Chapter 717: The Danger of Xiangyang
"Strategist, this fish is big, but I'm afraid that if I can't take it, I'll hold my teeth."
Cao Chun smiled bitterly and said, he knew Zhao Yun's ability.
They couldn't stop Zhao Yun at all, and they almost died in his hands when they fought with Zhao Yun.
Cao Ren didn't speak, and Cao Ren also knew that this was not because Cao Chun was growing up with other people's ambition to destroy his prestige, but that this was indeed the case.
Sima Yi glanced at Cao Chun and Cao Ren and spoke, of course he understood what Cao Chun and Cao Ren meant.
However, Sima Yi also knew why they had such thoughts.
Zhao Yun, as a general under Liu Wei, fought in the south and the north, even if he was himself, he almost died there in the first battle of Xinye.
Therefore, when it comes to Zhao Yun's prestige, it is normal for Cao Chun and Cao Ren to have scruples.
"Don't worry, this time, to deal with Zhao Yun, you only need to outwit, no need to attack." Sima Yi raised his hand and said.
If you also need to attack to deal with reinforcements this time, then how can you still have a chance to snatch Xiangyang.
After all, there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in the counties of Jingzhou now, so he must outwit them.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to take Xiangyang, and he would have to use the least number of men and horses to deal with Zhao Yun and attract the defenders of Xiangyang at the same time.
"Could it be that Zhongda already has a good plan?" After Cao Chun heard Sima Yi's words, he immediately stepped forward and asked.
After all, no matter what, I just grew up with other people's ambitions, but this is also something that cannot be helped.
Even if you don't want to admit it, it's still a fact.
It's impossible for me to say big things anymore, you can take down Zhao Yun, if that's the case, you have to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot.
"Well, what does the reinforcements led by Zhao Yun mean that they went to support Xiangyang?" Sima Yi nodded first, and then asked rhetorically.
"Zhao Yunnai is a general under Liu Bian, and he personally led the army this time, which shows that Liu Bianzhi attaches great importance to it, and he is also worried that we will take Xiangyang."
Sima Yi didn't wait for Cao Chun and them to answer, so he asked and answered himself.
However, Cao Ren and Cao Chun didn't mind at all, because they really hadn't reacted yet.
"In this way, Zhao Yun has come thousands of miles, then we are waiting for work, this is our advantage."
Cao Chun nodded, although this is true, but if it is just relying on this, then this is not enough at all.
However, Cao Chun didn't say this, because Sima Yi had already seen it himself.
"I naturally know the worries in General Cao's heart, otherwise where do you think General Li Dian went?" Sima Yi said with a smile.
Cao Chun and Cao Ren were stunned for a moment.
Indeed, if Sima Yi didn't say it, he would have been fighting all day these days, and he would no longer be able to think of Li Dian.
Before, Li Dian followed Yang Xiu to guard Fancheng, but since Sima Yi came back, he didn't see Li Dian.
Originally, they thought that Li Dian was still guarding Fancheng now, but they didn't expect that he was sent out by Sima Yi.
If Li Dian saw Cao Chun and Cao Ren's expressions here, he would probably be speechless, is his sense of existence so bad?
Anyway, that is also a person who has shared weal and woe together and fought on the battlefield, isn't the surname Cao so non-existent?
As night fell, this time Cao Ren led a thousand people in the direction of Xiangyang City.
Cao Ren didn't have many people, but his original goal was not to go to be able to take Xiangyang City in one fell swoop.
After a thousand soldiers and horses came to the city of Xiangyang, the war drums sounded in unison, and the sound of shouting and killing was not broken.
Obviously, this time, they directly omitted the siege of the city, and directly interfered with the rest of the Han army here.
Although Gan Ning wanted to lead the men and horses to rush over directly, but there was no way, he knew that he couldn't do this.
If the centaurs outside the city were just deliberately used to provoke them, bait, for the sake of the centaurs to venture out of the city, then it would not be worth it.
