Outside Zhuge Mansion.

About an hour later, on the street outside the house, two horses with white manes pulled a slightly ornate carriage slowly.

Outside the curtain in front of the carriage was a coachman about forty years old and a strong man with a dark complexion.

As for the sides of the axle, more than a dozen guards held sticks with sharp eyes, staring vigilantly at the surroundings, infinitely guarded.

Inside the car.

But there is a slightly smaller desk, and there are stacks of books on top of it, which can be described as neat, and there are also piles of chatter documents next to the neat books.

At this time, a middle-aged man who had just passed his forties, wearing a scarf on his head, and a white robe like floating snow, with upright facial features and a resolute complexion.

He was currently sitting precariously, holding a bamboo slip and intently approving the official document.

This is the core figure of the high and powerful position of Shu Han today, the military general Zhuge Liang, and the respected martial marquis for later generations.

Since the pacification of Shuzhong, Zhuge Liang's authority has been established, that is, to sit in the rear, check the household registration, allocate grain and grass, and coordinate the overall situation.

And Zhuge Liang has also been handling various affairs conscientiously for several years.

It can be seen from the fact that he is now in a carriage and meticulously handles official documents!

……

Half ringing.

"Phew!"

When they arrived at the gate of the house, the coachman roared, and the hooves of the two horses came to a slow halt in an instant.

With the force of inertia, the carriage dragged forward, and the axle stopped in front of the house without mistake.

Obviously, the coachman is extremely old.

"Hiss!"

A series of horses shouted, and they were faintly visible for miles!

After a few moments, the door slowly opened.

The previous "Xiaolin" maid also suddenly strode out, supporting Zhuge Liang, who had just stepped out of the carriage, and then fit: "Sir, General Guan is now waiting in the living room." ”

"He has something important to meet with him."

"The present lady is entertaining him."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's handsome face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, caressing the scarce long beard under his forehead, shaking his head, and saying, "Oh, Guan Ping, please see me?" ”

After thinking for a moment, he did not delay, waved his hand to signal the coachman and the guard to return, and then went to the guest room accompanied by the maid.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded heavily.

Inside the room.

At this time, Huang Yueying was on one side, and Guan Ping was also sitting opposite her, and the two stood looking at each other and chatting softly.

And at this moment, seeing Zhuge Liang slowly walking into the room, Guan Ping saw this, and hurriedly got up and bowed and saluted: "Boy Guan Ping greets Uncle Zhuge . ”

"Uncle, in recent years, is he in good health?"

After that, Zhuge Liang's eyes moved slightly, and when he saw Guan Ping's attitude of asking for peace to him so sincerely, he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

"This is Guan Ping?"

"Something is wrong."

For a moment, he didn't have to groan in the bottom of his heart.

Zhuge Liang was originally a figure with superior wisdom, but now he was vaguely aware of the changes in Guan Ping's personality.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that Guan Ping's personality seemed to have changed?

It's a bit like a person anymore!

However, although he guessed so, he was not sure.

Guan saluted, and Zhuge Liang also waved his hand to signal him to get up.

"Frankly, you're here to see me, but what's the matter?"

Hearing this, after seeing Zhuge Liang's politeness, his face became extremely serious, and he looked serious, and he also said solemnly: "Uncle, yes!" ”

"In addition to visiting my uncle, my little nephew also has important things to ask for."

"Okay."

"Yueying, you go and make a pot of tea for Ping'er and me."

After that, he raised his head and said solemnly: "Ping'er, come to the study with me." ”

"Good!"

The voice settled.

Huang Yueying slowly walked to the kitchen to make tea.

Inside the study.

Zhuge Liang and Guan equally divided the primary and secondary seats.

Subsequently, Guan Ping did not hesitate at all, and went straight to the point: "Uncle, the little nephew entered Shu this time, and he came to ask for advice, what should be the next move of my Jingzhou side?" ”

After speaking, he kept talking, and explained directly: "Uncle, you should already know that in the Jingzhou Guard Battle last year, and in the Battle of Jiaozhou at the beginning of this year, the Wu army intends to invade my Jingxiang land and sweep Jingxiang. ”

"Suo Xing, the little nephew and the generals joined forces to jointly repel the attack of the Wu army, and counterattacked and defeated it!"

"Just ......"

Speaking of this, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly worried, and said slowly: "But it should be clear that the outcome of these two battles will definitely be extremely unfavorable to our army!" ”

"As the so-called blessings and misfortunes rely on, and misfortunes and blessings ambush, although our army has repelled the Wu army again and again, it has also completely exposed the strong strength of our army to the world."

