When the situation was reversed, but Zhou Yu wanted to do something to save the situation.

There is one more person who is not idle either.

This man has strength, but he is ignored by both the enemy and the enemy.

This person is Cheng Yang's Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang and Li Zhengtun soldiers of nearly 10,000 people were in Chengyang, garrisoning military food and materials, waiting for Guan Yu to come back, and the front line could have money and food.

Otherwise, if Zhuge Liang escaped at that time, this batch of money and grain could only be burned.

This money and grain is not a small number, but a large number. From this point of view, Zhuge Liang and Li have made great contributions.

But after that, Zhuge Liang and Li Zheng did nothing. The Guan family didn't expect Zhuge Liang to have any effect, and it would be very good to keep Cheng Yang.

And the Jiangdong forces also dealt with Zhuge Liang, and used Zhou Tai's troops outside Chengyang City to monitor. As long as the stalemate continues, Zhuge Liang, Li Zheng and the population in Chengyang County will eat up the grain and collapse without a fight.

And attacking Chengyang is too risky, and it may cost 10,000 or 20,000 dead and wounded. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in the north, and the Jiangdong people did not choose to take risks.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Li Zheng were selectively ignored by the two forces.

And what about Zhuge Liang?

He recruited strong men in the city, trained new soldiers, and strengthened the defenses. Minimize military and civilian rations so that food can last longer.

It looks like he's staying quietly and doesn't want to cause trouble.

But Zhuge Liang is actually a person who can cause trouble.

When Liu Qi fled and Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to occupy Anlu and cut off Jingzhou, which was also a strategy to seize the city and enrich itself, and successfully opened up a Jiangxia stronghold for the Guan family.

Then he recruited Jiang Wan as the long history and recruited Chen Lan and Lei Xu, which greatly increased the strength of Jiangxia. also fought with Cao Jun's 50,000 elite soldiers, and was almost knocked to the ground.

But God let Zhuge Liang survive, and after Zhuge Liang was there, he led 4,000 elite soldiers to the west and reached Chengyang, until now the situation has become like this.

No matter what point of view, Zhuge Liang has played a huge role.

At such a time when the situation is reversed, doesn't Zhuge Liang want to do something?

At present, there are many heads of the Guan family, Guan Yu is leading the Xiangfan forces, Guan Ping is leading the Zigui forces, Ma Liang is leading the Jingnan forces, and Jiang Wan is leading the Anlu forces.

All parties and leaders did not want Zhuge Liang to play any role. But the news still came, and the news from all over the world continued to gather into Zhuge Liang's hands.

Zhuge Liang is well aware of the development of the situation.

This afternoon.

The sun was shining, dyeing Chengyang Chengchi golden. The Zhou Tai camp in the west of the city is impregnable. Zhou Tai has been sitting here for several months, so he naturally repaired the camp extremely strongly.

For the soldiers, this is also to recuperate, so the morale is very high. To be honest, with Zhuge Liang, Li Zheng's troops, even if there are nearly 10,000 people, if they want to attack the Zhou Tai camp, it is impossible.

On the city, in front of the city gate tower, there are flags such as "Guan", "Li" and "Zhuge ", the flag of the word "Guan" is in the center, and the other two flags are located on the left and right.

If it is said that the morale of Zhou Tai's soldiers and horses is extremely high, Zhuge Liang and Li Zheng's soldiers and horses have been repaired for many days, and their morale is also extremely high. In addition, there are city walls as defense, and there are many defensive equipment in the city.

Steady as Mount Tai.

In front of the female wall, Li Zheng looked at the Zhou Tai camp, he was wearing armor, hanging a big hat, his hand pressed the hilt of the sword, his face was solemn and resolute, and he was very powerful.

This Fang Ling general, who Guan Ping picked up with one hand, is now more and more prestigious. It is known as "wisdom and bravery".

Although Li Zhengma is not good at fighting, no one thinks that he is not brave.

The so-called courage does not only refer to one's own force, but also can be said to be brave and able to fight.

Li Zheng's deputy, Ying Sima, was also beside him.

"General, in what direction will the situation go?" Recently, all kinds of news have been summarized, and Ying Sima couldn't help but think about it and asked.

"Don't be cranky. Either way, the winner is king. And the Guan family will always be the winner. Li Zheng said categorically, and then glanced back at the "Guan" banner on the city gate.

"No." The battalion Sima was seized by Li Zheng's momentum and responded awe-inspiringly.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near. Li Zheng looked back and saw a small official walking up from under the city, panting.

"General. Zhuge Jiangxia please. The little official bowed and saluted.

"Okay." Li Zheng nodded, and then ordered Ying Sima to be careful and not to relax. Only then did he lead his soldiers to stride down the city wall, turn over his horse, and go to Zhuge Liang's temporary mansion.

When he came to the door, he did not report in vain, entered the door, and went to the study. In the study, Zhuge Liang was sitting on the main seat watching the desk, and there was a map on the desk.

Zhuge Liang heard the movement and raised his head and said to Li Zheng: "General Li doesn't have to be polite, come and sit." ”

Li Zheng just wanted to salute, but when he heard the words, he gave up and came to Zhuge Liang, and the two sat opposite each other. Zhuge Liang continued to look at the map, while Li Zheng did not squint.

After a while, Zhuge Liang raised his head and said to Li Zheng: "General Li, the situation is like this now, I don't know if General Li has any thoughts in his heart?" ”

"Sun Quan will withdraw from the army, and we may not be able to take advantage of it." Li Zheng did not deal with Zhuge Liang with what he said to Ying Sima before, but replied calmly.

Obviously, Li Zheng had already calculated in his heart before this.

