"General Wen Pin. I have brought two generals with me to Sanjiangkou. I hope you can!" Zhuge Liang cupped his fist and said to Wen Pin.
"Two generals!" Wen Pin looked at the two generals behind Zhuge Liang. He had already noticed them. They had been following behind Zhuge Liang for a long time. Their martial arts were not weak. Their eyes were shining. They should be capable people! How could Wen Pin not understand Zhuge Liang's words? He brought two generals with him. He wants me to! Of course, he wants the military power! Although Liu Biao had sent Zhuge Liang to be the military advisor and supervisor, the military power was still in Wen Pin's hands. Therefore, Zhuge Liang still needs the military power!
If not for what happened before, Wen Pin would not give Zhuge Liang the military power. Even if Zhuge Liang wanted it, he would just give it to Zhuge Liang. However, it was different now. Zhuge Liang's knowledge shocked Wen Pin. Therefore, although Wen Pin frowned, he still agreed with a smile. "No problem! Two generals, I will allocate 10,000 troops to your command! " The reason why Wen Pin was so generous was because these 10,000 troops were not Wen Pin's direct subordinates. Wen Pin's direct subordinates were the remaining 40,000 troops. 10,000 of them had already died in battle! The 10,000 troops that Wen Pin gave Zhuge Liang were the 10,000 troops that Huang Zu left behind when he left. These Jiangxia Navy were already feeling bad when their hometown was occupied by the Jiangdong Army. Their morale was very low. They hoped that Huang Zu and the Jingzhou Army could drive Sun Ce away! However, after fighting for so long, they seemed to have returned to the starting point. Huang Zu felt that Jiang Xia was no longer valuable. Therefore, he wanted to leave. However, he still felt guilty towards the Jiangxia Navy!
He also knew that even if he took the Jiangxia Navy with him, they would not be willing. Instead of causing a mutiny, it was better to just throw them to Wen Pin. This way, he could still leave a favor. After all, Wen Pin was now the favorite person of his Lord, Liu Biao. Just like Huang Zu in the past, at that time, Huang Zu was really in the limelight. He could be said to be the number one general of Jingzhou. He controlled all the troops in Jingzhou. Even Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had to call him General Huang. When he killed Changsha's Sun Jian, he had reached the peak. But now, Huang Zu was old. Their Huang Family had lost their Jiang Xia title. They no longer had the same spirit as before. Therefore, he learned from Cai Mao and the others. He no longer looked for a sense of presence on the battlefield. Instead, he went to invite people to help him. Wen Pin was the first person that Huang Zu invited. Both of them were generals. Although Wen Pin did not like Huang Zu, he had to admit that this Jiangxia Navy was not even warm in his hands. Thus, Wen Pin directly threw it to Zhuge Liang as a favor.
"Quickly thank General Wen Pin!" Zhuge Liang said to the two people behind him. Zhuge Liang did not expect Wen Pin to be so straightforward. He thought that he would have to bargain with Wen Pin. Originally, Zhuge Liang's minimum requirement was three thousand men.
However, he did not expect that Wen Pin would actually give him ten thousand men. This can be considered as an unexpected surprise. Therefore, Zhuge Liang asked the two people behind him to thank him.
"General Huo Jun and General Li Yan thank General Wen Pin for promoting us!" The two people behind Zhuge Liang also stood up and cupped their fists towards Wen Pin.
"Dispense with the formalities! You are the Military Advisor's people. Naturally, you are also the elites of Jingzhou. Similarly, you are also working for Milord. If you want to thank someone, thank Milord and work harder for Jingzhou! " Wen Pin was not a person who did not understand anything. Otherwise, he would not have been placed in an important position by Liu Biao.
Huo Jun, also known as Zhongmiao, was from Zhijiang in Nanjun. His brother, Huo Du, once gathered hundreds of troops in his hometown. After Huo Du passed away, Liu Biao let Huo Jun inherit his troops. This Huo Jun was actually a small colonel under Liu Biao. He only had a few hundred subordinates and most of them were private soldiers. He could not be placed in an important position by Liu Biao. The reason why Zhuge Liang looked at this person was because although Huo Jun's troops were small, the hundreds of subordinates under him were all elite soldiers. When Zhuge Liang and Huo Jun were answering questions, this Huo Jun was also good at answering questions. In some places, he was even better than Zhuge Liang.
