Chapter 492: Regaining glory
It has endured thousands of blows but is still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south. ----------Qing Dynasty. "Bamboo and Stone" by Zheng Banqiao (Zheng Xie)
It is said that although Chang'an is in danger, news is coming from all directions and the situation in the world has become more complicated. It has not been simplified just because Chen Long has taken control of Weiyang Palace. It became an extravagant hope to hold the emperor hostage to the princes, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty appeared again in Cao Ying. Yuan Shu in Luoyang was ready to make a move, Li Hu in Hanzhong was ready to rise, and Sun Ce in Jiangdong sent envoys to make friends. The world is so unpredictable that Chen Long, who traveled through time, did not expect it.
The chaotic and disorderly changes made Chen Long extremely upset, and he was obsessed with finding the whereabouts of his beloved wife Diao Chan. Therefore, although he had not met Zhuge Jin for a long time, while drinking, he couldn't help but think of the short life and his attitude was depressed. Zhuge Jin was originally a loyal and affectionate person, but when he saw Chen Long missing his beloved wife, he was secretly worried about him.
Chen Long drank a few drinks with the Zhuge brothers silently, and suddenly smashed the wine glass to pieces. He made up his mind to let go of everything and vowed to find Diao Chan first. Speaking of surveying the scene, Zhuge Jin suddenly said: "I have been interested in things like concealment and tracking since I was a child. I am willing to conduct an on-site survey for the general."
Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Zhuge Jin had such skills. He could go to the scene to check the traces left by the person who kidnapped Diao Chan, so that he could track it. Immediately, he must summon dozens of special operations divisions and follow him to the scene to check. The special forces commanders Lu Chang, Hu Ji, Hao Pu, Zu Lang, Li Tong and other captains were all there. Forty elite team members got up early and prepared a supply of dry food and supplies, preparing to follow the lord deep into the mountains.
Chen Long was about to issue an order when Zhuge Jin suddenly stood up and blocked him slightly. Chen Long smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ziyu, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhuge Jin bowed seriously and said: "The Lord of Qinglong calls me sir, but I really don't dare to take it seriously. I have something stuck in my throat, and I really can't say it out." Chen Long sat upright, as if he was listening attentively.
"I heard that the best is like water, which hydrates all things. The Lord of Qinglong has always had the mind and tolerance to tolerate the world, and has the ideals and beliefs to seek happiness for the people. This is to take the world as his own responsibility. Today, the world is uncertain, life and death are in danger, and I am far away. After arriving, the boat was tired, day and night alternated, and I walked for twenty days, but the Lord of the Blue Dragon did not ask me about my purpose of coming."
"Cao Mengde and my lord Sun Bofu fought fiercely at He Fei. Xiahou Dun used his spear to challenge He Fei's guard Zhou Shang. Our lord went out to fight in person and fought with Xiahou Dun in a decisive battle with San Baihe. He Fei changed hands several times, but Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and Le Jin , Li Dian, and Yu Jin led five lines of Qingzhou soldiers, who continuously advanced from Shouchun, intending to surround Hefei on all sides and annihilate our army. Our Lord had no choice but to order the troops to return to the Lujiang line and defend the last line of defense north of the Yangtze River."
"If the Lujiang River is broken, there will no longer be a place for our lord to stand north of the Yangtze River, and half of the world will be named Cao. The governor Zhou Gongjin rushed from Jiangxia to Lujiang overnight to discuss countermeasures with my lord. Seeing that Cao's army was strong, although There are natural dangers in the Yangtze River, but the soldiers east of the river are only a few hundred thousand, and the generals are no more than a hundred, so it will be difficult to resist Cao's millions of soldiers."
"The governor of Zhou was planning all night long. He expected that Jiangdong would be difficult to defeat alone. Only by joining forces with others to fight against Cao Cao could we all unite to keep warm. Yuan Shu's claim to the throne was unpopular, and everyone was afraid to avoid him. Only Qinglong was the one with the strength to compete with Cao Cao's thieves in the world. It’s just an army. As the saying goes, heroes think alike. The general is such a hero. He should understand the truth and reach a consensus with the Zhou Governor."
