Chapter 231: Emergencies

It is said that Liu Biao’s surrender to Yuan Shu was originally carried out in secret. Only a few people including Kuailiang Kuaiyue and Liu Qi knew about Liu Biao’s surrender, not even generals like Huang Zhong. However, recent rumors about Liu Biao turning to Yuan Shu and bowing his head to Yuan Shu have been raging in Xiangyang and Fancheng, and almost everyone knows it.

This morning, Huang Zhong strode to Liu Biao’s residence, saw Liu Biao, and asked anxiously: "Lord, at the end I will hear rumors from the market that the lord has already taken refuge in the rebel Yuan Shu? Is this true?"

Liu Biao frowned when he saw that Huang Zhong was talking to himself in a questioning tone.

Kuailiang rebuked: "Doesn't it feel inappropriate for the old general to speak to the lord in this way?"

Huang Zhong realized that he was so impatient that his words and deeds were suspected of colliding with the lord, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The final general is rude!" Then he said anxiously: "I hope the lord can give the final an explanation!"

Liu Biao hesitated, not knowing what to do, so he looked at Kuailiang. Kuailiang said: "But there is such a thing."

Huang Zhong immediately became excited and exclaimed, "Let’s not say that Yuan Shu was a treason and rebellious minister. It’s just that he was a tyrannical man in Huainan. He was a tyrannical tyrant who was condemned and condemned by himself! As a descendant of the royal family, he has always been a tyrant. How can a virtuous name be with this person, and still condescend to be his subordinate? Wouldn't this method disappoint the soldiers and civilians?"

Liu Biao shouted angrily: "Huang Zhong, you are too rude!"

Huang Zhong said angrily: "Master, you must give me an explanation today!"

Liu Biao snapped the case abruptly and shouted; "Bold!" Then he said angrily: "I read for your past merits, and tolerate you everywhere, but you have to make an inch of it, and you have no respect and dignity! If I don't discipline you, where is the majesty! "Then he shouted: "Come on!" Dang even a few soldiers came in, clasped their fists and said: "Master!"

Liu Biao pointed to Huang Zhong and shouted: "Catch me up with this inferior fellow and put me in jail!"

The few soldiers looked at each other, hesitating and did not dare to do anything.

Upon seeing this, Liu Biao was furious, and shouted: "Did you hear me? Get Huang Zhong up for me!"

The soldiers hurriedly promised and caught Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong didn't give in and shouted, "It's easy for the lord to kill me, but I'm afraid I won't end up with Yuan Shu in the end. In the future, I will be laughed and scolded by the world?"

Liu Biao stood up and roared: "Drop it! Lock it up!"

Kuailiang hurriedly persuaded: "The lord quenches his anger! The lord quenches his anger! Although the old general's words are inappropriate and offensive, the lord should know better than anyone else. In fact, the old general Huang is more loyal to the lord! Please remember the past For the sake of the credit, please spare him this time!" Liu Biao's anger rested a little, and he couldn't help thinking of Huang Zhong's goodness.

Huang Zhong shouted at Kuailiang: "Quailiang, I don't need you to intercede!"

Liu Biao slapped the case table and shouted: "Knock out Huang Zhong!" A few soldiers dragged Huang Zhong out, but Huang Zhong shouted to himself: "Master, if you don't listen to advice, you will regret it sooner or later!" Gradually, I couldn't hear it anymore.

Liu Biao said angrily: "Didn't I explain that this matter should not be made public for the time being? Is it really now that everyone knows it?"

Kuailiang frowned and shook his head and said: "I don't know!" Then he said: "As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world! It is not unusual for this matter to spread!" Seeing Liu Biao's very annoyed appearance, he laughed. He persuaded him: "The lord shouldn't be too upset! This matter will be made public sooner or later, and now it’s okay if it spreads out. It’s okay to let everyone know." Liu Biao frowned, nodded, sighed, and said, "Now it’s too. Only think so!"

Speaking of Chen Lang returning to Jingzhou, Jia Xu saw that Mr. Wolong was not accompanied by Mr. Wolong when Chen Lang came back alone, so he couldn't help asking; "Master, didn't that Mr. Wolong come?"

Chen Lang smiled and shook his head, and said, "I missed it! Zhuge Liang has been taken to Jiangdong by his elder brother Zhugejin!"

Jia Xu frowned and said: "If this Zhuge Liang is really like the lord said, the Sun family will be more powerful!"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "So what? I'm happier if the enemy is stronger! It's boring to defeat the weak enemy. Only by defeating the strong enemy is it worth the joy!" After a pause, he smiled; "I also want to take a look at this. Is Zhuge Liang really as in the legend!" He glanced at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "I can't wait!"

Jia Xu was so heartbroken that he couldn't help but pray: "The Lord is really very human!"

Chen Lang laughed, and couldn't help but think of Zhuge Ruoxue who was glamorous and straightforward, and smiled: "Although I don't force Zhuge Liang, I must marry his sister!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Heroes have loved beautiful people since ancient times, and the lord is a big hero, so naturally he will like them. That Miss Zhuge must be a beautiful woman!"