Li Yan later changed his name to Li Ping, also known as Zhengfang. He was also half of Zhuge Liang's hometown. The reason why it was half was because Zhuge Liang's second hometown was Nanyang. His first hometown was Langye in Xuzhou. Li Yan was a full-time official in the county. He was famous for his talent. This person was very talented but he could not find someone who could really use him. Now that Zhuge Liang was working under Liu Biao and he was going to Jiangxia to be the military advisor, he naturally needed his own confidants. Otherwise, who would pay attention to a military advisor who had no military power and no one to help him? In the end, he was just a decoration. These two people were Zhuge Liang's confidants. They could be considered as his left and right arms. Huo Jun was good at defense and Li Yan was good at offense. The two of them complemented each other. Moreover, the three of them were about the same age. Therefore, they had a common language. They were the first step for Zhuge Liang to take control of the military power in Jingzhou.
After the banquet, Zhuge Liang did not immediately go back to rest. Instead, he went to the main camp. That was where Wen Pin's ten thousand troops were. When he arrived at the main camp, Zhuge Liang found out that Wen Pin had given him the mourning troops of the Jiangxia Army.
The Jiangxia Army was really pitiful. Their hometown was occupied by the enemy. They had just taken it back, but it was destroyed. Now, even their commander did not want them. Huang Zu went to Lingling. The ten thousand Jiangxia Navy was no longer loved by their father and grandmother. Their morale was very low. Moreover, they felt an inexplicable fear when facing the Jiangdong Navy. They were used to being beaten by cowards. No wonder Wen Pin was so straightforward.
However, this was already very good. Zhuge Liang took a deep breath. Since they did not want you, then you will become my first troop. Mourning troops! Mourning troops were weak and their morale was not good. However, once a person's fear reached the extreme, there were only two results. One was death, and the other was exploding. Zhuge Liang did not need many of these ten thousand men. If a third of them could explode, then they could become trump cards. Moreover, they were fighting in Jiangxia. They were fighting for Jiangxia. Moreover, Jiangxia was the home of the Jiangxia Navy. This kind of responsibility would make it easier for these Jiangxia soldiers to submit. "Zhong Miao, Zhengfang, I will leave this place to the two of you. Each of you will lead five thousand troops. Zhong Miao will be the commander and you will be the deputy. I will give you two days. After two days, I want to see a different Jiangxia Navy. "Huo Jun was a calm person. Therefore, he was more suitable to be the commander.
"Yes, Military Advisor. We will not disappoint Military Advisor. "The two of them were very grateful to Zhuge Liang. If it was not for Zhuge Liang, one of them would be a military officer and the other a county officer. It was Zhuge Liang who used them. Five thousand troops! Since when had they ever commanded so many people!
"I hope so." Even if the two of them could not turn the Jiangxia Navy into a trump card, Zhuge Liang had another plan to take control of Wen Pin's navy. However, at that time, his table manners would not be good. Jiangdong's Sun Ce! Jiangdong's beautiful Zhou Lang! I, Zhuge Liang, am coming!
Crouching Dragon has come out! There was no reason for Young Phoenix to hide in Jingzhou. That's right. Young Phoenix Pang Tong, this black fatty, had taken a fancy to Runan's Lord Liu. Compared to Zhuge Liang, Young Phoenix Pang Tong's origin was much bigger. He was Pang Degong's nephew. Pang Degong's Pang Family was also a big family in Jingzhou. Pang Tong was born in a scholarly family. Therefore, his knowledge was very high. However, Pang Tong's appearance was not very good. He was dark, fat, and very short. Therefore, he always had a low self-esteem. However, his talent was there. Ordinary people could not be compared to him. Even some scholars and sages were not his opponents. With the cover of his talent, he slowly walked out of his inferiority complex. That was until he met a person. That person was Zhuge Liang, the military advisor in Jingzhou. This person came to Jingzhou to seek refuge. However, he also became Master Shui Jing's disciple. Although Pang Tong said that he was not weaker than Zhuge Liang, he knew that he was not as strong as Zhuge Liang. Both of them were at the same level. However, in terms of appearance, Pang Tong was left behind by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was recognized as one of the most handsome men in Jingzhou. He could be considered as tall, rich, and handsome. However, compared to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong was short and poor. The sense of inferiority that was faintly disappearing once again appeared in his heart. Therefore, in Jingzhou, when Master Shui Jing sat down to study, Pang Tong would always find trouble with Zhuge Liang. He would always ask Master Shui Jing what he thought. His competitive spirit was too strong. What about Zhuge Liang? His face was indifferent. He still had feelings for Pang Tong. Moreover, both of them were people with high IQ. Therefore, it was easy to get along with each other. Zhuge Liang was older than Pang Tong. Therefore, he had always treated Pang Tong as a younger brother. He was indifferent to Pang Tong's competitive spirit. Sometimes, he would even give in to Pang Tong. However, the more it was like this, the more uncomfortable Pang Tong felt.
If Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were to compete, or even humiliate Pang Tong, Pang Tong would not feel so uncomfortable. However, Zhuge Liang tolerated and retreated time and time again. This made Pang Tong feel uncomfortable. Pang Tong thought that Zhuge Liang was pitying him. How could Pang Tong accept this? Therefore, this time, Pang Tong chose Escapist Liu. He wanted to make a bet with Zhuge Liang. The loser would become the servant of the loser. Zhuge Liang, who had always ignored Pang Tong's provocation, accepted the challenge. This made Pang Tong awestruck.
In the original historical track, after Pang Tong joined Escapist Liu's formation, he and Zhuge Liang served as the military advisor. How could there be two military advisors in one army? This was Zhuge Liang's forbearance. Later, in order to show that he was stronger than Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong gave Escapist Liu three strategies to capture Sichuan. Originally, Escapist Liu listened to the second strategy. Pang Tong should be happy. However, Pang Tong wanted to personally help Escapist Liu capture the city to show that he was stronger than Zhuge Liang. In the end, he was shot to death by arrows on Luofeng Slope. Being competitive and aggressive was the death of others!
In this life, Pang Tong once again chose Escapist Liu. This time, Escapist Liu did not have Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang by his side. Pang Tong could be considered as the chief strategist. Pang Tong enjoyed the feeling of being valued by Liu Bei. This made Pang Tong feel that he was number one.
"Mister, I don't know what to do next." Escapist Liu's eyes shined as he looked at the black fatty Pang Tong. This person was really a great talent. He had only joined Liu Bei's army for a few days, but he had already brought a lot of strategies to Escapist Liu. The first one was to send a messenger to Wancheng to express goodwill to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu occupied Wancheng. Although Wancheng belonged to Jingzhou, it was closer to Yuzhou. And Escapist Liu's Runan was just below Wancheng. Runan had a total of four neighbors. One was Lujiang's Lvbu's Army. Lü Bu had schemed against Escapist Liu and robbed Escapist Liu's Xuzhou. Escapist Liu had also schemed against Lü Bu and almost took Lü Bu's life. In the original track, Escapist Liu had asked Cao Cao if Meng De still remembered Lü Bu and directly made Boss Lu withdraw from the stage of the Great Han Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Bei's Army and Lvbu's Army had no room to reconcile. Both armies had shed all pretense of cordiality. Fortunately, Liu Mang was in Hefei. If Boss Lu was here, he would have fought Escapist Liu to the death.
If he did not kill Escapist Liu, Boss Lu would not withdraw his army. This was not a good thing for Liu Bei and the Lvbu's Army. Therefore, Chen Gong let Liu Mang go out to expand the territory. Liu Mang and Escapist Liu did not have a big grudge, so he would not act rashly.
The second neighbor was Cao Cao, Cao Mengde. He was also an enemy. Even Escapist Liu had a declaration of war in his hands. It was given to him by the Emperor of Han in Xudu. Escapist Liu had cheated Boss Cao. Boss Cao believed in him. Originally, Guo Jia and others suggested to Lao Cao to kill Escapist Liu because this person was not a peaceful person. However, Boss Cao stood his ground and believed that Brother Lao Cao was a good person, a very good person.
Cao Cao even drank wine with Liu Bei to discuss heroes, right and wrong, success and failure. He knew that Liu Bei was not a peaceful person. However, in order to show his trust, Lao Cao still gave Liu Bei 20,000 Qingzhou elites. Even if Lao Cao's own troops were not full, Lao Cao still gave Escapist Liu food.
