Chapter 101: Kong Ming's Arrangement

"For this battle, please allow the Prime Minister to go!" In the tent of Cao's army, a general stepped out and bowed to Cao Cao.

Everyone looked at it, it was Xiahou Yuan, the general under Cao Cao. Those who knew something were inside, suddenly realized that Wei Yue took advantage of the Battle of Guandu that the generals of Cao's army were basically sent out. In the empty situation, Xuchang not only led the people to protect Lu Bu's daughter and rebel against Xuchang, but also destroyed Xiahou Yuan's entire family, especially Xiahou Yuan's wife, who was tortured to death by Lu Lingqi. This was a very shame for Xiahou Yuan.

No matter what the reason is, Wei Yue and Lu Lingqi were completely hated by Xiahou Yuan. Now that I heard that these people gathered in Mocheng, Xiahou Yuanru could resist it?

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, "I know the anger of a talented man, but if you come to lead the army, I'm afraid..."

It is a taboo for generals to raise troops without anger. Once a general leads troops to fight, he will experience intense emotional fluctuations before the war and is easily provoked, thus revealing flaws. However, this is not easy to say clearly.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister!" Xiahou Yuan clasped his fists and said, "In this battle, the last general is willing to be an ordinary soldier, just to be able to charge into the battle."

Seeing that Xiahou Yuan was firm in his attitude, and Mocheng was just a small city after all, so there would be no major problems. After hesitating for a moment, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the battle will be led by Zi Xiao and Wen Qian, and Miaocai will be the pioneer."

It is naturally impossible for Xiahou Yuan to be an ordinary soldier to charge in the battle. Cao Cao asked Xiahou Yuan as the vanguard. Even if there were any mistakes, Cao Ren and Le Jin could make up for it in time in the rear.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, I will leave!" Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. After solemnly holding his fists at Cao Cao, he left side by side with Cao Ren and Le Jin.

Seeing that Jiangling had already been gone, Cao Cao immediately ordered his return to Xiangyang. The soldiers in the north were quite unacceptable to the local conditions in the south. Many of the Japanese army had already gotten sick, and Xiangyang was relatively better.

The three generals Xiahou Yuan led their troops to conquer Mocheng, but there was no response on Mocheng. After all, in terms of intelligence, Liu Yi's current weakness is now. On the other hand, Liu Bei had already joined the navy brought by Guan Yu, went down the river and stationed at Xiakou. During this period, he also met Zhao Yun who brought Mi and Liu Chan back. However, the intense process in the Romance of the Romance was gone, and Liu Bei did not so radically to throw the children. The reunion between the king and the minister was relatively dull.

"Zilong means that Bo Yuan saved Adou?" Liu Bei sat on the boat, looked at Zhao Yun and asked with a smile.

He was forced to escape the disaster at this moment. Although Jingzhou has been nominally occupied by Cao Cao, it does not mean that Liu Bei has no chance. He is good at seeking psychological comfort for himself in adversity, and can continue to encourage himself in adversity. Otherwise, with Liu Bei's situation in the first half of his life, if he gets depressed when he encounters adversity, he will not be able to reach the point he is now. At this moment, he is more interested in Liu Yi.

Jiangling did not grab it, and Liu Bei had not had many bargaining chips at this time. If he could completely pull Mocheng onto his own chariot at this time, it would undoubtedly be a huge help for Liu Bei now.

Especially when Zhao Yun mentioned the elite military power of Mocheng, Liu Bei had this thought. He is now in a shortage of major generals, and any help is precious.

"No," Zhao Yun knelt across from Liu Bei, nodded after hearing this, "When Mr. Bo Yuan's fleet was attracting refugees, he was about to encounter his wife and the young master being driven away by Cao's army, but it also attracted the attack of Cao's army."

"Cao's army has occupied Jiangling, and the four counties in Jingnan are also attached to each other." Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and frowned at the Guangjing on the river and said, "Although Mocheng belongs to Jiangxia, it is close to Jiangling. Now our army has retreated to Xiakou. If Cao's army wants to attack, Mocheng will be in danger."

"I wonder if sir has a solution?" Liu Bei asked frowned when he heard this. Now he has reached the end of his life. Even if he has the heart to help, he is unable to solve this problem.

Zhuge Liang thought after hearing this: "First of all, Mocheng needs to be able to hold on for a while. After all, Mocheng is just a small city, and Cao's army cannot send a large army to encircle and suppress it. The lord can go to see Mr. Qi and mobilize the troops westward, which may make Cao's army afraid."

"But how can Mocheng resist Cao's army?" Zhang Fei, who was standing beside him, asked with a frown.

"Although Liang has never personally arrived in Mocheng, it may not be easy for Mocheng to conquer with Bo Yuan's ability." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "There should be time now."

"Since that's the case, I'll go and invite him in person." Liu Bei nodded silently when he heard this. He knew that Liu Qi still had more than 10,000 troops in his hands, and was originally to compete with Liu Cong for the position of the lord of Jingzhou. Unfortunately, Cao's army marched south in large numbers, and Liu Qi could only lead his troops to withdraw back to Jiangxia. At present, he was just mobilizing troops and oppressing Cao Cao, and he would not refuse. After all, this was Jiangxia's own business.

Zhuge Liang nodded. That's all right now. It would be best if Liu Qi, Liu Bei and Liu Yi can form an alliance and then try to join forces with Sun Quan of Jiangdong to form a large military alliance. At that time, he will have the capital to challenge Cao Cao. Otherwise, even if the three families are united, if Cao Cao launches a large number of troops to attack, it will be difficult to stop Cao's army's pace by relying on Jiangxia alone. At that time, once Jiangxia is defeated, it will be impossible for Liu Bei to plan Jingzhou again.

As the leader of the plan, Zhuge Liang had to help Liu Bei design the future path. It was not hopeless to regain Jingzhou from Cao Cao, but this glimmer of vitality was difficult to capture. The most important thing at the moment was to dampen the spirit of Cao's army. If Mocheng could use Mocheng to smash the spirit of Cao's army, it would be better. Even if Mocheng could not be defended, it would be of great benefit to the current situation in Jiangxia, at least it would give them more time to stabilize the morale of the army and find allies.

"In addition, there are not many generals available around Bo Yuan. The lord can send a general to assist Bo Yuan in defending the city." Zhuge Liang smiled.

He didn't know who there were people around Liu Yi, but with Liu Yi's current status, it was difficult to find an excellent helper. As for generals, Liu Bei was not afraid of the end of his journey, but there were many generals who could stand alone. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Dao were all enemies of thousands of people, and Liu Feng, Guan Ping and others were also considered good generals.

Liu Bei nodded silently when he heard this, looked at Guan Yu and others beside him, and then looked at Zhuge Liang again and said, "Who can Kong Ming think he can go?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Since Zilong has had a friend with Bo Yuan, how about if Zilong doesn't come forward?"

There is no way. Liu Yi seems to be gentle, but he is arrogant in his bones. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's personality are not suitable. Chen Dao is responsible for guarding Liu Bei and cannot leave easily. Zhao Yun is cautious and is not the kind of ostentatious person. He is capable enough. In Zhuge Liang's opinion, Zhao Yun is undoubtedly the best candidate.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei asked, "I wonder if Zilong is willing to go to Mocheng on his behalf?"
