Chapter 480: Zhuge Liang's Crisis
"Holy Lord, Zhuge Kongming's 5,000 soldiers and horses are not afraid, why don't you send someone to catch up, destroy them, and let their entire army be wiped out?"
Xu Maogong was not ready to let Zhuge Kongming go.
However, Li Yu hesitated.
Zhuge Kongming is a person who still has the ability, not only has strategy, but also can fight, if you want to talk about ability, Xu Maogong is inferior to him.
If such a person can be used for himself, it is naturally a great thing.
It's just a pity that as a person from the Wei State, Li Yu can't draw him even if he draws a lottery.
But if he wanted to kill Zhuge Kongming, he was a little unbearable.
Indeed, there are some emperors who are very ruthless, and in their eyes, if they can't get it, they won't let others get it.
But Li Yu is so talented, so naturally he can't do this.
He would rather Zhuge Kongming live than kill him.
However, Zhuge Kongming is a big trouble in the end, and if he continues to serve the Wei State, it will not be good for the Tang State.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yu said: "You don't have to kill Zhuge Kongming, send troops to chase and kill, but you have to make the illusion that you can kill Zhuge Kongming, but you don't kill it." ”
Hearing this, Xu Maogong and the others were a little puzzled.
"What is the purpose of the Holy Lord's doing this?" "The most powerful person in Wei is Sima Yi, and Zhuge Kongming is Sima Yi's biggest opponent, if we help Wei get rid of Zhuge Kongming, then Sima Yi may have to dominate the Wei family, so, it is not a good thing for us to destroy Wei, just let Zhuge Kongming go back and continue to fight with Sima Yi, however, we can't let Zhuge Kongming have a good time, he lost the battle, we could have killed him, but we didn't kill him, so, do you think Zhuge Kongming will be better after returning to China?"
Li Yu said a bit too much, but the meaning was already very clear.
He wanted Sima Yi and Zhuge Kongming to continue the internal struggle after they went back, although Zhuge Kongming lost the battle, they believed that with Zhuge Kongming's ability, he would not be defeated.
With the crown prince Cao Pi supporting him, Zhuge Kongming's situation will be much better.
After Li Yu gave such an order, Xu Maogong had already understood, he nodded, and then directly arranged soldiers and horses to go to hunt down Zhuge Kongming of Wei.
After nightfall, the weather in early spring is still a little chilly.
Zhuge Kongming took 5,000 soldiers and horses, and did not dare to hesitate at all, and kept galloping in the direction of Wei.
It was not until noon the next day, when the soldiers were really hungry and couldn't stand it, that they finally stopped.
Zhuge Kongming took his own soldiers and horses to prepare for cooking, and took the opportunity to take a rest, according to his calculations, the soldiers and horses of the Tang State may rush in soon, and they can only ensure safety after entering the territory of the Wei State.
And to rush to the territory of Wei, at their speed, it will take at least six days.
However, just when Zhuge Kongming was thinking like this, a spy hurriedly came to report: "Marshal, the soldiers and horses of the Tang State have caught up, and I am afraid that after half an hour, they will be able to come." ”
Hearing that the Tang army would be able to arrive in half an hour, the soldiers were suddenly a little flustered, they had been frightened by the Tang army, 60,000 soldiers and horses, and in the end only 5,000 of them were left.
If they were surrounded by the Tang army again, they would not be able to go back.
"Marshal, what should I do?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhuge Kongming, Zhuge Kongming's expression was a little ugly, he didn't expect the Tang army to chase so closely.
And now, they are tired of running, and if they continue to run, they are afraid that they will not be able to do it, right?
Can be beaten, but how can it be fought?
Zhuge Kongming walked back and forth, and said, "Rest on the spot, eat everything you can eat, and prepare for the battle." ”
That's the only thing they can do right now.
The soldiers and horses of the Wei State had no other way but to do what Zhuge Kongming said.
The soldiers and horses of the Wei State were in full array, and the entire military camp seemed a little quiet and a little sluggish, and they were waiting for the arrival of the storm.
Half an hour passed quickly, they had never felt that time had passed so quickly, they felt that the killing was very close to them.
However, half an hour passed, and the soldiers and horses of the Tang Kingdom did not rush over, and everyone looked at each other, feeling very incomprehensible.
"What's going on?"
Zhuge Kongming's eyebrows were staring, Tang Guo's reaction was a little abnormal, with the current ability of Tang Guo, he could fight with them, but why didn't Tang Guo come?
"What is the Tang Army doing?"
"Back to Marshal, the Tang Army is resting, and it seems that there is no intention of a war."
Hearing that Tang Jun didn't mean to fight with them, everyone didn't understand it even more, and Zhuge Kongming also felt a little unbelievable here, but he didn't think too much about this issue.
"Hurry up and rest, and after resting, continue on your way."
The soldiers and horses of the Wei State rested for an hour, and after an hour, they continued to march in the direction of the Wei State, and when they left, the soldiers and horses of the Tang State also left, as if they wanted to hunt them down.
However, if the soldiers and horses of the Wei State stopped, the soldiers and horses of the Tang State would also stop.
After doing this several times, until the soldiers and horses of the Wei State finally arrived in the Wei State, the soldiers and horses of the Tang State did not continue to chase and kill.
Throughout the way, the soldiers and horses of the Wei State were a little scared, but the result was always a false alarm.
When they finally stepped into the territory of Wei, their hanging hearts finally calmed down, and Zhuge Kongming at this time seemed to finally understand the meaning of Tang State.
When he understood, his face sank.
Tang Guo could have killed them, but he didn't, which made him afraid that he would be questioned by many people after returning to Wei, right?
was questioned, can he Zhuge Kongming survive well in the Wei State?
Li Yu wants to torture him?
Zhuge Kongming was a little incomprehensible.
If Li Yu wanted his life, he would have taken his soldiers and horses to intercept him, so why let him leave alive?
He knew Li Yu's methods, but he didn't understand Li Yu's purpose.
Why can you kill but not kill, is it so simple to torture?
At this time, Zhuge Kongming did not expect that Li Yu was a cherished talent.
After the soldiers and horses entered the territory of the Wei State, the eyes of the people around them were already very different.
The 60,000-strong army went out on the expedition, and when they returned, there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses left, were they still the heroes of the Wei State?
No, they are defeated criminals.
Defeat is to be punished.
Zhuge Kongming and the others continued to march towards Xudu, and at this time, the news of Zhuge Kongming's defeat had reached Xudu.
When the news of Zhuge Kongming's defeat came, the entire Xu capital was boiling. Such a gap is incomprehensible.