However, this was how he treated such a good friend. In the end, Escapist Liu sold him out. He directly burned the bridge after crossing the river and killed Lao Cao's general Che Zhou. He occupied Xuzhou and threatened Lao Cao's hinterland. Lao Cao could not tolerate such a traitor and directly drove Escapist Liu out of Xuzhou. If it was not for Hebei Yuan Shao, Lao Cao would have chased Escapist Liu to the ends of the earth. Therefore, it was impossible for Liu Bei and Cao Cao to have any relationship. It was already a good thing that the two of them did not go to war. Lao Cao was not at ease with Escapist Liu. He left Cao Ren in Wuping Yingchuan who was good at defending the city. In addition, Xun Yu was also in Xudu. He was afraid that Escapist Liu would stab him in the ass.
The third one was Jingzhou Liu Biao. Although Jingzhou Liu Biao and Escapist Liu were both relatives of the Han dynasty, Liu Biao looked down on Escapist Liu. He also did not have a good impression of Escapist Liu. This could be seen from the fact that Escapist Liu sought refuge in Jingzhou and Liu Biao only gave him a small city in Xinye. Liu Biao's impression of Escapist Liu, who had the same surname as him, was that he was a hoodlum who cheated for food and drink. He might even kill you.
In fact, Escapist Liu also had a nickname called Boss Killer. He specialized in deceiving his own boss. He first sought refuge with his teacher Lu Zhi. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Zhi was slandered by the Little Yellow Sect because he did not give any bribes. As a result, Lu Zhi was arrested and sent to Luoyang. If Escapist Liu had a conscience, he should have gone to see his teacher. But Escapist Liu! In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he said that he was sick. Another disciple, Gongsun Zan, also went to see his teacher with injuries.
Liu Bei's second boss was Gongsun Zan. When this fellow disciple saw that his fellow disciple was so miserable, he specially ordered his own troops in Qingzhou to send food and soldiers to Liu Bei. But how did Liu Bei treat his fellow disciple? That is, Liu Bei was desperately trying to climb up to the corner of the wall! Tian Kai and Zhao Yun were both Escapist Liu's people. Perhaps Zhao Yun was not deeply involved in the world, but he was also a good person. Therefore, he still had fantasies about Escapist Liu.
Tian Kai was much smarter. He also knew a lot about human affairs. His face was full of disdain toward his lord's junior brother. Finally, Gongsun Zan was defeated. He hoped that Escapist Liu would send troops to help him. But Escapist Liu said that he did not have enough provisions and was unable to send troops. The second boss, Gongsun Zan, also died.
The third boss was Tao Qian. He was full of hope to hand over Xuzhou to Escapist Liu. He wanted Escapist Liu to take care of his two sons. But what about Escapist Liu? In addition to playing along at the beginning, you will find that the Tao brothers disappeared in history. As for where they went, you can imagine it yourself.
The fourth boss was Boss Lu. He directly drove Boss Lu out of Xuzhou. If it was not for the appearance of Liu Mang, he would be a lonely ghost under the White Gate Tower.
The fifth boss was Boss Cao. Boss Cao trusted him so much. He gave him the elite troops and called him brother. He even drank wine with him and talked about heroes. But what did Escapist Liu do to Boss Cao? He caught Boss Cao off guard and directly killed Che Wei who served him. He took Che Wei's troops and prepared to stand on his own. He also said that he was killing a rebel. Boss Cao almost vomited blood and died from anger.
In the original history, there was another boss, Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's life was even more miserable. Because of Liu Bei's words, his two generals were beheaded by Guan Yu. One must know that Yan Liang and Wen Chou's strength was not weak. The two of them were Hebei's four pillars. To be able to dominate Hebei, their strength was absolutely first-class. Even Zhao Yun and these two people fought to a draw. But Guan Yu! Even a fool would be able to tell that there was something wrong with the way he killed the two of them with a single slash!
Liu Biao disdained Liu Bei. Cao Cao gnashed his teeth at Liu Bei. Lü Bu wanted to directly behead Liu Bei. There was only one person left. In Wan City, Zhang Xiu was the only one who did not have hatred with Liu Bei. Moreover, Zhang Xiu's strength was not weak. He had nearly twenty thousand Xiliang Cavalry and ten thousand infantry. This kind of strength could not help but make Escapist Liu drool with envy.