"If there were no accidents, that's probably the case. Sun Quan slowly withdrew his troops, and we slowly collected Nanjun, Jiangbei Jiangxia, and then stationed troops at the mouth of the Youjiang River. Sun Quan would set up heavy troops in Changsha, Xiling, and Exian, and then divide his troops to go back to Jiangdong to fight for Shanyue. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, then pointed to the map with his right hand, drew another circle, and said: "Now that Sun Quan is in Nanjun, the officials of Jiangxia County, I am afraid that they have begun to abandon the city and go back." ”

Li Zheng nodded.

This is the normal development of the situation.

There are more than 100,000 people in the Guan family, and there are more than 100,000 people in Sun Quan, although there is a fire in the rear of Sun Quan, but there is no loss of territory, but the territory is unstable.

In the long run, it will definitely not work, but it will not collapse in a short time.

And the Jiangdong generals are all elites, and Sun Quan is not confused, unless the two sides really want to open a fight, fight for 100,000 dead and wounded, and do a big job.

Otherwise, it may end peacefully.

As Zhuge Liang said, Sun Quan slowly retreated, and the Guan family would inevitably cross the river to the mouth of the Youjiang River and divide the Xiangshui with Sun Quan and divide Jingzhou.

Sun Quan got one-third of Jiangxia, Changsha County only.

And Sun Quan wants to fight to the death? Apparently not.

Does the Guan family want to?

The Guan family can't either, because the purpose of the Guan family is only to keep Jingzhou, and further to gain the state. If it is merged with Sun Quan in Jingzhou, then there will be no troops to take Yizhou, or the time to delay the advance of Yizhou.

And Cao Cao in the north is not a vegetarian, there is information that Cao Cao intends to attack Ma Chao in the west, Han Sui, if Cao Cao is allowed to further strengthen the north, go south to Hanzhong.

And if the Guan family did not have Yizhou at that time, Hanzhong would also be in danger.

Therefore, the Guan family can't really fight with Sun Quan, so they can only pretend to be desperate and put on a fierce posture to force Sun Quan to withdraw from the army.

Normally, it will develop like this.

Zhuge Liang also has this idea, but Zhuge Liang still has a little dry goods.

"At present, we cannot fight to the death with Sun Quan, resulting in the loss of troops. But it is also necessary to eat Sun Quan's soldiers and horses as much as possible to prepare for the later capture of Jiangdong. Because from the overall situation, whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Ma Chao, Han Sui, or Shi Xie, they are all enemies. If the Guanjia protects the state and Jingzhou, you can also go south by boat and go straight to the east of the Jiangdong. Weakening Sun Quan is beneficial. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, picked up the goose feather fan, and slapped his shoulder.

This is true. But Zhou Yu is not vulgar, and Jiangdong generals are all outstanding. I'm afraid it's extremely difficult to nibble down a piece of fat. ”

Although Li Zheng agreed, his face showed embarrassment.

To put it simply, it is because of the lack of troops.

If the Jiangdong people withdraw their troops in an orderly manner, it will be a pursuit, and they may not be able to gain much success.

The Jianghan Plain was flat, and Zhao Yun's cavalry was too small to play a big role. If you pursue, it's also clear at a glance.

The fight is still a fair fight.

Boring.

"Zhou Yu must retreat, and the retreat must be from Jiangling to Sun Quan Water Village. It's a straight line. And the retreat of the army must not be a mess. Each army will withdraw its troops in steps according to the number of people in a team. The elite soldiers will be broken. What if at that time there was an ambush here? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and pointed to a place on the map. This place is a very ordinary place, but an unexpected place.

If there is really an ambush here, attacking Zhou Yu's retreating soldiers and horses by surprise, it is very likely to reap miraculous results.

This place is located in Gangneung, on the eastern part of the road with Sun Quan's Daying.

But where did the soldiers come from in this place?

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei in the north, Fu Tong and Huo Jun in Dangyang, Guan Ping in the west. If Zhou Yu withdraws his troops, the spies will pay attention to the north, the west, and the south, but not the east.

Why?

Because there will be no enemy troops here.

But there is. There is still a squeeze. Li Zheng has an answer.

"If you let me lead my troops, take advantage of the night to quietly go out of the east gate, and take a detour to ambush. But at that time, what should Cheng Yang do? There were thousands of recruits in the city, but they couldn't stop Zhou Tai's blow. Because on the way, I most likely leaked the news and let Zhou Tai know that there were no soldiers and horses in the city. In this way, not only is the raid difficult to achieve, but Cheng Yang is also lost. ”

Li Zheng said awe-inspiringly.

Li Zheng has already understood that Zhuge Liang intends to use the empty city plan. Zhuge Liang alone guarded Chengyang with thousands of recruits who couldn't block Zhou Tai's blow.

As long as the news is not leaked, Zhou Tai will not attack Cheng Yang.

But the news leaked, and Cheng Yang was difficult to protect.

But on the other hand, if the news is not leaked, he can lead nearly 10,000 troops to ambush in the eastern position where Zhou Yu withdrew his troops, and he can take advantage of Zhou Yu's withdrawal to choose a target to make a surprise attack and destroy a Jiangdong army.

Although it is said that this place is peaceful, Zhou Yu would not have expected that Zhuge Liang of Chengyang would defend an empty city and send soldiers and horses out of the city to fight.

That is, if the other party is unprepared, even if it is on the plain, you can also play an ambush.

"Although Cheng Yang may be gone, it is also possible to eat Zhou Yu's people. I'm confident. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll choose the time to go out of the city." Li Zheng is also a bold person, since Zhuge Liang is not afraid, he is naturally not afraid, and responded.
