Chapter 968: A Plan to Break the Siege (Part II)

Not far away, a cannon rang out, and I saw a large ship flying quickly. It turned out that Cao Cao was chasing Zhuge Liang's boat behind, but Zhuge Liang seemed to have noticed something and deliberately took Cao Cao to walk around in the river. Seeing this, Guo Jia's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly woke up, telling Zhuge Liang that there must be fraud in such a trick, and General Xiahou was likely to be ambushed. Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately ordered the soldiers to turn the boat and leave, rushing to the direction of Xiangyang. Later, as Guo Jia expected, Cao Cao saw bursts of flames rising from the sky by the river, and immediately ordered to speed up to save Xiahou Yuan.

The huge warship flew quickly, and the arrows on the big ship fell like a shower. Seeing this, Ma Liang's face changed drastically, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to pull out the boat and leave. The big ship gradually approached, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin saw the reinforcements coming, and the blood broke out, the swords were chopped and chopped indiscriminately, and they just killed the crowd of besieging people, jumped into the river, and looked at the big ship to rush away.

Cao Cao saw it and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go down the river to save him. After a while, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin were rescued on the big boat. There were blood spurting from many places on the two of them, and when Cao Cao saw it, his face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Zhuge villager, you still dare to deceive !!?"

Cao Cao's roar, like a thunderous explosion, exploded on the river, and the huge warship where it was located was like a giant whale. Seeing this, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou were so frightened that they sailed away one after another. Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to sail on the river for a while, and countless arrows fell down the river, shaking the waves.

Maleonn led the fleet back to shore in embarrassment. Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to turn the ship and return.

At night, a small boat on the river slowly approached. Ma Liang, Mi Fang and others waited on the shore for a long time, and when they saw the boat docking, Zhuge Liang walked out. Ma Liang hurriedly knelt on the ground and told him about the past. Zhuge Liang listened to Xiahou Yuan and others who were rescued by Cao Cao, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said secretly in his heart.

"It seems that it is not easy to solve the current crisis!"

Zhuge Liang finished thinking about it, so he helped Ma Liang up, and he did not blame, but comforted him. Mi Fang was beside her, and seeing that Zhuge Liang's plan was unsuccessful, she hurriedly asked.

"Military advisor, right now escaped by that Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin. Our army has no bargaining chips to exchange for the two generals Pan and Zhang, what should we do? ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his expression froze, suppressed the urgency in his heart, and said calmly.

"Although the matter is urgent, I must not be too impatient, otherwise it will only backfire. Wait and follow me to explore the surroundings, look at the surrounding terrain, and then make a conclusion. Cao Lao Thief allowed me three days, and we still have time to think about it!! ”

Zhuge Liang was very calm, and after that, he took a fast horse and walked along the river. Ma Liang, Mi Fang and others followed. After that, for two days in a row, Zhuge Liang surveyed the terrain around the riverside day and night, with little rest, and after many investigations, confirmed that Pan Feng and Zhang Fei were trapped by the Wei soldiers. Zhuge Liang rushed to the top of the mountain, where Pan and Zhang were located, was flooded by the Xiangjiang River, within a radius of several hundred meters, and it was impossible to approach unless a boat sailed. The high mountain where Zhuge Liang is now located is opposite, hundreds of meters apart, and it is not flooded by the Xiangjiang River.

Zhuge Liang stood on the high mountain, looking at the opposite mountain where Pan and Zhang were, his expression was calm, and he looked at it for a long time. Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's face changed, and his eyes burst out with extremely bright brilliance. It was as if the light of heaven and earth had been overshadowed.

Let's say that Cao Cao rushed back that day, it was early summer, the mountain was extremely hot, but the mountain was very cool because of the Xiangshui. The soldiers all wanted to camp at the foot of the mountain to rest, and the generals rushed to ask Cao Cao.

"That is, the weather is hot today, and the army is like a red fire on the mountain, and they all hope to be able to camp under the mountain. I hope the king will decide! ”

Cao Cao heard this, but he was afraid of camping at the foot of the mountain, and was escaped by Pan Feng and Zhang Fei, and then saw the dense forest in the mountain.

