Two days later, in the afternoon.

The west gate of Chengyang City.

It was a little overcast, but there was no sign of rain. Because there is no wind, the banners of "Guan", "Zhuge and Li" on the tower of the city gate are hanging down, and they are weak.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the city were in high spirits.

All kinds of supplies for defending the city, arrows, stones, wood, and grease were prepared and piled up. With a "squeak", the city gate tower opened from the inside, and a team of personal soldiers surrounded Li Zheng and walked out of the door.

Li Zheng's eyes did not squint, his face was upright and serious, he was wearing armor, his hand was pressed on the hilt of his sword, and his body exuded a powerful aura.

This is prestige!!!

"General!!!

The soldiers involuntarily bent down slightly and saluted Li Zheng. Li Zheng nodded and said loudly: "Although Handang did not attack the city today, you must not relax. The other party is Han Dang, who is tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Jiangdong. ”

"No." The soldiers agreed.

Immediately, Li Zheng led this group of personal soldiers and began to inspect the city wall, encouraging the soldiers from time to time, or scolding the soldiers who were a little lax.

However, Han Dang only attacked Chengyang City yesterday, and when he saw that he couldn't attack it, he didn't spend any more troops today.

Although the war lasted only one day, the impact was far-reaching. Li Zheng in the city, Zhuge Liang's soldiers, lost a lot of people.

Consumed some arrows, stone, wood, grease.

Although the city wall has been cleaned, the blood stains are really difficult to clean, and the pools of blood have left black marks and exude a stench.

The city's defenses are strong.

Whether it is the elite soldiers trained by Li Zheng or the elite soldiers trained by Zhuge Liang, they are not weak brigades. Coupled with the accumulation of a large amount of grain in the city, the morale of the soldiers was extremely high.

Moreover, the population of the city, as well as the people who fled to Chengyang from all directions, were also hostile to the Jiangdong people, and Zhuge Liang's main job at present was to select the people from them and train them.

There are about 10,000 elites in the city, plus at least a few thousand strong men who can be used as support. If the Jiangdong people want to take this city, they will need to pay at least 10,000 dead in battle, plus an unknown number of wounded soldiers, and they will need to attack the city continuously.

Art.

The siege is below, and the siege is above.

If Jiangdong is willing to pay such a price to attack the city, then Li Zheng admits it, and he is willing to give Xiang Shang's head to the other party.

But that's not possible.

Because the total number of the opponent's infantry was only 50,000, Li Zheng learned the information and knew that Guan Ping had defeated Pan Zhang in Mingqiu, which made Pan Zhang lose a lot of men and horses, and Pan Zhang needed to have troops to defend Sun Quan's east.

The number of troops that Han Dang could use was only 45,000. If you pay a lot of armor here, how can you cope with the next war?

Is the left general in the north, the Marquis of Jingzhou Mu Hanshou, a vegetarian?

Li Zheng was very keen, and he guessed that the other party would most likely stop attacking Cheng Yang, and chose to send a group of men and horses to monitor outside the city.

First send troops to the north to guard against the lord of their family.

There is no big problem with Cheng Yang.

But Li Zheng also knows that the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated is the so-called raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while. And it is not uncommon for the winner to win a hundred times, and it is over after one defeat.

Just like Xiang Yu back then, although he won many battles, once he was defeated, he was like an avalanche and had no power to return to the sky.

Therefore, Li Zheng must cheer up, let himself, and let the soldiers under his command, be in good spirits, and continue to maintain the vigilance and morale of the status quo.

All for this Jingzhou.

When Li Zheng finished inspecting this section of the city wall and planned to go back to rest in the city gate tower. Li Zheng saw the Handang camp in the distance, and there seemed to be movement.

It seems that some of the men and horses have entered the camp.

"Is this going to Mingqiu to conquer General Ming's Huang Gai Division?" Li Zheng sneered. Then Li Zheng waved his hand and ordered the pro-soldiers: "Beat the drum and tell Huang Gai that I am waiting for them here." ”

"No." The soldiers agreed and hurriedly went down to give the order.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!" Soon after, the drums were beating and resounding through the sky. When the soldiers heard the sound of the drum, they immediately puffed up their chests, and the hands holding the bows became even harder.

Morale is rising.

"Come on, Jiangdong rats." The soldiers roared in their hearts.

The general under Guan Ping, the general Li Zheng who Guan Ping picked up with one hand, is by no means an ordinary person.

.............

Handang battalion, Handang commanded 30,000 horses, a total of eight armies, the battalions are interlocking, stretching for three or four miles, the flags are displayed, and the camp tents are listed.

Huang Gai led Zhou Tai from the west, Han Dang personally greeted Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, and went to the Chinese army's tent, as for Huang Gai and Zhou Tai's men, their respective deputies were responsible for setting up camp.

After Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai and other generals came to the big tent, Han Dang sat in the northern handsome seat, opened his mouth and greeted Huang Gai and Zhou Tai for a while.

Huang Gai put his hand on his knee and said to Han Dang: "Yigong, you don't attack the city, but you are here to recuperate, but there are reinforcements in the city?" ”

"The banner is Li, it should be Li Zheng of Dangyang. This kid defended well, although I led the army to attack, but I didn't defeat it. "Han Dang is very ordinary.

