Chapter 114: Zhuge Liang's Strategy
Again, we waited to see the current situation, abandoned Jingzhou, retrieved Pan Gong and other soldiers and horses, and conquered Dongchuan and Yongzhou in one fell swoop. In this way, although my Shu Kingdom has lost Jingxiang, it has gained Dongchuan and Yongzhou, and the foundation is more stable!! After that, the power of the Western Tang Dynasty was greatly damaged, and it was difficult to raise troops again. The lord can send someone to teach Sun Wu to resist Cao Wei, and our army will step up recuperation and wait for accumulation
g Yangrui, send troops to the Western Tang Dynasty, and destroy it first. Then unite with Eastern Wu, jointly attack Cao Wei, conquer the Central Plains, and the general trend can be achieved!! ”
As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei changed his previous decline and laughed endlessly. As Zhuge Liang said, Jingzhou is an important place for soldiers, and it is not suitable to be defended for a long time, if it is abandoned to get the land of Dongchuan and Yongzhou, the territory of Shu can be connected, echoing before and after, and its foundation is more solid. After that, the cause of the emperor is more certain. But at this time, the vulture bone's face suddenly sank, and he opened his mouth to say.
"Having said that, Ma Mengqi is not an ignorant person, if he has reservations, what if he is so?"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he made a move of the goose feather fan in his hand and said with a light smile.
"Lord Ugo doesn't have to worry too much. Ma Mengqi was originally a person from Xiliang, and his Ma clan was one of the heroes of Xiliang in the past, and later Wen Bufan raised troops to attack Liangzhou, Ma Chao led Xiliang Haojie, gathered more than 100,000 elite soldiers, but was finally defeated by Wen Bufan. The Ma clan declined even more because of this. Ma Mengqi is ambitious and arrogant, and now he has the momentum of the Southern Barbarians, won't he regain Xiliang and revitalize his Ma's lintel!? ”
When the vulture bone heard the words, he realized. At this time, Liu Bei's face sank, his eyes narrowed, and he said to Zhuge Liang.
"Ma Mengqi is a tiger and wolf, and he refuses to live under people. If he wins Liangzhou and has the momentum of the Southern Barbarians, he will rebel sooner or later, and he must be guarded against. ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, the smile on his face became stronger, and he whispered to Liu Bei. When Liu Bei heard this, he was stunned, and his face was full of surprise. Don't look at Zhuge Liang's actions have always been above board, and this strategy is extremely vicious. Liu Bei was ecstatic in his heart, but he said it in his mouth.
Kong Ming's plan is too ruthless and unjust. If you do it, you may be scolded by the world! ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face froze, and he shook his head.
"Now that the situation is compelling, the lord must not be kind to a woman. Ma Mengqi has repeatedly made mistakes, and if it were according to military law, he should have been beheaded a long time ago to prove the law. What's more, this person has already grown his wings and has ambitions, if he doesn't get rid of it, sooner or later he will become a big trouble!! ”
Liu Bei listened, sighed, and said with a little unbearable look on his face.
What Kong Ming said is also reasonable. Forgive the monarch and the minister, and hope to be able to give it decently. ”
Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, which was to agree. At this moment, a meteor suddenly came to report the battle in Jingzhou. Liu Bei heard that Hanshou was broken, Pan Feng lost his troops, and now tens of thousands of soldiers and horses such as Huaxiong were surrounded by Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops in Xiangyang. When Liu Bei heard this, his face changed drastically, his eyes were furious, his face was full of horror, and he was even more shocked and speechless for a while. Zhuge Liang's complexion changed, although he also expected that Pan Feng would be difficult to defend Jingzhou, but he did not expect that Pan Feng would be defeated so quickly, and now that Hanshou was broken, the counties in Jingzhou south would be difficult to protect, if Xiangyang was lost again, Jingzhou would fall into the hands of Cao Wei. Zhuge Liang hurriedly stabilized his mind and hurriedly asked the sergeant.
"Do you know what the war in Yuzhou is?"
"Back to the military division, Zhou Gongjin made a big plan to break Zhang Jaw, Zhang Jaw has now retreated to Chen County, Yuzhou, and Wu Bing has entered the realm of Yuzhou."
