Chapter 443: Kong Ming's counterattack
"Now that Junyi and Zilong have been out for a day, Junyi is afraid that they have already arrived at Xiaoguan." In the big tent outside Xuzhou City, Liu Wei sat in the tent and watched everyone speak.
"Xiao Guan, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, what is worth worrying about now is Nakaiyang." Zhuge Liang nodded after listening to Liu Wei's words, and then said thoughtfully.
"Kaiyang?" Liu Wei was stunned, not understanding why Zhuge Liang said this.
This Kaiyang is farther away, and it is Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya, who is attacking Kaiyang, as long as he can defend until Zhao Yun goes, it is obviously not a problem to deal with this Xiao Jian.
"What did Kong Ming say about this?" Liu argued with Zhuge Liang and asked.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Langya dares to attack Kaiyang at this time, he must have something to rely on."
"You mean that Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya, is sure of victory, so he will send troops?" Liu Wei frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang and confirmed.
"Yes, if it weren't for that, even if Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya, had an enmity with General Zang Ba, he wouldn't dare to mess around because of His Majesty's deterrence, and it would be impossible for him to send troops so quickly at this time." Zhuge Liang nodded, then looked at Liu Wei and began to analyze.
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Wei also nodded thoughtfully.
Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya, is not a stupid person in his first place, if he is not sure, or if it is an absolute interest, how could he do such a thing.
After all, now that Zang Ba has surrendered to himself, then attacking Kaiyang means that he not only fell out with Zang Ba again, but also offended himself.
With his current land of four states, how can the prime minister of Langya be easily offended.
"Then Kong Ming thinks that what will be the reliance of Xiao Jian, the prime minister of Langya?" After a while, Liu Wei asked again.
"Liang thinks that Liu Bei can make the greatest benefit, but it is to let Xiao Jian take Kaiyang and then rule it, so that Xiao Jian can not only take revenge, but also occupy his land."
"I think so." After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Wei nodded and said.
As long as Liu Bei can do these two things, for Xiao Jian, the hatred and interests will be solved.
But now, although he has guessed the roughly, Liu Wei still doesn't know what Liu Bei and Pang Tong can do to make Xiao Jian able to take Kaiyang smoothly.
With the distance from Kaiyang and the current war, Liu Bei himself will definitely not be able to dispatch men and horses to attack Kaiyang.
Just relying on those people in Langya Country, if you want to have a plan to win, it must be very difficult.
"Your Majesty, Liang thinks that with the strength of Langya State, if you want to have a way to win, then Kaiyang will inevitably have its internal response."
"You mean a mole?" Liu Wei said in surprise.
It's a word he's never wanted to think about.
"Yes, when His Majesty persuaded General Zang Ba to surrender, there was Sun Guan who made trouble, and he was Liu Bei's internal response, so I am afraid that there will be more than one person in this internal response." Zhuge Liang nodded, then looked at Liu Wei and said.
Liu Wei took a breath because he believed Zhuge Liang's analysis.
Now that Zang Ba has submitted to himself, then the people under him are also members of his own camp.
But he didn't expect it, but he still hid his internal response, and Liu Wei naturally felt awkward in his heart.
He is also the emperor anyway, but under such an advantage, there are still people who want to be Liu Bei's internal response.
I have to say that this is really unpredictable, which makes Liu Wei feel a little ironic.
"Then I immediately sent someone to tell Zilong overnight, I hope everything is still in time."
Zhao Yun led the cavalry, and this was already a day ahead, and it was indeed a little difficult to catch up.
Zhuge Liang also understood Liu Wei's worries, but he really couldn't do anything about it.
"Your Majesty, the strategy of this Pang Tong is to divert the tiger from the mountain and divide His Majesty's soldiers and horses, so that the lord can also deal with it."
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Wei and suggested that now that Pang Tong has already made a move, then he has to defend and attack.
Liu Wei couldn't keep up with Zhuge Liang's rhythm for a while, and he said before that he would plan it, but now he was going to start fighting back.