"Due to the Northern Expedition and the Cao-Wu Alliance, our army is in a two-front battle, but it can still break the coalition army and gain an advantage in the battle situation."

"It can be said that in this case, our army is strong and strong, and it is already able to resist Cao Thief, presumably Sun Quan will not be thinking about restarting the alliance with our army no matter what."

"Now under the general situation, according to the speculation of the little nephew, I am afraid that my Jingzhou side will not only suffer from Sun Wu's attack in the future, but also face the strong soldiers of Cao thieves in the north."

"Therefore, the little nephew specially came to ask my uncle."

With a word, Guan Ping slowly informed him of the cause and effect and the purpose of entering Shu.

After listening, Zhuge Liang was still swaying back and forth with a goose feather fan in his hand, with a smile on his face, smiling extremely calmly, but there was no wave on his face when he heard his plea for help!

The feather fan shook for a while, and then he smiled and asked in a deep voice: "Ping'er, in your opinion, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly had an unconventional question, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and he was immediately stunned on the spot.

After meditating for a while, he pressed his heart and said softly: "Uncle, if it is a little nephew who uses soldiers, I will fight Sun Wu in the east, Lian Shijia in the south, and Cao thief in the north." ”

In just one moment, the voice settled.

Guan Ping hadn't reacted at this time, but Zhuge Liang on the side didn't say a word, but instead smiled and swayed goose feather fan.

"Huh?"

"Uncle, did the little nephew say something wrong?"

Seeing Zhuge Liang's indifferent expression, Guan Ping couldn't help but look stunned, and was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.

After that, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and then replied gently: "Ping'er, you actually have a new strategic plan in your heart, and there is no need to ask me again!" ”

"Huh?"

"Uncle is saying that the twelve-character proverb that the little nephew said just now is Jingzhou's next new strategy?"

After speaking, Zhuge Liang's face remained unchanged, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker, slightly hooked.

Obviously, it is!

"Ping'er, in fact, your biggest problem at the moment is your lack of self-confidence."

"At this point, you are the opposite of the prince!"

At this moment, Zhuge Liang's face moved slightly, and he said loudly: "Ping'er, at present, the most important thing you should regain is self-confidence. ”

"As a general, you must have enough self-confidence, only in this way can you make a quick decision when planning multiple combat plans, otherwise you can only be like you now, knowing the correct strategic planning, but you can't make up your mind for a long time, and delay!"

"At this point, Ping'er must improve, otherwise he will hesitate and be indecisive on the battlefield, which will be a taboo for the generals."

"Confident, strong and quick decisions are the basis of a good leader."

A seat fell.

At this time, Guan Ping did not talk, but carefully recalled this remark and began to reminisce!

"Am I really lacking self-confidence?"

"Will I be indecisive?"

"It seems that yes, since I came to this era, I have always relied on my historical foresight and have always acted cautiously, and I have a lot of worries when encountering problems, which also makes it difficult for me to make a quick decision on every plan."

"Indecision is indeed a taboo in battle."

Listening to Zhuge Liang and Yan Yuese's teachings, Guan Ping couldn't help but ponder carefully.

With this thought, he discovered many problems of his own.

"Ping'er, leading the army to fight must indeed maintain a calm heart at all times, and you must not be anxious or impatient when encountering problems, and you must remain calm at all times."

"Because of impatience, you will lose yourself, and you will reveal your flaws and allow the enemy to seize the opportunity to counterattack."

"It will also make a fearless sacrifice for our sergeants, but ......"

After that, Zhuge Liang quietly opened his voice, and then said: "But, Ping'er, you have to remember that everything should be measured!" ”

"It's right to keep a steady mind and stay calm at all times, but you can't be too conservative when marching into battle, because conservative will make you hesitate and make decisions when making battle plans."

"Take your current situation, you obviously have an excellent new strategy in your heart, but because you are not confident, you don't believe that this plan can protect the safety of Jingzhou, so you can't make a decision for a long time."

"Instead, I want to go all the way into Shu, so I specially asked for advice."

"Do you think that's a flaw?"

A rhetorical question.

Guan Ping nodded again and again, indicating that he seconded the proposal.

What Zhuge Liang just said is indeed the truth.

I am too familiar with the direction of history, but I have a lot of worries in my heart, which leads to the inability to quickly decide on a strategic plan.

This should be a double-edged sword!

After these words fell, after Zhuge Liang finished enlightening Guan Ping, his face suddenly regained his composure, his eyes showed a hint of firmness, and he said sharply: "Okay, let's go back to the question just now." ”

"What you just said about the Eastern Imperial Sun Quan, the Southern Lian Shixie, and the Northern Resistance Cao Thief, can Ping'er tell me in detail about the current situation of Jingxiang?"

