Kong Ming said: "You should know the powerful relationship here, why are you still doing this?" Yu Yi said helplessly: "I am also one of the sworn people in Taoyuan. I tried my best to dissuade them. I have abided by my duty and sacrificed my righteousness for the overall situation. , However, Third Brother persuaded me, Your Majesty has already made up his mind, no more persuasion will have any effect, it’s better to just execute it.”
Kong Ming remained silent, and Yu Yi continued: "It's impossible for me to persuade you, but that doesn't mean you and the ministers can't persuade me. If you can persuade my eldest brother, I will naturally support you."
So Kong Ming sighed and returned to his mansion.
At the back, the First Lord organized his troops and prepared to attack. Bachelor Qin Mi said: "Your Majesty sacrificed his body of ten thousand chariots and followed the small righteousness. Even the ancients did not do this. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"
The First Master said firmly: "Guan Yu and I are just the same person. The righteousness is still there, how can we forget it?"
Qin Mi knelt on the ground and could not get up, and said: "If your Majesty does not follow my advice, you may fail!"
After hearing this, the First Lord was very angry and said angrily: "I am preparing to raise an army to attack, why did you say such unfavorable words!" After saying that, he asked the warrior to push him out and behead him. Qin Mi did not change his expression, turned around and smiled at the First Lord: "I It’s true that I will die without regrets, but the newly established foundation may be subverted again!”
Yu Yi walked up to Liu Bei and admonished him: "Your Majesty, Qin Mi is a loyal minister, and his words are well-intentioned, but he doesn't understand the covenant we made in Taoyuan in the past, and he doesn't understand the loyalty of brothers, which can save him from death. Wait until we return in triumph, and then we’ll have a good time.”
The First Master's anger subsided a little and said: "In that case, just lock him up first and wait until we come back."
After Kong Ming learned about this, he immediately submitted a report to the court. The content was: We believe that these thieves of Soochow used dishonorable methods, which caused the disaster of Jingzhou's destruction, the stars fell, and the pillars of heaven in Chu were broken. This pain cannot be forgotten. But the person who destroyed the Han Dynasty now is Cao Cao, and the person who replaced the Liu family is not Sun Quan. If Wei is eliminated, then Wu will naturally surrender. I hope your majesty can adopt Qin Mi's advice and raise enough soldiers. If you use up your energy and make other plans, then the country will be lucky! The whole world will be lucky!
After reading it, the First Lord threw the memorial on the ground and said: "My meaning has been made very clear, there is no need to come here to persuade me!" So he appointed Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to protect the prince, and cooperated with Wang Yuyi of Jingzhou to guard the land of the two rivers. General Ma Chao and his younger brother Ma Dai assisted Northern General Wei Yan in guarding Hanzhong and blocking the Wei army. General Zhao Yun of Huwei served as the rear guard and supervised the grain and grass affairs. Huang Quan and Cheng Ji served as staff officers, Ma Liang and Chen Zhen were in charge of documents, and Huang Zhong served as the vanguard. Feng Xi and Zhang Nan are deputy generals, Fu Tong and Zhang Yi are the guards of the central army, Zhao Rong and Liao Chun are the generals of central Sichuan, with a total of more than 100 personnel, as well as additional troops, totaling 750,000, selected In the seventh month of the first year of Dingzhangwu, he set out to attack Wu on Bingyin day.
Yu Yi was shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward to report, saying: "Although the disaster in Jingzhou was a sneak attack by Wu thieves, it is also related to me, and the Taoyuan three are sworn brothers, and the covenant cannot be forgotten. I hope I can serve as the front line and lead the troops." Take back the land of Jingzhou and take revenge by destroying the Wu thieves!"
The First Master was very happy after hearing this and said: "Your third brother told you earlier that you were ungrateful. I think he was wrong. You will command 200,000 soldiers and horses. Together, we brothers will destroy the Wu thieves and become famous all over the world." !”
After withdrawing from the First Master, Yu Yi went to find Kong Ming.
Kong Ming welcomed him in and said, "If you hadn't begged for mercy, I'm afraid the First Lord would have killed Qin Mi. I'd like to thank you on behalf of everyone else!"
Yu Yi shook his head and said: "There is no need to thank me. I can't persuade your majesty. Not long ago, I asked your majesty to request that you be the frontline troops to attack Soochow and take back Jingzhou."
After hearing this, Kong Ming shook his head and said: "To attack Soochow, the troops are unknown. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get support!"
Yu Yi stood up suddenly, bowed, and said: "Now the attack on Soochow has become a foregone conclusion. I also ask Brother Kong Ming to give me some advice on the military strength of both parties."
Kong Ming thought for a moment and said: "Ever since Zhou Yu was angered to death by my plot, Lu Su died of illness, and Lu Meng was assassinated by your elder brother's soul, Soochow has not had any core generals. As for Soochow's master Sun Quan, who leads the army Ma attacked Hefei many times, but was defeated by Zhang Liao, so there was nothing to fear."
Yu Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "But I heard that the mastermind behind the sneak attack on Jingzhou was Lu Xun. Lu Meng was just a cover. Do you know this person?"
Kongming was very surprised after hearing this and said: "Among the group of students in Jingzhou, there were only me, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others. Lu Xun entered the school later, and later attacked Xichuan. Before leading the troops to leave Jingzhou, he had a good chat with Sima Wei, and got You know how talented Lu Xun is."
Yu Yi's eyes were solemn and he sighed: "It seems that our enemy this time is not easy to deal with!"
Kong Ming shook his head and said: "Although Sun Quan's talents are average, his ability to employ people is outstanding. You see Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun are all able to employ the right people."
Yu Yi stood up and bowed, saying: "Now that the arrow is on the string, I have to shoot it to fight Soochow. Your Majesty will allocate 200,000 troops to me. I just want to recover the entire Jingzhou. As for revenge, let's do it according to our ability." "
Zhang Fei returned to Langzhong from Chengdu and ordered the entire army to raise white flags and white armor within three days, and the three armies wore Xiao to attack Soochow. On the second day, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, two military generals under the camp, entered and said: "There is no way to obtain the white flag and white armor for the moment. I hope we can have some time."
After hearing this, Zhang Fei was furious and said: "I am anxious to avenge my second brother. I wish I could attack Soochow tomorrow. How dare you disobey my order?" After saying this, he asked the soldiers to tie the two of them up. On the tree, he personally wielded the sword and whipped each person fifty times. After the beating, his anger subsided a little, and he pointed at the two of them and said, "You must complete this matter tomorrow. If the deadline is exceeded, I will kill you two immediately to show the public!"
The two were untied and beaten until their mouths were full of blood. They returned to the camp to discuss. Fan Jiang said: "Now that we have been whipped, we are only given one day. Where can we collect supplies?" If we can't hand it over tomorrow, his temper will definitely kill us."
Zhang Dadao: "When he comes to kill us, why don't we kill him first? What do you think?"
Replied: "You also know Zhang Fei's martial arts. We can't get close, how can we kill him?"
Zhang Dadao: "If the two of us are not beaten to death by him, then we will wait until he is drunk, lie on the bed, and carry out the assassination. If we do not have this luck, then it is because he is not drunk." So the two discussed the details. plan begins to be implemented.
After Zhang Fei beat the two men, he returned to his camp. Feeling in a trance and confused, he asked the generals around him, "I feel frightened and restless. What's going on?"
