Chapter 387: Mingmou

But he said...

Outside the city.

Tens of thousands of Qin troops led by Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhuge Liang have been attacking Shangyong City for a while, but they have not yet taken Shangyong City.

After all, there are also tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops guarding Shangyong City, and the leader is Kuai Liang Kui Zirou.

He still has a lot of ability.

You must know that Liu Biao has just arrived in Jingzhou to take office, although he has the support of the Cai family in Jingzhou and the rest of the scholars, he can quickly stabilize Jingzhou, and he still has a certain prestige in Jingzhou, all because of Kuai Liang's assistance.

It can be said that Liu Biao was able to control Jingzhou, and most of the credit was due to Kuai Liang.

And Zhao Yun and others led the army out of Yizhou and attacked Shangyong and Wuling, and it was also the strategy that he put forward that could not be held, so that he could resist Zhao Yun and others for such a long time.

Even to the two places of Shangyong and Wuling, they have not fallen into the hands of the Qin army until now.

In the same way, it was preventing the Qin army from continuing to move forward.

If this were not the case, Jingzhou might not be the situation it is today, let alone block the three-way Qin army, so that the Qin army could not quickly take the land of Jingzhou.

I have to say.

Kuai Liang still has a certain understanding, and he knows that he is not an opponent when he confronts the Qin army head-on, and only by holding on and waiting for the opportunity can he have a chance to counterattack.

As long as it can be delayed, there is still a great chance.

......

In the camp of the Qin army outside Shangyong City.

Wei Yan and the others also gathered together to discuss how to take Shangyong City.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Gongzi has led the army to Nanyang, he has rejected Liu Biao, and we have been ordered to attack Shangyong City, but now we have not achieved an inch, how can I do it?" Wei Yan asked.

Heard Wei Yan's question.

Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhuge Liang were all silent.

Originally, when Liu Biao and Yuan Shao joined forces and conquered the land of Sili, they led their troops out from Yizhou, but now the coalition army has been defeated, and Qin Yin also led the army to Nanyang, but they have not yet taken Shangyong City.

According to estimates, they should have captured Shangyong City a long time ago, and then united with Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses to besiege Xiangyang with the army led by Qin Yin himself.

But in reality, it is dragged here, and it cannot move forward.

"The Jingzhou army can't hold out in Shangyong City, although we can take a detour directly to Xiangyang City, but in this way, we will definitely suffer from the enemy, if the defenders of Shangyong City go out of the city, it is not difficult to take Shangyong City!" Zhang Ren said.

Yan Yan also nodded, and said: "I also agree with what General Zhang said, although there is a certain certainty of taking Shangyong City by storming, there will be another situation, and even if Shangyong City is captured by force, our army will have great losses, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

They did not fail to think about the issue of a strong attack.

But the Jingzhou army guarding Shangyong City, in terms of troops, is not less than their soldiers and horses, and they also rely on the city wall, plus the principal is Kuai Liang, so they don't have much chance.

Unless they can sacrifice at all costs.

But in this way, it would go against their original intentions, and if they suffered heavy losses, they would not be able to continue the expedition to Jingzhou, so they could only stop.

That would be the same as a stalemate with the Jingzhou army here, and it would not be much different.

That's what they worry about.

They want to take Shangyong City, but they also want to preserve their strength, so that they can continue to wave their army to Xiangyang and conquer the land of Jingzhou, not just take Shangyong City.

After listening to the words of the two.

"Zhuge Military Master, do you have any ideas?" Wei Yan looked at Zhuge Liang and said.

He was clear about the words of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, otherwise, he would not have been in a stalemate here for so long with the Jingzhou army led by Kuai Liang.

But that's not what he wants.

And Zhang Ren and Yan Yan also looked at Zhuge Liang.

Among them, if there is a way to solve the problem in front of them, it must be Zhuge Liang, they all know that Zhuge Liang's wisdom is not comparable to them.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang is also one of the military divisions under Qin Yin.

Without a little ability, an ordinary strategist can't enter the team of military advisors.

Noticing the gazes of the trio.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand and said, "I think that what General Zhang and General Yan said makes sense, but now the situation is different, why not take a risk?" ”

Hear the words.

Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan were overjoyed, and it was obvious that Zhuge Liang had a certain idea.

"Where did the plan come from?" Wei Yan asked anxiously.

"Since the Jingzhou army refuses to come out of the city, why don't we let them come out on their own, before we were worried that they would be attacked by the enemy, but now Gongzi led the army to Nanyang, and Liu Biao also led the army to guard Nanyang Town, then, we can directly detour to Xiangyang City, without worrying about the enemy."

"And if we lead the army to make a detour to Xiangyang, Kuailiang, who is guarding Shangyong City, will definitely have a move, and it is not impossible to come to stop it, then..." 、

Zhuge Liang also said what he thought in his heart.

Thinking of such a strategy, it was also because of Zhang Ren's words, as long as Kuai Liang led the army out of Shangyong City, then they would be able to change the current situation.

Moreover, Liu Biao led the army to be dragged in Nanyang, and Xiangyang only had 30,000 defenders, even if he made a detour to Xiangyang now, he no longer had to worry about the problem of being attacked by the enemy on his back.

And this is a conspiracy.

lured Kuai Liang to lead his troops out of Shangyong City.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words.

"What if Kuai Liang resolutely refuses to lead his troops out of the city?" Yan Yan asked the doubts in his heart.

Wei Yan and Zhang Ren also nodded in agreement.

After listening to what Zhuge Liang said, they knew what Zhuge Liang had planned, which was to force Kuai Liang to lead his troops out, but they still had some doubts.

After all, Kuai Liang is not an ordinary character, and it would be so easy to be fooled there.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this, if Kuai Liang does not lead the troops out, we can directly lead the troops to Xiangyang, and if we take Xiangyang, we will be able to divide all parts of Jingzhou and gradually devour them; If Kuailiang led his troops out, then he would first capture Shangyong City, and then march to Xiangyang. ”

In his heart, he firmly believed that Kuai Liang would lead his troops out.

Even if Kuai Liangming knew that it was a plan, he would take action, after all, Xiangyang was an important place, and it was Liu Biao's base camp.

Now that there is no threat of being exposed to the enemy, such a plan can be carried out.

If it had been before, he really wouldn't have come up with such an idea.

That's asking for trouble.
