Chapter 5 Sun Quan and Cao Bao

After some uproar, the four people in the room sat down again.

Zhang Fei was happily sent to the kitchen by Liu Bei. When he left, he had a smile on his face and a brisk pace on his feet.

How simple is the second brother's problem? Just look for an opportunity and stab Na Lu Meng to death with a spear! It's a pity that neither the military advisor nor the eldest brother agree. Why don't you find an opportunity to kill first and then show off?

With a few simple thoughts swirling in his head, Zhang Fei planned to stay drunk tonight!

In the quiet side hall again, Liu Bei felt like he had a splitting headache, but he still wanted to explain:

"Marquis Wu has a younger sister, but she is said to be the apple of her eye. She is no more than ten years old. How could she marry me?"

"My lord, please don't be humble!" Kong Ming said with a loud laugh: "My lord is now leading the herdsmanship in Jingzhou, and in the future he will pacify Yizhou and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. How can he not be considered a hero?"

"Master, don't worry too much, just let nature take its course."

Kong Ming didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Although Mrs. Gan survived the Battle of Changbanpo, she was frightened and fell seriously ill. Her health was not as good as before and she needed help every day.

It is also the battle of Changbanpo. Mrs. Mi fell into a well and died after entrusting Adou with her. It is really sighing.

Now there is no caring person around Liu Bei who can take care of him, and the position of his head wife is vacant. If he can have a bride, they, the civil servants and generals, can feel more at ease.

Liu Bei was noncommittal and turned his attention to the last paragraph of the light curtain record, which is the content of the light curtain appearing again today, and the content is very eye-catching.

"Sun Shiwan? The army of 100,000 was defeated by 800 elite soldiers?"

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu can both be called veteran generals on the battlefield, and Kong Ming is also a man who knows soldiers. After reading this news, he will inevitably doubt his life:

"Sun Quan's troops are one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand! Even if it's one hundred thousand flour pancakes, Zhang Liao would have to squat for half a month to eat them!"

Kong Ming first expressed doubts: "Is it possible that this later life is too far away from us, so the records are biased?"

"Eight hundred versus one hundred thousand, even if Marquis Huaiyin is reincarnated, it is absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Yun tried to dismantle it literally:

"Most of the 100,000 troops are only called 100,000. The actual number may be 68,000. The number of combatable troops is at most 20,000, but 20,000 versus 800..."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and muttered:

"Military strength is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat, just like Zhou Gongjin in Chibi defeated Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army."

"Wen Yuan and I are old acquaintances, and we are people who know the military well. If he leads the eight hundred Bingzhou soldiers, and the other general is as good as Cao Bao, then Zhang Wenyuan and his horse will fight bravely and win a big victory."

Guan Yu said it very cautiously, but after some calculations by several people present, hey! Maybe there's something to be said for it.

A fierce general and eight hundred fearless personal guards attack tens of thousands of mobs, and the opponent's generals are still a bunch of idiots. In this case, it seems that there is no surprise in winning.

only……

"Wu Hou turned out to be like Cao Bao?" Liu Bei was surprised.

Cao Bao left a deep impression on Liu Bei after he arrived in Xuzhou. He first led Danyang's elite troops to be defeated by Xiahou Dun, and later welcomed Lu Bu into the city, causing the city of Xuzhou to change hands.

On paper, he is cowardly, incompetent, and duplicitous. It can be said that a man is like a straw bag as his name suggests, but how can such a straw bag stand side by side with Sun Quan?

"Brother, don't forget what Guangmu said. In the future, the internal fighting between the Jianghuai faction and the Jiangdong wealthy families in Jiangdong will become more and more intense." Guan Yu shook his head, almost having a glimpse of the truth:

"Most of the wealthy families in Jiangdong are private soldiers. When fighting, they will cherish their infantry and refuse to charge. However, the Jianghuai faction will naturally not charge with all their strength when they see that they are cowering. In this way, the morale of the army will be weakened before the war begins."

