Chapter 1289: Temptation to attack the camp
Zhuge Liang's reply was very simple, only four words: "You can fight!" ”
Liu Bei's face was a little ugly at that time, and he felt that he had been fooled by Ma Chao again. But what went wrong that day, Liu Bei couldn't figure it out.
Looking at the piles of bottles and cans around Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei finally couldn't help but speak: "Military advisor, why did this Ma Chao provoke me so much that day?" ”
"Because he is testing you, seeing through your heart, and seeing through your nature, and then he can hand over Jingzhou to you with peace of mind." Zhuge Liang did not have the usual indifference this time, but with a little anxiety about falling into an unsolvable problem, he just said the reason directly.
Liu Bei's face was even more ugly, before this time he sent out the army, Zhuge Liang brought such a pile of bottles and cans, and specially instructed the people who carried them to handle them gently. Even the major events of the war situation, he didn't seem to have any interest. A strategist and military advisor, such a dereliction of duty, Liu Bei is not a person who connives, he looked at Zhuge Liang, and continued to ask in a very slow but firm tone: "Military advisor, what is the victory or defeat in this battle?" ”
Zhuge Liang felt that Liu Bei was already slightly angry, he stopped his busyness, restored a river of indifferent quietness, picked up the goose feather fan that did not leave his body and shook it, walked out of the desk, and found a place to signal Liu Bei to sit down, before bowing down and apologizing: "Lord, Liang has been refining a weapon of the country recently, if he has achieved something." The Ma family's iron cavalry is also difficult to be its power, this is a brilliant move, which delays the war, and I hope the lord will not blame it. ”
"What is it?" Liu Bei was surprised, he couldn't imagine that Zhuge Liang still had such ability.
"If you haven't succeeded, you may not succeed in your life, and if you say it at this time, it will inevitably increase your laughter." Zhuge Liang just shook his head, it seemed that he didn't want to talk too much about this matter before he studied it.
However, his mind was extremely quick, and without waiting for Liu Bei to continue to ask, he took the initiative to change the topic: "Although Liang has not heard anything outside the window these days, he also knows the general situation. It doesn't hurt for the lord to fight this battle, as long as the lord is indomitable, he will definitely be able to take Sun Ce's camp. Even a big break with the Jiangdong Army is not impossible. ”
"Oh?" Looking at Zhuge Liang's appearance in his chest, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a touch of confidence, and asked with a smile: "Why is the military advisor so determined?" ”
"Because Sun Ce didn't die at all, Zhou Yu's deceitful plan can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from the three people here."
Liu Bei silently counted in his heart: Zhuge Wolf must be one of these three people, and Ma Chao naturally saw through Zhou Yu's plan, so the third person, does it mean? ……
"The military advisor is saying that the ugly young man next to Ma Chao is also a wise man." Although this is a question sentence, Liu Bei's tone is very affirmative. I don't know why, at that moment, when Liu Bei's mind was neutral, the young man's face appeared.
"What's more," Zhuge Liang suddenly showed a very strange look, but he still praised very sincerely: "That person is secretive, bold and unruly, but his methods are not exaggerated to describe as unpredictable. Does the lord still remember the danger of Chang'an two years ago? It's this person who directs it! ”
"What?!" Liu Bei stood up suddenly, since he got Zhuge Liang, he really understood the importance of an excellent strategist to a group. And now Zhuge Liang has distractions, if he can recruit that young man, wouldn't it be better to have wings for the tiger?
What's more, as we see today, the relationship between him and Ma Chao is not subordinate, let alone harmonious. As for the identity of the courtier...... At the beginning in Xuchang, a Taifu with a rank of more than two thousand stones was not as good as a speaker in Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion in the West Cao Peng, Liu Bei felt that if that young man was really smart, he would understand how to choose.
