129. [126] Burning

Shen Xian's ideas have always been unreliable and dangerous, the last time she had an idea was when she pretended to be a maid to go to Shouchun to catch Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, although in the end Shen Xian successfully swallowed half of Jingzhou, and there was not much loss, but the process seemed to others to be full of twists and turns, and it was best not to try to stimulate the fragile little hearts of the strategists for the second time.

But Diao Chan's time with Shen Xian is still short, she doesn't know at all that the lord is sometimes a cheat, seeing Shen Xian say so seriously and swearing, Diao Chan's confidence in her will rise.

Diao Chan asked, "Does the lord have any plans?" ”

Shen Xian was choked slightly, because her idea was really not a strategy, but the words had already been spoken, and it was not good to regret it on the spot, so Shen Xian could only stubbornly say: "During this time, the defense of Caifu must be very tight, and there is a danger that you will fall into the enemy formation if you rush forward, it is better to wait until the day when the eldest brother and Ziyi lead the troops to attack the city, the city will definitely be chaotic, and we will take the opportunity to save people, and the chances of victory will be much greater." ”

Shen Xian looked at Diao Chan's thoughtful expression and continued: "Ziyi has already led his troops to camp nearby for a long time, I wrote a letter to Fengxiao two days ago ordering them to prepare for an attack, and when their reply is sent, it will take less than five days at most for the army to attack. ”

Diao Chan finally nodded: "Okay, just do what the lord says." ”

Shen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, if Diao Chan wanted to continue to insist, he would break into Cai's Mansion now to save people...... Then she had to accompany her.

Shen Xian said firmly, but in the next few days, she became more and more anxious, because Guo Jia's reply had not been delivered, and none of the two Si Liwei sent by Shen Xian had returned.

This is not normal at all, even if the general is not subject to foreign military orders, then Guo Jia should at least send a letter to Shen Xian to inform him that he does not agree to attack, instead of having no news at all, and now this situation makes it seem that the entire army stationed in Dangyang City has disappeared completely, which is terrifying when you think about it.

Diao Chan also saw Shen Xian's uneasiness, and she hesitated for a long time before asking: "Lord, has the situation changed outside?" ”

Shen Xian thought to herself, how do I know? She took a deep breath, took Diao Chan's arm and slowly stood up and walked outside: "I don't know, but we can't wait like this any longer." ”

"My lord?" Diao Chan had a bad premonition in his heart: "You want to ...... Do what? ”

"Send someone to ask Zhang Ziqiao about Liu Jingsheng's situation," Shen Xian called all the Si Liwei and began to assign tasks: "Let's see how long he can live." ”

As long as Liu Biao is still alive, the Cai family will not dare to openly attack Liu Qi, and Jia Xu will be safe. As for how long Liu Biao can live, Shen Xian doesn't have much hope for him, after all, two days ago, Zhang Song secretly handed over a message that "Liu Biao is critically ill but has been rescued". Judging from the situation described by Zhang Song, Liu Biao will go to heaven if he tosses it two more times.

"As for your ......" Shen Xian looked up at Diao Chan, she subconsciously pressed her stomach: "How is the situation in Xiangyang City?" ”

Diao Chan had turned around Xiangyang City a few days ago in order to find out Jia Xu's whereabouts, and she had the bottom in her heart, and immediately said: "Liu Jingsheng sent two-thirds of his troops to be stationed outside the city to guard against our army in Dangyang; After Cai Deqi took over the military power, he ordered to continue to carry out Liu Jingsheng's orders, but took a thousand people from the city defense army, and the whereabouts of these people are currently unknown. ”

Shen Xian frowned slightly: "Where is Liu Jingsheng's grain and grass?" ”

Diao Chan was stunned for a moment and slowly shook his head.

"Send someone to ask Zhang Ziqiao, but I think he may not know." Shen Xian swept all the things on the table to the ground, and she took out a map of Xiangyang City from the bottom and rolled it up and hid it in her sleeve: "Prepare the car, I want to go out." ”

Although Cai Mao has recently blocked Nanyang, fortunately he has only strictly checked the people who enter and exit, and walking between the various counties in Nanyang is not too restricted, so Shen Xian can still safely go out of the city to the countryside to find Zhuge Liang.

Since being hunted down with Huang Yueying that day, Zhuge Liang has recently reduced a lot of activities, such as farming, which makes many little girls who like to watch him farm and lick his face very sad. But Zhuge Liang didn't care about this, life was the most important, he thought about it and felt that he should listen to Shen Xian's words and stop running around.

During Zhuge Liang's retreat and study, Pang Tong secretly came over to see him in the middle of the night, and after seeing that Zhuge Liang was fine, Pang Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was punished for copying the Analects at home." Pang Tong's tone was very annoyed: "I blame me for this, I said it was I who leaked my mouth." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't raise his head and said, "Don't take the mistake on yourself." ”

"Actually, I want to help Lord Liu," Pang Tong pretended not to hear Zhuge Liang's words, and he continued, "but she said that I just need to protect myself." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded: "He's right. ”

"But I can really help!" Pang Tong rubbed to Zhuge Liang's side, and he said in a low voice: "Do you know where the grain and grass in Xiangyang are placed?" ”

