"Great Sima! Protect Da Sima! Jia Kui shouted.

The soldiers rushed forward, formed a human shield, and stopped in front of them.

"I'm fine." Cao Xiu stood up on the ground, "Although the arrow hits the body, it is the key point." ”

Cao Xiu got up and got on his horse, "Let's go!" ”

Cao Xiubing returned to the military village, and not long after, Wang Lingbing also returned here.

Cao Xiu sat in front of him, his face pale and his breath short. "What is the situation of our army in this battle?"

The official said: "There are so many casualties among our soldiers that we cannot count them for the time being. Now it is known that the number of troops surrendered to the enemy is at least tens of thousands, the loss of cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, and vehicles is tens of thousands, and there are almost no military equipment. ”

"No!" Cao Xiu shouted angrily, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down.

"Da Sima!" The crowd stepped forward.

Jia Kui naturally knew why, the arrow was poisonous, and now he was so angry that he didn't have much time left.

Within a few days, Cao Xiu died in the account.

Wang Ling looked for Jia Kui, "The death of Da Sima must not be revealed, if Sun Jun knows, he will attack immediately." ”

Jia Kui: "I know the stakes in this matter, and the general can rest assured." In the current situation, what is the general's strategy? ”

Wang Ling already had a countermeasure, "Now that Sun's army has defeated our army, he will definitely raise troops to attack." I have already contacted the Heqi garrison, and they will bring troops to help, and I will wait for the next city to defend the cities, and if we can't defend it, it will be no big problem. ”

Jia Kui nodded, "It can only be like this, the death of Da Sima." Now you have to report it to the Holy One. ”

Wang Ling was the same, and the two of them stuck to the cities for the next few days, concealing Cao Xiu's death in case of accidents.

Jiangxia County

"Zhuge Liang's army marched in two ways, coming by land and water, and the soldiers of Changsha County also converged and left." Sun Bing reported to the city to defend the steps.

Bu Qi said: "The land of Jingzhou is Jiangxia County. If Liu Jun gets the land of two counties, it will be difficult to say what the world will do. Then he looked at the waiting generals and asked, "What is the retreat of the people?" ”

Sun General Cheng said: "Now that Cao Wei has changed the emperor, he has lost all parts of Jingzhou. Shu Han defeated our country before, and the situation of Eastern Wu is the trend of the world. Zhuge Liang's victory over Xiahou Nan, this person is not said to be a good soldier, a noble son. He is the prime minister, and he has a military strategy and can compare with our long-term battlefield. ”

Bu Qi said to him, deep thought, it is indeed reasonable. And this person is the son of Cheng Pu, who has been fighting with his father for a long time, after all, he has been deeply taught. Cheng Pu died of illness a few years ago, and Cheng Zhi fought in Jiangdong, and was only sent here in recent years.

"So what is Brother Cheng's winning strategy?" Buqi asked.

Cheng Shiyan: "Zhuge Liang's army has arrived, and the transportation of grain and grass is from Yizhou, and it must be transported to the public security by waterway. Our army only needs to enter the mountains and forests and ambush them in the middle. The Jiangdong naval army is the strongest in the world, and the enemy army will not dare to fight lightly. A fleet can be sent from the river to the public security to pretend to block food. ”

When Liu Jun saw this, he would definitely transport grain and go by land. Our army ambushed in the mountains and forests can take the opportunity to sneak attack and destroy his grain and grass! ”

Bu Qi praised, "Clever strategy, but it can stop Zhuge Liang." ”

Kong Ming seized Nanyang County, came from Xiangyang, and went all the way to Jiangxia County along the Han River.

Wang Ping was ordered to go all the way to the front to investigate.

"Surrounded by mountains and forests, it is convenient for ambushes, write it down." Wang Pingzhan was on a high mountain, observing the surrounding situation, and asked the soldiers to draw and mark, and then handed it to the prime minister.

Wang Ping said to a few people again: "The prime minister has an order, everywhere that can be ambushed, you must stay and explore, and a few of you should stay here." ”

In the rear, Kong Ming's army.

"This is the most recent map of Wang Ping's mountain situation, teacher." Ma Tan handed it to Kong Ming.

Kong Ming took it, looked at it a few times, and asked, "How is the grain and grass situation?" ”

Ma Tan replied: "Everything is going well, according to what the teacher said, Xu Shu in Changsha County has been notified, and he rushed to the public security to respond." ”

Kong Ming nodded slightly.

Ma Jian was still suspicious, "Can this be done?" Although Xu Shu is astronomical, the celestial phenomena are unpredictable, and I am afraid that ......"

