Chapter 269: Zhuge Liang's Foresight

Whoever surprises is bound to be a selection of elites. Although the number of people is small, it is quiet. Conquer the city and conquer the city, but you can be invincible.

Whenever a regular soldier is dispatched, it must be as big as the sky.

Now Cao Cao's horse infantry army of 200,000 is going south, and the movement is as big as the sky. TOEFL, Guan Yu was able to calmly arrange in Xinye and burn the rice so as not to fall into the hands of Cao Jun.

And calculating the time, Cao Cao's army must have arrived in Xinye, and it must be September.

And this situation has a benefit for Jiang Xia. September is the time of the autumn harvest, and the Xinye autumn harvest is too late, but the autumn harvest here in Jiangxia can still be harvested.

News kept coming from Xinye, and Zhuge Liang knew about Xinye's move to burn the rice. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, planned to harvest the rice.

Zhuge Liang is not worried about this, he is more worried about Jiang Wan's side.

Jiang Wan was ordered to go to Jiangdong to move rescue troops, but he went for many days and has not returned.

Jiangxia County, Anlu County.

This county seat was built with Zhang Fei's help, and it is both large and strong.

Taishou Mansion, in the study in the front yard. Zhuge Liang put down the bamboo slip in his hand, picked up the goose feather fan, came to the door, and looked at the sky.

Today is a bright day, the sun is shining.

"Sun Quan is a master, but the situation in Jiangdong is also complicated. Jiangdong scholars, northern scholars, Huaisi generals, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, if Sun Quan can't send troops, then my Jiangxia is in danger. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed and slapped his shoulder with a goose feather fan.

Zhuge Liang had a hunch that Cao Cao might not attack Xinye when he came north, but attacked Jiangxia directly, so without Sun Quan's reinforcements, Jiangxia would never be able to hold it.

It is precisely because there is no general in the house, the foundation is shallow, and the people's will has not yet been completely attached.

Supplies are also insufficient.

"Your Excellency. Mr. Gongyan is back. At this moment, a small official broke in from outside, and his face was happy. And Jiang Wan followed, and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Brother, fortunately, I am not dishonored." Sun Quan has sent Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and other generals 30,000 sailors to station in Exian County and set up a water village to wait and see the situation. ”

"Jiangxia is in order." Kong Ming stretched his brows, smiled, and then hurriedly invited Jiang Wan to come in and ordered someone to bring tea.

Zhuge Liang watched Jiang Wan drink a few sips of tea, and then asked, "Why has Gongyan been gone for so long?" But Jiangdong is tilted internally? ”

Jiang Wan put down the teacup, nodded and said, "Brother's expectations are not bad. Although Sun Quan is the lord of the Ming, there are many scholars in Jiangdong who do not want to fight. I heard that Cao Cao personally went south, and the army was claimed to be 800,000. People's hearts fluctuate. Many people advised Sun Quan to wait and see, and many even persuaded Sun Quan to send his son as a hostage in order to return. Only Zhou Yu and Lu Su suggested that Sun Quan send reinforcements to come. ”

The two sides argued for a long time, and Sun Quan also hesitated for a while. In the end, he was willing to send Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu to come. I was able to return to Jiangxia with the army and return to my brother. ”

"No matter how tortuous the process is, the results are gratifying. That Sun Quan is still ambitious. Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this. Immediately, he said to Jiang Wan Zhengse: "Gongyan came just right." Immediately take people to Suizhou and Zaoyang to harvest grain. Then arrange for the people to take refuge on Dahong Mountain and Tongbai Mountain on the spot. I'm afraid these two counties can't hold it, although the city is not important, but the population, food is important, if it is obtained by Cao Cao, it will not be beautiful. ”

"Brother thinks that Cao Cao will definitely divide his troops to attack Jiangxia?" Jiang Wan was a little surprised when he heard this, and then said solemnly.