Therefore, Pang Tong's first strategy for Escapist Liu was to build a good relationship with Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu was a martial artist. Martial artists like nothing more than two things. One is women and the other is money. Although Escapist Liu had a white jade wife, he could not openly give her away. Thus, he could only give her money. Escapist Liu's savings were not small. It should be said that Liu Pi's savings were not small. Once a Yellow Turban Thief occupied a place, he would naturally burn, kill, rob, and abuse. The first ones to be shot were naturally the nobles. The nobles of Yu Province were very rich. After all, Yuan Clan and Yang Clan had appeared here before. These two clans were the Three Dukes of the Fourth Generation. Their family's savings were all swept clean. Therefore, when Liu Pi had money, Escapist Liu also had money. It was Escapist Liu who wanted to appease Liu Pi. He added Liu Pi to the Peach Brothers and made Liu Pi the fourth brother.
Escapist Liu was very willing to give Zhang Xiu five hundred gold the first time. The second time was one thousand gold and the third time was two thousand gold. This was the fourth time and the fourth time was four thousand gold. Although Escapist Liu was very distressed, money couldn't buy anything right now! It was impossible for the Lvbu's Army and Cao Cao's Army to sell him things.
Liu Biao did not even have enough time to use himself. Why would he sell to him? Therefore, these gold could only look good. Fortunately, Liu Pi was a Yellow Turban Thief and was afraid of starvation. In Runan, there was a lot of provisions. Escapist Liu did not need to buy provisions. Moreover, the summer provisions were also harvested. Therefore, the provisions in Runan were very sufficient.
"This is the last time we will give gifts." Pang Tong said to his new lord with a smile "Milord, rest assured. The return we will get will definitely be several times more than these few thousand gold!" Pang Tong comforted Escapist Liu. In front of Pang Tong was four thousand gold. Shining white gold. Escapist Liu said that he was not distressed. Who would not be distressed? After a while, these gold would be sent to Wancheng.
This time it was four thousand gold. Last time it was two thousand gold. The next time it was one thousand and five hundred gold. Even if they were to buy war horses, they would be able to buy hundreds of them. But now, they were going to give it away to others.
"Let General Zhang Fei send it over." Pang Tong said to Escapist Liu with a smile. This Zhang Fei was not only skilled in martial arts but he also had an advantage. He was good at drinking. Drinking is the best way to bond. One must know that in China's five thousand years of history, many things were negotiated at the dinner table. Therefore, being able to drink was a skill. Pang Tong had already inquired about Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. He also knew that Hu Che Er loved to drink.
The four thousand gold was quickly carried by Zhang Xiu to the carriage. With Zhang Fei leading a thousand elite Qingzhou soldiers, no one would be able to kidnap them. There was no problem with safety. If you ask why Pang Tong wanted to give Zhang Xiu gold, there was no need to explain. Naturally, it was to bond with Zhang Xiu.
But to bond, there was no need to give so much. Runan's annual tax was only a few thousand gold. Pang Tong gave several times more. Then you must remember, if someone gives you something once, they will bond with you. That person is trying to build a relationship with you. But if they keep giving you gifts, unless they are your parents, this person must have some ulterior motive. It's just like two people in a relationship! Generally, if a boy wants to chase a girl. He will definitely give you something. At first, he will give you something to establish your relationship with you. When you are settled, he will still give you something. This time, he will give you more than before, and even heavier. There will also be flowery words. At this time, he wants to do it with you. Bed. If you agree, then you will find that his gifts will be much less. There may even be no gifts in the future. To sum it up, he wants you.
And Pang Tong is the same. He wanted Zhang Xiu as a person! No, no. He wants Zhang Xiu's coveted Xiliang Cavalry. You can think about it. It was Zhang Xiu's first time giving a gift, so he was very polite. Because he was not familiar with Liu Bei's Army, he did not do anything to receive a reward. Naturally, he would resist the gold sent by Liu Bei. Moreover, it was only five hundred gold. It was not much. He, Zhang Xiu, did not care at all. But Liu Bei insisted on giving. He did not ask for any benefits. He just wanted to build a relationship and invite you to drink.
If you can't refuse, Zhang Xiu will accept it. It is only five hundred gold. It is not much. If you accept it, then accept it. If you have a conflict with Liu Bei's Army, you can just return the five hundred gold. The war will still be fought. The hatred will still be the same.
If you accept the first gift, then the second gift will be much easier. Another thousand gold. This time, it was double the previous gift. Although a thousand gold is a bit much, it is only for ordinary people. It is also the same for ordinary families. But for such a warlord, it is not much. This time, you don't want to accept it because you are already wary. What does he want to do by giving me two gifts? Does he want me to send troops? Or does he want to form an alliance with me?