But rest, not to mention that the noise under the city makes them have no chance, even if they have a chance, Gan Ning would not dare to rest.
If there is really anything, once the rest is over, if the Cao army attacks the city, then it will be all over.
After they took over the city defenses, they didn't plan to rest that night, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Compared with the bustle of Xiangyang City, Xupu County at this time is very quiet.
Zhuge Liang sat in the hall, since he saved them once, Cheng Bing didn't dare to say anything more even if he had any opinions now.
Zhuge Liang didn't care about this phenomenon, and he didn't plan to live in Jiaozhou.
At most, there are fewer people like Cheng Bing, and they can be purer, that's all.
In the past two days, Zhou Yu did not attack Xupu County, and Zhuge Liang certainly knew Zhou Yu's purpose.
Zhou Yu guessed that after he showed his hand, he would let Shi Xie increase his troops, so Zhou Yu planned to delay time this time.
The purpose is naturally to prevent himself from returning to Xiangyang as soon as possible to help, but the more Zhou Yu does this, Zhuge Liang also understands.
Sima Yi was afraid that he had already thought of a strategy, but Sima Yi's strategy would take time.
What Zhou Yu is waiting for now is to create such a condition for Sima Yi.
Zhuge Liang was thinking about what to do to be able to drive Zhou Yu's people out in advance, and at the same time, he was also thinking about what Sima Yi's plan was.
After all, it has been some time since he came to Jiaozhou, which is not a long time for Sima Yi, but it is not short.
But such a long time has passed, Sima Yi has not yet succeeded, and Zhou Yu is still helping.
This can show that Sima Yi's strategy has not yet begun.
What kind of strategy is this, and it takes so long to be a condition?
"Strategist, Huang Youtaishou is here."
Just when Zhuge Liang was pondering, there were already soldiers who came to report to Zhuge Liang.
"Let him in." Zhuge Liang glanced outside and said.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang also got up and stood up, no matter what, he was a guest when he came to Jiaozhou.
This Huang You is not only the Taishou of Jiuzhen County, but also the younger brother of Shixie, so he naturally still has to give Huang You face.
Moreover, this is a kind of etiquette and respect, and naturally it cannot be completely ignored.
"Mr. Zhuge is really sorry to disturb you so late, Mr. Zhuge doesn't have to be polite, please sit down."
After Huang You came in, he saw Zhuge Liang standing up, and he immediately smiled and said.
The more he looks at Zhuge Liang now, it is much more pleasing to the eye than this Cheng Bing.
Zhuge Liang is not only capable, but also very appropriate.
Of course, maybe Huang You knew what happened at the beginning, and he had already expected it in Zhuge Liang, and deliberately let them defend the city and then chase after him, so he wouldn't think so.
But it's a pity that Huang You, he will never know.
"It's not late, I just don't know that this Huang Tai came at night, but what can't be done?" Now that there is no war in Xupu, this Huang You suddenly came, which made Zhuge Liang a little confused.
Before, all he was thinking about was about Xiangyang and how to repel Zhou Yu, where could there be this Huang You's position.
So a person popped out so suddenly, which really made Zhuge Liang not understand which one Huang You was singing.
"Zhuge Military Division, I listened to the words of the military advisor that day and sent the letter to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother agreed to send troops."
Huang You looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile Although he didn't value Shixie's praise, it could improve his status.
can make his Huang You's ability recognized by more people, and if he really wants to compete for something in the future, this will naturally be beneficial.
So from this point of view, he Huang You should naturally thank Zhuge Liang, not only that, but once Zhuge Liang helped him recover Jiuzhen County.
At that time, not only will his territory come back, but his reputation will also go up, which Cheng Bing can't give himself as a fool.
Cheng Bing, a fool, said that the head was the Tao, but the result was a big disappointment.
"Mr. Zhuge , this reinforcement is coming soon, and everything will be arranged by Mr. Zhuge at that time." Huang You said enthusiastically.
"Reinforcements?" Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that this was Sima Yi's plan.
As a result, Xiangyang is in danger.