"Xinye is as stable as a mountain, and Fangling is located in the deep mountains and old forests, and is separated by Hanshui. Cao Cao is good at using soldiers, how could he sacrifice the lives of his soldiers and storm Xinye? It must come south to Jiangxia. ”

Zhuge Liang said categorically.

"Okay, I'll go to Suizhou, Zaoyang, and preside over the matter." Jiang Wan didn't care about the fact that he had just come back when he heard this, so he hugged his fist at Zhuge Liang, got up and said.

"Hard-working brother." Zhuge Liang said so, and then sent Jiang Wan out.

Then Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, summoned the officials of Jiangxia County, as well as the school captains Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and the battalion Sima of his headquarters, and prepared to wait for the autumn harvest to move the people outside the city into the city to resist.

In addition, Ding Feng brought enough food and floated on the Yangtze River by boat, so he did not get off the boat easily, and he would definitely become an ear food when he got off the boat.

Zhuge Liang is ready to give up Suizhou and Zaoyang and stick to Anlu.

At this point, this big battle that is destined to go down in history, all the personnel have appeared.

Guan's, Jingzhou Liu's, Jiangdong Sun's, Cao's.

No one can escape.

As for who wins and who loses, only God knows.

By August 29, Cao Ren, the former general of Cao's army, had already commanded all the troops to reach the city of Xinye and began to repair the camp.

The murderous spirit rushed to the sky.

When Guan Yu heard the news, he led Zhou Cang to the north gate and watched the Cao army camp with Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others.

"Cao Ren is really not a vegetarian, this person dominates the world and has not tasted defeat. Cao Jun is also an elite soldier in a hundred battles. Even if I go out of the city to fight, I'm afraid that there will be no return. ”

It is rare that Zhang Laosan did not act as a demon, but looked at it very probely, and his face was very solemn.

Cao Cao's rise is by no means a one-man effort, a day's work. The Cao clan, many of the Xiahou clan's generals, have made great efforts.

Xiahoudun can't fight, but he stabilizes the rear.

Cao Ren was the general of the attack, and his entourage fought without a defeat.

Cao Chundu rode tigers and leopards, and once made great achievements in the battle of White Wolf Mountain.

Xiahou Yuan is also a general.

Let's not think about fighting alone, fighting and brawling. Zhang Fei's corporal is by no means Cao's opponent.

"Hey." Guan Yu, who was arrogant, also sighed, and then said: "Act according to the plan, and never go out of the city to fight." ”

"No."

Zhang Laosan, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang and others promised.

Coincidentally, in the Cao army camp. Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan climbed together and looked at the castle.

Cao Ren's face is white and his appearance is slightly feminine, but his body is strong, and he is wearing armor and pressing a sword.

Xiahou Yuan is full of stubble, his ape arms are majestic, and his momentum is compelling.

The two looked at Xinye City, Cao Ren withdrew his eyes, and said to Xiahou Yuan: "Miaocai, can this city be attacked?" ”

"I can't beat it." Xiahou Yuan shook his head resolutely. Then Xiahou Yuan looked at Xinye City again, and said with emotion: "I'm afraid this city wall is three zhang high, and Luoyang City was only like this back then." At intervals in the city, arrow towers were set up. ”

"Although I don't know if the other party's soldiers are elite, since Guan Yu has repaired such a majestic city, I don't think the soldiers will be too weak. I heard that the Guan family still won the hearts of the people. Such a majestic city is absolutely difficult to capture. In this battle, if you want to win Jingzhou and destroy the Guan clan, you still have to use strategy. ”

"That's true." Cao Ren nodded, then pinched his beard and asked the official to take pen and ink. Cao Ren wrote a letter and sent fast horses to Cao Cao in the rear.

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

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Cao Cao is in the Jingzhou area, and there is only one male city in Wancheng. Therefore, the grain and grass from Xudu were continuously transported from afar, and they were all concentrated in Wancheng.

