Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Kong Ming!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei found Zhuge Liang and frowned: "As you expected, Chen Mo went south." ”

Zhuge Liang is not in a hurry when he hears this, this is something that can be expected, even if Zhuge Liang has blocked the border, but it is only blocking some key roads, there are many ways to spread the news in detail, Liu Bei entered Sichuan This is a fact, and it is also imperative, otherwise only with the three counties of Jingzhou, how can he compete with Chen Mo?

This time Liu Bei went out of Sichuan, in order to prevent instability in the rear, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all stayed, and most of the generals who followed Liu Bei into Sichuan were Jingzhou generals, such as Wen Ping, Wang Wei, Kou Feng, Liu Pan, Liu Hu, in addition to Chen Zhixiang, but the strategists were mainly Chen Gong, and Zhuge Liang sat in the rear and presided over the overall situation.

"Kong Ming, you are talking! Now that the army has been taken to Xichuan by his brother, there are only 30,000 newly recruited soldiers in Jingzhou, and the news from Nanyang Xizuo, this time Chen Mo waved his troops south, and fully mobilized 500,000 troops, just rely on me and other people, how to resist!? Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Fei couldn't help but urge.

An army of 500,000 is naturally an imaginary number, Zhuge Liang nodded, looked at the two of them and smiled: "Liang is prepared, Jiangdong should be invited to help in this matter." ”

"Kong Ming......" Guan Yu frowned when he heard this: "Then Chen Mo went south this time, 500,000 should be an imaginary number, but 200,000 should be there, so powerful, Jiangdong will come to help?" ”

"The so-called cold lips and teeth, as long as Sun Quan doesn't want to surrender to Sun Ce, this favor must be helped." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh when he said this, doing this is actually a bit unauthentic, originally they were the main force against Chen Mo, and now as soon as Liu Bei leaves, it is equivalent to pulling Jiangdong over in advance to be cannon fodder for them.

But there is no way, if you don't pit Jiangdong at this time, Liu Bei will have no chance to take Shuzhong, and now Zhuge Liang's strategy is actually a bit of a table-lifting, I want Shuchuan, you still have to come to help, so when you talk to Jiangdong, your attitude must be soft, just ......

Zhuge Liang looked up at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and sighed again.

"What do you mean by this sigh!?" Zhang Fei was inexplicably looked at by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang naturally couldn't say what he thought in his heart, but he said helplessly: "If Chen Mo really sent 500,000 troops, Liang wouldn't be too worried." ”

"200,000 can't be beaten, 500,000?" Zhang Fei felt that Zhuge Liang's brain was broken.

"It is good to have more soldiers, but 500,000 troops, the consumption of grain and grass must be heavy, so Chen Mo will inevitably choose to fight quickly, it is difficult to capture in a hurry, just the loss of grain and grass is enough for him to be unsustainable, not to mention that the command of the 500,000 army is also a problem, Chen Mo is a soldier immortal alive, if he really commands an army of 500,000, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch it, the more urgent it is, the easier it is to make mistakes, and it will be difficult to take care of the many soldiers, 500,000 to attack, our army has Hanshui and Xiangfan defense, but it is easy to block." Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "However, with Chen Mo's character, as Yun Chang said, most of the 500,000 is just an imaginary number. ”

Zhang Fei grinned: "Two hundred thousand, what are our chances of winning?" ”

"If there is only our army, Yide thinks that there are a few points, then it is a few points." Zhuge Liang sighed.

I don't think I have a point, I'm going to lose!

Zhang Fei was a little irritable, no matter how reckless he was, he wouldn't think that he could win with 30,000 and 200,000, but it was Chen Mo who led the troops, he had never seen how to lose in the southern and northern wars over the years, the elite of the Guanzhong army, Zhang Fei had also experienced it last time in Nanyang.

"That's why I need to ask Jiangdong to help." Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't speak, Zhuge Liang got up with a smile and said: "Don't be anxious about the two generals, I have asked Gongyou to go to Jiangdong to ask for help, before that, I still need to win a battle!" ”

"How to fight, Kong Ming, you say!" Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Zhuge Liangdao.

"Xinye, it is the gateway to Jingxiang, Chen Mo will use this place as a camp when he goes south, and we should go to Xinye first." Zhuge Liang nodded to the map and said: "Xinye guard general Huang Li is a general under Zhang Liao, this person has a calm personality, if he is afraid of a strong attack, the damage will be heavy, and he should be lured out of the city with a plan!" ”

"How to lure?" Zhang Fei said when he heard this.

"Yide led 3,000 troops to attack Deng County, Deng County and Xinye became horns of each other, once Deng County is lost, Xinye is a lone army, Huang Li will definitely come to the rescue!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "You can order Ji Ling to lead the troops to two thousand volts on the side of Xinye, and after Huang Li leads the troops to go out, he will immediately pretend to be a Nanyang rout, defraud Xinye, and inform Ji Ling that after capturing Xinye, immediately set off wolf smoke, as long as Yide sees the wolf smoke rising here, immediately give up Deng County, attack Huang Li, and lure the defenders of Deng County out of the city, Yun Chang, you lead a thousand troops to lie in this place in advance, and when Deng County pursues Yide, you will lead your troops to kill, if you can lose and capture Deng County, it is naturally the best, if you can't, you can converge with Yide to kill Huang Li first, and then break Deng County!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded, and immediately began to point out their troops, Ji Ling was arranged to cross the Han River at night and lurk in the new field, Zhang Fei ordered all the soldiers and horses, and went to attack Deng County early the next morning, Guan Yu led an army to ambush outside Deng County.

