Chapter 2205: Which Way to Take (Page 1/1)

Liu Qi has a deep understanding of this, otherwise he would not have become a puppet in Liu Bei's hands.

Guan Yu led hundreds of soldiers back to the army, so that Liu Bei was relieved a lot, now the generals in the army are only Guan Yu, the war in Chengdu City, so that the generals in the Yizhou army have been sharply reduced a lot, more people have chosen to surrender, the influence of the family in the army is shown at this moment, there were originally more than 10,000 defenders, and there were definitely no more than 1,000 people killed in the fight against the enemy, and the rest of the soldiers surrendered directly.

The city gate was opened, allowing the army of the King of Jin to enter the city, it must be from the handiwork of the family, for the family of Yizhou, Liu Bei only had anger at this time, if these families were unswervingly on his side, once the soldiers and horses of the southern counties arrived, he would have the capital to confront Lu Bu.

It is precisely because of the actions of these families who disregard the overall situation that the Yizhou Army has fallen into the current situation, but now Liu Bei can only suppress these anger temporarily.

After learning the situation ahead, Zhuge Liang frowned, there were three roads to retreat from Chengdu City to the southern counties, the widest of which was the official road, and the other two were small roads, which were much more difficult to walk.

"My lord, the scout has sent a message, and there is no movement on the road ahead." Zhuge Liang was puzzled, this raid by the Chang'an army must have been premeditated, and it was impossible not to set up an ambush outside the city.

"Kong Ming, I'm afraid the enemy army will ambush soldiers and horses on the main road." Liu Bei said: "What about the rest of the roads? ”

"Of the three roads leading to the southern counties, there is no movement on the main road and the side road on the left, and there is some fire on the right road." Zhuge Liang said.

"In Kong Ming's opinion, which road is more appropriate to take to go to the southern counties?" Liu Bei asked.

"From the point of view of his subordinates, the possibility of the King of Jin ambushing soldiers and horses on three roads at the same time is very small, the King of Jin has more than 30,000 troops in his hands, and when attacking the city, he used at least 20,000 troops, and now he has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, in addition to the soldiers and horses guarding the camp, the troops that can be used may be 10,000 people, if the soldiers and horses are ambushed on three roads at the same time, it will definitely be difficult to leave our army, and the King of Jin may be ambushed on one of the roads." Zhuge Liang analyzed.

Liu Bei nodded slightly, feeling that Zhuge Liang's analysis was very reasonable, the more at this time, the more it can reflect the value of a strategist, this is the most critical moment for the Yizhou Army, a slight wrong step will affect the overall situation.

"On the main road, there is a great possibility that the enemy will ambush the soldiers and horses." Zhuge Liang said slowly, the war has reached this point, he should be more cautious, and it is best to be able to figure out Lu Bu's thoughts thoroughly, so as to avoid greater losses to the Yizhou army.

At present, it is the most urgent moment for the Yizhou army, if it encounters the enemy's ambush on the way, it is not just a failure, the successive failures of the Yizhou army, so that the officers and men in the army are nervous, worried about the attack from the enemy, and encounter the enemy's ambush, and it is very likely that the situation will occur is that the soldiers in the army are defeated.

The fact that Chengdu City was breached has already illustrated this point very well, and the Yizhou army has lost its fighting spirit when facing the enemy.

"If the enemy is ambushing soldiers and horses on the main road, which of the two roads on the left and right is more suitable?" Liu Bei asked, even he could not choose the main road to move forward, the possibility of the enemy ambushing soldiers and horses was too great, his scouts only slightly probed the situation ahead, and if he retreated from the main road, once the enemy's cavalry found out the news and pursued, it would still be a big trouble for the army.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time and said: "Lord, in the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to take the road on the right, the way of the art of war, the truth is real, the road on the right side has fire, the scouts of our army can find this, and the enemy army must also take into account these problems." ”

"What Kong Ming means is that the road on the right is deliberately arranged by the enemy to make our army dare not walk on this road?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang nodded with a heavy face, between the virtual and the real, in fact, he did not have a greater certainty, if Lu Bu did the opposite, it would be the Yizhou Army who would be unlucky in the end.

"In this case, the place where the enemy is ambushing is the road on the left." Liu Bei said.

After Guan Yu on the side heard Zhuge Liang's words, he frowned, and chose the right path, he always felt that something was wrong, but he had no reason to refute Zhuge Liang.

"That's what my subordinates think." Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said, at such a moment, which direction the army will retreat from is naturally a matter for Liu Bei to decide.

Liu Bei looked embarrassed, and chose the path of retreat, if he was wrong, it would mean that he would have to bear a greater price, this situation was not what Liu Bei wanted to see, and the Yizhou army could not afford to lose.

"What about Yun Chang's opinion?" Liu Bei set his sights on Guan Yu.

"Big brother, the last general is a military general, and he doesn't know much about strategic matters, please make a decision." Guan Yu said.

Liu Bei felt tremendous pressure, and the future of the Yizhou Army was very likely to lie between one of his orders.

"Take the road on the right!" After a long time, Liu Bei said.

"Whoa." Guan Yu hugged his fist, he was in charge of the matter after the break, and now he is responsible for the affairs of the scout, on the road of the retreat of the army, it must be safe, once there is a situation in front, if you want to return to choose the road, it is not so simple, after the city is breached, the Chang'an army will definitely send soldiers and horses out of the city to pursue.

There were only more than 50 cavalrymen in the army who were sent to the battlefield, and only when the scouts controlled the situation on the battlefield could the army have a faster response.

Zhuge Liang's expression was also a little dignified, and he constantly adjusted the scouts according to the news transmitted from the battlefield.

In the face of difficulties, the top of the Yizhou army united unprecedentedly, and no one wanted to become a prisoner of others after this battle.

Lu Bu did not expect that Zhuge Liang would make such an analysis, the reason why he ordered the soldiers to light the fire on the road was to make Liu Bei suspicious, in this way, the possibility of Liu Bei choosing this road to retreat would be greatly reduced, so as to choose the road on the left, in the number of ambushes of soldiers and horses, Lu Bu has a focus, there are 4,000 soldiers and horses in ambush on the right, and there are 6,000 soldiers and horses in ambush on the left, among which there are elite Qiang soldiers.

Breaking through Chengdu City, the soldiers in the Chang'an army could not be used up, which was inevitable, and Lu Bu would not let Liu Bei leave so easily, so he chose the road on the right, compared to the road on the left side of the avenue, the road on the right side is more difficult to walk.
