Chapter 945: The Battle of Red Cliffs (14)
Xu Shu's intention to go the opposite way, but Liu Bei was able to understand it. It can be seen that Liu Bei's IQ is still very strong.
Liao Li and the other strategists really didn't know what Xu Shu was thinking, was this posture going to raid Jiangling according to the previous plan? Could it be that Liu Jun had an arrangement in Jiangling that Xu Shu was aware of?
What is Xu Shu's intention? In fact, it was very simple, he had already calculated that Zhuge Liang had arranged an ambush on the Jiangling side. Zhuge Liang's style of acting, Xu Shu is clear, the use of strategies is all joyful, the previous ambush of Lu Bu and Guan Yu is to make Xu Shu change his strategy, if Xu Shu really changes his strategy, then he will really fall for Zhuge Liang's tricks.
After Liu Bei's assassination last time, Xu Shu knew that Liu Yu was jealous of Liu Bei, so Liu Yu would definitely explain that Zhuge Liang must destroy Liu Bei. If Jiangdong and Liu Bei have the advantage now, and Liu Jun is defeated and flees, Xu Shu's previous strategy can be used with confidence. It's just that the current situation is clear, that is, Zhuge Liang has seen through Jiangdong and his own plans, and everything is under Zhuge Liang's control. Xu Shu could only lament that he had done so much, but he was still no match for Zhuge Liang. No, it should be said that it is Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. After thinking about it like this, Xu Shu's heart felt much better. After all, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others are all friends, and there was competition between them many years ago, and Xu Shu is acceptable to lose to two people.
Liu Bei's army turned the bow of the ship and marched towards the Hanjin Pass according to Xu Shu's instructions.
Liu Bei and Xu Shu stood on the bow of the boat, and the two looked ahead together. Everyone else didn't dare to approach, from the posture of Liu Bei and Xu Shu, they knew that there was something secret between the two to say, and they didn't see Wei Yan being called by Liu Bei, where did others dare to approach.
There were only Liu Bei and Xu Shu around, and Liu Bei gently asked Xu Shu: "Military advisor, is there really a way to go west?" ”
"My lord, the situation has changed. Liu Yu has steadily occupied Jingzhou, and Jiangdong Sun Ce has also failed, I am afraid that Liu Yu will make a move on Jiangdong next. If we don't take advantage of the fact that Liu Yu hasn't noticed the west now, let's go immediately, I'm afraid there will be another incident, and then the lord will be in danger. Xu Shu said.
Westbound? That's right, Xu Shu's plan this time is to go to Yizhou.
Liu Zhang didn't know which tendon was wrong in his brain, so he actually asked his son-in-law to invite Liu Bei to enter Yizhou. Fortunately, Liu Bei agreed at that time, but now the situation is very unfavorable for Liu Bei, and Xu Shu just let Liu Bei take the opportunity to enter Yizhou. As long as the plan is done properly, Yizhou, the country of abundance, will become Liu Bei's territory, and Liu Bei will be able to divide one side.
It's just a separation. If you want to dominate the world according to Shuzhong like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Xu Shu thinks it is impossible.
When Liu Bei heard Xu Shu's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had asked people to go to Yizhou to arrange it before, which seemed to be a very wise choice. Liu Bei suddenly thought that he had been constantly fleeing for most of his life, from Hebei to Xuzhou, from Xuzhou to Yuzhou, from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, Jingzhou to Jiangdong, and now to Yizhou in the west.
Somehow, maybe because of his age, Liu Bei suddenly felt that if he continued like this, he would be really tired of living, and said with emotion: "I don't know where I should go if I don't have Yizhou." Maybe I should really give up everything and be a rich man with peace of mind. ”
"The Lord shall not utter such a discouraged word." Xu Shu didn't expect Liu Bei to have such an idea, and said: "The lord is the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, after King Jing of Zhongshan, the hegemony of Kuangfu Han has not been completed, if the lord lets go of everything, where will we go?" From the day we followed the lord, we were ready to die in the service of the lord, and we were ashamed and indignant when the lord said such a discouraged word. I beseech the Lord not to say anything that would grieve us in the future. ”
Xu Shu is pretending, Liu Bei said that if he was so depressed, he must have seen the dismal end of his future after this loss. Xu Shu can't let Liu Bei be like this, if Liu Bei is like this in the future, how can Xu Shu realize the ambition in his heart. From the beginning of Xu Shu's follower to Liu Bei, he wanted to let the world know that Xu Shu was a rare wise man in the world. It's a pity that now Xu Shu feels that he still can't prove himself, at least there are still many people in this world who are better than him, such as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who have calculated almost everything.