But then seeing the strange look on Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Bei knew that he might not be able to discuss this matter with Zhuge Liang, so he also changed the topic at the moment: "Since the military advisor knows that Sun Ce is cheating to death, wouldn't I be in the middle of Zhou Yu's plan when I attacked this time?" ”
"Because of this, the lord may win." Zhuge Liang also seemed to be a little uneasy at this time, but he only smiled proudly at this: "If the lord doesn't believe it, you will know it by trying." If you are defeated and return, you will be punished! ”
Liu Bei comforted Zhuge Liang with a few words, and then ordered his troops to return to Sun Ce's camp, looked at Chen Zhi and Zhang Fei's two generals beside him and said slowly: "No matter what, a battle in its camp today is inevitable." Third brother, you are in charge of the main attack, tearing apart the defense of the Jiangdong Army on one front and one front, no matter how strong Zhou Yu's counterattack is, you will suppress him for me. Uncle Zhi, you lead the big-eared cavalry to be ready to fight at any time, I am behind Yide, forming a cone-shaped formation, as long as the front is a little broken, the back will all rush up, tear the breach to the maximum, and let Zhou Yu expose his belly! ”
In the end, perhaps to motivate the soldiers, or to comfort himself, Liu Bei said loudly: "Yun Chang's 10,000 elites should rush to the river soon, can everyone dare to serve their lives and let Yun Changbai run?" ”
"Hahaha," Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this: "The proud temperament of the second brother, if he really saw the white robe, wouldn't his face be even redder?!" ”
The soldiers burst into laughter, and their morale was definitely not low, Zhang Fei immediately roared again, stepped on the black horse, and took the lead with his elite soldiers to fight away.
But when the fight really started, I found out that Zhou Yu was indeed using procrastination. He only defends, not attacks. In the face of Liu Bei's army with high morale, the Jiangdong military camp is at a disadvantage, but when it comes to fighting, Zhou Yu's ability is indeed above Liu Bei, Zhang Fei's rapid sprint, Chen Zhi's fierce breakthrough, Liu Bei's steady attack, and the cooperation can be regarded as seamless.
However, although the Jiangdong Army also retreated, it retreated in a measured and confident manner. Where to give up, where to fight, where to give up first and then fight, where to let the enemy lead the battle so that the enemy can enter his encirclement, Zhou Yu grasped it very accurately. In this way, Liu Bei suffered a big loss, although he tried his best to attack, but he has not been able to launch a complete offensive. It felt like walking on a dirt road in big boots, and it was hard to walk no matter what.
He was uncomfortable, and Zhou Yu was even more uncomfortable at this time. Over time, both sides have come to a real fire. At this moment, Zhou Yu stood on the lookout, while hurriedly issuing military orders transmitted to the battalions, while observing Liu Bei's offensive. It can be seen that the Jiangdong camp and Liu Bei's army have entered the stage of stalemate, and even Liu Bei has joined the melee with Cai Mao's army, but Ma Chao is standing still in front of the camp, and the 20,000 Nanyang elites behind him are like standing wood.
"Strategist! Ding Fengying, the right wing of the big battalion, took fifty steps back! Another order came up, which made Zhou Yu's handsome face, which was already scorched and ruined by beauty, even more angry.
"Send 2,000 people from my personal guard to support, and tell Ding Feng that this is the last batch of reinforcements. If you can't resist Zhang Fei's attack, don't come back to see me! ”
"But, but...... The soldiers had shot arrows for two hours, and the archers could not bear the fingers! ”
Zhou Yu turned his head abruptly and replied with an expression: "If the finger is broken, use your mouth; When the mouth is cracked, use your teeth. I want archery, not an excuse. ”
The herald had never seen such a ruthless side of Zhou Yu, and when he was ordered to leave, after a short time, an overwhelming rain of arrows smashed into Zhang Fei's cavalry array, and a burst of blood mist immediately rose.
But this effect did not make Zhou Yu's face soothe for a while, and Lu Su on the side was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Gong Jin, open the hole cards." can't swallow Ma Chao's elite, and it's good to keep Liu Bei here. ”
"No, Ma Chao's elite is undefeated, and we still can't turn the situation around. What's more, Liu Bei has now invested 50,000 troops, all of which have been eaten by us, which is really worth the loss! Zhou Yu slammed his fist on the armrest of the lookout, gritted his teeth suddenly, and ordered: "Order, the army retreats!" ”
"Gong Jin!" Lu Su's face changed greatly: "Are you crazy? ”
"No, Ma Chao is obviously also testing our bottom line, I will give up this camp this time!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, and the ruthless momentum around him was no less than half a point of Sun Ce: "As long as we can ensure that Huang Zu can successfully bypass Huarong Dao, then even if the camp retreats for a hundred miles, we will win!" ”
Lu Su was silent, he knew that Zhou Yu was gambling, but the price was too great, and he was a little uncertain. He didn't expect that a Ma Chao would appear on the battlefield so quietly, and he didn't even go to the battlefield in person once, and he forced hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangdong to such a final end, which made him very jealous.
"Now it seems that only Gong Jin's fight can completely defeat Ma Chao...... Lu Su thought so in his heart, but the corner of his eyes seemed to see some unbelievable scene, and the whole person froze in place: "Gong Jin, look there!" ”
Zhou Yu followed Lu Su's pointing, and at a glance, the whole person was immediately shocked......