"Of course."

"Uncle, please wait!"

As soon as the words came out, Guan Ping groaned for a long time, organized the language, and said: "In terms of the current situation, due to the Northern Expedition last year, after the father and commander flooded the Seventh Army, the elite of the Cao Army suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the whole army was low. ”

"Not only that, but due to the siege of the city day and night, Cao Ren's subordinate system has basically been disabled!"

"Now the deployment of Cao's army in Jingxiang is also in an unprecedentedly weak state, and only Xu Huang, Man Chong and others lead 10,000 elite troops to Wancheng."

After that, he paused, glanced at Zhuge Liang, and then continued to explain: "Uncle, the southern Shijia, as early as the beginning of the year, Wu Bian's army, which had been stationed in Cangwu, coerced Shixie to send troops to invade our prefecture and county, and this was also completely defeated under the leadership of General Huang and me. ”

"The Wu army was defeated and retreated to Jiangdong territory."

"Our army took the opportunity to take over Cangwu County, and successfully forced Shi Xie to abandon his attachment to Sun Wu and instead negotiate peace with us."

"As for Jiangdong in the east, due to the previous two defeats, the rule in the territory has been unstable, and Sun Quan will no longer have the strength to invade again for at least two or three years."

"Therefore, the little nephew's plan is that Sun Wu, the Eastern Imperial Emperor, is divided into patrol guards with a small force, and he will patrol the river all day long to patrol the movement of the beacon tower along the river, and the situation of the beacon tower must be firmly controlled every day."

"Subsequently, in Jiaozhou in the south, our army can also threaten the border of Chen soldiers in Cangwu and threaten Luling and other counties in Wu at any time."

"Only in this way can our army avoid the Wu army from making small moves behind the scenes to the greatest extent when leading the Northern Expedition."

"I wonder what my uncle thinks of this?"

After that, Guan Ping thought to himself secretly and said in a deep voice.

In fact, once the Shu Han side occupied Jingzhou, it could not continue to fight Sun Quan in the east, but should be in the east.

After all, where is Jingxiang?

This is a complete occupation of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River!

It must be known that it is only a two-day effort to enter Jianye from Jiangling to the east of the river.

Jingxiang is the gateway to Jiangdong.

Shu Han occupies Jingzhou, how can Sun Quan be at ease?

In his habits, a sneak attack is a matter of time.

The reason why Guan Ping did not propose Dongyu before was not unexpected, but a matter of timing.

The time is not ripe!

There is a prerequisite for the east of the river.

That's where it all has to go.

But before the Jingzhou Garrison Battle that took place last year, they and Dongwu were equally divided into several counties of Jingzhou.

Even, large areas east of Xiangshui were under Sun Wu's rule.

It can be said that the two sides are facing each other according to the river, and the distance is extremely close.

Under such conditions, it is extremely easy for Sun Wu to sneak attack!

Because of such a short distance, and there is no buffer, it is impossible to prevent it at all!

Therefore, the strategic planning of Dongyu Jiangdong has always been hidden in Guan Ping's heart.

It was not until now that they recaptured Jingxiang County and occupied the entire Jingzhou that this plan was proposed.

Merely.

When proposing this strategy, Guan Ping's heart was also extremely worried, and he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would refuse.

After all, Dongyu Jiangdong itself is against Longzhong.

The "Longzhong pair" proposed by Zhuge Liang is Donghe Sun Quan.

Although there is only one word difference between harmony and royalty, they are two completely different concepts.

One is a sincere alliance that is united in its openness and peaceful coexistence.

The other is to have their own ghosts and guard against each other.

Of course, after Guan Ping proposed it at this time, he was also stunned by Zhuge Liang's decisiveness!

He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang didn't refuse.

He groaned for a while, as if he had already seen through Guan Ping's thoughts, he couldn't help shaking the goose feather fan, and said with a smile: "Ping'er, I guess you will be extremely confused in your heart now, right?" ”

"Donghe Sun Quan was the strategic plan I planned for the lord when I was in Longzhong, why is it easy to overthrow myself now?"

"Ping'er, you must be wondering about this question, aren't you?"

"Yes!"

"Please also ask my uncle to solve his doubts."

When the words fell, Guan Ping did not hesitate and said bluntly.

After listening, Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and whispered softly: "Ping'er, this is the general trend in the world." ”

"As a general with extremely rich combat experience, you should know that fighter planes are fleeting, and accidents can happen at any time, and as the main general at that time, you need to move according to the times, right?"

"Hmm."