The sergeant didn't dare to slack off, and was anxious to report it to Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was secretly relieved, and then turned around and said to Liu Bei.
"Don't worry about it, lord. Yuzhou is the important land of Cao Wei, indispensable, if Cao Mengde knows about this, he will pull troops to help. Xiangyang is a place where money and grain are abundant, and the city is impregnable. If the Cao thieves want to attack and take it hard, not only will they suffer heavy casualties, but they will not have a few months to conquer it. The grain in Xiangyang City can last for a year. The lord can make Pan Gong try his best to guard at the moment, and confront Cao Thief slowly, and he can't act lightly. If the momentum is extreme, you can make a decision immediately, abandon Xiangyang, and turn to Xichuan. Cao thief wants to conquer Jingzhou with thunder and turn to Jiangdong, and he will not send troops to pursue. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, his heart, which was about to jump to his throat, fell back slightly, and then issued an order according to Zhuge Liang's words.
Zhuge Liang is a fledgling and has joined Liu Bei, and has fought in the world in recent years, and has never been defeated. And here, with the integration of Feng Xiaopang into Shixi Tang and the flooding of the three armies, Zhuge Liang was defeated first. **Breaking through the Xichuan boundary and approaching the situation, Wen Han divided his troops into two parts according to the plan of the drama Zhicai. One went to Brazil, and the other went to Zitong. Now that the war in Brazil is fighting, and in the battle of Zitong, Xu Shu planned to break the Shu soldiers again, and Zhuge Liang was defeated for a while and retreated to Zitong City. When Wen Han led his troops to settle down, he approached Zitong. The situation of the Shu army is not optimistic, once the two counties of Brazil and Zitong are lost, it will be difficult to protect the land of Yizhou. Zhuge Liang has been defeated repeatedly, and his deification is not necessarily so terrifying.
Looking at the war in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Cao Cao folded Xiahoudun, hated Pan Feng, and wanted revenge every day, and his soldiers finished recuperating. Cao Cao personally led a large army and attacked Xiangyang City repeatedly. Pan Feng and Hua Xiong led their troops to defend the city and fought hard. The female wall of Xiangyang City is high and thick, and each gate is built with urn city, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Yueyu, but still could not win, but lost a large number of soldiers and horses. Now there are only more than 100,000 Wei troops left, and there are only more than 30,000 Shu soldiers left in Xiangyang City. Cao Cao saw that Xiangyang City was eager and difficult to break, and he was bored day and night.
One day, Cao Cao personally led the army under the city, and the generals led the army to put on a formation. Cao Cao rode his horse and stood under the door flag, leaning on the heavenly sword in his hand, and shouted to Pan Feng in the city.
"Pan Wushuang!! Now Xiangyang has become an isolated city, and the land of Xichuan has also been attacked by the Western Tang Dynasty. You have no reinforcements, and the lone man has three times as many as you. Even if you sacrifice your life to defend it, Xiangyang City will not be able to protect it!! Why don't you open the city and surrender quickly!! Otherwise, when Lone attacks Xiangyang and enters the city, the chickens and dogs will not be left!! ”
"Chickens and dogs don't stay!"
"Chickens and dogs don't stay!!"
"Chickens and dogs don't leave !!"
Cao Cao drank it, and fifty or sixty thousand Wei soldiers shouted in unison, their weapons were raised, swords and guns covered the sun, and bursts of cold light flickered, which shocked the faces of the Shu soldiers in the city with panic. When Pan Feng heard this, Feng was stunned and shouted.
"Old thief Cao is arrogant!! If we and other soldiers want to protect this city, it will be difficult for you to break through the millions of soldiers!! ”
Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, and he wanted to send troops to attack. At this time, Guo Jia, who was beside Cao Cao, hurriedly persuaded.
"The lord is angry, Pan Wushuang is defending the city, our army is eager and difficult to break, even if he insists on doing it, it will not add more casualties. In my opinion, why not attack the heart!? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious, and asked with anger.
"What's the plan for Feng Xiao, come quickly!!"
