Chapter 701: Kong Ming's First Battle against Zhou Yu

Shi Xie, today's official position is the Jiaozhi Taishou of the Han Dynasty.

However, although Shi Xie said that he was too shou on the surface, he was actually a local force on one side.

Of course, if it is just a cross-toed Shixie, then all this is naturally not enough.

However, Shixie also has three younger brothers, Shiyi, Huang You, and Shiwu.

The three of them are Hepu Taishou, Jiuzhen Taishou, and Nanhai Taishou, which means that the four of them occupy more than half of Jiaozhou.

Moreover, this scholar family was originally a big family, so his influence naturally became bigger and bigger, and in the end, Jiaozhou almost surrendered to Shixie.

And Shi Xie himself is also a good Taishou, he has a generous personality, a modest corporal, and many scholars in the Central Plains have taken refuge in Shi Xie.

Among them, the more famous ones are Yuan Hui, Xu Jing, Liu Ba, Cheng Bing, and Xue Zong.

Moreover, in history, this Yuan Hui also wrote a letter to Xun Yu, in which he said: "The prince of Jiaozhi Shifu is not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in governance, in the midst of great chaos, to protect the land of a county, there has been no war within the borders for more than 20 years, the people have not lost their property, and merchants and travelers have all benefited from him." Even if Dou Rong protects the land west of the river, he can't surpass him!

Therefore, it was precisely because he knew the character of this Shixie that Zhuge Liang persuaded Shixie to sincerely submit to the Han.

Although Liu Wei was concerned about the situation in Jingzhou, he hesitated about the distance between Jingzhou and Jinyang, and he couldn't know it immediately.

The weather in March has gradually warmed, especially for the south.

"It seems that this is really a time to fight."

Liu Wei looked in the direction of the south and couldn't help but sigh and said.

It seems that Sima Yi will choose to send troops at this time, which is really a premeditated thing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the Queen Mother asked you to hurry over, saying that the Queen Mother has something."

Just as Liu Wei was about to walk around and relax, a slave hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Liu Wei was also stunned when he heard this, "What's wrong?" ”

If there is nothing to do, then the slave and maid will naturally not dare to mess around.

"This... This slave is not easy to say, the Queen Mother asked Your Majesty to hurry over, Your Majesty should go there in person. ”

The slave looked at Liu Wei and looked very embarrassed.

Liu Wei wanted to say something, but in the end, he still raised his hand, thinking that it was over, "Take me quickly." ”

Liu Wei walked quickly to the dormitory of He Hou, and at this time, listening to what the slave said was urgent, Liu Wei naturally couldn't take care of it so much.

"Mother, Queen, how are you?" Liu Wei pushed open the door directly with an anxious face.

But the next moment, Liu Wei was stunned.

Because He Hou and Tang Ji didn't look like anything was going on at all, the two were talking and laughing and drinking tea.

Zhang Zhongjing on the side was still packing his things and was about to leave.

"Are you alright?"

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking, the Queen Mother and the Queen are naturally fine." He Hou looked at Liu Wei and said with a smile.

Liu Wei looked puzzled, and then looked at Zhang Zhongjing, "What's going on." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the queen mother is happy and pregnant with a dragon baby."

Zhang Zhongjing looked at Liu Bian, immediately saluted, and congratulated Liu Bian with a smile.

"There's... Bun in the oven? Liu Wei was very surprised, but he was a little expectant.

Although he had never planned to ask for it before, because the situation was unstable, he was still happy to have it.

"Divine Doctor Zhang, this time it's really thanks to your previous Dragon and Tiger Soup." He Hou also said with a smile at this time.

Her face was full of smiles and joy.

It's okay if he doesn't say this, as soon as he says it, Liu Wei is a little speechless, but according to the time, it is really possible that it will be that time.

Tang Ji on the side lowered her head and blushed, but Liu Wei could also see her smile.

"Okay, there is a reward, pass the order, and there will be a reward." Liu Wei ordered.

At that time, if there can be another victory in Jingzhou, then it will be even more perfect.

On this day, everyone was happy about Tang Ji's pregnancy.

But Zhuge Liang didn't, because he didn't know about Jinyang.

On the contrary, Zhuge Liang also found signs of Zhou Yu's army.

"Strategist, it seems that this Zhou Yu's army is not far ahead, if they preempt it, it will be troublesome."

A soldier looked at Zhuge Liang and asked anxiously.

Of course Zhuge Liang knew, such a thing didn't need a soldier to say that he understood it.

This Zhou Yu really has the ability, and he also saw that the opportunity this time is time.

Now Zhou Yu's army is only afraid that it is in front.

If you rush forward, you can't do it, and it's not possible to follow your ass all the time.

Detour to Jiaozhi, this obviously doesn't work, not to mention that I don't know if there is a road, even if there is, once bypassed, the time gap will be even greater.

The only way is to find a way to trap them.

According to the original intelligence, Zhou Yu had 20,000 horses, and Sima Yi sent Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, and also transferred more than 10,000 people from other counties.

Now Sima Yi's people have gone back, but Zhou Yu still has 20,000 people here.

With more than 100 people, it is obviously impossible to trap 20,000 people.

Then the only way is to trap Zhou Yu.

If Zhou Yu is trapped, then the 20,000 army will be leaderless, and it will naturally be dragged down.

Soon Zhuge Liang had a plan, and it seemed that he needed to fight with Zhou Yu first.

"You take two people to investigate the surrounding terrain and terrain, and report back when the time comes."

Zhuge Liang quickly looked at the person beside him and said.

The soldier answered, and then immediately took the men and left.

"You take a few people, go forward, and find out where Zhou Yu's army is stopping and what the terrain is nearby."

Zhuge Liang continued to instruct the rest of the people.

"Remember, come back and tell me before dark."

"Yes, Strategist."

Soon, many of the original hundred guards around Zhuge Liang left.

Zhuge Liang himself began to look around and began to pace, and from time to time, he also touched the grass and soil on the ground.

The soldiers who stayed with Zhuge Liang were a little puzzled, but they were also not easy to ask.

After all, this military advisor of theirs has a lot of things that cannot be understood.

About an hour later, the people who were sent out at this time began to come back.

"Strategist, Zhou Yu's army is twenty miles ahead of us."

"Looks like they're planning to rest for the night and then set off." Zhuge Liang said after hearing this.

It seems that Zhou Yu's army must have been forced to leave some time ago, and then he didn't find his traces, so he was ready to rest for the night.

"Where do they rest, what is the topography?" Zhuge Liang looked at the soldier and asked.

"Not far from them is a line of sky, and at the exit of a line of sky, there is a small swamp."

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and it was as he expected.

He had seen before that in some humid places, there was a chance to become a swamp, and it seemed that this was also the reason why Zhou Yu's army planned to rest.

Although this swamp is not big, if it is combined with this line of sky, then everything is just right.

It seems that this time he has taken advantage of the position.

"Is there a path around here, but near the swamp?"

Since there is a swamp, then someone must find another way.

"Strategist, you are really like a god, but this road is not easy to walk, and you can only pass two people at the same time."

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled, "No problem, this is enough." ”

Of course, this can be enough for two people, let alone two people, even one person at a time is enough.

As long as he goes around and is in front of Zhou Yu, then he will definitely be able to block Zhou Yu and them.

In this way, time will definitely be on your side.

Zhou Gongjin, you have tested me so many times, and this time, it is finally our turn to really fight.

"Set off as soon as it gets dark, and I'll have a way to trap them."

Zhuge Liang glanced at the front and then spoke.

Under the cover of night, Zhuge Liang and his party also set off from the path.