Zhuge Liang's hand flipping through the book paused, and after a moment, he slowly looked up at Pang Tong.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang finally took care of himself, Pang Tong was very pleased, he ran to the door and the window to check to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then said: "You also know that Cai Deqi went to chat with my uncle when he had nothing to do recently, and he looked like he wanted to invite his old man out of the mountain, has the teacher also been harassed?" ”

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly: "Yes, Mr. is tireless, so he took the boy into the mountains to collect medicine, and he will not come back in a short time." ”

"I don't think Cai Dejun came to invite my uncle for Jingsheng Gong at all," Pang Tong pouted: "He just wants to do it for himself." ”

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "Nanyang's military power is in the hands of the Cai family. ”

"So the Cai family wants to take the opportunity to usurp power?" Pang Tong smiled: "It's a pity that the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind." ”

Although Zhuge Liang didn't want to be a leader in a short period of time, he also agreed with Pang Tong's choices and ideas in his heart. Now Nanyang is clearly unable to hold it, not to mention that Liu Biao is seriously ill, Liu Qi and Liu Cong are fighting to the death for the succession, and at the same time, the Cai family is still eyeing the opportunity to take the throne, even if their forces are united, they can't stop Shen Xian's tens of thousands of troops from rumbling over, and it is only a matter of time before they are captured.

"But my lord has been in some trouble recently," Pang Tong changed his words: "The Jia Wenhe who came with her was taken away and locked up by the Cai family. ”

Of course, Zhuge Liang had heard of Jia Xu's name, and Jia Xu was one of the few people he admired. Although Jia Xu seems to be ruthless and has no discipline, he can walk safely on stilts in many forces, and finally shake everyone up and get out of the way, which is indeed admirable.

It would be a pity if such a person folded in Xiangyang.

So Zhuge Liang finally became a little interested, and he got straight to the point: "Let's be straight, what do you want to do with me?" ”

"Wait a minute," Pang Tong blinked, "If I can help the adult solve this crisis, will she be able to see my talent and reuse me?" ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while: "Yes." ”

After all, Jia Xu showed his strength by pitting Shen Xian, and then he was not liquidated by Shen Xian, but got a high status in Yizhou, which shows that Shen Xian is not a cautious person, on the contrary, she is very open-minded.

Zhuge Liang asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Pang Tong patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder: "Grain and grass." ”

Since Shen Xian beat Liu Biao to only Nanyang County, Liu Biao there is an extreme shortage of food, but the house leak coincided with overnight rain, Nanyang was flooded in May this year, only Xiangyang was completely spared, Fancheng next door was flooded into the sea, and other counties also suffered losses in different ways, and a lot of immature grain was blistered and could not grow at all. The rest of the grain and grass had to supply both the army and the people, which was not enough at all, so Liu Biao had to send someone to Si Li to ask Yuan Shao for help and borrow food.

Yuan Shao was very generous, and lent Liu Biao a lot of grain and grass, but their secrecy work was not in place, and during the transportation, Mrs. Qingxuan, who was bored and came to the wind, led people to attack and sneak attack, although in the end the grain and grass were still sent to Nanyang, but they lost a lot, and the rest was only a drop in the bucket.

Originally, the grain and grass in Xiangyang City were not enough to eat, and the treasure had to be like gold, if even the remaining grain and grass were burned to the ground at this time......

It's definitely going crazy at a pace.

Zhuge Liang felt that Pang Tong's idea was very good, but it was a little unrealistic. Although Shen Xian did not tell them the true situation, after analyzing it, Zhuge Liang felt that she must not have many people in Nanyang, at least not to the point where she could attack the granary. Even if Pang Tong told Shen Xian the specific location of the grain and grass, Shen Xian couldn't sneak attack, could she still set fire to it single-handedly?

As soon as Zhuge Liang wanted to pour cold water on Pang Tong, he heard Pang Tong continue: "We can send the news of the location of the grain and grass out of the city and send it to Lord Liu's army in Dangyang......

That's right! Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, it was his limitations, what Shen Xian couldn't do alone, it didn't mean that the army under her couldn't do it. If Guo Jia sent a team of people to blatantly attack in the direction of grain and grass at this time, do you say that after receiving the news from Xiangyang, Cai Mao will save it?

Don't save? No matter how many soldiers guarding the grain and grass are, there is no more than Shen Xian's army, and when the grain and grass are collected, the soldiers of Nanyang will wait to drink the northwest wind.

Save? Originally, there were not many soldiers and horses in Nanyang, and then they divided their troops to save grain and grass, once Xiangyang's troops were weakened, Guo Jia would definitely send people to take the opportunity to attack the city.

No matter what Cai Mao chooses, this is an unsolvable dead end.

So, who mentioned yì to hide the grain and grass outside the city? Is it really not an undercover agent sent by the enemy?

Zhang Song, who is still working as an undercover agent in the state pastoral office, said that he has hidden his merits and fame. Although Liu Biao did not trust the specific location of the grain and grass in Sue SΓΉ, he adopted the construction of the grain and grass that he hid in a secret place, which can be regarded as a little success.

"It's doable." Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows: "But how are you going to find Lord Liu?" ”

Shen Xian's whereabouts are kept secret very well, and she has always gone to play with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but others don't know where she lives.

Pang Tong was choked by Zhuge Liang's words.

At this moment, a chuckle came from outside the door, Shen Xian opened the curtain and walked in, she smiled at the stunned Zhuge Liang and the not too surprised Pang Tong: "It seems that I came at the right time?" ”