Zhang Xiu does not want to form an alliance with Liu Bei. To be honest, Zhang Xiu still has fantasies about Lao Cao. Although he killed Lao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, it is said that the Prime Minister's stomach can take a boat. This was the brainwashing of Zhang Xiu by Jia Xu from the beginning, and Escapist Liu's reputation was also not good! There are not many benefits to forming an alliance with Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei has forty thousand troops and twenty thousand elites, they are all infantrymen. Zhang Xiu does not put them in his eyes. But wine is a good thing. This thing can build a relationship. At the same time, it can also numb your senses. Zhang Xiu's rationality told him that he could not accept the money, but the alcohol had magnified his greed. Pang Tong had also sent Jian Yong to praise Zhang Xiu. In the end, Jian Yong had said that Pang Tong admired General Zhang Xiu very much. This thousand gold was the money to buy the wine. Zhang Xiu had accepted it in a daze.
The third time, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong came again. This time, it was two thousand gold. Zhang Xiu was a bit moved. Adding the previous gift, it was three thousand five hundred gold. Three thousand five hundred gold is not a small amount. It is enough for Zhang Xiu to pay his soldiers.
The most important thing is that the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Jingzhou's Liu Biao is not very good. Jingzhou's Liu Biao is now in a fight with Jiangdong's Navy. All kinds of supplies are needed to support the front line. He does not even have enough time to use them. How can he give them to Zhang Xiu? What is the purpose of Liu Biao raising Zhang Xiu? It is because he wants a dog that can bite to help him block Lao Cao's attack on Jingzhou. He wants to give Jingzhou a pure land.
So in the past, Zhang Xiu was given whatever he wanted. Food, armor, and even weapons were provided by Jingzhou. Liu Biao only wanted Zhang Xiu to block Jingzhou's entrance. In any case, Liu Biao is not afraid of raising Zhang Xiu to fatten him up. This is because Zhang Xiu has a lot of cavalry. Cavalry may be strong in the wilderness, but on water, they are a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Most of Jingzhou is on the other side of the Yangtze River, so Liu Biao is not afraid.
However, not long ago, this traitor Zhang Xiu almost made Liu Biao's lungs explode. This is because this traitor wants to subdue Cao Cao. One must know that Liu Biao has given Zhang Xiu a lot of supplies over the years. If one were to calculate properly, they would be able to form a 50,000-man army. Moreover, this army would be fully equipped and equipped with good weapons. In addition to the provisions, it would not be a problem for a 100,000-man army to fight a battle!
However, Zhang Xiu wants to surrender to Cao Cao. This way, this dog that Liu Biao raised will turn around and bite him. Zhang Xiu is not afraid of Liu Biao, but Liu Biao is really afraid of Cao Cao. Just like how Cao Cao is afraid of Lü Bu, Liu Biao is afraid of Cao Cao. He does not dare to go against Cao Cao. In the original timeline, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are fighting fiercely, Liu Biao does not dare to attack Cao Cao's rear. He is afraid that Cao Cao will settle the score with him later.
Now that Zhang Xiu wants to surrender to Cao Cao, Liu Biao is panicking. But fortunately, Liu Biao is lucky. Lao Cao's wife is good and perverted, but he did not know that there is a knife above the word 'perverted'. He has settled Zhang Xiu's aunt, Madam Zhou. This Madam Zhou is the wife of Zhang Xiu's uncle, Zhang Ji. And Zhang Xiu's closest relative is Zhang Ji. It was Zhang Ji who brought Zhang Xiu out to build a career for him. It was also Uncle Zhang Ji who gave up Guanzhong for Zhang Xiu because Zhang Xiu offended Li Gui and Guo Si. It can be said that Uncle Zhang Ji is Zhang Xiu's father. Even Zhang Xiu's biological father is not as good as him. Now that his biological father's most beloved wife is sleeping with someone else, what should he do? This feeling is even worse than being cuckolded. As a man, Zhang Xiu cannot bear it. Moreover, Zhang Xiu is a soldier of Xiliang. This kind of masculine man is much stronger than ordinary people, so Zhang Xiu rebelled. Even if the old poison Jia Xu tries to persuade Zhang Xiu again and again, she is just a woman. So be it! Zhang Xiu can even rely on this aunt to gain Lao Cao's trust. But Zhang Xiu can't listen to it, just like how Lü Bu can't help but want to kill Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Xiu stood up like a man.
