Chapter 469: Wait until winter
Sun Guandao: Zhang Jie is not called the queen, he just wants to enjoy it in Luoyang. Don't care about the world's major events anymore?
Tibetan domineering: Impossible, a certain has been in contact with him in Liangzhou for so long, and he knows his ambition very well. How could it be possible to satisfy a King of Wei!
Besides, fighting the world is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. If it is not eliminated, Liu Qi, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and he, the king of Wei, will also be unstable.
Big brother, the enemy army is less than thirty miles away from Wancheng, or listen to Zhang Jie's retreat and go to Xu County. Either go to the city to defend against the enemy, and you can't hesitate! Yin Li shouted.
Tibetan domineering: The general will not accept the foreign military order, so he is really unwilling to give up Wancheng. The order went down, and the gates were closed and the city was kept in the city.
Slow! No, big brother. Sun Guan shouted: Zhang Jiefei is Tao Qian! He told us to retreat, if we disobeyed, even if we held Wancheng, it would not be effective. He will feel that the eldest brother sees Nanyang as his own territory. It's not his Zhang Jie's.
Even if you and my brother desperately defend Wancheng, but if you disobey the order first, I'm afraid you won't be able to end well!
We were originally demoted generals, if we disobey orders again, what will Zhang Jie think? Not to mention that his brothers died in vain, I'm afraid that Zhang Jie will settle accounts in the future! Big brother, listen to Zhang Jie, withdraw it!
Yin Li also said: Big brother, you want to help Zhang Jie sincerely, but is it possible to do bad things with good intentions? Zhang Jie gave up Nanyang, maybe to lure the enemy deeper? Isn't it worthless for us to resist here?
Besides, Zhang Jie is a ruthless person. We can't let him grab anything! Now that you've surrendered, just listen to him! Why do something thankless?
Zangba thought for a moment and said: Okay! The two brothers also said, withdraw!
Promise!
Subsequently, Zangba led 10,000 men and horses, abandoned Wancheng, and retreated to Xu County.
When Wen Ping came to Wancheng, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and there were no defenders in the city, and the people in the city were hiding in the city in fear!
Wen Pingdao: General Huang, why do you think the Tibetan tyrant gave up Wancheng?
Huang Gaidao: I heard that there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tibet, and he must have seen that we have many soldiers and horses, and he was afraid that the enemy would not be able to defeat us, so he simply abandoned the city and fled.
Wen Pingdao: I'm afraid there is another hidden secret! Wancheng is strong, although there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, but if we defend it, although we have 50,000 people, it will definitely not be able to capture it at a moment.
Someone came, sent someone to pass the news to the king, and said that Wancheng was taken, and the defenders such as Zangba fled after the scriptures.
Promise!
Liu Qi and others received the appointment and occupied Wancheng without spending a single soldier. I didn't understand it for a while.
also called everyone to discuss, Liu Qi said: Zhang Jie took the initiative to give up Nanyang again, what is he going to do!
Lu Su said: Nanyang is a strategic place for Jingzhou to march into Guanzhong and Luoyang, and Zhang Jie gave up Nanyang so easily. Su felt that it was too abnormal. Maybe there could be some conspiracy involved?
Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu didn't say anything, everyone was speculating about what Zhang Jie was going to do!
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while. Liu Qi said: Could it be that Zhang Jie thinks that there are too many of us, and he is not sure. So simply withdraw first to guard Luoyang. After a long time, the three of us will definitely withdraw our troops, and he will come back then.
Kong Ming shook his head and said: This is unlikely.
Zhang Jie also has 50,000 horses in Luoyang, and even if he wants to let the Tibetan tyrant withdraw, he will not withdraw to Luoyang. Liang is estimated to be retreating to Xu County, or Wuguan. But Xu County is more likely.
Zhou Yu hated Zhang Jie to the core, and he couldn't forget the robbery of Xiao Qiao.
Dao: Why don't we just march into Luoyang. took advantage of Zhang Jie's arrogance and broke Luoyang in one fell swoop.
Lu Sudao: Wouldn't it be too dangerous? Zhang Jie can't let us take Luoyang easily. Besides, to go to Luoyang, you must first break through the Dagu Pass! But Dagu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is dangerous. There are too many people to disperse, and it is difficult to attack.
Liu Qi's general, Pang Jidao: It is better not to fight Luoyang, so as to wave the army eastward and attack Yuzhou, Yingchuan and other places. Thus persecuting Zhang Mingbing.
Kong Mingdao: There is no point in sending troops to Yuzhou. Zhang Jie's focus is on the north. Even if we occupy a few cities in Yuzhou, as long as Zhang Ming's soldiers are there, we won't be able to defend them. The Central Plains has a lot of flat land, which is conducive to cavalry maneuvering. What we want is to defeat Zhang Jie's main force, not to seize a few cities. What is the use of an empty city like Nanyang?
King, Liang suggests that we still wait for Zhang Mingren's soldiers here! Liang already knew the reason why Zhang Jie hadn't sent troops yet.
Oh! Mr. Kong Ming, do you know the reason why Zhang Jie didn't come out? Tell me about it?
Kong Mingdao: This is also what Liang Gang thought of.
Zhang Jie is waiting for the weather to turn cold. Zhang Jie's soldiers were mostly northerners. When you arrive in Jingzhou, you may not adapt to the water and soil, and you will be prone to illness if you are hit by miasma. There was even a plague. Therefore, Zhang Jie is waiting for the winter to send troops.
In winter, the weather is cold and there is no miasma, and the northern soldiers are hardy, so they are not afraid of fighting in winter. It's less than two months before it's cold!
In fact, there is another important reason why Zhang Jie waited until winter to send troops. That is, most of the southern soldiers are water-based, and when the Wei army crosses the river, we can send water ghosts to scuttle boats, release arrows, and sneak attack. But if it's a cold winter, who would dare to go into the water!
General Xingba, Liang knows that you are superb in water, and you are like a dragon in the sea. How long can you stay in the water in the middle of winter?
Gan Ning Dao: If it is really a cold winter season, the water is biting. I can't stand it even after half a quarter of an hour in the water! If you stay too long, I'm afraid you'll freeze!
Everyone understands what Zhuge Liang said. Liu Qidao: I see. Mr. Kong Ming has a high opinion.
In fact, this is a very simple truth, but most people don't think of it. At this time, everyone also felt that Zhuge Liang was indeed good. Sure enough, it lives up to its name.
If Zhang Jie heard Zhuge Liang's analysis, he would have to admire this guy's superb brain IQ! It's really the same as Zhang Jie thinks!
Liu Qi said: In this way, Zhang Jie should send troops in winter, so if we wait until winter to assemble, it will be too late.
But if you wait here for more than two months, isn't it a bit too much?
Kong Mingdao: If you attack Luoyang now, it will be difficult to succeed. It is better to build fortifications in Xinye and Pancheng. It was mainly to resist the fortifications of Zhang Jie's cavalry. Set up a defensive depth to prepare for the coming war.
used the Nanyang area as a buffer place, resisted step by step, and finally fought a decisive battle with Zhang Jie in the Xinye area.
Everyone also felt reasonable, Liu Qi said: So let's do what Mr. Kong Ming said!
After everyone retreated, Lu Su came to Kong Ming and said: Why is Kong Ming so preoccupied? ?
Ay! Such an important war, but everything has to be discussed before it can be decided, how can this be done, the fighter plane is fleeting. Without unified command, the interests of all parties must be taken into account and weighed against each other in everything. How can you defeat Zhang Jie if you go on like this? Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.
Lu Sudao: Kong Ming wants you to command all the armies, right?