The generals were ordered, so according to Cao Cao's orders, they set up camp with the dense forest, and there were many patrols in front of the dense forest, closely monitoring the every move of Pan Zhang, Zhang Fei and hundreds of other people. Guo Jia saw Cao Cao camping in the dense forest, his face changed drastically, and he hurried to see Cao Cao, and admonished.

"Didn't the King of Wei know that Bao Yuanxi was in danger and closed the camp, which is a taboo for soldiers. If he attacks with fire, how can he be saved!? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled in surprise.

"Haha! Why should Fengxiao worry about the sky, why don't you know the art of war!? Now that the mountain is surrounded by water on all sides, even if Zhuge Kongming has great ability, it is impossible to set fire out of thin air. What's more, the weather is hot now, and the soldiers are working hard, so they ordered to camp in the dense forest to escape the heat. And as soon as the three days passed, if Zhuge Liang did not answer, he immediately beheaded Pan Feng and Zhang Fei, withdrew the army, and waited for the water of the Xiangjiang River to pass, and then attacked Xiangyang! ”

Guo Jia frowned, he didn't know what Cao Cao said, but for some reason, he faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong. Guo Jia was uncertain, Cao Cao laughed to soothe him, and the matter of camping was decided.

But said that Zhuge Liang was overjoyed when he saw the Wei soldiers camping in the dense forest, and laughed repeatedly.

"Hahaha, Cao Lao Thief is not familiar with the art of war, Pan and Zhang are saved!!"

When Ma Liang heard this, his face was shocked, but he was confused, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Doesn't the military advisor have a plan!?"

Zhuge Liang bowed his head heavily, made a move of the goose feather fan in his hand, and pointed to the Wei soldiers in the dense forest on the opposite mountain.

"Yes, too. Ji Chang can see that the Wei soldiers are all stationed in the dense forest? If our army is here and set fire, the Wei soldiers will inevitably be in chaos and flee for their lives. Even if we only need to send three small boats to wait at the bottom of the mountain and on the water under the cover of the night, the two generals Pan and Zhang will naturally take advantage of the chaos to break through the encirclement and flee to the bottom of the mountain to wait for us to respond!! ”

Ma Liang's eyes suddenly burst out two fine lights, but he quickly frowned again and asked suspiciously.

"It can be opposite the high mountains, surrounded by water. If our army crosses the river in a big way and wants to set fire to the mountain, it will definitely attract the attention of the other army, startle the snake, and make a mistake. ”

The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth curled, revealing a bright smile, and he smiled.

"Hehe, our army crossed the river and set fire, naturally it is difficult to succeed. But what if I were in the middle of this mountain and set fire to the opposite mountain? ”

When Ma Liang heard this, his brows furrowed even more, and he asked puzzledly.

"But these two high mountains are hundreds of meters together, even with the help of the wind, it is difficult to get arrows? How can we set fire to this mountain across the river!? ”

Zhuge Liang had a pair of bright eyes, shining, extremely bright, and his smile was even better, and then replied.

"Normally, bows and arrows are not allowed. Don't worry about it. The mountain people have their own tricks!! ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he couldn't wait, turned around and left. Ma Liang followed. Zhuge Liang rushed back to Xiangyang City that night, summoned all the generals, and ordered them one by one. Seeing that the three-day deadline was getting closer and closer, the generals were all in a hurry. At this time, Zhuge Liang suddenly returned to the city and issued a military order, which must have a clever plan to relieve the danger of the two generals Pan and Zhang. At present, all the generals in Jingzhou are in high spirits, and they receive orders one by one and make arrangements quickly.

By the next day, the deadline for Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang had arrived. It was a time when the north wind was blowing and the waves were rough. Cao Cao is on the top of a high mountain, looking at the Xiangjiang River.