"Since Pang Tong is divided, then he will definitely sneak attack at night and consume with us, Your Majesty can worry about this matter."
"However, in the next few days, Your Majesty still needs to change the state of the previous two days and send General Dian Wei to call for battle."
Liu Wei looked at Zhuge Liang, "If Dian Wei is sent to call the battle at this time, Liu Bei still avoids and does not fight, and our army will definitely not be able to attack if it wants to." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, if you go to call for battle at this time, Pang Tong will inevitably fight, because he wants to test Your Majesty's reality and delay Your Majesty at the same time."
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Wei and said with a smile, very confidently.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Wei quickly understood.
"In that case, then I will do what you say, but this is a plan, so I don't know what about counterattacking?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bian, as if he had expected Liu Bian to ask like this.
"After two days of continuous calling, Your Majesty can start using the method of increasing the foci." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Kong Ming, what you mean is that with the method of increasing the stove, Pang Tong thinks that our reinforcements have arrived, so he will definitely not dare to continue the attack."
"Haha, if it is an ordinary person, it must be useful, but Liang is not like this, on the contrary, the method of increasing the stove, Pang Tong will inevitably think that His Majesty has transferred people and horses to leave again."
The feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand shook it, and then looked at Liu Wei with a smile and said.
"In this way, then Pang Tong will inevitably attack the camp again under the cover of the previous night attack." Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and he quickly understood what Zhuge Liang meant.
Pang Tong, as a phoenix, of course knew that it was impossible to increase troops in such a short period of time, and the only abnormality of increasing the focus was to reduce the number of soldiers.
"Good, in this way, we just need to wait for the battle, and when the time comes, Pang Tong will lead his troops to attack, and we will be able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy army in one fell swoop." Zhuge Liang nodded and said.
After having a plan, early the next morning, Liu Wei asked Dian Wei to lead the men and horses to call for battle.
Everything was just as Zhuge Liang expected, and soon Guan Yu led the men and horses to set up a formation to meet the battle.
Dian Wei and Guan Yu fought again, but the two were inseparable for a while, and Guan Yu did not do his best with a tentative intention.
After a fight, the two separated again after a while.
Dian Wei led the army to kill, but as soon as he reached the city of Xuzhou, he was forced to retreat by the rain of arrows in the city.
Liu Wei was not surprised by this, and he had no intention of taking Xuzhou like this.
At night, as a few days ago, there were death squads outside Xuzhou City to rush and kill.
For two days in a row, Liu Wei acted according to Zhuge Liang's plan until after this retreat.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to let General Dian go to war tomorrow, and then you will start the method of increasing the stove." Zhuge Liang signaled that Liu Wei could act according to the plan.
Liu Wei nodded, he naturally believed Zhuge Liang.
"Strategist, why didn't the Han army come to provoke today?"
When it was close to noon, Guan Yu looked at the city, then looked at the direction of Liu Wei's camp and asked.
"Kong Ming is scheming, not to be underestimated." Pang Tong also frowned and said.
For Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, he never dared to underestimate him.
"General Guan, why does the smoke rising from the Han camp seem to be a lot more today than before." At this time, Zhou Cang on the side pointed to the front and said.
When Zhou Cang said this, Pang Tong also paid attention instantly, and then looked at the direction of the Han army camp carefully.
"That's true." Guan Yu is a person who practices martial arts, so he is naturally more deaf and clear-sighted than ordinary people, and he also nodded at this time.
Although Pang Tong was slower, he quickly reacted.
"This Han army is increasing at this time, could it be that the Han army has reinforcements arriving?" Zhou Cang frowned, looked at Guan Yu and Pang Tong and said.
"Reinforcements? And how can it be so fast? Guan Yu took the lead and shook his head and denied Zhou Cang's words.
"Of course the reinforcements are not so fast, if there are reinforcements so soon, the Han army will be even more advanced today." Pang Tong sneered and said.
"This is Kong Ming's plan to increase and decrease, and this is a great opportunity."