First, he let Hu Che Er get Cao Cao's number one general, Dian Wei, drunk. Then, he let the Xiliang cavalry leave from the south gate and go to the north gate. As for Lao Cao? Because he subdued Zhang Xiu, he will get 20,000 Xiliang cavalry. He is very happy. There is also a delicate beauty waiting for him in bed. How can he pay attention to Zhang Xiu? So the whole Cao Jun is undefended.
Zhang Xiu's sneak attack was successful. Dian Wei died in battle. Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, died in battle. Cao Cao himself might have died in that battle if Cao Chun didn't give him a warhorse. In the end, less than 2,000 people escaped.
Whether it is Lao Cao's son being killed or Zhang Xiu's aunt being slept with, this is good news for Liu Biao. But this is also a lesson for Liu Biao. He knows that dogs, especially watchdogs, cannot be fed. They need to be starved, but not starved to death. So, after that incident, Liu Biao reduced the supply to Zhang Xiu. From money to weapons, everything is reduced by 80%. At that time, Zhang Xiu can only choose to endure because he has already offended Lao Cao. If he offended Liu Biao again, the loss will outweigh the gain. Moreover, the weapons on the second floor won't starve to death. Worst comes to worst, he can just rob some. Zhang Lu in the West has some money. Recently, he doesn't even have the two floors anymore. Especially after the battle between the Jingzhou Navy and Jiangdong Navy has reached a climax.
Jingzhou Liu Biao can't even make ends meet. Those warships and ballistae all cost money. Moreover, he had to pay a large sum of money to get those ballistae. But these are not important. If this is the case, Liu Biao will still allocate money to raise Zhang Xiu.
The most important thing is the Lvbu's Army's attitude. The Lvbu's Army gave up on the Yangtze River and went to Shouchun to take the Huai River. Who is the enemy there? Naturally, it is Lao Cao. With the Lvbu's Army at the front, it will definitely attract the attention of most of the Cao Cao. With the Lvbu's Army, why would he need Zhang Xiu? Therefore, although Zhang Xiu recently sent a messenger to Xiangyang to ask for money, Liu Biao ignored it and ignored it.
Moreover, Cao Cao is now fighting the Battle of Guandu. Regardless of the situation in Jingzhou, Liu Biao was very relieved. That dog will not starve to death even if it starves for a few years. So be it.
Zhang Xiu was very tired. Pang Tong saw Zhang Xiu's difficulties and came to give him gold. For the third time, Zhang Xiu was really moved. Three thousand five hundred gold. Now, there is no problem with provisions. After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu was convinced by Jian Yong. Jian Yong said that if General Zhang does not take these, it means he is looking down on our Lord. General Zhang is the hero who fought against Traitor Cao. He was talking about the matter of Zhang Xiu killing Cao Cao's eldest son. If he does not take it, it means he is looking down on Liu Biao. Therefore, Zhang Xiu thought highly of Liu Biao and took the two thousand gold.
This was already 3,500 gold coins. Giving another 4,000 gold coins and taking another 4,000 gold coins was not a big deal. With these 4,000 gold coins, Zhang Xiu could still squander them! This was what Zhang Xiu thought and did. His life had become a little better.
But he did not know that once he took the four thousand gold, Zhang Xiu will really be in Pang Tong's trap. This time, how did Liu Biao give Zhang Xiu money? The first time is five hundred gold. The second time is one thousand gold. The third time is two thousand gold. The fourth time is four thousand gold. This was a twofold increase! Then how much is the fifth time? That is eight thousand gold. Eight thousand gold! Not to mention Zhang Xiu, even the big feudal lords like Liu Biao and Cao Cao cannot help but want to send troops to rob!
How many soldiers and horses can be raised with eight thousand gold? How many things can be done and how many people can be rewarded with eight thousand gold? Buying army provisions can buy tens of thousands of dan.
Zhang Xiu must be looking forward to this kind of eight thousand gold being sent to his mansion! Wait for the fifth time! This time, although Pang Tong sent an envoy, it was not to send the gold. It was to ask for the reward! He sent a few people with injuries and faces full of panic. They ran to Zhang Xiu's Wan City and told him that the eight thousand gold that their lord Liu Biao wanted to give Zhang Xiu was already on the way. However, on the way, a group of bandits suddenly appeared. These bandits directly robbed the gold and killed them. It was not easy for them to escape!