Liu Bei didn't expect Xu Shu to be so nervous and excited, so he immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "Hehe, it was just a momentary angry talk just now, Yuan Zhi must not take it to heart." ”
Xu Shu pretended to be relaxed and said, "We believe that the lord will definitely be able to help the Han." This is also the great wish of us to follow the Lord. ”
The two stopped talking and looked at the scenery in the distance, but now that the night was dark and windy, there was nothing to see at all.
Liu Beijun has now changed his strategy, and Sun Ce has been constantly retreating.
Sun Ce retreated all the way, and on the way sent a large number of soldiers to convey his orders to other troops who were still trying to expand their advantage. The Jiangdong troops, led by Cheng Pu, were all under Sun Ce's orders.
Originally, they were all enjoying this big battle very much, and it was rare for Jiangdong to win so happily once. But the sudden killing of a lot of Liu Jun from Liu Jun's camp surprised them. But they felt that there was a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and although Liu Jun was about to fail, there was still a necessary resistance, and they didn't care.
Cheng Pu and the others did not find that the number of Liu Jun was increasing, and the situation was reversing. And at this time, Sun Ce's order to them to retreat arrived.
"Why retreat?" Many generals, including Cheng Pu, don't understand.
But in the end, these generals found that the number of Liu troops was many times greater than just now, and the casualties under their own command had become very serious. This situation shows that their previous situation was all deliberately released by Liu Jun, and now it is the last link of Liu Jun's plan, which is a hard blow to Jiangdong's side.
It's a bit late to realize that now. The three-way counterattack force arranged by Pang Tong has begun to exert its might.
Zhang He and Wen Ping each took their subordinates to the north and south directions, and pounced on the Jiangdong Army like hungry wolves. However, because the Jiangdong Army was expanding its superiority, its forces were very scattered, and they were broken by Zhang He and Wen Ping one by one. Zhang He led the main force of the Liu Army in the Central Plains, and he was accustomed to this kind of counterattack. But Wenpin is different, his subordinates are all troops from Jingzhou, and they were all bullied by the Jiangdong Army before. Now that they have turned over and become masters, they can finally kill the Jiangdong Army who had been bullying them all the time very neatly.
"Dog's day Koto dog, weren't you crazy before!"
"Come on, bully Lao Tzu like before."
The soldiers in Jingzhou are constantly releasing the depression in their hearts like above, and the anger of many years broke out at this moment.
The soldiers are like this, not to mention the chief general. Wen Ping is a general in Jingzhou, and his martial arts are very good, but he has not been reused, and he has experienced a lot of defeats. Now that he has arrived at the imperial court, Wenpin has been reused by Zhuge Liang, and he can perform well this time.
The morale of his subordinates was high, but Wen Ping felt that this was not enough, and shouted: "Kill Lao Tzu!" Let Your Majesty and all of you all see how powerful our Jingzhou men are, and they can't lose to others! ”
Yes, how can the men of Jingzhou lose to others, the allies of the Central Plains are all watching from the side. Why do you want to watch them, it is nothing more than worrying that Jingzhou's troops will be counterattacked by the Jiangdong Army, which will lead to a bad situation.
As soon as he thought of this, the soldiers from Jingzhou broke out, and they didn't want to be looked down upon.
Jiangdong Jun was also depressed, the troops wearing the armor and clothing of the Jingzhou Army in front of him actually had such great power, could it be that Liu Jun in the Central Plains changed his armor. Obviously, this is not necessary.
The Jiangdong Army was so scattered that it was constantly pressed and beaten by Zhang He and Wen Ping.
After the soldier's return, Sun Ce knew the current situation, and his heart was very anxious, so he said: "Hold high the banner of this general, and let all the troops move closer to this general." ”
"Bo Fu, this will attract Liu Jun's attention." Zhou Yu hurriedly said.
"There's no time, if we continue like this, our troops will be all finished." Sun Ce didn't care about his own danger, he was most worried about how many of his troops would be left.
Zhou Yu understood Sun Ce's intentions, so he agreed to Sun Ce's method.
As soon as Sun Ce's banner was erected, all the surrounding troops could see it. Jiangdong Jun was overjoyed and immediately moved closer to Sun Ce's direction.
