Zhang Fei hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to be a pioneer, and take advantage of Lu Bu's unstable foothold to kill him by surprise." ”

"Yide don't be impatient, listen to the military advisor first." Zhao Yun pulled Zhang Fei back.

Zhuge Liang continued: "If you want to repel Lu Bu, it will not happen overnight, because in the two states of Xu and Yang, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops of Lu Bu, and he can transfer troops to support the Jingzhou battlefield at any time. Therefore, we must be prepared to fight a protracted war. ”

"Yide."

"The end will be."

Zhuge Liang said: "Aren't you clamoring to be a pioneer, I'll give you a chance to lead an army of 100,000 and garrison Jiangling." ”

"Hahaha... Thank you, Strategist. ”

Zhang Fei couldn't close his mouth with a smile. With an army of 100,000, what else are you afraid of, Lu Bu? He has already decided, when he arrives in Jiangling, he will do a good job and kill Lu Bu's army without leaving a piece of armor.

Zhuge Liang advised: "But... You must remember that the important town of Gangneung is very important, and you can only hold on, not attack recklessly. ”

"Haha... Okay, I'll hold it firmly. Zhang Fei assured.

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are both smart people, and when they saw Zhang Fei's expression, they knew that Zhang Fei would not defend the city honestly, so he suggested to Zhuge Liang: "Military Division, let General Zhao Yun or General Ma Chao garrison Jiangling." ”

"Hey, are you looking down on me Zhang Fei?" Zhang Fei was very unhappy and questioned Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang.

Kuai Yue said: "How dare we look down on General Zhang, it's just that Jiangling is really important.... ”

"The more important it is, the more I have to keep it!" Zhang Fei was very unconvinced.

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, General Zhang will definitely be able to hold Jiangling." ”

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were still worried, and hugged their fists and said: "Strategist, you have to think twice." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled meaningfully and did not reply.

"Meng Qi."

"Yes." Horses out of columns.

Zhuge Liang said: "I will give you 70,000 troops, stationed in the west of Jiangling, on the east side of Changban Slope, if you find the enemy, you will attack from the north and south flanks and raid Lu Bu." Regardless of victory or defeat, retreat to Gangneung to garrison. ”

"No."

"Ling Ming."

"The end will be." Pound is out of the ranks.

Zhuge Liang said: "You lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the headquarters to Yiling to garrison." Pay close attention to the west side of Dangyang, and if you find an enemy, lure the enemy to the north bank of the Yangtze River, east of the White Emperor City. ”

"Order."

Zhuge Liang's eyes were deep, he looked at the generals in the hall, and continued to order: "General Ma Dai, lead the army of 50,000 and go to the east of the White Emperor City to set up an ambush." Hu Che'er led 10,000 troops, and set up suspicious troops between Yidao and Xiling, and it was necessary to intercept Lu Bu who was fleeing west. ”

"No." Ma Dai and Hu Che'er gave up.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's arrangement, everyone understood that Zhuge Liang was going to encircle and annihilate Lu Bu's army in the east of the White Emperor City. But no one knows, how to lure Lu Bu and cross Jiangling? Because Jiangling and Xiangyang are in two directions, according to normal logical reasoning, Lu Bu will take the avenue and go straight to Xiangyang, and will never bypass Jiangling and go to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

"Prime Minister, why don't you let the last general fight?" Zhao Yun's eyebrows tightened.

Zhuge Liang said: "I have other arrangements for you. ”

Night.

One watch time.

Zhuge Liang went to Zhao Yun's mansion.

"Strategist."

When Zhao Yun saw Zhuge Liang, he was very happy. He knew that Zhuge Liang came to him at this time, and there must be something important to entrust him. Maybe he will be given 100,000 troops to garrison an important checkpoint.

After Zhuge Liang took his seat, he asked, "Zilong, do you know the purpose of my coming here?" ”

Zhao Yun said excitedly: "Does the military advisor want to send me to battle against Lu Bu?" ”

"Nope."

Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"That's...?" Zhao Yun had a bad premonition that Zhuge Liang would send him an inconsequential task.

"Zilong thinks that in the battle of Jingzhou, can we defeat Lu Bu?" Zhuge Liang did not squint.

Zhao Yun thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "As long as there are military advisors to make suggestions, with the 600,000 army in our hands, it will not be difficult to win." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "There are no outsiders here, I'll tell you the truth." I'm not sure I'm going to win. I'm here to tell you what to do once Jingzhou is lost. ”

"Please ask the military advisor to solve your doubts."

Zhuge Liang took out the talisman, handed it to Zhao Yun, and said, "You go to the barracks now, select 20,000 veterans, and rush to Nanyang under the stars." Then from General Guan's military camp, 20,000 veterans were selected to go to Dongting Lake. Order the 60,000 sailors of Dongting Lake to go with you to Neijiang, go straight up along Fushui, and occupy Fucheng, an important town in the east of Yizhou. In this way, even if we lose Jingzhou, we can retreat to the next best thing and occupy Yizhou. ”

"Then ordered Zhang Yun, the governor of the navy, to return with 30,000 sailors and raid Jiangxia County. First, force Lu Bu to return to help and reduce the pressure on our frontal battlefield. Second, they copied the back roads of Xu Shu and Gan Ning, so that they could not return to Jiangxia. Third, be prepared to meet the defeated troops in Jingzhou, and as long as the battle of Jingzhou fails, the whole line will retreat to Fucheng. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Zhao Yun realized the seriousness of the matter, and did not have any thoughts of grabbing credit, only wishing to keep Liu Bei's elite. In order to prepare for the battlefield in Yizhou, to achieve a favorable situation.

After the third watch, Zhao Yun led the army out of the city.

Lu Bu's army drove straight into 400 miles, marched to the foot of Lushan on the east side of Jiangling, and was garrisoned by three large battalions, forming a horn-fighting trend.

Why garrison troops on the east side of Gangneung? Because there are 100,000 Jingzhou troops stationed in Jiangling City, if this enemy army is not eliminated or contained, it is possible that the enemy's retreat route will be cut off, forming a situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Although Lu Bu was arrogant, he did not dare to enter Zhuge Liang's encirclement unscrupulously.

in the barracks.

Zhang Liao, Bai Qi, and Liang Hongyu all strive to be pioneers.

Although Wei Yan has troops, he is not far behind.

Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba are even more crazy, and they can't wait to go into Jiangling single-handedly.

After the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army made a sand table, Lu Bu pointed to the sand table and said: "The entire Jingzhou territory is covered with heavy troops in Nanyang, Jiangling, Xiangyang, and Dongting Lake. One hundred and twenty miles to the south, is the fortified Gangneung Castle. If we want to occupy Yangyang, we must first occupy Gangneung. According to the news just sent by the shadow, the general who commanded the 100,000 garrison of Jiangling was Liu Bei's sworn brother Zhang Fei. ”

"Huh? Zhuge Liang actually sent Zhang Fei to guard the city? The generals were shocked and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Liao said: "Let a reckless man defend the city, how can it be undefeated? ”

"The last general suggested that Zhang Fei be lured out of the city and surrounded and annihilated." Bai Qi said.

"Well, that's what I just thought. But... Zhuge Liang is good at scheming and calculating. He knew that Zhang Fei was reckless and overwhelmed, so why did he send him to garrison Jiangling City? Could it be that Zhang Fei is used as bait to set me up? Lu Bu was skeptical.

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and also fell into deep thought...
