Chapter 532: Cao Mengde's Way Back
Just like Li Mu, Pang Tong also looked at the first thing Zhuge Liang said carefully, and then stood up and handed the letterhead in his hand to Huang Zhong opposite.
Huang Zhong saw the first thing Zhuge Liang said, and the look of surprise on his face was beyond words, and immediately, his expression was full of hesitation and looked at his lord and Pang Junshi.
Later, the four people who read the letterhead, Dian Wei, Fu Yan, Zhao Feng, and Gao Xiang, like Huang Zhong, were all surprised. The four of them were very puzzled in their hearts, and they saw ...... This Cao Mengde, together with his Yanzhou army, is about to reach the point of exhaustion, why should the general of the Chinese army advise his own lord...... Leave Cao Mengde a way to live?
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, although they were surprised in their hearts, they couldn't question it, and they couldn't guess the deep thoughts of Zhuge Liang, the general of the Chinese army. After all, in the hearts of Huang Zhong's five people, Zhuge Liang is a god-like existence. Since, the general of the Chinese military division can put forward such a proposal, there must be his unique considerations, even if they want to guess, they can't guess it.
"Since...... You have already read Mr. Kong Ming's secret letter! ”
Li Mu looked around at everyone, and saw that everyone had finished browsing Zhuge Liang's letterhead, and saw that everyone had different expressions, and then asked loudly with a smile on his face: "I don't know...... What do you think? ”
"My lord! Or...... directly killed Cao Mengde, taking advantage of the time when the Yanzhou army was leaderless...... Our army invaded Yan and Henan prefectures, and all Cao Mengde's territory was under the command of the lord. ”
"This time...... If Cao Mengde is let go, one day he will ...... Cao Mengde's comeback will definitely attack our Liangzhou army, and it will ...... The war broke out again, the people could not live and work in peace and contentment, and many soldiers were going to die at the hands of the Yanzhou army! ”
Huang Zhong first said a few words with a look of anger, and then said the incomprehension in his heart, "But...... Then again...... If the general of the Chinese military division can have such an idea, he must have a more long-term consideration. I can't guess...... The far-reaching plans of the generals of the Chinese army. ”
Dian Wei, Fu Yan, Zhao Feng, and Gao Xiang also shook their heads without much understanding. In fact, deep down in the hearts of the four of them, they still agreed with Huang Zhong's opinion and directly killed Cao Mengde to achieve the effect of once and for all, and it was also ...... One day, Cao Mengde made a comeback.
"Hansheng's approach is simple and rude, the most direct, understandable, and reasonable! According to Hansheng...... Our army may be able to defeat the Yanzhou army, but we are not completely sure...... It can bring Yan and Henan into the command of the lord. ”
After some careful consideration, Pang Tong finally understood Zhuge Liang's far-reaching plan, and then said in a firm voice: "But...... Kong Ming suggested that the lord ...... Leaving a way for Cao Mengde to live is indeed a far-reaching consideration! ”
Pang Tong could see Zhuge Liang's far-reaching plans, and Li Mu was naturally no exception. Li Mu looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, and then, he looked around at everyone again, and nodded thoughtfully.
"Among the various princes of the Kwantung region, the strength of Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, and Liu Xuande is the most powerful. These three princes, due to their own interests and needs, sometimes divided, sometimes united.
Now it seems...... The three major princes of the Kanto region have become a check and balance between them...... Three-legged momentum! If there is no external force...... If this balance is broken, the checks and balances between the three princes will not be lifted.
If our army kills Cao Mengde, and then marches into Yan and Henan, Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei will definitely send troops to help. To this day, the envoys sent by our army to Qingzhou still have no definite news. It can be seen from this...... Liu Xuande is holding a wait-and-see attitude, waiting for the military situation of the Yanzhou army. ”
"In addition...... I have heard people talk about it, and it is ...... Cao Mengde's eldest son, Cao Ang, is both civil and military, quite ambitious, and has a high prestige in the Yanzhou Army.
According to reliable sources...... This time, when Cao Mengde invaded the border of Guanzhong, he handed over all the military and political affairs of Yan and Henan to Cao Ang and Xun Yu. It can be seen from this...... Cao Mengde, just in case, has left a successor in advance.
Now, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun have all died in the hands of our army, and the Yanzhou army and our Liangzhou army have become an endless situation. If...... Kill Cao Mengde again, it can be said that it is ...... My Liangzhou Army has become the revenge of the Yanzhou Army to kill his father! By that time...... The Yanzhou army is afraid that it will ...... with our army Fight a fish to die and break the net, and die together.
Of course...... My Liangzhou Army is not afraid of the Yanzhou Army! It's just that...... Since then, the Yanzhou army will inevitably harass our army from time to time, which is not conducive to our army's southern expedition plan.
If...... can leave a way for Cao Mengde to live, after Cao Mengde returned to Xu County, he didn't care if it was...... Fierce soldiers, recuperation, and the intention is to make a comeback. And so on...... At least for two years, the Yanzhou army will be powerless...... Invade the borders of our army in a big way! Our army can take advantage of this time to pacify Jing and Yi Prefectures as soon as possible, and destroy the traitor Sun Ce as soon as possible!
Besides, if it is as expected...... The combatable soldiers of Yan and Henan are at least ...... And 80,000 more! This time, if our army kills Cao Mengde, although there will be civil strife in Yan and Henan, it will not necessarily be an uncontrollable chaos.
At that time, our army will be deeply trapped in the battlefields of Yan and Henan, and will not be able to withdraw as much as it wants. By that time...... Liu Xuande and Yuan Benchu's generation will naturally help the Yanzhou army.
It is not a wise move for my Liangzhou army to start a war with the entire Kwantung princes! ”
"That's why ...... system, agree with Kong Ming's proposal! Please judge carefully! ”
I saw it...... The approval of his own lord on his face, Pang Tong was overjoyed, and told the thoughts in his heart in one go.
"God has been kind to me, and I have bestowed...... Wolong and phoenix chicks to help me...... Achieve great things! I can get the help of Kong Ming and Shi Yuan, why worry...... The world is uncertain, and the great cause is not enough? ”
Li Mu was already aware of it, and after listening to Pang Tong's detailed analysis, he was overjoyed, and immediately praised Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. Immediately, Li Mu made a final decision: "Kong Ming is far-sighted, Shi Yuan is strategizing, he is really a great talent in the world!" Shi Yuan's heartfelt words, I don't know? Comparatively...... Leaving Cao Mengde's life is far more conducive to the long-term development of our army than killing Cao Mengde! ”
"Thank you for your praise! Serve the Lord, don't dare not do your best! ”
Pang Tong was moved in his heart, and immediately stood up, gave a salute, and thanked him with a solemn face.
Li Mu nodded, and then asked, "Before that...... What are the countermeasures against the Yanzhou Army? ”
Pang Tong immediately replied: "Lord! No need to change! Cao Mengde can live, and the soldiers under his command cannot be easily let go. ”
Li Mu thought less and nodded!
