Chapter 699: Kong Ming's counterattack
"What Dezu said is that now that we are both united, even if it is Wolong, then he has to lie down honestly."
Li Dian also laughed after hearing Yang Xiu's words, he felt that the grievances he had suffered during this time, those failures, this time he could finally have a chance to be ashamed.
"Then General Li still needs to be well prepared, but this Han army should not be underestimated, they are scheming, and they still need to be more prepared."
Yang Xiu smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Li Dian's reaction.
However, Yang Xiu was not the kind of person who was completely carried away, so he quickly looked at Li Dian and instructed.
Obviously, when he was guarding Xiangyang before, that defeat still made Yang Xiu quite jealous and didn't dare to be too careless.
"Yes." Li Dian should arrive after listening to Yang Xiu's words.
This time, as long as the Han army dares to attack the city at that time, then he must give him a good look, and see what they are capable of when the time comes.
"By the way, since the Han army has sent troops, any news must be reported immediately, and a copy will be passed to Sima Yi at the same time."
Just as Li Dian was about to go out, Yang Xiu stopped Li Dian, and then added.
"Someone has been sent to deliver the news." Li Dian said after listening to Yang Xiu's words.
In the evening, as Li Dian expected, Gan Ning led his men and horses to camp thirty miles away from Fancheng.
The army has been marching for a day, and now it is almost night, so it is definitely impossible to lead the men and horses to attack Fancheng at this time.
After saying that Gan Ning was clear about his purpose, Zhuge Liang had instructed that he only needed to surround Fancheng for three days.
When the time comes, they will decide whether to attack Fancheng or not, so in the past few days, they just need to be prepared and not be attacked by Cao's army.
"It's strange, yesterday, it was too late, and it was still understandable that these Han troops would not attack the city, but now at this time, why don't they attack."
"Don't they know the speed of soldiers?"
Early the next morning, Li Dian personally came to the city, but it was already noon, and there was still no intention of the Han army to attack.
Aren't they afraid that when the time comes, their own reinforcements, Sima Yi and they won't be able to come back to help?
The more Li Dian thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of this.
Therefore, Li Dian immediately ordered the soldiers to guard the city, and then went to inform Yang Xiu of all this.
Li Dian had seen the methods of the Han army, so he didn't dare to make judgments indiscriminately, lest things be ruined.
On the way to find Yang Xiu, Li Dian was also a little helpless.
Since losing to the Han army a few times, I have become a little timid.
Thinking of this, Li Dian couldn't help but smile bitterly in the end.
"General Li, why are you here? Could it be because the Han army did not attack the city? ”
Although Yang Xiu didn't go to the city of Fancheng today, the morning was almost over, and he didn't hear any movement at all.
Therefore, Yang Xiu can naturally judge it.
Besides, if the war is tight, where does this Li Dian have the opportunity to come here at this time.
"Yes, this Han army came in a hurry, but it was not in a hurry to attack the city, I think there must be fraud in this, I don't know what you think?"
Li Dian nodded directly, without denying it, he was not surprised at all that Yang Xiu was able to see through his intentions.
"This matter is indeed strange, you need to pay attention to it, lest the Han army sneak attack, and ignore him for the time being."
Yang Xiu frowned and said, he was naturally worried about whether the Han army was planning to attack Fancheng again.
This is not to attack Fancheng, perhaps it is just a cover for the Han army.
The day passed quickly, and there was no movement from Ganning's army.
The camp was in Fancheng, as if nothing had happened.
In the evening, Yang Xiu received the news that the Han army was detouring to capture Changsha and other places.
"It seems that this is the conspiracy of the Han army, he is deliberately holding us back again and capturing Changsha, Lingling is their goal."
Li Dian immediately spoke after hearing the news.
Yang Xiu didn't speak, he looked at the information in his hand, and then looked thoughtful.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the counties of Changsha, and it is not easy for them to attack."
"Besides, if they really went to Changsha with the purpose of going to Changsha, then why didn't they surround Fancheng and let the news be transmitted."
"And since they spared the Fancheng march, why did the news spread so quickly, as if they deliberately let us know."
Yang Xiu quickly spoke, although he didn't know if it was true or not. But these are obvious doubts.
On the march, for them, no doubt can be let go.
Not only that, but also to be able to discern what to believe and what to believe.
"This..."When Yang Xiu said this, Li Dian also hesitated, what Yang Xiu said was not without any truth.
"But what if these are just deliberate actions by the Han army, then wouldn't we miss the opportunity to rescue Changsha and other counties?"
Li Dian looked at Yang Xiu and said.
Yang Xiu didn't speak, but he also knew that it seemed that this time, this Zhuge Liang had also set a match for them.
And whether it is saved or not, there is a risk, once rescued, the Han army outside Xiangyang City, it is not a vegetarian thing.
Okay, good Zhuge Liang, it seems that I really underestimate you.
"This is to wait and see what happens in advance, wait for the news to reach Sima Yi, and see if it returns to the army, as for all parts of Changsha, pass the order down, defend the city, and defend the city."
Yang Xiu thought about it and said, when he didn't completely think of how to deal with it, it was the best choice to defend the city now and wait for the changes.
Two days passed, and on the other side, Sima Yi finally received news from Fancheng and everywhere.
"It seems that this Zhuge Liang really has the ability, and he dares to directly send troops in two ways." Sima Yi couldn't help but say after reading the news.
"That's good news, and then we'll be able to break it down when the time comes."
Cao Chun immediately spoke after listening to Sima Yi's words.
"No, it's not as simple as mine." Sima Yi glanced at Cao Chun and immediately spoke.
"This Zhuge Liang is not an incompetent person, even if he can send troops, but it is impossible for the troops to be sent in two ways."
"But it did, maybe he was trying to confuse us?" Cao Ren said at this time.
"Don't forget, Zhuge Liang is a cautious person by nature, it is too dangerous to divide the soldiers into two ways, and have you received any information about the battle in Fancheng?"
Sima Yi glanced at Cao Ren, and then directly asked rhetorically.
"Not really, but even if there is, it's not that fast." Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sima Yi and replied.
"Yes, since there is no such thing, this shows that the Han army did not start attacking."
Sima Yi glanced at Cao Ren and continued, the distance between Xiangyang and Fancheng is not too far, if there is an attack.
How could the news not have been transmitted, that is to say, this was done by Zhuge Liang on purpose.
He also not only set up an ecstasy array for himself, but also can use his own choices to make a plan.
"Good Zhuge Liang, it seems that I still underestimate you." Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"The order goes down, and the army will hold off tomorrow." Sima Yi thought for a while and said,
Zhuge Liang, I want to see how much time you have to spend with me.
As long as your army is in action, you can return to the army.
Moreover, whether it is Fancheng or Changsha, it is not so easy to conquer.
At the beginning, in order to prevent the plan from failing, he strengthened the city defenses everywhere.
As long as they defend the city, they must be able to hold out until they return to the army.
The three days passed quickly, and the two men and horses did not attack according to what Zhuge Liang said, and did not start attacking until the fourth day.
"Okay, it's finally here."
After Sima Yi received the news, he immediately sneered and said.
However, when the army returned to help, Sima Yi's face changed, "It's not good, it's a trick." ”