"To show my sincerity, my lord is willing to withdraw from the Jiangxia competition and let the Qinglong army take Huangzu's territory. In this way, we can form an immortal alliance and Sunlong alliance to fight against the Cao thieves. This is a matter of sincerity in the world. The general has always wanted to save the people. Yu Shuihuo, is it because he is anxious to save his wife that he doesn't even want to listen?"
Zhuge Jin's words were justified. In the novel, the two alliances between Sun and Liu were made. Lu Su and Lu Zijing took the greatest credit, laying the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Chibi. Later, Sun Quan also adopted Lu Su's strategy and once again fought with Lu Su. After the alliance of Shu and Han, the two sides joined forces to fight against the powerful enemies of Cao and Wei, and only then did the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu form a tripartite alliance. At that time, the Jiangdong Group was faced with two choices. One was to help Liu Bei and attack Cao Cao together, but helping Liu Bei was tantamount to feeding a tiger into trouble; the other was not to help Liu Bei, but it faced the risk of Cao Cao attacking Jiangdong, which would lead to death. But at this moment, it was Zhou Gongjin who came to seek an alliance with Sun Long to fight against Cao Wei because of Cao Mengde's oppression. There is nothing more strange than this.
After Zhuge Jin finished speaking, he clasped his hands and leaned over, ready to bear Chen Long's anger. Chen Long, however, seemed to be awakened, and instantly understood that he was so depressed and acted rashly, which was not the behavior of a good person. If the will is easily shaken, it will only make Jingzhou leaderless, make the people of the world suffer, and make the Qinglong Army fall apart. If that's the case, there are just a few more warlords in the world. If we can't realize our ideals, we might as well surrender to our great enemy Cao Cao.
Chen Long stood up, took Zhuge Jin's hands, and asked him to stand up straight. His eyes showed his sincere feelings and said: "Ziyu is a really wise minister, but how can he help Sun Bofu but not me? Think of the four people in Shuijing Villa back then. Xiao Wucai, Ziyu should come and help me with Kong Ming." Zhuge Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, but said nothing, he was indeed a loyal and good minister. Chen Long knew that Zhuge Jin couldn't help himself, so he could only sigh from the bottom of his heart.
Because of Zhuge Jin's words, Chen Long became ambitious and slowly puffed up his chest and said: "Tzuyu's words were astonishing. They reminded me of my original intention to fight for the world, and I felt deeply guilty. I have been since Lingling. The day the army was raised was to save all the people in the world. This sentiment can be expressed by the sun and the moon, and the gods can learn from it. Today, Chang'an has been decided. Although I have lost my lover, the rise and fall of the world cannot be abandoned, and the safety of the people cannot be ignored. The Qinglong army is still rising, and I vow to fight with you Cao Mengde fights to the end!" As he spoke, he already had a serrated dagger in his hand. He cut off a corner of the table and said, "Sun Long will join forces to fight against Cao Cao! Anyone who violates this oath will be punished by God!"
Zhuge Jin saw Chen Long's eyes shining brightly and his expression was determined, and he said with great joy: "There is a master of the blue dragon in the world, which is a blessing to the people!" Zhuge Jin's words were like sending help in the snow, and Chen Long finally regained his strength and strode out of the hall with great power. Linlin stood in the middle of the backyard, behind him were the Zhuge brothers with their beautiful trees facing the wind, standing in the shape of a cross. The breeze swayed the three men's robes. Zhong Yao, Xu Shu, Lu Chang, Zhong Hui and others saw that their lord was in high spirits, not as he had just been, and they were really confused. Seeing the generals gathered around, Chen Long said: "Yuan Chang! Yuan Zhi! Lu Chang! I order the three of you to immediately separate and pass the order, and order all the generals and military advisors above the division level in Chang'an City to gather here within an hour to participate in the First Battle of Chang'an." A general military meeting!"
