Chapter 8: Heart-to-heart talk before the battle
As soon as the words fell, Lu Chang's eyes suddenly drifted to a dense forest in the distance, only to see the birds in the forest hovering in the sky.
Seeing this, Lu Chang was shocked at first, and then understood, and said secretly: "The soldiers have a saying: the birds in the forest hover in the sky without falling, and there are ambushes in the forest nine times out of ten, it seems that this is really Guan Ping's strategy to lure the enemy!" ”
Lu Chang was already extremely cautious, and now that the matter has been confirmed, it is even more impossible to go out of the city to fight, and then he waved his hand to stop the discussion among the people, shouting: "It is inevitable that the city will be lost, and the county guard has decided to stick to the city and ignore it!" ”
When the words fell, the sergeant at the head of the city showed a look of loss, and Li Ji next to him was full of resentment, staring at Le Qi on the other side, his eyes were extremely unkind.
As for Le Qi, his face was calm, without the slightest joy that the plan had been adopted, and his expression was calm and calm.
"Brother Wenda, you are wise, you have made outstanding achievements, and you are highly valued by the King of Wei, but why is Ji'er not half capable of you, and acting so impatiently?"
Lu Chang sighed softly, looked at the expression of Le Qi from the side, and couldn't help but shake his head.
There is no comparison between Li Ji and Le Qi at all!
Li Ji is the son of Li Tong, after Li Tong died of illness at that time, because Lu Chang had a good relationship with him, he adopted Li Ji and taught him personally.
It's just that more than ten years have passed, although Li Ji has inherited the mantle of Li Tong and has outstanding bravery, he is extremely impatient.
On the other hand, Le Jin's son Le Qi is not only calm and capable in his daily life, but also specializes in the art of war, and he also has independent thinking in combat.
"As expected, Le Qi will be a general in the future!"
At this moment, Lu Chang weighed and compared in his heart, paused, and said secretly: "Brother Wenda, Ling Zichang can only be like this, as for his future achievements, it can only depend on himself." ”
Outside the city
After waiting for a long time, seeing that the gate of Xiangyang City was still closed, Guan Ping already knew it, and couldn't help but smile even more, and laughed: "I was originally a warrior who dared to fight in the Cao army, but the result was beyond my expectations. ”
"This is the elite who dominates the world, it is clearly a soldier who is greedy for life and afraid of death, just with such a soldier, he dares to compete with my army, it is really beyond his strength!"
"The Great Han will win!"
In the last sentence, Guan Ping roared out from the heart, resounding inside and outside the city, extremely shocking.
At this moment, Deng Ai also understood Guan Ping's intentions, this was to make the generals provoke the enemy, and he did not hesitate to figure it out, waving the war knife in his hand, and shouting: "Down with the Cao thief, Kuang Fu Han Dynasty." ”
"Fight Cao thief, Kuang Dahan!"
With Deng Ai's encouragement, more than 100 soldiers behind him suddenly roared, and the roar was shocking, and at this time, the morale of the Cao soldiers on the city began to float and decline.
Seeing that his people's hearts were gradually unstable, Lu Chang also began to feel anxious in his heart, but after he knew that there were ambushes outside the city, he did not dare to send his soldiers out of the city to fight, but at this moment he was in a dilemma.
"County guard, the Jingzhou army is so deceitful too much, are you still ready to bear it, look at the military spirit of our army, if you don't send troops, you don't need him to attack the city, our army will collapse."
At this time, Li Ji continued to stand up and persuade him, and his face was full of excitement, and he asked him to fight.
Hearing this, Lu Chang did not immediately refuse at this moment, but began to weigh whether he should go out of the city or not, and there were several chances of winning in the field battle.