Xiahoudun can't fight, but he wins the hearts of the people and is loyal. Cao Cao still let Xiahou and Li Dian lead his troops to garrison Wancheng and supply the army with grain and grass.

Cao Ren went to Xinye first, Cao Cao led the rear army, and the strategists in the tents also came to Wancheng.

Cao Cao ordered an army of 150,000 to set up camp outside the city, and the company camp stretched for more than ten miles, waving flags, and the momentum was extremely strong. In the city of Wancheng, Xiahoudun asked Li Dian to defend the city, and he drove his horse out of the city to see Cao Cao.

These two men are good brothers. Cao Cao heard the news and personally went out of the big tent to welcome Xiahoudun in.

"It's been a long time, and I miss it so much. When the world is calm, he will be transferred back to the Central Plains. Hunting during the day and talking at night. ”

Cao Cao took Xiahou Dan's hand and was very close.

Cao Cao is a traitor to outsiders, but for these henchmen, Cao Cao is also a brother. Therefore, Cao Hong let the horse, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan each risked white blades and arrows, and tried their best to conquer the world.

When Xiahoudun heard this, he also remembered the past when he was a teenager, when the two often went out together and slept in the same bed at night, and couldn't help nodding.

Cao Cao treated Xiahoudun as a brother, and the two said a lot. Until a small official came in and said that the full favor was coming.

"Prime Minister, I'll go back to Wancheng." Hearing this, Xiahoudun got up and said.

"Good life to guard the city." Cao Cao said.

"No." Xiahou said yes, turned around and walked out of the big tent. Xiahoudun saw Man Zhong outside the big tent, and the two saluted each other.

Not long after, Man Chong walked into the tent and told Cao Cao about Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's reply.

"It's just an excuse, hesitate inside, wait and see." Cao Cao immediately sneered when he heard this. Immediately, Cao Cao asked Man Pet to go down to rest and give him food.

Soon after, the soldiers sent Cao Ren's letter in. After Cao Cao watched, he frowned slightly, then sat down and said to his soldiers: "Summons Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu." ”

"No."

The soldier promised and folded down. Not long after, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Xun You entered the big tent, and after seeing Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked them to sit down.

Cao Cao looked at the three of them and couldn't help but be satisfied. Although his advisers are like clouds, fierce generals are like rain. But the general is the first to recommend the five sons, and the advisers are the three in front of him.

As for Guo Jia, who has died of illness, Xun Yu is a prime minister, not a strategist.

Cao Cao asked the soldiers in the tent to hand over Cao Ren's letter to the three of them to read. After the three of them finished circulating, Cao Cao said: "This is Zixiao's judgment, I also know that Guan Yu can use the valley in the city for three years." The people are not counted as teenagers, but there are 300,000 people. It's a tortoise, and I'm a tiger, and it's hard to bite it. Previously, I sent Man Chong to see Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and the two of them used excuses on the outside and watched on the inside. The art of war is cloudy, the siege is the bottom, and the strategy is the top. Do you have a plan? ”

Jia Xu, Xun Yu is not as active as Cheng Yu.

Xun You is simple and speaks little, while Jia Xu is not Cao Cao's former minister, so he doesn't often speak and behave.

Cheng Yu is very active, this person is not only a strategist, but also a general, and he has the courage to act.

"Prime Minister. Shinno Castle is not to be captured. However, Guan Ping's partial division was stationed on the north bank of the Han River. Jiangxia guards Zhuge Liangtun Anlu. The prime minister sent a general to defeat 50,000 elite soldiers, and it was not difficult to win. As long as you enter Fangling, or Anlu. It can be connected to Jingzhou. Cai Mao, Zhang Yun must be frightened. Jingzhou can be determined. After Jingzhou, the situation is different. ”

Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"Good. Send Xu Huang to supervise 50,000 elite soldiers, and set off tomorrow to Anlu. Be sure to win. Cao Cao thought about it for a moment and then made a decision.