Chen Lang smiled, and said: "Beautiful is naturally beautiful, and more importantly, she is like an old person I once knew!" At this point, his thoughts couldn't help but return to the scenes when he was a special soldier, and he couldn't help but laugh. He smiled, sighed, and said: "The past, I can't come back again!"

auzw.com Jia Xu felt that Chen Lang had something in his heart, but he was smart and didn't follow up, just be a silent listener.

Chen Lang retracted his thoughts and asked Jia Xu, "Is there anything wrong with Liu Biao?"

Jia Xu clasped his fist and said: "I am going to report to the lord. According to the detailed report, Liu Biao's refuge in Yuan Shu has caused a huge disturbance within Liu Biao! The people are panic, and Huang Zhong and others are very dissatisfied with Liu Biao's decision!"

Chen Lang nodded and asked, "Is anyone willing to surrender to us?"

Jia Xu frowned and shook his head, "Huang Zhong has refused our invitation!"

Chen Lang frowned and thought: "It seems that I still underestimated Liu Biao. There are still many people who are loyal to him!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Our strategy at least made them panic and their morale plummeted! Now is a good time to attack Fancheng Xiangyang!" Chen Lang nodded.

Time passed slowly, unknowingly it was almost the day when Chen Lang planned to emerge. All armies have been prepared, morale is high, and logistics are in place. The soldiers of the three armies can only wait for Chen Lang to give an order to kill Xiangyang Fancheng.

In the evening of that day, Chen Lang summoned the generals to prepare to arrange tasks before the expedition. The chief officers of the army all came to the hall and waited for Chen Lang's order.

Standing at the head, Chen Lang glanced at the generals and couldn't help but smile when they saw that the generals were impatient with high morale. Picking up an arrow from the Shuai case, ready to deliver the order.

At this moment, a messenger who was a servant of the world suddenly rushed in and reported in a hurry: "Master, emergency military affairs!"

Chen Lang frowned. The messenger knelt on one knee, dragging the cloth bag that hit the official document with both hands and lifting it high.

Dian Wei immediately went off the court, took the bag, and passed it to Chen Lang.

Chen Lang opened his bag and looked at it again, his expression still said: "Xianbei people are showing signs of a large-scale invasion of the south!" Everyone was taken aback, and Zhao Yun immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master, this matter is very serious, and the general thinks that the conquest should be stopped. Liu Biao, immediately return to the north to guard against the Xianbei!" Cai Tao, Zhang Yun and others looked at each other, all at a loss.

Wei Yan hurriedly said, "Presumably the Xianbei people won't go south right away! We should solve Liu Biao's occupation of Jingzhou first, and then it won't be too late to move northward!"

Wen Pin frowned and said: "Liu Biao still has a large army of 120,000 to 30,000, and Xiangyang Fancheng is also a strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. And now Liu Biao has connected with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses may appear at any time. Attacking Xiangyang Fancheng cannot be done overnight. There was a result. I was afraid that when the Xianbei army invaded Bingzhou, the main force of our army was trapped in Jingzhou and could not get out. At that time, it was a situation where both inside and outside were trapped inside and out! I really shouldn't take such a risk!"

Chen Lang asked the messenger: "The Xianbei people are about to invade south, is this true?"

"Return to the lord, this should be absolutely true! Many merchants who went to the north to do business have come back and reported this. Moreover, the Southern Huns have recently taken refuge in the Xianbei people and are going south to attack Yanmen and other places under the instructions of the Xianbei people. General Gan Ning has fought the enemy for several games and won each other's battles!"

Everyone talked in whispers. Chen Lang looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu frowned and said in a low voice: "As the diploma says, if we continue the original plan, the risk is too great! General Ruo Ganlin has a chance to be attacked by the enemy. , The consequences are unimaginable! I have to give up Jingzhou for the current plan!"

Chen Lang thoughtfully nodded, and smiled: "Damn! A piece of fat that has been eaten in his stomach is actually going to be vomited out!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "It is also necessary to give up when necessary! But I have an idea..." Then he walked to Chen Lang and whispered. The generals who were discussing saw this scene and stopped discussing one after another, looking at Chen Lang and Jia Xu, and became curious in their hearts.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Chen Lang scolded with a smile; "A good Jia Wenhe, worthy of being called a "poison man", this strategy is really vicious!"

Jia Xu smiled and folded his fists and said, "Thank you for your praise!"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "Just do it like this." "Yes!" Jia Xu clasped his fists and promised.

Chen Lang said to everyone: "The plan to attack Liu Biao was cancelled. I decided to withdraw the Yingyang army back to Luoyang to guard against the Xianbei!"

Wei Yan was shocked and said anxiously: "Lord, think twice! In this way, I'm afraid Jingzhou will not be able to hold it!"

Chen Lang said: "I have decided, General Wei Yan needn't say more!"

After the meeting ended, a group of generals filed out of the hall. Wei Yan was full of grievances and said to Wenpin: "The general wants to transfer all the Yingyang army away. With our Jingzhou army, I am afraid that we will not be able to defend Jingzhou. Sooner or later, this Jingzhou will be lost! I really don't know how the general will do it. Such a ridiculous decision!"

Wen Pin shouted: "Hugh is rude! It makes sense for the lord to make such a decision. Why are you so resentful!"