Such a scene suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Xiu. What do you think Zhang Xiu will think? Zhang Xiu must have subconsciously treated this eight thousand gold as his own wealth. If you were robbed of eight thousand gold and converted to the current gold price, you would have lost a lot of money. Eight thousand jin multiplied by five hundred grams is four million grams. If we calculate the current price of one gram of gold as three hundred yuan, it will be 1.2 billion! 1.2 billion ah, 1.2 billion ah. What would your first reaction be if you were robbed of 1.2 billion? You must find out who robbed you. This daddy will rob you back! You must even find the robber to settle the account!
When the time comes, how many people around here have the strength to rob you of this gold? Jingzhou's Liu Biao? He is busy fighting with Sun Ce. He has no time! Liu Bei himself? How is that possible! He robbed himself! He is an idiot! There is also the superior Zhang Lu. However, Zhang Lu has always been robbed by Zhang Xiu! How is it possible for him to rob Zhang Xiu? If Zhang Xiu doesn't come, he will burn incense and pray to Buddha!
The only one left is the Lvbu's Army in Lujiang! If Liu Bei's Army added fuel to the fire and said that the other party had cavalry, then Zhang Xiu is 100% sure that the enemy is the Lvbu's Army. One must know that the Xiliang Cavalry and Lü Bu's Pengzhou Army are not on good terms. This can be seen from the fact that they were under Dong Zhuo's command. Even Zhang Xiu's cheap uncle had a conflict with Lü Bu! At that time, Zhang Xiu was young and impetuous. He was not convinced by Lü Bu's title of the world's number one war god and wanted to challenge Lü Bu. However, he was taught a lesson by Lü Bu!
Now, Lü Bu actually came to rob Zhang Xiu of his money! How is it possible for Zhang Xiu to hold back! If you dare to rob me, then I will rob you! Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is not a match for the Xiliang Cavalry. However, Zhang Xiu has 20,000 Xiliang Cavalry and Lü Bu! He only has 5,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry! If he can't win again and again, Zhang Xiu can live in seclusion and retire! As long as Zhang Xiu sends his troops to attack the Lvbu's Army's city or plunder the Lvbu's Army's ordnance! With Lü Bu's character, he will not hold back! Absolutely not! Liu Bei Bei and Lü Bu have been dealing with each other for many years. Naturally, he knows Lü Bu's character! Zhang Xiu and Lü Bu are both hot-tempered! When the two of them started fighting, Liu Bei would naturally be the one with the most power. Unknowingly, the 20,000 Xiliang Cavalry will be used by Liu Bei's Army! When the time comes, Liu Bei will go and form an alliance with Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu's 20,000 Xiliang Cavalry and Liu Bei Bei's 40,000 infantry. With 60,000 troops, it is enough to sweep Yuzhou and half of Yangzhou. When the time comes, even if Zhang Xiu is not willing, he will still board Liu Bei's warship!
Now, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are fighting a decisive battle in Guandu! Liu Biao and Jiangdong Sun Ce are fighting a life and death battle. It can be said that the entire Central Plains is Liu Bei, Lü Bu and Zhang Xiu's stage. Liu Bei alone does not have the confidence to deal with the Lvbu's Army. However, with Zhang Xiu, it is much better. The 5,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that is the biggest threat is being delayed by the 20,000 Xiliang Cavalry. No matter who wins, Liu Bei's Army will benefit! If the Xiliang Cavalry loses, Zhang Xiu will be afraid of Lü Bu's revenge and ask for help. At that time, Liu Bei will be the leader! But what if Lü Bu loses? The Xiliang Cavalry will be able to attack Lujiang and Lü Bu will not be able to save Liu Bei!
At that time, Liu Bei's Army will have the opportunity to develop! After taking half of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, Liu Bei will look at the world's situation!
If Cao Cao wins against Yuan Shao, Liu Bei will send his troops to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Cao Cao will have just finished fighting Yuan Shao and he will have to defend Yanzhou and Zhili! If Cao Cao loses, it will be even better. Liu Biao will directly attack Yanzhou and Zhili and replace Cao Cao to confront Yuan Shao in Guandu. After that, he will take Qingzhou and Xuzhou! This way, Liu Bei will still be the biggest warlord in the world. With such a large territory, he can decide whether he will let the Han Emperor be his puppet or become the emperor himself!