Guo Jia's face froze, and he taught this and that. When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled coldly, and then ordered the front army to press forward, and taught Cao Ren to do so. Cao Ren received the order and taught more than 20,000 soldiers of the former army to shout in unison to persuade the people in Xiangyang City to surrender. But whoever is willing to surrender shall receive a tael of silver, which shall be given to the land. If you don't surrender, when the city is broken, you will kill people regardless of the army and civilians!!
20,000 Wei soldiers shouted in unison, and the people in the city couldn't help but riot when they heard it. Cao Cao also taught the soldiers of the Chinese army, the horse army dismounted and sit, and the infantry army unloaded their armor and rested, as if waiting for the people to offer their doors. Wei Bing's shouts shook the sky. The people in Xiangyang City came out of their houses and involuntarily forced towards the city gate. Several Shu generals, seeing that in the alleys in the city, crowds were surging, and hurriedly came to report Pan Feng. Pan Feng's face changed when he heard this, and he taught the soldiers to lead troops to drive the people away. At this time, Fa Zheng was anxious to persuade Pan Feng.
"Pan Gong must not be like this. If you do evil to the people, they will do the opposite. Pan Gong is doing this, and he is in the arms of Cao's old thief!! ”
Pan Feng's face sank, and he said angrily.
"But if the people are tempted, they will also rebel, so what can they do!?"
"The people are weak, and the lives are all in the hands of our army. If the general does not abandon him, he can keep the city safe. How could the people risk their lives to rebel and sacrifice their menyah!? The general could teach the sergeants to persuade and open granaries for the people. If the people see that the general has the intention of defending to the death, and they see that there is abundant food and grass, they will naturally not rebel. ”
Fa Zheng said in a condensed voice. When Pan Feng heard this, he felt reasonable, his face was shocked, and he bowed his hand to the Fa Zheng.
"If it weren't for what filial piety said, something would have almost broken a big deal. These golden and jade words must be kept in mind. ”
After Pan Feng said that, he taught the sergeants to do what they said according to the law and to act separately. Fa Zheng feared that the sergeants did not know the severity, so he took Ma Liang and others to go there in person, persuading the people on the one hand, and opening the granary on the other hand to give the people money. When the people heard that Pan Feng wanted to defend Xiangyang to the death and would never abandon each other, they were all determined in their hearts, so they rushed to the granary to get grain. When the people took the grain, they saw that the grain and grass were abundant enough to be eaten for a year, and they were also at ease.
However, it was said that during this period, Pan Feng saw that the Wei soldiers were lax in the Chinese army, and expected that Cao Cao thought that his treacherous plan had succeeded, and he was waiting for changes in the city. Pan Feng snorted coldly, and quickly summoned Hua Xiong to come and teach Fu to do so. When Hua Xiong heard this, he was stunned, so he went to point troops. Suddenly, a cannon rang out in the city, and Hua Xiong led an iron cavalry to rush out. The soldiers and horses in front of the Wei soldiers were shouting, and when they saw that some Shu soldiers were coming, they hurriedly stopped their voices, hurriedly raised their weapons, and prepared to fight. Hua Xiongyuan glared at the tiger, raised the tiger's eyebrows angrily, and suddenly the horse flew away, taking the lead and crashing into the Wei soldiers. The Wei soldiers were caught off guard and dispersed. Hua Xiong held a big knife in his hand, slashed and stabbed quickly, as if killing a breach, and the cavalry behind him raised their guns one after another, and the guns were like reeds, which swelled up the breach, and opened a big road with Hua Xiong's killing. Hua Xiong rushed straight away, full of monstrous murderous aura, and the Wei soldiers did not dare to block it, and they couldn't escape. At this moment, there was another cannon sound on the west gate, and I saw that Pan Feng only led hundreds of iron horsemen, hoping that the left wing of the Wei army would come to kill. When Cao Ren saw this, he commanded to resist Hua Xiong's charge, and on the other hand, he sent soldiers to the Chinese army to guard. Pan Feng drove the horse to gallop wildly, and the grand momentum came over. The Wei army was in disarray, Cao Cao got on his horse, and fled from his horse. Pan Feng saw Cao Cao, and his phoenix eyes suddenly shot out two rays of fine light, and he drank loudly.
