Chapter 316 The mind of the superior

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Liu Bei's cold expression disappeared the moment Zhao Yun came in. His face changed to a gentle smile, as if he was waiting for a general to return from the battlefield.

Zhao Yun quickly walked into the room, knelt down and bowed to Liu Bei, "Welcome to the Lord"

"The dragon doesn't have to perform this tribute." Liu Bei smiled and stopped Zhao Yun from performing the tribute, and ordered someone to serve tea. Then he asked with concern: "You are still used to living in Wuling County."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort. He had been in Wuling County for a year, and now he asked if he was used to life.

Zhao Yun was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for public concern, Zhao Yun is at peace with the situation."

"Hey Long said this well, and I am not the same. I have fought in the north for half my life and was considered to be a world-wide battle, but now I am in the south. It is also a kind of peace with the flow. It's not easy for us."

Liu Bei was just hinting to Zhao Yun that he would not talk about Wuling County. He didn't want to listen. Zhao Yun also understood Liu Bei's meaning, and his heart was sad.

Zhao Yun came to meet Liu Bei today, hoping that he could be transferred back. The life of the military general belongs to the battlefield. He does not want to become the loess of Wuling County in obscurity.

"male"

Although it is difficult for Zhao Yun to speak, he mustered up the courage to stumble: "I want to return to the battlefield."

"Oh, Long Xinsi wanted to return to the battlefield, I understand."

Liu Bei's tone was still as generous and gentle as ever, but his eyes flashed with sarcasm that could not be concealed. He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Yun's expression change, and he felt Zhao Yun's low mood.

For some reason, he felt very happy, as if he heard the woman who betrayed him encounter misfortune.

"Dragon is willing to fight against Cao's army for the sake of the public." Zhao Yun added a sentence in a low voice.

It was this sentence that made the generous smile on Liu Bei's face suddenly disappear and his face became gloomy. Zhao Yun only said Cao Cao, but did not mention Liu Jing, just like a burning match thrown into a gasoline barrel, causing Liu Bei's remnant to burst out.

"Maybe it disappointed Long. Now I don't have Cao's army as an enemy. Instead, the Jiangxia army caused me to lose my troops and lose my generals. I am considering sending an army to retake Xiangyang. Don't Long want to return to the battlefield, I will fulfill your wish as a pioneer general."

Of course, Liu Bei did not have the courage to attack Xiangyang again, but he was determined to test Zhao Yun. He looked at Zhao Yun with a smile, waiting for his reply.

Zhao Yun did not understand Liu Bei's thoughts. He was silent for a moment. In order to sincerely say to Liu Bei, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao has pacified the north and eliminated the troubles of Wuhuan. His next strategy must be to fight the southern expedition. At this time, the ministers believed that all the factions in the south should abandon their past grudges and cause them to the outside world. Now Cao's army stationed troops in Fancheng and was eyeing Jingxiang. Jingzhou should no longer be infighting. Zhao Yun's heartfelt words, please think of the Duke."

Zhao Yun bowed his head and leaned over without facing Liu Bei's gaze. He didn't know that whenever he said something, Liu Bei's gaze became cold. When he finished his last sentence, Liu Bei's gaze was so cold that it could almost kill people.

Liu Bei suddenly laughed, "Long is right, very insightful. I don't know that the letter Long gave to Liu Jing was not so persuading him."

Zhao Yun's body froze under him, and after a while he whispered: "I don't understand what the husband means."

"How come Long doesn't understand? Two months ago, didn't he send someone to send you a lot of local products? At the same time, he also sent you a letter. You also replied to the letter. It seems to be four or five pages. The letter has written so much content. Didn't you advise him to put the bureau first?"

Zhao Yunxin suddenly felt endless sadness. The man actually placed a tent next to him to investigate his actions. He even knew how many pages of letter paper he had written.

Zhao Yun slowly straightened his waist, looked at Liu Bei's gaze, and said calmly: "I am very loyal to my husband. I regard Liu Jing as my younger brother. He is my only relative. If my husband does not trust me because of this, I have no choice."

Liu Bei also realized that he had made a mistake. He shouldn't have revealed the secret and let Zhao Yun know that he had an investigation around him. He changed his mind and waved his hand and smiled: "Long is worried too much, how could I not trust you? Will you let you train soldiers if you don't trust you? I'm just talking casually, don't take it to heart."

Liu Bei smiled sincerely. He thought about it and said, "This way, Feng'er personally built a city in Jianping County. He has no experience. I am very worried that he will be attacked by the Bashu army. Long might as well help him for me and help him guard Jianping County."

Zhao Yunyan stood up without saying a word and saluted Liu Bei deeply, "Go away from humble duty"

He turned around and went out. As soon as Zhao Yun left, Liu Bei's face turned extremely pale. He immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter and handed it to the famous guard. "Go to Jianping County quickly and handed this letter to the public, so that he must do what I believe."

The guard took the letter and hurriedly left. Liu Bei's face became even more ugly. He suddenly picked up the inkstone on the table, smashed it hard on the wall, gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard dares to threaten me."

