Liu Jingzhou is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch!" It turned out that Liu Biao was extremely humble in the letter. Respectful things, that's why Chen Lang said.

Kuai Yue presented a gift list and said, "This is my paternal master's little heart for the general!"

Chen Lang took the gift list and read it again. Naturally, all the treasures of Jinzhu were listed, and there were fifty beautiful ****.

Chen Lang smiled and handed the gift form to Chen Gong, who was standing beside him.

Kuai Yue looked hopeful and authentic: "My father-in-law and the people of Jingchu look forward to the king's master like a long dry forest and look forward to the rain. I don't know when the general will send his troops to the south?"

Chen Lang said: "The dispatch of troops is not a trivial matter. I still need to report to your Majesty and discuss it with the people."

Kuai Yue was anxious in his heart, but did not reveal anything on his face. He smiled and clasped his fists and said, "This is as it should be. I will wait for the good news from the general!" Chen Lang nodded and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, for you I greet Mr. Yidu to stay in the guest house!" Chen Gong held his fist and promised Kuai Yue to go. Kuai Yue bowed to Chen Lang and followed Chen Gong down. Chen Lang looked at Kuai Yue's back with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Later that day, Chen Gong returned to the General's Mansion and saw Chen Lang. He smiled and said, "That Kuai Yue, he is always playing my words along the way!"

Chen Lang asked with a smile: "What did he ask?"

"The people's livelihood, the size of the army, this guy wants to know."

Chen Lang thought for a while and asked; "What does the public station think he wants to do?"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "I am afraid that our strength is beyond their imagination. Once we go south to Jingzhou, it will be like bringing a wolf into the house and being unable to clean it up!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Presumably the public platform has relieved him." Chen Gong nodded.

Chen Lang thought: "We hope Liu Biao can take the initiative to ask us for help. Liu Biao finally did so, but it saved us a lot. However, judging from the current situation, we can only mobilize 50,000 troops at most. It should be. Is it enough?"

Chen Gong said, "I just asked Kuai Yue how many soldiers and horses there are in Jingzhou..."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "How can he tell the truth!"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "The lord is wise! Kuai Yue wanted to sloppy with me at the beginning, saying that they still have 300,000 troops in Jingzhou, but after I repeatedly asked him, he finally told the truth. There are currently 20 navy forces in Jingzhou. There are hundreds of thousands of militiamen forcibly recruited."

Chen Lang said: "This kind of forcibly conscripted militia is useless. Jingzhou's soldiers and horses can only be counted as 200,000." Chen Gong nodded and continued: "And Jiangdong Army, according to our intelligence, their The total force may have reached nearly 400,000 at present." Chen Lang thought: "Jiangdong Army has won several consecutive victories and captured 60,000 to 70,000 Jingzhou Army. These soldiers and horses must have been surrendered by Zhou Yu. The occupation of Jiang Xia ordered it. Having obtained one-third of Jingzhou’s money and food reserves, the Sun’s father and son’s heart will inevitably be used to recruit troops to expand the army! The government’s statement that the Jiangdong Army is now close to 400,000 may be a conservative statement!" Chen Gong smiled and said: "The Lord is wise! "

Chen Lang patted his head and frowned: "This battle is not easy to fight! Not only is there a huge gap in the strength of the two sides, but we and the Jingzhou Army are afraid it will be difficult to cooperate perfectly!..."

Chen Gong said: "According to Kuai Yue, Liu Biao deliberately allows the general sent by our side to command the battle with full authority!"

Chen Lang was a little surprised, and said: "I didn't expect Liu Biao to have such a mind." Then he smiled: "He must know that we can't command his Jingzhou army to harm him." Chen Gong nodded and said: "The Lord's Office The words are extremely true!"

Dianwei suddenly led in a messenger who was a servant of the wind and dust, and the urn sounded in an earnest manner: "Master, Mr. Jia Xu has sent someone here." The messenger immediately bowed: "The villain sees the master!"

Chen Lang asked: "What's the matter with Wenhe?"

The messenger said: "Mr. Jia Xu asked me to report to the lord, Ma Tenghan sent an emissary for help on his way to Luoyang."

auzw.com Chen Lang frowned and said, "Ma Teng Han Sui's emissary for help? Did Dong Zhuo attack them again?"

The messenger clasped his fist and said: "According to our detailed report and the secret envoy's statement, Dong Zhuo launched another attack on Ma Tenghan not long ago, and Ma Tenghan is in critical condition!"

Chen Lang said, "You go back to Wenhe, and you just say I know." The messenger clasped his fists and promised to retreat.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Lang shouted suddenly. The messenger stopped, clasped his fists and asked, "What else does the lord have to order?"

Chen Lang said: "You go back and tell Wenhe, and tell him to come back immediately." The transmission officer clasped his fists and retreated.

Chen Lang frowned and said, "I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to launch an attack at this time!" Chen Gong clasped his fist and said, "Master, now it is the key to defeating the Sun family's plot against Jingzhou! Ma Teng Han Sui can let him go first." Chen Lang Frowned and said: "I am worried that Ma Tenghan can persist until we solve the problem in Jingzhou?"