"But Wen Yuan is a strong general and treats his soldiers like brothers. If he fights bravely in battle, his own soldiers will inevitably die. If the two sides are in contact, how can Wu Hou's soldiers and horses win?"

"Just like General Zilong." Guan Yu said this and raised his hands to Zhao Yun:

"Although there are three younger brothers raiding the formation at Changbanpo, General Zilong is brave and invincible, and Cao's army is timid when he goes in and out seven times to kill. If it is described like this, doesn't it mean that General Zilong is one against ten thousand?"

Zhao Yun quickly returned the gift with a humble gesture, while Liu Bei held Zhao Yun's hands tightly:

"Changbanpo knew that Zilongzhen was an unparalleled general!"

But even though he said this, Liu Bei actually added something to himself inexplicably: It's a pity that the rescue of Adou was useless.

Zhao Yun was full of emotion and a little confused: Why did the Lord's smile become so forced?

Zhang Fei was not here, so everyone pretended not to have seen the next two light curtain remarks.

[But how come there is Liu Chen in Wuhou Temple but not Liu Chan? 】

[All the people in Wuhou Temple can be called loyal men of the Shu Han Dynasty. Is Liu Chan worthy of it? You don’t feel ashamed to stay in there! 】

From this point of view, Wuhou Temple is like an ancestral temple, where you can enjoy incense and worship forever. Later generations seem to regard Liu Chan as a traitor to the Shu Han Dynasty, and even the ancestral temple is not allowed to enter.

However, Guan and Zhao glanced at each other subconsciously: If we talk about the loyalty of Shu Han, they should count, right? After death, being enshrined in it for eternal sacrifice seems... pretty good?

Liu Bei's mood was very complicated.

On the one hand, it was because Liu Chan once again refreshed his sense of presence in front of him, and on the other hand, it also showed how failed his son's education was.

On the other hand, he discovered that no one knows how many years have passed, even though the dynasties have changed and the world has changed, the people in this land have still not forgotten him and this group of people who fought desperately for the Yanhan.

He Liu Bei once sighed because of the resurrection of thigh meat, hesitated because of the decline of the Han Dynasty, was ridiculed by the Jiangdong nobles, was betrayed by the subordinates of Liu Biao and Tao Qian, and was chased by Cao Cao.

But now this light curtain tells him with such inadvertent words that these years of persistence are valuable! Those who care about the Han Dynasty have not forgotten him, and future generations have not forgotten him!

The simple meeting did not have any clear results in the end. Even if it is now known that the ally of Dongwu is unreliable, there is no reason or strength to turn against each other, so we still have to continue to cooperate.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun left together to study military tactics or hone their martial arts. In the future, they will fight both Sun Wu and Cao thieves. They don't plan to give these credits to others! Sitting in the ancestral temple and enjoying incense and sacrifices, who can refuse this temptation?

Kong Ming continued to handle official business in the side hall. At the same time, he planned to continue to study the internal contradictions of Dongwu in his spare time according to the words on the light curtain. He had a hunch that the descendants of the future generations who summarized the contradictions within a force so simply must have a complete set of theories and summarizing methods. He was very interested in this.

Liu Bei went out excitedly and planned to write a letter to Ma Chao first. It would not be wrong to build a relationship first.

As for Huang Zhong, he happened to be in the four counties of Jingzhou today. Liu Bei planned to go directly to his house to show his respect and sincerity!

Coincidentally, as soon as he went out, he ran into a maid holding two-year-old Adou, and Adou's little face was full of smiles: "Dad, hold~"

Liu Bei's happy expression on his face disappeared, he pulled Adou over and put him on his knees, and slapped Adou's buttocks twice, causing him to cry like a pig being slaughtered:

"Dad, Adou was wrong!~"

Liu Bei had a dark face and did not explain. He directly put Adou under his armpit and planned to take him to meet General Huang Zhong. He made up his mind to discipline this son well from today, at least he should not be like in later history where he could not even enter the ancestral temple!

Newbie on the road, please take care of me!