Cao Cao looked at the first round of the sun, shining on the river, like ten thousand golden snakes, turning waves and playing waves. Cao Cao laughed in the wind, thinking that no matter what today, he could get rid of Zhuge Liang's henchman, and he thought he was ambitious. If Zhuge Liang is unwilling to surrender, as soon as Pan and Zhang die, Liu Bei and these two have an oath to live and die together, how can Zhuge Liang be spared. Even if Liu Bei does not kill Zhuge Liang, he will also be separated from him, and when Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, the monarch and the minister are not in harmony, how can they sit firmly in Jingzhou? If Zhuge Liang is willing to vote, even if he is unwilling to give advice for himself, he is under his own command and will be controlled by himself for the rest of his life.

Zhuge Liang's strategy is as high as the demon iniquity, Cao Cao asked himself the opponent he had encountered in his life, with his most unfathomable and most fearful. Now I see that Zhuge Liang has been pinched in the palm of his hand. Cao Cao was majestic together, on the top of the mountain, full of interest, and said in a loud voice.

"Although the turtle is long, there is still a time. Wolong rides the fog and eventually turns into ashes. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. The period of profit and contraction is not only in the sky. The blessing of recuperation can be eternal. ”

The angry Haoyin shook up, Cao Cao's words were beautiful, wonderful, and the poem was full of contempt for the mandate of heaven, wanting to calm the country and unify the world's aspirations. Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other strategists all admired when they heard it, and all the soldiers under his command heard it, and they were all full of fighting spirit, wanting to take advantage of this fashion and be strong, make more meritorious achievements, and make meritorious contributions.

At that time, Cao Cao was nearly sixty years old, his temples were frost white, and the resolute face carved by the years was full of imposing momentum. This man, whether he is a thief in a troubled country or a minister who governs the world, but his legendary life makes people can't help but be amazed and awe-inspired!!

Cao Cao's singing voice came slowly, and hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers and horses listened to it, and their faces were also moved, and they couldn't help but look at Cao Cao, and their eyes swelled with irrepressible admiration. Pan Feng listened silently, and suddenly his phoenix eyes opened, and he muttered in his heart.

"Such a hero, if the world is ruled by him, maybe it will really usher in a peaceful and prosperous era. It's a pity that even such a hero will eventually die out in the long river of time. ”

Pan Feng seemed to have quite a comprehension, sighed slightly, and then fell silent again. But Zhang Fei pouted disdainfully.

"Humph! Cao Lao Thief, you won't be proud for long, sooner or later, I, Zhang Yide, will take your head! This Han dynasty will only fall into the hands of my brother Liu Xuande in the end!! ”

Zhang Fei's thunderous voice roared, which can be described as a terrible scenery. Xiahoudun listened to it from the side, he was so angry that his whole body was like a fire, his eyes were fierce, his face was hideous, he grabbed the hilt of the sword on his waist with one hand, stepped on it, and roared loudly.

"You reckless man who doesn't know what to do, you dare to speak out when you are dying. If Zhuge Kongming doesn't come today, I will take this black head on your neck!! ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he gritted his teeth, like an angry black panther, and glared at Xiahou in death. Pan Feng slowly opened his eyes, called the third brother, and signaled Zhang Fei not to make a mistake. Zhang Fei also knew the current situation, and he was not allowed to be presumptuous, so he snorted coldly and turned his head. At this time, Cao Ren also walked to Xiahoudun's side and persuaded him coldly.

"Why should Yuan Rang pay attention to such a reckless man, now he is like a fish on a chopping board, life and death are between the king's thoughts. You don't need to be angry, it's just a wild dog barking. ”

Hearing this, Xiahoudun glanced at Zhang Fei coldly, then turned around and ignored it. After a while, Cao Cao finished his poems, and after watching the scenery on the river for a while, he just turned around and saw Jia Xu coming in a hurry. Jia Xu's face was a little anxious, and he said to Cao Cao.

"According to the report of the spy, Zhuge Kongming has been looking at the terrain for days, presumably he must be secretly thinking about strategies, and the king must not guard against it."