Chen Gong said, "Ma Teng Han Sui is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has fought with Dong Zhuo for so long before. It should be impossible for Dong Zhuo to eliminate them in a short time! Even if Ma Teng Han can't resist it, he can take a million steps back. To live, we must also solve the problem of Jingzhou first, because compared to being completely controlled by Dong Zhuo in the northwest, it is more unfavorable for us to let the Sun family control Jingzhou!" Chen Lang smiled and nodded.

The next day, Chen Lang summoned Kuai Yue to explain his plan to raise 50,000 troops to go south. Kuai Yue quickly thanked him, and then asked: "I don't know when the general decided to raise troops?" Chen Lang said, "In two days." Kuai Yue Immediately clasped his fists and said, "Well, then go with Master Wang!" Chen Lang nodded. Kuai Yue pleaded: "General, according to the court's rituals, you should meet your majesty when you enter Beijing. I don't know what the general will say?" Chen Lang smiled and said, "It should be. You can visit today." Kuai Yue He promised, then bid farewell to Chen Lang and left the general's mansion.

Later that day, Kuai Yue came to the gate of the palace and begged to see the emperor. The guard at the gate immediately notified him to enter, and soon the emperor's holy order was passed down, summoning Kuai Yue to meet in the study. Kuai Yue straightened his dress and bowed into the palace.

Kuai Yue led down to the study room of the imperial palace under the guidance of the servant, and saw a seven or eight-year-old child wearing a dragon gown and a golden crown sitting on the head. He immediately went to pay respects: "Foreign Minister Kuai Yue pays homage to your majesty the emperor! Long live your majesty! Long live!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Aiqing is flat!" Kuai Yue thanked him and stood up, standing with his hands down.

The emperor got up and walked in front of Kuai Yue, smiling: "I've heard of the reputation of Jingzhou Kuaiyidu a long time ago, and it is indeed a well-deserved reputation today!"

Kuai Yue only felt flattered, and said, "Your Majesty is absurd!"

The emperor paused and asked, "How is my uncle Liu Biao's health?"

"Return to your Majesty, although Lord Liu is very old, he is still in good health."

The emperor nodded, frowning and said: "I heard that Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou openly and did not listen to the court's mediation. It is really a rebellious face from the heart of tiger and wolf!"

Kuai Yue Shen nodded in sympathy, and said: "Since Sun Jian has been given the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, he has developed a rebellious heart. Although he has not yet become the emperor, his character is no different from that of Yuan Shu. "

The emperor held the palm of Kuai Yue's hand and said earnestly and earnestly: "I and Uncle Liu Biao are both of Han descent, and this big man has to rely on Uncle Liu Biao to bother a lot!"

Some strange feelings arose in Kuai Yue's heart, always feeling that there was something in the emperor's words. These thoughts only flashed in my heart, and he bowed and said, "Master Liu is always worried about the future of the big guy, and I can't sleep at night!"

The emperor frowned and said: "There are many lords in the chaos today, but I am afraid that the only ones who can really contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty are my uncles!" He glanced at Kuai Yue and asked: "I don't know what Emperor Liu Biao is about. What is the opinion of General Qi?" Kuai Yue's thoughts turned, clasped his fist and said: "Master Liu thinks General Huqi is the mainstay of Kuang and helps the Han family in distress, and the hope of Han Zhongxing!"

The emperor frowned slightly and nodded. Turned around and walked to the book case, took a jade belt back to Kuai Yue, handed the jade belt to him, and said, "Uncle Liu Biao, as my elder, has always wanted to visit him. Then, please bring this jade belt back to Uncle Liu Biao to show my feelings as a junior!" Kuai Yue took the jade belt with both hands and bowed his promise. The emperor said: "Well, the older Kuaigui people can walk all the way, I won't send you off!" Kuaiyue quickly bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he bowed and retreated.

The emperor looked at the door with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Two days later, Chen Lang led Zhao Yun and Xu Huang with 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Kuai Yue, who was the envoy of Liu Biao, accompanied him.

The army went all the way south, crossed Luoshui, from the western side of Xuanyuan Mountain out of Gyeonggi area, arrived at the northernmost town of Jingzhou Wancheng, and then along the Luoshui all the way south, via Xinye, across the Xiangjiang River to Jingzhou. Liu Biao got the news early and personally led the army and the army to greet him. Seeing Chen Lang, he clasped his fists with joy and said, "The general is coming, Jingzhou Pengxun is shining!"

Chen Lang got off his horse, replied with a salute, and said with a smile, "Master Liu is polite!"

Liu Biao asked: "The general, please come in, I have prepared a banquet for the general to take care of the dust."

Chen Lang clasped his fists and smiled and said, "I have Mrs. Liu!" Then the group entered Jingzhou City under the guidance of Liu Biao and others, while the fifty thousand troops brought by Chen Lang were stationed outside the city, with their own Jingzhou officials. Wine and meat served them heavily. The supplies of the wine and meat were prepared long before the Ying Yang army arrived.