After Huang Li learned that Deng County was attacked, as Zhuge Liang expected, he led his troops to help Deng County, Ji Ling pretended to be the defeated army of Deng County and came to Xinye shortly after Huang Li left, Xinye did not have Huang Li to preside, I don't know what to do, and finally relented and let Ji Ling enter the city, but Ji Ling took advantage of the situation to capture Xinye and set off wolf smoke to inform Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei's side was a feint attack on Deng County, after receiving the signal from Ji Ling's side, he did not hesitate to withdraw the army, and went straight to Huang Li, the two sides had a big battle on the bank of the Han River, and the Deng County guard immediately led his troops out of the city to prepare to attack Zhang Fei with Huang Li, but was killed by Guan Yu, who had already lurked on the side, in the chaos of the army, a knife will cut the Deng County guard off the horse, and defeat the Deng County defenders, after attacking Deng County, only 300 people were left in the city, and he led the troops and horses to Huang Li's rear formation.

Huang Li was outnumbered, and when he was defeated, Zhang Fei found the right time and directly killed him in the chaos, and the two cities of Xinye and Dengxian both fell!

"Bang!" Wancheng, General's Mansion, Zhang Liao received the news of the fall of Xinye and Deng County the next day, Zhang Liao slapped the bamboo note on the table, and said with a gloomy face: "Our army has not moved yet, I don't want this Jingzhou army to dare to provoke us at this time!" ”

Cui Geng looked at the letterhead on the side, thought for a while, and said: "The Jingzhou army came prepared this time, the battle of Xinye and Dengxian is interlocking, and now the two cities have been lost, and if you want to recapture it, I am afraid that you need to waste your hands and feet." ”

"Xinye is the gateway to Jingzhou, when Xinye was strong, it was to prepare for the future attack on Jingxiang, and now the lord's army has passed Yique, and it is coming soon, at this time Xinye has been lost, and the war has not yet begun, our army has lost its sharpness first!" Zhang Liao frowned and said: "Deng County can be left alone, but Xinye must be recaptured!" ”

"Newspaper~"

At this moment, a general rushed over, bowed outside the door and said, "General, the front line is urgent." ”

"What?" Zhang Liao asked.

"After the Jingzhou army broke through Xinye, all the people of the two counties were moved out, and now the two counties are being strengthened." The general bowed.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Explore again!" ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Liao turned his head, looked at Cui Geng and said, "Bolun is guarding here, and I should personally go to attack Xinye." ”

"That Zhuge Liang is scheming, the general should be very careful." Cui Geng instructed.

"Rest assured." Zhang Liao nodded and shouted outside the door: "Zhu Sheng! ”

"The last general!" Zhu Sheng strode in and bowed to Zhang Liao.

"With your 3,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, set off immediately and rush to Xinye, and I will personally raise troops and then arrive!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"The last general commands!" Zhu Sheng nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

On the other side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ji Ling not only easily broke through Xinye with Zhuge Liang's strategy, but also ambushed and killed nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang, but their own losses were less than two percent of the opponent's, which can be described as a big victory, but after the war, Zhuge Liang personally rushed to Xinye to set up defenses.

"Kong Ming, why are you here in person? Although this new field is down, Zhang Liao will not give up, and the next thing is the big war! Zhang Feile looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled.

"The goal has been achieved, if Zhang Liao comes, its momentum will inevitably be fierce, Xinye Town, insufficient defense, should withdraw immediately!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Guan Zhang Ji and the others were stunned when they heard this, and Ji Ling glared and said, "Military Division, this city that was finally conquered is just like this?" So why are we attacking the city? ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Attacking Xinye is to destroy Chen Mo's foothold here, now that Xinye has been broken, and if we fight Zhang Liao here, no matter whether we win or lose, our army will suffer heavy losses." ”

"How can there be immortals in war?" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.

"If you defend Xiangfan, you will break 1,000 enemies and lose 200 yourself, and if you defend Xinye, you will break 1,000 enemies and lose 800." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Yide thinks, how to keep it?" ”

"There is no reason to give away the city that has just been built." Zhang Fei said with a depressed face.

"Naturally not, I brought a lot of fire-burning things this time, and after the army withdrew, I spread the fire-burning things all over the city, and when the enemy army came in, I set fire to the city!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "You can also defeat the enemy for a while." ”

The third general looked at Zhuge Liang with a shocked face when he heard this, this Kong Ming looked at Si Swenwen, but he was ruthless enough.

"Hurry up and arrange for the soldiers to move the people, we must move all the people of Xinye before the enemy army arrives!" Zhuge Liang didn't want to explain too much, winning three games in a row was enough for Jiangdong to see their strength, and when the time came, the two sides would cooperate, so that Jiangdong would not feel at a loss, this war was originally launched to achieve political goals, and now the goal is almost over, so naturally there is no need to fight Zhang Liao here.

When the three of them heard this, they went to prepare, and when Zhu Sheng led the vanguard to Xinye, Xinye was already an empty city, Zhu Sheng didn't know what was wrong, and after entering the city rashly, he was trapped by the people left by Zhuge Liang with a fire, three thousand vanguard troops, and Zhu Sheng escaped, less than a thousand, Xinye was burned down, and the battle of Xinye also ended with the destruction of Xinye City.
