Romance narration

In Chapter 52 of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's wise words to Lu Su and Zhao Zilong's plan to take the second watch of the same night in Guiyang, it is true that a young army arrived at the Zhaikou, each with a handful of grass,

But Zhou Yu saw that Kong Ming had attacked Nanjun and heard that he had attacked Jingxiang. How could he not be angry? Qi wound arrow sores, a long time Fang Su, the public will repeatedly persuade. Yu said, "if you don't kill Zhuge cunfu, how can I get rid of my resentment! Cheng demou can help me to attack Nanjun. I will take back Dongwu. " During the discussion, Lu Su arrived. Yu said, "I want to fight with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to win the city again. Zijing is very kind to help me Lu Su said, "No. Now he is in a stalemate with Cao Cao, and has not yet divided the success or failure. If Cao's soldiers take advantage of the weakness, they will be in danger. What's more, Liu Xuande and Cao Cao were very close to each other in the past. If they were forced to give up the city and attack the east Wu together, what would they do? " Yu said: "we use stratagems to damage our troops and spend money and food. He will go to make plans. How hateful is that?" Su said: "Gongjin is patient. Let a person see Xuande, will reason for him. If that doesn't make sense, it's not too late to start. " The generals said, "Zijing's words are very good."

So Lu Su led the followers to Nanjun and called at the foot of the city. Zhao Yun asked, Su said: "I want to see Liu Xuande, have something to say." The cloud replied, "my Lord and his army are in the city of Jingzhou." Su then did not enter Nanjun and went to Jingzhou. Seeing the whole array of banners and banners, the army was very powerful, so he said, "Kong Ming is really a man!" The sergeant reported to the city that Lu Zijing wanted to see him. Kongming ordered the city gate to be opened and Su to enter the Yamen. At the end of the ceremony, the guests and the hosts will be seated separately. After the tea, Su said: "my Lord, marquis Wu, and his governor Gong Jin, have taught a certain person to express his wishes to Uncle Huang. The former, who has attracted millions of people to Jiangnan, really wants to come to Uncle Huang. Fortunately, he was killed by the east Wu and retreated Cao's troops, and saved uncle Huang. All the nine counties in Jingzhou belong to Dongwu. Now the emperor's uncle used a trick to seize Jingxiang and make Jiangdong spend money, food, troops and horses. But the emperor's uncle was afraid that he would not be reasonable if he could benefit from it. " Kong Ming said, "Zi Jing is a wise man. Why did he say that? As the saying goes: things belong to the Lord. The nine counties of Jingxiang, not the land of Dongwu, are the foundation of Liu Jingsheng. My Lord is the brother of gujingsheng. Although Jing Sheng died, his son is still there. Why not take Jingzhou as his uncle's assistant to his nephew Su said, "if it is occupied by Liu Qi, the young master, there is still something to be solved. Now the young master is in Jiangxia, so he must not be here!" Kong Ming said, "does Zi Jing want to see you?" He ordered: "please come out." Only two followers helped Liu Qi out from behind the screen. Qi said Su said: "sick body can't be polite, son respect don't sin." Lu Su was surprised, silent, for a long time, said: "if you are not here, then how?" Kong Ming said, "if you are not here, there will be no consultation." Su said, "if you are not here, you must return the city to me." Kong Ming said, "the words of Zi Jing are true." So they held a banquet to treat each other.

After the banquet, Su left the city and returned to the village at night. Yu said, "Liu Qi is young. How can he die? When will Jingzhou be returned? " Su said, "don't worry, governor. Only in Lu Su's case, we must ask Jing Xiang to return to the east Wu. " Yu said, "what's Zijing's opinion?" Su said: "I see that Liu Qi is too drunk and ill. Now he is thin, panting and spitting blood. But half a year later, he will die. At that time, Liu Bei had no reason to take Jingzhou. " Zhou Yu was still angry, but Sun Quan sent an envoy to him. Please come in. The emissary said, "my Lord, when you are surrounded, you can't win. He ordered the governor to take back his army and send troops to Hezhou to help him. " Zhou Yu had to go back to Chaisang to recuperate, and ordered Cheng Pu's department to lead the warships and soldiers to listen to Sun Quan's call.