Seeing Lu Chang's hesitation on his face, he couldn't help but be anxious from the bottom of his heart, and immediately gave up his hand to persuade: "County guard, the situation of our army is already unfavorable now, plus the Jingzhou army has just achieved a great victory, and it is at a time when the morale of the army is rising. ”
"On the other hand, our army, these more than 4,000 people have been stubbornly holding on to Xiangyang all the year round, neglecting the battle formation, and the stubbornness is acceptable, and the field battle will never be able to defeat the Jingzhou army."
"This is Guan Ping's radical method, and I hope the county guard will think twice!"
In the last words, the pressure of Le Qi's voice was extremely low, and he was afraid that the voice would leak and affect the morale of the army.
But Li Ji, who was on the side, heard these words word for word, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Leqi, don't be alarmist, our army is all the elite of a hundred battles who once followed the King of Wei and conquered various places, how can they be compared with the southern barbarians?" ”
"Your father fought fiercely and made great achievements, but you hesitated and delayed the fighter, but you don't have your father's demeanor."
"Li Ji, you ......"
"Okay, shut up, the county guard has a plan!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Lu Chang's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he shouted angrily.
Immediately, Lu Chang said in a loud voice: "This county has an order, the whole army will stick to the city, no one is allowed to speak, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
commanded, although the generals and soldiers in the army were not satisfied, but no one was speechless, even Li Ji, who had been asking for battle, did not dare to speak.
Military orders are not child's play!
Seeing this, Le Qi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that because of this political disagreement, it led to unstable morale and mutual suspicion of each other.
Outside the city, Guan Ping saw that Lu Chang not only did not lead the army out of the city, but strengthened the garrison at the head of the city, so he knew Lu Chang's determination.
"Alas, it seems that Lu Chang's heart is really extraordinary, and he acts so well."
After finishing speaking, Guan Ping felt the ancient book in his mind with his mind, but he was disappointed that the plan to watch the fire from the other side was still gray and could not be implemented.
Originally, when the ancient book was activated, Guan Ping was extremely happy, thinking that it could be implemented at any time, but after the experiment, he realized that this plan could not be implemented at all time, but that it could only be implemented if it reached that specific stage.
To put it simply, there is not always a suitable opportunity to implement the strategy, and it is more necessary for Guan Ping to personally guide the battle situation, create the right opportunity, and implement the strategy.
This is the correct way to use the ancient book "Thirty-six Strategies".
"However, now after my provocation, the soldiers in the city are already dissatisfied, right?"
"Then, I'm going to add fire next, I don't believe it, can you Lu Chang still be able to calm down?"
His thoughts flashed away, Guan Ping suddenly returned to reality, and said loudly: "Deng Ai, arrange the things that the general has prepared, and invite General Pang to come over." ”
"No!"
Hearing Guan Ping's military order, Deng Ai immediately began to start arranging, and in an instant, he saw more than a dozen soldiers carrying a large piece of futon forward and starting to spread it next to Guan Ping.
After the futon was spread, some soldiers placed the wine and food they had prepared on the futon, arranged them in turn, and then returned to continue the formation.
Seeing that Pang De had been escorted up, Guan Ping jumped off the war horse in an instant, bowed to Pang De, and arched his hand: "General Pang, if it is still early today, you and I have not eaten!" ”
"Why don't you take advantage of the bright sun to eat here, please be seated!"
Hearing this, Pang De had countless questions in his mind at the moment, eating here, this is Xiangyang City, what kind of joke are you making.
However, after thinking for a while, he didn't guess what Guan Ping meant, and Pang De simply didn't guess, so he stepped forward and sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to gobble it up.
Whoever cares, since you've prepared food, eat your fill first!
At this moment, this is what Pound thinks in his heart.
Seeing this, Guan Ping showed a thick smile and said secretly: "Pang De, Pang De, you have finally fallen into the trap, this time, you don't want to be loyal to Cao Cao." ”
Immediately, Guan Ping also stepped forward, walked opposite Pound, and also sat down with paint, eating with him.
This scene, I'm afraid it's unprecedented, a general and a general, actually eating under the enemy city, is still so happy!