Zhao Yun slowly walked out of the mansion, and he suddenly sighed to the sky, his heart was completely disappointed. Liu Bei also deprived him of his right to train troops. At this moment, he felt unprecedented loneliness and loneliness.

.........

As the night gradually became deeper, Liu Bei also forgot about the troubles during the day. He sat in the inner hall and teased himself as half a year old.

Liu Chan is white and fat. Unlike other children, Liu Chan is sleepy. He has to sleep for at least ten hours in the sky. Instead, he always wakes up in the middle of the night, cries and tortures his wet nurse to exhaustion.

But because of this, Liu Bei rarely has time to communicate with his baby. Although Liu Bei was very tired from the journey today, he still forced himself to play with him.

"Jump, and then daddy"

Liu Bei sat cross-legged, pinching his little hands, making his little feet jump on his legs, and Liu Bei's eyes narrowed into slits.

Sitting next to Liu Bei's two young wives, Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi looked plain and could not tell what she was thinking, but Mrs. Gan was a little excited. Her husband's love for her son brought her infinite comfort.

Mrs. Gan wanted to persuade her husband to rest early several times, but she couldn't bear to disturb his interest. At this time, Mrs. Mi called out in a low voice: "Husband"

Liu Bei was immersed in the family joy of his son, and did not hear his wife's voice. Mrs. Mi hesitated, stood up and walked to Liu Bei, sat down and touched him gently.

Liu Bei was stunned and looked at his wife's gaze. He saw that the butler at the door of the hall was hesitating, as if he had something to report.

"Is there anything wrong?" Liu Bei was a little unhappy. He didn't want to be disturbed at this time.

"Report to Master, Mr. Pang asks for a meeting"

Mr. Pang is naturally Pang Tong. Liu Bei frowned. What did he do so late and he said to the housekeeper unhappily: "Tell him, I've rested."

The housekeeper agreed and turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Bei changed his mind again, "Okay, take him to the study room for a while, and I will come immediately after changing my clothes."

Although Liu Bei was very unhappy, he did not want to make an exception. He had never refused to visit officials. His good reputation was accumulated by these little details.

He handed the son to Mrs. Mi, and got up and went to change his clothes.

...........

In the room, Pang Tong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking a little nervous

But on the other hand, Pang Tong's face was filled with excitement. He already knew that Zhuge Liang's defeat in Xiangyang, which made him very excited. This time, Zhuge Liang's failure was not only a loss of troops, but also arbitrarily sent troops.

If he could seize this opportunity, even if he could not replace Zhuge Liang, he would still be on par with him. He would no longer be suppressed by Zhuge Liang like he is now, and he would have no chance to stand out.

Pang Tong naturally knew that it was a bit rude to come to find the man so late, but his excitement made him unable to wait for tomorrow. He hoped to get a satisfactory result tonight.

"I've been waiting for Shi Yuan for a long time." Liu Bei walked into the room with a smile.

Pang Tong hurriedly gave a deep salute, "See the Public"

Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk."

He also ordered the guards to serve tea, and the two of them took their seats. Pang Tong bowed first and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'm so sorry, I'm here to disturb you so late."

"Hehe Shiyuan's words are out of the blue."

Liu Bei touched Guangguang's chin and smiled, "I know that Shi Yuan must have something to do here, so I wish to listen carefully."

Although Pang Tong came for Zhuge Liang, he could not judge the matter on the matter, and he still needed to implicitly indirectly.

"I have also heard about Xiangyang. In fact, I have a plan, and Xiangyang is at your fingertips."

"Oh, the Shiyuan Strike will be released." Liu Bei suddenly became interested, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong took out a map of Jingzhou from Huai and spread it on a small table. Liu Bei also took the candlestick with interest, and the candlelight illuminated the map.

Pang Tong pointed to Fangling County and said, "I heard that Cao's army had withdrawn from Long, but I can say with certainty that Cao's army would never cross the river from Fangling to north, but would continue to retreat westward to Shangyong County."

Pang Tong used his finger to hit Shangyong County west of Fangling County. The two counties were blocked by blocking water. Liu Bei pondered for a while and asked, "Why is it so sure?"

“The reason is very simple”

Pang Tong pointed to the Han River and smiled and said, "The Jiangxia army has an absolute advantage in the water. Since they did not allow Cao's army to withdraw from Xiangyang, how could they allow Cao's army to cross the river from Fangling? Cao's army retreated to Fangling County. The Jiangxia navy will definitely follow him. Not to mention whether Cao's army has ferries in Fangling, even if there are, they will be sunk by the Jiangxia army. Cao Ren will never risk crossing the river."

Liu Bei nodded. Pang Tong really made sense. He asked again: "What does this have to do with the capture of Xiangyang?"

"I think that after the battle, Liu Jing will definitely lead his strength to Jiangxia, leave an army to defend Xiangyang, and then leave a team of warship navy. If the Cao army suddenly attacks Long at this time, will the Xiangyang army support Long?"

Liu Bei had already understood what Pang Tong meant, and he pondered: "Shi Yuan meant to pretend to be Cao's army and use the strategy of digging the tiger away from the mountain."