However, Liu Xuande was proud of Jingzhou, Nanjun and Xiangyang. He was very happy and discussed a long-term plan. Suddenly, a man came to the hall to offer advice. He regarded it as Yi Ji. Xuande felt his kindness in the old days and respected each other very much. He sat down and asked. He said, "if you want to know the long-term plan of Jingzhou, why don't you ask the wise men to ask?" Xuande said, "where are the sages?" His name is Su, and his character is Youchang. His most virtuous person has white hair between his eyebrows, and his name is Liang, and his character is Jichang. There is a proverb in the village that says, "the best is the white eyebrow." Why don't you ask this man for help? " Xuande asked. Ma Liangzhi and Xuande treat each other with good manners. May I ask you how to keep Jingxiang. Liang said: "I'm afraid that we can't defend Jingxiang for a long time. I can make my son Liu Qi recuperate here and ask the old people to defend it. It shows that my son is the governor of Jingzhou to reassure the people. Then they went south to Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling counties to collect money and grain. This is a long-term plan. " Xuande was overjoyed, so he asked, "which county should the four counties take first?" Liang said, "Lingling is the nearest to the west of Xiangjiang River, so you can take it first, and Wuling is the second. Then, to the east of the Xiangjiang River is Guiyang, followed by Changsha. " Xuande then employed Ma Liang as his career and Yi Ji as his assistant. Please discuss sending Liu Qi back to Xiangyang and returning to Jingzhou for Yun Chang. He dispatched troops to Lingling, sent Zhang Fei as the vanguard, followed by Zhao Yunhe and Kong Ming, Xuande as the central army, with 15000 troops, and left Yunchang to guard Jingzhou, MI Zhu and Liu to guard Jiangling. But Liu Du, the Lingling prefect, heard that Xuande's army was coming, and discussed with his son Liu Xian. Xian said, "father, don't worry. Although he has the courage of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, our local general Xing Daorong can fight against ten thousand people. " Liu Du then ordered Liu Xian and Xing Daorong to lead more than ten thousand soldiers, thirty miles away from the city, close to the mountain and the underwater village. Tan Ma Bao said: "Kong Ming led an army to come." Daorong then led the army to fight. In the two circles, Daorong came out with a big axe in his hand and yelled: "anti thief an, dare to invade my realm!" Only in the match, a cluster of yellow flags. At the opening of the flag, a four wheeled vehicle was launched. A man was sitting in the vehicle, wearing a silk scarf, a crane cloak, and a feather fan in his hand. Xing Daorong said with the fan, "I am Zhuge Kongming of Nanyang. Cao Cao attracted millions of people and was killed by me. How can you confront me? I'm here to invite you and others. Why don't you come down early? " Daorong laughed and said, "Chibi's fierce fighting is Zhou Lang's plan. What are you doing? Dare to lie!" The big axe ran to Kongming. Kongming then returned to the train and looked into the array. The gate of the array closed again. Daorong rushed to kill him. The battle was divided into two parts. Daorong looks at a cluster of yellow flags in the center. He is expected to be Kong Ming, but he only looks at the yellow flag. After wiping over the foot of the mountain, the yellow flag was tied up. Suddenly, the center of the mountain was separated. There was no four wheeled vehicle. A general with a spear leaped over his horse and yelled. He went straight to Daorong, who was Zhang Yide. When Dao Rong's wheel and axe came to meet him, he could not count the number of battles, and if he could not increase his strength, he would pull the horse and go. Wing Germany then came, shouting shock, two ambushes together. Dao rongshe rushed by. A general in front of him stopped the way and yelled, "do you know Zhao Zilong of Changshan?" Dao Rong expected that he could not be defeated, and had nowhere to run, so he had to dismount and surrender. When Zilong came to the village, he saw Xuande and Kongming. Xuande was beheaded after drinking. Kong Ming asked Rong, "if you catch Liu Xian with me, you will surrender." Daorong is willing to go. Kong Ming said, "how can you catch him?" Daorong said, "if a military adviser is willing to let someone go back, someone will say it skillfully. This evening, the military commander dispatched troops to rob the village. A certain man was an inside man. He captured Liu Xian alive and offered it to the military commander. When Liu Xian is captured, Liu Du will come down. " Xuande didn't believe it. Kong Ming said, "general Xing is not a fallacy." Then he released Tao and returned home. Daorong had to return to the village and tell Liu Xian the truth. The sage said, "what can I do?" Daorong said, "you can do whatever you want. Tonight, the soldiers are lying outside the village. In the village, flag flags are erected. When Kong Ming comes to rob the village, he will catch it. " Liu Xianyi.

On the second watch of that night, a young tiger army came to the stockade, each with a straw, and set fire together. Liu Xian and Dao Rong killed each other, and the arson army retreated. Liu Xian and Dao Rong took advantage of the situation to catch up. After more than ten miles, the army disappeared. Liu Xian and Dao Rong were shocked and rushed back to the village. They saw that the fire was not extinguished. Zhang Yide was the outstanding general in the village. Liu Xian called Daorong: "do not enter the village, but go to rob Kongming village." So he returned to the army. Not ten miles away, Zhao yunyin stabbed an army and killed it in the slant. A shot stabbed Daorong at the foot of the horse. Liu Xian scrambled for his horse, and Zhang Fei came behind him. He caught the horse alive and tied it up to see Kong Ming. Xiangao said, "it's not true that Xing Daorong teaches someone like this." Kong Ming ordered him to release his bondage, put on his clothes, and gave him wine to frighten him. He taught people to send him to the city to say that his father would surrender. If he did not surrender, he would break the city and kill all the people. Liu Xian went back to Lingling to see his father Liu Du. He described the virtue of Kong Ming and advised his father to surrender. So he set up a flag on the city, opened the gate of the city, took the seal ribbon out of the city, and threw it to Xuande village. Liu Du was still a prefect, and his son Liu Xian went to Jingzhou to work with the army. Lingling County residents are happy.

Xuande entered the city to pacify the three armed forces. He asked the generals, "Lingling has been taken. Who dares to take it in Guiyang County?" Zhao Yun should say: "someone is willing to go." Zhang Fei said bravely: "flying is willing to go!" The two fought. Kongming said: "in the end, it is Zilong who should go first, and only teach Zilong to go." Zhang Fei didn't agree,