Dian Wei and Zhang Fei were originally looking for Sun Ce's traces, but the battlefield was so chaotic that Dian Wei and Zhang Fei couldn't find Sun Ce for a while, and they were worried. I never thought that Sun Ce would put up all the banners by himself, how could he let go of such a good goal.
"Evil, Sun Ce is there!" Zhang Fei said happily.
"I saw it. Now you can't let Sun Ce's kid run away. Brothers, kill me! Dian Wei quickly rushed towards Sun Ce's location and threw Zhang Fei down.
Zhang Fei was a little annoyed, hurriedly followed, and shouted: "Dian Wei, you kid is stealing again!" ”
After catching up with Dian Wei, Zhang Fei said: "This time Sun Ce is mine, you can't rob me." ”
"Let's kill Sun Ce." Dian Wei would not agree to Zhang Fei's request.
A large part of the scattered Jiangdong Army joined Sun Ce.
The veteran Cheng Pu came to Sun Ce with a dusty face and said, "Lord, why has the situation changed so much? ”
"Demou, we've got a plan. Zhuge Liang had already calculated all this, and he was his bait in the serial warship, which was to lure our army to come, and now he will retreat immediately. Sun Ce said very quickly.
Cheng Pu's brain was a little sluggish, Jiangdong was calculated, and defeating Liu Jun came to naught.
The generals around Cheng Pu hurriedly supported him, and they were worried that Cheng Pu would not be able to stand the stimulation and fall. Sun Ce looked heartbroken, he knew that Cheng Pu had worked for the Sun family for so many years, just to see the Sun family revive and become the strongest prince in the world. I thought that this dream was about to come true, but the reality was so cruel.
"It's okay!" Cheng Pu doesn't need support from others, he is not that old.
Cheng Pu calmly said to Sun Ce: "Lord, there is nothing to fail for a while. When the old lord was alive, he didn't experience countless defeats. Today's failure, let's get it back in the future. ”
"Demou, I won't let you down." Sun Ce was very moved by Cheng Pu's persuasion, this is the most loyal person to the Sun family.
Dian Wei and Zhang Fei had already reached the edge of the Jiangdong Army and launched a terrible massacre.
"Sun Ce Xiaoer, don't run away, I want to kill you!" Dian Wei shouted loudly as he brandished his halberd.
And Zhang Fei even scolded: "Sun Ce, you shrunken turtle." Are you going to retract your shell now? If you have the guts, come out, I Zhang Fei let a hand! Look at how powerful you are as a little bully. ”
Zhang Fei's words are a bit too arrogant, let alone Sun Ce, even Cheng Pu, an elderly person, can't stand it.
"The shaft is so arrogant!" Cheng Pu was about to rush out and fight with Zhang Fei.
Zhou Yu stopped and said, "Virtue and justice, don't fall for it." For the sake of the future, it is necessary to evacuate immediately. ”
In fact, Zhou Yu is very anxious in his heart now, since Zhuge Liang can calculate Jiangdong's attack, then there must be a situation in Chibi, Zhou Yu really can't imagine that if it is really as he thinks, Sun Ce can accept this blow.
But this must not be said now, saying it will break the morale of the entire Jiangdong Army in an instant, and Liu Jun will solve them with great ease.
At the same time, the Jiangdong army continued to move closer to Sun Ce, but the attacks of Dian Wei and Zhang Fei were even more fierce.
"Withdraw! Don't stay long! Sun Ce decisively gave the order.
If you continue to stay now, it will not only be Zhang Fei and Dian Wei's troops, maybe Zhang He and Wen Ping's troops will be killed, and then it will be troublesome.
"Lord, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei are at war with our brothers." What Cheng Pu meant was that these brothers could not give up.
Sun Ce felt a pain in his heart, he knew what Cheng Pu meant, but now he had to leave here, so he said: "The strong man broke his wrist!" ”
After saying this, Sun Ce went straight to his fleet and withdrew.
Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce had grown a lot, and now Sun Ce was already a qualified prince.
Cheng Pu was very entangled, he knew that Sun Ce was right, but the Sun family had never given up on the precedent of brothers, and now they actually want to do this, they don't know what it will be like in the future.
Sun Ce was absolutely unwilling to retreat like this, but the situation simply couldn't let him force himself, and if he didn't give up the soldiers who fought with Dian Wei Zhang Fei, more soldiers would be killed by Liu Jun.
Sun Ce can still choose such gains and losses.