Huang Gai nodded, leading 30,000 elite soldiers to attack a city defended by strong soldiers, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

It was also this Li Zheng who impressed Huang Gai.

That is to say, after Li Zheng received the news, Zhuge Liang led his elite soldiers to Chengyang day and night without asking him for help. It's really keen, as long as he hesitates, our 45,000 elite soldiers will surround Cheng Yang, Li Zheng will not be able to rush in, and Cheng Yang will not be able to hold it. ”

Huang Gai sighed.

Although Jiangdong is full of talents, there are many brave generals and ministers. But the Guan family is not bad. Not long ago, they played against Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong and others, and Pan Zhang almost folded.

After Guan Ping played his own banner, Huang Gai knew that he was personally guarding the town in Mingqiu.

That night, Pan Zhang was not defeated by Zhang Bao, but by Guan Ping.

"We have been delayed here in Zhucheng of Nanjun and Jiangxia City for too long. Guan Yu is in Xiangyang and has enough time to send troops. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, they are coming. These two are the real bears and tigers, invincible. According to the plan, Youping, you lead 5,000 elite soldiers under your command to stay in Chengyang and monitor the people in the city. Together with Gong Fu, I led 40,000 troops to the north and set up camp in the northeast of Gangneung City near the water. As long as Guan Yu can be prevented from going south, no matter how much food Chengyang has, he will not be able to eat for a lifetime, and Zhuge Liang will be defeated when the grain is exhausted. Nanjun, Jiangxia is ours. ”

Han Dang stood up and said, "Rest tonight, and set off tomorrow." ”

"No." Huang Gai and the others stood up and agreed. At this moment, the fierce drum beat sounded. Han Dang, Huang Gai and the others frowned, and then everyone turned over and rode towards Dongying Gate. Then they heard only the sound of the drums in the city, but no one came out.

Han Dangxiao looked in the direction of the city wall, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand and turned to Huang Gai and the others and smiled: "It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, provoking us?" In the past, we dominated the world, and here we are still in the womb. Ignore him. ”

With such a simple method of agitation, Han Dang and others will naturally not be fooled. According to the plan, they rested tonight, and left Zhou Tai to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to monitor it early the next morning, and then led 40,000 elite soldiers to the north, and went to the northeast of Jiangling City near Hanshui to set up camp.

Didn't go to attack Dangyang either.

Dangyang is a straight north-south line with Gangneung City, and there is no garrison value. And the construction of the camp near Hanshui is to become an east-west horizontal line with Gangneung, which can hold Guan Yu's army.

Li Zheng, Zhuge Liang's judgment was right.

There is no value in guarding this place in Dangyang, and if you lose it, you will lose it.

................

In the south, Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liaohua's more than 20,000 water troops are located in the water village. This place is located on the border between Jiangxia and Nanjun.

Originally, there was no embarrassment in the garrison here.

Because a large area of territory in the north is the power of the Guan family, it is connected to Chengyang County in the north, and the grain route can be guaranteed. But with the current many county seats, they have been captured by Jiangdong people.

The situation of the water army became awkward.

Sun Quan didn't have the strength to provoke Wang Wei and the others again, but Wang Wei and the others couldn't stay by themselves, because the food in the army was only enough to eat for three months, and they didn't need Sun Quan to attack, so they had to be defeated.

But it's easy to retreat, the navy, let alone sailing at night, even if you sail during the day, you can also swagger. The Jiangdong people's naval army is not on the other side.

Instead, they were scattered in the three places of Youjiangkou, Jiangling, and Jiangxia, and Wang Wei was confident to kill them.

And Wang Wei's ideal path is to abandon the water village here and go back to Anlu to station. On the Anlu side, there are people, troops, and food.

However, after Wang Wei got the news, he did not immediately withdraw from the army, because he had to take care of Zhuge Liang first. If Zhuge Liang asks for help, he will send troops into the city to help.

If Zhuge Liang plans to burn the heavy grain in the city and retreat from the army, he needs to take it.

All in all, it is a slow return to the east, and there is no trouble.

In fact, there is another way, Wang Wei can go west to Zigui. But there are a lot of sailors in Jiangdong over there, which may not be passable, a little exciting, and a little risky.

Wang Wei thought about it or forget it.

In such a situation, Wang Wei waited for Zhuge Liang's letter. Wang Wei immediately summoned Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and others to discuss the accounts.

Wang Wei sat in the northern handsome seat, waiting for Huang Zhongsan to come to Qi. Wang Wei took out the silk cloth sent by Zhuge Liang and said, "Zhuge Jiangxia asked us to withdraw our troops and go back to Jiangxia." And recruit troops from Jiangxia. My strength needs to be increased to twenty-two, and each of you needs to make up eleven of you. The two generals Chen Lan and Lei Xu also need to increase their troops, to eleven troops. ”

At present, Wang Wei's army, after war damage, plus the fact that it is not complete, has nearly 20,000 or 18,000 people.

According to this strategy of increasing troops, Wang Wei's army needs to be increased to about 22,000 men.

At present, Chen Lan and Lei Xu in Jiangxia have a combined strength of only five or six thousand, and if they increase their troops, they will have about 11,000 troops.

Here we go.

Zhuge Liang's extreme thug plan.