Kong Ming chuckled, "Yuan Zhi has been in Nanjun for many years, and the changes in the celestial phenomena there every year can already be judged. Only when he is there, I can feel at ease. ”

public security

Xu Shu led the team out to observe the weather all the way, and was out for more than ten days before returning to the city.

The city is guarded by Mi Fang, and this time Xu Shu came back from Changsha County and was surprised. Previously, the general ordered him to guard Changsha to prevent the enemy from attacking, but now the prime minister is here, not to ask him to help and attack Jiangxia together, but to let him come back, which is strange.

"Brother Yuan is back!" Mi Fang learned about it and came to visit. "You have been away for a long time, what have you done? What did the prime minister order you to do here? ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "In this battle, the prime minister attacked Jiangxia, and the grain and grass were important matters, so he ordered me to answer and escort them to." ”

Mi Fang nodded, "I see." The grain and grass from Ba County arrived here, and then I sent people to deliver them. The prime minister is afraid that he is not worried about me, so he sent Brother Yuan to help, I understand. ”

Xu Shu explained: "Brother Zifang misunderstood. The prime minister is not worried about you. ”

Mi Fang hurriedly said: "Eh, I don't have any strange intentions towards the prime minister, you have too much heart." "I think I was almost bewitched by Fu Shiren and surrendered to Sun Jun. Fortunately, the general rescued him, so he is safe today. The general and the prime minister devoted themselves to the country and fought Wei Wu together. We are guarded inside, we can't fight, we are ashamed of ourselves, how dare we have strange intentions. ”

Xu Shu listened to his words, his eyes were solemn, and he seemed to notice something.

The Mi family seems to be heading for the general.

Ba County

"Father, this is an urgent report, the public security is asking for food, let's set off quickly. Within a month, it must arrive. The prime minister is attacking Jiangxia County and needs food and grass to help him. Don't miss the military situation. Li Feng said urgently.

Li Yan chuckled, "What are you panicking about?" We only need to deliver the grain and grass to Ba County, and then we are not responsible. It's a month long enough to arrive. ”

Li Feng: "What my father said is that it has always been like this, what am I anxious about." ”

Li Yan said again: "This Zhuge Liang is powerful, Jingzhou is now poor Jiangxia County." If Jiangxia is taken, the situation of the two states of our country will be worried. It seems that Zhuge Liang is the first to do this time. ”

"I've been waiting for a long time, and no one knows. Why don't we ask for troops too! Li Feng persuaded.

"Don't say it, it's better to come later. Fight on the battlefield, don't look at the majesty now, just one fiasco, the world will forget your glory. In the back, some are merits, and some are power. Li Yan replied.

Li Feng responded, "Yes, that's what I said, I keep it in mind." ”

Shangyong County

"Now that the three counties have been taken, and the prime minister has also taken Nanyang County, when will we raise troops and leave here." Zhang Bao asked.

This is the third time I have asked.

Shi Yue stayed here for various reasons, but they couldn't bear the loneliness one by one, and they didn't know that peace was precious. You, young men. Wouldn't it be nice to take a good vacation and stay here? When Kong Ming takes Jingzhou and returns to China, the next time I fight with him, I won't take you with me again.

"The prime minister came to write and asked the general to send troops to Liangzhou to contain Cao Wei's offense." Liao Hua entered, reported with the book, and handed it over.

Don't hand it to me, don't look at it! I didn't see it, so I don't know, is that okay?

"General, I want to be the vanguard! Take Tianshui-gun! Zhang Bao asked for help.

Take a head! Tianshui is far away from here! I'm not going to take you, I'm going to stay here!

"Zhao Yun and Zhang Yiru stayed in Hanzhong, and Zhang Bao and Huo Yi stayed in Shangyong Three Counties. Each of them should defend their important places and not go to war lightly. The rest went to Wudu with our soldiers and marched to Tianshui. Shi Yue said.

Zhang Bao was displeased when he heard this, "I don't want to stay here!" I hope the general will take me on the expedition! ”

Shi Yue soothed: "The three counties of Hanzhong and Shangyong are the throats of our country, and they can only be defended if they are strong generals and talents." Zilong is a veteran of our army, so he is naturally one of them. I am the only one who can stay. You know what I mean. ”

When Zhang Bao heard this, his heart was shocked, "I will stick to this place, and let Cao Wei come as many soldiers and horses as he wants, and I won't let them break through!" ”。

Shi Yue nodded, "I'll leave it to you." ”

Hmph, young man.
